Chapter 50： Rudolf Diesel

After arranging the development of a practical aircraft by Orel Flaycu, Edel continued to check the documents in front of him. This is a piece of news about the inventor of the diesel engine, Rudolf Diesel.

Before the establishment of the power laboratory, Edel also sent an invitation, hoping that this genius can come to Romania to work. But Rudolf Diesel did not lack funds at the time, and he did not agree to Edel's invitation. Now this genius inventor has lost a lot of money by investing in stocks and is about to get into trouble. Maybe it is a good opportunity.

This time Edel called the captain of the guard Carust. "Carust, you send two people to Augsburg and invite Rudolf Diesel to Romania again."

"His Royal Highness. What about the treatment of this inventor?" The chief guard asked. Last time the crown prince paid an annual salary of 100,000 marks for this inventor. His improved diesel engine can obtain 2% of the patent. The usage fee also failed to impress the inventor. Now that the crown prince invited again, Carust looked a little bit overwhelmed.

The crown prince understands the thoughts of the chief guard, but they are all trivial things. It is normal to have a few geniuses, and Edel can tolerate their small tempers, as long as it is good for Romania.

"You ask the person who invited you to bring this Carust letter. I believe Rudolf Diesel will agree this time." Edel picked up a letter on the desk, handed it to the head of the guard, and preached.

The chief guard took the letter and walked out of the room to arrange for someone to invite the inventor again.

After watching the chief guard leave the office, Edel picked up another document in his hand and shook his head helplessly. This is the news that Academician Moronier of the Power Laboratory was hit by flying parts and was injured during an oil extraction machine improvement experiment. The only Romanian dynamics researcher who could take a shot was injured, so Edel could only find the inventor of the diesel engine. I hope that this time he can change his destiny and increase Romania's scientific and technological strength.

Rudolf Diesel came to the factory in the suburbs of Augsburg early in the morning. The recent turbulent financial crisis made the inventor miserable. Due to the previous large purchases of stocks, which resulted in a sharp depreciation during the financial crisis, coupled with the unfavorable promotion of diesel engines in automobiles, the huge losses now make Rudolf Diesel live every day.

Not long after Rudolf Diesel went to work today, the secretary came in and said. "The boss has two gentlemen looking for you. They said that they are from Romania." After hearing the secretary's words, Rudolf Diesel thought for a while and knew their purpose.

Romania invited him once two years ago and he was treated well. But Rudolf Diesel had his own business at the time, and it was developing well. Not interested in working for someone else, he refused. I don't know what they want this time, but you can take a look.

"Invite them in and pour me three cups of coffee." Rudolf Diesel said to his secretary. The secretary let in two visitors from Romania, brought out three cups of coffee, and closed the door.

Rudolf Diesel asked first after the secretary closed the door. "Don't know what the two of you are looking for me?"

Facing Rudolf Diesel’s question, the visitor sitting in the chair on the left answered first. "Hello Mr. Rudolph Diesel, my name is Mark Sikuslow." He pointed to his companion and continued. "This is my companion Snowf Rosliwa."

"We came here today to hear about Mr. Rudolf Diesel, who recently encountered a little trouble. Our crown prince thinks that a great inventor like Mr. Rudolf Diesel should not be disturbed by these mundane things. It’s a good idea to focus on more important things, such as making diesel engine improvements even better."

Rudolf Diesel listened to this Romanian named Mark Sikuslow, persuading himself to accept Romania’s invitation. In his heart, he was actually a bit resistant. No one wanted to help others, and Rudolf Diesel was no exception. Had it not been for economic pressure now, Rudolf Diesel would have rejected them just like last time.

"Then what treatment do you crown prince give me?" Rudolf Diesel asked after Mark Sikuslow finished speaking. He also wanted to hear about Prince Edel's conditions, and if the conditions are generous, it is not unacceptable.

After hearing Rudolf Diesel’s heart loosening, the two visitors looked at each other and were secretly happy. It was Mark Sikuslow talking about it. "We don't know about this, but our Highness gave you a special letter. I believe it should have a description." After speaking, he took out the letter from his underwear pocket and handed it to Rudolf Diesel.

Rudolf Diesel took the letter and opened it It said the crown prince's greetings to him, and it also mentioned the treatment. An annual salary of 200,000 marks. Add 2% of royalties. In other words, for the diesel engine designed by Rudolf Diesel, he can get a 2% patent fee of the selling price. At the same time, he was invited to serve as Director Zhu of the Romanian Power Laboratory, and he would receive no less than 3 million marks each year for research.

After reading this letter, Rudolf Diesel was shocked by Crown Prince Edel's generous handwork. We must know that under this condition, Rudolf Diesel's financial situation will be improved without fear of bankruptcy. My own factory does not have that much profit a year. Rudolf Diesel is really moved now, but he still needs to be reserved.

"Let me think about it," Rudolf Diesel told two visitors, folding up the letter and putting it in his jacket pocket. When they saw Rudolf Diesel's actions, they knew that this man was already in his heart, and they stood up and left without urging them.

"Then we will wait for your reply. We will stay at the Billic Hotel. If you have anything to come to us, we will leave first." Mark Sikuslow said goodbye to Rudolf Diesel and the two left.

Rudolf Diesel returned home and told his wife what happened today. The wife said very heartily. "Diesel, this is much better than your current factory, and you don't have to worry about whether there is a bank to remind you."

After receiving the support of his family, Rudolf Diesel finally decided to sell the factory to others, so he should do his own research.

On the third day, Rudolf Diesel agreed to Edel’s invitation and promised to go to Romania in a month. Edel was very happy to receive the news, Romania finally has a real power expert.
