[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

Although he has not served Zhao Changqing for a long time, Matthew already has some understanding of this big client.That is, this guy will play tricks on people when he is in a bad mood. Although this guy is rarely angry, once he is angry, it is difficult to get rid of it.

In other words, those Chinese students pissed off this guy, and although the ladies and ladies of Downton Abbey are absolutely impeccable in etiquette, but as aristocrats, their arrogance when facing the middle class, and As an Englishman, the deep-rooted contempt for Far Easterners accompanied by the idea that Far Easterners are barbarians is more likely to arouse the other party's anger than that kind of deliberate insult.

Matthew suddenly realized that he had made a seriously wrong decision. He shouldn't have brought Zhao Changqing to Downton Abbey at all. He should have come to see Earl Grantham by himself.

Matthew had no choice but to speak by himself: "Actually, I'm here today because I heard something from Mr. Zhao."

"whats the matter."

Lord Grantham was very strange.

Although it is said that Matthew is the third heir to Earl Grantham, it can be said that now that the first and second heirs are both healthy, Earl Grantham really rarely sees him. The third heir to the middle class.Earl Grantham was also at a loss as to the real intention of Matthew's visit.

Matthew quickly said: "I wonder if you have heard of the cold brittleness of steel?"

Earl Grantham shook his head and said, "Is there any question?"

Not to mention that the Earl was an old-fashioned aristocrat, not a scholar, but according to history, scientists of this era only discovered the brittleness of steel after the Titanic accident.

Matthew hurriedly said this, and then said: "According to Mr. Zhao, the steel used for the Titanic is completely unqualified. After such a ship is launched, there will definitely be problems."

Mary said: "But there has been no problem before."

Edith immediately challenged her sister: "It's because there was no catastrophe, not because there is no problem." Then she turned to Matthew and said, "So, you hope to use Dad's strength to make people realize the brittleness of steel? "

Matthew said: "Yes, Miss Edith."

Earl Grantham said: "Is there any test data?"

Matthew shook his head.

"Is there any scholar's signature?"

Matthew shook his head again.

Lord Grantham hesitated.

Although he is a nobleman, without evidence, it is really difficult for him to convince the members of the House.

Sipper asked curiously: "Mr. Zhao, how do you know this?"

There is no way, in this era, the East is a backward and wild land, and this perception is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.Although Sipper himself thinks that he has no prejudice against Orientals, shouldn't this kind of knowledge related to metallurgy be brought up by the West, such as France, Germany, or Americans?Why was it a Chinese who raised it first?

Sipper thought about it, and felt that if a member of the Royal Academy of England or the French Academy of Sciences proposed the cold brittleness of steel today, she would never doubt it.

but,

a Chinese!

Few people are willing to believe just looking at the other party's black hair, black eyes and yellow skin, okay? !

Matthew knew that if this continues, the female family members of Downton Abbey will probably annoy Zhao Changqing, so he said: "My lord, I know this is presumptuous. However, we can try to get some steel. Steel, ice water, It doesn't cost much. But if we prove the cold brittleness of steel, we can at least avert a tragedy."

It's not too difficult.

Earl Grantham immediately said: "Okay, I will go to Ireland."

The Titanic was built in Irish shipyards.

Then Mary turned to Zhao Changqing and said, "How did Mr. Zhao know about this frivolity?"

If Mary wants to believe it, she should tell how the husband discovered the cold brittleness of steel.

But she used the word "know".

A touch of discrimination scattered in the wind.

Zhao Changqing said indifferently: "100 years before you Europeans crossed the Cape of Good Hope, my compatriots had already reached the east coast of Africa, and even in the age of great voyages, all the nautical charts that the pirates could find were from my compatriots. At that time, we were able to manufacture ocean-going ships more than 100 meters long and 40 to [-] meters wide, so what’s so strange about knowing the brittleness of steel?”

Sipper immediately said: "That's simply impossible! Everyone knows that that era was the era of wooden sailboats! To build such a big boat, there must be trees tall enough to make the keel!"

"If you don't believe it, forget it."

"It's not that I don't believe you, but that there are no such big trees in this world."

Mrs. Clara had no choice but to speak: "Sippel, the American Giant Sequoia is very tall, and the gap at the root can even allow cars to pass! Sorry, Mr. Zhao, please forgive my little daughter's ignorance."

Even though he said so, Zhao Changqing could see that this lady only believed in Zheng He's voyages.

She doesn't believe in the brittleness of steel.

"It doesn't matter, Miss Sipper is a lovely and straightforward lady. Moreover, it is a very important scientific principle not to jump to conclusions without seeing it with your own eyes, and I can understand it."

When Sipper heard it, he became angry.

She felt underestimated, and the reason seemed to be that she was only a girl!

"Mr. Zhao also thinks that girls just need to stay at home obediently, right?"

Sipper's blurted words immediately aroused the displeasure of her father, the Earl of Grantham.

"Sippel!"

Lord Grantham was annoyed at his daughter's faux pas.

Of course he knew that it was because Zhao Changqing was from the East.If it were an English gentleman, Sipper's tone would definitely not be so aggressive.

Zhao Changqing looked at Earl Grantham, and then said to Sipper: "Miss, your words are a bit confused, as a foreigner who has just come to England, I can't give you an answer until I understand what you really mean. "

Sipper asked, "Are you prejudiced against women?"

Zhao Changqing frowned, and then said, "That's what your newspaper said, that women should also work?"

"Yes."

Zhao Changqing thought for a while and said: "This involves culture and tradition, so I don't know if my answer will offend you. However, it is said in the education I got since I was a child that a country is a society, and a family It is the smallest unit of social formation. If a family is a small society, this is entirely possible. Since the family is a small society, there is a social division of labor. From the perspective of division of labor and cooperation, in the small society of the family, Men are responsible for moving materials to the small society of the family, while women are responsible for arranging these materials to the specific places where they are needed and ensuring the normal operation of the small society of the family. As for raising children, it is the joint responsibility of both husband and wife. I don’t know I know what human rightsists and feminists think about my words. In my opinion, the responsibilities and obligations of a man and a woman in a complete family are the same. A complete family also needs a man. The master and the hostess share the responsibility. Therefore, the status of the master and the hostess in the family is also equal.”

"So as a businessman, would you hire women?"

"It depends on the position. For example, if it's a secretary and there happen to be two applicants, a man and a woman, who are equally good, well educated, and have equally good grades in the entrance exam, then I'll give priority Recruit women. Because women are more careful. However, if it is a position like a bodyguard, of course I will consider men, and veterans are preferred. When recruiting staff, the position needs are the first considerations.”

Sippel was satisfied.

Edith then said: "Actually, it is very simple to prove the cold brittleness of steel. Just get a rivet and freeze it in ice water for two days, and then tap it to see if it breaks, it means that there is cold brittleness."

Mary said: "If frigidity really existed, something would have happened long ago. I know, you are talking about the Titanic. But the maiden voyage of the Titanic was in April, and spring was already blooming at that time It's time. And it's still a mild winter this year."

Zhao Changqing said: "Warm winter means that icebergs that break off from the Arctic Ocean will drift farther than in previous years. Warm winter also means that mirages are more likely to appear on the Atlantic Ocean in the following spring. That is to say, if you are unlucky, maybe The iceberg was already in sight, and the lookout on the ship had just discovered it. At that time, the oversized hull and undersized rudder would only make the ship unable to turn in time."

"But the Titanic had sixteen watertight compartments, but four of them were flooded, and it could still float on the sea."

"The problem is, someone heard about this and cut corners on the bulkhead that was supposed to go all the way to the side of the ship. The bulkhead on the Titanic ended up only reaching D deck..."

"Hearing you say that, it seems that something will happen to that ship!"

Zhao Changqing said: "Yes. If someone is stupid again after the accident, it is estimated that more than [-] passengers and crew members will be buried in the belly of the fish."

"you!"

"I know, you will definitely not believe me now. Yes, I am Chinese, and China has fallen into suffering because of the Opium War launched by the United Kingdom. The whole country is still in a nightmare. Logically speaking, as a Chinese, I should It's good to be silent and watch your fellow man suffer and gloat behind your back. I'm sitting here today because of Mr. Matthew Crowley's plea and because of humanitarianism. I've done what I can , As for whether you believe it or not, that is your business."
