Chapter five hundred and eleven, Annie's diary (6)

The conversation between Edmunddo and Grestone lasted very short, only a few minutes. The whole process was actually like this:

Grestone looked up from behind the desk, glanced at them, and asked, "Are they Mr. Edmundor and Miss Vera?"

"Yes, yes." Edmund replied halfway, "I am Edmundor." He came again with Vera and said, "This is Vera... Vera, why don't you say hello to Mr. MacDonald."

"Hello, Mr. MacDonald," Vera said with her head down.

"Hello. Please sit down, and what should I order? Coffee or tea?" Gresz's novel Dong also responded politely. However, to be honest, this kind of politeness does not mean respect for the other party or anything else. It is just out of the education Gresz's consistently received, so it seems polite and has a subtle sense of distance.

"Thank you, we'll do whatever we want," Edmunddo said gratefully, while putting half of his butt on the sofa.

"Then let's have black tea, Durban, you go and pour two cups of black tea for Mr. Edmundor and Miss Vera... Mr. Edmundor, you should know the purpose of me coming to you." Greston said, "We have a brand new technology for audio movies. We need to use this technology to cultivate a new, huge, much larger market than Broadway's singing and dancing. I watched your performances, and I found it very interesting. Maybe we can work together."

"Then...Mr. McDonald...I mean, we are just a small theater troupe...If you have any use to get us, just give us instructions...but we don't know if we can..." Edmundor actually thought a lot before meeting Grestone, but at this time he couldn't speak.

"Ah, Mr. Edmundor. Since we have found you, of course we have confidence in you." Greston said with a smile, "Of course, it is also a problem if you don't understand us. I have a cooperation memorandum here, you can take a look. If you are interested, I will arrange for you to visit the large laboratory and learn about audio movies."

At this time, Grestone's and Bandban had already placed two cups of black tea on the coffee table beside them, and handed Edmund the document that Grestone said to Edmund.

Edmund looked at the documents, and to be honest, he didn't understand them very much because these articles were too complicated.

"Mr. Edmundor, what do you think?" asked Grestone. "If you don't understand anything, you can let Durban explain it to you later. You can also raise any different opinions."

"Ah, there is no problem at all. Just follow this, Mr. MacDonald." Although he didn't fully understand, Edmunddo understood that he would seize the opportunity no matter what. What's more, the above clauses did not seem to be very harsh. Besides, no matter how harsh the conditions were, even if Grestone took out a parchment with a scent of sulfur, which said that the acquisition of souls was written, Edmunddo would bet that those who were willing to sign on would never compare with those who were willing to sign on it.

Back then, there were few people who were willing to use 100 soft sister coins to kill his wife to ask the leader of the Jin to sell their souls. The number of people was probably more than one round around New York. So, in this case, how could Edmund dare to raise any objection? Indeed, Vera looked like Anne, but there were many girls who looked like Anne like sardines in the sea, and they were definitely not particularly rare. Three-legged toads were difficult to find, and two-legged people were everywhere on the street.

"So... very good," said Gresson. "Mr. Edmundor, then I suggest you go to Cleveland immediately to see the related technology of audio movies. Well, my father happened to be there, and he might have some ideas and needs to talk to you. Do you have any arrangements recently?"

"No, Mr. MacDonald. I can set off at any time." Edmunddo stood up and said, "The Legend of the American, Mr. MacDonald, is waiting for him. How could he delay even a little time? You know, Mr. MacDonald's time is much more valuable than his time.

"Well, Durban, what time is the most recent train to Cleveland?" Grestone asked, leaning back against the back of the chair, apparently he was planning to end the conversation.

"Young Master, the nearest train is at 1:00 pm. If you leave immediately, you can still catch up." Durban replied.

"Ah, that's it. But Mr. Edmundor hasn't eaten yet, right?" said Grestone.

"Mr. MacDonald, this is not a problem." Edmunddo quickly stood up and said, "It is common for us to do our business and not eat when we are busy."

"That's great." Grestone looked at his watch and said, "Durban, you go and arrange a car for them and arrive at the station as soon as possible. Oh, and you have to take them back first so that you can get your luggage... Well, let the kitchen prepare some food for Miss Vera."

"Okay, Master," Durban replied, then he turned to Edmundor and Vera and said to them: "Please come with me, two."

The two followed Durban out of the office, and another servant came up to greet him.

"Crouch, take them to the concierge for a while," Durban said to the servant.

"Okay, Mr. Durban." The servant replied quickly.

"Mr. Edmundor, Miss Vera. You can go to the concierge first and wait a moment, and a car will take you to the train station soon." Durban turned his head and said to Edmundor.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Durban," Edmundor said gratefully.

...

In this way, I waited for more than two hours in the concierge of Duck Fort, then talked to Grestone for less than five minutes, and then boarded the train to Cleveland and ran until the sun set in the evening before rushing to Cleveland. Of course, it was impossible to visit any major laboratory at this time. So the two had to find a place to live first and wait the next day.

The next morning, the two of them got up, had breakfast early and were waiting in the hotel to pick them up at the University of Cleveland Laboratory. Last night, McDonald's people threw them in the most luxurious hotel in Cleveland, but did not pay them the room. Of course, this is normal. There are still customers of McDonald's family who can't afford the little money? And Edmund's price was too expensive, so Edmund's heart was so distressed that Edmund didn't fall asleep all night. The next morning, he had a big dark circle. Vera, who was sleeping in another room, slept like a small head. In the morning, Edmund's knock on the door for a long time before he woke her up.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, a car came to the hotel door and picked up Edmundor and Vera. What happened afterwards was described in Edmundor's memoirs like this.

"The car dragged us along the asphalt road for almost an hour, left Cleveland far away and ran to Lake Erie. Then a large area of ​​buildings appeared in front of us. I knew this was the famous University of Cleveland. It avoided the hustle and bustle of the city from afar and independent.

After the car drove into the university area, it took a few turns and stopped next to a house that looked like a factory. Vera and I got out of the car. Mr. Sheldon, who accompanied us, told us that this is the electrical laboratory of the University of Cleveland, which is famous in the United States. Many great discoveries and inventions that have changed human history came from here. However, he was not among the invitations, so he did not get the qualification to visit with us.

There are many commercial secrets in the electrical laboratory, so for confidentiality reasons, the people entering and leaving are controlled quite strictly. It is said that the entire laboratory is divided into green zones, yellow zones, orange zones and red zones according to the confidentiality level and the degree of risk of the experiment. Of course, the areas we can enter are limited to green zones. In this area, all you can access is basically mature, and has obtained patents, and is about to be put on the market. And I can't know what there is in the later area. In fact, although I have been here a few times later, I have never seen any strange things except for movie-related things.

After entering the gate, a young man named Spencer received us. He guided us and led us into a large room where I met the famous genius scientist Mr. Nikola Tesla.

Mr. Tesla was very cold to people and rarely spoke. Apparently he knew what I was going to come. Before I could speak, he said to me: 'You are the one who is going to come to shoot an audio movie...' His voice suddenly stopped, and he turned his eyes to look at another man who looked older in researcher's costume. Obviously, he didn't know my name.

The researcher smiled and reminded him, 'It was Mr. Edmundor and Miss Vera.'

Maybe I was worried that I misunderstood Mr. Tesla was a very arrogant person, so the old researcher smiled at me and said, "Nicholas's whole mind is focused on those scientific research problems. It is a normal thing for him to not remember other people's names. I have worked with him for many years, but sometimes he will suddenly forget my name."

'Mr. MacDonald, I only forgot your name once, and after they had a bottle of wine. Moreover, I remembered it again in less than five minutes, but you still miss it.' Mr. Tesla said to the old man. Knowing this time, I realized that the old man who looked like a researcher under Mr. Tesla was actually the richest rich man in the United States, Mr. MacDonald."
