Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Sell newspapers! Sell newspapers!"

    "Daming Telecommunications Company has officially launched telephone services. Even if you are thousands of miles apart, you can make real-time calls and hear the voices of your loved ones in your hometown."

    "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers!"

    "Kuang Xiong, the inventor of the telegraph, was awarded the title of earl, which is hereditary!"

    With the beginning of a new day, newsboys kept shouting in the streets and alleys of the capital, and soon a large number of people emerged from the streets and alleys to buy up all the newspapers in the hands of the newsboys.

    "Does anyone know what this phone is?"

    "Yes, what's the difference with this telegram?"

    In the tea house, the old and young men from the capital who were having morning tea were reading newspapers and were full of curiosity about this call.

    "This phone is actually a very popular thing recently. It is similar to the telegraph, and it is a tool that can communicate over a long distance."

    "But the difference with the telegram is that it can be directly communicated with in person, and the voice can be heard, instead of the telegram which needs to be translated before it can be understood."

    "I heard that the main departments of the palace and the court, the cabinet ministers in the court, and the six ministers have installed this phone in their homes. Now, as long as the wealthy families in the capital have status and status, they are applying for the installation of this phone."

    "Having this phone number is very convenient. For example, if you want to ask Zhang San if he can go out for a drink, you can directly call Zhang San's home and ask about Zhang San's situation."

    "For another example, if you have business in Tianjin, you can call Tianjin to ask about the situation in Tianjin. There is no need for people to make a hard trip."

    "Isn't this similar to a telegram?"

    "It's almost the same, but the difference is that you can hear the other party's voice directly, just like a gramophone."

    "You can hear the other party's voice directly, which is pretty good!"

    "Isn't that right? The emperor also praised this invention very much, so he directly rewarded the inventor Kuang Xiong with an iron rice bowl of an earl."

    "How much does it cost to install this phone?"

    "I think it's quite convenient. If there is a phone in this house, it will be very useful."

    "Put it down, do you know how expensive this phone is now?"

    "There was a rich man named Li in the courtyard of our community who went to install a phone. Do you know the result? He was frightened right away."

    "I heard that the installation fee and line fee alone cost more than 100 taels of silver. In addition, purchasing a phone costs more than ten taels of silver. In addition, whether the phone is used or not, you still need to pay several taels of silver every month."

    "After all these miscellaneous calculations, more than 200 taels of silver are gone. The key is that we will have to pay several taels of silver every month in the future. This is a fixed expense. It is required after the phone is installed, and it must be paid regardless of whether it is used or not.

    For ordinary families, this expense is too great, and they are simply not willing to spend money to install a telephone.

    Of course, when this phone first came out, it was not for ordinary people, but for the rich, and the most indispensable thing in the capital was the rich.

    Here at Daming Telecommunications Company, along with the emperor of Ming Dynasty and various departments in the DPRK and the Central Government, all the princes in the DPRK and the Central Government have used telephones. The elders in the DPRK and Central Government also feel the convenience of telephones. Naturally, they also want to install them in their homes.  One piece.

    ????????????????????????????????:??????????: The commercial trade in the Beijing-Tianjin region of the Ming Dynasty is extremely prosperous. The demand for various trade transactions is also very hot, and there is also a huge demand for telephones.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off Daming Telecom¡¯s Commercial Bank

    Although it is very expensive to install and use telephones now, it still can¡¯t stop the number of wealthy people in Beijing.

    I just want money.

    The men in the capital are least in need of money. What they want is face and fashion.

    ??The emperor and the main ministers of the DPRK are all using phones. It would be shameful if you didn't have a phone in your home. It would make you look weak, and you would be embarrassed when you go out to chat with friends.

    "Don't say it's just a matter of more than 200 taels of silver. Even if it costs 2,000 taels of silver, there are still a lot of people in the capital who can afford it.

    "My master is Li Hanlin of Hanlin Academy. Can you give priority to installation for my master?"

    "Everyone is on a first-come, first-served basis. Whoever pays and registers first will be installed first. It's not just your parents who are waiting in line here."There are many people who have switched from technology to management. As long as they study hard, they can also adapt quickly.

    What's more, the income now is much higher than that in school. The salary alone is several thousand taels a year. After counting the dividends and rewards at the end of the year, it is enough to earn tens of thousands taels a year.  There is no problem at all. This kind of income is enough to live a prosperous life in a place like the capital.

    "It will take half a year to cover all the major provinces and major cities in Ming Dynasty."

    "In the second half of the year, we have to cover major identities outside the customs. Next year we will open overseas. We will also open phone booths in major public areas in major cities. This is quite busy."

    Thinking of what he has to do next, Kuang Xiong gets overwhelmed. There are too many things to do and he is really busy at work.

    But there is no way. Now is the period of rapid development of the telephone service. Only by expanding as soon as possible and continuously improving the service can the telephone truly enter thousands of households.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
