Chapter 30 Zhang Yuan

Among the teachers who returned home for the Chinese New Year, Cai Yuanpei was the first to return to Shanghai. He came back the day before the Lantern Festival and came to Ruyi to find Yang Rui at noon that day. The old friend was very happy to return, but while curious, Yang Rui still asked: "Brother Jimin, you came out before the Lantern Festival. Are you not angry?"

Cai Yuanpei smiled and said, "Haha, I'm still concerned about my private affairs. Your sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, no more than an ordinary woman." After saying that, she smiled even more.

Yang Rui looked at his satisfied look and seemed to be very happy. No wonder he looked full of energy. Thinking of himself alone and having New Year's Eve dinner with a fruit vendor during the New Year, there was nothing to do and not even talk to. It was so miserable that he shook his head.

Seeing Yang Rui's situation, Cai Yuanpei immediately guessed what was going on and said, "It's really true. It's too lonely to celebrate the New Year alone. It's time to find a woman to settle down. Alas, you can't be stuck in the room every day. You have to go out and walk around more, otherwise you can find the woman you like." Cai Yuanpei was concerned and persuaded by his friend. He was a modern person who advocated a love affair and an independent marriage.

But Yang Rui was a otakus and wanted to find someone he liked, hoping that he would be able to meet someone inexplicably that day, just like the kind that hoped that the world would fall into the pot. Yang Rui didn't know how to explain this idea to him, so he simply changed the topic: "Brother Jimin, you came here so early, what big plans do you have this year?"

Cai Yuanpei was immediately asked to another idea. He thought about this issue for a long time. He was about to speak up and said, "Last year, the establishment of the China Education Association and the hasty patriotic society was established. The reason why it was successful was because you all worked together. At the beginning of this new year, I think the patriotic society should expand its influence and promote the idea of ​​democracy and freedom. The last time there was a enthusiastic person named Xu Jingwu. He said that he could help us contact the senior meeting hall in Zhangyuan to give us a speech." Cai Yuanpei was a little excited, his eyes shining, "If we can go there to speak, we can speak freely in front of many citizens and promote democracy..."

Looking at Cai Yuanpei's talking, Yang Rui sighed in his heart, "Brother, I haven't seen that country have real democracy in a hundred years. You are now democratic and free, but it's not good that he interrupts his interest when he is excited, so he waits for his speech in silence. After a while, he finally finished speaking. Tang Seng finally stopped chanting scriptures, thank God."

Cai Yuanpei excitedly pulled Yang Rui's arm and said, "It's true. If our school society wants to be knowledgeable, it means you and Uncle Mei. If you want to make a good start, you must go on stage to give a speech. If you speak well, our school society will become famous in Shanghai."

Dizzy! I thought this guy came over to Shanghai because of his friend's righteousness. Who knew that he was asking me to give a free speech to sponsor it. It was really a matter of no reason. Yang Rui muttered to himself, but as a member of the school teacher, this matter was really unstoppable. He had to agree.

Cai Yuanpei was even more happy to see Yang Rui agreeing. At this time, he felt hungry and took Yang Rui to the alley for dinner. During the meal, he said casually that all the teachers will come back on the 16th and 17th, and classes will start next week, and the number of students will increase again this semester. Hearing the increase in students, Yang Rui couldn't help but think of the dark classroom and said, "The classroom is too small, and if this continues, it will be filled."

Cai Yuanpei knew that Yang Rui's economics class was very popular among students. Every time the classroom was full of people, he smiled and said, "We will change you to another classroom this year, so you can rest assured. By the way, I have another thing to worry about, so I became a brother."

Yang Rui knew that nothing good was wrong when he heard his tone. He said weakly: "Brother, please spare me. I'm only a few pounds. Alright, let me go. I have a seventy-year-old mother in my house..."

Yang Rui was interrupted by him while he was in his back, and he said, "It's really a good thing to be a brother. Nanyang Public School has a new business class this year, and there is a shortage of business teachers. Zhang Yuanji, the former general manager over there, is my friend. I heard that you are giving a lecture here, so I have to invite you to give a lecture at Nanyang Public School. It's true, you can go and help. Anyway, teaching one class is also a teaching, and teaching two classes is also a teaching."

When Yang Rui heard that he was going to Nanyang Public School, he thought that it would take one or two hours to go to Xujiahui in later generations. Besides, his factory was only open, and there were so many things to do. In addition, he had to copy books, so he didn't have time to give lectures there. He quickly refused: "Brother Jimin, I want to use it for two days now. I have to write books here. Alas, there are too many things, and it will be messy. I really don't have time and energy. If I can slow down for a year and everything is on track, then I'll say it if there is too much time."

Yang Rui acted like hundreds of thousands of dollars a second, and Cai Yuanpei had no choice. After all, he had heard of what Yang Rui did. He sighed: "You are the one who abandoned many students and ignored them. There is no one who teaches business. Finally, there is one that is still a plague of secular affairs."

After hearing this, Yang Rui could only defend himself: "Brother Jimin, I write books now for many students. There are currently no textbooks in domestic business schools. How many classes can I take alone? There are only a few hundred students in all the time. The best way is to write them out for everyone to read. Do you think so?"

Cai Yuanpei thought about it, so he stopped talking, and just thought about how to reject Zhang Yuanji. After lunch, the two of them parted. Cai Yuanpei continued to prepare for the speech four days later to attract the audience, while Yang Rui returned to the pavilion to continue copying books. As for what to say that day, he was not sure about what he thought of, so he would say whatever he thought of.

The next morning, Yu Huizu and Zhong Guanguang and others came back. In the morning, everyone discussed what to do in the future at the Instrument Hall. The materials were already ready on the Luxing side. The day before yesterday, the workers were already building the dock. The bamboo shed had no high requirements for the foundation. Just dig a hole and land it with three-mix soil to make the foundation. Now that everyone is back, someone has to go there to see if there are any unexpected problems. The most important thing is to solve the problem on the spot. In addition, the suppliers should contact each other again, the raw materials must meet the requirements and arrive in time, and the price during the period must be negotiated. It is best to sign a document - although there are generally no supply contracts at this time, there are still documents more reliable to avoid being fussy at that time.

There is also the matter of buying land. The documents are shown to everyone. The land price is very cheap and there is no objection. I can send a letter to Mr. Zhu tomorrow and ask him to get the 2,000 yuan in the early stage. Yu Huizu was worried about the Feng Shui of the place. He knew that Yang Rui didn't believe in this set and had never invited the Feng Shui master to see it. Yang Rui didn't care about Feng Shui or Feng Shui. The place was originally a petrochemical factory, and it would be the most suitable to build it there. If you choose another one, it would be even further away. At that time, the workers were even more reluctant to go there, and it would be even more troublesome to run around. And the more they went out, the more dangerous it became. As for equipment handling, it would still be necessary to wait for someone to clean the dredging when it was hot to completely solve the problem. This time, the barges that were slightly higher than the dock were used for short bucks. As for the barges to dock and unload goods, they could only find a way when the tide was high.

Next is the Japan Osaka Expo next month. I signed up for the ship last year and will board the ship tomorrow. Samples, promotional materials, and negotiation strategies must be prepared. This time, Yu Zixun went to the exhibition, so he went in the name of a registered Japanese company. At the exhibition, he first excavated a group of interested agents, and waited for the factory to produce, and then made an appointment to go to Shanghai to select suitable manufacturers from the middle. If you contact the newspaper more, the story of the village girl will be adapted into a Japanese version and then published. When Yang Rui was about to adapt the garbage story into a Japanese version to make the Japanese, everyone laughed.

After laughing, Yang Rui asked if the myth was done. Yu Huizu smiled bitterly and said, "It's done, the matter was done according to your requirements, but you are even more uncomfortable than killing me. When I went to look for flowers and willows during the Chinese New Year, everyone looked at me very despised. Now I am notorious in the village."

Yang Rui comforted him and said, "Don't worry, Brother Hanzhang, as long as the legendary story of MSG is put into the newspaper, you will be innocent. I will keep you whiter than white paper. Don't think so much now. Don't you often say the clear ones to clear yourself."

Yu Huizu was still frowning after hearing this. Zhong Guanguang and Yu Zixun couldn't help laughing. Yu Zixun said, "It's true, you don't know yet. Now that the girl's family wants Brother Hanzhang to marry that girl as a concubine. He said that this girl's reputation has been ruined by him and she can't get married anymore. It's all your bad idea."

Yang Rui was shocked and thought that Yu Huizu had done something that should not have done, but when he thought that the words between men and women in this society were all the best defenses between men and women, it was probably Yu Huizu who said something alone, and Yu Huizu still looked rich and noble. He wanted to marry his daughter to enjoy the happiness. Seeing that his idea had made others slut out, he looked at Yu Huizu's bitter face. Yang Rui, who had caused trouble, hurriedly said that he had something to do in the afternoon and slipped away in advance.

On the 17th day of the first lunar month, Qian Bocong also came back. Not only him, but also with several classmates. Yang Rui hadn't seen them for a long time. Now he has seen each other again for a New Year, but they have changed. They wear new clothes and hats, eat better at home, and look better than in school. He was happy and pulled them to have dinner at the restaurant where they often went to the alley. During the conversation, everyone couldn't help but talk about Zhang Yuan's speech tomorrow. In fact, Zhang Yuan is still very familiar to the students of the Patriotic Society. When they dropped out of school last year, everyone went directly to Zhang Yuan's photo studio to take photos as a souvenir. But they hadn't been there to give a speech, and several people were very excited.

Zhang Yuan and Yang Rui have never been to Zhang Yuan, but they are still very famous in Shanghai. It is said that a Chinese businessman named Zhang bought it from a foreign company. After years of construction, there are all kinds of entertainment facilities such as amusement parks, stadiums, magic, stages, photo studios, teahouses, etc. As the saying goes, tea that tastes mellow during the day, everyone likes to go there when they are bored. This place seems to be the Bund of later generations. Of course, there is no conference hall on the Bund. Yang Rui has only heard of it, but he has never been there. He is indifferent and is even more boring to the entertainment of this era. I didn't expect to go tomorrow, which is really a headache.

The students consciously helped organize and correct the manuscript. Yang Rui originally wanted to try whether they wrote quickly or not, but they saw that they were all using brushes. I thought that this thing was not easy to write, so I had to give up and take advantage of my spare time to think about the content of tomorrow's speech. This is something that needs to be considered. The lecture is too academic and everyone can't understand it. The popular ones are nothing more than the Manchu revolution. I agree with these, but now it is only 1903. If the Qing Dynasty was arrested, it will be peeled off even if it is not dead. Now it is better to be cautious at this time. He doesn't want to go to the countryside to carry out land reform in 1906 like a fantasy novel.

After thinking for a long time while closing his eyes, he didn't expect any good topics. He asked Qian Bocong, "Bocong, Mr. Cai insisted that I would go on stage to give a speech tomorrow, but I haven't even thought about what to say tomorrow?"

Qian Bocong could not have thought that Yang Rui would ask this question, and after thinking about it, he would say, "Aren't you familiar with all the countries in the west? I will tell us where they are better than us than us. I remember that last time my husband said that in the previous Ming Dynasty, they were not as good as us."

After hearing this, Yang Rui nodded, thinking that this was indeed a topic that could capture the hearts of the people. Now China knows that it is not as good as foreigners. Foreigners are good at everything, and China is bad at everything. I will talk about this tomorrow. Now I have begun to ponder the content of tomorrow's speech.
Chapter completed!
