John doesn't lack respect for Tesla. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Including Edison, who had a bad character, John never despised each other for reasons of interest, because he knew that in this era there are laws of this era, and the law of the jungle is the same even in the future.
But that doesn't mean that John will blindly go along with the other party.
For example, Tesla, if his decisions were all right, he would not end up miserable in the other world. In the final analysis, on the one hand, it is because Tesla lacks the ability to survive and develop in this era except for the genius of physics, and on the other hand, it is also related to his own character flaws. For example, the dispute with John, at the beginning, John was kind and persuasive, but as Tesla's success swelled and grew, John finally began to get impatient!
"There's no doubt he's going to have his own Waterloo!"
Looking at the back of Tesla who was angry and gone, John shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "The success of the past few years has made Mr. Tesla believe in himself too much, he doesn't understand that Motorola is a profitable company after all, and the laboratory can only study those technologies with commercial prospects." And what he wants to study requires too much investment......"
"Is this wireless power transfer technology really promising?"
A look of reluctance flashed in Anna's eyes, and she asked softly, "And...... Mr. Tesla is so powerful, can't he really research this technology? Look, isn't that boat on the lake also wirelessly controlled? ”
"Huh."
After a moment of silence, John's eyes narrowed slightly, and he chuckled: "Whether there is a future or not, many times it is not determined by the technology itself, but often by the people who have the right to master it......"
……
A week later.
"That's about it."
A young white man in his thirties stood in front of John and whispered respectfully, "Mr. Tesla has formed a new company and injected $200,000 into it......"
"Does he have that much money?"
Hearing this, John interrupted without hesitation.
It's not that John looks down on Tesla, although as one of the shareholders of American Power and Motorola, Tesla receives a huge dividend every year, and this figure may even exceed $200,000! But for the scientist, who is bent on assimating into New York's high society, no matter how much money he has, it seems that he can spend it — the mansions on Fifth Avenue, at least three Aurora II and the lavish banquets that are often held eat up his money at every moment.
Two hundred thousand dollars, John was skeptical that he could get it!
"Of course, sir!"
The eyebrows drooped unconsciously, and the young white man whispered cautiously: "Although Mr. Tesla is careful with the demonstration, as far as we know, these funds are likely to come from Mr. Morgan......"
"Sure enough...... Hehe, sure enough, it's him! ”
After hearing this, John frowned at first, and suddenly laughed randomly!
It seems that there is a thread in the dark, trying to make everything in this world overlap with another world. For example, Conan Doyle wrote Sherlock Holmes, for example, Liszt became president of the Royal Society, and for example, Morgan funded Tesla's research......
"Sir, is there anything we need to do?"
After waiting for a long time without responding, the young white man asked cautiously.
"What to do? No, no, no. ”
Smiling slightly, John said lightly: "No matter what they do, it is their freedom, and we have no reason to interfere with anything!" And if it was really Mr. Morgan who funded Mr. Tesla's research, who could interfere? Hehe, let them go! ”
If it were someone else, he might still be confused about what Morgan was secretly planning, but where might John not understand? With the vigorous development of the second industrial revolution, the importance of electricity has become more and more prominent, and it is clear that American power companies have a bright future. But in the company's shares, the Huntelaar family has always maintained the status of the largest shareholder, and Morgan tried to dilute it several times with the reason of increasing capital, but was beaten back lightly by John, who has strong financial resources-if you really want to fight for money, the Huntelaar family really has not been afraid of anyone!
Unable to do it head-on, Morgan had to think of some shady tricks.
In fact, not only in the power industry, but also in the United States in recent years, several pharmaceutical companies have used patent loopholes to imitate aspirin, as well as several automobile companies, etc., with the shadow of the Morgan consortium looming behind them. It's just that in the face of technology beyond the times, these companies are far from being comparable to the industry of the Huntelaar family in terms of product quality and production costs. Finally narrowed the distance, John and Taylor immediately sacrificed the supreme weapon of price reduction, and they could defeat the other party in an instant. It can be said that in John's body, Morgan has suffered a lot of stuffy sticks!
"Then let me see, can you work a miracle this time?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, John waved his hand and said lightly: "That's it, you can keep an eye on Tesla, but there is no need to interfere with his research, we just need to watch quietly......"
As soon as the young white man left, Su Li suddenly knocked on the door in a hurry, and said excitedly: "Sir, Mr. Rong Hong is here, and he is now in the hall on the first floor, and he hopes to meet you!" ”
"Oh?"
John's heart moved, and he quickly stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go down!" ”
The two walked briskly down the stairs, and then John soon saw Rong Hong sitting on the sofa. The old man was sipping the tea brought by the servants with a smile on his face, while looking at the decorations of John's house with interest.
"Could it be that this one has already figured it out?"
Seeing Rong Hong's relaxed appearance, a smile suddenly appeared on John's face, and he walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Rong, welcome to the Humble House again!" ”
"Good afternoon, Mr. Huntelaar!"
After hearing John's voice, Rong Hong quickly stood up and smiled.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, John invited Rong Hong to sit down again, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Rong, how are you doing in New York these days?" ”
"Hehe, it's okay."
After smiling, Rong Hong said: "But although New York is good, after all, it is not a place for me to stay for a long time, my motherland is suffering now, and at the same time, it is also ushering in a huge opportunity, I must rush back as soon as possible, so I came here to ask Huntelaar to resign." ”
"Hmm."
Nodding, John understood what Rong Hong meant, so he continued to ask, "So about the selection of international students...... Mr. Yung has been in New York for a few days, can you think clearly? ”
"Of course!"
Smiling slightly, Rong Hong nodded and said, "If I hadn't come to New York in person, I'm afraid it's hard for me to imagine that Mr. Huntelaar's reputation in New York would be so high!" So I'm sure I'm very relieved to be able to leave those children in the hands of Mr. Huntelaar to be raised......" (To be continued.) )
