Chapter 092: Here They Come

Live TV was invented by Dr. Lee, and the first live TV model to appear in the public eye was Jennifer.

The reporters took a photo of the inventor, Dr. Lee, and also a photo of the model Jennifer projected on the screen.

The live televised performance on Fifth Avenue lasted for three days and caused a lot of buzz among New Yorkers.

The U.S. Patent Office approved and issued patent No. US-1929916, which is Li Kangping's patent for mechanical television.

Photos of Li Kangping and Jennifer were published in newspapers, and Li Kangping was described by the American media as "the pioneer of live television", and Jennifer was "the first TV actress".

In general, Zeus Laboratory has achieved the world's first in the field of mechanical TV stand-alone, so how to do systematic application? Does Li Kangping want to do the commercial development of mechanical TV systematization?

It can be seen from the information conveyed by Li Kangping to the media that Li Kangping is willing to build TV into a popular commodity.

However, Li Kangping has long told his technician that we are a small company, with no money and no people, and it is almost impossible to do the systematic and commercial development of TV.

Throughout the history of science and technology, once inventors have invented an invention with commercial potential, large capital groups will soon step in.

No, the American radio company came to the door.

"Dr. Li, congratulations on the success and praise of your live TV performance, and I would like to visit your lab as soon as possible to have a technical exchange on the technical aspects of television. Have a great day. RCA Kevin M. Dr. F. Salman. ”

Li Kangping looked at this exquisite post, thought for a while, and wrote a reply letter: "Kevin Dr. F. Salman, it is a pleasure to receive your letter, and my technical team and I will be waiting for you at Zeus Lab in Queens the day after tomorrow. I wish you good health. Dr. K.P. Lee. ”

"This reply doesn't need to be posted, Theodore, you send it directly to the RCA building now." Li Kangping handed the reply letter to Theodore, and he continued: "Theodore, Alex, I appoint you two as senior technical directors of Zeus Laboratory, and your new business card will be ready immediately." ”

"Senior Tech Executive, sounds pretty good. In addition, if we can cooperate with RCA, we have a great chance of realizing our TV dreams! After Theodore said this, he happily sent the letter.

"Dr. Li, you know, something that a small company can't do, and that has significant value and potential to continue to be developed, then there will be big companies that 'help' the small companies to do it." Alex said.

"For me, it doesn't matter, whether it's a big company or a small company, as long as you can make TV a real universal commodity, you are contributing to science."

"Dr. Li, do you really think so?"

"Actually, for a second, I thought so."

Two days later, Li Kangping welcomed RCA's Kevin K. Dr. F. Salman and his party.

"Dr. Salman, it's a pleasure to meet you. They are Theodore and Alex, senior technical directors of Zeus Labs. ”

"Dr. Li, I'm glad to meet you too. They were my assistants, Fred and Matthew. ”

The crowd gets to know each other and then moves on to the technical topic.

"Dr. Lee, I've seen your TV show on Fifth Avenue." "Now, I want to know more specific technical details. In exchange, your lab will receive a variety of resources from RCA, including funding, personnel, equipment, and more. ”

The RCA is really bullish for the U.S. national team, and Dr. Salman's posture has a condescending and undeniable momentum.

Before talking about technology, Li Kangping first asked a clear question: "So Dr. Salman, what is the price that our Zeus laboratory will pay?" ”

Dr. Salman smiled, "You don't have to pay the price, you will get the benefits." ”

"Really?" Li Kangping also kept smiling.

"To tell you the truth, we are very interested in your TV patent, and we are more interested in you yourself, Dr. Li." "If possible, we would like to buy your TV patents, and I promise you that the price will not disappoint you." If necessary, after RCA obtains your patent, we hope to continue with Dr. Li to take the lead in the follow-up technology development matters. ”

Li Kangping said resolutely: "Dr. Salman, I should say sorry, it is possible and necessary, I don't think I can do it at all." ”

"Dr. Lee, I think you should know that without the support of RCA, it would be difficult for your TV to be promoted across the United States." Dr. Salman said in a calm tone.

"Then don't promote it." Li Kangping spread his hands and said, "Seventeen years later, our TV patent protection will expire, and at that time, you can do everything you want." ”

"So we can't talk about technology today?" Dr. Salman wasn't upset, he looked a little regretful.

"What do you think, Dr. Salman?"

"Anyway, it's a pleasure to be received by you, Dr. Lee, and Theodore and Alex, goodbye"

"Goodbye."

The first meeting of the Zeus Labs team with the RCA team did not talk about technology.

Theodore said worriedly: "The wireless transmission in the United States is monopolized by RCA, and the wired transmission is monopolized by AT AnT, and we all know that AT AnT is one of the shareholders of RCA, that is to say, wireless and wired communication in the United States are monopolized by that group of people." Dr. Salman is not alarmist, he is right, if we don't have RCA's support, our TVs will have to stay in labs or malls, 20 yards, a few blocks away at most. ”

"So Dr. Lee, will you accept RCA's 'help'?" Alex asked.

"Theodore, Alex, remember that Zeus Lab will never be reduced to their puppet." Li Kangping said resolutely, and he said: "You can rest for a while, go out and have fun, but don't go too far, because I will summon you back at any time." ”

Li Kangping announced that Zeus Laboratory was temporarily on vacation, and he came to the headquarters of the King's Mansion to handle official business. It is also a shame to say that Li Kangping wrote a great paper like "Waves of Matter" and made a significant space quantization experiment such as the Woodgate-Lee experiment, but he was not well known to the American masses because of his outstanding achievements in the field of academic research, and no scholar in the field of academic research was willing to serve Zeus Laboratory.

On the contrary, it was the invention of television that was widely reported by the American media, which made the name of Dr. Li Kangping, the "pioneer of live television", spread rapidly in American society.
