234 Release Ceremony (I wish readers a happy New Year's Day)(1/2)
"Good morning, President Anglia."
As soon as Jiangxi Lin walked to the door of the office, he met Anglia Tongen, wearing a dark red woolen coat and long leather boots, rushing out of the office.
"Hey, Xilin, I'm looking for you."
Anglia Tongen stopped and stood in front of Jiang Xilin, and then continued,
"Let's go out with me."
"Where are you going? I made an appointment with Andy to do an experiment together today?"
Jiang Xilin was a little reluctant to go out, not because it was freezing outside, but because it didn't make sense to go out with Anglia Tong En.
Although the president is indeed fair-skinned and beautiful, with long legs and a thin waist, it doesn't matter whether she is beautiful or not.
Nothing can stop his determination to conduct research and experiments, unless...
"Go to the Christopher Institute for the launch of their Blaze 1 device."
"Okay, President, when will we leave?"
If I had told you earlier, I would have thought I was going out for something.
He had already said that he was going to attend the launch ceremony of the Blazing Type 1 device, which is known as the core driving force of the "Arcane Elements Project", but he didn't even mention that he and Andy would conduct experiments together.
Anglia Tongen was amused by the contrast in Jiangxi Lin's attitude before and after.
"Let's go now."
…
…
Although the Christopher Research Institute is also in the Gresel District and is not far from the Tong En Research Institute.
But Anglia Tongen still chose to take a carriage there.
After all, it is estimated that one-third of the arcane practitioners, capitalists and big factory owners in the entire royal capital will be present today.
Everyone was riding in a luxurious carriage, but he and Anglia Tongen were the only ones walking there. Is this ridiculous?
Therefore, no matter how short of funds the research institute is now, it still has to maintain its due reputation.
In the carriage compartment, Jiangxi Lin and Anglia Tongen were sitting opposite each other.
Jiang Xilin, who had nothing to do, took the initiative to find a topic in order to keep the atmosphere quiet.
"President, what do you think about the plan for the arcane element storage device?"
"I have read the plan you wrote. Generally speaking, it is similar to our previous research topic based on Lansdale crystals."
"so?"
"This is the reason why I asked you to come with me today. Let's first take a look at the specific situation of their Blazing 1 device, and then discuss the issues regarding your plan."
After all, the research institute is currently short of funds. If Jiang Xilin's plan is rashly agreed to, a new funding hole will appear in the research institute.
This is something Tongen Research Institute cannot afford now.
After hearing this, Jiangxi Lin also agreed with Anglia Tongen's approach.
At the same time, he also understood why she didn't call anyone today and asked him to accompany her to the Christopher Institute.
…
The carriage traveled smoothly.
After leaving Xizhi Road, more and more carriages merged into the same path.
"Just a few minutes further along this road you can see the Christopher Institute."
Anglia Tongen said to Jiang Xilin who opened the window and looked out the window.
Jiang Xilin knew where the Christopher Research Institute was, he was just looking at how many people would attend the launch ceremony.
Judging from what has been observed so far, I'm afraid there won't be a shortage of people.
Jiangxi Lin closed the car window, lowered the curtain, and set his sights on Anglia Tongen, who was tall and well-proportioned and had a beautiful face.
"President, do you think their Blazing Type 1 device can be successful?"
"Why do you ask?"
Anglia Tongen looked at Jiang Xilin with a puzzled expression.
"Isn't it successful? The launch ceremony is about to begin."
"I'm referring to the noble men who control the coal resources. Will they allow the Christopher Research Institute's Blazing Type 1 device to be sold?"
"To be honest... I haven't thought too much about this."
Anglia Tongen instinctively wanted to say, "Why not allow it?", but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized the true core of Jiang Xilin's question.
This isn't just an energy market competition between Arcane Elements and coal burning.
Hidden behind this is the struggle for the dominance of the kingdom between the two major forces of the kingdom - the emerging capital aristocracy and the old coal mining aristocracy.
Otherwise, why would the "Arcane Elements Project" that was launched more than a hundred years ago fail midway?
The emerging capital aristocracy a hundred years ago was not strong enough, so it failed.
Capital has developed over the past hundred years, and now, people who cannot stand loneliness have jumped out to challenge the old rulers.
This is inevitable.
Because the current co-rulers and governance methods of the kingdom make them very insecure.
No one wants to see the family fortune they have worked so hard for disappear.
Therefore, capitalists who control huge amounts of capital will inevitably demand the kingdom's right to rule.
All the coal mines in the kingdom had been divided up two hundred years ago, and the social structure had long been solidified on the basis of coal mines.
The emerging nobles who were unable to obtain coal mines had no choice but to find other ways.
Then, some ambitious people set their sights on the inexhaustible resource of arcane elements.
Thus, an "Arcane Elements Project" spanning a hundred years began.
What Jiangxi Lin is most concerned about now is whether the current capital aristocracy has the strength to compete with the old coal mining aristocrats.
…
…
The carriage slowly stopped at the grand entrance of Christopher Research Institute.
Jiangxi Lin opened the door and got out of the car, and then imitated the gentlemen of this world and stretched out his hand, intending to help Anglia Tongen.
However, his behavior made Anglia Tongen, who thought she knew Jiangxi Lin relatively well, slightly stunned.
However, after being stunned, she still stretched out her hand to gently support the back of Jiangxi Lin's hand, jumped out of the carriage, and smiled slightly at Jiangxi Lin Fushen,
"Thanks!"
"Beautiful lady, it is my pleasure."
Jiangxi Lin is not just an iron man who only knows how to conduct research and experiments.
When facing a beautiful lady who suits his own taste and is pleasing to the eye, he will not always show aloofness and avoid strangers.
Anglia Tongen couldn't help but smile and paid for the taxi.
Afterwards, the two of them walked side by side towards the Christopher Research Institute.
The entrance door of the institute is very grand, with a symmetrical structure and a triangular roof design, which looks a bit like the Parthenon.
Well-dressed arcanists, capitalists and factory owners, either alone or with their wives and children, were walking inside.
Jiangxi Lin and Anglia Tongen were also among these decent people, and walked into the door supported by a pillar more than four meters high.
…
"Sir, Madam, please come this way, please pay attention to your safety."
"Sir, please come with me. The bathroom is over here."
"Ma'am, please come this way."
…
The reception staff of the Christopher Institute are polite and attentive to guide every arriving guest and solve problems. Their service attitude is simply impeccable.
"The reception staff alone are more than the entire staff of our institute combined."
Jiang Xilin couldn't help but look around and muttered softly.
"How can it be compared? They have a family behind them, but I don't."
Anglia Tongen gave Jiang Xilin a blank look.
"But when I first joined the research institute, Andy told me that it was the second-largest arcane magic circle research institute in the entire royal capital!"
"He's right. There are only two research institutions specializing in arcane magic formations in the royal capital."
