No matter what era it is, beauty has certain privileges. Now, for example, it is clear that John, Reilly, and Cornelius Jr. all have a much higher status than Hedy Lamarr, but they don't think it's rude for the beautiful inventor to let them deign to wait here. If it were a young male inventor, they wouldn't be so interested.

While waiting, John first communicated with Corneliers Jr. and asked him to help investigate the "false reports" about Adele. Then, he pulled Reilly aside, "Reilly, is Draco sure to get Miss Heidi's invention patent?" ”

"Of course I'm sure, otherwise why am I here?" Reilly said confidently, "I've asked someone about it. Miss Heidi had approached many people through various channels before, and we were the only ones interested in his invention except Charles Kettering of the National Council on Inventions. ”

"Charles Caitlin? He's also interested in the invention? John was a little surprised, it turned out that he was not the only one who knew the goods.

Although in his previous life, John had never even heard of Charles Caitling. But when he came to this era, his ears were almost calloused by the name of the "father of innovation". In the 40s, when Edison, Tesla, Westinghouse and other invention kings were gradually passing away, Charles Kettering, the chairman of the American Invention Council with more than 140 invention patents, was a great god in the invention world.

The Dayton Company, which he founded, is an important part of General Motors. During his tenure as head of GM's research labs, Charles Kettering led the development of a number of landmark new technologies, including ethyl gasoline, freon, two-stroke diesel, independent front wheel suspension, and fully automatic transmission.

"He wasn't interested in Miss Heidi's invention, but in Miss Heidi as a person." Reilly's answer made John's eyes widen. Isn't it, the invention world has also been in vogue these days? Charles Caitlin is 65 years old at this time, and Hedy Lamarr is only 26, which is the rhythm of old cows eating tender grass.

Reilly also realized that his words could easily mislead John, and quickly explained: "It's not what you think. Charles Caitlin has devoted most of his energy to the National Council of Inventions over the years, and I have heard that he is interested in recruiting Miss Heidi as a member of the committee. ”

John probably understood the doorway. In the United States today, the so-called inventors are very different from later generations. The vast majority of them are not academically trained researchers, but "grassroots" people who have not received systematic higher education.

Because Edison, the original founder of the National Council of Inventions, did not have a formal school education and was self-taught. Therefore, the National Invention Committee has always had a tradition of inviting creative inventors from all walks of life, such as engineers, mathematicians, entrepreneurs, and even ordinary skilled workers, pharmacists, accountants, and artists, to academic scientists.

If Heidi Lamarr is such a hot Hollywood star, if she can also be absorbed into the National Invention Council, it will be a very powerful addition to the "national invention craze" that Charles Caitlin has been advocating.

Thinking of this, John knew how Heidi Lamarr's invention was finally approved by the national patent office in history. Charles Kettering and the National Council of Inventions must have played an important role in this.

Fortunately, the National Council of Inventions is just a club-like association, and it is unlikely that Charles Caitlin will jump out to steal business with John. John didn't seem to have to worry about someone competing with him for the hen that lays the golden eggs.

"And what about Miss Heidi, would she be willing to sell us the patent?" John asks the second crucial question. This patent is the work of Heidi Lamarr and George Antell. The absence of other competitors does not mean that they are willing to sell their patents to Draco. It seems that in history, Heidi finally gave this patent to the state for free.

"I've thought about this too. Before, I also asked Hughes to send someone to investigate the situation of these two people in Hollywood. The results are interesting. Reilly's eyes lit up when he talked about the Hollywood gossip.

"That George Antelle was an out-of-fashion avant-garde composer who now makes a living mostly by scoring Hollywood films. However, in private, he also has the identity of a breast enhancement expert, and many female actors will ask him for help. That's how Miss Heidi met him. Speaking of this, Reilly couldn't help but smack his lips, as if he was very envious of Antell's underground profession.

"What are you talking about?" John frowned, he wasn't very interested in this kind of entertainment gossip.

"Listen to me, according to the news that the people at Hughes Film Company helped me find, George Antell often spent all day in Heidi's luxurious apartment, and the relationship between the two was very ambiguous. However, this Antelle was married, and his wife, Posky, was very unhappy with her husband's relationship with Miss Heidi. As long as we do something about his wife, it won't be difficult to force Antelle to sell us the patent. ”

"Aren't they still in the process of amending the patent application? What if the patent is filed in Miss Heidi's name alone? John asked rhetorically.

"I'm not afraid. I think that the reason why Miss Heidi was obsessed with this invention and even did not hesitate to turn down the play contract caused Louis Mayer (the founder of MGM) to be extremely dissatisfied was nothing more than two purposes. One is the Nazi ex-husband who took revenge on her. The other is to prove that he is not a vase without brains. ”

"How do you know you're right?" John knew that Reilly's analysis made sense, but he asked rhetorically.

"Are we missing a pretty, smart, ambitious, and vain man like her? With my eyes closed, I could guess why she didn't want to continue making films, but instead focused on this invention. I was amazed that she had made something decent. ”

Reilly's answer reminded John of many female members of wealthy East Coast families. Indeed, Heidi doesn't seem to be much different from them. Women like her from a well-known family (Heidi's father was a big banker, her mother was a pianist, and she received an aristocratic education from an early age), with outstanding looks, a smart mind, and a strong sense of vanity and ambition, were not uncommon in John's circle.

"As long as we can help her successfully apply for a patent this time and get her the status of an inventor, we are already halfway there. As long as she wants to achieve the second goal, there is no other way but to sell us the patent. On her own, the officers of the army would believe in the invention of an actress? Don't look at the jokes. ”

"Okay. Do what you want. John finally nodded in agreement with Reilly's proposal, "Anyway, get this patent anyway." ”
