Chapter 0499 - New Television Industry
The annual meeting of the No. 22 club is becoming more and more lively every year, and its influence is increasing day by day.
Although Li Zitao can't get rid of the evaluation of nouveau riche and shit luck, no one can despise him based on strength alone.
At this time, the upper class of the United States did not have the arrogance of later generations.
If you want to break into high society with assets alone after the 60s, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
Why does Tronnie's big mouth have to run for president, it's not that he was slammed by O'Black Bull in the White House, saying that he is an upstart, a turtle, and his family has no background, which makes people despise him together.
is to succeed in becoming president, New York's top upper-class traditional gatherings, still without his invitation.
You don't have to live in a wealthy area to really be one of them.
Maybe the neighbors around you don't have as much money as you, but the family has already successfully obtained a pass to the upper class when your ancestors were still mud legs.
In fact, this is completely a stinky mistake learned from the British, what kind of background, bloodline, and the history of the United States itself is too short, so it can only talk about it and use a few years as a watershed to highlight the status of its family.
Li Zitao is not very interested in this set, otherwise with his current status, as long as he takes the initiative to speak, no one will invite him to participate in the top club party.
Let them take the initiative to invite a minority, who is still a 'nouveau riche,' has earned more money in a few years than they have earned in several lifetimes, and the veteran dignitaries are a little embarrassed, waiting for him to speak, but Li Zitao is unmoved.
If you invite me, I'll go, if you don't invite Lao Tzu, you won't mix, you play yours, I'll play mine, anyway, his plate is big enough, and there are a lot of people on the boat, why bother to hold the stinky feet of a group of old guys.
This is also Li Zitao's confidence, the Habsburg and the Grand Duke's family are all his proud capital.
Otherwise, every time he meets with the big guy, why does he always take out his pocket watch to see if Wise's identity is no longer a secret in the eyes of those who care.
It's just that the little old man is willing to live a small life incognito, hiding in the farm, and no one is in the mood to invite a descendant of the respected Holy Emperor to come out and make offerings.
The Grand Duke family of Luxembourg is the well-known network capital on the surface.
In addition to the Rockefeller family, it was because he and Lawrence hit it off at first sight, and John Jr. admired him a lot, and some of these old foxes he befriended later did not look at the face of the Grand Duke.
Don't look at those guys who call themselves gentlemen, shouting the banner of 'breaking racism', in fact, in their hearts, now the white skin looks down on no one except themselves and the old British and French.
Li Zitao has been able to mix smoothly over the years, how much of it is due to Mary's credit, everyone is a smart person, and they know it.
Of course, this also requires Li Zitao himself to have the capital to make them look sideways, if he can't support the wall in the mud, no matter how powerful his identity background is, he is blind.
So every time he faced the Grand Duke family, he behaved very politely, and when he was hired, he directly took out 30% of the shares of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.
This year's Thanksgiving is going to Luxembourg for the holidays, Mary asked the servants to start preparing early, and Li Zitao also prepared a lot of gifts.
The small items I brought out from the antique shop last time were just enough to be given as gifts to the eldest princess, the fourth princess, and the sixth princess.
As for Jean and the little prince Charles, Li Zitao specially prepared American muscle toys.
Two concept cars that have just been rebuilt from the F931, the Hummer H-1.
The car is already on the ship to France, and the rough atmosphere and strong power, as well as the extreme off-road ability, I believe that the two of them will be satisfied.
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, New York.
Li Zitao and Mary were packing up their salutes, and One Gulfstream was already waiting at the airport.
"Charlie, how about this necklace for my mother?" Mary held a thin platinum chain in her hand, and the pendant was a necklace of sapphires with a gesture on her chest.
"Steady, atmospheric, and discerning. Li Zitao praised.
"I knew it. Glancing at him coquettishly, Mary couldn't help but laugh again, and the sweetheart always made her unable to resist.
"It's almost time, alright?" handing the salute to the hotel staff, Mary took his hand and left the hotel gracefully.
Last night at the gate of the Empire State Building, the reporters took enough photos for 1 year, and today they are still guarding the door.
No way, who makes the people love to watch it!
A newspaper with the headline of the Lee couple represents sales, and a smile and a wave of hands are enough to write a report that can win a bonus.
The car drove away slowly, Li Zitao looked back at the reporters who were talking to each other with cameras in front of the hotel, comparing who took good pictures, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.
"It's a good thing we don't live in New York, otherwise our daily lives would have been serialized in a newspaper and turned into a TV series. "The distress of celebrities, Li Zitao is still not very adaptable.
"What is the TV series?" asked Mary curiously.
"Uh...", Li Zitao turned his head and said easily: "Magic box, I call it TV, TV series is the story played in it, just like a continuous story that divides the movie into upper and lower parts or many parts......"
Talking and talking, Li Zitao was interested, yes, the TV industry is not mature now, and the mechanical TV invented by the British is just a mechanical device that scans pictures and maps pictures, and it can't be called a TV at all.
But it already has its prototype, and the next thing is just a matter of R&D time, cost, and popularity.
News Corp. can register a television station now, erect a signal transmission tower, Jonathan's industrial group can also invest in research, and the next wave of acquisitions is just the time to reshuffle.
"I'm going to make a phone call. Li Zitao said to the driver.
The driver pressed the red button under the center armrest of the front row, the tail of the armrest popped up, and the board holding the phone was sent out with the sound of the gear turning.
Grabbing the phone stick and turning it around a few times, Li Zitao dialed Jonathan's office and told him about the 'magic box'.
Then he connected to News Corp. and asked Harry to go to the government to register a television station, and the definition and details of the television station would be uploaded to him on the plane.
Put the phone back on the board, the driver pressed the button, and retracted the armrest horizontally, Li Zitao felt that he should also install a few wireless phones on his car, it was much more convenient to have it.
"Are you going to venture into new territory?" asked Mary, who was listening.
"It's not a new industry, and in the future, newspapers, television, etc. will be collectively called media, but TV will change people's lifestyles, just like telephones and airplanes. ”
When Li Zitao spoke, he unintentionally saw the driver's excited expression from the rearview mirror out of the corner of his eye, and it seemed that someone was going to make a lot of money because of eavesdropping.
