112 bicycles

When Chen Zaixing heard this, he realized why his wife looked like this just now. Although Luo Lin and his younger brother were intimate when they fled together, they moved. However, the times moved. I guess the younger brother was very friendly with her when the sister was in power, but Wuqing was the most imperial family. Who knew what kind of face would Luo Qin have after he ascended the throne? Thinking of this, Chen Zaixing couldn't help but shivered.

The old monk saw Chen Zaixing standing there and was distracted, and hurriedly said farewell in a low voice: "Neighbor, the little monk has something to do, so he will leave first. Please forgive me for everything I have said!"

Chen Zaixing hurriedly greeted him and said, "It's natural. I must keep my mouth shut for what I've done just now. Please rest assured to respect my teacher!"

Looking at the monk's hurried back as if he was running away, Chen Zaixing smiled bitterly on his face. He didn't expect that such a small country as Myanmar also had such dirty imperial family history. Fortunately, there was no civilization as prosperous as China. Even all kinds of scandals of emperors and generals were recorded, thinking that future generations would comment. However, I don't know whether this is a good or a bad thing.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law!"

While Chen Zaixing was thinking, he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly behind him. When he looked back, he said that Cao Cao was here. The person who came was Chen Zaixing's brother-in-law, Luo Qin, the most qualified heir to the throne of the Burmese Kingdom. He ran over with a smile on his face and shouted repeatedly: "Brother-in-law, I have a fun new thing here, come and take a look!"

"What's new? Luo Qin, don't be so anxious!" Chen Zaixing tidied up his wrinkled sleeves and began to look at the object in front of him. He saw that the object was linked by two wheels of different sizes. There was an object in the middle that was obviously a seat, and there were two pedals below the seat.

"It turned out to be a bicycle. I'm a new thing. I've seen it in Shanghai several years ago!" Chen Zaixing said with a smile: "It's very convenient for the things invented by the Western devils, but they can only be on a particularly flat road. They are a little bumpy and bumpy, which shakes away the bones." He stepped forward and patted the seat twice, feeling a slight rebound from below. Obviously, there are springs installed under the smooth leather cushions, which can buffer the impact generated during the journey.

"Brother-in-law, my car is the latest and will never bump!" Luo Qin smiled proudly.

"really?"

"Brother-in-law, if you don't believe me, you can try it!" Luo Qin pushed the bicycle in his hand into Chen Zaixing's arms. Chen Zaixing rode carefully twice. As Luo Qin said, he only felt a slight vibration from the body, which was completely different from the memory of the memory that almost broke the bone frame in his memory. Chen Zaixing jumped out of the car and looked at the strange bicycle for a while. At first, he thought it was because of the new cushion equipped with springs, but as the observation progressed, he found that there was a circle of black glue on the steel outer ring of the two wheels. He reached out and touched it, and a rough touch came from his fingertips.

"Brother-in-law, you are really smart. You found the key for the first time!" Luo Qin, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "It took me more than twenty minutes to find this key. The thing is called the inflatable forum. There is a pipe full of air inside. With that thing, no matter how uneven the road is, the people on the car will feel much more comfortable."

Chen Zaixing stood up and asked in a low voice: "Luo Qin, has that businessman ever said what this hose is made of?"

"Let me think about it, it seems to be a very strange name!" Luo Qin frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly patted his thigh: "By the way, it's called rubber, it seems to be produced from a tree produced in South America, so it's very expensive. This car costs me for 40 pounds. He said that two-thirds of the price are spent on these two wheels."

"rubber?" Chen Zaixing repeated this somewhat difficult-to-mouth word several times and imprinted it deeply into his mind. As a businessman, he had already keenly felt the important use of this pneumatic tire. With this new tire, the vehicle's carrying capacity and transportation efficiency will increase sharply, which is undoubtedly a huge help in expanding the road carrying capacity between Myanmar and Dashun. The key to everything is this strange colloid.

"Luo Qin, do you have the contact information of this businessman? I am very interested in this bike and want to buy one to play with it!" Chen Zaixing handed the bike back to Luo Qin.

"My brother-in-law also wants this thing, which is very strange." Luo Qin smiled and took the car: "I'll let my men inform the merchant and let him come to the palace in the afternoon!"

"Okay!" Chen Zaixing suppressed his excitement and walked towards his residence.

Three hours later.

"Mr. William, can you confirm that the tires on the bicycle are made of the glue produced by this tree?" Chen Zaixing suppressed his excitement and pointed to a page on a picture album in his hand. This picture album was given to him by Ornell Bangji for introducing the properties of rubber trees.

"That's right, although I'm curious about where you got this album!" The British businessman named William replied with a smile: "But the raw materials for this tire are produced from this tree. The rubber cutting worker first cuts a hole in the skin of the tree, and then this wonderful tree will secrete white juice from the wound. After being left for a while, it will turn black. After being vulcanized, it can be used to make this hose. Unfortunately, this tree is only available in Brazil, South America, so it is very expensive!" Speaking of this, William showed a regretful expression on his face.

"Thank you very much for your introduction, this has increased my knowledge!" Chen Zaixing smiled satisfied on his face, and he stretched out his right hand: "I am very interested in this kind of bicycle. I want to buy two, no, ten of these bicycles."

"Thank you very much!" William hurriedly reached out and grabbed the right hand of the noble man in front of him. Four hundred pounds is not a small amount. He bowed diligently and said in a gentle voice as much as possible: "Generous Lord, now I only have six bicycles on hand, and the rest will take two months to transport it. Please understand that after all, there are not many noble men like you who can pay for such elegant goods in Mandalay, and I don't prepare so much stock!"

"Well, then in two months, you will deliver the six cars you have now, and you can go to my butler to get the payment for the goods!" Having said this, Chen Zaixing picked up the teacup beside him and started drinking tea.

As a businessman who has been doing business in East Asia for many years, William understood that this was a noble man's hint that the reception was over. He quickly stood up, bowed slightly, and took six or seven steps backwards until the door before turning around and leaving.

While tasting tea, Chen Zaixing was planning gains and losses in his mind. There is no doubt that rubber is a very important strategic substance. No matter in the international market or in the future, Dashun domestic market, there is no need to worry about sales. Not to mention anything else, Dashun's tens of millions of vehicles, all equipped with rubber tires, is Chen Zaixing's business that he will never finish in his lifetime. Compared to this, the strange talks of Ornell Bangji are just some harmless minor problems. Thinking of this, Chen Zaixing began to understand Jilins' actions, "As long as the price is paid, the capitalists are willing to sell us the rope that hangs themselves." But who can guarantee that the rope must be put on his neck? Maybe it is put on the neck of his competitors, wouldn't it be a kill of two birds with one stone?

"Go to see that Ornell Bangji right away?" Chen Zaixing stood up, but he stopped immediately. The reason was very simple. He still couldn't see through the young businessman. At this time, it was inappropriate to show too much enthusiasm for reaching an agreement, because it meant that you had to make greater concessions. Based on past experience, the negotiating party should be as cold as possible and have more choices so that he could gain an advantage in the subsequent negotiations.

"Come!" Chen Zaixing sat down and ordered in a deep voice to the butler who was standing in front of him with his body bent halfway, "To Mr. Ornell Bangji, you should treat me the same way as you want to meet all his requirements. But try to prevent him from going out. If you can't do it, you should not let others meet him. Do you understand?"

"The villain understands!"

"Also, everything he has done in the manor these days must be recorded clearly and sent to my room at night!"

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Zaixing looked at the butler's departure, and his eyes gradually became gloomy. This was his sign of contemplation. After confirming the huge potential of the rubber plantation, Chen Zaixing became more and more aware that his career was inseparable from the mastery of this land. If anyone dared to stand in the way of his progress, there would be only one end, that is destruction.

"Come on, go and ask, is Your Majesty the eldest princess awake?" Chen Zaixing stood up and shouted: "If you wake up, I will say I want to see him!"

"Yes, sir!"

Shanghai, Hanbi Tower in Yuyuan.

This garden, known as "Qixiujia Jiangnan", was built during the Jiajing period of the previous dynasty. It was built by Pan Yunduan, son of the Minister of Justice of the Ming Dynasty at that time. It was originally intended to let both parents spend their old age in the courtyard. The word "Yu" in the name of Yu Garden means to please the old relatives. Later, the Pan family fell, and this famous garden has been circulated several times, and now it has fallen into the hands of the Liu family of Houde Bank. Because this place is located in the old town in the eastern part of Shanghai, the transportation is very convenient and the quietness is also quiet, so it is not expected to be disturbed by outsiders, so the negotiation address between the two sides on the Ryukyu issue this time was chosen here.

"It's true that he is worthy of being the best country in China. This is simply a manifestation of the pinnacle of garden art!" Kuroshima Hitosawa's eyes swept through a Taihu rockery outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh repeatedly. This time, as the personal secretary and confidant of Prime Minister Inoue Kin, he became a member of the Japanese mission. Following Katsurao to Shanghai, the Chinese side arranged them in the Yu Garden. He still saw the Chinese garden and couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

Sorry, a friend just came back, it was too late to update, please forgive me!
