Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 270
"Chuanjie, do you want anything?" On the last day of June, Zhu Chuanwen asked his younger brother. After all, it was time for Zhu Chuanjie to leave Bingcheng.

"No, big brother, I have nothing to be sad about having Yuqing with me this time! Isn't it just a place to go to school!" Zhu Chuanjie said indifferently.

"You boy, let mother hear this, you just wait to be beaten!" Zhu Chuanwen said angrily.

It's really a teenager who doesn't know what it's like to be sad... I don't know that there is a kind of sorrow called homesickness.

Since the Shuangcheng Government Secondary School was directly recognized by the US embassy, ​​the results of Zhu Chuanjie and Xia Yuqing were considered valid. When they arrived in the United States, the two of them took another entrance examination. If they passed the entrance examination, they could enter the school directly at the end of August. This is why it was so early Reason for moving.

Lao Zhu still did not know where to find another dark man named Lao Yan, who said he was taking care of Chuanjie's life in the United States.On Xia Yuqing's side, the Xia family also provided an old servant. This time it was a group of 4 people. They went to the United States along the road before Qu Zhengqian. If all goes well, they can see Zhu Chuanwu in Berlin.

"Okay, then you and Yushu have a good talk!" Zhu Chuanwen saw Xia Yushu looking for his younger brother again, and went to his study tactfully, waiting for someone else to see.

In 1908, the United States was actually in a period of steady development. Now Theodore Roosevelt is in power. Speaking of which, he is still the youngest president of the United States. He took office because the president was assassinated. He was the vice president at the age of 41. Take office directly.

A few years ago, Theodore Roosevelt also won the reputation of "Trust Blaster", because during his first term, he successively filed lawsuits against more than 40 companies based on the "Sherman Antitrust Act" , dissolved the Beef, Oil, and Tobacco Trusts, etc.,
In addition to anti-trust, Roosevelt's strategic vision is also very far-sighted. He is famous for implementing an active foreign intervention policy. He and military strategist Mahan (the one on sea power) and historian Brooks Adams put forward the "Pacific Empire In their view, the Pacific Ocean will inherit the historical status of the Atlantic Ocean and become the main stage of the world, and the Qing Dynasty and the United States will be the center of this big stage.In order to be able to shine on the world stage in the future, the United States must firmly control the Qing Dynasty market and occupy a dominant position in Qing Dynasty affairs!
And this concept almost established the necessity for Qing people to study in the United States after returning the Boxer indemnity.

Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help analyzing the current situation in the United States, and Han Yao really had a good time.

Qu Zhengqian's purchase of a steel production line in the United States went very smoothly. Against the background of the dismemberment of the trust, U.S. Steel also began to cut the industry. Qu Zhengqian successfully won an advanced steel production line with a daily output of [-] tons.Because of the cooperation with the Qing Dynasty, it really has a little bit of political correctness now. The consortium under Morgan has publicized this matter a lot, and it has been published in newspapers frequently. It has business and can support the president of its own party. Why? To be happy but not to do it, of course, this is also a speculation. Morgan has at most a part of the discourse power in the donkey party community.

On the first floor, the two young lovers were chatting rustlingly, with Zhu Chuanwen's orders, but no one disturbed them.

"Chuanjie, I'm going to America next year!" Xia Yushu said to her newly engaged fiancé.

The engagement of the two children was proposed by Zhu Kaishan to the Xia family after Chuanjie graduated, and the two families will be considered in-laws from now on.

"Well, I've heard that when you come, I'll basically figure out the affairs in America, and I'll tutor you well, and you'll go to college too." Zhu Chuanjie assured Xia Yushu like a man.

"Well, let's make a deal! Also, if you find a foreign girlfriend during the year I'm not around, watch me bite you to death!"

"No, no, isn't your elder brother staring at me?" Zhu Chuanjie looked around while there was no one at home, and kissed Xia Yushu in a blink of an eye. The house, only two years, can afford to wait.

Zhu Chuanwen's study.

"Brother, are you there?" Zhu Chuanjie knocked on the door lightly and shouted.

"Yes, come in."

"Brother, I heard that you have also established a Hanyao office in Pittsburgh?"

"Well, this is also what I want to tell you. If there is anything, you can call there directly. If you can solve it for you, you will solve it for you. If you can't solve it, you will send me a telegram directly. .” Zhu Chuanwen said.

The establishment of this office is mainly to purchase some customized precision instruments from this center of American steel. Right now is a good opportunity. I am really sorry for the timing.

In the future, ordering bearings and other things purchased from European countries in the Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Hong Kong offices can stop for a while, and start to transition to commercial companies. Hanyao's flour, monosodium glutamate, and cigarettes must also start to go to these places. Dumping, after the two expansions of the flour mill and the monosodium glutamate factory, the three Kanto provinces and even Japan can no longer afford the output, which is also the reason why the benefits cannot be maximized, and the freighter can never stop in Vladivostok.

The voyage of the "Yilan" is arranged in this way. It takes 15 days to go to Japan every two months, and then it takes 45 days to go back and forth to Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong.

In addition to the commercial firms, the offices in the three places have also begun to investigate the stocks of the rubber industry. At first, this matter came into Zhu Chuanwen's field of vision because he bought rubber from an American commercial firm last time, and then according to the news that Qu Zhenggan was in the United States this time, There are already many cars in the United States.

So affected by this, the price increase of rubber is inevitable, and Zhu Chuanwen also vaguely remembers the last straw that broke the Qing court.

Zhu Chuanwen accurately issued such an order to his offices in the three places, and after that, in 1908 alone, funds of 20 silver dollars will be allocated to the three offices. Gu Ansheng will be in charge of this matter later, he I will also go to Shanghai to sit in person after allocating funds around the end of the year. On the one hand, I will open up channels for commercial banks, and on the other hand, I will deal with rubber matters.

Speaking of the conversation between the two brothers, Zhu Chuanjie still wants to talk to his elder brother about his future plans:

"Understood, brother, I will contact your office if I have anything to do. As for my major, I still want to start from two directions: chemistry and physics."

"Well, it's all the basics. That's it. This time, you should go to the United States for a long time. At that time, your eldest brother will establish an industry in the United States. After studying, you will also learn to do business there. Let’s go.” Zhu Chuanwen said to his younger brother, his younger brother’s head is very bright, it’s one thing to study academically all day long, and on the other hand, it’s also a way to develop business, this is also the first time Zhu Chuanwen plans his life toward himself.

"Brother, I can't take care of this matter." Hearing that his elder brother still has business expectations for him, Zhu Chuanjie suddenly became uneasy. He had never mentioned this matter before, although he was confident in doing business. He should have talent in science, but seeing his elder brother's business grow bigger and bigger these years, he put out such thoughts and moved towards research.Back then, Zhu Chuanjie was the best learner in Xia's Shanhuo shop.

"I won't give you too much, but this part is unavoidable. You are my own brother, and it is very suitable for you to stand up for me and Hanyao in the United States. The United States is based on business. When Hanyao in the United States reaches a certain level, you will also You will have the opportunity to participate in some high-end gatherings and get more news, which is very important for the future development of Ice City. Also, look at Lao Chu and Guang Ting, both in research and shopkeepers Is it good?" Zhu Chuanwen said to his younger brother in detail, there are two kinds of people, an ordinary Qing Dynasty student and an entrepreneur with industry backing.

From the perspective of Hanyao alone, since 1905, Hanyao Bingcheng has developed to such a scale in only three and a half years. How about Hanyao in the United States, which will start next year or the year after, for this, Zhu Chuanwen is also beginning to consider the layout.Rubber, plastic, cotton cloth, if he can't remember the specific things, he has many designs from the future in his mind.These are enough to build a light industrial brand in the United States relying on three kinds of raw materials. In the final analysis, Zhu Chuanwen is still in control of the general direction.

"Understood, brother, then I'll see if I can take another course in business management." Now Zhu Chuanjie is still a little fuzzy, and feels that many things must be learned from books.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Chuanwen didn't stop him, so just learn if you want to learn.

"By the way, big brother, about my school, did you go directly to shopkeeper Qu?"

"Well, Lao Qu took the route of American Steel, and helped you and Xia Yuqing get admissions to two schools, one is Harvard, and the other is Columbia University in New York, but compared to Harvard, I think You are more suitable to go to Columbia."

"Brother, what should I say?" In fact, Zhu Chuanjie still prefers Harvard in his heart, which may have something to do with Bingcheng.

"Didn't Xia Yushu go to the United States in the next year? Barnard College is a women's undergraduate college affiliated to Columbia University in the United States." Zhu Chuanwen explained his reasons. There are many things in life that require trade-offs, and if Zhu Chuanjie can After successfully entering Columbia University, this fish Xia Yushu may become a classmate in the future and study together in the United States. If he chooses Harvard, then the two places may be separated.Similarly, if Chuanjie went to Columbia, Zhu Chuanwen will also order the office in Pittsburgh to gradually move to New York to do the preliminary work for the preparation of Hanyao in the United States.

Of course, all of this is not in a hurry for the time being. In the next two years, Bingcheng still has more important things to do, and the production line of weapons has to be set up no matter what.

"That's it..." Zhu Chuanjie also had a choice.

Zhu Chuanwen saw that his younger brother was thinking about it, so he didn't interrupt him. His younger brother can actually be treated as an adult now. His remarks in the middle school really shocked Zhu Chuanwen, and also shocked all the students and parents. This matter also made Zhu Chuanwen busy for a while, and the person I was waiting to meet was also related to this matter.

"I'll go to Columbia University, if I can pass the entrance exam!"

"Well, it's also a very good university." Zhu Chuanwen echoed, if that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with it.

The two were thinking about their college life in the future, but Zhu Chuanjie was surprised by Zhu Chuanwen's tone of a person who had experienced it. Why did he always feel that his brother also went to college?But then, I felt that my brother is a person who can use newspapers to judge the general trend of the world. He has never been to the United States, but a book written with empathy cannot be treated with common sense. This is what Zhu Chuanwen said about the university life. Chuanjie began to yearn for it stand up.

"Master Chuanwen, there is a gentleman surnamed Zhai coming to visit at the door!" The servant knocked on Zhu Chuanwen's study and said to the brothers.

"Chuanjie, you are in debt, and you have caused a lot of trouble for Mr. Zhai!"

This kind of internal strife has always been unavoidable, and the same is true for small government secondary schools. Zhu Chuanjie spoke impassionedly, and the students listened with enthusiasm, but it also caused a lot of trouble for Zhai Jingren, the supervisor of the secondary school. It was also the person Zhu Chuanwen was waiting for today.

The two brothers met the former supervisor of the middle school in the living room, and Zhu Chuanjie lowered his head when he saw Zhai Jingren. "Sir, I'm sorry!"

"Haha, Chuanjie, I heard that you are leaving for the United States tomorrow?" Zhai Jingren waved his hands indifferently. He also suffered an unreasonable disaster, but fortunately, he still has this troublesome brother to help him out, right?Only then did he avoid the embarrassment of being imprisoned and a family of old snacks not being able to eat.

"Mr. Zhai, you just let this boy pay you for it. It's because I didn't know about it before. I let him be dismissed and almost went to jail. It's because I didn't discipline him strictly." Zhu Chuanwen also said at the right time, Zhai Jingren was dismissed because of Zhu Chuanjie's braided remarks. The Qing court, as always, took this matter very seriously. He was directly dismissed by the Binjiang Prefecture Xuezheng on the spot and punished for lax discipline. In the end, it was Zhu Only when Kaishan met the prefect of Binjiang Mansion directly did he escape from prison.

Now, Zhai Jingren should accept Zhu Chuanjie's apology.

As for coming this time, it was also the news that Zhu Chuanwen sent to Zhai Jingren. Zhu Chuanjie will always know about this, and it can be regarded as Zhu Chuanwen's last lesson to his younger brother. If you do things without considering the consequences, you will hurt yourself. good person.

When the three of them sat down, Zhu Chuanjie realized how much trouble he had caused Mr. Zhai, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles.

"Mr. Zhai, it seems that you have to help take care of the women's middle school!" Zhu Chuanwen said to Di Jingren, now that Xian'er can take care of her baby with peace of mind, this girl's middle school just needs a person in charge.

"Mr. Zhu, I appreciate your kindness, and I am also grateful to Mr. Zhu Kaishan for solving this worry for me, but it is okay for me to be a teacher in a girls' high school, and a supervisor. Oh yes, I am the principal of a girls' high school. I don't think so. Sure." Zhai Jingren said evasively, it's a bit weird to say that he is the principal of a girls' high school.

"Mr. Zhai, don't worry, it's not too late for you to make a decision after I finish speaking. Starting from September this year, the girls' high school will officially change its name to Hanyao High School. Not only will it recruit girls, but it will also recruit boys who come to sign up." Also, in the future, Hanyao Middle School will not be the current middle school. The construction of the seven elementary schools will be completed at the end of July. In addition to being the principal of Hanyao Middle School, you also have the right to appoint the principals of the seven subordinate elementary schools. You should think about it again." Zhu Chuanwen said.

The construction scale of Hanyao Girls' High School was very grand at that time. According to Zhu Chuanwen's calculation, it can accommodate nearly 3 students in class. , and more, the second phase of the expansion of the girls' high school was launched, with 1-storey dormitories and teaching buildings rising one by one.

Moreover, although the poor man plan was handed over to the trade union for implementation, it was not appropriate to hand over the subsequent management to Qiao Hongguo. There are more and more workers in Bingcheng. .Zhu Chuanjie did a good job this time. Zhai Jingren was dismissed by the Binjiang School, but he happened to be able to come to Hanyao to watch the education work for Zhu Chuanwen.

Zhai Jingren did a good job teaching in the women's middle school, and he didn't treat them differently. What he taught was the same as that in middle schools. For this, Xian'er and Zhu Chuanwen both appreciated it. In addition, Zhai Jingren has been teaching for many years. He must have his own experience, and it is perfect for doing this.

"Mr. Zhu, what about Principal Tan?" Zhai Jingren was very puzzled at this moment. If he became the principal himself, what would Zhu Chuanwen's daughter-in-law do? If she lost her status as a fresher, what would the school's future funding be?Although Zhu Chuanwen's cake paintings are quite big now, Zhai Jingren has seen too many such things that are said to be vigorous, but in reality they are anticlimactic, especially this kind of pure money investment.

"You are worried about the appropriation." Zhu Chuanwen saw Di Jingren's worry at a glance. Xian'er will be the person in charge of Hanyao's education, or the shopkeeper. At the earliest, he can only take over after one year. Therefore, Zhai Jingren was still in charge of middle school and elementary school first, and even if Xian'er finally took over, he only cared about money. "Next year, Xian'er will still be the treasurer of Hanyao's education, and this matter will be under Xian'er's control, but this year, you have to pick things up, and the women in the women's middle school are all insurance The wife of the captain of the team is also there to give full play to the remaining heat, so don't dismiss me, with them here, I can feel at ease about the children's accommodation and meals." Zhu Chuanwen explained the identities of those people in the girls' middle school again, as if they were It has been confirmed that Zhai Jingren will be the principal.

At this time, Zhai Jingren was in a battle between heaven and man. Elementary school, middle school, Han Yao had established a complete modern education system before the Qing court, and his half-life ideals had finally come true. Excitement, happiness, and surprises filled his heart. In my heart, "Mr. Zhu, it looks like I'm going to change my name to my boss."

"You can call it whatever you want, haha." Zhu Chuanwen knew that Zhai Jingren agreed.

The conversation between the two was very pleasant. Tomorrow, Zhai Jingren will be able to join the girls' high school. He is originally Mr. Guowen of the girls' high school. At most, it will be Xian'er who will show up again and hand over the duties of the principal.

Zhai Jingren left, but Zhu Chuanjie still drooped his head, "Chuanjie, you still haven't thought about this matter. When you do things in the future, remember to recognize the consequences clearly, and you don't sigh. This is because you have done me a big favor." !"

After Chuanjie heard that he was a little more energetic, but he still had a forced smile. After all, he almost put his husband in jail.
