Chapter 56 You have to be more confident (Second update, please collect)
Is it true?
This is the first time that Hedy Lamarr feels recognized for her talent, not her appearance.
Standing blankly in the corridor of the Pentagon, Hedy Lamarr looked at the man in front of her with disbelief.
Really beautiful!
Looking at the woman in front of him, Li Yi'an finally understood why actresses including Vivien Leigh praised her so much: With such beauty, there is no need for acting skills.
Yes, Hedy Lamarr does not need acting skills at all. She can perform perfectly just by standing still.
Just like now, standing there motionless is already touching the heart and soul.
However, everyone only saw her beauty, but ignored her talent.
Even after she invented radio frequency hopping technology, it was not adopted by the military because in the eyes of the military, she was just a vase. When she tried to hand over the radio frequency hopping patent to the military for free, At that time, the military checked the background of the vase and learned that her ex-husband was the Austrian arms tycoon Mandel, so it was even more afraid to use it. It must not be a spy sent by the enemy.
In this way, her patriotic actions ran aground.
Of course, it also prevents Hedy Lamarr from using her extraordinary wisdom!
The earliest realization of it that people know of was in the mid-1950s. The U.S. Navy gave the Hoffman Wireless Company a patent to produce sonobuoys and radios to accompany aircraft. However, the name of the inventor was redacted from the document and the information given was kept under wraps.
It was not until the late 1950s that Heidi's invention was widely used in military computer chips. This technology has also inspired scientists and has been widely used in the development of mobile phones, wireless phones and Internet protocols so that many people can use the same frequency band of radio signals. Eventually the Hoffman Radio Company completed the frequency hopping machinery. The military has also developed many products based on this, including drones that were widely used in the Vietnam War. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, "frequency hopping" formed a naval blockade between warships in the form of covert communications.
But the United States is suspicious of Heidi - not only because of her ex-husband's Nazi background, but also because of the inherent disbelief. The military does not believe that an actress and a musician cannot be as good as a weapons expert. Understand these principles better.
So much so that this technology that changed mankind was delayed for ten years!
Li Yian doesn't care whether this woman is beautiful or not, he only cares about one thing... He needs this woman!
This woman is needed to continue her research on radio frequency hopping! No matter what happens, I will buy her patent. Instead of being hidden by the US military!
Once you master this technology, you can open the door to the electronic world!
“Really, really?”
Heidi Lamarr's beautiful face showed joy from the bottom of her heart.
"Madam, don't doubt your talent. I believe that compared to your appearance, if given the right opportunity, it is your talent that will really impress the world."
Li Yi'an Said directly.
“I am now preparing to enter the radio communications market and plan to recruit technical personnel to set up a laboratory. If you are willing, madam, you can go to the laboratory to test your invention, and I will give you the best Assistant!”
“You, are you serious?”
Hedy Lamarr's tone still seemed a little uncertain, and she even said it directly.
“Is this an excuse for you to pursue me?”
As a woman, she is very aware of the problems her appearance brings to life. What a man thinks when he sees her is always How to...sleep with her, for which they would do anything.
“Madam, you have to believe in yourself.”
I don’t know whether you believe in yourself or not, but I definitely believe in you!
"I only need 100 US dollars a week, no, 80 US dollars..."
Hedy Lamarr stated her request directly. "As long as you fulfill your promise and agree to let me work in the laboratory, even 50 US dollars is fine."
As for salary, Hedy Lamarr's requirements are very low. A big star puts her salary on the salary of a third-rate actor in Hollywood. She cares more about the opportunity than the salary, an opportunity to discover her talents.
This is what she values most. After all, no one has ever given her such an opportunity.
Li Yian said, looking at the woman who was impatient and even lowered her status.
"Madam, please don't belittle your worth like this. I believe that every scientist has a worth that matches his status."
Li Yian said directly.
“For $600 a month, the company provides full medical insurance.”
$600 is simply not worth it for Hedy Lamarr, a big Hollywood star. It’s just a mention, but it’s definitely a high salary among scientists. Having met many scholars, she shook her head and said.
"Sir, thank you for your generosity, but we all know that under normal circumstances, the salary of an ordinary scholar is only about 400 US dollars, maybe even only more than 300 US dollars. The salary you gave is too high, I think 400 US dollars is just "Enough."
Heidi Rama's refusal is not surprising. After all, this is an owner who is willing to work in the laboratory for a salary of US$200. Faced with her refusal, Li Yian said directly. Said rightly.
"Madam, I said, be more confident, believe in yourself..."
Looking at the woman in front of him who is enough to make any man fall in love with her, Li Yian said.
“Believe in your talent, your talent is worth this salary!”
The word "worth it" made Heidi Lamarr feel a little excited. She didn't even know how to describe her feelings at this time. This was the first time since she was a teenager, and the first time until now that someone recognized her. Talent!
Instead of just looking at her face, in the eyes of many people, she is just a beautiful vase, almost everyone has the same idea, seeing her as a vase and thinking about entering her boudoir. Even her research results were looked down upon by the military, who even ridiculed her to her face that what an actress with a pretty face could do was not as good as using her face to promote war bonds.
This is what the world thinks of her, and now, for the first time, someone tells her - I appreciate your talent!
"Thank you, sir..."
Taking a deep breath, Hedy Rama looked at the man in front of her. It was only now that she noticed that not only was he extremely young, but also Very handsome.
"Thank you for giving me this opportunity. When can I go to New York?"
"Any time,"
Li Yian said.
"I will return to New York in these two days. You can deal with your affairs first, and then we will meet in New York."
Heidi Lamarr said directly.
"Sir, I don't have anything to deal with. When will you leave? We can go to New York together..."
