Dutch merchants had some distinctive characteristics.
They rarely bring gifts to please anyone. When doing business, you should negotiate and don't be vain.
But they also have the stinky problem of businessmen from all over the world having their own agendas in competition.
After Zhao Chuanxin revealed his intention to cooperate, they stopped going into this topic.
Others should wait for private visits before communicating in confidence, otherwise business opportunities may be leaked.
Seeing that no one asked questions, Zhao Chuanxin jumped off the carriage.
Edward VII stepped forward with great interest and took Zhao Chuanxin's arm: "Zhao, I have a request. Please get on the carriage and give me a ride."
Zhao Chuanxin looked at it Looking at the carriage: "It's too crowded."
"..."
Okay, okay, Westerners don't speak so straightforwardly.
Edward VII gritted his teeth: "Then let's ride to the port."
"Then let's get in the car."
Zhao Chuanxin was worried about the next scene A cold can kill an old boy.
Edward VII waved goodbye to the people of The Hague.
However, the people of The Hague who had previously ignored Zhao Chuanxin, except the King of England, also said goodbye to Zhao Chuanxin, and their attitude made a 90-degree turn.
Zhao Chuanxin was not even good at acting. He drooped his eyelids and got on the carriage indifferently.
If you have no desires, you will be strong. I am not a royal husband. You can do whatever you like.
It’s all about Wilhelmina’s face, nothing more.
Everyone is cheap.
Zhao Chuanxin had such an unconventional attitude from the beginning, but they got used to it and made excuses for Zhao Chuanxin's words and deeds - only by staying true to one's original intention can one always succeed.
King Edward VII moved his body awkwardly, trying to give Zhao Chuanxin as much space as possible.
Zhao Chuanxin was on the contrary, he wielded a golden sword and lit a cigar.
Edward VII praised: "Zhao, what you said is really good. I heard that you served as a prefect in the Qing Dynasty. Why don't you come to England and I will find a way to transfer you to the Parliament."
He felt that since Zhao Chuanxin was willing to be an official, it would definitely be better to be an official in the British Empire than in the backward Qing Dynasty.
Zhao Chuanxin should agree.
Before abdicating the throne, it would be great to recruit talents for Daying.
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head: "No, I have social fears. I am afraid of crowds. There are too many people in parliament meetings."
Who is Zhao Chuanxin? If you show him a cool article to read, he will tell you - it's not cool either.
Who cares about your congressman?
"..." Seeing that there was nothing he could do, Edward VII changed the subject: "Zhao, I heard that the White Star Line is about to build an Olympic-class cruise ship, and the company in the United States is building an Olympic-class cruise ship. Recruiting the first batch of maiden flight passengers to buy insurance will not pay compensation in case of an accident, but it will save their lives. Can you tell me what this is about?"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: " It's just what you said, Maiden Air InsuranceLife insurance. "
King Edward VII smiled bitterly: "Titanic is the largest and most luxurious passenger ship in the world, and it is said to be unsinkable. Your insurance premiums are too expensive and I think it damages your reputation. ”
What he wants to say is, which fool would buy it?
This insurance seems very casual, but in fact it is also very perfunctory.
It seems that he has not thought about it at all. It's the same as letting others buy it.
Zhao Chuanxin nodded and said perfunctorily: "Well, you are right, a good person will have a safe life. Later I asked Thomas to double the insurance premium. "
"..."
You can't get oil and salt, right?
Soon, the carriage arrived at the port.
Zhao Chuanxin Getting off the bus with King Edward VII.
Before leaving, King Edward VII asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Zhao, you will also go to the address you gave me, right? If I go, it will break my bad luck, right? "
Zhao Chuanxin was ambiguous: "Well, there is no problem in understanding it this way. But do good deeds, don’t ask about the future, just go ahead and go. ”
After sending King Edward VII on board, Zhao Chuanxin took the British Consulate’s carriage back.
On the way, he saw something being performed in a shed.< /p>
Street art is popular in the Netherlands, and organ carts are not very attractive.
But the shed in front of me was filled with onlookers.
Zhao Chuanxin thought of his daughter, Juliana must have liked such a lively scene, even though her eyesight was weak.
But then he remembered what Wilhelmina had said, if Zhao Chuanxin continued. It is very likely that they will not be able to take care of the baby like this.
Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and shouted: "Stop the car, your king likes to watch this kind of performance, I will go and see it, you wait. I. "
It's better to go and see the excitement yourself.
The coachman at the British Embassy said that you are quite rude.
There is nothing they can do, they dare not object. .
Zhao Chuanxin got out of the car, walked to the shed, and pushed the crowd: "The city management and administrative law enforcement are here, please give way, I want a fine..."
This person The word "fine" was particularly shocking.
So the crowd separated and allowed Zhao Chuanxin to go in calmly.
The crowd was waiting to see the excitement of "fine". After Chuan Xin entered, he crossed his arms and watched with interest, and said to the people around him: "I just came in to see what you are looking at. ”
Everyone’s noses were so hung up and crooked.
What trouble are you making!
The driver of the British Embassy was speechless.
The performer in the shed gave Zhao Chuanxin a vicious look: "Sir, please maintain order and don't mess around. ”
Zhao Chuanxin nodded: “That’s right, look at them. They are not disorderly at all and have interrupted your performance. Please continue.” ”
Performer: “…”
In the scene, it’s like a love storyScenic drama.
There is a scary humanoid doll with only half a body, and there seems to be some kind of agency information inside.
There is a box in front of the doll, and the outside of the box can be locked.
The performer said: "Look, everyone, this is a puppet made by a Swedish mechanical master. It has its own soul and can understand human speech..."
Audience Hearing this, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
Zhao Chuanxin said that people nowadays are really easy to deceive.
Anything involving monsters, demons and monsters can make people marvel again and again.
There was confidence in the crowd and they said naysayers: "I don't believe it, it's obviously just an ordinary doll."
The performer's face was full of "angry", he banged the table and said unconvinced : "You don't believe it, do you? If you don't believe it, look. The name of this doll is - Emma.
Now I want to say a word to her.
Emma, please open the box ."
The puppet's arm was slowly raised, then put down, and his hand was placed on the lock of the box, opening the lock, and then lifting the lid.
The crowd exclaimed again.
"Wow, it really has a soul."
Zhao Chuanxin grinned as he looked at it.
What a poor performance.
But everyone really just likes this.
The person in the crowd shouted at this time: "You must have used some kind of blind trick, I still don't believe it."
The performer sneered: "You saw it with your own eyes, why don't you believe it? ?”
Tuo yelled, “I just don’t believe it anyway.”
The performer said, “Then how can you believe it?”
Tuo’s eyes. The child was giggling, then stared wide-eyed and said: "Yes, if you get into the box and let the puppet close. Then, if you let the puppet open again, I will believe it."
Performance Tuo snorted coldly and said with a guilty conscience: "Why should I listen to you?" Tuo retorted.
The performer is sarcastic.
The two exchanged words with each other, quickly arousing the audience's emotions, and some people started to boo.
Zhao Chuanxin shook his head repeatedly.
At this time, Xingyue said in his ear: "There is a girl operating a puppet in the dark box at the back. She seems to have been in there for a long time and has angina. She is covered in sweat now. If she hadn't If you intervene, your life may be in danger."
Zhao Chuanxin hesitated, then squeezed through the excited crowd, bypassed the curtain, and sneaked behind the scenes.
In the front, the performer brought the audience's emotions to the peak. He gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, since you don't believe it, then I will get into the box and prove it to you."
He got into the box and said: "Emma, close the box."
Behind the scenes, the girl's face was pale in the dark box, and cold sweat was flowing down her forehead like a waterfall.
But she still curled up her body, tried her best to wind the string, and pulled a lead.
The sound of machinery came out, and in front of the curtain, the scary doll was about toThe box is closed.
Zhao Chuanxin witnessed everything and found that not all of it was controlled by humans. The doll actually seemed to have a program and moved according to the trajectory.
According to his observation, there are at least six trajectory movements.
And this is achieved entirely by the transmission of various gear parts. Needless to say, it is really something.
The key thing is that this thing has no circuit board and no real computer program. It is all done mechanically.
After doing this, the girl was obviously extremely uncomfortable, leaning against the camera obscura as if she was exhausted.
The curled up body made it impossible for her to relieve her angina and unable to make a sound.
Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and pulled her out.
His mother had angina pectoris before.
He has some experience.
There was no stool behind the scenes, so Zhao Chuanxin knelt down on one knee, with one leg in a lunge, and put the girl on his knee, using it as a stool.
He said: "Sit upright, put your hands on your sides, bend your elbows, and align your palms with your knees. Follow my instructions, exhale slowly, don't be nervous. Okay, that's it, slowly Raise your head so that your calves and the ground form an obtuse angle, exhale slowly, slowly lower your knees, repeat these two steps..."
She is very thin, with pale lips, big eyes, and long eyelashes. Yes, she is a very pretty girl.
The pale complexion gave her a morbid beauty.
When angina pectoris occurs, people will feel weak all over.
The pain ranges from the chest to the back, and the dull pain can sometimes make people collapse.
Although the girl was surprised at this time, she had no time to think about it because of the onset of the disease.
Zhao Chuanxin’s voice is steady, powerful and convincing.
She instinctively did what Zhao Chuanxin said.
With only a slight weakness, Zhao Chuanxin took her slender hands to help her operate.
Not to mention, within a few breaths, the angina pectoris slowly eased.
But the performers in front suffered a lot.
After he entered the box, he shouted: "Emma, open the box."
The doll remained motionless.
The invited agent thought this was the effect of the show. He laughed loudly and said: "What did I say? Look, he is lying."
The performer also I thought that the girl behind the scenes wanted to whet the appetite of the audience.
He did not take it seriously and continued to shout: "Emma, be obedient and please open the box."
He called several times in a row, but the doll did not move at all.
The invited performer was a little anxious: "Can you do it?"
The performer was furious: "Emma, if you don't fucking open the box, I'll ask you later It’s beautiful.”
The doll still doesn’t move.
The audience whispered.
The performer collapsed: "Help, please come and help me open the box."
The man hesitated after hearing the request.
The audience doesn’t know why, and they won’t even move.
The performer isHe was very scared in the dark and narrow box, because the audience outside held their breath, as if he was the only one left in the world.
He said desperately: "Ross Mullen, come here and open the box for me. Are you crazy? Come here quickly."
The person who called Ross Mullen, this It suddenly dawned on me that something was really wrong.
He rushed over in three steps and two steps, opened the box and released the performer.
The audience was not really stupid. Now they finally understood. It turned out that the two of them, one applauding and the other making fun of, were both acting there.
Then the whole room burst into laughter.
The performer became so angry that after jumping out, he kicked Rose Mullen first, then angrily opened the curtain and shouted: "Emma, are you fucking dead in there?"
p>
At this time, Emma's face had just regained some color, but she was still weak and sat slumped on Zhao Chuanxin's knees.
The performer was so angry that he reached out to pluck the hair of the girl who called Emma.
Zhao Chuanxin reached out and clamped his wrist.
The performer tried to break free, but the big steel hand did not move at all.
At this time, someone in the audience exclaimed: "Ah, it's Mr. Zhao. I just listened to his speech at the British Embassy."
"Why is Mr. Zhao behind?"
"What private thing is he doing with that girl?"
"He is carrying the Queen behind his back..."
The performer's wrist was pinched, He screamed: "Let me go quickly."
Zhao Chuanxin glanced at him: "Emma has angina pectoris. Don't you know she has this problem?"
The performer then noticed Emma's face.
The anger on his face subsided, but he still felt a little embarrassed to get off the stage: "How do I know? Besides, angina pectoris will not kill you."
Only when the audience heard this, they understood, It turned out that the girl who was behind everything got sick, and it was Zhao Chuanxin who saved her.
Emma's body was trembling, and she struggled to stand up from Zhao Chuanxin's knees.
She said: "I'm sorry, this is my last performance. If it weren't for this gentleman, I might really die in it."
The performer was stunned for a moment, and then Sneered: "You ruined my performance, otherwise I will fire you."
Zhao Chuanxin stood up, patted the dust on his knees, and strolled out without incident.
The girl named Emma gently bent down and bowed to Zhao Chuanxin in thanks.
The crowd spontaneously applauded.
"God bless Mr. Zhao."
"The Queen is kind and Mr. Zhao is kind. They are a match made in heaven."
Flattery?
Old Zhao: "Ah...tui!"
Spitted out, ignored their flattery, put his hands in his pockets and left.
"Ah, that's what Mr. Zhao is like, he doesn't care about false reputation..."
"What a humble person!"
Zhao ChuanAfter hearing this, Xin thought to himself that people are really cheap.
The groom looked at Zhao Chuanxin with curiosity: "Sir, where are we going?"
"Back to Nuldenberg."
On the way .
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the dense gears and felt his scalp numb: "I can't understand."
Xingyue said: "I can imitate it, but it's meaningless. I think , Worm silk, central control rune fragments and this kind of machinery can be combined, but they need to be redesigned. We can make puppet soldiers of the Desert Emperor and Zhao Chuanxin’s soft gold. Armor, its principle is similar to that of animals, it is not gears, but sinews, using worm silk as tendons.
The performer's doll is a machine.
Zhao Chuanxin saw a mechanical doll that could write in a museum, and it was really amazing.
He shrugged and said: "What's the use? The strength, strength, and flexibility of dolls made of precision gears can't even be compared with rough puppet slaves, let alone black puppet craftsmen and puppet soldiers. ”
Xingyue said: “You have to do something about your white house in Kuitsalan, right? Even if it is a resort, it needs a cover to support its appearance, otherwise you will have to pretend to be a rich kid to cover up others’ eyes. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be suspicious that you have money for living expenses while doing nothing? No matter what you do, it’s always interesting to have a mechanical doll as a gimmick.”
Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin. It makes sense."
But he knew nothing about the design of this precision instrument.
Xingyue said: "The craftsman will be interested. Give him the drawings and he will help you design."
But at the moment, Zhao Chuanxin just wants to go back to see his daughter.
Having a pet can be rare for a long time, let alone a pink and fleshy biological daughter?
Juliana wants her father even more.
As soon as Zhao Chuanxin came back, he heard Juliana crying.
He hurriedly opened the door and took Juliana from Margot's arms: "Why are you crying?"
"Dad, you are already an adult dad, remember Don't run around in the future." Juliana said with a solemn face, tears hanging from her eyes.
"..." Zhao Chuanxin looked at Margot: "Say, whoever taught her to talk like this, I will beat him to death."
Margot said innocently: "I didn't teach you."
"I thought of it myself." Juliana stretched out her chubby arms to wipe away her tears and looked at Zhao Chuanxin: "Dad, what the hell, do I have to die today? ?"
"..." Zhao Chuanxin was confused: "Who taught you Chinese?"
"You talked to Xingyue, and I learned some."
"..." Zhao Chuanxin was horrified: "I don't care who you are, get off my daughter immediately. This body is not something you can possess."
Julianna: "..."
Zhao Chuanxin must accept the fact that Juliana's brain is far different from ordinary people.
It is a bit sensational.
But in terms of words and deeds Looking up, this must be his seed.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at Juliana’s clear eyes and said with a wry smile: “Daughter, daddy will give you a Chinese name. His name is Zhengzexi and his courtesy name is Lingjun. Your Chinese name will be called Zhao Lingjun from now on! "
Zhao Lingjun bit his finger: "Zhao Lingjun..."
Margot reminded: "Sir, you can't name the princess casually. "
"Haha, don't say stupid things. If anyone wants to object to his biological father naming his daughter, let him stand in front of me and say, "If I can't kill him, I will write the character Zhao upside down." "
Margot: "..."
Lingjun is Qu Yuan's word, describing the land as beautiful and flat.
Zhao Chuanxin was worried that his daughter was too evil. , let her have a calmer personality.
The daughter should follow her father's lead, but with some restraint.
The father can cheat a little, but it is better for the daughter not to cheat her father. At this time, the guard outside knocked on the door.
Since Wilhelmina made a confession, the guard to protect the princess must be arranged.
Margot opened the door and asked the guard what was going on. The guard said: “There are some entrepreneurs outside who want to meet Mr. Zhao. "
Margot looked at Zhao Chuanxin.
Zhao Lingjun lay on Zhao Chuanxin's shoulder and said: "Dad, let's go out to play..."
" Be good, let's go meet them first, maybe they will give us money. "
It's strange that nothing Margot says will work, but Zhao Chuanxin can negotiate anything he says.
Zhao Lingjun said: "I want money, I want money. ..."
