What kind of reward?
Facing the boss's inquiry, Li Qingen was stunned. He suppressed the joy in his heart and thought a lot.
Want a bounty?
Or want a house?
But what if you get these?
Just when he hesitated, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"Don't feel embarrassed, as long as your request is reasonable, I will agree to it!"
Rather than saying that he would definitely agree, it would be better to say that Zhu Xianhai wanted to "buy bones for a thousand gold."
He hopes to use Li Qing'en as a "horse bone" and an example to inspire Chinese people's enthusiasm for researching and learning technology.
Just financial stimulation can definitely inspire people's eagerness to learn, but what if it's money plus honor?
The sentence "There is beauty like jade in the book, and there is a house of gold in the book" aroused the enthusiasm of Chinese scholars for thousands of years to pursue fame.
What if the "book" that "has its own beauty like jade, and the book has its own house of gold" turns from the "Four Books and Five Classics" into scientific research and into modern science?
When scientific research and technological research can bring them reputation and wealth, what kind of transformation will the enthusiasm of the Chinese people produce?
Zhu Xianhai is looking forward to seeing all this, looking forward to seeing people's changes, looking forward to seeing enthusiastic compatriots devote themselves to this industrial revolution, using their ingenuity and wisdom to light up human civilization, just like the ancestors of China used
His own wisdom illuminates human civilization.
Faced with the choice given by the employer.
Li Qingen hesitated.
Want money?
According to the boss's generosity, the bounty will definitely be indispensable.
Want a name?
What is this name?
Become a technician? Earn dozens of dollars more a month?
But what will happen then?
Li Qingen's brows knitted together, and suddenly, he thought of Commander Staum's contemptuous eyes and sarcastic words.
"Why can't we do it?"
Suddenly, he raised his head and said.
"My boss, I don't want any reward, I only want one thing from my boss."
"Oh? You said."
Zhu Xianhai was stunned. Could it be that he was going back to China?
Okay, now the cowhide is broken!
Just when I was thinking about it, I heard him say.
"Boss, I, I want to study in the West, the kind of books engineers would study!"
Oops!
For an instant, Zhu Xianhai was stunned, and even the way he looked at Li Qingen changed.
Good guy, this request he made simply made people look at him differently.
"Are you sure? You have to know that this opportunity may only come once!"
"I'm sure! Boss, I know that the request I made is not appropriate, but boss, we can't always use foreigners. We must learn to use machines ourselves, know how to make machines, and learn from foreigners to learn from them.
Yi, we are not as good as others, so we have to learn, and we can only learn in England."
When he said these words, Li Qingen suddenly no longer hesitated or regretted. What was there to regret about this?
"We can't let Westerners look down on us! Boss."
Look down on us!
Zhu Xianhai pursed his lips. He didn't ask why, he just nodded.
"If you are not as skilled as others, you will definitely be looked down upon by others. If you are poor and courageous, you will not be successful. You must also have the courage to admit that your skills are inferior to others, and then immerse yourself in learning from others, ten, twenty, or thirty years! As long as you immerse yourself in learning
, immerse yourself in development, and sooner or later, you will definitely be able to catch up with them!"
Looking at Li Qingen, Zhu Xianhai thought for a while.
"In this way, you can perfect your design first, and then go to Nanhua School to learn English every day."
"learn English?"
"Yes, if you don't learn English, how can you study in a foreign country?"
"My boss..."
Hearing this, Li Qingen's face showed joy.
"My boss, I, I..."
"Don't be happy yet. I sent you to study abroad to serve the company. If you fail to study, then..."
"My boss, if I can't study well, how can I come to meet my boss? No matter if it's five or six years, or ten or eight years, I will definitely study hard and live up to my boss' trust!"
Looking at Li Qingen who was standing in front of him and bowing respectfully, Zhu Xianhai stood up and said.
"I trust you!"
After patting his shoulder, Zhu Xianhai said again.
"But now, you still have one thing to do!"
"And one more thing?"
When Li Qingen was confused and confused, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"You haven't said yet, what reward are you looking for!"
award!
There are actually rewards!
Everything was like a dream. On that day, when Li Qingen moved from the workers' dormitory to a two-story townhouse and the family moved into their new home under the eyes of everyone's congratulations and envy, the news spread immediately.
All of Nanhua.
This is actually possible!
People were envious of him for moving to a new home and getting a new house, and they were even more surprised by his change in identity. He actually became a technician!
Apart from foreigners, he is the first!
"It turns out that the golden house in the book is really there!"
"It's not in the books, it's in the foreign knowledge of foreigners. There really is a golden house!"
I don't know how many people were surprised by Li Qingen's change in fate, but they were also envious of his opportunities. Of course, their thoughts also became vivid.
It was at this time that Zhu Xianhai took advantage of the situation and published an article in the "Nanhua Daily" "Nanhua Night School" opened English classes, and everyone is welcome to sign up.
Why start English classes?
Because engineering books are all in English. In fact, Zhu Xianhai hopes to establish an engineering night school to attract literate and educated adults among workers, and to train technicians and even engineers from workers, but there are no Chinese professional books!
Once again, Zhu Xianhai missed Buffett a little bit.
I don’t miss him, but I miss the group of priests he brought over from the Southern Baptist Church in the United States. The priests may preach, but they understand Chinese, can teach English, and can assist Nanhua in translating European and American engineering technology and other books.
!
Without those books, even if Zhu Xianhai was exhausted, he would not be able to translate all the technical books from Britain, the United States and other countries into Chinese!
All beginnings are hard!
Zhu Xianhai found it really difficult!
What is the most difficult thing about starting a business in this day and age?
There is a serious shortage of talents, and there are not many useful talents. If you want to learn Western science, someone must translate Western books into Chinese!
Where can I find such a translation?
Without translation, people would even have to learn English first and then learn engineering. What a waste of time. How can we waste so much time?
With this calculation in his mind, Zhu Xianhai's brows knitted together.
Where else can we get translators besides American missionaries?
What about bringing in some people from China?
This is not impossible. The question is, are they willing to come? Moreover, there was a serious shortage of translators proficient in English in the late Qing Dynasty!
It’s a bit difficult!
Suddenly, Zhu Xianhai's eyes lit up,
"Yes!"
