Reborn Brazil as a Plutocrat

Of course Konrad Zuse didn’t know that at this moment, he had been targeted by the young man in front of him, and he was thinking about how to kidnap himself back to Brazil!

"Oh! Why do you want to turn to research on computer software theory instead of continuing to study the next generation of computers?"

Fang Lang knew the advice.

Hearing Fang Lang's words, Konrad Zuse was obviously embarrassed and said sheepishly:

"The first and second generations of computers were successfully developed with my own money, and the third and fourth generations were successfully developed with funding from the German Aircraft Experimental Institute, but now...<

/p>

Therefore, I can only conduct some research on software theory in my small courtyard."

At this moment, Fang Lang still didn't understand the situation of Konrad Zuse, and he quickly said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu Ze, I made a mistake.

I don’t know what kind of help you want to get from the University of Zurich?

As far as I know, there are currently no scientists conducting computer-related research in Zurich. The cutting-edge of these technologies are all in the United Kingdom and the United States.

Why don’t you consider moving to the UK and the US to continue your research?”

"Mr. Fang, thank you for your reminder! After my two days of visits to professors at the University of Zurich, I found that everyone has done some research in this area.

However, their research progress is not as fast as mine, so I haven't received much help.

Maybe you are right, I should go to Britain and the United States to get in touch with some more advanced ideas.

However, I am German and my computer was used in the military field during the war, and I am worried that I will be tried for this."

What Konrad Zuse said is not unfounded. There were indeed many such examples during this period. Many scientists taken away by the United States and the Soviet Union were also taken away in the name of arrest.

Therefore, Konrad Zuse's concerns are very reasonable.

When Konrad Zuse said these words, Fang Lang knew that his opportunity had come.

"Well! What you said makes sense! I also heard that many scientists were captured by Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union.

However, hiding in Switzerland is not a long-term solution.

Let me think about it!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Lang pretended to think for a while and then said:

"Let's do this! Mr. Chu Ze, I still have some strength in Brazil. I can invest in you to set up a computer research laboratory in Brazil.

Since it is inconvenient for you to go to other countries, I can spend a lot of money to invite some outstanding scientists from other countries to join your research team and set up a computer research laboratory headed by you.

At the same time, I will use my connections in the United States to obtain some cutting-edge research information on computers to provide you with reference. What do you think?"

Konrad Zuse obviously did not expect that the young man in front of him, whom he met for the first time, would directly propose to fund him to establish a brand new laboratory.

In his mind, of course he is unwilling to give up his own research. At the same time, he also wants to understand the research progress of other countries in the world.

But the young man opposite me had only met for the first time today, so we didn’t know each other well.

Moreover, the other party's proposal was so sudden that he had no preparation, which made him not know how to reply to the other party.

Fang Lang was a little hesitant when he saw the other party and couldn't make up his mind. He also knew that his suggestion was a bit abrupt.

Thinking that the other party was worried about being arrested by the Allies, he smiled and said:

"Mr. Chu Ze, please rest assured! Since I have invited you, I am sure to ensure your safety.

Let me tell you the truth! I am actually not a pure businessman. I also have another identity as a Brazilian naval officer.

The reason why I appeared in Europe was to use my status as an Allied officer to find some technical support for my family business in Brazil.

Some time ago, I have been looking for outstanding talents in various industries in Germany.

You just said that your computer is used in Germany to conduct data analysis on the jitter stability of aircraft wings. I wonder if you know Mr. Kurt Tank and the Horton brothers."

Konrad Zuse's eyes widened when he heard Fang Lang's words, and he asked with disbelief:

"You're not going to tell me that they are working for you now, are you?"

Seeing the other party's expression, Fang Lang knew that he must know the other party's identity. Since he knew, it would be easy to tell.

But at the same time, Fang Lang couldn't help but wonder why Polman, a talent in the aircraft research and experiment industry, didn't help Fang Lang discover Konrad Zuse in advance. It seemed that Polman wasn't sensitive enough to new technologies!

Fang Lang smiled slightly at Konrad Zuse's surprise.

"It seems that you know them. Don't be surprised. They have indeed been recruited by me and are now building a brand new aircraft research laboratory in Brazil.

If you want to meet them, I can take you directly to meet them."

Conrad Zuse had to believe Fang Lang's attitude, because this kind of thing could not be concealed at all. If he was deceived, Fang Lang would not be able to explain it to him.

However, Konrad Zuse was recruited by a stranger he met on the street today, which gave him an unreal feeling, and he was definitely unable to make a choice for a while.

Therefore, after much hesitation, he still said tactfully:

"Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Fang! But this is too sudden, and I am not ready to change to a new working environment immediately.

So, can you let me think about it for two days?"

Seeing Konrad Zuse, he seemed unable to make up his mind for a while, and Fang Lang also knew that he couldn't push too hard.

However, I don’t want the other person to escape from my grasp.

He rolled his eyes, smiled and said:

"Of course, no problem, this is your freedom.

But you can listen to what kind of help I can provide for this laboratory, and then go back and seriously consider it.

First, I will build a professional laboratory in a beautiful place and purchase all the cutting-edge technology products you need from all over the world.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

At the same time, we recruit scholars from around the world who are engaged in related product research to assist you in your experiments.

We will also search for the latest relevant technical information and academic papers around the world for your reference and study.

I even plan to build a research-oriented college around your research laboratory. If it develops smoothly, I hope to build it into a research-oriented university like Zurich.

The most important thing is that the funding for this research laboratory will be entirely borne by me. I can provide this laboratory with a monthly research funding of US$50,000 in the early stage.

If I can produce practical results, I will provide bonuses and additional research funds to the research institute based on the actual situation.

You and your family will be able to live a life without worries about food and clothing in Brazil."

After Fang Lang said this series of conditions, Konrad Zuse was in a state of being stunned by the pie falling from the sky. If he was not tempted by such a good condition, he would definitely not be tempted.

Possible.

But at the same time, he also felt strange why the young rich man in front of him, whom he met for the first time, was willing to spend so much money and invest so much money to fund his research.

Not to mention the realization of experimental results, Konrad Zuse also knew that the other party definitely wanted to profit from his research results, but he didn't understand whether such a large investment was worth it?

It gave him a very unreal feeling. The young man opposite didn't look like a stupid person with a lot of money, right?

In the end, he couldn't hold it back and asked with doubts on his face:

"Why?"

Perhaps there is no second person in this world who knows what computers mean better than Fang Lang.

Fang Lang believed that Konrad Zuse, the man in front of him, did not know what kind of changes computers could bring to the world.

It can be seen from his question that he does not have a very clear understanding of the future of computers.

At this time, Fang Lang must act as a prophet or life mentor to guide these scientists who are still groping in the fog of science to avoid detours and reach the other side.

"Because I think computers are the future. It will trigger the third industrial revolution after the electrical age, and it will change people's lifestyles in the future."

Konrad Zuse obviously doesn’t quite understand Fang Lang’s evaluation of computers.

At first, his original intention of inventing the computer was to deal with heavy calculation work, and he just regarded it as a calculation tool. His first computer was a mechanical calculator using some thin steel plates connected with screws.

Sometimes, if science and technology do not develop to a certain level, even the person who invented it cannot imagine how far it can achieve.

Although he didn't understand it, he could also see that Fang Lang really valued his computer skills.

This made the balance in his mind unconsciously tilt towards following Fang Lang to Brazil.

"Although, I still can't see whether computers can really become the future as you say.

However, I have to say that you really moved me.

Please give me some time. I need to go home and discuss it with my family before I can finally make a decision."

When he heard Konrad Zuse express his intention to go home to discuss with his family, Fang Lang knew that his opportunity had come, and he quickly took the initiative and said:

"Mr. Chu Ze, I wonder if I would be honored to visit your home."

Conrad Zuse couldn't refuse Fang Lang's request for a visit. After all, it would be impolite.

I can only say a little bit coyly:

"My home is not in Zurich. It is in the small town of Hinterstein, which is nearly a two-hour drive from here."

Without Fang Lang opening his mouth, the assistant who has been acting as a translator has already taken the initiative to express that they have chartered a hotel vehicle in Switzerland and can take Konrad Zuse home now.

For the Konrad Zuse family who fled from Germany, they were extremely lucky to be able to rent a dilapidated house in Switzerland.

The family did not have fixed jobs in Switzerland. When Konrad Zuse brought a fleet of five cars to this small town in central Switzerland and said he would take them to Brazil to start a new life.

.

Everyone is very excited. After all, Konrad Zuse is now the mainstay of the family. Now he can only engage in some theoretical research at home, because without a formal job, there is no financial income at all.

p>

If they continue to sit back and have nothing, their family will soon run out of food. Therefore, they can make a choice without thinking about whether they are willing to follow Fang Lang to work and live in Brazil.

Fang Lang, who originally came to Switzerland only for the treasures in the hands of the Gestapo, is already satisfied with the harvest in Switzerland. This is a typical double happiness!
