The next day, Tangning guessed that Levine’s anger was about to calm down, and planned to persuade him to stop arguing with Hager, but before she could go out, she heard Rob, the housekeeper, say that Mark Qin was coming.

So I came to the living room, first hugged Mark Qin, and then asked, “Why didn’t you send me a telegram before you came, so I can send someone to pick you up!”

Mark Qin scratched his head and replied a little embarrassedly: “Because I also decided to come to New Orleans on a temporary basis!”

“Oh, what are you busy with recently?” Tangning asked again.

“I’m improving the stapler!” Maxim replied casually.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for Mark Qin’s words, Tangning wouldn’t have reacted for a while, and now she doesn’t have a stapler yet.

In fact, it is not without it now, even as early as the time of King Louis XV of France, there was already a stapler, but the stapler at that time was different from what we thought!

It was not until 1868 that the British Charles Gould invented the wire stapler, which is to cut the wire into a certain length, use the pointed part of the wire to force through the paper and then fold it down, which is also the prototype of the modern stapler. .

Then the following year, Thomas Briggs of Boston, Massachusetts, invented a machine that could do the job. He founded the “Boston Wire Binder Company” which manufactured and sold such machines. His machine breaks the wire and bends it into a U-shape, then uses it to staple through the pages, and then bends it to hold the book in place.

Because Briggs’ stapler has many operating steps, it is quite complicated, so Maxim is recently trying to improve this stapler.

After listening to Mark Qin’s description, Tangning suggested based on her own memory, “Actually, Stevens, you can change your way of thinking, that is, first go through a process, break and bend the iron wire to make a string of “U” shapes. Staples. Then these staples can be loaded into a much simpler machine that can embed these staples into paper.” Tangning also drew the staples and stapler on the paper. (This work was done by Briggs in 1894.)

Looking at Tangning’s blueprint, Mark Qin pondered for a long time, then nodded and praised, “Boss, you are so smart, you have solved the problem that has been bothering me for so long! Besides, you improved this kind of bookbinding. The machine is much better than Briggs’s!”

Tangning complained in her heart, “I’m not as smart as you, I’m just more knowledgeable than you. If you came here from 2022, I guess you can copy a lot of future gadgets. You don’t have to be like me. I can draw it, but I can’t do it!

So he waved his hand and said, “I’m just providing an idea, and you have to develop the specifics!”

Mark Qin nodded in agreement: “Well, after I go back, I will make a sample according to your idea, boss!” Then he added: “If it is really feasible, then the patent will be ours!”

“No, no, I’m just drawing a picture, how can I steal your patent!” Tangning pushed back.

And Mark Qin insisted: “Boss, it’s not as simple as drawing a picture. In fact, if it really does happen, then boss, your contribution is greater than mine, and I took advantage of you!”

Seeing Mark Qin’s insistence, Tangning had no choice but to agree, then changed the subject and asked, “By the way, Stevens, why did you come by yourself this time, Zena?”

“Cousin Zena? Boss, why are you asking me that?” Mark Qin asked in confusion.

“Isn’t Zena following you?” Tangning asked in confusion.

“When did Cousin Zena follow me? Boss, who did you hear this from?” Mak Qin still asked blindly.

Tangning explained, “He told me himself, when he came to see me more than a month ago, he told me that because he met me in Shanghai and heard from me that you were doing well in New York, while he was in New York. China is not doing well, so I wrote you a letter to join you. Why didn’t he go to you?”

“It’s not just that he didn’t come to me, he didn’t write me a letter!” Mark Qin replied angrily.

Hearing what Mark Qin said, Tangning couldn’t help but exclaimed, “What?! Zena never wrote you a letter? Then why did he lie to me?”

“Actually, I want to know too!” Mark Qin replied with a frown.

Then he asked: “By the way, boss, did cousin Zena talk to you at that time?”

Tangning thought about it for a while, then replied, “And then we talked about a woman!”

“Oh? What woman?” Mark Qin asked.

Tangning hesitated for a moment, then replied, “This woman should have nothing to do with him!”

“How can it be okay, boss, when is this, just tell me!” Maxim pleaded.

Tangning pondered for a while, and then answered, “Okay, then I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell others, because it involves my privacy.” Afterwards, Tangning told Mark Qin about the whole thing. .

After hearing this, Mark Qin frowned and analyzed: “Could it be that Cousin Zena came back to the United States for this woman named Bai Min? What do you think, boss?”

Tangning shook her head and said, “There are too few clues to analyze!”

Mark Qin thought for a while, and then gave up: “Okay, then, boss, if you have any news about Cousin Zena, you must let me know as soon as possible, and I will go back to New York to study your improved order after I’m done with the business here. Book machine!” After speaking, she got up and said goodbye~www.mtlnovel.com~ After Mark Qin left, Tangning packed up and went out to the New Orleans Express in a carriage. Seeing that Levin was in a very calm mood at this time. , so he stepped forward to say hello and chatted.

After chatting a few words with himself, Levin said with a smile, “Tony, you’re here to see if I calm down today, right?”

Tangning nodded without shyness and replied, “Yes, that’s what I had in mind before I came here, but now it seems that I don’t need to ask.”

Levin said with emotion: “Actually, I didn’t want to be so angry at the time, but that Hager’s words were so annoying, so I had to teach him a lesson, but fortunately, Tony, you stopped me, otherwise if it was true It would be a hassle to break him!”

“You can think so!” Tangning said with a sigh of relief.

ps: When I was visiting Longkong today, I saw someone complaining about Lao Zhuo’s “Binjiang Police”. Although this book is not to my taste, I really have to be considerate of him, because this book is for film and television. It was adapted from the play, so it must be written in a more upright and upright manner, which is also impossible!
