On Sunday morning, Yang Rui went to Rutte's apartment early in the morning and picked him up for a trip. He had not met everyone since last December. Except for last Christmas when Yang Rui asked someone to come to the door to deliver gifts, he had no contact. Everyone was very happy to meet again. Rutte's rattle laughter kept coming, and he also wanted to see what the new toy looked like. In addition to him, there was a German man who seemed to be his servant or servant, and Yang Rui didn't care about this.

Soon the group arrived at the factory, and the workers followed the steps. In fact, yesterday morning, I added gluten and concentrated hydrochloric acid to the reaction tank and started heating the reaction. At night, the reaction liquid was filtered through the pipe and began to distillate and crystallize under reduced pressure. Glutamate hydrochloride had been precipitated in the morning. Now the glutamate crystals were precipitated in the jar. After the glutamate came out, water was added to dissolve and neutralize it with alkali. Filter and decolorize and reduce pressure to concentrate it into MSG.

Originally, it could be all precipitated at noon, but the reaction time was insufficient, so it was estimated that it would be delayed for two or three hours. Rutt was very happy to see these devices. He touched them with one hand while raising his thumb and said proudly to everyone: "Denissi, Denissi". Zhong Guangui asked him what he was talking about, and Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said: "He means that German goods are the best."

After walking around the workshop, Rutt expressed satisfaction and said, "Although it is very simple, it is a factory with strict management. How did you think of putting the same clothes on the workers?"

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Unified clothing will make people look more energetic, and workers will recognize factories more and regard themselves as members of the factory rather than temporary workers who come in casually. They will have a better sense of responsibility."

Yang Rui talked about common sense in later generations, but it was not in this era. After hearing this, Rutt agreed and said, "Yes, this is like an army." He asked again, "How does this whole set of equipment feel like using it?"

Yang Rui knew what he wanted to hear and replied with a smile: "It's very good, German goods are the best, sir."

Rutt laughed loudly after hearing this. Although he didn't know the words of Chinese flattery, he knew the meaning. After laughing, he said, "Yang, you are dishonest. As a chemist, you should be a very honest person."

Yang Rui disregarded his accusations and retorted: "Mr. Rutte, I only use German equipment now, all of which are brand new, so I feel very good, I'm not wrong with everything."

Rutt actually knew that Yang Rui was joking and would not continue to talk about this topic at the moment. Several people came to the office. He asked Yang Rui for the production record and started to read it. He carefully observed the glutamate hydrochloride crystals precipitated in the morning. He was used to Yang Rui and others calculating the reaction quality with molar. He lowered his head and calculated it seriously. Yang Rui did not disturb him. He only talked to Zhong Guanguan to another room and placed yesterday's production record. After reading the production record, the gluten hydrochloride was completely decomposed after five hours, which was three hours less than the previous test. Perhaps because of the pressure heating, it was very troublesome to precipitate glutamate hydrochloride, especially the concentration of crystallization was more time-consuming, but the time was within the previous calculation.

Not long after sitting in the office, sodium glutamate crystals were sent in. The finished product was basically the same as the ones made in the laboratory. They were snow-white and clear. I liked it very much. I tasted it again and there was no difference. Yu Huizu couldn't even open his eyes when he smiled. From the beginning to the real mass production of MSG, he had been looking forward to today for a long time. In order to commemorate today, he specially invited a photographer. He had just taken photos for the workers. Now he was coming in and pulling Yang Rui and a few more out to take photos together. Yang Rui also called Rutte and his entourage, and everyone took a photo in the open space outside the workshop.

That night there was a celebration banquet. Yang Rui refused, but only entrusted Yu Huizu to host the ceremony. After he sent Rutte back to the concession, he found a Western restaurant to treat him to a meal. The Western restaurant was opened by a British person, so the taste of the dishes was British. This was Rutte's statement, but he could accept it. Then he began to nag about the delicious food in his hometown of Bavaria. In Yang Rui's eyes, all Western food was the same. No matter it was from the United States, Britain and Germany, Rutte seemed to see that Yang Rui was not interested in this, so he had to change the topic and asked Yang Rui what he was doing except for factory affairs. Yang Rui was embarrassed to say that he was a writer who could only copy books, and could only say that he was a teacher and was teaching in the same school.

"Oh, are you saying you are a business teacher now?" Rutt was a little surprised that Yang Rui, the chemist, suddenly became a business teacher. He asked again: "Are you teaching university courses?"

The Patriotic Society should be just a college, at best, not a university. Just said, "It's just a college, Sheng Xuanhuai, you should know," seeing Lu Tetou, he said, "Last year, the students of the Nanyang School he ran dropped out of school, and I teach these students who dropped out of school."

Rutt is usually very concerned about the situation in China, and is also very familiar with Sheng Xuanhuai. He knew about the trend of dropping out last year. He said, "Did you say you run a school?"

"No, it's not my job, I just teach in it." Yang Rui explained, "The person who founded it is my friend. In China, it's a good thing to start a school. When I have money, I want to run a school."

Lu Te nodded and asked, "You want to run a school, why?"

"Do you still want to ask why? China has very few talents and is short of all talents." Yang Rui sighed when he remembered the matter of selling books to Japanese people, "When the MSG factory makes money, the process will be very fast. I want to run a real university, just like your German universities. At that time, I will definitely ask you to help find a German university to teach."

Rutt did not agree, but asked, "What do you expect you to make money from running a school? How much money do you think you can run a school?"

Yang Rui thought about it and replied, "100,000 yuan, only about 200,000 marks. If nothing unexpected happens, you should start preparing next year." Seeing Rutt's kind of care, he asked, "Do you want to run a school too?"

"No, not me," Rutt said, "Two hundred thousand marks is far from enough. The school building and daily operation cost a lot of money."

Yang Rui had calculated that he said: "200,000 is just the preparatory funds for the early stage. If you really run a good university, I estimate that the money you will have to spend in the early stage will not be less than one million marks. As for the subsequent daily expenses, it will not be less than two hundred thousand marks, and it may be even more."

"So much?" Rutt was surprised when he heard the number Yang Rui said, "Can your MSG make that much money?"

Yang Ruixin smiled confidently: "I believe that it will be possible, as long as nothing unexpected happens. If I really run a school, you must help me find a German professor."

Lu Te nodded and agreed. He did not believe in the money-making ability of MSG, but Yang Rui really had so much money to run the school, so he was happy to help introduce German professors to come. He smiled and said with a careful word: "If the German government is willing to jointly run a school with you..."

Yang Rui was a little surprised. Didn’t Germany not run a school in China until a few years later? Tongji was built in 1907, so why did you have a plan now? However, it’s nothing to do with the Germans. The school will be managed by the professors in the future, so it’s the same. He said now: “As long as the school’s academic level can be guaranteed to be world-class, nothing else is a problem.”

Rutt agreed with Yang Rui's statement and said, "I will report this matter to the Minister when you have 200,000 marks of start-up capital. He will definitely come forward to negotiate with the German Ministry of Education."

Hearing that he still didn't believe it, Yang Rui muttered to himself, and then he walked to see it. He thought of a few of Zhong's sightseeings; the question of studying abroad can be asked now: "Mr. Rutte, I have a few friends, such as Zhong you have seen. He really hopes to study in Germany and learn chemistry..."

"No problem, but he has to learn German first." Rutt emphasized, "As long as his German can communicate on a daily basis, I can write directly to the University of Berlin to allow them to admit him to the chemistry department."

It seems that the obstacle I face is language. There is no problem with this. When I go back, I let him and Yu Zixun learn German. Yang Rui picked up the wine glass and toasted Rutt to thank him for his help.

The next day, Rutt sent his entourage yesterday to send a document. This was an adjustment plan for the current production plan based on yesterday's production data. In fact, the key is the time use of reaction tanks and crystallization tanks. If arranged well, the output can be increased a lot. According to Rutt's plan, the output can be increased to about four tons per month, and the cost per ton will be about 3,500 yuan. Of course, this does not reduce the income from soy sauce and starch. If this is included, the cost per ton will be about 3,000 yuan.

As soon as Yu Huizu saw this price, he couldn't help asking Yang Rui to cut the price and sell it. The wholesale price is now 8,000 yuan, that is, a 50-gram MSG price is four cents, and the retail price is around six or seven cents. He felt that the whole price was too out of stock. However, Yang Rui knew that although this price was expensive, once the desire to buy in the early stage was high, it would definitely be out of stock. Now the output is the highest, and it has to be supplied to two major markets in China and Japan. It is simply a drop in the bucket. He now wants to notify Germany to order the second batch of equipment, but the purchase of MSG has not yet begun. In addition, the money is his own. If it is taken out for investment in the factory, it will not comply with the rules of the game.

All newspapers will be promoted tomorrow. After the production in the past few days is enough, all places will soon start making tastings. Japan is already in full swing. Yu Zixun's telegram said that the Japanese man he was looking for has been interviewed by many newspapers and was commended by the government, which made him afraid to show up in the exhibition hall. As for negotiations and cooperation, there were more. Several foreigners also discussed the supply issue with him. In the telegram, he strongly demanded that the early goods should be guaranteed to ensure the Japanese market.

Calculate the output, if it is all 50 grams, it will only be 80,000 pieces per month. Don’t say 80,000 in total in China and Japan. There are more than 8 million wealthy families. After seeing the market outage in the previous market, it is inevitable that the newspapers can only make the publicity less vigorously. Just reduce the taste and gifts, and sell them first.

Yang Rui calculated his analysis one by one to Yu Huizu. He had read newspapers and heard the streets and alleys talking about MSG and felt that it was a foregone conclusion. Now, after Yang Rui's analysis, he felt even more anxious. He pulled Yang Rui and asked everyone to raise money to sell three sets of equipment. Yang Rui had no problem with this. He just had tens of thousands of yuan.
