Reborn Bao Guowei, I really didn’t want to be a great writer!

Chapter 368: The Master's Temperament? The Success of the Bright Typewriter!

"Dai Jitao wrote a book called On Japan, which is considered by many scholars to be the most important work on the study of Japan.

He mentioned in this book that the Japanese had intended to invade China since ancient times, but in the past our country was still strong and they could only bow down and submit.

Now no one can guarantee that the Japanese can still endure.

But I like yours more than his. Dai Jitao has a kind of worship of Japan in his articles, which is really unpleasant."

After listening to Bao Guowei's discussion, Zhang Taiyan said with emotion.

From his tone, he seemed to be dissatisfied with Dai Jitao.

After thinking about it, Bao Guowei was able to figure it out easily.

Dai Jitao was a complex character. He could be said to be talented. In his early years, he followed Mr. Sun to launch the Protection of Law Movement and was active in the work of the National Government as a secretary and adviser.

He was once a passionate young man who promoted patriotic ideas, mentioned the advancement of the Bolshevik and Marxist ideas, and claimed that Marx was "a master of modern economics" and "a forerunner of modern social movements."

Dai Jitao even wrote articles to criticize those in power and some media for attempting to suppress ideological liberation.

He advocates the study of Marx's works and has published many related works in succession.

After reading this, you may think that Dai Jitao is an extremely advanced scholar, who may be able to leave a significant mark in the history of modern China.

But people always change.

In his later years, Dai Jitao truly became Chiang Kai-shek's lackey.

He tampered with Mr. Sun's thoughts and participated in planning various bloody activities.

It can be said that Dai Jitao is now a notorious figure in the academic community.

Bao Guowei thought about it and commented.

"I have also read Dai Jitao's work, which really opened a precedent for research on Japan. The rise of Japan has only happened in the past few decades. There was a lack of such works in the past. His analysis of the Japanese class and regime in the book gave me a lot of inspiration. However..."

Bao Guowei showed a subtle smile on his face.

"Mr. Dai may have been to Japan, but the information he was able to obtain was not as detailed as mine, and many parts were still biased."

His implication is very clear. Comparing information with me, Bao Guowei? This Dai Jitao is rubbish!
Zhang Taiyan looked at his apprentice strangely, then smiled and shook his head.

Bao Guowei's words are very arrogant, but there is no room for refutation, because as far as "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is concerned, he has indeed done it.

Besides, Zhang Taiyan also likes this kind of madness!

"It seems that I am still not vigilant enough against the Japanese. The Japanese are poor and barren. Since ancient times, they have wanted to leave the island country and live on the mainland. They have been eyeing my country for a long time.

With this book, The Chrysanthemum and the Sword, I believe that the Chinese people will have a new understanding of the threat posed by Japan. When will you release this book, Bingwen?"

Zhang Taiyan said with emotion.

Today, he is no longer as serious as before, and gives very positive recognition to his apprentice's achievements.

Because he could feel that the young man in front of him seemed to have really grown up.

Bao Guowei thought for a moment and said, "I sent out the manuscript the day before yesterday. It should be available by the end of the month at the latest."

After hearing the news, Zhang Taiyan's originally pale face became rosy and he felt much more energetic.

He smiled and said, "I will wait for your good news! When the time comes, I will write an article to promote you, even if it means sacrificing my reputation!"

When the apprentice publishes a book and the master writes articles to promote it, there is indeed some suspicion of protecting the master.

But Zhang Taiyan didn't care about these rumors. He was an unconventional person to begin with, and after his near-death experience, he cared even less.

Bao Guowei said helplessly: "Sir, you should take care of your health first."

"I'm much better now." Zhang Taiyan said confidently, patting his chest.

It wouldn’t be a big deal if I didn’t clap, but this clap almost gave me a stitch in the side and I kept coughing.

Bao Guowei quickly stepped forward to help him calm down.

"I can still eat stinky tofu. Bring me some stinky tofu!"

Bao Guowei looked at Zhang Taiyan helplessly.

This old guy, just when he got a little better, came back again.

During the following period of time, Bao Guowei finally had some free time.

With the help of Charlie and Shen Shiwan, Zhang Taiyan's condition improved day by day, and the development of penicillin was a real clinical success.

Previously, researchers used their own bodies and those of some students to conduct research, and the infections often were not very serious.

Zhang Taiyan's pneumonia could be considered truly critical.

The miraculous effect of penicillin on him truly illustrates the magical effect of this type of drug.

If this technology can be developed one day, I wonder how many patients can be saved!
However, it takes a very long process for penicillin to be put into production and then released to the market. If you want to truly apply it, it is estimated that it will not be achieved in a short period of time.

Therefore, even if Shen Shiwan hoped to obtain more drugs, there was no way.

As for Charlie, he didn't get any specific information at all. He just knew that Bao Guowei got the latest drug from the United States from somewhere.

This drug is far more effective in killing bacteria than allicin!

You know, after allicin came out, it shocked the whole world, and now all the powerful countries have carried out related research.

They haven’t even figured out allicin yet, and yet a “miracle drug” appears?
This could not help but make people feel vigilant, so Charlie immediately wrote a letter back home, hoping to mobilize his connections in the UK to investigate this research in the United States.

Of course, no matter how powerful Charlie is, there is no way for him to find out any information.

However, Bao Guowei would not expect that scientists of this era are all fools.

Because many research journals have published articles indicating that the world’s research on penicillin may have already begun!

The emergence of Bao Guowei may have allowed China to master penicillin technology earlier, but this advancement may not last long, even if it is kept secret.

"I am already satisfied with this."

In the study, Bao Guowei, who had just finished reading the latest issue of The Lancet, sighed.

There has been no big news recently, except for the Kuomintang's hype about Chiang Kai-shek's strategy. Regardless of victory or defeat, this is the tradition of the media controlled by the Kuomintang.

As for the subsequent "pursuit of victory" by the Kuomintang army, it is meaningless.

Bao Guowei prefers to read some foreign news guides and academic magazines.

There are almost no obstacles for him now.

As he was flipping through the books, Bao Guowei suddenly saw a letter.

Recently, in order to keep an eye on Zhang Taiyan and ensure that his condition would improve steadily, Bao Guowei almost never left his house, and his communication with the outside world was entirely through letters and magazines.

After returning, Zhang Nianyue once again took on the role of Bao Guowei's personal housekeeper.

Compared with Cao Yanhai's rough organizing method, Zhang Nianyue was much more careful. He classified things in detail and placed some of Bao Guowei's familiar friends in the most prominent positions.

After all, it has to be his fiancée.

Thinking of this, Bao Guowei opened the first letter.

The most letters come from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and this one is no exception.

After taking a look, I found that it was signed by Lin Yutang. I had sent the manuscript to Lin Yutang as soon as possible, so I thought he must have replied. As for the research on the Mingkuai typewriter, Lin Yutang should have told me the good news in the letter.

Bao Guowei opened the envelope, shook it, spread it out, and read it carefully.

“Seeing you in person!
The current situation is turbulent. I am very happy to receive your letter and a copy of the follow-up manuscript of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword". I will speed up the translation work in the future. I am writing back to inform you of the recent research status.
"

Mr. Lin Yutang is different. His excellent running script looks like a copybook.

Bao Guowei continued reading and found that Lin Yutang greeted Zhang Taiyan first.

"I don't know how Mr. Taiyan is doing now. If there is any change, please let me know in time."

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, Zhang Taiyan will not survive this time?
Bao Guowei smiled, and was glad that he had made all the necessary preparations. Otherwise, if his arrival had led to Zhang Taiyan's early death, he would have become a historical sinner.

The progress of the translation was briefly introduced later. Bao Guowei knew that it would take some time to achieve a faithful, expressive and elegant translation.

Moreover, he also hopes that through this work, many Westerners will become wary of the Japanese.

You know, when the Japanese invaded, the West was not innocent either. Given the Japanese economy at that time, it was simply impossible to launch a war.

However, there were many arms dealers. For example, the United States nominally had a "neutral policy" in the early days, but in fact it sold a large amount of strategic materials to the Japanese, whether it was oil, weapons, or loans.

Without this support, the Japanese would not be able to continue the fight.

So, those who say that the war against Japan can only be won by relying on America can shut up now.

Without America, the war might not have become so brutal!

This is the point that Bao Guowei has always wanted to convey. When it comes to the international game between major powers, it is simply unrealistic to place all hopes on another sovereign state!
In international games, there are never permanent friends, only permanent interests!
Unfortunately, Chiang Kai-shek seems not to know this.

I hope that this work, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", can slightly change some domestic public opinion and views among scholars!
Bao Guowei thought so and continued reading.

Next, almost all the content is about Lin Yutang’s efforts and experience on the Mingkuai typewriter.

"This gentleman is really persistent." Bao Guowei couldn't help but sigh.

Ordinary literati could not have the perseverance of Lin Yutang to engage in creative inventions. Even though the typewriter was basically usable, Lin Yutang still insisted on striving for perfection, and would never give up even if it meant working day and night.

This shows how powerful this gentleman is.

"With the help of Bingwen last time and the assistance of Mr. Huang Kan recently, the Mingkuai typewriter has been put on the right track. However, if I want it to be able to be released and change the current situation of creation in my country, I think I still need to work harder, so I have been immersed in research and improvement for two months."

Huang Kan’s help?
Bao Guowei thought about the conversation between him and Huang Kan before. Didn’t everything match up?

Bao Guowei couldn't help but feel emotional when he saw Lin Yutang explain the difficulties he encountered in his research and how he solved them.

In another time and space, Lin Yutang did not have a golden finger like Bao Guowei, but he still developed the Mingcai typewriter nearly twenty years later.

Using the theories of "satellite" and "planet", we created satellite axes, planetary axes, star axes, etc., truly realizing the typing of Chinese characters.

The research spanned nearly thirty years, but ultimately failed to succeed during Lin Yutang's lifetime due to the greed of the technicians and cost issues.

It has to be said that this is a regret for Lin Yutang.

Therefore, in this time and space, Bao Guowei would spare no effort to help the other party.

Now that he sees the results are very effective, he is also happy for Lin Yutang.

However, Bao Guowei expected that Lin Yutang would not write such a long letter to him just to "show off" his research experience, but must have other purposes.

Sure enough, Bao Guowei turned around and saw Lin Yutang’s question at the end.

".Now the development of Mingkuai typewriter has been mature, and the prototype will be delivered to Bingwen's residence soon, but there is a problem that still needs Bingwen's help to solve.

The manufacturer of the Mingkuai typewriter has been unable to be determined. I personally have no connections in this industry, but I heard that Bingwen knows someone from a related company. Please help introduce him to a related company!
Lin Yutang

The 19th year of the Republic of China.

"

Lin Yutang posed a difficult problem to Bao Guowei.

The other party doesn’t know any reliable company, but it seems that I have never had any contact with related companies?
At this time, the relevant domestic industries were still in a blank state.

The first thing Bao Guowei thought of was to find an American publisher. They must have some technology in developing typewriters.

But Bao Guowei instinctively didn't want to find a foreigner. The best choice was to support domestic products and have Chinese companies produce Chinese typewriters!

When Bao Guowei thought about this, two people immediately popped up in his mind.

One is the big boss in the pharmaceutical industry, Xiang Songmao; the other is the head of Wing On Department Store, Guo Le.

Both of them have worked with me before. The former helped me create various medical products, including but not limited to allicin, iron lung ventilators, and medical equipment that restored future generations.

The latter helped promote the popularization of masks and, in a sense, also made a significant contribution to the control of the current domestic epidemic.

After just a few months, Bao Guowei noticed that more people on the streets were wearing masks as the seasons changed.

Both of them were bigwigs in the industrial sector of the Republic of China. With their technical levels, it was not difficult for them to produce Mingcai typewriters.

As for professional matching, the domestic typewriter industry was still blank during this period and there were no related companies at all.

After thinking about it, Bao Guowei decided to go to Xiang Songmao to discuss it.

On the one hand, the other party has helped me a lot. I was too busy before, so I communicated with him through letters. Now it’s time to pay him a visit.

On the other hand, Xiang Songmao appears more credible.

This gentleman, in another time and space, was a person who was not afraid of the Japanese at all.

He trained his own corporate employees and conducted military training to fight against the Japanese invasion.

During the war, he also personally supervised the production of various types of medicines to supply the needs of the front lines.

Eventually, he was killed by the Japanese because of this.

Bao Guowei would never believe that such a man would use the technology he provided to sell out his country.

So, finding him might be the best choice!

Now that Xiang Songmao is in Shanghai and has made up his mind, Bao Guowei plans to visit him in Shanghai in the next few days.

Coincidentally, the other party also invited me to have a chat in the letter I received today.

Thinking of this, Bao Guowei shouted to the outside of the door.

"Lao Cao! Prepare the car! We have work to do."

At this moment, Cao Yanhai, who was flirting with the maid in the mansion, suddenly shuddered.

He said with great reluctance.

"Xiao Cui, I have to go with you to do something important again. This is related to the livelihood of the whole world. You should know that nothing you are asked to do is trivial. You can just wait for me here."

"Brother Cao!" Xiao Cui's eyes were a little reluctant, but when she thought about the importance of the matter, an expression of admiration immediately appeared in her eyes and she said.

"Brother Cao, go and do your business! I will definitely wait for you to come back!"

Cao Yanhai reluctantly let go of the other person's smooth little hand, turned around gracefully, and left only a handsome back to the other person.

But when he entered the house, Cao Yanhai immediately changed his expression, and trotted over in a very flattering manner, almost sliding down to his knees.

"Master! Master! What else do you want me to do? I, Cao Yanhai, will go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"
