"Boss Fan, I can see that I have made a fortune recently. Xiao Peng sat there smoking a cigar, looking at Fan Zhong with a nouveau riche face, at least Fan Zhong had changed cars, not the original BMW, but a Tesla models, which was also more than a million cars.

Fan Zhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Boss Xiao, I really want to thank you for the past two years." โ€

Xiao Peng was stunned: "What's the matter with me? You're exaggerating, aren't you?"

Fan Zhong shook his head: "Boss Xiao, do you remember that charity auction?"

Xiao Peng nodded, and Fan Zhong continued: "Everyone saw me talking to you that day, but what happened later became more and more strange in the circle, and countless people were curious about your identity, after all, what happened behind was too amazing, and what would happen in such a deep background would fall." So a lot of people want to check your identity. But that day, in addition to cheering for Miss Fang, you had an exchange with me. But that's enough, Miss Fang is constantly paid, and I have more and more cooperation here, and more people are curious about you and think that I have such a mysterious 'friend' as you. โ€

Fang Qingya was surprised when she heard this: "I said how I have been working so smoothly recently, it turns out that it has something to do with you." โ€

Xiao Peng shrugged: "I don't know that there are these things, I'm just an ordinary person, how can I have so much energy? โ€

Fang Qingya pursed her lips after hearing this, and didn't speak, Fan Zhong felt that it was too bad for Xiao Peng to pretend to be like this, so he quickly changed the topic: "Boss Xiao, why are you here?

Xiao Peng waved his hand: "Actually, it's really a coincidence, my car ran out of gas, and I wanted to come in to refuel, but it turned out to be just in time for you to be filming." โ€

After hearing this, Fan Zhong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, this car is really too difficult to handle without gas." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "So you bought a Tesla, how about this car?" Tesla is a pure electric vehicle brand, but there is really no need to refuel. This new company, which has been in existence for less than 20 years, is known as the Apple of the automotive industry.

When the man mentions the car, he will definitely be interested, Fan Zhongxing hurriedly introduced: "This car is actually really good, full of science and technology, I have a charging pile at home, but it is still inconvenient to run long distances, I am sent to the car this time to support and can't drive him out, but fortunately, now there are more super charging stations in Tesla, which is not too troublesome." However, there is also a problem with this car, that is, the energy consumption is too high when it is below zero. The winter in our north is too difficult. Well, it also adheres to the consistent characteristics of the Mi country car, that is, the materials are real, but they are sloppy. The details are rough, and there are a lot of small problems that people are too lazy to fix, such as voice recognition function failure, cab floor bulging, speaker interference sound, loose sealing strip and other small problems. Overall, though, the car is not bad. โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "It is worthy of a car named after Tesla, if you dare to name it, you must have two brushes in your hands." โ€

When Fang Qingya heard Xiao Peng's words, she asked puzzledly, "Who is Tesla?"

Xiao Peng was stunned: "Fang Qingya, you're not teasing me, are you?"

Fang Qingya shook her head: "I really don't know, I haven't heard of this person." โ€

Xiao Peng was speechless: "I don't have to read more books in the future, don't be a joke for those illiterate stars, remember, Tesla is one of the most like traversers in history." It can be said that without him, there would be no world today. โ€

Fang Qingya's eyes widened: "Is it so exaggerated?"

Xiao Peng nodded and said: "It's really that exaggerated, Tesla's full name is Nikola Tesla, a Serbian Chinese, he invented the alternating current power system more than a hundred years ago, when most people were still using it, and the emergence of alternating current directly brought mankind into the second industrial revolution, which is the merit of Nicholas Tesla." โ€

Fang Qingya shook her head and said, "No, no, we learned it when we were in school, and Thomas Edison was the father of the electrical age." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "No, it's Tesla, most people think of Edison and think that guy invented the light bulb." But the truth of the matter is that the light bulb was not invented by Edison, he was just the first person to mass-produce and sell the light bulb after seriously summarizing and improving the 22 kinds of light bulbs made by his predecessors. In fact, in the early days of Edison's career, Stella worked for Edison, and Edison promised to pay him the equivalent of one million meters of gold today, so that Tesla could solve some DC generator and motor problems. When Tesla repaired Edison's machine and asked Edison for money, Edison said to Stella, 'Stella, you don't understand American humor', Edison was neither a scientist nor a mathematician, he was the one who paid them to hire him, well, in today's parlance, he was just a CEO. โ€

"But a lot of things were invented by Edison now. Fang Qingya asked.

Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile: "Tesla is famous for often discovering awesome things and then never knowing how to record them, while Edison is famous for running to the patent office as soon as his scientists make new discoveries, and now almost none of the invention patents under his name were invented by him." โ€

Fang Qingya asked curiously, "What about next?"

Xiao Peng took out a cigar box, took out a cigar and handed it to Fan Zhong, and lit one himself, and after pretending to be full of Fan, the other party Qingya said: "After Stella and Edison had a falling out, he concentrated on his own alternating current system, which made Edison very unhappy, because he was selling his direct current system to the world at that time. The difference between the two is obvious, and the DC system requires a power station for every square mile, because the losses in the DC transmission process are too large and the transmission distance is limited. However, the wire of alternating current is thinner, the voltage is higher, the transmission loss is also small, and the transmission distance is also long. The difference between the two is obvious. โ€

"Isn't this inevitable failure Edison?" Fang Qingya said.

Xiao Peng shook his head: "What Edison is really powerful about his viciousness when he suppresses his competitors! He paid nearby students to help him catch live puppies and kittens, and then showed how to kill puppies and kittens with alternating current in front of the public, so that the public could believe that alternating current is very dangerous!"

Fang Qingya said: "Then it can't be said that he is the most like a traverser, it's just that the effect of alternating current is too wide." โ€

Xiao Peng sighed and said, "Have you ever heard of Marconi? He was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1909 because he invented the radio. In fact, Marconi's achievements were based on the research done earlier by Tesla. When Marconi civilized the world, Tesla said, 'Marconi is a good guy, let him continue to use my seventeen patents.'" Tesla is arguably the most generous inventor, and there is no one. โ€

"Do you know radar? In 1935, it was invented by British scientist Robert Watson Watt, but in 1917, Tesla came up with this idea and directly ceded it to the US Navy, 18 years earlier than Watt!" Xiao Peng said.

Fang Qingya said disdainfully: "He has an idea and doesn't invent it, isn't it for nothing?"

Xiao Peng explained: "At that time, the head of the Naval R&D Center was Thomas Edison, and he persuaded the people in the R&D Center that radar was an impractical technology. In fact, there are many more such examples. โ€

"And?"

Xiao Peng smiled: "Of course, for example, as we all know, the discoverer of X-rays is William Conrad Helen, but in fact, Tesla has long discovered X-rays, and when X-rays were discovered, they were considered to be able to treat blindness and some other diseases. However, Edison, as an old enemy, of course, would not let go of this great opportunity, so he himself began to do X-ray medical experiments, and his assistant Daley, because he was exposed to excessive radiation, finally had to amputate his arm to save his life, but finally died of lung mediastinal cancer. So Daley was the first Mi to die of radiation in a scientific experiment. Edison was also nearly blind due to long-term exposure to radiation, so Edison never dared to approach X-rays again. โ€

Fan Zhong, who was listening with relish on the side, couldn't help but interject: "This girl is a fool!"

Xiao Peng crossed his fingers and continued: "Do you know who built the first hydroelectric power station and used the Nicaraguan waterfall to prove to the world that hydroelectric power is a reliable source of energy? It was Tesla! Who started experimenting with cryogenic engineering half a century before it was invented? Who was Tesla! Who held the patent for the transistor more than a hundred years ago? Tesla! Who was the first person to record the reception of radio waves from outer space? Who built an oscillator that could produce an artificial earthquake and almost flattened New York? Who invented the remote control? Who invented the neon sign? Who invented the electric motor today? Who invented radio communication? Including the idea of wireless charging technology used today, in fact, Tesla put forward it more than 100 years ago. Oh, and ball lightning, ball lightning is a form of lightning, spherical or similar to spherical, can be suspended in the air or move at low altitude, "The Three-Body Problem" author Liu Cixin once wrote a science fiction "ball lightning" based on this natural phenomenon, but this phenomenon is extremely rare! I know that today, no scientist has successfully created ball lightning in the laboratory------- except for Tesla, who succeeded once in 1890! Even the recently confirmed fact that the Earth has a resonant frequency was actually a crazy genius idea proposed by Tesla in the 1890s. โ€

At this time, even Fan Zhong couldn't help but praise: "This Tesla is really a genius." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Anyone who can speak the eight Chinese dialects and never forget them, and who has lived for eighty-six years to invent and create, is a genius." โ€

Fang Qingya asked curiously, "Then what are Tesla's descendants doing now?"

Xiao Peng shook his head with a smile: "Tesla lived for 86 years and never married. You think, Tesla is two meters tall and handsome, and he is very popular among girls, but he has never accepted any dates because he thinks it will affect his work. โ€

Fang Qingya asked a question that she was very curious about: "Is the company that produces Tesla cars established by Tesla?" Hearing her question, Fan Zhong also looked at Xiao Peng with doubts.

Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head: "It's a pity, it's not." Many people think that Tesla has a smart brain, and if he invents so much, he will definitely be rich, but unfortunately, everyone is wrong, before Tesla died, it was already bankrupt, he died in a hotel room, a few days before he died, just living on milk and cookies. Because in those days, what people needed was technology to improve production, increase efficiency, and create wealth, and what they needed was light bulbs and toaster stoves. But Tesla's contribution is a qualitative leap and revolutionary, and when something that transcends the era suddenly appears, people can only evaluate him in three words: 'Neurotic'! Do you think that everyone is like traveling back to ancient times, and you can make a fortune by researching guns and explosives? If that were the case, people would have been killed directly! The reason is too simple: Evil is rampant, damn! Uncontrollable, damn!

Fang Qingya sighed: "There are really such strange people, after hearing you say this, I really feel that this Tesla is like a traverser." โ€

Xiao Peng smiled: "In fact, there are more such people in the long history." Leonardo da Vinci, Wang Mang, Liu Xiu, their stories can be regarded as time-traveling characters. โ€

Fang Qingya blinked her big eyes after hearing this: "Actually, according to what you said, I think you are also like a traversal character, I think when I first met you, you were still practicing the stall, now it's good." Look at how chic you live your life than anyone else. โ€

Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders: "What's chic, isn't it the same to refuel when you run out of gas." Besides, look at me running around every day, it's a lot harder than you. โ€

Fan Zhong smiled: "Boss Xiao, what you are running around to do is a big business, by the way, Boss Xiao, I really don't know what you do?"

Xiao Peng didn't speak, Fang Qingya answered directly for Xiao Peng: "He's a farmer, just a fish farmer." โ€

Fan Zhong listened to Fang Qingya's words, and said with a smile: "Fang Qingya, I just said two words to you, you don't have to tease me like this, right? Boss Xiao is a talent, you say he is a farmer, do you think I will believe it?"

Fang Qingya's face was speechless, how could no one believe the truth?

Fan Zhong looked at Xiao Peng, hoping to get an answer from Xiao Peng's mouth.

Xiao Peng nodded: "Boss Fan, in fact, what I want to say is that Fang Qingya is really right, I am really a fish farmer and opened a small fishing farm." Although I have a side hustle and do some other small businesses, my main business is indeed a fisherman. โ€

Fan Zhong frowned slightly: "Then I don't know Boss Xiao, what is your side business?"

"Oh, I opened a hotel, just got five stars, and opened a small company, but it's just a decoration. "Xiao Peng didn't lie, his salvage company is just a decoration.

However, after hearing this, Fan Zhong had already run over with 10,000 grass and mud horses in his head, what the hell? Now that you can open a five-star hotel in a fishing ground, is it so profitable to open a fishing ground?
