Rockefeller still did not understand the role of the leader.
The reason why the Junma Laboratory can continue to produce results is inseparable from Li Mu's correct guidance, at least Li Mu knows what direction can succeed and will not let the Junma Laboratory take a detour.
Sometimes Li Mu has to admire the whimsy of people in this era, such as "perpetual motion machine", which is a great idea.
"Perpetual motion machine" is a kind of machinery that can continuously move and do work externally without the need for external input energy, energy or only one heat source.
The idea of "perpetual motion machine" originated in India, no way, the third brother will always give birth to a lot of strange ideas, "perpetual motion machine" is just one of them, since the birth of the idea of "perpetual motion machine", countless scientists have wanted to realize this idea one after another, the most famous of which is Leonardo da Vinci.
After hundreds of years of research, some people have realized that the idea of a "perpetual motion machine" can never be realized, so the French Academy of Sciences announced in 1775 that "all designs of perpetual motion machines will no longer be examined by the Undergraduate Academy".
Well, the French are pragmatic, but the Americans are not.
From the first day of the birth of the Horse Laboratory, Li Mu received an application for a "perpetual motion machine", to be honest, Li Mu had never heard of this thing, since Li Mu had never heard of it in the 21st century, it means that this thing is probably impossible to succeed.
It was absolutely impossible to succeed, at least in the XIX century.
Li Mu naturally rejected this unrealistic project request, and instead looked for scientific research projects that were more suitable for the scientific and technological level of this era, such as the gramophone in front of him, such as the washing machine in the laboratory, which is more realistic than the perpetual motion machine.
Rockefeller is not like this, stimulated by the Horse Laboratory, Rockefeller also invested heavily in the establishment of the "Rockefeller Laboratory", as far as Li Mu knows, the first official project of the Rockefeller Laboratory is the "perpetual motion machine".
Perhaps Rockefeller believed that only by successfully researching the "perpetual motion machine" could the Rockefeller Laboratory be an instant hit, overpowering the Horse Laboratory in the field of science and technology.
Li Mu knew that after the Rockefeller Laboratory set up the "perpetual motion machine" project, he did not laugh at Rockefeller, nor did he dissuade Rockefeller, because it is useless to dissuade, successful people like Rockefeller are actually paranoid, but they have achieved success in a certain sense, so their paranoia has become a firm goal and strong will, such people cannot be dissuaded, they will stubbornly believe that their ideas are correct, and will not consider objective factors.
If you stick to the right path, then there is still hope for success, if you stick to the wrong path, then you can only go further and further.
Therefore, it is estimated that within a few years, Rockefeller can only envy Li Mu's Horse Laboratory, and when the independent centennial exhibition opens, perhaps Standard Oil can only pull out their derrick and send it to the exhibition.
It is not impossible, at the original Philadelphia World Expo, the Americans exhibited a 13-meter-high, 56-ton 1400-horsepower steam engine at the opening ceremony, which represented the most advanced industrial level in the United States at that time, even in the world, it was also a first-class level.
This will certainly not be the case now, and the organizing committee of the Independent Centennial Exhibition has decided that the finale of the opening ceremony will be the lighting system of the ZAMA Electric Company, for which the ZAMA Group has built a 15-meter-high Christmas tree with more than 1,000 light bulbs hanging on it, and 20 generators will be used to power these 1,000 light bulbs.
In fact, Li Mu hopes that the electrical laboratory can overcome the long-distance power supply technology, and then Junma Electric Company can fill the entire venue with light bulbs, and then light them up in an instant, I believe that the scene will be more shocking.
If Li Mu described life in the twenty-first century to anyone in the nineteenth century, then the people of the nineteenth century must have thought that it was heaven.
The display of the gramophone was a great success, and within just two hours, the ZAMA Group received 11 applications for authorization, covering the whole world, and this time the members of the "Beach Club" did not leave Li Mu with the opportunity to auction, even the most remote African markets have people who want to do it.
After hundreds of years of white strategy, Africa has become the back garden of white people, countless white people have settled in Africa and become local tyrants in Africa, these people are the main consumer force in Africa, they don't care about money at all, as long as they can prove the meaning of their existence, no matter how much money they spend, they don't feel distressed.
Of course, these authorization applications are only intentions, if you want to really implement the intentions, you need further communication between the two parties later, and there may be variables at that time, but no matter what, this is a good start.
"Colt's workers' representatives have settled down at the Junma Automobile Factory, and looking at the appearance of this group of dirt buns, even if they don't talk to them for ten days and half a month, they won't be in a hurry." When Grover faced Li Mu, he was completely different.
This is also normal, Grover is a lawyer, and Li Mu is Grover's financier, what do you say, lawyers are a profession that relies on playing with lips to make a living, this is the most clear.
"No, I'll be going to see them tomorrow, it's true that they're curious about everything about the Stallion Group, but behind them are thousands of workers in Colt who have lost their jobs, so I dare say they must not have slept well tonight." Li Mu's view is different from Grover's, for Grover, Colt's workers are just Grover's business objects, but for Li Mu, these thousands of skilled workers will be the wealth of the Junma Group, so Li Mu will not be dismissive.
Grover is not the only one sent to Hartford by the Stallion Group, even in Grover's team, there is also an inside line inserted by Li Mu, so although Li Mu is in New York, he knows the situation of Hartford well.
"Well, whatever you want, here's the worker's information, and it cost us a whole two thousand dollars to get this." Grover handed Li Mu a bag of documents, which contained information on all of Colt's workers, even the part that had been laid off.
Colt is now a standard tree, seeing that the ship is about to capsize, all the management is planning for themselves, although the key departments of the management are members of the Colt family, but when Colt was forced to close the door, they showed concern for Colt, even less than those ordinary employees of Colt, these materials should have been Colt's core secrets, but now it has become a sharp weapon for the Horse Group to pry the corner.
It's sad.
"Hehe-" Li Mu smiled at the information in his hand, and the mocking smile on his face was obvious.
"What kind of person is Wayne Henry?" Li Mu did not forget his negotiation opponent.
"I don't know how this guy's management ability is, because he has no real power in the position of general manager of Colt, and he doesn't count the business affairs, but Wayne Henry is very good at winning people's hearts, although Colt is bankrupt, but Colt's workers are still willing to trust him." Grover's statement does not contain his own opinions, only states the facts, and Li Mu wants to draw conclusions, so he has to rely on his own analysis.
Li Mu nodded with satisfaction, Junma Group's products have never lacked sales, so the management's management ability is not important, the important thing is to organize the production capacity, and can still win the hearts of the people when Colt goes bankrupt, which proves that Wayne Henry is a qualified manager, at least in terms of affinity.
Li Mu plans to reuse Wayne Henry, which is considered a thousand dollars to buy horse bones, the development of the horse group has reached a bottleneck period, and more talents are needed to join, so Li Mu needs to establish more "golden collar" image, and Henry alone is not enough.
Just like Li Mu said, this night was a sleepless night for the Colt worker representatives who lived in the guest house.
Unlike Colt, which has not changed for decades, everything in the guest house seems very new to these workers in Colt, although the name "guest house" does not sound very lofty, but because it is a guest house of the Junma Group, the standard is still very high.
Li Mu in his previous life was also a bun, so Li Mu did not have a specific concept of hotel star standards, but Li Mu knew the core concept of the service industry, that is, everything was centered on customer needs.
The rules of the guest house are implemented according to this standard.
There is a door at the door, a reception at the front desk, and a lobby manager in the lobby This is standard, and the decoration is not the pursuit of magnificence, everything is based on the premise of making guests feel comfortable, so the corridor lights in the corridor are definitely not dazzling, and the paintings on the walls are not a master's hand, more scenery and animals, these things can make guests feel as warm as home.
But after all, it is also a guest house of the Junma Group, so luxury is necessary, and it is all casual luxury, which can show the forced character of the Junma Group.
For example, the carpets in the hallway, although they look inconspicuous, are all fine Turkish hand-woven carpets, and people are comfortable walking on them, and for dirt buns like Hartford, their beds at home may not be as comfortable as these carpets in the hallway.
Wayne Henry, as the former general manager of Colt, still saw the big world, at least when the waiter delivered their luggage to the guest room, Wayne Henry didn't forget to tip.
Well, a dollar tip isn't too little, and Larry just looked straight at them.
Many of them used to earn only a dollar for a day's work.
Old Willie was still calm, and when he saw the waiter smiling and politely thanking him, he could only sigh gloomily in his heart.
