Chapter 154: Radio Station
Yes, the students have become teachers. ”
Queenie looked at Jia Yi with a smile, she hadn't seen her for a few years, and the child, who looked a little young at the beginning, now looked like a mature young man, and now she has become famous throughout Moshacher.
Jia Yi excitedly patted Queenie's shoulder and said in a long nasal voice: "No~Value~One~Mention~, I also taught students when I was at Longgen Academy, it was still formal at that time." Did you hear the question clearly? Will you change it?"
"You ghost, I came so far to see you, and you actually gave me a question? You have a good life in Moshacher, even outside, I heard that you have made a lot of waves, the Three Views Breaker, this is a good name. ”
"This, it's completely slanderous, Laurent's death can't be said to have nothing to do with me, but it doesn't have much to do with it, it's purely that he is not able to resist pressure enough. How did you know I was here?"
Kaichi said as he took Queenie outside, and as for the students, let them wait for the end of class by themselves.
Queenie said: "I have heard a long time ago that you have been suspended in the academy, and the principal Frittes is preaching everywhere, so I came to ask you for your specific address now, but I didn't expect him to say that you are in the academy, so I came over." I heard that the Supreme Council is going to build a broadcasting tower, do you know what's going on?"
Jia nodded: "I know this, Fesenden was introduced to His Excellency Magnay, and now His Excellency Wilmot is in charge, I will take you to take a look, and I will also see how they are built now." ”
He took Queenie to Baker Street, also known as the Council District, because it was here that the Supreme Council was built. There are many tall towers in the buildings, but not all of them are mage towers, only a few are, and the rest are tower-style office areas.
On top of a tall tower on the periphery, a thick antenna is erected at the top, which looks like a long flagpole. In order to travel farther, the council chose low-frequency electromagnetic waves with ultra-long wavelengths, which required longer antennas, and the current version is only a trial version, and if it works well, the council is ready to build a real broadcasting tower on the top of a nearby hill, on which antennas can be erected to send broadcasts to farther places.
Took Queenie into the tower under the antenna, Fessenden was guiding the installation of the radio inside, and there was Wilmot next to him, seeing Jiayi, Fresenden hurriedly came over to say hello.
"Jiayi, you haven't been here for a long time, how did you remember to come here today. ”
Fresenden now spends all his energy on the radio tower, his talent is not bad, but if you compare it to Jia Yi Queenie, it is far worse, so he is willing to spend time on the radio tower.
Kaichi saluted Wilmot and said, "I'll come over to see how you're doing, and bring a friend over to take a look, it looks like the radio station should be up and running soon, right?"
"Program?" said Fresenden, who had been planning how to build the radio tower—though it was only an improvement on the existing building—had never thought about the program, "Didn't you say that this could replace the telegraph?
"That's a little too simple, isn't it? And the public channel of the telegraph only has a little time in the evening, you don't want to broadcast it all day, do you? The radio is all day, even late at night, and you can't broadcast the news all day and night, it's too boring. Also, do you have any listening devices for the radio on the market?"
Fresenden was stunned again: "Do you still need us to sell this?" I have made the structure of the answering circle public in my paper, as long as you pay a little authorization fee, each mage can make a set by himself, which is not very difficult. ”
Jia Yi looked at Fesenden a little helplessly, and then looked at Wilmot: "You don't just build a radio station all the time, and you don't have anything else to prepare, right? You haven't even built a radio station now, and you don't have a program to listen to, why should others make a listening device? If you don't prepare now, don't be a tragedy when your radio station is built but no one listens." ”
Wilmot and Fresenden were stunned, neither of them was good at business, and the radio station was mainly for publicity, and they didn't think about the program and promotion at all.
But Wilmot's mind turned quickly, and he immediately thought of something: "You're right, but even if the listening equipment is made now, no one else will necessarily buy it, right? ”
Jia nodded: "Yes, this is a problem anyway, so we want to publicize it, we can first publicize it in the public channel of Telegram, and there are newspapers, so that people know what the radio is for and how to listen to it." And we can't always call it an answering device, it sounds too boring, how about a name, call it a radio?"
"Okay, let's just call this okay, let's talk about what to do next, won't it just be publicity?"
Wilmot didn't care what the listening device was called, the so-called radio was a translated meaning, and a root word was added to the word radio, and the lingua franca was so profound that everyone could understand it. Fresenden wanted to name it himself, but Wilmot agreed, and he had to agree.
"Propaganda is the first step, then the program, the public channel in the telegraph era is naturally limited, it is inconvenient for everyone to listen, the channel time is not short, but the information transmitted is not much, now with radio, the scale of news information can be expanded, there can be a wave of news at noon and evening, and even in the morning, but the rest of the time, of course, can not also broadcast news, too much news will be boring, and there is not so much news, you can broadcast some entertainment programs, good music, song and dance dramas, and even develop radio dramas, you can not watch but you can focus on listening, you can also read books on it for people to listen, especially, it is very suitable for radio broadcasting。 At that time, as long as the broadcast will be able to quickly get the audience of Dalian work orders, then you can advertise in the radio and get profits, just like a newspaper.
"The ideas of radio and newspapers are actually similar, but because the carriers are different, there are some differences in business strategies. ”
Jia Yiyi said a lot in a row, Wilmot they need a little time to think, because it is unique, even if there are various imperfections in the early stage, there will definitely be people listening, and when the time comes, it will be able to develop slowly while doing it.
However, the speed of development is too slow, and it is not conducive to sticking to users in the early stage, and it is not conducive to the development of radio stations and radios.
Wilmot said, "You are indeed much better at thinking than we are, no wonder you can hold up a chamber of commerce at a young age." But we don't care about profits, we can still afford this money. ”
"This kind of thinking is really unacceptable, when the magazine can't make money, the magazine is operating at a loss, relying on the subsidies of various societies, which is not much development, and the circulation is not a single issue. It was only after the advent of cheap and high-quality paper that there was a great development, and then there were newspapers, and after the advent of advertising, newspapers became ubiquitous, and almost every city had its own newspaper. If you can't make money, you can't have such a rich newspaper. It's the same with broadcasting, if you want to have better development, you must be able to make a profit.
"Of course, in the early stage, you can not pursue profits, but gather users first, and it will be convenient to make profits after there are more users. ”
Queenie said on the side: "I know this, it is easy to sell ads if there are more users, but you don't have too many ads, now some newspapers are full of ads, and there are very few things that have really been useful, just a few reports inserted into the advertisement." ”
"Hahaha, we'll definitely pay attention to this. Wilmot said with a smile.
At this time, newspaper publishing was not subject to too many restrictions, as long as you have money and equipment, you can run a newspaper, so many newspapers are getting worse and worse, and even all of them are all kinds of inferior advertisements and small yellow texts, of course, this kind of newspaper is difficult to grow, but it is also very nourishing, and the demand is always there.
Fessenden said on the side: "Jiayi, why don't you help us come up with an idea, what programs are we going to prepare?"
Wilmot also agreed with this suggestion, and Jia Yi couldn't shirk it, so he said: "A simple thing is news, summarize the highland news in the daily newspaper, pick out the most important ones, and find a person with a good voice and clear speech to read it to everyone." Be sure to set a fixed time and a fixed amount of time every day to cultivate the habit of the audience. You can also make an abstract of a paper and read the abstract of the most influential paper on the radio. Next, you can find a few gramophone, record a few classic music for playback, at this time our program is definitely not perfect, and you can play the music in the gramophone stone through the radio in your free time. You wrote a book before, and the response is pretty good, and you can read it on the radio in your free time in the evening, and some people will like it. ”
At that time, he copied a copy of the Lord of the Rings to attract popularity to the freshman college newspaper, and now, he can use it again.
Wilmot was very satisfied with Jiayi's plan, although it was only a brief statement, but he gave a good idea: "Yes, yes, these suggestions of yours are very good, I will let people prepare." ”
Jia Yi reminded: "Don't forget the radio, you can find the academy to cooperate, or you can find my Valoka Chamber of Commerce to cooperate, let them help make and sell the radio, our Chamber of Commerce can give you a preferential price, when the radio is broadcast, no one will listen." ”
