Immortality in England

Britain, France, and every single European country—not one of them is not a robber. They steal from those with little money, from capitalists with a lot of money. Some steal secretly, while others steal openly.

To be honest, I feel that in that era, the protagonist probably died a really tragic death. Capitalists are even kind to their own people, let alone the backward people of the Qing Dynasty. Even the DuPont family would hire their competitors to build homemade planes, and you...

The protagonist is too selfish and has virtually no allies. He earns tens of thousands of pounds a month, which adds up to hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, equivalent to millions of taels of silver in profit. The profits are so huge that even powerful families don't need to lift a finger; they can simply use the government to deal with the protagonist and his few hundred people.

Why did the Eight-Nation Alliance invade Beijing? Of course, they looted! Why wasn't the main character looted?

Why call it Chanel? Most luxury brands abroad are named after their founders' surnames. The main character could be named after his surname or something else; it sounds a bit awkward.

This is too much of a wish-fulfillment story, too simplistic. In 1890s Britain, if a Chinese person wanted to become powerful, sorry, the capitalists would devour you alive.

To be honest, I can't understand how a Chinese person could succeed in Britain. Given the racial discrimination and the historical context, the formula would probably have been sunk to the bottom of the sea the very next day.

Another author unfamiliar with historical currency. What did £2 million mean at the end of the 19th century? Even the richest man in the world at that time only had a net worth of around £1 million. Britain's fiscal revenue was just over £300 million. One pound was equivalent to about 800 RMB today. This basic historical knowledge is essential; a criminal organization with that much money would have laundered it long ago.

You, a laborer without even a proper job, want to apply for a patent, and you're even making perfume? ... Heh...

You're probably joking about writing about a Chinese laborer; no country allows a foreigner to poop on its head. A foreigner with so much influence... They could raise you to be healthy and plump and then slaughter you. Can the protagonist fight against an army? Actually, it's entirely possible to make the protagonist a native. This is a matter of principle.
