Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 177 New Invention
Subtitle of this chapter: It turns out there is such an operation!
Our Master Yuan’s principle has always been that I won’t argue with others unless they argue with me… How is that possible?
To him, there is only one person in the world who is good at talking big. Who in the world can defeat him?
“Pika Pika!”
Yes, Thomas Edison did make , but mankind has not treated him unfairly. He has received all the honors and money he deserves. So can't we talk about his mistakes? Can't we ridicule him for plagiarizing other inventors' ideas?
In ancient Seris, there was a man named Dong Hu who wrote a book about the powerful official Zhao Dun. He wrote: "The good historians of the ancient times did not hide their calligraphy."", in modern America, there is a "FNN" like CNN that is not afraid of what our emperor Trump says...
So since the old man has brought himself to our doorstep, let's just beat him up.
But Thomas Edison was also a big shot with his own BGM... well, aura. When he got so angry, even the air in the smoking room became stagnant.
Yuan Yanshu's heart began to beat. This old man is a well-known American. His social status is much higher than that of a Chinese like me, and his social resources are incomparable. If I really piss off this great inventor, he will make things difficult for me, which will be really difficult to deal with.
But the words have been spoken, and now I can't take them back.
Fortunately for both sides, the great inventor is also a great entrepreneur. But how can one become a great entrepreneur without being thick-skinned?
If Thomas Edison had really gotten so angry about these "rumors", would he have ended up in this situation?
Although an old scandal was exposed by this hateful Chinese man, he was not so angry or ashamed that he lost his mind. Instead, he immediately thought of how to fight back.
With veins throbbing on his forehead, he sneered, "Mr. Yuan, I'd like to hear your solution. As for your concerns..."
The great inventor took out his check folder, wrote a check and said, "Here is fifty thousand dollars. As long as your plan satisfies me, the money will be yours!"
Upon hearing this, our Master Yuan fell into a very awkward state and stammered, "But, but..."
"But what? Don't worry, even if I'm not satisfied, I won't let you work at my Edison Company for three years." Mr. Edison raised his voice and said, "Besides, there is Mr. George Baker as a witness. Are you still worried that I will plagiarize your ideas ?"
Yuan Yan suddenly said shyly: "But I... well, I have two ways, but Mr. Edison, you only gave me 50,000 US dollars..."
The blood vessels on the great inventor's forehead beat even more excitedly, and without saying a word, he wrote another check for fifty thousand dollars.
I want the small amount of money, but the S value is too scary, I still need to ask the broken system...
"Master Ball, I'll put it this way... Is that ok with you?"
"Host, your plan will not affect the main history much, so we can make money from it. However... it will still increase the S value by 3%."
Okay, that’s all I have to say.
"Mr. Edison, you are really humorous... well, honest!" Our Master Yuan was cheered up when he saw the check worth one hundred thousand U.S. dollars and got the guarantee of the Master Ball.
He groaned for a moment and said, "Since Mr. Edison is so generous, then I will sell these two ideas to you as patents. Of course, the premise is that you are satisfied."
The great inventor sneered again and said, "That's great. I'm listening!"
Yuan Yan took a sip of Bloody Mary, put down the cup, raised her index finger and said, "The first method is to produce a radio that anyone can use..."
Mr. Edison couldn't help but interrupt: "Huh, do you still need to tell me that?"
Master Yuan shook his index finger and said, "Excuse me, Mr. Edison. Please don't interrupt me."
He looked around the room, then pointed to an exquisite and beautiful walnut antique wine cabinet that looked a bit old and said, "We can assemble all the parts of the radio and put them in a cabinet like this..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Edison Sr.'s expression changed, and he was about to speak, but he was very shrewd and held back. Meanwhile, Mr. Edison Jr. immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and blurted out, "So there is such a thing!"
I have to emphasize and seriously point out a fact. Our Master Yuan really does not have the aura of a brainless person that lowers the IQ of NPCs. At least, he has not obtained a card with such an effect so far. At the same time, Edison and his son's IQ attributes are indeed not weakened because they are NPCs.
Assembling all the radio parts in a box sounds like an idea that anyone with an IQ over 80 could come up with. However, the "desktop radio" was not invented until 1923 and put on the American market.
In fact, if you know a little about the history of human technological inventions, you will know that this is nothing strange. Many inventions that can be invented with just a little effort have not been invented.
For example, South American Indians used wheels to make pottery very early on, but they did not create vehicles with wheels until the arrival of the Spaniards.
For example, as early as the "Islamic Golden Age" (8th to 13th century AD), Arab scholars invented automatic irrigation devices powered by steam, but they did not start the first industrial revolution.
Yuan Yan looked at the reactions of the father and son, and said with a slight smile: "Yes, Theodore. It can indeed be done this way."
“And what are the benefits of doing this?”
"The first and most important point is that because all the parts and wires are inside the box instead of exposed, we can use dangerous alternating current in the radio. Instead of using inconvenient and expensive direct current batteries for the sake of user safety, as is the case now. I think Mr. Edison should also know that although alternating current is dangerous, it is cheap and has higher power, right? And by using alternating current, we can install more powerful speakers to replace headphones!"
"Secondly, we can install a panel and some buttons on the outside of the box so that users can easily change frequencies and adjust the volume. This way even a child can use it."
"Finally, gentlemen, please take a look at this cabinet. We can make the radio look like this, and of course we can make it in different styles and grades, so that the radio will eventually become a beautiful piece of furniture that can be placed in the living room, living room and bedroom, instead of being a weird machine that can only be installed in the attic like now."
"Gentlemen, this way, our listeners only need to buy the radio, plug it in, and install an antenna to listen to the radio programs. They can also use the radio as a home decoration, just like the phonograph invented by Mr. Edison..."
"Oh, now I have another idea: we can combine the phonograph and the radio to make a machine that can play records and listen to the radio... Well, I have an idea for a name..."
“Family entertainment center!”
