Respectfully

The sixth year of the Republic of China, October 1915, 10 in the Gregorian calendar

All major newspapers in Guanbei published the same news, and Guanbei Radio Co., Ltd. was formally established.

The establishment of this company brought a new thing to the people of Guanbei, radio broadcasting.

Historically, the first radio company in China appeared in Shanghai in the 20s. It broadcast radio through its own radio station. The radios bought by Shanghai residents were all imported, mostly American.

After Mr. Zou successfully slimmed down military radios, Li Jinyan came up with the idea of ​​setting up a radio broadcasting company, but Mr. Zou was not very interested in this and devoted himself to researching military radios.Influenced by his father, his eldest son Zou Qizhi also has a strong interest in radio, and unlike his father, his interest is mostly in civilian applications.After Li Jinyan learned about it, he specially allocated a sum of funds to Zou Qizhi to support him and several young people with the same hobbies to set up a research group. Not long ago, they successfully developed the first radio, which is commonly known as the ore radio. .

No power supply is needed, only one semiconductor element is needed in the circuit, the structure is very simple, and the cost is also very low, but the reception performance is still inferior to the tube radio.However, compared with the electronic tube radios that use DC power supply at this time and consume a lot of power, this kind of ore radios is more in line with the needs of the Chinese people, and it is easier to popularize.

With Li Jinyan's current strength, there is no problem with eating alone, but he still, as the head of the General Chamber of Commerce of the six northern provinces, called the members of the chamber of commerce and invited those who are interested to buy shares.

Everyone in the business community of the six northern provinces has reached a consensus, but any business introduced by Li Jinyan will not fail to make money.Although the word radio is still very new, and most people present don't know what a radio is, but as long as Li Jinyan speaks, most people are interested in getting involved.

However, Boss Du and others who are cooperating with Li Sanshao now, which one is not making a lot of money?Even if they don't make money, everyone is very happy to sell well in front of Li Jinyan.

After reaching a consensus with merchants in the six northern provinces, Li Jinyan contacted Liao Qiting in the six southern provinces and informed Wu Song of the establishment of the radio broadcasting company.

There are many coastal cities that were the first to open ports in the six southern provinces, and they are more accepting and tolerant of new things.

After listening to Liao Qiting's introduction, Song Wu also showed great interest in establishing a radio broadcasting company, and intends to go to Guanbei again in November, firstly, to co-found the company, secondly, he also wants to see it, What is the development of Guanbei now?

On October 10, all the teahouses and restaurants in Guanbei were full of people.

As the chime clock on the wall struck ten times, there was a burst of melodious music from the radio placed prominently at the counter, and a clear male voice came out from the radio, and Guanbei Radio Station began its first broadcast.

After the male voice, there was the well-known Dingjun Mountain. With a bang, the teahouse and restaurant suddenly became full of voices.

Li Jinyan was flipping through the financial report of the last quarter of Lou's Commercial Group, but he was obviously absent-minded. From time to time, he turned his eyes to the radio on the table. When the radio finally rang, he immediately turned up the volume, although the sound quality was far inferior to later generations. But it still made him listen with gusto.

Not in the mood to work anymore, he put the financial report in a drawer, Li Jinyan picked up the radio and ran to the study on the second floor, the girls he met along the way widened their eyes in surprise when they heard the sound.

"Master Yan, what is this?"

"Radio." Li Jinyan smiled at the curious girl in a good mood.The girl blushed unhappily, until Li Jinyan left, she was still in a trance.An older girl came over and pinched her lightly, "I'm back to my senses."

Only then did the girl realize that she was standing in the living room with a duster in a daze just now, recalling the reason, she blushed even more.

"Sister Mei, I..."

"Okay, I know, Young Master Yan is good-looking, and the newcomers have to go through so many times." The older girl pinched the little girl's face again, "But after looking at it, don't think about it, you know? "

"How can I!" The little girl was even more embarrassed by the words, "It is a blessing to be able to work in the Marshal's Mansion, and how many people are envious. My parents have already said that the Marshal and Shao Yan are the stars in the sky It's not something that ordinary people can think of."

"Your parents really said that?"

"Yeah," the little girl turned around and said while sweeping the vase by the wall with a duster, "My family came from the south, and they couldn't survive at that time, so they almost sold me off. Now my elder brother works in a factory, I am going to marry a wife at the end of the year. There is a younger brother who always wants to be a soldier. He was not old enough when he was recruited last time. He was not wanted, and he wiped his tears when he returned home!"

"Really?"

"It's not..."

The two maids were working while talking in a low voice. The passing housekeeper saw it and coughed. The little girl shrank her neck immediately. When the housekeeper passed by, they looked at each other. One of them deliberately imitated the housekeeper and coughed. , blinked, covered his mouth with another small hand, and bent his eyes with a smile.

In the study, Young Marshal Lou is dealing with official documents. Although the plan to attack Sakhalin Island has been put on hold for the time being, he still has a lot of things at hand. North Korea, Siberia, and China, he can't relax on either side.

"Young commander, are you busy?"

After Li Jinyan knocked on the door, he poked his head from outside the study and looked in. Young Marshal Lou put down his pen, pinched his eyebrows, "Come in."

After entering the door, when the door was closed, Li Jinyan put the black radio on the table and fiddled with it, and the sound of gongs and drums from Beijing opera came from inside, "Young commander, listen to this."

When Young Marshal Lou was studying at a military academy in Germany, Germany was ahead of Europe in the development of military telegraphs, but civilian radio broadcasting had not yet been popularized.

In fact, radio broadcasting was produced not more than ten years ago.

"Young Marshal, this is produced by ourselves, and the radio station is also built by us."

"Oh."

"……"that's it?

Li Jinyan was speechless when the wrist resting on the table was grasped by Lou Shaoshuai.

"Young commander?"

The calloused fingertips brushed the inside of the wrist, and along the cuff of the wide gown, Li Jinyan couldn't help shivering, subconsciously touched the back of the waist, and a first-level alarm was raised in his heart.

Adjutant Ji's knock on the door "saved" Li Sanshao, and Mrs. Lou sent a telegram from the capital, asking Li Jinyan to come to the capital at the end of the month.At the same time, there were telegrams from Qingdao and Shanghai, announcing that the first batch of overseas students who went to the United States were about to return home one after another.

Li Jinyan looked at the telegram, pondered for a while, and then guessed Mrs. Lou's intentions. According to the lunar calendar, the beginning of next month would be Lou Er Shao's birthday.In this case, Young Master Lou should go back together.

"It should be for the second brother's birthday, and the young commander will go with him, right?"

"kindness."

Looking at the documents piled up on his desk, Li Jinyan planned to stay in the capital for at most three days, otherwise, he would be busy for how long Young Marshal Lou returned to Guanbei.Moreover, news came back from the capital that Mrs. Lou was busy "cooking" Dai Jiansheng at this time, and Li Jinyan wanted to go and return quickly because he was not interested in watching and didn't want to join in the fun.

Not long ago Miss Lou Wu was taken to the capital by Mrs. Lou for a "temporary stay". Within two days, Dai Jiansheng, whose head was still bandaged, was thrown onto the train by Dai Guorao. If he picks it up, he will treat him as if he didn't have this son!Saying this in his mouth, he was relieved in his heart, no matter what, this evil person's life was finally saved.Next, it depends on whether this evil head can turn the corner.

Before Dai Jiansheng was thrown onto the train, Mrs. Dai specifically told him, "Whether your wife beats or scolds, even if you are whipped, you have to bear it! You did something wrong, and you deserve it!"

Dai Jiansheng was not completely confused, he was cleaned up by his father several times, and his mother told him that he knew that going to Beijing this time was definitely "more ominous than good", but who made him do it himself?What's more, Xiao Youde has already arrived in Rehe, and he still doesn't look like he's leaving. Dai Jiansheng's Yumu head was also educated by Dai Guorao, and he's messed with women, but it doesn't mean he's really an idiot.

Thinking of what he did before on the train, Dai Jiansheng broke into a cold sweat.He is really like what his father said, he was blinded by lard, and he is really desperate!

On Dai Jiansheng's first day in the capital, he never saw Lou Wu's face at all, and he didn't even enter the door of the Presidential Palace. If Mrs. Lou wanted to punish someone, there was absolutely no reason for her to hold her hand high, let alone for the sake of Let Dai Jiansheng have a long memory?

As long as Lou Wu is not soft-hearted, the time in the capital is enough for Dai Jiansheng to remember forever.

Li Jinyan and Marshal Lou agreed on the date of going to Beijing. After returning to his room, he fell into deep thought while reading another telegram.

Li Jinshu went to the United States with this group of foreign students. When they came back, she should have news, right?

It was not until three days later that he got the news that Li Jinshu had returned to China.She didn't know what method she used to get rid of the intelligence personnel who followed her, and took the passenger ship back to Huaxia with a few other Huaxia students.

When intelligence agents chased her to Qingdao, she went to Shanghai under the pseudonym Shu Yu and founded a youth newspaper with a few American friends in the Shanghai International Settlement.During this period, not only did she not contact Li Jinyan, even Master Li San and his wife did not get any news of her.

After the intelligence personnel found her, they immediately sent a telegram to Guanbei, and Li Jinyan learned the exact news.

What's going on if you don't contact your family after returning to your country?If it weren't for the intelligence personnel following her, I'm afraid she would have kept it a secret from herself, right?

Li Jinyan really didn't understand what was going on in Li Jinshu's mind. Didn't the information say that this girl had changed a lot?Is that how it changed?

Throwing the telegram aside, Li Jinyan felt annoyed for a while, so he simply asked someone to send the telegram to Li's house intact, and let the third master Li and the third wife communicate with Li Jinshu.

He has already done what he should and can do, and the turmoil of the Li family and the Shen family's resignation has long since passed. He does not want or want to intervene in what will happen to Li Jinshu in the future.

On October [-], Second Sister Xu, who was in Europe, sent a telegram to Li Jinyan with news about Britain.

Due to the lack of air defense forces, German airships visited London from time to time. An attack not long ago caused a fire in London, killing two people and injuring no less than 20 people.Since the establishment of its maritime supremacy, Britain, which has never been attacked on its homeland, is helpless in the face of German airships and has fallen into a very embarrassing situation.

Just a few days ago, there was a riot in the East End of London, which is also a gathering area for the poor. Although the scale of the riot was small and it was quickly quelled, it also sounded the alarm for London. Otherwise, even if the British Empire wins the war, it will lose face!

Second Sister Xu also mentioned in the telegram that the Germans are planning to bomb France in the air, the specific time has not yet been determined, but what is certain is that the airships will still drop bombs over Paris.

After reading this telegram, Li Jinyan knew that it was time for "Markov" to leave.

London, Paris, even Berlin.

The "Markov" who brought back sulfa technology from China to the UK, the "omnipotent" Markov will surely bring more "surprises" to these Europeans.

As the saying goes, you can't bear to let your children not be tied to wolves. If you want Markov to play a greater role, you must provide enough "capital" in the early stage.

Li Jinyan intends to let Markov complete the business with the UK, and he will bring the information on sulfa to his previous employer.However, the information he brought was not all. Just like the Germans back then, it would take a long time for the British to complete the drug research and development steps, but even if the British succeeded, Li Jinyan believed that he still had something to gain. earn.

Will the British share the sulfonamide materials they bought at a high price with their allies?

The answer is easy to guess, isn't it?

And how will the British allies who learned the truth react?

It is worth looking forward to.

On October 23, the new Markov and his "assistant", carrying a box containing sulfa materials, boarded a ship bound for Europe.

On the same day, Li Qingyun, who learned about Li Jinshu from Li Jinyan, boarded a train heading south to Shanghai with several family members.

On October 25, the radios placed on the counter on the second floor of the Guanbei Department Store were sold out again.

On October 28, the film "Soldier" shot by Guanbei Film Company was completed, and the advertisement boards in front of the theaters in Guanbei all wrote the news that the film will be released in early November.
