Chapter 702
Chapter 702:
“What’s your plan next?” This is what Darcy asked when he came to his house at the invitation of his friend Darcy.
“I’m working on inventions recently.” Chen Muyang said indifferently.
“Invention? You, a theology graduate, want to invent!?” Bingley couldn’t believe his ears.
Darcy asked, “How did you think of inventing it?”
Chen Muyang said: “A few days ago, Earl Holtman died because of lung disease caused by smoking. Obviously, tobacco contains harmful ingredients. I was thinking, if these harmful ingredients can be stopped before the entrance of the smoke, will it be possible? Makes people less likely to get sick and die from smoking.”
The eyes of the two lit up and said, “This is really a good research direction. Is there any result?”
Chapter 749 The Perfect Man Edmund
Chen Muyang shrugged and said, “How could it be so fast, but I already have some clues.”
“That’s good, I hope you can succeed.” Bentley blessed.
More than 20 days later, Chen Muyang’s first filter cigarette was successfully developed. The filter was made of crepe paper and cotton.
Chen Muyang immediately applied for a patent, registered a trademark, created a brand, bought land to build a factory, and recruited workers to produce.
Because it is handmade, the production is limited, and the price is much more expensive than ordinary want.
Even so, after the introduction of this filter cigarette, it was welcomed by the nobles and gentry.
Smoking is no longer full of shredded tobacco and smoke, and the taste is better and mellow, and the aroma is also very soft.
Smokers feel very uncomfortable when they smoke cigarettes without filters after smoking three or five brands of cigarettes.
Therefore, even if the price is higher than that of ordinary cigarettes, there are still many buyers, and there is even a shortage of supply.
Darcy and Bentley admired their friends after seeing the popularity of filter cigarettes. It is foreseeable that this factory will bring huge profits to Edmund.
But they soon learned that Edmund was inventing a steam machine that would mass-produce filter cigarettes.
This time, they remained skeptical.
Mainly, the invention of filter cigarettes does not require any mechanical knowledge, but the machinery is completely different.
You, a literature major, want to invent machinery, don’t make fun of me.
But half a year later, Darcy and Bentley were invited to Chen Muyang’s factory, and they watched in amazement as a large number of cigarettes were produced amid the roar of machinery.
Although the sales price has been reduced a lot after mass production, Chen Muyang has still made huge profits due to the large volume of shipments.
Cigarettes were quickly sold all over the country and even exported to Europe!
The huge profits made many nobles and businessmen jealous, and they came to Chen Muyang to discuss cooperation.
Chen Muyang granted the right to use the patent to three nobles and two big businessmen. The six formed an interest alliance, which was enough to deal with pressure from all sides.
At the end of the year, Chen Muyang summed up the gains of the past year and a half and found that he was worth nearly 300,000 pounds!
What is the concept of 300,000 pounds in this era?
Just this feel is so cool!
Chen Muyang has secretly asked people to find the Netherfield Garden and bought it. At this time, there is still half a year before the plot begins.
It can’t be too late, otherwise no one knows what will happen.
Just when Chen Muyang was heading to the Netherfield Garden in a carriage, the host and the hostess of a small country gentleman near the manor and their five daughters were also talking about Chen Muyang.
The eldest daughter, Jenny, has blond hair, a beautiful appearance, and is beautiful.
The second daughter, Elizabeth, a college student, looks no worse than her sister, and likes to read. The so-called belly has poetry and literature, and her temperament is better than that of her sister.
The third daughter, Mary, likes music. Although she is not as beautiful as the two older sisters, she is also fresh and lovely.
The fourth daughter, Kady, has the best relationship with her younger sister Lydia.
The fifth daughter, Lydia, loves vanity, is innocent and reckless, and belongs to the kind who dares to speak and act.
Of these five girls, Lydia is the best to attack, and she can be quickly taken down by taking advantage of her vanity-loving weakness.
The most difficult strategy is Elizabeth. This girl is highly educated and has her own opinions.
At this point, the five of them were talking to their parents about the man who bought the Netherfield estate.
“During the renovation of the manor, I went to inquire about the new owner of Netherfield Manor and got a lot of interesting news,” said Mr. Bennett.
“Don’t give a shit, Mr. Bennett,” urged his wife, Mrs. Bennett, eagerly.
She is more anxious than her husband about the marriage of her five daughters.
“It is said that the new owner is a noble viscount.” Mrs. Bennett and his five daughters were immediately boiled by Mr. Bennett’s words.
In this era, the class differentiation of the country was very obvious. The royal family, nobles, squires, citizens and workers and peasants ruled the society and therefore had extraordinary influence on the society.
A wealthy young noble viscount with an extraordinary allure to five girls who are the daughters of a small squire. If you can marry that person, you can become a viscountess, a member of the high society aristocracy!
Even Elizabeth, a young woman with strong self-esteem and a progressive culture, could not help but be moved by it.
Mrs. Bennet hurriedly said, “Master Bennett, keep talking.”
“This Viscount’s name is Edmund Guterres, a graduate of Oxford University.”
Elizabeth was overjoyed. She was also a college student. It seemed that she and she should have a common language.
“In the summer of the millennium, he was still quite down, but one day he suddenly made a change. After mortgaged the property to the bank, he bought a boat to greet the sailors to go out to sea, because he had a treasure map of pirates, and he was going to find the treasure.”
“Looks like he’s found it!” cried Mrs Bennet. If he didn’t find it, how could he have the money to buy such a wonderful estate as Netherfield Gardens.
“Yes, he came back a little over a month later with great treasure, sold it to the bank and redeemed the house.”
What a brave man, Jenny thought.
“But Mr. Edmund didn’t stop there, thinking that the noble earl died of lung disease caused by smoking, so he thought hard and invented a filter cigarette.”
“Father, is that the three or five cigarettes you smoke now?” Lydia asked.
“Yes, this kind of cigarette is very popular, but the production efficiency is low, so the price is high. Mr. Edmund spent another half a year inventing a steam engine-driven machine for making filter-tipped cigarettes, which can be mass-produced. This has brought him huge profits. It is said that he earns more than fifteen thousand pounds a month!”
“Oh, my God!”
“Fifteen thousand pounds a month is unbelievable!”
“How rich that must be.”
