American Entertainment 1982

  Chapter 60

"I think it's very simple. I mean, since the United States refuses to fulfill its promise, we can find a way to earn it back from it. I have an idea." David Schaefer sat at the conference table and sent a message to his mouth. While eating fried chicken, he said vaguely to Tommy and the others:

   "Provide money laundering business, then grow hemp in large quantities, sell it to the United States, and quickly earn money back."

Tommy Hawk shook his head: "No, David, that will really ruin the country. What we have to think about is to solve this problem through normal channels. According to your plan, the United States owes this country money. Originally, the American sugar mills were evading taxes, but because you did something wrong, you gave the United States the best chance to break the contract. We cannot do wrong things. This country, which is not as big as a small town in the United States, has zero fault tolerance rate. It has not committed any crimes. Wrong, the United States can already ignore the contract, if it really does something that hurts the United States, guess what retaliation methods the United States can use?"

   "How about newspapers? Let's make a batch of newspapers and distribute them in the United States so that Americans know what's going on here?" Zoe said.

  Catherine had a gloomy face: "Maybe we don't need newspapers, why don't we take the armed forces to smash the sugar factory and make a big fuss? So that everything is reported back to the United States and everyone knows about it?"

  Stephen walked in from the outside: "Uh...Unfortunately, I just called and my grandfather hasn't died yet, otherwise I can use the money to buy the front pages of all American newspapers and publish everything that happened here."

   "Chris, what do you think?" Tommy asked the young man in a cowboy hat. He felt that among these people, this guy who liked to study probability and numbers was probably the only one who had similar views with him.

  Chris shook his head: "I don't think they should be confused. It is one thing for American sugar factories to evade taxes and squeeze workers. It is another thing for the United States to fail to fulfill its promises. They need to be resolved separately."

"If the Americans know who we are now, what do you think they will think? Do they really care that we are the prime minister and various cabinet ministers?" Tommy picked up an onion ring and threw it into his mouth, then wiped the blood on his hands Oil stains, asked several people.

  David Shaffer said in a firm tone: "Stop making trouble, buddy. If they find out, they will only treat us as a joke. They can't find this country on the globe without a magnifying glass."

"Everything that happened to this country is very tragic, but in order to ensure enough attention, we have to turn it into a comedy first, believe me, Americans don't care about the life and death of other countries, they only like to see what they want to see Fun, I just like to see that Americans are the most superior existence on this earth, and Americans save everything." Tommy Hawke rubbed his face vigorously, and looked at several people:

  "We need to trample on the dignity of this country, make fun of Americans who know nothing, give them what they like to see first, wait for their appetite, and then bring out what they don't want to see."

   "Comedy? A group of black people started working due to loan sharks. The Americans took away the country's sugar industry and refused to fulfill the contract to provide financial assistance. How can it be interpreted as a comedy?" Kevin said angrily.

  Tommy Hawk looked around at the people in front of him: "Has anyone been on a TV show?"

   "Me? In order to look good on my resume, my father once arranged for me to host a campus program on Nickelodeon." Seeing that no one else responded, Catherine said.

Nickelodeon Children's Channel is a children's TV channel established in 1979 by CBS Television Network of Paramount Corporation of the United States. It is not only well-known among teenagers, but many adults also watch the sitcoms and interesting news programs produced by this channel, such as the famous "SpongeBob SquarePants" is produced by this channel.

Ordinary teenagers want to appear on the programs of this channel to show themselves and increase their eye-catching aura. It is very simple, just pay. Although the TV station will not directly collect money for the population, there are a lot of intermediary companies that help the TV station to recommend outstanding teenagers. Provide American elite teenagers with the opportunity to appear on TV shows. As for how they share their bills with the TV station in private, the rich who send their children to the show don't care, and the poor who don't have the money to send their children to the show don't care either.

"Your father is really willing to invest in your education. When I won the first place in the state league, Nickelodeon invited me to participate in their sports variety show. At that time, the intermediary company would charge my father five hundred yuan for promotion. Please, The No. 1 high school wrestler in New York State has to pay the TV station 500 yuan to appear on the screen." Kevin said in a shocked tone when he heard Catherine's words.

  David Shaffer asked Kevin: "So you went?"

   "If I had gone, I would have shown off when the poor ghost asked me just now." Kevin replied frankly.

Tommy Hawke said: "OK, Catherine, I need you to arouse the other party's curiosity. A group of American high school students rule this country in the Caribbean, helping black people who are backward and abandoned by Britain get on the right track. If you need to pay the other party Ken is here to shoot material, just tell me I'll apply to Lincoln High for a promotional fee."

   "Let them take pictures of the troubles this country has encountered?" Catherine rarely gave Tommy Hawk a face of approval, and asked with surprise at this time.

"No, when you introduce, you want to attribute all the problems of this country to the British. The black people here are uneducated, poor, and don't even understand taxes, education, or even what the Olympics mean. The most pitiful thing is , Britain also abandoned them, in short, describe this poor country as hapless clowns, and we are American high school students who help these clowns by coincidence, tell them some jokes... Dennis! I will let Dennis help you, This guy knows what exaggeration is." Tommy Hawke picked up the cigarette case and threw it at Dennis who was dozing off with his eyes closed in the corner, Dennis raised his head blankly, and Tommy said to him:

   "Help Catherine fool the Nickelodeon photographers, reporters, or anyone else. In short, you follow Catherine's orders. Now you can go out and think about how to tell stories to interest them."

   Waiting for Catherine and Dennis to leave, Tommy looked at Chris: "Do you think the Minister of Taxation is willing to cooperate with you and play an idiot who can't understand numbers in the eyes of Americans?"

"I think if we have a way to fix this country's troubles, he might be willing to pay more than play an idiot." After Chris finished speaking, he stood up and walked out: "I can teach him now, or say , in my eyes, he has always been an idiot."

  Tommy looked at Zooey: “Have you tried calling the American embassy before?”

  "I tried it. A temporary employee answered the phone and told me in a perfunctory tone that he would help record my question and pass it on to Mr. Ambassador." Zoe breathed out: "That tone made me want to get angry."

  Tommy said: "I know, I know, be patient, show your ladylike side, in front of the camera, continue to make phone calls, make normal records, and I will give you a chance to get angry."

   "It's better like this." Zooey stood up and walked out the door: "You don't want to see me get angry."

  Stephen looked at Tommy: "Is there anything I can help? But before my grandfather passed away, I couldn't help much."

"Stephen..." Tommy looked at Stephen: "You are the only real elite high school student among us who is recognized by American society. Although the next words are not friendly to myself and others, I still want to say , the countless clown acts we did, all kinds of farce, are all to finally send you to the Washington stage in a dignified way, get ready, man."
