America 1982

Chapter 60

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

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

Tommy Hawke shook his head: "No, David, that will really destroy this country. What we have to think about is solving this problem through normal channels. According to your plan, the United States originally owed this country money, Originally, the American sugar mills were evading taxes, but because you did something wrong, you gave the United States the best opportunity to break the contract. We cannot do anything wrong. This country is not as big as a rural town in the United States. Its error tolerance rate is zero. It has not committed any crimes. Wrong, the United States can already ignore the contract. If it really does something to harm the United States, guess what retaliatory measures the United States can use?"

"What about newspapers? Let's make a batch of newspapers and distribute them in the United States to let Americans know everything that happens here?" Zoe said.

Catherine had a sullen face: "Maybe we don't need newspapers. Why don't we bring the armed forces to destroy the sugar factory and make the matter bigger? Let everything spread back to the United States and let everyone know about it?"

Stephen walked in from outside: "Uh... Unfortunately, I just made a phone call. My grandfather has not passed away yet. Otherwise, I could have used 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 the cowboy hat. He felt that among these people, the only one who had similar views to his was this guy who liked to study probability and numbers.

Chris shook his head: "I don't think they should be confused. U.S. sugar mills evading taxes and exploiting workers is one thing. The U.S.'s failure to fulfill its promises is another thing and needs to be addressed separately."

"If the Americans know our current identity, what do you think they will think? Will 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 his hands. Oil stains, asked several people.

David Schaeffer said with certainty: "Stop it, buddy, if they know about it, they will just treat us as a joke. They can't even find this country on the globe without a magnifying glass."

"What happened to this country is very tragic, but in order to ensure that we win 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 hard and looked at a few people:

"We need to trample on the dignity of this country, make Americans who know nothing more laugh, give them what they like to see first, whet their appetite, and then show them what they don't want to see."

"Comedy? A group of black people owe loan sharks to start work. The Americans have robbed 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 unhappily.

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

"Me? In order to look better on my resume, my father once arranged for me to host a campus program on Nickelodeon." Seeing no reaction from the others, Catherine said.

Nickelodeon is a children's television channel established in 1979 by the CBS Television Network of the American Paramount Company. It is not only famous among teenagers, but many adults also watch the sitcoms and interesting news programs produced by this channel, such as the famous "SpongeBob SquarePants" is a product of this channel.

Ordinary teenagers want to appear on this channel's programs to show themselves and increase their reputation. It's very simple. Just pay. Although the TV station will not directly collect money to implement the population, there are a lot of intermediary companies that help the TV station recommend outstanding teenagers. Help American elite teenagers have the opportunity to appear on television programs. As for how they split their accounts with the television stations privately, the rich people who send their children to the program do not care, nor do the poor people who have no money to send their children to the program.

"Your father is really willing to invest in your education. When I won first place in the state league, Nickelodeon invited me to participate in their sports variety show. At that time, the agency had to charge my father 500 yuan in promotional fees. Please, The number one high school wrestler in New York State has to pay five hundred dollars to the TV station to appear on the show." Kevin said in a shocked tone after hearing what Catherine said.

David Shafer asked Kevin: "So you went?"

"If I had gone, I would have already shown off when the poor guy asked about it just now." Kevin answered candidly.

Tommy Hawke said: "OK, Catherine, I need you to arouse each other's curiosity. A group of American high school students rule this country in the Caribbean and help the backward and abandoned black people by the British get on the right track. If you need to pay for the talents, Ken’s here to shoot footage, just tell me and I’ll apply for promotional money from Lincoln High School.”

"Let them film the troubles this country is experiencing?" Catherine rarely gave Tommy Hawke a look of recognition, and asked with surprise at this time.

"No, when you introduce it, you want to blame all the problems in this country on the British. The black people here are uneducated and poor. They don't even understand taxes, education, or even what the Olympics means. The most pitiful thing is , Britain abandoned them, in short, describing this poor country as hapless clowns, and we are the American high school students who coincidentally help these clowns, tell them some jokes...Dennis! 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 in the corner with his eyes closed. Dennis raised his head blankly, and Tommy said to him:

"Help Catherine deceive Nickelodeon photographers, reporters or others. In short, you listen to Catherine's instructions. Now you can go out and think about how to tell stories to interest them."

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

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

Tommy looked at Zoe: "Have you tried calling the American Embassy before?"

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

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

"It's best this way." Zoe stood up and walked towards the door: "You don't want to see me angry."

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

"Stephen..." Tommy looked at Stephen: "You are the only one of us recognized by American society as a true elite high school student. Although what you say next is not friendly enough to myself and others, I still want to Say, we have done countless clowns and all kinds of farce, just to finally send you to the stage in Washington, so be ready, man."
