Chapter 1803 Biplanes in England

"I will hand you a few buckets of fertilizer as samples. You can find farmers here to plant the same crop on two relatively barren lands to compare the effect. Different fertilizers are used in different farmlands and the crops have different effects. It is best to evaluate the land and crops by our technicians, and choose the crops that are most suitable for the planting and fertilizers used on this land, so that you can see the most significant difference."

"We will pile up the remaining fertilizers in the branch warehouse. If you think the effect is obvious at that time, you can buy them from our warehouse. For larger output, you can contact me via telegram, and I will send a ship to transport the fertilizer you need. I think both nobles and free farmers want to give more output to the land, so they can make more money with this, right?"

Li Jinde was still quite confident in the fertilizer he owned. As long as the nobles and free farmers and tenants found that the benefits they brought about by using fertilizers were higher than the costs they paid, they would choose to use fertilizers.

"How could I not believe you? But this is related to the reputation of our Levant Company in England. If I had not seen the effect of fertilizers with my own eyes and sold them to the farmer without authorization, if there was no effect at that time, I might have a bad reputation." Sir Henry said.

"You can just act according to your ideas. Our Empire Chemicals is not in a hurry to sell fertilizers to make a profit. We have a lot of funds." Li Jinde said, "I can even invest in you and go to North America to develop your business, 100,000 pounds or 200,000 pounds?"

"Take it seriously?" Sir Henry didn't expect that Li Jinde was so rich that he could use 200,000 pounds at will to develop North American colonies with him, which was still small in the market.

He estimated that Li Jinde's profitable business was still local, and his overseas business was only part of it, so he became so rich.

"When I go to my house to talk about this, I will explain in detail to you the development of a career in North America. Local cotton, tobacco, and sugar are good things. Believe me, tobacco will become a big business." Although Sir Henry can't play in the transformation industry, he also has his own familiar trade.

At this time, Li Jinde planned to generously donate money to work with him to develop business in the East Coast colony of North America, so of course he would introduce his plan to Li Jinde.

"Okay!" Li Jinde never thought that he would come to London City, and Sir Henry came up with a new idea.

As the founder of Imperial Chemical, he seems to have expanded his business to the colonial plantation economy...

"Mr. Li, I hope we can see you again."

“It’s an honor to see you here.”

A group of English businessmen in the Jiuzhou Bank branch bid farewell to Li Jinde, who had just "knowed", but Li Jinde can no longer remember who these people are.

Li Jinde and Sir Henry walked out of the branch gate, but the outside was still covered by water mist.

"The building of Kyushu Bank Branch is really grand. Apart from churches, few houses can surpass it."

Li Jinde looked up at the stone building of Jiuzhou Bank Branch, crushing the surrounding houses, looking majestic. There was a stone carved plaque on it, with four Chinese characters "Jiuzhou Bank" flying dragons and phoenixes dancing, and there was a string of English below.

"Your bank is really amazing. I guess the gold and silver in it will be several million pounds. If someone successfully robs the bank, it will probably not be enough to use the money you get in ten lifetimes." Sir Henry said.

"Then they must dare to rob it." Li Jinde entered the back seat of the Model T.

The rain covering the city of London took three days before stopping.

Two steamboats from the East were still on the Thames, and the navy soldiers on it finally waited until the rain stopped.

In addition to the naval soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet, there was also a team of soldiers who were not affiliated with the Beiyang Fleet. Their armbands had red dragon emblems, which were the pilot's logo.

One of the pilots looked at the black clouds dissipating in the air: "The weather has improved, and it seems that the dragon-type biplane we brought to the shore."

The officers and soldiers of the Beiyang Fleet came over and asked, "Do you need our assistance?"

"I'm here to you."

The two steam ironclad ships that arrived this time, "fog" and "moon" were ocean ships with deep drafts. They could not easily dock before the construction of a deep-water port in London. They could only transport the cargo in the ironclad ship ashore with small boats.

Three dragon biplanes were placed on the deck of the steamship, covered with waterproof canvas, and ropes were also attached to them to prevent damage caused by wind and waves during the way.

This time, the ironclad ship was loaded with three dragon biplanes to come to London City and was ordered to form the first flight team stationed in Europe!

Although the dragon-type biplane is not very practical, it is still deployed by Chu Yun in the city of London.

His intention is also very simple. He built a simple airport controlled by China to train pilots. When he invented a more practical metal monoplane in the future, this piece will play a huge role.

London City has a flight base for China, Portsmouth has a fleet of China, and England can only be tied to the same warship, standing opposite to the continent.

"Be careful, don't let the biplane fall into the river."

A dozen people used pulley sets and ropes to lower the dragon biplane.

The dragon-type biplane, which is still a prototype, is not heavy, only a few hundred kilograms. People with mechanical devices can easily load the dragon-type biplane onto a small boat.

After three dragon-type biplane landed, it attracted many onlookers by the river beach.

"What is this weird guy? With two pairs of wings, can you fly into the air like a vulture?"

"George, what stupid things are you saying! How can such a big thing fly into the sky? Unless it is God and angels, man cannot fly into the sky like a free bird!"

"I just said casually..."

The vast majority of Englanders had never seen a biplane, and they showed great interest in this strange machine, and the crowd whispered.

When the British customs officials saw the dragon biplane, they didn't know what it was or whether they would tax it. It seemed that there was no such strange machine on the list of products that needed taxation.

"Airplane, this is an airplane, not a commodity. We were ordered to come to the royal land in London to build a plane apron." The pilot who arrived with the ship negotiated with the customs officials.

Several English customs officials looked at each other, and then almost screamed in surprise: "It turns out that this is the plane our people saw at the last International Expo! We have heard of this kind of machine that can carry a person into the air! I didn't expect it to be like this, it looks really strange..."

"We want to drag them to a designated place with horses," the pilot said.
