America 1869: A Doppelganger Every Day

Chapter 72 Global Patents Part 4: The Telephone is Really Here

The following day, newspapers around the world were mocking the newly emerged prophet, the Chinese American Daily.

Within a short period of time, two prophets have emerged worldwide, and many things have come true according to their predictions.

Therefore, it is highly likely that these two prophets are true, and this has already been agreed upon.

Then a third one appeared, which many people didn't believe.

Especially since this person has just appeared in China, it's even more unbelievable.

Although the two previous prophets belonged to sects originating from China, no one had ever heard of such a miracle occurring in China.

So the next day's newspapers were full of mockery about the incident.

Dao Xuan, who was in the Qing Empire, remained remarkably calm after receiving a pile of mocking newspapers from Prince Gong.

"Your Highness, there's no rush. It should only take a day or two."

"We just need to wait a few days."

"When the phone call actually comes out, I can slap these people in the face and let them know that I am not a person who seeks fame and fortune by deceiving the world."

Prince Gong, who was initially a little anxious, suddenly believed Dao Xuan after seeing his reaction, and even felt much more at ease.

The next day, Prince Gong stopped reading the newspaper and simply drank tea with Daoxuan.

Sure enough, on the third day, a bombshell news item appeared in the Chinese American Daily.

[Let us congratulate the three prophets on the success of their predictions, and congratulate the Universal Patent Group on acquiring the best patent of the century. Finally, let us congratulate Mr. Antonio Meucci, whose invention will impact the world, humanity, and even the future. Centuries from now, he will be known as the father of the telephone.]

This long list of titles is enough to clearly state the main point.

Sure enough, when people opened the newspaper and read the contents below, they finally confirmed their guess.

A white man named Antonio Meucci begins his autobiography at the start of this article.

He said he had already invented the telephone, but he didn't have the money to develop it, so he just wanted to maintain the patent first and develop the telephone when he had the opportunity.

But after he saw the prophecies of the prophets, he felt that what he had was exactly what the prophets had said.

Sure enough, with the prophet's help, he reached a cooperation agreement with the Global Patent Group.

Currently, telephones have been patented all over the world, and telephone companies have begun to be established around the globe.

All telephone companies will partner with Universal Patent Group.

Finally, he thanked Mr. Five Chickens for his help, which made him make up his mind.

He thanked Daoxuan for his prophecy, as the phone had already been recognized before its launch.

Finally, we begin to explain the function of the telephone.

Meanwhile, the Chinese American Daily also reported on the current global telephone situation.

"So far, telephone coverage in the United States has only been completed in most of the eastern part, as well as Alaska and California. It is expected that telephone service will be available throughout the United States within this year."

"At the same time, most countries in the Americas and Europe that have experienced the Industrial Revolution have begun to lay out their electrification systems. Please check with your respective cities for details."

"Finally, Dongfang has only completed full coverage in the Far East region so far. Due to the imperfections in patent law, there are still many issues to be resolved in other regions."

"Finally, to thank the three prophets, the Global Patent Group decided to establish telephone service for various Native American tribes, with the prophet Blackbird taking full charge of it."

"At the same time, if Mr. Wutiao Yaoji and Mr. Daoxuan agree, we will hand over the telephone patents of the Great Qing Empire and the Little Japanese Empire to you two to control. You will each own 10% of the telephone patents and receive dividends."

If it were just this message, it might not have been a big deal. But when telephones actually appeared on the streets of America, and when public telephones were first opened worldwide at Li Changsheng's suggestion, everything changed.

A public phone on the streets of Los Angeles was used to make a call to Washington.

The call from California reached Alaska.

The call from Paris went to Saint-Quentin.

The call from London reached Edinburgh.

The call from Berlin reached Frankfurt.

The call from Moscow reached Vladivostok.

Cough cough, the previous part was all about marveling at the telephone.

The last one was a statement made by Alexander II to the Far East General.

"You're amazing, you really are amazing."

The Far East General also replied to Alexander II.

"Of course, I can do it."

These words were reported the next day by the Chinese American Daily News, which is located in the Far East, and then spread around the world.

The phone call went viral.

It became a huge hit.

In order to roll out telephones more quickly, only public telephones were available at first.

However, after the telephone appeared, every company, every department, and every prominent person wanted to install a telephone in their office, company, factory, and home.

In particular, some capitalists and nobles wanted to install telephones in their homes and all their properties so that they could better control everything.

For ordinary people, being able to use a public telephone to make a call to relatives far away and exchange a message is already a great honor.

Let's not talk about how much money you can make installing telephones.

The public telephone system established at Li Changsheng's suggestion alone has already made telephone companies in various countries extremely wealthy.

Similarly, ordinary people may only focus on the convenience brought by telephones, but for some important figures, or even some high-ranking people, they are more concerned about the Global Patent Group in addition to telephones.

If the initial incident with Global Patent Group only surprised them, its rapid growth into a behemoth in such a short time is astonishing.

A group with operations in all countries around the world.

A group that is involved in the world's most advanced technologies and patents.

A conglomerate that already controls at least 10% of the world's steel companies, and a conglomerate that controls the entire global telephone industry.

A conglomerate that also controls a large number of industries and human resources.

In the end, everyone came to the same conclusion: this was a group that was not to be trifled with.

Even for the country, they dare not provoke them.

Because this group is located all over the world, if any country dares to target it, it could force them to leave their country, which would be a huge loss for any country.

Even though the Global Group has only been established for a short time, it is an entity that no country dares to provoke.

Li Changsheng's power expanded once again.

But no one knew that the Global Patent Group also belonged to Li Changsheng.

As for Li Changsheng, he naturally didn't want anyone to discover his relationship with the Global Patent Group.

Li Changsheng is now focused on something else.
