Bulgarian Empire
Chapter 15: Buy, buy, buy, dig, dig, dig
Combining the actual situation in Bulgaria, Ferdinand made some cuts after a rational analysis, and successfully completed the slimming of the large-scale industrial plan that the Ministry of Industry was working on.
The procurement funds that originally required 6 million pounds were successfully discounted in half. Even so, the finances of the Bulgarian government are still not complete now!
Industrial equipment is not only purchased, but also has to build factories and recruit manpower. These expenses are not small sums!
According to Ferdinand's estimation, if it is an ordinary engineer, it is a time of economic crisis, and there are a lot of them.
But if you are a senior engineer, even in the economic crisis, people can live on. Britain and France have a strong foundation and are supported by colonies. There are not a few large enterprises with strong strength. These large enterprises do not mind accepting a few high-tech talents now!
To poach people, you have to go to several small countries, such as Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries. Although the overall industry is not as good as the big powers, there are still some high-tech talents!
The number of their domestic enterprises is much smaller, and their strength is not so strong. In the economic crisis, most of them are overwhelmed, and naturally they do not have the strength to spend a lot of money to retain talents!
As a result, language is another problem. Almost every engineer must be accompanied by a translator. It is estimated that these translators must be hired outside. Bulgaria does not have so many foreign language talents. Thinking about Ferdinand, I feel terrible!
He also had to be thankful that Russian could be spoken in Bulgarian, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to get so many translations together!
There is always a price to pay for going fast!
As a last resort, Ferdinand, an ordinary engineer, can only give priority to poaching the corners of the Russians, at least he doesn't have to worry about language problems!
As for the senior engineers and designers, Ferdinand said that he is not picky, they can be from any country. Isn't it just a translation? It's a small problem, as long as you can dig it up, everything is easy to talk about!
The courage to poach Ferdinand this time is much stronger. As long as it is a scientific researcher, no matter whether it is physics, chemical industry or biometallurgy, he will not refuse anyone!
Don't have a lab? It doesn't matter, what you need, we will get it for you right away! No funds? The Bulgarian government allocates money for you! treatment? It's easy to negotiate, luxury houses, beauties, famous cars, and banknotes are not a problem!
The premise is that your ability is strong enough!
It is obvious that Ferdinand's purpose is to recruit down-and-out scientists, or young researchers who have not yet become famous but are eager to get ahead!
Like those who have achieved success and fame, they don't lack these things, and Bulgaria can't come up with a bargaining chip that makes them tempted!
Just like Nikola Tesla, the most outstanding scientist at the beginning of the 20th century, it’s awesome, but it’s a pity that Ferdinand became famous as soon as he passed through others. He was a world-renowned scientist ten years ago. Not to mention soliciting, even kidnapping is not enough?
Fortunately, although Nikola Tesla is awesome enough, Bulgaria can still directly use his scientific research results.
As for the special train fee? The amount of multinational patent fees in this era depends on the mood of the user, and the worst case is to file a lawsuit!
Ferdinand said that in Bulgaria, he would not hesitate to sue anyone!
Don't blame him for being greedy. This is the way it is in this era. Almost all multinational patent fees are not paid a few bucks.
Even the department store created by Ferdinand has been patented. More than ten years have passed, and the patent fee he received is less than 100,000 pounds.
In the European region, everyone more or less gave a little bit to make sense of it. As for Ferdinand in the American continent, he said that he didn't know what the patent fee looked like?
In addition to this great master, Ferdinand set his sights on another great master in the scientific world-Albert Einstein.
In August 1900, the 21-year-old Einstein graduated from the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich; in December he completed the thesis Inferences from Capillary Phenomena, and was listed in the Leipzig Journal of Physics in the following year and became a Swiss citizen.
young man,
Ferdinand thinks it's easy to fool around. A fresh graduate from school is very likely to be poached by asking a high price.
The only trouble is, he seems to be part of an extreme anti-war group. Before World War I, he was director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Physics in Berlin and a professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin, and was elected a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences.
But he still joined the anti-war group, and signed the famous anti-war declaration-Letter to the Europeans, which was regarded as a hindrance to Germany in World War I!
But in Ferdinand's view, these are minor problems, as long as they arrive in Bulgaria, these things will not happen.
Birds of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. Even if there is a similar declaration in Bulgaria, it is impossible to publish it. The Information Bureau is still very deterrent!
Starting in three years, the maximum death penalty! This is the Bulgarian Press Law, and everyone must be responsible for their words and deeds!
Since the establishment of the Information Administration, the number of closed newspapers due to false advertisements has been three figures, and the number of editors and capitalists who have been imprisoned is no less than four figures. There are still people fighting in the road construction army.
As for political news, let alone that stuff, you have to be more cautious. Those who dare to go against the government have long since ceased to exist!
Of course, some news is also allowed, such as seeking high-ranking officials for corruption and accepting bribes, and celebrities who have lost their personal morals can be exposed at will. This is also a tradition in Bulgaria to fight corruption.
Ferdinand firmly believed that if one slap is not enough, even if there are one or two thought jumpers, under the background of the whole society, they can only complain a few words at most, and there will be no big troubles.
In addition to this, Ferdinand also set his sights on the famous Curie and his wife in later generations, and they are in a state of despair at the moment.
In order to study radium, they have neither experimental equipment nor funds to purchase research materials, and they are worrying!
And they are still living in a leaky shed in the School of Physics and Chemistry that is not even suitable for storing dead bodies, and they are doing hard work.
It is said that this shack is as hot as an oven in summer, but it is so cold that it can freeze in winter. The unventilated environment also forces them to carry out many refining operations in the open air in the yard.
In Ferdinand's view, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. For two scientific research lunatics, what is it to move once for the sake of good experimental conditions?
As long as these three join in, Bulgaria will definitely be at the forefront of the world in nuclear physics research, which will be of great help to future atomic bomb research!
Therefore, the letter of appointment for the University of Bulgaria was sent out through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Of course, the personnel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must do ideological work, which was also the most common method of recruiting talents in the early 20th century.
Those who engage in scientific research are basically invited to teach in the name of the university. Otherwise, if they are invited in the name of the country, many lofty scientists may really dismiss them!
Of course, in addition to these big figures, there were also some well-known scientists at the time who also received invitations from Bulgarian universities.
In line with the principle of casting a wide net and catching more fish, from 1900 to 1903, Bulgarian universities sent out more than a thousand invitations to teach!
At that time, many scientists would jokingly ask when they met, did you receive the invitation letter from the Bulgarian University today?
It has also become a benchmark for them to be recognized by the world. Basically, those who have made achievements in a certain field have received invitations!
Even though he knew that it was impossible for many people to come, Ferdinand was still not stingy when it came to teaching appointments. There is an invitation and appointment letter signed by him, the king's headmaster, which is enough to give these people face.
At this point, the invitees are very satisfied. Regardless of whether they came or not, everyone replied politely and kept the Pingshu.
Ferdinand's goal has been achieved, at least Bulgaria's attitude of attaching importance to scientific research has been conveyed through this incident.
Otherwise, why did the letters of appointment be scientists, but why didn't writers and historians receive them?
Facts have proved that it is still beneficial for Ferdinand to cast a wide net. In the following 66 consecutive years, many people chose to teach at Bulgarian universities.
After all, there are unsatisfactory people everywhere, and the time of Ferdinand Pingshu is valid for life. If you are unsatisfactory, going to Bulgaria to try your luck is also a good choice for many people!
Especially after the outbreak of World War I and the fall of many small countries, many people chose to immigrate to Bulgaria, because it is so close and their jobs are guaranteed! After all, with the king's personal promise, it is impossible to go back on it easily!
Of course, these invitations were not filled out by Ferdinand himself, they were all written by the Personnel Department of Bulgarian University, otherwise how could Ferdinand know so many people?
It was only going out in his name, and everyone defaulted to the invitation letter from him!
When Ferdinand was digging around, the Bulgarian government was not idle. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, and the Ministry of Industry almost all came out to go to European countries for large purchases.
From Western Europe to Eastern Europe, they can be found everywhere, whether it is a big power like Britain, France, Germany, Austria and Russia, or a small country like Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, and Switzerland, they are all within the scope of their activities!
This can be regarded as a beautiful landscape in the economic crisis, and Bulgaria's procurement staff suddenly became a favorite. Different from previous purchases, this time the capitalists begged them to buy. After all, during the economic crisis, everyone is short of cash!
Next, the procurement work went smoothly. The capitalists said that all the troublesome procedures can be taken care of, as long as they have money, they will provide door-to-door service.
In order to sell these equipments smoothly, some capitalists also helped dig their own corners, personally helped mobilize engineers to work in Bulgaria, and even simply lied to them that they were sending them to work in Bulgaria!
In short, if you go there, you will have a job, and you can also get favorable treatment. If you don't go, you will be unemployed! As long as you think you can find a new job now, you can refuse it!
This trick is very effective against middle and low-level technicians, but for top technicians, they are treasures wherever they go, and unemployment does not exist!
These people need Bulgaria to dig by themselves. If there is not enough interest, they will not go with you!
