Feeling the shock of Internet jargon

Styler is an Italy who has done business in the United Kingdom for many years, but his ancestors were from Bourges, France, and he always longed to return to Bourges, making him a typical France in spirit.

Bayei and he had been close friends for many years. Knowing his outstanding business acumen, Baie suggested that he be entrusted with the task of bidding for the London Gas Streetlight.

Mayor Mordaunt raised his glass, smiled, and said, "I will discuss your company's contracting of the project with MP Mordaunt as soon as possible."

"Thank you so much!"

After the salon ended, Styler reported the day's events to his valet in the Carriage, who immediately praised him highly, "You have done an excellent job, Mr. Styler. We are now 'ahead' of all the United Kingdom companies here at London City Hall."

"Next, it's time to see your 'live demonstration'."

This valet was none other than Captain Delaunay from the French Intelligence Bureau, who was in charge of the "Gas Lamp Project".

Styler said confidently, "Please rest assured, I have made ample preparations. Your novel presentation method will surely impress those congressmen."

Delaunay laughed and waved his hand, "I don't know anything about exhibitions. That was invented by a big shot."

The important person he was referring to was, of course, His Crown Prince.

Joseph knew that bribery alone wouldn't be enough to secure the entire London Gas Streetlight project; the scale was too large, and overwhelming power was necessary to silence all dissent. Therefore, he had the Lightning Company arrange a business presentation that would have been impossible in the 18th century.

Three days later.

Baron Mordaunt, a member of the House of Lords United Kingdom, led a group of members of parliament and a large number of experts and scholars down the red carpet and, under the attentive guidance of Styler, entered the gates of Lightning Coal Company.

Mordaunt entered the gate, they were startled. Before them stood a massive boulder, taller than a person, its sides chiseled flat, upon which were carved elegant Rome script characters—

Lightning Coal Company Culture: Dreams Know No Boundaries, Exploration Never Ends, Miracles Are Created!

Driven by innovation, constantly pushing our own limits, and igniting the flames of technology with the sparks of innovation...

Pursuing excellence, paying attention to every detail, and creating first-class products that exceed user expectations...

Strive for excellence, overcome difficulties, and with unwavering faith and hard work, become the best company...

These clichés, which would be completely ignored in the 21st century, were considered incredibly sophisticated by Mordaunt —people in the 18th century had never seen anything like them—the inspiring slogans and forward-thinking ideas completely captivated them.

Then, Mordaunt gestured to his Servant to put shoe covers on the councilors and others, and said apologetically, "Gentlemen, please forgive us, but the company has very sophisticated equipment, and to prevent dust from affecting it, shoe covers are necessary."

The group followed him into the company premises, where it was spotless, the walls were covered with various documents and charts, and more than 300 employees were bustling about, with someone frequently shouting, "Efficiency! Always be efficient!"

"David, the data I need must be submitted within 3 minutes!"

"The precision can be improved further. I only want the best product!"

The visiting councilors were completely taken aback.

Styler led them into a very spacious Hall, where in the center of the room stood a cylindrical "iron bucket," taller than two people, gleaming with a metallic sheen, and connected to numerous pipes and instruments.

Before Mordaunt could ask a question, Styler began to explain loudly, "Everyone, please look, this is our company's latest Coal Distillation Equipment. Of course, this is just a prototype; the actual one used in production will be much larger."

Styler gave his assistant a wink, who immediately led his men to put coal into the "iron bucket" and then lit a fire in the furnace below.

Soon, pale yellow smoke began to billow out from the Glass on top of the iron shovel.

"Our Machines are 20% more efficient than those used by the France in Paris," Styler said, pointing to a tall wooden board next to him, covered with comparative data. "You see, from furnace temperature to distillation speed to raw material consumption, our technology is comprehensively superior."

"This coal will undergo dry distillation here, releasing a large amount of Coal Gas, which will then pass through these pipes into up to 18 stages of filtration and decomposition equipment. Oh, right here..."

He spoke with great enthusiasm and passion, throwing in a barrage of technical jargon. Not Mordaunt senators, but even the scholars who accompanied him were completely bewildered, yet dared not voice any objections. After all, this was cutting-edge technology, and it was perfectly normal for them not to understand it.

Even if they ask, Styler has a way to deal with it: just bombard them with more technical jargon and data until they shut up.

Of course, this so-called "prototype of distillation equipment" was just a model made of Sheet Metal, and it was far from the actual coal distillation technology that could be used.

However, thanks to the Craftsman's meticulous work, its exquisite appearance and high-tech feel, along with its ability to be ignited for demonstration, make it perfectly capable of impressing people. The actual cost is less than 1,000 Franc.

Styler instructed his assistant to distribute beautifully printed brochures to the visitors, "Our company has invested Pound Sterling 30,000 in developing this technology. This brochure clearly shows that all its performance characteristics are world-class!"

"Next, we'll visit another of the company's cutting-edge technologies— the Coal Crusher."

After viewing the Coal Crusher model, we went to see the Gas Scrubber model, and then the Separator model...

As the lawmakers held thick stacks of promotional brochures, their minds filled with awe at the cutting-edge technology, Styler began to talk about the company's "analysis-design-test-integration-iteration" spiral development methodology.

This whole thing is pure concept, all abstract and abstract. It guarantees that every sentence makes sense, but after you listen to it, you won't remember anything.

After all, this is the standard R&D model for later generations, so it must make sense. But Joseph only needs to remove a few of the most critical nodes, and it immediately becomes a book of incomprehensible text.

Finally, Styler erected colorful display boards in the Conference Hall and passionately described the company's future vision for the Gas Streetlight project, as well as its "sustainable" Development Plan.

A few hours later, a group of the United Kingdom MPs and experts walked out of Lightning Coal Company, their minds filled with beautiful pictures and all sorts of novel terms. They felt that this company was the most technologically advanced and had the best products in all of Europe.

Mordaunt was already certain that if Lightning Coal Company were to undertake the Gas Lamp project in London, they would be able to create a more refined and magnificent city image Paris.

He himself, who spearheaded the project, would also reap huge political benefits; he had even come up with a propaganda slogan—"Father of London Streetlights."

It's not impossible that he might even try for the Prime Minister ministership.
