This is a classy guy who speaks Italian!
Almost the moment he stepped into this building, Mucci believed that these people would never lie to him, because scammers would never rent such a building for a long time. What surprised him even more was that after he said that he could not speak English
At that time, the other party quickly sent a staff member who could speak Italian.
This further convinced him that this was a strong company.
In fact, Mu Qi didn’t know that there were several recruiters like Zhao Mingqing in the New York office. They not only spoke English, but also French, Italian, German and Spanish, because in New York,
There are too many talents like him buried. Due to language or other reasons, these technical experts can only make ends meet in slums and live a life of poverty.
All they need is to give these people a chance to use their intelligence or technical expertise to contribute to the development of Nanhua.
Like many people, the opportunity was presented to Mucci, and of course he was eager to seize the opportunity. At this moment, he even regretted that he did not bring the physical object of the "long-distance telephone".
Regarding Mu Qi's hesitation, Zhao Mingqi was very aware of their concerns, so he said.
"Well, I understand your worries. You may not have the money to apply for a patent, so you are worried about patent issues. I have met many people in the same situation as you in the past. Please rest assured that our company will never seize your patent. Compared with going alone
We are more concerned about the technicians themselves. Your inventions may be precious, but you as talents are the most precious. If you are worried, we can sign a contract..."
Even before Zhao Mingqing finished speaking, Mu Qi said excitedly.
"No need to sign, no need to sign, sir, I believe you!"
The reason why Mucci was so excited was because no one had ever valued him so highly. In New York, he was just an Italian guy who couldn't speak English. No one had ever respected him, let alone the gentleman in front of him.
He admires his wisdom so much.
Zhao Mingqing has long been accustomed to Mu Qi's reaction. Those who have been buried often show such expressions because they have never been appreciated by outsiders.
In Chinese terms, it is - the grace of knowing and meeting someone!
Almost an hour later, Mu Qi sent his equipment to the office. After a simple test, everyone who was astonished immediately sent an invitation to Mu Qi, inviting him to Nanhua to continue research on the "long-distance telephony machine".
He even offered to spend a thousand dollars to buy his patent.
Historically, just one year later, in 1870, Mucci, who was already in his sixties, was seriously ill and had to sell the telephone equipment he had worked so hard to make for $6 to treat his illness.
Like many people, Mucci's fate changed this year. Almost half a month later, he took his family on a passenger ship to South China in New York. The passenger ship from Europe carried thousands of people and
Immigrants like him have a similar situation - they were once in poverty, but they possess skills or expertise in some field. They were once poor, but they became employees of the company by virtue of their expertise, and then immediately escaped poverty.
"God bless me to meet these good people!"
As the steamship blew its whistle and sailed away from New York, Mucci couldn't help but make the sign of the cross on his chest. As a Christian, he was grateful.
"I came to the New World and the United States almost twenty-five years ago, but what did it give us here? Poverty! We are as poor as we were in Italy, but now..."
Turning to look at his sons and daughters beside him, Mu Qi said in an extremely serious tone.
"But we can start over in Nanhua and live a happy life there. This is an extremely rare opportunity. You must remember that our loyalty always belongs to the king and queen."
The kings and queens he spoke of were of course not the kings and queens of Italy, but the kings of Araucania and Patagonia...well, a title given to Zhu Xianhai. For Americans who are extremely envious of noble titles, they are more willing to do so. Call others by their titles.
In overseas recruitment, those recruiters are also willing to use "king" to replace the boss. After all, "king" is more powerful!
Almost a month later, the telephone invented by Mu Qi finally appeared in front of Zhu Xianhai. It was a wall-mounted telephone made of elm wood. Looking at the split-type voice and receiver, he said enthusiastically.
"This is the electricity invented by Mucci..."
He originally wanted to make a phone call, but changed his mind when the words came to his lips.
"Telephone?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, Mucci is simply a genius. He not only solved the problem of converting mechanical energy like sound into electrical energy and transmitting it, but also solved the problem of signal attenuation. Through the test of the target, even if it is 100 kilometers apart, the sound It can also be transmitted very clearly through a "long-distance telephone"."
Mamel, the manager of the telegraph company, is like a treasure. Although he is a naturalized citizen of German origin, as an early employee of the company, he rose from the head of the Nanhua Telegraph station to the manager of the telegraph company. Like many naturalized citizens , he also likes to call the boss "Your Majesty"
"Your Majesty, you can give it a try. Our test line has now been connected to twelve telegraph lines. The farthest one is in Nanwan City, which is more than 160 kilometers away."
Nanwan City is located on the banks of Nanhe (Negro River), where Dahua Steel is located. It is prosperous because of steel, and "Wan" is another name for Nanyang County in the Han Dynasty. Nanyang County was the iron smelting center of the Han Dynasty. Nanwan was located in To a certain extent, it is also the inheritance between Nanhua and Huaxia.
With one hand holding the receiver to his ear and the other hand holding the microphone in front of his mouth, Zhu Xianhai heard a somewhat "familiar" voice from the receiver.
"Hello, may I ask where you want to be picked up?"
This is the legendary manual operator!
Zhu Xianhai said a little excitedly.
"Take Nanwan."
"Please wait!"
Soon Zhu Xianhai heard the answer from Nanyuan Telegraph Bureau.
"Hello, this is Nanyuan Telegraph Office."
The sound coming from the receiver was clearly audible. At this moment, Zhu Xianhai felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Hello, this is Nanhua."
After a brief chat, he hung up the phone.
What did the invention of the telephone mean?
Zhu Xianhai couldn't explain clearly for a while, but he believed that the phone would soon connect the whole of Nanhua. He smiled at Mamel.
"Manager Ma, it seems that the telegraph company needs to change its name."
"What?"
In Mamel's surprise, Zhu Xianhai said.
"You can call the Telegraph and Telephone Company. By the way, you can also develop a military telephone. Well, let's call it a "telephone","
After naming it, Zhu Xianhai continued.
"We need to consider the use environment with low or no electricity. The phone has a hand-operated generator, an electric bell, and a dry battery underneath. The transmitter and receiver can be integrated into one. I think this kind of phone will definitely be popular among the military.
Welcome..."
After giving some specific technical reminders, Zhu Xianhai's first thought was military use. After all, history does not have much time left for Nanhua. The military application of telephones is extremely extensive...
At the same time, he was also happy in his heart. He was grateful that so many talents had been buried in this absurd era, and if these talents could be used by Nanhua, they would definitely bring about earth-shaking changes here.
Even as an engineering student, Zhu Xianhai is not an all-rounder who can do everything. In fact, the knowledge he has is limited. There is a lot of knowledge, because Yuanyuan is ahead of the times in terms of technical level, which makes no sense at all.
Just like this simplest phone. As an engineering student, he couldn't make it at all - because this kind of phone has long been eliminated.
Perhaps he can give some suggestions based on his insights that are far ahead of his time, but they are just suggestions.
More often than not, technical personnel of this era are needed to invent and create. In this case, those buried talents become particularly precious.
In this era, there are too many people like Mu Qi who have extraordinary talents but are too poor to use their wisdom. In this case, what Nanhua needs is to discover them and then provide them with an opportunity.
An opportunity to develop your personal talents.
And Nanhua can also get huge returns from it. Not just economic returns, but the improvement of the country's overall strength through new technologies!
After Mamel left the office, Zhu Xianhai couldn't help but sigh.
"It seems that we still need to increase the introduction of talents in Europe and the United States! It is really a pity that talents like Mucci have only been introduced to Nanhua until now. If they could have been introduced a few years earlier, maybe the phone would have matured long ago.
Yes, it might have come in handy long ago."
What kind of use will it be used for? Of course it will be used in the war in the near future!
"It seems like we need to find some ways to properly cut European and American leeks."
Zhu Xianhai said to himself.
Cut leeks!
Can the talents cultivated by European and American countries be worthy of mankind if they are just buried?
If you don’t cut these leeks, what kind of leeks can you put in there?
But it is not easy to cut those leeks, after all, those leeks are buried among all living things. It is not easy to pick out the gold from the sand.
I want them to come to Nanhua and give full play to their strengths. Use their intelligence and talents to contribute to the development of Nanhua. First, they must be discovered, and then they can be harvested... No, it is introduced to Nanhua so that their talents can be used.
and wisdom will not be buried.
But it is not easy to do this.
Is there any good way?
For a moment, even Zhu Xianhai was a little confused...
