I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

A lot of hot money is pouring into the market, looking for projects.

However, there are also some geniuses who have taken a different approach, aiming at these hot money.

Just like when everyone rushes to dig for gold, there is always one or two smart people who choose to sell hoes.

Xu Fu, an unlucky third-generation rich man.

The grandfather and father's generation had a good time, but during the war, the family property was looted by the chaos soldiers.

In his generation, although there is no shortage of usual expenses, he has lived better than most people.

However, he fell out of the top businessman circle and became an ordinary person.

In this situation, Xu Fu was naturally not reconciled.

He wants to make a comeback and restore the glory of his ancestors, but unfortunately he has no capital.

If you were an ordinary person, you would probably start a small business in a down-to-earth way, start all over again, and accumulate capital.

But Xu Fu didn't have such a plan. He knew that it was too difficult to make big money from a small business.

A business of 100 yuan, even if the profit is 100%, will only make 100 yuan.

A business of one million, even if the profit is only 10%, still earns 100,000.

The gap between the two is one heaven and one underground.

Therefore, the goal Xu Fu set for himself is to be big, it doesn't matter if he can make money or not, the scale has to be built first.

What if you don't have money?

It's just cheating.

After carefully observing the business conditions in Nanjing, Xu Fu found that there are many big landowners from the countryside. They have money, but because of their limited knowledge and poor information, they don't know where to put their money.

This made Xu Fu realize an opportunity.

For example, first come to a technology fair to deceive a project, and then blow the project into the sky, so that the old rich people who have no knowledge believe that this thing can make a lot of money.

Then he threw out the shareholding system and sold the shares of the project.

By falsifying the shares to create a false appearance of being valuable and unmarketable, there is no need to worry about those old rich people not taking the bait.

Fortunately, Wu Changqing didn't know the talent who played concept stocks, otherwise he would have to be promoted to the director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Commerce.

Before stocks and stock exchanges have appeared, this guy has already taken a step forward and learned to use concept stocks to cheat money and cut leeks. He is a talent.

This kind of talent is either reused or killed. Anyway, you can't stay uncontrolled in society and endanger the world.

Xu Fu found an invention that was relatively less competitive. It was too popular. There were too many people competing, and his identity as a poor ghost was easily exposed.

Originally, he really wanted to cooperate with the guy who invented the perpetual motion machine. After all, the idea of ​​perpetual motion motion machine is very attractive, and it can paint an extremely magnificent future map for investors.

But who would have thought that the guy was thrown out by the Ouchi guards at the exposition, I am afraid that he has already become famous, and this project is also easy to be broken.

So, he chose a slightly more secure project.

Steam carriage.

The steam carriage also sounds very tall.

Use steam engines to provide power, replace horses, and achieve full mechanization.

At first glance, this project is very exciting, because today's steam engines can even propel such heavy ships and trains.

It should be no problem to push a small carriage.

However, an invention idea that made business people drool was rejected by Wu Changqing and criticized as unrealistic.

As a later generation, Wu Changqing knew that there was a steam car in the original history, but unfortunately it failed.

Because of the reduction of the size of the steam engine, it is very difficult.

The internal combustion engine will appear again when there is technology that can reduce the size of the steam engine to a practical value.

Compared with the internal combustion engine, the steam engine is a younger brother.

And then, the steam car is also; of course stillborn.

Historically, there has only been one steam car, and it has a lot of shortcomings.

Low efficiency, small power, large size, troublesome to use and so on.

So, this is an invention doomed to fail.

Wu Changqing didn't want the other party to take detours. After all, the other party could come up with this invention direction, and it was also a talent.

However, in this world, success is not guaranteed by talent.

Every successful person needs some chance and luck.

Wu Changqing personally explained several unsolvable problems of steam cars, and then asked the other party to focus on other aspects that need to provide power.

Wu Changqing's speech by Jinkou Yuyan made other businessmen's interest in the project immediately plummet.

And this gave Xu Fu a chance.

Although Wu Changqing personally said that this thing is a bit unrealistic, he did not completely say no. He did not let the guards in the big family throw him out like he did with the person who invented the perpetual motion machine.

This shows that this thing, in fact, there is still some controversy.

As long as your eloquence is good enough, you can justify yourself, and you can fool investors.

Because Wu Changqing didn't ask the big inner guard to throw the other party out, it was a bit difficult for people who didn't come to the science and technology fair to know about this.

It is enough to fool those who are not well-informed.

In one corner of the exhibition, Wei Hong was struggling with which research direction he should change next.

The steam car was denied by Wu Changqing, and he was also quite depressed.

If others deny his research, he will

Maybe he will laugh, laugh at the other side's shortsightedness.

A steam engine can propel a ship to propel a train, but why can't it propel a smaller carriage?

However, it was Wu Changqing who denied him, a god emperor, a sage king, and the smartest person in the world.

He doesn't dare to question the words of the smartest person.

It's just that such a perfect idea is really not reconciled after it is shattered.

At this moment, Xu Fu found him.

"Dr. Wei, it's a pity for your project." Xu Fu was quite polite.

"Alas, I'm still too naive and not thoughtful enough."

Wei Hong smiled bitterly.

"No, no, I think that Dr. Wei's project still has a head start."

Xu Fu said.

"How is it possible, His Majesty said that it is very difficult to shrink the steam engine cylinder and other parts, so what else can be done."

"As long as Dr. Wei believes in me, I can get your invention invested and continue to research. As for whether it can be done or not, it depends on the will of God. Maybe you are lucky, God bless you, and you have a flash of inspiration, and you think of shrinking it. way.

By that time, it was a world-famous invention. Now a BMW car can make a lot of money. Just imagine, if this steam car comes out, then you have to become the richest man in the country? "

Xu Fu painted a picture for Wei Hong, which made Wei Hong quite moved.

As Xu Fu said, what if you are lucky and God bless you?

Unless Wu Changqing is heaven, he cannot be 100% correct.

Although questioning Wu Changqing's idea is a bit outrageous, Wei Hong still can't help thinking about it.

After all, it was his blood.
