The accumulation of technology requires a process from scratch, and Steed Lab is no exception. The reason why Steed Lab performs well is closely related to Li Mu's guidance, which does not mean that Steed Lab's strength must be better than Rockefeller. How strong is your laboratory.

Don't look at the Steed Labs that has made a lot of new things, but in fact, most of them are based on in-depth research on predecessors, such as electric lights, that Steed Labs robbed Henry Goebbel's widow before Edison. I bought the relevant patents in my hand and then researched them under the guidance of Li Mu. Among them, Li Mu's guidance is very important. Edison once tested more than 1,600 materials in order to invent the light bulb. The Steed Lab only tested more than 30 kinds. All are carbonized bamboo silk, which saves a lot of time.

There is also a telephone similar to a light bulb. Without Antonio Meuchi's previous research, Steed Labs would like to study the phone is not easy, but with Antonio Meuchi, everything is logical.

Compared with Rockefeller Labs and Steed Labs, the difference is a qualified leader, a "prophet" close to demigods, Rockefeller is a qualified investor, never hesitate in capital investment, Rockefeller Labs also owns and The benefits of Steed Labs are almost the same, but in this regard, the gap between Rockefeller Labs and Steed Labs is really too large, and this gap will grow wider in the future.

In the previous Steed Lab, Li Mu was playing the role of "prophet". In the future, Nikola Tesla will be the prophet of Steed Lab. Li Mu can be sure that Nikola Tesla will be more competent than Li Mu This role.

Li Mu has absolute confidence in Nikola Tesla, so even if Nikola Tesla just promised Li Mu that he would start researching power station technology, Li Mu dared to fool Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie Investment. As for whether Nikola Tesla can succeed, Li Mu has never worried about this issue.

"Yes, Junma Labs has already conquered all the technologies needed to build a large-scale hydropower station. At present, Junma Labs is fully conquering the long-distance transmission technology of electricity. I can guarantee that within two years, all technical research and development will be completed. All is completed. "Li Mu is confident to give a timetable boldly, anyway, the construction of a hydropower station is not a project that can be completed in three or five months. The construction period of such a large project generally takes several years or even ten years.

Large-scale infrastructure such as a hydropower station is not the same thing as a high-rise building. To say that Junma Construction Company now has good technical strength, some of the high-rise buildings that have appeared in New York in recent years were all undertaken by Junma Construction Company. For the infrastructure that has never appeared before, Junma Construction still lacks experience. This requires exploration and construction, which requires far more time and energy than building skyscrapers.

Of course, this is also an accumulation process. Junma Construction Company has completed the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and participated in the excavation of the Panama Canal. If Niagara Hydropower Station is built again, then Junma Construction Company will establish an unparalleled position in the American construction industry. , Especially in the infrastructure sector.

"The Niagara Hydropower Station uses hydropower to supply the entire New England region. This is a good idea, but Rim, this should conflict with the management of Junma Electric. Why?" J.P. Morgan was still calm and was not The pie thrown by Li Mu fainted.

At present, Junma Electric Company monopolizes the domestic power supply system in the United States, and its products are also exported to Europe. It earns a lot of profits for Li Mu. Even if only wealthy families can afford it, this home power supply system can also be used by Junma Electric Company. Brings amazing profits every year. Although J.P. Morgan does not know exactly how much money Li Mu has made by selling light bulbs, there is still an approximate figure. Junma Electric Co. has sold at least 40,000 home power supply systems this year, assuming Each power supply system can bring Li Mu a profit of 2,000 US dollars. Then Li Mu, through Junma Electric Company, will earn at least 80 million US dollars this year.

80 million US dollars looks a lot, but it is dwarfed compared with the prospect shown by Li Mu. If Li Mu said that the power of Niagara Hydropower Station can be transmitted to the whole of New England, it also means that the Users will increase significantly compared to the past. Not only rich families, but even middle-class families also hope to use electric lights. This may reduce the profit of the unit product, but when the coverage area of ​​electric lights is large enough, profits will again Climbing, considering the massive profits of Junma Electric Company, even if Li Mu does not rely on Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie, Li Mu himself has the ability to build the Niagara Hydropower Station.

This is tantamount to taking out your own money for everyone to share. According to J.P. Morgan's understanding of Li Mu, Li Mu should not be so generous, at least if it is replaced by J.P. Morgan, probably J.P. Morgan will also Feeling pain in the body.

"Pipe, you can't make money. Now that you have the hydropower technology, it won't take long for the hydropower station to settle down in various states. This market is too big. The Junma Electric Company alone ca n’t afford it. Actually, Even if we work hard together, we ca n’t occupy all the electricity markets in the United States. In this case, why do n’t we unite? ”Li Mu did n’t want to swallow it alone. At the very least, we must occupy the dining table first.

Speaking of which, Li Mu and Rockefeller each have their own sphere of influence. Li Mu's sphere of influence is Massachusetts, New York in New England, Rockefeller's old nest is in Pennsylvania, and Andrew Carnegie's old nest is in the Great Lakes region. As for J.P. Morgan, this guy is a speculator. As long as there is a business, there is J.P. Morgan. However, this also causes J.P. Morgan to not have a firm rear.

The so-called sphere of influence means that it must have a strong influence in both the political and economic fields. For example, in Massachusetts, whether it is the election of the governor or the election of a senator or representative, it must first be approved by Li Mu. Only if there is no Li Mu's support, no one can successfully win the election, so it is considered to have a strong influence.

As for the economy, this measurement method is simpler. Now in Massachusetts, nearly 30% of the GDP comes from the Steed Group. More than 50% of Massachusetts companies have direct business relationships with Steed Group. If Steed Group announces its withdrawal from Massachusetts, Then the state capital of Massachusetts will soon go bankrupt. In this case, the public relations department of Junma Group is not required. Massachusetts will consciously safeguard the interests of Junma Group. Otherwise, the conflict between the Junma Group and the Texas Cotton Farmers Association occurred the previous year. After that, the Massachusetts state government will not stand firmly on the side of the steed.

"Talk about your ideas, Riem. How much do you buy with hydropower technology shares? How many shares do you occupy?" Andrew Carnegie kept up with Li Mu. There is no doubt that building a hydropower station requires a lot of steel. These requirements will eventually Turned into an order for Carnegie-Rime Steel.

"The full set of hydropower station technology costs 10 million US dollars, occupying 20% ​​of the shares of the hydropower station. At the same time, I will pay another 10 million US dollars." Li Mu's appetite is still very big, it will be 40% when he speaks.

The price of technology is 10 million US dollars, it seems a bit expensive-

However, this is understandable. After all, Li Muken asked Rockefeller to take part in the Niagara Hydropower Station. It is already Li Mu's sincerity. In this case, if Li Mu is not allowed to take advantage of it, then it cannot be justified.

Although there are a lot of 40% shares under the premise of only four shareholders, this is not ugly, after all, the Rockefeller shares of the three of them are more than half, although Andrew Carnegie is sure Will stay on the same front with Li Mu, but at least it looks pretty good.

Sure enough, although Li Mu's offer price was not low, it did not cause strong opposition from Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. On the contrary, the price that Li Mu offered was a relief for Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan. After all, Li Mu's strength, It is entirely possible to ask for a better condition. Rockefeller and J.P. Morgan did not have much confidence to refuse. There is no way. Technology is king these years. With everyone's capital strength being similar, whoever has the technology is the uncle.

There was almost no controversy. According to Li Mu's proposal, Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan, and Andrew Carnegie each paid $ 10 million to claim a 20% stake in the Niagara Hydropower Plant, which had not yet been born.

Li Mu, as chairman, immediately announced the official establishment of the Niagara Company, which also means that the construction of hydropower stations has begun to enter a substantive stage.

Simple, a group of capitalists can really do whatever they want. Li Mu did not even consider whether the construction of a large-scale infrastructure such as the Niagara Hydropower Station requires the approval of the local government. This is not a problem at all. Andrew Card Neki's old nest, the relevant procedures were handed over to Andrew Carnegie.

Andrew Carnegie didn't even hit a cricket. Haha laughed and said that this was a phone call. As for the construction of the hydropower station, it was necessary to coordinate with the Canadian government. This issue was left to the New York State Government. After all, the hydropower station was built in Within New York State, this will definitely bring a lot of taxes to the New York State Government, and the New York State Government should therefore run errands.

This is the fact that Arthur has resigned as governor of New York State in order to assist James Garfield in his election. Otherwise, it will be a phone call for Li Mu.

In the evening, Rockefeller invited Li Mu to dinner, hoping to ask Li Mu how to build a first-class laboratory.

"I may not be able to give you a standard answer to this question. I have copied a copy of the management system of the Steed Lab and the researcher promotion system. Who can you blame if you can't do anything? Li Mu had long known that Rockefeller was dissatisfied with his laboratory, but he could not do anything about it. He could never give Nikola Tesla to Rockefeller. Li Mu was not generous.

Rockefeller's laboratory is copied from the Steed Lab. The systems of the two labs are basically the same. The level of ordinary researchers is similar. The difference is the project sponsor. Whether it is Antonio Meu in Steed Lab, Both Qi and Nikola Tesla can be regarded as industry leaders. Rockefeller Labs does not have this condition. Although Rockefeller hopes to attract one or two industry tycoons, under the same conditions, scientific researchers are definitely a priority. Select Steed Lab.

"I'm sure you blame me. If it weren't for your Steed Lab, my lab wouldn't be bad—" Rockefeller ignored the three-pointer, and it's not a questionable attitude at all: "--I know my lab and Steed What ’s the difference between the labs? Just yesterday, I suddenly had an idea. My lab lacked a real leader. You said, what would you say if I brought Edison over?

Uh, uh, Edison, Rockefeller is also considered a talent. He actually thought of this guy, but this is destined to be a fantasy. Li Mu will never let Edison return to New York—

Not to mention returning to New York, not returning to the United States!

"You can try. Maybe this guy can invent a machine. As long as he is powered on, he can detect where there is oil underground." Li Mu only joked that Rockefeller was joking.

"Oh, everyone said that Mr. Riem was magnanimous. In fact, you are a cautious guy. Don't rush to deny it. You are just afraid that my laboratory will exceed your steed laboratory." Rockefeller certainly did not admit defeat, and certainly not. Will go to England to get Edison back, there is still a tacit understanding.

"Yeah, I'm scared—" Li Mu looked indifferent, and said scared. Actually, the sneer on the corner of his mouth sold Li Mu's mood: "You don't know. Although Steed Lab has a steady stream of patents, I can feel The laboratory is losing its vitality, so if you want to catch up with me, it ’s best to hurry up. The researchers at Steed Lab need a little stimulation, even if it is a little stress, I'm afraid they lie on the previous merit books and sleep a lot. . "

Li Mu's words are very embarrassing. He can hear Rockefeller's mouth twitching. On the surface, it seems to be encouraging. In fact, look at what Li Mu said. "Need a little stimulation", "a little pressure", "point" is the key. Is Rockefeller experiment Is the pressure on the Steed Lab just "point"?

Shameful!

"Honestly study your petroleum technology. As for the others, don't think about it that much. I guarantee that in at least fifty years, your laboratory will not exceed the Steed Lab." Li Mu's advice, although there are Maybe Rockefeller didn't believe it.

The reason is 50 years, because Nikola Tesla is only 20 years old, that is, as long as Nikola Tesla is alive, Rockefeller will wash and sleep, useless resistance is useless .
