Chapter 65: Making money with knowledge
“Principal, you can’t favor one over the other!”
“That’s right, show me a way to make a fortune!”
……
Several students immediately felt unbalanced when they saw that Duval and the others could make money.
Frederick was a little helpless, and he was a little convinced by these nerds.
“Don’t worry, everyone!” He could only say, “There are always ways to make money, and there are many more!”
“Why don’t you walk more, see more, and see more? Think about it, think about what inconveniences in life and work can be improved and replaced with more advanced technology, and this replacement can make money."
"This way. There are many examples. The big ones include blowers for iron-making furnaces and water pumps for farmland, and the smaller ones include machines for washing clothes and doing housework. It depends on whether you can find them."
Finished. After that, without waiting for anyone else's reaction, he told All Might and Diesel to run away.
All Might's office in the blacksmith shop is like a study. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the smell of parchment, ink, and women's perfume.
“She is my wife.” Omet introduced to Frederick, “She is also my assistant.”
After Frederick and Mrs. Omet greeted each other, Omet Mrs. Matt poured tea for everyone and then went to prepare lunch for them.
Diesel smiled evilly and said to All Might: "Your introduction was wrong just now. It should be the assistant first, and then the wife."
Frederick understood it as soon as he heard it. , this kind of thing is quite common among scholars.
He did not pursue the gossip. After taking a sip of tea, he asked Ogilvy: "Now that we have a suitable power source, can the improvement of machine tools be carried out?"
Ogilvy said proudly: "We have long ago Improvements have been made, and two to three prototypes of new lathes, drills, boring machines, grinders and punches have been built. I think the improvements on the original machines are of little significance and can only be made as a transition.”
Then he said with some helplessness: "It's just that many people now have a problem. They all want to make a lot of money like BASF, but their minds are not on it."
The power of role models is too great, and it happens all around them again. When someone is familiar with someone, it is inevitable that people's hearts will fluctuate for a while.
Diesel also said with a little helplessness: "Yeah, not to mention those students from Ogilvy and Mather used to study together with BASF, even the students here have the same idea, this guy Duval I came as soon as I heard the principal was looking for me.”
Frederick had no idea about this situation and could only say: "I might as well give them a hint as to why they have the illusion that the project I am focusing on cannot make money."
"If nothing else, just mass-produce screws. Machines for making nails, as well as machines for producing wires and plates, you can make money by making them, but you also need the machines to make them.”
What he can do now is rely on his own. The signboard has stabilized some people.
Omet said: "Principal, how about this? If you have any good ideas, we will organize the students in the school to study them."
Frederick thought about it After a while, I thought this was not bad.
There are many things that I can only recall in general. For example, it is impossible to recall all the more than 40 parts of the "Commune" universal simple rolling mill.
It is better to let them study the details, so as to cultivate a group of talents, and they can have the energy to carry out theoretical work.
After thinking for a while, Frederick said: "It is better to build an industry-university-research platform in the university as a link between knowledge and industry."
Omet and Diesel looked at each other. At a glance, I vaguely understood the meaning, but I didn't fully understand it yet.
Diesel motioned to All Might to ask. He had the most contact with Frederick and could better understand the principal's thoughts. Ogilvy asked: "How does this platform work?"
After sorting out his thoughts, Frederick said: "The platform we have built is for the school and the society. The workshop can put the problems encountered in production into this platform and mark the corresponding responses after solving the problems. "
"To put it simply, this is a market where money is used to buy knowledge and knowledge is used to make money."
After hearing this, Ogilvy thought for a moment and said: "This is. It's a bit like a wanted order, but the wanted criminals have become a problem, and we are bounty hunters."
Diesel nodded and said, "That's okay, sometimes we all encounter situations that we can't handle. Understand where others need help. If someone you don’t know can provide help, you will have to ask around to find out who to ask for help. ”
Then he said to All Might: "Let's discuss it tomorrow and try to come up with a plan before the Winter Spirit Festival."
O Might's brows suddenly frowned, and then said: "We should work on some The technology is kept secret. If the technology is leaked, there will be a lot of trouble.”
Frederick was just about to say this, but he felt relieved when he saw that they also considered this.
He said to Ogilvy: "Now let's mass-produce today's magic muscle machines, as well as the matching winches and plowshares. It's best to catch up with next year's spring plowing. Making money is important. "
Ogilvy replied: "That's no problem. We can improve the cooling system while producing it. We can produce one or two prototypes before the Winter Spirit Festival."
Frederick immediately said: "Well, if we can produce a set before the Winter Spirit Festival, I will give it to people for advertising."
Omet immediately agreed.
Diesel said to him quietly from the side: "Don't forget about my matters. The dark steel cans and bright tin are the most important. The pipes can be done later."
Ogilvy & Mather Te replied: "I know, I know, I will arrange for someone to prepare it for you tomorrow."
Frederick thought for a while, asked Carbo to leave the study and close the door, and then said: "This matter is also It’s quite important. It involves the territory’s new weapons. I won’t talk about it until after the New Year.”
"That's it." All Might frowned, "Principal, do you really want to use that thing as a weapon?"
When they first met, Frederick proposed it at dinner. The idea of a magic air gun, but no one cared about it at the time, because no one could tell how powerful this thing was, and thought it would be better than a slingshot.
Diesel threw a magic cover to isolate the propagation of sound and whispered: "We did an experiment a few days ago, using bearing steel balls as projectiles and a steel pipe as a conduit. The target was a Pig 50 meters away.
“If the power of the jet tank is increased, as long as it can hit, it will not be a problem to replace the crossbow. "
"Compared with crossbows, it does not have the disadvantage of rain and moisture causing damage to the strings, and it only consumes very little physical strength. ”
All Might's research on golem puppets is to be used in battles. Even though they have recently made many civilian products such as bearings, in terms of military knowledge, no one at Weisenberg University can match it. When he heard it, he immediately discovered the problem: "As long as it can hit? Does it mean it is difficult to hit?"
Diesel said a little discouraged: "Yes, the flight path of the projectile after leaving the duct is random and erratic."
< br>Frederick held his chin and thought for a while, and decided to take this opportunity to tell the whole story about the equipment and let them study it.
According to his positioning, Ogilvy is more responsible for manufacturing and processing, while Diesel is responsible for the theoretical design of products.
They were all here today, and they simply poured out the equipment they had imagined.
After Diesel sighed and finished talking about the accuracy problems discovered in his experiments, Frederick asked Omet for blank parchment, charcoal pens, and a ruler.
While thinking hard about his memories, he started writing and drawing on the parchment.
