2595 The upcoming secret contract
Xiao Letian's foundation is the largest intelligence agency of the Chinese in Europe. In recent years, more than one-third of the foundation's funds have been spent on poaching talents and stealing technology.
At present, more than 300 teachers from Europe are teaching in Ryukyu universities, which are the results of the foundation's efforts over the past few years.
As for the smuggling of money through spies, there are countless technologies that have been stolen.
But the fun on the surface is meaningless. Xiao Letian is very clear about where the current difficulties lie, that is, the recruitment of top talents is still a problem.
At the end of the 19th century, China's halo had been completely torn apart by Britain and France. Under widespread propaganda, China was no longer a golden country of civilization, but became synonymous with barbarism and backwardness.
At this time, Europeans had already developed a psychological advantage of superiors. Under this arrogant mood, no one in real scientists paid attention to the olive branch of the Chinese.
The teachers who are teaching in Ryukyu are actually only at the level of high school teachers, and it is really not good to be a university professor.
Intellectuals are generally very arrogant, and it is useless to deal with them with money alone. If you want to solve this problem, you can only find another way.
Xiao Letian has been thinking about the plan to set up a university town in Europe for a long time, but today he took this opportunity and suddenly had an idea. Can he transform the beautiful Alps into a university town?
Dozens or even hundreds of universities or colleges gather together to form a city, a special city without industrial pollution and no need for agricultural maintenance.
You should know that science needs to touch each other, and a smart brain needs to communicate frequently to make some sparks burst out.
The most beautiful scenic spot, the highest salary and the highest courtesy... I believe it will definitely attract strange people and strange things in Europe.
On the surface, the university town is managed by Europeans, but in fact, the land and funds are controlled by Xiao Letian. This not only saves the face of Europeans, satisfies their vanity, but also secretly obtains all research results.
Humans are adaptive animals. At the beginning, they may have been resistant to the Chinese people, but after working with Chinese scientific researchers in the university town, I believe that some scientists will definitely change their ideas.
This group of predecessor scholars will definitely promote scientific and technological exchanges between the East and the West, and can even hire batches of senior professors from here to teach in the East.
In this way, the university town has become a springboard for absorbing European talents!
Another very important point is that graduates! Xiao Letian is not a stingy person. Graduates in the university town must be limited to the Chinese.
European companies want talents? I'm sorry, let's wait until we pick the rest first!
Xiao Letian even initiates the commissioned training system, and I will spend money to send the children of poor families to college to study, and the foundation will pay for all the expenses.
The only condition is that after graduation, they have to work in the Chinese. Anyway, European capitalists are all a group of vampires, and sooner or later they will have to cause an economic crisis.
In this era, there are no kind-hearted capitalists who are willing to take care of the issue of poor children in their country going to school. Once Xiao Letian promotes the commissioned training system, he believes that a large number of extremely poor students will benefit.
Thinking of this, Xiao Letian suddenly remembered a famous name in later generations, that is, Tras, the inventor of alternating current, which seemed to be a poor child in the Balkans, and he also passed away from poverty in later generations.
If such talents can be funded and brought to the Chinese, it is conceivable that the Chinese will definitely be at the forefront of power applications in the Second Industrial Revolution.
The three conditions Xiao Letian proposed to Prince Liutpod are actually only one direction, that is technology!
Originally, Bavaria was a country with strong scientific and technological power in the German Federation. There were more universities here than Prussia, and the industrial level was no worse than Prussia.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that if the foundation here is so poor, there will be no excellent companies like BMW, Audi, etc.
Moreover, during World War II, Bavaria was the most important high-tech product production base in the German Empire, especially the aircraft manufacturing industry.
If such an industry can be formed, it shows how powerful their private scientific research power is.
As long as Prince Liutpod agrees to Xiao Letian's three conditions, his interests will be immeasurable. All existing drawings in Bavaria's arsenal can be copied to the Chinese.
Many technical problems that plague Chinese engineers are solved easily! This can basically improve the Chinese's scientific and technological level for ten years.
The price paid for all this is only that Xiao Letian turns a blind eye and ignores the coup in Bavaria. As long as Xiao Letian can watch Ludwig II die quietly, the deal will be done.
When the topic is discussed here, the prince has nothing to hesitate. Since Xiao Letian has already figured out how to give the Bavarian people an excuse, as long as he can deceive the people, isn’t it just a little technology and land? Is it possible to give Xiao Letian, anyway, they don’t want sovereignty.
Just as the two were about to shake hands to reach this sinister deal, a black carriage suddenly rushed out of the platform outside the carriage. The royal badge of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was actually hung on the door. The soldiers at the station did not dare to stop it, and the carriage rushed directly to the platform.
Xiao Letian and the Prince were stunned, looked at each other and said in unison, "Princess Sissi? Why is he here!"
The princess walked out of the carriage. Under the protection of Austro-Hungarian military officers, the princess stepped onto the train angrily.
"Xiao Letian, you are indeed here! You answered me... How did you promise me when you parted?"
"You said that you would not hide anything that involves my brother's negotiations from me, so why did I wait for you in the city for several days but you didn't come to see me?"
"Now tell me why you are talking to the prince alone, what are you talking about? Why should you avoid my brother!"
Xiao Letian was a little embarrassed by his scolding. He said embarrassedly, "It's not actually a secret conversation, but some things need to be clarified..."
"Clarify it? Why not clarify it publicly? I'm asking you now, have the person who leaked the news found?"
Prince Liutpod glanced at the princess and then at Xiao Letian, and said with a strange expression, "Well... the person who leaked the news has admitted it himself... the king has admitted it..."
"Nonsense!" Princess Sissi growled in anger, "Your Highness, you can deceive others but you can't deceive me! They are all family members, don't I understand you yet?"
"Do you know what kind of character your Majesty is? I believe that he is rude to the Head of State, but he is going to assassinate? God is above, do you think I will believe?"
