1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 181 Xiang Lan gets what she wants, Li San is promoted, and the boss comes to visit
After a night of tossing and turning, Li Qiwei was full of energy the next morning.

Wang Luyao is different from Xiang Lan. She makes Li Qiwei experience the pleasure of soul fusion.

It's a feeling that can't be described, it can only be experienced.

However, Li Qiwei will not dislike Xiang Lan because of this, because the two women are independent individuals, each with their own characteristics and wonders.

And his promise to Xianglan has not changed.

After finally asking Xiang Lan for her opinion, Li Qiwei had no choice but to respect her and take her as his concubine.

But even though she was a concubine, it made no difference to Li Qiwei.

As a soul in the future, he will not have any prejudice because of this.

Anyway, there is no throne to inherit, so there is no need to worry about future generations of children.

"Xiang Lan, don't worry, in my eyes, you and Lu Yao are the same."

"As long as I can stay by the young master's side, I will be satisfied."

Therefore, Li Qiwei chose an auspicious day and followed the formal procedures to take Xiang Lan into his side.

In ancient times, taking a concubine was not something that could be done casually.

First, the husband needs to get the consent of his parents, and secondly, the consent of his wife.

And also meet the age and economic conditions.

The law stipulates that if a wife does not give birth to a son within 20 years of marriage, or if a husband does not have a son after the age of 40, he can legally take a concubine.

Or if the wife has not given birth and is over 40 years old, or if she gave birth to a girl and has not given birth again after 8 years, a concubine can be taken with the consent of the wife.

Of course, these are all for ordinary people.

The truth is that the number and conditions of concubines often depend on a person's financial resources and social status.

If you have money and the woman is willing, even the government will not interfere too much.

With so many people in the country concerned about this kind of thing every day, how can we possibly keep up?

Not to mention that with Li Qiwei's current status, he would not be punished even if he openly took a concubine.

Mother Li was very happy because she felt that Xianglan was an honest and caring child.

The most important thing is that she has been serving Wei'er for 7 years, and they have a deep relationship between master and servant.

Therefore, she attached great importance to Xianglan, without the kind of indifference and arrogance that ordinary people treat their concubines.
Xiang Lan’s living conditions are almost the same as Wang Luyao’s.

And the two still get along like sisters.

Li Qiwei was finally relieved. He fulfilled his promise that in the future he would take his two daughters to see all the prosperity in the world.

But he suddenly thought of one thing: what would happen if the news that he had two legal wives spread to the women in Europe who admired him.

Then his hard-earned identity as a fighter for women's rights would probably be ruined.

Foreigners can't tell the difference between a wife and a concubine. They will only think that Li Qiwei is not loyal, a pig's hoof, and says one thing and another behind his back.

What's the name of that bright-eyed girl at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark? Will she still like me?
Li Qiwei was stunned. Why did he end up thinking about Europe?

He quickly retracted his thoughts.

After Xiang Lan's identity was confirmed, her elder brother Song Daquan was no longer suitable to drive for Li Qiwei.

So Li Qiwei waved his hand, personally invested in setting up a transportation company, and let Song Daquan be in charge.

The company's business is basically the same as that of taxi companies in later generations, and it also provides express delivery and other services.

Old Song was very happy. He jumped from a coolie to a big boss and was highly valued by Li Qiwei.

All his friends were envious, but no one thought he was selling his sister for fame and fortune. Instead, they wished they had a sister like him.

But they heard that it was Old Song's sister who did not want to be a co-wife and was willing to be a concubine, which shows how simple her character is.

Oh my god, from now on Young Master Li will spoil her to death.

After Song Daquan took off, he did not forget these brothers. According to Li Qiwei's advice, he hired all of them to his own transportation company.

All rickshaws are subject to the company's arrangements and are assigned jobs in the company's name, and they are all good and important jobs.

Everyone's income has increased several times compared to before.

Thanks to the power of Li Qiwei, the boss behind the company, Song Daquan's business scope is no longer limited to Tianzi Wharf.

One of Li Qiwei’s small goals was to monopolize the entire rickshaw industry in Guangzhou.

Because he knows clearly that the future mode of transportation will undergo great changes.

Not only will rickshaws become more and more comfortable and advanced due to the development of rubber, but cars will also appear, which is a symbol of high-end.

Although few families can afford a car, it is still affordable to take a ride occasionally.

Therefore, by then, transportation companies will have both high-end automobile business and low-end rickshaw business, and they will definitely be able to occupy a place in the domestic transportation field.

Moreover, cars can even be used as troop transport tools at special moments, which is very convenient.

Li Qiwei is also planning ahead for the future.

Song Daquan exaggerated Li Qiwei's plan and told his old friends about it, which scared them.

Although the brothers didn't quite understand, they did make money, so they all praised Lao Song for his loyalty and said he deserved to drive a Mercedes in the future.

That’s right, Li Qiwei’s Mercedes-Benz has been ordered, and he is now going through various formalities. Only after all the formalities are completed can it pass through customs and be sent back to the country.

Sheng Jingran, who was still in the UK, called. When Karl Benz learned that it was Li Qiwei who ordered the car, he immediately said that the car was given to him for free. He hoped to make friends with Li Qiwei.

Li Qiwei understood what this guy was thinking. It seemed that his several patents about cars had shocked the other party, and Karl Benz wanted to cooperate with him.

If Karl Benz hadn't known that Li Qiwei would be returning to Europe soon and that he himself was too busy to handle it, he would have wanted to come directly to Asia to find Li Qiwei.

Li Qiwei was already imagining the cool scene of driving to school.

He just wants to give everyone the impression that if they follow him, Li Qiwei, their future will be limitless.

Following him to study science and technology, life will become better.

I can ride in this Mercedes, and so can you, provided that you can get full marks in physics.

Who says scientists must be frugal? In any case, Li Qiwei cannot be frugal.

Scientific research depends on talent, diligence, and luck, and has nothing to do with what clothes you wear or what car you drive.

People who wear patched clothes are not necessarily awesome, and people who drive luxury cars do not necessarily mean they are hedonistic losers.

If even the smartest people in the world spend their days eating steamed buns and drinking porridge, how many young people would be willing to devote themselves to science?

Sentiment is the glory of the noble, and is by no means a shackle on morality.

Li Qiwei wanted to infinitely elevate the status of scientists to realize the great plan in his mind.

Look, even before the Mercedes-Benz car arrived, some big shots were already attracted to Li Qiwei.

The cause was the report on the academic exchange meeting in Science Weekly.

Office of the President of Huangpu University of Technology.

Ever since Li Qiwei appointed Yu Shimei as the vice president of Guangdong University, he has completely become a hands-off boss.

Guangdong University is a public university, and its various processes and systems are well-regulated.

After Li Qiwei explained the key points of running the school to Yu Shimei, he allowed him to start teaching management work.

He himself was based at Huangpu University of Technology, and the president's office became the office of the deputy minister in charge of education.

At this moment, he is drafting various materials that may be used after school starts.

Opening ceremony, school motto, promotion system, graduation system, etc.

Although there will not be many students admitted in the first session, it must give people a sense of sacredness.

This is the first private university in China and is destined to leave a significant mark in the history of education.

Li Qiwei had to polish it carefully.

Suddenly, Li San came to report that someone claimed to know a little about physics and wanted to visit Li Qiwei.

Li Qiwei was overjoyed. He didn't expect the school's reputation to spread so quickly. He quickly ordered Li San to bring people over.

Now Li San has become the captain of the security team of Huangpu University of Technology. He is in charge of more than ten younger brothers and is very powerful.

He is not only responsible for Li Qiwei's personal safety, but also for the security of the entire school.

Once the school officially opens, patrols will be maintained 24 hours a day to detect and stop dangers in a timely manner.

This was a very chaotic era, and Huangpu was far away from the center of Guangzhou, so we had to be on guard against any villains with bad intentions.

Moreover, Li Qiwei always felt that there must be a lot of people watching him in secret. Even if they didn't want to kill him, they hoped to cause some trouble for him.

Therefore, under his instruction, Li Sancai formed a security team. All the members were clean people who had connections with the Li family and could be used with confidence.

Li San was a martial arts expert and was trusted by Li Qiwei and Li Tingzhao, so he naturally became the captain.

Li Qiwei even secretly ordered a dozen rifles through his own channels just in case.

These days, you feel safer only when you have a gun in your hand.

It's really chaotic, but no one cares whether you are a great scientist or not.

Now that the revolutionaries are causing trouble everywhere, the situation in the Qing Dynasty has gradually developed in an uncontrollable direction.

It can be said that at critical moments, Huangpu University of Technology can also serve as a small fortress.

Li Qiwei laughed at himself, saying that he still didn't have an office secretary, and Li San had become the boss.

He is now responsible for so many things that he really needs an office secretary.

Moreover, the secretary must also understand Western learning, be able to deal with people, and be able to handle various professional issues.

Originally, Wang Luyao wanted Xiang Lan to be his secretary, but Li Qiwei believed that his secretary must be a man, otherwise he would not be able to handle the intensity of his work.

So, he has been delaying and has not found a suitable candidate yet.

While he was thinking about these things, Li San had already brought people in.

The man had a stocky build, a round face and big ears. Although his eyes were small, they revealed a wise look.

The other party bowed and said in a loud voice: "Student Wang Jilie greets Master Li."

The moment he heard the name, the other person's life information suddenly appeared in Li Qiwei's mind.

After browsing, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic, thinking that he had finally found a treasure.

This should be the pioneer of Chinese physics community.
