() I missed a chapter earlier, I just found it out, and I’m going to add it now. But how do I adjust the order of this chapter? I’m not very good at it yet, so please forgive me...
He couldn't build roads, he couldn't help with prospecting, and he had to wait to dig coal. Liu Fu had no choice but to settle down and become a professional teacher first. As soon as he mentioned teachers, Liu Fu hurriedly sent a telegram to Guangzhou, not only to dig coal.
We also need to hire a few Western teachers. They don’t need to be highly educated, as long as they can teach children.
A few days after the telegram was sent, the first batch of technical talents arrived at Tamsui Pier: three American foreign teachers, Tom, Mindy and Jack. These three people came to China from the United States to prospect for gold, but they failed to inquire about the market in China.
No one cares about the more than 100 sewing machines I brought. They are piled up in the warehouse. Not only can I not sell them, but they also cost rent. If the goods cannot be sold, I have to spend money on rent, food, drink, and accommodation. My pockets are about to be empty.
, three American entrepreneurs who were worried saw the recruitment advertisement posted by "Golden Elephant Pharmacy". The salary in the advertisement was very attractive, so the three of them applied for the job together and came to the island of Taiwan.
Hearing that the three of them were college graduates, Liu Fu was very happy. He immediately decided to hire them and decided to conditionally buy their sewing machines at the market price. The condition was that they had taught in Taiwan for three years. The three Americans did not say anything.
, signed the contract immediately, and being a primary school teacher for three years was nothing. The money earned from selling sewing machines at market prices was much higher than the salary from teaching.
Since it was the first time for the three of them to come to China, they would definitely not be able to speak Chinese well. Liu Fu hired two translators from Guangzhou to translate for the children during class and to help the three teachers learn Chinese after class. Liu Fu assigned the assignment to the three of them.
After the course, one person taught mathematics and physics, another taught geography English, and another taught chemistry and physical education. They couldn't teach history, and Liu Fu couldn't teach it. Liu Fu planned to wait until the children were older to brainwash them thoroughly.
After one o'clock, we will find a Chinese to teach him. Liu Dagui will be freed to just do brainwashing professionally.
The three Americans were very enthusiastic about their new jobs. After arranging food and accommodation in the courtyard, they began to write teaching materials. They had no objections to Liu Fu's prescribed courses. Instead, they praised the school's health regulations and food standards.
For those more than 100 pedal sewing machines, Liu Fu planned to set up a quilt factory. The parents of the children who happened to buy them were idle. He built another yard next to the school, bought some cotton cloth, and hired two tailors to take them to practice. First, he had to
What I made was the school uniform.
The look of the school uniform is Liu Fu's idea, and several tailors completed the final design according to the creativity. The school uniform is divided into two sets, winter clothes, four parts: top, pants, underwear, and hat. The top is a small double-breasted jacket, a bit like a mandarin; the pants are ordinary suits.
The style of trousers is completely reduced according to Liu Fu's own trousers; the underwear is boxer briefs; the hat is based on the shape of a baseball cap; the color and texture are green foreign cloth, that is, black cloth; as for the shoes, they cannot be produced by themselves yet.
, I can only make do with cloth shoes. I only have 3 summer clothes, a short-sleeved white cloth top, black cloth shorts and white cloth boxer briefs.
In addition to clothes, the quilt factory also makes sheets and quilts, all of which are supplied to schools. Anyway, it is very slow for the families of these illiterate students to figure out how to use sewing machines. These products customized by the school should be used as training for them, Liu
Fu didn't expect the factory to make money.
With the foreign teachers, Liu Fu is no longer lonely. When he has nothing to do, he can go to school to play football with them and chat, and learn about the current situation in the United States. As the contact deepens, these three American young people feel that Liu Fu
He doesn't look like the governor's son at all. He looks like a world traveler, and he is very well educated. He seems to have seen many things before, and many of his insights are suddenly enlightened even for those who have gone to college. Moreover, he does not look like the governor's son.
This governor-general did not have the airs of those officials in the Qing Dynasty. He was very easy-going and avant-garde. He often came up with some new things that no one had seen before. Gradually, the relationship between employer and employee developed into that of ordinary friends. When Liu Fu once
After I unintentionally took out some relatively conservative pictures of beauties and were seen by three people, the relationship between ordinary friends began to develop into that of idols.
I sleep until I wake up naturally every day, eat whatever I want, go fishing and play football in my free time, check the quality of teaching, care about the students' lives and brainwashing progress, and then collect money, spend money, and count money.
Voting, keeping accounts, listening to various work reports, all work directions under the guidance of five people and six people, this is simply heaven. If he can continue to live like this, Liu Fu doesn't want to engage in any industry anymore.
, Military, but although he didn't know the specific year, Liu Fu knew in his heart that the good days were just a few years away, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 was not far away, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and Taiwan was occupied by Japan.
By then, Japan will definitely not be as indifferent to him as his cheap father. Not to mention pills, coal mines and gold mines, it is also a question whether he can escape in his own fishing boat. Whenever I think of this, I feel paralyzed.
Liu Fu, who lives in a paradise, has nightmares one after another. It seems that eating and waiting for death is a technical job that is difficult and requires good character.
Complaints are complaints, and the preparations that need to be done still have to be done. Liu Fu has no intention of changing the course of history by himself, at least not now. It would be great to be able to protect his own interests in the violent flow of history. But if you want to
To maintain a good life, one must have certain economic and military strength. Relying on one's character is unreliable, not to mention that one's own character is not very high.
How to improve one's economic and military strength is a big problem and very time-consuming. Assuming that David can successfully implement the plan in Europe, then next year, the equipment Liu Fu needs will be continuously shipped to Taiwan
, these equipments are the foundation of the steel plants, oil refineries, machinery plants, power plants, shipyards, and chemical plants that Liu Fu plans to open. Without these things, weapons cannot be manufactured and there is no way to protect oneself.
Just when Liu Fu was in a state of constant panic and complications, in September 1886, Mr. David Warburg finally received a telegram from Europe. The telegram was forwarded to Liu Fu by Liu Mingchuan, and it contained only one line of English.
Text: Perfect medicine, plan went smoothly, take good care of my son, David.
After reading the telegram over and over again, Liu Fu almost cursed him out of Beijing in front of his father, "You have perfected the medicine. You must have made a lot of money, so I can't give you more details. There are 17 words in total, and there are three damn things."
One of them is about your son. If there was no plan to carry out this bottom line smoothly, Liu Fu would definitely have Liu Fu's daughter-in-law cut off food for that little David, so that Y would be perfect.
I'm angry, but the future is still good. At least David still needs his son. He didn't run away with Liu Fu's medicine. People must be content. In today's society, let alone a son with a bigger fart.
Even if there is an 80-year-old mother and a newborn baby boy and girl, it is estimated that more than half of the people will recognize money but not people.
As the saying goes, double happiness comes at home. As soon as David's telegram finished reporting the good news from Europe, two more good things came to his door. First, there were three teams of people who came back from gold prospecting, and one team was in Jinguashi (
There was no such name at that time. It was called Wuhaoliao because there were only 5 shacks in that village. A gold vein was discovered nearby. The vein was very large and the fellow prospectors did not know the specific reserves. Another pair of people were not far from Jinguashi.
A mixed gold and silver vein was also discovered in the Jiufen area of Jiangsu Province. The reserves are not small and the taste is very high. The third team did not find a large gold vein, but discovered a copper vein next to the Jinguashi gold vein.
, accompanied by a small amount of gold and silver.
Liu Feile couldn't close his mouth, and immediately gave out bonuses, 200 taels per person. The work was not finished yet, and another telegram was sent from Guangzhou, saying that the coal miners were also found. They were a family of four, and their ancestors had been operating in Henan.
The coal mine, because of the jealousy of the government, colluded with the mine's partners and was accused of one crime, and the whole family went bankrupt. The family could no longer survive in their hometown, so they quickly packed up their belongings and ran away. On the way, my father was angry and frightened.
, I got sick, spent a lot of money, but couldn't cure it, and my condition became worse and worse. I heard that there was a magic medicine in Guangzhou that could save people's lives, so my two sons and one daughter-in-law came here with their father.
It's a pity that God is a hungry and blind bird. His luggage was stolen as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou, and all the life-saving money he had spent on medicine was gone. The two sons had nothing to do, so they knelt in front of the pharmacy with their father on their backs, planning to beg for help.
The cabinet installer saved his father's life. Before he could cry, the second son saw the recruitment notice posted on the door of the pharmacy. After reading it carefully, he jumped into action without begging.
I went directly to the shopkeeper, explained the situation, and applied for the job. However, there was a condition: his father would take medicine first. After his condition improved, the family of four immediately left for Taiwan.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to make the decision, so he quickly sent a telegram to ask for permission. Liu Fu took a look at it, approved it, and called back to Guangzhou Pharmacy: You can take as much medicine as you want. Come to Taiwan as soon as possible. The coal mines here are waiting for them to open.
