Chapter 230 Denial of Application
"Wow, you are so tall!"

"This one is longer!"

"It's bigger than I've seen before!"

……

In the days when the snow was falling, Frederick took everyone to the greenhouse to measure the fruits and vegetables with new fertilizers.

For Maria, every visit to the vegetable greenhouse is like coming to a playground, and she has a lot of fun.

Susan, who came from the south of the Inland Sea, couldn't bear the winter here and was about to hibernate at home, but she was still caught by Maria to play with her.

This winter, Adiken's crew was in Wessen State for weapon training and selecting new crew members. Lilu was also there, and she was also caught by Maria to play.

Now, like everyone else, they are measuring the data of vegetables and fruits in several greenhouses.

Mathias arranged several greenhouses, separated the soil of growing vegetables and fruits with wooden boards, and compared fertilization on one side and no fertilization on the other.

The effect of the new fertilizer is obvious. In just one month, the gap between the two sides has come out.

Especially for green leafy vegetables such as local bear leeks and imported chicken feathers, the leaves after fertilization are obviously better than those without fertilization.

Seeing the obvious comparison results, even Fritz, who made these fertilizers, was very surprised.

"I didn't expect that." Fritz was a little dumbfounded, "After studying alchemy for so many years, I actually found gold from the fields."

Dragases was invited to visit. He also knew these professors, and sighed aside: "I am ashamed to say that I have laughed at you before. I did not expect that the person who should be laughed at most is myself."

The president of the bank, Giovanni, was also invited. Now that Frederick has delegated power, the president has the power to veto large loans. He immediately understood that the boss was going to let the bank borrow money to build factories.

Out of work responsibilities, he said aside: "If the economic cost and use cost of using this fertilizer can increase the user's income in the end, the bank can provide a loan sufficient to build a factory after review."

In Giovanni's view, it is a good thing to increase production after fertilization, but if the cost of fertilization is lower than the profit brought by the increase in production, then whoever buys it is a fool.

Fritz already knew that he could make a lot of money here, but the people in charge of the money couldn't be fooled. He had already written a plan with the help of other entrepreneurs.

He told Giovanni: "I have done a cost calculation, and the depreciation of equipment accounts for a large part of the production cost of this fertilizer."

"If you can get enough investment at one time and use larger equipment, the production efficiency and factory benefits will be much better than using small equipment."

He then explained to Giovanni that producing fertilizer is like cooking something in a pot, the bigger the pot the more stuff can be produced at one time.

例如三个球形高压釜的直径分别是1米、2米和3米，它们的材料用量比例是1:4:9，但内部容量比例是1:8:27。

So the initial investment may seem like a lot, but the more you invest, the more money you save.

Giovanni sounded reasonable.

Frederick kept smiling at the side, but he meowed in his heart. Fritz and Ogilvy didn't realize that small batch production in the laboratory is one thing, and final industrial production is another.

Neither the spherical kettle nor the autoclave is a problem, but adding a "direct 3 meters" together will cause a big problem. There are many problems to be solved in the design, manufacture and related accessories. If we really want to make it, it can be called a For the miracle of industry.

Therefore, Frederick has completely rejected their plan in his heart. The manufacture of high-pressure vessels is not only a problem of too big steps, but also a "big mushroom smoke".

The statistics of the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse were completed before lunch, and the expected increase in production benefits exceeded the cost of fertilization by many times, which proved the investment value.

Early the next morning, Fritz, led by Ogilvy and Matter, went to the headquarters of Wesson Bank to submit the loan application. It was delivered to Frederick's desk before get off work that day.

Ogilvy has been inquiring about the progress, and came to Frederick's office on time, and watched the loan application being signed by discussing other issues, and answered any questions on the spot.

Frederick took the application form from Vanessa, opened it, read it calmly and seriously, and finally wrote "too big a step" in his own column on the first page of the form.

Although there is no "bullshit" or "bullshit" here, anyone can see what he means.

Vanessa took the application and took it to the banker to take it back.

Ogilvy didn't see Frederick's comments, but only knew that the leader of the application had signed it. He thought it must be done, so he left on the grounds that he was going to leave work.

After Vanessa came back, Ogilvy had already left, and only Frederick was in the office. He leaned back in his chair, looking a little tired.

"My lord," Vanessa poured him a cup of hot milk tea, "how do you write such a comment?"

She has been working for so many years, and this is the first time she has seen such an incoherent comment.

Frederick didn't answer, just asked her: "Have you dated Schmidt lately?"

Vanessa's face blushed slightly, and she put the teacup on the table before answering: "Tonight, he and I took Liebherr to the street to do some shopping, and Liebherr is going to give Katharina a gift."

There are quite a few people named Katharina. Frederick was not sure for a while. After asking, he realized that she was the youngest daughter of Becher, the "God of Burning Law". The heating system of the hot gas airship.

"It's her." Frederick took a sip of hot milk tea, "I remember that a grandson of the Grand Duke of Mainz is pursuing her."

"So what." Vanessa said, "Catherina doesn't like that son, she likes people like scholars."

Frederick just nodded after hearing this. Normally, it is not easy for him to intervene in this matter.

He didn't care about gossip, and said to Vanessa, "You can talk to them tonight about the criticism just now."

The next day, Fritz came to Ogilvy's office as soon as he got the returned loan, and saw him and his students sitting there with sad faces, as if discussing something difficult.

"Are you kidding me?" Fritz threw the loan application in front of Ogilvy angrily, "You want me to embarrass myself in front of Duke Wesson?"

Ogilvy frowned and glanced at the loan application.

Naturally, there was no bank internal form on the application form, so I couldn't see what Frederick wrote.

"It's my fault." Ogilvy sighed, "I didn't communicate well with the principal."

Schmidt said on the side: "I thought about it all night. The principal asked the secretary to pass on the comments to us. It should be that he was worried that we would not be able to produce such large high-voltage equipment. If these equipment failed, there would be big problems. "

"Then what to do?" Fritz asked with a dark face.

"Try to change the application." Ogilvy said to him, "We may have set the goal too high, and it may be okay to lower it."

Schmidt also said: "I think the problem is here. When we were studying steam engines and tractors before, the principal emphasized one thing very much. Production needs to be done step by step, and experience is gradually accumulated from childhood to adulthood."
