Regarding the two choices given by Sun Yuanqi, this group of young people fell in love with the name "General Motors Corporation" (GM) at a glance, and were completely unable to accept the German "volkswagen".
No wonder Durant knew that General Electric Company (GE) already existed. General Electric was founded in 1892, funded by Morgan Sr., and combined Edison General Electric Company and Thomson-Houston International Electric Company. After the merger of the three companies, the new automobile holding company based on Buick Motor Company and Olds Motor Company will still be named "General Motors". It seems that the American people have a special affection for the word "general". bell.
Because Sun Yuanqi was anxious to return to China, Jamie and others called in a lawyer that day to discuss important matters regarding the establishment of a new company. Early the next morning, before Sun Yuanqi left, he already had an extra $1 million in his Citibank account.
Let¡¯s not talk about Sun Yuanqi and his party heading west from the east coast of the United States, and let us turn our attention to Tokyo, Japan, thousands of miles away.
At this moment, in a teahouse in Chiyoda District, Tokyo, a dozen Chinese people are discussing a certain topic. What is on the table is a letter sent from London by the European branch of the Chinese Society for Science and Technology.
It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, there were three different organizations among international students:
The first is an official organization called the "Student Supervision Office", which is similar to the Education Office of the embassy today. It is responsible for managing all aspects of international students. The general supervision is served by the minister of the country where the envoy is visiting, and the deputy general supervision is provided by the academic department and the overseas student. Let the ministers report together.
The second type is a student voluntary organization similar to a hometown association, which is generally divided according to provinces. The Hometown Association will accept the instructions from the Tourist Supervision Office and act according to the orders; it will regulate the relationship between fellow students and help each other at the bottom. There are both connections and quarrels among the various hometown associations, which means "brothers are jealous of each other within a wall and defend themselves against their insults".
The third type is underground organizations such as the Tongmenghui, the Constitutional Government Association, and the Socialist Seminar Association. These organizations focus on specific political ideas and are composed of like-minded comrades. The political ideas they promoted were not recognized by the Qing court, so they were closely monitored and severely cracked down by embassies abroad, and they could only operate underground.
After the founding meeting of the European branch of the Chinese Society of Science and Technology, in the name of President Sun Yuanqi, the society's charter was sent to Chinese students in America and Japan, suggesting that they establish corresponding branches. There is nothing taboo about this kind of letter, and it requires official support and approval, so I sent it directly to the Touring Student Supervision Office.
At this time, the person serving as the minister of envoy to Japan was Li Jiaju. He always believed that it is better to do less than to do more. In his opinion, this kind of letter signed "European Branch of the Chinese Society for Science and Technology" is similar to the leaflets of the "Tongmenghui" and "Loyalist Society" that the embassy often receives. There is no need to open it at all and can be destroyed directly. Only when he saw the words "Sun Yuanqi" did he resist the urge to throw the letter into the trash can.
For Li Jiaju, the name Sun Yuanqi is not unfamiliar, because there are too many overlaps in the official experience of the two:
First of all, they all stayed in the Hanlin Academy. Li Jiaju was the third Jinshi of Enke in the 20th year of Guangxu (1894). He was selected as a good scholar and was awarded the title of editor of the Hanlin Academy. He became a lecturer at Hanlin Academy.
Secondly, they all worked in the Imperial University. Li Jiaju was promoted to the newly opened Capital University in 1898, and went to Japan with Li Shengduo and others to inspect academic affairs. In 1906, he was appointed as the general supervisor of the Capital University; Sun Yuanqi also hung out in the Capital University from 1898, what kind of teaching? , conference manager, and deputy sponsor.
Third, they all served as Hubei academic administrators. In 1903, Li Jiaju was an editor of the Hanlin Academy and became an academic envoy in Hubei Province; Sun Yuanqi came to Hubei in 1906 to serve as an academic envoy who had just been restructured from academic administration.
Fourth, they all served as officials of the academic department. When Li Jiaju was the general supervisor of the Capital University, he held the title of Right Chancellor of the Academic Department; now, Sun Yuanqi is still the nominal Right Minister of the Academic Department.
Now both of them are still second-grade officials of the Qing Dynasty, maybe this can be regarded as something in common. However, Li Jiaju's second rank was a consolation prize earned by going abroad and suffering. As for Sun Yuanqi, a domestically employed person, he was a head lower than the second rank. In addition, there is an uncle who is a bachelor behind him, so it is really difficult to offend him rashly.
So Li Jiaju had no choice but to open the letter with a frown and read it carefully. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it. Of course, the establishment of the Japanese branch of the China Society of Science and Technology cannot be done by oneself. According to the usual practice, people were sent to invite the talkers from the Japanese-Japanese Associations in each province, handed the letters to them, and asked them to handle it, and the matter was considered over.
Since it isThere are at least 6,000 to 7,000 students in China today. Even if a quarter of them are studying science, engineering, agriculture, and medicine, there is still an incredible number! Moreover, these students are from Sapporo in Hokkaido to Fukuoka in Kyushu. We can¡¯t afford the travel expenses and accommodation for a meeting! "
"European countries should be much larger than Japan. How do they hold meetings?" Jing Dingcheng asked.
Xu Jingxin read through the papers in the letter from beginning to end and shook her head: "Who knows? There is nothing in it!"
However, Lin Changmin came up with an idea: "Most of the students studying in Japan are still near Tokyo. To establish the society, I think it would be better to start from Tokyo Imperial University, Waseda University, Tokyo Technical School, Tokyo Higher Normal School, Chiba Medical College, Find some people from the Tokyo Sericulture Training Institute and other schools to put up the air first. Since it is a start-up, it is naturally impossible to cover everything. We will talk about the future. Besides, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? "
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads: "This is a good idea." (To be continued.
