Section 37 The group of owls gathered in Ping'an Town
"Oh, mygod" Alfred finally came back to normal, exhaling a cloudy breath as he nudged his uncle covertly. "Sean, you're such a devil, but a devil with a golden idea, I'm glad we're on the other side."
"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my gaffes. Alfred is right, your idea is simply brilliant, thank God you are an ally of the Montague family. If you don't mind, we have decided that this standard system is called the "Standard-Montague System". My family is willing to do everything in their power to implement this system in Europe, can you elaborate on your plans, otherwise I think my heart will hardly bear the temptation of this. ”
"Well, who made us allies?" I shrugged my shoulders and said, "My suggestion is this, we will first build factories I and II in Europe in France and England to produce three turns and one ring and some mechanical power units of my new invention, certainly not the steam engine invented by Mr. Watt, but a miniaturized internal combustion engine. Then we take the simple standard system end subsystem as an order and send it to our component manufacturers and ask them to use this standard system to produce parts for us, and of course we have to register all the patents that can be registered for the longest term. Imagine such a simple and clear manufacturing standard system, most workers do not need to learn to identify drawings in the future, can know how many parts to produce qualified products, the designer does not need to consider the size of every detail, he only needs to be familiar with the standard system, on the design drawing to indicate the use of a few parts, and even what kind of combination of molding parts to use, the difficulty of the design work is greatly reduced, the time is greatly shortened, and even you can catch a group of fledgling mechanical students to design, As long as they have a master engineer to grasp the progress and balance, they are likely to provide some molded combinations like handing over the job, and then there is a simple splicing and balance design, and a complex mechanical design can be completed like a carpenter's work. Can you imagine that once they had tried such a simple and efficient way of organizing production, they would be willing to go back to the old days of disorderly and procrastinated production, or relying on the inspiration of some eccentric mechanical maniac to design? So do they have a choice other than paying for our standard system to use? By the way, when more than half of the large industrial enterprises are using our "standard-Montague system", what do you think our alliance will look like in the market and in the minds of consumers? A supreme arbiter. This system is a symbol of standardization, fast and convenient life, our products are the best crystallization of this system, they would rather choose a fifteen pound British standard bicycle, and the Germans nine pounds and fifty pence imitation brand sneered, although the two products are almost the same in quality, but when consumers and manufacturers in their minds, our products are the authentic standard system, this brand effect ensures our profits, believe me when the time comes, you plan to reduce the price to please those consumers, They will all dismiss products that are reduced in price, and in everyone's mind, the standard is the best, and it is natural that it should be the most expensive. If we can always ensure the stability and reliability of product quality, then our monopoly on the high-end market will be indestructible. "After I said such a lot of words, hurry up and drink some chrysanthemum rock sugar tea to moisten my throat, Darjeeling is very right to fill face, and there is no way to moisten my throat.
"I gotta say Alfred is right, you're a real devil, a business Satan. Thank God for making us a gang. Winston's little heart was completely ignited, tearing off the gentleness of the English gentleman, "Your suggestion is simply a brilliant plan, I want to pray for our opponents, may they rest in peace, for their end is already doomed." Now I can't wait to perfect every detail of our alliance, and then return to England as soon as possible to embark on a great crusade to conquer the whole of England, France, and even the whole of Europe. ”
While we were eating the unpalatable maddening British's dinner, while discussing the details of cooperation, under our quarrels and compromises, at one o'clock in the morning, the English version of Du Niang's fingers and the Chinese version of our Miao brother's neat hairpin flower Xiaokai were born, of course, this also became an important moment in modern history in the future, but at that time I just wanted to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles to fill my stomach, and even did not hesitate to give up another 1.5% under Alfred's nonsense As Alfred and Victoria's wedding gift, of course, Alfred also paid nearly 5,000 pounds more for his private money, and the 5,000 pounds of income has been close to 1.2 million pounds a year thirty years later, with a 1.5% stake in the standard Montague system, Alfred, who is already a fifty-year-old, has never fallen out of the No.100 on the world wealth list. Of course, this is an afterthought, and I didn't expect that my bowl of Yangchun noodles would be worth tens of millions of pounds, which can be called the most expensive Yangchun noodles in history. The "Standard-Montague System" was born in Shanghai at the end of this century, and perhaps only after thirty or fifty years, when people have regarded regulating their products according to such a system as a subconscious behavior, will some people suddenly realize that this seemingly simple system is actually the most important development milestone of mankind in the first half of the twentieth century, and there is no one. After I wiped out two bowls of Yangchun noodles beautifully, when I went back to the hotel to rest with the excited Alfred and Brother Miao, another big event happened in Jinan Mansion thousands of miles away.
Time rewinds back to the afternoon of the same day, outside Ping'an Town in early winter under the warm sun, the farm work in the field is over, except for the little trowels who are beating pigweed and collecting firewood, there are no people in the field. But in a desolate depression, a group of men with hoes and shovels wrapped in torn cotton jackets are setting up pots and fires there, as if someone is going to have a big project, and occasionally the villagers passing by look twice to see that since it is not on their own fields, guess whose family is building a tomb while the farm is taking advantage of Nongxian, and no one wants to meddle in things. In the corner where no one noticed, Chen Chaogui, Chen Da Darthead, Zhu Honglan, Li Changshui, Xincheng Monk, and Yu Qingshui, who had just escaped, squatted in a stone gap, and Chen Da Dart distributed the troops observed in the past two days and explained to everyone, "According to the old man's observation, there are more than 150 guns in the old camp of the insurance regiment. Daguanyuan is a Luo Di Xiucai named Du Zicheng with more than 30 Tuan Ding and a few apprentices surnamed Han to defend, and the bodyguards of other shops are only about 30 people, and they may not come out to help. It's just that they bet money from time to time, sometimes once every three or two days, sometimes once a day, and the time is also uncertain, but most of them come out in the evening. So our plan is to let Senior Brother Meng, who came with me, take our local brothers from the Great Sword Society to bluff and attack Ping'an Town, and Ping'an Town will inevitably ask the merchant group for help, please ask Senior Brother Xincheng and Senior Brother Yu to ambush him on the road outside Ping'an Town, and take him by surprise, it is better to set fire to his den of thieves, and at the worst beat him to the point where he does not dare to show his head. Brother Li, Brother Zhu, Brother Wu Fangcheng, and I will leave to enter the city through the north gate now, and the brothers in the city will wait for the escort group to go and escort the silver. If they don't escort the silver today, let's wait for the fire in Ping'an, they panicked and hit the Daguan Garden, snatched the silver and walked from the west gate, and burned more shops before leaving. Wu Jingmin's brothers took people to ambush at the foot of Sili Mountain, and there were not many people, so they fired a few cold shots, lit a bonfire, and made a noise, anyway, they could drag the people of the new army out of the camp for a while and a half. Then the four groups of men and horses retreated separately, and the money was taken by us to a secret place, and the three families were divided according to what we had agreed. How is it? ”
A few dog heads couldn't make up better chops, so they gritted their teeth and just did it. Under the sun, piles of unkempt homeless people in torn cotton jackets seemed to come out of Ping'an Town and flow along the official road to the north and south sides of Jinan Mansion. Du Zi, who was on duty at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce in Daguanyuan, had nowhere to go, so he went to Wang Guangzu's Daguanyuan Hengdeli store to help, in fact, it was said to help, but the guys in the store knew that he was the niece and son-in-law of his own boss, and he was the confidant of the boss of the Chamber of Commerce. So when he went to the store, Du Zicheng was just a second uncle, and he went into the room with glasses to talk to Miss Wang. I don't know why today, Du Zicheng felt uneasy, Miss Wang Lan Xinhui, after a few words of greetings, accompanied Du Zicheng out to breathe, the two walked and walked and turned to the tower of the Chamber of Commerce, Miss Wang liked an iron box elevator installed on the tower, Du Zicheng naturally used his power Pomeranian smiled, the two simply sat from the first floor to the fifth floor, after watching the scenery from the half-exposed elevator window, the two came to the member area on the fifth floor of the Chamber of Commerce, Today, there are a few businessmen from Guangdong and Tianjin who are still talking about business with the members of the Jinan Chamber of Commerce, so Du Zicheng did not lead Miss Wang to the member area, but opened a small door opposite the elevator, revealing a section of iron stairs, in Miss Wang's surprised gaze, the two climbed hand in hand to the attic on the top floor, the area of the attic is actually not much smaller than downstairs, a few members of the fire brigade and security team on duty with binoculars saw Boss Du accompany his little daughter-in-law who did not pass the door to come up, naturally pretending to be a serious observation. Du Zicheng also disdains to expose the old bottom of these boys, anyway, on the top floor, they can peek at the female saleswoman in the store or the female customer on the street or something, and they can't make a big deal. Du Zicheng was pointing to Daming Lake in the distance and was explaining to Miss Wang beside her, Miss Wang just lowered her head and snickered, and a firefighter suddenly exclaimed, "Ah, boss, there are robbers." Du Zicheng didn't care about guessing Miss Wang's thoughts, so he hurriedly ran to the north-facing sentry post, picked up the binoculars and looked at the team's guidance, across the street from two streets, a small shop looked like a chubby woman who looked like a shopkeeper was pulling a piece of cloth, and the other end of the cloth was a man dressed in tattered homeless appearance, the two people obviously had an argument, but the man took out a ruler and a long machete in his hand and was waving at the female shopkeeper, probably stunned, the female shopkeeper actually forgot to let go, Another homeless person passing by shouted at him, the guy with the machete swung over, the cloth was split into two sections, and the female shopkeeper stumbled on a sturdy buttocks, as if he couldn't get up, the guy who got the cloth still didn't understand his hatred, kicked on the fat butt of the female shopkeeper, and then scolded and wrapped the cloth to catch up with the team, at this time Du Zicheng found that a group of homeless people were actually surging in the direction of the Grand View Garden. Du Zicheng immediately made a decision, rang the alarm bell, picked up the microphone on the desk, closed the electric switch of the stereo and shouted, "Attention to all departments, attention to all stores, there are homeless people robbing outside, please send customers off and close the store immediately, the guards of each store will help maintain order, and please close the gate immediately." He yelled as he pulled out the key and threw it to his men and made an eight-eight gesture, and the security team men understood, and quickly opened the lock and took out a Manlisa rifle with a monocular from the wall cabinet. The security team, fire brigade, and health team were in place, and the insurance team immediately copied the guys, and those homeless people dared to approach the Grand View Garden. Looking at Miss Wang, who was looking at him quietly, Du Zicheng couldn't help but feel pity, but at this time, he didn't care about falling in love, so he took out his spare left * wheel and put it in Miss Wang's hand. However, seeing Miss Wang looking at the gun in her hand with a wry smile, Du Zicheng remembered that he hadn't taught her how to use a gun yet. Forget it, I don't care about it, it's good to scare people in my hand. Du Zicheng asked all his teammates to go downstairs to support, he used a simple sniper rifle upstairs to snipe, and he could command the overall situation condescendingly, but when he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the large cloud of smoke rising from the direction of the old camp, the foreboding in his heart became even more intense. Could it be that someone is going to target the Chamber of Commerce, at this time Du Zicheng found that if the young proprietor was by his side, he would not feel panicked, it turned out that the smiling proprietor was the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce.
