Chapter 77 Genius Idiot Unlucky Guy

There is such a genius, his discovery had to wait for decades before people began to gradually understand it, and the related inventions had to wait nearly a hundred years before they could be presented to people. And his contribution still affects our lives today.

The theoretical basis of color ultrasound, radar, and even the Big Bang is based on his discovery, but unfortunately, he was not taken seriously when he was alive, and even lived a poor life.

He was born into a famous stonemason family in Salzburg, Austria. As the eldest son, he would take over the stonemason business according to family tradition.

However, he did not have his father's good physique, and he was destined not to engage in the traditional family business.

Although he could not inherit the family business, his family was very rich. His father hired the best tutor for him, hoping that he could become an artist, but he was more interested in mathematics.

In 1822, he was successfully admitted to the Vienna Institute of Technology, and in 1825 he was admitted to the University of Vienna.

When his assistant teaching career was about to end in 1833, the University of Vienna did not consider renewing his contract with him.

He had to consider his future. In March 1833, he applied for a teaching position at the Royal University of Prague. He was confident about this, after all, he had obtained multiple degrees and had many years of assistant teaching experience in the imperial capital of Vienna.

But his job application letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no news. Anxious and disappointed, he had to continue his job search.

It happened that there was news that the Austrian Imperial Naval Academy in Venice was recruiting teachers.

He felt that a group of naval roughs would definitely have no reason to reject an excellent scholar like himself.

He ran to the interview excitedly, but was kicked out because of his weak body.

He did not find a job until he left Vienna in 1834.

He had to return to his hometown and became an accountant in a textile factory.

Keeping accounts in a dark factory was obviously not the life he wanted.

His younger brother inherited the family business. When he learned about his brother's current situation, he offered to pay for his brother to develop in the United States.

Although his family was just a stonemason family, he was definitely a rich man who could live next door to Mozart.

Soon, he received a large sum of money, which was enough for him to leave the Austrian Empire and go to the United States across the ocean.

At the same time, he also received two invitations, one from Bern and one from Prague, both inviting him to be a middle school teacher.

He chose Prague, which was closer, and for this reason he even learned Czech. However, on the first day in Prague, he found that everyone here spoke German.

He married the daughter of a local goldsmith, but they were not happy after marriage. The goldsmith's daughter soon spent all his money, so she often left him and his daughter at home and went back to her parents' home alone.

In a fit of anger, he took his daughter to Vienna to look for a job.

Of course, his luck was still as bad as before. He went to several universities in Vienna, but was always rejected.

When he had only two Kreutz left in his pocket, he was driven out by the innkeeper, and unfortunately his daughter had a high fever again.

He could only shamelessly go to the Vienna Royal Academy to try his luck, but the other party did not intend to see this civilian without a title.

The fat gatekeeper with a mouth full of decayed teeth pushed him out of the door.

He was still holding his daughter, and accidentally fell to the ground, but he still begged.

"Please, have mercy, for God's sake, let me see Count Efate, my daughter is sick, I need a job."

The gatekeeper spit on the ground.

"Bah! There are tens of thousands of college students in Vienna, who doesn't want to work in the Royal Academy, you are a country bumpkin who doesn't even have a noble status, how can you be worthy!?"

He hugged the gatekeeper's thigh and begged bitterly.

"Sir, please be kind, I am still a stonemason, I can help you."

The gatekeeper hesitated and asked.

"What can you do?"

He answered without thinking.

"I can carve tombstones."

The gatekeeper was furious when he heard it, and kicked him.

There were many well-dressed gentlemen around, they didn't even stop to look at the beaten man, just talked and left, as if nothing had happened.

In order to protect his daughter in his arms, he was hit on the head and fell down the steps, but fortunately he was supported in time.

"What's going on? If I'm not mistaken, you're beating a gentleman with his daughter. When did the Vienna Imperial Academy become an unregulated place?" A little kid said unhappily.

"Where did you come from, kid? Go away. You're not the illegitimate son of this poor guy, are you?" The gatekeeper said mockingly.

As soon as the gatekeeper finished speaking, several figures came to his side. Two tall guards of the Imperial Guards held him down firmly, and a man who looked like an officer began to slap the gatekeeper without saying anything.

The officer was tall and strong, and his arm strength was amazing. He knocked out two teeth of the gatekeeper with just one slap, and slapped the gatekeeper's face like a pig's head in a few slaps.

Seeing that the one who beat him was the Imperial Guards, the gatekeeper immediately begged for mercy from the Imperial Guards officer.

"Please, let me go, sir. I didn't mean to offend you. My words are dirty, and my blood is even dirtier. Don't dirty your hands. Ouch." The gatekeeper had lost his teeth, so his speech was a little lisp, but the general idea could still be heard.

The imperial guard officer shook his head and tilted his head to look at the young man.

The gatekeeper then realized that the boy was not an illegitimate child, and the person with the imperial guards could only be a member of the royal family, and he immediately wanted to die.

Insulting the royal family, this is the Austrian Empire, not France.

In France, Philip Pont could insult the royal family at will, and he could get away with it by just paying a fine.

Philip Pont, a French painter, became famous for insulting Louis Philippe, and called on painters all over France to insult Louis Philippe together.

But in Austria, this crime can be big or small. If it can be brought to the emperor, it will most likely be just exile, or expulsion from Vienna.

If it is not brought to the emperor, then it is very likely that the imperial guards will lynch him. As for the gendarmerie or the secret police, it is probably worse than death.

The gatekeeper was about to speak, and the boy said indifferently.

"I ask you, why didn't you let this gentleman in?"

"He is a commoner. The masters in the academy think he is not worthy of working here, so they don't let him in. I am just following orders. Let me go."

The young man coughed impatiently, and the officer understood and slapped the gatekeeper in the face.

"You answer whatever the Grand Duke asks."

The gatekeeper nodded quickly, not daring to say more.

"I ask you again, did you beat this gentleman on your own initiative, or were you instructed by others?"

The gatekeeper hesitated.

"He... I just wanted to drive him away, nothing else. Earl Efate said he didn't want to see him again, so I..."

"Okay, you can shut up."

The young man turned to the imperial guard officer.

"Mr. Parrish, let him swallow all his teeth into his stomach. Tell Earl Efate that I don't want to visit him again today, go to the manor to take a look."

The young man turned and walked away towards the fallen man, without watching Mr. Parrish's execution.

"Sir, if you don't mind, you can visit my manor. There are the best doctors there who can help you."

"Thank you, you are such a good man. My name is Christian Doppler, and I am a scholar." The man who was only wearing a single coat in winter answered.

Doppler? Isn't he one of the three unlucky guys in the history of the Austrian Empire? The other two are Mendel, the father of heredity, and Tesla, the son of God.

The guard just now actually hit the smartest head in Austria in this era, which is simply a waste of natural resources.

However, the guard was soon punished. Two guards opened the guard's mouth. Captain Parrish was very skilled. He raised the butt of his gun and hit him hard. After three hits, he added another kick.

The two guards tied the guard's mouth with a cloth belt, and then straightened his body. Captain Parrish hit his stomach hard with the butt of his gun. After a few rounds, the guard's eyes rolled up and lost consciousness.

The guards acted quickly and resolved the battle before the military police arrived.

Parrish got on his horse and came to the captain of the gendarmerie and whispered a few words. The captain of the gendarmerie naturally understood what he meant.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it! This man disturbs public order and pollutes the public environment. Take him to the gendarmerie."

Several gendarmes put a black hood on the guard without saying anything and threw him directly into the gendarmerie's carriage.

Franz invited Doppler to his six-horse carriage and asked him about the incident and his purpose in coming to Vienna.

The food prepared temporarily was heated on the incubator, and Doppler's little daughter also recovered under Talia's care.

The little girl was not sick, but she was hungry and had no strength. In addition, the child's metabolism was fast, and the blood sugar was reduced, which led to panic, sweating, and fever.

The little girl stared at the soup in the pot, with many crumbs sticking to the corners of her mouth, and half a steak in her hand.

Doppler, who was standing aside, watched his daughter get better, and his nervous heart was relieved. He swallowed his saliva unconsciously when he saw the food.

"Mr. Doppler, if you don't mind, you can eat something too." Franz said with a smile.

"How can I be so embarrassed? I'm not hungry."

Doppler said he was not hungry, but his stomach was growling.

Talia, who was standing by, also laughed. She loved children and sympathized with the father who was taking care of the child. She started looking for food in the box next to her.

There was only a box of foie gras and a bowl of fish soup left. Talia looked at Franz, and Franz nodded.

Talia poured the foie gras on the bread and handed it to Doppler, and then heated the fish soup on the warmer.

Doppler took the bread and ate it without caring about his image.

"Mr. Doppler, I want to hire you as a professor at the Vienna Women's College."

Doppler almost choked to death, and Talia almost vomited the juice she had just drunk.

Vienna, Caesar Hotel.

The ground was full of broken pieces of exquisite porcelain, and several servants were covered in blood. However, they did not even dare to wipe it off, fearing that they would arouse the anger of the tyrant in front of them.

"Fools! Idiots! You dare to call yourselves economists? Let a fool buy at the bottom, I would hire a group of pigs to do better than you! Where is my money! Where is my railway! If the Northern Railway is still in my hands, the Austrians, Prussians, French, and the whole of Central Europe will have to look at my face!"

The veins on Solomon Rothschild's forehead bulged. The biggest loser in Austria this time was the Rothschild Bank.

Solomon Rothschild was the first person in Austria to learn about the London stock market crash. In order to avoid risks in an emergency and to reap the leeks of the Austrian Empire like Nathan Rothschild, he sold all the stocks under his name to his partners.

He threw away these hot potatoes, but his loyal partners were not so lucky.

Solomon Rothschild's partners went bankrupt or had to sell their assets at low prices in order not to drown in the financial tsunami.

In fact, Solomon Rothschild also suffered a lot of losses, conservatively estimated at around 10 million florins, while his partners lost tens of millions of florins.

Solomon Rothschild still remembers that when he first arrived in Vienna, he used the Austrian Empire's public debt to eliminate the Rothschild family's opponents in Vienna at the time, and at the same time made a profit of 20 million florins, which directly led to the birth of the Austrian Empire Chartered Bank.

At that time, Solomon Rothschild almost destroyed Vienna's financial industry, and one-third of Vienna's banks went bankrupt.

The 700-year-old Geyemühle declared bankruptcy, and David Parrish, the patriarch of the Parrish family who had served the Habsburg family for 15 generations, jumped into the Danube because of bankruptcy.

Later, he even issued a 10 million franc bond for Duchess Marie Louise with a public project that did not exist at all, and Solomon earned 6 million francs.

Solomon Rothschild remembered that once he made money in the Austrian Empire as easily as cheating candy from a child, so how could he suddenly lose money?

Compared with the economic loss, Solomon Rothschild's loss of reputation was more serious.

While transferring the risk, Solomon Rothschild successfully killed a large number of banks and financial families with a long history.

If it were not for Franz's 67 million coins to save the situation, the Austrian Empire would have experienced a run on the bank as in history, and the impact of the economic crisis would have continued until 1838.

With Franz's intervention in this plane, the Austrian Empire not only quickly emerged from the shadow of the economic crisis, but also attracted some foreign investment in reverse.

In history, the Austrian Empire did not have close trade relations with Britain and the United States, but it was the country most affected by the economic crisis of 1837 in the entire German Federation. It must be said that the self-righteous Solomon Rothschild made an indelible contribution.

Due to a misjudgment by Solomon Rothschild, a financial crisis that should not have happened was directly triggered.

But in the capital world where the strong are always strong, Solomon Rothschild eventually became the winner. He not only took the opportunity to acquire a large number of excellent assets, but also forced the Habsburg royal family to grant him permission to buy land in the inner city of Vienna.

(At this time, Jews in the Austrian Empire were not allowed to own land in the inner city of Vienna.)

In history, Solomon Rothschild took the opportunity to buy the Caesar Hotel, which he had long coveted.

But in this dimension, he was just one of the many tenants of the Caesar Hotel, and at this time, the other tenants downstairs were very unhappy with his abuse of porcelain.

Along with the sound of the mop hitting the ceiling, a powerful "Sukabulie!" came from downstairs.
