Although it doesn't feel very reliable, it is still necessary to pay enough attention to it, Li Mu, an arms dealer, can invest in education, and it is not unacceptable for a railway tycoon to engage in arms.

Later, Li Mu approached Chad and asked Chad to help him find out what Dick Anderson and Dylan Stevenson were talking about.

As the chief of police, Chad has his own news channels, and early the next morning, Chad ordered someone to reply to Li Mu, Dick Anderson and Dylan Stevenson did talk about the shares of the Springfield Arsenal, but the differences between them are relatively large, Dick Anderson wants to get Dylan Stevenson's shares, but does not want to cash in gold, but wants to exchange them with the shares of the United Pacific Railway Company.

It's funny, if Springfield's shares are still worth anything, railroad shares are now standard junk stocks, and it's no wonder that Dylan Stevenson would agree to such a suggestion.

With first-hand information, Li Mu no longer worries, and went to Kuobin Reservoir to inspect at noon, and took a train to Boston to inspect the laboratory in the evening, handing over all the follow-up negotiations to the negotiation team that had arrived in Springfield.

Henry is already very experienced in acquiring companies, and the negotiation team members of the Junma Group include lawyers, retired politicians, relevant experts, etc., in terms of professionalism, they are actually much more professional than Li Mu.

Although Li Mu arrived in Boston at ten o'clock in the evening, Franklin still held a dinner to welcome Li Mu, which made Li Mu feel very unhappy.

"Don't researchers all stick to their schedules? Will this affect their enthusiasm for tomorrow's work? Li Mu did not approve of Franklin's approach.

"Who said that? When we do research work, it is common to stay up late, and sometimes we can work for half a month in a row if we work overtime, and we eat and live in the laboratory, so this dinner is regarded as a holiday for researchers. Franklin disagreed.

To say that the scientific researchers in this year are indeed desperate enough, don't even think about the eight-hour work system, and there is no trade union organization to jump out to help the scientific researchers defend their rights, especially after Li Mu issued a bounty in the past two years, the enthusiasm of the scientific researchers has been greatly stimulated, and even leaders like Antonio Meucci or Franklin are working overtime, and others dare not relax at all.

"You should still combine work and rest, you can't overdraft your life for work, scientific researchers are priceless, they are the most valuable wealth of the research room, so you have to take responsibility, you can't let them work day and night, you have to rest when you should rest." Li Mu has never advocated overtime, and when he was a programmer in the past, Li Mu hated overtime.

Of course, if Li Mu is at work, the boss will give a huge bonus for a certain project, and maybe Li Mu will also take the initiative to work overtime, and the two are not in conflict.

"You're so merciful—" Franklin slapped the ass just right.

Li Mu glanced at Franklin in surprise, laughed and walked into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall is not a rented hotel, but a cafeteria located in the electrical laboratory.

It is said that it is a canteen, in fact, the decoration luxury and the service attitude of the practitioners are better than the hotel in this year, Li Mu attaches great importance to the laboratory, regardless of the cost, all the practitioners are hired from the hotel, from the chef to the waiter, they have only one task, that is, to let the researchers of these laboratories come to the canteen must have a feeling of home.

And there is not one such canteen, in order to facilitate the researchers to eat nearby and save the researchers' time, there is one such canteen in each laboratory, but the canteen of the electrical laboratory is the largest and most luxurious, so the banquet is chosen here.

The whole banquet hall was already full of people, and the layout here was similar to that of a normal restaurant, but now it is only necessary to put the tables together and spread a clean white cloth to become a Western-style buffet, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, Franklin also invited a live band, which made the atmosphere even more enthusiastic.

When Li Mu walked into the hall, the originally noisy and lively banquet hall suddenly became much quieter, whether it was a researcher he knew or a researcher he didn't know, they all paid attention to Li Muxing, which made Li Mu feel very useful.

It must be useful, the number of people in the hall has exceeded three hundred, and there must be someone who will be as famous as Runkel in the future, and Li Mu can gain their respect now, which is a great thing.

Well, scientists, it's still quite bold, it seems that some people came directly from the laboratory, and they are still wearing white coats for experiments.

Li Mu didn't care either, shook hands with everyone affectionately, and said a few more greetings to those who could call their names, putting on a full leadership posture.

It's rare for a big boss to come once, and he always has to say a few words habitually.

Li Mu was not polite, standing on the small stage in the corner of the banquet hall for ten minutes, and then wished everyone a pleasant night, and the carnival began.

Li Mu did not participate in the carnival, and went to take a walk outside the banquet hall with Franklin.

According to Li Mu's requirements, the Junma laboratory should be made into a garden-style laboratory, and the green area of the entire laboratory should reach at least 70% of the total area.

In order to achieve this goal, the Horse Construction Company, which was in charge of the construction task at the time, took great pains to transplant almost all the ancient trees in Boston to the Horse Laboratory, and planted more than four square kilometers of lawn in the laboratory area, which barely met Li Mu's requirements.

So every night, when night falls and the lighting system is turned on, the Horse Laboratory is definitely the brightest area in Boston, which has become a landscape in Boston at night, which is the envy of everyone.

Now Li Mu and Franklin are strolling on the lighted lawn.

It is said that the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the cool breeze is blowing, wandering among the ancient trees and the grass, you should talk about some things about the wind and snow, but if you listen closely, the things that Li Mu and Franklin are talking about are really ruining the scenery.

"How's Edison doing?" Li Mu still remembers that Edison snatched the patent that originally belonged to the Junma Group.

A while ago, Li Mu arranged for Henry to deal with Edison's laboratory, and then he left this matter behind, and now he happened to meet Franklin, Li Mu wanted to ask about the latest developments, and by the way, find out what Franklin's attitude was towards this matter.

Although Franklin followed Runkel's path, he was still a scientist, and Edison, whom Li Mu had to deal with, was also a scientist, so Li Mu wanted to confirm Franklin's thoughts, and he couldn't arouse Franklin's disgust because of this incident.

Unexpectedly, Franklin's attitude was even more fierce than Li Mu: "That bastard is to blame, a few days ago, the New York District Court ruled that the patent of the Edison laboratory was invalid, and our Junma Electric Laboratory applied for a patent first, and ruled that the Edison laboratory lost the lawsuit, but that bastard actually went around publicizing that we colluded with the New York District Court, which led to his Edison laboratory losing the lawsuit, in fact, just before the verdict was announced, I had sent invitations to all members of the Edison laboratory except Edison, Inviting them to work in our Junma Electric Laboratory is still very effective, and now Edison's laboratory is on the verge of closure, and they can't even get together the researchers to do the experiment. ”

Compared with the Horse Laboratory, the Edison Laboratory is indeed too domineering, although the ownership of all the patents developed by the Horse Laboratory belongs to Li Mu himself, but the reputation rights belong to the relevant researchers, and the relevant researchers will also receive rich rewards paid by Li Mu, which is a happy practice.

Edison is indeed greedy, all the research results made by Edison's laboratory belong to Edison himself, for example, the three patents related to power transmission applied by Edison this time, in the inventor column, Edison's name is filled, and in the everyone column, Edison's name is also filled, according to the news that Li Mu has now gotten, these patents are all researched by a person named Abel Melville, and Abel Melville receives a salary of ten dollars every Wednesday in Edison's laboratory. Although Abel Melville was quite accomplished in the field of power transmission and had developed three related patents, Edison's remuneration to Abel Melville was only one hundred and fifty dollars, and the sum of the three patents was one hundred and fifteen, which is simply jaw-dropping.

By comparison, you can see how high the treatment of the Horse Laboratory is.

At present, a recent college graduate can receive a salary of ten dollars per Friday in the Horse Laboratory, and if it is at the level of Franklin, the weekly salary can reach more than three hundred dollars.

Considering that the Stallion Lab is in Boston and the Edison Lab is in New York, you know how picky Edison is.

By the way, Abel Melville has joined the Stallion Lab as an intermediate researcher in the Electrical Lab, with a salary of one hundred and fifty dollars a week.

"He still dares to go around publicizing? Very well, let's also publicize it, highlighting how stingy this guy is in running the lab, and I'm going to make it impossible for him to turn over. Li Mu was ruthless, this was to completely defeat Edison, and then step on the rhythm of 10,000 feet.

In terms of publicity, Edison and Li Mu, who controls "Time Magazine", are certainly incomparable, and they are not heavyweights.

"That's right, we're going to make him pay, don't you know, when I knew about the treatment of Edison's laboratory, I couldn't believe that there was such a greedy person in this world, he was simply a vampire, and the existence of such a laboratory was a blasphemy against science." Franklin is still indignant.

That's right, Franklin knew this, and the other researchers must know it, and it won't be long before the entire American tech community will know.
