The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Zhao Chuanxin originally thought that the visitors were from the companies he had been talking to during the day.

Unexpectedly, it was someone from Royal Dutch Shell.

This company is inextricably linked to Wilhelmina's royal family, and to some extent it is considered one of its own.

As soon as the other party met, he wanted to give Zhao Chuanxin a hug.

Zhao Chuanxin turned to one side and stretched out his hands to block him: "Don't move your hands or feet."

The man was stunned, then put down his arms with a smile.

It was also his fault that he didn't have the eyesight to see that Zhao Chuanxin was still holding the child.

Of course, if he hadn't been holding the child, he might have gotten a big slap in the face.

Zhao Lingjun stretched out his chubby arm: "Dad, hit him."

"Fight whatever you want, this is one of our own." Zhao Chuanxin said.

After hearing this, the man felt much better.

"Mr. Zhao, I am Henry Dieterding, President and CEO of Royal Dutch Shell."

Henry Dieterding is now only 43 years old. He is young and holds great power.

He joined Royal Dutch Petroleum Company more than ten years ago as a small bookkeeper.

When Royal Dutch Petroleum merged with British Shell Petroleum, it merged into Royal Dutch Shell Petroleum. Because Marcus Samuel, the former chairman of Shell Petroleum, shifted his focus to politics and was busy running for the mayor of London and neglected business operations. Therefore, the real power of the president and CEO can only be left in the hands of Henri Dieterding.

This guy looks like a scheming person at first glance.

Zhao Chuanxin invited him to sit down, and Margot went to pour tea.

Zhao Chuanxin asked Zhao Lingjun to sit on his lap and asked Henry Dieterding: "If you come to give me money, you don't need to ask, I won't refuse."

Henry Dieterding learned about Zhao Chuanxin from other people's mouths. Everyone said that Zhao Chuanxin's temper seemed to be bad, but in fact he was not very good.

But the heart is very soft, just like a sharp mouth and a tofu heart.

He smiled: "Mr. Zhao, I heard that you need large quantities of petrochemical-related products, and you also attach great importance to automobiles. In view of the relationship between you and His Majesty, I think we can cooperate."

Royal Dutch Shell has now achieved a very large scale.

Zhao Chuanxin naturally understands the importance of oil, otherwise, he would not miss Sakhalin Island.

"How do you want to cooperate?" Zhao Chuanxin first looked at the other party's intention.

Henry Dieterding said bluntly: "You know, our oil fields are in the Dutch East Indies. We have always wanted to open up the market in the Far East. The largest market - the Qing Dynasty, but it is firmly controlled by the capital of other powerful countries, and we have never been able to get involved. . You are a respected figure in the Qing Dynasty, and our cooperation is a matter of mutual benefit. "

Zhao Chuanxin is not interested in flattery.

He did not respond directly, but asked: "The noise of cars is very loud now, and the ignition of the car needs to be cranked by hand. What do you think?"

Henri Dieterding was stunned.

Why are you talking about this?

He thought for a while and said: "Although the focus of our business is currently on kerosene sales, it is undeniable that gasoline has great prospects in the future. I don't know much about cars. But the excessive noise is mostly due to unstable combustion of gasoline and easy explosion. Caused by the earthquake. The current use of the rocker to ignite may also be related to this. "

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, you are right. It seems that you are indeed an expert. It is easy to ask questions, but it is not easy to solve them. Let me ask you, do you have a solution?"

"This..." Henry Dieterding said unconfidently: "Sir, you have to know that if this problem can be solved, it will also be crucial to the development of automobiles."

Zhao Chuanxin was delighted: "If I solve this problem, how much money do you think this technology is worth?"

Henry Dieterding frowned: "Sir, if you solve this problem, the automobile industry will usher in spring. This means that the sales of gasoline will soar. Whoever seizes this opportunity will be invincible. At least, we will stabilize the US Standard Oil. This value is naturally very large, but I need to know the details to tell you its value clearly.”

Zhao Chuanxin thought of that old fox Rockefeller.

There are many problems when literati write history. Most of them talk about literature, Taoism and military strategy. Military fans are led by this and feel that suppression of military technology is the key to victory or defeat in wars.

However, behind the history of war is actually the confrontation between technology and productivity.

Marshal Ted, commander of the British Air Force, once concluded that there were only three reasons why the air battle in World War II could be won: 1. Merlin engine. 2. High-quality fuel supply. 3. Pilot.

Zhao Chuanxin had already started laying out these three points.

After making a fortune on Wall Street, the proportion of his funds invested in the aviation field was staggering. In addition, Lugang Town had already secretly sent people to Europe and the United States to gain access to the earliest pilot training, and flight technology evolved almost simultaneously with the advent of the aircraft. .

Hua Liang from Juanwang Technical College has already begun researching gasoline antiknock agents.

Zhao Chuanxin originally planned to let him play for a while and then give him a few pointers.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency and planned to find time to tell Hua Liang the secret of Octane Number after returning.

With 100-octane fuel and a corresponding engine, Zhao Chuanxin can sweep the battlefield in the sky.

With 150 octane fuel and a 27-liter engine, Zhao Chuanxin could make the Japanese cry for father and mother in the air during World War II.

Henry Dieterding suddenly looked solemn when he saw Zhao Chuanxin.

He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, what specific solution do you have?"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "There are always more difficulties than solutions, that's what I said. Okay, let's get down to business. You guys just want to open up the Far East market nearby because of the oil production in the Dutch East Indies. I can help you do it.”

Henry Dieterding heard this and became even more vigilant: "So, what's the price we have to pay? I hope you can consider that although the Qing Dynasty is large, its market share may not be satisfactory."

He just reminded Zhao Chuanxian not to speak loudly.

Zhao Lingjun was dishonest, so Zhao Chuanxin lifted her up and put her on his other leg and said, "The market share will grow. As for me, the most praiseworthy thing is generosity. I don't want money and I don't fight. your shares.”

Henry Dieterding would not believe Zhao Chuanxin's nonsense.

The free ones may be the most expensive.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a silk handkerchief: "Are you sure you don't want anything?"

"I just don't want money or shares." Zhao Chuanxuan stared at Henry Deterding and said: "But I want your latest exploration, drilling technology, refining kerosene, fuel oil technology and equipment, and share the cruise ship of your former Shell Transport Trading Company , terminals, storage warehouses, sales points and oil fields are all related process models, from your oil tanks to your oil barrels, no detail can be left out. "

All he wants is the essence.

Henry Dieterding was very smart and his eyes widened: "Mr. Zhao, have you discovered the oil field?"

What Zhao Chuanxin wants is the ability to get started immediately.

After learning everything about them, as long as there is money and oil fields, American Standard Oil and Royal Dutch Shell will immediately have a powerful competitor.

Then, the Qingguo market that Royal Dutch Shell Oil has just opened completely loses its meaning.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand: "Don't be impatient. Don't panic. I haven't discovered any oil fields. But the world is such a big place. There will be a day when new oil fields are discovered. By then, won't the skills I learned come in handy?"

Henri Dieterding was dubious: "If the time span was ten years, the technology you learned might already be behind."

I don’t read much, so don’t lie to me.

"You are always suspicious, it's true." Zhao Chuanxin said cheerfully: "I, Zhao Chuanxin, have never told a lie in my life for so many years. If you don't find it, you don't find it. Do you want the Far East market? ? As long as you open up sales in the Qing Dynasty, believe me, you also have channels in neighboring countries, and at least I can help you open up the Korean Empire market. "

It's hard not to be moved by Henri Dieterding.

This kind of contribution, to a certain extent, is equivalent to no contribution.

Moreover, he believed that even if Zhao Chuanxin discovered the oil field, after a series of studies, introduction of equipment, excavation, and marketing... after a series of processes, Royal Shell Oil had already occupied the Far East market.

He has confidence in himself.

Moreover, competitors will always exist, one more is not more, and one less is not more.

But he had other concerns. He said: "Sir, if you just want to learn by yourself, that's no problem. But you cannot sell our technology to our competitors. This must be signed into the contract. "

Zhao Chuanxin agreed: "No problem."

hehe.

There are no oil fields now, but there will be soon.

After completing the Hague Arms Limitation Commission and taking over the righteousness, Japan and Russia will soon be forced to "mediate conflicts" between Japan and Russia.

Location - Sakhalin Island.

And then there’s South Korea.

Because in the second half of next year, Japan will completely invade the Korean Peninsula.

If the life-saving straw is handed out, the current Supreme Emperor of the Korean Empire, Li Xi, and others will surely grasp it firmly.

Henry Dieterding, on the other hand, felt a little uneasy about seeking skin from a tiger.

…

Outside, among the second wave of people, there are Aksu from Aksu Company, Gerald Philips from Philips Company, reporters from the Daily News, and other small business presidents are waiting.

Gerald Philips put his coat on his legs and leaned his umbrella against the wall. He hesitated: "When I came here, I kept wondering if we were too reckless? With just one word from him, he came to our door to discuss cooperation. ?”

Aksu frowned: "What are you doubting? His financial resources? I don't know why the world always ignores the fact that he made a lot of money on Wall Street. Maybe it's because most people instinctively feel that moving around will nourish the body. Once you are rich, you shouldn’t take risks in a hail of bullets.”

Gerald Philips was stunned.

Don't tell me, he really ignored the fact that Zhao Chuanxin was very rich.

it's wired.

Is it true, as Aksu said, that the world has forgotten Zhao Chuanxian's wealth just like him?

This collective forgetfulness is magical.

At this time, they saw the maid Margot sending a middle-aged man out.

When these small and medium-sized business owners saw Henry Dieterding, they hurriedly stood up to say hello.

Royal Dutch Shell is a large multinational company, and they have to pay attention.

"Hello, Mr. Dieterding."

"Mr. Dieterding, it's a pleasure to see you at Noordenborg. You must be a frequent visitor here, right?"

Henry Dieterding was worried, so he responded with a few perfunctory words and went out.

Gerald Philips stared blankly at Henry Dieterding's leaving back and murmured to himself: "Is Mr. Dieterdin's visit because of Zhao Chuanxin's relationship with the Queen, or is it something else?"

If it were anything else, it would be interesting.

It means that the person saw something that he did not see.

Aksu looked around and suggested: "There are few companies present that compete, why don't we all work together?"

His words were unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

But Gerald Philips told a reporter from the Daily News: "You have to wait until the end to get in."

"Sir, why?"

"Because you reporters have big mouths."

Seeing this, Margot said, "I'll go ask sir first, you guys will do it later."

Not long after, she came out again and led everyone into the reception room.

Zhao Chuanxin taught Zhao Lingjun how to recognize his name.

When he saw everyone coming in, he didn't greet them and didn't even stand up to greet them.

He just waited for everyone to arrive before simply saying: "Your name is Aksu, right? What do you want from me?"

"Sir, my company mainly manufactures and operates man-made fibers. This valuable and beautiful fiber is destined to be enjoyed by only a few people. Perhaps the nobles in the Far East will favor it..."

All said and done, I still want to make the stall bigger.

Zhao Lingjun grabbed Zhao Chuanxin's beard, and Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth, raised his chin and said, "Expensive fiber?"

Seeing this, Aksu wondered: "Yes, sir, don't you know? Whether it is flammable nitrocellulose or the cuprammonium fiber invented in recent years, they can only be used in a few high-end textiles. Cuprammonium fiber, It can also be used in medicine.”

Isn't this common sense?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled.

Man-made fibers, which later generations despised and were detestable by dogs, became popular at this time.

"You've gone astray."

Aksu looked puzzled: "Sir, what do you mean?"

Old God Zhao Chuanxin said: "Man-made fiber has many advantages, such as not easy to shrink, not easy to be eaten by insects, and easy to preserve. But shouldn't its biggest advantage be that it is high quality and low price? If I have a way, let it If you reduce costs in all aspects from raw materials to production processes, you don’t have to open up new markets, the existing market is enough for you.”

Everyone understood that it was not that Zhao Chuanxin did not understand, but that he understood it very well.

These words made Aksu's breathing quicken: "Sir, are you telling the truth?"

"In addition, there are more powerful ones." Zhao Chuanxin's lateral thinking stretched out of control. "It's just that we have to discuss this in private."

"Okay, okay!" Aksu became excited.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at another person: "Your name is Gerald Philips, you specialize in electrical, right?"

"Sir, your memory is so good." Gerald Philips admired him sincerely.

In daily life, one of the most useful skills is ignored by most people.

That is to remember people’s names.

Especially if you can remember the names of several people at the same time, and be able to call them out accurately the second time you meet, it will give people the satisfaction of being respected.

It would be quite scary if you could also remember the person's background at the same time.

Some smart people specialize in practicing this skill and are successful in social interactions.

This time Zhao Chuanxian didn't ask any questions and said directly: "I want to sell light bulbs in the Far East. I can help. Not only that, I have a scientific laboratory, which is very large. The chief electrical engineer of the laboratory, you You should have heard of him, his name is Nikola Tesla.”

"What?" Gerald Philips was surprised: "Many people said that Nikola Tesla was assassinated, so he suddenly disappeared from the public eye. I didn't expect that he was working for Mr.

There is no doubt that the Qing Dynasty was backward.

The barren northwest region is even more desolate.

Deep in the desert, there are sparsely populated areas. After Nikola Tesla left, he lived an isolated life. How could he not disappear from the public eye?

But although he cut off contact with the outside world, he never cut off materially.

Whatever he wanted, Zhao Chuanxin had to prepare it for him.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Electrical appliances are not just light bulbs. If you want to cooperate, I will give you the latest radio technology, washing machines and other new gadgets. But, what can you give me?"

It’s not that Zhao Chuanxin is bragging. If he could simply build a brushless motor, he would be able to do it himself without Nikola Tesla having to step in.

Just like the machine that processes man-made fibers in Aksu, Zhao Chuanxin can rub the motor by hand and build a simple machine model.

The great thing about Nikola Tesla is that his brain can generate many things.

But to realize it, it still depends on Zhao Chuanxin, Benjamin Goldberg and Xingyue.

Gerald Philips stood up suddenly: "Sir, are you telling the truth?"

"Go back first and think about the price you can pay." Zhao Chuanxin said with disdain on his face and opened his mouth to say goodbye.

This is his profile in the Netherlands.

Next, people from chemistry, machine manufacturing, and even agriculture and animal husbandry came to seek cooperation.

Margot, who was outside, was surprised when she saw that everyone who came out of the reception room was glowing with excitement and could not contain their excitement.

Sir is really awesome.

After sending away the last person, Zhao Lingjun fell asleep.

Zhao Chuanxin left his daughter in the care of Margot and told her: "I have to go out and won't be back until very late. Please tell Wilhelmina."

Today's visit by entrepreneurs from all walks of life also represents the end of Zhao Chuanxin's visit to the Netherlands.

It’s time to go home after finishing the work tomorrow.

When I went out, I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses looking forward eagerly outside.

He was about to speak: "Sir, I am "Daily News"..."

But Zhao Chuanxin pushed him away: "Don't block the way!"

reporter:"……"

Zhao Chuanxin pushed him away and walked away.

Except for the moment of Noordenburg, the energy fluctuation convergence rune fragments were activated, and the holy light channel was opened to teleport to the courtyard of the white house in Quetshalan.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon in the Netherlands, and it was only six o'clock in the morning in Quetshalan.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't have lunch, so he could have breakfast here.

While the landlord's stupid son didn't come, he first released the digging puppets and puppet slaves to work, cooked for himself, and Xingyue manipulated the black puppet craftsmen to build machines for him.

While eating breakfast, Xingyue suddenly said to him: "When digging the bunker, I found a corpse buried in the soil behind the white house. The face is somewhat similar to Urquidi Gomez, but the age of flesh and blood, according to my analysis, is younger than Urquidi Gomez. I guess it should be his younger brother Nachito Gomez. Judging from the degree of decay, he died before you came here for the first time."

Zhao Chuanxin said "Huh".

Of course, he didn't kill the person.

Nachito Gomez was also a thug for Camilo Toric, a big landlord in Quetzalan, and had a more violent temper than his brother.

Strictly speaking, the white house belonged to him.

But he was buried behind the white house.

Zhao Chuanxin asked: "Do you know how he died?"

Xingyue replied: "He should have died from a blunt object smashing his head. You need to dig out the body and analyze the wounds."

"Forget it, it's disgusting. Let him die. It's none of our business. Go around there and dig somewhere else."

He needed a large underground fortress to store his personal belongings.

Just finished eating and was about to wash the dishes.

Zhao Chuanxin heard a woman screaming outside.

He walked out the door and looked at it with his hands on the awning, and his face became tangled.

If you go to a place where you are unfamiliar with someone and see someone committing rape.

Do it, or don't care?

Waiting online, very anxious, the skirt is about to tear...

Salma was pressed to the ground by Urquidi Gomez, the coral and turquoise chains on her arms had been torn off, and the colorful wide pleated fine flower skirt was torn.

"Urquidi, let me go, my father will not forgive you."

"Haha, I saw everything, what you did with Father Jose Terreros, why are you pretending to be a chaste woman in front of me?"

"You are talking nonsense, let me go! Ah..."

Tear...

Salma's skirt was torn off again.

"Ah..."

Salma continued to scream.

Urquidi Gomez had a fierce look on his face, and was about to take further action, but was suddenly hit on the head from behind, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.

Salma first saw a row of white and dense teeth, and then the smiling face of the foreigner.

He was holding a hard dry corn cob.

Just now he hit Urquidi Gomez on the head with this thing.

She breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately the man rescued her with a corn cob.

Just as she was about to speak, she saw the stranger unbuckling his belt and said, "Haha, now it's my turn."

Salma: "..."
