Huo Dechuan used to work in a newspaper office, and later he changed his career to become a broker. Over the years, he has been ups and downs. Most of the time he has been dealing with various religions and factions. He has seen a lot of various people and various methods, and naturally he has more evil ideas in his mind than

Tan Tianming was a hundred times more likely to follow the rules, and it didn't take long for him to have an idea.

Huo Dechuan spent some time explaining several plans he had conceived to Tan Tianming.

However, Tan Tianming still hesitated after hearing this, because the investment in Huo Dechuanti's plan was indeed not small, but whether it was feasible or not was beyond his knowledge, and it was difficult to predict the results that would be achieved after implementation.

Seeing that he didn't express his position, Huo Dechuan could roughly guess the reason, and he continued to persuade: "Brother Tan, if you don't want to let your children catch the wolf, only by investing heavily can you get big benefits. Although there are risks, we will take a multi-pronged approach.

If we use the plan together, no matter what, the effect will definitely be better than the last time we just bought and submitted articles."

"As long as you put more thought into this job and do it beautifully, with a sample, Mr. Tan can safely entrust you with more important tasks in the future."

Tan Tianming was even more excited when he heard this. He was sent to Sanya by his father Tan Juren to study abroad. In addition to broadening his horizons and increasing his knowledge, he also shouldered the mission of acting as the image spokesperson and guardian of interests for the Xingdao region.

It's just that he is still young, and he still needs to ask Hing Tao for instructions on many things before he can do them, which will inevitably lead to some stumbling. If he can handle things properly this time, he should be able to win more trust from his father.

Tan Tianming made up his mind and nodded in response: "Okay! Then I will do as you said. But I have to wait for two days. I have to ask Xingdao for instructions first. After all, this matter involves too much. I

I can’t make the decision either.”

The two spent some time discussing the details. Before leaving, Tan Tianming handed over a check from Haihan Bank to Huo Dechuan, asking him to prepare first and start implementing it as soon as the reply from Xingdao arrived.

After Tan Tianming said goodbye to Huo Dechuan, he immediately called a carriage and went straight to the telegraph office at the foot of Phoenix Ridge.

The room at the registration office is not small. In addition to the counter, there are also several sets of tables and chairs outside the counter for visitors to fill in the contents of telegrams. Perhaps because of the different nature of official telegrams, people who register telegrams here

, indeed there are more registration offices than the commercial telegraph on the other side.

Now the official has disclosed the existence of "telegraph", established a telegraph bureau, successively built communication institutions and facilities in various cities, and gradually opened its commercial functions to the private sector.

The radio station in Phoenix Ridge basically serves the Executive Committee. Most of the various government orders issued by Fort Victory, as well as the government affairs reported to local governments, are sent and received through here.

There are two large notices posted on the wall. One lists the official institutions that can send and receive telegrams in various places overseas. There are about thirty places in total, and Xingdao is naturally among them. The other notice lists the sending and receiving of telegrams.

It should be noted that there are more than twenty items densely packed.

In addition, this is the only local radio station that has opened commercial functions to the outside world. However, because of the high cost, only some businessmen usually send and receive commercial information here.

After Tan Tianming finished writing the destination and recipient, he stopped writing. He needed to organize his thoughts again in order to explain the current situation and the measures he planned to take in as concise words as possible.

Of course, in view of the special value of this communication method, the manufacturing and application of all communication equipment, as well as the training and employment of relevant technical personnel, are still all in the hands of the government, and private commercial organizations are not allowed to participate.

A row of bungalows on the right side of the compound is where private users are received. People who need to send telegrams first register here, fill in the information, and then pay a fee based on the content to be sent. Generally, the message can be sent within one hour.

.

However, this was not the first time that Tan Tianming came here. After getting off the carriage, he entered the courtyard of the telegraph office with familiarity.

This registration office only provides services to agencies and personnel stationed by local governments in Sanya. Telegram documents that really come from Fort Victory are sent directly there, and there is no need to go through the registration process again here.

Of course, there is more than one radio station in Phoenix Ridge in Sanya. In fact, at the Luhuitou Army Base and Yulingang Naval Base, the navy and army each have their own radio stations. However, these radio stations can only be used for military functions, and outsiders have no involvement at all.

The more than 20-foot-tall signal tower on Phoenix Ridge is constantly sending and receiving telegram messages from all over the world every day. It can be said that this is one of the important institutions that maintains the smooth operation of the entire empire.

Tan Tianming announced his identity and purpose of visit at the counter, and the clerk gave him a pen and paper.

Although telegrams can deliver messages very quickly, compared with the postage of ordinary letters, telegrams are not only charged by the number of words, but also have a charging threshold. After conversion, the cost may be more than a hundred times more expensive than ordinary mail. Ordinary people are not interested in messages.

There is not such a high demand for delivery timeliness, and generally cheaper mail will be chosen.

The high telegraph fees, coupled with the armed sentries on duty outside the telegraph office gates all day long, are enough to dissuade the vast majority of ordinary people who are curious about this. Therefore, even if the telegraph office has long opened its commercial functions to the public, in fact, there is no

How many people have stepped into this mysterious compound surrounded by high walls.

Telegraph is the so-called art of transmitting sounds across thousands of miles spread by the outside world in the early years. Due to the high threshold for use, telegraph was basically only used in the military and political fields in the early years, so it has always maintained a sense of mystery. Now the related applications have been semi-public.

, even the people know that this is a unique technology that only Haihan has mastered. As long as a "radio station" is set up, information can be transmitted to each other thousands of miles apart.

It was already afternoon when Tan Tianming came, and there were no customers here. At first glance, there was no queue. However, the content of the telegram he wanted to send was related to government affairs, and it certainly could not be sent through commercial channels. He just took a look at the situation here.

I went straight to the Government Telegraph Registration Office located on the left side of the compound.

It took Tan Tianming a lot of time to write this long telegram, so much so that the clerk at the counter urged him twice. If he didn't finish writing and submit it quickly, he would have to wait until tomorrow.

Tan Tianming hurriedly hurriedly finished writing the telegram before the telegraph office closed after get off work. He hurriedly read it over to confirm that nothing was missing before submitting the several-page telegram.

After the clerk checked the address and recipient, he put the telegram into a large envelope, wrote a number on the envelope, stamped it, and put it into a bamboo basket full of telegrams next to it. Except for a few rare exceptions, the clerk checked the address and recipient.

Top-secret telegrams are destroyed immediately after being sent. Most official telegrams will still retain the original documents after being sent for future inspection.

The clerk handed the receipt voucher with the same number to Tan Tianming and said expressionlessly: "Okay. It will be sent within tomorrow. If you have any questions, you can check with the voucher."
