Chapter 22: Marino Labs opens
Six days later, Marino ushered in the town's most solemn day of the year, the experimental center on the shores of Lake Albano was illuminated, and the carriage at the door made many people sigh that they had never seen so many big people in their lives.
I didn't see Master Orke, who was the mayor of the town, standing at the door and nodding to people, and as the town's Sheriff Jalek, who was also leading his people, he kept directing the incoming carriage to stop. Such a sight made the rest of the town dare to watch from a distance, and dare not step forward at all.
After a while, a carriage guarded by a group of knights appeared, and its carriage was decorated with a red background and a white cross with a crown badge that was unusually conspicuous, which made the townspeople excited.
"It's coming, it's all ready."
As a sheriff, Jalek hurriedly gave orders to his subordinates, but in fact, his subordinates were already preparing to meet them with the best posture.
That's right, inside the carriage was Carlo, who wasn't in the mood to pay attention to Sergeant Jalek and his subordinates right now. Faced with almost the entire core of Italian politics rushing over, he felt a lot of pressure. No matter how you look at it, this time it doesn't meet his low-key expectations at all.
He would not have faced such a situation, and it was impossible for him to back down.
After giving himself confidence, Carlo got out of the carriage.
"Greetings to Your Majesty."
After Carlo got out of the carriage, the scene was full of congratulations.
"Thank you for coming to Marino for the opening of the Electrical Research Center."
After replying to everyone at the scene, Carlo immediately stepped forward and said to Prime Minister Cairoli at the front. "It is a great honour for the Prime Minister to be here in his busy schedule to open today."
"Where, this is all the credit of Your Majesty. Previously, the government did not think well of the role of R&D centers. ”
After all, after the government's refusal, the royal family paid for it and repaired it, no matter how you look at it, it is a slap in the face of the government, especially as the prime minister.
But Carlo didn't think that way, it's not that he didn't want to, and he couldn't.
At present, the power is in the government, and he does not want and does not want to have too stiff relations with the government, which is not beneficial to anyone. Someone does it to the detriment of others and self-interest, and there are also people who do it to harm others and benefit themselves, but there are absolutely no people who harm others and self-harm, and now Carlo is somewhat politically conscious, of course he will not do this.
Moreover, the Prime Minister has shown favor several times before, coupled with his personal visit this time, Carlo is no longer so emotional.
After chatting with the prime minister for a few words, Carlo immediately spoke to the old man who was a little bowed on the side. "Mr. de Pretis, it is a pleasure for Your Excellency to be here in person."
Carlo still has great respect for this old man who has served as prime minister twice. This is an old man in politics, and he is likely to help himself in the future, so he can't be careless.
"Your Majesty's move is to strengthen Italy's R&D strength, which is a very good promotion for the kingdom, so I very much approve of Your Majesty's move."
De Pretis's words made many people look sideways, because almost everyone present knew that the previous prime minister deliberately snubbed His Majesty's proposal, and Depretis's words had the meaning of slapping the prime minister in the face.
So many people showed playful expressions, intending to see what happened next.
But the next situation disappointed them, and His Excellency the Prime Minister said with a smile. "Mr. de Pretis is right, His Majesty's move is to enhance Italy's scientific and technological research and development, and the government is very supportive of this. Therefore, I think the government can bear part of the follow-up research funding. ”
"It's a good idea, and I'm here to thank the government for its generosity."
The conversation between the three disappointed 1 and the other people who were ready to eat melons, and there was no picture of them getting their wish, but a stable and peaceful situation.
The prime minister was not angry at all, and the former prime minister had no follow-up, but the young king became a peacemaker, and the painting style looked weird. But no matter how weird the art style is, the next thing needs to be done.
I saw Carlo continue to greet the other arrivals one by one.
"Speaker Leslie, long time no see."
"Excellency Jagalli, how are you doing?"
"Mr. Gullitus............"
After greeting many people now, Carlo walked to the inside of the research center with the support of the prime minister and others, and Argos, who is the director of research and development, has now had the opportunity to walk to Carlo's side, although he is only the host.
"Your Majesty, we are ready, please come with me."
The selection of the person in charge of the R&D center has delayed a lot of time. There are simply not many suitable candidates in Italy, and those who study electrical are basically lone rangers, and it is very difficult to choose suitable candidates from a few students at most.
There is no good choice in China, so you can only look abroad, and after some screening, Argos, who is in charge of technical management at Siemens, came into sight.
This Argos can be the technical head of Siemens, at least he is capable, and he is also Italian, which adds a lot of points. Although there are no clear rules, it is certainly best to have an Italian person run the research center. So after some contact, the position of director of the R&D center was also settled.
"Gentlemen, today we have the honourable King to address our research center."
In front of many guests and future employees, Argos, as the director, of course, made a long story short, after all, the big people are pressed for time, and they don't have so much spare time to listen to his tirade.
As Argos's words fell, Carlo walked onto the stage to applause, looked at his gaze, and began to speak in the history books of the future.
"Good morning, gentlemen, and it is a great honour for me to have you in the midst of your busy schedules for this ceremony, not only for me but also for Italy. Some may ask why, but I tell you, because here is Italy's most hopeful thing. That's right, it's called hope, and who brought it, it was you, you scientists, who brought hope to Italy. Italy needs you to be rich and strong, so I hope you will work hard for Italy for a better tomorrow. ”
Carlo's words caused a round of applause and cheers from the audience, and no one did not like to boast about their words, especially the monarch. At this time, the others who were watching the ceremony applauded very appropriately.
"Your Majesty, very good speech, it will make everyone very motivated."
After Carlo stepped down, Tesla praised the king in front of him. He is very satisfied with his current life, he does not have to worry about life at all, he has a research life that he likes, and he has a king as a friend, which is simply flawless.
"Mr. Tesla, I'm just telling the truth."
After Carlo's speech, the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Education took the stage to speak, but their speeches were a little worse than Carlo's.
After the two finished talking, the Marino Electric Test Center officially began to work.
Carlo and a member of the government also returned to Rome, just in time for a friend to visit.
