This chapter is subtitled: The Health of the Entrepreneur and the Conscience of the Capitalist

"Bang dang!"

"Father, what's wrong with you?!"

When Baker's grandson and Master Yuan looked back, they saw the great inventor slumped on the sofa. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Louis Baker is a good leftist young man. Seeing this, he was in a hurry, and immediately rushed out of the smoking room and shouted: "Someone, go find a doctor!" Mr. Edison fainted! ”

George Baker didn't go to visit his "friend", but lowered his voice and said to Yuan Yanqian: "Neo, this is 50,000 dollars!" It's not a lot to me, of course, but I know it's a lot of money for you. Are you really going to give this huge sum of money to Mr. Tesla? ”

Our Master Yuan also whispered, "Mr. Baker, I heard that this veritable scientific genius doesn't seem to be doing well these days......"

Actually, Nikola Tesla's recent situation is not "not very good", but "very bad".

The turning point in his life was the construction of the Wardenclyffe Tower on Long Island, New York, in 1900...... Well, this 187-foot-tall tower, which is equivalent to 60 meters, is also better known as the Tesla Tower.

Fifty-one percent of the $150,000 investment in the construction of Worden Crevo Tower came from J.P. Morgan Sr. However, Tesla hid the truth from his big benefactor, and the tower was not used to experiment with wireless telegraphy, but to test his theory of wireless power transmission.

One of the great mysteries of the twentieth century, the Tunguska explosion of 1908, is said to have been caused by Tesla's Woden Kriffotta wireless power transfer experiment.

So in 1903, after Gary Moore Marconi completed experiments with transatlantic radio transmissions, Morgan Sr. stopped funding him. And "coincidentally", in 1904 the U.S. Patent Office awarded the patent related to wireless telegraphy to Marconi instead of the real inventor Tesla.

After that, Tesla went from bad to worse. By 1920, he had all but faded from the public eye. The scientific geek, who has more than 700 patents, is now living on social assistance.

And after that, something happened that was extremely humiliating for him. The American Institute of Electrical Engineers (IEEE) awarded Tesla a medal and a prize to "help" him, and this medal is called the "Edison Award".

Instead of accepting the award, he fed the pigeons in front of the New York Library, which was across the street from the venue. The "funny" thing is that Thomas Edison attended the party in person with great interest. However, Nikola Tesla, who was forced by poverty, finally went to receive the "Edison Medal" and the prize money...... (Author's note: The above information is from the PBS TV documentary "Tesla's Autobiography")

Thinking of this, Yuan Yanqian, who originally felt a little guilty about the great inventor who fainted on the ground, suddenly felt cute. If Thomas Edison could humiliate Nikola Tesla so much, why couldn't he humiliate him to his face?

What's more, if you can humiliate others by doing good deeds, then the one who is humiliated must have something wrong with herself!

"I'm a doctor! Where is the patient? ”

"The patient is here!"

"This is ...... Mr. Thomas Edison? Can anyone tell me what's going on? ”

"Well, my father was quite emotional just now, so he fainted."

"Oh, then I'll use the sniffing salt first......"

"Ahh

"Mr. Edison, do you know where you are?"

"I'm in New Jersey...... FXCK！ I'm so! ”

"He's fainted again!"

"The air here is not good, so we will carry him out first...... Let's work together! ”

As if he had no idea of the commotion behind him, he calmly said to Old Mr. Baker: "We Cyris have an old proverb that it is only hypocritical flattery to send bright flowers to successful people who live in splendid mansions, but to send black charcoal to the hands of poor people in cold and dilapidated houses is a real good deed!" ”

Hearing this syris's proverb, the "Wall Street Miracle" couldn't help but be moved.

The old man didn't bother with the chaos in the house. He sat up straight and narrowed his old eyes, carefully looked at the young Chinese man in front of him, and finally said in a deep voice, "Mr. Neo-Yuan." You have just shown me your wisdom, but now you have shown me your noble ...... And, of course, the willfulness of a young man like you. ”

"I ......"

"Neo, listen to me." Our Master Yuan just wanted to refute but was seriously interrupted by this always gentle old man, "You can offend Thomas badly now, aren't you worried about his revenge?" ”

Yuan Yanqian asked rhetorically, "Mr. Baker, is it useful to worry about it now?" ”

"Of course...... Useless. George Baker suddenly smiled and said, "Then I'm testing you now, what should we do?" ”

"We ......"

Our Master Yuan felt strange in his heart, how could this old man say "we" when he should have asked "what should you do"?

He looked at old Mr. Baker who seemed to be smiling, and suddenly remembered Uncle Jobs in a flash of inspiration.

Since Uncle Qiao publicly admitted that he had pancreatic cancer, Apple's stock price has risen and fallen with his condition, and every time he leaves his job for surgery, the stock price has fallen by at least 5%. In other words, the cancer cells in his body can evaporate hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in stock market value.

And one thing Edison and Apple have in common is that both companies are built on the fame and health of a key person......

He blurted out, "We should short Edison's stock right now!" ”

"Hmm!" George Baker nodded and continued to ask, "And then?" ”

Our Master Yuan has never eaten ...... Well, that meat, I've seen that run. As a master's degree in economics with a professional background, he confidently said: "Then close the position, and then turn around and go long." At this time, the First National Bank of New York should come forward to announce that its holding company, NYPR, is ready to cooperate with Edison Company to enter the radio broadcasting industry and create the world's first truly commercial radio station! ”

Old Mr. Baker was even more satisfied with what he said, and he asked again, "So what?" ”

"Master ball, is the market I made myself considered to make money by using my foreknowledge?"

"Host, gladly informing you, doesn't count!"

"So......" Yuan Yanqian took out another check for 50,000 US dollars and handed it over with both hands, and said with a slight shyness on her face, "So I think it's time to open an account in your bank!" ”

"Hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

The two foxes, one old and one young, looked at each other and laughed.

After a long while, the old fox suppressed his laughter and said solemnly, "Neo, the door of my office and home is always open for you. Do you have anything to do with coming directly to me, you know? ”

The little fox replied very seriously, "Thank you, Mr. Baker." ”

greatly offended a great inventor, but was greatly appreciated by a great capitalist.

The gains and losses in this...... Needless to say?
