Chapter 468 The Forgotten Giant... (Subscription Request)
Sky-high investment!

How high?

Starting from 10 million pounds, there is no upper limit!!

As long as you have the skills, as long as your skills are good enough, 50 million pounds is not impossible! !

That's what the advertisement in the newspaper said.

He is so arrogant that he gives people the impression that he is a fool with a lot of money...

Is it gimmicky? Is it tempting?

of course!

In fact, after the advertisement was published in the newspaper, people came the next day, and then more and more people came, and some people came with a mouth, but they talked nonsense.

Talk about how great your research is, how great your technology is, etc...

Others brought some strange things, such as coils, an iron box, and a paper box.

Then he pointed to his paper box and said, this thing is very powerful. Once he has figured it out, he won't even need electricity. He can just press a switch to turn it on, and the TV will play automatically.

Wu Youde nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then stood up and left.

Are you treating him like a fool?
Therefore,
He gave the interview work to the sisters Dayuer and Xiaoyuer. He told them to carefully review the visitors and their projects first, and then call him if they thought they were reliable.

The two sisters were obviously very dedicated and did this.

On the phone, Xiao Yuer said that one of the callers was named Farnsworth. It was said that in 1927, Farnsworth's laboratory successfully completed the first all-electronic circuit television image - the transmission of a "straight line" on black glass.

It was because of hearing this news,

Wu Youde could no longer sit still and decided to return immediately, and asked Xiao Yuer and the others to keep Farnsworth.

……

After returning to London,

Wu Youde did not meet with Farnsworth immediately, but first looked at the intelligence that Xiao Yuer had been collecting and summarizing over the past few days...

This Farnsworth is really not an ordinary person!

Later, a battle for the invention of television broke out in the United States. One party was Farnsworth and the other was Zworykin.

This Zvorykin is also a genius,

This American invented the photoelectric camera tube, or electronic camera, and his research made it possible to transmit television image signals over long distances.

In 1939, Farnsworth won the patent battle!

The American Broadcasting Corporation, that is, Zworykin's company, lost the case and agreed to pay Farnsworth's patent fees, but unfortunately the good times did not last long...

World War II broke out.

TVs are no longer on sale!
Several of Farnsworth's patents began to expire in 1947.

ABC quickly took control of the production and sale of television sets, and ABC began to promote Zvorykin and Sarnov as the "fathers of television", while Farnsworth was almost forgotten...

……

After reading it,

Wu Youde was in a very good mood. This was definitely a big fish!

"What does he want?"

"Farnsworth said he has developed a mature color television image display system that is more mature and advanced than that of the ABC!"

"Well, then what?"

"He needs us to invest in him so that his experimental results can come out of the laboratory and enter people's homes, bringing joy to everyone and benefiting mankind."

Oh?
Wu Youde raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yu'er, "He said this? And it benefits mankind?"

Xiao Yuer nodded, a look of admiration on her face.

This surprised Wu Youde a little. Before he could ask, Xiao Yuer continued, "In order to research and invent, he sold his factory, house, and car.

Now the whole family lives in a cramped and simple laboratory. He is not a qualified husband and father, but I think he is an excellent inventor! "

Wu Youde asked curiously, "How do you know this?"

"I heard it from his wife and saw the photo in her hand," said Xiao Yuer.

"Is it his wife who came with him from the United States this time?"

"And his son and daughter, a family of four, all came."

"……All right."

A family should be neat and tidy, right?
Wu Youde smiled and felt more confident about this time. He had fallen into such a state, it would be easier for him to recruit him!
"Okay, then let's meet this talented inventor!" Wu Youde said with a smile.

This was not a joke, but he really believed it, because Xiao Yuer just said that Farnsworth started developing the receiver at the age of 14, and he finally succeeded at the age of 21.

This year, he started a device!
This was the first working television receiver, and in another room was the world's first television camera.

He invented a special image tube that can transmit the images captured by the camera to the TV! !
Only twenty-one years old...

If not genius, what is?
……

"Hello, Mr. Voss, nice to meet you!"

Wu Youde looked at the gray-haired, thin old man in front of him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile.

It is obvious that the financial situation of the father of television was very poor.

His black suit was very old. Although it was ironed very neatly, the fading signs in some places could not be concealed. And the pair of leather shoes on his feet had so many wrinkles on them...

"Hello, Mr. Wu, nice to meet you too!"

When I didn't see the mysterious investor,

Farnsworth was still very anxious and wanted to meet the other party immediately and have a good talk with him, but now that he actually met him, he felt calmer.

He is indeed an oriental person...

There was a hint of sadness in Farnsworth's eyes. In his opinion, the backward East certainly didn't know how great his invention was, and what it would bring to the world and to mankind...

Just then, he heard...

“Mr. Worth, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.”

Farnsworth was stunned, then looked up and saw Wu Youde looking at him seriously.

Is it possible to mislead others by having only a superficial understanding?

He pondered for a moment, then laughed, "Mr. Wu, you are right, I am ashamed of my thoughts!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter. We in the East are indeed very backward now. Most of the scientific inventions in the world were born in the West...

This is indeed true and cannot be changed!"

As he spoke, Wu Youde picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, and said with a smile: "But we in the East have not always been backward. Two thousand years ago, our ancestors knew how to drink tea from cups.

Saying two thousand years is too long, just this tea bowl and this teapot.

They were fired during the Ming Dynasty in my country, which is about 300 years ago...

The United States is very powerful now, but how long has it been established?
It's not even as long as this small tea bowl!"

"Please!" Wu Youde placed the tea in front of Farnsworth and said with a smile: "We have an old saying in the East, 'No one is perfect, no one is without fault.
The same applies to the country. Who can guarantee that it will always be ahead and never fall behind?
nobody! "

Farnsworth looked at the exquisite and gorgeous blue and white porcelain tea bowl in front of him, smelled the fragrant tea aroma, and nodded slowly.

"Mr. Wu, you are right."

"Ha ha……"

Wu Youde smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, let's not talk about that. You and I are just ordinary people, and national affairs are not something we can influence.

Let's talk about our own things...

Mr. Voss, I have heard about your experience from my sister. I really admire your persistence and dedication to scientific research!
To be honest, the person I most want to collaborate with, or the person I most desire to collaborate with, is an outstanding and persistent scientist like you!

Also, I sympathize with your experience!

The fruit should be enjoyed by the inventor, not by a thief, who takes it as a shortcut to success and enjoys the flowers and applause that should belong to the inventor...

This behavior is extremely immoral and I think it is a crime!
It should be condemned and even better, sanctioned!!”

Upon hearing this,
Farnsworth suddenly became excited, and his hands holding the tea bowl began to tremble. He put the tea bowl down and looked at Wu Youde with excitement.

"That's right!"

"This is a crime! A blatant crime! Not only is it a crime, it is also a violation of science! This behavior is absolutely unforgivable!"

Farnsworth said indignantly. He is already over fifty years old, a real old man, but when he spoke these words, his voice was still full of energy and as loud as a bell.

Obviously, he still couldn't swallow the anger in his heart.

In fact, if you think about it, it is completely understandable. Whenever anyone develops a great thing, before he starts making money, someone will come out and say that this thing was developed by me.

Are you disgusted?
It must be disgusting!

You obviously bought my stuff, took it apart, cracked the principles behind it, and then claimed the technology as your own.

If it were just this, it would be fine...

But you still have the nerve to sue me, the original creator?

Worse yet,
As soon as the patent protection period expired, that person jumped out again. This time he was so unscrupulous and made a big fuss about it. He also used my technology to mass-produce, produce and sell it, and even portrayed himself as the "original inventor"...

In the end, I, the inventor, became a passerby...

Not only for profit, but also for reputation!!
Who can stand this? ?
No wonder Farnsworth, even though he is fifty years old, is still so indignant.

Wu Youde kept a serious expression.
Changing the subject, he asked, "I heard that you have developed a new technology. Can you tell me more about it? I'm very interested!"

"of course can!"

Speaking of this,

Farnsworth was a little excited again. He had done nothing in the past ten years. He just spent every day in the laboratory doing research.

God will not let down those who work hard.

Finally there is new progress!
Immediately, he invited Wu Youde to his room, saying that he had brought his research results and wanted to demonstrate them in person, which would be more convincing.

You can see that he is very confident!

Wu Youde readily agreed and followed immediately...

……

after an hour,

Wu Youde held Farnsworth's hands with both hands and shook them vigorously several times, and then shook them a few more times.

"Mr. Voss, I heard that your country, oh, that thief company, also developed a color television system at the beginning of this year. I wonder how your research results are different from theirs?
Or are you all the same? "

"Oh! I love what you call them!"

Farnsworth gave Wu Youde a thumbs up, and then he said with disdain: "I have seen their TV. Although it is colorful and good, it still has many defects!"

"For example?" Wu Youde asked.

"Their TVs had fuzzy images, and after a while the screen would start flickering, and they would have to shut down for a while to cool down, and then turn it back on to fix that," Farnsworth said.

Also, the colors of their TV images are sometimes distorted, and the TV noise is loud and rustling, which sounds extremely unpleasant and cannot bring entertainment to people at all!"

Wu Youde asked, "What about your research results? Can they solve their problems?"

"Of course!"

Farnsworth nodded proudly, his back straight at this moment.

Wu Youde became interested and asked, "How did you solve it? Is your cathode ray tube of higher quality? Or is the material you used better?"

"Is such that……"

Farnsworth began to explain in a long and rambling manner, not caring whether Wu Youde could understand him or not. He just kept saying...

Ok.

Wu Youde indeed didn’t understand a lot of things, but he could read and knew what was good and what was bad.

He turned on the TV that Farnes brought and kept playing the program.

After playing for nearly an hour, the picture still didn't change much. He touched the back of the TV and found it was a little hot.

Just for this point, you are basically qualified.

But he didn't stop testing and decided to play it for another hour.

Farnsworth nodded in agreement and offered to demonstrate his camera to him. Wu Youde was also very interested in the camera, thinking that this thing would be very useful in the future.

After reading it,

Wu Youde was convinced: This Farnsworth is truly a genius!
The camera is also in color, and the recording is very smooth. The image is very clear in this day and age, but you can't ask for too much.

At the very least, Wu Youde felt that this image was much clearer than the color photos he had taken in the capital before, and that was enough!

Now that we have the technology, we can just continue researching and improving the image quality.

Not bad, not bad, no matter what the old man says, you have to stay!

"Mr. Voss, I am very satisfied with your research results. I am willing to invest in you. What are your requirements? Tell me."

Wu Youde decided to get straight to the point and show his sincerity first.

Hearing this,

Farnsworth clenched his fists tightly, his face flushed, and he said excitedly: "Oh, that's great! This is an extremely wise decision!

Mr. Wu, I need 10 million pounds. I want to reopen a factory.

Believe me, our products will definitely be popular with everyone, in short supply, and we will make a lot of money! ”

Wu Youde did not comment and smiled, "Then what can I get?"

"Twenty percent of the shares, and you will have 20% of the profits from the future factory!" Farnsworth said.

Twenty percent?

Wu Youde laughed...
