Chapter 189 The Story Behind

Chapter 189 The story behind

The zipper is not a complicated thing, and the design documents were quickly produced. It just so happened that Li Yu also proved his R&D capabilities, and the money fell into his own pocket without requisitioning funds.

"Mr. Mark Twain, I think your breeches and vest can be saved, as long as this patent can be applied." Li Yu said.

Mark Twain was drinking coffee, so he took it over and took a look, "How come you, like me, started designing clothes."

Li Yu laughed and said: "Just do it casually, it comes up on a whim."

Mark Twain looked at it carefully for a while and asked the same question that many people later asked: "It won't just let go?"

Li Yu said: "Of course not. The convex and concave tooth structure in the picture ensures connectivity."

Mark Twain joked: "Are you trying to compete with me for money to buy an underwear company?"

Li Yu laughed and said: "How could it be! This kind of structure can only be used on coats."

Mark Twain gave a thumbs up: "One inside and one outside, the two of us are contracted."

The Waldorf Astoria was one of New York's most luxurious hotels at this time, the tallest hotel in the world, and the first to offer full electrical service and private bathrooms.

Tesla said to Li Yu: "It's really great that you can go, just so you can see the behavior of those rich people."

Li Yu laughed and said, "I'm just making a living, why am I still using the house?"

When it comes to the sense of ritual, Americans who inherited it from England also understand better. Hotel owner Astor built a 300-meter-long marble corridor inside, known as Peacock Street. Only after walking through it can you reach the Grand Palm Restaurant.

Tesla was really devoted to the ideal of wireless transmission, but he had no business sense at all, let alone the ideas of the plutocrats.

Since Tesla invented alternating current, he has needed to communicate with people in some consortiums, and it is indeed more convenient here.

White saw Li Yu next to him again and asked: "Are you...Li Yu from the Eastern Qing Dynasty?"

Mr. Worden is a lawyer and real estate investor, and he bought the place where Wardenclyffe Tower is located. He also wants to work harder for Tesla's project. After all, if Tesla succeeds, it will be very important to him.

It is also beneficial to him.

Moreover, she has been chased by the media for a long time and has no place to hide. No one sympathizes with her. They just want to know how Stanford White was the first to pick the virginity of this rose, and even want her to tell the obscene details.

.

Harry then married again and continued his life as a millionaire, abandoning Evelyn and their children.

Of course White is not just a playboy, he is definitely an expert in architecture. He frowned and said: "The weight of the roof is now as high as 30 tons. If you go by what you said, I'm afraid it will exceed 50 tons by then. Such a big thing

It’s heavy, and it’s on the seaside, so if there’s a strong wind, it will be extremely unstable.”

Now that the railway has been built, once Tesla's project is successful, it will attract companies to build factories. At the same time, a large number of engineers, technicians, and workers will arrive. Once they arrive, there will be demand for home ownership, and he can pass

Real estate projects make huge profits.

The Waldorf Astoria is definitely a five-star hotel.

Tesla understood what White meant: "In that case, I will find a way to convince Mr. Worden."

At this time, walking on Peacock Street feels like the red carpet of Cannes in later generations, very stylish.

Mark Twain was about to go to Tesla with the patent, and Li Yu also followed.

As for Evelyn, she was thrown a lot of dirt by Harry's family and couldn't even participate in performances. She was embarrassed to raise her children alone.

Sierra whispered to Li Yu: "You can go, grandpa also stayed in this hotel back then."

Li Yu really wanted to see how Tesla communicates with the investors behind it. Historically, it seems that he has never come out of the financial crisis since last year.

The interior of the restaurant is decorated in Italian style with marble. It is called the Grand Palm Room because it is filled with huge palm trees.

Tesla insisted: "If you can't increase the power, your previous efforts will be in vain, so you must do it."

Astor did give Tesla free residency for up to 20 years.

Stanford White designed the Boston Public Library, the New York Herald Building, Old Madison Square Garden, the Washington Arch, and many other buildings and memorials.

This hotel is located on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th Street in Manhattan. If you look at the map, you will find that this is where the Empire State Building is today.

Evelyn was born in poverty. Later, a New York painter noticed her beauty and invited her to become a model and paint for her. At the end of the 19th century, being a model in public was not a job that a serious girl should do, but it was different from being a model on the streets.

Compared with struggling to survive, having people paint in the studio is not so unacceptable.

"You are finally back, Tesla boy," Mark Twain came to Tesla's laboratory, "Look at my patent, it has been approved!"

The Grand Palm Restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel is extremely luxurious. Guests dine under a gorgeously decorated three-story amber glass dome, with a huge carved chandelier above their heads.

Stanford White is now the best architect in New York. His architectural design firm is called McKimmead-White Architects, which has been one of the best architect firms in the United States until later generations.

Li Yu didn't know what was going on yet, so he asked doubtfully: "Banquet?"

Tesla could not interfere with White's personal behavior and instead mentioned his Wardenclyffe Tower: "I am ready to increase the power of the tower again so that I can realize my vision of creating lightning."

Tesla didn't know how to make money, but his research did require financial investment. He vowed: "Don't worry, there will be no problems this time."

As expected, Harry was found not guilty, but had to go to a mental hospital for lifelong treatment. However, his family spent a lot of money, and in 1915 they said he had been cured and was released from the mental hospital.

What shocked Li Zhongtang the most at that time were the high-rise buildings in New York. He himself said at the time: "Those high-rise buildings have 20 floors or even higher... Your country has built many. Although they are tall, they look very solid.

I don't think even strong winds can destroy it. There is no such building in the Qing Dynasty. I think it is difficult to build such a building in the Qing Dynasty. Even if it is built, the foundation is not very stable and it will collapse soon."

Logically speaking, Harry should be sentenced for killing someone, but his family is too wealthy and hired a team of luxury lawyers to prove to him that it was just an intermittent mental illness.

This woman seems to have been born for the camera, without any training or guidance at all. Her natural expression has become a goddess on postcards, tobacco cards, face creams, beer trays, calendars and chromographs.

However, the name Evelynn should be familiar to older players who have played League of Legends in later generations. There is a female hero named Evelynn. Her current title is "Painful Embrace", but her original title was "Widowmaker"

".

White said: "Mr. Worden will hold a dinner at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in New York. The main purpose is to promote the development of technology and the huge benefits it can bring. Many figures in the investment community will be present. If

Mr. Astor, the owner of the hotel, will be extremely welcoming if he knows you can come."

Li Yu nodded: "It's me."

In order to maintain his image, Tesla would pass through Peacock Street in a well-dressed style almost every night and then enter the restaurant. The table where he ate was close to the wall and had only one seat. He would dine here for 18 years.

Unexpectedly, this routine began to be used skillfully in the United States more than a hundred years ago.

After that, Evelin's husband was also a millionaire, but he was a very controlling and possessive character in psychology. After he learned about the two people's early life, he actually shot White in public in 1906, and that was

Theater in front of Madison Square Garden.

Of course, this was all three years later. At this time, Evelin still didn't know what would happen to this man and her future husband.

So Li Yu said: "I am very honored to receive your invitation."

Tesla had heard about White, but White had already said such things, and he could not persuade him even if he knew it, so he had to let him go.

The color is a bone scraping steel knife.

At this time, White also brought along a young beauty who could be called a beauty disaster—Evelyn.

White sighed: "You never mess up once, I hope you learn a lesson this time.

Tesla didn't take this seriously: "As long as you can do it, I know there's nothing you can't do."

——

It is said that when Li Hongzhang visited the United States, he also stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

White was nonchalant: "Don't you think she is the most beautiful woman in New York? That's enough!"

White said: "Mr. Tesla also has the same rights, and the owner of the hotel, Mr. Astor, is a truly passionate technology person."

White said excitedly: "Great! As expected, Tesla always surprises me every time I see him. This time I met a top scientist again. I hope you will also enjoy the banquet hosted by Mr. Worden tonight."

You can go."

White said happily: "The hotel owner Astor attaches great importance to scientific and technical people. I think in order to thank you for coming, he can give you a free stay at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for at least twenty years. This is a rare courtesy."

"

In a sense, this can be said to be the prelude to the subsequent Cold War.

Yes, not only the building will fall, but his Qing Dynasty will also fall.

Of course Tesla knew that White was married, and quietly said to him: "Although I have seen many girls around you, this Miss Evelyn is a famous cover girl in New York. She is a star and has so many suitors. I'm afraid

It won’t bring you good luck.”

"I'm so happy for you!" Tesla said.

White on the side was surprised: "Hey! Mr. Mark Twain! You actually know about women's underwear?"

After the hotel was demolished, it was rebuilt in Manhattan. It was also the tallest hotel in the world at the time, occupying almost an entire block, and its status is still very high. After World War II, the United States, Britain, France, and the Soviet Union were located in this hotel tower.

The post-war "peace agreement" was signed in a private room.

And White has naturally gone to see God.

But White understands business operations. He said: "Mr. Worden is going to hold a banquet at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel where you are staying tonight, and you will naturally be the core person. You know, this is the limit of what I can do."

, if you still can't get them to invest more tonight, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the Wardenclyffe Tower project to continue operating."

Sierra laughed in a low voice: "Why don't you want such a good thing if you get it for free?"

In terms of architectural design, White later used his expertise to build an eight-sided structure to share the weight of the roof, allowing Wardenclyffe Tower to be constructed normally.

It's quite interesting that they became friends. Tesla was a celibate person (he said so himself), never married, and was not a womanizer. Although he was already quite famous at this time, many women pursued him.

He, but they were all rejected by him.

Evelyn's husband Harry is the heir to a Pittsburgh coal tycoon. A rich man shot another millionaire in a theater because of a female star, and this woman was once another man's mistress. This kind of thing happens in any era.

Breaking news, the kind that will definitely make headlines.

The two also became friends because of the construction of this tower.

White thought for a while, "There is no way, but I'm afraid the budget will need to be increased a lot."

Naturally, many American celebrities have stayed here, including Carnegie and Arctic explorer Frederick Cook. In addition, US President Hoover also has a permanent residence in this hotel.

White, the architect, is a wealthy playboy who even has a lot of bad taste. He often holds "party girls" where young women don't wear tops.

Tesla attached great importance to his Wardenclyffe Tower, so naturally he chose White, the best architect in New York.

——The hotel was demolished around 1929, and the famous skyscraper Empire State Building was built on the original place. So it can be seen that the hotel is in a very good location.

While they were talking, the coachman outside told them that Mr. Tesla was back, and he was accompanied by the architect Stanford White.

After that, Evelyn joined Broadway and became a popular actress in New York.

This is long-term fishing.

Sometimes, poverty can really destroy all faith. Evelyn bared her clothes in front of artists, and the New York art world welcomed their muse.

Li Yu feels the same way. Anyway, the hotel is on Fifth Avenue, very close, and the conditions are good. Nowadays, living in the laboratory can only eat bread.

"It's good that you know, don't mess it up," White especially urged. "In addition, he also invited Westinghouse's boss, Westinghouse, and Robert Johnson, the editor-in-chief of Century magazine. I think Mr. Morgan will also send

Assistant, come here. Let me emphasize again, if you want to attract investment, this is your last chance!"

Of course White was only interested in her beauty, and he had many mistresses around him.

People like to make stars, but they also like to watch the gods fall.

Mark Twain didn't feel any shame. Instead, he was very proud. He pointed at his head and said: "It contains not only various rhetorical techniques, but also the most clever knowledge of scientific and technological inventions."

But he could not have imagined that more than 100 years later, although the operating rights of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel were still in the hands of the American Hilton Group, the ownership was bought by a Chinese company.

Then he turned to one of his footmen and said: "You stay here, we will not go to Wardenclyffe Tower today."

Yes, Tesla even uses men as servants...

Normally, when he went from the Waldorf Astoria Hotel to Wardenclyffe Tower, he would ask the valet to bring a large food basket containing a luxurious lunch prepared by the chef of the Grand Palm Restaurant.

He also rented a small villa on Long Island Beach near Wardenclyffe Tower, and sometimes stayed there, but in order to get in touch with the business world's richest people, he still chose to stay at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel most of the time.
