The TV station was not built on the top of the mountain, but at the bottom of the mountain. It was a 3-story zigzag building, surrounded by lawns, and outside it was a wall with 3-meter-high iron railings surrounding the city. Every 100 meters or so,
There is a watchtower with 3 federal soldiers and 2 military dogs inside, who are responsible for guarding this place. Anyone without a certificate is not allowed to get close to the iron fence.
At the entrance of the iron fence, David saw two tanks parked, one on the left and one on the right guarding the only entrance and exit. All people entering and exiting had to get off the car and go through inspection before they could enter. Liu
Fu's motorcade also stopped at the door, but after verifying the motorcade's credentials, the federal troops responsible for guarding the area did not actually inspect the president's motorcade. Instead, they formed two rows at the door and saluted the motorcade.
Liu Fu did not engage in any drama about having fun with the soldiers and civilians, nor did he get out of his car to deliver an impromptu speech. After being the president for so many years, Liu Fu knew that all those things were just for show. If he had the time to prepare a speech, he might as well think more about it.
Thinking about how to exempt people from taxes and gain more benefits for the country. Besides, Liu Fu is afraid of death. He has been avoiding showing up in public these years. The feeling that bullets may fly from all directions at any time is really
Not comfortable.
At the TV station, Liu Fu handed David over to the staff of the TV station and asked them to take him around the TV station. Then he gave him an overview of the entire working process of the TV station, making sure that he understood what was going on here.
How it works, and I came to the recording room of the TV station, watching with interest the people who were TV workers for the first time busy producing the recorded programs.
Liu Fu once entered a TV station in later generations and saw live and recorded TV broadcasts with his own eyes. Although he did not understand how to produce TV programs, he could still put forward some very constructive suggestions in terms of scenery, lighting, etc.
, when he provided the idea of a teleprompter in later generations to the announcer who was recording a news program, the female announcer who switched jobs from a radio station to a TV station looked at Liu Fu and her eyes lit up.
Although Liu Fu has been a man for two generations, he still can't look directly at the glory of the opposite sex with such a big age difference. At this time, David had already received free education, and Liu Fu quickly left the recording room and joined David
Returned to the Presidential Palace.
On the way back, David was like a child who had visited the zoo for the first time. He happily told Liu Fu about everything he saw that made him feel new. For example, the 2-meter-long thing that looked like a cannon
A similar camera, the kind that can change different
Spotlights with different colors and patterns, the kind of scenery built with wooden boards, etc. Since the two of them were sitting face to face in the armored vehicle, Liu Fu couldn't even hide, so she could only listen to David's slightly childish look.
Commentary, while correcting some of the erroneous views.
After returning to the Presidential Palace, David finally became quieter and began to discuss with Liu Fu the issue of establishing a TV station in the United States. Originally, according to Liu Fu's intention, he would first build two small TV stations in New York and San Francisco to try out the effect.
It’s not too late to build more, because Liu Fu can guarantee that this TV system is the exclusive invention of the South China Sea Federation. As for the TV, Liu Fu plans to hand it over directly to David for production
, although there are some patent thresholds, that thing cannot stop others from imitating it. However, as for TV stations, without the guidance of professionals, it is difficult to completely rely on copycats. At least the quality of TV programs cannot be guaranteed.
Because the TV station system is not all hardware equipment, but also has many ideas and processes that are all software created by the human brain. This thing cannot be simply copied.
But David's ideas were different from Liu Fu's. As a businessman, his main idea was how to maximize the benefits of a commodity. After calculating the total investment amount, he decided to set up establishments in New York, San Francisco, Atlanta and Dallas in one go.
The four TV stations will first use wireless reception to arrange the broadcast of news, current political commentary, stock information, and some simple
entertainment programs and advertisements, and then gradually expand the program sources. As for cable pay TV programs, David does not plan to consider them at the moment. First, because laying cables consumes too much money. Second, there are not many TV programs now. David plans to add more programs to the program.
After the library reaches a certain amount and the popularity of television sets is relatively high, a paid cable TV project can be launched.
Liu Fu had no objection to David's plan. In terms of business talent, Liu Fu couldn't keep up with David. Since he said it was reasonable, Liu Fu, an amateur, had no need to interfere with the judgment of professionals.
Regarding the domestic television system of the South China Sea Federation, Liu Fu also followed David's suggestion and postponed the cable pay television project for a while and focused on building a wireless broadcast television network first, striving to cover the whole country as soon as possible.
Different from the original refrigerators, washing machines, motorcycles, cars and other products, Liu Fu only handed over the manufacturing and sales rights of TV sets to Sandru Electric Company this time, while the production and sales of other TV system equipment were all handled by a company.
The company controlled by the Nanhai Federation means that if that country wants to purchase television equipment, it must be sold by this company. This is a decision Liu Fu made to control the development and competition of other companies in the television industry.
In addition to manufacturing and selling televisions, establishing TV stations and constructing television broadcasting networks, Liu Fu also made a special request to David, that is, in the American television broadcasting network established by David, the South China Sea Federal Television Agency must broadcast every day
Cartoons or TV shows must be produced during prime time. David is used to Liu Fu's compulsive requirements, just like those newspapers, fast food restaurants and comic books. David feels that Liu Fu
He is an arrogant nationalist who never forgets to promote his values wherever he goes.
In December 1924, four large construction sites appeared simultaneously in the suburbs of four cities in the United States: New York, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Dallas. These construction sites had several things in common. First, they were all located at relatively high altitudes.
Secondly, deep foundations are being dug in various places, and thirdly, large quantities of steel structures are being continuously shipped.
These construction sites were where David's TV transmission towers were built. David did not follow Liu Fu's suggestion and built four more Eiffel Towers of various models in these places because David was afraid of being laughed at by the upper class. If he really wanted to
If he does this, he will probably become a legendary figure in the American business community, "the father of the four Eiffel Tower brothers." In David's words, there is no more shameless person in the world than Liu Fu.
In order to highlight his cultural and artistic flavor, David specially hired a number of architects from the United States and Europe to help him design 4 iron towers with different styles. The tallest one reaches 370 meters, and it stands proudly in the sky.
In a forest on the westernmost edge of Manhattan Island. When the New York City government heard that the world-class tycoon Mr. David was going to build the world's tallest iron tower in New York, USA, not only did it not
No matter what the environment and safety issues were, it was difficult for him. Instead, a resolution was unanimously passed, that is, a park under the jurisdiction of the municipal government on the westernmost edge of Manhattan Island was provided free of charge to David to use to build the tower. This is equivalent to saying that David
There is no need to spend money to buy land. Of course, after the tower is built, the woods and grassland in the park will still have to be restored, and David will be responsible for the annual maintenance costs in the future.
While David was busy building a TV station, he also had to travel between San Francisco and Singapore. There were two TV production lines this time, one in San Francisco and the other in Singapore. As for why the TV production line should be
In Singapore, it was not because of Liu Fu's request, but because of David's voluntary decision.
The wages of personnel in the South China Sea Federation are lower than those in the United States, and the prices of raw materials are also lower. The most important thing is that the industrial unions in the South China Sea Federation have just emerged. The struggle between investors and labor unions is not so fierce, so production lines are set up in the South China Sea Federation.
The prices of the products produced are lower than those in the United States. (To be continued...)
