Chapter 48: Collaboration

Alfonso sat in his office, a week after the spectacular television demonstration at the National Exhibition. His desk was covered with various reports, but the one he held in his hands was the most intriguing of all—the turnout report of the television demonstration.

The numbers were astonishing. In just one week, nearly 2,000 units of the revolutionary television had been ordered by eager customers.

The demand for this cutting-edge technology had surpassed even Alfonso's most optimistic expectations.

As he marveled at the report, his mind drifted back to the history of television in his original world. He recalled how, in that reality, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) had received their first significant order for television sets. It was a momentous occasion, a testament to the allure of this new form of entertainment.

In that bygone era, the first television sets produced by the RCA were a rare luxury, with a hefty price tag to match.
