13 unlucky Tesla
But he shouldn't have been like this.
Because if Tesla can hold on to the patent, he will receive a $2.50 royalty from a horsepower alternating current.
What kind of concept was this, even at a time when alternating current was not yet fully widespread.
The Niagara Hydropower Station, which was built in 1897 and has been in operation for 100 years, is 100,000 horsepower, so if you calculate the value of it, it will be astronomical.
Edison's direct current business was hit hard and he used endless off-the-counter tricks, in addition to lawsuits, he actually went out of his way to buy places, instigated people to use alternating current to carry out the death penalty, and then bought newspapers to pour feces on Tesla's head.
To his disappointment, the isolated Tesla still did not compromise in the end, and he would rather give up the royalties for everyone to use for free than let the other party succeed.
In fact, if he is willing to compromise, he will also be the richest man in the world!
But this giant of science will never bow to the villain.
Edison naturally hated him even more because of this, and the logic of the robbers has always been that what I want must be given to me, and if you don't give it to me, you are a bastard.
So he became even more aggressive!
In 1917, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers actually awarded Tesla the "Edison Award", which will never be unintentional, this is a deliberate blockage!
The legacy of the trust endures, and his invention patents changed the world and the world.
When human civilization entered the 20th century, countless great figures appeared in the tide of scientific and technological outbreak, and he should have been the most shining one.
But who can believe that Tesla was put on his head by countless shackles during his lifetime, and his name was even deleted from the textbooks of the country where he was later born.
It's so unfair.
But that's the way the world is, unless you find reinforcements! You can use strong reinforcements to fight against power!
Tesla, which has lost Morgan's support, is now really at the end of its rope.
He had to come here with a hard time, he wanted to meet Curtis, because he had some good ideas, and he wanted to get some money to support his ideals.
But his reputation has long been smeared by the powerful groups.
Seeing this shy and ragged Tesla, the security of the motorcycle factory directly expelled him like a clown.
He defended in vain: "I'm Nikola Tesla, I'm a friend of Ford, and I have something to say to Curtis." ”
As a result, the security guard grabbed him by the neck and pushed him far away, and scolded: "I know you liar and god, our boss is not here, and he has nothing to say to you, get out of here!" ”
"Then when he comes back, can you inform him, this is my letter to him." Although Tesla was humiliated, he still maintained a polite attitude, but the ugliness of the bottom world was enough to destroy the self-confidence and dignity of any genius, and the security guard actually ripped the letter to shreds in front of him.
At this time, a New York Times reporter happened to pass by, and he took a picture of his embarrassment as if he were watching a joke.
Han Huaiyi saw this "joke" in San Francisco half a month later.
When they arrived, the old man Victor and the others went first.
Because Han Huaiyi wants to arrange the San Francisco dock, and then plans to go to Las Vegas to see the situation on the spot, and then rush back to New York to officially put into the development plan of the aircraft.
As for Ford, it was going to Detroit to improve the production line.
But at noon that day, Ford, who had already gone to Detroit, suddenly rushed back in a huff.
He pushed open Charlie's office and showed him the New York newspaper from half a month ago, and said, "Charlie, you can't sit and watch this happen." ”
The headline in the newspaper was "The Driven Stick Liar and the AC Killer", and the newspaper security guard was burly and strong, and Tesla, who was well-mannered, had a sad and panicked look in his eyes.
Curtis, who was picked up by Ford, was also annoyed and said, "This is definitely not my instruction." ”
"But this will not happen to any of my new Rome companies, and I will not hire such a person, who will damage our reputation!" Han Huaiyi said.
He was also angry, it was too bullying.
In addition to the security guards, the wording of this newspaper is also very confusing.
In later generations, online violence has caused harm to countless people.
Those who hide behind the keyboard are miscellaneous. Shattered and used bottomless language to humiliate people who have no grievances, vented their emotions, and reversed black and white, creating many tragedies.
But this newspaper has names and surnames, and he found them!
And Curtis's factory was humiliated by the New Rome logo shining brightly.
Han Huaiyi immediately stood up: "Marcheno is in charge of Las Garvey, Jiang Wenwu is in charge here, and the others will immediately follow me to New York." ”
He said to Jiang Wenwu: "You always have to be alone, don't be compared to Wei Litao, of course I hope this is a healthy competition." ”
"Yes, boss."
Han Huaiyi's second order was to immediately telegraph the old man Victor on Long Island, New York, to protect Tesla, and control the security guard and wait for him to return to deal with it. In addition, the reporter of the New York Times and the people in the distribution department were monitored.
Then Han Huaiyi took Yu'er and Xie Miao and them back to New York.
Ford was a little frightened when he saw him like this, and advised him to deal with it calmly on the road.
Han Huaiyi said: "I know, but I have to react correctly to the reputation of New Rome, as well as Mr. Tesla's feelings, and those who do bad things must be punished." ”
At this time, a large number of employees are leaving that "tower" of Tesla.
In their opinion, Tesla, which was divested by Morgan, poured by the newspaper industry, and humiliated even by the security guards, is no longer worth following.
It was also the day of the renewal of the Worden Crevert Tower.
With only $20 left in his pocket, Tesla watched with sadness as his career was ruined, and he couldn't understand why the world was like this.
While working at Edison's company, the bastard promised him a $50,000 bonus, but he didn't honor it after his career was successful.
It's obviously the bastard who lied.
After he invented alternating current, the U.S. government made the choice to put him in charge of designing and running the Niagara Hydroelectric Power Project.
But that bastard actually bought off some state officials and the media, and they continued to attack him with false words.
In addition, the guy even hired some gangsters to click cats and dogs with alternating current, and continued to slander him in the media.
And then there are still people who believe in these things.
He tried to defend himself, to the point of being unable to defend himself, to the point of notoriety, but what did he do wrong?
At this time, a group of people who had been waiting outside the door walked in.
The landlord of the land, Hausen, warned him that if he did not pay the due fees and settle the arrears within three days, he would evict him and demolish the place.
The local up-and-comer in New York is rude and hideous, and he is full of disdain for people like Tesla, and his tone is arrogant and rude, and he looks like he is going to eat him.
