Chapter 293: Formal Invitation

Matthew went to open the door, and standing outside the door was the waiter, who brought up a large plate of wine and food, and placed it on the coffee table in the living room.

After serving the drinks and refreshments, he came again, put the box on the tray on the coffee table, and said, "This is what the guests who stayed at the hotel this morning asked to pass it on to you, please take it." With that, he withdrew with the plate.

The four of them impatiently opened the box.

"Wow! Something glamorous. The four of them sighed together.

Inside the box was a square, glittering matte metal body.

"I see, this device for Mr. Dingbang to communicate with us." Andy was the first to guess the riddle, he took out the metal body, looked it up and down, pulled the support frame down, put it on the coffee table, and pressed the button marked "Start", and the square screen of the metal body quickly lit up.

The back of a man sitting in a chair appears on the screen. He quickly turned around and greeted everyone happily in Kalwa: "Hello, welcome to my party in Lower James Bang." ”

Feeling her heart jumping, she leaned in front of the screen and greeted the screen excitedly: "Hello Mr. Bond, my name is Cinny Chels, can you give me a short interview?" ”

The masked man on the screen frowned: "Let's talk about this question later, Miss Cinny, the camera for the interactive dialogue is directly above the monitor, and I remind you that you can get the best camera effect at a distance of 1 sub-distance from the monitor, I suggest you step back a little and sit on the sofa to look more natural, just like me." ”

Everyone hurriedly returned to the sofa and adjusted the angle with the camera.

"yes, it looks a lot more natural now." Mr. Bond approvingly.

"Mr. Bang, please forgive me for being blunt, and what is the purpose of your invitation to us today?" Andy asked.

"Frank young man, I was just curious when I occasionally looked out of the window of the hotel and saw one of the experiments you were doing. Speaking of which, I would like to ask you to introduce yourself. Mr. Bond said.

"My name is Andy Dorrent, I work in a guide shop, I am a technician, and I just graduated from Kasley Business School with a degree in guide maintenance."

"Professionally educated guide technicians, very good, what about the others?"

"My name is Matthew Green, I'm Andy's classmate, and we were all there on the night of the election, and I think you created something very special, so we formed this experimental group to replicate the technology."

"My name is Sinny Chels, and I'm a reporter for Kasley Newsletter, and I joined them because I saw the fun of their experiments, and I think this format can open up a whole new way of journalism, and bring the news scene directly to the public, which is very beneficial for monitoring and exposing the bad phenomena in society."

"My name is Oliver Jackkinson, I just graduated from the History Department of the National University of the Republic and I haven't found a job yet. From a historical point of view, I think that you have created an event that can be recorded in history, and if you magnify this form, you can create many possibilities, and there is no doubt that it will promote the whole society. ”

"It's good, everybody has a different idea, and even though it's just a budding idea now, it can grow into a big tree in the future. Do you know how to do that? ”

The four of them shook their heads together, and Andy said timidly, "If you can share your technology with us, I think you will be able to do it soon." ”

A slight laugh was heard on the screen. "It's just a simple close-up video technology, it's nothing, but now it's possible to cover the entire city, and even transmit it to all parts of the mainland, so that the same program can be watched in different countries. If you have any of you, have you seen the "Manifesto of the Guiding Network" issued by the Epstein Foundation and Chase Central Workshop in 1190? 'The world is like a village, and information spreads to every corner of the continent in the blink of an eye'. ”

"I read the manifesto you mentioned in the school library, but it's just a prospective outline, and we really don't know how far it has progressed." Oliver said.

"Yes, there is finally one who has read it, so I will tell you now that 7 years have passed since the "Manifesto on the Guiding Network", and the research and development of this technology has entered a mature period, and in another three years, it will enter the application period. Achieving continent-wide information delivery is no longer the work of science fiction writers, but will become a reality. I invite you to come because I see your imagination and the spirit of entertaining the masses, and I want to invite you to participate in a huge business plan. Mr. Bond said solemnly.

"What kind of plan is that?" Cinny asked first.

"This square detractor that has a dialogue between us is called a viewer, and it can be used to receive information about images and sounds, just as our current dialogue shows, the images it receives are continuous, integrated with the sound, and this kind of thing has been tried to be mass-produced on the mainland. Let's assume that every household has one such viewer, so what we have to do is to provide these people with viewers to watch and enjoy the content, and become a content provider, this plan is called the Continental Guide Network Project. Can you understand? ”

"Is it to set up a professional organization to produce and broadcast a visual program, similar to a radio station?" Cinny said.

Mr. Bond nodded, "It can be understood that Miss Cinny is worthy of being a member of the media. ”

"So, that means it's technically mature? From recording programs to launching programs, as well as the means of watching programs. Andy asked.

"Basically, it can be said that this project is a combination of the latest technology from the Epstein Foundation and Chase Central Workshop."

"Well, the biggest obstacle is funding." Andy groaned.

"Although the funds are not particularly abundant, there are plans and preparations." Mr. Bond replied.

"So what is missing? We can call on many people right now to do it. Andy said excitedly.

"Lack of a strong executive team, and find a profitable model, you know, the capital required to set up a guide station is much larger than that of a radio station, and if you want to enrich the program, the production cost is also expensive, if you can't make a profit, you will have to go out of business after a year."

How to make money, this is difficult for this group of young people who rely on their enthusiasm to do experiments.
