Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 357 Are you really willing?

Zhu Chuanwen's purchase of Picasso's paintings largely stems from his ever-growing addiction to collecting.

It may be a common problem. After people reach a certain level, they always like to collect some things. Not to mention that artistic value is a treasure of human beings. In fact, to a large extent, it is because these things are orphans in this world. This kind of feeling makes the collectors feel a little complacent.

To be honest, when it comes to oil paintings alone, apart from the Mona Lisa collected by the Louvre in Paris, Zhu Chuanwen can immediately think of Picasso, which has a profound impact.

Picasso's full name is really too long, but since Kostya commissioned the Paris branch to buy paintings, he is really one of the talented painters who have become famous in Paris.

In 1906, the 25-year-old Picasso was influenced by African primitive sculptures and Cézanne paintings, and turned to explore a new style of painting.So he painted a landmark masterpiece - "The Girl of Avignon".This incredibly large oil painting not only marked a major turning point in Picasso's personal artistic history, but also a revolutionary breakthrough in the history of modern Western art, which triggered the birth of the Cubism movement.

Now, in Zhu Chuanwen’s opinion, the price of the oil paintings of this talented Spanish painter who lives in Paris is a bit like the price of cabbage. It’s not a big problem to collect occasionally, but for a businessman like Zhu Chuanwen, a large-scale collection is a bit uncomfortable. It’s a good deal, one is that the cycle is too long (Picasso lived too long), it is estimated that when he is old, the price of these paintings will skyrocket; two, the paintings were all bought by Zhu Chuanwen, and there is no circulation in the world, so there will be no future generations Exorbitant prices too.

In the carriage, Zhu Chuanwen took stock of his original intention of collecting these things...

After returning to the porcelain house, Zhu Chuanwen saw Gong Ruomei playing games with his son by the fireplace, but his biological mother was nowhere to be seen.

"Romei, where's Xian'er?"

"Brother Chuanwen, sister Xian'er went to school and said she wanted to talk to Principal Zhai about something."

"Hey, really, I'll throw my son to you." Zhu Chuanwen walked towards his son while handing over the coat and gloves to the servant who came to pick up the clothes.

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway!" Gong Ruomei didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Speaking of which, she was really looking forward to it, and Zhu Chuanwen couldn't always avoid her because she had the excuse of taking care of the little things.

"Come on, call Dad!" Zhu Chuanwen didn't say anything, but opened his arms to his son.

"Aba, Aba..." Zhu Chuanwen was a little fascinated by the immature voice.

Counting according to the month, Zhu Guoding is already 15 months old. From 10 months on, he can unconsciously make the sound of "ma", and the word "ba" does not know how many times Zhu Chuanwen called his son "Dad" in exchange.

But it’s also a good deal. According to the relationship between investment and return, this period is called investment, and it will be income in the future, not a loss!

The word dad is not a foreign word. According to Zhu Chuanwen's recent textual research, there is such an explanation in "Guang Ya Shiqin": dad, father. The book "Guang Ya" can be said to be the expanded edition of "Er Ya", the ancestor of dictionaries, which means to expand "Er Ya". , "Shi Yan", "Shi Xun" and down to "Shi Beast" and "Shi Animal", a total of 19 articles can also be regarded as the first encyclopedia in Chinese history.

And the elegant in it refers to elegant words, which can be regarded as Mandarin in ancient Chinese.So that is to say, the word dad is the same as "father" in ancient Chinese. According to Zhu Chuanwen's conjecture, the pronunciation of father in ancient Chinese may be similar to ba.

Of course, these are all Zhu Chuanwen's idle speculations. He is just a businessman, and he is a fart.

"Brother Chuanwen, Xiaoman is very proficient at calling Dad now." Gong Ruomei said happily looking at Zhu Guoding who was already able to recognize people.

"No, it doesn't matter whose seed it is." Zhu Chuanwen was a little complacent, but he didn't know that it was a bit inappropriate to say this to an unmarried young girl.

Gong Ruomei blushed, and suddenly remembered that the students of Hanyao Middle School found her classmates through various relationships recently.

Under the influence of Zhu Chuanwen, Hanyao Middle School now has a group of sophisticated parties who like to get to the bottom of things, which is of course a good thing.In Bingcheng, after the insurance team moved in on a large scale, the secrets of the Zhu family that had been circulated in Zhujia Village in Sanjiangkou began to spread in the Hanyao Family Hospital and the insurance team area.

It indirectly affected the students of Hanyao Middle School. After all, the first batch of students had a great relationship with the insurance team. The insurance team members attended Hanyao Middle School. Zhu Kaishan, an old man who did not want to be named, guaranteed all the tuition fees.

In fact, it is Cao Dezhong holding back the bad joke Shan Shuxin's "Come report!" People in this era can be said to be still a little ignorant, such as the international army of the Qing court before-the Beiyang Navy, the Beiyang Navy Fujian There are many people, but they are trained by foreign cultures.

In general: telephone, English, Christmas; red wine, western food, worshiping Mazu.

These six things are enough to reflect their advancement and ignorance in this era. Liugong Island, the naval base that the Qing court spent a lot of money on, was still unable to avoid the Matsu Temple under the arrangement of a series of foreign gadgets. The scene where the ship model is enshrined at the same time.

Speaking of Bingcheng, it is precisely because Zhu Chuanwen has become the leading figure in Bingcheng, and the legend of Wenqu star descending to earth makes Zhu Chuanwen more mysterious among the residents of Bingcheng, farmers in the Black Province, and insurance team members. Said that Cao Dezhong originally wanted to make a joke with Shan Shuxin, but inexplicably, he misunderstood Zhu Chuanwen's identity.

"Well, brother Chuanwen, now the school is rumored that you are the star of Wenqu, can you tell me about the heavenly court? Can you remember? Will you be in the immortal class after you die?" Gong Ruomei was curious. Asked, she plans to study Zhu Chuanwen carefully.

Zhu Chuanwen was hugging Zhu Guoding, when he heard this, he almost staggered.

Heaven?Fairy class?
Why did this style of painting change towards cultivating immortals?He also received a report from the hunter department. He knew exactly what was going on, and was thinking about how to solve it. He simply said: "Don't listen to these people's nonsense, I am just an ordinary person. Look, am I a flesh and blood man?" body?" He held the child in his arms, leaned over to Gong Ruomei, and asked her to identify it.

Gong Ruomei was also impolite, she grew up among men when she was a child, and she pulled Zhu Chuanwen's face, maybe with some personal grudges - revenge for Zhu Chuanwen sometimes ignoring her petty thoughts.

Coincidentally, there was movement at the entrance door of the porcelain house, and this scene was watched by Xian'er.

The two also separated quickly, both looking cramped.

"Well, Ruomei, if you have nothing to do, go study, I'll play with Xiaoman for a while."

"Oh well……"

Gong Ruomei greeted Xian'er with a blushing face, and ran towards her room on the second floor.The look of being caught can't help but make people think.

"Well, Xian'er, just now Ruomei said that I am the Wenqu star who came down to earth, I will show her if I am human..." Zhu Chuanwen hugged the child and explained, but after saying this, it was really awkward .

Xian'er's expression did not change, but Zhu Chuanwen didn't know what she was thinking. Xian'er took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chuanwen, let's go to the reception room. I have something to talk to." Tell me."

It's over, it's over!Zhu Chuanwen's heart was a little beating, to be honest, he sometimes assured Xian'er that he had nothing to do with Gong Ruomei, and it was hard to explain why he just happened to see this scene.

Holding the little things, the couple sat in this office that handles Hanyao School's affairs.

Do I continue to guarantee it?Or continue to guarantee it?
Zhu Chuanwen hesitated in his mind, but Xian'er spoke first: "Brother Chuanwen, Hanyao Middle School's first batch of female students will graduate in July next year."

"Ah, let me tell you that I... oh, yes, I know, I'm still the same as a male student, sent to study abroad!"

"You're really willing!" Xian'er said angrily.

Zhu Chuanwen looked surprised, feeling that his personality had been insulted, and was about to say something, but Xian'er continued: "Even if you are willing, I am not willing. Female students will definitely encounter more difficulties when they go out. In Bingcheng, there are Hanyao, pickets, and hunters, so it is safe. You don’t know how many hooligans stared at us female students when the uniforms were changed in middle school. You too, summer uniforms you You must show your arms and legs!"

Speaking of this matter, Xian'er's face was full of anger. The beauty of women was reflected. As a person fighting for women's rights who can speak in Bingcheng, she naturally thinks it is a good thing. After all, a year later, the visual After the shock, the effectiveness of the women's liberation movement in Bingcheng can be clearly felt.The impact of the clothing reform is much greater than Zhu Chuanwen's copying of "Gone with the Wind". Of course, with the foundation of "Gone with the Wind", there is no voice of resistance to the clothing reform.

However, in fact secretly.This summer, Xian'er always asked Zhu Chunshan to come to the porcelain house. Zhu Chunshan had guaranteed the safety of the female students with her. Under the protection of the pickets and hunters, many signs were wiped out in the cradle. .Let these female students go to study abroad next year. It can be said that Xian'er is the first to be worried. Maybe this is also the same feeling after becoming a mother.

"Then what do you mean?" Zhu Chuanwen asked his wife's opinion.

"What I mean is that we set up a college by ourselves." Xian'er had a rare resolute expression on his face, obviously making a lot of determination.

"Just for the more than 20 female students graduating next year?"

"Brother Chuanwen, don't pretend, I have seen the construction of Hanyao University in your notebook." Xian'er looked at her man with a look of disgust. Zhu Chuanwen is good at everything, but he likes to hide it , likes to let others try to figure him out, he always looks like he is in his hands, mysterious and foresighted.It's nothing more than putting on airs in Hanyao's headquarters, and pretending in front of her.

Speaking of which, this is also the art of leadership that Zhu Chuanwen has successively studied over the past few years. His age is listed here. He is 22 years old. He has tens of thousands of people who follow him to eat. It is difficult to convince others without putting on a show.After this trick was used, the effect was obvious. At least in many cases, people always ignored his age.

Zhu Chuanwen has his own notebook, which is placed in the study, on which is the overall development of Hanyao.The development of the education system is a three-step strategy. The first step is the establishment of primary and secondary schools, and the second step is the vision for the construction of Hanyao University.

In fact, the second step has already started slowly. The establishment of Hanyao Technical School is to prepare for the preparation of Hanyao University Hall. Otherwise, the enrollment scale of 5000 students for a single middle school is indeed too large. And Zhu Chuanwen has recently approved another land around Hanyao Middle School, and is planning to demolish the original residents' houses to the family courtyard, and the scale of Hanyao Middle School will expand again.

"Haha, yes, but the current technical strength and educational strength can't support the construction of a university." Zhu Chuanwen said with a smile. People's forbidden places are all cleaned by Xian'er, and those that can be written in the notebook are also written after careful consideration, and most of them are still in his mind.

"It's impossible to say that, but we can learn from the initial establishment of the Nanyang University and the Beijing Normal University. We build each subject one by one. I think medicine is a good industry for women. We can recruit a lot of Chinese medicine, but Western medicine Well, I think we can cultivate it well." Xian'er actually had a busy day today, first went to talk with the girls who are about to graduate, and then went to find Zhai Jingren.

It can be said that the opinions of both parties have been confirmed. Zhu Chuanwen is supportive of the girls studying abroad, but most of the parties want to stay in Bingcheng, and Zhu Xiaowan is one of those who want to go outside to see the world. The goal is also that Barnard College of Columbia University intends to become an alumni of Xia Yushu.

"You mean to build Hanyao's western medicine department." Zhu Chuanwen pondered, this is within the preliminary planning scope of his Hanyao University Hall. It can be said that this will be one of the supporting projects of Hanyao's health campaign. , I haven't brought it up yet, but I didn't expect my wife to bring it up first.

Bingcheng is short of doctors, Xiaoqingshan is short of doctors, and even the current military doctors of the insurance team are half-baked.

At this level, it is actually far worse than the Beiyang Army.

The Beiyang Army has this awareness, and opened the Army Medical School in Tianjin in advance.

"Is there anyone for Zhai Jingren?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"Yes, he said that when he went to the consulate in Beijing last time, he happened to pass by Jinmen. Don't we still have some shares in the Jinmen pancreas factory? Yan Fansun also treated Zhai Jingren, saying that he was with him. They are confidantes of each other, and they communicate with each other anyway. During the period, they met a person named Wu Liande, who is currently the deputy supervisor (deputy principal) of the Beiyang Jinmen Army Medical School. He is from Nanyang and a medical doctor in Cambridge, England. Doctor." Xian'er obviously also named the candidate.

"Are people willing to come?"

"Zhai Jingren said that you agreed, and he started to contact. Even if he didn't come, he could introduce many colleagues. Although this person is not well-known at present, he has made achievements in his own field." son said.

"I agree!" Zhu Chuanwen said while taking away his son's little hand from Hubala on his face.

"That's fine, I'll tell him." Xian'er said, and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Zhu Chuanwen.

"A phone call is all it takes. This year's annual meeting is just around the corner. I will leave funds for the Hanyao Medical School. If there are students who don't want to study abroad in the future, the Hanyao University School is also their choice."

Xian'er felt that Zhu Chuanwen was constantly scratching her palm, and she knew what was going to happen next. Husband and wife always had this kind of small secret code for behaviors that were too embarrassing to talk about.He gave Zhu Chuanwen a blank look, which probably meant "this enemy!", and he didn't refuse...

It just so happened that she was still a little upset. The sisters like Yang Cai'e and Wulan Tuya were right. Men are the ones who can't stand loneliness, but when there is not a drop left, let them feel powerless. go!

When Zhu Guoding returned to his own range of activities under the care of his servants, how could he know.In that reception room, the seeds of possible life were exploring their own signs again, looking for opportunities to break out of the ground.

……

"Treasurer Gu, you have been a dragon for the past two years!" In the spacious conference room on the 4th floor of Hanyao's headquarters, Chu Keqiu joked Gu Ansheng triumphantly.In the past two years, Mao Guangting has gradually taken over the daily affairs of Hanyao Commercial Bank in the Kanto area, and he seems to be more capable than Qu Zhenggan who took over before.

Qu Zhenggan, on the other hand, seemed to be more concerned about the affairs of the steel factory.

"Old Chu, you look so happy, why, your wife is pregnant with the third child?"

Don't think that a group of intellectuals in the late Qing Dynasty gathered together to be polite, Zhu Chuanwen scolded his mother, but Zhu Kaishan's true biography, and these shopkeepers, except for Gu Ansheng and Qu Zhenggan, belonged to the Qing court. Yes, Xu Shou graduated from heretics.It doesn't have the sour smell of Kong Yiji.

I greet the craftsmen in the factory a lot, and I like to greet people in the lower third way.

"Hey, that's true, why are you envious! But shopkeeper Gu, you should also be thankful that sister-in-law is not pregnant." Chu Keqiu was not to be outdone, and speaking of it, this guy's mouth became more and more cheap.Gu Ansheng's daughter-in-law is currently in charge of the logistics at Hanyao Middle School. She didn't go with Gu Ansheng and stayed here with her son. If she becomes pregnant, it will become a stalk that is circulated on the Internet in later generations. .

"I'm envious, let me tell you, I'm a bridegroom every night in Shanghai!" Gu Ansheng bragged, as if he wasn't the one who asked for tiger bone wine from Zhu Chuanwen.

"Really?" These words made all the shopkeepers on the table look sideways...
