804 Turning the sky upside down
The development of new things requires a process to some extent, and even Bill Gates once said that a home computer only needs 512K memory.
If there is no Li Mu, the development of new things such as telephones, electric lights, and automobiles will probably have some twists and turns, such as the dispute between Edison's direct current and Nikola Tesla's alternating current, and the dispute over the patent rights of telephones and electric lights, which will have an impact on the development of these industries.
What has a greater impact is that no one has a clearer understanding of these new things than Li Mu, which is one of the benefits of the traverser. When P. Morgan was still oscillating between finance and industry, Li Mu could choose the most promising industries to invest in according to his memory, which made the Junma Group have an unparalleled advantage. When P. Morgan was still looking for new profit growth points, Junma Group had completed round after round of layout ahead of schedule and took the lead in the fierce market competition.
Well, in fact, there is no market competition at all.
For example, broadcasting, this is the technology developed by Junma Lab itself, as long as Li Mu does not sell the patent rights related to broadcasting, Junma Group can seize the US market with the most relaxed attitude and complete the market layout, even if someone develops similar technology later, it will not be able to compete with Junma Group at the national level.
Of course, it is the most ideal state to cover the U.S. market as quickly as possible, in actual operation, there will always be all kinds of accidents, the boycott of the city bosses is one of them, in order to avoid these troubles, Li Mu has done a lot of work, and even did not hesitate to introduce foreign capital to set up a new broadcasting company, although this will lead to dilution of profits to a certain extent, but this will increase the ability of broadcasters to resist risks, strengthen the monopoly of the market, in the long run is appropriate.
The market needs a process of acceptance of new technologies, and half an hour is fleeting, and James Garfield is still a little unsatisfied after finishing his speech, and walking out of the broadcast studio still feels unreal.
"That's it? Are you sure that my speech will be listened to by more than 2,500 people at the same time? "James Garfield couldn't understand how the broadcast did this, and the data was skewed.
"It's 2,500 terminals, Mr. Garfield, and at least 100,000 people are listening to your speech at the same time." Thomas Nast can understand James Garfield's doubts, anyone who first learns about radio will feel the same way as James Garfield, and that's okay, the facts will prove the power of radio: "Please take a break here, Mr. Garfield, we have another show that we need your cooperation with later, this is an interactive program, we will take some of the listeners' phones into the live broadcast room, and we will need your cooperation when the time comes." β
Time Magazine is also getting used to broadcasting, which is limited to content, and can only broadcast for about six hours a day, and will gradually extend to the whole day in the future.
The interview with James Garfield is just an experiment, and the broadcaster will add more music and sports programs in the future.
"Telephone, you mean the scene?" James Garfield still has doubts about the way of live broadcasting.
"Well, don't worry, Mr. Garfield, there will be a pre-screening of incoming calls, and the questions raised will be reviewed by us in advance - there will be no problems." Thomas Nast was so innocent that he almost didn't say it directly, and those calls were arranged by Time magazine itself.
In order to avoid live broadcast accidents, prior arrangements are essential, and of course the radio program also has a position, at least when James Garfield is a guest at Time magazine, voices that are unfavorable to the Republican Party cannot appear on the program.
Time Magazine has indeed made some arrangements, and those so-called "hotlines" are actually prepared by Time Magazine in advance, and if there are really naΓ―ve listeners who call the "hotline" announced by the radio company, then they will always get busy messages.
This is the so-called "media justice", not to mention that "Time Magazine" has no bottom line, until the 21st century, some radio stations are also operating like this, not to mention those notorious TV shopping, "Time Magazine" still has a bottom line, did not collude with Junma Telecom to increase the high telephone bills of those enthusiastic listeners, and wants to be influential for those leather bag companies that want money, which is also conducive to shaping the fair image of "Time Magazine".
It is a very interesting fact that as long as a company is not easy to make a profit, it can put some noble terms on its head to deceive, and some people will eat this set, especially for simple-minded white people.
Yes, compared with the Chinese, many white people are indeed quite simple-minded, and "simple" here is not a derogatory term, but a real literal meaning.
"That's good, we just need one voice." James Garfield is also quite simple, he only has one criterion for evaluating a company, and whether it is beneficial to his victory.
After a ten-minute break, James Garfield returned to the live broadcast room, not very good-looking, but unusually sweet after the anchor's simple opening remarks, and immediately cut into the first "hotline".
"Mr. James, I am a loyal Republican supporter, I support Mr. James, you are successfully elected, I believe that you will be able to lead the United States to a more brilliant future, I don't believe that the idiots of the Democratic Party can run this country well, if Samuel Tilden that idiot is elected, he will definitely restore slavery, then we will return to slave society, we will become the laughing stock of the whole world, so I support you, Mr. Navy, you must kill Samuel Tilden's XX raised-" The first enthusiastic listener was indeed enthusiastic, and came up to praise James Garfield and scold the Democratic Party for a while, and then hung up the phone neatly, the only flaw was that he seemed to have forgotten to ask questions, so that it was not convenient to enter the interactive session.
The Democratic Party's candidate this year is Samuel Tilden, and unlike the Republican Party, which is chaotic within the party, the Democratic Party has identified its candidate early and is determined to fight the Republican Party to the death in this election.
Samuel Tilden also has rich experience in governance, but it is still inferior to James Garfield, at least in terms of audience acceptance, Samuel Tilden is far inferior to James Garfield, but the Democratic Party has no better candidate, even if Samuel Tilden's election prospects are not optimistic, the Democratic Party can only grit its teeth, if it is replaced, it is basically equivalent to announcing that next year's election has no suspense.
"Thank you to this enthusiastic listener, and Mr. Speaker, do you have anything to say to our audience?" The anchor still knows how to guide, it doesn't matter if the "audience" is not dutiful enough, it can be made up for later.
This is the first time that radio has been used in a campaign, and the responsibility is heavy, and live broadcast is impossible, it can only be recorded, because there are too many uncontrollable factors in live broadcast, even if it is the anchor and the "audience", there will be no problems, James Garfield is still not reassuring here, after all, James Garfield has never been exposed to the new thing of broadcasting before.
In order to avoid accidents, Thomas Nast did not tell the truth to James Garfield, because he was worried that James Garfield did not pay enough attention to broadcasting, in fact, recording and broadcasting are more difficult than live broadcasts, and the technical requirements are also higher, not only to store audio files, but also to modify them later, and at present, Time Magazine in the world has this ability.
"Thank you very much for everyone's support for the Republican Party and for myself, I know that in the past administration, our president does not seem to have performed as well as he should have, but we also have to see that the Republican Party, as a mature party, has always been progressive, and we welcome the competition of the Democratic Party, because there is a contrast, it can show that the Republican Party is better, which has actually been confirmed in the state administration, in the past few decades, the Republican state, the economy has been in high growth, ignoring thisIf the Democrats win, they may perform well, but they may perform worse, and the key question is whether the bad degree can be acceptable to us - "James Garfield said that it was ten minutes, and it didn't matter if it was more to say, anyway, it could be edited later."
In order to do a good job of James Garfield's interview, Time Magazine still did a lot of work, including searching for imitators with a similar voice to James Garfield, so as to facilitate post-dubbing, which does sound a bit immoral, but it has to do this, if the Democrats do this kind of show, the Democrats will go even further.
Of course, the current Democrats do not have the opportunity to produce such a program, "Time" still has considerations, and then will invite Samuel Tilden to also produce such a program, of course, it will also be recorded, "Time" will also arrange corresponding "enthusiastic listeners", as well as post-production, but the result will be completely different at that time.
After another half an hour, James Garfield finally finished recording and walked out of the live studio sweating profusely.
"Great, Mr. Garfield, after today's show airs, our approval rating in New York will increase by at least five percentage points." Thomas Nast is very happy that making a show like this makes sense not only for James Garfield and the Republican Party, but also for the broadcaster.
"Thank you Thomas, for everything you've done for me." James Garfield finally remembered to thank Thomas Nast, although he had not yet seen the effect, but James Garfield believed that as long as Time Magazine did its best, James Garfield would have won more than half of it.
When he returned to the campaign office, James Garfield was in a better mood.
"How's the broadcast going?" Arthur didn't know much about the newness of broadcasting.
"Very well, I have to say, Ream made another smart choice-" James Garfield feels good, but as a politician, James Garfield seems to think more: "But I'm worried, you know what, Allen, the people at Time Magazine told me that my speech today will be heard by more than 100,000 people at the same time - I don't know how to describe it, but I think that if radio really has such a big effect, then it seems that radio should be more controlled by the government, If it's a private controlled broadcast, I don't know what that leads to. β
The former speaker of the House of Representatives certainly had enough political sensitivity, and in the last presidential campaign, the role of propaganda channels has been confirmed, and this time Li Mu has come up with such a thing as broadcasting, which makes James Garfield feel panicked in his heart.
Yes, it's panic, the kind of panic that things are about to get out of control, the more powerful people are, the more they value this feeling, why Li Mu is fanning the flames everywhere, in fact, it is also the desire to control, James Garfield, like Li Mu, is full of vigilance against uncontrolled forces.
"Don't think too much about James, our biggest goal now is to win the election, and everything else can be postponed in order to achieve that ultimate goal." Arthur is not worried about the power out of control, if the broadcast is in the hands of someone else, then maybe Arthur will be worried, but in the hands of Li Mu, Arthur really feels that it doesn't matter: "- At least, our interests are the same, look at this, the Russians want us to mediate the war in Vladivostok - this name is really awkward, or call him Hai - what is Hai?" β
"Vladivostok." James Garfield frowned, who said that Americans don't care about the Far East? In fact, everyone knows it very well in their hearts, but no one directly picks it out.
"Yes, it's Vladivostok, the Russians insist that the Ezo company is at the behest of Reem, so the Russians hope to reach further contact with Reem through us, and it is best to make Ream exercise restraint, if not, the Russians also want to know what Reem's bottom line is." Arthur's current goal is to help James Garfield win the election, and as for other details, Arthur doesn't really care.
"Don't you think so? Bai Qi, Ryukyu, Ezo Company, Horse Group, Far East Company, and Pacific Company, Reem - his power in the Far East is beyond our imagination, if Riem were white - " James Garfield did not finish, some words were too harsh to say, even James Garfield did not dare to say it.
"Whatever Reem is, he's an American." Arthur has a very different opinion than James Garfield on this issue, what about the Chinese?
As long as it does not endanger the interests of the United States, even if Li Mu turns the Far East upside down, Arthur does not care.
