"I believe you know who Morgan is. After all, you have worked in Edison's company. In the past few years, Morgan also invested in you. The eggs will not be placed in a basket. I, a latecomer, need to teach Morgan how to do this. He has invested in you and invested in Edison. Whether you or Edison, whoever can earn benefits will invest in him. However, he is a businessman, and the interests he cares about are not science. You lost to Marconi in the radio battle, resulting in the radio patent being awarded to this Italian. This made Morgan very angry. He took away the funding for you, right?"

Sheffield talked about Tesla's life trajectory over the past few years without anyone else. "After Morgan, there were still other wealthy people who were very interested in your research results, but to be honest, your recent funder cannot be compared with Morgan. To the United States, Mr. Tesla, you are certainly a genius, but there is not a single genius in various industries. There is only one influential banker like Morgan."

"Although I think Morgan and Edison are constantly dirty sooner or later, Edison will definitely be the one who surrenders in the end, but it doesn't mean you are out of Morgan's sight. After Edison is taken away, you will meet Morgan sooner or later. As for your sponsor, he is not Morgan's opponent. As long as Morgan puts pressure on him and lets your sponsor submit, your situation will be even worse."

"Did I say so hateful to Morgan?" Sheffield suddenly stopped and looked at Tesla's eyes and asked.

The radio patent battle is indeed the main reason why Morgan is not funding Tesla. However, Sheffield believes that although Edison tried his best to take advantage of the first-mover advantage, Tesla's research was not taken seriously. However, once it proves that the benefits brought by AC power far exceed those of DC power, Morgan will look back and forget to move forward hand in hand with Tesla.

"I have obtained the patent for radio from Marconi. Dear Mr. Tesla, I observed you for a long time before coming to New York, although you may not know this. Being prepared for the relevant reason, we have come to the door today." Sheffield said coldly, "Your research needs funders. Once Morgan feels that AC power returns hugely, he will use his connections to force your funders out. This is not a question of whether you are willing or not. It is really easy for Morgan to get the patent for AC power from an electrical engineer."

"Mr. William means that you can help me keep the patent I have now and continue the funding for subsequent research." Tesla looked up slightly and asked with hesitation, "My funder is also a banker with millions of dollars in assets..."

"As early as twenty years ago, Morgan and his alliances fought against Seligman's consortium and his foreign aid, the Rothschild family, and obtained financial dominance, the bankers, except for several internally married bankers in Boston, basically Morgan has no opponents. It is too easy for Morgan to force one person to submit in the financial field. It is not a good thing for your sponsor to be a banker!" Sheffield shrugged, "And millions of dollars? In Morgan's eyes, this can only be regarded as change! Even without Morgan coming forward, Edison's property is almost the same. General Electric, how do you deal with it?"

"Mr. William means, do you have enough ability to protect my patent? You will not be taken away by Morgan? But I have a little doubt. You and Morgan are both businessmen, of course, pay attention to profits. What's the difference?" Tesla seemed to be uncomfortable with the smile, and it was a bit inexplicable when she smiled.

"There is no essential difference, but I respect other people's achievements very much. If you want to say something different, I have never hurt you at the moment. Edison and his funder Morgan have hurt you once. In the United States, you should choose a strong partner to realize your dream. It's not that I boast that there are not many people who dare to support you under the pressure of Morgan. These giants in the north have close ties with Morgan. On the contrary, my family is in Texas, and my main contacts are in the southern states, and I have no contact with Morgan." Sheffield hesitated for a moment and said to the truth, "Besides, I have the authorization of Marconi, and there are many patents in the European electrical field, so I can cross-authorize you. As long as you nod, I can support you in doing anything, as long as you want."

In fact, Sheffield didn't know who was the first to discover the radio. If he remembered correctly, it seems that there was another Russian named Popov who also proved the radio this year. If the other party also joined in, there would be even more radio patent lawsuits. However, during World War II, the Federal Court held a trial of the radio patent and gave Marconi's patent to Tesla.

However, this move is more like a debt. The United States is obviously not as good as his father, Da Ying, in this regard. Da Ying gave the Krupp family patent fees according to the number of deaths in Germany. Germany in World War I and Italy in World War II were both defeated countries.

Tesla was silent for a long time. In fact, since Morgan withdraws the investment, although he has found other sponsors, as Sheffield said, the victory of the current war did not bring benefits, and he is still in a debt-ridden environment. Even the situation after the current war is not as good as when the winner was not decided before.

Not only that, Tesla can always see the media mocking him in the newspaper. He, the winner of the current war, is far from as comfortable as a loser.

This hesitation was keenly discovered by Sheffield, and he added again calmly, "The public opinion environment here is too unfriendly to you. In fact, the most suitable place for the United States to relax and conduct research is never New York, but Texas. Texas is a gathering place for Eastern European immigrants, and you can only find the feeling of your hometown there."

"You can hear Slavic language, see Orthodox churches, you can integrate without any obstacles, and anyone can be your friend!" Sheffield instructed repeatedly, "Houston has a good climate, making Texas' largest city. As long as you want, changing the environment may be better able to use your talents."

Knowing him with reason and emotion is what he is talking about now Sheffield. He expressed his willingness to take risks, resist the pressure of Edison and Morgan behind him, and also used the environment and humanities to make Tesla understand that the United States is not the only New York.

"I may not be able to repay you for a long time!" Tesla pointed to the laboratory downstairs, "Even the laboratory repair after the fire is owed a lot of money."

"It's okay, I'll help you!" Sheffield said indifferently, "Great science requires continuous investment. I will never withdraw my investment like Morgan, just like I can't see the benefits."

What else is the problem? Tesla racked his brains, and he couldn't even think of a reason to refuse. Finally nodded, "I'm willing to go to Texas!"

"This is a very wise decision! No one knows the value of AC electricity better than I do." Sheffield boasted, "and the value of you, the great electrical engineer." He knows better how much benefit this will bring.
