As the saying goes, one arrow pierces the clouds and thousands of troops come to meet you.
The moment the steam engine was invented, Lu Chen planned to send out invitations to heroes.
Merchants must be very interested in such a good thing. Lu Chen directly spread the news. He will hold the first steam engine launch conference in Beijing one month later!
I guess Steam Engine never thought that there would be a day when it would hold a press conference.
The merchants in the capital were the first to get the news, and everyone was very excited.
Everyone knows that since Lu Chen was born, no matter what he takes out, he can make money.
Before, they had no connections and had no chance to get to know Lu Chen. Now that Lu Chen has taken the initiative to release the news and provided a clear way, they must seize it!
As a result, the price of invitations to the press conference skyrocketed. I heard that someone has already offered a price of 12,000 yuan.
Seven days later, the merchants in Yangzhou also got the news. Shen Wanshan held a meeting and selected a few people to follow him north. They represented the merchants in the Yangzhou area.
As for the Nanling area which is farther away, Lu Chen could only say sorry, he couldn't wait.
For the next month, Lu Chen stayed at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He lived and ate with the craftsmen, and together they tried their best to improve the various designs of the steam engine, and also deduced many application scenarios of the steam engine.
He even took some time out of his busy schedule to set up the venue for the press conference. In short, he attached great importance to this matter.
After all, it is a steam engine, a product that can create an era!
A month after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather in the north had completely cooled down. Shen Wanshan, wearing a cashmere coat, stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the towering city wall in front of him and said, "We have finally arrived. Let's go, everyone, let's go and feel the atmosphere of the capital."
At the same time, some merchants in the capital were also eager to participate: "The Imperial Master lives in the capital. Whatever he invents should naturally benefit us in the capital. We can't let those country bumpkins outside take advantage of it."
In the past two days, everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people have been talking about Lu Chen's press conference. Everyone is very curious about what Lu Chen has come up with that has caused such a big fuss.
After Li Zhuo finished reviewing the memorial, he curiously asked Hua Bule beside him, "Do you know what the Imperial Master is planning to do?"
"I heard they were planning to sell a steam engine or something. Anyway, it's supposed to replace animals pulling the mill."
Livestock? Milling?
Hearing these two words, Li Zhuo instantly lost interest.
He felt that anything that could be associated with these two words was not a high-end matter and was not worthy of his attention as an emperor.
Even some officials looked uninterested when they heard that this was what Lu Chen was selling.
No wonder Lu Chen only sent invitations to the businessmen this time instead of to the dignitaries. It seems that Lu Chen also knows that the kind of thing that grinds the mill is not in line with their status!
Lu Chen didn't send invitations to these people, not because he felt that the steam engine was incompatible with the identities of these people.
He just felt that the dignitaries of Da Qi were not smart enough to realize how revolutionary the steam engine was.
In comparison, businessmen are much more perceptive in this regard and they must understand the value of the steam engine.
One month later, on this evening, Lu Chen and some important personnel from the Chinese Academy of Sciences arrived early at the venue of the press conference. This place was formerly called Nuanxiang Pavilion.
Lu Chen took the trouble to look at the form in his hand again and said, "Have you checked everything?"
Chen Sheng also checked the form in his hand very seriously and said, "Everything has been confirmed, and it has been confirmed three times. There will be no problems!"
Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Let's get started. We can let the guests in now."
The door of the venue opened and businessmen holding invitations entered one after another.
As soon as they came in, everyone was shocked by the decoration of the venue.
How luxurious and magnificent it is, made of crystal and glass everywhere, with countless candles lit around.
In the candlelight, the whole venue was sparkling.
Amidst exclamations, everyone quickly found their seats.
At this time, Lu Chen also walked onto the stage. He gestured upwards, and soon the light around him dimmed. Someone must have extinguished the candles on both sides. At the same time, two stronger rays of light shone on him, making him look like he was bathing in sunshine.
The merchants of Da Qi had never seen such a scene before. They were all shocked for a moment and thought that the national master was worthy of being the national master!
At this time, Lu Chen spoke up. He held a glass filled with red wine in his hand. He raised his glass to everyone present and said, "This is a project we collaborated on with Xixia. This is a high-quality red wine. There will be a banquet after the press conference, and everyone can try it then."
Lu Chen put his wine glass aside, glanced at everyone present, and slowly said, "You must be very curious about why I called you here in such a hurry."
"The reason is simple. I want to show you a groundbreaking product that can greatly improve work efficiency, make the previously impossible possible, give our dreams wings, and change the world."
Lu Chen's words completely confused all the businessmen.
Logically speaking, they knew that Lu Chen must have developed some new and good thing, and this thing would definitely sell for a lot of money.
But Lu Chen's description of this thing as so magical was far beyond their expectations.
What kind of product has such terrifying capabilities?
Countless people stretched their necks, curiously looking at Lu Chen who was standing on the stage and talking, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Lu Chen didn't hesitate. After saying this, he walked directly to the side of the steam engine, reached out and grabbed the red cloth covering it, and said, "Everyone, now is the time to witness a miracle. Please allow me, Longzhong, to introduce to you the latest invention of our Chinese Academy of Sciences... the steam engine!"
As Lu Chen said this, he tugged hard at the red cloth in his hand, and the red cloth suddenly fell to the ground. The two-meter-high steam engine officially met the world!
Lu Chen proudly pointed at the massive machine before him and said, "Let me introduce this to you all. This machine is called a steam engine. It has only one function, and that is to provide power. It provides a constant and enormous amount of power!"
After saying that, he snapped his fingers at Chen Sheng beside him and said, "Come on, show it!"
