Xi Zhengfu coughed a few more times, and Xi Ligong immediately went over to give his father a pat on his back. After calming down, Xi Zhengfu said: "If the imperial master's school needs to purchase equipment from abroad in the future, as long as it is HSBC or a bank that I can control, I will not charge a penny for the handling fee. Even if I am old, I will not charge you a penny. I will do my best to contribute to the great cause of education." Li Yu cupped his hands and said: "Thank you, General Manager Xi." Xi Zhengfu waved his hand: "You don't need to thank me. I have worked in foreign banks for most of my life. Although I am respected by others, my face is... When dealing with foreigners, I still didn't dare to have any disobedient intentions. Now that I see your rise, I feel very grateful. It turns out that we can also achieve the level of foreigners. As the old saying goes, it is enough to die in the morning and die in the evening. When I see an outstanding young man like you in my twilight years, I think I have lived a long life in vain." Li Yu said: "General Manager Xi should take care of himself and take care of his health." Xi Zhengfu said: "I haven't done much in my life. For good things, I only care about making a name for myself in the circle of wealth and making money. Looking back, there are still a lot of regrets, which can only be left to you." Xi Zhengfu will pass away next year, and his son Xi Ligong will take over. Xi family industry.
After Xi Zhengfu finished speaking, he coughed even more violently. He had no choice but to thank the guest. Li Yu walked into Xi's house, and soon Xi Ligong ran out and handed him a land deed: "This is the land deed for the land on Dongping Road. My father said that the emperor can build a mansion here. Although the area is not large, We can't build a courtyard, but there is no problem with the two-story foreign-style building." Li Yu took the land deed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xi." Yang Sisheng had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Li Yu coming out with a land deed, he immediately came over and asked, "Emperor Why did Master Shi come out so quickly?"
"Manager Xi is ill," Li Yu said, and then showed him the land deed.
"Do you think we can build a small Western-style building in this place?" Yang Sisheng is an expert in architecture. He took a few glances and said, "What a great place! What style does the emperor want to build? Nowadays, everyone loves French-style buildings." Li Yu He said: "You can figure it out and make the best use of the location." Yang Sisheng smiled and said: "Master Imperial Master is so open-minded. Leave such a big matter to me directly." Li Yu spread his hands and said: "I'm not that big. More time. Besides, I believe in your ability. It doesn’t matter whether you have a design or not. I don’t think a small foreign-style building can trouble you." Yang Sisheng was in awe: "Master Emperor thinks highly of me, I will definitely not let you Disappointed!" Li Yu only added: "As many green plants as possible." 400 square meters is definitely enough, and there is no big problem if you have a small garden.
After bidding farewell to Yang Sisheng, Li Yu still needs to find a partner-Shanghai sauce industry giant Zhang Yiyun.
Historically, Wu Yunchu partnered with him twenty years later to produce MSG and break Japan's monopoly.
Zhang Yiyun is still very young now, only in his thirties, and he passed the imperial examination when he was 22 years old, but he did not pass the Jinshi examination.
Nowadays, the Zhang family has many soy sauce gardens and is very popular in the food industry. But before looking for him, Li Yu still needed to come up with some physical objects.
So he came to Zhong Guanguang and Yu Heqin's scientific instrument museum on Wuma Road again. Zhong Guanguang looked at the large cart of kelp and wheat bran pulled by a rickshaw behind Li Yu, and was very surprised: "Sir, are you delivering food to us?" Li Yu said with a smile: "These are not for food, I want to borrow your laboratory For use with instruments.”
"Doing an experiment?" Zhong Guanguang asked.
"Yes, a little chemistry experiment." Li Yu said. Yu Heqin was engaged in chemistry, and he immediately became interested after hearing this.
"I'll give you a hand, sir!" Li Yu said with a smile, "I'll give you a hand." The extraction of sodium glutamate in the early days was not complicated. Kelp was used at first, but the content in kelp was very low. Ten kilograms only It can extract 0.2 grams, but it cannot be commercialized at all.
Among common foods, the most rich in monosodium glutamate are wheat bran and beans. Moreover, wheat and kelp are cheaper than soybeans.
The method at this time was relatively primitive, using chemical extraction. ——As for future generations, microorganisms have already been used, which are highly efficient and pollution-free.
But currently Li Yu and the others can only use stupid methods. If there is a purpose, and it is a reliable purpose, purification is not difficult for chemists.
After all, we are not studying the chemical composition of MSG. Within a few days, they came up with the results. Although the purity was very average, adding a little more would be no problem.
Now it is just a temporary test product, not the final product, so it will take some time. Yu Heqin cooked a table of vegetables, and after eating the vegetables with sodium glutamate, he and Zhong Guanguang's eyes instantly lit up: "So my cooking is so delicious!" Li Yu said with a smile: "There is still a lot left. It still needs to be purified." Yu Heqin's previous experiments were basically done by himself. He has not yet gone to Japan for further study, so his chemical knowledge is still very low.
But after Li Yu explained the experimental process to him several times, he immediately understood the truth. After several days of joint research, he learned a lot of modern chemistry knowledge, and immediately said that he would devote his time to the purification of sodium glutamate during this period. .
Li Yuxian took the test product to the sauce industry king Zhang Yiyun. When he heard that Li Yu could purify and create an extraordinary
When it comes to "fresh" things, it is very difficult to understand: "Master Imperial Master, I know that you understand the most advanced foreign scientific theories, but I really can't figure out what the 'fresh' you mean tastes like." Li Yuna Take out a pack of sodium glutamate,
"Boss Zhang, you can give it a try with today's lunch meal." Li Yu's reputation was so great that Zhang Yiyun had to pay attention and handed the bag of MSG to the chef.
After today's lunch dish was made, the guys really praised it after eating it. Zhang Yiyun took a few bites and found that it had a unique and good taste.
"What is this? It's so magical. Does it belong to foreigners? I thought foreigners didn't know how to cook. It seems that I am ignorant." Zhang Yiyun said.
Li Yu smiled and said: "There are no foreigners now. By the way, are you interested in producing it together in the future?"
"It's worth it!" Zhang Yiyun was originally in the food business and understood the market potential of this product.
"But I still have some questions, how much does it cost?" The price of the sauce produced by Zhangjia is not low.
Li Yu said: "My purpose is to make the food at a low price so that more people can experience the deliciousness of the food. Because there are too many poor people in our country, many people don't have enough to eat, and those who can have food can't. The food is tasteless." Zhang Yiyun praised: "As expected of the emperor! It is really high justice!" Li Yu said: "Frankly speaking, I will not seek any profit from domestic operations." Seeing Zhang Yiyun's hesitation, Li Yu immediately Added: "But this kind of product can be sold overseas, such as Japan, and can generate very considerable profits." Zhang Yiyun's brows immediately widened: "The Emperor is a good strategist! If you can make Japanese money, I will really admire you even more. Based on this, I must cooperate!" Li Yu said: "It won't take long for the product to be developed. In the future, I will set up factories in Beijing and Tianjin, and there will also be a branch factory in Shanghai. I will try my best to get a good reputation first." Zhang Yiyun was much more familiar with doing business: "Don't worry, Imperial Master, our Zhang family's soy sauce garden will spare no effort to promote it." - At this moment, the matter is almost completed, and Li Yushang still needs to build a school in Wuchang.
According to the plan, it is impossible for the central region to have no schools. But before he could leave, Zhang Yuanji from the Commercial Press came to see him again.
"Sir, my printing press is planning to launch a magazine called "Oriental Magazine". I happened to hear that you will publish the prequel to the Star Wars series. I wonder if it can be serialized by then?" "Oriental Magazine" was a domestic publication in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It is the leading large-scale comprehensive magazine that faithfully records the historical changes of nearly half a century. It is also a place for celebrities to publish their works.
Famous thinkers and writers such as Liang Qichao, Cai Yuanpei, Yan Fu, Lu Xun, and Chen Duxiu have all published articles in this journal.
"Of course it can, but it's not finished yet." Li Yu said. Zhang Yuanji was not in a hurry: "The magazine is also preparing for the issue now. I finally heard that you came to Shanghai, so I hurriedly came over to make an appointment for a manuscript." Li Yu said with a smile, "I can just send a telegram from now on." When it came to the manuscript, Li Yu It’s time to write an article for the American “sce”.
It just so happened that the Star Wars series in Europe and the United States has become very popular recently, and readers are very interested in space-related content, so Li Yu wrote a paper that was easier to understand.
That is, the three major cosmic velocities are calculated in sequence. Obviously it's not a very difficult question, but no one dares to think about it yet, so no one does the math.
Because the speed of the third universe is about to leave the sun, everyone thought it was a fantasy before. After all, there are not even airplanes, so why go to space?
However, this article can let Star Wars fans know that it is possible to enter outer space. In fact, this is indeed the case. Many readers of the Star Wars series even came to buy the professional "sce" magazine, causing the magazine to be out of stock again.
The Association for the Advancement of Science was really convinced. Whenever Li Yu published an article, it was bound to be a best-seller, and it became a golden brand.
Except for Star Wars fans, such a concise and hearty derivation directly attracted the attention of Einstein.
Because the derivation process used the kinetic energy formula and integrals, Einstein's mind was not very fast. He immediately drew analogies and started the derivation on the paper.
After using it all morning, he was shocked to see an unbelievable result: e=mc2. That is the famous kinetic energy formula.
Of course, the Lorentz transformation, integration by parts, etc. will be used in the process. It is generally the advanced mathematics content that everyone in science will learn, and it is actually not difficult.
Majors such as economics and management should also learn this part. But for Einstein, the results were truly inexplicable.
There are only energy, speed, and mass in the formula. From the perspective of today's physics community, it is not shocking at all, it is simply
"Bullshit"! Einstein had a big head, and he immediately thought of Li Yu, who was also proficient in Lorentz transformation and physics.
He immediately wrote a letter and sent it to the East.
