Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1139 Entering the British Upper Class Society

"You bastard...!" Sir Greenville heard that Li Jinde had really slapped his daughter, and let go unwillingly, "Is she still alive now?"

In this era of underdeveloped medicine and frequent wars, being separated for more than a year may be the separation of yin and yang.

"She is doing well now, and we have a daughter," Li Jinde said.

"What?!" Sir Greenville closed his mouth in surprise as if struck by lightning, and grabbed Li Jinde again, "Did they come with the fleet!"

"Your granddaughter has just been born, it is impossible to sail on the sea for several months, and Selina will stay in the capital to take care of the child..." Li Jinde broke Sir Greenville's fingers.

"That's right...wrong, why did you come here when your daughter was just born!" Sir Greenville was a little mad.

"This is a business matter. Men are always forced to do so. The purpose of my coming here is to lead the company to build a factory in London. After the business here is over, I will take a bus back to China." Li Jinde said.

Sir Greenville is not easy to refute Li Jinde. As the head of the family, he also shoulders the work of participating in political affairs and collecting land rent.

"I heard from the Earl of Compton that you occasionally feel cold, so you can't lead the envoys to China. I don't know how your health is?" Li Jinde asked.

"That happened several months ago. I can still stand here alive, which means that I have recovered!" Sir Greenville was in a complicated mood. When he heard that he had a granddaughter but couldn't see him, his temper became a little irritable.

"Is your mother-in-law reconciled with you? I heard from Earl Compton that the two of you separated because Selina stayed in the East. I'm really sorry last time." Li Jinde said again.

"That kid from Compton actually got all my private affairs out of the way, next time I'll make trouble for him! I don't want you to pay attention to my affairs!" Sir Greenville said angrily.

"Yes, I have something nice to show you..." Li Jinde took out a black and white photo of his precious daughter.

Sir Greenville took the black and white photo. It was the first time he saw this kind of photo, but he recognized his daughter Selina in the photo at a glance.Selina is also holding a newborn baby in the photo.Because the black-and-white photo technology is not so mature, it looks a little blurry, especially the baby is smaller, even so, Sir Greenville has been pleasantly surprised.

"Is this what my granddaughter looks like? As long as she looks healthy." Sir Greenville's tense face eased, showing a kind expression.

"If there is a chance, I would like to visit my mother-in-law. It is my fault for leaving Sarina in the East. It is impossible for them to meet you in a while. Selina also prepared a gift for you, and put it in the My house." Li Jinde said.

"It's a long story. My wife is also an aristocrat. She hasn't forgiven me yet. After all, Selina is our only child. If she knew that Selina was fine and had a daughter, maybe she wouldn't be so angry. ’ sighed Sir Greenville.

"You should still stay in London, right? I still need to spend a few days recruiting carpenters and stonemasons, and selling the goods I brought. When everything is on track, I will go visit my mother-in-law with you." Li Jinde said.

"Although you are busy with your affairs, I will stay in London City for a while... I will introduce you to the big shots in London City, so that you can carry out activities in London City. Can I keep this photo for a few minutes?" day?" Sir Greenville accepted Li Jinde as son-in-law by default, intending to let Li Jinde integrate into the upper circles of London City as soon as possible.

"You can keep the photos. With your help, these tasks will definitely be able to get twice the result with half the effort." Seeing that Sir Greenville was willing to help him make friends with British nobles, Li Jinde couldn't help but said happily.

Sir Greenville, as one of the great nobles in Britain, his help can be said to be an intangible asset.

"Old friends, this is my son-in-law in the East and the director of a company established by Chinese people." Sir Greenville took Li Jinde to meet a group of familiar old friends.

Almost all the people who got acquainted with Sir Greenville were British princes, nobles, big businessmen, and squires. Faced with so many people, it would be really difficult for Li Jinde to remember them all.

Sir Greenville took Li Jinde to socialize in the aristocratic circle, and the Chinese merchants who came with Li Jinde were quite surprised by this.

"It's no wonder that the Lord of the Army appointed Treasurer Li as the executive director of our Western Trading Company. His father-in-law is a British nobleman. This is a unique advantage. It is estimated that he will soon meet a group of trustworthy nobles and businessmen."

"With the shopkeeper Li here, it saves the inconvenience of not being familiar with the place. This time we feel a lot easier." A group of Huaxia businessmen said happily.

"I hope you will take good care of our company in the future. We have brought high-quality silk, porcelain, and tea from China this time, and they are all piled up in the warehouse near the London Pool. You can go there to buy goods at any time. This is the first time that our western trading company has transported goods from China on a large scale. In order to promote our friendship, we are willing to give you preferential discounts." Li Jinde quickly gave great discounts to nobles who are willing to buy goods, allowing direct sales Chinese commodities quickly opened up the market in the city of London.

"I don't know how the quality of the porcelain and silk you brought for sale compares with the porcelain and silk presented to His Majesty the King?" asked the nobles in the city of London.

"Don't be afraid to tell everyone the truth. What we presented to His Majesty King Charles were the most exquisite porcelain and top-quality silk, which are priceless in our mainland China. I am afraid that the other silk and porcelain we brought cannot compare with the gift. But the galleon There is no shortage of porcelain and silk products on the website, the price is fair, everyone will like it. When you are free, you can go to the dock warehouse, and I can show you the goods we have brought, and you will definitely be satisfied." Li Jinde Said.

"It seems that anyone who wants to buy oriental goods can go and have a look." The British nobles who knew Li Jinde said one after another.

During the banquet, apart from Li Jinde's circle, nobles from other counties also formed a small circle of communication, and the nobles were intertwined to consolidate their status.

In the circle centered on the Earl of Leicester, there was a young nobleman with wavy hair, a little fat and a bit of a murderous air.Although the chubby man was chatting with the Earl of Leicester and others, he looked at the circle where Li Jinde and Sir Greenville were from the corner of his eyes from time to time.
