In 1844, the American Morse invented the telegraph.

Since then, businessmen have been no worse than the Internet today, if not more so than the Internet today.

In 1850, just six years after the invention of the telegraph, an undersea cable was laid from England to France across the English Channel, which was 60 meters shallow and 172 meters deep. It was around that time that Field embarked on a crazy plan to invest in the construction of an undersea telegraph line across the Atlantic from London to New York, passing through the Canadian island of Newfoundland on the way.

This is much crazier than what Chen Zier, Sun Yaguan and Liang Shengjun discussed.

The first cable to be laid cannot be connected section by section, it must be a whole one, and the required length is about 4,000 kilometers.

Secondly, anyone with a basic knowledge of electricity knows how large the resistance will be after 4,000 kilometers of copper, even with copper with relatively small resistance? Because of the underdevelopment of electricity, even the most advanced scientists could not answer him: 'Even if the construction is successful, how much current is left at this end?'

Speechless, huh? But he still decided to do it. And unfortunately, in the end, it really failed because of this problem, that is, it was paved, the celebration was completed, the President of the United States, and the Queen of England congratulated, but then found that it didn't work. The resistance is too big, the current is too small, the words on those earliest telegrams...... It's simply guessed by a weak current signal.

What's even more exaggerated is that people at that time didn't know what the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean was, and modern technology measured that the Atlantic Ocean was about 3,000 meters deep to 4,000 meters, but no one knew at that time that the English Channel was only a few tens of meters, more than a hundred meters, how big a gap?

The most disgusting thing is ...... 4,000 kilometers of cables, and it must be a whole cable, is there a ship that can fit it? Fidel still doesn't know.

It was under such circumstances that Field, who had a successful business at the age of 30 and mixed with American high society and felt that the money was too easy to make and life was boring, started working......

4,000 kilometers of cables, a whole one, so while producing and loading borrowed and modified warships, this thing alone was produced for a year.

In 1857, the official start of the paving, for the first time, the cable broke...... Disappear into the dark Atlantic Ocean floor...... Something that must not be broken, but it was broken within a few days of drying, and it is estimated that everyone was stunned at that time, what can I do?

Well, it took another year to go back, and in 1858, a second 4000 km cable was produced, and the second, to dry...... As a result, there was a great storm......

It's okay, another year, and dragged 4000 kilometers to come, this time the paving is paved, the celebration is done, everyone is very happy, but it still failed, the reason is that the resistance is too big, the current is too weak, and the AC basically depends on guessing.

Looking at it this way, Chen Zier's investment is simply a coward, and he can't be cowardly anymore, because he at least knows the right direction in a few years.

in the office.

He said to Sun Yaguan: "This matter, as the chairman of Shengshi Group, I can make a decision now, and I also agree with your point of view of 'don't reinvent the wheel', and at the same time I am a layman, Shengjun, is half a layman, so I may still trouble you with the target company of the acquisition, of course, the next work will not be free, and I also formally invite you to serve as a special consultant of Shengshi Electronics." ”

Old man Sun smiled, "Paid or unpaid is not the key, what I said is not necessarily the golden rule, it must be correct, if you need it, I can find information, and find out the companies that are still working on operating systems in the world to form a file and send it to you." ”

Then he raised his eyebrows again, and said in particular: "But I won't give you a good evaluation of the good or bad, we are scholars, we don't look at ideology or personal preferences, I can only tell you that this is the case, the results of my research are like this, and you choose to do it yourself." ”

Liang Shengjun was considerate of the boss's thoughts and proposed: "Shengshi Electronics can also meet your desire to devote yourself to academia, since Mr. Chen is interested in this, he naturally hopes to get the help of a scientist like you." ”

"I'm half in the ground, what can I do? This thing needs geniuses, talented young people. ”

In the end, he didn't agree to Shengshi Electronics.

After expressing his gratitude, Chen Zier left here with Liang Shengjun.

Although Sun Yaguan said that business operations are more important than the market, the technology of this thing is also extremely demanding.

It's a pity that the recruitment of the first talent failed like this.

"In fact, I can predict this, Sun Yaguan himself is indeed tired of workplace struggles and personnel are impermanent. Liang Shengjun was keen-minded and said meaningfully: "He shouldn't be short of money, this thing can't impress him if it's less, if it's too much, let's recruit other people, and the standard will be difficult to get." ”

"What then?"

"People live for a lifetime, there are always weaknesses, Sun Lao himself doesn't think about anything, but his children always have to take care of it. ”

Chen Zier instantly felt that Liang Shengjun was still quite flexible, "Son or daughter?"

Liang Shengjun said: "Son, I saw it a few years ago, people are a little naughty, but their nature is not bad, they just can be happy, and now I don't know what they are doing." He smiled, "But I know he's a photographer, and I guess it's because of my father's rigid academics that disgust him." ”

"Can't you do photography?"

"If he becomes a famous photographer, I should also know, I guess it's not good, anyway, he didn't see through the red dust like you, and there is a drama in this matter. ”

Chen Zier felt weird, "Why did I see through the red dust?"

Liang Shengjun sighed, "In our opinion, you are, in fact, there is nothing wrong with this, I also want to see through the red dust." ”

Chen Zier said: "Who stopped you?"

"It's not the same. Liang Shengjun tilted his head and said with a little envy: "I am not married yet, I have to earn money to marry a wife, and I can see through the red dust, indifferent to fame and fortune, it will always be the patent of the successful, for small people like us, desire is the life-saving straw for survival." ”

Chen Zier was curious, "Although you say that you are a small person, your career is successful, so why...... You don't even have a girlfriend. ”

Liang Shengjun stretched the corners of his mouth and laughed, "I said I'm waiting for someone, do you believe it?"

I'll go, how old are you, brother, and how long have you been waiting?

“…… Infatuation seeds?"

"Good words, also... Sort of, but it's not that exaggerated, I just have someone I like. ”

"And then?"

"And then, like many crush stories, she never had a crush on me for a few years, but I myself was fascinated by who I was at that time. ”

Chen Zier suddenly thought of something, "The person you are talking about can't be Shi Yangqing, right?"
