509 Telecom Pioneer

After a brief phone call between King Qin and Shang Wen. King Qin handed over the phone to Wang Qian, who had just arrived, because Wang Jian and his son came on horseback. Everyone else has to prepare their cars. It is far less fast than Wang Jian and his son riding horses.

Wang Jian and Shang Wen also passed the words briefly and handed them to Wang Ben. Wang Jian was excited. But I always feel weird talking on the phone. It always feels unnatural. Wang Jian is not alone. Even King Qin felt this way. The phone call has not yet made this Qin State adapt to it all at once.

Similarly, Wang Ben hurriedly finished speaking and hung up the phone at once. For this reason, he also yelled for a while, until someone next to him reminded him to shake the crank before he could talk. Only then did Wang Ben understand. But he never spoke again. He gave the opportunity to Ting Wei, who had just arrived, and then Wei Yu and the others.

However, the phone never went through. Because Shang Wen put down the phone and connected the phone outside. Then he went out to meet the King of Qin.

"Your Majesty." "Father." Shang Wen and Yingyu were like little lovers who went back to their parents' house together to salute King Qin.

"No courtesy, no courtesy." King Qin stepped forward to help.

"Mr. Qin is the number one hero of my Great Qin." King Qin said appreciatively.

Shang Wen was a little embarrassed.

"Yesterday the widow was still in the telegram and could not sleep happily. The widow dreamed of this telegram in his dreams. Unexpectedly. Mr. invented this talking machine for the widow at once today. The widow was very happy. King Qin said loudly. King Qin was really happy. Because, the newspapers are constantly reporting that the Qin State is constantly expanding its territory, but with the expansion of the territory. It's unusually cumbersome to manage. Especially the lack of information. Even if there is a newspaper, it will take a while to learn. But the appearance of the telegram suddenly gave the King of Qin, who was trying to find a way to solve the problem of newly expanding territory every day, sleep well.

"Father, that machine is called a telephone. Father, the voice of your voice, Yu'er really listened. Yingyu said obediently.

"Good. Call the phone. King Qin changed his words.

"Phone." Wang Jian came with the King of Qin. Said to himself.

"That's right. The widow still has something important to discuss with his husband. Saying that, King Qin turned the topic to the main topic.

"Mr. Qin, the widow also talked to Meng Yi about this issue. How this telegram was erected. It's a bit difficult. The price of this wire is unusually high. Set it up. It's a lot of money. Meng Yi calculated for the widow. To lay a telegraph line from Xianyang to Guyang in the north, it would cost one million gold. I wonder what solution Mr. has? King Qin asked. Actually, King Qin was thinking about this issue yesterday. However, at that time, King Qin was very happy. But the next day, when King Qin was reading the newspaper. The Financial Express revealed the details of the wires. The Financial Express's views have a strong financial point of view. Because he always guided the development of the Qin State's finance. Especially in terms of stocks, futures. In this regard. No newspaper can compare to the Financial Express, although some newspapers also publish information on stock trading. But its influence is nowhere near as large as that of the Financial Express.

And the view of "Financial Express" is also very clear. It's a financial point of view. Look at the problem only from an economic point of view. That's not something that newspaper can compare. King Qin also admired the newspaper run by Yingyu very much, and it was such a unique point of view that made King Qin look at the changing Qin State with an eye-opening view. It was this newspaper that allowed King Qin to keep up with the pace of the times in time.

Shang Wen heard the question. smiled. It's a huge industry. And it's a completely new industry, and the profits in this industry are huge. And the prospects are very broad. Because the connection point between many upstream industries and downstream industries is this telecommunications industry. For example, newspapers. Messages can be delivered quickly by telegram, and news can be published in the first time. Upstream, the emergence of the telecommunications industry is bound to trigger the second industrial revolution of the Qin State. Electricity just knocked on the door, and the industry that followed was far bigger than expected. Power generation, steel, metal smelting. Even cars. will all benefit from the generation of electricity. King Qin's question made Shang Wen see another way. How to quickly develop the current predicament of the Qin State. Take advantage of the convenience brought by telecommunications to quickly open up the situation of the second industrial revolution. This gave Shangwen a new understanding.

It is better to find a way to meet the conditions, than to find a way to create an imbalance between supply and demand. In the case of an imbalance between supply and demand. It is often the business opportunity that is the greatest. It's also the time to develop at your highest potential. Telecommunications has the potential to give rise to the power sector. This was followed by the group-like development of other industries.

"Isn't it possible for Sir to crack this?" King Qin asked when he saw that Shang Wen was silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, the minister already has a way to crack it. Daqin doesn't need to spend a small amount of money. Shang Wen replied.

"Oh. Sir, let's hear it. King Qin said.

"All this, Your Majesty. It's all up to the eldest princess. Shang Wen said and looked at Yingyu.

"Me." Yingyu pointed to herself. looked at Shang Wen and King Qin blankly.

King Qin asked puzzled.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Wang, telegraph, telephone, is the telecommunications industry of Qin. The Qin State has mastered this technology at present, but it has not been able to popularize it for a while. If it is allowed to be popularized by the Qin State itself, the cost is too great. But rely on the power of business. That is, the power of the people. That was a great help from the Qin State. Shang Wen said. King Qin listened silently.

"The eldest princess holds most of my Great Qin's banks in her hands, and she has sufficient capital in her hands. At the same time, it is involved in train transportation. Trains because of communication problems. The start has been slow. Only one trip a day. But the telegram again. Phone. Just send a telegram. Make a phone call. can tell the other party. The problem of transporting trains can be solved. Shang Wen said.

King Qin nodded in agreement. Because judging by the current demand. Yingyu's monopoly on the train transportation industry is the telegraph, the telephone is the biggest demand.

"On the other hand, telegraphs and telephones can be extended along the railroad line. Provide more convenient communication for my Daqin. The two can develop each other. Shang Wen's words were not finished. Yingyu stepped forward and interjected.

"You mean to say that you want me to lay this telegram, the telephone line. It's going to cost a lot. Yingyu said heartbrokenly.

"Although it costs money at first. But it won't take many years. and thou shalt be troubled by the collection of money. Shang Wen said jokingly.

"Really?" Yingyu asked.

Shang Wen nodded in agreement.
