Of course this is not a problem. Among the American capitalists at this time, who doesn’t have hundreds of gunmen under his command? If necessary, they will kill people, set fires, and engage in explosives. If Yang Feng does not make such a request, then it will not be possible.
It was normal. Although he then suggested that these security guards might include a certain number of Chinese, which was not very pleasant, it was understandable. After all, people still rely on their compatriots to feel at ease.
Those senators immediately patted their chests and assured that in the free and equal United States, Boss Yang could develop his own business without any worries, and then began to ask Yang Feng where he planned to build his industry. This was very important to them.
For those who are concerned, you should know that it is a huge political achievement to attract such a big donor to the state you represent.
"I plan to build a tractor factory in Detroit." After Yang Feng said this, the Michigan senator next to him smiled happily.
"As for the radio transmitting station, it will naturally be in New York. Real estate investment is hard to say. In fact, the real estate investment I am talking about is not real estate in the city, but investment in animal husbandry and planting. In addition, I have to build a few for myself.
In resort areas, I like to get close to nature, especially those forest valleys that are far away from the hustle and bustle, such as the environments in Texas and Florida, which I like very much." Yang Feng said.
"Mr. Yang, you have such good taste," the senator from Texas said with a smile.
"Mr. Congressman, the place I want to buy is quite big." Yang Feng said with a smile.
"Mr. Yang, Texas has 700,000 square kilometers. I believe you have enough choices." The senator said with a smile. Since Boss Yang likes deserted mountains and wilderness, then Texas is not suitable now.
In the absence of such a place, as long as he has money, even if the land he wants to buy is measured in square kilometers, there will be no problem.
Of course, what he is talking about now are just some intentions. He wants to let the wind out first and force the US Patent Department to quickly approve his various patent applications. As for future construction, he does not need to take care of it at all.
Just take responsibility for your subordinates in Europe.
His investment plans were published in major newspapers in New York the next day. It can be said that it caused an uproar in this future capital of the world. For a time, the Chinese riding the British royal carriage quickly became the focus of American public opinion.
focus.
At this time, the focal figure was discussing their cooperation with Edison. Yang Feng did not want to offend such a local snake in the United States. In addition, Edison is currently the largest power supply system manufacturer. Of course, it is DC. He can use other methods.
In the United States, General Electric's tungsten filament light bulbs were suppressed, so Yang Feng was ready to simply cooperate with him in this regard.
"The generators Edison sells in the United States in the future must be equipped with steam turbines or diesel engines manufactured by Young Power Systems. In return, the British General Electric Company will allow Edison to use the tungsten filament light bulb patent in the United States for free. In addition, it will also serve as a
The only partner of General Electric Radio System in the United States will obtain the paid patent rights to use the radio transmission system in the United States after the five-year restriction between General Electric and the British Admiralty expires," Yang Feng said.
It should be said that this is a proposal that is beneficial to both parties. To enter the U.S. market, Young Power Systems must have a strong partner, and there is no one more suitable than Edison.
And Edison couldn't stop the invasion of tungsten filament bulbs. He could only delay it. The advantages of this kind of thing were too obvious. His own bamboo carbon bulbs were simply vulnerable to it. Although he could take some behind-the-scenes measures, it would take too long.
Maybe it will cause more harm to himself. There is not only one power supply system manufacturer in the United States. For example, his archrival Westinghouse is now aggressively provoking him with AC power. If Yang Feng is pushed to Westinghouse,
Bian, I am really tired of the Edison Company, not to mention that Yang Feng also added a wireless communication cooperation.
As a shrewd businessman, Edison quickly made his choice and agreed to Yang Feng's proposal.
Edison's choice made Boss Yang laugh very sinisterly. He just wanted to help Edison suppress Westinghouse. It would be best to bankrupt Westinghouse and Xingda Shen directly and go to jail, so that Americans can continue to make great strides on the road of direct current.
Moving forward, as for alternating current, let’s leave such a dangerous thing to General Electric!
In fact, he had already taken action at this time. General Electric was registering a series of three-phase alternating current patents in the UK. In addition to the existing three-phase alternator, asynchronous motor, and three-phase transformer, almost everything else that Yang Feng could think of was registered.
, including air switches, contactors, and even electromagnetic speed-regulating motors. He wants to build a complete three-phase AC power supply system in Gothenburg, from large thermal power plants to electric motors.
For this reason, they even started poaching Edison. The father of three-phase AC power supply, Dobrowski, an engineer of Edison's German branch, has been taken over by General Electric. It must be explained that the great god is not the legendary father of AC.
, this Russian guy is the one who invented the three-phase AC system we use now, from the generator to the transformer.
The Great God is not even ranked in the top three in the history of the development of alternating current. His most important contribution is the invention of the asynchronous motor. The theoretical system was established by Faraday. The first single-phase AC power supply system was developed by the British and is now in operation.
Many years ago, the first set of modern universal three-phase electricity was made by Dobrowski. Even the earliest transformer was not invented by him, but by the Austrians. At this time, it was already available on the market, and we finally
The familiar oil-immersed transformer was made by his boss Westinghouse.
Edison also knew that General Electric had poached an engineer from its European branch, but he did not know this person personally, and he was also resistant to alternating current.
What to do with the system? You can draw whatever you want on a piece of white paper, but if you want to re-draw on a painting, it would be strange if the original author didn’t fight you! This has nothing to do with those high-sounding reasons and character, this is
Chiluoluo's interests determine it. Behind Edison is an entire interest group, not him alone.
After negotiating the cooperation with Edison, Yang Feng paved the way for General Electric and Young Power to enter the United States. The next step was to wait for his patent to be authorized. The Americans did not let him wait too long on this point.
After several senators strongly criticized the efficiency of the patent review department in Congress, and even claimed that the federal director of patents should be dismissed, it took less than a week for Yang Feng to obtain all of his patent authorizations.
Immediately afterwards, the tractor factory construction personnel dispatched from Sweden arrived in the United States by ship. At the same time, a set of transcontinental transmission radio transmission equipment was also shipped from the United Kingdom. After installation and commissioning by General Electric engineers, it arrived in Yangfeng.
One month after the United States, radio waves finally crossed the Atlantic Ocean, and mankind officially entered the era of intercontinental wireless communication.
This set of transmitters aroused crazy pursuit in the New World. Just like they pursued Edison, Yang Feng was immediately given various incredible titles and various rumors.
He said it was a Godzilla.
At this moment, Boss Yang had already boarded the train going south and began his journey across the United States. Along with him was Texas Senator Howard. This guy was now serving his lover.
He also served Yang Feng with the same meticulous care.
Because Yang Feng had already told him the area of land he would buy in Texas, this guy took a pencil on the Texas map of what would become the East Texas oil field in front of Senator Howard.
When the circle came out, Howard almost fainted.
Boss Yang only knew the approximate location of the East Texas oil field. He was not interested in buying it in small pieces, so he simply circled more than a thousand square kilometers.
"This place is very nice. I like the forest the most." This guy looked at the circle he drew with great satisfaction, and then looked at Senator Howard's mouth in a strange way, where he could put his fist directly.
: "Senator, why do you look like this?"
"You included Longview," Howard said with difficulty.
"Is there anyone there?" Yang Feng asked curiously.
"Yes, but not many. This is just a small town." Howard said.
"Isn't that simple? I believe you and the Texas government can solve this small problem, right? You see, I am going to spend two million dollars at once. What does this mean to Texas? I believe you
You know better than I do, and I believe you also know how valuable this forest is. Twenty years ago, the federal government only spent 7 million to buy Alaska. Now one is willing to pay one-third of Alaska’s value.
For someone who buys a small piece of forest, I think the people of Texas should meet his personal requirements. A person who likes a quiet life will definitely not want a group of rough lumberjacks living next to him.
If I can't even do this, then there is no need for me to invest in Texas." Yang Feng said threateningly.
"Mr. Yang, you also know that the American system makes it difficult for state governments to take coercive measures on this kind of matter." Howard said awkwardly.
"Mr. Senator, you are not a friend enough. With your wisdom, you can't even solve this small problem? There is a virgin forest there, and many people can help us. What kind of Ku Klux Klan, fugitives, and illegal immigrants from Mexico?"
It could happen, or an accidental fire could happen." Boss Yang reminded him kindly.
Senator Howard found that this guy was no less evil than a professional politician like himself. Of course, these may indeed be among his alternatives.
"In addition, I need to remind you that my budget is only two million US dollars. If these poor people want more, then there will be less for others." Yang Feng said lightly.
Howard still didn't understand what this guy meant. Naturally, he wasn't following An Qian Ma Hou to benefit the people in his hometown. At this time, all fubai in the United States had clearly marked prices. Yang Feng promised that the two million US dollars would be left over in addition to the cost of purchasing the land.
It was all divided between him and the Texas government officials. If the loggers made more from Yang Feng, then they would also make less. The truth is clear.
"Mr. Yang, you can rest assured that the people of Texas will definitely provide our friends with the greatest convenience." He immediately said with a sacred look.
