The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 489 The Craftsmanship of the Far East Butcher

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly narrowed his eyes.

No matter how polite the old guy was, he couldn't change Zhao Chuanxin's impression of him.

Just like during the financial crisis, the old guy seemed to be rescuing the market and was praised by the world, but the process was full of selfish behaviors.

At first, he watched from afar, waiting for others to come to him for help, and then established his own position to profit from it.

He is as silent as gold and has good intentions. It is hard to say that he does not have a place among the famous and decent people who besieged Guangmingding.

Zhao Chuanxin made a quick calculation in his mind and simply said: Nicholas is my biological brother. After giving back the thirty thousand US dollars to you, Wardenclyffe Tower should belong to me.

This arrogant attitude and rogue face fit perfectly with his character, Zhao Chuanxin.

J.P. Morgan was still not angry: Although the tower and the experimental equipment in it cost far more than 30,000 US dollars. But if Mr. Zhao wants it, what if I give it to Mr. Zhao as a gift?

Historically, Nikola Tesla was not only fined $23,500 by the court, but the Wardenclyffe Tower was also demolished, and all experimental equipment was confiscated by the court and used as collateral.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately responded: You are so generous. For this, I thank you on behalf of my half-brother.

After saying that, he happily collected the money on the table.

J.P. Morgan: ...

Zhao Chuanxin struck while the iron was hot: Then, I will find someone to sign a contract with Mr. Morgan as soon as possible to prevent the court from coming to confiscate the experimental equipment.

J.P. Morgan had never seen such a brazen person.

But at the same time, he was more vigilant.

This person must not be offended, he must be coaxed.

If it's 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, it's not a big deal if it's lost.

There is no business without losing money.

It's just a drop in the bucket to him.

When he originally invested in Wardenclyffe Tower, he was not optimistic about Nikola Tesla, but simply thought that radio would make money in the future and have great potential.

But after Marconi took the lead, the investment became meaningless.

He didn't believe that Zhao Chuanxin was talking too much and thought that Zhao Chuanxin must have found other profitable key points.

Could it be that there are other possibilities in the radio field?

J.P. Morgan suddenly said: Mr. Zhao, if you are short of money, I can invest in shares. In fact, we can become partners, not enemies.

Zhao Chuanxin did not expect him to say this, and was stunned for a moment: My brother has a weird temper, let's forget about it. However, cooperation in other aspects is not a bad idea. Although I return to China, the business will continue.

The words were not blocked.

Because all the money from Zhao Chuanxian has been arranged.

Including the funds recently squeezed from Kang Youwei, all of them were used to invest in the research and development of Nikola Tesla.

He only had a few tens of thousands of dollars left in cash.

This also includes the $30,000 brought.

Just as he was about to leave after talking nonsense, Zhao Chuanxin saw a little boy running into the study from outside, holding an origami swift in his hand and imitating the sound of flapping wings.

Zhao Chuanxin waved to him: Young man, come here.

The little boy was stunned for a moment, looked at Old Morgan, and when he saw Old Morgan nodded, he timidly walked towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Hello, sir, my name is Henry Sturgess Morgan.

Old Morgan explained: This is my grandson.

Zhao Chuanxin had vaguely heard of this name. He later founded Morgan Stanley, and at the same time the Morgan consortium was divided into three. Several big bosses in the United States have received support from the Morgan family, including Ronaldo. This is also the reason why the Morgan family is able to thrive in the United States.

He said: Did you break this Swift?

Yes, sir. The little guy said proudly.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of Lugang Town candy ball and stuffed it into Henry Sturges Morgan's mouth.

Old Morgan was a little worried, but he still didn't say anything to stop it.

Henry Sturgis Morgan, after tasting the candy balls, suddenly smiled.

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: Besides folding swiftlets, what else can you fold?

Henry Sturgess Morgan said proudly: Sir, I can also fold a quill.

Zhao Chuanxin lit the cigar brought by the butler and took a sip of tea: Really? The so-called threesome must have my teacher, so you can teach me. I really want to learn how to fold quills.

Henry Sturgess Morgan was excited.

Other adults didn't play with children, but the man in front of me actually asked him to teach him how to fold paper. He was really a nice gentleman.

He excitedly went to the bookshelf to pull out a book and tore off a page.

Old Morgan's cheeks twitched as he watched.

If Zhao Chuanxin hadn't been here, he would have definitely taught this kid a lesson.

He quickly handled the rough edges of the paper, cut it, and repeatedly folded it in half.

After a while, a crooked quill took shape.

Henry Sturgess Morgan handed the quill to Zhao Chuanxin: Sir, look.

The little face is full of please praise me expression.

After all, they were married only a generation apart. Old Morgan's old face showed a rare smile: The little guys are very smart. Our Morgan family depends on them to prosper.

So noisy?

Then Zhao Chuanxin must give him a beating.

He also laughed: Yes, eating a candy ball will make you happy for a long time, and you can play origami by yourself without crying or making trouble.

This child is easy to support and is born to be an orphan!

Old Morgan's smile froze and gradually turned dark.

After a while, he said calmly: Mr. Zhao, I said that the Morgan family will never be your enemy again. We are friends now, aren't we?

Anyway, Zhao Chuanxin is leaving New York and the United States.

In fact, if you were looking for someone to cooperate with, although old Morgan was a shady old man, Zhao Chuanxin chose to cooperate with him instead of Rockefeller.

But he ignored Old Morgan and patted Henry Sturges Morgan on the head: Very good, this quill is very useful to me, and for this I want to reward you with a treasure.

The little guy's eyes lit up: What is it, sir?

Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of Green Beauty turquoise produced in the United States.

This kind of green beauty is as big as a child's fist, has pure color, fine texture, strong luster, without a trace of iron wire, and most importantly, without any optimization, is also very rare.

The production of turquoise in the United States was large and the price was low at this time. Zhao Chuanxuan asked Freddy Pavitt to purchase a lot as inventory.

He took out the elf carving knife and winked at Henry Sturges Morgan: Young man, it's time to show your true skills.

As he spoke, the carving knife flew up and down, and turquoise chips fell on the worsted wool carpet.

In a moment, the rough shape of the turquoise stone in Zhao Chuanxin's hand was carved out.

J.P. Morgan was shocked.

I didn't expect that Zhao Chuanxin had such a skill.

This is not something a cold-blooded reckless man can do.

And Henry Sturgis Morgan's sharp eyes were staring straight at the turquoise and the elf carving knife.

Jiang Bo's face was full of surprise.

Zhao Chuanxin polished the details, and everyone immediately saw that this was a mermaid.

The reason why Zhao Chuanxin's carving is so fast lies in the modification of details. For example, it may take others a long time to figure out the details of hair, but under the elf's knife, all the details can be completed in just an instant.

His hands and his knife were incredibly fast.

Before they could react, Zhao Chuanxin sheathed his sword.

He raised the little mermaid, puffed up his cheeks and blew hard: Huh...

Then he handed it to Henry Sturges Morgan: This is my return gift.

Henry Sturgess Morgan was overjoyed and took the turquoise mermaid excitedly and couldn't put it down: Thank you, sir.

Old Morgan was speechless.

It had only been less than half an hour, and Sun Tzu seemed closer to Zhao Chuanxin than to him.

Is this person not a professional kidnapper?

But the carving of the handle is so lifelike, as if the mermaid is coming to life.

This is in line with American aesthetics. It is more realistic and vivid, especially the hair. It is so ingenious that so many hair strands can be carved on the stone.

After all, it saved 30,000 U.S. dollars, and Zhao Chuanxin also expressed the amount.

Benefit without any cost.

But none of the four people in the study expected that in later generations someone would pay a high price of millions of dollars for this turquoise handle, but Henry Sturgess Morgan did not sell it until his death.

After carving, Zhao Chuanxin stood up: Well, that's it for today. I'm about to return to China. Goodbye, Mr. Morgan.

Henry Sturgess Morgan said reluctantly: Sir, why don't you stay in the mansion for one night? My grandfather will stay overnight when other friends come.

Zhao Chuanxin patted his head: Next time, you will probably have grown into a real man by then.

Sir, when I grow up, I will come and play with you.

That's OK, it's a deal.

Old Morgan seems to have discovered a new world.

The conversation between Zhao Chuanxin and the child revealed a rare pure side.

It was obvious that he was not being polite, but he really liked children.

Moreover, Zhao Chuanxin didn't seem to know what politeness was.

Old Morgan asked his coachman to set up the car and sent Zhao Chuanxin and the two away in his own car.

Mr. Zhao, I wish you a safe journey.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded and left.

After the carriage disappeared from sight, old Morgan stretched out his hand to his reluctant grandson: Let me see the Little Mermaid.

Turquoise is warm and moist, but its density is far less than that of gemstones and jade. It has a unique feel when held in the hand.

Old Morgan shook his head: This person is really unpredictable.

Grandpa, who are you talking about?

That person just now, his name is Zhao Chuanxin. Remember, you can't offend him in the future.

I want to play with him when I grow up. He's really awesome.

Be obedient, don't offend, and don't get too close. This kind of person is too dangerous.

On the carriage.

Jiang Bo asked: Who are you? Why does old Morgan respect you so much?

Because it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and for a villain to take revenge from morning to night. Obviously, I am a gentleman.

Are you telling me the opposite? Jiang Bo asked, You will be my sponsor from now on, so you must tell me your name, right?

Haha, my name is Zhao Chuanxin.

Oh, never heard of it.

From this incident, it can be seen that this guy doesn't read newspapers, and he is so mean-mouthed that no one else wants to talk to him or gossip about him.

Jiang Bo watched the scenery passing by outside the car window and asked curiously: What now? Where are we going?
