Chapter 502: Feel the shock of Internet slang
Style is an Italian who has been doing business in the UK for many years, but his ancestors are from Bourges, France. He has always wanted to return to Bourges, and he is a standard spiritual Frenchman.
Bayi had been close friends with him for many years and knew that he had outstanding business abilities, so he suggested that he should hand over the competition for London Gas Street Lights to him.
Mayor Mordaunt raised his glass and smiled: "I will discuss your company's project contracting with Councilor Mordaunt as soon as possible."
"Thank you so much!"
At the end of the salon, Styler reported the day's events to his valet on the carriage. The latter immediately praised him: "You have done a great job, Mr. Styler. We are currently at the London City Hall." Ahead of all UK companies.
"Next, it's time to see your 'live demonstration'."
This valet is the overall person in charge of the "Gaslight Project"-Captain Deloni from the French Intelligence Agency.
Styler said confidently: "Please rest assured that I have made sufficient preparations. Your novel presentation method will definitely impress those congressmen."
Deloni smiled and waved his hand: "I don't know anything about display. That was invented by a big shot."
The big shot he was talking about was, of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Joseph knew that if he wanted to eat the entire London Gas Street Lighting Project, bribery alone would not be enough. After all, the plate was too big and he had to show overwhelming strength to silence everyone. So, he asked Lightning Company to arrange a business display that would have been impossible in the 18th century.
Three days later.
Baron Mordaunt, a member of the British House of Lords, led many members, as well as a large number of experts and scholars on the red carpet, and entered the gate of Lightning Coal Company under the diligent guidance of Taylor.
As soon as they entered the gate, Mordaunt and others were shocked. In front of them was a huge stone as tall as a person. The sides of the stone were chiselled and dignified Roman characters were engraved on it——
Lightning Coal Company’s corporate culture: Dream without boundaries, explore endlessly, and create miracles!
Driven by innovation, constantly break through ourselves, and use the spark of innovation to ignite the flames of technology...
Pursue excellence, pay attention to every detail, and create first-class products that exceed user expectations...
Work hard and forge ahead, not be afraid of difficulties, and become the best company with firm belief and hard work...
These clichés that no one would give a second glance to in the 21st century are absolutely lofty in the eyes of Mordaunt and others - no one in the 18th century had ever seen this - the soul-shaking slogans and advanced concepts directly They calmed down.
Later, Mordaunt motioned to the servants to put on shoe covers for the congressmen and others, and said apologetically: "Gentlemen, please forgive me, because the company has very precise instruments and must prevent the influence of dust, so shoe covers are necessary."
Everyone followed him into the company and saw that the place was spotlessly clean. The walls were covered with various documents and charts. More than 300 employees were busy shuttling back and forth. From time to time, someone shouted: "Efficiency! Stay efficient at all times!"
"David, the data I want must be submitted within 3 minutes!"
"The accuracy can be improved. I only want the best products!"
The visiting congressmen were stunned for a moment. Styler led them into a very spacious hall, and in the middle of the room stood a cylindrical "iron poke" that was as tall as two people, glowing with metallic luster, and connected to a large number of pipes and instruments.
Before Mordaunt could ask, Styler explained loudly: "Look, everyone, this is the latest coal distillation equipment developed by our company. Of course, this is just a prototype, and the actual production equipment will be larger than this." Much more.”
Styler winked at his assistant, who immediately led someone to put the coal into the "iron poke" and then lit a fire in the furnace below.
Soon, light yellow smoke poured out from the glass tube above the iron poke.
"Our machine is 20% more efficient than the one used by the French in Paris," Styler said, pointing to the tall wooden board aside, which was full of comparative data. "You see, from the furnace temperature, to the distillation speed, to the raw materials Consumption, our technology is all leading.
"The coal will undergo carbonization here, emitting a large amount of gas, which will pass through these pipes and enter up to 18 filtration and decomposition equipment. Oh, it's right here..."
He spoke with great passion, and piled up all kinds of professional terms for free. Not to mention Mordaunt and other congressmen, even the scholars who came here were confused, but they did not dare to express objections. After all, this is the most cutting-edge new technology, and it is normal for them not to understand it.
In fact, even if they ask, Styler has a way to deal with it, and that is to pile you more professional terms and more technical data until the other party shuts up.
Of course, this so-called "distillation equipment prototype" is just a model made of iron sheets, which is far from the real coal distillation technology that can be used.
However, it has been carefully polished by craftsmen, has an exquisite appearance, is full of technological sense, and can be set on fire for demonstration, so there is absolutely no problem in using it to bluff people. The actual cost was less than 1,000 francs.
Styler asked his assistants to send beautifully printed brochures to visitors: "Our company has invested 30,000 pounds to develop this technology. It can be clearly seen in this brochure that all performances are among the best in the world!
“Then, we are going to visit another cutting-edge technology of the company - the coal crusher. "
After visiting the coal crusher model, there was the gas scrubber model, and then the separator model...
While the congressmen were holding a thick stack of promotional brochures in their hands and only marveling at the cutting-edge technology, Styler talked about the company's "analysis design-test integration-iteration" spiral development method.
This set of things is purely conceptual, empty to empty, ensuring that every sentence makes people feel very reasonable, but after listening to it, nothing will be left in the mind.
After all, this is the standard R&D model for future generations, and it definitely makes sense, but Joseph only needs to remove a few of the most critical nodes for you, and it will immediately become a holy book.
Finally, Styler erected a colorful display board in the conference hall, passionately describing the company's future prospects for the gas street lighting project and its "sustainable" development plan.
A few hours later, a group of British parliamentarians and experts walked out of Lightning Coal Company in high spirits. Their minds were filled with exquisite pictures and various novel terms. They felt that this company had the most advanced technology and the most advanced products in Europe. Excellent company.
Mordaunt had already determined that if the Lightning Coal Company was allowed to undertake the gas lighting project in London, it would be able to create a more refined and brilliant city image than Paris.
And he who leads this project will also gain huge political benefits. He has already thought of the slogan - the father of London street lights.
It will not even be impossible for him to become prime minister by then.
