In Zurich, he became a Swiss citizen, bought a manor by the lake, set up a continental steel company, and played the two tricks of the Bank of Zurich and the Swiss Stock Exchange.

In August, Downing finally couldn't hold back his lovesickness for London, the central city of the world and his old friends, and returned to London with Alexandre Dumas. According to the original trajectory of history, Hugo at this time should have "enjoyed" his exile life in British Jersey, but thanks to the combined power of the British Telegraph Company and Reuters, it was now easy to transmit the contents of the newspaper back to France in London, and with the funding of Downing, Hugo is now in London, using the latest French typesetting technology of the Telegraph printing house to print his "La Repubblica".

Britain is a constitutional monarchy, and it is still taboo to be a "republic", and it is for this reason that Belgium was arranged with a king. Fortunately, Hugo only wrote the newspaper, and there was Downing as the big backstage, and the British government did not interfere with him for the time being. Downing's trip to Europe to set up a factory this time is equivalent to giving a strong warning to the British government, and if he is suppressed again, I am afraid that his intention to go will be more resolute. This man is the most famous scientist and industrialist in Britain today, and if he were gone, even the British Empire would feel shameless.

**Lancey, like most countries in Europe, is in a period of rising national power thanks to the blessing of the Industrial Revolution, even if it is Louis? Napoleon's dictatorship and prosperity also concealed the truth that Prussia was slowly catching up with its excellent education. In addition to the gold, Louis had the support of the majority of the French people, and Hugo's republican appeal was weak. After the French Revolution in 1848, the number of newspapers in France swelled to hundreds, and after Louis's successful dictatorship, there were only 14 left.

The best businessmen don't talk about politics, and Downing doesn't want his business to be restricted in France, so his support for Hugo is carried out in secret, but unfortunately, Louis's spies have long found out that he has a close relationship with the exiles, and the Telegraph originally published English and French editions in Paris, all of which were based on the principle of not reporting events, and they were all banned. Reuters has also gone underground in France, and its influence has been curtailed. If it weren't for the high demand, even the British telegraph company would have been banned.

Downing naturally will not be polite to France, and the steel sold to France by British Steel is the most expensive, and the priority is at the bottom.

With the exception of Paris, Lyon and other major cities, the British telegraph company was not allowed to open outlets elsewhere, and Lionel, who held a 25% stake in BT like Downing, took the opportunity to ask Downing to relinquish his position as president so that BT could further expand its business. The directors sent by the government tended to agree with Lionel's proposal, which gave them 50% of the voting rights, and the government also had a golden veto, and Downing had to co-opt all the other shareholders to contend with it, while Rawlinson and Samuel were both staunchly supportive of Downing, who had a 45% stake, and the 5% of the Indian governors were more ambiguous and the focus of contention.

Lionel made a killer move, revealing that Downing had been critical of what the Viceroy of India had done in India on more than one occasion, and that he should not be blinded by the purchase of his 5% stock. This is not a rumor, the Cabinet's Indian Control Committee is the immediate boss of the Viceroy of India, and they specifically sent a question to the Governor about the Governor's Heirless Loss of Power Act, which is a good plan to open up territory for the British Empire, but requires that the number of Indians in the army be controlled, just in case.

Originally, the Viceroy of India was the most prominent feudal official of the British Empire, and some Governors even married more than a dozen beautiful Indian ladies, and the blessings were boundless. New hatred and old hatred come together, Dalhousie is ready to give Downing a blow, so he is on Lionel's side, and Downing, who has just returned to London, suffers a smack and must resign as president of BT!

After the board of directors made a resolution, Downing summoned five engineers who knew the secrets of core manufacturing that night and quietly sent them to Zurich, without whom BT would not be able to build a new telegraph.

A week later, at repeated urgings from government representatives, Downing finally resigned and then ...... BT lay on its stomach and could not regenerate new wireless telegraphs.

The news of the civil war in the British Telegraph Company soon made the headlines of The Times, and public opinion was buzzing at once.

Lionel had anticipated Downing's "death throes" and soon organized a team of lawyers to sue him for damage to the company's interests.

Louis took the opportunity to ask Downing to stop funding Hugo and other republicans, and the combination of local tyrants and Hugo made even the great dictator a little afraid.

To the hearts of the exiles, Downing did not give up on them, but only comforted them, saying that even if he had no income from now on, the funds needed to support them against the dictatorship would be more than enough.

The most perverted point of BT is their rental business model, so that they can still collect more than a million pounds a year without a new machine leaving the factory, so the shareholders are not very anxious about the current situation, they are waiting to see a good show, financiers vs. industrialists, I don't know how to win or lose?

When the victory or defeat is not decided, the big industrialist has a new product released, and the bicycle factory production line designed by him has been established!

Yes, it's not invented, but the production lines are built.

The bikes before them weren't practical because they didn't invent the most important thing – the flywheel. Without this good thing, many designs had to increase the diameter of the drive wheels uncontrollably, so that many strange design drive wheels were so high that they made the rider feel dangerous. At least their designs always have one wheel big and the other small, which looks discordant, not to mention the beauty of the design.

The use of flywheels allows the bicycle to design the rim size in an aesthetically pleasing size, and the use of a one-way drive chain greatly improves the riding speed. When speed goes up, the brakes come in handy, as does pneumatic tire technology for shock absorption and material savings.

Designed specifically for women, the Seer's ground-close frame allows women to get on the bike in long dresses, and this marketable line is the ultimate in modern bicycle functionality. It even has bells!

In September, the crisp autumn season in the UK, the Telegraph, which has always been a trendsetter in technology, announced this revolutionary means of transportation, not saying what it was at the time, but inviting newspaper reporters and citizens with leisure time to visit the proving ground in North Wick Park on Sundays and holidays to experience the latest means of transportation made up by our great inventor Baron Buckingham.

Until this moment, most of Downing's inventions are not very related to the lives of ordinary people, telegrams, which cannot be sent a few times a year, typewriters, rich companies can only be used for secretarial work, steel, and the original iron is not fundamentally different, medical equipment has saved many lives, but ordinary people do not go to the hospital if they have nothing to do. It wasn't until the advent of the newly designed bicycle that his new invention was closely related to human life.

Thousands of young masters and ladies who had a lot of leisure skills admired the name of the number one inventor in the United Kingdom, and looked curiously at the long row of mysterious vehicles covered by red cloth.

Tang Ning kept a low profile, watched from the sidelines, and motioned for his assistants to start. So, Assistant No. 1 lifted the red curtain and shouted that this thing called a bicycle could be three or four times faster than walking, and that it would take the same amount of effort as walking. Believe it? Don't believe in yourself to give it a try.

The galvanized wheels, wires, and body paint are all silver, which looks pretty good, and it has a name that makes the British waver: Knights of the Round Table. This is the highest-ranking knight under King Arthur in English medieval legend.

Most of the audience began to line up for a test drive, 100 people each time, and more than 30 staff members were on the side to assist the young masters and young ladies to get started. The audience in line watched the clumsy novices on the road from outside the guardrails, and from time to time burst into hearty laughter. The clever little knights have already begun to fly solo, and some geniuses have already known how to pluck the bell!

"It's fast, it's comfortable, it's cheap!" That's the headline that Foster, the editor-in-chief of the Daily News after watching and test-driving the Knights of the Round Table, wrote for his newspaper.

A respected tailor in the west of England would need to spend about two pounds a week to support his wife and four children, who had little income. （http：／／.）。 The Knights of the Round Table were a modes of transport for just £1 a year, and anyone with a modicum of serious work could afford it.

To illustrate what the £1 means, compare it with the value of the pound in 2000, which in the 1850s was equivalent to £77 in 2000. A bicycle can be bought, and it's not unimaginably cheap. Downing, who likes to use the rental method, will naturally provide better services for such a business model - bicycle parking spots in public places, inflatable points, and old men and women on duty; Free maintenance once a month, all minor faults are solved, cleaned, oiled, kept in the best condition, and the old goods that are more than three years old are dismantled and recycled at a rate to ensure that all bicycles running on the road are new cars within three years. Recycling can reduce the cost of raw materials and be environmentally friendly, which is the biggest reason why Downing is happy to rent out. The car you use is still the one you use when you return from the monthly overhaul, which guarantees the interests of the customer and makes the customer love his Round Table Knights as much as they love their belongings.

On the first day, all 300 bicycles were snatched up by enthusiastic young masters, young ladies, and working-class people who loved novelty and spare energy, and they only had to pay a deposit of 3 pounds and sign a one-year contract to ride the bikes, and the contract book had a beautifully printed flyer from the Riders of the Round Table Bicycle Company, using the finest color printing of the time, in addition to the beautiful photos of the body, but also printed with the Knights of the Round Table vow:

Never rage and murder

Never betray

Never be cruel and give forgiveness to those who ask for forgiveness

Always give assistance to the lady

Never coerce ladies

Never get involved in a fight for love or the benefit of words
