Chapter 65 Making money with knowledge

"Principal, you can't favor one person over another!"

"That's right, show me a way to get rich too!"

……

When several students saw that Duval and the others were able to make money, they immediately became unbalanced.

Frederick was a little helpless, and he was a little convinced by these nerds.

"Everyone, don't worry!" He could only say, "There are always ways to make money, and there are many more!"

"Everyone might as well walk around, see more, think more, and think about what inconveniences in life and work can be improved and replaced by more advanced technology, and this replacement can be earned Money."

"There are many examples like this. The big ones include blowers for iron smelting furnaces and water pumps for farmland, and the small ones include machines for washing clothes and doing housework. It depends on whether you can find them."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for any reaction from the others, he called Ogilvy and Diesel to slip away.

Ogilvy's office in the blacksmith shop is like a study. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the smell of parchment, ink, and women's perfume.

"She is my wife." Ogilvy introduced to Frederick, "and also my assistant."

After Frederick and Mrs. Ogilvy greeted each other, Mrs. Ogilvy poured tea for everyone, and then went to prepare lunch for them.

Diesel said to Ogilvy with a smirk: "Just now your introduction was reversed. It should be the assistant first, and then the wife."

Frederick understood as soon as he heard it, this kind of thing is quite common among scholars.

He didn't pursue gossip, and asked Ogilvy after taking a sip of tea: "Now that there is a suitable power source, can the improvement of the machine tool be carried out?"

Ogilvy said proudly: "We have already made improvements. The new lathes, drilling machines, boring machines, grinding machines and punching machines have produced two to three prototypes. I think the improvements on the original machines are of little significance. can make the transition."

Then he said helplessly: "It's just that many people have a problem now. They all want to make a lot of money like BASF, and they don't care about it."

The power of role models is too great, and it happens to people you are familiar with, so it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate for a while.

Diesel also said with a little helplessness: "Yeah, don't say that the students of Ogilvy and BASF used to study together, even the students on my side have the same thoughts. Duval, when he heard that the principal was looking for him Coming soon."

Frederick had nothing to do with this situation, and he could only say: "Maybe suggest to them why they have the illusion that the projects I focus on cannot make money."

"Not to mention anything else, there are machines for mass-producing screws and nails, as well as machines for producing wires and plates. They can make money, but there must also be machines for making them."

All he can do now is rely on his own brand to stabilize some people.

Ogilvy said: "Principal, otherwise, come up with any good ideas you have, and we will organize the students in the school to study."

Frederick thought for a while, and felt that this was not bad.

I have a lot of things, but I can only think of a general idea. For example, it is impossible to recall all the more than 40 parts of the "Commune Hao" universal simple rolling mill.

It is better to let them study the details, so as to cultivate a group of talents, and they can also have the energy to carry out theoretical work.

After thinking for a while, Frederick said: "It is better to build an industry-university-research platform in the university as a link between knowledge and industry."

Ogilvy and Diesel looked at each other, vaguely understanding the meaning, but not fully understanding.

Diesel motioned Ogilvy to ask, he had the most contact with Frederick, so he could better understand the principal's thoughts.

"How does the platform work?" Ogilvy asked.

After sorting out his thoughts, Frederick said: "The platform we built is oriented to both the school and the society. The workshop can put the problems encountered in production on this platform, and indicate the corresponding remuneration after solving the problems."

"In simple terms, this is a market where money is used to buy knowledge and knowledge is used to make money."

Ogilvy thought for a while after hearing this, and said, "This is a bit like a wanted warrant, but the wanted criminals have become difficult problems. We are bounty hunters."

Diesel nodded and said, "That's fine. Sometimes we encounter situations that we don't understand and need help from others. If we don't know someone who can provide help, we have to ask around to find out who to ask for help."

Then he said to Ogilvy: "Let's discuss it tomorrow and try to come up with a plan before Winter Spirit Festival."

Ogilvy frowned suddenly, and then said: "We should keep some technologies secret. If the technology is leaked, there will be a lot of trouble."

Frederick was just about to talk about this, but he was relieved to see that they also considered this.

He said to Ogilvy: "Now let's mass-produce today's magical muscle machines, as well as supporting winches and plowshares. It's best to catch up with next year's spring plowing. Making money is important."

Ogilvy replied: "This is no problem, we can improve the cooling system while producing, and we can produce one or two prototypes before Winter Spirit Festival."

Frederick immediately said, "Well, if a set can be produced before Winter Soul, I'll give it away for advertising."

Ogilvy immediately agreed.

Diesel said quietly to him from the side: "Don't forget about my affairs, the dark steel pots and light tin are the most important, and the pipes can be obtained later."

Ogilvy replied: "I know, I know, I will arrange someone to prepare it for you tomorrow."

Frederick thought for a while, and asked Karpo to leave the study and close the door, and then said: "This matter is also very important. It involves new weapons for the territory. I will not talk about it until after the New Year."

"I see." Ogilvy frowned, "Principal, do you really want to use that kind of thing as a weapon?"

When they met for the first time, Frederick proposed the idea of ​​a magic air gun at dinner, but no one cared about it at the time, because no one can tell how powerful this thing is, and I thought it was stronger than a slingshot .

Diesel threw a magic cover to isolate the sound transmission, and said in a low voice: "We did an experiment a few days ago, using the steel ball of the bearing as the projectile, using a steel pipe as the conduit, and the target was a pig 50 meters away.

"If the power of the spray can is even stronger, as long as it can be hit, it is really not a problem to replace the bow and crossbow."

"Compared to the bow and crossbow, it does not have the disadvantages of rain and humidity causing damage to the strings, and it only consumes very little energy."

Ogilvy's research on golem puppets is to be used for fighting. Don't look at how many civilian products such as bearings have been made recently. In terms of military knowledge, no one in Weissburg University can match it. When I heard it, I immediately discovered the problem: "As long as you can hit it? Does it mean it's hard to hit it?"

Diesel said a little discouraged: "Yes, the flight path of the projectile after leaving the tube is random and erratic."

Frederick squeezed his chin and thought about it, and decided to take this opportunity to tell the whole story about the equipment and let them study it.

According to his position, Ogilvy is more responsible for manufacturing and processing, and Diesel is responsible for the theoretical design of products.

They were all there today, and they simply poured out the equipment they imagined.

After Diesel sighed and finished talking about the accuracy problems he found in his experiments, Frederick asked Ogilvy for blank parchment, carbon pens, and rulers.

While trying to think about memories, he began to write and draw on the parchment.
