The journey starts from the Titanic

Since the establishment of the radio station, he has established a star, more famous than Hollywood movie stars, because he is the announcer of the only radio station in the United States.

Now he has fallen in love with this job. Although it is a part-time job and only has a nominal salary, he thinks that this career has a lot to do, and it is much better than going to the newspaper to get the qualifications.

"What? Are you going to sell hamburgers here?" Jason looked at the Chinese man in surprise.

Why is it China?Because Japanese people rarely appear in the University of William, most of the yellow people at the University of William are Chinese. As for why, Jason didn't want to go into the details. He just heard that many Chinese businessmen donated money in the school.

Over time, he slowly got used to getting along with those Chinese classmates with yellow skin and black eyes.

"As long as you can spend 5 seconds a day, say a M burger, delicious and delicious, we can provide 10, oh no, 20 burgers for you every day. How about?" Ma Debao tried to make his smile become sincere Yes, it looks like a big bad wolf tempting children.

Jason looked at the face of the hamburger owner who was a bit cheap, and it felt like a round hamburger.Well, twenty burgers a day can almost solve the problem of eating for the amateur broadcasters on the radio station, which is also a kind of welfare.

Is twenty too few?Well, less is less, but this cooperation can open up the advertising market and attract more advertisers.

"Too little? Then add 5 more?" Ma Debao said tightly, "It's not easy for a small business!"

Damn, it's sold all over California, and it's a small business?What a damn profiteer!

Jason thought to himself that his liking for Ma Debao's average level immediately reduced to the realm of profiteers.

He is now the head of the radio station. Well, he is also an announcer. He has almost done two jobs, but he has no money.The other staff are also students or radio enthusiasts at William University.

The arrival of Ma Debao made Jason realize the value of radio. He glanced at a few classmates with joyful faces next to him, and he felt a little willing to agree, but he could not agree to Ma Debao immediately.

"Let me think about it. I have to ask the school for advice." Jason said.

Then he found the principal Stratton.

"Hamburger ad?" Stratton smiled when he knew Jason's purpose. "What do you think?"

"Combine science and technology with business, I think this is a useful attempt. If it succeeds, it will attract more advertisers." Jason analyzed.

"Well. It makes sense. But this is only a temporary practice, I can agree. This radio station, the school has some shares, but the main ones are Cummins and the William Foundation. Do you know what I mean?" Stratton reminded Tao.

Whether it is Cummins Electric Company or the William Foundation, investing so much money to build a radio station will definitely pay off.

Now Jason accepts the hamburger advertising business. Although it is small, it must be clear that the business involving radio stations must take into account the attitude of the Foundation and Cummins Electric.

"Yes. I understand. I think this is what they expected, right?" Jason smiled, and suddenly figured out the key.

"Mike, do you know? Cummins Electric Company is building a commercial radio station. They are working on it. I want to hear your opinion." Stratton looked at Mike with a smile?Jason, Xindao, what a smart young man!

"My opinion?" Jason asked.

"Yes. From the preparation of the radio station to the current operation, you have participated in it and become a celebrity in our school. It would be better if you could use this as your graduation thesis.

Stratton pointed.

"Good idea." Jason's eyes lit up and he looked at Stratton with some surprises, but soon said a little dimly, "But I majored in literature! Will I graduate with a business thesis..."

"It's okay. As long as you write a constructive paper, I don't think the professors will criticize you." Stratton assured.

Jason nodded, feeling the principal's love.

He intends to predict the commercialization of broadcasting in the future by practicing this advertising business.He replied to Ma Decai, willing to accept the first radio advertisement in human history.

At the same time, I contacted several students from the business school to study the topic of predicting the commercialization of broadcasting.

"It's really interesting! The old carpenter is really caring! Well done!" Situ Nan has been paying attention to the radio station. By accident, he also learned of the hamburger advertisement and Jason's research on radio commercialization.

"Mr. Stratton? Yes, I'm Stoneny? William. Those young people are not bad. If they are interested, please participate in Cummins Broadcasting Company." Situ Nan called the principal's office.

"Mr. William, besides them, all the students majoring in electromechanics participated in the construction of the radio station, so I think they are also the talents that Cummins Electric Company needs, are you right?" Stratton said.

"Yes."

"There are also Petroleum College, Mechanical College, Business School..."

"Yes, it's okay! I guarantee that they will all be invited, as long as they want, Cummins, West, Bethlehem will welcome them." Situ Nan agreed.I thought, after investing so much money in the University of William, it will finally bear fruit.

When Jason walked into the principal's office again, a bigger surprise was waiting for the graduate who had just passed the thesis defense with excellent results.

"Your paper is well written, very insightful, and very good predictions. But more needs to be practiced, right?" Stratton smiled to Jason.

"Yes." Jason said honestly, waiting for the principal's reply.

"Now there is a chance, I want to recommend you to work for the broadcast company." Stratton said.

"Of course, I would." Jason smiled, "I will be an excellent broadcaster."

He feels that his hard work these days has not been in vain. He will graduate as the first batch of graduates of William University in two months. If he can work in the radio station, he will naturally want it. He has always been looking forward to it.

"No, you still don't understand what I mean. It's a broadcasting company, not a radio station." Stratton said, "Not only a broadcaster, but also involved in the preparation of the broadcasting company and managing the broadcasting company. You, and yours team."

"Sir, this surprised me." Jason looked at Stratton with some surprise, and slowly remembered that this approachable old man could build William University in a few years, and he was also an amazing man.Well, this is often overlooked by students.

"In this regard, there are no professional talents for the time being, everyone is groping, and I think you are the best, the future broadcast media person in the United States."

Stratton looked at Mike encouragingly?Jason, "This is a good opportunity, take it!"

After so many years of hard work, traveling from New York to Los Angeles to run a school, Stratton has a strong ambition in his heart. To build the best university, it is necessary to cultivate a group of outstanding talents to gain the reputation of William University.

For Jason these first batch of graduates, he naturally cared for them.

"thanks, thanks."

Mike?Jason bowed respectfully to Stratton and left the principal's office hesitantly.Under Stratton's recommendation, he will soon be the producer of Cummins Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of Cummins Electric Company.

In addition to the lucky guy Jason, other graduates of William University who participated in radio preparation also entered the broadcast company.

Newspapers in San Francisco and Los Angeles published job advertisements for broadcasting companies and Cummins Electric, which aroused the interest of many radio enthusiasts, who could not wait to devote themselves to the emerging business of wireless broadcasting.

It was impossible for early radio stations to make any money, but it was worth the investment of Cummins Electric, even at a loss.

In Nicholas?Soon after Tesla's success on Hollywood radio, Westinghouse Electric also established a radio station-KDKA in Pittsburgh.

Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed.A talented scientist Nicolas?The wireless broadcasting whirlwind that Tesla blew across the United States suddenly, and large cities such as New York, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, and Washington have also built wireless broadcasting stations.

Happy Americans can listen to all kinds of information from the radio at once without having to stare at the newspaper. An era of information explosion is about to unfold for them.

The competition in commercial broadcasting has become more intense, just like the original Gilded Age.

Chapter 19 Kavat and Skye

Cummins Broadcasting Company and the Los Angeles Times Newspaper Group have jointly invested US$5 million to establish 80 radio stations in major cities in western regions such as California, Texas, Colorado, Utah, and Washington in the next five years.
