"Next, what are your plans?" This was asked by Darcy when he was a guest at his friend Darcy's invitation.
"I'm doing invention recently." Chen Muyang said indifferently.
"Invention? You, a theology graduate, want to invent!?" Bentley couldn't believe his ears.
Darcy asked: "How come you want to invent?"
Chen Muyang said: "Earl Holtman died a few days ago because of a lung disease caused by smoking. Obviously, tobacco contains harmful ingredients. I wonder if these harmful ingredients can be blocked before the smoke entrance. It’s not so easy for people to die from smoking."
The two people's eyes lit up and said, "This is really a very good research direction. Are there any results?"
Chapter 749 The Perfect Man Edmund
Chen Muyang shrugged and said, "How can 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 crumpled paper and cotton.
Chen Muyang applied for a patent in the first time, registered a trademark, created a brand, bought land to build a factory, and recruited workers for production.
Because it is handmade, the output is limited, and the price is much more expensive than normal.
Even so, after the introduction of this filter cigarette, it was still welcomed by the nobles and gentry.
Smoking no longer makes the mouth full of shredded tobacco and smoke, and the taste is better and mellow, and the aroma is also very soft.
After smoking three or five brands of cigarettes, smokers feel very uncomfortable when they smoke cigarettes without filters.
Therefore, even if the price is more expensive than ordinary cigarettes, there are still many buyers, and even the supply exceeds demand.
After seeing the hot sales of filter cigarettes, Darcy and Bentley admired their friends very much. It can be foreseen that this factory will bring huge profits to Edmund.
But soon they knew that Edmund was inventing a steam machine that could manufacture filter cigarettes in batches.
This time, they are still skeptical.
Mainly, the invention of filter cigarettes does not require any mechanical knowledge, but the machinery is completely different.
You, a literary graduate, want to invent machinery, so stop teasing me.
But half a year later, Darcy and Bentley were invited to Chen Muyang's factory, and they were dumbfounded to watch the roar of machinery, a large number of cigarettes were produced.
Although the sales price was reduced a lot after mass production was possible, Chen Muyang still made extremely lucrative profits because of the large shipments.
Cigarettes were soon 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 big nobles and two big businessmen. The six companies formed an interest alliance, which was sufficient to deal with pressure from all sides.
At the end of the year, Chen Muyang summed up the gains of the year and a half and found that he already had a worth of nearly 300,000 pounds!
What is the concept of 300,000 pounds in this era?
This feels better!
Chen Muyang has secretly found the Nigerfeld Garden and purchased it. There is still half a year before the plot begins.
It can't be too late, otherwise no one knows what changes will happen.
Just as Chen Muyang was heading to the Nigerfeld Garden in a carriage, a small squire's house near the manor, the host and their five daughters were also talking about Chen Muyang.
The eldest daughter, Jenny, has blond hair, a beautiful face, and a lovely face.
The second daughter Elizabeth, a college student, looks no worse than her sister, and likes to read books.The so-called abdomen has poems and books, and she has a better temperament than her sister.
The third daughter, Mary, likes music. Although not as beautiful as her two sisters, she is also fresh and lovely.
The fourth daughter, Caddy, has the best relationship with his sister Lydia, almost inseparable, and almost obedient to her.
The fifth daughter, Lydia, loves vanity, has a naive and reckless personality, she belongs to the kind who dare to speak and do.
The best strategy for these five girls is Lydia, who can quickly take her down by taking advantage of her weakness of admiring vanity.
The worst strategy is Elizabeth. This girl is highly educated and has her own opinions.
At this time, the five of them were talking with their parents about the person who bought the Netherfield Manor.
"During the time when the manor was being renovated, I went to inquire about the new owner of the Netherfield Manor and got a lot of interesting news." Mr. Bennett said.
"Stop selling it off, Master Bennet." His wife, Mrs. Bennet, urged eagerly.
She is more anxious about the marriage of her five daughters than her husband.
"It is said that the new owner is a noble viscount." Mr. Bennett's words immediately made Madame Bennett and his five daughters boiling.
In this era, the class division of Ying country is very obvious. The royal family, aristocrats, squires, citizens, workers and peasants, the royal family and aristocrats rule the society, so they have extraordinary influence on the society.
A rich young noble viscount has an extraordinary allure to the five girls who are the daughters of the little squire.If you can marry that person, you can become a viscountess and a member of the upper class nobles!
Even Elizabeth, a young woman with strong self-esteem and a gradual culture, couldn't help but be moved.
Mrs. Bennett quickly said, "Master Bennett, keep talking."
"The viscount is named Edmund Guterres and graduated from Oxford University."
Elizabeth was delighted that she was also a college student, and she seemed to have a common language with herself.
"In the summer of the millennium, he was still quite downhearted, 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 pirate treasure map and he was going to find the treasure."
"Looks like he found it!" Mrs. Bennet cried. If she didn't find it, how could she have the money to buy such a wonderful manor in Nigerfeld Garden.
"Yes, more than a month later he came back with rich treasures, sold it to the bank and redeemed the house."
What a brave man, Jenny said to her heart.
"But Mr. Edmund did not stop because of this, thinking that the noble earl died of lung disease due to smoking, so he thought hard and invented a filter cigarette."
"Father, is it the three to five cigarettes you smoke now?" Lydia asked.
"Yes, this kind of cigarettes is very popular, but the production efficiency is low, so the price is high. Mr. Edmund spent half a year inventing a steam engine-driven machine specially for making filter cigarettes, which can be mass-produced. This has brought him huge profits. It is said that his monthly income exceeds 15,000 pounds!"
"Oh my God!"
"Fifteen thousand pounds a month, it's incredible!"
"That's how rich it is."
