Song Yingxing had to turn the topic back, because he saw that this time it seemed that the emperor's eyes radiated a very eager look, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, it is actually a bulky two-wheeled wooden car, it takes effort to ride alone, and people with little strength can't ride at all, how can it become a commonly used thing in any family!" I don't think you're thinking about things anymore, you have a lot of things to do, so let's think about something big, and let me and my students do things like making tools! ”

Song Yingxing really doesn't understand why Zhu Youxiao is so interested in this simple wooden donkey, in fact, the main reason is that Zhu Youxiao came from later generations, at that time China was known as the kingdom of bicycles, and when it was time to commute, the road was full of bicycles, as long as it was almost everyone who could ride. The walking speed of people is about five miles per hour, but the speed of cycling can reach thirty miles, so that the speed of doing things in life is almost six times, at least the speed of walking is increased by six times, which can greatly improve the rhythm of people's life and produce higher efficiency. Although the current wooden bicycle is very bulky and not too fast, if it is slightly modified, it should not be a problem to walk 30 miles every hour, not to mention that the car is not too picky, as long as the road is not too bad in the plain area.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Song Yingxing and was a little anxious, so he said with a smile: "Old Song, don't worry, didn't I tell you, I won't be obsessed with making carpenter furniture anymore, I just think that after a little transformation, this wooden donkey will definitely be a very good means of transportation, but now the students who invented this wooden donkey have not yet realized its value, once this wooden donkey is popularized, it will definitely become the most popular thing." That's it, now I don't have anything urgent anyway, you always think I'm giving you a vacation, let's go see the wooden donkey, maybe we can buy this patent cheaper, and when the market is opened in the future, we can share the money, it will be the boss of a lot of money! ”

Song Yingxing had no choice but to take Zhu Youxiao to put on civilian clothes and go to Daming Institute of Technology to see the wooden donkey, and he was still secretly swearing in his heart that if Zhu Youxiao saw the wooden donkey, he would indulge in carpentry work again, and resolutely expel the unlucky student, and even complained that he was cheap, why should he mention the ugly wooden donkey.

When he came to the school's affiliated experimental factory, Song Yingxing led Zhu Youxiao to find the student named Guan Mutong, only to see that the guy was still staring at his work in a daze. Guan Mutong is really distressed, his graduation work is this wooden bicycle, and many teachers have given high praise, but it can't solve the problem of being too bulky, can't be promoted, he comes from an ordinary carpenter family, and has a very talent for carpentry work, which makes something comparable to Zhuge Liang's wooden ox and flowing horse, but why can't it be used in real life?

Looking at this slightly lean young man, he didn't even notice that the two of them came in, Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt that this young man should be given a chance, so that he could become an example of how Daming can get rich and make a fortune by inventing and creating things, and completely drive a new wave of Daming's research and invention.

Zhu Youxiao shouted: "Young man, do you sell this wooden donkey, how much does it cost if you want to sell it?" I bought it with the patent for future processing and transformation, what do you think? ”

Guan Mutong suddenly heard someone talking, raised his head and saw that it was Mr. Song who came with someone, and hurriedly greeted him: "Hello Mr. Song!" This little brother is good, I'm really sorry, I'm thinking about transforming this wooden donkey, and I didn't see you coming. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This wooden donkey was designed and manufactured by yourself? How did you come up with the idea of making this thing? ”

Guan Mutong said: "I have seen the 'iron bull' in our school, but that guy needs to burn wood or coal, and it is too expensive to use it for ordinary travel, so I wanted to make a simpler two-wheeled vehicle that can go faster with manpower, so I designed this thing myself, but unfortunately, it is a little too bulky, and I haven't figured out a way to transform it." ”

"Come, come, let me see." Zhu Youxiao came to the front, "Young man, look at it, the wheel of your car knows how to cause circles, and you know that the friction generated when rolling is the smallest, but why is the front and rear axles of this wheel directly drilled into the air, so that it is laborious and easy to damage, if you make an iron shaft with beads, it will be much easier to turn, and this pedal-type pedal, you look at the 'iron bull', isn't it driven by a buckle chain?" Go back and take a closer look at the transmission mode of the 'iron bull', and learn from it, maybe this wooden donkey is really a good thing. Zhu Youxiao just inspired and pointed out, lest this Guan Mutong drill his own horns or not be worth mentioning, and it is not good for anyone to delay.

Guan Mutong said: "Little brother, what you said makes sense, I have thought about it, but I don't have so much money to find craftsmen to make it, I also want to make it more economical, if I have more money, I will definitely make this wooden donkey better." ”

"Heh, heh." Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "That's it, Mutong, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver, you want to transform this wooden donkey into a light use, not only wood, if it is made of other materials, it can also be made." I used this 1,000 taels of silver as an investment, and after I made money, you shared 49% of the money between me and Lao Song, okay? ”

Why did Zhu Youxiao propose only 49 percent of the shares, instead of holding a controlling stake? You must know that this thousand taels of silver is not proportional to the value of such a wooden bicycle. In fact, Zhu Youxiao deliberately made this decision, because he knew that in later generations, because powerful financial capital controlled industrial capital, countless disasters were caused. When they decided on the controlling stake in the industrial capital, the greedy financial capital would do whatever it wanted, and even sell the industrial factories for profit, causing countless tragedies. Now Zhu Youxiao wants to set a red line for these future financial capitalists: No matter how much money you invest, the industrial factories will always have a controlling stake, and the financial capital must always give blood to the industrial capital factories, instead of trying by all means to extract the profits of the industrial factories.

Guan Mutong never thought that at his most difficult time, a sum of money flew from the sky so suddenly, and with this start-up capital, he could completely solve the transformation and production of this wooden donkey. He excitedly raised a ninety-degree bow to Song Yingxing, said thank you with tears in his eyes, and said to Zhu Youxiao: "Thank you for your help, little brother, you funded me such a large sum of money when I was most depressed and difficult, so that I can continue to study this wooden donkey, I will definitely make it to your satisfaction." But is your proposal of only 49 percent equity too little? It's not worth that much to even buy it myself! Shouldn't you ask for more? ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "Mu Tong, in fact, the most valuable thing is not silver, the most valuable thing is your brain, don't take your knowledge too cheap, you may regret that I want too much profit in the future!" ”

"No," Guan Mutong said, "it is your silver that has helped me make money, if there is no money, I can't do anything, even this wooden donkey will not be made better, you are my benefactor, how can I regret it?" I will only thank you for your great virtue. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I mean I want to set a rule, no matter who wants to invest in the factory, how much money is invested, then he wants to get benefits, he must stand on the same position as the inventor, only by supporting the development of industry, the society can continue to progress, pure capital speculation, will only harm the development of society, cause industrial turmoil, cause social instability." ”

Only then did Song Yingxing understand the true intention of Zhu Youxiao to come here, that is, he was afraid that inventors like Guan Mutong would suffer losses, hinder the lawless swallowing of industrial factories by rich people in the future, control and monopolize the development of industry, and hinder the continuous progress of science and technology, because now it has been found that many rich people have bought many small patents invented by schools for the sake of existing vested interests, and in the end, students' inventions cannot be promoted, and students cannot earn much money, so they lose their passion for invention.
