There are quite a lot of news organizations that come to find BT to cooperate with. The Times is here, and the daily news is here. Then, Reuters' founder Paul, Reuters, has just been established for a short time. In two years, the worst thing is that Reuters is the pioneer of using cable telegraphs. Didn't you say that before? Reuters' Telegraph Company! The emergence of wireless telegraph shattered the advantages of Reuters' Telegraph Company in one fell swoop, which was equivalent to the huge cost of the telegraph line. The wireless telegraph is easy to say, with typewriter! Can you still copy it! What else do you think of those guys in cable telegraph have? Paul? Reuters came to Tangning with a hangover. Ask for help, ask for help, and do anything. Save us Reuters.

Paul was a German Jew. After he arrived in London in 1845, he immediately converted from Judaism to Christianity, and his name was changed to this one. It can be seen that he himself was a guy who used moral integrity as dry food. People without moral integrity often had business acumen, and this businessman was particularly brave. During the wave of the European Revolution in 1848, he was a partner of a bookseller in Berlin and published radical pamphlets, which was monitored by the Berlin authorities. So he left Berlin and went to Paris to develop. The place where he worked was Charles Louis Ha.

Van News Agency, the predecessor of AFP. When he was in Paris, he used his intelligence and used pigeon communications to make up for the missing link of the telegraph line between Berlin and Paris. The speed was a little faster, which had a different meaning in the press, and even more so in financial information, because Paris was the center of Europe at that time, and the stock market would affect Berlin. It was a great gain from knowing the news a few minutes earlier. Similarly, after the telegraph was issued by the English Channel, it was even more meaningful, because London was the world's financial center, and the stock market information there would affect the whole world.

Tangning is not a greedy person. The clue can be seen from his random reward of 1.5 million pounds to parliament. He has a clear plan for his development route. After receiving the huge sum of 1.5 million, he will start heavy industry. This is too time-consuming. He is buying time and striving to have huge influence when the British and French forces invade their homeland. It is not to save the corrupt Qing Dynasty, but to find the right person in China to support and change China. In this case, he still wants to obtain a huge intelligence network like Reuters in the future. So, either Reuters sells it to him or he builds an intelligence network by himself. This matter is too important.

Given the business talent revealed by Mr. Reuters in his speech, Downing decided to make him an important partner, and he wanted to buy Reuters' 50% plus one share. The Bank of England, which acts as a central bank, only has a reserve of 2 million pounds. With a super big money as a backer, Mr. Reuters decided to sell his soul again, OK, I'll sell it!

The East India Company is actually responsible for the global network construction of the British Telegraph Company, and in particular, at the request of Downing, it has established a telegraph network in Guangzhou, Shanghai and Japan. Japan is now carrying out a policy of closing the country, allowing only Chinese and Dutch merchants to trade on the island in Nagasaki. This island country will undergo earth-shaking changes in the future and become a country that affects the world pattern, so Downing will pay attention to its intelligence.

After taking over Reuters, Downing asked Reuters to be responsible for the construction of the global intelligence network. Paul's original ambition was very small, but he wanted to sell some financial information in the UK. Unexpectedly, he became a partner of the telegraph giant. Downing was interested in international politics, military, people's livelihood, and economy. Reuters will usher in a leapfrog development. What made Paul unknown is that the new boss was too low-key and did not even change the name of the company. When the outside world heard it, he thought that Mr. Reuters was leading the company.

Reuters has just been established and it is not worth much money. Tangning has invested a lot of money in the intelligence network. No matter from any perspective, Paul is sure to make a profit and is extremely motivated to work.

Downing's relationship with Times and other news organizations has also changed quietly. It turned out that the Times wanted to use BT Telegraph to establish its own global news source, which created a conflict of interest with Reuters. As the same goes, Reuters' success is crucial to him, so Downing refused to cooperate with the Times without compromise, hoping that they would mainly adopt Reuters' news. It was at this moment that the Times believed that Downing had used his monopoly advantage to do evil, and his original praise began to change the direction, especially BT also had the right to form a wireless communications management committee. Thames believed that an unscrupulous monopoly company had begun to emerge.

The news source habits of British newspapers are not quite the same as those in the continental region. When Reuters was first established, it was almost difficult to sell his news to newspapers. Mr. Reuters had already worked very hard, but his performance in London was not good at the beginning.

So, Tang Ning decided to start his own newspaper. Humph, the trend of the Times is too easy to change. He relied on being the boss to manipulate public opinion and even called for the replacement of the president of the British Telegraph Company. Who can't bear it?

The Times and some members of the parliament are too naive. Not to mention that there are two allies of Rollinson and Samuel in BT, just about the high-energy battery factories, paper tape factories, ink factories, and typewriters factories that he controls, Lord Tangning's position in BT is unshakable.

Since we are going to publish our own newspapers, it is more important to the development of automatic typesetting machines. Before the invention of automatic typesetting machines, the work of manual typesetting workers was a arduous task. Because of this, the Times, which had the largest circulation in this era, did not exceed 8 pages, because the workload was too large, and when the typewriting work was too large, it was not possible to increase the manpower of typesetting workers to solve it.

Although movable type printing was invented by the Chinese, it was not widely used in China because there are too many Chinese characters, with thousands of characters, and there is almost no difference between movable and dead characters. At the beginning of the 18th century, Paris engraved a set of wood-carved Chinese characters of more than 100,000 characters, but the scale is too large and difficult to use. At the beginning of the 19th century, Watz, England, created an accurate movable type, but the cost is so high that ordinary Chinese characters can be used. English is completely different, with only 26 letters in total, and it is very difficult to put together movable types.

What Tangning wanted to do most was not a great inventor, but a large group of inventors under his command. During the research and development of automatic typeface machines, he mainly handed over to the inventor of the fax machine recruited at the World Expo. The typeface workers at that time typefaces type newspapers with letters and letters, which was awkward. The principle of completing the layout process with paper tape machines was not complicated, but Beckwell's original plan required a huge library of letters, which could make the machine collapse. The old inventor did not learn the lessons learned when inventing the fax machine. Overloading information was fatal to the automatic machine. The number of letters required in the news was unpredictable. Tangning had to take action himself and proposed to use a small number of molds to produce the required movable type in real time. This is hot metal typeface.

Lead is a relatively ideal metal with a melting point of only over 300 degrees Celsius. Unfortunately, there is no electricity to use now, and the electrical era has not yet arrived. Open flames are needed to heat the machine castings. After the movable type is arranged in a row through an automatic typewriter, they are melted together to become the basic components of a layout. After it is gradually arranged into a plate in the box, it is locked, and a layout is freshly released.

For newspapers that are typesetting at this speed, not to mention that 8 pages are stress-free, 80 pages are stress-free. You just need to find a few more editors to proofread the documents printed on the typewriter.

Tangning was not very satisfied with the font and asked the artist to redesign it. In the process of developing the typewriter, he kept asking the font designers to improve it. Finally, he chose a fine font similar to Helvetica, and the sample printed really gave people a new look. Tangning felt that this was much better than the Times font. This is also the competitiveness of his newspaper, and the beautiful details gave people a different feeling.

Printing efficiency is higher than others, and it is far from the success of a newspaper. He should be the director of a printing factory first, and build a printing factory for the Daily News and Morning Posts, which pursue costs, such as the "Penny News" and other "Morning Posts". In order to best utilize his channel advantages, in addition to the normal daily distribution channels, he named his newspaper the "Telecom". Anyone who rents a BT telegraph machine can print the newspaper by himself. This "electronic" newspaper uses the ink and paper of the telegraph renter. The telegraph publication

The cost of the company is cheaper than printing, so it sells cheaper than the Daily News and the Morning Post. Another major advantage is that such electronic newspapers can be updated many times a day. In the beginning, the Telegraph was updated every four hours. If there was breaking news, Tangning asked the editor to write the draft within ten minutes and then add the telegraph distribution sequence. In terms of news, no one can compare to the Telegraph. A buddy on the road was hit by a carriage and died? See if the Telegraph has been updated, maybe it has been released a new version. Embarrassing.

This model can also be released in many versions, such as financial version, literary version, popular science version, and simple English version, which will happen in the future. Anyway, Tang Ning himself likes this model very much, and the news is transmitted so quickly, reaching the peak of this era.
