"Is your brother okay?" Situ Nan asked Kuzdova.
"Not bad. He came to see us for three weeks, and Sava seemed to like him. Kuzdova laughed. Situ Nan can care about her relatives and prove that he still has a place in his heart.
"That's good." Situ Nan nodded, a little helpless, for several days, he still couldn't get close to his daughter, and he could only hug her for a while after she was asleep.
"Don't go to work at the radio station. If you can't let it go, in a few days, wait for the child to grow up before going to work. Situ Nan said softly and patted Kuzdova's hand.
"Okay." Kuzdova nodded in agreement. She hasn't been to the radio station for several months, and after having a child, she has spiritual sustenance, and Situ Nan will not be as lonely as before when she is not around.
"Naughty guy, be obedient!" Situ Nan ignored Sava's cry, pinched his daughter's little face, and left in Kuzdova's reluctance.
Back at the Oriental Mandarin Hotel, He Xiangu had some sad eyes and reported: "Hammer has come, in the reception room. ”
"Okay." Situ Nan walked straight in.
"Mr. Hammer, does your employer agree?" Situ Nan asked, and added, "It's been a long time since then." ”
"Yes, Mr. William, you will be able to get the oil from Baku in two months at the earliest." "But they have a small request, they hope that Chrysler will provide technical support and send no less than 20 engineers to Russia." ”
"No problem." Situ Nan agreed.
The Soviets spent $1.05 million on this old tractor line, and it was no problem to send technicians to the USSR.
"But—" Hammer hesitated, looking at Situ Nan with some embarrassment.
"Say it! Let's see what other over-the-top demands they have. Situ Nan sneered a little, knowing that Lao Maozi was not so good.
"It's not too difficult. It's just that in order to increase the production of the Baku oil field, we need to import a batch of oil well equipment. Of course, they can't pay the money for the time being, and if Mr. William is willing to cooperate, they can pay for it with oil. ”
Hammer explained.
"Oil for equipment? What a good thing, you can get anything in exchange! Situ Nan felt a little unhappy in his heart. Nor is there any objection to this deal.
The Baku oil field is the largest oil field in Europe, and in the former tsarist era, the only oil field that could compete with the American Standard Oil Company was the Baku oil field.
However, the owners of the Baku oil fields are the dynamite family, and the Rothschild family also has a stake in it. The Bank of France also lent money to the Baku oil fields, but after the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Baku oil fields were confiscated and became the most valuable thing in the Soviet Union.
In view of the large amount of materials that the Soviet Union could import from foreign countries every year, relying on the oil trade, they always wanted to restore and expand the production of Baku's oil fields.
If Situ Nan was right. A few years later, the Soviets dumped a lot of oil on the world market and became competitors to the Anglo-American oil companies, and the price of oil continued to fall, and the Western Petroleum Company and the American Chinese oil company were also affected by this.
However, even if Situ Nan intervenes to block it, it will at most delay the resumption of Baku's oil production, and it will not change the confrontation between the Russians and the oil giants led by Britain and the United States.
In short, it must be recognized the position and role of the Russians in the world energy market.
It seems that it is going to be "an enemy" again. Situ Nan thought of this. There is already a desire to continue working with Hammer. He hesitated for a moment and said, "The feasibility of this construction is quite high, and I am personally more optimistic." Concrete things. Talk to Occidental Petroleum! ”
"That's great." Hammer was overjoyed.
Hammer was a good friend of Lenin, Lenin was dead, and Hammer was not too confident in whether he would continue to receive preferential treatment from the Soviet authorities. Now, with the several important cooperation agreements reached with Situ Nan this time, he will definitely add a lot of points to the Kremlin, and he can continue to enjoy special treatment in the trade between the United States and the Soviet Union, and complete the expansion of his capital more quickly.
Compared with giants such as Ford and Situ Nan, Hammer feels small. After ending the negotiation with Situ Nan, he was full of hesitation and secretly determined to become a real tycoon.
After Hammer left. He Xiangu couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, why are you helping the Soviets to extract oil now?" Don't you hate them very much? ”
"It's just a mutual use, purchasing oil from Baku can save a lot of freight than shipping it from the United States, and the time is also much shorter, which can speed up our layout in the European market."
Situ Nan said lightly.
Now the Soviets have limited refining capacity. Working with them would also be beneficial to Western Petroleum to get cheap oil from the recovery of the Baku oil fields to supply to European refineries.
As for the fact that in the future, the Soviets will have hardened their wings, put aside the Western oil companies, no longer provide the original, refine the oil themselves, and dump the refined oil products.
"Oh!" He Xiangu nodded and said, it's not that she doesn't understand this truth, she just wants to talk to Situ Nanduo.
A similar case occurred in the trade between Nanhua and Japan, which supplied Japan with tens of millions of dollars worth of oil, rubber and other materials every year, and imported a lot of machinery and equipment from Japan.
Although they do not have a good relationship with each other, their common interests have led to an increasing trade volume between the two countries, and the ties between the two countries cannot be separated.
"By the way, what's going on with Cummins Electric these days? Gerrard? Has Swope contacted me? Situ Nan asked again, he had been thinking about Cummins Electric in his heart.
"Nope. Still, Nikolai? Mr. Tesla came to New York yesterday with plans to implement a great practice. He wants you to go. ”
He Xiangu said.
Gerrard? Swope didn't respond, and Situ Nan was a little disappointed, hearing Nikolai? Tesla was going to do a real job in New York, and he was interested, and asked with a smile: "Do you know what real yàn?" ”
"It seems to have something to do with radio transmission." He Xiangu said.
"Radio transmission? Long-distance wireless high-voltage transmission or wireless communication transmission? Situ Nan said vigilantly.
"I don't know."
"Then let's go check it out!" Situ Nan said with great relief.
Nikolai? When Tesla used to be in New York, every time it was really thrilling, Situ Nan secretly prayed that the weirdo wouldn't get into any trouble this time.
Nikolai? Tesla has hardly changed, still unkempt, with a slender face, a pointed chin, and the most attractive thing is the wise eyes. Quiet and clear, like a child, you could say he is not sophisticated. But it's easy to be impressed by his simplicity and seriousness.
On a hillside in Manhattan, New York, the Cummins Broadcasting Company's transmission tower, where the last broadcast signal to Europe was held.
"My friend, what are you going to surprise me today?" As soon as they met, Situ Nan smiled at Nikolai? Tesla Road.
"It's an interesting reality. Not long ago, I was moving from San Francisco to Asia. Now it's time to move the picture from New York to London. ”
Nikolai? Tesla said confidently, looking behind him at a tall antenna, straight into the sky, standing on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. The grinning sea breeze and the rough waves on the sea really have a bit of pride in changing human history.
Nicholas more than twenty years ago? Tesla had this idea when he invented radio, but later he was fascinated by the research of radio elegant piezoelectric technology. Setbacks have been setbacks, and many plans have had to be abandoned.
Not long ago, the success of the global radio broadcast gave him a lot of confidence, and after finishing the real broadcast in San Francisco, he rushed to New York non-stop. He wants to prove himself - Nikolai? Tesla is back!
"Picture transfer? Interesting! Situ Nan nodded, relieved. Now Cummins Electric is developing very well in the field of power generation and transmission, and is erecting high-voltage lines everywhere, and there is really no need for unrealistic radio transmission technology.
Radio technology is mainly used to transmit information and transmit energy. Wait for the next century!
Now Nikolai? Tesla is on the right path, Situ Nan's forward-looking and Nikolai? Tesla's genius combined, it will definitely dominate the field of TV and radar in the future. That huge market. Situ Nan has been thinking about it all along.
He encouraged, "Come on! Dear Mr. Tesla! ”
It's about to start, Nikolai? Tesla left Situ Nan on the side, and went into the launch tower by himself, tinkering with the machines he had carefully set up.
Situ Nan stepped aside, his eyes falling on Nikolai? Tesla's female assistant is Doroti? Skellett asked, "Miss Skellet, you are still so moving." Thank you for taking such good care of my friend. ”
"It's my pleasure." Doroti smiled elegantly, glanced at Situ Nan, and was secretly grateful in his heart, it was this young man who broke into the Black Rock Hotel. Thus changed Nikolai? The fate of Tesla, which also includes Doroti himself.
Maybe she didn't have much scientific talent, but put Nikolai? It's not easy for Tesla to be organized. What is rare and precious is that before he met Situ Nan, Nikolai? Tesla was so depressed that it was not able to pay taxes when the defendant went to court. This woman has never left her.
Now the days of embarrassment are over, Nikolai? Tesla re-emerged as a respected scientist and made more and more achievements in radio.
And Doroti also became Nikolai? The manager of Tesla's assets, Nikola? Tesla's stake in Cummins Electric is also managed by Doroti. The intimacy between Tesla.
"Miss Skellet, you-" Situ Nan was suddenly a little surprised to find that the lower abdomen of the woman standing in front of her was bulging, and it was not too obvious, so Situ Nan didn't notice it at first.
"Is it true?" Situ Nan asked.
"Yes." Doroti smiled happily and looked up at Nikolai, who was doing the real thing not far away? Tesla.
"His?" Following Doroti's gaze, he locked on Nikolai, who was busy with the technicians? Tesla.
"Yes." Doroti nodded, with a little pride in her eyes, and gently stroked her abdomen, her expression softened.
Nikolai? Tesla has a queen?!
Facing Doroti's affirmative eyes, Situ Nan was sure that the strange and Doroti's affection for each other had finally come to fruition, and it seemed that the old age of this amazing genius in history would not be as lonely as history and leave in a cold state.
"Great!" Situ Nan secretly applauded, if he wasn't afraid of affecting the real yàn, he really wanted to cheer on the spot.
"Congratulations! This is the best news, more important than the hellish real yàn. Situ Nan hugged Doroti excitedly.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of George, who was carrying out philanthropy in the Rochester countryside? Eastman, hoping that he would receive the TCM acupuncture massage recommended by Situ Nan to be effective. From the bottom of his heart, Situ Nan hopes that his friends will be healthy and happy.
Situ Nan no longer cared about Shiyàn, and discussed with Doroti with great interest about raising children.
"It seems that I have to work for Nikolai? Tesla's real room recruits more people, otherwise Nikolai? Mr. Tesla will be so busy that he can't even take care of his children's family in the future. ”
Situ Nan said with a smile.
His construction was necessary, and Doroti was delighted to hear it, and said, "I know a good man, his name is Deforest. He was the owner of a radio company in San Francisco and a prominent radio engineer. ”
Deforest?
This name sounds familiar, is it another great god?
Situ Nan reacted immediately.
Seeing that Situ Nan was interested, Doroti added: "Mr. De Forrest is the inventor of the transistor. Mr. Tesla admired the invention. Cummins Electric purchased the patent for the triode amplifier technology from Mr. De Forrest. Originally, Mr. De Forrest was going to join this time, but unfortunately he couldn't come because of the San Francisco company. ”
Speaking of this, Doroti looked sorry.
As soon as she said this, Situ Nan finally remembered that De Forrester was the "father of the tube" in history! Also receiving the award was Fleming, an electrical engineer from the United Kingdom who invented the diode.
Seeing Doroti's somewhat regretful look, Situ Nan said sensitively: "What? Is there any trouble with Mr. DeForster? ”
"Yes. His company in San Francisco is not doing well and seems to be in trouble lately. The partners embezzled the company's property. ”
Doroti explained.
Looking at Situ Nan, who had some eagerness in her eyes, she talked about De Forrest in detail.
Situ Nan was silent and listened carefully.
Basically De Forrester is Nikolai? Another version of Tesla, where the scientist went into business, failed in a mess. There's a chance to talk to that De Forrester. Situ Nan had an idea in his heart.
"It seems wise that Mr. Tesla's room should be entrusted to Miss Skellet's management. Is Miss Skellett interested in taking on a more important role at Cummins Electric? ”
Situ Nan invited. This Doroti was clever and knew that he was interested in De Forrester, and there was a faint hint in his words just now that he wanted Situ Nan to merge with De Forrester's company.
"Thank you. I still prefer to take care of Nikolai. I want to arrange a good qiē greatly. Doroti declined, touching her lower belly and smiling contentedly.
The real yàn was carried out for a short time. It was less than half an hour, and most of the time was spent debugging the instrument.
While Situ Nan and Doroti were sitting on the side drinking coffee, a burst of cheers suddenly came out of the transmission tower on the mountain, and a young technician rushed out and shouted, "It's a success!" It worked! We sent the pictures to London! ”
"What a nice lad! That guy was as crazy as his mentor, and sometimes he didn't get out of the room for months. Doroti laughed.
"Really?" Situ Nan smiled, he saw the young technician's yellow face, black and unkempt hair, a somewhat pale face, and pimples on his face. It's a bit childish.
It should be a Chinese engineer trained by William University, and then lucky enough to enter Nikolai? Tesla real yàn room. Except for the Chinese, the Japanese are not allowed to enter Nikolai? Tesla's real yàn room.
Although he didn't know the name of the lucky guy, Situ Nan was also happy for his growth.
"Congratulations, my friend!" When Situ Nan came to the launch tower, Nikolai? Tesla walked out with a red face.
"Thank you. This is a message that has just been sent from London. They received the pictures we transmitted. Look! "Nikolai? Tesla smiled and handed the telegram to Situ Nan.
"Good!" Situ Nan took a look, and the distorted handwriting on it should be Nikolai? Tesla's handwriting, just Nikolai? Tesla personally translated the telegram that came back from the UK.
It's a good thing to treasure and deserve!
After Situ Nan read it, he carefully put the telegram in his pocket.
"Isn't that something to be happy about?" Nikolai? Tesla saw that Situ Nan's face was flat, as if he was not surprised at all, so he asked.
"Of course, I'm happy." Situ Nan frowned, hesitated, and said, "This is a great practice, but it won't be of much use for the time being." It would be nice if it could be combined with movies. ”
Situ Nan looked at Nikolai expectantly? Tesla. Nikolai? Tesla rolled his eyes and immediately understood what Situ Nan meant.
In fact, movies are just pictures that are constantly played, using radio technology to transmit pictures, and then restoring these pictures, and then playing them one by one, isn't it the transmission of video?
"Oh my God, the movie that will be shown in New York in the future. It can be seen in San Francisco! "Nikolai? Tesla had a wonderful expression on his face and looked at Situ Nan with some surprise.
"Got it? It's not just a radio, it's a radio! Situ Nan smiled, in terms of technology. Nikolai? Tesla is a real genius, and a genius with rich associations.
"What a great idea. We should also add sound to the film. "Nikolai? Tesla nodded.
Speaking of this, Situ Nan couldn't help asking: "How is the study of sound films?" ”
"It's coming! I got a helper, the genius Mr. De Forrester, who was an expert in this area and helped me a lot. It's a pity that he couldn't come this time! ”
Nikolai? Tesla regretted.
"Which De Frestet? Didn't he study transistors? Situ Nan asked.
"That's right. That's him! What a genius he is! "Nikolai? Tesla was full of praise.
Situ Nan is still listening to Nikolai for the first time? Tesla looks up to a person so much, even if it is a big name. In his eyes, Edison, who is famous all over the world, is just a person with an average IQ.
"I'll have to tell him the news of the success." Nikolai? Tesla immediately returned to the real room under the launch tower and personally sent a telegram to San Francisco...... The news of the success of the real yàn was really released at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, and without Situ Nan's mobilization, reporters with a keen sense of smell in New York dared to come.
However, they didn't wait for Nikolai? Tesla, Doroti opened the press conference, and she also deliberately wore a coat. Cover up a bulging belly.
This was also done to protect Nikolai? Tesla, you know, journalists have little to no ethics to speak of, or their work ethic is not quite the same as that of ordinary people. So Nikolai? Tesla accepted Situ Nan and Doroti's proposal, and did not go to meet with reporters, trying to be quiet.
"What a nice woman." Situ Nan was pleased to Nikolai? Tesla Road.
"Yes. I can't live without her! She is the most important person to me! ”
Nikolai? Tesla said, remembering the scene along the way, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart.
Sufficient funds, a group of wonderful and glamorous assistants gathered around him, and a family, every time I think of these, Nikolai? Tesla realized that in addition to the real yàn, life is also colorful. He is happy with his current life.
"When you say the monitor, it's a TV, right? Scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States are also working on this technology, and a lot of results have been achieved. As far as I know, mechanical televisions were built very early. ”
Nikolai? Tesla Road.
Before this Atlantic crossing, picture transmission technology was already ripe. However, due to the limitation of transmission distance, it is not widely used in the world.
In the past, airplanes flew across the Atlantic, then radio broadcasts across the Atlantic, and now pictures were transmitted across the Atlantic. This is also the reason why this radio transmission of pictures across the Atlantic caused a sensation.
"In any case, our successive breakthroughs in radio technology are not only a testament to Mr. Tesla's genius, but also a sign of the prospect of more vigorous development of radio technology.
The next step is to establish a universal television broadcasting system to disseminate more information to the general public. We're going to trample Westinghouse and BBC under our feet! Become the king of the world! ”
Situ Nan said ambitiously, looking at Nikolai with blazing eyes? Tesla.
"Interesting idea. I won't spend too much time on that, though. "Nikolai? Tesla Road.
Technological improvement takes a lot of time and effort, and it also involves knowledge of industrial design, Nikolai? It's not that Tesla doesn't, but he doesn't focus on certain technological improvements, preferring invasive research: radiolocation measurement technology, for example.
"Okay. I need your genius brain, just give your idea to the engineers below, and they will work on the product step by step. ”
Situ Nan nodded.
Does he know Nikolai? Tesla's character will not focus on some technologies for too long, his mind is too developed, full of whimsy, so often after some technologies have made certain breakthroughs, they do not continue to study in depth and make actual products.
Nikolai? Tesla is also a relatively lonely person, unlike Edison, who used the name of the real yàn room to encircle the technicians around him, so even if others use his ideas to succeed, the credit will not fall to him in the end.
That's why many inventions throughout history have been associated with him, but it's often the engineers who have succeeded until the end.
The appearance of Situ Nan changed Nikolai? Tesla's one-man approach, coupled with the shrewd Doroti oversight, Nikolai? The technical team of the Tesshi yàn room is getting bigger and bigger, and it has gradually achieved remarkable results.
What is the TV system, Situ Nan is no stranger, although he doesn't know the specific technology, but he is familiar with how the TV system works, and he outlines the entire TV system in a few words, Nikolai? Tesla listened and thought, and Situ Nan's idea and existing technology corroborated each other, and slowly a general concept and design that was different from the current rudimentary TV system was conceived.
Nikolai? Tesla found that his imagination was rich enough, and at the end of each speech, Situ Nan would quickly summarize what those inventions were used for, how to make money quickly, and then enthusiastically encourage Nikolai? Tesla made that thing.
Despite the different emphases, the enthusiasm for new technologies is that of Situ Nan and Nikolai? The main reason why Tesla works together happily.
"Even though you know almost nothing about technology, you're very good at discovering their value. So you have outstanding results in business. "Nikolai? Tesla commented on Situ Nandao.
"Thank you. I hope you can do your best to develop a display tube with better performance, so that our TV system can be guaranteed. ”
Situ Nan said with a smile.
I hope to see TV as much as possible, even if it's a clumsy, black-and-white TV with poor contrast. He is confident in this. Nikolai? The Stella Yàn room has obtained more than 200 technical patents and more than 130 product patents in the field of radio.
The most obvious example is that in radio manufacturing, Cummins Electric overtakes Westinghouse Electric to firmly occupy the throne of the world's number one radio manufacturer, and is also the world's largest broadcaster.
Add to that the upcoming sound film technology, and even if it's a little behind in terms of TV systems, it's still eligible to bargain with Westinghouse.
The best result is that the U.S. wireless communication standard is dominated by Cummins Electric. Situ Nan thought secretly in his heart...... Situ Nan and Nikolai? Tesla had just finished discussing the topic of the TV system when Doroti came in with a spring breeze on his face.
"Done with those flies?" Nikolai? Tesla asked.
"Yes. I gave you a hard blow. Doroti laughed, looking at Nikolai with some doting? Tesla.
As expected, after a lot of hype in the newspapers, Nikolai? The name Tesla is back in popularity.
After just ending the global radio broadcast, Nikolai? Tesla's success in transmitting the picture across the Atlantic Ocean once again caused a sensation in public opinion, and for a while many honors were once again given to Nikolai? Tesla floated in.
Words such as the father of radio and the father of alternating current appear in major newspapers from time to time, and even the American Electrical Engineering Council has sent congratulatory messages. In short, it's a bunch of beautiful words.
Putting down the newspaper, Situ Nan smiled at Nikolai? Tesla said: "Now it is in our favor, if you want to take back the radio patent, I am confident that you can do it." This is what you should. (To be continued) RQ
