Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 28 World Expo [-]
June 6 New York World's Fair
Early in the morning, George first came to his company's booth.The booth was set up by Paul according to George's instructions.It can be said that it is full of flowers and branches, which is different from the simple roots on other booths.

Moreover, George made two cylindrical 1.5-meter fixed frames with steel bars in the middle of the booth.There is a platform inside the cylinder that can swing slightly left and right. The highly sealed vehicle rechargeable battery invented by George is fixed on it and swings with the platform.

There are also two wires, one connected to the battery and the other connected to the electric fans.George also specially asked Paul to arrange for two beauties to stand next to two special booths to keep the battery shaking slightly.

The invention of the car seat headrest was originally going to be placed on the exhibition stand for a week, but George decided against it after considering it.Prepare to use him as a small trump card.

Seeing a circle of people gathered around his booth, George did not go up to say hello to these people, but let Paul do the communication.

He himself started to wander around in the expo. Paul estimated that the Stark family's expo was learned from here.Here George saw stainless steel washing machines, vacuum cleaners, hair dryers, refrigerators and other household appliances.

The inside of the washing machine that George saw was almost smooth, with only water swirling along the inner barrel.George suddenly discovered that it seems that the agitator washing machine has not been invented yet.After writing this down, George was going to get out the agitator washing machine when he got back. This was very simple.

There are also fans. Today's fans have fixed wind speeds and do not have the function of changing speeds and automatically shaking their heads like in previous generations.This one is even simpler, just adding a few sets of resistors and a small motor.

When he saw a household refrigerator, George in his previous life had read an online article about inventing a car air conditioner based on the principle of a refrigerator. The basic principles of the two are the same.You can definitely recruit people to do research and development. With the ideas you provide, isn't it possible?Write this down too.

After walking around, George discovered that there are still many areas for improvement in terms of people's livelihood.In the past, George's eyes were fixed on the big companies he remembered from his previous life.

After walking around, I discovered that these humble things combined are no less profitable than those enterprises.Many home appliances in the past life had schematics drawn in the instructions.It seems that I will have to study physics in depth in the future.

George then moved forward to the car-related product area, where there are local American cars such as General Motors, Cadillac, Lincoln, Ford, etc., as well as brands such as British Louvre, Bentley, German Mercedes-Benz, and BMW.George believes that next year, he will be the most beautiful cub in this exhibition area.

Here George focused on observing Lincoln cars, because George remembered that it was at this time that Lincoln was already losing money, and it was sold to Ford for $800 million with a two-year reserve.

George felt that the Lincoln Company would be worth less during the economic crisis, and that was his next goal.

George opened his eyes and saw various diesel engine companies, agricultural machinery companies, etc.George didn't browse too much about these, he just had a rough image, took some leaflets and left.

In a corner of the exhibition, George discovered the aircraft manufacturing company.Then George slowly started to search. After passing two booths, he saw a booth with the words Boeing Aircraft Company on the banner.What George was looking for was this company that seemed to be just starting out now, because it was the world's largest aerospace company in its previous life. It was also the world's leading manufacturer of civil aircraft and defense, space and security systems, as well as an after-sales support service provider.

Boeing is still in its infancy. From the furniture on the exhibition board and the introduction of yachts, it can be seen that it has also encountered difficulties.

George came here this time to meet William Edward Boeing, the founder and soul of Boeing Company.Under his leadership, Boeing became the largest U.S. manufacturing exporter.Boeing supports airline and government customers in more than 150 countries and territories around the world.

Boeing's products and customized services include civil and military aircraft, satellites, weapons, electronics and defense systems, launch systems, advanced information and communications systems, and performance-based logistics and training.

Boeing has three business units: Commercial Airplanes, Defense, Space and Security, and Boeing Global Services.Annual revenue reaches US$58 million (158)
, but also because of the international situation, he began to lose money.But this is the Marvel world, which is different from later generations.

In the Marvel world, Tony Stark has a customized private jet at Boeing, so we can see his potential.

Although during World War I, due to the network of Boeing's partner Wilt, the U.S. Navy purchased 22 C-type trainer aircraft equipped with twin pontoons, bi-wings and single engines from Boeing Aircraft Company at a price of US$50, allowing the company to grow rapidly. .

However, after the end of World War I, there was no greater demand for military aircraft, the civil aviation industry had not yet begun to develop, and Boeing encountered a bottleneck in its development.So George can see the introduction of furniture and yachts on Boeing's product display boards, all for survival.

Seeing George, whose clothes looked expensive, standing outside the booth, an employee from Boeing Company rushed over immediately and handed him an introduction about the yacht.

Then he had to introduce the product to George in detail, but George interrupted directly: "I'm not here to see the yacht. Is Mr. Boeing, the boss of your company, here?"

Then George was taken to see Boeing. The Boeing in front of him should be 39 years old, wearing a pair of round glasses, a beard, and a neat suit.

The employee went over and told Boeing what happened. Then when Boeing nodded, he smiled at George and left.

"Hello, sir, I don't know what to call me. I am the person you are looking for, William Edward Boeing. You can also call me Boeing." Boeing saw the young man opposite who was about 180 meters tall, handsome and well-dressed. People say. "Hello Mr. Boeing, I've taken the liberty to drop by and introduce myself. My name is George Orwell. I am the largest shareholder of the Coca-Cola Company and the largest shareholder of the Winchester Company."

"Nice to meet you." After saying that, the two shook hands.

"I don't know, Mr. Orwell is looking for me?" Boeing took George to the rest area next to him, sat down and then asked.

"You can just call me George. Well, that's the case. When I visited the Self-Defense Forces Camp in Washington, I heard an airplane instructor talk about the seaplane produced by your company. I am also very interested in airplanes. It was a great opportunity, so I came over to see if there was any chance of cooperation with Boeing." George said sideways that he had connections in the military and was very rich.

I have no choice, I don’t have anyone to support me, so I can only do it myself.It seems that I should find another person. It would be very shameless for me to do such a thing.

"Of course, I don't know, George, how do you plan to cooperate? Do you want to learn to fly a plane? I can introduce you to a training school. Moreover, if you want to buy a seaplane, I can also take you to experience our company's Blue Eagle for yourself. No. It is definitely one of the best airplanes." Boeing said with a smile.

Maybe he didn't let Boeing believe his identity, and a stranger came forward to say who he was. Although the clothes George wore looked expensive, the liar didn't package himself.

"I think Mr. Boeing misunderstood. I am interested in your company. I wonder if Mr. Boeing has accepted the idea of ​​becoming a shareholder." George did not struggle to prove himself, but directly stated his purpose.

"This is such a cooperation, please let me consider it," Boeing said.

It could be seen that Boeing did not believe in George's strength, so it did not agree. George just smiled and did not continue to delve into this issue.

George remembered that due to the transformation, Boeing has lost nearly 30 US dollars, which means that Boeing is struggling now.Moreover, with the economic crisis coming soon, George believed that when he found Boeing again next time, he would definitely not refuse.After the two discussed the aircraft's piloting skills for a while, George handed over his business card and told Boeing to call him if he changed his mind.He will definitely offer a price that Boeing cannot refuse.Then left the booth.

Boeing also sent back a business card and sent George out of the booth.Looking at George walking into the crowd again, Boeing thought that maybe this person he just met today is really interested in Boeing Company.Thinking about the current situation of the company, I thought that maybe this was a way out.But he still insisted on looking at it, then looked at the business card in his hand, and then put it away.

That afternoon, when Boeing went to visit other exhibits at the expo, they saw PL being watched.After thinking about George, whom he had talked to in the morning, he also walked into the crowd and listened carefully to Paul's introduction to the advantages of batteries.After listening to the explanation, I further deepened an idea in my mind.

On the other side, after George came out of Boeing, he stood in front of the Airco Seaplane Company's booth soon.

If Boeing is the dominant company in civil aviation, then the Lockheed Aircraft Manufacturing Company founded by Allen Lockheed and Malcolm Lockheed lit the fuse for what became the No. [-] arms manufacturer. .

The entrepreneurial path of these two brothers was not smooth. The current company is their second venture. The F-1 designed by this company once set a record of 211 miles and 181 minutes of flight time.However, because the F-1 aircraft was a seaplane, the US military at the time required them to convert it into a road aircraft. The First World War was over before the aircraft was successfully converted.

And because the U.S. government began to sell a large number of military aircraft to the civilian aircraft market at extremely low prices.This makes today's airplanes very cheap. How cheap? You can buy one for 300 US dollars.As a result, although Lockheed's aircraft have a good reputation, no one buys them.

So now Lockheed Aircraft Manufacturing Company is on the verge of bankruptcy.Looking at this slightly shabby display stand in the corner, George could tell that the company was definitely at the end of its rope.It is estimated that the brothers' company will not be able to survive for long without waiting for the economic crisis.

When you walk into the booth, you can see several photos posted prominently on the booth. The introduction shows a group photo of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium riding on their plane, as well as several photos of the movie factory renting a Lockheed plane. Film stills.

It can be said that although Lockheed's aircraft had a good reputation at this time, no one bought them.

Lockheed Aviation went bankrupt under these circumstances.It was not until 1926 that the Lockheed Flying Company was opened again, and it went bankrupt again during the Great Depression. In 1932, Lockheed held an auction and brothers Robert and Courtland Gross purchased it for $4.

With the efforts of these two generations of entrepreneurs, Lockheed developed step by step and later merged with Martin to become Lockheed Martin, the largest arms supplier to the US military.

Lockheed's failure was due to social environmental factors and the company's management. It can be said that the two brothers were both designer-like talents and had weaknesses in management, so they failed repeatedly.

What George wants is to use Boeing as the management, a design team dominated by the Lockheed brothers, and coupled with the great Lockheed designers he knew in his previous life, Lockheed will inevitably achieve more brilliant achievements in the future.
