The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

When her father died when she was ten years old, she succeeded to the throne as queen, but her mother was regent until her eighteenth birthday in 1898.

Three years later she married Duke Hendrick.

But Hendrick didn't like the identity of the royal husband and felt that marrying the queen would make him lose face.

For example, when walking, you should walk behind the queen, like a follower.

Is this okay if my husband is weak?

I, Hendrick, will never give in!

Hendrick directly made love outside, had several mistresses at the same time, and gave birth to multiple illegitimate children.

To put it simply, Wilhelmina's life has been smooth in general, but full of ups and downs in details.

This creates her innocent appearance but strong character on the inside.

In the face of Edith Roosevelt, a soft-spoken old man,

Wilhelmina said: "Madam, do you think it would be appropriate for me to visit New York?"

"Your Majesty." Edith Roosevelt paused, turned around, and frowned: "Does Your Majesty want to lead a long guard and parade through New York City like in the Netherlands?"

She uses words cleverly, which sounds normal, but if you look carefully, you can hear the strong irony.

Wilhelmina was at a loss after being repeatedly contradicted by her: "Madam, I didn't mean that. I was wondering if I could go play in private?"

Although Edith Roosevelt did not like Wilhelmina's slow and seemingly stupid temperament.

But I am still very satisfied that I have overwhelmed the queen in terms of momentum.

"Even in private, your guards will be nervous on the bustling streets of New York City. If you want to have fun and experience the scenery of New York, I have a suggestion."

Wilhelmina's eyes lit up: "Madam, please speak."

After all, she is still young, only 27 years old this year, and she is full of yearning for beautiful things.

"Can you ride a horse?" Edith Roosevelt looked at the Queen slightly provocatively.

This is her strength!

"Uh, yes, I will. I have received professional riding training from the royal family."

Edith Roosevelt smiled meaningfully...

…

The shoreline of Putnam Lake is 6 kilometers long.

The hills are low and gentle, lined with green trees, and the grassland in the southeast corner is vast, extending to the northeast corner.

The lake is quiet and clear, and you can see groups of bluefin flounder swimming around.

There is an egret by the lake, walking gracefully with its long legs.

Even if a group of people came on horseback, it did not fly high and was very calm.

Mi Shan took Zhao Chuanxin to a gentle slope and felt the cool temperature of the lake. Facing the beautiful scenery, even it seemed to be relaxed and happy.

Zhao Chuanxin asked William Hope: "Xiao Wei, do you think it is possible to graze here?"

William Hope took a deep breath of fresh air: "Boss, it's very good here! But the pasture is surrounded by forests. This is different from the environment in the Midwest. The forests can hide large beasts. I think the priest's woman said that It’s all the truth.”

Zhao Chuanxin nodded.

But in terms of scenery and environment, this place is by no means inferior to his Ethan Manor.

Just more inaccessible and desolate.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the mouth of the lake again. It fully met the requirements for hydropower generation.

How could you miss this Feng Shui treasure?

"That's it. You take Ning An to the town and buy the lake and this land. By the way, send someone to deliver a letter to Freddy and ask him to move the factory."

William Hope heard that Zhao Chuanxin asked him to handle such a big thing, but even before he went there, his hands and feet were already weak from nervousness.

"Boss, I..."

"Don't call me boss, I'm your employee now, Ethan Zhao."

William Hope had no choice but to turn his head and look at Ning An.

Ning An was much younger than him, and his face was extremely tender.

However, Ning An was much calmer than him.

It’s a joke, follow sir, what big scene haven’t you seen?

This is all a small matter.

Ning An calmly nodded to William Hope.

William Hope miraculously gained some confidence.

This made him a little stunned. Why did he lose to a young man in terms of momentum?

Zhao Chuanxin said to Ning'an in Chinese: "Look at him. If he dares to join forces with the local government to take me for granted, I will let him cut his flesh to feed the wolves."

Ning An understood: Look, compared to other local government offices, Mr. is the most cruel one.

What's there to be afraid of?

After making an appointment to gather here, Zhao Chuanxin took Benjamin Goldberg and Marcus Nkrumah to wander around and inspect.

The destructive power of cattle, horses and sheep to forests and pastures is as follows.

Cow＜Horse＜Sheep＜Goat.

Cows eat grass and only the floating skin.

If a horse eats grass, it is deeper than a cow.

As for the goats, those things are really evil. They don't even spare the bark of the damn trees. They eat grass and uproot it. No grass will grow when they pass by. The destructive power to the vegetation is huge.

However, when it comes to drilling and mining, local people and government offices would rather attract herdsmen than let capitalists in.

Capitalists are like goats, equally destructive.

Therefore, when William Hope proposed to purchase the land, the mayor happily agreed. It was easier than expected, and the price was so low that William Hope could not believe it.

When walking out of the Yamen, Ning An frowned and said, "I think there is something wrong here."

Having experienced so many things with my husband, he knows that there is no free lunch in the world.

William Hope nodded: "There should be large beasts coming out, so others are afraid to come."

"Not only that, I saw that after the agreement was reached, the mayor's eyes flashed with joy, as if he had thrown out a hot potato."

William Hope lost his confidence: "I didn't mess things up for my boss, did I?"

Ning An glanced at him, thought for a while, and decided to reveal the truth: "Actually, the factory is the main thing. It doesn't matter what problems there are in the pasture."

"Huh?" William Hope opened his mouth wide, feeling that he had been deceived.

Ning'an learned some of Zhao Chuanxin's rhythmic skills, and gave William Hope a shot in the arm: "Of course, grazing is also necessary. After all, two hundred cows is not a small amount, and it is impossible for Mr. to let this money go." All in vain.”

William Hope had the exact opposite point of view than Ning An. He didn't understand factories or anything like that. He just did it as a last resort when he was pushed to the stage. What he cared about most was the cattle.

"Then what should we do next?"

"Next, you and I are going to contact the cattle buyer."

As soon as the two of them left town, Zhao Chuanxin arrived.

The reason is that Benjamin Goldberg's clothes were already a little too small. He has grown dramatically during this period, and now his clothes seem to have shrunk and are extremely ill-fitting.

As a master, you must let your disciples support your appearance.

He saw a store in the town with the sign "J.C. Penney" on it, and was stunned.

"Let's go to this house."

This is a small and powerful company that has entered the 21st century!

The store seems to have just opened.

A well-dressed man in his thirties was instructing employees to arrange the shelves.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin and the other two people coming in, the man frowned but said nothing.

The clerk came and guided Zhao Chuanxin: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"Give these two children a set of clothes and shoes for each of them."

Benjamin Goldberg was naturally a child, but the clerk looked at Marcus Nkrumah, who was nearly 2 meters tall.

You call this a child?

"Benjamin, Marcus, you go with him and choose whichever set of clothes you like."

When they entered, Zhao Chuanxin happily took out the blueprint of a semi-automatic rifle.

When Benjamin Goldberg came up with the drawings, Zhao Chuanxin noticed at a glance that his clothes were old and didn't fit him.

As a master, I love my disciples so much.

The only drawback is that this semi-automatic rifle cannot be produced yet, and he can't even rub it with his hands.

Because there is no suitable alloy material.

For direct immersion gas drive systems, the piston must be made of high-strength and lightweight aluminum alloy or titanium alloy.

Even if it is now forced to be replaced with other materials, the service life is very impressive. If the weight is not up to standard, various malfunctions will occur, which is a fatal flaw on the battlefield.

This is the first time that Zhao Chuanxin has felt the limitations of the times where materials restrict development.

Putting away the drawings, Zhao Chuanxin looked at the shop.

He came to the middle-aged man and asked, "Hello, do you know who the owner of this shop is?"

The middle-aged man looked Zhao Chuanxin up and down: "John Peterman. I am the owner of this store. I have to remind you that J.C. Penney only accepts cash advances and does not accept credit consumption. You can't go to the boss or manager. "

The tone was anything but friendly.

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Isn’t this the American version of “small profit, no credit”?

"Look at what you said, as if I can't pay." Zhao Chuanxin looked disdainful. "Isn't it okay to owe half the money?"

John Peterman: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin stopped teasing him and laughed: "I actually want to ask, does your store need investment?"

Capitalists just like to play with financing.

And after Zhao Chuanxin made money, he also needed to build a "Jin Kun". Times have changed, and it is difficult to withdraw money from the bank. He also needs to have a serious business.

Clinker, John Peterman turned his face when he heard this: "No need, we have sufficient funds!"

This old boy is also a legend.

Five years ago, when he was only 27 years old, he founded his first store from scratch.

Now only 32 years old, he is already the owner of a chain store spanning several states.

J.C. Penney stores never accept credit purchases, they must be made in cash.

His persistence was ridiculed by capitalists in various industries.

However, when the economic crisis came, these people could no longer laugh.

John Peterman gritted his teeth and persevered, while others could only face bankruptcy and reorganization and become a bigger fish mouth.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't expect to meet the founder of a century-old store here and now.

"Think about it."

He persisted.

J.C. Penney is definitely going to be big.

"I don't need your dirty money, get out."

I, Cao... Zhao Chuanxin took a deep breath and suppressed the anger.

He had important things to do when he came to Kurdex this time, so he needed to keep a low profile.

I endured it.

He sneered and said, "Little J, don't be so arrogant. Maybe within a few months, you will come and beg me for capital injection."

"dream!"

"We'll see."

"Get out of here!"

"Fake Squid, I am a customer, I am standing here, how do you treat me?"

Damn it, don’t you never accept credit purchases?

Then I will give you a zero-yuan purchase today!

Not only did he not leave, he started wandering among the shelves.

It sells clothes, shoes, home furnishings, glasses and even diamond jewelry and other miscellaneous things.

Where Zhao Chuanxin walked, the density of goods became imperceptibly smaller with the naked eye.
