Chapter 13

A month later, on February 18, with five days left before the Spring Festival, Qin Hanxu brought a young Japanese woman into the house.

The person's name is "Huizi". He is slim and beautiful. He is wearing a kimono and has a humble smile on his face. He bows carefully all the way, for fear of being driven out of the house.

Qin Zhaoji and Qin Zhang were stunned and wanted to scold Qin Hanxu, but they couldn't speak.

At this time, Qin Hanxu smiled and said, "Dad, mom, I have an official position now, you have to save me some face."

Qin Zhaoji snorted coldly: "What official have you been? Why don't you scold me?"

"Hehe, I am now the deputy director of the Military Control Commission, stationed in the Magic City and purchasing supplies."

"What kind of official is this?"

"Dad, it's the Republic of China now, and officials are not classified into grades. If they were in the past, they would probably be seventh-rank officials."

"Seventh rank? Well, that's also an official..."

No one in the Qin family is an official. If you meet the seventh-rank county magistrate according to the previous rules, you will have to kneel down. Although it is now the Republic of China, your status as an official is still superior.

More importantly, Qin Zhaoji couldn't bear to blame his son anymore. Since his wife had entered the door, she could only grit her teeth and admit it.

From this day on, a young wife from Japan was added to the Qin family compound.

After several family dinners, Huizi's situation gradually emerged.

Keiko's full name is "Inoue Keiko". She is from Chiba Prefecture, Kanto, Japan. She speaks Chinese. Although she is not fluent, she can communicate. She said that she has Chinese ancestry and her ancestors were Han people from the past Song Dynasty. Her father taught at Chiba University. She graduated from Ueno Business School and met Qin Hanxu by chance, and fell in love with him. This time she followed her to the Magic City and wanted to open a bookstore here, but unfortunately she had not raised enough funds.

Logically speaking, the Qin family's industry also has a share of Qin Hanxu. However, after Qin Hanliang's stock trading, although the stylus mill gradually recovered its vitality, the old man couldn't afford much money at once.

So, the second brother Qin Hancheng straightened his back again and said that he could borrow ten thousand oceans to the third brother.

Huizi was very happy and bowed repeatedly to thank him.

After a period of consideration, under the persuasion of Qin Di and Zhu Wan, Qin Hancheng did not go to the bank to work, but went to the Modu Huashang Exchange and found a seat as an independent broker.

The so-called independent broker is a broker who develops the market and serves his own company.

The Huashang Exchange trades not only stocks, but also futures goods and bonds. For example, cotton can lock the price several months in advance. For example, grain can also be traded in futures. As early as 1848, the Chicago Futures Exchange in the United States. Although the scale of the Huashang Exchange is not that large, it is not so timely that the price is not so timely, but it can communicate information and grasp price changes in a timely manner.

In other words, Qin Hancheng is mainly responsible for locking the trading prices of yarn mills and grains. As for the specific operations, the following managers are responsible for it.

As a result, Qin Zhaoji and Qin Hanliang only focused on producing cotton yarn, and their mood was much more relaxed and they were less worried and anxious.

The manager of the grain store was chosen by Qin Di. The person was named "Zhu Shi". He was Zhu Wan's distant cousin. Although he did not have much education, he had more than ten years of business experience and could trust his character.

In fact, the grain store is not the big deal for making money. The Qin family’s real profit is the pharmaceutical factory.

After two or three years of hard work, Zhu Wan has three pharmaceutical companies under her command, one is called "Caotai Chemical Factory", which specializes in the production of acetic anhydride, citric acid and other raw materials; the other is called "Caotai Pharmaceutical Factory", which specializes in the synthesis of "Tianliang Pieces", which is aspirin; and the other is called "Caotai Pharmaceutical Import and Export Company", which sells dog meat under the guise of sheep and is responsible for distributing drugs. In the future, these three factories can form a large company of "Caotai Pharmaceutical".

In addition, Zhu Wan is in charge of Ci'an Hall and a small medical research institute.

Qin Hanliang knew about the existence of the pharmaceutical factory, but was not sure about the specific circumstances of the account.

He knew that Zhu Wan had made money, but he didn't know how much he made.

At this time, Tianliangpan had been sold to major cities across the country, with monthly income of up to 50,000 silver dollars.

Zhu Wan has long been numb to the money flowing in like a big water.

She is only interested in treating diseases and saving lives, and has no idea about money. She wishes she could lower the price and sell "Tianliangpan" to every patient.

As Qin Di grew up day by day and his voice gradually increased, Zhu Wan began to delegate power and handed over the operation of the pharmaceutical factory to him.

She hired two bodyguards for her son and let him do whatever he wanted.

She didn't know that over the years, her son had been practicing hard and his body had undergone qualitative changes.

Qin Di's true energy was gradually increasing. He gathered on his fist and could smash pebbles with one punch and spread under his skin. It was like a golden bell cover iron cloth shirt. If he fought with someone, more than a dozen big men would be unable to get close to him.

However, he never showed his skills because he felt that his level was too low.

On February 12, 1912, Empress Dowager Yulong issued the "Edict of the Abdication of Emperor Qing Emperor" in place of Emperor Puyi, granting Yuan Shikai full authority to form a temporary government. On March 10, Yuan Shikai officially became the interim president in Shangjing. The Senate moved to Shangjing. In May, the Provisional Senate resolution was made that the Congress adopted a two-house system, divided into the Senate and the House of Representatives.

At this time, Qin Di was still free and did not go to school. He focused on the medical research institute.

The institute hired five people, two chemists, one physiologist, one pathologist, and one bacterologist, plus doctor Zhu Wan, and Qin Di himself, a total of seven people.

Physiologists and pathologists also have full-time jobs, professors at St. John's University and come to the institute only in their spare time.

In other words, there are only three main researchers in the institute, namely Huang Renmao, Zhang Qianlun and Hong Shibao. They are all young people and college students trained in China, and have never stayed abroad. Anyone who has stayed abroad will be arrogant and will not work in this small institute.

Qin Di signed a five-year agreement with them, with a monthly salary of 150 in the first year, which will increase by 10% every year from now on, but there is no right to sign the research results.

The three of them were overjoyed and agreed happily, because this was a very high salary, and if they were transferred elsewhere, they would not even get half of it.

You know, the average salary this year is very low. In 1912, Lu Xun returned from Japan and his monthly salary was only 30 yuan! He has been abroad!

As for the fact that you cannot sign, it doesn’t matter!

Although it is very hard to do research, who can guarantee that results will be produced within three to five years?

It is not easy to come up with results! This is in the backward old China, poor and white, with dark eyes, food and clothing are both problems, lack of scientific research literature, and cannot find information. It is difficult to follow new technologies abroad. How can you dare to talk about innovation?

So, for these researchers, this small research institute is very doubtful, and it may be closed after one or two years of success!

Someone thought to himself: "If you close it, just close it! I signed a contract that I don't sign! As long as I work here for a year and earn 1,800 yuan, I should be satisfied!"
