s: Please vote for a 6000-word chapter April 8, 1916, 2757 AD, Guangzhou Electrical Appliances Mall.
Guangzhou Electrical Appliances Mall is the largest and most comprehensive electrical appliances mall in South China.
It has a wide range of products, from relatively simple light bulbs, flashlights, electric scissors, electric fans, and telephones to more complex radio stations, radios, and record players. , tape recorders, washing machines, refrigerators, air conditioners, etc., everything available on the market in various specifications and models.
However, the business in this mall is at two extremes.
The counters where people buy light bulbs, radios, electric fans and other small appliances are crowded with people.
There is an endless stream of customers, and business is very good.
However, the counter of the large electrical appliances was deserted.
There were many onlookers, but not many people actually spent money to buy.
This is because China has only just emerged from hunger and cold for a few years, and the good times for everyone have not yet passed.
Although everyone's income is much higher than before and life is much better, most people are still reluctant to spend on high-value appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners.
At present, most of these large electrical appliances are sold abroad.
Most of the domestic users are various military and political agencies, enterprises, institutions and social groups, and there are still quite few individual users.
But something was different today.
The usually deserted electrical appliances area was now crowded with people, and the large sales area was almost filled with onlookers.
"Ah, it's so amazing, it's just like the movie."
"This is called a theater box.
Haha, you can also watch a play inside."
"What theater box is this called a TV set?"
"With this thing, you don't have to go to the cinema to watch a movie.
You can watch it at home."
"I think it's still not as good as a movie.
This thing is just a convenience.
As for the audio and video effects, how can it be compared with the big screen of a movie?"
"This thing is good, but it's too expensive.
The cheapest 36cm black and white TV costs 300 yuan.
The largest 72cm color TV costs 1,460 yuan."
"If you want to buy a TV, it's best to have a tape player so you can watch movies."
"Tape recorder, you see, that thing is not that expensive, only 200 yuan, but it is useless just by itself, it has to be paired with a TV."
The onlookers watched vigorously and discussed enthusiastically.
The scene was very heated.
Yes, today is the first day that a new product like a TV will be put on sale to the public, and it will be sold simultaneously globally.
TV sets from all over the world will be on the market today.
The television is truly a killer weapon for the media, and it firmly attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared on the scene.
The electrical appliance shopping mall was surrounded by onlookers from three floors inside and three floors outside.
They were surrounded tightly and there was no way to get through.
At this time, several strong young men protected a big fat man and pushed their way into the crowd.
They separated the crowd and shouted at the same time.
"Excuse me, please give me a moment."
"Here comes the people who want to buy a TV.
If you don't want to buy it, please let me go."
It took them ten minutes and a lot of effort to squeeze in front of the display stand.
By this time, the big fat man was already sweating profusely.
The onlookers were standing outside the railings.
The display stand inside the railings was quite empty, with only a dozen customers choosing.
Fatty Shen took out a hand towel and wiped his sweat while complaining: "Oh, this is more tiring than fighting.

So many people just don't want to buy it, it's true."
At this time, a voice from the side came: "Hey, Boss Shen, are you here to buy a TV too?"
Fatty Shen turned around and saw that the person greeting him was an acquaintance in the business world, Boss Li of Ping An Shipping Company.
This guy used to just do some offshore shipping, basically wandering around the country, at most going to Indonesia, Singapore and other places in Southeast Asia.
But starting from the year before last, with the spring breeze of the European War, this guy's business began to expand rapidly, and he made a fortune in the past two years.
"Hey, isn't this Boss Li?
You've already bought it."
Fatty Shen took a sideways look and found that this guy's TV had already been bought.
Several porters were following him pushing a small cart with a TV on it.
A large cardboard box with several smaller cardboard boxes on top.
"Hahahaha, of course I have bought it.
I am a regular customer here.
If there are any new appliances on the market, I will rush over to buy them as soon as possible.
Haha, this is what I like."
Boss Li smiled pretending to be reserved and pointed at the car.
Said: "This time I bought this, a 72cm large color TV, a matching video player and twenty video tapes."
"How about this thing?
There are so many models, which one is better?"
Shen Minlong asked smoothly.
Boss Li introduced in an expert tone: "If you want to buy it, buy my largest color TV.
The big screen one looks enjoyable, and color looks much more comfortable than black and white.
Like 36 cm and 40 cm They are all too small, and they are tiring to the eyes.
Of course, the bigger ones are a little more expensive, but you, Boss Shen, should have enough money, hahaha."
When the other party said this, Shen Minlong just went down the slope: "You're right, we think so too, if you want to buy it, it's the best."
After saying that, he said to the shopping guide girl next to him: "Girl, how much does this set cost?"
Seeing the arrival of a big customer, the shopping guide girl immediately enthusiastically introduced: "Sir, this Changhong brand 72cm color TV is 1,460 yuan.
It comes with a dust cover, protective glasses and a screen cleaning kit.
The unit price of the tape recorder is 200 yuan.
Machine cleaning tapes are included, program tapes are RMB 8 per box, and blank tapes are RMB 3 per box.”
"Okay, just do what he does when you buy and buy, and give me a set too."
Shen Wenlong waved his hand boldly.
The total is less than 1,800 yuan, it's a piece of cake.
Soon he remembered something and asked: "Do you have any other recommendations?"
"Yes, if you buy such a large color TV and VCR, it would be better to match it with home theater equipment, and the effect will be even better."
The shopping guide immediately led Shen Wenlong to the display stand on the other side.
"You see, this is home theater equipment.
It consists of two systems: a multi-channel power amplifier and a stereo speaker set.
It can be used when connected to a TV and a tape recorder.
In this way, you can get something close to the cinema at home.
Effect."
The shopping guide introduced enthusiastically.
"In addition, if you like to sing, you can also add an unaccompanied band system, which is the karaoke of the original time and space and later generations.
It consists of a microphone, amplifier, eight-track player, and a song-demand controller.
Just use the special song tape, which is very convenient.”
With that said, the shopping guide put in a cassette of songs and began to teach on the spot, singing a song along with the music.

Shen Wenlong smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand boldly: "Okay, okay, I also like to sing, buy, buy, buy."
At this time, Boss Li who came over said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, girl, why didn't you tell me about this good thing just now?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, sir, you didn't ask just now.
Do you want this too?"
the shopping guide apologized quickly.
"Of course, Boss Shen has bought them all.
How can I lag behind?
Why don't you give me a set of this home theater and that unaccompanied band system?"
Boss Li said and gave Fatty Shen a sideways look and smiled.
Said: "Boss Shen, your singing voice is not very good."
Fatty Shen also glanced at him sideways and said slowly: "I don't think he is much worse than you, Boss Li."
Boss Li saw that he didn't have the upper hand.
He rolled his eyes and pulled the shopping guide and said: "By the way, girl, I remembered.
I also need some TV sets.
Give me ten more 48 cm color TVs."
Machine, equipped with a tape recorder and player, and ten copies of various program tapes "Why did you buy so many TV sets?
Can you watch it?"
Fatty Shen was shocked.
Boss Li showed a compassionate expression and said: "Old Shen, we can't just enjoy ourselves.
I bought this for my employees.
You know, the crew members of our company have been floating on the sea all year round and have a good life.
It’s very boring.
I’m going to equip our company’s merchant ships with TV sets and tape recorders to give them some entertainment.”
Damn it, that's fine.
Shen Wenlong gave the other party a middle finger in his heart.
Fatty Shen's heart moved, and he pretended to be concerned and asked: "The sea is so bumpy, can this TV be used on the ship?"
The shopping guide quickly said: "Of course, our TVs are of top quality, shockproof and moisture-proof.
Nowadays, a large number of TVs are equipped on the navy's warships.
Even if there is a quality problem, we will guarantee a one-year replacement and a five-year warranty." " Seeing Mr.
Li showing a disgusting smile, Fatty Shen was very upset, so he moved and asked: "Haha, can it be used in the car?"
"Of course you can, but the space in the car is small, so you can choose a smaller size.
For buses, you can choose 48 cm, and for cars, choose 24 cm or 20 cm."
Fatty Shen waved his hands like a wealthy man and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll get twenty 48cm color ones, and twenty 24cm color ones.
Remember to bring a tape recorder and program tape."
After saying this, he glanced at the old man next to him. plum.
As expected, Old Li looked constipated, which made Fatty Shen feel very happy.
The corner of Lao Li's mouth twitched and he said, "When did you have a bus there?"
"It didn't happen before."
Fatty Shen smiled proudly: "But it will happen tomorrow.
I ordered 20 of the latest version of King Long buses some time ago and they will be delivered tomorrow.
I plan to use them to run long distances.
These TVs Just put it on the car so that passengers can have more entertainment activities.
We also have to consider our customers, hehehehe."
It’s better to install a TV in the car.
If you’re ruthless, forget it this time.

Lao Li had no choice but to cease all activities.
There is no way, he only has ten ships now, how can he compare with Fatty Shen's cars?
This damn fat man has at least hundreds of cars, which is incomparable.
The two of them glanced at each other like a cockfight for a while, and finally ended in a draw.
Well, my eyes were tired.
"Two gentlemen, please leave your addresses.
Our staff will deliver the goods to your door and be responsible for free installation and debugging for you."
After the two paid the money, the shopping guide was also very happy.
These two wealthy people are really generous. , this month’s business commission is at least several hundred.
But what these two people didn't know was that it was their comparison behavior that triggered a buying craze among the people.
Private business owners in Guangdong, businessmen from large and medium-sized commercial firms, and many middle- and high-income earners all took action.
Within a few days, the first batch of TV sets and supporting equipment were snapped up, and the best-selling color TV sets were sold.
All sold out.
This is because the effect of color TV is indeed incomparable to that of black and white TV.
Consumers at this time are all middle- and high-income earners.
Since they are willing to spend a few hundred yuan to buy a TV, they will not care about spending more to buy a color TV.
Not only that, most of the supporting tape recorders, home theaters and unaccompanied band systems were also bought.
The second thing they didn't expect was that because of their comparison, their company had the first batch of commercial ships and buses equipped with televisions.
Especially Fatty Shen's long-distance bus company, because of the new gadget like television, the number of customers has greatly increased, and everyone is rushing to take his bus.
Many times, passengers would rather wait in line than specify a ride in his car, which made his business extremely popular.
This made other colleagues jealous, so they also followed suit.
For a time, the trend of installing televisions and projectors on buses appeared in China at least seventy years in advance.
By the way, the specifications of TV sets in this dimension are different from those in later generations of the original time and space.
Because the TV sets in the original time and space were first popularized in the United States, they used imperial specifications.
Moreover, profiteers at that time wanted to make their TV sets look good on paper.
The data appears relatively large, so the diagonal size of the screen is deliberately adopted.
Since the television in this plane was invented in China, it uses the metric system.
Of course, the most important thing is that Mr.
Wen hates the British system very much.
He has always believed that the British system is extremely anti-human and extremely funny.
Under his instruction, all products in China were metric.
You can't find any products marked with imperial measurements in China.
Moreover, the size of the TV in this plane is also based on the screen width, not the diagonal length.
For example, 48 cm means the screen width is 48 cm.
As for the height, there is no need to mark it specifically, because the aspect ratio of all screens is 4:3.
For a 48 cm screen, the height is 36 cm, and so on for other specifications.
The invention of television may not be considered by scientists to be the greatest invention, but it should be the invention that involves the largest number of people.
Through the invention of television, people have become closer to the world, and the development of related industries triggered by this is indispensable. imaginary.
We must admit that television has completely changed people's lives.
However, the principle of television has been around for a long time.
At the end of the 19th century, some enthusiasts began to study the technology of transmitting images using electrical signals.
In 1904, the British Bellwell and the German Cologne invented television technology that could telex one photo at a time, but it took at least 10 minutes to send each photo, which was definitely not practical.
In the history of the original time and space, the first television did not appear until 1924.
It was invented by Baird, a British electronic engineer.
However, this inventor has always been controversial, because in the same year, Sfrokin of Westinghouse also invented the television.

The difference is that Baird's TV is mechanically scanned, while Sfrokin's TV is electronically scanned.
The development of television has been complex.
Many people were doing the same research at almost the same time.
In 1928, Baird's company produced the Baird Model C television, the world's first mass-produced television.
By 1928, the RCA TV station in the United States took the lead in broadcasting the first TV series feixthecat.
From then on, television began to change human life, information dissemination and way of thinking.
Since then, mankind has entered the television era.
Before the Internet era, television could claim to be the most powerful killer in the field of propaganda.
Even if it entered the Internet, its status would only change from "the most powerful killer" to "the most powerful killer."
One of the most powerful killer weapons."
Of course Mr.
Wen will not forget such a good thing.
Not long after the popularity of movies, Mr.
Wen ordered the Electrical Appliance Research Institute to develop a television set that was both black and white and color.
Although in the original time and space, color televisions did not come out until 1954, 30 years later than black and white televisions.
But for Xingke technicians who have mastered the technical information of later generations, the difference between the two is not big.
Color TVs are not much more complicated than black and white TVs.
Of course, Mr.
Wen from later generations will not forget the supporting equipment of the TV.
Things such as video recorders, home theaters, karaoke, etc. can also create huge economic value.
Of course, these things are built together with the TV.
The first black and white TV in this dimension was born in China in September 1913, while the color TV was only half a month later.
In the next month, supporting video recorders, home theaters, karaoke and other equipment were also born.
Subsequently, patents were applied for in various countries around the world.
Before the outbreak of World War I, relevant patents were approved in major countries in the world.
As for why it was only officially launched this year, it’s because a TV station needs to be established.
What's the use of just having a TV set but no motor programs?
The more than two years from 1914 to now were mainly used to establish a TV company, establish a TV network, build TV stations in various places, and produce TV programs, film TV series and so on.
This is to ensure that once the TV is launched, there will be programs to watch.
In fact, before the official release this year, the TVs were already being sold in batches, but the users were limited to military and political agencies, schools, hospitals, and academic research institutions.
Of course, today's televisions still use cathode ray tube displays (CRT), which are spherical.
As for flat-screen displays and more advanced LCD displays, the current technology accumulation is not enough.
Although they are not impossible to make, the cost is too high, the performance is not ideal, and they have no practical value.
Television is a great thing.
It can not only revitalize the economy, but also open up people's intelligence and popularize education.
Television is not just entertainment programs.
Various news and scientific and educational films have strong educational value, even more effective than education through books.
More importantly, TV programs can also increase people's happiness and social harmony.
It allows them to gossip about the private lives, gossips and scandals of film and television stars, rather than leaving them idle to criticize Mr.
Wen's "poisonous vegetable dictatorship".
Much better, okay, although our beloved Mr.
Wen is now deeply knowledgeable about the essentials of black education, has no shame, and has very low integrity, he has never been open to such criticism.
The most important thing is that television is a powerful weapon to strengthen the control of public opinion and occupy the field of propaganda.
Whether it is used to gather the will of the people or to promote brainwashing, it has advantages that other media cannot match.
Wen Desi has given instructions to relevant departments such as the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Education, the Central Propaganda Department, and the Ministry of Culture: They must popularize television as soon as possible and increase investment in film and television works, especially investment in film and television program production.

It is a very effective propaganda and brainwashing tool.
Of course, those disgusting braided dramas that were popular in a certain period in the original time and space are absolutely prohibited in this plane.
It’s totally possible to film some traditional cultural soap operas from other dynasties.
In China’s thousands of years of history, is there only one Qing Dynasty?
Mr.
Wen’s instructions for these historical film and television programs are: No matter which dynasty the background is filmed in, the focus is to promote the greatness and brightness of Chinese culture, highlight China’s various traditional virtues, and vigorously promote Chinese values.
These contents must become the main theme of the work. .
Although China's film programs have made great progress in recent years, in Wen Desi's view, it is still far from enough.
This is not to say that the skills are insufficient, but that the concept has not changed.
What does it mean to always shoot those mandarin ducks and butterflies that fall in and out of love?
Mr.
Wen plans to wait until the filming team is mature enough and has enough experience to shoot some science fiction films and disaster films. commercial blockbusters such as movies and historical war films.
The subject matter should not be limited to domestic topics, foreign countries can also be used.
For example, movies like The Patriot, Joan of Arc, Braveheart, and The Fall of the Inca Dynasty are all fine.
Things like the Franco-Prussian War, the Boer War, the Opium War, and the Sino-Japanese War are also good.
In short, on the surface, we should praise heroism and patriotism, praise scientific civilization, and eulogize beautiful love.
Behind the scenes, a large amount of private goods were coerced, people's shortcomings were exposed, and the dark and ugly sides of various opponents such as the Qing Dynasty, especially Western countries, were exposed and publicized.
At the same time, it can also provoke conflicts between countries in a seemingly just way.
For example, Patriots can provoke conflicts between Britain and the United States, Joan of Arc can provoke conflicts between Britain and France, and Brave Heart can provoke conflicts between England and Scotland.
This can be regarded as another type of ideological war.
To be honest, these are also old American wisdom from the original time and space, and Mr.
Wen is ready to use them directly.
Of those American blockbusters from the original time and space, it can be said that any of them does not contain private goods.
Any film that does not contain private goods is not a good film.
The United States now does not have this technology, nor has it thought of this.
We can also retaliate in the same way.
In addition, in order to improve the education and cultural level of the people and promote brainwashing, the Chinese government passed the TV to the Countryside Act a few days after the official launch of the TV, and planned to establish at least one audio-visual center in each village or town unit at the same level through government investment. , the government will provide audio-visual centers with televisions according to the number of people, tentatively set at one television for every 200 people or every 40 households
