Rise of an Empire

Although it is said that mobile phone stores are still very popular and sell well every day, the situation of hard-to-find mobile phones four months ago is no longer there. Basically, as long as you pay for it, you can definitely buy it.

There is no way. Many people originally bought it crazily with the idea of ​​taking it to other places to make a fortune, but now that they have discovered that this thing can only be used in such a small area as Washington, New York, then naturally there is no more sales. interest.

What can I do if my mobile phone has no signal?

Use it as a brick for self-defense?

Therefore, if Conrad wants to make the mobile phone business bigger and stronger and expand base stations, it is imperative.

As for using satellite signals directly

Explorer 1 just launched five years ago. NASA spent nearly 4 billion U.S. dollars on that project, and it only produced a gadget that can be used for five minutes a day.

If we bring in Howard and Anton Vanco, and then push the beasts under them, we might be able to build a real strategic satellite decades in advance, but what about the investment?

Conrad feels that it is more reliable to cooperate with the US government.

Besides, that old boy Howard is famous for his evil heart. Don't try to do research by yourself at that time, and that boy will completely cheat him.

"Building base stations is a private matter for your company. It is impossible for me to make such a request to Congress for the so-called national information synchronization, and Congress is unlikely to agree." Linden said sincerely to Conrad.

If the guy across from him wasn't his default son-in-law, he wouldn't be talking nonsense to him so pleasantly. He really doesn't think the President of the United States is the president.

"Uncle Lyndon, you can take a look at the proposal I attached to the document before making this decision." Conrad said without any falsehood, still smiling.

"No matter what the proposal is, there is no way in Congress that you are crazy."

Linden put the proposal in his hand down on the table and looked at Conrad in front of him in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.

"Do you know what you are doing?" Linden looked at the door and window. There was no outsider, and then he lowered his voice and said.

"Of course I know that if the U.S. government allocates 10 billion U.S. dollars in the name of the country to build signal base stations all over the United States, then I can use all the property in my name as a guarantee and promise to repay the treasury 25 billion U.S. dollars within 20 years. If the total amount of the loan is not repaid, not only will all my property be turned over to the state treasury, but all the technology I possess will also be turned over to the state."

Conrad spoke softly.

According to calculations, if the base stations in the United States were to be built alone, then eight to nine billion would be enough. However, considering various wear and tear or unexpected situations, Conrad felt that it would be better to have one billion more.

Although he has gained a net worth of more than one billion in the past three years, it is impossible to cash out all that money. Besides, he has also spent a huge amount of money to develop mobile phones and build the Brooklyn Industrial Park. Now he has only the working capital at hand. , only tens of millions at most.

If these tens of millions are used to build base stations, they probably won’t even make a splash. You know, Bell is now eyeing the collapse of its mobile phone business.

In the past four months, Bell Company has used all kinds of tactics, including lawsuits, favours, intimidation and threats to win over traitors. It is like a commercial version of the Thirty-Six Strategies.

If he can't take advantage of this moment to expand his mobile phone business, then in the end, he will definitely be able to make wedding dresses for others.

After all, the current prototype of Big Brother must have been studied in Bell's laboratory for a long time. Even if he asked his people to prepare an anti-piracy system at that time, Bell Company, as the world's number one leader in the communications industry, at most In two years, you can definitely develop your own mobile phone.

At that time, what can Conrad do to compete with others?

They have a big business and own all the signal relay stations in the United States. With a little improvement, they can be turned into radio base stations.

If you buy your own mobile phone, it can only be used as a local area network in New York. But if you buy the other party's mobile phone, you can achieve nationwide networking. Anyone who is not a fool knows how to choose.

At that time, Conrad could only hold his eldest brother and cry.

Why can’t those scientific research experts make money? This is the power of capital.

After all, he is now considered a member of the top class, but facing a behemoth like Bell Company, he can only defend passively. If that powerless person develops a mobile phone by himself, he will not be able to do anything except be swallowed up by the big company with his skin and bones. any other way.

So he had no choice but to come to Linden shamelessly.

After all, the other party is also the president of the United States, so he still has some privileges.

No one would be able to borrow a loan worth ten billion U.S. dollars. Even if he went to William Martin, he would still be able to borrow only a few hundred million dollars.

Therefore, the Duke thought about it at home and decided to seek a government loan.

You must know that the current U.S. government has not yet completely fallen into the quagmire of the Vietnam War. The government still has a certain financial surplus every year. It is not impossible for the U.S. government to spend 10 billion US dollars.

"The ownership of all base stations built belongs to the U.S. government. You only have the right to use it for thirty years. For this, you have to spend 25 billion in cash. Are you sure that the mobile phone business can make so much money?" Linden rubbed his forehead, carefully read the plan from beginning to end, and then asked in confusion.

"Uncle Lyndon, you should trust me when it comes to making money." Conrad nodded proudly.

Regardless of the fact that selling mobile phones does not seem to make much money, everyone in future generations will know that the most profitable thing about mobile phones is the phone bill.

Two hundred and fifty may seem like a lot, but if the mobile phone service can be extended to the entire United States, it will only be three or four years of phone bills.

"Okay, I'll go to Congress tomorrow to study this matter." Lyndon leaned on his seat helplessly and looked at Conrad in front of him with a headache.

"But Bell Company will definitely find someone to hinder this, so you have to be mentally prepared."

The Fruit Company is now at odds with the Bell Company. As a leader in the communications industry, Bell Company also has many agents in Congress.

"My father-in-law, please worry about this." The one Conrad smiled at was called "Sunny"

He still has a few seats in his hands, and with the help of friends such as Norman and Pierce, he can compete evenly with Bell Company in Congress. As president, Lyndon can now show his role. .

"You." Looking at the innocent and harmless Conrad smiling in front of him, Linden could only spread his hands in depression.

Is it right or wrong to find this guy as my son-in-law?
