The journey starts from the Titanic

The salespersons of these high-end boutiques have good eyesight. Situ Nan and He Xiangu's clothes do not recognize ordinary people at a glance, and there are several big men in suits behind them. Are they not bodyguards?

Fortunately, nothing embarrassing happened, so shopping was very enjoyable. Soon Situ Nan's arms were covered with bags.

What clothes, jewellery, etc., were all hung on Situ Nan's body. Originally, he wanted to show his gentlemanly demeanor, but he underestimated He Xiangu's desire to buy.

Carrying a heavy bag, Situ Nan looked miserable, making the bodyguards behind him uncontrollable.

"I can't stand it!" Situ Nan wisely stopped trying, pulling the bag on her body and putting it on the ground, followed by several sales ladies around her, hooked her fingers, and smiled: "Help, everyone will send it later. You have a bottle of perfume."

After buying a few "good-hearted" sales ladies, Situ Nan relaxed and walked with He Xiangu in a leisurely manner. Seeing that He Xiangu was interested in something, he immediately bought it without discussing it at all, let alone bargain.

He just wants to get out of shopping. What makes it painful is that they walked into the world's largest department store-the newly completed Macy's flagship store in New York.

From the first floor to the eighth floor, you can stroll all the way to the eighth floor. There are all kinds of goods. Looking at the shelves that can't go to the end, Situ Nan secretly complained.

"Little girl, you never want me to buy this department store, do you?" Situ Nan said with a face.His words made the several enthusiastic salespersons beside him uncontrollable, and while He Xiangu didn't pay attention, they kept discharging Situ Nan.

"Why not? If you have a department store at home, you can buy a lot of things every time, that would be great!" He Xiangu said with his head tilted.

"Okay! Let me think about it." Situ Nan had an idea, and thought: I don't know how the development of the first department stores is?After all, the domestic situation is small, and if there is a chance, it should enter the US department store market.

After thinking about it, Situ Nan shook his head again, forget it, let's reinvest in department stores in the United States!After all, Coolidge's prosperity is mainly reflected in the developed productivity, specifically, the department store is full of various commodities.

"Miss, can you take me to see electrical products?" Situ Nan asked, and stopped a somewhat jerky saleswoman. It is estimated that she hasn't been here for long.

"Ok."

Situ Nan, who is serious, is particularly attractive and is full of interest in every product. He nods his head while thinking about something.

Of course, in the electrical counters, the department store still sounds "simple" to Situ Nan. It is not like a hundred years later, if you walk into a shopping mall, you will see glittering TV sets or other shiny goods, especially Those screens on the wall make people dizzy.

"How about this Cummins radio? Would it be more expensive for fifteen dollars?" Situ Nan asked with a smile on the box-sized radio in front of him.

"This is the best brand currently sold. It is produced by Cummins Electric, the largest electronics manufacturer in the United States. The world's first wireless radio station was built by Cummins Electric. Therefore, their strength is strong and the radios they produce are also the best on the market. Good one."

The salesperson's words made Situ Nan very happy, not only because the other party's advertising words were good, but also because of the joy in my heart and a sense of accomplishment.

In addition to Los Angeles, Cummins Electric also has a factory in Buffalo, New York. Last year, it produced 100,000 radios. This year's production will expand tenfold to 1 million units per year.

In addition to Cummins, he also found that Seibu and several other brands of radios, in detail, there are at least ten brands.

This is still a formal big shopping mall. If it is a copycat factory outside, there are probably more radios.

Just when Situ Nan was playing with the radio at Macy's, a whirlwind suddenly blew in from outside.

"Quickly, turn on the radio. The White House is holding a state banquet. Broadcasting companies across the United States are broadcasting on the Internet, preparing to send the broadcast to the Atlantic Ocean! From New York to San Francisco to London..."

A staff member rushed over to quickly debug the radio...

Chapter 192 Global Broadcasting

Broadcast test?interesting!

Situ Nan smiled slightly and turned the buttons quantitatively. Accompanied by the squeaking electric sound, an exciting voice came out on the radio after a short while-"This is the White House in Washington, and this is the President of the United States Karl Coolidge. Now proceed with an item. Great experiment, from Washington on the east coast to San Francisco on the west coast. I hope the citizens of San Francisco will hear my voice.

There are also two overseas countries participating in this global wireless broadcast experiment, namely London on the other side of the Atlantic and Xintangshan on the other side of the Pacific.

I hope the citizens of London, the citizens of New Tangshan, you can hear my voice. This is a blessing from the United States."...

Coolidge's voice was short and lacking in literary talent, but there were bursts of applause in the mall.

Whoops-People cheered for hearing the voice from the White House. This is not the first time that Americans have heard the president's voice on the radio, but their enthusiasm is still high and inspired by the development of communication technology.

The state banquet at the White House is being broadcast live on the radio. The dressing of the guests, the speeches of politicians, and the expressions of people's faces are all reported in detail by the host and spread all over the world.

Cummins Broadcasting Co., Ltd. planned this broadcast. They joined 6 American broadcasters to participate in this operation. A total of more than 150 radio stations broadcast the White House state banquet and sent information to more than 1 million radios.

This is a beautiful job!This is a new wave of commercialization of wireless broadcasting!

Situ Nan praised in his heart that it can be expected that under the influence of this, American radio stations will spring up like mushrooms after a rain, and more and more radios will enter ordinary families, and people's lives will change from then on.

"Will London listen to American radio?" He Xiangu asked Situ Nan, her face a little confused, as if she felt a little weird.

The same expression appeared on the faces of the people around them. They didn't doubt that the broadcast would reach San Francisco, but they were less confident about going to London across the ocean.

"of course!"

Situ Nan believes that even humans can fly across the Atlantic Ocean. Why can't broadcasting?

As early as the Marconi radio experiment, radio waves spread across the Atlantic Ocean, and now it is just a widespread application of this technology.

"I think so too!" He Xiangu nodded, being infected by Situ Nan's confidence.

"Awesome!" she clenched her small fist in praise, and asked Situ Nan, "then Nanhua? How about 16,000 kilometers from Nanyang to the west coast of the United States?"

"No problem. For radio waves, it's just a little distance."

Situ Nan held He Xiangu’s small fist, patted his chest, and explained, “Washington’s broadcast will be transmitted to San Francisco and then to Hawaii, through the Hawaii transit station and then to the east. We will install launching stations on the islands that are lingering. Signal, master, I’m paying a lot of money."

Tokyo participated in the original test plan, but after the earthquake in Japan, the Tokyo test was cancelled and replaced with the southern Chinese capital Xin Tangshan.

This plan was strongly requested by Situ Nan later.Cummins Broadcasting Company has a radio station in Hawaii, which is currently the only radio station. In order to transmit the signal to South China, Situ Nan sponsored an additional $100,000 to build high-power transmitting stations on Hawaii, Midway and other islands along the way, which is cheap to the US government. Up.

"Great radio! I want to buy it!"

Situ Nan patted the Cummins radio with satisfaction, and the wooden casing made a clear sound. In Situ Nan's opinion, this guy was a bit bulky, but it was a good product.

Coming out of the radio area, Situ Nan visited other electrical appliances.In addition to radios, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, and refrigerators are also popular products. These are all related to family life, and machines are used instead of manpower.

The popularization of electrical appliances has greatly reduced the labor burden of women. American women are increasingly going out of the house, participating in work, and participating in social affairs.

Looking at the electrical appliances in the mall, Situ Nan found that Cummins Electric did the best in the radio market, followed by Westinghouse Electric. In the lighting market, General Electric took the lead. After all, its predecessor was Edison Electric.

In addition, in terms of refrigerators and washing machines, the advantages of the two giants, Westinghouse and General Electric, on Cummins Electric are not very obvious, and Cummins Electric can work on these aspects.

Situ Nan thought in his heart, with an idea in his heart, this accidental investigation gave him a lot of inspiration.

Going back to the counter to check out, good guy, He Xiangu really bought a lot of goods, a long list, with several pages, hundreds of them.

If you want to transport it away, you only need to load a few trucks.

Situ Nan glanced at He Xiangu, his eyes seemed to be asking."Are these things needed?"

In fact, they don't lack those things at all.

He Xiangu was a little embarrassed, and she had a small chest, and reminded: "You bought all the electrical appliances in the back."

"Ok!"
