Northern Shanghai is clear and clear. The waves on the Neva River under the sun are lively, and a cruise ship ripples in the river. Anyone who just comes here will be intoxicated by the beautiful scenery here.

Green trees on both sides of the river are reflected on the water surface. On the path paved with pebbles under the shade, pedestrians walk in groups of three or three.

Northern Shanghai, the city itself symbolizes the merits of the Ming Dynasty. This land once belonged to Sweden. In 1698 AD, the Ming Northern Company seized it from Sweden. This company was a royal franchise company founded by the Cossacks of the Ming Dynasty. They then founded the city. It was not until fifty years later that the city and the northern territory to which the northern company belonged were handed over to the government.

Zhu Guoqiang is not unfamiliar with this city, and he can even be said to be very familiar with it. Because he knew the past of this city, he even gave Si Yuyu the royal franchise, making the Northern Company a colonial company in the Ming Dynasty. Once upon a time, this company was the largest company in the Ming Dynasty owned a large tract of land in northern Siberia and Russia.

However, the company has long been dissolved now, and even his building, the building located on the banks of the Neva River, has been re-sold repeatedly. Last year, Zhu Guoqiang became the fifth owner of the building.

When walking along the Wet Ti River, Zhu Guoqiang no longer tried to find traces of another world like when he first came here. Apart from this river, it seemed that this city and another city had no overlap.

There are even three Shanghais in the Ming Dynasty in Northern Shanghai, Shanghai is Shanghai by the Huangpu River, and the west is Mumbai, and this city is named Northern Shanghai.

However, this was not named by Zhu Guoqiang. Just like the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty established Qiao Town in the Jianghuai River in history, including the Southern Xuzhou, Nanyuzhou, Nantongzhou and other place names, during the overseas immigration wave of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty were also willing to name the place names of the place names of the place. The place names of the place places of the Ming Dynasty can be seen everywhere in North America, India and South China. In fact, the same is true for Europeans, and everyone has homesickness.

However, Zhu Guoqiang's mood is a bit complicated when he is in this city.

After all, in another time and space, this is the famous St. Petersburg!

Soon, Zhu Guoqiang came to the company building located by the river. Now he is the owner of the building. In the past two years, with some small inventions, he not only gained a considerable amount of wealth, but also became a well-known local entrepreneur. Although there is still a long way to go to become a so-called "chaebol". In fact, that section is not far.

Even, only if he wanted to achieve this goal, even if he could achieve it now, there was oil buried in the lands of Siberia and Alaska that would make him become the most wealthy.

However, he was not interested in fighting against the powerful and powerful people of the Ming Dynasty in that industry. After all, the oil industry has always been a highly monopoly industry for the powerful and powerful people. Compared with oil, Zhu Guoqiang is more willing to engage in emerging industries, and no one will compete with him in these industries.

As usual, when I arrived at the office on the top floor, the secretary was already waiting for him at the elevator entrance.

Natasha, wearing a small lapel short tweed skirt, bowed respectfully when the elevator opened.

"boss."

"Good morning, Natasha, is anyone looking for me today?"

As always, Zhu Guoqiang has always asked this question in the past year.

"Boss, as usual, nothing new."

Natasha answered truthfully.

In fact, even if it was her, she was very curious about who the boss said "the person who looked for him" would be. Since she applied for this job, she has known that the boss is waiting for someone.

"Oh, okay."

Nodding slightly, Zhu Guoqiang walked into the office.

Today is the same as yesterday, and nothing has changed.

Beside the window, Zhu Guoqiang stared at the squirming people and vehicles downstairs. This is the most prosperous commercial area in North Shanghai.

Two years ago, when he first came to this city, he thought this place was just a temporary place to settle down, but who would have thought that he would live here for a long time?

Perhaps, this is the impermanence of the world.

"This year, I must go to Nanjing to have a look this year."

Nanjing!

Perhaps, that city is also his knot!

At least there, he was closer to his family, even though his family had already... Suddenly the phone on the big desk rang, and when he took the phone, he was stunned.

"What? Are you sure? Natasha."

When he put down the phone, Zhu Guoqiang laughed. For two years, he had been waiting for this day, waiting for that person's visit.

Now, he is finally here!

But it seems to be a little late!

Soon, Zhu Guoqiang once again saw the guests he had been waiting for for two years.

Li Cunzhi has been two years since the last time he separated in Moscow.

"Haha, I didn't expect it? I didn't expect it to come to you on my own initiative."

As soon as they met, Li Cunzhi said with a smile.

Zhu Guoqiang smiled:

“It’s indeed a bit unexpected…”

Unexpectedly, it took you too long for two years. Are the powerful and powerful people in the Ming Dynasty so behind? It takes two years to find someone.

"Oh, actually, the real surprise is me. I think you should go find me."

Li Cunzhi said.

"You are a returned overseas Chinese. You just returned to China and don't know anyone. I am the Duke of the Ming Dynasty. Logically, I gave you a business card. I never thought that you didn't go to find me at all. I'm so bad... I have to find you!"

You should have come early, Zhu Guoqiang smiled and didn't say anything.

"Yes, I'm looking for you. I've been looking for you for two years!"

Li Cunzhi looked at this spacious office. Once upon a time, the Li family was also a shareholder of the Northern Company, but that was all in the past.

"But I haven't found you, and I'm even giving up on the hope of finding you, this is not..."

Li Cunzhi put a magazine on the table.

"No, I never thought that this time I went to Moscow and saw your photos in a magazine. Tsk tsk, at the beginning, I just thought that you had a lot of ideas in your mind. Those ideas were magical, but I never thought that you were actually an inventor. Nylon... This was invented by you, this thing is good. I don't mean stockings. Although all men and women like it, for the army, it has a wide range of uses. The parachutes made from it are very light and have better performance. Oh yes, there are radial tires. This kind of tire even fundamentally changed the car. According to the magazine... Well, it started a revolution."

Smiling, Li Cunzhi said.

“It’s the same for the army…”

Looking at Zhu Guoqiang who didn't say much, Li Cunzhi stopped and looked at him.

"You seem...you are not curious about my arrival."

He smiled at Li Cunzhi and said.

"I don't think you'll come to me for no reason."

Li Cunzhi nodded.

“Have you read the newspaper recently?”

Zhu Guoqiang nodded.

"Then you should know that I wanted to build an offensive army plan, which had been miscarried, ten thousand tanks, obviously no one would support this plan, and you also see that the Frank Empire threatened our wars, one day more than one day, I had to consider one thing, maybe, we will have to consider stopping their attack on the ground."

"You wait a moment."

He leaned forward and pressed the switch of the intercom.

"Natasha, please come."

After she came in, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"Natasha, bring our company's "Thunder Case" over."

"Yes, boss."

After Natasha went out, Zhu Guoqiang said.

“For the past two years, I have been funding trials in local university laboratories, a new type of engine, and after long trials, they have begun a new phase of trials. I believe that in the next two years, it will completely change the shape of the aircraft engine.”

"Aircraft engine?"

“Yes, the aircraft engine.”

Zhu Guoqiang nodded.

“It’s a jet engine.”

Two years ago, he accidentally saw information about jet engines in an academic journal in Moscow, so he came to Beihai University in North Shanghai to learn about the research progress. It was precisely for this kind of engine that he stayed here forever.

"Oh, is this engine important?"

Zhu Guoqiang nodded.

“Yes, once it is put into use, all propeller aircraft will be eliminated.”

"In this case, I'll have some interest."

Li Cunzhi said curiously.

Natasha returns a few minutes later. She brings a report.

"Boss, this is a report of the "Thunder Case".

Handing the report to Li Cunzhi, Zhu Guoqiang said,

"Actually, this report is not important. What is important is that we should pay more attention to new technologies."

"Oh? Then what are you taking this report?"

Li Cunzhi asked back.

"The performance of this new engine listed in this report is certainly that it will change the entire aviation industry. I am confident that it will eliminate all aircraft overnight, just like a steam ironclad ship eliminates sailboats."

After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"I noticed that in the past decade, we have not invested much in military affairs, and even our investment in new technologies is not as active as imagined. Europeans have said a long time ago that science is the foundation for us to be ahead of the world. The Duke, what is important is that our technology is daunting. As for the army... I think an advanced and well-trained army is enough to make Frank awe!"
