Ordinary Americans in the 21st century are indeed very happy, relying on the dollar, which has become the world currency, Americans can exchange cheap goods from all over the world as long as they print pieces of paper, so many people sharpen their heads and want to go to the United States, even if they are second-class citizens.
Americans in the nineteenth century could not talk about happiness, ordinary people like old Willy, who had worked hard all their lives, did not even have a pension, and had no guarantee of life, so it is understandable how excited old Willy was when he heard that he could continue to work.
With a carload of people's longing and hope, the train into the New York Railway Station, the Horse Group has arranged for someone to pick up the station, the carriage stopped on the platform, the old Willy they got off the train directly on the carriage under the envious eyes of other passengers, just arrived in New York to feel the privilege of the Horse Group in New York.
There are indeed privileges, such as large enterprises such as Junma Group and Standard Oil, which can enjoy a lot of privileges to a certain extent, such as special trains and horse-drawn carriages driving directly on the platform, which is just one of them.
It does sound a little unfair, but no one said anything about it, and others dared to be angry when they saw it, even if it was slander.
The number of old Willy is a bit large, so the Horse Group arranged the old Willy and them in the guest house of the Horse Automobile Factory, on the one hand, there are enough rooms here, and on the other hand, it can also let the old Willy feel the atmosphere of the Horse Group.
The guest house of the ZAMA Automobile Factory is not in the ZAMA Automobile Factory, but diagonally opposite the ZAMA Automobile Factory, next to the independent centennial exhibition under construction.
The greenery near the guest house is very good, after the horse automobile factory bought this land, it bought a lot of hundred-year-old trees to plant around the guest house, and even the sidewalks were all planted, so as soon as they arrived at the guest house, old Willy and they were shocked by the scene in front of them.
A green space in the steel forest is indeed a great contrast.
"You are staying here for a few days, this is your pass, with this, you can go to the restaurant to eat, or go directly to the canteen of the Junma Automobile Factory to feel in advance, with this, no matter what you eat, you don't need to pay, everything is paid by the Junma Group."
Grover took a stack of passes and handed them out to Old Willie, which was also one of the benefits of the Stallion Group.
"All so, if I want to buy a BMW," Tom whimsically.
"This is not included" Grover was not angry, thinking not too beautiful.
"Okay, as long as you work hard, there will be one in a few years" Treating his son, old Willie is still full of patience.
"That's right, I'll definitely buy it back, wait and see" Tom has ambition, if he can get a hundred dollars a month, then it really won't take a few years.
Tom's two children are also working, and their skills are not bad, and if they can get a hundred dollars a month, then buying a car or something is really not a problem.
"Okay brothers, you rest first, and I'll come back to see you later."
Grover took his leave after settling down, and he had to report to Li Mu.
Li Mu was in the lobby of Clinton Castle, and a group of people gathered around an operating table to watch the staff of the Junma Laboratory operate.
This is a gramophone that has just been successfully researched by the Junma laboratory, and the gramophone in Li Mu's impression is different, this phonograph has a large copper horn like a horn flower, and there is a sealed metal box under the horn, if you ignore the "horn flower" above, it looks similar to the water dispenser in Li Mu's impression.
This machine has just been delivered this morning, more than two months ahead of the time requested by Li Mu, and if this test is successful, then Li Mu will have to pay a bonus of nearly 800,000 US dollars.
Rockefeller was also in the crowd of onlookers, looking at the two busy staff, Rockefeller smiled dumbly: "It's such a thing worth $800,000, are you crazy or am I crazy?"
Rockefeller disapproves of Li Mu's heavy award, in Rockefeller's view, since the Junma Laboratory is funded by the Junma Group, no matter what kind of research results the Junma Laboratory has, it should belong to the Junma Group.
Li Mu doesn't think so, although Li Mu has not experienced a big pot of rice, but after Li Mu participated in the work, he has fully realized the difference between active and passive, not to mention this reward, as long as it can mobilize the enthusiasm of researchers, then it doesn't matter if it is a little more, because Li Mu is very sure that such an investment will not be compensated.
"Mr.
Reem, it's installed, now you can say a word, or sing a song, and the machine can repeat it."
The staff in the white coats were extremely proud, and they had already seen the functions of the gramophone, so they were full of confidence.
"Forget about singing, what is the capacity of this film" Li Mu asked the point, this.
"I can record for about five minutes."
The staff told the truth that the rules of the Junma Group are that there is no guilt for saying wrong, and there is a reward for saying the right thing, and only dishonesty will be punished.
"I don't sing, others ask for money when they sing, and I sing to death."
What Li Mu said was a bit exaggerated, but it also showed his attitude.
Fortunately, Li Mu had already prepared, and after listening to the staff installation, Li Mu beckoned to the direction of the small room on the side of the hall, and immediately a daughter with a violin came over: "Tess, now is the time for you to go out, come to a wanderer's song." ” "Why the Wanderer's Song I want to listen to Carmen" Rockefeller has a lot of things to do, and uses this place as a bar where you can order a song.
Well, in fact, the Clinton Castle Hall is similar to a bar, Li Mu and Rockefeller often hold banquets in the Clinton Castle, if there is no banquet task, the staff will put tables, chairs, coffee tables and other things in the hall, and there are professional bartenders to mix drinks for the members of the "Beach Club".
Tess obviously knew Rockefeller, and after listening to Rockefeller, Tess looked at Li Mu with embarrassment.
Rockefeller is the head snake of New York, and no one wants to offend Rockefeller if it is necessary.
"Okay, Carmen is Carmen."
Li Mu is good at talking, he doesn't care about his own people, he can listen to anything, as long as he can show the function of the gramophone.
Tess set up a position, watched the staff signal to her, and immediately began to play, playing Carmen Overture.
Just a month ago, the opera Carmen, composed by the French composer Bi Cai, was released at the New York Grand Theater, and the Carmen Overture, as the most famous instrumental passage in the opera, immediately became popular throughout New York, and Rockefeller was a loyal fan of Carmen.
The melodious violin sounded, and the hall was quiet enough to hear the stabbing sound of the magnetic head slicing across the film, and everyone held their breath, for fear that their voice would accidentally appear on what might be the world's first record.
Carmen's overture is only a little over three minutes long, and it doesn't matter if the record isn't full after it's finished, it's just a test anyway.
When the music was over, the two staff members went up for another while, but when the voice on the gramophone was remembered, Rockefeller's face turned green.
"Why is it the Wanderer's Song, I want to listen to Carmen" God, I don't know how the two staff members adjusted, but they actually recorded Rockefeller's words.
Li Mu was about to laugh like crazy, he just laughed twice, and suddenly closed his mouth.

"Laugh, laugh, laugh," Rockefeller sneered.
Sure enough, next was Li Mu's voice.
"Okay, Carmen is Carmen."
This time around, you must deduct the salaries of these two guys.
Li Mu was so fierce that the two staff members didn't dare to raise their heads.
Fortunately, there was a melodious sound of music that immediately came to mind, which alleviated Li Mu's embarrassment.
In fact, just when Rockefeller's voice sounded, someone began to ask Li Mu for a price.
"It's impossible to buy a patent, and it's almost the same to license it to you, as long as you pay royalties in accordance with the regulations."
Li Mu thought about it, and this time he was not going to eat alone.
Relying only on the strength of the Junma Group, it is still not strong enough, the people in the "beach club" are elites from all walks of life, if they participate, they will be able to do the gramophone market as quickly as possible.
Therefore, Li Mu is ready to license the phonograph to others to produce, and the Junma Group is wholeheartedly making records, which is a long-term market compared with the phonograph, and the profit is also higher.
There are many people who are interested in gramophone, and knowing that Li Mu wants to license the patent of the phonograph, someone immediately came to Li Mu.
"Regarding the issue of authorization, please contact our legal department" Li Mucai will not talk about it one by one, since there is a legal department, it is necessary to make the best use of it.
As he was talking, Li Mu looked up and saw Grover appear at the gate of Clinton Castle.
"Grover, you came just in time, talk to these gentlemen, your life is here" Li Mu finally found a life-saving straw, and immediately got out of the crowd.
Everyone else was busy looking for business, but Rockefeller was not in a hurry, the rhythm and tune of Carmen's Overture were very cheerful, and Rockefeller listened to it a little fascinated, and his legs were gently shaking to the rhythm of the music.
"Another great invention, I decided to put the gramophone on the market before the Centennial Exhibition of Independence, so that the exhibition area of our Junma Group will be expanded."
Li Mu has a little headache, but this headache "hurts" very happily.
"I feel more and more that you are unfathomable, you know, my Rockefeller laboratory has existed for more than a year, but has not made any achievements, if it weren't for your Steed Lab as a reference, I would even want to close it" Rockefeller was deeply resentful, I really can't figure it out, why are they all people, and the investment is similar, but the Rockefeller Laboratory just has no results
