Chapter VII Danger Prediction
When Lu Bu returned to the room, he saw his father Lu Shuxian leaning against the window with a helpless look at the sea view outside the window. Johnny comforted Lu Shuxian.
"Man, don't do this, those nobles are so virtuous, cheer up."
Lu Shuxian was not too disappointed. He was just uncertain about the future. After all, even if he was in a second-class cabin, he could feel the rejection of the people around him, including those Western civilians and homeless people in the third-class cabin.
Perhaps because of the weakness and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty over the years, the contempt and neglect of Chinese people outside became more serious, making the living environment of overseas Chinese became even worse.
It’s nothing to be rejected. As a businessman, if you can’t even accept this, don’t do this. What really makes him helpless is that this is not friendly environment. It’s difficult to make a business in China, but it’s difficult to gain a foothold overseas.
"Abu, how can we make a difference when we went to America?" Lu Shuxian looked at his four-year-old son. Although this seemed ridiculous, he was already used to his son's magicality. Maybe he forgot to drink Mengpo soup.
"This is also the reason why I don't want to go to New York and choose San Francisco. Since the Chinese Exclusion Act was passed, it will be more difficult for Chinese people to survive in big cities like New York. However, San Francisco experienced a major earthquake a few years ago. According to the information I found, San Francisco's reconstruction is coming to an end, but it still requires a large number of labor. It is still willing to accept Chinese workers here. So now there are many Chinese in San Francisco. When they go out, instead of looking for charity for people who look down on Chinese people, it is better to develop in places where Chinese people gather!"
The special system of Chinese workers who endure hardships and work hard was very popular among capitalists before the introduction of the Chinese Anti-Chinese Act. Although the Chinese Anti-Chinese Act has been issued, many places have secretly hired Chinese workers, just like there are eight Chinese workers on the Titanic.
Listening to his son's words, Lu Shuxian felt a sudden enlightenment.
"The capital world only depends on interests. As long as we grow bigger in San Francisco, these people will naturally come to you." Lu Bu said casually. He always believed that his own strength is the core, rather than selling his dignity to win others' favor. Once this kind of thing is done, even if it grows stronger in the future, it will always be inferior to others.
It is better to be neither humble nor arrogant. If you can make friends, it is best. If you can't, then be yourself. It is meaningless to deliberately please yourself except to damage your own value.
"I always thought... you might have given birth to a god!" Johnny looked at Lu Bu's face with a clear face and couldn't help but say to Lu Shuxian.
Not to mention a four-year-old child, even those who have lived like them for half their lives will find it difficult to sort out these things, which made Johnny think of the birth of Jesus.
He was speechless all night. The next morning, Lu Bu read a book on the bow of the ship as usual. He had been flipping over the Capital Theory several times, and he still felt like he couldn't let go of it.
"He seems to like reading, he is such a strange oriental child~" Jack and the girl from last night were wandering side by side on the deck, and he noticed Lu Bu standing at the bow of the boat from a distance.
The girl thought for a while, took the initiative to step forward, showed kindness to Lu Bu, and said, "Hello, thank you for what happened last night. You can call me Ruth."
Although Lu Bu was indifferent throughout the whole process, her idea of committing suicide was indeed dispelled or scared by Lu Bu. Although she was in danger because of this, it seemed that Lu Bu could not be blamed.
"Lu Bu, it's a simple task, no thanks." Lu Bu reached out and held Ruth gently.
Then there was nothing else. Lu Bu continued to read the book, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
"Can you understand this kind of book?" Ruth looked at the Capital Theory in Lu Bu's hands curiously. She felt that he was pretending. Even this kind of book looked very obscure. Seeing that Lu Bu ignored her and had a strong sense of self-esteem, she couldn't stand being ignored, so she asked a few questions she knew.
Lu Bu seemed more interested in this, and asked a few questions after answering casually, and then... Ruth was a little stunned.
Lu Bu shook his head in disappointment and continued reading. He shouldn't have expected such a child to understand anything.
Ruth felt a little stuffy in her chest. Although Lu Bu's disappointed look was not rude, it was heartbreaking. She seemed to be despised by an oriental devil in terms of IQ.
For Ruth, who has a strong self-esteem, it was more uncomfortable than the other party's rude and directly scolding her. She couldn't help but sarcasticly: "At a young age, you are so obsessed with this kind of book. It seems that your bloodline is also full of greed!"
Lu Bu looked up and looked at the ignorant girl in front of him in confusion.
"Silent?" Ruth looked like a proud swan, aiming her chin at Lu Bu proudly.
Lu Bu closed the book and turned around and left. He liked to communicate with thoughtful people, but unfortunately he couldn't find it on this boat, but it was sometimes really hard to communicate with ordinary people. It felt like two species, and it was not so hard to communicate with Chitu himself!
baffling.
"Stop, it's very rude to treat ladies like this!" Ruth grabbed Lu Bu and said angrily.
"Hey, Ruth, don't do this~" Jack was shocked. This little devil is not easy to mess with. If he really angered him, he might throw the person under the boat.
Lu Bu was also helpless. He didn't like to care about women at heart. It would be best if he could communicate. If Lu Bu couldn't give in, he would try his best to give in. However, this child had a strong self-esteem.
"You care a lot about others' opinions? Including a child like me?" Lu Bu could only show his age to try to get rid of this girl with strong self-esteem. His tone was as gentle as possible. A slight look or tone could make this girl furious. Is he too talented in this life and lost his luck?
“…”
After saying this, Ruth suddenly realized that it seemed a bit inappropriate for her to confront a child. Lu Bu's mature speech and expression made people unconsciously ignore his age and height.
"I am four years old this year. If I count the year in my mother's womb, I am five years old." Lu Bu looked at Ruth seriously.
Ruth let go of her hand with a embarrassed expression, looked at the little bald man in front of her and walked away with a book that was disproportionate to his body, turning her head to look at Jack: "This little bald man is not cute at all."
Jack shrugged: "He has always been like this."
"You are very familiar with him?" Ruth said curiously. Somehow, although she was not very happy, after getting along with Lu Bu, the depression in her heart became much less.
"I met you when I got on the boat. The little guy is very stylish." Jack and Lu Bu only met twice, but the impression left by Lu Bu on him was very deep. It seemed that there was an old man who had experienced vicissitudes in his young body. His intuition was always accurate in viewing people, but this time, Jack was a little shaken by his intuition.
Lu Bu returned to the cabin and did not continue reading. He had not visited this huge ship like a palace on the sea. Lu Bu was very curious about the design of this ship. The bigger the ship, the more problems it had to consider. It was not just simply enlarging the boat. The materials were very important. Although he could not contact the designer, don’t forget that Lu Bu himself was an excellent designer. He was unable to build such a large ship due to the times or the constraints of materials. But now with the finished product, even if there are no drawings, he could probably reversely push out the ship’s design drawings through various data.
Relying on his small body and strength, Lu Bu spent almost all day leisurely wandering around the boat.
In addition to being interested in the ideas derived from the West over the years, he is also interested in Western physics and chemistry. Compared with the Mo Jing, the West obviously went further in science. After returning, the Mo Jing needs to be re-compiled or changed its name?
Until the evening, after Lu Bu came back from a tour, he asked for paper and pen in the room to draw the design drawing of the Titanic. Soon, a rough sketch was completed.
Looking at this sketch, Lu Bu fell into deep thought.
"Bu'er, why are you in a daze?" Lu Shuxian looked at Lu Bu and said in confusion.
"If this length and width are hit, the material requirements here are extremely high." Lu Bu pointed to the position at the bottom of the ship: "A little worse, the ship will be gone."
Lu Shuxian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, there are many English and American nobles on this ship, so they will naturally consider this."
"If something really happens, they won't be able to do anything. There are lifeboats on the boat." Lu Bu looked at his father: "But the number is insufficient. Once a ship crash occurs, we will most likely be abandoned."
Lu Shuxian was stunned when he heard this, then waved his hand and said, "Bu'er, don't talk about these unlucky things, how much did Baixing Company spend to build this ship? How could it be possible to cut corners? Even if there is a problem, it is impossible to remain silent on the first voyage, right? At worst, we won't take this ship in the future."
Having said that, his expression was still a little unnatural, and he was somewhat scared by his son's words.
"Be the worst plan for everything." Lu Bu shook his head. Before everything is decided to win, he will first lose. This is to seek stability. He cannot place his hope for the future on his luck. In this vast ocean, if something happens, he still has a chance to survive. His father in this life does not have the physique of his change.
After drawing the ship's drawings, Lu Bu felt that the ship would sink sooner or later!
He has nine god-level talents.
Danger Prediction: When you encounter danger, you will have the ability to predict in advance, or think about things related to the future, if there is danger, you will also have a certain degree of predictive ability.
The moment he drew the picture, Lu Bu felt an ominous premonition in his heart, and others might not care about it, but Lu Bu believed in his premonition, his god-level talent and his judgment on the structure of the hull.
"I heard that the designer of this ship is also on the ship?" Lu Bu looked at Lu Shuxian and said.
"Yes." Lu Shuxian was frightened by his son's eyes.
