This goal only slightly changed the boring situation on the football field.
The score of one to zero lasted until the end of the game. Sheffield United defeated the defending champion Cardiff City and won this year's FA Cup championship.
While the Duke of York left the box and went to the center of the stadium to present the FA Cup to the new champion, Chen Muwu quickly followed the royal servants out of the stadium and waited in a car outside Wembley Stadium in advance.
Although things have basically been settled at today's football match, he will also attend a private party hosted by the Duke of York at his residence tonight.
While walking outside the stadium, I listened to the Duke of York's speech being transmitted to every corner of the stadium through the loudspeakers.
Chen Muwu finally understood why the Duke of York said that he was reluctant to participate in such an event.
This elder brother didn't speak fluently to begin with, so he became even more nervous when he spoke on a grand occasion with such a large audience.
His speech was an auditory torture for both the audience and himself.
Although the audience may overlook this small flaw in his words because of his royal aura, it should be considered a very heavy burden in the heart of the Duke of York.
Chen Muwu had neither the ability nor the obligation to help the prince get rid of this heartache. He treated the Duke of York as he did others, and that was his greatest tenderness.
The reason why I say this is because there are other people who have done exactly the opposite of Chen Muwu under similar circumstances.
The protagonist this time is Oppenheimer, his closest "closest" chief disciple.
If the factor Chen Muwu did not appear in this time and space, then after Oppenheimer was expelled from Cambridge University for poisoning Blackett, he would rely on his family connections to transfer to the University of Göttingen and continue his doctoral studies with Born.
Born had another doctoral student, Pascual Jordan, who was also a physicist with good mathematical skills. Together with his teacher Born and the German physics genius Heisenberg, he perfected and established The ultimate matrix mechanics.
Jordan had the same speech problems as the Duke of York, and his stuttering symptoms were probably more severe than the latter's.
Oppenheimer, who had just arrived, began to imitate Jordan's stuttering consciously or unconsciously after joining Born's disciples and getting acquainted with his senior brother Jordan.
No one can tolerate this kind of behavior from arrogant Americans.
But Jordan's response was not to invite Oppenheimer to a fencing duel, as was popular in German universities at the time.
He joined other young people in the same group and wrote a letter to his common mentor Born, asking him to deal with Oppenheimer.
Born knew that when Oppenheimer was at Cambridge University, he had poisoned another Blackett who had also been an exchange visitor at the University of Göttingen.
He also knew that Oppenheimer was able to escape the sanctions of British law because he found a psychiatrist and issued him a diagnosis certificate of clinical depression.
Born had a headache and felt that he was in a dilemma.
Don't punish Oppenheimer, Jordan won't be able to justify it.
And if Oppenheimer was punished, he would be poisoned himself.
Born could only pretend to inadvertently "left" the letter on Oppenheimer's desk, hoping that he would be able to restrain himself a little after seeing it.
When Oppenheimer finally obtained his doctorate and left the University of Göttingen, Born finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He complained in a letter to Ehrenfest, saying that this American student made him experience pain he had never experienced before. Fortunately, Göttingen, who had been paralyzed by Oppenheimer for a long time, was finally able to survive after his graduation. Back to normal.
Now think about it, that seemingly honest German Jordan, while studying knowledge, secretly published anti-Jewish articles in activist magazines under a pseudonym, and even eventually joined the mustache Nan Party , which may have a lot to do with his American Jewish classmate.
From this point of view, Chen Muwu's methods are really amazing.
After Oppenheimer met him, he was tamed to be obedient and loyal, and he never caused any trouble like he did in his previous life.
The Duke of York finally finished his speech. Under the escort of the police, he left Wembley Stadium and met Chen Muwu who had been waiting in the car.
The car finally started slowly and drove smoothly towards the outskirts of London.
It seems that the Duke of York's face is as normal as usual. He is probably in a happy mood today and the award ceremony went smoothly.
"It's good to watch a sports game occasionally. At least I can relax from the stress accumulated from work by yelling. And the moment I saw these athletes lifting the trophy, my heart surged."
Chen Muwu responded politely.
But I thought to myself, what kind of work pressure can you have? But my brother is really short of money!
I hope the Brennermond company you introduced can be generous and let me sell the patent at a good price.
Chen Muwu knew that although he was now famous and had a high academic status, it was simply wishful thinking to continue to collect money from Europeans and Americans with a popular patent.
He could hold on to the electron microscope patent, because the market was small and the profits were not very attractive.
But for product patents like organic glass that can be easily mass-produced and have a broad market in the future, even if they are not authorized, others can still produce them through various channels and methods.
As a patent holder, Chen Muwu would just break his teeth and swallow them in his stomach.
If we aggressively demand high royalties from these plutocrats, we may suddenly suffer acute copper coin alloy poisoning at some point and our imagination will be wide open.
It would be better to just sell the patent for plexiglass and make a quick profit through one transaction, as long as the school can be built.
The Duke of York continued: "Dr. Chen, counting the time, it seems that it is time for this year's Cambridge-Oxford Joint Games again. I really hope to see you swimming in the Thames River again!"
What the second prince said was getting more and more funny.
My friend, a dignified Olympic swimming champion, four gold medalists, and holder of several world records, wants to go to the Thames and bully a few weak students from Oxford University?
How shameless!
"Your Highness, it's better to say goodbye. It's really not suitable for me to participate in this sports meeting this year. Besides, I probably don't have much time. After the patent is sold and I get the money, I will start studying at the Royal Academy. Experimenting."
The Duke of York also realized that the question he raised was somewhat inappropriate: "Of course, work is more important. I hope you can invent more new and useful things like plexiglass. If you are short of money, I will I will give my full support personally.”
He spoke very sincerely, especially the last sentence, which made Chen Muwu feel as if he had met Tycho of Frederick II. It just so happened that the full name of the Duke of York was Albert Frederick Asia. Sir George, also had the name Frederick.
This may not be a historical coincidence.
After driving for a long time, the car finally arrived at its destination, Richmond Park, a suburb of London.
Richmond Park is the largest royal garden in London and the second largest walled city park in the UK. It is basically equivalent to the Old Summer Palace in Beijing.
This was originally the place where King George I of England hunted hundreds of years ago, and George I also built a temporary palace here for the convenience of hunting.
This palace has been restored by successive British royal families and is now known as the White House.
And this white house is the venue for the dinner to be held tonight.
When Chen Muwu first arrived in the UK, he happened to catch up with the Duke of York's wedding.
After getting married, the prince and his princess spent their honeymoon here and stayed there ever since, using the White House as a private residence.
It was said to be a private dinner, but in fact it was more like a social place like the time Doyle invited him to give a lecture at the Ghost Club.
Except for Chen Muwu who was trying hard to fill his stomach, everyone else was basically toasting each other.
Julian Huxley, whom he had met before, also came to Chen Muwu with a wine glass to say hello.
His Royal Highness the Duke of York first introduced to everyone present Chen Muwu, an alumnus of Trinity College of Cambridge University who was well-developed morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and physically, and then began to show off a new gadget he had just acquired this afternoon. Plexiglas invented by the genius Dr. Chen.
Everyone first took turns to praise the plexiglass, and then started to praise Chen Muwu again.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Dr. Chen is the most important guest of the Duke of York tonight.
Anyone who neglects him will be in trouble with His Highness the Duke.
…
The Duke of York kept his word, and a few days after the dinner, someone indeed found the Royal Institute.
When he introduced himself to the concierge, he said that he was an engineer from Brennamond Company and came to see Dr. Chen Muwu from David Faraday Laboratory.
"Dr. Chen, hello!"
After meeting, this bald middle-aged British man actually said a sentence in Chinese when greeting Chen Muwu, and it was also a non-standard Haihai dialect that made him feel more friendly.
Chen Muwu was surprised at first. Does he have such a great reputation now? He actually allowed others to learn a sentence of Chinese in order to meet him.
But he quickly realized that the reason why this person knew some pidgin and Baihai dialect was probably because he had lived and worked in the public concession in Baihai, right?
The bald man's next introduction quickly confirmed Chen Muwu's thoughts.
"Dr. Chen, my name is Bert. I am an engineer at Bnemen Company. I once worked at Bnemen Co., a British businessman in Sihai..."
Damn it, let me tell you why the name Brennamond Company always sounds so familiar to me!
Brunner (Brunner) Mond (Mond), if these names are read together, isn't it Brunner!
This is really not a case of enemies not getting together. Chen Muwu knows the Bu Nei Men company very well.
At least before he left Sihai, the British businessman Benemen Company had always monopolized the soda ash industry in China and even the entire East Asia.
So what if Ben and Britain were allies during World War I?
It's time to make your money.
During World War I, sea routes were not smooth and ocean transportation was even more difficult.
This Benemen company directly increased the price of soda ash by nearly ten times, and even established a price-free market. It piled soda ash in a warehouse and covered it up without selling it, causing the price of domestic soda ash to skyrocket at that time. One meal of soda ash can be worth an ounce (about thirty grams) of gold.
When Chen Muwu returned home from lecturing at Bei University, the Wynn Alkali Plant he saw in Tianlonggu was the counterattack attempt made by fellow Chinese Fan Xudong and Hou Debang in response to the monopoly of soda ash by Bu Nei Men Company.
Unexpectedly, the British chemical factory that the Duke of York introduced to him turned out to be Benemen. It would be unreasonable not to kill him severely.
Moreover, the British are quite useless. This company, now considered arrogant, is one of the four major chemical companies in the UK and one of the five major chemical companies in the world.
In the era before he traveled through time, the soda plant was still located in Northwich, Cheshire, England.
But the name "Bu Nemen" has long since faded away. At that time, the name of the factory was Tata Chemicals Europe.
That's right, it's the Tata Group that acquired two car companies, Land Rover and Jaguar, in India.
The third brother is really generous. Not only did he acquire cars, he also acquired the British steel and chemical industries.
Who dares to say that the great orthodoxy is not in the South Asian subcontinent?
But when it came to the Wynn Alkali Plant, Chen Muwu remembered that last year, through Haber's connections, he helped bridge the gap between Wynn and the BASF plant in Germany regarding the purchase of a synthetic ammonia plant.
I don’t know if the negotiations with Wynn went smoothly? How is soda ash production going?
The domestic developments that Zhu Zhaoxin from the embassy has been relaying to Chen Muwu are basically related to politics.
So Chen Muwu didn't know that the butterfly effect he brought, including spoiling Hou's alkali production method in advance and helping Wynn Soda Plant purchase a synthetic ammonia plant, had already allowed Wynn to produce better quality Red Triangle brand in advance. soda ash.
The reason why Burt, an engineer from Bai Hai Bu Nei Men Co., returned to the UK from Bai Hai was also related to the sudden rise of Red Triangle brand soda ash.
Red Triangle is not only popular in various textile factories in China, but also in neighboring countries with a higher degree of industrialization. It has also seized the market of Bu Nemen.
I am not a fool. Although Bu Nei Men is a well-established company with a good reputation, now that they have Red Triangle with higher quality and better price, they are not willing to waste money anymore!
Because Bert lost the East Asian market and was not doing well in his work, he was dismissed by the British headquarters from his errand in the sea, and returned to China to report on his work and wait for his retribution.
But before there was time to deal with him, news came from the Duke of York that Dr. Chen Muwu from Cambridge University is now at the Royal Institution in London. He has a good new invention and wants to discuss business with you.
In order to help Dr. Chen promote the business, the Duke of York even invited the senior executive of the Brunemen Company, Alfred Mond, the first Baron Melchett, to his home and showed him the sample of plexiglass that Chen Muwu gave to the Duke of York. .
As the second-generation head of Bonnemen Company, A. Mond certainly saw the business opportunities contained in this piece of plexiglass.
That's why he couldn't wait to send Bert to find Chen Muwu, hoping that they would take the patent of plexiglass to make up for the losses he caused to the company in the Far East.
