Chapter 57 Radio
June 15, 1921
More than a month passed. Outside a teahouse in GZ City, an old man who was a little lame walking and walked into the teahouse with a small box in his hand. The guests in the teahouse greeted him one after another, and he responded enthusiastically.
"Shopkeeper Li, why did you do something with a box early?"
"Boss Wang! This is what I bought with most of my savings. I heard that this box can make the sound of others speaking. The boy from my family has heard it in NN City, which is very magical. I heard that Longteng Electrical Appliances Store has also started selling this thing these days, so I bought one. When everyone comes to have tea, they can listen to the songs and relieve boredom." The old man named Shopkeeper Li said with a smile. It turned out that he was the shopkeeper of this teahouse.
"It's so magical, then I'll listen carefully. If it's so good, I'll buy one." The man named Boss Wang was curious when he heard that the small box was so magical.
Manager Li nodded: "I'm now quick to fiddle with this thing."
After saying that, I put the box on the counter and held two batteries in my hand, but I had been fiddling with it for a long time, but I didn't know how to put the batteries in. At this time, many curious tea lovers also surrounded me.
"Shopkeeper Li, how do you use this thing semi-automatically?"
"Just just now, the boss of the electrical appliances company made fun of it and showed it to me, but I just don't know where the switch is. The two on my hand are called batteries, and they are installed, so there will be a sound." When talking about the battery, Manager Li took out two round objects in his hand in vain.
"Put these two things into this box, but no matter how I think the boxes are sealed, there are no holes for you to put them!"
"Just now, the boss of the electrical appliances company didn't know where to open the box and put the battery in it, but now I just can't find it, it's strange." Manager Li said while fiddling there, as if he wouldn't give up until he figured it out.
At this time, people around were also talking.
"Shopkeeper Li, have you been cheated? There is such a magical thing?" A middle-aged man next to him said with disbelief.
"No, I was in the electrical appliances business just now, and there was really a sound coming out." Manager Li said with a look of affirmation.
"When I take a closer look, I heard that the electrical appliance company is very powerful, with strange things inside. If you buy something, you can change it if it breaks down within a year." At this time, another person next to you also spoke.
This person's words made the conversation grow louder.
"That's not that I bought something. I've been using it for almost a year. I deliberately ruined it and could exchange it for it?" said a young man.
"It's not that simple. I heard that no matter how bad things are, you can check them. If they are damaged by humans, they will be found to be a crime of fraud. If they are light, they will be fined, and if they are severe, they will be sentenced to jail."
"Yes! If you are so immoral, you should be punished. This is to take advantage of it. If you don't have to be punished, it's easy to open a shop these days!" A slightly older man also started talking.
"I just said it, and I didn't plan to really do that." The young man who talked about this topic explained embarrassedly.
Manager Li was still fiddling there, touching his head from time to time, looking puzzled. At this moment, a young man in a suit walked in and said to Manager Li: "Shopkeeper, let me see, I understand this thing."
Manager Li saw it and saw a young man with a decent suit, looking very decent, and there was a very beautiful girl beside him.
"Then I'll trouble this little brother." Manager Li said, then letting go. When the people next to him stopped talking when they heard that the young man could do this, they also wanted to see how to do this thing.
I saw the young man walking over, picking up the small box, turning to the back, pressing a button, and a small lid popped up under the box. Then the young man picked up the two batteries very quickly and put them down one by one.
"This button is to turn on the battery device, just press it, and then put the battery in. When putting the battery, you should also pay attention to the right direction. There are small raised dots on the battery on the right, and the directions of the two batteries are the same. After putting the battery, cover the cover with your hands."
Then he pulled out an antenna behind the box vertically.
"This is an antenna, used for receiving, so it will be clearer. If it is clear, you don't need to pull it."
After pulling the antenna, I turned the box to the front, pointed to the box and put a red button on it and said, "This is a switch, just press it. Next to it is the adjustment channel."
As soon as the young man pressed the switch, the box made a sound of a woman talking.
"Dear Guangdong and Guangxi citizens, good morning, I am..."
At this time, the people around the counter started to discuss it. Later, the shopkeeper Li asked everyone to sit down and have tea, and then they all returned to their original position.
The young man and woman also had their own positions. At this time, Manager Li brought a plate over, changed the tea for the two of them, and then brought a small plate of melon seeds.
"Thank you guys, otherwise I'll go to the electrical appliances shop to ask what's going to do. I'll give you two of this tea, and there are still some melon seeds."
"Thank you, the shopkeeper, I'm just up to a little bit."
"You two can help me use it slowly. Just say hello if you have anything to do." The shopkeeper said and walked back to the counter.
The couple is Chen Shao and Xie Yuxin. The situation has stabilized now, and various developments have come on track. Chen Shao took Xie Yuxin around to see the people's situation and understand the people's conditions. It is the last stop at gz.
"Brother Chen, you know a lot."
"Did you make fun of me? I remember that there was a radio in my house. I don't even know how to keep going."
Chen Shao was speechless about Xie Yuxin's praise.
"No, what I said is true, I kept thinking about what else you don't know."
"Of course there is!" Chen Shao said mysteriously.
"What is it?" Xie Yuxin asked curiously.
"You really want to know?"
Xie Yuxin nodded.
Chen Shao put his head close to Xie Yuxin and said, "I won't have a baby."
After Chen Shao finished speaking, he laughed and sat up straight.
"You hate it." Xie Yuxin blushed and angrily said.
Just as the two were teasing, a man in his early twenties and a thirty-year-old walked into the teahouse. As soon as they came in, they were attracted by the radio on the counter, but they were different from ordinary people. They came to their senses, greeted the shopkeeper, and found a seat to do it. Their location happened to be behind Chen Shao.
The teahouse at this time was different from the past. It used to be noisy, but today the radio was the protagonist. The tea guests were listening to the radio. Even if they were talking, they were still very quiet, afraid of affecting others.
Just as Manager Li was serving tea to the two of them, a message came out of the radio.
"The Guangdong-Guangzhou Autonomous Government will not be captured, arrested or insulted to the original officials, district, town and township security personnel, who do not resist with guns or commit sabotage, the Chinese People's Army and the Guangdong-Guangzhou Autonomous Government will not be captured, arrested or insulted... waiting for acceptance and handling. Among these personnel, those who have a skill but have no serious bad deeds will be allowed to be hired separately. When it is very difficult, the food will be eaten evenly and the houses will be squeezed. Those who have been cut and have no living will be taken back and given food. Those who resist the captives in various places will be taken in accordance with this principle. Anyone who is not the primary member, as long as he repents, he will also have a way out for life......"
Chen Shao didn't care about the words on the radio, these were originally decisions he made. But the two behind him were very interested in the news.
"Brother Wei, I didn't expect that Chen Shao had such a broad mind."
"Brother Zongli, judging from Chen Shao's deeds, it is not surprising that he has this mind. In fact, I guess his mind is on the one hand, and on the other hand, there is a lack of officials and cadres under Chen Shao." Weiren said slowly after taking a sip of tea.
"Well, there are all reasons, but I still admire Chen Shao very much." Zong Li nodded and said.
"Yes! It's not easy to do this. But I'm not saying how he handled those old officials. I'm talking about his attitude towards farmers. It's the real skill that he can say it. Unlike other warlords, it's really heartbreaking to say one thing and do it."
"However, I heard that he had captured a lot of people in GD, all of whom were landlords who opposed selling land. And they directly confiscated the land and property of some sinister landlords and distributed it to farmers."
"Some of them are indeed damn. People are not willing to die. Chen Shao did a good job of doing this." From Wei Ren's words, he could hear his disgust towards the landlords.
"Then you think, why didn't he stand up and unify the north and south, and form a government? He only established a government in Guangdong and Guangxi, and there were more working people across the country." Zong Li shook his head and asked Wei Ren.
"I just said that he lacks cadres, and I guess this is also one of the reasons why he is steady and steady. If I didn't mess with him, he is still just a GX king and would not have won the GD province and HN island so quickly."
Chen Shao was very impressed by the analytical ability of the two. This was not a later generation with developed information. During this period, some things were learned by newspapers, and many things were just a word. It is very rare for these two to rely on these news to infer why he lived in a corner.
At this time, there was no news on the radio, but a small song. This was specially arranged by Chen Shao to promote national culture. For this reason, the broadcasting company recruited a group of opera actors and various folk ventriloquists across the country, and hired them to participate in the development of radio construction and development with high salaries.
In this era, you have to go to the theater to listen to music, and the tickets are very expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people. When setting up a broadcasting company, the film company was also planning, and now spies everywhere also bring video recorders and cameras as tools for intelligence collection.
ps: Depressed, regular releases are messy again! Contempt!!!!!!
