Chapter 389: The Old Demon Woman Is Doing Trouble Again
"You know very well the commercial value of high-voltage power transmission and transformation technology and radio information transmission technology, and with the old Morgan intervening in it, our profits will suffer a huge loss. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Huang Xiaolei said to Tesla.
"With all due respect, if you want to expand the U.S. market without letting Morgan Sr. get involved, you're going to have a lot more trouble than you think." Tesla said.
"Is this true even for us with the most advanced battleships?" Huang Xiaolei said.
"Well, I don't know much about politics, I'm more interested in what do you want from me? Are you still immature in these technologies? Need me to perfect them? Tesla asked.
"No, these technologies are very mature, in fact they are almost obsolete in our own country. We asked you to work with you because you are the only one who can understand these things at the moment, and you know the value of these things better than Edison's stubborn madman. Huang Xiaolei said.
"Technology that is about to be phased out!? God, have you been a century ahead of the world in technology? Tesla exclaimed.
"Almost, I can't say it either, I'm just a lawyer, and I don't know much about technology." Huang Xiaolei returned Tesla's words.
"In fact, it was Morgan Sr. who instigated my trip to the Far East, and he was also interested in what you have in your hands, and I was just playing the role of an evaluator in this transaction. Well, the old slippery man promised to fund my research on the wreckage. So if you want to bypass him and work with me, I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult. Tesla said.
"We're not going to get around that old slippery head, we just don't want to work with him on projects related to models and drawings that you have in your hands. Rest assured, we will give him enough benefits and pressure to allow you to obtain the exclusive right to cooperate with us. Huang Xiaolei said.
The traversers were confident that Morgan Sr. would not get involved in their partnership with Tesla, a total speculator whose main business was finance. Although the business of the later Morgan consortium involved many industrial fields, the main achievements of the old Morgan were still concentrated in the financial field.
Traversal will have plenty of money to invest in industry, but it's a drop in the bucket to save an empire that is about to fall. What can be done to make these funds roll faster? The answer is to get these funds into the financial markets!
And who were the best traders on Wall Street in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries? Don't think about it, it's John Pierpont Morgan, the elder Morgan who was later known as "the creditor of the world".
They need a trader with a wide network of contacts who can monetize this information, and now there is just such a person who can help them connect with this old slippery head, how can this opportunity be missed?
Now the elder Morgan is already a financial predator who can call the wind and rain in the United States and North America, but he has not yet brought the Morgan alliance to the peak state, and the crossers still have the opportunity to board this ship, and the Morgan system, which had a total capital of 74 billion US dollars before the great panic, that is, equivalent to 1/4 of the capital of all enterprises in the United States, to increase the strength of his own treasury.
"Is there anything else you're interested in?" Tesla asked.
"Yes, and it's a lot. Come on, sign this agreement, and we'll take care of the rest. Saying that, Huang Xiaolei handed over the prepared contract.
Compared with an old slippery head like Morgan Sr., a science madman like Tesla is much easier to control. Companies in the telecommunications industry, such as ITT (International Telephone and Telegraph Company), Transamerica Cable, Postal Cable, and AT&T (American Telephone and Telegraph Company), which were controlled by the Morgan system in the future, are in conflict with the projects that Traversal now wants to cooperate with Tesla. The traversal intends to sell a part of the benefits that belonged to the old Morgan in the original time and space in exchange for their monopoly in these industries.
Mining, railroads, and metal smelting are the core interests that the elder Morgan cannot touch, and the radio communication and high-voltage power transmission and transformation projects that have not yet formed the climate should still be on the list of interests that he can sell.
Tesla soon signed his name on the agreement, and unlike him who repeatedly fought for his radio patent rights in the courts, the current electromagnetic god no longer believes that he should get that damn radio patent after seeing the model and broken drawings provided by Huang Xiaolei. The achievements of the Great Song people in this field are incomparable to him, compared to the technology that the Great Song people are now mastering, he is just getting started, and he will feel blushing when he talks about any patents.
Huang Xiaolei had just made a gain here, and Tian Buzi had an accident over there, well, it should be said that it almost happened, and the sniper rifle in Everett's hand had killed the assassin before he could finish his shooting action.
As a professional killer, Tian Buzi actually pulled out his pistol faster than the assassin, but the limelight was still snatched away by Everett, who was focused on the dock scene. In the confusion, the indigenous task force left the scene around Tian Buzi, and the people around him did not know whether Tian Buzi was injured or not.
The first to express his stance on this assassination incident was actually Mao Zi, the Russian minister to China Kasini immediately condemned this kind of assassination of diplomatic envoys, Mao Zi's intention to clear up the involvement could not be more obvious, although they and the Great Song Dynasty are still at war, but they dare not carry the pot of assassinating diplomatic envoys.
Tsarist Russia has diplomats all over the world, where can they really bear this black cauldron? The Great Song Empire has an embassy and consulate agency in the British Concession, and the Great Song Dynasty people play the game of scolding each other's diplomats, isn't this looking for death!
Then the footpot chicken sold the man in order to clear his identity as a suspect. During the Sino-Japanese War, they deciphered the crappy telegraph code of the Manchurians, and also inserted a lot of spies in Bei'an, and soon shook out the evidence that the old witch had instructed the assassination. Hide it and don't say it? What kind of international joke, last time a stupid X ronin made them pay five more points in war reparations with one shot, if the dirty water is splashed on themselves again this time, who knows how much money they will lose? It's better to die and be poor, besides, the Manchurian is not even a Taoist friend to the footbasin chicken.
"Hao Dajian, I told you a long time ago that you don't set up a flag blindly, now it's okay, Tian Buzi is really jumping!" Da Chen Yongqing complained.
"It's us who jumped the assassin, okay, can your sister blame me? Killer Tian loves to put on a show, what kind of coffin to send to the dock if he has nothing to do? Hao Dajian said.
"Stop arguing, let's talk about how to deal with this. Last time the old witch burned our clinic, we were too low-key to have this kind of thing, and this time we can't just forget it! Zhao Yi said that in his opinion, attacking the Zhili Governor's Office and kidnapping Rong Lu as a retaliation was low-key enough.
"What else can I do, blow her up, I think I'll be fine if I hide in the palace? Holy! Hao Dajian shouted.
