Durin had rested for less than four hours before he was woken up, and the butler told him that many people were eager to visit Mr. Durin and Ophelia and their common son as soon as possible.

The butler's use of the word "meet" and the addition of Toy was not a slip of the tongue.

In most people's minds, there are only three people who can represent a family, the first of whom is the pioneer.

The pioneer has gained merit through his own efforts or the opportunity to move to a higher level through flattery, and no matter what people think of him while they were alive, he can represent the family in the days to come, whether the family is strong or declining.

The second person is the contemporary head of the family, such as Magus of the Timamont family, and Kubal and so on, who can represent a family is not because they are very famous and have very terrible feats.

In fact, now Magus includes the achievements of others, and after their deaths, at best, they will leave a mark in history as "great people", and soon people will forget about them, and after his death he will not be able to represent the Timamont family.

What makes him represent the Timamont family is not his exploits and achievements, but his family's identity.

The third is the first in line of succession.

The first heir in line to the throne of a family can often already make a statement on behalf of the family behind him when he reaches adulthood, and his statement, his promise, is like the statement and commitment of the head of the family for the nobles and the big family.

Even if it was a false statement or a false promise, the family behind him would admit it and pay the price.

Because the first heir in line is not in the case of scandals like some heirs fighting each other, it can be said that the first heir is destined to become the head of the next generation.

His promise was only a slight advance of his power decades later, but only partially.

These three types of people can represent a family, if Doolin represents a new family from the southwest on the road to rise, then Toy represents a new hegemonic family after the merger of an emerging power and an old power.

In a way, in the aristocratic social system, Toy Kersma surpassed Doolin in value, importance, and power that he would have access to in the future, even though the child had been born less than twenty-four hours ago.

So people are very serious about using a more serious word like "meet" as a wording, and they are not using the wrong word, it is just a rule.

Durin rubbed his eyes and rolled over and sat up from the hospital bed, I have to say that sometimes it is a very rare experience to sleep in a different bed.

The hospital bed was not soft, it was very hard, but sleeping on it had an indescribable sense of security, so much so that Durin lay on it and fell asleep before he had time to think about something.

He was now in great spirits, patted his cheek and went into the bathroom, and after a short time of grooming, he quickly came out, changed his clothes, and walked outside, while telling the butler to tidy up the prayers, and he would receive the most important guests in the evening.

"Sir, and the Orientals......"

Du Lin's footsteps paused, and he glanced at the butler with some surprise, "Oriental?"

The butler stopped slightly behind Durin's side, emphasizing Durin's dominance between the two sides, and he bowed his head and said yes, "Oriental, sir, one of the self-proclaimed stewards of the 'Rising Sun Firm' has come to pay his respects to you. ”

Du Lin thought about it, the rising sun should be sunrise or east rise, this kind of name is somewhat inappropriate in the eastern society that is still obviously in the feudal society, with Du Lin's perception of those ancient emperors in another world, these names may be taboo anytime and anywhere.

After thinking for a moment, he asked the butler to arrange that he would see the steward in the afternoon, and he was curious that the people of the East would have something to say to him.

Ophelia was really tired yesterday and is still sleeping, and the nurse said that the girl got up and fed the child once, and the mother and son have been sleeping until now.

Durin peered through the glass window and left, with a lot to attend to around Ophelia's birth and Thoy's birth.

In the afternoon, he met guests from the East at Henry's manor, which had been renovated to resemble a fairytale castle, with conspicuous colors and exaggerated art styles that were not very suitable as a place to receive people.

It just so happened that Henry sent a manor over, and Durin didn't shirk and immediately received it, he thought that it might be a deliberate arrangement by Mr. Knight, like this kind of industry tycoon who has lived all his life and has not died of old age, and can still call the wind and rain, all of them are human spirits.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the shopkeeper of Dongsheng Trading House appeared in Du Lin's new manor, and he was accompanied by only two people, a man and a woman, both of whom were not very old.

They wear clothes with oriental characteristics, very easy to identify, with the closer and closer exchanges between the east and the west, the curiosity of the society about the orient has also entered an explosive period, you can see some products with oriental characteristics everywhere in hot sales, some ladies with good figure are also willing to wear oriental style clothes to go out, in the last two years, it seems that anything related to the orient has become a trend.

This shopkeeper - when he introduced himself later, Durin learned that this shopkeeper's surname was Du, and his name was Dupen, and Durin didn't know if this was his real name or a translated name.

He did not reveal his ability to understand and speak Oriental languages, but fortunately, the shopkeeper of Du Pont spoke fluent lingua franca, he was always smiling when he spoke, his tone was gentle, every word was pronounced very accurately, and the speed of speech was not fast, which could easily make people have a good initial impression of him.

"Mr. Doolin, the first thing I need to do is to congratulate you, I have heard that your and your lady's child has been born safely, and it is wonderful, and for that I have brought some gifts to you, your lady and your child. He has some unusual expressions when he expresses them, although this cannot be said that he is wrong, but it always makes people feel a little funny, or novel.

He took a gift slip with gold paint on a red background from the boy next to him, held the scroll of the gift list with one hand, and the back of his hand turned up with the other, and the hand that grabbed the scroll of the gift list was dragged like this, and the gift list was stretched between his hands, "Please look at ......"

It is not a square word, it has been replaced by a common word in the West, and I have to say that this is a very valuable gift list, there are ninety-nine nuts made of various gold weighing a pound alone, and this is not counting some other precious things.

Durin nodded and said thank you, he was not polite, this is not the habit of Westerners, and at the same time he was very curious in his heart, what do they want for such a valuable gift?

Orientals are strange, and almost everyone who knows a little bit about Orientals knows this, they refuse to open up their homeland on a large scale, but they are very enthusiastic about cultural exchanges between the two sides.

It is said that they have purchased a lot of patents and authorized them to go back to the East, but in view of the unfamiliarity of people with the East and the lack of perfect supervision channels to supervise whether the use of these patents in the East is in accordance with the law, the price of each license is very high, but these cannot stop the Oriental people from buying and buying.

They brandished all sorts of gold products in exchange for everything they needed, and most of the civil and industrial technologies were bought back by them, except for some high-tech technologies that were not sold.

Did they do this to start an industrial revolution?

Dühring doesn't think so, the form of a society wants to change, it can't be done by relying on huge changes in a short period of time, it requires a long cumulative process, they can't immediately let the society enter the period of the industrial revolution, let alone shake the rule of the feudal dynasty, this is what Doolin is most curious about, what exactly do they want to do.

After a moment of trance and coming back to his senses, Dupont's hand loosened, the scroll slowly retracted, and he put the gift slip back in the box and pushed it to Dorin's side.

Durin handed the gift list to the butler, who would then arrange for someone to take the gift list to check whether the gifts were consistent with the list on the gift list.

"Very shocking gift list, I don't know how much it's worth, but I've seen your sincerity, what can I help you with?", Dulin said very bluntly, Dupen couldn't know how much he really knew about Eastern culture, so "stupid" Westerners and their "stupid" straightforwardness can sometimes have a very good effect.

Du Peng pursed his lips and smiled, this guy is very charming, he looks like he is in his thirties, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a very reliable feeling, and there is an indescribable sense of righteousness and righteousness.

He lowered his head slightly, then looked up at Durin again and asked a question, "Mr. Durin, we are also human, but we have been treated very unfairly just because of some changes in appearance, do you think this is reasonable?"

Dupont's opening remarks stunned Dürin for a moment, because he smelled a hint of "premeditation" in it, and the technique with which he spoke, the way he spoke, and the content of the sentence were clearly carefully choreographed.

It hits the heart of what can be said to be the core of Doolin - he is not the mainstream of society, but the Gualt.

This will make Durin naturally have some affection for Dupen, whether he thinks this sentence is correct or not, it is difficult to prevent the closeness from the same fate.

It will always be difficult for minorities to obtain real fairness in society, not that false fairness, but just fairness!

Dupon looked at Dupon, and Dupon met Dupon's gaze without fear and smiled at each other.

In fact, behind the Dongsheng Commercial House is the royal family of the Great Qin Empire, as Du Peng, who was sent to the Western Continent to be the governor, discovered a problem, these barbarians in the West are not as ignorant as recorded in the past documents, Ru Mao drinks blood, barbaric and unreasonable.

Their society has a unique form, and more importantly, the scientific and technological civilization of the West is obviously far superior to the scientific and technological development of the East, so the task given by the royal family to Du Pon is to reproduce some technology to the East as much as possible, and cultivate a group of "scientists" belonging to the East in the East.

However, the problem is that those ordinary patented technologies are easy to buy, and once it comes to some core patented technologies, these people grit their teeth and refuse to let go, and they are unwilling to sell no matter how much money they give.

This made Du Pon very nerve-wracking, this time he heard that Du Lin's child was born, and he took this opportunity to visit Du Lin, if he could communicate with those merchants through Du Lin, it might be much more convenient.

Whether it is East or West, the manifestations of power may be different, but the essence will always be the same, unique and exclusive.

Dupont chose the upper course quite right, but he underestimated two things.

The first thing is that high-tech patents mean the profit point of a company, a group in the next five to twenty years, and they will only sell these things cheaply if they are crazy.

The second thing is that the wisdom of the people in this land has been passed down for a long time, such as "if we have different hair colors, different eye colors, different skin colors, even if we have red blood flowing in our blood, we cannot prove that we are of the same race", and the wariness of outsiders has never stopped.

The things he was able to buy were actually patents that were about to be obsolete.

Du Lin did not give a clear answer to Du Peng, this is in conflict with his own interests, Du Peng can't give him what he wants, but it will block his way forward, unless the other party can come up with something that makes Du Lin's heart move, otherwise this is also their first and last meeting.

After sending Dupon away, Dupin made a phone call to the Social Services Bureau to ask, and they were also in charge of patent registration, and they quickly communicated with Dupin on this issue to ensure that important technology would not leak out.

Everyone can see that the Oriental people are very ambitious!

From the time Dupont was sent away, a steady stream of visitors from Dupon's side began to appear, and they were mostly in the same process, saying a few nice words to Dörin, and then sitting down to talk about the recent weather, whether there were any fish in the nearest river, and whose dog had been lost recently.

Then he dropped a lot of gifts and got up to say goodbye, not talking about more substantive things, after all, this is also a ritual process.

And the more ceremonial stuff will be when Durin baptizes Toy, which is the most crucial thing in the whole thing.

Since he came to the imperial capital, he couldn't help but see Mags, and Durin asked for a car after dinner in the evening, without informing Kubal, and went to the institute where Mags was being treated.
