Chapter 41 TV Laboratory
Durant actually wanted to borrow money from George and then stabilize General Motors' shares. Needless to say, the purpose was.

I wanted to find a solution with my old friend Groman before, but in the end Groman introduced this young man who has been in the limelight recently.

I originally thought that it would be easy to win, but I couldn't agree to the conditions they offered.If he wants shares and everything, he can still get it by his own means.What they want now is the shares of Morgan and DuPont, but they can’t do that!
But it's correct to think about it. With 5000 million US dollars in cash, he can't buy shares of any company now.

The two chatted for a while about their views on the future economy, and then parted ways.Now it was George who had the money he desperately needed, and he simply couldn't give George what he wanted.So, this can only be done temporarily.

However, although there are no secrets in Wall Street, Groman's behavior today once again refreshed George's cognitive bottom line.The first time was when Lincoln learned about his purchase of Lincoln's shares through him. Although the cooperation was finally reached, it already involved selling customer information.

This time it was even more obvious. If he had called someone to inform him before the meeting last time, then this time he was completely giving himself away as a favor.Not only did he betray his customer information, but he also failed to notify the person he was meeting.

If George's previous plan was followed, George could get the current shares for only about 14 yuan per share, which would cost George at least nearly 30 yuan more in deposit.To be precise, George needs to spend an extra 300 million US dollars. Although this amount will be deducted from future profits, George actually spent this extra money.

Is this behavior bullying George when he is young?Looking at Groman chatting and laughing with Durant in the distance, George secretly remembered this incident in his heart.

Because the banquet is not over yet, the charity auction must take one piece back. This is also a disguised way of integrating into the so-called celebrity class.

George chatted with some people he had just met.Facing this young and handsome young man who is definitely wealthy, single ladies who feel that they have good conditions will definitely have some ideas.So George doesn't worry about being bored alone.

Half an hour later, the auction officially started. George symbolically bought a Chinese antique and a Western oil painting for less than 1000 US dollars, and then did not sell it again.The most expensive ones are the oil paintings. The one from the Celestial Dynasty that was said to be used by the emperor only cost over [-] US dollars.

This is because of this kind of auction.The fundamental reason is that these people don't understand. Just from the seal at the bottom, George knows that this cultural relic will be worth at least tens of millions in future generations.It’s still these people who don’t know how to appreciate things and don’t know the goods.

After George took pictures of the items, he greeted Durand and Groman remotely and left the banquet.

The next day, the company headquarters
As soon as Paul saw George, he reported: "Boss, the five companies you selected have completed the acquisition. All the shares are in our hands. Are we going to delist or release financing news?"

George looked at the entire merger and acquisition report. Due to market reasons, the capital chain was broken, bankrupt, and ineffective.However, it also has its own advantages: the production workers are all experienced and they also have their own sales channels.The key is that the cost of the entire merger and acquisition is still very low.

"No, let's keep things as they are for now."

Now that the company has been fully acquired, we will be able to transform and produce the products once the patents are issued.However, George did not require major changes. For current product materials, only by using plastic for some parts can the advantages of the new technology be reflected.

For example, the hair dryer designed by George was a small handheld one, but in this era they all used metal casings, which ordinary people could not really lift. Moreover, metal ones also had the capacity to leak electricity, which was a safety hazard.Therefore, these factories will remain as they are for the time being and will not make any changes.

"These patents are already being applied for and should be available before the end of the month."

Before George went to college, he had left the patents for the agitator washing machine, the new hot and cold air blower, the new electric fan, and the closed electric water heater to Paul all at once.Once the materials are ready, production can be arranged.

George contacted Leland again, and now the factory is improving the production line based on the new startup method designed by George.George decided that after the production line was improved, he would go to the factory to see it in person.

Then George remembered the two beverage factories. Instead of dictating the operation, George came up with the can design and asked Paul to apply for a patent as soon as possible.Prepare to push it yourself. Nowadays, aluminum alloy doors and windows can sit out. The main problem is ductility.If George learns this for one more semester, he will be able to handle it on his own.

Then, George also asked Paul to collect information on some current regional banks and some banks that were about to fail.Since we are not ready to cooperate with Bank of America now, we naturally need to find another one.At this time, many banks were bankrupt, and it was not a problem to buy one and open a bank of your own.

While George was dealing with the company's problems, Ryan and the others came back and brought back the person George was looking for.Ryan has been away for nearly a month this time, and it seems that it is indeed not easy to find.

But looking at Philo Farnsworth's parents who came with him, I realized that it must have taken a lot of time to persuade his parents.

Several people sat down in the conference room and looked at the confident 14-year-old kid next to them. He was at least forty centimeters shorter than themselves and very thin.

And the parents next to him may be a little nervous because it is their first time in such a high-end place.

And Baird's expectant expression.

George wasted no time and said directly: "First of all, welcome everyone. Now I announce the formal establishment of the Imaging Laboratory. Baird is the team leader and is responsible for the research and development of mechanical televisions. Paul is responsible for logistics and ensuring all the needs of the laboratory. Recruit some scientific researchers to form a research and development team. Paul also arranged for Ferro to sign a directional training contract with the company, and then found him a school to continue his high school education. He can only participate in electronic television as an intern during the holidays. R&D. Your parents will be the company’s special hires to take care of you. Pay wages on time.”

George looked around and then said: "Paul is here. The laboratory is arranged here, but the security level is high. No one is allowed to enter the laboratory except the experimenters. The content and progress of the experiment are not allowed to be mentioned to anyone."

Confidentiality must be paid attention to. In the last life, because of Ferro's carelessness, he let a Russian commercial spy stay in his laboratory for several days, and finally gave the key drawings to RCA.

In the end, the father of television did not make any money from his patent.

Signing a targeted training contract with Ferro is actually a disguised labor contract, but because Ferro is only 14 years old, he can only change it this way.George didn't want to be accused of child labor.

Then, after arranging for Ferro's parents to visit the house and school, several people discussed the future development and needs of the laboratory, and finally each performed his or her own duties.George also specially arranged for Paul to arrange someone to be responsible for Baird's diet.Before all the experimental equipment arrived, Baird was arranged to enter a sanatorium for recuperation, and all expenses were reimbursed by the company.

If Baird is so moved, is this still a vampire capitalist?Overthinking, George just wanted to take care of him and live a few more years so that he could continue to create wealth for him.

TV needs to be realized
After handing the matter over to Paul, George didn't ask any more questions.I took Ryan back to the villa. Seeing that it was almost time, I asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner, which was regarded as catching the wind for Ryan.

Ever since Ryan was assigned to look for Baird, the two hadn't had a good dinner together for a long time.At the dinner table, Ryan told George some interesting stories about what happened on the way to England and the search for Ferro.And George also told Ryan some of his recent business affairs.The two of them were like a family, chatting and having a meal for more than an hour.

After taking a short break after the meal, the two were still in the gym, comparing their recent training gains.Ryan may have no other worries, so he is progressing faster. Coupled with the role of the heart-shaped grass, the Black Panther will definitely not be his opponent in the future.

The next day, George originally planned to go back to school, but a phone call from the Morgan family in the morning disrupted George's plans again.

On the other side, as soon as John Pierpont Morgan Jr. (also known as Little Morgan) entered the company's office, his secretary immediately handed him a stack of information.Little Morgan looked at it for a while and said, "Has the matter been cleared up?"

The secretary replied: "The cause of the matter was that Charlie of the family knew in advance that there would be gold escorted that day, and took advantage of the explosion to drive away three cars of gold from the convoy. Originally, he was planning to push the matter to the anti-government organization, but There was a loophole in the matter. Three escort vehicles appeared at the intersection of two blocks afterwards, and the gold disappeared from the vehicles. The gold that was moved to the Ministry of Finance also disappeared from the temporary warehouse that night. This time, the government's losses totaled US$[-] million."

"What about people?"

"Charlie and all the people handling it are under control."

"Hand them over and make up for the loss of three carts of gold. The Morgan family doesn't need such fools."

"Okay, sir."

"In addition, if the FBI needs it, we will fully cooperate with them."

"Has there been any result on what I asked Little John to discuss before?"

"They arranged for Durant to talk to the other party, but I don't know what happened. Mr. Durant later reported that the other party had the intention to cooperate, but he had no right to agree to the request."

"Oh, do you know what the conditions are?"

"Well, the report says that it wants the shares of Morgan and the DuPont family."

"It's not a small tone, but it's just that you think too highly of yourself."

"Boss, the other party purchased a total of 1.8% of the shares from the stock market in the past two days, and then made no other moves."

After hearing the news, little Morgan raised his head and glanced at the secretary, thought about it seriously, and said to the secretary: "Ask him to come over in the afternoon, and I will meet him." After that, he waved his hand and asked the secretary to go out.

"Yes, sir." Then he slowly exited the office.

Little Morgan looked at the information about George in his hand and was also curious, what does this young man want?You don’t really think that you can get Morgan Bank shares with a battery patent, do you?A guy who could make up for a battery's flaws couldn't be that stupid.Because this matter was very important, little Morgan finally decided to come and meet George by himself.As for the gold robbery, as long as the person involved is handed over, no one will dare to blame their family again.What was finally found out had nothing to do with his Morgan family.

That afternoon, little Morgan’s office

George came to Morgan Bank at the agreed time, met and exchanged greetings with young Morgan, and then sat down separately.

"George, I heard from Durant that you want to exchange the battery patents in your hands for shares in Morgan Bank and DuPont Group?"

"That was just a polite rejection of Mr. Durant's statement."

"Well, this matter should have been discussed with you by someone from General Motors, but due to the special nature of this patent, you have other ideas, and I don't mind listening to them. Of course, if it is sold directly to Morgan Family, then I will give you generous rewards.”

"Sir, it is impossible to sell patents directly. Our time is precious, so let's talk openly and directly."
