At a quarter past seven in the morning, the richest man in Zhongzhou walked out of his bedroom wearing a Chinese tunic suit, leather shoes, and a neatly combed back hair.
"Here, bring me the perfume."
Naturally, there are followers who put perfume on his armpits and chest.
'Dong dong dong'
There was a knock on the door.
The richest man in Zhongzhou was stunned. When he opened the door, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a red robe with a smile on his face and said softly: "Mr. Xu Ziqiang. Welcome to attend the Academic Exchange and Discussion Conference of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. The Kyushu Academy of Sciences wishes you a warm welcome." It's a great honor. When the time comes, I'll pick you up. Please get in the car."
Xu Ziqiang nodded, turned around, and tucked his own gilded invitation under his arm: "Lead the way."
When he walked out of the door, he was stunned.
But he saw a strange car parked at the door. This car looked a bit like the legendary steam car, but it was more luxurious than the legendary one.
The golden car has a cloak in front and a driver's seat below. The four wheels are all rubber wheels, and black smoke is constantly coming out of the rear, which is the smoke emitted by the coal. The white smoke rising above is water vapor.
'Boom boom boom' The car kept making mechanical sounds.
The carriage was so luxurious that people couldn't believe it was a carriage, but a small palace. There is a thick wool carpet all the way down in front of the car. It is only a few meters long that the carpet must be laid.
The driver quickly got out of the car, trotted towards Xu Ziqiang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu Ziqiang, I am the driver sent by Xingtu Group. Please take the Tianzihao steam car that Xingtu Group will soon launch."
"Steam car!"
Xu Ziqiang exclaimed, and in order to cover up his lack of experience, he quickly kept an expressionless face and pretended to be sitting down all the time.
The driver led him to the car and opened the door curtain for him.
Xu Ziqiang sat in, twisting uneasily on the extremely soft sofa, feeling cold in his heart. This... I'm afraid it's not cheap, right
'Woooooo'
The exhaust pipe made a whistling sound, and Xu Ziqiang nervously grabbed the armrest. However, the steam car did not shake at all as he imagined. He could hardly feel any uneasiness and walked out smoothly.
"This... is so magical!"
Xu Ziqiang looked at the steam car in front of him, which had no horses and was just moving on its own. He was constantly amazed in his heart. If this car came on the market, he would definitely buy one.
When he opened the curtains, he saw steam cars slowly approaching on the red-carpeted road from all directions.
Xu Ziqiang couldn't help but become solemn and nervous. This is a great event…
Xu Ziqiang was not alone in his mood. In fact, everyone who got on the steam car felt a grand atmosphere.
On both sides of the road, there are ordinary people, onlookers, intellectuals from all over the world, rich people and elites from all over the world who want to be guests but are not qualified. I watched with envy and enthusiasm as the steam cars slowly moved forward on the red carpet road.
Everything is boiling.
"I'm just saying, I'm the richest man in our county, why am I not qualified to participate? Feelings... all these guests are big guys."
"That's Xu Ziqiang, the richest man in Zhongzhou."
"Look, that's Qian Mao, the first-rank official of the General Office of Education."
"Oh my god, this is all a big shot that will shake the entire Kyushu."
"Why, why didn't I receive the invitation?"
"Ah, I don't accept it."
"Everyone thought this was a free exchange meeting for intellectuals. Who would have thought that this summit would be so high-end?"
"This is probably the only national intellectual summit in the entire history of Kyushu. It is the most high-end and authoritative."
"I didn't expect that the Kyushu Institute of Physics would have such great energy. Even the guests are all at least as high as the richest man in the state. So how high-end are the intellectuals who participated in the discussion?"
“…”
But the intellectuals who came from all over the country clenched their fists in excitement.
"One day, I will be able to attend such an authoritative summit."
"Why, is this summit really so high-end? I have been immersed in retro research for ten years, but my registration was canceled and I was not allowed to enter. Is this such an exaggeration?"
"I want to see it this time. Can you still be so good at playing tricks? You are so awesome that even I am not allowed to participate in discussions and exchanges. Can you be so good at playing science?"
"Oh, I regret it. I didn't sign up to participate. These one thousand guests are almost all the upper class elites in the entire Kyushu. These people are the guests, what a huge crowd. I didn't sign up."
“…”
All intellectuals are trapped in an extremely complex mentality.
In the country of Yamato, an old scholar and professor led a study abroad team of several hundred people to stand excitedly on the roadside, screaming at the steam engine;
"That's a steam car!"
"It was Li Zhen of Kyushu who invented the steam engine, and there are already steam cars."
"We in Yamato must learn this advanced knowledge."
"Unfortunately, we don't have an invitation, so we can't enter."
"No, there is also a scientist from our country, Yamato, who has received an invitation. He is the only person from our country, Yamato, who is qualified to enter. And he is not a guest, he is a scientist."
“…”
In Yamato Country, a young man stood in the crowd, clenched his fists tightly, looked at the gate of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences and murmured: "One day, I will also have the qualifications to participate in such a summit!"
In the White Robe Country, all the study abroad teams collectively screamed, watching the guests who got off the steam car one by one, stepped on the gold carpet and buttoned up, and walked into the Kyushu Academy of Sciences with every step. I was so excited that I couldn't help myself. They had never seen a day when so many big guys would gather here.
"This year, Jin Shiteng, the ninth prince of our White Robe Kingdom, enters the competition as a scientist."
"Look, that's the Ninth Prince Jin Shiteng."
“…”
'Woooooooo' The steam train arrived at the gate of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. Jin Shiteng, who was wearing a white robe and national costume, walked down and looked around, only to see a dense crowd outside the red carpet looking at him with envy and excitement.
Jin Shiteng suddenly felt emotional. This is the respect that scholars should receive. I am very grateful that the Kyushu Academy of Sciences has made people in this world respect scientific researchers like never before.
"Sir, invitation."
Jin Shiteng handed over the invitation in his hand and verified it. Immediately, a beautiful woman in a dress walked forward quickly with a smile: "Mr. Jin Shiteng, please follow me."
Stepping onto the golden carpet, Jin Shiteng took a deep breath. He actually felt nervous...
The ninth prince of the royal family of the White Robe Kingdom and the envoy to Jiuzhou actually felt nervous here.
He murmured: "It's like waiting for the final college entrance examination results more than ten years ago..."
