If Scrooge's awakening brought the most joy to anyone, it was Mr. Maxwell. To his delight, shortly after Scrooge woke up, there was one such conversation between them. Mr. Maxwell devoted all his energy to scientific research. There's no time for memoirs and stuff like that. However, Scrooge felt that it was a very meaningful thing for future generations to understand the life path of great scientists. So he moved Mrs. Maxwell to take charge of writing an autobiography for Mr. Maxwell.

According to the autobiography, the conversation took place half a month after Scrooge woke up.

"This morning, my husband went to the Salvation Hospital again to see Mr. Scrooge MacDonald. Find out about his recovery. Because someone has sued him before, an important reason for falling into a coma for a long time is the lack of blood supply to the brain. This condition often causes the death of a large number of brain cells. According to the results of Dashi Yàn's research in this area, once brain cells die, they cannot be regenerated. Therefore, this situation can easily lead to a decline in thinking ability. And the ability to think is simply too important for scientific research.

So James prepared a series of math exercises from shallow to deep and brought them to Mr. MacDonald. In his words, this is also a brain massage for Mr. MacDonald. Help him to do his best to restore his fù.

James came back at noon, and said to me with a smile on his face, 'Catherine, Scrooge has no problem at all, he's in good mind.' You know, after I took out a lot of questions today, Scrooge pretended to have a damaged head and couldn't do the questions, which really scared me. But Scrooge was a good guy and couldn't bear to lie to me anymore, and it didn't take long to get those questions answered. Although the topic itself is not difficult, Scrooge's speed is not fast. But I'm sure his brain is fine. I also talked with him about the UV disaster. Scrooge was so intrigued by this strange phenomenon that he even called Dr. Heim, who was on duty, on the spot, and asked him if he could be discharged immediately and go to the Dashi yàn room. Dr. Heim was a very strict and good man, and he resolutely stopped Scrooge's impulses and ordered him to continue to rest. And he also criticized me very unceremoniously, thinking that I disturbed the patient's rest. He almost called the security guards and kicked me out. But that's what a good doctor should look like. ’

Who knew that the next night, about eight o'clock, Mr. MacDonald suddenly came to my house. James was continuing his studies in the study on the second floor, while I was downstairs telling stories to the children. All of a sudden, we heard the sound of a car, and then there was a knock on our door. I was asking through the door, 'Who is it?' Outside, Mr. MacDonald's voice said, 'It's me, Scrooge.' Mrs. Maxwell, I have some new ideas and would like to speak with Mr. Maxwell. ’

I could tell it was indeed Mr. MacDonald's voice. So I opened the door and saw Mr. MacDonald standing in front of my house, surrounded by a crowd of big men dressed in black.

I'm sorry, but I can't take these people with me wherever I go now. Hopefully it doesn't scare the kids. Mr. MacDonald said to me.

I know that Mr. MacDonald is the biggest billionaire in the United States. When a person has money, it is inevitable that a large group of people will look at him with jealousy. Even a good man like Mr. MacDonald can make them jealous. This was the case with this assassination. So Mr. MacDonald had to take such a measure.

I sue Mr. MacDonald, James is now on the second floor. So he told the bodyguards to stay outside the door and followed me up to the second floor. I gently pushed the door open, and James was doing the math, not noticing that the door was open. Until I smiled and said to him, 'Honey, look who's coming?' ’

James pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and was speechless for a moment, and it took him a while to react and say to Mr. MacDonald, 'Oh my God, Scrooge, why did you get here all of a sudden?' ’

'Mr. Maxwell, yes. I think it's interesting that the formula you mentioned to me last time was not right at the UV end. I'm going to take those real yàn values and study them. I've found that if you look at light as small particles from another angle, as Sir Newton did, you get another formula. This formula agrees well with the real yàn number at the ultraviolet end, but on the long-wave side, it's another disaster. I think you might want to take a look at this formula. Mr. MacDonald said as he pulled a large notebook out of his coat pocket and handed it to James.

James looked at it for a long time, and finally said in confusion: "Well, this formula is also very interesting." However, is it an electromagnetic wave? Then the two of them began to discuss. As for me, I went down and prepared refreshments for them......

I've met a lot of scientists, and I know that they're the ones who forget about an interesting problem when they encounter it. Normally, I wouldn't bother them at this time. However, given Mr. MacDonald's physical condition, I don't think I can let them go any further. Because the time was close to twelve o'clock. James didn't know Mr. MacDonald and needed a rest, but I'm sure he wouldn't have thought of that at this time. And Mr. MacDonald himself certainly couldn't have thought of that. So I have to go and remind them.

I went into the study and I heard Mr. MacDonald saying, 'That's not right, look, if you explain it this way, there's going to be a problem like this, look at ......,' and I said, 'The problem is there, you look at it or not, it's all there.' But James, you should look at the clock too, right? ’

Ah, really, it's almost twelve o'clock. Oh my! I suspect Dr. Heim will rush to my house early tomorrow morning and scold me. James said, 'Scrooge, you have to go back.' Well, we don't have a clue about this question right now. Let's talk about it later when you have an idea. ’

Mr. MacDonald also stood up and said, 'Ah, I'm sorry to bother you for so long. Mr. Maxwell, I think we're going to just publish both formulas so that more people can help us figure out what the problem is. I've had a lot going on lately, and I'm afraid there's only a limited amount of time I can spend on them. It won't be long before I have more time to do the things I really love. ’

James and I were surprised to hear this. We know that Mr. MacDonald manages a huge business, but does he mean that he is going to give up the management of the business and focus on research?

'What do you mean, Scrooge?' James asked quickly. He had always felt that Mr. MacDonald's attempt to become a businessman was a waste of his talents.

'Wealth is not the most important thing compared to the search for nature's eternal secrets. It can be a help to help us explore, but if we put all our strength into the pursuit of wealth, we will inevitably lose a big one. And now I have enough money. It's enough to support me to do what I want to do. Mr. MacDonald said very sincerely.

During this time, I will hand over the business to Dorothea and Carol one after another, anyway, they are the ones who have been working on it for a while. Of course, there were quite a few problems between them. But now, I'm back. I can guide them in the back, supervise them. It won't be long before I can devote most of my energy to research. Still, pure sciences like physics and mathematics scare me. I still prefer things that are more directly related to the actual requirements of human beings. ’

That's what Mr. MacDonald said, and that's what he did. After that, we did find that he appeared in business a lot less. There are a lot more times when I appear in the big real yàn room. It is true that Mr. MacDonald spends most of his energy on electricity, agriculture, and medicine, but science and technology are sometimes like that, and when you work on something, you often don't get what you want, and on the contrary, you may achieve something in a direction that you don't particularly force......"

A few days later, Scrooge publicly announced to the press that he was tired of running a business and that he wanted to devote more energy to the study of nature. More of the family business will be managed by his wife and brother.

This was Scrooge's first step in disappearing from the stage. His wife and brother are not outstanding talents, but with him behind the scenes, there will naturally be no problems. Moreover, a series of actions by the entire family to shrink and consolidate their existing position can be understood by everyone. And the guy he cheated on us before can also make it impossible for us to attack him for a short time. If we don't do it, who can really challenge the MacDonalds? So, the consolidation of the MacDonald's position is almost certain. ”

"So Mr. Morgan, what are we supposed to do?" A banker asked.

"Scrooge would use tricks like guò cross-holdings to make the family's manipulation of the economy more and more invisible. And in the process, we can easily get a piece of the pie in some of his industries. However, don't get too deep in it for a short time, or even a considerable period of time, and don't try to fight for control. Because every business in it, its upstream and downstream are controlled by MacDonald, and even, they will not be unique. No matter which one you want to control, Scrooge can make every effort a joke by holding you up and down the river after you've spent a lot of money and propping up another business that is ostensibly competing with yours. I know that Scrooge will soon instruct someone else to come up with a set of antitrust legislation, so that it won't be long before he is forced to split MacDonald Steel, MacDonald Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals into two, or even three, as if he was being persecuted. It may seem that the McDonald consortium is shrinking, but in fact, is this not a new expansion? ”
