Chapter 961 The special surname is Sla (Second update, please subscribe)
"The year 1861 is a watershed in history. At this watershed, some empires fell and some empires rose. There are always many questions in history. In the past few years, when people look back on that period of history, they always wonder
A series of questions will arise - if, in 1861, when the "Alice" sailed into Nanhua Bay, the Argentinians sent troops to prevent their landing, what would the world look like?
?
Perhaps, we will face a completely different history, who knows?
But some things are destined to be unchangeable.
Napoleon, the first emperor of France, once said: "China is a sleeping lion in the East. I hope this sleeping lion never wakes up. When it wakes up, the world will tremble."
Napoleon's words did not arouse people's alarm. In 1840, the British Empire used strong ships and cannons to wake up the sleeping lion, and then the lion continued to sleep.
But among the lions, one lion was awakened, and the world changed drastically. Perhaps, every time when looking back on the past, the British would lament all this. If the lion had not been awakened, perhaps
, they are still peaceful in the years..."
"1861: A Watershed in History"
…
20 years!
Just after New Year's Day in the 11th year of Shengde, this word can be seen everywhere in and around Nanhua City.
There is celebration everywhere and colorful decorations everywhere.
Twenty years!
This year is the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the founding of Nanhua City. Although this time may sound a bit...not worth mentioning, it is definitely a big event for the entire Ming Dynasty.
As we all know, the Ming Dynasty began in Nanhua.
In twenty years, Nanhua has transformed from a desolate seaside into one of the most prosperous cities in the southern hemisphere - this city with a population of 2.3 million, together with Yingtian, Linhai and Taiyuan, constitutes the four major cities of the Ming Dynasty.
But among the four major cities, Nanhua is the only one with a population exceeding the two million mark. As for the others, they only have a population of one million.
Nanhua is prosperous, with the best companies, the best universities in Ming Dynasty gathered here, and of course, the best talents.
Every year around New Year's Day, graduating students from the University of Nanhua and more than a dozen other institutions of higher learning face the most important hurdle of their lives: getting a job in the next few months.
Royal Enterprise is of course the best choice. The so-called "Royal Enterprise" is naturally Nanhua Company and a series of corresponding subsidiaries, which is also the so-called "America Company"-Nanhua's founding company.
What kind of company is this?
Until now, the managers of South China and Alaska are still appointed by the company's board of directors, not the imperial center.
Rich as a country!
It's an unusual word to use to describe this company.
"To this day, 23,000 square kilometers of Nanhua City's 28,600 square kilometers of land still belong to the company. In Nanhua, except for the air, everything else either belongs to the company or is related to the company. Children are born in the company's hospital.
Study in the school built by the company, work in the company's enterprise, get married in the house built by the company, and finally, be buried on the company's land..."
Standing in front of the Nanhua Building, looking up at this hundred-meter-high building, Nicholas's mind came back to the satirical remarks he heard from a professor at the university about this "private city", mocking the city's 2.3 million people.
Citizens are exploited by the company in all aspects and are effectively equivalent to the company's 2.6 million "slaves".
Of course, not to mention that Nikolai didn't care about all this, even the vast majority of citizens scorned it. After all, as we all know, Nanhua's salary level has always been the highest in the Ming Dynasty.
And what most people desire is, of course, to join the company, become its staff or employees, and then work in the company until retirement.
However, for Nikolay, the reason why he is here today is because the company gave him a new opportunity.
Soon he walked into the front desk of the building lobby and introduced himself.
"Hello, miss, I, Tesla, have made an appointment with Manager Leng."
"Welcome, Mr. Te!"
The receptionist said with a smile.
"Manager Leng has been waiting for a long time."
Soon Tesla arrived on the 11th floor and met with the cold manager.
"Mr. Special."
Nikola Tesla, thinking about this man's name before he was naturalized, Leng Qingyun thought to himself.
This person is quite good at naming, but that's not surprising, there are some special Chinese surnames.
"Actually, when you won the "Royal Young Scholar Award" three years ago, the company had already noticed you, but we had no intention of disturbing your studies. Now, Mr. Tesla's is just as I promised before...
"
Leng Qingyun looked at the young scholar in front of him with a smile. He had become famous three years ago for inventing the "X-ray machine" for doctors, and became the winner of the "Royal Young Scholar Award" that year, although the bonus for this award was not high.
, and hundreds of people get it every year, but for young scholars, it means an unparalleled reputation.
"The company will fund you to set up a laboratory of your own. We will not interfere with any experiments you conduct. In your laboratory, you have complete autonomy."
This is the most generous thing about the company. As far as Tesla knows, at least dozens of well-known scholars in South China have received such treatment. The generous funding provided by the company not only allows them to engage in various aspects of research with peace of mind
, and can also engage in research that interests them.
Even the company doesn't care about the results they have achieved or how much money the company spends on them.
It seems that companies are more willing to see their bold attempts in many scientific research fields than results.
"How about it, Mr. Te, are you willing to become a partner of the company?"
Faced with such a generous offer, who would refuse?
In fact, when Tesla first arrived six years ago, he had dreamed of one day receiving such treatment. In his opinion, it was the company's generosity that allowed them to lead in many scientific fields.
all world contries.
Facing the extended right hand, Tesla took a deep breath, stretched out his hand, and shook it.
"Mr. Leng, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will prove to the company that you have a unique vision! You will not be disappointed!"
Nicholas's compliment made Leng Qingyun smile and shake his head.
"Mr. Ni, it's not me who has the unique insight, there is someone else who has the unique insight!"
Someone else?
Who is the one?
When leaving Nanhua Building, Nicholas had a question in his mind:
