The buildings of Winlun Castle loom in the rain, and although it always rains, the air quality here is still very average. Although it was the private domain of the Duke of Winlun. However, due to industrialization, the surrounding factories are helpless against the air.

Of course, the Duke and his family didn't know much about it. Mademoiselle Duchess Winlun was very fond of this rainy and misty day, and she was in a cheerful mood, and she always visited the palace where Duke Robert lived several times a day.

Two maids took up a huge square pink umbrella and sent Miss Duchess to Duke Robert's palace. Miss Duchess had to do most of her daily work with the help of a maid, but today she was holding a jar of Chinese porcelain herself.

The jar contained pieces of freshly ground beef from her with Robert's two kittens. Hold the jar and feed the kittens yourself.

The kittens were jumping up and down in the gold and ivory-encrusted cages, clutching the lattice with their tender paws and calling softly, and they were clearly fond of the Duchess.

Miss Duchess half-squatted, feeding the kittens, while chatting with Duke Robert:

"They're so cute, aren't they? I didn't expect that we still have such a common hobby, and we have enough affinity for small animals. I have a couple of horses, and dogs, and a species you would never guess, and it would be a bit presumptuous to bring them on a visit. Of course, if the Duke was willing to visit them, it would be a great honor. ”

The white and plump hands grabbed the ground beef directly, and the kittens were so anxious to grab the beef that it made a mess, so that some of the tender soup splashed on the corners of her huge puffy skirt.

Robert was already a little impatient:

"Don't feed it. Got all the clothes dirty. ”

Mademoiselle Duchess stood up and took a cloth towel from the maid to wipe her hands:

"Speaking of clothes, there is a newly invented Chinese fabric these days. Very popular that! Grandpa also brought some to me and was making clothes. ”

The radio signal circles the earth eight times a second, and if you use an airplane, counting the time for transferring flights and changing oil, three days from Shanghai to London is enough.

So Miss Duke was one of the first nobles to get Chinese fabric.

"Actually, I thought if I could make some Chinese style clothes out of Chinese fabrics. It's also interesting. I heard that the Countess of Lubutt is from Eastern China. I hope she can come and help me refer to it. Can I invite her? ”

The marriage of the nobility was a transaction between two families, and the current Countess of Lublt was an important concubine of the Duke's family. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a more intimate relationship.

Robt shook his head:

"Of course you can send invitations, but the friendship of the ladies. I'm still not going to get involved. ”

Mademoiselle Duchess stared at him with her eyes, and every freckle on her face glowed:

"Would you like to go see my little animals together?"

She quickly changed the subject.

Duke Robert shook his head:

"I'm honored, but I don't seem to have much time today."

It was very timely like rain, and the chief steward of Duke Wenlun came over. Invite Duke Robert over, and the old guys' sofa salon conversation began again.

Since it's grandpa's big deal. Mademoiselle Duchess had no choice but to bow very regretfully.

At the salon rally of the top aristocratic rulers, the old guys are expressing their dissatisfaction with many countries.

"France is nothing more than a monkey raised by a cow!"

"Germany is like a gorilla with its claws chopped off!"

"These cows are raising cows that are competing with us in the industrial market."

"After opium could not be used as a major profitable commodity, Britain seemed to have fewer and fewer products to offer. The best of all is some textile machines. ”

"Finance is also becoming less and less profitable. Investing in railroads, they dared to talk to me about the 80-year return cycle. ”

"Robert is here, this young man is really our pride!"

"I've read all the newspapers, well done. Attaboy! ”

Economic calculations, public opinion guidance. Legal guarantees. Robert seems to be about to finish China completely, and this is a rising and talented political star.

……

At a time when the rain in England was enveloping the whole of Winlun Castle. The bright sunshine of Shanghai shines on the entire Taohuaju. Zhang Meixi finished eating the fruit. Wu Jiushan scrambled to transport the fruit bowl back to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves again, turned on the brass faucet, and began to clean the plates.

After a while, Apricot also came over to discuss dinner with the cook Aunt Zhang, and when she saw Wu Jiushan doing so energetically, she couldn't help but quip:

"I was about to ask what kind of official this president of the Textile Guild was, and he didn't have a salary. Why do you want this Governor Wu to wash dishes here. ”

Wu Jiushan's face was a little flushed, and he arched his hand:

"Sister Kyoko teased."

The expression on Apricot's face suddenly changed from banter to seriousness:

"There should be a lot of important work to be busy with in textiles, right?"

There is too much important work on the textile, and just those textile factory owners, big bosses, each of whom can say a few polite words, can speak for several days in a row. What's more, they are all problematic, so it is impossible to deal with them in a year.

Coordination between plants, allocation of new resources. Deal with the bosses' banquets. I always have to show up once in a hundred times, and it is not in line with the national conditions of the Republic of China if I am too impersonal.

In such a situation where eight heads were too busy, Wu Jiushan actually washed dishes in the kitchen of Taohuaju.

Seeing that Apricot Zi's expression was stern, Wu Jiushan also followed with a stern expression, he bowed again, and replied seriously:

"Although the work in the industry is busy, the key is to obey the command of the gentleman, so in the end, the work of washing dishes must be ranked first."

An ordinary child who grew up in a down-and-out small landlord family in a water town can quickly grow into a president of the industry, holding the hope of hundreds of thousands of bosses and workers. Wu Jiushan is actually not an all-round talent. But he is the one who can grasp the key points the most.

In the chaotic flowers almost confuse people's eyes, at the peak of life's triumphant horseshoe raised.

Wu Jiushan knew very well where his foundation came from.

This alone is enough to ensure that in this life, he will be the dragon and phoenix among a person, and a person in the core of power.

Apricot finished arranging dinner, and went upstairs to tell Wu Jiushan what she had just said.

On Tuesday, the young master snorted coldly with his nose:

"It's so easy to wash the dishes, he really thinks about it. In the past two days, it's time for the big task of the machine to come down. ”

After saying this, the young master looked at his third brother again:

"Always get some useless little tricks to please people."

On Tuesday, the young master never did his daily work himself. Unlike Wednesday, the young master is the most attentive and caretaker.

Zhang Meixi waved her hand and pulled the topic back:

"Yes, mechanical things, almost."
