There is a proverb: There is no need to raise a chicken if you want to eat eggs. There is also a similar saying in economics: Buying a ship is worse than buying a ship, and buying a ship is worse than renting a ship.

However, what if your body urgently needs the nutrition of eggs and the owner of the chicken is stockpiling and refusing to sell eggs? Or if you want to make a cake, you only need eggs, and the price of eggs cannot be afforded? Such extreme examples are rare in life, but they are very likely in the national economy.

Chen Wenqiang was developing the chemical industry he was familiar with, but he felt the constraints of the country's weakness, backwardness, and the hardships of developing industries. Because from beginning to end, the industry links were almost blank in China. In addition to self-reliance, they were even importing, and they would inevitably be controlled by others in the future.

To give the simplest example, equipment for producing hydrochloric acid will soon be shipped, assembled, debugged, retrained workers, and put into production. Although these take a lot of time, they are not very difficult. But what kind of equipment should be used to produce hydrochloric acid? In such a huge China, it is really regrettable that even an acid-resistant jar cannot be produced.

This is like a factory that produces beverages. It not only needs to produce beverages, bottles, bottle caps, seals, etc., but also produces them themselves. Then, it will take at least three or four factories or workshops, and it will even be more extended. For example, you need to make glass first to make bottles?

If you want to get rid of the constraints of foreign merchants and enterprises, Chen Wenqiang could only gradually take over the consequences. With the current measures, you have to import some products that are not high-tech, such as acid-resistant jars. This is only temporary. Once qualified hydrochloric acid is produced and compete with Japanese manufacturers, even the jars and jars may be stuck.

The wind is strong on the sea, the waves are rising and falling, and the waves are rushing towards us, beating the side of the ship, turning into flying flowers and broken jade, spewing out countless fleeting strange scenes.

No matter how hard it is, you still have to break through the waves. It is less than a year since you were reborn in this time and space, and the achievements you have achieved are already incredible to ordinary people. Although you are still in the initial stage of entrepreneurship, the actual conditions are there, and it will be useless to be too hasty.

Passion is not about explosion, but about lasting! If you want to stand at the forefront or fight in the tide of history, a solid foundation is the key.

On the other side of the deck, several young people who looked like students were discussing the past and present, and their voices were getting louder and louder, as if they were debating something. This was already out of the control of the court, and radical topics were inevitable. Words such as "revolution" and "overthrow of autocracy" kept floating in and entering Chen Wenqiang's ears.

This is the topic of the times. When the country is in great danger, the Chinese people who open their eyes are struggling to find ways to establish themselves or prescriptions. Japan, closest to China, seems to be the closest place to seek the scriptures.

That's right, this is the mainstream idea of ​​the Chinese people after the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, and it is also one of the reasons why they went to Japan to study. Studying in Japan seems to be "double the result with half the effort". In addition to the short journey and the close language, the Japanese have helped us taste and remove the poison of Western learning, which is a bit difficult and even dangerous like a puffer fish.

Therefore, together with a large number of half-baked overseas students, there are also a large number of half-baked Western theories that have been "produced with half-baked" by Japan. Although in the initial institutional design of the Qing Dynasty, Japan was just a convenient stepping stone needed to learn from the West, in fact, few people are willing or able to step on this stepping stone to directly contact the origin of Western culture.

Talent is quick to achieve, and theory is quick to achieve. Western theories, both fish and shrimp are processed into sashimi by Japanese chefs, and they remove the things they think are unhealthy, and then picked up by more extensive chopsticks and sent into the hungry Chinese belly.

"Mr. Chen, you are also asking for help when you are going to Japan, but why did you tell my father that it is better to go to Europe and the United States than to study in Japan?" Zhao Haizhen's second son Zhao Weijun is one of the members who accompanied Chen Wenqiang, and now he finally raised his questions.

"If you want to gain real talent and knowledge, you must calm down. I'm afraid there is no such condition in Japan." Chen Wenqiang said in a pondering manner: "You know I have a few foreign friends. According to the news they have heard, Japan seems to be becoming a breeding ground for cultivating violent Chinese revolutionaries. In such an environment, it is not easy to calm down and study? Well, I will not comment on politics for the time being, just say your father, does he hope you become a scholar or scientist, or a revolutionary? Besides, Japan's westernization is just a half-baked man, and it is not worth mentioning."

"Sir, I'm afraid I haven't told all the reasons?" Zhao Weijun smiled sly and said, "From your usual words, you don't seem to have any good feelings for Japan? Although you want to go to Japan for help, you are forced to do so."

Chen Wenqiang looked at Zhao Weijun seriously, couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't you think Japan is powerful because it is sucking China's blood? It's occupied Penghu, Taiwan, and the Lushun Massacre. Can these brutal and cruel acts be done by a civilized country? Hehe, Japan is just wearing a cloak of civilization, but has not entered the ranks of civilized countries at all. Geographically speaking, Japan is China's most dangerous enemy."

"Is it not advisable to learn military affairs in Japan?" Jin He, the son of Master Jin San, also came out to see the world with Chen Wenqiang. He really wanted to become a majestic general, that is, he was very interested in the army.

"Japan's military studies are learned from Germany. If you want to learn, learn authenticity." Chen Wenqiang pondered for a moment and said, "You two came out this time to see the world and understand the outside world. By next year, I will arrange for you to study in Germany. If you are willing to learn technology, learn technology, and if you are willing to learn military, learn military. It depends on your personal interests and hobbies."

"By next year, Mr. Chen will have a foundation in Germany, right?" Zhao Weijun knew more about the business situation, but he still had some questions and was not sure.

"After saying the foundation, some friends in Germany can be sure of it." Chen Wenqiang smiled and said, "From the people from various countries, the Germans are meticulous and rigorous, and their minds are relatively real. Well, relatively speaking!"

"It is also one of the great powers who bullied China. Is it true that they can do this?" Zhao Weijun felt a little incomprehensible about Chen Wenqiang's statement.

"National interests are cold things, and this has nothing to do with personal character and character." Chen Wenqiang shook his head and said, "You will understand in the future, well, and you may not understand. Just like this sea, it is profound and unpredictable, and the relationship between countries is the same."

Zhao Weijun and Jin He looked at each other, and when they wanted to ask, Chen Wenqiang had already gotten up and walked to the railing, raising his eyes to the distance.
