Chapter 315: The Appearance of Television and Qianlong Project
It is somewhat difficult to make breakthroughs in semiconductors, but in terms of displays, research on CRT displays is progressing very rapidly.

The most important technology of CRT is to produce a special vacuum tube, which contains one or more electron guns. The electron beam emitted by the electron gun hits the fluorescent screen, and then the image appears. Relatively speaking, there are not many peripheral production equipment involved, and it is much faster to match than semiconductors.

The origin of these technologies can be traced back to 1869, when German physicists Julius Plücker and Johann Wilhelm Hittorf first observed the existence of cathode rays, which is the basis of CRT displays. In 1897, German physicist Karl Ferdinand Braun used this discovery to invent CRT (cathode-ray tube), so CRT was originally called Braun tube.

Since monitors appeared so early, televisions would naturally not be too late. In 1925, British inventor Baird invented the world's first useful television.

By 41, they had even developed color television and set up a television station.

But obviously, the effect of television during this period was too poor, so it did not develop on a large scale.

The screen display is too small and the image display quality is abstract. For people of this era, no matter how patient they are, they cannot stand it.

Under Ren Zhong's technical guidance, the Display Technology Center of the Liming Research Institute was the first to realize a 352-inch color TV with a resolution of 288×15 pixels. This is the world's first TV with an effect that is clearer than newspaper printed images.

It is also the electronic display with the best display effect currently.

Among the initial applications of this type of display, the first application of this type of television was as a display device for transistor computers.

Yanjing.

Ren Zhong summoned the head of the Display Technology Center and Staff Officer Ye to discuss things.

"Television technology is now basically mature. Does anyone have any good suggestions for the promotion of this product?" Since there were not many people around, Ren Zhong didn't bother to be polite and asked straight to the point.

"This is an amazing invention, very attractive," said Staff Officer Ye, who had seen the demonstration of the TV. Indeed, in this era, products like movies can be seen at home, which is enough to move people. "But this thing is not cheap. According to your cost analysis, it costs 500 US dollars to produce, and the terminal price is 1000 US dollars. I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell many in China, not to mention that it needs to be supported by program content. At this stage, I think there is not much opportunity in China."

It is obvious that Staff Officer Ye has thought about what he said. The current exchange rate between the US dollar and the domestic price is about 1:6, that is, 1 US dollar can be exchanged for 6 yuan. In this society where the monthly salary is still a few dozen yuan, the price of a TV is obviously too out of touch with social reality.

"Yes, this invention has commercial opportunities abroad, but," Ren Zhong considered for a moment, "if we only do export business, I'm afraid it will be difficult to expand this business. Whether it's the Eurocopter or the Rogue Eagle, these products have very broad market prospects, and they won't allow us to control them."

Ma Zhiyuan, the head of the Display Technology Center who studied abroad, deeply agreed with Ren Zhong's words. Although Rogue Eagle absorbs foreign talents in an eclectic manner, they also have an instinct rooted in their bones to do everything possible to get new products and technologies in.

Whether it's stealing or robbing.

"Since we can't form a sufficient market for development in the country, and we can't export it on a large scale abroad, are we just going to watch this technology go to waste without being able to monetize it?" After hearing this, Staff Officer Ye frowned and said in distress.

Transistor computers were a big success, and Staff Officer Ye was very interested in the commercialization of technology. In this regard, it was as satisfying as winning a battle.

"Of course we can't just watch the technology go to waste. I do have a plan, but it requires capable people to execute it." Ren Zhong knew that it was useless to embarrass the two of them, so he directly told them his plan, "We will select reliable personnel, bring the technology to secretly join Rogue Eagle, use this technology to start from scratch in Rogue Eagle, make money and grow ourselves, and when the time is right, find a way to give this huge amount of money back to the motherland, not necessarily by donation, but by investment, purchasing the materials we need, etc."

Ren Zhong briefly explained it and then said, "This requires our executors to have firm beliefs, profound technical skills, and business talents."

Ren Zhong looked at Ma Zhiyuan and said, causing the latter to feel a great deal of pressure for a moment.

He has only been back for a few years, and he is doing very well in the country, feeling very accomplished. Why does it feel like Ren is sending him away?

What is the difference between this and underground intelligence personnel lurking in other countries?
No, these are the intelligence agents lurking on the economic front.

Ma Zhiyuan didn't want to go out again at all.

Staff Officer Ye on the side was very shocked by Ren Zhong's strange idea. To him, it was completely unimaginable that it could be done this way.

But after thinking about it carefully for a while, this is actually quite feasible.

However, the operational requirements are too high. Not only do the employees have to be extremely loyal, but the business talent required to build an industry from scratch is something that not everyone can do. To have both is simply harder than climbing to the sky.

However, Staff Officer Ye looked at Ren Zhong and felt that he seemed to have a plan in mind. This young man named Ma Zhiyuan seemed to have entered Ren Zhong's field of vision. Otherwise, Ren Zhong would not have called an irrelevant person to discuss such a confidential matter.

"Brother Ren, I have no say in this matter. So, if you need us to cooperate, just tell us directly and we will cooperate with you." Staff Officer Ye remembered the way he did things in the past and consciously did his own job.

"Of course we need the great assistance of Staff Officer Ye. In any case, only a very small number of us will go out. The people who maintain the core of technological development and the core positions of actual business operations still need Staff Officer Ye to negotiate with Mr. Chen and others overseas. The initial fund raising also needs to be completed by Mr. Chen in Liumiaoying to ensure that this company starts off with a clean slate and is a genuine local startup in Liumiaoying." Ren Zhong already had a plan in mind, and now that he mentioned part of it, he made Staff Officer Ye and Ma Zhiyuan feel that Ren Zhong was not acting on a whim.

"This is just one of the companies. In the TV industry, there is actually a more important link, which is the provision of content. In this regard, I think it is more worthwhile for us to invest and work hard, because there is no doubt that the most effective way to influence the public opinion of the Rogue Eagle in the future will be the development of television media! Our people must infiltrate the TV industry content providers of the Rogue Eagle."

"According to Liumao Eagle's habitual development, their cable TV will be the mainstream in the future. Our people must be able to complete the application and construction of cable TV networks in Liumao Eagle's several mainstream metropolitan areas in advance, so as to cooperate with the sales of televisions and truly control the upstream and downstream of this industry."

Hiss, Staff Officer Ye and Ma Zhiyuan both took a deep breath, Ren Zhong’s plans were always grand!
If the plan continues to develop in this way, and if all of Rogue Eagle's mainstream urban areas are covered by this TV network in the future, then the advantage in winning over public opinion will be really huge.

A simple business of selling televisions could be turned into something so fancy by Ren Zhong. Ren Zhong must have at least eight hundred tricks up his sleeve!
