Chapter 440 Super German Fan Shao Quanzhong

Early in the morning, in Qiao Garden and Shan Xiang Cao Cottage, Shao Quanzhong went to kowtow to his parents and greet them.

Shao Quanzhong is definitely a traditional role model in this regard. As long as he is at home, he will visit his parents every morning and evening.

The old man and his wife got up much earlier than Shao Quanzhong. The old man was weaving bamboo strips. When the old lady saw Shao Quanzhong coming in, she put down her needlework and picked up a stack of photos.

"Alas, now, our Shao family has produced two emperors. Quanzhong, you are even more powerful than the emperor. Now we have many children and grandchildren. We old couple have nothing to complain about."

"That's right. It's been so many years since we last saw Ji Ming and Ji Si. Ji Liang, Ji Zeng, Ji Shuan and Ji Ying haven't met in Europe yet. They call her grandma over the phone. I want to go see her, but I can't take a long boat ride."

In fact, 10,000-ton cruise ships are very stable nowadays. If the old lady really wants to travel to Europe, there is no problem. The problem is that Europe is in the midst of war now, and the two old people cannot go.

The old lady wanted to see her grandson, so Shao Quanzhong had to solve the problem. "Maria, call them one by one and ask them to come back to Hailing to recognize their home."

"Shao, their studies..."

"Study, study, my airship is about to leave. Hehe, I'm in such a hurry because I want to send the airship to the European front. London is about to be bombed. It's not safe over there. Come back quickly!"

"Jiliang is the emperor in Osaka..."

Shao Quanzhong glared, "What's wrong with the emperor? The emperor is also my son. Besides, Li Hongzhang is the boss of the Qing court now. It's useless for a little brat like Jiliang to be here. Call him back!"

…………

Two months later, Qiao Garden became lively again.

The Queen of Spain brought Prince Alfonso of Asturias, also known as Shao Jishuan, back to recognize their family. The problem is that the Queen of Spain is still a concubine here and is not very popular.

The one who was most popular with the old men and women was Jiliang who had returned from Osaka. You see, he was the emperor, and he was very popular in the Qing Dynasty. When he arrived at Qiaoyuan, there were a lot of elders, and he would kowtow to everyone he saw.

Jiliang was very smart. He paid respects to every elder without missing a single one. He had a gift for every elder and was very sweet-mouthed, making the old men and women happy all day long.

However, the old lady's favorite was the eldest son, Jiming. Jiming was quite dissatisfied with being called back by his father in an emergency, "Dad, I just joined Blackburn Football Club and now I am the main striker..."

"What's so good about playing with a broken ball? Haven't you heard of the idiom 'a flaw in the ointment'? Big countries like China and the United States don't play football. Gao Qiu, who plays football, is a traitor."

Wenxiu, who was standing next to her, covered her mouth and laughed while listening to her husband's nonsense. Shao Quanzhong said that Europe was no longer safe, so she and Liuniang returned with the children.

Wenxiu came back and brought a check for 200 million taels of silver to Shao Quanzhong.

Wenxiu went to London not only because she was too embarrassed to see Shao Quanzhong after losing money in stock trading. She was actually a person who refused to admit defeat. At first, she didn't know how to lose money, so she vowed to find it back wherever she lost it, and went to London, the most prosperous stock exchange, to study stocks.

Wenxiu spent every day in the trading market, studying the rules of small investments. She was a talented female scholar, and she soon realized that stocks were not played the way they used to be.

Whether it is Xiao Jiang or Xiao Chen, when they play stocks in the United States, they all focus on chasing ups and downs and earning the difference. Is this right? It is right for retail investors.

But with the amount of capital Wenxiu has entering the market, she can become the main force. The main force's approach is completely different from that of retail investors. Whoever they want to increase the price will increase. In the hands of financial tycoons, the stock market is a cash machine.

If Wenxiu really focused on studying securities, she would quickly become a true expert and the mastermind behind the stock market.

Soon financial capitalists came to her and offered to share the market with her, giving her a piece of territory but asking her not to cross the line.

In recent years, Wenxiu has been making great strides in the financial market and has become one of the bigwigs in the London securities industry.

Shao Quanzhong expressed his satisfaction. I am the Eastern Lord of our society, one of the three giants in the world along with the Lords of Europe and America. How can I do without financial tycoons under my command?
The crappy overseas students are useless in this regard, and their wives have to take personal action to intimidate their colleagues.

The old lady gave each of her newly arrived grandchildren a blue cloth scarf that she had embroidered herself. Shao Quanzhong thought that Ji Ming and Ji Si, who came from London, would find it too rustic. But Ji Ming loved it very much.

"Grandma, your skill in embroidering blue cloth is amazing. In the London market, our Taizhou blue cloth embroidered scarves are very popular and sell for several pounds each."

The women living along the Lixiahe River are all clever and skilled in embroidery. As Hailing became famous around the world, Taizhou's blue cloth embroidery skills also became popular.

As the saying goes, what belongs to the nation belongs to the world. Of course, your nation must be strong so that the national spirit can spread all over the world.

As soon as Isabel came back, she immediately replaced Maria and became Shao Quanzhong's personal secretary.

It wasn't that Maria had a problem, it was that she had been a secretary for too long and it was time for her to take a break. Rong Hui and Wen Xiu, the two legitimate wives, could not be used as secretaries. Liu Niang ranked third and had been with Shao Quanzhong for a long time, so Shao Quanzhong basically treated her as his principal wife.

Only Isabel, Maria and Apple took turns serving as secretaries.

What? She is the Queen of Spain now? Well, Spain is now ruled by King Alfonso I of France, so it doesn't matter whether she is the Queen or not.

As for the queen being someone's secretary? Look where it is. In the Shao residence, a Spanish queen is really nothing.

The man who is bending and smiling at everyone over there is an emperor, the striker of Blackburn Football Club is Marshal Shao's designated successor, the serious thirteen-year-old child is the fiancé of the Hungarian Crown Prince, and the eight-year-old child is the fiancé of the British princess.

Look over there, the Bulgarian female speaker Sophie who came back with her, holding a three-year-old boy Shao Jijun. That is the Bulgarian crown prince, Prince Preslav...

The old lady didn't give the female speaker any face at all. "Quanxiao is the emperor after all, how can he have only one child? Are you jealous and don't want him to take a concubine? I don't care what your Bulgarian rules are. My son is Chinese, so he must follow Chinese rules."

Sophie was not angry at all, "I don't care about Quan Xiao, he is the one who doesn't want to find a lover."

It was bustling at home as Shao Quanzhong took the Queen's secretary to inspect the Haoguozi Company.

At the same time, two good news came from Haozizi Company: the flower mechanism was successfully replicated and the airship test flight was successful.

Looking up at the huge monster weighing more than 100 tons rising into the air, Isabel was shocked. In fact, everyone present was shocked.

This was not the first time the airship had been tested. It had been tested many times and only after it was confirmed that there were no problems did we invite Shao Quanzhong to inspect it.

There are three identical huge airships parked at the Good Fruit Test Site. They are from the same batch as the one in the sky and are called the "Zeppelin Class".

The airship flew higher and higher, far exceeding the height of the hot air balloon, reaching five thousand meters, and then, seemingly slowly, but actually very quickly, it flew back and landed.

"Okay! Lao Qi, your mission is complete. You can return home now."

"As a thank you for your help, I give you this airship. You can take it directly to Berlin."

"Can I take the technical information of the airship back with me?"

"You are the chief designer. You don't need to ask me. China-Germany friendship is a sure thing. At the same time, I will also give you 480 four-stroke internal combustion engines so that Germany can produce them in time."

Although the airship is large, it is actually easy to make. The technical difficulty lies in the internal combustion engine. The huge airship internal combustion engine is V16, and Shao Quanzhong took the power part of airships as the design fee.

"and this--"

Shao Quanzhong held a fancy machine gun in his hand, "I'll give you a complete set of drawings and 2,000 ready-made guns."

The European war was in full swing, and Zeppelin was eager to return home. He thanked Shao Quanzhong for his generosity. The Zeppelin, fully loaded with weapons, equipment and blueprints, took off and flew directly to Berlin.

"Ren Jun, the Huai Army has ordered 18 M submachine guns to completely replace shotguns."

After giving the order, Shao Quanzhong was about to leave when he heard, "Report! Boyerski from the Lucia Science and Trade Expedition wants to see you."

Um, this is the inspection team sent by Lucia to learn about the "Daxia experience". They have been here for a long time and have traveled around the Qing Dynasty. Hailing is the last stop. Shao Quanzhong has met with them before. Are they preparing to return home after the inspection?

When Boyerski saw Shao Quanzhong, he was very excited, "Your Highness, what is that flying in the sky? Can you tell me?"

Those who could be sent as envoys spoke Chinese very well. Shao Quanzhong did not need to call Maria back to serve as an interpreter. He went up and patted Boyerski on the shoulder and said, "Old Bao, we are family. You don't need to come. You also have a share of this thing."

"It's just right that you're here. You don't have to take a boat back home."

"See? This is the second Zeppelin-class airship. It is a tribute from me, the prince, to my father-in-law, His Majesty Alexander II. It is the Romanov. You can take the airship back home. It will reach St. Petersburg in half a month."

"The pilots of the airship also belong to the Lucia royal family. Tell my father-in-law to pay these pilots a high salary. I suggest that the airship be parked in Tsarskoye Selo. It may be of great use in an emergency."

An hour later, the Romanov took off and headed for St. Petersburg. It could reach the city in 14 days at a non-stop speed of 24 miles per hour.

With the advent of large-load airships, the sky was conquered by humans and the earth became smaller.
