Chapter 377 The World's First Color TV
"Let me see, let me see..."

When Chen Ying saw Qin Yang coming, she immediately stood aside, because she knew...

If she didn't know her, Qin Yang probably knew her!
"This is……"

When Qin Yang saw the thing placed not far behind the door, his expression became a little strange.

"Boss, this...isn't this a TV?"

Chen Ying said a little uncertainly.

"Well, you guessed it right...this is a TV!"

Qin Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's just that this TV is different from other TVs we've seen before. Strictly speaking, this is the world's first color TV."

"The first color television?"

Chen Ying was stunned. Does this thing have such a big origin?
"Boss, is this really the world's first color TV?"

As she said that, Chen Ying looked up and down the TV, which was half covered with a cloth, with curiosity in her eyes.

Does this thing have such a history?
"Yes, you heard that right, it's the first color TV."

Qin Yang nodded and said, "It's Philips' Prophet color portable TV in 1949. You know, in our country of Xia... black and white TVs didn't become popular until the 80s, and color TVs didn't become popular until after 1985."

"And in the United States in 1949, the TV was not only in color, it could also be rotated!"

"Can it be rotated?"

Chen Ying was taken aback, can this thing still rotate?
Seeing that Chen Ying seemed a little confused, Qin Yang didn't care what she was thinking. He directly tore off the cloth on the TV and turned the head of the TV with his back to them.

"I'll go, this thing can really rotate."

Chen Ying looked at the things in front of her with novelty, only feeling that she had gained a wave of insight.

Tsk tsk, this old beautiful color TV not only looks very strange, but it can still be rotated, can you believe it?

But soon...

Chen Ying discovered something was wrong again. She walked to the rotatable color TV, pointed at its base and said, "No, boss, the base of this color TV is so weird. How can it keep drinking water?" It looks like a machine!"

"Haha, you can make an analogy. If you look at it this way, its base does look a bit like a water dispenser."

Qin Yang was also amused by Chen Ying's metaphor.

At first, he didn't think that the base of this TV was like a water dispenser, but now that she made such a comparison, he really couldn't go back.

The long and tall base and the rotatable body really look like a water dispenser.

"Hey, boss, since this thing is a Philips color TV, why is it designed to be able to rotate? What's going on?"

At this time, Chen Ying raised a new question.

In her impression, shouldn't these old color TV sets be big and bulky?

How can there even be a design like shaking the head?

"Haha, this design was for people to watch it at that time. It is said that when this TV was designed at that time, it was to allow people to enjoy good-looking TV programs even when they were doing various housework."

Qin Yang replied with a smile.

"Good guy, did those TV manufacturers at that time even consider this? It's amazing!"

Chen Ying only felt that her eyes lit up, and the more she looked at this TV, the more pleasing she was.

"Well, besides that, Philips, the manufacturer of this TV, went through several twists and turns before finally producing this color TV."

After thinking about it, Qin Yang added this sentence.

Chen Ying asked with a heartbeat, "What do you say? Boss, has this thing been made, and has it experienced any ups and downs?"

"Yes, when this color TV was built, it did experience some ups and downs."

As Qin Yang said, his expression gradually became serious, "Philips's previous life was Toko Company, which was the number one brand in the 1920s. In the United States at that time, their annual sales volume was as high as 900 million TV sets. They Introduced the first color portable television in 1949."

"But this TV was only produced for two or three years before the company went bankrupt, and then Toko was acquired by Ford, and then sold to the Netherlands by Ford in the 70s, and merged into Philips, and it was renamed Philips TV from then on. machine!"

"And when this color TV came out, it was advertised as the world's first rotatable color TV!"

"I'll go, does this TV have such a history?"

Chen Ying was a little dumbfounded, because after hearing what Qin Yang said, she felt that this TV could be produced, and there is such a history.

"Well, so in fact this color TV is not actually the first color TV. It is a color TV that was produced after a series of acquisitions and eventually became Philips."

Qin Yang said seriously, "To put it bluntly, it is the second generation of Toko..."

"It's just that because there were so many accidents that year, people believe it was the first color television."

"Well, it seems that the history of this old antique is quite tortuous."

Chen Ying nodded and said.

"Haha, the twists and turns are not counted, a bit of history is true..."

Qin Yang said with a haha.

"Then...boss, what is the value of this thing at present? Is it worth money?"

At this time, Chen Ying also asked a more critical question.

"It's worth the money."

Qin Yang thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Because this kind of antique TV set is hard to find in the market now, if you take it to those antique shops or second-hand shops, it shouldn't be difficult to sell it for 2 M yuan. Bar."

"Hey, is such an antique TV set so valuable?"

Chen Ying was a little surprised and said, "Then...then if it can still be turned on and used? How much is it worth?"

"Well, if this TV can still be used, it should be able to pay a premium of about 3-500M yuan."

Qin Yang shrugged and smiled.

"Well, it seems that we have found a good treasure this time."

Chen Ying was also very pleasantly surprised at this time, because as a new employee in Daqin Antique Store, she didn't often have the opportunity to participate in such interesting things as treasure hunting in old houses.

did not expect……

After they came to New York, an international metropolis, they still had the opportunity to participate.

And you can still find treasures from these old houses.

This excitement, this joy, is actually indescribable.

"Well, this thing may still have some weight. Let's move it to the corridor first, and move it out together later."

"it is good!"

"..."
