Liu Mazi's expression changed instantly, he bent his legs and fell to his knees, kowtowed to Zhao Shouhong and said, "My lord, you are so noble. I, Liu Mazi, am not a human being. I offended you old man, please forgive me."
"My lord, Liu Mazi didn't deliberately contradict you, I think..." Although shopkeeper Wang disdained Liu Mazi's behavior, he was still an acquaintance on the street after all, and couldn't bear to watch him offend the powerful.
Zhao Shouhong smiled and waved his hands and said, "Where did the shopkeeper Wang say? I didn't mean to bully others. I just wanted to let everyone see that domestic products may not be bad."
Zhao Shouhong reached into his arms, took out a money bag and still placed it on the table, and made a loud thud, anyone with experience could tell that there was at least 20 silver dollars in it.Zhao Shouhong pointed to the money bag and said, "Here is 25 Yingyang. If you can smash my watch, it will be yours. And I solemnly declare that I will never trouble you afterwards."
"Really?" Liu Mazi stared blankly at Zhao Shouhong, not knowing what to do.
Seeing that Zhao Shouhong was so serious, Zhan Youming knew that he couldn't change his mind.What's more, Zhao Shouhong's confidence also aroused Zhan Youming's curiosity. He also wanted to see how strong this watch is.He raised his head and said to Liu Mazi, "Since Mr. Zhao said so, he will keep his promise. You don't need to worry."
Liu Mazi dared to stand up, and almost fell to his knees again when he heard Zhan Youming's words.He thought to himself, my mother, she is really an adult, this time I don't want to mess around on the street.I have been wandering around for so many years, how could I be so short-sighted, and I have nothing to do to offend this lord.
It seemed that today was destined to be a bad day, so Liu Mazi gritted his teeth with this thought, since he was dead on both sides, he just had to try it once.The big deal is to give your watch to the other party, and then find someone to spend money to clear it, even if it costs a lot of money, just save your life.
Chapter 83 Solid Quality
With such a decision, Liu Mazi took the hammer with his trembling right hand, and with all his strength, he smashed it hard on the transparent glass case of the watch facing upwards.
Liu Mazi exerted so much force that the saucer jumped up. Fortunately, Zhao Shouhong and Zhan Youming supported the tea bowl so that it did not spill.Liu Mazi was furious in his heart and used all his strength, and he shocked everyone else.The onlookers thought that Liu Mazi would give a symbolic blow, and then kowtow to apologize, but they didn't expect that he would still have such a naughty attitude, and would make a decisive decision when the situation came to an end, so he would actually dare to hit it hard.
Shopkeeper Wang's heart sank. He felt that Liu Mazi was doomed this time. If he smashed his lord's watch, he would not be able to pay for it even if he lost his entire family.When Liu Mazi took the hammer away and everyone looked at the watch, everyone was surprised that the crystal clear watch case was not damaged at all, not even a trace of scratches.
Everyone was a little puzzled. They thought that Liu Mazi used skillful energy on purpose. Although it looked powerful, it didn't hurt the watch. It was actually to flatter the lord.Everyone felt relieved, but secretly sighed that Liu Mazi knew how to be a man, and he could even think of ways to curry favor under such circumstances.However, when Shopkeeper Wang reached for the watch and was about to hand it to Zhao Shouhong, he was surprised to find that the watch was embedded in the wooden table because of Liu Mazi's force.
The material of the table in the teahouse is naturally not very good, but no matter how bad it is, the table is still made of poplar wood.Liu Mazi was able to nail the watch into the table with a hammer, which is definitely not a small force.Everyone saw this situation, and they all let out a burst of exclamation. Only then did they know that it was not Liu Mazi who used ingenuity, but that this lord's watch was really extremely strong.
Seeing that everyone was convinced, shopkeeper Wang pulled out the watch with all his strength and sent it to Zhao Shouhong with a smile, "My lord, please take your watch back. Today we have opened our eyes. It is the first time we have seen such a fierce watch." Smash it without damaging the watch." The people next to him nodded repeatedly, and Liu Mazi bowed and bowed for a while and wanted to turn around and run away, but Zhao Shouhong stopped him.
"It's not over yet, why are you running?" Zhao Shouhong asked.
Liu Mazi was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed and bowed: "My lord, just treat me as a fart and let me go. The villain will not dare to be presumptuous again from now on."
Zhao Shouhong said: "What do you think? Is the domestic product better or the Japanese product better?"
"The domestic products are so good, I don't dare to say that the Japanese stuff is good anymore, please forgive me." Liu Mazi couldn't stop talking softly.
Zhao Shouhong nodded and said: "Let's forget about this matter, and we are not allowed to promote any Japanese goods in the future, you understand?"
"Yes, the villain knows." Liu Mazi nodded in fright.
"Get out." Zhao Shouhong waved his hand, and Liu Mazi fled immediately as if he had been pardoned.Because of the nervousness in his heart, he didn't see clearly when he went out, and was almost knocked down by the threshold, which caused a burst of laughter from the tea guests.Seeing that the matter was over, shopkeeper Wang was afraid that the two adults would not like being surrounded by people, so he immediately drove the other tea guests away.
"Where is this watch made? Why have I never seen it before? It's really made in China?" Looking away from Liu Mazi, Zhan Youming looked at the watch and couldn't help admiring it.
"Of course, this is produced in my brother's factory. It's just a trial production. The equipment for mass production has not yet been ordered. It will probably be sold in a few years." Zhao Shouhong smiled and handed the watch over: "Today It is really a great fortune in my life to meet Brother You Ming, and I have nothing to give, so I might as well give this watch to you. Field work requires a punctual watch, and you should need it most.”
"Why is this so embarrassing? Such a valuable thing." Zhan Youming wanted to push back, but Zhao Shouhong said, "Brother Youming said that, but he doesn't regard me as a friend anymore."
"You can't say that, you and I hit it off right away, and it can't be measured by objects." Zhan Youming insisted on not accepting it.
"It's so lively, what are you two doing?" Zhao Shouhong and Zhan Youming turned their heads and found several middle-aged people in their 40s and [-]s walking over. Some of them were wearing long robes and jackets, while others were wearing suits like Zhan Youming , Several people walking together make people have a rather weird sense of time travel.
"You guys are finally here, but let us wait. Huh? Brother Rong Guang is here too. Didn't you go out to find mines? Why are you still in the imperial capital?" Zhan Youming asked in surprise.
The man named Rong Guang shook his head with a smile and said, "I just found a coal mine in Xiangtan, and I returned to the imperial capital to rest for a few days."
Hearing that this person is an expert in prospecting, Zhao Shouhong raised his eyebrows but remained silent. Zhan Youming hadn't introduced him yet so he couldn't answer.Looking at Zhao Shouhong, Zhan Youming smiled and said, "Shouhong, let me introduce you to these people. This is Kuang Rongguang, the best mining and metallurgy engineer in China."
"Don't dare to act, dare not act." Kuang Rongguang said with a smile, cupping his hands.
"This is Luo Guoruiluo, who is now working at Xiakou Iron Works. Lu Xigui and Zhou Chuanjian, they are helping me repair the railway. This is Kuang Sunmou, and now he has gone to the Guangdong-Xiamen Railway as the chief engineer." Speaking of this, Zhan Youming was puzzled Asked: "Sun Mou, shouldn't you be building the Guangdong-Xiamen Railway? Why are you still in the imperial capital?"
As soon as Kuang Sunmou sat down, he slapped the table and sighed: "The payment is so late, why do we need to build roads? I resigned in a fit of anger."
"The country's affairs are difficult. It costs too much to build the railway, and it's really unsustainable." Luo Guorui sighed: "For example, the Dixia Railway has to borrow money from the Belgians, but they cut corners and materials, but the quality of the repairs is extremely poor."
"Don't talk about these disappointing things, now I have found a big job for you." Zhan Youming said, beckoning to shopkeeper Wang, "I'll serve you some more tea."
While speaking, Zhou Chuanjian saw Zhao Shouhong, and he asked Zhan Youming, "You have introduced us all, but you haven't asked who this little brother is."
Zhan Youming patted his forehead and said: "Look, I have forgotten, this is the young hero you often mention, Zhongchuan Ankang Daoist Zhao Shouhong."
"Oh? So it's Brother Shou Hongxian. Your deeds have spread throughout the imperial capital, and now storytellers are all talking about your deeds." Lu Xigui's eyes lit up when he heard it.
Hearing someone talking to him, Zhao Shouhong just woke up from the shock.The few people introduced by Zhan Youming are all the best among the young children who studied abroad in the early days. They are as famous as Zhan Youming. Unexpectedly, they all gathered in the small teahouse. How can this not make him ecstatic.
"It's all those storytellers talking nonsense. There are too many romantic elements in it, and I seem to be a heavenly soldier." Zhao Shouhong smiled and shook his head. In order to make the story vivid enough, those storytellers naturally added oil and vinegar, making themselves seem to be Single-handedly killed seven in and seven out of the Sa'er army, no matter how it sounds like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he almost put the plot of warming wine and killing Huaxiong on himself.
Chapter 84 Railway Engineers
"Otherwise, it's not a trivial matter to be able to defeat Saar's army without dying. No matter how romantic it is, it is equally astonishing. I heard that you led troops to surround the Saar embassy a few days ago?" Luo Guorui sighed.
"What's the matter? I was called to explain to the Saar country embassy that those Saar kingdom troops just wanted to drive away my guards, but in the end they gave in." Zhao Shouhong laughed.
"Okay, that's how it should be. Over the years, I've seen clearly that people in the Western Continent are bullying and fearing toughness. If you dare to fight him with real swords and guns, these guys are also afraid." Kuang Sunmou applauded like an angry youth.
"My lords, don't talk about state affairs, don't talk about state affairs." Shopkeeper Wang hurried over to dissuade them when he heard the voices of several people. Together with Li San, he served Luo Guorui and the others' tea, and also the snacks he ordered just now. Put it on the table and leave.
"Okay, everyone, please keep your voice down. There are some things you can't say in the teahouse here, and it's easy to cause trouble." Luo Guorui, the oldest, waved his hand and said, "What were you two arguing about just now? Tell me?"
"It was Shouhong who wanted to give me a watch, but I insisted not to accept it." Zhan Youming explained with a smile, and took out the watch at the same time.
"It's such an exquisite pocket watch." Several people here are all returned from studying abroad, and they are all interested in machinery. When they saw the exquisitely crafted wristwatch, Lu Xigui immediately exclaimed.
"It's not a pocket watch, it's a watch on your wrist. Shou Hongrang smashed it with a hammer just now, and the watch is embedded in the table, but it's not damaged at all. Look, not only the surface is not scratched, even the hands are intact." Walk well." Zhan Youming corrected with a smile.
"There is such a good watch?" Luo Guorui said: "It seems that there is no such good watch in the Western Continent. Is this made in Switzerland?"
"No, it was trial-produced in my factory." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "It's handmade, so it's more delicate."
"It's so smooth, there's no burrs at all. This craftsman is very skilled." Zhou Chuanjian couldn't help being moved.
"Shou Hong, you just said that this watch will never need to be wound, you can't be lying." Zhan Youming suddenly remembered what Zhao Shouhong said to Liu Mazi just now.
"Of course not. This watch is driven by electricity. As long as you wear it every day, you can charge it by waving your arms, and this watch can go on forever. Of course, if you don't exercise enough every day, It can also be wound manually." Zhao Shouhong introduced.
"So miraculous? Is it actually produced by my Houjin country?" Several people exclaimed.
"When I go back, let the craftsmen make a few more pieces and distribute them to everyone." Zhao Shouhong said with a smile: "Speaking of exquisite craftsmanship, who can give up Hualan?"
"Not bad." Several people nodded repeatedly, and they couldn't put it down for this watch.
Seeing the wolf-like eyes of several friends, Zhan Youming was afraid that they would steal the watch, so he quickly put it away: "You guys should drink tea, this watch will be discussed after Shou Hong gets it, let's talk about the business first. "
Luo Guorui gave Zhao Shouhong a deep look and said, "In the past two days, there have been rumors in the imperial capital that Shouhong will build a railway for the imperial court at his own expense. That's not the case, is it?"
"Brother Yue Sheng is right, I came here for this purpose. Originally, I wanted to ask Brother Youming to help, but now the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has just started construction, and it will take a long time, so Youming invited everyone Come over and talk about whether you can do me this favor." Zhao Shouhong said.
