Chapter 19: Claire and Bernie
To Di Wenchang's surprise, when entertaining Claire and the others, Chen Changxing also appeared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Dressed in white, this is the first time Di Wenchang has seen him appear in front of everyone as the head of the house.
He knew that it might be what he said to him a few days ago that made Chen Changxing's thoughts different.
Chen Changxing didn't want to have a long talk with foreigners, just a few polite words, and left under the pretext of having something.
This is a small episode.
After more than ten minutes, the people who should have come came, and the people who shouldn't have been there also left, and no one bothered.
Fang Zijing walked over and closed the door.
In the entire huge lobby, only Di Wenchang, Fang Zijing, Claire and Bernie remained.
Di Wenchang didn't have too much politeness, and directly asked the East India Company if it could make a detour of the railway. The old god Claire was there, but she didn't answer, and Bernie laughed and didn't say anything.
Then Di Wenchang cut directly to the point and said some of the knowledge of new railway technologies he found before the crossing, including more efficient laying of railways, railway maintenance, and even train power problems.
Fang Zijing and Claire were shocked.
Bernie, as the chief engineer of the East India Company, was horrified!
Only he knew that in the world now, there was no country that had proposed such a novel technology on the surface, which was why Bernie didn't believe it after hearing that Di Wenchang had returned from studying in the United States.
The world's first train was invented by British engineers, and at this time, the United States had no more advanced train technology.
Bernie was shocked and confused. Could it be that the United States really has such a high level of technology?
Of course, that's not the point.
Now the focus is on how to get these technologies.
"Just like a famous saying in your country, it is better to listen to your words than to read a book for ten years. ”
At this time, Bernie already felt that the trip was worthwhile, and couldn't help but learn a Chinese proverb.
He and Claire glanced at each other, and the eagerness in their hearts was overflowing, and even Fang Zijing on the side showed obvious joy on his face.
Regardless of whether this thing is successful or not, and what kind of deal the two sides reach, he, as a matchmaker, will benefit from it.
Di Wenchang didn't care, as a descendant of the dragon, it was impossible for him to give all the technology to the East India Company.
Even if the Qing Dynasty is rotten now, his idea is to sort out a more detailed document and send it to Prince Dun after a while.
No matter what the result is, it can be regarded as a comfort in my heart. Even if the Qing Dynasty is destroyed, sooner or later, this technology will have a fever, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the descendants of Yan and Huang.
Next.
The atmosphere of the conversation between the two sides was more harmonious, and Fang Zijing served tea and water on the side, but he didn't care at all.
As the conversation continued, and all sorts of strange things kept coming out of Di Wenchang's mouth, Bernie was already on his knees, and if he had been a pure technician, and not as one of the top executives of the East India Company, he would have already fallen on his knees.
"In general, that's all there is to the technology. Di Wenchang drank a cup of coffee beautifully, without a trace of modern pollution, and the taste was very pure.
"......" the three were speechless.
That's all? But the three people who were shocked didn't say anything.
Because.
The most critical question.
"That'...... I wonder how Mr. Di will hand over the technology to our East India Company?"
It was Claire who spoke, and her voice was soft and nice.
If Bernie is the technical advisor to today's conversation, then she is the negotiator, and both know that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
"There's no rush on this. Di Wenchang shook his head gently.
Immediately Bernie was in a hurry, thinking that he was unwilling to give them the technology.
Bernie hurriedly signaled to Claire, in short, there was one in his eyes, no matter what the solution, you can do it yourself, anyway, you must get this technology.
Claire knew what was at stake, nodded vaguely, and said, "That's ......"
"I said there was no need to worry. Di Wenchang interrupted Claire.
Pointing to Fang Zijing on the side, he said, "All the future affairs will be left to Brother Zijing to discuss with me, I will write my request to the treaty, and Brother Zijing will contact your company again." ”
In less than three months, he is leaving, and before that, he has to lay out a good situation and try his best to leave some way back for Chen Jiagou and Yang Luchan.
Fang Zijing is this back road.
Fang Zijing sat quietly on the side, never thinking that Di Wenchang would hand over such an important matter to him.
Fang Zijing looked excited, "Mr. Di......"
He knew that with this bargaining chip, the matter of taking money from the East India Company to buy officials was also successfully completed.
"Brother Zijing, I believe in you. Di Wenchang looked at him and nodded seriously, "I'll discuss it with you when I've thought about it." ”
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
……
Things went quite smoothly, and regarding the terms, Di Wenchang also discussed with Chen Changxing in the afternoon.
On the morning of this day, the entire Chenjiagou knew that Di Wenchang, a young man of unknown origin, was willing to help Chenjiagou and let the train be rerouted from the mountain one kilometer away, for which the young man would pay a lot of bargaining chips.
The next day, Chen Zaiyang came back, and like the original plot, his wife Yun'er also came back.
For Yun'er, Di Wenchang was very curious.
Yuna's actor won the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actress very early, and she is not very famous, but she is very beautiful and has acted in many movies.
is worthy of being a model, and the figure is good!
Because Chen Zhiyang came back this time in order to find investment, although he hesitated for two days, but in the end he thought of his dream, and after thinking about it, he decided to go back to Chenjiagou.
In this way, the plot of Chen Zhiyang relying on martial arts clothes to pretend to be a martial arts master in the original play is gone.
Chen Zhiyang came back this time, and Chen Yuniang, who had a cold face, showed a rare smile.
Di Wenchang found him as soon as possible, agreed on the conditions that the technology must be handed over to him after he succeeded, signed the treaty, and gave him 20,000 taels of silver tickets.
The treaty also added an article asking Chen Zhiyang to tailor a martial arts suit for him, and at the same time pack the technology.
Chen Zhiyang readily agreed, and Di Wenchang was the first person to recognize his martial arts suit.
Signing the treaty, Di Wenchang's purpose is not actually to Chen Zhiyang's flying technology, that backward technology has long been eliminated, and now he casually comes up with a little idea, and it is estimated that he will be shocked by Chen Zhiyang.
The technique of the martial arts suit may be even more valuable.
Thinking that the two had just met, in order not to make Chen Zhiyang suspicious, he thought of the method of the former treaty.
Before meeting Chen Zhiyang, he had the idea of telling him about modern aircraft technology.
But suddenly I thought that in the later plot, in fact, his flying machine was almost successful, so I put this idea aside for the time being.
This technology is too advanced, if you tell Chen Zaoyang, this machine manufacturing fan, it is estimated that he will tear down the one he is developing now and rebuild it.
Then his idea of making Chen Zhiyang stand out will not work for the time being, after all, in this era, it takes too much time and energy to build such a machine.
Di Wenchang didn't know if Chen Zaiyang had any communication with Chen Changxing, and the next morning, Chen Zaiyang and Yun'er left in a hurry.
