I, who lived in seclusion for thousands of years, was exposed by yearning

Chapter 372

"The child's printing machine patent was sold for [-] yuan. After he got the money, he built a factory specializing in the manufacture of various electrical machinery. For the operation of the factory and the company, he handed over the operation to his companions, and he himself I have been staying in the factory to continue researching and inventing.”

Hearing the old man's words, several people frowned slightly and asked:

"Since the patents of research inventions can earn a lot of money by selling them, why does he still need your funds?"

"Yeah, it's not like starting several inventions at the same time. He can continue to invent the next one with the funds from selling the patents."

"And doesn't he still have a company? The company will definitely be able to create some benefits, so he won't be so short of money."

"Having said that, not every invention can be sold for a good price."

Ye Qing shook his head.

Although the things invented are what people need, not everything can meet the buyers who are suitable for production and generous investment.

Not to mention that Addison kid has an inventive mind, but not a business mind.

He believed too much in the conditions given by others.

"Before the old man and I decided on a place to live, the kid told me in a letter that his second invention was a synchro transmitter. At that time, the conditions offered to him by a company sounded very good, but after cooperation Afterwards, he failed to fulfill the contract, until after a period of time, the general manager of a US railway company came forward to purchase the patent and helped him solve the problem of financial difficulties.”

When Ye Qing said this sentence, his eyes lit up and the corners of his mouth smiled, scanning around the children around him:
"Have any of you kids who traded stocks, heard of Pirate Tycoon or Black Friday?"

"I don't understand."

Zhang Zifeng shook his head when he heard the old man's question.

"I'm a stock trader, but I've never heard of the island tycoon you mentioned."

Zhang Yixing narrowed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then shook his head in response.

"However, everyone who plays stocks should know about the Black Friday you mentioned."

Huang Lei, who was sitting by the side, recalled the same thing, but he couldn't find anything about this island tycoon.

The old man's thinking is a bit too jumpy.

Aren't they talking about Addison now? How did it involve Black Friday in the stock market?
"What does Black Friday mean?" Zhang Zifeng was very curious.

"The stock market crash in the United States happened to be on Friday, and black refers to the crash in the stock market, so after the stock market crash in 1869, it was called Black Friday."

"That's what it meant."

Zhang Zifeng nodded, then turned to look at his grandfather's puzzled face:
"Grandpa, aren't we telling the story of Addison? This Black Friday has something to do with Addison?"

"This Black Friday has nothing to do with Addison, but the person who bought his synchro transmitter is the pirate tycoon Gould who made this Black Friday. I know that person."

Ye Qing smiled and shook his head to answer his granddaughter's question.

He was surprised for a moment when he saw Addison's child's letter.

Because he knew that Gould.

He didn't expect that it was the kid who bought Addison's patent.

Maybe this is fate in the dark.

"..."

Hearing the old man's words, both Huang Lei and He Jiong's eyes widened.

Good guy.

It is said that Black Friday was a panic for all investors.

The old man even knew the creator of that black friday.

"The stock market panic should have nothing to do with you?"

Huang Lei asked after being stunned for a moment.

He had only heard a little about that Black Friday, which seemed to have something to do with the gold market.

I remember that the old man has gold mines abroad, so it is difficult for him not to put the old man in this stock market panic.

"That doesn't really concern me, old man."

Ye Qing shook his head and continued:

"The relationship between me and him belongs to the front and back of the stage. At that time, the most profitable thing was the railway. There were many Chinese who went overseas to build railways. Old man, I saw that those people were unfairly treated by those supervisors. Treat, after hearing about the death rate of the Chinese, let him own the control of the railway, one is to make more money, and the other is to prevent the children who are working so hard from having such a high death rate.”

He just let the kid go get control of the railroad.

As for the matter of Black Friday, he only learned a little from Addison's letters.

It's just that he was relieved to hear the boy say that Gould was already the general manager of the railway company.

It has to be said that Gould's kid is very smart about making money.

"Before and behind the scenes? So this Gould is also helping you make money?"

Hearing the old man's explanation, Peng Yuchang asked as soon as he rolled his eyes.

When he was asking, he sighed in his heart, the old man is worthy of being the old man, it feels like there are people working for the old man all over the world.

"It's true to say that, but the old man, I didn't expect Gould to have a story with Addison's child."

Ye Qing said with a smile and shrugged his shoulders to express that he had no knowledge of the matter of buying the patent.

After all, the two children have some relationship with him, and these children must think that it is because of his relationship that Gould helped Addison.

"..."

When everyone heard the old man's words, they couldn't believe it.

Since it doesn't matter, how can I explain it? This is not the old man's style at all.

When the old man told them before, he would only explain some problems to them, and he never took the initiative to explain in this way.

And just now the old man said that after the original company failed to keep the contract for a while, Nagul came forward to buy it.

Acquiring a patent As for a general manager coming forward, the old man said that he didn't expect it. I'm afraid it should be the old man's arrangement. After all, this patent is mutually beneficial to those two people.

Ye Qing, who didn't know what the children were thinking, emptied the tea in the teacup and put it aside, and said at the same time:

"I don't know too much about Gould, old man. Let me continue to tell you about Addison's kid after he moved to Monroe."

"I don't know where Addison's child came from for his whim and boldness. After he came to Monroe to build a laboratory, he improved the telephone invented by Bell and put it into use. A telephone company has also been established in the local area, and the competition between the two companies is not usually fierce."

Ye Qing shook his head while speaking.

He didn't even know what to say about Addison's child.

The typical one is only responsible for sucking poop and not for wiping ass. He only does things that make him want to beat him up.

Said to let him check it out, what a fart to check it out, if you don't pay attention for a while, you will always do something that you want him to clean up the mess.

As far as the phone company is concerned, yes, he is indeed better than Bell's telephone after making improvements.

But I don't know what to think in my head, and I actually drove the company to a place not far from Bell's company.

"If you say it's for making more money, the old man can still think about it, but when this kid was improving the phone, he discovered some reactions between the membrane plate and the needle. The company was opened, but he was buried in the laboratory. I don't care about the life and death of the company."

"For an inventor, he should think about inventing as soon as the inspiration arrives."

Listening to the old man's words, Yixing pursed his lips in response and continued:

"I usually start creating as soon as I get inspiration. After all, the inspiration is just that, it's a pity to miss it."

He quite understands Addison's operation.

Although he is an artist, there are similarities between them, and they all need inspiration.

As soon as the inspiration came, I really couldn't control myself, so I just wanted to do it, and I didn't care about other things when I was immersed in it.
