[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

As a scholar during the Guangxu period, Ling Ze was well aware of the difficulty of the imperial examinations, so he was very tired of these new style poems.However, he is an open-minded father, since his daughter likes it, he won't say much.And he had known for a long time that the new-style poems that his daughter played with her classmates were just young people's socializing, even if they were really brought in front of those masters, such masters as Wang Guowei would not care about them.

However, he never expected that in this world, there are still young people who are about the same age as his own daughter who have such high attainments in ancient poetry.

After all, Ling Ze felt sorry for his daughter, so he smoothed things over and said, "Mr. Zhao just arrived in the UK, why did he think of hiring a secretary, and he asked for a woman?"

"Because I plan to calm down and write a book. There is no requirement on gender, but from the perspective of China, Puyi should abdicate next year. If it is from the perspective of the world, within two or three years, it will explode. In a world war, the whole of Europe will be involved, and the United States will rise along with it.”

"what!"

Ling Ze's reaction was much more excited than that of the young man. He even stood up abruptly, causing Matthew to raise his head in surprise.

It was Zhao Changqing who was angry just now, but now this gentleman lost his composure. What is his client talking about?Are those papers so important?

Matthew's eyes couldn't help but drift to the few pieces of paper.

What was written on it?

Not only Matthew was curious, but even Zhang Jiasen's German classmates and the tabloid reporter couldn't help but glance at the papers.

Zhao Changqing didn't seem to care about it at all and said: "My minimum requirements for a secretary are to be able to write and count, to be able to work at night, and to be obedient and not to make her own decisions. Although Ms. Zhang does not have a diploma, I heard that she has attended a new school for two years. In the school, there is no problem with reading and writing, but the English is not fluent enough. However, there will be another secretary in charge of the English, French, and German parts. Besides, I heard that the Zhang family is a famous family in Songjiang Prefecture?"

The last sentence was for Zhang Jiasen.

Zhang Jiasen nodded quickly: "Yes, sir."

Zhang Jiasen's fourth brother is Shen Shizhe's fanboy, so he always lied to Shen Shizhe between Zhang Lingjun and Shen Shizhe, but Zhang Jiasen felt sorry for his sister.More importantly, just now, Shen Shizhe slapped Shen Shizhe three times in the face of Shijing style, Lisao style and Qilu style, and also won Zhang Jiasen's heart.

If Zhang Jiasen was dissatisfied with Zhao Changqing in all kinds of ways before, then now, if he is willing to have his sister, Zhang Jiasen will definitely agree with both hands and feet!He's even willing to help with parenting.

This is the sorrow of women in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.In this era, it was widely believed that a divorced woman could only serve as a concubine.

"There are two contracts here. One is about purchasing silk. These silks are for my own use, but there are more types. I have already made a list. I don't know the current price of silk in China. You can estimate it first. One price. The deposit is to pay half of the estimated price first. The other contract is about the abdication of Emperor Xuantong of the Qing Dynasty..."

Only then did Ling Ze come to his senses, and suddenly pressed Zhao Changqing's shoulder:

"You said Long Live will abdicate?"

It was impossible for Ling Ze to believe that the emperor would abdicate. Just like the French back then, they couldn't believe it. They voted to cut off the head of King Louis XVI.

Zhao Changqing said: "Although the European countries were still in the dark and barbaric Middle Ages 400 years ago, there is no shortage of precedents in their history. After the emperor grew up, he worked hard to make the country come back to life and become a world power. Therefore, they will never let China will continue to be unified. They will use the |revolution|revolution to abdicate Emperor Xuantong, and they will also make small moves behind the scenes to stir up various forces and let China step by step into a chaotic period of warlord separatism."

"how come……"

"Believe it or not."

Ling Ze is already stupid.

Zhao Changqing turned to Zhang Jiasen and said, "I brought a lawyer here today because I hope to use your family's strength. According to my estimation, Emperor Xuantong should abdicate in February next year. However, he will continue to live in the Forbidden City. Even if the new government treats him according to the etiquette of foreign monarchs and pays him huge fees, the end of the Qing Dynasty is an indisputable fact. The national treasures in the Forbidden City will continue to be left outside, or they will be stolen and sold, or Because the Qing government wanted to restore the country, and hoped to raise funds by selling national treasures.”

Zhang Jiasen was dumbfounded, but Zhao Changqing didn't stop:

"What I want your Zhang family to do is to help me buy these national treasures to prevent them from being destroyed by war or falling into the hands of foreigners. This is a contract."

Zhang Jiasen still didn't react, even after being reminded, he was still confused:

"how is this possible……"

Zhao Changqing replied: "You don't have to make a decision now. Anyway, when Emperor Xuantong abdicates in February next year, don't you know whether what I said is true or not?"

Zhang Jiasen said in a chaotic manner: "I, I hope to discuss it with my family."

"Okay. Then, I'll take my leave first." Walking to the door, Zhao Changqing seemed to suddenly remember, and said, "That's right. I think you have already heard about the unfavorable maiden flight of the Olympic ship of Canard Company. said."

"Yes, it is."

The international students looked at each other, wondering why Zhao Changqing said this, and suddenly changed English.

Zhao Changqing said: "Olympic also has a sister ship, the Titanic, which is expected to be tested in early April next year, and its maiden voyage will be on April 48. My suggestion is not to take that ship. That ship The design of the ship is flawed. Although Canard boasted that the four watertight cabins would not sink in the water, the watertight partitions of this ship were not built very high. In order to please the first-class guests, the 16 lifeboats on the deck were It has been reduced to 40. Moreover, the hull of this ship is too large and the rudder is too small, and it is impossible to turn in time when it encounters an iceberg. The most important point is that the naval architect only pays attention to the strength of steel, but forgets to pay attention to the toughness of steel. In order to pursue the strength of the steel, too much sulfide is added to the steel, and there is only one result in the end. This kind of steel will undergo terrible brittle fracture when it is soaked in the cold seawater from minus [-] degrees Celsius to zero degrees Celsius. That is to say, Once something happens, the only end for that ship is to break in two in the middle and sink to the bottom of the sea."

Leaving the room full of stunned men and women, Zhao Changqing turned around and left. The tabloid reporter reacted very quickly, and quickly chased after him, saying:

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Zhao Changqing turned his head.

"Sir, is what you say true?"

"If you don't believe me, you can get a few rivets from the Titanic, soak them in ice water for three days, and see what happens."

The reporter hurriedly recorded it in the notebook, and Zhao Changqing had already gone downstairs again, halfway there he found something was wrong, Matthew didn't follow, Zhao Changqing turned his head strangely.

Matthew stood on the stairs, stared at Zhao Changqing's eyes, and said, "Is what you said true? Steel will break..."

"Steel with too much added sulphide does."

"I, I,... would you mind meeting someone?"

Zhao Changqing was puzzled.

It has to be said that Matthew Crowley is a very upright person. He knows that his abilities are limited, so he hopes to use his family, the Earl of Grantham, to prevent this tragedy from happening.

Because the matter was so serious that he brought Zhao Changqing to the door without contacting Earl Grantham in advance.

This surprised everyone in Downton Abbey.

Although surprised, Countess Carat entertained them very warmly.

At this time, it is not when the story in the TV series begins, but before the story begins.At this time, Mary, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Grantham's family, was engaged to the Duke's second in line heir, that is, the earl's distant cousin—the first heir in line was the father of the distant cousin. It is the earl's cousin - there are two young ladies waiting to be married in Downton Abbey.

Among them, Miss Hippel is still young, so she is not in a hurry, but Miss Edith is 19 years old and has no partner. In addition to the British social tradition, the older sister is not married, and the lower sister cannot enter the social world. It also made Edith more nervous.

There is no way, she is not as beautiful as her two sisters, and the three sisters of Downton Abbey are well-known paupers in the aristocratic circle. If she doesn't hurry up, she will become an old girl—in England, she is not yet 20 years old. A married girl will inevitably be pointed at and called an old maid-this also makes her have to keep an eye on every single man who comes to Downton Abbey as a guest.

However, Edith's hatred for marriage has not surpassed her discrimination against people from the Far East. Even if Zhao Changqing is dressed in gorgeous clothes, she has no intention of getting in touch with him.It wasn't until the dinner that Matthew publicly stated that Zhao Changqing intended to buy the Rose Manor next door, which attracted the attention of the three sisters.

There is no way, who made the Far East in this period synonymous with barbarism and backwardness in the minds of Europeans?

Even Mrs. Clara couldn't help but said: "Rose Manor? I remember that Lord Townsend's asking price is not small, a full 50 pounds, and he has to pay in one lump sum."

The exchange rate between the British pound and the U.S. dollar during this period was almost one to five, that is to say, one pound was exchanged for five dollars, and 50 pounds equaled 250 million U.S. dollars, which was not a small amount.Not to mention that Zhao Changqing is from the Far East, and he has to pay an additional tax more than the British.Putting it all together, it will cost Zhao Changqing at least 300 million US dollars to win the Rose Manor.

This is definitely not a small amount.

Matthew said: "Yes. Mr. Zhao entrusted this matter to our firm."

Edith couldn't help but said: "I think Mr. Zhao is very young. What kind of occupation is he doing?"

Zhao Changqing smiled: "For now, he is just a small businessman."

Matthew immediately saw a slight change in the expressions of the Countess and Miss Edith. Although it was not obvious, it couldn't be hidden from him as a lawyer.
