Chapter 499 New Television Industry

The club annual meeting on the 22nd is getting more and more lively every year, and its influence is also increasing day by day.

Although Li Zitao can't get rid of the nouveau riche and the evaluation of shit luck, no one can underestimate him based on his strength alone.

At this time, the upper class in the United States did not have the arrogance of later generations.

If after the 1960s, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking to break into the high society based on assets alone.

Why did that big-mouthed Troney insist on running for the presidency, because he was slammed by O'Hai Niu in the White House, saying that he is an upstart, a local turtle, and that his family has no background at all, which makes people despise him and get angry.

Even if he succeeds in becoming the president, there is still no invitation card from him at the top traditional gathering of New York's upper classes.

You don't have to live in the rich area to really become one of them.

Maybe the neighbors around you are not as rich as you, but their family has successfully obtained a pass to the upper class as early as when your ancestors were still mud legs.

In fact, this is a stinking problem learned from the British. What kind of background, bloodline, and the history of the United States itself is too short, so we can only talk about it and use a few years as a watershed to show the status of our family.

Li Zitao is not very interested in this, otherwise with his current status, as long as he takes the initiative to speak up, no one will invite him to participate in top club parties.

Asking them to take the initiative to invite a minority, who is still an 'upstart', has earned more money in a few years than they have earned in a few lifetimes. The veteran dignitaries are a little embarrassed, waiting for him to speak, but Li Zitao is unmoved.

If you invite me, go, if you don’t invite me, don’t meddle, you play yours, I play mine, anyway, his plate is big enough, and there are many people on board, why bother to praise a group of old guys foot.

This is also Li Zitao's confidence. The Habsburg and the Grand Duke's family are his capital to be arrogant.

Otherwise, why would he always take out his pocket watch every time he meets the boss? West's identity is no longer a secret in the eyes of interested people.

It's just that the little old man is willing to live his life incognito, hiding in the farm and wandering around with wild cranes. No one is in the mood to invite a respected descendant of the holy emperor to come out to make offerings.

The Grand Duke family of Luxembourg is a well-known network capital on the surface.

Except for the Rockefeller family, it was because he and Lawrence hit it off right away, and Little John admired him a lot. Some of the old foxes he befriended later didn't take the Grand Duke's face seriously.

Don't look at those guys who call themselves gentlemen, shouting the banner of 'breaking racism', in fact, from the bottom of their hearts, no one but themselves and the old-fashioned British and French look down on white people now.

Li Zitao has been able to get along smoothly all these years, how much of this is due to Mary's credit, everyone is smart and knows it well.

Of course, this also requires Li Zitao to have the capital to make them look at him. If he is too muddy to support the wall, no matter how powerful his identity and background are, it will be useless.

So every time he faced the Grand Duke's family, he was very polite. When he was hired, he even took out 30% of the shares of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce.

This year's Thanksgiving is going to Luxembourg. Mary asked the servants to start preparing, and Li Zitao also prepared a lot of gifts.

The small objects brought out from the antique shop last time were just suitable as gifts for the eldest princess, fourth princess and sixth princess.

As for Jean and Prince Charles, Li Zitao specially prepared big American muscle toys.

Two concept cars, Hummer H-1, just transformed from F931.

This car is already on the ship to France. Its rough atmosphere, strong power, and extreme off-road ability will satisfy both of them.

New York, Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Li Zitao and Mary are packing up and saluting, and Gulfstream One is already waiting at the airport.

"Charlie, how about giving this necklace to your mother?" Mary was holding a thin platinum chain in her hand, and the pendant was a sapphire necklace gesturing on her chest.

"Stable, generous, and unique vision." Li Zitao praised.

"I knew it." She glanced at him coquettishly,

Mary couldn't help laughing again, the sweet words always made her unable to resist.

"It's almost time, okay?" After handing over the salute to the hotel staff, Mary took his hand and left the hotel gracefully.

At the entrance of the Empire State Building last night, the reporters took photos that lasted for a year, and they are still guarding the entrance today.

No way, who makes the public love to watch it!

A newspaper with the headline of Li and his wife represents sales, a smile and a wave of hand are enough to write a report that can get a bonus.

As the car drove away slowly, Li Zitao looked back at the reporters talking with cameras in front of the hotel, and couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile compared to who took the best photos.

"It's a good thing we don't live in New York, otherwise our daily life would be serialized in a newspaper as a TV series." Li Zitao is still not quite used to the troubles of celebrities.

"What is a TV series?" Mary asked curiously.

"Uh..." I missed it, Li Zitao turned his head and said relaxedly: "Magic Box, I call it TV, and TV dramas are the stories played in it, just like dividing a movie into upper and lower parts or many parts The continuity of the story..."

As he was talking, Li Zitao became interested. That’s right, the TV industry is still immature. The mechanical TV invented by the British is just a mechanical device that scans pictures and maps them out. It cannot be called a TV at all.

But its rudiment already exists, and then it is just a matter of research and development time, cost and popularization.

Can News Corporation register the TV station now and set up signal towers, and Jonathan's industrial group can also invest in research. The next wave of acquisitions is just the time to reshuffle.

"I want to make a call." Li Zitao said to the driver.

The driver pressed the red button under the front center armrest, and the tail of the armrest popped up. With the sound of gears turning, the board with the phone was sent out.

Holding the phone joystick and turning it around a few times, Li Zitao called Jonathan's office and told him about the 'Magic Box'.

Then he got connected to News Corporation and asked Harry to go to the government to register a TV station. The definition and details of the TV station would be passed on to him on the plane.

Putting the phone back on the board, the driver pressed the button, and the horizontal version retracted into the armrest. Li Zitao felt that he should also install a few wireless phones in his car, as it would be much more convenient to have it.

"Are you going into a new field again?" Mary asked, who was listening.

"It's not considered a new industry. In the future, newspapers, television, etc. will be collectively referred to as media, but television will change people's lifestyles, just like telephones and airplanes."

When Li Zitao was talking, he accidentally saw the excited expression of the driver from the corner of his eyes in the rearview mirror. It seemed that someone was about to make a fortune from eavesdropping.
