Chapter 50: Rudolf Diesel

After arranging for Aurel Vlajku to develop a practical aircraft, Eder continued to look at the document in front of him, which was a message about Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine.

When he set up the power lab before, Eder also sent an invitation, hoping that the genius could come to Romania to work. But Rudolf Diesel at that time did not lack funds and did not agree to Eder's invitation. Now that the genius inventor has lost a lot of money by investing in stocks, he is already on the verge of falling into trouble, and maybe it's a good opportunity.

This time, Edel called the chief of the guard, Calust. "Calust, you have sent two men to Augsburg to invite Rudolf Diesel to Romania again."

"Yes, Your Highness. What about the treatment of this inventor? The chief of the guard asked, the last time the crown prince offered the inventor an annual salary of 100,000 marks, and his improved diesel engine received a 2% royalty, which did not impress the inventor. Now that the crown prince has invited again, Calustre is a little unsightly.

The crown prince knew very well what the chief of the guard was thinking, but it was all innocuous and trivial. It is normal for there to be a few geniuses, and Eder can tolerate their petty tempers as long as it is beneficial to Romania.

"Calust asked the invitee to bring this letter, and I'm sure Rudolf Diesel will agree to it this time." Edel picked up a letter on his desk, handed it to the chief of the guard, and spoke.

The chief guard took the letter and walked out of the room to arrange for someone to invite the inventor again.

Edel watched the chief guard leave the office, picked up another document in his hand and shook his head helplessly. It reads the news that Academician Molonir of the Power Laboratory was injured by flying parts during an oil extraction machine improvement experiment. The only Romanian power researcher who could take his hands was injured, leaving Eder to find the inventor of the diesel engine again. Hopefully, this will change his fate and strengthen Romania's scientific and technological prowess.

On this day, Rudolf Diesel arrived early in the morning at the factory on the outskirts of Augsburg, where the inventor was suffering greatly from the recent turmoil of the financial crisis. Due to the large purchase of stocks in the past, the result was a sharp depreciation in the financial crisis, and the promotion of diesel engines in automobiles was not favorable, and now the huge losses have made Rudolf Diesel live every day.

Not long after Rudolf Diesel went to work today, the secretary came in and said. "The boss has two gentlemen looking for you, and they say they are from Romania." When Rudolf Diesel heard the secretary's words, he thought for a moment and knew their purpose.

Romania invited him once two years ago and gave him a good treatment. But at that time, Rudolf Diesel had his own business, and it was not bad. I was not interested in working for others, so I refused. I don't know what they're trying to do this time, but we can take a look.

"Invite them in and pour me three cups of coffee." Rudolf Diesel said to his secretary. The secretary let two visitors from Romania in, brought out three cups of coffee and closed the door.

Rudolf Diesel asked first after the secretary closed the door. "I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?"

In the face of Rudolf Diesel's question, the visitor sitting in the chair on the left was the first to answer. "Hello Mr. Rudolf Diesel, my name is Mark Sicouslo." He gestured to his companion and continued. "This is my companion Snoff Rothriva."

"We came here today to hear that Mr. Rudolf Diesel has been in a little trouble lately. We, the Crown Prince, believe that a great inventor like Mr. Rudolf Diesel should not be disturbed by such mundane things. It's a good idea to focus on more important things, such as improving diesel engines even better. ”

Rudolf Diesel listened to the Romanian named Marc Sicusló chattering to accept the Romanian invitation. In his heart, he is still a little resistant, no one is willing to help others work, and Rudolf Diesel is no exception. If it weren't for the financial pressures now, Rudolf Diesel would have rejected them like he did last time.

"Then what treatment will you crown prince give me?" Rudolf Diesel asked after Mark Sikuslo had finished. He also wanted to hear about Crown Prince Eder's conditions, and if the conditions were lucrative, it would not be unacceptable.

After hearing Rudolf Diesel's heart-relieved words, the two visitors looked at each other and were secretly happy in their hearts. Or Mark Sicusloch. "We don't know about this, but our Highness has specially given you a letter, and I believe there should be a description on it." With that, he took the letter out of his underwear pocket and handed it to Rudolf Diesel.

Rudolf Diesel took the letter and opened it, and it showed that the Crown Prince had greeted him, and it was also mentioned in terms of treatment. An annual salary of two hundred thousand marks,. In addition to the 2% royalty. In other words, Rudolf Diesel designed a diesel engine, and he could get a royalty of 2% of the selling price. At the same time, he was invited to serve as the director of the Romanian Power Laboratory, and he will receive no less than 3 million marks of funding for research every year

After reading the letter, Rudolf Diesel was shocked by Crown Prince Eder's generosity. You must know that according to this condition, Rudolf Diesel's financial situation will improve, and there is no fear of bankruptcy. Own factories do not have so much profit for a year. Now Rudolf Diesel is really moved, but he still has to be reserved in terms of face.

"Let me think about it," said Rudolf Diesel to the two visitors, folding the letter and putting it in his jacket pocket. When the two of them saw Rudolf Diesel's movements, they both knew that he was already moved, and they didn't urge them to stand up and prepare to leave.

"Then we will wait for your reply, we will stay at the Bilik Hotel, if there is anything to come to us, take our leave." After Mark Sikuslo said goodbye to Rudolf Diesel, the two left.

Rudolf Diesel returned home and told his wife what had happened today. The wife said very kindly. "Diesel is much better than your current factory, and you don't have to worry about whether there is a bank to collect the debt."

With the support of his family, Rudolf Diesel finally decided to sell the factory to someone else and do his own research.

On the third day, Rudolf Diesel agreed to Eder's invitation and promised to leave for Romania in a month's time. To the delight of Eder, who got the news, Romania finally has a real power expert.
