Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 69 Overseas Study Fund

College students in this era are even more precious than pandas. Each of them is a talented person, and because they are young, their blood is still in their hearts, and they have not been infected with the bad habits of Yang Shuqing and others. These young students are still eager to change this country. They are even willing to pay the price of blood for this, which has been proved time and again in history, but these students are easy to be used by those who want to.

Zhang Tinglan is also willing to talk to them more, it is best to influence them, and don't let them waste their blood in vain.

"Students, Yang Shuqing made at least two fatal mistakes in the things he advocated. One is that he took the inferiority of human beings as the inferiority of Chinese people. Greed, selfishness, blindness, and weakness are common to human beings, not unique to Chinese people. The second is that he regards the problems of development and change as unchanging. Problems such as the quality of the people, economic backwardness, and official corruption are all solved by development. .In the Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, China stood at the top of the world, and Chinese etiquette was an example for the barbarians to learn from. Why did no one criticize the national character at that time?"

Gu Hongming has been listening to Zhang Tinglan's words, and the more he listens, the more he finds it makes sense. He is well versed in both Chinese and Western cultures, so he naturally knows that Chinese culture is not as bad as those literati say, and the West is not as good. It's just that he can't explain the reality that the West is strong and China is backward. .

Gu Hongming's behavior was surly and extreme, and he even had pigtails. In fact, this was just a reaction of inner pain and struggle.When he heard that using development to solve problems was like enlightenment, he immediately said: "Sight-seeing, sharp to the point, such a word of development, it tells the crux of the matter. Take London as an example. A few decades ago, the streets were full of shit. It was dirty and filthy, and now it has become glamorous, which is naturally the result of development. The so-called quality of the population is also the same, the more the society develops, the more educated people are, and the quality will naturally improve."

"Then how should we develop?"

"The reason why the west is ahead of us is because they can do things we can't. Simply put, they have a strong industry and can produce all kinds of advanced industrial products. We have to pay a lot of money to buy them. All of them flowed into their pockets. Rich Westerners can naturally dress themselves up glamorously, so they have the capital to look down on us. But if we want to catch up with them, we must naturally catch up in industry. When our industrial products catch up Going to the west, even surpassing the big powers, can they still be superior?"

The reason why developed countries are developed is not because they have votes, nor is it because of their democracy, because no matter how they vote, they cannot get resources or open markets.In the final analysis, it is necessary to make money through trade. If you can make high-end products with high profits, you can occupy a vast market, wealth and status will come naturally, and your words and deeds will become an example for the world.

"Students, as far as I know, most of you are majoring in liberal arts. Mathematics, physics and chemistry have been neglected, and the school has not set up such majors. But China's powerful method lies in industry, and you need to do it yourself. Wisdom and blood and sweat build factories and prop up the backbone of the nation. As for reciting poems and prose, these things are just icing on the cake, which may be useful when we are wealthy, but they are really superfluous when we can’t fill our stomachs!"

The students were listening to Zhang Tinglan's words quietly, and everyone's heart was greatly shocked. Zhang Tinglan's words did not have the loud slogans and provocative words of those professors, but they were reasonable, and everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Kwong Rongguang has been listening, and his feelings are quite different from others. As the first batch of young children studying in the United States, he naturally understands the powerful industry in the West. After returning to China, he also wants to make a difference.However, he faced exclusion everywhere. Those traditional scholars did not regard him as a scholar at all, but as a craftsman.

As far as the university majors are concerned, literature, history and philosophy have an absolute advantage. If you can add law, medicine, journalism, etc., you can be considered a comprehensive university. As for mining, metallurgy, machinery, electronics, chemistry, etc., which are urgently needed for industrial development Professions are seriously neglected.

Some scholars even advocate putting these subjects in junior colleges. In their opinion, universities are no different from the former Imperial College, and should be used to train reserve officials. You can't become a mud leg in dealing with craftsmen, that will only humiliate the gentleman.

Other professors lived in special villas, but Kuang Rongguang was placed in this humble compound. The difference in treatment also speaks volumes.

Now Zhang Tinglan stood up to speak to the science and engineering department, which made him feel very kind. Originally, he was still in the favor of Wang Yongjiang, so he was willing to see Zhang Tinglan. Now that he saw it, Kuang Rongguang became ambitious again, and desperately wanted to have a good chat with Zhang Tinglan. chat.

"Students, Mr. Zhang has talked so much, everyone should think about it carefully, and don't disappoint Mr. Zhang's intentions!" Kuang Rongguang sent away the reluctant students, leaving only Bayuzao, Gu Hongming, and others in the courtyard. There are several people like Zhang Tinglan.

Kuang Rongguang took Zhang Tinglan's hand and kindly invited him into the room, and everyone sat down.Kuang Rongguang said with a smile: "Ting Lan, it really is a hero born a boy, how eloquent Yang Shuqing is, he is not your opponent."

"Mr. Kuang, to be honest, I don't want to provoke these people. It's just that they talk nonsense and look down on science and engineering. It's really annoying!"

"If you hate it, you hate it. You will be in trouble in the future!" Gu Hongming said with a smile: "Don't look at you asking Yang Shuqing so much now, but you have to know that they are not alone, and they will weave a lot soon. If you are accused of crimes, and then call your friends and friends, you will be completely stigmatized in the newspapers, these people are all dogs."

"Hey, whatever. Anyway, I will return to Fengtian in a few days. They can't go to Fengtian to scold me."

Zhang Tinglan didn't want to have a premature dispute with these literati, but Fengtian's large-scale construction was imminent, and the two concepts were bound to collide, so they might as well break it down early, so as to find out who is the friend and who is the enemy.

"Mr. Kuang, I came to visit you this time because I hope you can come to Fengtian. I am planning to build a batch of industrial and mining enterprises. Mr. Zhang Zuolin is also very supportive. However, we are all laymen and have ideas but cannot implement them, so I found you. .”

Kuang Rongguang thought for a while, and then said: "At first, I didn't want to make a fuss, but based on Ting Lan's opinion today, I know that you are a person who can really do things for the country. If you go to Fengtian, I can also show my strength." , I’m going to go right away!”

"Brother Zhang, in fact, I also intend to go to Fengtian, but I haven't finished my studies yet, so I don't know how to choose!" Bayuzao has long felt the rejection of science and engineering in China. Paying attention to science and engineering, and hearing that Zhang Zuolin was also willing to support the establishment of a factory, Bayuzao was also moved.

"Brother Ba, I welcome you if you want to go to Fengtian, but since you haven't finished your studies, you should finish your studies first. We don't have many high-level talents, so you should cherish this opportunity to learn. Don't worry, the gate of Fengtian will open to you at any time." You are open, and I promise that as long as you return from your studies, I will prepare a research fund of 100 million yuan for you."

Zhang Tinglan promised millions of funds as soon as he opened his mouth. Bayuzao’s eyes were a little bright. If he wants to do scientific research, he has to spend money. However, he is also aware of the situation of the Chinese government. Even the Beiyang government can spend 10,000+ for investment. Scientific research is not bad, absolutely, there is no such a big hand, so he is very excited.

"Brother Zhang, let's make a deal, you can't go back on your word!"

"Don't worry, Brother Tinglan is rich, there will only be more, not less!" Zhang Xueliang also interjected: "Brother Tinglan just negotiated a cooperation agreement with Zhu Erdian, and the first order is 50 pounds. , there will only be more in the future!"

Only the upper echelons who attended the dinner knew about it. When Kuang Rongguang and the others heard about it, they immediately became interested. Zhang Tinglan also briefly introduced the situation. Kuang Rongguang and Bayuzao listened carefully. Skill, if you follow him, I'm afraid you will never have to worry about funding.

Gu Hongming on the side nodded frequently: "Ting Lan, the more money foreigners can earn, the better. If you are not short of money, I suggest you train more talents. Industrial development is inseparable."

"Yes, I also want to find opportunities to send overseas students overseas, but it takes time to get through the joints, and I need to find suitable students!"

Sending overseas students is not as easy as it is in later generations. It is necessary to greet foreign governments and manage these students effectively. Otherwise, the gap between China and foreign countries will be too large.

"Brother Zhang, why don't you arrange a few people to go to the United States with me!" Bayuzao expressed his thoughts: "When I returned to China this time, I found that our industry was almost blank, and there was no one to help me. I have to do things by myself these days. If possible, you can arrange a few people for me. I usually teach them as much technology as possible, and then send them to the factory for training. After returning, being a mechanic will not be a problem, and you can cooperate with me Work, save time for cultivation!"

Bayuzao is really aware of the gap between China and the West. In Europe, he can easily find parts factories and recruit suitable workers, while China relies on imports for everything. With such a weak foundation, even if he has a big I can't use my skills.

After Zhang Tinglan heard his proposal, his eyes suddenly lit up. Bayuzao reminded himself that in the past Zhang Tinglan always wanted to send overseas students to study in universities, but now he discovered that the most lacking in China is middle and lower-level skilled workers. Just like the foundation of industry, without their support, even high-end things cannot become real industrial products.

"Brother Ba, your proposal is very good. I will set up a special overseas study fund, which not only supports those college students of science and engineering who are willing to serve the country, but also supports those workers who want to learn technology in western factories. It is tentatively set at 50, as long as it is needed, It can be increased at any time, and you can also help me to pay attention, if overseas Chinese youths intend to return to China to serve, they can also be included in the scope of funding, in short, Fengtian needs all talents related to industry!"
