【473】 Tour the factory area

To be honest, Gordon came here this time because of Cabaye's face, and saved Tesla. If Liebig hadn't intervened, he would have given Tesla a "repairman" at most.

There will be absolutely no one who studies the magic horse for further study!

"Building an engine?"

Little Li Bixi was stunned, shook his head and laughed: "That's really wrong... Fortunately, Captain Gordon, I can hear from your words that this Mr. Tesla has not finally decided to join your transport. Team, right?"

"He'll join!"

Gordon was quite dissatisfied when he saw that Tesla was contemplating, and he didn't look like he had expected to "give his head and worship", but his tone was still firm.

"Okay, fair play!"

Little Liebig crossed Gordon, walked up to Tesla, and stretched out his hand: "I am Sentas von Liebig, and on behalf of the Meihao Research Institute, I solemnly invite you, Mr. Nikola Tesla, to become the chief of our institute." researcher!"

What, what? ! [

First, chief...researcher!

Little Li Bixie's words were shocking. Not only was Gordon stunned, but even Cabaye was frightened and rubbed his ears desperately, wondering whether he was hallucinating or hearing it wrong.

What is the concept of the chief researcher of Meihao Research Institute?

Let's put it this way, the salary of an ordinary researcher in Meihao Research Institute is about three times that of Cabaye, and the chief researcher not only earns ten times higher than ordinary researchers in terms of income, but also has the right to dividends of patented products!

What does the dividend right of a patent mean?

Let’s take a drug that was recently manufactured by the Meihao Chemical Factory as an example. In the last month alone, the announced sales amounted to tens of thousands of dollars!

A year, that is hundreds of thousands of dollars!

The cost of medicines is extremely low, which means that its profits are at least one hundred thousand, and the right to dividends.As long as there is 1%, it is a solid one thousand dollars, which is almost equal to the annual income of a mid-level researcher!

As we all know, the Earl of Beihai treats its employees very preferentially, so this dividend right.It is unlikely that it is just the lowest Passant, from 3 to 10, it is possible!

That is to say, as long as they have the right to share dividends, researchers will not only worry about food and clothing for life, but can even benefit future generations and give them a higher starting point for growth.

This kind of temptation is simply fatal, and no researcher can resist it!To know.Now is the doomsday carnival period of monopoly profiteering. Patent rights will always be in the hands of gluttonous inventors like Edison or some ancient chaebols. Ordinary people want to get a piece of the action. The reality of digging a gold mine at the door.

However, this dividend right is currently only available to the chief researcher!And in the Meihao Research Institute.The chief researcher is never more than one palm, little Li Bixie.Also one of them.

In other words, the 'price' offered by little Li Bixie to attract Tesla was directly as high as the sky, and the treatment was equal to his own. This... how could this not make the people in the interrogation room horrified, like a dream? !

"Head Researcher. Unbelievable, Mr. Liebig, are you sure you are talking to Tesla?"

Rough Cabaye, with a groan, his bald head like a pendulum.Swinging back and forth between little Liebig and Tesla, as if to force myself to believe: This world is too crazy! [

"That's right, Mr. Tesla is definitely qualified for this position!"

Little Li Bixi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the palm of his hand still kept waiting: "I firmly believe in this!"

Tesla's eyes were in a trance, he didn't stretch out his hand, and he didn't say no, he was in a very 'disrespectful' state.

Ma Hua is also absent-minded. Even though Mr. Ma dabbled in hundreds of schools and learned about the past and the present, he never expected that things would develop so ups and downs and twists and turns. Professor Li Bixi, one of the big bosses of Qianji City, would personally invite Tess La joined the Meihao Research Institute, and was given top-notch treatment by the chief researcher from the very beginning!

Oh my god, did the Taishang Laojun go crazy, and he also infected Professor Li Bixi? !

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ma Hua’s mind, as if something had been poured into his brain, something emerged in his mind: Ah, twelve streets in the seventh block. area?

Ma Hua smashed his fist and yelled in his heart: Damn it, I should have thought that the people who can live in the villa area are all people with brains as bright as monsters. Tesla, he was originally a man who sold his brains, and he was still the most advanced one. A sort of!It's embarrassing, it's embarrassing, it's a waste of my good intentions to work for him, dare to feel that I have behaved like a clown along the way!

Ma Hua blushed, but Lin Mo still remained calm. He rolled his eyes and looked at Tesla: "Sir, are you okay? Professor Liebig is talking to you..."

"Ah, sorry, I was distracted for a while!"

Tesla came back to his senses, hurriedly grasped the palm of Li Bixie's long-awaited hand, and shook it vigorously.

However, a slight difference is that Tesla uses both hands.

Xiao Li Bixi was slightly surprised. Of course, he understood the difference between one hand and two hands in a handshake: one hand means agreeing to cooperate, and I wish you a happy working together in the future, but with both hands, there are mostly elements of gratitude...

In other words, Tesla has not yet made up its mind about Liebig's invitation, saying that it still needs to consider it.

"Why, Mr. Tesla has something on his mind? Or, do you not have confidence in Meihao Research Institute?"

Little Liebig still had the same demeanor, looking at this "chemical genius" with great interest, at least, that's what little Liebig said about Tesla.

"No, that's not what I meant."

"So, Mr. Tesla wants to join Captain Gordon's transport brigade?"

Little Li Bixi's smile was still there, but there was a gleam of displeasure in his eyes.

After more than two years of accumulation, Xiao Li Bixi has a high position and authority, and his aura has been developed. He can be a corporal, but it doesn't mean that he is willing to lose face in front of his original 'boss'.

Having said that, the most face-saving creatures in the world are often not high-ranking officials and politicians, but pure academic staff.

Hearing this, Captain Gordon, who was once extremely disappointed and embarrassed, raised his head with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

When the lead researcher's salary was thrown out, Gordon knew he was out.The transportation team is important, and the development prospect is also good, but compared with the Meihao series, the gap is still quite huge!

I thought I could wrestle little Li Bixie's wrists and 'bid' for talents, but who would have thought.As soon as the opponent came up, he released the "ultimate move" and played cards unruly, which made Gordon a little embarrassed.

After waking up, Gordon pulled Cabaye and wanted to run away quietly. Little Li Bixi was a talented person, but he still gave up. If he stayed here, he would only humiliate himself.

Unexpectedly, Tesla hesitated for a long time.Unexpectedly, he didn't immediately agree to Li Bixie, and his words flickered, which made Gordon rekindle his hope: Maybe he can fight for it, slap Li Bixie in the face, and get back some face?

"Hehe, it seems that Mr. Tesla has a special liking for mechanical power. I still say that, the door of the transport team is always open to you. This is definitely a great stage for you to flex your muscles..."

Gordon's voice was loud and full of enthusiasm, as if the higher the volume, the heavier the 'pump' on Liebig's face.

"I'm sorry, Captain Gordon. I don't want to join the transport brigade!"

Tesla's slightly apologetic words made Gordon's voice stop abruptly. It seemed that the slap didn't hit Liebig, but himself.

Gordon's face.It suddenly became red like a pig's liver.

"Haha, Mr. Tesla is really a man of his own mind. This is not a place for conversation. Let's go out and talk about it?"

Little Li Bixi's complexion turned from cloudy to sunny, and he figured it out: this scientist who invented the saltpeter electrolysis method is really up for grabs at present, and he needs to spend a lot of effort to hire him, and it's worth spending money alone. not enough!

When Tesla left the interrogation room, Wang Jinbing had no choice but to send him off respectfully.

Just kidding, the charming big boss came in person, how could he not give him this face?

How could such a person be a spy if he could get the favor of little Li Bixie?

Of course, when Wang Jinbing went out of the house, the guards were gone. After inquiring about it in great surprise, he was so angry that he chased after the four 'rogues' of Kabaye to settle the score, but he omitted it in detail...

Seeing that Tesla was obviously not interested in his transport team, Gordon led Cabaye to leave after he came out.

Naturally, Tesla thanked Gordon and Cabaye for their help, and said that he would repay him if he had the opportunity in the future.

The turmoil of Tesla being caught has come to an end here. In this incident, Tesla had a thrilling experience, and he also met many people, recognized the enthusiasm of many people, and felt extraordinary.

Let me talk about Ma Hua first. Although most of the reasons for this matter fell on Mr. Ma, after the accident, Mr. Ma was not afraid of trouble and did not avoid suspicion. He resolutely stood with Tesla and testified for him. Even his own The work schedule was almost delayed.

Besides, Cabaye, the train driver, who had known Tesla for only an hour, recruited three friends and his own leader for him.

(Of course, the guards actually suffered a disaster. Who let them run into Pepe and other three sluts?)

There is also Wang Jinbing, although the captain of the guard is a bit of a 'villain', he behaved civilizedly, followed the rules during the interrogation, provided evidence (seal demonstration), and did not shoot indiscriminately when he was provoked by Cabaye. Made a nice impression.

These various "little people" warmed Tesla's heart, and he intuited that it would not be such a difficult thing to stay in Xiajia for three to five years.

There is satisfaction, and of course dissatisfaction.

After seeing off Ma Hua and getting into Li Bixie's car, Tesla glanced at Lin Mo and said without a trace of emotion: "Lin, you came so fast!"

The car is more comfortable than a 'taxi car' when driving, the buttocks are better, the bumps are lighter, and there is a shiny black iron roof on the head, so you don't have to worry about rainy days.

Faced with Tesla's sarcasm, Lin Mo chubby smiled bitterly: "Mr. Tesla, you got up too early. Fortunately, I asked the master in the cafeteria to know that you came to the factory. District, I came here in a hurry, here, my legs are swollen!"

Lin Mo lifted his trouser legs as he spoke, as if he wanted to show his distress.

Tesla sniffed, his face paled, and he said coldly: "You and this Professor Liebig, what a coincidence..."

"What a coincidence!"

Now, Lin Mo didn't speak, and it was Li Bixie who answered the question.He sat in the front seat next to a driver who wasn't looking sideways.

This car is the latest product of mg, which is more advanced than the one unveiled at the opening ceremony of the San Francisco Exchange. It not only has a smoother shape, but also has a significant improvement in performance.

There is enough money and raw materials to support the car.The speed of development is astounding!

"...I went back to the villa area last night. When I woke up this morning, I ran into Lin Mo. He happened to be looking for you, sir. I have a car, so I took him for a ride."

The reason Li Bixi gave made sense. An Nuo said that Professor Li Bixi lived in the villa area, although he didn't return much.But when someone else came back last night, they can't be wrong, they can only be described as a coincidence.

"Hmph, your legs are swollen enough to sit in a car, Lin, it's time for you to lose weight..."

With the explanation, Tesla's face became more relaxed, and he glanced at Lin Mo.Mouth teasing is better than sarcasm.

"Hehe, exaggeration. It's just an exaggeration!"

Lin Mo had a very thick skin, put down his trouser legs, and smiled like a morning glory.

"Mr. Tesla, to tell you the truth, I met Mr. Carnegie yesterday, from him. I know the saltpeter electrolysis method you invented, sir!"

As the car was driving, Xiao Li Bixi continued to say: "...you are talented in the field of chemistry, come to our Meihao Research Institute, I believe that you can find the true meaning and fun of scientific research here. At the same time, you can gain a lot fame and fortune!"

Nitre electrolysis?

Tesla finally came to a realization, knowing why the chemistry expert in front of him looked at him differently.

Being able to invent the electrolysis method that brought revolutionary changes to the saltpeter industry, this kind of chemical talent is certainly worth recruiting by Li Bixi himself!

Hey, unfortunately, I'm not interested in chemistry!

Tesla shook his head, sighing inwardly.

Tesla always paid attention to alternating current. If it wasn't for lack of money or a flash of inspiration in a dream, he would not have tinkered with the saltpeter electrolysis method.

Therefore, Tesla sighed softly, and said: "Professor Liebig, I appreciate your kindness, but I am not interested in researching in the field of chemistry. I am afraid that I will not be able to innovate if I enter the Meihao Research Institute... Actually, about me Lin knows the whereabouts best, and it was decided before coming to Xiajia."

"This is not a problem. In Thousand Machines City, it is allowed for those who are capable to work more and earn more for more work. It is allowed to hold multiple positions in different places!"

Being rejected by Tesla, Xiao Li was slightly disappointed, but he didn't give up: "There is still a lot of time, at least, Mr. Tesla, your ID card has not yet designated the factory area, right? Hehe, since you don't You need to report to work, so why don't you follow me around the factory area and let me be a guide and explain it to you?"

With Xiao Li Bixi's identity of "everything in every day", being this guide is full of sincerity.

This is a buffer opportunity for Tesla to consider. Maybe after getting along for a while, can he change his mind?

"That being the case, respect is worse than obedience, so I will trouble the professor!"

Tesla opened his mouth and agreed. Although he couldn't directly serve him, it was definitely not a bad thing to have a good relationship with Li Bixi in Qianji City. Besides, the factory area of ​​Qianji City was vast and vast, and there was a car for transportation. Always a good thing to save energy and time.

It was already past working hours, the roads were sparsely populated, and the factories in the factory area were already in motion. Even though it was far away, the roar of the machines inside could be faintly heard, shaking the eardrums.

"This one is a garment factory..."

"This one is a steel factory..."

"This area is the Kunpeng Research Institute, the shipbuilder..."

"This area is a restricted area. Did you see that flame mark? That factory manufactures military products..."

"Here is where the transportation brigade is, and behind it is the MG Automobile Research Institute, which is a semi-restricted area... The car we are riding in is called a Mercedes-Benz 38. Last week, they had to give it to me, saying that they wanted me to pay more. Open it, record the experimental data and feed it back to them!"

"Here is the Meihao Research Institute. How about it, the building is very individual, isn't it magnificent? Over there, uh, you can't see it, it's about five kilometers away, and beyond that hill is the production base of the chemical plant ...Do you want to go and have a look?"

The Mercedes-Benz 38 drove for nearly two hours. The scenery along the way was winding. Little Libig's non-stop commentary gave Tesla a relatively deep and intuitive impression of the Qianjicheng factory area.

The edge of the factory area is expanding at any time. Without a city wall, it means that there is no restraint, and there is a future with limited possibilities.

There are also railway tracks laid in the factory area, which carry small freight cars. On the rough roads, four-wheel or six-wheel vehicles are seen moving from time to time, with thick smoke rising and dust flying. They are mobilized by the transport brigade to allocate parts Mainly, supplemented by transport personnel.

Tesla can assure you that the cars he has seen in the past 30 years are not as many as he saw in an hour today!

This is a world of steel, rubber, steam and kerosene. It is called a factory area, and it really lives up to its name!

Although the factory area has no boundaries, it can be roughly divided into two parts using the key card as a reference.

The factories near the door card are purely responsible for production, and the ones far away from the door card and close to the mountains are all kinds of research institutes.

It is also very simple to understand. The labor intensity of factory workers is high, and they need to go back to the living area to rest and adjust regularly to relax their body and mind, but the research institute does not have to. Most of the people there are scientific research madmen and academic madmen. Going back to the living area is a small probability event, and they are eager Stay away from the hustle and bustle, so you can concentrate on research!

Of course, this is just a 'transitional appearance' in the initial construction stage of Qianji City. When the railway track network is laid, all units in the factory area and the living area will be convenient and fast, and the distance will be ignored.
