33 runaway writers

said that Xingshi asked for guilt, but that was just a breath of resentment that Chen Muwu wanted to vent in his heart.

At the official residence in London, after actually meeting with the Duke of York, he still showed basic politeness.

Although he is angry with him now, maybe he will ask others in the future, Chen Muwu will definitely not be able to do this kind of thing indiscriminately and offend people first.

The invention of the seat belt came just in time for the strike in May.

At the time, Kapitsa was clamoring for a change of car to participate in the Cambridge University drag race, and the Duke of York sent someone to Trinity College to convey to Chen Muwu that he was supporting the strike, much to the displeasure of Buckingham Palace and 11 Downing Street.

Then Chen Muwu took the opportunity to go to London to attend the meeting alone, and at the Duke of York's private dinner, he proposed to give the invention of the seat belt to the newborn little princess.

Not long after the Duke of York's dinner, Chen Muwu started his journey back to China before Rolls-Royce could send someone to contact him.

So it is very likely that it was not the Duke of York who forgot about it and did not inform Rolls-Royce.

There is another situation, that is, the other party did want to meet with him, but because he left the UK, the matter was put on hold for the time being.

Chen Muwu always thinks of others very well, but the capitalists are not as kind as he imagined.

After meeting with the Duke of York, Chen Muwu first reported to the major investor of the Cavendish Laboratory that the particle accelerator had been built and that he had used the machine to complete the experimental verification of Einstein's mass-energy equation.

In order to show the importance of this experiment, Chen Muwu also specifically described that this is the first successful experiment in more than 20 years since Einstein put forward his theory.

Although the Duke of York's investment is a donation, Cavendish Laboratories is not a profitable company and does not pay dividends.

But the big donors had to see the results, and see that the money they were willing or unwilling to give, and that every shilling and every penny was spent.

Only in this way can they be more cheerful and generous in their future donations.

After reporting the results, Chen Muwu began to knock on the side very vaguely.

He first mentioned the little princess that the second prince's family had added this year, and he wanted to talk politely about the seat belt, but the Duke of York, who was a first-time father, took it seriously, and when he talked about his own children, there was an endless topic to talk about.

Chen Muwu didn't have so much time to listen to a father praising his daughter, so he finally found a gap in the Duke of York's words, and quickly inserted the question.

"Your Royal Highness the Duke, is there any follow-up progress on the gift I gave to the little princess before, the Elizabeth seat belt?"

Speaking of the name Elizabeth, Chen Muwu always felt a little funny in his heart.

Because he remembered that after the cat and dog were operated on in the pet hospital, the small animal also had a flare-shaped ring around its neck, which was called the Elizabeth ring.

There is a connection between the two Elizabeths, but not much.

The circle of shame for cats and dogs comes from the shape of the neck sleeves worn by the noble women of the upper echelons of the Elizabethan period to social occasions.

Elizabeth I was the Queen of England during the Tudor period, and there was no blood or other connection between her and the future one other than the same name.

"Chen," said the Duke of York, with an embarrassed expression on his face, "what do you say, uh, what do you say...... I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do about it. ”

"Why?"

"Because of the unpleasant incident that happened in May, you don't have a good reputation with factory owners all over England right now.

"But that's not the main reason. I met with the head of Rolls-Royce not long ago, and I also talked to them about the safety measures in the car.

"But when I took out the ratchet of the seat belt you designed for Lilybeth, and explained the purpose of the thing, people were really not interested in this device in the car.

"They invited me to visit the R&D lab at the Rolls-Royce factory, and they were really thinking about the safety of the car, but it wasn't the driver who was protecting it, but the pedestrians who suddenly appeared in front of the car.

"Some cars are equipped with a shovel-like device in front of the hood, and after hitting a pedestrian, they will shovel the other party to the shovel to avoid secondary injury to people caused by the crushing of the car."

Okay, good, this is called the pearl dark investment, called the eyes do not know Mount Tai.

Chen Muwu has only seen the design of the car anti-collision shovel in black and white videos, and it has been eliminated in the long river of history for more than a hundred years.

But seat belts have stood the test of history and become standard equipment in every car before it leaves the factory.

Since Rolls-Royce is not willing to be the first to eat crabs, there is no point in continuing to entangle.

They are not the only automobile companies in the world, and Sweden also has the world's highest safety performance automobile company?

Seat belts with safety couldn't be better.

However, it seems that I have never heard the news about Volvo, Chen Muwu went to Stockholm to receive the award, and the vehicles used by the Swedish crown prince to welcome the delivery were also British cars.

Could it be that Volvo hasn't appeared yet? Chen Muwu suddenly had a bold idea.

If there really is no Volvo in this world, then he can fool the Wallenberg family to invest in the construction of a factory to help develop the Swedish automobile industry.

Since the Swedish crown prince likes Chinese culture, it is better to simply choose two words from the blessing of "auspicious and smooth", called "auspicious", and directly take a step in place.

Chen Muwu's brain was filled with this somewhat evil thought, and he completely forgot the environment he was in now.

"Chen, Chen?"

"Ah, Your Royal Highness the Duke, I'm sorry that I was thinking about the problem just now, and I'm really sorry to go smuggling a little. What's wrong, you say. ”

"I have another thing I want to ask you, you were in the newspaper the other day, and it seems that you had some interaction with the oil company."

This second prince is really caring, and he came to London to talk about it, but before he started, the other party had already mentioned it first.

"Well, yes, there is such a thing."

"I want to ask you, what are you doing with oil companies? Are you genuinely looking for oil, or are you running out of funding for the Cambridge University laboratories and trying to get some money out of the oil barons? ”

This......

Xiao Chen felt as if he had been looked at through the crack in the door, was he in the heart of the Duke of York, was this image?

A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

Although the Cavendish laboratory is short of money, and although the Cavendish laboratory is forever short of money, when did he Chen Muwu do this kind of money fraud?

In addition to the free donations he once fooled the Duke of York, which of every sponsorship he gave to Cavendish Laboratories and David Faraday Laboratories was not exchanged for his own benefits?

He still regards the Duke of York as a good brother, dare to be affectionate in the eyes of this good brother, is this how he sees himself?

"It's not that there is no shortage of money, it's just that I think there is something to go for that way to find oil, so I thought I could see if I could match up with oil companies and let me try it in person.

"In this situation, neither Anglo-Persia nor Royal Shell is willing to provide me with the opportunity to cooperate, and I am unwilling to get in touch with the United States, it seems that my idea should most likely be in vain."

Chen Muwu had a very regretful expression on his face, but the Duke of York turned a blind eye.

He responded not to help think of a way, but to persuade Chen Muwu to focus on academic research and not think about those dreams of making a fortune.

If you don't have enough money, you can go to him, and you can't affect the reputation of Cambridge University for a few things outside of you.

Hearing such a statement, Chen Muwu realized one thing, that is, people all over the world, from the bosses of those oil companies, to Pauli, Einstein, and now the Duke of York, are not very optimistic that he can find oil.

His oil expedition was probably bad, and he didn't get any sponsorship funding. Could it be that he really had to take Wegener to survey and drill wells at his own expense?

Originally, I had prepared two things, but when I came to the Duke of York, I couldn't do any of them.

This is the most fruitless time he has been with him for so long, and he has not received any benefits at all.

He left the Duke of York's residence and returned to his station in London.

That night, Chen Muwu began to write letters to the Crown Prince of Sweden and Marcus Jr., detailing his plans to establish the Swedish automobile industry.

It's not appropriate to say that it was founded, because the Scania company in Sweden has already started the manufacture of trucks, and what he wants to establish is just a car industry.

And if you want Geely Automobile, which started late, to be the first to come, you can't blindly copy Ford and Rolls-Royce, you have to come up with something new to attract attention and seize the market.

On the one hand, every factory car is equipped with seat belts, and on the other hand, Chen Muwu feels that he can also start from the shape of the car and produce the streamlined Beetle in advance.

Maybe in the future, the Geely Beetle will be approved by German leaders who have similar aesthetics to themselves to import it in large quantities, or simply set up a production line in Germany and form a Swedish-German joint venture.

The more Chen Muwu wrote this plan, the more excited he became, and his self-confidence, which had just been suppressed by the Duke of York in oil during the day, was rekindled in the car field late at night.

On December 6th, because of the participation of Chen Muwu, an Asian, the first World Table Tennis Championships upgraded from the European Championships kicked off on time at the Swaythling Library in London.

The library was also named after the first ITTF president, Lord Swaythling, who was funded by her mother, Montagu, for charitable purposes.

According to Chen Muwu's thinking, since this is a competition, it must be sportswear.

Winters in London were also cold, and the only heating equipment in the library was a stove, so he certainly couldn't wear those short-sleeved shorts, but he also chose a set of clothes that were soft, stretchy, and easy to move around.

Then, Chen Muwu became a conspicuous bag in the entire library.

He was the only one wearing a "fancy dress", and the others were all in suits and leather shoes, dressed seriously.

Several of the female contestants even wore dresses that looked a little pompous in the eyes of the afterlife, and wore jeweled jewelry around their necks and wrists.

Where do these people seem to be here to participate in a table tennis match? It's like attending a dinner party at the Swaythling family, or an aristocratic salon in the afternoon.

However, in the early days, table tennis was more of a social game in the UK than a competitive sport.

Later, the addition of the non-volatile East Asian countries and China finally made it more and more competitive.

Although this competition has only been held for the first time, it is more like a self-congratulatory sport for enthusiasts, but because of the participation of Chen Muwu, a topical figure, it has attracted the attention of some reporters.

β€”β€”This is mostly to increase the influence of the first World Table Tennis Championships, so ITTF President Montagu deliberately released the news, he invited Chen Muwu to participate in the competition, but also to rub off on this popularity.

Chen Muwu, who was wearing a dress that he wanted to win, attracted the attention of many reporters and cameras.

Before the game started, in the Swaythling Library, a few spotlights flashed from time to time, and of course he was the protagonist of the shooting.

But relying only on clothes can't let Chen Muwu pass all the way and smash Huanglong.

It is not a problem to beat the table tennis level of the old man in the community, the students who abuse Copenhagen, and the sons and daughters of rich and noble families like Montagu, but he can really fight with the group of people who are often engaged in table tennis in Eastern Europe, even if Chen Muwu is a hundred years ahead of the overall situation, he should not be able to beat, he still can't beat.

However, Chen Muwu did not lose very unjustly, and eliminated his Hungarian athlete Jacobi Roland in the men's singles event, and finally won the first World Table Tennis Championships men's singles championship, and won the championship trophy donated by his defeated Chen Muwu, the China Cup.

Chen Muwu's trophy was specially customized by a silverware store in London.

After the trophy was ready, he also went to Chinatown and asked a master who carved a stamp to engrave the word "δΈ­ε›―" in seal script on it.

After carving the words, the lettering master also took the initiative to offer a courtesy, asking Chen Muwu if he needed to carve a circle on the trophy, and then carve twelve long and narrow triangles around the outside of the circle.

"Recently, the army from the south has been advancing, and this symbol has become popular from the country to London, is there really not one sir?"

At first, Chen Muwu didn't react to what the shape of this master was.

After the other party handed over a piece of paper and saw a sun-like pattern painted on it, Chen Muwu shook his head in shock.

Friends, this thing is not exciting!

The trophy Jacobi was holding was one of the most elaborate in the entire competition.

And the president of the International Table Tennis Federation, Montagu, he simply forgot that there is a trophy.

Seeing the China Cup prepared by Chen Muwu, he thought about whether he should prepare a trophy for the champion of the men's team, but the game was nearing the end, and it would definitely be too late to customize it.

In this case, Baroness Swaythling had to strike again.

She picked one of the silver trophies in her collection and asked her son to give it to the champion of the year, the Hungarian team.

On December 12, the first World Table Tennis Championships came to a successful conclusion, and Chen Muwu had no other gains except to be the unjust leader of his own money.

There was also a lack of interest in the newspapers for this tournament, and now the attention of the whole UK is on something else.

Since Conan Doyle and Chandler Yorke, another rising star in the British detective world, Penguin contract writer Agatha Christie has been mysteriously missing for a few days since she ran away from home on December 3, and no one knows where she went.

The day after she left home, a Morris Cowley car she was driving was found in a quarry near her home.

There are suspicions that Agatha may have thrown herself into a nearby lake.

As the media tried to satisfy readers' "thirst for sensation, disaster, and scandal," the disappearance quickly became a hot news story.

The Home Secretary pressured the police at Scotland Yard, with some newspapers offering a Β£100 reward for Agatha's whereabouts.

Sir Conan Doyle, the Sherlock Holmes detective author who loved feudal superstition, even found the gloves that Agatha used to wear and gave them to the medium, trying to find the new detective writer who had been missing for a long time.
