Volume 1: A sound on Wall Street, Xinxiang City is busy copying books Chapter 277 Interactivity
Subtitle of this chapter: Men should focus on their careers
Miss Wei Mingzhu, who was too beautiful to be Mrs. Yuan, felt angry when she heard the name.
This Yuan guy is so annoying. It's not enough that he writes such wonderful novels, but he's also so famous. I hear his name everywhere I go. He's like a ghost that haunts me.
Is this going to allow people to survive?!
Wei Mingzhu originally wanted to go and see the high-tech product , but now she has lost interest. She said calmly: "Forget it today. I'm a little tired. I'm going back to the hotel to rest first."
As she spoke, she stood up, and the bananas around her immediately said in unison: "Pearl, I'll take you there..."
The rich young lady looked at the men around her who had fawning smiles on their faces, and finally picked the one she liked the most.
"Dick, thank you for your help."
Dick Lu's face flushed with excitement, and he suppressed his excitement and nodded...
"Aunt, you're back? I have something to tell you..."
Huang Huilan was hesitant to speak after meeting her aunt. In fact, her communication with Master Yuan today was not very pleasant, and it seemed as if the talks had broken down. However, after this meeting, she sincerely believed that this man was a good match for Wei Mingzhu.
Apart from other things, Yuan Yanshu's talent in literature was recognized even by famous American writers. It was just around the corner for him to become a great writer. Just based on this point, he was qualified to marry his aunt.
Besides, he is so handsome...
She wanted to persuade her aunt, but Wei Mingzhu didn't want to listen. She said impatiently: "Huilan, if it's about that Yuan, don't tell me..."
"That guy is so annoying!"
Of course, our Master Yuan knew nothing about this. He was more concerned about his grand plan than his beautiful wife. So he felt that although he didn't get his wife recently, he had made a lot of achievements in his career.
Men should focus on their careers.
On Monday, December 20, 1920, snow began to fall in New York City early in the morning.
Before nine o'clock, Yuan Yan drove to the Le Monde building next to Hyde Park with two secretaries in the snow. This ten-story building is not entirely the editorial office of Le Monde, and part of it is rented out. So Mr. Louis Baker set up the headquarters of NYPR here.
However, Yuan Yanshu guessed that it was possible that he wanted to find an opportunity to see Miss Emma Pulitzer more often.
"Louis, I haven't seen you for a few days. You've lost weight!" Yuan Yan glanced at Mr. Baker and sighed sincerely.
This guy is indeed thinner than before, but he also looks more mature. Men really should focus on their careers.
Louis smiled and said, "Neo, I'm really fine. Although I've been very busy recently, I'm living a very fulfilling life."
He said sincerely: "Thank you, Neo. Without you..."
Our Master Yuan interrupted him with a wave of his hand and said, "Hey, that's too formal. We are just friends. By the way, are all the people here ?"
Yuan Yanshu still had some self-awareness. In his previous life, he was just a bank clerk. Copying some books, talking nonsense and coming up with some ideas were no problem for him. But when it came to building a business from scratch in a foreign country, he did not have the confidence to compare with the resource-rich Mr. Baker.
Besides, NYPR is not his, legally or substantively. He is just a major shareholder, and an anonymous shareholder who holds shares through a shell company. If he really wants to fight for the management rights of this radio station, he will have to face the Wall Street tycoon. He can kill him with just a little finger. In this case, why bother himself?
Therefore, he has never been involved in NYPR's personnel and administration, but has handed it all over to his friends. In other words, he is more like a creative director or program planner.
"Well, everyone is here."
Mr. Baker led them into the office, where more than a dozen people were already sitting, including the impatient technical director Mr. Nikola Tesla and the excited news consultant Miss Emma Pulitzer. These people were all the employees of NYPR.
As the world's first commercial radio station, it is naturally not comparable to later generations. However, these people are really not few. You have to know that almost all amateur radio stations are hosted by one person these days. NYPR is now considered very professional.
Mr. Baker introduced these radio employees to Yuan Yanshu, but except for Mr. Tesla and Miss Pulitzer, the others did not take this yellow man seriously and just greeted him perfunctorily. They had heard that they had a boss from China, but they all regarded him as a simple investor.
After all, how could barbarians understand such a high-tech product as a radio station?
Our Master Yuan saw their reactions, but he was not angry. To gain respect from others, one must rely on one's own strength rather than status.
When this round of greetings was over, he walked up to the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, nice to meet you. You must be wondering why a yellow man is here. Is he going to advertise a Chinese restaurant or a laundry?"
This kind of self-deprecation made the people below laugh out loud and made the atmosphere a little more harmonious.
"Because I have only been to Chinese restaurants and laundromats, so as a layman in radio, I would like to ask you a question, what do you think is the biggest difference between radio and newspapers?"
Everyone else was silent after hearing this simple question, and finally it was Mr. Baker who gave his partner some face. She said, "Neo, I think the radio is more timely than the newspaper..."
Miss Pulitzer also chimed in: "It's even more convenient."
Master Yuan nodded to the two of them to express his gratitude, and then said solemnly: "Ms. Pulitzer and Mr. Baker said very well. Radio can indeed spread news more timely than newspapers, and it is indeed more convenient for listeners. But in addition to timeliness and convenience, I personally think there is another more important point, that is..."
“Interactive!”
Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment they really didn't understand what the old man meant.
To be honest, this is the biggest advantage of time travelers. It doesn't matter if they don't know the detailed process of history, can't make glass, flintlocks and atomic bombs, or can't copy novels. All they need is the ideas of later generations.
In 1920, people thought that radio stations could only read news and novels, play music and drama, and at most broadcast sports live. What else could they do?
But our Master Yuan said that in addition to this, radio stations can also produce a type of program that is more attractive to listeners. This type of program can not only attract listeners, but also go deep into their lives.
That is...
