Reborn and become a Great Scientist

188 Chapter 136

This goal only slightly changed the dull and boring situation on the football field.

The score of one to zero continued until the end of the game. Sheffield United defeated the defending champion Cardiff City and won this year's FA Cup.

When the Duke of York left the box and went to the center of the stadium to present the FA Cup to the new champion, Chen Muwu hurriedly left the field with the royal servants and waited in the car outside Wembley Stadium in advance.

Although things have basically been settled during today's football match, he will also attend a private party hosted by the Duke of York at his private residence tonight.

While walking outside the stadium, he listened to the Duke of York's speech transmitted to every corner of the stadium through the loudspeaker.

Chen Muwu finally understood why the Duke of York said that he was reluctant to participate in such activities.

The eldest brother was not fluent in speaking, and he became more nervous when speaking on a grand occasion with so many audiences.

His speech, whether it is for the audience present or for himself, is a kind of auditory torture.

Although the audience may ignore this minor flaw in his speech because of his royal aura, this should also be regarded as a very heavy burden in the Duke of York's heart.

Chen Muwu has neither the ability nor the obligation to help the prince get rid of this heart disease. To the Duke of York is the same as to others, that is his greatest tenderness.

The reason why I say this is because there are other people who have done the exact opposite of Chen Muwu under similar circumstances.

The protagonist this time is still his "closest" chief disciple, Oppenheimer.

If there is no such factor as Chen Muwu in this time and space, then after Oppenheimer was expelled from Cambridge University for poisoning Blackett, he would transfer to the University of Göttingen by virtue of his family relationship, and follow Born to continue his doctorate.

Born has another doctoral student, Pascual Jordan, who is also a physicist with a good level of mathematics. Together with his teacher Born and the German physics genius Heisenberg, he perfected and established The final matrix mechanics.

This man Jordan had the same speech problems as the Duke of York, and his stuttering symptoms were probably more serious than the latter.

Oppenheimer, who had just arrived, began to imitate Jordan's stutter intentionally or unconsciously after he joined Born's school and got acquainted with his senior brother Jordan.

No one can bear the behavior of arrogant Americans.

But Jordan's response was not to invite Oppenheimer to a fencing duel, as was the fashion at German universities at the time.

He united other young people in the same group and wrote a letter to his common mentor, Born, asking him to deal with Oppenheimer.

Born knew that Oppenheimer had poisoned another Blackett, who had also been an exchange visitor at the University of Göttingen, when Oppenheimer was at Cambridge.

He also knew that Oppenheimer escaped English law because he found a psychiatrist who gave him a certificate of clinical depression.

Born had a headache and felt he was in a dilemma.

Don't punish Oppenheimer, Jordan can't justify it.

And if Oppenheimer is punished, he will receive something poisoned himself.

Born could only pretend to "leave" the letter on Oppenheimer's desk inadvertently, hoping that he would restrain himself a little after reading it.

Born finally breathed a sigh of relief when Oppenheimer finally got his doctorate and left the University of Göttingen.

He complained in a letter to Ehrenfest, saying that this American student made him experience unprecedented pain. Fortunately, Göttingen, which was paralyzed by Oppenheimer for a long time, was finally able to return after he graduated. Back to normal.

Now think about it, that superficially honest German, Jordan, while studying knowledge, secretly published anti-Semitic articles in radical magazines under a pseudonym, and even joined the mustache's Nan Party , may have a lot to do with his American Jewish classmate.

From this point of view, Chen Muwu's tactics are really good.

After meeting him, Oppenheimer was tamed and docile, loyal, and never made any fools like in his previous life.

The Duke of York finally finished his speech, and under the escort of the police, he left Wembley Stadium and joined Chen Muwu, who had been waiting in the car for a long time.

The car finally started slowly and drove steadily towards the outskirts of London.

It seems that the Duke of York's expression is as usual. It is estimated that he is in a happy mood today, and the award ceremony went smoothly.

"Watching a sports game once in a while is also good. At least by shouting, you can relax the pressure accumulated due to work, and the moment I watched these athletes lift the trophy, my heart surged."

Chen Muwu answered politely.

But I thought in my heart, what work pressure can you have?But buddy is really short of money!
I hope that Brennamond company you introduced will be generous and let me sell the patent for a good price.

Chen Muwu knew that although he had a great reputation and a high academic status, it was simply wishful thinking to continue to collect money from Europeans and Americans with a hot patent.

He can hold on to the patent for the electron microscope, because the market is small and the profit is not too attractive.

However, product patents such as plexiglass, which can be easily mass-produced and have a broad market in the future, even if they are not authorized, others can use various channels and methods to produce them correctly.

As the patent holder, Chen Muwu, if he smashed his tooth and swallowed it back, that's all.

If an aggressive person asks these chaebols for high patent fees, they will suddenly suffer from acute copper coin alloy poisoning at some point, and their brains will be wide open.

It's better to just sell the patent of plexiglass and make a quick profit by selling it with one hammer, as long as the school can be repaired.

The Duke of York continued: "Dr. Chen, counting the time, it seems that it is time for this year's Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games. I really hope to see you swimming in the Thames again!"

What the second prince said was getting more and more ridiculous.

My buddy is a dignified Olympic swimming champion, winner of four gold medals, and holder of several world records. He wants to go to the Thames River and bully a few weak students from Oxford University?
Don't be ashamed!

"His Royal Highness, it's better to say goodbye. It's really not suitable for me to participate in this sports meeting this year. Besides, I probably don't have much time. After the patent is sold and I get the money, I will start working in the Royal Academy. It's an experiment."

The Duke of York also noticed that the question he raised was a bit inappropriate: "Of course, work is more important. I hope you can invent more fresh and useful things like plexiglass. If you are short of money, I will Individuals will be very supportive.”

He spoke very sincerely, especially the last sentence, which made Chen Muwu feel as if he had met Tycho of Frederick II. Coincidentally, the full name of the Duke of York was Albert Frederick A. Thur Georgely, also bears the name Frederick.

This might not be a historical coincidence.

After driving for a long time, the car finally arrived at the destination of this trip, Richmond Park in the suburbs of London.

Richmond Park is the largest royal garden in London and the second largest walled city park in the UK. It is basically equivalent to the Old Summer Palace in Beijing.

This was originally the place where King George I of England hunted hundreds of years ago, and George I also built a temporary palace here for the convenience of hunting.

The palace has been renovated by successive British royal families and is now called the White House.

And this white house is the venue for the dinner party to be held tonight.

When Chen Muwu first arrived in England, it happened to coincide with the wedding of the Duke of York.

After getting married, the prince spent his honeymoon here with his princess, and they lived there all the time, using the white house as a private residence.

It was said to be a private dinner, but in fact it was more like a social place like the time Doyle invited him to give a lecture in the Ghost Club.

Except for Chen Muwu who was trying to fill his stomach, everyone else was basically toasting and greeting each other.

The Julian Huxley whom he had seen before also came to Chen Muwu with a wine glass to say hello.

His Royal Highness, the Duke of York, first introduced Chen Muwu, an alumnus of Trinity College, Cambridge University, who was well-developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and physically, to everyone present, and then began to show off a new gadget he just got this afternoon. The plexiglass invented by the genius Dr. Chen.

Everyone first praised the plexiglass man in turn, and then started to praise Chen Muwu again.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that Dr. Chen is the Duke of York's most important guest tonight.

Anyone who neglects him will be in trouble with His Highness the Duke.

……

The Duke of York kept his word. A few days after the dinner, someone found the Royal Research Institute.

In his self-introduction to the concierge, he said that he was an engineer from Brennamond Company and came to see Dr. Chen Muwu from David Faraday Laboratory.

"Hi, Dr. Chen!"

After the meeting, the British bald middle-aged man actually popped out a sentence in Chinese when he greeted Chen Muwu, and it was a substandard Gehai dialect that made him feel very friendly.

Chen Muwu was taken aback at first, did he have such a big face now?Actually let others learn a sentence of Chinese in order to meet with me.

But he quickly realized that the reason why this person can speak some pidgin Qihai dialect is probably because he lived and worked in the public concession of Qihai?
The following introduction by the bald man quickly confirmed Chen Muwu's thoughts.

"Dr. Chen, my name is Burt. I'm an engineer of Bu Nei Men Company. I used to work in the British business Bu Nei Men foreign firm in Haihai..."

Shit, let me tell you why I always think the name Brennamond Company is so familiar to me!

Brunner (Brenner) Mond (Mond), the names read together, isn't it just Bunemen!

It's really not that friends don't get together, Chen Muwu knows Bu Neimen's company too well.

At least before he left Ghaihai, this British businessman Bo Neimen Company had been monopolizing the soda ash industry in the whole of China, and even the entire East Asian region.

So what if Ben and Britain were allies in World War I?
Should I make your money or should I make your money.

During World War I, sea routes were not smooth, and ocean transportation was even more difficult.

This Bu Neimen company directly increased the price of soda ash by nearly ten times, and even set up a priceless market, piling up soda ash in the warehouse to cover it and not sell it, which made the domestic price of soda ash soar to the sky at that time. A meal of soda ash can be worth an ounce (about thirty grams) of gold.

When Chen Muwu returned home after giving lectures at Bei University, the Yongli Soda Factory that Chen Muwu saw in Tiangu Tanggu was exactly the counterattack attempt made by Chinese Fan Xudong and Hou Debang in response to Bu Neimen Company's monopoly of soda ash.

Unexpectedly, the British chemical factory that the Duke of York introduced to him turned out to be Bo Nemen, so it would be impossible to justify it without killing him severely.

Moreover, the British are quite useless. This Bo Neimen is now considered to be invincible. It is one of the top four chemical companies in the UK and one of the top five chemical companies in the world.

And in the year before he crossed, the soda factory was still located in Northwich, Cheshire, England.

But the name "Bu Nei Men" has long since disappeared. At that time, the name of the factory was Tata Chemicals Europe.

That's right, it is the Tata Group that acquired Land Rover and Jaguar in India.

The third brother is really a big deal, not only buying cars, but also buying the British steel and chemical industries.

Who dares to say that the orthodoxy is not in the South Asian subcontinent?

But when it comes to the Yongli Alkali Plant, Chen Muwu recalled that last year, through Haber's relationship, he helped Yongli and Germany's BASF plant to match up for the purchase of a synthetic ammonia plant.

I don't know if the negotiations with Wynn are going well?How is soda ash production doing?

Zhu Zhaoxin from the Legation has been relaying to Chen Muwu the domestic developments that are basically related to politics.

So Chen Muwu didn't know that the butterfly effect he brought, including spoiling Hou's soda production method in advance, and helping Yongli soda factory to purchase a synthetic ammonia factory, had already made Yongli produce better quality Red Triangle brand ahead of schedule. soda ash.

The reason why Burt, an engineer from the Neimen company in Haihai, returned to the UK from Haihai is also related to the sudden rise of the Red Triangle brand of soda ash.

Red Triangle not only sells well in various textile factories in China, but also seizes the market of Bu Neimen in neighboring countries with a higher degree of industrialization.

I am not a fool, although Bu Neimen is an established company with a good reputation, but now that they have the Red Triangle with higher quality and better price, they are not willing to spend more money!

Burt was dismissed from his post in Haihai by the British headquarters because he lost the East Asian market and was not good at doing things. He returned to China to report on his work and wait for his release.

But before he had time to deal with him, news came from the Duke of York that Dr. Chen Muwu from Cambridge University is now at the Royal Research Institute in London. He has a nice new invention and wants to discuss business with you.

In order to help Dr. Chen sell the goods, the Duke of York even invited the top executive of the Buneman Company, Alfred Mond, the first Baron Melchett, to his home, and showed him the plexiglass sample that Chen Muwu gave to the Duke of York. .

As the second-generation leader of Bunemen Company, Ah Mond certainly saw the business opportunities hidden in this piece of plexiglass.

That's why he couldn't wait to send Bert to find Chen Muwu, hoping that they would make up for the crime and win the patent right of plexiglass to make up for the losses he caused to the company in the Far East.
