mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 341 I'll Give You a Zero Yuan Purchase

Her father died when she was ten, and she became queen, but was regented by her mother until her birthday in 1898.

Three years later, she married Duke Hendrick.

But Hendrick didn't like the status of the king's husband, and felt that marrying the queen made him lose face.

For example, when walking, you should be behind the queen, like a follower.

Husband Gang is weak, is that okay?
I, Hendrick, will never bow my head!

Hendrick went straight out to make up for it, had several mistresses at the same time, and gave birth to multiple illegitimate children.

To put it simply, Wilhelmina's life these years has been generally smooth, but the details are full of ups and downs.

This made her a simple character on the outside, but a strong character on the inside.

In the face of Edith Roosevelt, the soft nail in the words of the old fritters,

Wilhelmina said, "Madam, do you think it would be appropriate for me to visit New York?"

"Your Majesty." Edith Roosevelt paused, turned around, and frowned: "Does Your Majesty want to parade through the streets of New York City like in Holland with a long guard?"

She used clever words, which sound normal at first, but if you taste carefully, you can hear a strong sense of irony.

Wilhelmina felt a little helpless after being repeatedly contradicted by her: "Ma'am, I didn't mean that. I just wanted to go out and play in private?"

Although Edith Roosevelt didn't like Wilhelmina's slow, seemingly stupid temper.

But he is still very satisfied with the fact that he has overwhelmed the queen in terms of momentum.

"Even in private, in the busy streets of New York City, your guards will be nervous. If you want to play and experience New York, I have a suggestion."

Wilhelmina's eyes lit up: "Madam, please tell me."

After all, she is still young, only 27 years old this year, full of yearning for beautiful things.

"Can you ride a horse?" Edith Roosevelt looked at the Queen provocatively.

This is her forte!
"Um, yes, I have received professional riding training from the royal family."

Edith Roosevelt smiled meaningfully...

……

The shoreline of Putnam Lake is 6 kilometers long.

The hills are low and shady, and the grassland in the southeast corner is vast, extending to the northeast corner.

The lake is quiet and clear, and groups of bluefin flounder can be seen swimming.

There are egrets by the lake, with long legs, pacing gracefully.

Even though a group of people came on horseback, it didn't fly high, it was very calm.

Mi Shan drove Zhao Chuanxin to a gentle slope, feeling the cool temperature by the lake, facing the beautiful scenery, it seemed that even it was refreshing.

Zhao Chuanxin asked William Hope: "Serena, do you think it is possible to graze here?"

William Hope took a deep breath of fresh air: "Boss, it's very nice here! But the grassland is surrounded by forests, which is different from the environment in the Midwest. Forests can hide large beasts. I think, the priest's woman, said It's all true."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded.

But in terms of scenery and environment, this place is by no means inferior to his Ethan Manor.

Just more inaccessible, more desolate.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the mouth of the lake again, which fully met the requirements of hydroelectric power generation.

How could such a treasured place of geomantic omen be missed?

"That's it. You take Ning'an to the town and buy the lake and this piece of land. By the way, send someone to deliver a letter to Freddy, asking him to move the factory."

William Hope heard that Zhao Chuanxin asked him to handle such a big event, even though he hadn't gone yet, his nervous hands and feet were already weak.

"Boss, I..."

"Don't call me the boss, I'm your employee now, Ethan Zhao."

William Hope could only turn his head to look at Ning An.

Ning An was much younger than him, and his face was unbelievably tender.

However, Ning An was much calmer than him.

Joke, follow Mr., what big scene haven't you seen?
It's all a joke.

Ning An calmly nodded to William Hope.

William Hope miraculously gained some confidence.

This made him a little stunned. Why did he lose to a young man in terms of momentum?

Zhao Chuanxin said to Ning An in Chinese: "Look at him, if he dares to join hands with the local yamen to take me for a loophole, I will let him cut his flesh and feed it to the wolves."

Ning An understood: Look, compared to the local yamen, Mr. is the most vicious one.

What's there to be afraid of?

It was agreed to gather here, and Zhao Chuanxin took Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah to wander around and inspect.

Cattle, horses and sheep, the level of destructive power to forests and pastures is like this.

Cattle<horse<sheep<goat.

Cows eat grass and eat only floating skins.

Horses eat grass deeper than cattle.

As for the goat, that thing is really evil. It doesn't even spare the bark of the mother tree. It eats grass and uproots it. When it passes by, no grass grows. It has a huge destructive power to the vegetation.

However, such as drilling and mining, the local people and yamen would rather recruit herdsmen than let capitalists in.

Capitalists are like goats, equally destructive.

Therefore, when William Hope proposed to buy the land, the mayor happily agreed, which was easier than expected, and the price was so low that William Hope could not believe it.

When walking out of the yamen, Ning An frowned and said, "I think there is something wrong here."

Having experienced so many things with my husband, he knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

William Hope nodded: "It should be that there are large beasts infesting, so others are afraid to come."

"Not only that, I see that after the agreement was reached, the mayor's eyes flashed with joy, as if he threw out a hot potato."

William Hope loses confidence: 'I'm not screwing up my boss, am I?'

Ning An glanced at him, thought for a while, and decided to reveal the truth: "Actually, the factory is the main thing. No matter what problems there are in the pasture, it doesn't matter."

"Huh?" William Hope opened his mouth wide, feeling that he had been cheated.

Ning An learned a bit of Zhao Chuanxin's rhythmic skills, and gave William Hope a shot in the arm: "Of course, grazing is also necessary. After all, two hundred cows is not a small amount. It is impossible for Mr. It's wasted in vain."

William Hope had the opposite point of view from Ning An's. He didn't know anything about the factory, he just did it as a last resort when he was pushed to the stage, and he cared most about the herd of cattle.

"Then what shall we do next?"

"Next, you and I are going to contact to buy cattle."

Just as the two of them left the town, Zhao Chuanxin came.

The reason is that Benjamin Goldberg's clothes were already a little small, but he has grown rapidly during this period, and his clothes now seem to have shrunk, which doesn't fit him very well.

As a master, you must let your disciples stand up for themselves.

He saw a shop in the town with a "J.C. Penney" sign on it, and was taken aback for a moment.

"Go, go here."

This is a small and powerful enterprise that has entered the 21st century!
The shop seems to have just opened.

A well-dressed man in his 30s is instructing employees to arrange shelves.

Seeing the three of Zhao Chuanxin coming in, the man frowned, but didn't speak.

The clerk came to guide Zhao Chuanxin and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"For these two children, each of them chooses a set of clothes and shoes."

Benjamin Goldberg is naturally a child, but the clerk looked at Marcus Nkrumah, who was nearly 2 meters tall.

You call this a child?

"Benjamin, Marcus, follow him and choose whichever suit you like."

When they went in, Zhao Chuanxin happily took out the blueprint of the semi-automatic rifle.

When Benjamin Goldberg came up with the blueprint, Zhao Chuanxin noticed at a glance that his clothes were old and did not fit.

As a master, this is how you cherish your disciples.

The fly in the ointment is that this semi-automatic rifle can't be produced yet, and he can't even rub it out with his hands.

Because there is no suitable alloy material.

Direct immersion gas drive system, the piston should be made of high-strength and light-weight aluminum alloy or titanium alloy.

Even if it is barely replaced by other materials now, the service life is very impressive.If the weight is not up to the standard, various failures will occur, and it is a fatal flaw on the battlefield.

This is the first time that Zhao Chuanxin felt the limitations of the times when materials restricted development.

Putting away the drawings, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the shop.

He came to the middle-aged man and asked, "Hello, do you know who the owner of this shop is?"

The middle-aged man looked Zhao Chuanxin up and down: "John Peterman. I am the owner of this store. I have to remind you that JCPenney only accepts cash in advance and does not accept credit consumption. You can't find the boss or manager. "

The tone was anything but friendly.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Isn't this the American version of "No credit for small profits"?

"Look at what you said, it seems that I can't afford the money." Zhao Chuanxin looked disdainful. "Is it okay to owe half the money?"

John Peterman: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin stopped teasing him, and laughed: "I actually want to ask, does your store need investment?"

Capitalists like to play financing.

And Zhao Chuanxin has earned money, but also needs to create "Jin Kun". Times have changed, and it is difficult to withdraw money from the bank, so he also needs to have a positive business.

Clinker, John Peterman turned his face when he heard this: "No need, we have sufficient funds!"

The old boy is also a legend.

Five years ago, at the age of 27, he created his first store from scratch.

Now he is only 32 years old, and he is already the owner of a chain store across several states.

JCPenney stores never accept credit purchases, you must use cash.

His insistence was ridiculed by capitalists in various industries.

However, when the economic crisis came, these people could not laugh.

John Peterman gritted his teeth and was able to persevere, while others could only face bankruptcy and reorganization and become a bigger fish.

Zhao Chuanxin did not expect to meet the founder of a century-old shop here and now.

"Think about it."

He persisted for a while.

JCPenney will definitely be bigger.

"I don't need your stinky money, get out."

I, Cao...Zhao Chuanxin took a deep breath and suppressed the fire.

He has important business to come to Kurdex this time, so he needs to keep a low profile.

endured.

He sneered and said, "Little J, don't be shy, maybe in a few months, you will come to ask me for capital injection."

"dream!"

"Wait and see."

"Go away!"

"Fake squid, I'm a customer, I'm standing here, what do you think?"

Dog things, don't you never accept credit purchases?
Then I will give you a zero yuan purchase today!
Not only did he not leave, but he wandered around between the shelves.

Clothes, shoes, furniture items, glasses and even diamond jewelry are sold here.

Where Zhao Chuanxin walked, the density of the goods became less noticeable to the naked eye.
