Chapter 1233 Hello, This is Daming (Second update, please subscribe)

...In the early morning, when he woke up, Shi Wenze jumped out of bed. It was still dark and it looked less than five o'clock. The stranger sleeping in his bed curled up in a ball, with one hand under his neck, biting his lips like a baby.

Looking at her half-exposed body, Shi Wenze took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath and said:

"Listen, I have to go to work soon. When you wake up, just leave on your own."

Now, he even forgot where this European woman was brought from.

Is it a bar? Or a street corner?

Well, I don't want to think too much about it. It's just a fleeting romance.

At this time, the woman on the bed seemed to wake up, and Shi Wenzhe felt her move.

"You know, it would be a great help if you could speak French,"

The woman coughed a few times and said,

“I don’t understand Chinese very well.”

French?

Is the woman from France?

"Sleep in your own bed for a while."

Shi Wenzhe answered in French,

"I'm going to work."

"Going to work? So early?"

The woman blinked her eyes and looked at the man. At this time, the man had already entered the bathroom. After quickly washing up, Shi Wenze left the apartment.

Of course, before leaving the apartment, he deliberately put a few dollars on the bedside table. After all, he couldn't remember how he brought this woman back.

He drove his Maxima 301 sedan out of the community in the parking lot.

For him, it was just an ordinary morning. About half an hour later, Shi Wenzhe arrived at the radio station where he worked - Voice of America.

Almost a year ago, this radio station was established. Although it was an independent civilian radio station and sounded very fresh, only a few people knew that the boss behind this radio station was the Imperial Investigation Bureau. Unlike other radio stations in the Ming Dynasty, it was a radio station. After Tesla invented radio last year, the royal family funded the establishment of the first radio station in the Ming Empire. On November 17, 1884, the radio began to be broadcast. At that time, there were only more than 100 radios in the country.

However, this did not prevent the Imperial Investigation Department from establishing the "Voice of America" ​​and starting Spanish broadcasts. Yes, the Voice of America broadcasts in Spanish. Even the radio was a cooperation between the Imperial Investigation Department and Tesla Electric Company. More than 1,000 radios were placed in major cities in Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba and other countries.

This is a huge investment. The radio alone is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Most of these radios are placed in public places, such as the open-air cafes near the Plaza de Armas. It is the center of the city and gathers the most people. It is a good idea to set up a "radio station" there.

“This is the news broadcast today.”

As soon as Shi Wenzhe entered the office, an assistant handed him a press release. These press releases were carefully designed. The news was not only about the Ming Dynasty, but also about Latin American countries. What was the so-called news?

There are political news, and of course there are folk news, such as a caudillo spending tens of thousands of pesos on a piece of jewelry for his wife or daughter, or a caudillo giving his lover a gorgeous dress worth tens of thousands of pesos. In a word, the luxurious lives of caudillos are revealed to the world through radio. Of course, occasionally, some ordinary but somewhat miserable lives of ordinary people are also broadcast.

Is this a contrast?

Absolutely not.

It is just telling the truth. In fact, this is a clever propaganda, or through such broadcasts, the lives of the rich and the poor are exposed to the world. Of course, the ordinary and ordinary lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty will also be shown through broadcasts.

What is life, what is living? Everyone's heart is like a mirror, through such three comparisons, every day, every moment, it is played out on the air. And in the end, what changes is the heart.

As usual, before starting the broadcast, Shi Wenzhe would spend two hours preparing. He would face the mirror, repeatedly reporting the news and practicing over and over again. This is what an announcer must do to avoid any mistakes during the broadcast.

Finally, at 7:55 in the morning, Shi Wenzhe asked when he entered the broadcast room.

"Is there any news that needs to be added or subtracted?"

After confirming that there was no one, he walked into the broadcast room and began to prepare for today's broadcast.

"10, 9, 8..."

When the countdown began, Shi Wenzhe took a sip of water, then spoke into the loudspeaker, took a breath, and slightly opened his lips when the countdown reached one.

"Hello, this is Daming!"

…

"Hello, this is Daming!"

Along with the rustling sound of electromagnetic waves, a familiar voice sounded outside a coffee shop near the Plaza de Armas in Bogota. At this time, the place was already crowded with people. Some of them were sitting on chairs drinking coffee, and some were just gathering there. When they heard the familiar voice, there was still a look of surprise on people's faces.

It's all so magical.

A few months ago, when this sound came out of the wooden box, people who were drinking coffee all opened their eyes wide in astonishment. Some people even ran behind the box to see if there was someone hiding there, otherwise how could the sound be heard?

Everything is so magical. As long as there is electricity, sound will come from the distant Ming Dynasty.

Even in Spanish.

“Oh my God, is this the voice of God?”

The devout believer was making the sign of the cross there, and his voice was immediately refuted by others.

"Hey, Diego, you have heretical thoughts. How can this voice be the voice of God?"

"But it did come from heaven!"

Diego said a little stubbornly.

"In the sky? This is a kind of radio wave. If you read Life Pictorial, you will know that this is the latest invention of the Empire, the radio..."

A well-dressed gentleman was there showing off what he had learned.

"Yes, it's a radio. One costs 260 pesos! Mr. Julio's family bought one..."

"Oh, it's so expensive, Mr. Julio must be really rich..."

"Shut up, everyone. Listen to the news. It seems to be about Master Manuel's family..."

People shut their mouths and listened to the news coming from the radio. The news was simple, about the launch party. The only shocking thing was that the launch party cost a full 50,000 pesos.

It even listed the menu and drinks of the launch party in detail, and described how luxurious the banquet was. When everyone was amazed, people were not only full of envy, but also full of jealousy. Sometimes, besides being jealous, people thought more about themselves - their own miserable lives.

Not to mention ordinary people, even those middle-class people who seemed well-dressed spoke in a sour tone.

"It's just a birthday, but it cost us money we couldn't earn in our lifetime! That's 50,000 pesos!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone spoke.

"Oh my God, I only make five pesos a month... I won't make that much even if I live to be 100 years old."

"Even if you live to be 100, you won't earn enough to hold a banquet!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter around him, as if mocking him for his poverty.

But after people's laughter, a hint of sadness appeared in their expressions.

Because they all understood that the money that Master Manuel spent on his daughter's sixteenth birthday would take them 1,000 years, let alone 100 years, to earn.

And working hard for 1,000 years... is only enough for others to hold a banquet. At this moment, the smile disappeared from everyone's face.
