America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 322 A Good Show

  October 5th.

   Twenty-six days have passed since the 9/11 incident.

  It was about seven o'clock this evening.

  Several TV stations under Bloomberg, as well as AMC TV under Smith Media, jointly launched a pseudo-documentary program.

  In this program, the pseudo-documentary shooters use various lyrical techniques.

  The more than two hundred years of Manhattan's history from its birth to the present is interpreted to the audience in a way of moral kidnapping.

  When the number of viewers was not very large at the beginning.

  I thought it was a special documentary about Manhattan launched by the TV station.

  During the middle of the documentary, a scene that shocked and saddened countless Americans appeared.

  The moment when the proud Twin Towers collapsed, reappeared on TV.

  At the end of the TV, the pseudo-documentary shooter directly listed the data line by line.

   These data include the number of permanent residents on the island of Manhattan before the September 11 incident, as well as the number of permanent residents on the island after the incident.

   And companies that evacuated because of it, and the number of people who permanently left the island of Manhattan because of it.

   At the end of this pseudo-documentary, the famous American dubbing master Don Lafontaine dubbed the entire pseudo-documentary.

   His lyrical and sentimental voice sounded—

   “We loved this city so much. We loved its prosperity, and its prosperity is like our country—strong and prosperous.”

  "But it encountered the most unforgivable violation, and those KB elements hurt it. As the people who maintain the existence of this city, we didn't think about saving it, but instead wanted to escape from it."

   "It breaks my heart. Manhattan needs you, New York needs you, America needs you."

   "Brave, Strong, Free Americans!"

   In the lyrical sound of Don Lafontaine's aria, the pseudo-documentary ends.

  This documentary is not very good.

   Due to time constraints and urgent tasks, it can even be said to be rough.

  Many clips in it are even in black and white—video materials from the last century were used.

  Most of the content is edited from various clips.

  The last content is all the latest interviews and shooting pictures related to major events, which seem more real.

  From the shooting technique to the quality of the documentary, it can be said that it is very rough.

   If the score is out of 10, at most five or six points.

  But its appearance has caused the ratings of several TV stations to climb very high.

  The main key is most Americans at this time.

   Still immersed in the sadness of 9/11, not out yet.

  Its appearance at this time undoubtedly uncovered the scars in many people's hearts.

  The pseudo-documentary program, according to the ratings of many TV stations, has a total of 8 million people.

   Not a lot, but not too little either.

   Later at 11 o'clock, when it was replayed.

  The ratings have been greatly improved.

  Bloomberg TV and two channels of AMC TV.

   Calculated a ratings of about 25 million people.

  This means that almost one out of every four American households has watched this slightly crude pseudo-documentary program.

  The following day.

   October 6, 2001.

  A large number of reporters gathered in front of the Woolworth Building (rename change application failed).

  Among these reporters, there are reporters from major newspapers in the United States, such as "New York Times", "Wall Street Journal", "Los Angeles Times" and so on.

   There are reporters from major TV stations and TV networks, such as NBC TV, CBS TV, ABC TV and so on.

   Yesterday, news broke—at a time when many large companies want to evacuate Lower Manhattan.

   New Yorker from Texas. The world's richest man, freshly released this year, is one of the most famous celebrities in the city.

  Dear Mr. Abel Smith, he swims upstream.

  He chose to have his own office, and the headquarters of all his companies.

   All moved to the "dangerous" island of Manhattan.

   Migrate to the Woolworth Building, which is less than 800 meters away from the accident site.

   At this time when many Wall Street giants chose to move out of Wall Street.

  Smith Capital and Abel Smith would rather take risks and choose to return to "the most dangerous place".

  As soon as this news came out yesterday, it attracted the attention of media workers.

  Because too many reporters came, some onlookers appeared.

   The relationship with Abel has always been very good, the New York Police Department is too good.

   Therefore, a large number of police officers were specially sent to help maintain order.

   Having said that, as long as it is anything that concerns Smith and happens in New York.

  When the police were needed, each of these New York policemen worked very hard.

  Who said that since last year, Smith is always the first in the list of NYPD charitable donors?

  To mention a digression-beginning at the end of last year, it is said that 9 "retired" NYPD members chose to join Mr. Smith's rock security.

  These former members of NYPD have received very good preferential treatment.

  For example, the salary is 50% higher than when working in New York. There are also more perfect dental insurance and other benefits than any public servant.

   At least half of these "retired" personnel are low-level police officers.

so.

NYPD's 77 branches, 12 traffic branches, 9 housing police and police service jurisdictions, 34,000 official police officers, 18,000 civilian personnel, 4,000 police officers, 5,000 school security personnel, 2,300 Traffic police, and 350 traffic law enforcement supervisors—they all expressed their willingness to safeguard the personal safety and property interests of friendly citizens like Mr. Smith!

  The onlookers gathered in front of the Woolworth Building, as well as a large number of reporters and photographers.

   It was also discovered that the New York policemen who appeared around the Woolworth Building today.

   There are more of them than usual when the mayor comes out to make inspections!

  “.How come there are so many police officers.”

  The special correspondent of NBC Universal TV could not help but say to his cameraman.

  The photographer also complained: "The number of these policemen feels more than when the general came to New York."

   Another reporter wearing a CBS television vest uniform smiled and said:

   "In New York, who doesn't know the relationship between Mr. Smith and NYPD? This situation is very normal!"

   "Okay. I actually know." NBC TV reporter said.

  The CBS reporter glanced at his NBC uniform vest and couldn't help saying:

   "I heard that Mr. Smith has always wanted to buy your TV station. Dude, maybe you can work for him in the future."

"We do want to." The NBC reporter shrugged, "I heard that Mr. Smith only needs to buy a company. His first step in the new company is to give everyone a 10% salary increase. I also want to raise salary, but unfortunately at present It hasn’t come true so far.”

  The photographer of CBS also wants to say a few words. Anyway, they are all colleagues. They often meet each other on weekdays.

   At this time, under the **** of many New York police officers on motorcycles.

  At the corner not far away, there are a large number of vehicles coming here.

   At the head is a Cadillac SUV with a New York police badge, and there are many Cadillac sedans behind it.

  The Cadillac SUV with the police badge and the license plate number "NYC-911".

  Many local journalists in New York know that this is the car of New York Police Chief John Klick.

  Even Klick came, and the reporters cheered up. Everyone wondered whether Mr. Mayor would come.

  The answer is - no.

  In front of the convoy, a Cadillac modified police car with the license plate number "NYC-911" slowly came to the entrance of the Woolworth Building and stopped.

  Click Chief. Bureau. Long and generous figure, got out of the car.

  He, dressed in a police uniform, smiled and waved at the reporters and photographers.

   Then "NYC-911" left, and Klick stood on the entrance steps of the Woolworth Building, looking around with mighty eyes.

  The convoy continued to move forward, and many strong figures in suits and leather shoes came down from the bodies of several Cadillac cars.

   Some of them scattered around, and some stood beside Klick.

   Someone who knew these tall men in suits recognized several of them as bodyguards who often appeared beside Abel.

   Immediately, a reporter whispered: "Mr. Smith is coming! His bodyguards have all appeared!"

   Sure enough, the next moment.

   A Cadillac "monster" that looks exactly like the latest car of the owner of the white house, parked steadily on the side of the spacious road separated by the New York police, security personnel and the isolation zone.

   "Is the commander of the small bush coming?" A reporter exclaimed.

   "Which newspaper or TV station are you from? You have no knowledge at all! Don't you know that Abel Smith also owns a Cadillac monster?" Another reporter next to him said.

  Cadillac Monster is the American name for the new generation of Cadillac flagship sedan.

  The White House's newest Army One, before the Stars and Stripes, was known as the Cadillac Monster.

  What the reporters didn't know was Abel's monster Cadillac. It is completely the owner of the white house, the one that has only been used for a month.

  After hearing that he liked it, George gave the car to Abel directly under a special name.

   Don’t even have to buy it, the license plate is still on the DC side

   It's just that the Stars and Stripes cannot be hung, and it cannot be called Army One.

   But essentially it's Army One.

   As for George himself, he could just have another Cadillac convert it.

   It’s just a refitted car paid for by the treasury. Even if everyone makes money, it means that there will be one or two million dollars missing in the treasury.

   The Cadillac monsters that came to a stop came down two tall and more than two meters tall, who looked more like NHL players.

   One of them is black and one is white.

  The two blocked any view of the car door until the two stood still.

  The door of the car was opened, and Abel's figure appeared.

   After he appeared, in an instant.

  The camera and flash are like the sound of raindrops hitting the roof when it is raining heavily.

   Crazy sounded.

  Then everyone looked at Abe Smith and walked towards Crick with a smile on his face.

   On the steps of the Woolworth Building, the two shook hands with a smile and hugged each other. They seemed to have a very close relationship, which reflected the love of fish and water among New York police officers.

  The matter was not over yet, and vehicles stopped one after another, and many employees of Smith Capital got out of the car with smiles on their faces.

  Under the cameras of the reporters, they all looked very happy holding their personal office items, spared Abel and Klick in the front, and walked into the Woolworth Building one after another.

  After dozens of people walked in, the reporters finally had the opportunity to take a few steps forward and interview Chief Director Abel and Klick.

   But the only ones who can obtain this kind of interview rights are those major TV stations and newspapers.

   The first person to get an interview was Ma Liwen, a reporter from AMC TV station.

   "Hello, Director General Click. I would like to ask a question, why does NYPD give so much support to Mr. Smith's relocation?"

  Click replied: "Because this is the responsibility of NYPD! We want to protect all New Yorkers, we swear!"

  "New York Observer" reporter Ashley interviewed Abel—

   "Mr. Smith, when so many entrepreneurs and financiers are fleeing Manhattan. Why did you come back instead? You must know that you had already moved your headquarters out last year!"

Abe smiled and replied: "I left last year because I hated the traffic in Manhattan. But I will always love Manhattan. When I hear that someone has abandoned it, I don't think I can stand by. In my good friend Michael Bloomberg At Greg's advice, I decided to return to Manhattan."

  Abel is here, ignoring him in May.

  As announced to the public, Smith Capital would have returned to Manhattan to work at the end of this year.

   At this time, it was the turn of Bloomberg reporters to perform.

   "Mr. Smith, you just said that it was Mr. Bloomberg's suggestion? What advice did Mr. Bloomberg give you?"

"Oh, Michael, he said to me." Abel smiled, facing many cameras and cameras, "He said that New York is the best city in the world, and the citizens of New York are the best citizens in the world. And the island of Manhattan , is an integral part of New York. When everyone else abandons Manhattan, New Yorkers cannot abandon Manhattan."

   "As a New Yorker. Michael said he and his company, would never leave New York, never leave Manhattan. He suggested that I do the same."

   "I think what he said is right. So I chose to return to Manhattan from Queens!"

  A reporter from the American Sun suddenly asked:

   "Mr. Smith, I remember you as a Texan. Now you say you are a New Yorker. What's going on?"

   "I am indeed from Texas. In fact, most New Yorkers come from all over the United States. But I think no matter where you are, as long as you come to New York, you are a New Yorker. New York welcomes everyone!" Abel responded with a smile.

  The interview lasted for half an hour, and reporters kept asking questions.

  But those who are interested only need to observe a little bit, and they will find reporters who have the opportunity to ask questions.

  Either they are reporters from various subsidiaries and newspapers under Smith Media.

  Either it is a reporter under Bloomberg.

   Highlight a word "Tuo".

  The overall interview effect is naturally all kinds of tall.

  Cooperate with these questions that the reporters have studied for days and nights, and the standard interview answers after the questions.

  Normal ordinary Americans who don’t know, saw today’s interview.

   Most of them will appear with several impressions.

for example

  Mr. Smith loves New York and is willing to risk returning to Manhattan.

  Another example. Mr. Bloomberg is an important presence in prompting Mr. Smith to return to Manhattan.

  or. New York is alive and well, and mourning will only make New York work harder.

Etc., etc.

  In the end, it is Mr. Smith and Mr. Bloomberg.

  So when this "big show" ends.

  The fifty-second floor of the Smith Building that Abel mentioned.

  The total area is about 323 square meters, in the office at the top of the building.

  After watching the interview tapes sent by the staff of Bloomberg and AMC TV.

  Bloomberg, who didn’t show up the whole time, but appeared in Crick and Abel’s mouth the whole time, was in a happy mood.

"all of these."

  Bloomberg folded his hands together, pursed his lips tightly, with a happy expression, and applauded gently:

   "It's perfect! It's really perfect! What a great interview. I think it will definitely make Americans or New Yorkers who see it renew their confidence and love for this city!"

  Looking at the old guy so happy that he was about to jump up.

   Abel shook his head with a smile, and looked at the New York Director General Crick next to him.

   "All this is due to Bernard. His answer just now is much more ingenious than mine."

  Click quickly smiled and said: "No, no. Mr. Smith is the real core. The reporters are all focusing on him."

  Bloomberg laughed, "Both of you are very nice! It's perfect!"

  Abel and Klick smiled at each other with relaxed expressions.

  Click's full name is Bernard Click.

  Click served as a U.S. military policeman in Hanoi in the 1970s.

  Hmm. Not long ago, he was deported from Han country for a crime of drinking and driving.

  The member of the U.S. military who returned to the United States, the member's immediate boss, used to be Klick's subordinate.

  After Klick left Han, he went to the Kingdom of Tessa to work as a security guard for local politicians.

  In 1986, he started working at NYPD and was promoted to Director General last year.

  After the major incident, the courage and sacrifice shown by the New York police and firefighters in distress have been widely praised by the public.

  However, the chaotic communication and coordination ability among various units has also been questioned by the media.

  Click is not very happy. After all, he just took office last year, and not long after he took office, this kind of thing happened.

  Click felt that he really couldn’t be blamed, and he did his best.

   With such an appearance today, Klick can get some benefits to some extent.

  It can give him some positive comments among reporters and ordinary people.

  Plus the deep relationship with Abel, and the reason why Bloomberg replaced Giuliani this year will be the new Elephant Party candidate.

  Click will lead the NYPD today to support Abel, and come up with such a huge lineup.

   So far, it seems that this drama is well completed.

  The next step is mainly to see how ordinary people in New York, as well as audiences in other parts of the United States, evaluate this good show.

  If the evaluation is better, then all three people present can benefit.

  Like Klick, his negative evaluation due to the September 11 incident will obviously be reduced, and he will not be constantly scolded by New Yorkers.

  Like Bloomberg, he can win a large number of voters, which will be of great help to his campaign this year.

  As for Abel, it is estimated that New York, or should I say Manhattan, will become his home in the future.

   Besides, it doesn’t matter if it’s not finished.

   Today he mainly helps Bloomberg.

  Anyway, he has to go back to Manhattan Island to work, and spend an extra morning to act in such a play.

   For him, it was just a matter of convenience.

   NYPD is the abbreviation of TheNewYorkPoliceDepartment, the abbreviation of New York Police Department.
