Chapter 149: What Qualifications Does He Have For Me To Help? (7, Please Subscribe Automatically)
What does history look like?
In fact, everyone has his own answer in his heart.
only,
What everyone sees is not necessarily the truth.
That's why they expect it.
Ye Tian, an ancestor who has lived for so long, can tell everyone the truth.
But they never expected it.
The truth told by Ye Tian,
It turned out to be far from what everyone expected.
No.
To be more precise,
Ye Tian expressed,
It is not the truth of history, but the other side of history.
It's like he said Picasso.
That guy's painting is indeed very good, and his painting talent is unparalleled in the world.
but.
His views on emotions are simply outrageous.
And Edison.
It was even more surprising to everyone.
He is such a despicable and shameless guy.
"Ancestor, why is this Edison so bad?"
It was the first time Zhixun heard about these things and he subconsciously told Ye Tian.
"Is it bad?"
Ye Tian chuckled: "It's not that Edison was bad, but that at that time, he was no longer just an inventor, but a capitalist."
capitalist!
When I heard these three words.
Everyone was silent.
Seeing their expressions, Ye Tian said calmly: "What is a capitalist? I think you all know it, after all, it is written in the textbooks.
"Yeah, capitalist."
Xu Bao smiled bitterly: "We only remember that Edison changed our lives because of his inventions, but we forget that because of these inventions, he gradually became a rich man and a businessman."
"Isn't it?"
Sao Zhu nodded: "Once he becomes a capitalist, he is no longer just the Edison who invented the electric light."
The words of the two of them impressed everyone.
All are adults.
I actually know a lot of things.
Isn’t the live broadcast circle a disguised proof that capital can dominate everything?
And the biggest characteristic of capital.
Just for the sake of profit, you can do anything.
According to the book.
Capital is extremely ruthless when chasing profits.
Once there are appropriate profits, capital becomes bolder.
If there is a 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere.
With 20% profit, it becomes active.
With 50% profit, it takes desperate risks.
For the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample all human laws.
With a profit of 300%, it dares to commit any crime and even risk hanging.
This argument.
Now it seems that it is even a bit conservative.
Because in the eyes of capital, profit comes first and profit is above all else.
so.
If you think so,
Edison's behavior is understandable.
"Old ancestor, how do you know Edison~`?"
At this moment.
Chen Sigou remembered something and asked Ye Tian.
Others also looked at Ye Tian curiously.
Ye Tian shrugged and said calmly: "His first few inventions were made with my funding, and he signed an agreement with me before. I am eligible to take 5% of all inventions." An example of ten.”
Damn it!
!!!
Several people were dumbfounded.
"Fuck!"
"real or fake?"
"Is this a fucking joke?"
Since there are no cameras, everyone naturally has no scruples about talking.
They really didn't expect it.
Ye Tian turned out to be Edison's largest investor.
more importantly.
He actually watched Edison treat Tesla like this.
"Ancestor, since you are an investor in Edison, why do you want to watch him do that?"
The kind-hearted handsome man couldn't help but said: "What he did was so cruel!"
cruel?
Ye Tian glanced at the handsome man strangely: "I'm not Tesla's father, why should I be responsible for his life?"
Several people were speechless,
Think about it carefully,
That's really the truth.
Although Tesla's experience is indeed tragic.
But this does not become the reason for Ye Tian to help him.
on the contrary.
On Edison's side, the group can bring benefits to God.
Why should he help Tesla?
"Ancestor, shouldn't we live a kinder life?"
Dai Xiaomei came over at this time and asked puzzledly.
in her worldview.
This is not how you should be as a human being.
Helping others is a virtue. When did we have to pay attention to the exchange of benefits?
"Wei Wei, do you know what is the scariest thing about people?"
Ye Tian asked with a smile.
"Um, I don't know about that."
Shake his head slightly.
Ye Tian smiled slightly: "Xunzi said that human nature is inherently evil, and Mencius said that human nature is inherently good. In fact, they are both wrong, because human nature is not divided into good and evil at all."
???
???
Everyone was dumbfounded.
This is crazy,
Why do you start talking about philosophical issues?
On the contrary, he is a coward, thoughtful.
"What is man? Man is a kind of animal."
Ye Tian said calmly: "You will eat when you are hungry, and you will drink when you are thirsty. But similarly, people will only consider moral things such as etiquette, justice, integrity and shame when they ensure their basic survival. Of course, I am talking about the big picture Some people."
There was a pause.
Ye Tian said: "There is a small group of people who have their own beliefs in their hearts, so when they do things, they cannot be judged by simple philosophical theories."
“Take what happened with Tesla and Edison.”
Ye Tian said slowly: "Weiwei, do you think I should help Tesla?"
"Yes, he is so pitiful, and he was bullied into that state by Edison."
The silly little girl nodded,
That's exactly what she thought.
"Haha, what if I tell you that when Mr. Tesla joined Edison Studio, he had almost nothing except a letter of recommendation written by his former employer, Charles Barcello.
This letter was written to Thomas Edison, and the letter mentioned: I know two great people, one is you, and the other is this young man. "
Ye Tian looked at everyone and said slowly.
Everyone looked at each other, many of them didn't know this.
"Edison hired Tesla and put him to work at the Edison Machine Company.
Tesla began to design simple electrical appliances for Edison. He made rapid progress and soon was able to solve some of the company's very difficult problems.
Tesla was solely responsible for the redesign of Edison's DC motor. "
Ye Tian said with a smile: "During this period, the famous $50,000 incident happened, and then Tesla asked Edison to give him a salary increase, so he left two years later."
"After leaving, he established his own company, which was responsible for installing the arc lighting system designed by Tesla and designing the power system rectifier for the generator. This design was the first patent obtained by Tesla."
There was a pause.
Ye Tian shrugged: "Of course, he is a very good person. After Edison invented direct current, electrical appliances were widely used, but at the same time the electricity bill was very high, so operating and exporting direct current became the most profitable business at that time.
After Tesla invented alternating current, he obtained the right to undertake the power design of the Niagara Hydropower Station.
Since then, alternating current has replaced direct current as the mainstream power supply.
Tesla owned the patent for alternating current. At that time, Tesla had to pay a service tax of $2.1 for every horsepower of alternating current sold.
Driven by strong interests, a consortium at that time threatened Tesla to give up this patent and intended to monopolize profits.
at last,
Tesla chose to fight to the death.
Decided to give up the patent rights of alternating current, on the condition that the patent of alternating current will be permanently disclosed.
Damn it!
!!!
Hearing his words, Saozhu and others were all shocked.
They really don't know that Tesla is such a person.
In fact,
He truly blessed the world.
But the problem is.
This person’s original intention is probably to make money.
Otherwise, he would not choose to fight to the death after being coerced.
simply put,
Even if I can't get it, you can't get it either.
"This, this is too dark."
After a while.
Zhixun sighed.
"Dark?"
Ye Tian shrugged: "This has always been a dirty world, ranking with money, ranking with looks, ranking with power, ranking with everything you can't think of.
Finished.
He didn't bother to say anything else.
Turned around and returned to the room.
A group of people were left looking at each other.
Several young people stood there, completely at a loss what to say.
Saozhu came over and said to them with a smile: "Why, do you think what your ancestors said is completely different from the world you know?"
“Kind of”
"yes.
Several people nodded.
For them.
What Ye Tian said was really difficult to accept for a while.
"But have you ever thought about it, what if what our ancestors said is true?"
Saozhu said calmly: "According to our ancestors, the feud between Tesla and Edison is, to put it bluntly, a struggle for their own interests. So as bystanders and later generations, what qualifications do we have to criticize Edison?"
"If you are scolded for suppressing a competitor, how many people in the entertainment industry should die?"
Sao Zhu's last words made everyone surprised at first, and then they all laughed.
yes.
If you suppress someone, you will be scolded.
In the live broadcast circle, many people are really going to die.
