I'm the Dauphin in France

Chapter 502: Feel the shock of Internet jargon
Styler is an Italian who has been doing business in Britain for many years, but his ancestors are from Bourges, France, and he has always wanted to return to Bourges. He is a typical spiritual Frenchman.

Bailly had been a close friend of his for many years and knew that he had outstanding business abilities, so he suggested that he be in charge of the competition for London's gas street lights.

Mayor Mordaunt raised his glass and smiled, "I will discuss your company's contract with Councillor Mordaunt as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much!"

After the salon, Styler reported today's events to his valet in the carriage, who immediately praised him highly: "You have done an excellent job, Mr. Styler. At present, we are ahead of all British companies in London City Hall.

"Next, it's up to you to show your skills on the spot."

This butler was none other than Captain Deloni from the French Intelligence Agency, the man in charge of the "Gaslight Project".

Styler said confidently, "Please rest assured, I have made sufficient preparations. Your novel presentation method will surely impress those congressmen."

Delony smiled and waved his hands: "I don't know anything about display. That was invented by a great man."

The big shot he was talking about was naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Joseph knew that bribery alone was not enough to win the London Gas Street Lighting Project. After all, the plate was too big, and he had to show overwhelming strength to shut everyone up. So he asked Lightning Company to arrange a business presentation that would have been impossible in the 18th century.

Three days later.

Baron Mordaunt, a member of the British House of Lords, brought several other members of parliament and a large number of experts and scholars, walking on the red carpet and, under the attentive guidance of Styler, entered the gate of Lightning Coal Company.

As soon as they entered the gate, Mordaunt and the others were shocked. In front of them was a huge stone more than one meter tall. The side of the stone was chiseled flat, and there were dignified large Roman characters engraved on it:

Lightning Coal Company's corporate culture: Dreams have no boundaries, exploration never stops, and miracles are created!
Driven by innovation, we will continue to break through ourselves and ignite the flames of technology with the spark of innovation...

Pursue excellence, pay attention to every detail, and create first-class products that exceed user expectations...

We strive to forge ahead, not afraid of difficulties, and become the best company with firm belief and hard work...

These clichés, which no one would even give a second thought to in the 21st century, were absolutely high-class in the eyes of Mordaunt and others - people in the 18th century had never seen this before - the soul-stirring slogans and advanced concepts directly stunned them.

Then, Mordaunt signaled the servants to put on shoe covers for the congressmen and others, and said apologetically: "Please forgive me, gentlemen, because there are very sophisticated instruments in the company, and we need to prevent the influence of dust, so shoe covers are necessary."

Everyone followed him into the company, which was spotlessly clean. The walls were covered with documents and charts. More than 300 employees were busy working, and someone would shout from time to time: "Efficiency! Always be efficient!"

"David, the data I want must be submitted within 3 minutes!"

"The precision can be improved. I just want the best product!"

The congressmen who were visiting were stunned. Stratler led them into a very spacious hall, and in the middle of the room was a cylindrical "iron bucket" that was more than two people tall, shining with a metallic luster, and connected to a large number of pipes and instruments.

Before Mordaunt could ask any questions, Styler began to explain loudly: "Look, everyone. This is the latest coal distillation equipment developed by our company. Of course, this is just a prototype. The one used for actual production will be much larger than this."

Steller winked at his assistant, who immediately led someone to put the coal into the "iron bucket" and then lit a fire in the furnace below.

Soon, light yellow smoke began to pour out from the glass tube above the iron bucket.

"Our machines are 20% more efficient than the ones used by the French in Paris," said Steller, pointing to a tall wooden board with comparative data written on it. "You see, from furnace temperature to distillation speed to raw material consumption, our technology is ahead in all aspects.

"The coal will be distilled here, emitting a large amount of coal gas. It will pass through these pipes and enter as many as 18 filtering and decomposition equipment. Oh, this is it..."

He spoke passionately, using all kinds of professional terms. Not to mention Mr. Mo, even the scholars who came with him were confused, but they did not dare to express any objections. After all, this was the most cutting-edge new technology, and it was normal for them not to understand it.

In fact, even if they ask, Styler has a way to deal with it, which is to give you more professional terms and more technical data until the other party shuts up.

Of course, this so-called "distillation equipment prototype" is just a model made of iron sheets, which is far from the real coal distillation technology that can be used.

However, after careful polishing by craftsmen, the appearance is exquisite, full of technology, and can also be used for ignition demonstration, so there is absolutely no problem in using it to bluff people. The actual cost is less than 1 francs.

Styler instructed his assistant to distribute beautifully printed brochures to visitors: "Our company has invested 3 pounds to develop this technology. It can be clearly seen in this brochure that all performance is the best in the world!
"Well, next we are going to visit another cutting-edge technology of the company - the coal crusher."

After visiting the coal crusher model, I visited the gas washer model, and then the separator model...

As the congressmen held a thick stack of brochures in their hands and were filled with amazement at the cutting-edge technology, Styler began to talk about the company's "analysis design-test integration-iteration" spiral development method.

This stuff is purely conceptual, air-to-air, ensuring that every sentence makes sense, but nothing will be left in your mind after listening to it.

After all, this is the standard research and development model of later generations, so it must make sense. But Joseph only needs to remove a few of the most critical nodes and it will immediately become a heavenly book.

Finally, Styler erected a colorful display board in the conference hall, passionately describing the company's future vision for the gas streetlight project and its "sustainable" development plan.

A few hours later, a group of British MPs and experts walked out of Lightning Coal Company with excitement, their heads filled with beautiful pictures and various new terms. They simply felt that this company was the one with the most advanced technology and the best products in Europe.

Mordaunt was certain that if Lightning Coal Company was allowed to undertake the gas lighting project in London, it would be able to create a city image that was more refined and glorious than Paris.

As the leader of this project, he will also gain huge political benefits. He has even thought of a slogan for it - the Father of London Street Lamps.

It may even be possible for him to have a shot at becoming prime minister.
