Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 109 Gaining fame and forming a faction

"Is the world really better than hell? God also dozes off." Tesla put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a handkerchief beside him, with memories in his eyes: "This sentence reminds me of Dante, who once said "The darkest place in hell is for those who cannot distinguish between black and white in times of moral crisis", in other words, if a person suffers injustice in the world, what is the difference from hell?"

There is something in the words, touching the scene, these words are obviously associated with all the grievances he has suffered in the American electrical industry, if Cheng Nuo can't hear this voice-over, and can't give a clear attitude, Tesla will inevitably have some feelings in his heart. From another point of view, in terms of age, he has passed his sixtieth year, and he is older than Cai Yuanpei who accompanied the guest. No one wants to have such a bad experience in his later years.

Cheng Nuo is well aware of the twists and turns, but his perspective is obviously higher, and he will not put all his attention on one person, even if the other person is the father of alternating current: " Mr. Tesla, if a country suffers from injustice, it is hell on earth for the local people, and this is happening. It will always be the case for the person who can save the people, whether it is yellow skin or white skin. Friends in this land, whether spiritual or material, will never forget him."

The big pie still needs to be painted. If the gringos really don’t like this set, then adjust it in time and draw them a big pizza. I believe there will always be a suitable one for these people.

With these things laid a good foundation, it will be much easier to talk about other things later. I will basically talk about local customs, diet, travel and other things, and try to eliminate the sense of barrier caused by some cultural differences as much as possible.

Considering Tesla's advanced age, even a genius will age one day, and his energy is naturally not as good as that of most young people, especially in the field of scientific research and invention, which requires more youth and talent.

After arranging Tesla to rest, Cheng Nuo approached Cai Yuanpei again and asked, "Mr. Cai, how are you doing? Do you think this Mr. Foreign meets your requirements, and is he in the eyes of Peking University?"

"How big is the vision of Peking University? If you don't know, how did you come to the school?" Cai Yuanpei stood at the door and said with a smile: "If your academy of sciences can't accommodate the old man, Peking University can reluctantly clean up this mess for you and help Looking for a place where you can spend your retirement years."

"Hey, what Cai Gong said is wrong. We can overcome our difficulties by ourselves. How about we continue to explore on the road of science." Cheng Nuo stopped the topic, brought up the lunch box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Just now at the dining table I only saw Cai Gong greet Mr. Tesla, the chopsticks on the table hadn’t moved much, now it’s summer, I’m going to bed late, I’m afraid I’ll be hungry later, this is the plain noodles I specially asked the restaurant to deliver, Cai Gong took advantage of Hurry up and eat, lest you get lumpy in a while."

Jokes aside, as an elder, the other party came south this time to help Cheng Nuo, so as a junior, Cheng Nuo should have the courtesy and care that he should have.

After all, it is summer, and there will be a delay on the way for a while, which will affect the taste of the noodles to some extent. Here, the chef of the restaurant is specially instructed that the noodles are hard noodles, and the soup, small ingredients and side dishes are separated, and they will be mixed again when they are delivered. Once mixed, some of the deliciousness can be restored to the greatest extent.

Looking at the plain noodles that had been prepared on the table, Cai Yuanpei was moved and thought about bringing over a new pair of bowls and chopsticks: "This person, once he gets old, his appetite is not as good as yours. I can eat two large and small bowls by myself, but I can’t do it now, at least I ate some to fill my stomach at the reception banquet, I really can’t finish eating so many noodles, so hurry up and take some away.”

Cheng Nuo repeatedly refused: "Mr. Cai, I'm here to deliver food, not to grab food. I didn't eat less just now. I'm really not hungry now. You should enjoy the delicious food. The plain noodles specially prepared for you. I heard that his family’s delicious food is the only one in Shanghai.”

Cai Yuanpei didn't quite believe this. Under Cheng Nuo's persuasion, he still divided half a bowl and handed it over: "It's not easy for farmers to grow some food, and it's shameful to waste food. You are still young and digest quickly. Eat more It’s okay, maybe it can grow even longer.”

Cheng Nuo had no choice but to bring the half of the bowl over: "Cai Gong, I'm already 23, so there's no way this could grow any longer."

"23, run away, who can tell what will happen in the future." Cai Yuanpei smiled, took out the garlic in the lunch box, broke off half of it and threw it in front of Cheng Nuo: "If you eat noodles without garlic, the taste will be less Half, do you mind if I eat it here?"

"How can this be, Mr. Cai can eat whatever you want, there is not enough for me." Cheng Nuo smiled, took the lead in peeling one, and took a bite of the second bite. The unique spicy rushes straight into the nostrils, and took advantage of this energy to eat noodles quickly. : "Happy, it's a pity that Mr. Tesla doesn't understand the charm of our diet. In the face of culture, there is definitely a lot to do.”

"Speaking of which, Zhiyuan, how do you plan to arrange Tesla? Beijing is in chaos right now. We won't be able to go back for a while, so we can only run around outside first." Cai Yuanpei took a sip of noodles, holding a bowl and said: "Shanghai It’s good, but it’s not your base after all, don’t be fooled by the prosperity in front of you, fish and dragons are mixed, forces from all sides are intertwined, the situation is even more chaotic, there are too many people, and the road is difficult to walk.”

Cheng Nuo put a few drops of chili oil, and after stirring well, the clear soup immediately turned into red soup: "It's all about human effort. At present, Shanghai is the largest city in the Far East, and the port trade is booming. The Academy of Sciences cannot do without it if it wants to buy some equipment. Later We can only talk about water transportation or land transportation, so for now, I plan to establish an electrical association in Shanghai first, to have a foothold for the time being, to echo from the north to the south, and then to develop inland step by step."

At present, there are basically few peaceful places in the country. Zhang Xun in Beijing is restored, and Chen Shufan in Shaanxi is also Duan Qirui's soldier. Now he is being angered by the local gentry, and there will be no peace soon.Another place I want to deal with is the southwestern border. The civil war between several major warlords has just started, and it is not yet certain when it will end.

Bullets don't have eyes, and it would be too late to regret if the talents of a certain academy of sciences were transferred to the local area.

The reason why I choose Shanghai is not only that other places are not good at this time, but also because the local infrastructure is better. In terms of living, Shanghai has more convenient electricity, running water, heating, sanitation, medical and other facilities than Chinese urban areas, and can build modern housing. Enjoying a Western-style lifestyle can provide a comfortable living environment for Shimono warlords, bureaucrats, old and young survivors of the Qing Dynasty.In terms of culture, Western-style cultural and entertainment facilities in the concession, such as movies, dramas, horse racing, sports, Western-style restaurants and hotels, etc., can meet people's entertainment needs.

If you want to attract the Chollima, besides the saddle, the necessary stables are also indispensable. Otherwise, even if they come, after enjoying the convenient life brought by industry in the capitalist country, they will squat in the dry toilet with Cheng Nuo and the others. It is easy to scare away some foreign noses with unstable minds.

Warm water frogs also have to go through a cooking process. After the local academy of sciences builds the area later, they will have no chance to run away.

Looking at the bright red soup, Cai Yuanpei wanted to put some chili at first, but when he picked up the bottle, he was choked by the spiciness. He hesitated and put it down. He poured a few drops of vinegar into the bowl, and took a sip. Incomparably delicious: "The ancient monarchs used thousands of dollars to seek a thousand-mile horse. Today's president of the Academy of Sciences can also imitate the sages and seek scientific workers from all countries to strengthen themselves."

His face was flushed by the heat, and Cheng Nuo tore off his collar: "You can buy horse bones with a thousand dollars, not to mention that this horse can run thousands of miles. No matter how you look at it, we are not at a loss. It also seems that we are a virtuous corporal. I will try to use this as an example later. Continue to invite some "persecuted" scientists from other countries, with this number one, I believe that number two will not be too late."

Cai Yuanpei peeled off the garlic in his hands, chewed the garlic and noodles, and enjoyed it very much, but after eating for a while, he felt something was wrong, so he put the garlic down again: "In this way, your Academy of Sciences will be broken, and we will How can the engineering students of Peking University attend Mr. Tesla's class, so they can't come to Shanghai, after all the calculations, they are considered to be fooled by your kid, which is different from what we said at the beginning."

Cheng Nuo hurriedly brought over all the remaining side dishes and put them in front of Cai Yuanpei, with a smile on his face: "Cai Gong, come here, here is the salty rice I specially ordered, authentic Zhejiang mouth, When we were in Beijing, we couldn’t eat this.”

Cai Yuanpei felt that this kid had a ghost in his heart, no wonder he took a sip of the noodle soup and it turned out to be so sour: "Don't tell me, I have all the salty noodles from my hometown. If you want to eat it, I'll get it for you. You can't be careless about cooperation."

Cheng Nuo put the side dishes away and explained, "Mr. Cai, you can rest assured that the side dishes are just side dishes, and the Electrical Association is also an Electrical Association, so it won't affect what I said earlier."

Seeing this, Cai Yuanpei ate a small piece of side dish, and said suspiciously in his tone, "Don't be sloppy with me, I know your family, if you coax me, next time you will bring stinky tofu instead of salted rice."

"Haha, I want salty rice and stinky tofu at that time." Cheng Nuo cleaned up all the noodles in the bowl, leaving only some chopped green onion and coriander floating on it, and said with a smile: "Besides the focus of the academy's work is Beijing, Peking University can also recruit a group of good seedlings, and the Electrical Association can train them on their behalf, and when the time comes to return to school, it will also be a supplementary batch of important blood."

Cai Yuanpei couldn't help nodding to Cheng Nuo, and said helplessly, "You, is it because Peking University pays your wages, recruits people, and then turns south to come to Shanghai to work for you for nothing?"

Cheng Nuo shook his head like a rattle, and suppressed a smile: "Mr. Cai's words are too far-fetched. You don't need to go south. Turning to the east is the new place of our Academy of Sciences. It doesn't need to be that far. Whether it's for us, For those young teachers, it is of great significance and a win-win situation."

In the end, the two simply replaced the wine with noodle soup, one young and one old, one spicy and one sour, to end this special vegetarian noodle feast.

A full set of plays is necessary. Early the next morning, Cheng Nuo sent messages to "New Youth" and "National" magazines in Beijing by telegram, publicizing the news of Tesla's coming to China in a high-profile way, and encouraging people in China to be interested in science. Young people with career development have a visible future and are worth pursuing.

At the same time, Cheng Nuo, through Huang Yanpei, Cai Yuanpei, Zhang Jian, Chen Jiageng and others, used their relationship to hold a grand reception in the local area.

If you want to talk about whether you are afraid of the enemy's assassination before holding the reception meeting, if you say you are not afraid, it is a lie, a person has one life, and there are so many concerns in this life, and he cherishes his life more than ever, not because he is afraid of death, but because he is afraid of death value, that would be too much of a loss.

But Cheng Nuo's life cannot always be scientific research. If he wants to make greater achievements, he needs more funds. At this time, the government can't count on it at all, so he needs the Academy of Sciences to fend for itself.And if you want more funds, you need a bigger industry. When it comes to money, it’s okay to talk about hours, but when the cake gets bigger, it will attract more flies. At that time, only the power of literati may not be enough to deal with it.

In the final analysis, the Academy of Sciences is also made up of people, and it is indispensable to pull relationships. With the help of the city of Shanghai and the signboard of Tesla, it simply forms its own system in the country and slowly absorbs other forces. The efficiency of inviting people one by one is too low. It is better to let These people come up on their own.

In a certain big hotel, Cheng Nuo walked through the crowd in a formal dress, greeting all the "elites" who came.

"Mr. Fan Sun, long time no see. The last time we said goodbye to the China Vocational Education Association, we have never seen each other again. Don't worry, Mr. Boling and I have a very good relationship. We will definitely strengthen cooperation with Nankai School in the future. Start science education." This is Yan Xiu, who founded the Nankai series of schools with Zhang Boling, and later thought about taking Zhou Gong as his son-in-law, but unfortunately the fate did not come, but even so, he was also called "Nankai school father" .

"Mr. Ma, your body looks tough. No one who doesn't know the truth can associate you with someone who is almost 77 years old. Don't worry, don't look at me young, I am also exercising. When I have time, I will definitely Go to Fudan Public School to give a speech. What, choosing a day is worse than hitting the day, you want me to go tomorrow? Okay, okay, I promise you, when the time comes, I will also bring the gymnastics I promoted, and continue to carry forward your spirit of exercise." This is Ma Xiangbo, the founder of Aurora, Fudan, and Furen. He is still full of energy at the age of [-].

"Mr. Hu, I didn't expect to meet you here. I remember that you were in charge of academic affairs in some academic affairs offices. It was you who personally sent us students studying abroad on the Geng fund to the ship. You will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. This glass of wine I respect you. Hey, I’m invited to give a lecture at Datong University. I’m probably very busy during this time. Don’t worry, I will never refuse. I will definitely go back to visit you before the end of the month. Don’t be disgusted by then.” This is Hu Dunfu , founded the private Datong University with one hand. At that time, it was known as "the north has the south, and the south has the Datong".

Except for the above three people, many of them are old friends who have met before, but they met once before, and they didn’t talk much. Now they are gathered together, such as Hu Mingfu, Yang Xingfo, Ding Wenjiang, etc., many people At the beginning, they all had senior officials in the government, but later they could not get used to the darkness and sought other paths to pursue their ideals.

It's a pity that in terms of fame, Cheng Nuo is not as good as Cheng Nuo at the moment, and he has to take the initiative to lower his toast, which makes Cheng Nuo a little helpless.

　Slow state, will be updated later.
