The Mage in the Late Qing Dynasty

Chapter 943 Public Speech in the Rain on the Street

Before, Zhao Chuanxin couldn't do it so easily.

But after taking the Six Senses Potion, I can only say that this is just playing.

What kind of Barton technique can you do in front of him and make him lose?

While King Edward VII was talking to Zhao Chuanxin, outside the British Consulate in The Hague, a group of The Hague residents were waiting to see the King off.

This is their spontaneous action.

"The King of England is fine."

"He can visit us, and I will come to see him off."

There were folk artists who performed on the organ car that day.

After hearing that the King of England came to see him in the rain and caught wind and cold, and then went to see God with pneumonia, he blamed himself very much.

What a good king, what an approachable king.

In addition to ordinary people, there are also numerous small and medium-sized business owners.

For example, Swedish entrepreneur Akofred opened a branch of his company in The Hague, mainly engaged in industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals, as well as the paint business.

He came here firstly because he wanted to see the British King, and secondly because he heard that Zhao Chuanxin was also there.

He said: "Damn Zhao Chuanxin."

Why does he hate Zhao Chuanxin?

Because he heard that Zhao Chuanxian proposed a welfare system of five insurances and one fund, which greatly hindered the interests of various companies. After all, they were the ones who paid for it.

He set the pace, and several business owners and people immediately responded: "Yes, the King of England's illness must be the bad luck brought about by the bad luck star Zhao Chuanxian."

"Yes, everything was fine before Zhao Chuanxin came. Now the Netherlands is at odds with Germany and almost offended Britain. Fortunately, the king's condition is in remission."

There are also people who speak up for Zhao Chuanxin, such as Aksu, who deals in man-made fibers: "What Mr. Zhao does only represents himself. We Dutch have always advocated freedom. This is other people's freedom."

"Nonsence……"

Inside the embassy.

A thousand cups of wine with a close friend is too little, and half a sentence without speculation is too much.

Edward VII felt that chatting with Zhao Chuanxin was opportunistic.

They had only met twice and were about to leave. Edward VII felt deeply disappointed.

He asked: "Zhao, some people say that you not only know spells, but also tell fortunes. How about you tell fortunes for me?"

Not to mention, Zhao Chuanxian really carries some gadgets with him.

For example, the Three Emperors Tongbao is a big coin, or the lot he carved.

Zhao Chuanxin is a veteran at making mysteries, but if the gossip comes from the palm of his hand, Edward VII will definitely not be able to understand it.

He then took out the lottery box engraved with ancient patterns and said, "Draw lots and I will explain it to you."

Edward VII may not be convinced, but more curious.

He shook the lottery box, and after a while, a lottery fell out.

Zhao Chuanxin raised his hand and picked up the lottery with his deputy.

Everyone's eyes widened, and the mere act of picking up objects from the air made people gasp in admiration.

Zhao Chuanxin said in a loud voice: "It's difficult for Mother Su to leave, so I'll sign a lot, it's a big disaster."

The doubtful are most afraid of this.

You said everything was fine, but he laughed it off and thought you were just saying something nice.

But you said that it is a sign of great misfortune. A toad crawls on the instep of the foot. If it doesn't bite, it will bite people.

The smile on Edward VII's face froze: "What's the explanation?"

Zhao Chuanxin held the sign, put his hand behind his back, and opened his mouth: "Running around to overcome many dangers, carrying water and mud to cross the mountains. I even looked to other places for help, and I have never returned after traveling thousands of miles away."

King Edward VII was confused: "What do you mean?"

"It's easy to retreat, but it's difficult to make progress. This tells you, don't have too high expectations for the future. Although you have some luck now, if you get carried away and pursue more, the results will not be very good. You must be cautious in everything and handle it as appropriate. , explore the root cause, and review one’s own progress and retreat.”

Edward VII stood stunned on the spot.

In fact, what Zhao Chuanxin said was clear and logical, with both nose and eyes.

What Edward VII was thinking about was to find a way to get Zhao Chuanxin to take out more miraculous medicines and distribute them to his wife and children, or hold them in his hands as a trump card, and he never knew when he would be able to use them.

Moreover, since taking the magical potion given by Zhao Chuanxin yesterday, his cold has healed on its own, he is in great spirits, eats deliciously, sleeps soundly, and his old problem of waking up at night has disappeared, and he can wake up naturally after a sleep.

Men pursue control, more or less. In the desire for control, there is also control over oneself.

Edward VII felt good about himself and had the ambition to win over Shu.

Zhao Chuanxin's decision to cancel the contract undoubtedly gave him a heavy blow.

Seeing that his face looked ugly, Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth and smiled: "It's okay. If you don't like it, just keep pumping until you are satisfied."

King Edward VII: "..."

He really continued to shake, and another lot fell out.

Zhao Chuanxin picked it up and looked at it: "When I met a teacher in Yin Jiao, I signed a lot. If there is no theory, there will be no family, and water-based idiots are like fallen flowers. If you ask for your kindness, you must be powerful, but in the end you will see that everything is like a mess. Don't talk about right and wrong, be sure to be careful. Heart Only by being upright can you avoid disasters. This sign is a sign of ignorance. If you act arrogantly, disaster will happen."

Edward VII's head was buzzing.

He had just won the lottery, and he was still thinking: I, young Meng Lang, are despised by others. But since he ascended the throne as king, everything he has done has been admirable. How could a man of great virtue be unlucky?

As a result, the next draw was to warn him not to brag, to act carefully, and not to be complacent and look forward to his own success.

Could it be that Zhao Chuanxin can see through people's hearts? Or is it true?

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: "It's okay, if you're not satisfied, keep pumping!"

This stuff is just like astrology, it's ambiguous, and it's just something to fool people.

King Edward VII hurriedly waved his hand: "I won't smoke anymore, I've realized it."

Zhao Chuanxin patted his shoulder: "You have to take it off, very good."

The group walked out.

Edward VII asked Zhao Chuanxin as they walked: "Zhao, what do you think I should do?"

"Uh..." Zhao Chuanxin said casually: "Retire at the peak of your career, or if your hardware is seriously aged, you can start over and try reincarnation again."

"..."

The Hague has been drizzling and cold these days.

This time when he went out, his entourage hurriedly offered a big umbrella to protect Edward VII from the wind and rain.

As for Zhao Chuanxin, no one paid attention to him.

However, when the British Consul General in The Hague, Leon Venus, and Edward VII turned around, they saw that Zhao Chuanxin was unusually dry, and the rain gathered into a stream above his head and flowed down from all sides, as if there was an invisible umbrella shining on him.

The two thought they were dazzled, but when they looked again, it was still the same.

Just as they were about to ask, Edward VII saw that there were many people outside.

He had to suppress his doubts and went forward to greet the people of The Hague.

Socializing is his forte.

At this moment, someone shouted in the rain: "Zhao Chuanxin, look here."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice.

Zhao Chuanxin was no exception.

In the crowd, someone suddenly threw a rotten egg.

Edward VII and others were shocked by the sudden change and had no time to react.

It is difficult for normal people to react to such a change, even well-trained bodyguards.

The egg cut through the rain curtain, and the target was clear-Zhao Chuanxin.

Some people were shocked, some were at a loss, and some were worried.

Zhao Chuanxin leaned back slightly, stretched out his hand, twisted his hand in a strange posture, and turned it in the direction of the egg's rotation, pinching and pulling it back with his thumb, index finger and middle finger.

His time seemed to pass ten or twenty times slower than that of the others, and he easily pinched the rotten egg.

I'm afraid, this works?

Edward VII was shocked.

It was Akofred who threw the rotten egg, and he looked at Zhao Chuanxin holding the rotten egg with his eyes wide open.

Zhao Chuanxin's eyes were like lightning, and he found him in the crowd at a glance.

He pulled the corner of his mouth and walked towards Akofred.

Akofred was at a loss and stood there.

Zhao Chuanxin's steps seemed small, but each step was at least five meters, and he was close in two steps.

He pinched Akofred's jaw and squeezed it hard, and Akofred's mouth opened involuntarily.

Zhao Chuanxin stuffed the rotten egg into his mouth and pushed his chin upward.

Crack...

The rotten egg broke in his mouth, and the rotten egg liquid flowed all over his mouth.

Akofred: "Ugh..."

The people around him scattered.

Akofred vomited all the overnight meal and almost vomited out bitter gall.

When he finished vomiting, Zhao Chuanxin looked down at him: "Just throw a rotten egg?"

"I..." Akofred thought to himself, I didn't expect you to catch it, and you can pick me out of the crowd at a glance, even though you have already hidden.

It's really a self-inflicted blow.

Seeing the miserable state of Akofred, the people around could not help but persuade him: "Mr. Zhao, spare him."

Edward VII and British Consul General Leon Venus and others were watching the show.

"Spare him?" Zhao Chuanxin was amused.

He grabbed Akofred's neck and threw him to the ground.

Akofred could not help but kneel on the ground, supporting himself with his arms.

Zhao Chuanxin stepped on his back, and Akofred fell down under the strong force, his face buried in his vomit.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the people around him with a sneer on his face: "What makes you think that I will repay evil with virtue? Today, I will let you, the thief, eat enough water."

Akofred's mouth, stained with dirty liquid, rubbed back and forth on the ground.

It was painful and disgusting, and he couldn't help vomiting again.

Until Zhao Chuanxin found that Edward VII and others looked like they were watching a good show, he moved his feet away.

"Get lost." Zhao Chuanxin kicked him, and Akofred rolled on the ground three times, got up and ran away desperately.

After all, it was Wilhelmina's country and his own woman, Zhao Chuanxin had to give her face and not let outsiders see the joke.

But some people were dissatisfied and shouted in the crowd: "Zhao Chuanxin, what can you bring to the Netherlands? What is your purpose in approaching the queen?"

Old Zhao was soft-hearted and said with a smile: "I have always only asked for things, not given back. The queen brought me a child, how come any of you want to buy one and get one free?"

Everyone: "..."

This stinky and shameless dog!

Seeing that he did not continue to be violent, a small business owner boldly asked: "Zhao Chuanxin, was the five social insurances and one housing fund your idea?"

Zhao Chuanxin admitted generously: "Yes, it was my idea, what do you think?"

The surrounding business owners were silent.

But the people were confused.

What?

The five social insurances and one housing fund that have been making a lot of noise recently were Zhao Chuanxin's idea?

It's really a flood that washed away the Dragon King Temple, and it turns out that they are all our own people.

The five social insurances and one housing fund are the beneficiaries of the Dutch general public.

Some people in The Hague couldn't help asking: "Mr. Zhao... Mr. Zhao, was the low-rent housing your idea?"

Even the address became respectful.

Housing for the people has always been a major problem that needs to be solved in the Netherlands.

Since the news of low-rent housing was revealed by the House of Commons and the House of Commons, the people of The Hague were really happy for a while.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, I proposed it."

Edward VII looked at him curiously.

Never expected that Zhao Chuanxin had other talents besides cigars, women, clothes, iron and blood.

Edward VII suddenly felt that Boya met Ziqi, the two were so similar.

"Mr. Zhao, can you elaborate?"

Someone in the crowd suggested.

Zhao Chuanxin showed no signs of stage fright. He took two steps, jumped more than two meters, and jumped onto the roof of the carriage prepared for King Edward VII.

He walked around the crowd and raised his voice with his vocal organ: "The Netherlands has an average of more than 400 residents per square kilometer, making it one of the countries with the highest population density in Europe. Housing is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently. The first housing shortage. , appeared at the end of the last century, and from the Industrial Revolution to the present, a large number of laborers have poured into the city, promoting the process of urbanization and causing slums to appear in the city.

Many people have no money to buy a house, but they have housing needs, and there is a surplus of real estate in society. Therefore, I advocate the formation of a universal social housing rental model in the Netherlands.

There are mainly the following four points.

First, a social housing association is established. Rental housing is provided by the social housing association. The social housing association is not for profit, so it can provide affordable low-rent housing for low-income people.

Second, the Dutch government does not participate in housing construction, but provides policy support to housing associations.

Third, with the participation of the yamen, the social housing association has formed a fair rental housing application and allocation system to meet the housing specifications and geographical requirements of the renters as much as possible.

The fourth is the housing provident fund among the five insurances and one fund. If people don’t have the motivation to save money, we can use this mechanism to help them save money to buy houses, and provide the opportunity to buy houses as fairly as possible..."

Zhao Chuanxin kept talking, talking eloquently in the rain.

There was silence below.

There are many people raising contradictions and problems, and even more people are taking the lead.

The rare thing is the person who provides the solution.

Originally, most of the visitors were those who saw off King Edward VII.

Gradually, more and more people gathered around, mostly the audience attracted by Zhao Chuanxin's public speech.

Zhao Chuanxian, from the low-rent housing, talked about the social security system: "In the social security system, the funding sources of different subsidies should be different, but generally, they are borne by the employer, the government and the employees. Employees aged 16 and above are insured. Everyone must share insurance contributions. However, the proportion of contributions should be different in different regions of the Netherlands, which is determined based on people's livelihood conditions and income.

The funds of the employee insurance plan are shared by the employer. In specific operations, the employer advances the payment first and hands the assessment to the industry association, which keeps and pays it uniformly. On some plans, employers can deduct a portion of an employee's salary afterward.

In my opinion, there should be a "Children's Allowance for Salary Recipients Act". Its assessment shall be paid entirely by the employer, since the child living allowance shall be regarded as a redistribution of the total income for expenditure..."

Some business owners couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, who should decide the amount of assessments under the "Lack of Work Ability Insurance Law" you mentioned?"

They discovered that Zhao Chuanxian had almost thoroughly explored the Dutch welfare system and introduced new ones.

The welfare systems Zhao Chuanxin mentioned are not blindly exploiting employers to satisfy employees, as they think, but are mutually beneficial.

Then the hostility subsided slightly.

Edward VII mused.

Wearing glasses, standing at a high place and talking eloquently, Zhao Chuanxin did not even use a speech script.

But his words can convey the meaning, what he says is novel, and he can pick up any aspect at his fingertips. This is by no means a skill that can be developed overnight.

He even felt that most of the members of the British Parliament were not as talented as Zhao Chuanxin.

It is not an exaggeration to describe him as a talented person.

This man at the top of the world's violent chain actually has such a side.

Zhao Chuanxin did not disappoint, and answered without even thinking: "During the implementation of the "Inability to Work Insurance Law", the subsidies paid should be raised from the collected contributions. This amount of contributions shall be determined by the enforcement of the law. The committee determined that, subject to approval by the Minister of Social Affairs and Public Health, the rate of assessment is the same in all industries, and I personally believe that this amount should be borne by the employer in principle, and the employer can deduct it from the employee's salary. A portion of the deduction shall not exceed 1.3%. The employer will hand over the money to the industry association, which will invest all of it into the Inability to Work Fund. The fund will be responsible for paying all the expenses incurred by the industry association in the implementation of the law..."

Afterwards, Zhao Chuanxian talked about unemployment benefits and gave specific proportions. These data were more detailed than what he gave to Dutch Prime Minister Jan Simskocker.

Aksu, the owner of the man-made fiber company, had bright eyes.

He had long wanted to visit Zhao Chuanxin, but he never had the chance.

Of course, at first he just wanted to open a sales channel in the Far East through Zhao Chuanxin.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Chuanxin was so outstanding.

This is such a fucking talent.

Among the growing crowd, in addition to small and medium-sized business owners and ordinary people, there are also many Dutch dignitaries.

These people raised their heads, against the rain, and looked at the man on top of the carriage, listening to his long words without feeling bored.

The people heard about their rights and interests, business owners understood what they had to pay and gain in various new welfare systems, and those important officials thought more. They were weighing the possibilities and consequences of what Zhao Chuanxin said.

At this time, someone asked loudly: "Mr. Zhao, I am Gerald Philips, the operator of Philips Company and an engineer. What suggestions do you have for the development of Dutch companies? What do you think of the prospects of carbon filament light bulbs?" ?”

Zhao Chuanxin smiled slightly: "Dutch companies are different from other European and American countries. There are many family businesses here, most of which are small and medium-sized enterprises, and the family-style equity ratio is high. The disadvantage is that there are few securities on hand, so there are not many means of mortgage for loans, which is a shortcoming. But the advantage is also obvious. Small and medium-sized enterprises are more flexible than large enterprises. The limited advice I can give is that you should pay more attention to products and customer needs than other companies, rely on meticulous services to win orders, and get involved in more cross-border business activities, including imports and exports, international investment and international cooperation, and use the minimum cost to pry the maximum leverage. As for your company's carbon filament light bulbs, they will definitely be better than Edison's bamboo filament light bulbs, but they are not the best solution. And you don't have to stick to the single product of light bulbs."

At this time, Philips was not as famous as it was in later generations, and was in the early stages of entrepreneurship.

Gerald Philips' eyes flashed after listening to Zhao Chuanxin's words.

Zhao Chuanxin's last sentence was full of meaning.

He couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Zhao, is there any possibility for us to cooperate?"

Many small and medium-sized business owners who had the same idea stretched their necks and pricked up their ears to listen to Zhao Chuanxin's answer.

Zhao Chuanxin stood with his hands behind his back, and his dry coat was lifted by the wind.

He said lightly: "Why not?"
