Zhao Chuanxin twitched the corner of his mouth: "150,000? What is 150,000 good for scientific research? I am not an old Morgan, and I am just searching for it. 1.5 million is just idle, and I am willing to spend 15 million if it can produce results."

Nikola Tesla was not a saint after all. Hearing this, his heart beat faster: "Is this true?"

In recent years, Nikola Tesla has gone too far.

He felt that if he could no longer find investors, there would be no hope for him to turn around in his life.

Zhao Chuanxin’s ugly words came first: “Investment money is not your money. Investments are all used in scientific research. Your salary is calculated separately.”

After hearing that he liked to gamble, Zhao Chuanxin had to emphasize this point.

"How to calculate salary?"

Zhao Chuanxin hesitated for a moment.

How much is Nikola Tesla worth?

Needless to say, a lot of money.

He considered: "Do you want a fixed salary, or do you want results only?"

Nikola Tesla has accepted investment before, and it was not such a hassle.

Just give the money and that's it.

Food, clothing, housing, transportation and research and development all come from here.

For example, the money Morgan gave him was like this, which later led to him owing money to the old Morgan.

He babbled: "What do you say?"

"I'll give you a fixed salary of 1,000 US dollars per month. The only result theory is commission, and you will be paid based on the results. If you invent two things in a month, it may be 10 or 20 times the fixed salary."

Nikola Tesla's eyes suddenly lit up.

If he starts his own company, he may not have this benefit.

No matter which one you choose, you seem to be making a lot of money.

"That's it? No other requirements?"

"What are you thinking about?" Zhao Chuanxin put his hands on his waist: "I can hire you until the day you die. However, from now on, the signature belongs to you and the patent belongs to me."

"This..."

Patent fees are also very valuable.

If something great is developed, it can last a lifetime, just like Edison's incandescent light bulb.

Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Chuanxin sneered: "Not only that, some things can't even be patented. Maybe I can only use them, or they can be used on a small scale, and you won't even get a reputation."

Nikola Tesla is 51 years old.

Although he doesn't think much about his old age career, Zhao Chuanxin's proposal is really tempting.

If Zhao Chuanxin is really willing to hire him until the day he dies, at least he will have enough food and clothing.

Nikola Tesla asked: "Is there a third option?"

Zhao Chuanxin bared his teeth: "The basic salary is 300 US dollars, and there will be a commission when the results are announced, and the commission will be converted into 50%."

"I choose the third option."

Both of them seemed a little sloppy, and Zhao Chuanxin always felt that there was something wrong with him. He said, "I'm going back to the East in a few days. Are you going to follow me or stay here?"

"Where are I going with you?"

"China, Gobi Desert."

Very early on, Zhao Chuanxin had an idea that he thought was unrealistic.

Because war will break out in the country sooner or later, he needs a secret base, a place where important supplies can be stored without giving up.

When he heard that he was going to the desert to make inventions, Nikola Tesla frowned: "I have always had an idea to draw energy from nature, change the environment and seasons, and create infinite life..."

"Stop it, you chose that place just because it has a vast land and few people, and it will not be affected by war within twenty or thirty years. What creates life in infinity is getting further and further away."

Many people think that Nikola Tesla is like a clown from a circus because he speaks so freely.

Although Zhao Chuanxin knew that he was talented, he couldn't let him do whatever he wanted.

Nikola Tesla was displeased: "Don't interrupt me before I finish speaking. I want a place with thunderstorms like the mountains of Colorado, not a cloudless desert. Marconi has completed

I have invented transatlantic radio transmission, and the scope of my invention is even wider. The ionosphere in the atmosphere is full of electrical charges, and I want to obtain and convert this electrical energy around the world, and then transmit it wirelessly to every corner of the world.

”

Zhao Chuanxin has a toothache.

This sounds unreliable. Can it be studied until the day he dies?

He said: "Nicholas, you know, I have been very aware of current affairs since I was a child. For example, I know not to go against the wind when urinating, otherwise I will be peed on my face."

Obviously, Nikola Tesla was confused by the "South China Sutra"-style persuasion.

"What does this have to do with radio?"

"What I mean is that if you forcefully implement a lofty dream that has no foundation, you will probably get pissed off. How about we take it step by step?"

If it doesn’t work in the Gobi Desert, then it won’t work outside the customs either.

There is Tsarist Russia, which is eyeing it, and little Japan, which is always coveting it. Thirty years later, there will be a big war waiting for Zhao Chuanxin.

If one thing is not good, the thing developed will be useless to the enemy.

Zhao Chuanxin would not make such a mistake despite knowing the history.

The satellite launch base of later generations is located in the Gobi Desert, which may not be without these factors.

Zhao Chuanxin felt that he could not think of a solution for a while, so he said: "I still have six days. Can you wipe your butt with gauze and show me your hand during this time?"

If he really hired this old man, it would be inappropriate to keep him in the United States, and there would be nowhere to place him when he was brought back, so Zhao Chuanxin still felt that he would have a look at the quality first.

If a person loses his usefulness when he gets older, there is no need to worry about it.

Nikola Tesla did not flinch. He pointed at the Thor's hammer that Zhao Chuanxin took back: "Then you have to give this to me."

Zhao Chuanxin subconsciously covered his wrist.

Even for his apprentices, he is only willing to give him a bright lantern flower, let alone outsiders.

When Nikola Tesla saw this, he said displeasedly: "You want the horse to run without giving it grass to eat? I need it. I think I can modify it into a remote control device."

Modification?

Zhao Chuanxin held his hands tighter.

Last time, a weirdo modified the Blue Ghost Armor and returned a semi-finished smart gyroscope.

Fortunately, by accident, the smart gyroscope and Zhao Chuanxin cooperated, making it stronger than before.

But the question is, what if it becomes weaker?

Nikola Tesla blushed: "I said, I will make good use of it. Even if it doesn't work, at least I can restore it, I promise!"

Zhao Chuanxin is riding a tiger with difficulty.

He gritted his teeth: "Where do you live?"

"I live in the high tower over there. It's called Wardenclyffe Tower. It's the one that Morgan funded."

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly realized: "It turns out that the lightning over Chang Island at night was caused by you!"

He handed Thor's hammer to Nikola Tesla and warned him: "Before you do it, you must read the recent newspapers and understand what the three words Zhao Chuanxuan mean, and think twice.

OK."

Not only that, Zhao Chuanxin will also have people squat near Wardenclyffe Tower to prevent the old boy from running away with his Thor's hammer.

After receiving Thor's hammer, Nikola Tesla happily held it in his hand and said perfunctorily: "Well, I will, you go."

Zhao Chuanxin bit his lip: "Before I leave, let me say it again, if you break Thor's hammer, I don't have a good temper. You'd better consider the consequences."

"Only stupid people worry about gains and losses! Only cowardly people like threats!"

"Hmph, and people who talk too much usually die quickly, especially in the past few days. If you don't believe it, read the newspaper."

The old man and the young man exchanged a few words with each other and then dispersed.

Zhao Chuanxin returned to downtown Manhattan as quickly as possible.

Lawson Trust Company.

Jesse Livermore received a special client today - Rebecca Levy.

"Ms. Levi, do you want to handle personal trust business?" Jesse Livermore was not familiar with her, and Thomas W. Lawson said that she had an unclear relationship with her boss, so she spoke very politely.

.

Rebecca Levi lowered her head slightly and nodded: "Well, I want to make trust investment, is that okay?"
