The Rise Of Australasia

Chapter 383: Chapter 328: The Divine Attack

In an old house in the village, Arthur successfully met Tesla and his sister Miyaka's family.

The few were very surprised by Arthur's arrival, and because there was no preparation, they seemed a bit scared and uneasy.

Even Tesla, who had seen the big world, couldn't help being a little surprised, but he wasn't very nervous.

Accompanying Tesla's family was the village chief, an elderly Englishman with white-bearded whiskers.

After greeting Arthur and knowing the purpose of his visit, the others left with great interest, leaving Arthur enough space to win over Tesla.

When everyone else had walked away, Arthur turned his gaze to the famous Tesla and said with a smile, "Mr. Tesla, I have long admired your name."

"Your Majesty's reputation is also very good in the United States, and I have had the honor of seeing the Dream of Australasia." Having seen the upper echelons of American society, Tesla was somewhat surprised by Arthur's arrival, but not at all flustered.

"Your Majesty!"

In the gap between their conversation, Miyaka's family finally came forward cautiously and greeted Arthur respectfully.

After all, Miyaka's family was just the lower-class common people of Serbia, and the highest officials they had seen on a daily basis were only the town mayor and councilors.

Let alone Arthur, who has already been recognized as the king of a powerful nation, even the king of Serbia, the Miyaka family had no right to see him in person.

Now that Miyaka's family suddenly saw Asher, there was no way they could not be nervous.

"You must be Mr. Tesla's sister? Welcome to Australasia, I hope you can treat this place as your hometown, and jointly operate and maintain this peaceful and prosperous land." Arthur nodded indifferently and said with a slight smile.

Miyaka's family is the breakthrough for Arthur to win over Tesla.

For Tesla, in his twilight years, the people he missed the most were his own family.

At present, Tesla's parents had long passed away, and the closest relatives to Tesla were his three sisters.

Seeing Arthur's gentle manner of speaking, Miyaka's family couldn't help but relax.

Tesla's brother-in-law, Miyaka's husband Zelos Whitfield, seemed to understand something when he saw Arthur's friendly attitude and his brother-in-law's calm demeanor.

"Mr. Tesla, to be honest, Australasia urgently needs an expert in electricity to plan the electrical engineering of Australasia. If Mr. Tesla is interested, you are welcome to work part-time for the Australasian Government. I can provide generous remuneration for Mr. Tesla, and find suitable jobs in the Royal Financial Group's factories for Ms.

Miyaka's family." Arthur said straightforwardly.

As a ruler of a nation, Arthur naturally didn't need to beat around the bush.

It's no exaggeration to say that, considering Arthur's status, Arthur could satisfy all Tesla's wants, as long as they could be found in Australasia.

This was the enormous power granted by Arthur's status, and also the strongest guarantee for Arthur to win over Tesla.

As expected, upon hearing Arthur's offer, a flicker of light passed through the eyes of Miyaka's husband, Zelos Whitfield, before being well concealed.

Although Arthur's conditions include employment for their family, it was clear that the choice was Tesla's, and they had no right to interfere.

If they speak out of turn, they might even provoke Arthur's disgust and let their once obtainable job slip away.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but I still have a company and a job in the United States, and I don't have much time to work part-time in Australasia." Tesla said half-truthfully.

It is indeed the case that Tesla has a company and work in the United States, and his spare time is not that abundant.

However, if there was a squeeze, there would be enough time for a part-time job in Australasia. But the question is, why would Tesla want to work part-time in Australasia?

Although Arthur's offer was very good, without a very compelling reason, there was no need for Tesla to agree.

"I know that too, Mr. Tesla. But the situation may not be as you said! According to my intelligence, your company's financial situation in the United States is very bad, and you have lost the support of the Morgan family.

If nothing goes wrong, I'm afraid your debt has already reached tens of thousands of US dollars, and has completely dragged down your scientific research progress." Arthur said with a meaningful smile.

Without enough investigation beforehand, Arthur would certainly not act recklessly.

In fact, the Royal Security Intelligence Agency's investigation into Tesla not only focused on Tesla's company's financial situation but also examined and understood Tesla's collaboration with all corporate financial groups.

"Forgive my frankness, Mr. Tesla. A talent like you, if hindered by financial constraints, slowing down the progress of various research projects, would be a loss to the world. It is well known that the Royal Australasian Physical and Chemical Research Association has an annual research budget of millions of Australian dollars, and they can only increase, not decrease.

This demonstrates how much Australasia values talent, and I really can't bear to see a renowned talent like you suffer setbacks in scientific research progress because of debt," Arthur directly exposed Tesla's situation and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, although that is true, if I can regain the patent for wireless communication, I have the confidence to rely on my research and patents to bring my financial situation back to normal." Although Tesla's financial situation had been exposed by Arthur, he still stubbornly retorted.

Compared to Edison, Tesla's talent is naturally stronger.

However, the problem is that Edison is not only an inventor but also a competent and even excellent capitalist.

But Tesla, an outstanding inventor and physicist, has a terrible ability when it comes to capital operations. Coupled with the loss of patent revenues, Tesla's assets are basically negative without the support of financial groups.

And Tesla's various research projects require tens of thousands of dollars in funding. Although having negative assets cannot stop Tesla from continuing his research, it is evident that Tesla's research progress has already been significantly impacted, and should the funding problem not be solved, the research progress may stagnate.

"Mr. Tesla." Arthur did not mind Tesla's rebuttal and looked at Tesla seriously, taking a sincere tone: "In my opinion, how can a great physicist be limited by funding problems? If Mr. Tesla is willing to trust me, I will provide you with an advanced private laboratory and at least 200,000 Australian dollars in research funding per year.

I don't care how the funds are spent, as long as they are used for scientific research, they are allowed in my book."

According to the current exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar, 200,000 Australian dollars is equivalent to 500,000 US dollars. This amount of funding would be an astronomical asset for Tesla, who is currently struggling financially.

More importantly, if Tesla agrees to work for Arthur, this 200,000 Australian dollars will not only arrive on time but will be provided every year.

Honestly, for a scientific researcher, a private, professional research lab and ample research funding are incredibly attractive.

If you narrow the scope of scientific researchers to those like Tesla, whose research progress has been hindered by long-standing debt issues, then the attraction only grows exponentially.

Just as a woman can't refuse cosmetics, Tesla carefully swallowed, admitting that he was tempted by the conditions Arthur proposed. experience-MVLeMpYr

"If Mr. Tesla is willing to join Australasia, the Royal Financial Group is willing to solve all your troubles in the property field. Including your companies and work in the United States, all your concerns will be taken over by the Royal Financial Group. If you agree now, I can bring both your sisters to Australasia for a family reunion.

Of course, we will arrange all your jobs and land within a short period. If you are willing to join Australasian nationality, that would be even better. Australasia welcomes talents like Mr.

Tesla and your family members to join the embrace of Australasia." Seeing that Tesla no longer stubbornly argued and was even considering the matter, Arthur struck while the iron was hot and continued putting forward his conditions.

Bringing Tesla's two remaining sisters from Serbia to Australasia would be a simple task for Arthur.

Even if Arthur is willing, with the use of an airship, they could safely transport the whole family to Australasia within a month.

As for the employment of Tesla's extended family, this is not a problem for Arthur.

The expansion of the businesses under the Royal Financial Group is rapid, and job vacancies appear frequently.

As long as Tesla's family members undergo simple training, they can enter these jobs.

For Arthur, the cost of engaging talent compared to the value of the talent itself is nothing.

Especially for a top talent like Tesla, who is capable of changing a certain field of the world, what could paying a bigger price for engagement cost?

Furthermore, the conditions for engaging Tesla, for Arthur, are not significant.

"Nikola, my brother, I don't know what you are hesitating about, but His Majesty thinks highly of you, and I don't want your talent wasted in a place like the United States. Be firm, Nikola. Do it for me, for Angelina and Mareika.

They are not doing well in Serbia; wouldn't it be nice for us to reunite in Australasia?" As Arthur smiled and waited, and Tesla was deep in thought, Tesla's sister, Miyaka, could not help but speak up.

As Tesla's elder sister, Miyaka is now in her 40s, and her son is already over twenty.

However, to date, Miyaka's son has not married; he did not have a decent job in Serbia and naturally could not attract any girls.

Now that they have arrived in Australasia and have such a great opportunity, Miyaka does not want to miss out.

Moreover, in Miyaka's view, the conditions proposed by Arthur are not harmful to Tesla: getting a higher-paying job, having his own laboratory and more research funding, reuniting with his family members, and having more respectable jobs in a more prosperous country. Isn't this a wonderful thing no matter how you think about it?

Arthur secretly nodded his head, quite satisfied with Miyaka's divine intervention at this critical moment.

However, this is human nature.

After all, at Miyaka's age, she is already a wife and mother. As an ordinary person, who wouldn't want their family and children to have a better life?

Although Arthur also took advantage of Miyaka's ordinary person's psychology, in fact, he did give Miyaka's family more benefits.
