1855 United States Tycoon

The mood of a pregnant woman is changeable. Before Scrooge came back, Catherine made Carol swear countless times that she would never leave her and the child and go to Minnesota. Carol promised his wife countless times that he would never leave him, and he believed that Scrooge would not send him to faraway Minnesota at this time. Because, in the sparsely populated MacDonald family, a child named MacDonald, regardless of gender, is more important than the development of an iron ore, even the largest iron ore in United States. Moreover, the current iron ore production capacity in their hands has not been insufficient. Even if the steel plant expands further, the purchase price of some secondary iron ore with high phosphorus content will not be too expensive. The super iron ore will definitely be a big source of wealth for the family in the future, but now, it is far from the time to develop it. Woolen cloth.

If it is normal, this kind of reason can definitely convince Catherine, because Catherine is also a very rational woman, but even a reasonable woman is a woman after all, and the perceptual element is much higher than that of her husband. Scrooge's rational monster is even more incomparable. Coupled with the influence of things like pregnancy, all kinds of anxiety, anxiety, etc. all appeared. As a result, Carol's explanation has no effect at all.

It wasn't until Scrooge entered the house and appeared in front of their young couple that this matter had a result.

"Hi, Carol, hi, Catherine, how are you." Scrooge said hello to the Carol and his wife, "How is everything at home?"

"Well, it's good! It's good at home and the steel company." Carol said.

Catherine pulled Carol's clothes lightly.

"Oh, there is good news." Carol said, "Catherine is pregnant, and you will have a nephew or niece soon. Well, Scrooge, so there are some things that you can only do. Now," Carol said.

"Really? Congratulations Carol! You are going to be a dad! Haha! Well, now, the next generation of the family is the overwhelming thing. Catherine, the ore transportation and dock you were in charge of, for the time being Don’t worry about it, I’ll find someone else to do it. And Carol, I will also find someone to share some things with you, so that you can accompany Catherine more.” Scrooge said happily, “ It's a pity that this child is too young. If he could grow to eighteen years old at once, it would be great."

"Then you have another big animal." Carol laughed.

"Carol, we are all cattle, but your children will not be cattle. If we can't let him live like a king until he is eighteen, then we have failed too much." Zhi smiled and sat down on the sofa, "Well, Carol, Catherine, you guys sit down too, don’t stand. I’ll have Dr. Menger call in for a while and ask him to organize an expert team, twenty a day. Stay at our house for four hours on standby."

"Isn't that necessary?" Carol was taken aback.

"Why not?" Scrooge said, "The next generation of the family, this matter is more important than the Pacific Railroad."

"Speaking of the Pacific Railroad." Catherine said, "I heard you found a big iron mine in Minnesota?"

"Yes, a large iron ore, the largest in the United States. But it is not yet ready to be developed. It can be regarded as an unexpired fixed deposit in the bank." Scrooge smiled.

Carol turned his head, looked at his wife and smiled.

At this moment, the servant Pat came over suddenly.

"Mr. Scrooge, Heishui has sent you a telegram." Pat said, and handed Scrooge an envelope. Scrooge opened the envelope, and there was a line on it: "The man has been found and is coming!"

"Well, not bad." Scrooge put the telegram away and motioned for Pat to leave.

"Scrooge, what's the matter?" Carol asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that I found a gold mine." Scrooge said with a smile.

When Thomas Edison learned that his idol, the tycoon Mr. Scrooge McDonald, was going to see him, he was stunned. Especially when the blackwater internal affairs staff who found him told him that Mr. MacDonald admired the automatic call sign he designed and wanted to talk to him in person. At the age of sixteen, Edison began to wonder if he was dreaming. He even pinched himself severely in front of the staff member.

A few days later, in the large laboratory of the McDonald College of the University of Cleveland, Scrooge cordially received the future king of invention.

According to Scrooge's arrangement, the staff took Edison around the big laboratory first. All kinds of high-end and western-style experimental equipments almost blinded Edison's eyes. Until he finally saw Scrooge, he hadn't fully awakened.

"Are you Mr. Edison?" Scrooge greeted him and took Edison's hand.

"Ah, Mr. MacDonald, ah, I..." Flattered, Edison didn't know what to say.

Scrooge smiled. He knew that Edison at this time was not the student who got into Qian's eyes with his forehead. The current Edison is still young and is still at a stage where he can be cultivated and cultivated. If he changes to the later Edison, it will be much more difficult to deal with.

"Let's sit down and talk," Scrooge said.

"Mr. Edison, I visited the large laboratory just now, any ideas?" Scrooge asked.

"Ah, Mr. MacDonald, this laboratory is so real..." Edison thought for a long time, but he really didn't think of a word that could describe this big laboratory.

Scrooge looked at him with a smile: "I wonder if you are interested in working here, Mr. Edison?"

"What? Come here to work?" Edison felt that it was as if a gold brick had suddenly fallen from the sky in front of him.

"But... but I only read elementary school for three months. And this is a university that the entire United States can rank in!" Edison said.

"Ah, I just promised to be a professor of chemistry in this university. I even went to Cambridge University to give lectures." Scrooge pretended to be anxious. I never went to college, just a junior high school student."

"Mr. MacDonald, you are different, you are a genius..." Edison said.

"My knowledge comes from self-study and own research. Mr. Edison, to become an expert, one does not necessarily have to go to college. As long as he is talented, curious, and eager to learn, then any place in Life can be his University. I have always believed that the so-called genius is only one percent talent plus ninety-nine percent hard work. I saw the little gadget you designed, which is very imaginative, and I also learned from I saw that your theoretical foundation is actually very good, definitely surpassing most of the so-called prestigious university students. The telegraph operator is not suitable for you, the profession of repeated labor. Let me not be humble, I think you and I am very similar, suitable for more creative work." The brazen Scrooge did not hesitate to pirate the famous line that the original copyright should belong to Edison, and in turn used this sentence to fool the young Edison.

This sentence originally from Edison hit Edison's heart all at once. He stood up gratefully, and in a trembling voice, he said to Scrooge: "Mr. MacDonald, thank you for your encouragement. You know, I have been very poor at home since I was a child. I am very naughty and always easy to give. I was in trouble at home. I was expelled after only three months in elementary school. Later I found a lot of jobs, but in fact I don’t like those jobs. I always can’t control myself and want to change the world like you. Invented, but the work was not done well. I kept being expelled and wandering. I even thought, maybe I should give up those unrealistic ideas. Honestly, just be a technology worker, but... "

"But God will not let a genius be buried in vain. Mr. Edison, I have a research project here, which is based on a paper by Mr. Maxwell and me, about wireless communication. I want to know, you are now Mastery of electricity and mathematics. Well, if you can read this paper and this design drawing. I can directly hire you as a researcher for this research project. So that you can engage in something that can really use your talents Professional."

Edison took the circuit diagram and the paper with a trembling hand, and looked at it. After a while, he raised his head and said to Scrooge in frustration: "Mr. MacDonald, I can understand the circuit diagram, but I don't understand the mathematical process in this paper. I think..."

"It's a pity," Scrooge said. "Mr. Maxwell found in this paper the most beautiful set of equations in mathematics so far, so perfect that they are like the poetry of the goddess of mathematics. But there is something involved. Some of the advanced mathematics is somewhat difficult. Mr. Edison, unfortunately, I can’t directly hire you as a researcher. However, I can make you an assistant researcher and arrange for you to learn some related mathematics in this school. . Well, every week, I can pay you thirty dollars first. What do you think?"

After Edison heard Scrooge's words, he didn't react for a while. After a while, he understood. He said excitedly: "Thank you so much! Mr. MacDonald, you must be the angel God sent to save me. Thank you, thank you!"

After finishing Edison, Scrooge got into the carriage and returned to his office at the McDonald Infantry Weapons Company. In a good mood, Scrooge even hummed a song triumphantly when he moved to the office.

At this time, Anna walked in silently, her face seemed a bit wrong, she seemed to have a lot of thoughts.

Scrooge noticed Anna's state, so he stood up, walked over to Anna, wrapped his arms around Anna's shoulders, and asked, "Anna, what's the matter, what's the matter?"

"Scrooge, I..." Anna hesitated.

"Sit down and talk!" Scrooge helped Anna to sit down on the sofa, and then sat beside her.

"What's the matter, Anna? Tell me, trust me, I can help you." Scrooge said softly.

"Scrooge, I..." Anna lowered her head, her voice buzzing like a mosquito, "I...I'm pregnant."
