Chapter 44: Gathering of Famous Scholars (Revision)

Hearing the questioning, Herbert. Oliver. Yardre stood up and replied respectfully. His income, like all those who have not yet made a name for themselves, is quite meager.

"$900, sir. I was paid $900 a year. ”

The annual salary of such a person is $900. It was too embarrassing to put him in the "Chinese Association" in the United States to work as a commercial newspaper operator, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Yunyang had already thought about where to arrange for him.

"Too little, too little, too little. In terms of your talent, this number should be multiplied by at least 10, what do you think? But ......"

Hearing the turn in Tang Yunyang's tone, Herbert. Oliver. The red tide of excitement on Yardre's face dropped a little.

"But? Sir, do you have any other requirements? If you promise to pay me $10,000 a year, I can do whatever you want! ”

Tang Yunyang laughed and patted him on the shoulder as if soothingly.

"Maybe I will arrange for you to do the following things, first, train a skilled operator who can use passwords like you; Second, set up a special agency to crack any code we need to know; Finally, if you need to, you might leave the U.S. and work in the Pacific Ocean or somewhere, can you do that? ”

"Multiply by 10? Oh my God, I have finally met someone who appreciates me! As for what you ask of me, sir, there is no problem at all! You see, I'm not married, I'm still single, whether it's a small island in the Pacific Ocean or anywhere else, it's all right. Sir, I am very adaptable! ”

"Okay, we're done!"

Tang Yunyang nodded, he could understand the excited young man. Just think about it, the annual salary is now 10 times that of the past, and probably everyone thinks the same way.

"It's amazing to work on him for 20 years, and you can go back to the United States to get away!"

When Herbert. Oliver. After Yardley followed the maid to his temporary quarters, Mike . The sound of Lang talking in the living room attracted Tang Yunyang's attention.

"Really, I guarantee that if you work with our company, your company will grow significantly in the next few years......"

Hearing this voice, Tang Yunyang shook his head and smiled.

Mike. Old wolf, this guy is not sleepy, and it seems that as long as he can make money, then all other problems are not a problem for him.

Just like the question of the Red Baron Richthofen's stay, when Tang Yunyang told him that if Richthofen could stay, then he would save the Batavian side a considerable amount of money in training pilots. Lang took on this task naturally.

Later, under his pestering of people wanting to die, the red baron Richthofen had no choice but to agree to stay for a few more days. This stay was left until the German crown prince agreed to Tang Yunyang's deal, and like Guderian, he was "leased" to Tang Yunyang for three years.

But when Tang Yunyang turned his head and wanted to look at Mike. When Lang was trapping someone again, he was stunned.

"Mr. Edison, it is truly remarkable that you are known as the King of Inventions. But I have also observed that the promotion of your business also requires the support of large sums of money. It's a time of war, and who will invest more in you, except for arms manufacturers? But we're also very interested in your other new inventions! Our group is a company dedicated to bringing new applications to the world, if you ......"

Who is this, it is the amazing invention king who invented about 2,000 pieces in his life - Edison.

"Oh, Mike. Mr. Lang, I think you may not understand that if you mean money, I am not very lacking. I'm here today just to meet the young man who built the whole radio broadcasting system, and to be honest, I've always been very interested in it! ”

Tang Yunyang looked at Edison, who was nearly 70 years old at this time, but he still maintained his vigorous energy. Including the speed and content of speech, it is not only clear and fast.

"Thomas. Alva. Oh my God, Edison, I never thought I'd be here to see you, it would be the most honorable moment of my life! ”

Edison's words were interrupted, and there was a look of great admiration in his eyes as he looked at the young yellow man who welcomed him. It made him feel very curious, because he asked himself that he had never seen the person in front of him.

"Do we know each other?"

"No, Mr. Edison, we don't know each other, but you are the great inventor I most admire!"

"You're too famous!"

Obviously, Edison never thought that he would have such a "fan" as Tang Yunyang. Lang took the opportunity to introduce the two.

"Mr. Edison, this is the Don you came to see him. Our company's wireless broadcasting system was completely developed under his vision! ”

Faced with the person he was looking for, Edison was more curious.

"You're Don, I really, it's not easy for you to put together so many useful things to create such a very effective medium as radio broadcasting. But I never thought you would be a yellow man and so young! ”

After the two shook hands, the black maid of the house brought them coffee, and the formal conversation began.

"You may be seated, please be seated, and I am ashamed to say that although I am a loyal admirer of you, it is a pity that I have no ability to invent it.

But I have a relatively special talent, such as putting together some of the current inventions and making them something that is needed and accepted by some kind of society. ”

When Tang Yunyang said this, his face was feverish. Edison's sentence "Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent blood and sweat" When he was a child, he listened to it almost every day.

Unfortunately, he's a simple-minded, well-developed fellow. He was never a good student, otherwise he wouldn't have to be a soldier in the end. Although his life as a special forces soldier in the army stimulated his potential, he still had no talent for learning scientific knowledge.

When he faced Edison, he used this set of rhetoric entirely because he had already figured out Edison's psychology.

Such a person will not lack money in the United States, nor will he lack help. But what he lacked was someone who could find an application for his inventions. Otherwise, Edison's original invention would not have failed because it had no future of social application.

As for the entrepreneurs at that time, their eyes were naturally limited to the social environment at that time, and they could not see the changes after a hundred years.

For example, the person who invented the television set would never have imagined what the television culture would become. Just like in 1945, when computers were first created for scientific computing, no one would have imagined that online games would be created decades later.

And these Tang Yunyang, who have more "knowledge" than them, are definitely blessed with unique "talents". Sure enough, Tang Yunyang's statement aroused Edison's interest.

"Really, you really have such a talent?"

In the face of Edison's doubts, before Tang Yunyang could speak, Mike on the side. Xun has already begun to sell endlessly, as if Tang Yunyang is about to expire and deteriorate, and if he doesn't sell it, it will become a difficult problem to solve.

"Of course, Mr. Edison, how else could the radio system be the hottest media of the moment? If you have something to promote, there may be difficult inventions, I believe our company can plan the best development direction for all your inventions! ”

"Is that so?"

Edison frowned, although it was a desirable way to give some of the inventions that had already been created to them to promote the design, but this would inevitably affect his own profits.

In particular, exploring how something that has already been invented can be better applied is also a pleasure for inventors.

So he groaned, saying that this was not his idea at all. Of course, this can't hide Tang Yunyang's eyes, and what he himself prepared for Edison is not such a "gift".

"Or, if you can trust me, we can sign an agreement. But you tell me your idea, and I'll design the market application and promotion of your future inventions. This way your invention will be more useful and won't drain your energy.

As for me, you give me preferential use of the patent right. Even if you are not satisfied with the plan I have designed for you, then we will keep these ideas a secret! What do you think of that? ”

Tang Yunyang's idea really piqued Edison's interest, after all, he will be 70 years old this year. If you can't use your time more efficiently and create more inventions. So for him, it's a very sad thing.

And what the other party is giving him now is such an opportunity, an opportunity to conduct market analysis, planning and exploration in advance. Then to use his less and less valuable energy was definitely a very useful suggestion for him.

Mike on the side. Lang, at this time, in Edison's eyes, was a common American businessman, the kind of businessman who drilled everywhere. But Tang Yunyang is a completely different kind of person, a visionary person.

"Mr. Tang, I have to say that I am very interested in your suggestion. Of course, I have also heard that many of your company's products have been created under your guidance. If possible, I think or I can go and visit, and then we'll decide the rest, what do you think? ”

"Mr. Edison, it is a great honor for us at MPM Military Industrial Group to have your visit, so when do you plan to go?"

"Mr. Tang, as such a successful businessman, I know that your life must be very busy. So, if it's convenient for you, can we just go? ”

In fact, the MPM military industrial complex does not have any real industry in the United States, and the only thing it has is a factory that produces large "H" airships for the rapid expansion of air shipping capabilities.

Visiting here made a very good impression on Edison. Whether it was the "H" airship or the assembly line that produced them, he understood that the young man in front of him was indeed a guy worthy of cooperation.
