[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

On the way back to Matthew's office from Downton Abbey, Matthew couldn't help asking Zhao Changqing: "Do you think that Earl Grantham can stop this tragedy in time?"

Zhao Changqing didn't answer directly, but said, "If you had enough confidence, you wouldn't ask me."

Matthew was silent.

That's right, if before visiting Downton Abbey, Matthew was very sure that his family, the Earl of Grantham, had enough energy, then now, Matthew is also very clearly aware that his illustrious Relatives are now only superficial.

It's a bit mean and cruel, but it's the truth.In this world, money and power are always inseparable.If the Earl of Grantham is really as powerful as Matthew imagined before, then the second lady of Downton Abbey, Edith, will not hate marriage so much. After all, her sister is engaged, and she should be It's her turn.But looking at the performance of that Miss Edith, it is really hard to believe how much energy the Grantham family has left.

"Actually, when the current Earl of Grantham decided to marry the daughter of an American millionaire in order to maintain Downton Abbey, which is now the Countess, it has already explained a lot of things."

Hearing Zhao Changqing speak, Matthew realized that he had spoken.

Matthew quickly apologized: "Ah, I'm sorry."

Zhao Changqing said lightly: "It doesn't matter. You are a person of noble character, and you want to do everything you can to help your compatriots and save your compatriots from bad luck. I can understand that. Because I am the same, otherwise, I wouldn't put The news was revealed to those overseas students."

Matthew had a flash of inspiration: "So you did it on purpose?"

Zhao Changqing smiled: "That's right. The tabloid reporter's reaction is also within my calculations."

"So, do you think we can really stop that tragedy?"

Zhao Changqing thought for a while and replied, "If it can be changed, then it's not called destiny."

The heaviness in the voice made Matthew's heart skip a beat.

"Sir? Zhao?"

Matthew desperately hoped to get an answer from Zhao Changqing.

Looking at the request in Matthew's eyes, Zhao Changqing sighed and said, "Do you know that the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, almost failed to return to the port due to an accident on its maiden voyage?"

Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, I saw it in the newspaper."

Zhao Changqing said: "Then, do you know the previous financial situation of Canard Company? What kind of impact do you think the failure of Olympic's maiden voyage will have on this company? How will their financial situation change? You can tell us about this. Have you ever thought about it?"

It's no secret.After all, as a public company, Canard Corporation publishes its financial statements every quarter.Therefore, it is an open secret that Canard's financial situation is not good, otherwise it would not be targeted by IMM International Shipping Company.

An accident occurred on the Olympic's maiden voyage, and for Canard Company, which was already in a bad financial situation, it was even worse.

"However, IMM International Shipping Company spent a lot of money to acquire this company..."

"This also means that the debt originally belonging to Canard Company has been transferred to IMM International Shipping Company. IMM International Shipping Company spent a lot of money and ended up buying a pile of debt back. Under such circumstances, they Desperate to see profits, to see big money coming in."

For a ship, only when it is put into use can it bring in a steady stream of funds.

Matthew was shocked, and said: "So, no matter what, whether it is IMM International Shipping Company, White Star Company, or Canard Company, they all need the Titanic to be launched on time."

"Correct."

A simple word and a simple pronunciation cut Matthew to the ground like a blow from an epee.Even wearing a thick woolen coat couldn't make Matthew feel the slightest warmth.

As for the driver, Tom the Communist, he just snorted.

The virtues of those capitalists have long been clearly stated in "Das Kapital".

Just like that, the car drove to the door of Matthew's law firm, and there were unexpectedly many people standing at the door. Among them, Ling Yin was obviously the most outstanding, not to mention her black-haired, black-eyed oriental appearance In other words, her elegant and slender posture, as well as her simple and decent attire, made her look like an elegant swan, noble and beautiful.

It has to be said that in terms of temperament alone, Ling Yin is undoubtedly the kind of beauty that stands out from the crowd. No matter where she stands, no matter how many people are around, as long as she is around, the focus of everyone's attention must be her.

Even if there are two outstanding European beauties standing beside her.

In contrast, Zhang Jiasen, who was standing on the other side of the steps, looked very restless. Coupled with the general inferiority complex of Chinese people in this era, it made him look like a servant running errands.

Between Zhang Jiasen and Ling Yin is John Holden, Zhao Changqing's new housekeeper. Behind him are two women, one is a blond, blue-eyed, soft-tempered Germanic beauty, just like Marie Antoinette back then. In the mural, there is a big beauty who looks like walking down, and one is a woman with black hair and green eyes, who is as cold and arrogant as a queen.

Apparently, it wasn't long before Holden and the others arrived at the office, because the receptionist of the office was opening the door for them.

This is the unspoken rule of this era. As an Oriental, even if Zhang Jiasen is Zhao Changqing's guest, he can only wait outside the door, and Horton and others, even if they are Zhao Changqing's servants, they can also enter. office.

The social status of the Chinese in European countries during this period can be seen.

After entering the office, Matthew knew that there were more than three people who came to Zhao Changqing today, because there were two people waiting for Zhao Changqing in the office. Stephen, who is also a professional manager, is in charge of managing Zhao Changqing's workshop. He took out a bunch of reports from his briefcase with awe in his face, and said, "Mr. Zhao, as of the end of last month, the net income of your workshop The profit is £37."

"Are there any delays in the final payment of the workshop, workers' salaries, and raw materials?"

Zhao Changqing is more concerned about this.

"No. According to your request, I have stockpiled various raw materials for half a year. In addition, I have also purchased part of the other raw materials and equipment you want, and the rest need to be customized. Here is the list."

The small blue pills that have just been launched are packaged in glass bottles, but Zhao Changqing plans to replace them with the plastic packaging of later generations of vitamin C Yinqiao tablets.

The patent has come down.

After all, countless medicines in his pharmaceutical empire will need this technology in the future.

Not only this plastic packaging technology, but also sugar coating technology and capsule technology, as long as it is possible to use related technologies that are not available in this era, he has applied for patents.

For Robert Stephen, as a graduate of Cambridge University, Zhao Changqing can be said to be his second employer and the most powerful employer he has ever heard of.

In fact, Robert Stephen never thought that a newly established company, which had no foundation in the UK or even the whole of Europe before, could earn a net profit of 37 pounds in less than two months!

It's almost like a legend!

Do not,

This is legend!

More importantly, this is not a one-off deal.Robert Stephen has no doubt that from now on, Zhao Changqing will be able to make such a large sum of money every month.If this little blue pill can be sold to the United States, all over Europe, and even the whole world, Robert Stephen firmly believes that Zhao Changqing's monthly income must be multiplied by at least ten.

This is a very scary number.

Zhao Changqing was not surprised at all.He said lightly: "It seems that I can put the purchase of the manor on the agenda. Matthew, I will leave this matter to you."

Matthew said: "I have seen so many manors, which one do you like the most?"

"I prefer the grove in Rose Manor."

Matthew immediately said that he would finish it as soon as possible, and reminded Zhao Changqing that if he was satisfied with the decoration and layout of Qiangwei Manor, he could move in with his bags.

There is no way, everyone knows that the Bukett family owes a large amount of foreign debts and has to sell their ancestral manor.

What's more, the only heiress of the Bookett family is already engaged to a wealthy American businessman.She is about to go to the United States to get married and hold a wedding with her mother, and she will not come back.Moreover, accompanied by her mother, she has already moved to live with her fiancé. All the valuable things and the things that the lady cares about in Rose Manor have been emptied, leaving only some heavy antique furniture.

This is because none of the furniture will affect the price of the manor.

In this regard, Zhao Changqing did not have much opinion.In fact, it is not easy for Zhao Changqing to find a house that satisfies him completely.

Although the Bukett family owed a lot of foreign debts, the manor was well maintained.Even if all the paintings in the manor were taken away by Miss Bookett, Zhao Changqing didn't like those works of art that represented the glory of the Bookett family, even if they were paintings and sculptures by famous artists.

A furnished manor, just right.

"Is the study in the manor still empty?"

"Yes, after all, books are still quite valuable. So, Miss Bucket sent those books to the auction house."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "It looks like I'm going to let Horton go."

Horton is Zhao Changqing's housekeeper.In the past, Zhao Changqing didn't have a housekeeper, and he was completely unfamiliar with the UK, so it's okay for him to entrust certain things to Matthew.However, since Holden has already started to work, it is unreasonable to continue to bother Matthew.

Robert quickly said goodbye.When the first month's financial statement comes out, Zhao Changqing must be notified as soon as possible. This is Zhao Changqing's order. In fact, as a professional manager, Robert Stephen has a lot of things to do. Will not make a special trip this trip.

Zhao Changqing's second guest was naturally the tabloid reporter. He came for the Titanic, and Zhao Changqing handed over this person to Matthew to deal with.

One hopes to save his compatriots from tragedies, and the other hopes to get big news. When such two people meet together, they will cause a beautiful chemical reaction.

Zhao Changqing is very sure of this.

And his third visitor turned out to be England's hottest millionaire Jonathan!
