Volume IV Boom 17 is now striking the time on time

Laura held her stomach and was not good at walking, so she had to take the phone and call the real room.

"Miss Doroti? Yes, I'm Laura? William. Broadcast real yàn to do your best to implement, yes, that's what I mean, please tell Mr. Tesla truthfully. ”

The next day, the Los Angeles Times ran the bombshell news, "Genius scientist Nikolai? Tesla is about to build the first radio station in the United States in Hollywood, and the live radio broadcast of William University will be available within a 50-kilometer radius of Beverly Hills!

It was a great event, just like Maniko emitting radio waves over the Atlantic, heralding a new era in the dissemination of human information!

And isn't our lovely Mr. Nikolai the inventor of the radio? This is the pride of Los Angeles, the pride of California. We look forward to the popularization of this new media in Los Angeles and across the United States, and I believe that day is not far off! ”

As soon as the "Los Angeles Times" came out, it became a sensation in the United States. Not only because the broadcast is real, but also because he is Nikolai? Tesla, an extraordinary genius.

Once he was in New York, Colorado's several realizations were eye-catching, but for various reasons, the realism failed, and the genius slowly faded out of people's sight.

This time he made a comeback, and in Hollywood, where all eyes were on him, he was once again in the spotlight.

After the bombing, Harding's election, the dispatch of the Bureau of Investigation and other major events, after the wave of red terror gradually subsided, Nikolai? Tesla quickly caught people's attention like a star.

What kind of surprise will this scientific madman with devilish abilities bring to people, and will he succeed?

Many elderly people recall a few decades ago, when American scientific inventions were endless, Edison, Nikolai, Thompson, Marconi and many other geniuses competed vividly, and it was these genius inventions that changed the United States and made the country strong.

Nikolai is not only concerned by ordinary gossip-loving people, but also by many giants of the scientific community who are curiously turning their eyes to distant California.

"That naïve and stubborn guy has been to Los Angeles in the past few years, and it seems to have changed a lot, but he is still so coquettish! Will he succeed? ”

Edison put down the newspaper, some disdain, some expectation.

"That terrible genius head, if he wants to, he will succeed!"

Marconi sighed inwardly. In the field of radio, that genius was indeed more gifted than himself, although he did not have the same nimble business acumen as himself.

And when the news reached Westinghouse Electric in Pittsburgh, they felt like they had eaten flies. "Damn, it's clear that we're going to do this broadcast first, and we actually let him go ahead of us. That liar, deceived us. Damn, can our real yàn be advanced?????? What the? It's going to be next month at the earliest—"

One of Westinghouse's top brass roared angrily. It turns out that Westinghouse is also doing a similar kind of real thing, but the progress is behind Nikolai? Tesla.

Nikolai had applied to Westinghouse to study the radio project, but was rejected because Westinghouse intended to do it on its own and did not want Nikolai to interfere.

Although Nikolai's alternating current technology laid the foundation of Westinghouse, even the company's founder, Wiss? House was all squeezed out of Westinghouse, not to mention Nikolai, who didn't have a good reputation? Tesla?

"Let's hope that liar fails!" Westinghouse looked forward to it, "Of course, we're going to do everything we can to speed up the radio broadcast." Even if he succeeds, what so what? The invention of alternating current does not mean that this technology can be successfully used, only Westinghouse is the most influential electrical company! ”

Putting aside the jealous speculation of business competitors, radio enthusiasts and many electrical engineers in the United States are looking forward to Nikolai? Tesla's success, many people even made a special trip to Los Angeles to experience this event in person.

"I still love tossing so much, it's too coquettish!" Situ Nan looked at the newspaper and smiled. As a native of New York, he also had to care about what was happening in Los Angeles.

"It's a pity we're not here, otherwise we would have been able to get involved." He Yongyuan said with some regret.

"It's not a pity, it's not a pity. It's just a real yàn. Success or failure is not too important, wireless broadcasting technology is in a period of growth, there will be more advanced technology in the future, a temporary lead does not mean too much, and the smile is the last win. Situ Nan said lightly. Having said that, I was very happy in my heart.

The next few years will be the time when commercial radio stations will proliferate and proliferate in the United States, and there will be tens of thousands of radio stations in all states, large and small.

Giants like General Electric and Westinghouse Electric can quickly catch up as long as they put in the effort. However, it is not bad to take this opportunity to make a name for Cummins Electric!

Situ Nan thought to himself. With Nikola in hand, Cummins Electric has achieved good results in its development and has accumulated a lot of technology, especially in the field of power generation, transmission and radio, which can have a hard fight with Westinghouse.

As for General Electric, the biggest business is the manufacture of electrical appliances, such as lighting equipment, which has the foundation laid by Edison, and it is difficult for other companies to surpass them in this regard.

Situ Nan still misses his home in Los Angeles. "Hey! Honey, are you okay? Situ Nan called Laura.

"It's good. Can you come back to welcome our baby? Laura's longing voice came over the phone.

"Of course. I'll definitely be back. Situ Nan swore and asked with some concern, "By the way, Nikolai's real yàn didn't bother you, did it?" ”

"Nope." Laura excitedly said, "Honey, I feel that this radio broadcast is going to be a success, Nikolai has tried it in our house, and it works." It's going to be officially broadcast tomorrow. ”

"That's good! Don't get too tired, leave the Foundation's affairs alone, and pay attention to your body. Situ Nan chattered.

Although the wife is capable, she can't be too diligent.

Put down the phone and come out of William Financial Holdings, Robles Securities on Wall Street, Stuart South Walk.

Before entering Robles Securities, Situ Nan couldn't help but glance at Merrill Lynch on the opposite side, there were many people coming in and out, and the business seemed to be good.

Although it did not start as a nouveau riche in Robles Securities, but step by step, Merrill Lynch Securities Company has also developed, at least in the future booming twenties, Merrill Lynch Securities can also share a lot of results, after all, its financial management has done a good job.

"It's not easy to get a foothold on Wall Street." Situ Nan nodded and went directly to the chairman's office on the roof.

"What wind is blowing you up?" Robles asked with a smile.

"There are talks and laughs, it looks like the company's recent performance is good." Situ Nan said with a smile.

"It's okay! Recently, there has been a lot of turmoil, and there has been little recession, but we have made a few speculations. Robles smiled and thought to himself, in addition to Robles Securities' own strong strength, as well as the intelligence and support of Moody's-Fitch Assessments, those ambitious and powerful speculators were naturally no match.

"After the company grows bigger, although speculation can make a lot of money, the efficiency is not too obvious. It seems that it is necessary to make a long-term investment. Robles shook his head again.

"I'm relieved that you can think like that." Situ Nan nodded with satisfaction, "I am very optimistic about the US economy, and there will be a rare opportunity in the future, so I plan to spin off some industries and invest them in the automobile, steel, electrical, petroleum and other industries." You need to be prepared for this. ”

Situ Nan admonished.

"Don't worry! Now we have a lot of securities firms following behind us, and our financing strength is much stronger than at the beginning, so corporate financing is not a problem. Robles said confidently.

"By the way, I heard that you've been busy investing in movies lately?" Robles asked suddenly.

"What? Are you also interested? Situ Nan asked with a smile.

"There's a friend, who works in the bank, and he's interested in movies, and he's just coming from Boston." Robles explained.

"Good vision. Is it familiar? Situ Nan asked curiously.

"It's ok. Harvard alumnus, his family is quite influential in Boston, so he has some business dealings. Robles said.

"In that case, I'll have time to meet this friend, if he's interested in movies." Situ Nan smiled casually. He didn't expect Robles's classmates to surprise him quickly!

After a while, Situ Nan asked again, "Nikolai?" Have you heard of Tesla's broadcast? ”

"I've read the newspaper. Kidnap to that crazy old man and let you pick up the bargain. Robles teased, looking at Situ Nan curiously, wondering how Situ Nan kidnapped Nikolai? Tesla's.

"It's good to know. You help me pay attention to the electrical companies in the United States, those companies that have the technology, but not the strength, especially in the electronic side. I'm going to buy a few and integrate into Cummins Electric. Situ Nan commanded.

Robles Securities has helped so many companies issue debt stocks, has a lot of economic information in their hands, and with its Moody's-Fitch company, it is not difficult to find a few companies that meet Situan's requirements??????

One day in August 1921, the sun was slowly rising as usual, shining warmly on California.

It was dawn early, and Hollywood woke up from five o'clock, and today's popularity was particularly early, and everyone looked at the Eiffel Tower at the top of Beverly Hill with anticipation on their faces.

At the foot of Beverly Hill, the Hollywood Hotel, the University of William, the Twentieth Century William Film Company, the M Kee (Madepow) fast-food restaurant, the hotel, the coffee shop, the bookstore, brought together a large group of curious people staring at a plugged box. It is said that you can hear voices coming from the mountains.

Since yesterday, they have been sent in one after another and installed in the most prominent places. These are all free, and many bosses and managers think that if the broadcast starts smoothly, these clumsy-looking radios are expected to bring more customers, and business will be booming.

The most excited are the teachers and students of the School of Electrical Engineering at William University, who are in the lovely and respectable Nikolai? Under the leadership of Mr. Tesla, the first radio station in the United States was about to be established in Hollywood.

They sat in the classroom, staring nervously at the box on the podium that they had helped to design and build—the radio.

And not far from the classroom, in an independent house, several technicians in white robes are putting the finishing touches on the machine.

They've been tested before, but they'll have to be patient to check them again just in case.

Principal Stratton stood aside, looking at the skilled technicians who were debugging the equipment, and his heart was full of pride, because these people were all teachers and students of William University.

This sleek, sophisticated broadcast studio was also designed by William University students after a lot of practical work, and the surrounding walls are covered with attractive materials, while the expensive equipment is specially arranged in separate rooms, and many of the equipment is in Nikolai? Tesla's actual room design, produced by Cummins Electric in Long Beach, can be said to be the most advanced broadcast system in the world.

This is not only the result of the efforts of the faculty and students of the School of Electrical Engineering at William University, but also the million-dollar construction of the William Foundation's broadcasting system.

So there is only success and no failure!

Stepping into the broadcast studio in the eyes of everyone, Nikolai? Tesla walked in with a calm face, every step he took was so firm, every inch of his eyes was so confident, and every subtle movement and expression touched everyone's hearts.

"What is the result of debugging the equipment?" Nikolai asked a Chinese student next to him.

"A qiē is good. Just contacted the top of the mountain, and the test above is fine. Qilu replied with a puffed chest, looking at Nikolai with a look of adoration? Tesla.

Look at this hard-working guy with pimples and just popping out of his beard, Nikolai? Tesla nodded in satisfaction.

Although the little guy is intellectually inferior to me, he is diligent enough and learns things quickly, and he almost has the hard work of the guy who made the electric light from more than 1,000 kinds of materials.

Nikolai thought to himself.

Qilu saw Nikolai looking at himself fixedly, as if he wasn't, as if he was thinking about something, and his mind wandered. Oh my God, how can you get distracted at such a heavy moment?

He hurriedly reminded: "Mr. Tesla, the time is almost up, you can start!" ”

"Boom!" The clock on the wall rang suddenly, and it was nine o'clock. Shake Nikolai's spirits. He walked over to the microphone, flipped the switch, and whispered that he was ready to speak.

Stratton and the others held their breath, waiting for the world's human voice to sound over the air for the first time.

Nikolai? Tesla spoke, and said in his slightly Serbian-accented English: "It's time on the hour, it's nine o'clock in the West 8th District time in the United States, and you heard the radio from William University, I'm Nikolai?" Tesla. Now, I announce that Hollywood, William University, William Star Radio, was founded! ”

Although Nikolai? Tess tried his best to speak in a low voice, and his voice was very excited, but he had to admit that it was this eloquence that was really not very eloquent, and it was not the voice of the good voice of the United States that came from more than 100 radios installed around Hollywood, and the whole Hollywood was excited, and many citizens who were attracted from Los Angeles also rushed back to the city quickly, running to tell each other, and put Nikolai? News of Tesla's broadcast success spread throughout Los Angeles.

Roar, roar, roar

It was the first time that humans heard such a clear voice from the airwaves, and their hearts were shaken, and their thirst for information made them ecstatic, and they instinctively felt that the box that could hear distant sounds would change their lives.

Many radio enthusiasts were almost moved to tears, they could finally throw away the clumsy, low-powered ore radio, and no longer have to endure the muffled noise.

"yes yes!" William University was boiling, cheers came from all corners, one after another, and many people rushed out of the classroom, gathered in front of the radio door, and looked at the brothers and teachers inside with envy.

The radio ignited the passion of these young students, making them really feel that this is about to be a big time, and they are in it.

The fire was planted in their hearts, the thirst for technology, the pursuit of truth, and the determination and confidence that inspired these people at the turn of the century to have the courage to explore.

Nikolai? After reading a small passage, Stella gave up her seat to the nervously waiting announcer, a boy from the Faculty of Letters who was good at debating and reciting.

"Thank you, Mr. Tesla, for his ingenuity that has given me the privilege of sitting here and giving voice to the audience, I'm the host Mike? Jason. The month ahead will be the Williamstar Radio Broadcast Test Time, which runs from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. The content includes news, music, the Bible, and all sorts of interesting stories?????? ”

"Congratulations! Nikolai! "Stratton stepped forward to hug Nikolai? Tesla.

"Thank you. Ernest, you are a good person and have helped me a lot, thank you. "Nikolai? Tesla looked at Stratton gratefully. Although this principal is usually a little stingy, he is still a good person.

"Huh. It's not easy! I'm proud of you. Stratton laughed.

At this moment, he is an elder, in order to prepare for the establishment of William University, he gave up a lot of research, put his energy into school management, and now William University can independently establish the first radio station in the United States, a school founded less than 5 years can make such achievements, it is really remarkable.

This Los Angeles has come to the right place! It will be the best university on the West Coast and the best in the United States.

Stratton thought to himself, Nikolai? Tesla and a group of other geniuses gave him a lot of confidence.

Nikolai? When Tesla came out of the radio room, he was immediately applauded by the students around him. Although this old man has some quirks, many people have seen his true face for the first time, but it does not prevent them from treating him like a hero.

Through the hilarious crowds, Nikolai? With a smile on his face, Tesla walked leisurely along the neat and quiet path, feeling extra relaxed.

"Mr. Tesla, you've finally succeeded, you're the best." Doroti's face flushed slightly with excitement, and he held the hand of this man who was full of talent but had a bad fate.

I think of a few years ago, when I was being chased by tax officials in New York, and my house was moved from a hotel to a modest Blackstone Hotel, countless people were watching their jokes and almost went bankrupt and went to prison.

Nikolai? Tesla shook his head and laughed silently.

"Countless people have worked all night day and night to deliver it in vain, and now it has finally succeeded. It's not easy. Nikolai turned his head and looked at Doroti, this woman who has been silently with him all the way for 6 years, never abandoned, although not beautiful, but it gives people a warm feeling, so that Nikolai? Tesla's heart is full.

He leaned in gently and embraced her into his arms. Doroti struggled slightly, her body stiffened, but quickly softened.
