Beiyang reactionaries

Again.

China and Germany are thousands of miles away, and Germany has no interests in the Far East.There is currently no conflict of interest between China and Germany, and Germany is not afraid of China becoming stronger.

This idea is completely different from other powers.

So for now, it is best to cooperate with Germany.As long as you give him money, they dare to sell you anything, and they will not restrict you.

"Several, recently the cabinet is considering, in order to develop the country's chemical industry, to set up a chemical industry department under the Ministry of Industry, which is responsible for the formulation of chemical industry development policies and responsible for the establishment of several specialized chemical engineering universities in the country. But now the top priority The main job is how to import those machines and technologies from Germany. In what way and in what order.”

"What does the Prime Minister mean?"

"Mr. Fan, Minister Liang Huankui of the Ministry of Industry recommended you to be the Minister of the newly established Ministry of Chemical Industry. I also think that in China at present, you are the most suitable for this position. Therefore, I want to meet you today to invite you, Mr. Fan to take up the post of Minister of Chemical Industry."

"I?"

Fan Xudong hesitated.

Before he met Duan Xun today, he had not received any rumors.Including the cabinet's establishment of the Ministry of Chemical Industry.Now Duan Xun directly proposed to let him be the Minister of Chemical Industry, which surprised him.

So he can't answer.

Back then, Fan Xudong was also full of passion and wanted to do things for the country.However, in the late Qing Dynasty and the early years of the Republic of China, he was run on several times in the officialdom for his great ambitions.

It made him very discouraged.

That's why he left the officialdom and started to set foot in the mall.Now let him return to the officialdom, he really never thought about it.

"Mr. Fan, you are all leaders in China's chemical industry. If you are only in charge of a chemical group, it would be a waste of your talents. Now the country needs to develop the chemical industry on a large scale, but we don't know where to start. Even if we want to formulate a development plan in this area, we don't know where to start, so the government is in great need of professionals. Several of them are professionals in the chemical industry. I hope that several of them can join the government. Participate in formulating plans for the development of China's chemical industry."

Duan Xun is very sincere.

Duan Xun respects these talents very much.

So while speaking, Duan Xun stood up and bowed to these few.With Duan Xun's strike, Fan Xudong and the others all stood up, and no one dared to accept this.

After all, Duan Xun is the prime minister of the cabinet.

With the signing of the "Sino-Japanese Treaty of Nanjing", Duan Xun's prestige in China is at its peak.How dare they accept such a big gift from Duan Xun.

Even a little moved.

"Prime Minister, we dare not be."

"Dare to be, dare to be. Mr. Fan, I am preparing to hold a national science and technology staff meeting. What I want to say is that science and technology is the first driving force for the development of the world. Similarly, if our country wants to develop, we must also vigorously develop science and respect science. , We must respect scientific personnel. If our country’s universities can train 10,000+ scientific and technological talents every year, and hundreds of thousands of scientific and technological talents, will my country’s industrial development still worry about the lack of talents?”

Duan Xun has been advocating the cultivation of scientific and technological talents in universities for these years.

Although there are some effects, the effect is not very obvious.Although many universities have changed, the changes cannot be said to be many.Because traditional forces are very powerful.At present, the universities that attach the most importance to science and engineering are the universities developed by Duan Xun in the southwest region.

Such as Sichuan University in Chengdu, China University of Geosciences, China University of Engineering, China Weapons Academy, Southwest Associated University in Kunming, Yunnan, and Northwest University in Xi'an, Shaanxi.

In those areas, when Duan Xun established a university, he focused on science and engineering.Therefore, the number of science and engineering talents trained is the largest.After so many years, tens of thousands of students from science and engineering have graduated.

But it's still far from enough.

A country as big as China needs millions of science and engineering talents.Only tens of thousands of talents have been trained in a few years, which is a thousand miles away from the demand.

At present, in places where there are many colleges and universities in China, in Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai, the number of graduates in science and engineering is only one-seventh to eighth of that of liberal arts students.

So Duan Xun has already started preparations.

Preparing colleges across the country for change.But don't be too anxious, Duan Xun needs to take it step by step.The first step is to favor these technological talents.

Let them enter government agencies to hold important positions, and then the government keeps commending these people and setting an example one by one.

Public opinion moves first.

Tell them that studying science and engineering is an honor.

"Prime Minister, I accept this appointment."

Fan Xudong was very moved.

Hence the nod.

To formulate the development plan of China's chemical industry single-handedly is definitely a dream for someone like Fan Xudong.There was still some hesitation at first, but with Duan Xun's attitude, how could Fan Xudong not be excited.

So he immediately nodded and accepted Duan Xun's invitation.

"Okay. Mr. Fan, there are a few more. The cabinet will hold an industrial meeting in the afternoon, and a few of you will attend with me."

409

"Minister Liang, there have been a lot of meetings these days. Please report the plan compiled by your Ministry of Industry."

Yes.

Recently, there have been many meetings on industrial planning.Various plans have also been discussed again and again, discussed many times, and revised many times.

How should industry develop?

Everyone has no experience.Including Wang Yongjiang, who is currently in charge of economic work, and Liang Huankui, who is the Minister of Industry.Although they have a better understanding of industry than others, they have no experience in how a big country like China should develop industry.

Therefore, how to develop industry is also highly debated.

In fact, Duan Xun is not like this.

Duan Xun only knows that industrial development is very difficult, but Duan Xun has no idea how difficult it is and how to develop industry.No matter how far industry has developed, it can be regarded as real industrial development.Duan Xun is even less clear about what steps should be taken to develop the industry.Duan Xun did not have enough experience and knowledge about this point.

So distressed.

Duan Xun is also distressed.

And not to mention people like Duan Xun, Wang Yongjiang, and Liang Huankui, even a large number of industrial talents, they don't understand.This includes people like Ren Hongjun, Fan Xudong, and Ding Wenjiang.

They are experts in their own technical field, but they have no idea how the entire Chinese industry will develop.Everyone has their own ideas, so everyone can only keep discussing to find a more suitable method, which is more suitable for China.

During this period of time, everyone had heated discussions on how to develop the industry.

Of course, the effect is also very good.

Many people have suggested many ways.

"Yes."

Liang Huankui nodded.

He took out the notebook in his hand and said humanely to the person who was doing it: "Prime Minister, after these days of meetings in our Ministry of Industry, we have also sought a lot of opinions extensively. In the end, our opinion is that the overall strategy is to focus on the big and let go of the small. Manufacturing, research and introduction are equally important."
