Cosma Empire

Du Lin rested for less than four hours before being woken up. The housekeeper here told him that many people hoped to visit Mr. Du Lin, Ophelia and their common son as soon as possible.

It wasn't a slip of the tongue that the butler used the word "meeting" and added Toy.

In most people's minds, there are only three people who can represent a family, and the first one is the founder.

The founder has gained merit through his own efforts or gained the opportunity to move to a higher level through flattery and flattery. No matter what people think of him when they are alive, he can represent the family in the days to come, no matter the family Is it strong or declining.

The second person is the contemporary head of the family, such as Magus of the Timamont family, and Kubal and so on. They can represent a family not because they have a great reputation and have very terrible meritorious deeds.

In fact, Magus now includes the achievements of other people. After their death, at most they will leave an evaluation of "great people" in history. People will soon forget them. After his death He can't represent the Timamont family.

What allows him to represent the Timamont family is not his merits and achievements, but his family's identity.

The third is the first in line heir.

The first heir of a family can often express his position on behalf of the family behind him after he becomes an adult. His statement and promise are like the statement and promise of the head of the family to nobles and big families.

Even if it was a wrong statement or a wrong promise, the family behind him would admit it and pay the price.

Because the first successor is destined to become the head of the next generation without the occurrence of scandals like some heirs fighting each other.

His promise is only a slight advance of his power decades later, but only a part.

These three kinds of people can represent a family. If Du Lin represents a rising family from the Southwest, the Kesma family, then Toy represents a new force after the merger of an emerging force and an old force. Hegemonic family.

To some extent, in the noble social system, the value and importance of Toixma, as well as the power he will have access to in the future, have surpassed Dulin, although this child was born less than 24 hours .

So people use serious words such as "see you" very seriously. It's not that they use the wrong words, it's just a rule.

Du Lin rubbed his eyes and turned over and sat up from the hospital bed. It has to be said that sometimes sleeping in a different bed is a very rare experience.

The hospital bed was not soft, but rather hard, but sleeping on it had an indescribable sense of security, so that Du Lin fell asleep before he had time to think about something while lying on it.

He is very energetic now. He patted his cheeks and walked into the bathroom. After a brief grooming, he came out quickly. He changed his clothes and walked outside while instructing the housekeeper to send those greeting cards Tidy up, and he'll receive the most important of them all in the evening.

"Sir, there are Orientals..."

Du Lin's footsteps stopped, and he glanced at the butler in surprise, "Oriental?"

The butler stopped at a position slightly behind Du Lin's side, highlighting Du Lin's dominant position between the two sides. He lowered his head and said, "Oriental, sir, one of them claims to be the 'Rising Sun Firm'." 'The steward, he personally came to send a greeting card, hoping to meet you."

Du Lin thought about it, the rising sun should be Sunrise or Dongsheng. This kind of name is not suitable in the feudal society in the east. According to the cognition of those ancient emperors, these names may be taboo anytime and anywhere.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked the steward to make an arrangement. He was going to see the steward in the afternoon. He was curious what the people from the east would say to him.

Ophelia was really exhausted yesterday, and she is still sleeping. The nurse said that the girl got up and fed the baby once during the period, and the mother and child have been sleeping until now.

Du Lin looked through the glass window, and then left. He had a lot of things to deal with around Ophelia's birth and Troy's birth.

In the afternoon, he met guests from the East in the manor that Henry sent him. His manor had been decorated to look like a fairytale castle. The conspicuous colors and exaggerated artistic style were not very suitable as a place to receive people.

It happened that Henry sent a manor over, and Du Lin didn't refuse to receive it immediately. He thought it might be Mr. Knight's deliberate arrangement, like this kind of industry tycoon who has lived his whole life without dying of old age, and can still call the wind and rain. It's human.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the shopkeeper of Dongsheng Commercial Company appeared in Du Lin's new manor. He was accompanied by only two people, a man and a woman, both of whom were not very old.

They wear oriental costumes, which are very easy to identify. As the exchanges between the East and the West become closer, the society's curiosity about the Orient has also entered an explosive period. Some products with oriental characteristics are selling well. Some women with good figures are also willing to wear oriental-style clothes to go out. In the past two years, it seems that anything related to the orient has become a trend.

Later, when the shopkeeper introduced himself, Du Lin knew that the shopkeeper's surname was Du, and his name was Du Peng. Du Lin didn't know whether it was his real name or a translated name.

He did not reveal his ability to understand and speak oriental languages. Fortunately, shopkeeper Du Pont can speak Mandarin fluently. He always smiles when he speaks, his tone is gentle, and he pronounces every word very accurately. The speed of speech is not fast, which can easily give people a good initial impression of him.

"Mr. Dulin, the first thing I need to do is to congratulate you. I heard that you and your wife's child has been born safely. This is very good. For this reason, I have brought some gifts to you, your wife and your child.", he has some distinctive expressions when expressing, although it cannot be said that he is wrong, but it always makes people feel a little funny or novel.

He took a gift slip with a red background and gold lacquer from the hand of the boy beside him, holding on to the scroll of the gift slip in one hand, with the back of the other hand facing upwards, the hand that grabbed the scroll of the gift slip was pulled, and the slip was stretched between his hands, " Please see..."

It is not written in squares, it has been replaced by Western common characters. I have to say that this is a very expensive gift list. There are ninety-nine nuts made of various golds in one pound, which is not other some precious things.

Du Lin nodded and said thank you. He was not polite. This is not the habit of Westerners. At the same time, he was also curious, what do they want for such an expensive gift?

The orientals are very strange, which is clear to almost anyone who knows a little bit about the orientals. They refuse to open up the mainland on a large scale, but they are very keen on cultural exchanges between the two sides.

It is said that they have already bought a lot of patent licenses to go back to the East. Given that people are unfamiliar with the East and lack of perfect supervision channels to monitor whether the use of these patent licenses in the East complies with the law, the price of each license is very high. Expensive, but these can not stop the footsteps of the Orientals to buy, buy, buy.

They waved all kinds of gold products in exchange for everything they needed. Except for some high-tech technologies that were not sold, most of the civilian and industrial technologies were bought back by them.

Are they doing this to start an industrial revolution?

Du Lin doesn't think so. If a society wants to change, it can't be completed by relying on huge changes in a short period of time. It is impossible to shake the rule of the feudal dynasty. This is what Dulin is most curious about, what exactly they want to do.

After a daze, he came back to his senses. Du Peng let go of his hand and slowly retracted the scroll. He put the gift slip back into the box and pushed it to Du Lin's side.

Du Lin handed over the gift list to the butler, and the butler will arrange for someone to take the gift list to check whether the gifts are consistent with the list on the gift list.

"A very shocking gift list. I don't know how much it is worth, but I have seen your sincerity. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Du Lin said very bluntly. How much do you know about Eastern culture, so "stupid" Westerners and their "stupid" straightforwardness can sometimes have very good results.

Du Peng pursed his lips and smiled. This guy is very attractive. He looks in his thirties, with a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He lowered his head slightly, then looked up at Du Lin again, and asked a question, "Mr. Du Lin, we are also human beings, but we have been treated very unfairly just because of some changes in appearance, you Do you think that makes sense?"

Du Peng's opening remarks made Du Lin stunned for a moment, because he smelled a hint of "premeditation" from it. His speaking skills, the way he spoke, and the content of this sentence were obviously carefully designed.

It directly hit the most core part of Durin. He is not the mainstream Ogdin of the society, but the Guart.

This will make Du Lin naturally have some good feelings for Du Pont. No matter whether he thinks this sentence is right or not, it will be difficult to prevent the closeness from the same fate.

It will always be difficult for minorities to obtain real fairness in society, not that kind of false fairness, but real fairness!

Du Lin looked at Du Peng, and Du Peng met Du Lin's eyes without fear and smiled.

In fact, behind Dongsheng Commercial Bank is the royal family of the Great Qin Empire. Du Peng, who was sent to the western continent as the general manager, discovered a problem. These barbarians in the west are not as unreasonable as recorded in the past documents. .

Their society has a different form, and more importantly, the scientific and technological civilization of the West is obviously far superior to the technological development of the East. Therefore, the task given to Du Pont by the royal family is to copy some technologies to the East as much as possible. Cultivate a group of "scientists" belonging to the East itself.

But the problem is that those ordinary patented technologies are easy to buy. Once some core patented technologies are involved, these people are clenching their teeth and refusing to let go, and they are unwilling to sell them no matter how much money they give.

This made Du Peng very troublesome. This time he heard that Du Lin's child was born, so he just took this opportunity to visit Du Lin. It might be much more convenient if he could communicate with those businessmen through Du Lin.

Whether it is the East or the West, the form of power may be different, but the essence is always the same, unique and exclusive.

Dupont took the upper course very well, but he underestimated two things.

The first thing is that high-tech patents mean a company, a group's profit point in the next five to twenty years, and they will only sell these things cheaply if they are crazy.

The second thing is that the wisdom of people in this land has been circulating for a long time, such as "If we have different hair colors, different eye colors, and different skin colors, even if we all flow red blood, it cannot prove that we are of the same race ", the guard against outsiders has never stopped.

The things he can buy are actually patents that are about to be phased out.

Du Lin did not give a clear answer to Du Pont, which conflicts with his own interests. Du Pont can't give him what he wants, but it will block his way forward, unless the other party can come up with something that makes Du Lin's heart beat Otherwise, this would be their first and last meeting.

After sending Du Pont away, Du Lin made a phone call to the Social Service Bureau and asked about it. They were also in charge of patent registration, and they quickly communicated with Du Lin on this issue to ensure that important technologies would not leak out. .

Everyone can see that Orientals have great ambitions!

Since Dupont was sent away, a series of visitors from Dulin began to appear. They probably followed the same process. They said a few nice words to Dulin, and then sat down to talk about the recent weather problems. The nearest river has No fish, someone's dog got lost recently.

Then left a lot of gifts and got up to say goodbye, not talking about more substantive things, after all, this is also a ceremonial process.

And more ceremonial things will be placed when Durin baptizes Toy, and that is the most critical thing in the whole thing.

Now that he came to the imperial capital, he couldn't help but visit Magus. After dinner, Durin asked for a car and went to the research institute where Magus was receiving treatment without notifying Kubal.
