Volume IV Boom 19 Kuva & Sky

The United States has a vast territory and a large population, and the radio broadcasting industry has broad prospects, and a wave of establishing radio broadcasting is in full swing. ////( n)

Cummins Broadcasting Corporation and the Los Angeles Times Newspaper Group will jointly invest $5 million to establish 80 radio stations in major cities in the western regions of California, Texas, Colorado, Utah, and Washington over the next five years.

At the same time, in the east, Cummins Broadcasting is also preparing to invest more than $7 million in wireless broadcasting with the New York Times and Moody's Fitch, striving to decisively occupy as much of the wireless broadcasting market as possible while other companies are still hesitating.

Situ Nan opened the newspaper and found that the whole article was a radio broadcast report, and after intensive bombing, it made people feel a little aesthetically fatigued.

Situ Nan found it a little bored, and simply ignored the so-called headlines and read about the transatlantic flight race with relish.

"Is this what you call the announcer?" Kuzdova looked at Situ Nan with some expectation.

"Yes. You have a good voice, practice and you should be able to do it. Situ Nan looked at Kuzdova and couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He really didn't want to expose his delicate face to the public, but he was always locked in a cage for fear that the canary would die.

"You wait patiently for two more months, and Cummins Broadcasting will set up a radio station in New York, so let's go to the radio station when you are bored!" Situ Nan said while reading the newspaper.

"Oh yes!" Kuzdova was very happy to hear this, and sweetly waved Situ Nan's face.

Situ Nan smiled and continued to read the financial news, generally speaking, the US economy is in the adjustment stage, relatively stable, and not as frequently as it was some time ago due to political factors.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you." Kuzdova hesitated.

"Say." After Situ Nan did not lift up, he continued to read the newspaper.

"My brother is in the United States. Can you meet him? ”

"Your brother?" Situ Nan remembered that Kuzdova seemed to be a nobleman of Tsarist Russia, who was defeated in the war, and after arriving in the United States, he did not land, and then ?????? I met Situ Nan.

For so many years, Situ Nan rarely paid attention to this woman, rarely asked about her, and only knew that this woman spent a lot of money in Europe every year to find his brother's whereabouts.

"Alright! Tell me about him. See how I can help. Situ Nan put down the newspaper and said.

Kuzdova's eyes lit up, and Situ Nan's attitude made her a little happy.

"My brother's name is Igor? Ivanovic? Sikorski, an aircraft engineer, once built airplanes for the country. Kuzdova said proudly.

"Igor? Ivanovic? Sikorski? Situ Nan felt that the name was somewhat familiar, and he was an aircraft engineer, could it be that guy?

Situ Nan thought with some excitement.

"What does he want to do?" Situ Nan asked directly.

"He's going to build airplanes, but those people won't fund him, and now he's teaching in schools." Speaking of this, Kuzdova stared at Situ Nan, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident.

Situ Nan thought for a moment and felt that he should meet that guy, after all, he was also Kuzdova's brother.

"Does he know anything about us?" Situ Nan asked again.

"Yes."

"And then?"

"He said he wanted to see you."

"For the plane or for you?"

"For me. But I want you to help him! ”

The next day, in the mansion on the banks of the Hudson River, Situ Nan met Kuzdova's brother, a tall, thin man, with snow-white skin, not quite the same wine-red blood-white skin as the usual British or Irish people in the United States, and looked as if he had come from the cold and snowy land of the north. In Kuzdova, Situ Nan has already experienced this kind of ice skin and jade skin.

"You're Stoney? William? Sikorski looked at the man sitting on the sofa in front of him, and surprise flashed in his gray eyes. He thought it was a fifty or sixty-year-old Mediterranean man with a big belly, but he didn't expect to be so young and a little handsome. ////( n)

He looked at Kuzdova on the side with some reproach, and did not tell himself the other party's information in advance. Kuzdova stuck out her tongue and looked at her brother's surprised expression, a little proud.

"Yes. Have a seat. Situ Nan smiled, motioned for Sikorski to sit down, and looked at him with a smile, looking confident.

Originally, Sikorski had a lot to say, but when he met Situ Nan's eyes that seemed to be able to read people's hearts, the words were suddenly gone at the very end, and he didn't know what to say.

Do you accuse each other of being mistresses? Well, it seems that their relationship was not normal from the beginning.

Want them to separate? It seems unlikely. Judging by the other party's demeanor, he should be the kind of big man who is very powerful, and he is just a small teacher, a person who broke his family and fled to the United States.

Sikorski didn't speak, and Situ Nan didn't speak, but he felt that the man in front of him had interesting eyes, some unwillingness, some anger, some helplessness, and some regret.

Kuzdova saw that the two most important men did not speak, looked at each other, the atmosphere was awkward, and she was a little nervous, for fear that they would have a conflict.

"Igor, don't you have some flying thoughts? Tell Stoney that he's influential in this business. Kuzdova smiled, stirring up the topic.

"yes. Kuva has said a lot about you, and I'm very interested in flying. Situ Nan smiled, "I heard that you used to build airplanes in the airplane?" ”

Hearing Situ Nan's question, Sikorski became interested. "Yes, I built a four-engine bomber, the first four-engine bomber in the world, and I flew it myself. It turned out to be a good result, and the acceptance of the army was passed. Later, I was involved in the design of several aircraft, but unfortunately, the country was at war and my family suffered misfortune. ”

Sikorski sighed with emotion, thinking that he almost died in the war, and now he is still afraid, especially now that the fierce civil war in Russia makes him see no hope of flying. After getting in touch with Kuva, without hesitation, he came to the United States, the birthplace of this aircraft.

"What about the development of aviation in Europe?" Situ Nan asked.

"It's bad. The Germans had good technology, but now they are severely curtailed, and the economy is not good. It is the same in France, where industrial production has been severely damaged and has not yet recovered.

The situation in the UK is a little better, but it is not developing as fast as the US. Dutchman Anthony? Fox's watch is good, he stole back the Fox aircraft technology from Germany.

In addition to being bombastic, Italians are not very good at moving. At present, only the United States has the best aircraft technology, especially the Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company in Los Angeles, which produced fighters and bombers in the war and were of good quality. It's just that in the past two years, I don't know how the development has been. ”

Sikorski said that he had a lot of knowledge about the aviation industry of the major countries, and when he praised the Cummins-Lincoln aircraft, Situ Nan couldn't help but smile slightly.

What an airplane obsession! Situ Nan praised in his heart.

"Am I not right?" Sikorski looked at Situ Nan with some dissatisfaction, thinking that this guy was laughing at him.

"No, it's all good." Situ Nan smiled, "What do you think of the Cummins-Lincoln F1 fighter?" Is there any possibility of continuing to upgrade? ”

"The performance of the F1 fighter is really good, I saw it when I was working in France. But in my opinion, it's not how good the design is, it's more that his engine is powerful, more powerful than the average engine horsepower, so it can get ahead in speed. However, two or three years have passed, and although the F1 aircraft is the main model of the US military, it will become obsolete in less than three or five years, but now that it is disarmed, and with the rapid technological progress now. ”

Sikorski was right-hearted, much to Situan's satisfaction. Basically, he could be sure that this Sikorski was the father of the helicopter that would become famous, a big man in the history of aircraft.

There is naturally no reason for such a talent to be too few, don't let it go if you meet it, not to mention that this is not a relative?

Situ Nan thought darkly.

"Mr. Sikorski, to tell you the truth, I am an investor in the Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company. Your watch just now made me think that you are a very talented designer.

If you wish, I can recommend you to Los Angeles to pursue a career in aircraft that you love. Situ Nan looked at Sikorski sincerely.

When Kuzdova heard this, her face was overjoyed, and she motioned for her brother to agree.

But Sikorski seems to have other plans. He was a little surprised and happy at first, and after a while, he calmed down again, and his expression was stern and serious.

He thought for a moment and said slowly: "It is indeed a very tempting opportunity, it is the dream of many designers to work in a large company like Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company, but unfortunately I just promised a few friends to cooperate in the operation of the aircraft company." ”

Sikorski said with a look of regret. There seemed to be a cold rejection in the faint tone.

Situ Nan felt that the other party didn't seem to be willing to admit his feelings, and smiled slightly, "That's fine." Talents like Mr. Sikorski will always be something we welcome. ”

Seeing that the time was not early, and remembering that he had made an appointment, Situ Nan apologized and went out in the car, leaving Kuzdova and Sikorsky in the room.

"Is it because of me? Because of me you don't want to owe him? Kuzdova asked.

"Yes and no. I do have a few like-minded friends who are willing to support my cause, but they are short of funds for the time being. Sikorski explained, looking at Kuzdova with some regret. The former daughter is now so cautious, which makes him feel a little self-blamed for failing to take care of his relatives.

"It's all my fault, if I had stayed at home, it wouldn't have been like this. At least you don't have to. Sikorski was annoyed.

"It can only be said that creation makes people!" Kuzdova sighed faintly, "You don't know, we thought you were ?????? After coming to the United States, I had no livelihood and had to ?????? In this way, I met him in a rich man's high-class salon, at least better than those old men. After following him, except for the emotional sparseness, everything else is fine. ”

Kuzdova's eyes were red, and she felt a little lucky when she thought of the unbearable experience of the Russian girls who came to the United States with him, and over time, she got used to the current state.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Are you really going to run an airplane company? Kuzdova asked seriously.

"There is this idea. Preparations are now underway. Hearing Kuzdova change the subject, Sikorsky felt relieved, and he really didn't know how to intervene in the entanglement between Situ Nan and Kuzdova.

"I still have some money, you can take it!" Kuzdova returned to the room and handed Sikorsky a passbook.

Sikorski opened it and looked, $500,000! I was taken aback. "How much?" He looked at Kuzdova in amazement.

"That's not much. If that's not enough, I'll mortgage the house. Kuzdova gritted her teeth.

"That's it! I can't ask for this money, you can keep it! Sikorsky stuffed the passbook to Kuzdova.

"If he sells this house, he won't scold you to death!" He was a little touched and a little funny.

"Huh. He didn't bother to pay attention to these things. It was nothing to him. Although I don't know exactly how big his business is, he rarely talks to me about it. I went out with him a few times, and the people he met were all top Wall Street people. As you heard just now, he is the boss of Cummins-Lincoln, and if you agree to go, you will have a bright future with your talent. Kuzdova said with some regret.

"Isn't it possible to make a career on my own with my talent?"

Sikorski was a little unconvinced.

"Yes. I'm sure so. However, there will be many twists and turns, there are many talented people, but not many people can achieve things in the end. Chance, luck is sometimes more important. Kuzdova vaguely admonished.

"Kuva, you've changed, you've become smart and mature. You wouldn't have thought of this before. Sikorski glanced at Kuzdova with a complicated look, but he didn't expect this sister, who seemed to be a little empty, to be so transparent in her heart.

"Huh." Kuzdova smiled, "Since you don't want to admit his affection, let this money be my share!" Anyway, I don't usually lack money to spend. ”

"Okay!" Sikorsky do not refuse. With this $500,000, it was enough for him to have a solid start in his aircraft business.

At noon, Situ Nan came back with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Things are going well, aren't they?" Kuzdova asked obediently, while gently waiting for Situ Nan to change his coat.

"Okay." Situ Nan replied and asked, "What about your brother?" How's the talk? ”

"He just left, back to school. He still wanted to do it himself, and I invested some money in him. Kuzdova said with a look on her face.

"That's fine." Situ Nan didn't care. This relieved Kuzdova, who was deeply afraid of revenge for going against the man's heart.

Situ Nan naturally won't bother with Sikorski, he is not so stingy. And in the U.S., it may not be too difficult to start a small company or a good medium-sized company, but it is not easy to become a real giant.

Wait until a few years later, when the American aviation industry is in the Great Depression, and then see how Sikorski can toss! I'll let him go for now. As for Kuva's investment, everyone is his, let alone the others?

Situ Nan glanced at Kuzdova, smiled mysteriously, and after returning to the room, he sorted out some important texts.

"Are you leaving again?" Kuzdova suddenly asked sensitively, her eyes full of reluctance.

"yes. I'm going back to Los Angeles. Situ Nan kissed Kuzdova.

"Oh!" A hint of gloom flashed in her coquettish eyes, and she said coquettishly, "Remember me, don't be like the last time you left people behind for two years, otherwise, I'll call you on the radio!" Hee-hee!"

"Dare to threaten me, see how I teach you."

"It's a threat to you! Hum. I'm going to make the whole world be—"

Before he finished speaking, he was pressed on the sofa by Situ Nan and ravaged with a whip.

After being slightly threatened by this "canary", Situ Nan felt the need to teach her a profound lesson, so his actions were particularly rough, which made Kuzdova, the initiator, painful and happy.

After a burst of catharsis, poor Kuzdova became a puddle of mud again, but a pair of charming eyes still looked at Situ Nan with watery eyes, and seemed a little dissatisfied?

She moved over again and groped around Situ Nan.

Depend on!

This goblin, who took the wrong medicine, is particularly enthusiastic at the moment.

Situ Nan didn't follow it, with the evil fire in his heart, again, again, again!

It's good to be young!

The ambition of the young man is not worried, and the romance still has to pay the price.

Situ Nan looked at Kuzdova, who had fainted, with great satisfaction, and enjoyed the sweet dream with a ruddy face, while he was on the side, his face was sallow, his eyes were dull, like a punctured tire constantly panting, exerting too much, his back was so sore that he didn't want to move.

"Ring-" The phone rang, Situ Nan moved to the side of the bed with difficulty, and with great difficulty picked up the microphone, he heard Robles' angry duty--"My God, I've already finished eighty-one strokes, why haven't you come yet?" ”

"Oh. Sorry, I just finished a round of golf, but I only played two holes, I'm tired now, I'll make an appointment next time! Situ Nan put down the phone, unplugged the phone cord casually, and fell asleep.

"Hey, hey, hey—" The blind sound in his ear made Robles a little dazed, and after a while, he understood a little, and smashed the phone in anger.

"Punch holes, punch holes, have the ability to penetrate the earth!" He scolded angrily.

"What's wrong?" A man of the same age came in with a club, looked at Robles' angry look, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's fine." Robles shook his head, he didn't think there was any need to be too angry, it wasn't worth it to bother with that guy!

He smiled and said, "Joseph, that guy has something to do, and he can't come today." ”

"Oh! It's a pity. "Joseph? Kennedy said with some regret.

"No regrets, see you tomorrow in the company!" Robles said, picking up the club and walking straight out.

"Joseph, how long have we not seen each other?" Robles swung hard and the golf ball flew off.

"Seven years, or eight years? I haven't seen you since 1913, when I graduated from Harvard. I didn't think you would have become a successful banker on Wall Street. Kennedy said with some envy and walked down the next hole as he talked to Robles.

"You're not bad. Inherited the family's bank, and married a mayor's daughter as a wife, I heard that there are still a few fat boys left? It's enviable. Robles laughed.
