The accumulation of science and technology requires a process from scratch, and the Horse Laboratory is no exception, the reason why the Horse Laboratory performs well has a lot to do with Li Mu's guidance, and it does not mean that the strength of the Horse Laboratory is necessarily much stronger than the Rockefeller's laboratory.

Don't look at the Horse Laboratory has made a lot of new things, but in fact, most of them are based on the in-depth research of predecessors, such as electric lights, which were purchased by the Horse Laboratory from Henri Goebbels's widow before Edison, and then studied under the guidance of Li Mu, among them, Li Mu's guidance is very important, once Edison tested more than 1,600 kinds of materials in order to invent the light bulb, and the Horse Laboratory only tested more than 30 kinds, and they are all carbonized bamboo wire, which greatly saves time.

Similar to the light bulb is also the telephone, without Antonio Meugchi's preliminary research, it would not be easy for the Stallion Lab to develop a telephone, but with Antonio Meugchi, everything is logical.

Compared with the Rockefeller Laboratory and the Horse Laboratory, the difference is a qualified leader, a "prophet" close to the demigod, Rockefeller is a qualified investor, never stingy in capital investment, and the Rockefeller Laboratory also has benefits that are almost the same as the Horse Laboratory, but it is in this that the gap between the Rockefeller Laboratory and the Horse Laboratory is too big, and this gap will become bigger and bigger in the future.

In the future, Nikola Tesla will serve as the prophet of the Horse Laboratory, and Li Mu is sure that Nikola Tesla will be more qualified than Li Mu for this role.

Li Mu has absolute confidence in Nikola Tesla, so even if Nikola Tesla just promised Li Mu that he would start researching power station technology, Li Mu dared to fool Rockefeller, J· P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie Investment, as for whether Nikola Tesla can succeed, Li Mu has never worried about this problem.

"Yes, the Junma laboratory has conquered all the technologies needed to build a large-scale hydropower station, and at present, the Junma laboratory is making every effort to overcome the remote transmission technology of electricity, and I can guarantee that within two years, all the technology research and development will be completed." Li Mu assured that he boldly gave a timetable, anyway, the construction of a hydropower station is not a project that can be completed in three or five months, and the construction period of such a large project is generally several years or even more than ten years.

Hydropower station this kind of large-scale infrastructure, and high-rise buildings are two different things, to say that the horse construction company now also has a good technical strength, New York in recent years appeared some high-rise buildings are all built by the horse construction company, but for the large hydropower station this has never appeared before the infrastructure, the horse construction company still lacks experience, which needs to explore while construction, the time and energy required far more than the construction of skyscrapers.

Of course, this is also a process of accumulation, and the company has completed the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, and participated in the construction of the Panama Canal, and if the Niagara hydropower plant is built, then the company will establish an unrivaled position in the American construction industry, especially in the area of infrastructure.

"The Niagara Hydroelectric Plant, which uses hydroelectric power to supply the whole of New England, is a good idea, but Reem, this should conflict with the operation of the Horse Electric Company, why?" J· P. Morgan was still very calm and was not stunned by the pie thrown by Li Mu.

At present, Junma Electric Company monopolizes the home power supply system in the United States, and the products are also exported to Europe, earning a lot of profits for Li Mu. P. Morgan does not know how much money Li Mu made by selling light bulbs, but there is still a rough figure, Junma Electric Company has sold at least 40,000 sets of household power supply systems this year, assuming that each power supply system can bring Li Mu a profit of 2,000 US dollars, then Li Mu through Junma Electric Company, this year's income is at least more than 80 million US dollars.

If it is really as Li Mu said, the electricity from the Niagara Hydropower Station can be transmitted to the entire New England region, then it also means that the users of light bulbs will rise significantly compared with before, not only rich families, even middle-class families are also expected to use electric lights, which may reduce the profit per unit product, but when the coverage area of electric lights is large enough, profits will rise again, Considering the massive income of Junma Electric Company, Li Mu even does not rely on Rockefeller, J· P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie, Li Mu himself also had the ability to build the Niagara Hydropower Station.

This is tantamount to taking out their own money and letting everyone share it, according to J· P. Morgan's understanding of Li Mu, Li Mu should not be so generous, at least if it is replaced by J· P. Morgan, probably J. Morgan, probably J. Morgan, P. Morgan, P. Morgan P. Morgan also felt pain in his flesh.

"Piper, money is not enough, now that there is hydropower station technology, it will not be long before hydropower stations will settle down in the states, this market is too big, Junma Electric Company alone can not eat, in fact, even if we work together, we can't occupy all the electricity markets in the United States, in this case, why don't we join forces?" It's not that Li Mu doesn't want to swallow it alone, but he really can't swallow it, and if he doesn't do it, he will die, so he just pulls a few more people to eat together, at least he has to occupy the table first.

Speaking of which, Li Mu and Rockefeller each have their own spheres of influence, Li Mu's sphere of influence is Massachusetts and New York in New England, Rockefeller's lair is in Pennsylvania, Andrew Carnegie's lair is in the Great Lakes region, and J· P. Morgan, this guy is a speculator, and wherever there is business, there is J. Morgan. P. Morgan's figure, but in doing so, also led to J· P. Morgan did not have a firm big rear.

For example, in Massachusetts, whether it is the election of the governor, or the election of senators and representatives, it must first be agreed by Li Mu.

As for the economy, this measurement is simpler, now Massachusetts, nearly thirty percent of GDP are from the Horse Group, more than fifty percent of the Massachusetts companies have a direct business relationship with the Horse Group, if the Horse Group announced its withdrawal from Massachusetts, then the Massachusetts state will soon go bankrupt, in this case, there is no need for the public relations department of the Horse Group, Massachusetts will consciously safeguard the interests of the Horse Group, otherwise, after the conflict between the Horse Group and the Texas Cotton Farmers Association the year before last, The Massachusetts state government will not stand firmly on the side of the Horse Group.

"Tell me what you think, Reem, how much do you want to buy in hydropower plant technology? How many shares do you hold? There is no doubt that Andrew Carnegie is following in Li's footsteps, and there is no doubt that the construction of hydropower plants will require a lot of steel, and those needs will eventually turn into orders from Carnegie-Riem Steel.

"The price of the complete set of hydropower station technology is 10 million US dollars, accounting for 20 percent of the shares of the hydropower station, and I will contribute another 10 million US dollars." Li Mu's appetite is still quite big, and he wants 40% as soon as he opens his mouth.

The price of technology is 10 million dollars, which seems to be a bit expensive-

However, this is also understandable, after all, Li Muken asked Rockefeller and them to take a stake in the Niagara Hydropower Station, and Li Mu has shown enough sincerity.

Although under the premise of only four shareholders, 40% of the shares is a lot, but in fact, this is not ugly, after all, the shares of the three of Rockefeller and the three of them together are still more than half, although Andrew Carnegie will definitely maintain the same front as Li Mu, but at least it looks good.

Sure enough, although Li Mu's offer was not low, it did not cause Rockefeller and J· P. Morgan's strong opposition, on the contrary, the price offered by Li Mu made Rockefeller and J. Morgan and J. Morgan P. Morgan breathed a sigh of relief, after all, with Li Mu's strength, he could have asked for a better condition. P. Morgan They don't have much confidence to refuse, no way, technology is king these days, in the case of everyone's capital strength is about the same, whoever has technology is the uncle.

There was hardly any controversy, and at the suggestion of Li Mu, Rockefeller and J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie each paid $10 million to claim 20 percent of the shares in the yet-to-be-born Niagara Hydropower Station.

As the chairman, Li Mu immediately announced the official establishment of the Niagara Company, which also means that the construction of the hydropower station has begun to enter the substantive stage.

It's simple, a group of capitalists join hands, they can indeed do whatever they want, Li Mu and they didn't even consider whether the construction of large-scale infrastructure facilities such as the Niagara Hydropower Station requires the approval of the local government, this is not a problem at all, the Great Lakes region is Andrew Carnegie's lair, and the relevant procedures are handed over to Andrew Carnegie.

Andrew Carnegie didn't even bite a bite, laughed and said that this was a phone call, as for the construction of the hydropower station needs to be coordinated with the Canadian government, this issue will be handed over to the New York State government, after all, the hydropower station is built in New York State, which will definitely bring a lot of tax revenue to the New York State government, and the New York State government should run errands.

This is why Arthur has resigned as governor of New York in order to assist James Garfield in his campaign, otherwise this would be a phone call for Li Mu.

In the evening, Rockefeller invited Li Mu to dinner, hoping to ask Li Mu how to build a first-class laboratory.

"I may not be able to give you a standard answer to this question, I have already copied a copy of the management system and researcher promotion system of the Horse Laboratory for you, who can blame you for not being able to do this?" Li Mu shook off the pot beautifully, Li Mu had long known that Rockefeller was very dissatisfied with his laboratory, but there was nothing he could do about it, he couldn't give Nikola Tesla to Rockefeller, Li Mu was not generous.

Rockefeller's laboratory is copied from the Horse Laboratory, the system of the two laboratories is basically exactly the same, the level of ordinary researchers is almost the same, the difference is the project initiator, whether it is Antonio Meugchi or Nikola Tesla in the Horse Laboratory, the Rockefeller Laboratory does not have this condition, although Rockefeller hopes to attract one or two industry bulls, but under the same conditions, scientific researchers must give priority to the Horse Laboratory.

"I must blame you, if it weren't for your Steed Lab, my lab wouldn't be bad-" Rockefeller ignored the three points, this is not a soliciting attitude at all: "-Actually, I know how bad my lab is compared to the Steed Lab, just yesterday, I suddenly had an idea, my lab lacks a real leader, you say, if I bring Edison over, what do you think?" ”

Uh, uh, Edison, Rockefeller is also a talent, and he actually remembered this guy, but this is destined to be just a fantasy, Li Mu will never let Edison return to New York-

Not to mention going back to New York, not to mention going back to the United States!

"You can try, maybe this guy can invent a machine that, with electricity, can detect where there's oil in the ground." Li Mu only thought that Rockefeller was joking.

"Hehe, it is said that Mr. Ream is magnanimous, in fact, you are a cautious guy, don't be in a hurry to deny it, you are afraid that my laboratory will surpass your horse laboratory." Rockefeller will definitely not admit defeat, and he will definitely not go to England to get Edison back, and there is still a tacit understanding of this.

"Yes, I'm so afraid-" Li Mu's expression was indifferent, saying that he was afraid, in fact, the sneer on the corner of his mouth betrayed Li Mu's mood: "You don't know, although the Horse Laboratory has a steady stream of patents, but I can feel that the laboratory is losing its vitality, so if you want to catch up with me, you'd better hurry up, the researchers of the Horse Laboratory need some stimulation, even if it's a little pressure, I'm afraid that they will sleep on the previous merit book." ”

Li Mu said this very badly, the corners of Rockefeller's mouth twitched, on the surface it was encouragement, in fact, look at what Li Mu said, "need a little stimulation", "a little pressure", "point" is the key, is the pressure from the Rockefeller laboratory to the horse laboratory is only so "point"?

Shame on you!

"Study your petroleum technology honestly, as for the rest, don't think so much, I can guarantee that at least for fifty years, your laboratory will not think of surpassing the Horse Laboratory." Li Mu This is advice, although it is possible that Rockefeller did not believe it.

The reason why it is fifty years is because Nikola Tesla is only twenty years old, which means that as long as Nikola Tesla is alive, Rockefeller will wash and sleep, and useless resistance is useless.
