"Hello General Zhang, I just returned from Europe. The blood flowed over there. I really couldn't stay there. I didn't know when the fight would be, so I had to return to China. First, to avoid the war, and second, to want to return to China to start a business. Now the government says that the country is prosperous with industry." The psychological quality of cadres trained by the Party is really not covered. In an instant, Li Changgeng accepted the facts and even made up his mind to fool the boss of the Republic of China in front of him.

"Oh, we have heard about this in Beijing that the British minister came to lobby for the president to join the Allies. Last year, Japan fought with the Germans in Shandong, telling us why the Russians started to do it and how they all became." Zhang Zuolin asked anxiously and curiously.

When the fish is caught, we just think that this is a time to attract investment. It is still a familiar old routine. First, we catch the other party's curiosity, and after displaying our ability, I opened a blank check, and then gave it a gift. Li Changgeng replied with a smile: "General Zhang really asked the right person. I have done some research on the European pattern and the cause of this battle. It can be finished in just a few words. If the general is not idle and trouble, why not wait until my tent is set up and let's sit down and chat."

While speaking, Li Changgeng took off the tent from the roof of the car, chose a piece of cool flat ground, and inserted the power supply of the air pump into the car. In less than five minutes, an inflatable tent of nearly 30 square meters was unfolded.

Zhang Zuolin looked at the tent in front of him in surprise and kept praising the fun.

"Haha, General Zhang praised it. This thing was made by someone when I was in Europe. It uses a magical new material. If the general looks at it, I will give it to you."

"Hahaha, Brother Li is so generous. As soon as we met, you gave such a good gift. Old Zhang felt guilty. If Brother Li has any trouble in the future, Old Zhang will definitely do his best. Don't call us by the general, listen to the remnant. How old are we crazy and call us Brother Qi, it sounds comfortable." Zhang Zuolin is also very human and has a very good vision.

Li Changgeng took out two cans of iced coffee from the car and led Zhang Zuolin into the tent. Lao Zhang was even more surprised. He saw the sofa and coffee table in the tent, a large bed, and a small bathroom. After the two sat on the inflatable sofa, Li Changgeng handed over a can of iced coffee and demonstrated how to open it and took a sip.

Zhang Zuolin also learned to take a sip and scolded, "Damn it, you guys have some tricks. It's a bit bitter to drink this cold thing in hot weather. Old Zhang has to look up to you."

"Brother Qi, I'm not surprised to devote myself to the military. In 1822, Faraday, a famous British physicist, discovered that Th carbon oxide, ammonia, chlorine and other gases will turn into liquids under pressure, and when the pressure drops, it will turn into gases. In the process of turning from liquid to gas, it will absorb a large amount of heat, causing the surrounding temperature to drop rapidly. German chemist and engineer Carl Von Linde invented a freezer with ammonia as the refrigerant. It was manufactured in 1879.

The world's first home refrigerator was released. This steam-powered refrigerator was soon put into production. By 1891, 12,000 units had been sold in Germany and the United States. This refrigerator was installed in a car and was powered by diesel engines. Currently, there was only one in the world. But I spent a lot of money to ask someone to develop it." Li Changgeng told the story as if he had learned about it. This was his homework when he was recruiting a freezer manufacturer in the development zone.

His words really made Lao Zhang confused. "Brother Li, you are so talented that you can eat cold things in summer with this thing? Oh, if you have this thing, you won't have to go into the ice cellar to get big ice lumps in summer? Hahaha, it's really fun!"

"Well, my this one is small, and can only be used in cars, and the refrigeration effect is not high. Of course, there are also industrial use. If you use it simply, you can directly make frozen food, or use it as a cold storage for long-term food storage, or industrial use such as printing, dyeing, precision processing, etc.." Li Changgeng continued to silence slowly.

"Oh, these things are all scientific. I, Lao Zhang, like to chat with people who understand science, and I have benefited a lot! I have to call you a sir."

"Don't, you said everything. I'll tell you that the general is so angry. If you want to call me sir, we can't bear it!"

"Brother Li speaks happily. I guess you are not a scholar, because you are not like those sour people who pretend to be noble."

"Haha, Brother Qi said this interestingly, it suits my heart. You can also see that I am not a scholar. Let's talk to you in a deep way. When our ancestors were still in the Qing Dynasty, we saw that our heavenly kingdom was bullied by foreigners all day long, so we wanted to go abroad to see where foreigners were advanced. After going abroad, we spent all our family money to open a factory in France. Last year, the factory was bombed by the Germans, and my whole family ran out. Europe couldn't stay there. When the war was fought, the country's revolution was successful. Yuan Shikai became the president and wanted to go back to China to see if he could make a living."

"Brothers, I'm sorry. By the way, you haven't told me why Europeans have started doing it." Zhang Zuolin asked.

"The seventh brother is not idle, I will speak out. This battle broke out after a long time. First of all, the political and economic development of the great power countries was unbalanced. Since the military powers and other capitalist countries were greatly enhanced after the Second Industrial Revolution, their economic and national strength was greatly enhanced, surpassing the old capitalist countries in one fell swoop. The original "balance of power" was destroyed. Therefore, Germany and its allies demanded to re-dividate the world, which affected the interests of the old capitalist countries and led to the formation and intensification of contradictions between imperialist countries. Both sides wooed other countries and engaged in arms races. In the end, they couldn't bear it anymore and had to start a fight.

The countries participating in the alliance were mainly Germany, Austro-Hungarian Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria. The main countries participating in the Allied countries were the Allied countries of the Three Kingdoms Agreement. Italy was originally an Allied country, but in May this year, they betrayed the Allied countries. Another one is Russia. Russia was originally a member of the Three Sovereign Alliance during the Bismarck period, but the conflict between the Russians and the Austro-Hungarian Empire on the Balkans could not be reconciled, so Germany had to choose the Austro-Hungarian Empire as an ally. Britain and France seized the opportunity, gave up some colonial interests, and attracted Russia to join the Three Kingdoms Agreement.

Both sides in the war were basically in a uniform force and were ready to lie down, but it was not easy at all. They had to use their strength to add fuel to the battlefield little by little. The German and Austrian alliance army had 6.23 million, and the Allied state-owned army was 8.73 million."

"Oh, there are so many people, it's interesting to fight!" Zhang Zuolin exclaimed.

"Brother Seven, I decided to return to China to gain a fortune by taking advantage of the business opportunities in this big battle." Li Changgeng confidently used the great method of attracting investment and fooling people, and said mysteriously.

"There are business opportunities here? Then you shouldn't go back to China?" Zhang Zuolin got into the trap.

"Brother Qi, we don't say secret words. I believe that you are in the Northeast and are also a person who keeps your word. We have to talk to you. I will talk to you about this business. If you think it's OK, we will work together. If you don't, you will be happy and you won't be afraid of you making jokes." The trick to negotiate is to give the other party a sweet date directly. The more direct and explicit the more attractive it is.

"Listen attentively, Brother Li, please tell me." Zhang Zuolin, the hero, was indeed attracted.

"Brother Seventh, this cannon is ten thousand taels of gold when the two camps fight to the death. The shells fired every day are counted in ten thousand rounds. The foundations they have been in stock have been almost used. I am an example. We can't build shells now, but such a big war consumes more than shells. For example, it's almost winter, and we can do cotton, hair, leather, and various clothing and hats. It doesn't require any technology and the cost is not high. The army of tens of millions of people on both sides wants this thing. European men are on the battlefield, and women are producing guns and cannons, and this thing cannot be produced by manpower. This is called a labor-intensive industry. What we need is manpower. Do we lack it?" Li Changgeng asked with narrow eyes.

"Hey, there is no shortage. Isn't it just a person who makes clothes? That woman can't make clothes. If you don't say anything else, Fengtian City can get a handful of people. You have to choose the best ones." Zhang Zuolin said with sharp eyes.

"Brother Seven, this is just about wearing the same clothes and eating. The general is not short of hungry soldiers in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, that's the hard truth?"

"Of course, this soldier can't take him if he's hungry for a few meals."

"So, this food makes even more money. Of course, buying flour in Europe is not a waste of money, and closing the pieces does not have much added value. What we want to provide is fast food such as canned food, milk powder, etc."

"I've eaten both of these things. Is this thing profitable?" Zhang Zuolin asked in confusion.

Li Changgeng was stunned for a moment, then reported it back and forth: "How come he doesn't make money? Of course, the profit here depends on how deep your bottom line is."

After hearing this, Zhang Zuolin seemed to remember something. After a long time of recovery, he stared at the tired and fat Li Changgeng in front of him, who was so tired and white and fat, and then cursed: "It's a fucking slut. If you want to talk more about scholars, you really know how to use words. Lao Zhang has been familiar with me for three months. If you just say that you are so shady, you will be able to do it. This business has been done, and you will tell me how to make the bottom line of conscience."

"I really want to hear it?" Li Changgeng was not sure about Zhang Xiaoxiong's ability to accept it.

"Okay okay, I'll pick some nice things, Brother Qi, how many kilograms of pork can be bought with one piece of ocean?" Li Changgeng asked casually, without knowing the purchasing power of ocean now.

"Eight jin."

"How many kilograms of pigs can I buy to get into water? In addition to the good heart and liver."

"That's too much, twenty pounds are not a problem."

"At least twice the difference, is there any."

"How many kilograms of potato flour per piece?"

"Fuck it, you'll have a hundred pounds."

"Let's make canned pork as an example. Put one cent of pork, two cents of water, and seven cents of potato flour."

"Is it OK?" Zhang Zuolin was not sure.

"Then it should be OK to put one cent pig into the water and nine cent potato flour?"

"Is it OK?" The current Lt. Zhang was rustling.

"That's okay to add some lard, dead pork, rat meat, and other messy meats with some potato flour, right?"

"Ah! Eating this won't kill anyone." The future Shuai Zhang asked with a trembling mouth.

"European wars are dying every minute. Can you be sure that eating canned food is dead? Don't worry, the Chinese chef's skill in seasoning can't be surpassed in eight hundred years. Maybe after eating it, they will still praise it."
