Chapter 554 Visiting the Factory
Chapter 554 Visiting the Factory
Therefore, those people who originally looked down on Prince Xiao Suo for personally doing this business also changed their attitudes in their hearts at this time.
It can be said that in this era, the honor and disgrace of a family and an individual all come from the top. If there is any movement from the top, the people below will surely follow suit.
As rumored recently, Prime Minister Holmes has been authorized by King Moss XIII and Huidun to thoroughly investigate a case of embezzlement of disaster relief supplies in the Dukedom of Griffin.
After hearing the news, those who had previously tried to curry favor with the Duke's Mansion immediately severed ties with the Duke's Mansion.
Everyone could see that Moss XIII and Huidun had become tired of the Duke and wanted to cause trouble for him.
Of course, no one would have thought that Moss XIII and his men were not just trying to fool Griffin, but more importantly, they wanted to use this case to directly eliminate one of the only two dukes in the kingdom.
Huidun walked down from the carriage holding Vivienne's hand.
"Uncle Wang."
"Your Majesty."
When Xiao Suo saw Vivienne coming, the smile on his face never stopped.
"Come on, come on. You two are here today, which is a huge honor for me, Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang, I promise you that I will run this cement factory with all my heart."
Hearing Xiao Suo's words, Hui Dun raised his eyebrows.
It is obvious that his uncle Wang is not a useless person who just eats and waits for death as the outside world imagines.
What he said was actually telling Huidun that he was a staunch supporter of Huidun, and at the same time, as the first attempt of Huidun City's emerging industry to expand overseas, he would resolutely fulfill his own responsibilities.
At the same time, he was also telling Huidun that he had no intention of engaging in power struggles. If Huidun and the others really wanted to attack the Duke's Mansion, he, Prince Xiaosuo, would not take his father-in-law's feelings into consideration and come out to cheer for the Duke's Mansion.
Back then, Xiao Suo used his wisdom to push Moss XIII onto the throne, and in return he had a life of luxury in his previous life.
And now he is the first one to stand up and support Huidun. Huidun really admires his uncle Wang at this moment.
What about Homeis, what about Moss XIII? Huidun felt that the wisest person in the entire kingdom was the uncle in front of him.
"Let's go, Uncle Wang will take you there personally."
At this time, Xiao Suo said to Vivien beside Huidun with a smile.
When Vivienne heard Xiao Suo's self-introduction, she knew that this meant Xiao Suo acknowledged her as his niece-in-law.
"Let's go. Let's not block the road here. Today is Uncle Wang's important day. Let's follow Uncle Wang in."
After arranging everything for Huidun and his wife, Xiao Suo returned to the gate.
At this time, the housekeeper's confidant ran over hurriedly. After seeing Xiao Suo, the confidant immediately reported to him the news that the princess was coming.
Xiao Suo frowned when he heard this. He didn't expect the princess to come here.
Thinking that all the celebrities from the capital would be present soon, if his princess caused any trouble, it would not be a grand opening ceremony, but a disgraceful one.
After thinking about it, Xiao Suo finally called his confidant and asked him to take a group of people to stop the princess's carriage halfway.
"Remember, the princess must not be allowed to come here."
The confidant was thinking, I didn't hear it wrong, you can't do anything to the princess, and I'm just a servant, how can I stop the princess's carriage.
However, seeing Xiao Suo's anxious expression, this confidant didn't dare to say anything more.
And if this confidant had read Journey to the West, he would know that this scene is very similar to the one where the Nine-Headed Insect asked Benboerba to deal with Tang Monk and his disciples.
It turns out that he really thinks highly of these little minions.
After his confidant left, Prince Xiao Suo also frowned.
Just when he was worried, the person in charge of the ceremony came to report:
"Your Highness, the people are almost here, and the time is almost up. Look at this..."
Xiao Suo waved his hand and said:
"I'll be right away."
At this time, the factory hall was already filled with various celebrities invited by Xiao Suo, with Hui Dun and Vivienne standing at the front.
In the hall, Xiao Suo specially had a platform built with a red ribbon tied into a flower shape tied to the pillars at both ends. There was also a table on the platform with a few pairs of scissors on it.
Obviously, this was the ribbon-cutting ceremony that Chen Cheng would hold for every store opening in his previous life.
But this is still a new thing for the people in this world.
Huidun was explaining the ribbon-cutting ceremony to Vivienne in the audience. He had also held a ribbon-cutting ceremony when Huidun Bank and the Stock Exchange opened.
Xiao Suo walked up from behind the stage, holding a magic loudspeaker bought from the Sto Chamber of Commerce.
Then there were some congratulatory speeches and then the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Of course, Xiao Suo was not the only one to cut the ribbon. He also invited Hui Dun, Vivienne and several respected old nobles.
After completing the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xiao Suo took everyone to visit his cement factory.
This is not a small factory, but a large factory integrating material selection, calcination, finished products and testing.
In addition, the factory building has been redesigned to reduce dust as much as possible.
Listening to Xiao Suo's introduction to the cement process, although many people did not understand, it was better for them to make gestures to show that they understood.
Huidun followed Xiao Suo and really listened, and asked questions from time to time.
After all, this is also the first step in the development of Huidun City's physical industry, so he still needs to ask about the details.
Once they arrived at the testing ground, these celebrities were no longer listening to nonsense.
Although they don't understand the production principles of cement, they all know that cement is something that turns into stone after being poured with water and dried. To test whether a stone is good or not, one naturally has to see whether it is strong or not.
Although many people have heard of the miraculous changes of cement, they are still amazed when they actually see the houses and walls built with dried cement at the test site.
Several people also tried it out themselves and found that the cement, sand and stones were extremely hard after they dried.
"From now on, with this cement, building houses and city walls will no longer be a difficult task."
One of the old nobles who went on stage to cut the ribbon couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the concrete buildings on the test site.
At this moment, a voice with some sourness rang out.
"Of course this isn't a difficult task. A prince like me has come here to do business personally. How could I possibly sell you defective goods?"
When everyone looked back, they saw the princess, dressed gorgeously but not seductively, walking towards them.
Besides the maids and servants, there was also a boy with a slap mark on his face.
When the celebrities present saw that it was the princess, even those of lower status had to bow.
After all, the princess' temper was well-known throughout the capital, and they didn't want to annoy her because of some etiquette issues.
