Chapter 21: Turning the Face

"I'll go, isn't this radio remote control?!"

Looking at the boat coming from afar, John felt that his brain was a little insufficient, and he was stunned and speechless for a while. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Radio, which has only appeared for a few years, can already remotely control a small boat?

John didn't know that Tesla invented wireless remote control very early in real history, and he didn't know that it was in the small lake in Central Park that Tesla conducted the first experiment, so when he saw the slowly approaching boat in front of him, he was only shocked in his heart - could it be that Tesla is really like what is written on the Internet, full of black technology?

Anna and the others also had shocked expressions on their faces.

For ordinary people at the end of the 19th century, watching a small boat sail on the water without a driver, and apparently a purposeful navigator, was like watching a science fiction movie in later generations. The only difference is that people in the future know that what is in science fiction movies can be realized, but it has not yet been realized, but what Anna and others see now is a living fact......

……

"It turns out that radio control is possible."

When John saw Tesla, the forty-year-old scientist smiled very proudly with his mustache cocked: "This is our first public experiment, and it will definitely cause a huge sensation in New York City, and Motorola will be famous again." ”

"Uh......"

Looking at Tesla's smug face, John could only smile and didn't say anything.

After a brief moment of shock, John came to his senses and knew that he might have made a little fuss. Of course, any progress in science and technology is something to be happy about, but for the Mr. Tesla in front of him, John is tired of it. Successes again and again may have made this one swell rapidly, so the other party is likely to make the request that John rejected several times again......

"Mr. Huntelaar!"

After a while, Tesla's face suddenly turned straight and said: "Now that the problem of wireless remote control has been solved, the next perfect work can be handed over to others to complete, so ......"

"Sure enough!"

Unable to help but roll his eyes, John shook his head with a wry smile.

Woden Creverta!

Or rather, it could be said that Tesla Tower, a name that John had certainly heard. Tesla used it to research the technology of radio crossing the Atlantic, as well as the device for wireless power transmission. Because of the advent of John, the research on radio across the Atlantic has long been over, and the state-of-the-art radio transmitter produced by Motorola can now make this technology try to be put into commercial use. However, Tesla has not yet begun to study wireless power transmission technology.

The reason why the study did not begin was naturally because of John's opposition.

Whether wireless power transmission is really feasible, I am afraid no one knows better than John, after all, wireless charging technology has appeared in the previous life. But he also knew that the technology would be difficult to implement, and that even if Tesla was really genius enough to perfect it a hundred years ago, John wouldn't allow him to do it!

The reason is simple, profit only.

There is no doubt that as the majority shareholder of American electric utilities, John is one of the biggest beneficiaries of alternating current technology. And the U.S. electric power company, which has been developing at a high speed, is based on cable transmission for all technologies. It was precisely because of the advantages of alternating current in transmission and other aspects, coupled with the help of the Huntelaar family and Morgan and others, that they were able to quickly defeat Edison and his direct current and dominate the entire American electricity market. If Tesla succeeds in researching wireless power transfer technology, what will happen to the huge investment in American electricity?

What's more, John knows it's a bottomless pit of input!

Historically, Morgan has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in Tesla, and the end result is that Marconi was the first to complete the experiment of radio across the Atlantic, and the final page of Worden Crevert Tower was abandoned. On the one hand, this shows the difficulty of the experiment, and on the other hand, it also shows that Tesla is not so omnipotent, otherwise it would not fall behind Marconi.

In any way, John could not have supported this idea.

So after a moment of silence, John finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Tesla, I always thought that wireless power transmission was just an unrealistic dream, but wireless broadcasting was the biggest use besides communication, so ......"

Before John could finish speaking, Tesla frowned and exclaimed, "But Mr. Huntelaar, I have done a lot of preparations, and it turns out that this is not a pipe ......."

"Alright, Mr. Tesla!"

Also without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, John waved his hand and said impatiently: "We'll talk about this matter later, now let's talk about the ship you designed first, okay?" ”

John was a little annoyed by the subject.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, he is not a fan of Tesla, and he is naturally unwilling to meet the other party's requirements at the expense of his own interests. In fact, whether it was investing in alternating current or later radio, John's cooperation with the other party was carried out on a fair basis, and he did not owe Tesla anything. However, this scientist relied on a series of patents for his own invention and the confidence brought by huge profits, and made this request several times, and said a lot of things that should not be said in Motorola after John refused......

"You ......"

John's simplicity made Tesla's face instantly ugly, and he shouted: "If you don't want the company to invest, I will use my own money to conduct research!" I must warn you, Mr. Huntelaar, that you will not be able to enjoy the slightest benefit from the results of my own research in the future! ”

John is the largest shareholder in Motorola and has since expanded its capital twice, and now owns nearly 70 percent of the shares. Without his consent, Tesla, of course, could not take money from Motorola for research, and only his own dividends could be used.

Of course, Tesla is worth a lot of money these days.

"Of course, it's your freedom!"

Narrowing his eyes slightly, John said lightly: "But we must say first, you can devote your energy and money to the research of wireless power transmission, but the research team of Motorola can't move, because I need them to study wireless broadcasting technology!" ”

"What?!"

Listening to John say this, Tesla is completely on fire.

But before he could say anything, John's face sank and he said coldly: "Mr. Tesla, I must remind you that I am the majority shareholder of Motorola!" You can do your own research if you want, but only with your own money and your own people, and not a single nail from Motorola can use ......" (To be continued.) )
