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

As for General Electric, its biggest business is the manufacture of electrical appliances, such as lighting equipment, which Edison has laid down. It is difficult for other companies to easily surpass them in this regard.

Situ Nan still missed her home in Los Angeles."Hey! Honey, how are you?" Situ Nan called Laura.

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

"Of course. I will definitely rush back." Situ Nan vowed, and asked with some worry, "By the way, Nikolai's experiment did not disturb you, right?"

"No." Laura said excitedly, "My dear, I feel that this radio broadcast is going to be successful. Nicholas has tried it in our home and it works. It will officially start tomorrow."

"That's good! Don't be too tired, don't take care of the foundation affairs, pay attention to your body." Situ Nan nagged.

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

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

Before entering Robles Securities, Situ Nan couldn't help but glance at the opposite Merrill Lynch Securities. Many people came in and out, and the business seemed to be good.

Although it did not start as a robbers upstart speculation, Merrill Lynch has also developed one step at a time. At least in the booming twenties in the future, Merrill Lynch can also share a lot of results. After all, it The financial management has done well.

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

"What brought you up?" Robles asked with a smile.

"Talking and laughing, it looks like the company's recent performance is pretty good." Situ Nan smiled.

"It's okay! The recent turmoil, the economy is not good, but we have made a few speculations." Robes smiled and thought to himself, in addition to the strong strength of Robles Securities, there is also Moody's-Hui With the intelligence and data support of the reputation assessment company, those speculators who are ambitious and somewhat capable are naturally not opponents.

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

"If you can think like this, I can rest assured." Situ Nan nodded gratifiedly, "I am very optimistic about the US economy. I will encounter a rare opportunity in the future, so I plan to spin off some industries and invest in autos and steel. , Electrical, petroleum and other industries. You must be prepared for this."

Situ Nan exhorted.

"Don't worry! Now we have a lot of securities firms chasing after us, our financing strength is much stronger than before, so corporate financing is not a problem." Robles believes.

"By the way, I heard you are busy investing in movies recently?" Robes asked suddenly.

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

"There is a friend who works in a bank. He is interested in movies. He just came from Boston not long ago." Robles explained.

"Good vision. Are you familiar?" Situ Nan asked curiously.

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

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

After a while, Situ Nan asked again: "Nikola? Have you heard of Tesla's radio experiment?"

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

"Just know. You can help me pay attention to the American electrical companies, those companies that have technology but are not strong, especially in electronics. I want to acquire a few and integrate them into Cummins Electric." Situ Nan ordered. .

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

One day in August 1921, the sun rose slowly as usual, illuminating California warmly.

It was dawn early, and Hollywood had woken up since about five o'clock. Today's popularity is very early. Everyone looked expectantly at the tower on the top of Beverly Hill.

Below Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hotel, William University, Twentieth Century William Film Company, M Kee (Ma Debao) fast food restaurant, hotel, coffee shop, bookstore, gathered a large crowd of curious people, they stared at a plug-in box.It is said that you can receive the sound from the mountain.

They have been sent over from yesterday and installed in the most prominent places.These are all free, and many boss managers Meimei thought: If the broadcast is successfully launched, these clumsy-looking radios will probably bring more customers and the business will flourish.

The most exciting thing is the teachers and students of the College of Electrical Engineering at the University of William. They are in the lovely and respectable Nicholas?Under the leadership of Mr. Tesla, the first American radio station will be built in Hollywood.

They sat in the classroom, staring nervously at the box on the podium that they had participated in designing and building the radio.

And not far from the classroom, in a separate house, several technicians in white robes are making final adjustments to the machine.

They have been tested before, but in order to avoid being foolproof, they have to be patiently checked again.

President Stratton stood by, looking at the technicians who are skilled in debugging equipment, he was full of pride, because these people were all teachers and students of William University.

This beautiful and sophisticated broadcasting studio was designed by the students of the University of William after a lot of experiments. The surrounding walls are covered with attracting materials, and the expensive equipment is arranged in another room. Many of the equipment is In Nicholas?The Tesla laboratory design, produced by Cummins Electric in Long Beach, can be said to be the most advanced broadcasting system in the world.

This not only condenses the efforts of the teachers and students of the School of Electrical Engineering of the University of William, but also the broadcasting system carefully built by the William Foundation with millions of dollars.

So only succeed, not fail!

Step into the studio in the respect of everyone, Nikolai?Tesla walked in calmly, every step he made was so firm, every inch of his gaze was so confident, and every subtle movement expression affected everyone's hearts.

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

"Everything is fine. I have just contacted the top of the mountain, and the test above is no problem." Qi Lu replied with his chest straightened, looking at Nikolai with admiration?Tesla.

Look at this hardworking guy with pimples and a beard, Nicolas?Tesla nodded in satisfaction.

Although the little guy is less intelligent than me, he is diligent enough and learns things quickly. There is almost the effort of the guy who experimented with more than 1,000 materials to get the electric light.

Nikolai thought to himself.

When Qi Lu saw Nicola's eyes fixedly looking at him, it didn't seem to be the case, as if he was thinking about something, and was distracted.Oh my God, how can you be distracted at such an important moment?

He quickly reminded: "Mr. Tesla, the time is almost here, you can start!"

"Boom!" The wall clock rang suddenly, and it was nine o'clock.Let Nicholas refreshed.He walked to the microphone, turned on the switch, whispered softly, brewing to speak.

Stratton and others held their breath, waiting for the voice of human beings in the world to sound on the radio for the first time.

Nicholas?Tesla spoke up and said in his English with a Serbian accent: "Now it tells the hour on the hour, at nine o'clock in the U.S. West 8th District. What you heard was a broadcast from the University of William. I'm Nicholas? Sla. Now, I announce that Hollywood, William University, and William Star Radio have been established!"

Although Nikolai?Tes tried his best to speak up and down, and his voice was very excited, but he had to admit that it was this eloquence that was really not so good, and it was not a good voice in the United States. The voice came from more than 100 radios installed around Hollywood. Hollywood was getting excited, and many citizens who had been attracted from Los Angeles quickly rushed back to the city, rushing to tell, Nicolas?The news of Tesla's successful broadcast spread throughout Los Angeles.

Roar

It was the first time that human beings heard such a clear sound from the radio waves. Their hearts were shocked. Their thirst for information made them ecstatic. They instinctively felt that the box that could listen to distant sounds would change their lives.

Many radio enthusiasts are almost moved to cry. They can finally throw away the original awkward, low-power mineral radio, and no longer have to endure the torture of the vague noise.

"Yeah, yeah!" The University of William was boiling, cheers came from all corners, one after another, many people rushed out of the classroom and gathered around the radio station, looking at the seniors and teachers inside enviously.

The broadcast ignited the passion of these young students and made them truly feel that this is about to be a great era, and they are in it.

Fire, the desire for technology, and the pursuit of truth are planted in their hearts, which inspires the determination and confidence of people at the turn of the century to explore.

Nicholas?After reading a paragraph of the manuscript, Stella gave up her seat to the anxiously anticipated announcer, a boy who was good at debating and reading from the liberal arts college.
