America 1982

On Friday, May 6, 1988, after more than a year of preparation, the BT TV network finally officially launched.

Relying on 112 cooperative TV stations, BT TV’s programs reach 37 states and 102 cities.

In the BT TV studio, one hundred and twelve color TV screens showed everyone in the studio in real time what programs the one hundred and twelve TV stations were pushing to the audience at the moment.

At 18:29:59, Tommy pressed the start button.

As the start button was pressed, the one hundred and twelve screens spread across the studio walls immediately changed from chaos to unity. The pure black screen displayed the words BTTV and the channel LOGO, with a phrase below.

"Be Tale Crazy".

That is the promotional phrase of BT TV station, embedded with the two letters BT representing the TV station, and also indicating the style of BT TV station.

Pungent, exciting, against tradition, and walking on the edge of morality and law.

All the BT TV employees in the studio applauded vigorously. They have worked hard for so long to get to this day.

After the TV station logo was displayed, the screen changed to a brightly lit news studio. A middle-aged black man of at least 250 pounds pressed his left forearm on the table and stared at it with a pair of round eyes. The camera started the "Black News Today" program. Even though the director signaled that he had started, he still methodically took the last sip of the straw and drank up the Coke. Then he put the Coke under the table and said with a calm expression:

"Welcome to BTTV, this is "Black News Today". I know that everyone in front of the TV is confused at this time. First of all, I want to say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with your TV. Don't worry about paying someone to repair it. , Secondly, suppress the urge to pick up the phone and call the police. I am definitely not a terrorist who hijacked the TV station. I am a news anchor. Look, this is my work ID. It says, Kevin Cedric, BTTV News The chief anchor of the channel, the unwritten duties actually include VIP large-spending customers of the KFC fried chicken restaurant opposite the BT TV station, and the best potential customers in the eyes of the sales consultant of the Madison Gym diagonally opposite the BT TV station."

"This is BTTV, niggas' own TV station, "Black News Today," a news program that I, the nigga, calls the shots and really cares about you niggas, let's make a long story short, anyway, you will see it at this time every day. I, so don’t be like those presidents and secretaries of state who are hypocritically greeting you through the screen. Let’s be more practical. Let me first broadcast the first news that I think is very important to black people. If you are a black person, it is absolutely important."

"More than twenty years ago, on September 15, 1963, the bombing that occurred at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, black people over the age of 40 should still remember that several white KKK members The place was detonated with explosives. Four cute little black girls died in the explosion. More than 20 black compatriots were injured and hospitalized. So many years have passed. If those four thirteen-year-old girls were still alive, they would also be with us this year. I am the same age, and I am sitting happily on the sofa, watching TV with my family. You may say, of course we remember that their sacrifices were not in vain. Kevin, Martin Luther King, and many black people organized marches for them back then. The government finally bowed to the voices of black people and introduced various affirmative action laws. Their sacrifices were not in vain..."

"Let me tell you the truth that other TV stations will never tell you niggas. That is that early this morning, the chief criminal of the bombing died in a nursing home. He lived to be 81 years old. He did not die from electric shock or death. He didn't even spend a day in jail for the death of four little black girls and for the more than 20 black people who were injured in the bombing. Not even a day! He used all kinds of legal loopholes and insufficient evidence to pretend He used excuses such as illness and inciting public opinion to delay the trial for more than 20 years. From the beginning to the end, he never apologized for killing black people. He eventually died in a nursing home. It is said that more than two hundred white activists visited him before his death. Visit him, the nursing home also prepared hospice care for him, and hired a priest to help him ascend to fucking heaven..."

"Honestly, when my editor told me the news, I thought he was lying? How is this possible? We live in the fucking United States? My editor looked at me seriously and said, why is it impossible? We live in fucking America!"

"Tell me, apart from my show, in which newspaper, which TV station news program, which radio program have you heard and seen this news? Do you now understand the importance of seeing me every day? About black people the truth.”

"Because I'm going to tell you something that white people never want us to know, and want us niggas to remain clueless idiots forever, and I'm not going to let them succeed. That's what I'm on TV for. I'm going to tell you the truth that every black person has a right to know, and then, the second piece of news..."

While others were still staring at the screen, Tommy quietly turned around and walked out of the studio.

From the moment he founded the TV station, he knew that the black people at the bottom would not reject the programs he carefully prepared. He believed that when most white families were still the main consumers, other TV networks would not completely ignore white people like him. The audience group has turned to spending heavily to create a series of self-made programs around black people, even if it is FOX.

All the employees, including Sophia, were staring at the TV and had no time to notice Tommy's departure. Tommy walked along the stairs and slowly walked up to the terrace.

On the terrace, Susan, Jim and Actor’s earliest angel investor, Tommy’s Stanford SSD alumnus Benjamin Rosen, had a TV set in front of them. At the moment, they were watching the BT TV series that had just launched with great interest. Black News Program.

"I'm curious where Tommy found this kind of news. If I didn't miss it, it seems that none of the news newspapers I subscribed to mentioned this news today." Jim Mantz, CEO of KeyBank, sat in front of the TV. Watching the black host Kevin inside broadcasting the news, he asked the two of them with some confusion:

"I don't know if you know this, but I know how to do evening news programs on free television networks. When I was at McKinsey, I was exposed to the network's consulting business. In this kind of news department, all their employees would do the following before going to work in the morning. Buy a copy of all the mainstream newspapers on the market, and then after arriving at the company, the entire news department will meet to discuss various front-page news and vote on which news to include in their news program. The host has a veto power. Let’s put it this way, if There is no news from the Associated Press and major newspapers, and there is no news from the TV network, so the source of Tommy’s first news just now is definitely exclusive, how did this guy find it?”

"My dad told me that a few days ago, one of his co-workers named Wilson received a handwritten reply from the deceased, thanking Wilson for donating five dollars and paying the astronomical bail for him. Now he is about to leave this world. So before he left, he wrote back to everyone who had helped him. After chatting on the phone with me, I thought it would be good to use it as exclusive news. Black people would like this kind of exclusive news." Tommy walked over and stood next to him. The three of them sat down, looked at the screen, and said with a smile.

Benjamin looked at Tommy, who was obviously much more mature. In recent years, thanks to the EFF created by Tommy, his net worth has expanded a lot. Although without EFF, he is confident that he can make money in the computer industry, but he will never make money. It was so easy, and he wouldn’t have his current status in the industry. Seeing Tommy’s eyes, he smiled:

"It requires a large investment and there are risks. You don't want your good friend Stephen to bear it for you, so you find me, an old guy with a worse heart capacity?"

"Benjamin, please, you are my entrepreneurial mentor. In my heart, my feelings for you are like my father's uncle. I treat you as a family member, but you treat me as a person who only knows how to open and shut up and pay money." Materialistic youth? This makes me so sad." After hearing Benjamin's teasing, Tommy opened his arms with an aggrieved face and explained to the other party.

"Let me remind you, Mr. Benson, one time Tommy mentioned in a chat that his father almost sent that uncle to the AIDS research center to treat the deaf for free at the cost of contracting AIDS." Jim smiled evilly and helped Tang. Rice dismantles the situation.

Tommy looked at Jim: "F*ckYou! Jim! Why can't you be hearing-impaired?"

"Because I'm not your great-uncle." Jim looked at Susan, then at Benjamin, and then said to Tommy firmly:

"I guess you didn't invite the three of us here just to congratulate you in person on the successful launch of your black TV station. You'd better say something that interests me. At least it makes me feel that flying from New York to Los Angeles is a waste of time. Well worth the money.”

Seeing that Tommy was about to speak, Jim quickly added:

"I don't care how Benjamin or Susan will reply to you. In short, my attitude is that I don't have money, I don't have people, I don't have anything."

Susan stood up to help Tommy open a beer, walked over and handed it to Tommy, and then said: "Jim, come on, Tommy didn't ask you for money before he was planning the TV station. How could he have this idea again after it starts broadcasting?"

"Is this what this bastard said to you? Didn't he ask me for money before the show started? Do you think he would be willing to take out money from his account to prepare a black TV station? That bastard wouldn't even sleep with a black girl. You actually think he would be willing to give Black people spend money?" Jim took the wine glass and looked at Tommy with an angry face:

"Without KeyBank, would you have been able to survive this long on the money you earned from selling yourself? Tommy?"

Tommy took a sip of beer and looked at Jim with a smile: "I earned the money by selling myself. Jim, that's how great I am. I sold myself to raise money and provide black brothers with the programs they love."

"I'm the one who fucking sold my body. I don't know how many times I sold my body to help you make money. You know, I can't even feel a train entering my body from behind." As Jim spoke, he clapped his two palms together hard, making a snapping sound:

"If the remuneration I earned was not enough to compensate for the psychological damage and repair the physical damage, I would have sued you for forcing the partner to sell his body."

"Jim said he had nothing, but I am different. I have to hear what you have to say before I can decide whether I have money, Tommy." Benjamin waited for Jim to finish and said to Tommy.

He knew that Tommy would not ask him to come to the TV station to be a guest, but if Tommy wanted him to take the money, there must be a reason to attract him.

Tommy picked up Jim's cigarette on the table, lit it and took a puff: "As you can see, my TV career has just started, and the main audience is still the lower-class black people who are not very wealthy, so the income can only be earned by helping advertisers place various advertisements. , and the repayment will be very slow, and if my judgment is correct, my best black friend in the television industry, Wolfe Tucker, will definitely appear on BT TV station in anger tomorrow, not at me, but at Er Those people in Al-Rashi are angry. He will think that those people taught me bad things, because when I hired him, I discussed future development with him countless times. He knew that my idea of ​​BT was definitely not so vulgar. There is no depth, he will definitely come to save me.”

"So, the guy treats you as his best white friend, tapping into the people he trusts, and after witnessing a black man like Earl mislead you, he will try to persuade you to return to the right path, and you take advantage of the fact that he left you Are you ready to throw him a chore?" In order to see Tommy, Jim didn't even drink a drop of wine at night, because he knew that Tommy called him because he needed his help, not because he was drunk. Congratulations, so he was clear-headed. As soon as Tommy finished speaking, he immediately knew that Tommy was going to put the shackles on an unlucky black man.

Tommy looked at Jim with satisfaction and nodded slightly: "Yeah, I'm glad to see that your brain hasn't been destroyed by the alcohol in New York. Jim, Wolfe's team is not suitable for the current channel style of BT TV station at all..."

Although Tommy praised Jim, Jim's reaction was to immediately shake his head and stare:

"I can't listen anymore. I said, no money, no people, nothing. Don't even think about telling me that your first channel has just launched and you will launch a second channel soon!"

"I want to build a 24-hour cable news network. Wolfe Tucker can't be the president, but I think I can leave him a position in the management to help me complete the preliminary preparations. He is very familiar with this job. I've done it three times." Tommy said his thoughts frankly.

Benjamin didn't rush to speak when he heard Tommy's words. If Tommy just wanted to launch a 24-hour news channel immediately, this reason would not persuade him to spend money.

As for Susan, it doesn't matter even more. Anyway, she won't express an opinion and is used to Tommy making decisions. Moreover, her income from EFF is the same as Tommy's. It is handed over to Sophia and entrusted to a Wall Street company to take care of it. Tommy wants her to take it. If the money comes out, I won't let her come over to chat in person because it's not necessary.

Only Jim, although he just said that he would not provide money or people, after Tommy said that he would launch a news television network, he put away his playful expression and looked at Tommy seriously:

"On the plane coming to Los Angeles, I guessed why you called me here. Opening another channel was one of my many guesses, so I also did some homework. CNN officially launched in 1980. As of now, in 1988, It barely managed to reach 11 million subscribers, and a large part of it was due to its good luck. At the scene of the Challenger space shuttle crash in 1986, because other TV stations were not interested in reporting on the scene, CNN, as a TV station, got the exclusive opportunity to report the disaster live. Opportunity, this disaster allowed it to add more than three million subscribers that month. It can be said that if Challenger had not exploded that year, CNN would have closed down long ago. Little Turner was still looking for investment from major Wall Street investment banks last year. How could you not Understand, there are so many 24-hour paid sports channels, paid movie channels, and even paid adult channels in the United States, but the only reason why there are no paid news channels is because the United States simply does not have that much news that can support a TV station 24 hours a day. Non-stop broadcast."

"What Jim said about Little Turner helping CNN find investment on Wall Street, I can testify that it is true." Benjamin added next to him: "CNN's losses are indeed serious."

"Why are we losing money? Why are we looking for investment all over the world? Because CNN's subscription fee is 20 cents a month. Even if we don't consider how much tax it has to pay, it can only recover 2.2 million with 11 million subscribers every month. Even satellite signals The rental fee is not enough, let alone labor expenses." Jim's eyes flickered and he said to Tommy seriously:

"Aside from the Challenger plane crash when CNN happened to be there, what other news can you remember? You can buy a newspaper and see the news, or you can see important news on the free television network's evening news program. Why pay to subscribe to a news channel? The minimum annual satellite rental fee is 30 million, which means that at least 20 million subscribers can be enough to pay the rental fee. 25 million subscriptions can barely break even. Eight years, one thousand and one One million. According to CNN’s development data, it will take 16 years to reach 25 million subscribers. Are you mentally prepared to lose money for 16 years before reaching breakeven? I know you want to become the leader of the American people. With a pair of eyes, I also know that you are staring at FOX and drooling, but FOX is not as eager as you. Just stabilize your current black audience group, and I believe you will also get the attention of those politicians."

Seeing Tommy just looking at him with a smile and saying nothing, Jim smacked his lips and his tone softened slightly:

"Did you know that the average age of CNN's current employees is even less than 25 years old? Why, because CNN can't afford the salary, it can only keep hiring interns, fooling the rookies, and training the inexperienced rookies in six days. Just issue press cards or director cards to let them start working, squeeze them with an hourly wage of 3 US dollars, and deceive them into making big money in the future, and they will be given a share. In fact, they are news directors or reporters who resigned from CNN, other TV networks They won't even consider hiring them because they think their working experience at CNN is just playing house."

"I understand, Jim, I understand that there is a reason why the three major TV networks do not have separate news channels, right?" Tommy smiled and looked at Jim, who looked like he was trying to persuade him sincerely, with a look of gratitude on his face. said.

When Jim saw Tommy's expression, he immediately changed his face and said in a more serious tone: "You don't understand! I know you must have prepared a speech later, I can only live with it! Because I know it will cost a lot of money, and cable TV is not like this A free TV network requires real money to lease satellites. The annual cost of leasing satellite bandwidth is at least 30 million! CNN currently has more than 300 employees, and labor costs are a huge expense? And you! You will never do it yourself When you pay, you will only say to me, Jim, I have a good fucking idea, I just need some money, you come up with a solution... I am your caring nanny, every time you excrete a substance called The shit about a good idea calls me, Jim, come wipe my ass with something called a dollar bill! F*ck!”

Hearing Jim's words, Susan and Benjamin couldn't help but laugh. From Jim's frantic expression and angry tone, they knew that Tommy should have made Jim's position very uncomfortable over the years.

"I don't want to just do domestic news. I mean domestic subscribers are of course also important. My BT TV network is responsible for gathering black people at the bottom. This serious news network attracts domestic subscribers from the middle class and above. But in the early stage, the main group was overseas English-speaking subscribers. I am It is said that every country has its own news TV station, but there seems to be no English news TV network that really reaches the world." Tommy said to the three of them.

Benjamin nodded slightly, and then asked: "Tell me more specifically?"

"The Soviet Union can't last much longer. Newspapers say that independence trends have broken out in the three Soviet Union countries in the Baltic Sea, and rebellions have broken out in the Caucasus. This behemoth, which stands opposite the United States and owns the other half of the earth, is already crumbling. I don't know exactly where. One day, he will die." Tommy took a deep breath from the cigarette:

"When this behemoth collapses, there will be countless major news, such as the independence of each member country, the unification of Germany, the coup in Moscow, and Gorbachev's possible defection to the United States. In short, any news may appear, such major news , as long as our news network becomes the world's premiere two or three times, a large number of regional news stations that cannot obtain news in a timely manner will seek cooperation, and a large number of overseas English subscribers will obediently pay. For those overseas news stations, we will be like Mother, we give them news and they become our children. CBS, the largest television network in the United States, only has more than 300 cooperative television stations, and it is only limited to the United States. But what if we set our sights overseas from the beginning? ?”

Whether it's the Berlin Wall or the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Jim, Susan and Benjamin don't think Tommy is alarmist. In fact, as Tommy said, the Soviet Union is now an old man who is dying. Who knows how long it will take before... After his death, even many American newspapers are now able to discuss the Soviet Union in a relaxed tone. As early as two years ago, in the eyes of Americans, the Soviet Union is no longer the red giant that made the world tremble after just one military exercise a few years ago.

In the eyes of Americans, the Soviet Union is now a country that is somewhat similar to the United States, but worse than the United States. The similarity between them, to ordinary Americans, is that the United States was in a country that most Americans could not find on the map. Vietnam was mired in quagmire, and the Soviet Union was similarly mired in Afghanistan, which most Americans couldn't find on a map.

The Soviet Union's defeat in Afghanistan made most ordinary Americans relieved. The Soviet Union could not even defeat Afghanistan, so it should be unlikely to attack the United States.

Benjamin looked at the host on the TV who was talking endlessly about black news, but he was thinking about Tommy's Global News Network concept in his mind.

As Tommy said, there is indeed no global English news network in the world. The only one that is barely global is the Murdoch Group's news network. It has now achieved nearly 100% success in the United Kingdom in Europe and Australia in Oceania. In a monopoly situation, Thatcher was able to secure her position as the British Prime Minister, thanks to the overwhelming propaganda of the Murdoch Group, which made her voice and appearance appear in front of the British people countless times more than those of her opponents. As for silent Murdoch's hometown, Australia, not to mention, both parties in Australia depend on Murdoch's face. He can decide which candidate will maximize his appearance in front of voters.

But even the ambitious Murdoch Group did not dare to build a global English news television network. Instead, it chose to take a step-by-step approach and completely control public opinion in Australia, making all politicians grovel to him and making sure that he had no worries. After that, he invaded the UK in a big way and fought with the British media companies. Only after he conquered the UK did he dare to use the power of the two countries to land in the United States. Even so, the funders who provided loans to Murdoch were still frightened, because whether it was Australia, Neither the United Kingdom nor the United States can be compared with the United States. This is also true. Murdoch, who has always been successful in Australia and the United Kingdom, is struggling in the United States.

Benjamin believed that Murdoch’s Jewish compatriot didn’t want to, but he didn’t dare. This was because Tommy’s approach was much more risky than taking a steady approach. Murdoch was saddled with nearly 10 billion US dollars in debt and had been financially strapped in the past two years. The Murdoch Group did not dare to try. Benjamin was born on Wall Street. He knew that many investment banks were beginning to consider stopping supporting the Murdoch Group due to its large losses and large cash acquisitions in the past two years.

"The risk is not that big, Tommy, I know you want to bet on big news, just like when CNN was lucky enough to encounter the Challenger plane crash and added more than three million subscribers that month, something like this that attracts global attention I believe that as long as you can be the first to publish major news, you can gain tens of millions of subscribers around the world. But the problem is, you cannot guarantee that your news network will be the first to publish it. How do you know where it is? Big news will happen." Benjamin did not deny Tommy's idea, but just expressed his concerns.

TV media people all know that as long as they are the first to release major news, they can bring in a lot of profits. The problem is that no one knows where the major news will happen, and no one knows what will happen the next day. Maybe your news team is focusing on it. Watching Moscow, waiting for a coup in Moscow that could happen at any time, but maybe, what if the President of the United States is suddenly shot while you are chattering about Moscow in front of the camera?

"This is the second question I want to say, take the initiative." Tommy looked at Benjamin and said:

"I don't know when the Berlin Wall will be dismantled, or when the Soviet Union will die. Maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe ten years later, but I can take the initiative."

"First of all, like CNN, recruit a few young people who have been brainwashed and are willing to endure hardships and love journalism. They don't have to do anything. They fly to Germany and stationed at the Berlin Wall to report. Every day, they will carry out fucking activities around this wall. For news work, I will be more generous than CNN. I will reimburse their air tickets, local accommodation and travel expenses, as long as they ensure that if the news anchors in the studio want to connect to that wall at any time of the day, there are reporters guarding it. There, you have something to say to the camera!”

"Second, clear up public relations. Jim has worked at McKinsey and should be very familiar with this kind of thing. There is no need to get time to demolish the wall. He only needs to clear up East Germany. Whether he spends money or sells his butt, in short, East Germany The government allowed our reporters to be stationed there until the wall was torn down, and because we spent a lot of money, it had to be exclusive. The advantage of this was that other news organizations had a head start in West Germany, and we also Having a starter with another perspective gives us always multiple perspectives.”

"Third, technical support. I have studied the reporter communication equipment of CNN and other well-known news channels in various countries. Their foreign reporters rely on local phone lines to connect to their own studios. If the phone lines are damaged or ordered to be suspended, they Not even a sh*t can be spread, our reporters, each one must be equipped with a portable satellite phone, even if all local communication lines are destroyed, it will not affect the direct transmission of the news back to the studio."

"Think about it, the demolition of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of the two Germanys are not big news to the world. If we are the first to inform the world, of course our subscribers will grow. Sooner or later, the Soviet Union will collapse. Sooner or later, it will happen. The Gulf War is the same. As long as we ensure the first release of such major news two or three times, the news organizations in various countries should know who to cooperate with. The Soviet Union has so many countries that joined. If they become independent one after another, it means that we have many important news. Journalism can do that.”

Jim licked his tongue. Tommy, a bastard, always has this kind of ambition. When you thought he was setting up a black TV station to try to control the black community, he actually wanted much more: "While using overseas records to build a brand name, he also wanted to This will put pressure on the country. If your news network is successful, other TV stations will need to apply for a White House press accreditation, and I think the White House can proactively provide it to you."

"That's right." Tommy nodded without denying it.

"My left hand holds a large number of low-class black viewers in the United States, and my right hand holds the middle- and high-end English-speaking audiences around the world who care about news. If I were a person with political ambitions, I would definitely be proud to have the opportunity to help you." Jim took a deep breath:

"It's not scary if you have money, but it's scary if you know how you want to spend it. So, when is your shit news network going to start broadcasting?"

"That's the problem. I need someone to help me deal with the Soviet Union, do the unblocking work, allow our reporters to be stationed there, and also need to be familiar with the situation there. Frankly speaking, someone has to help me deal with East Germany and the Soviet Union, and ensure that our reporters The team can be stationed in East Berlin, Moscow and various participating countries. Then we also need real experts on Soviet issues and international relations to serve as consultants for the news network to help us judge whether something will happen to us in the near future from the news sent back by foreign reporters every day. If you want to pay attention to the hot events, before that, Wolf Tucker will be responsible for building the framework of this news network, relying on tepid news to barely attract subscribers. When the Berlin Wall falls, he will use preemptive release to officially announce it to the world. Announce our presence." Tommy threw away the cigarette butt, took a sip of beer, and looked at Jim.

Jim cursed under his breath: "I have been to the Soviet Union, and KeyBank also has some charity business in East Germany, so I am the best candidate? I guessed it right again, you need both money and people."

Susan, who had been just listening most of the time without speaking, finally stopped being silent after hearing Tommy's words:

"I think if I need some experts who know the Soviet Union as consultants, I think I have the right person. My associate professor of political science at Stanford University, she has been interested in the Soviet Union when she was a college student at the University of Denver, so for so many years, She has been doing research related to the Soviet Union and she is a very nice person. When I was studying at Stanford University to establish ONE and launch the pig bank, she also gave a lot of advice. If there is news, I think she and her graduate students will be very willing to help, after all, this is equivalent to allowing them to understand the relevant news about the Soviet Union at the first time.”

"Really? An alumnus of Stanford? That's great, otherwise I would have thought that I would have to humbly apologize to Jim and hope that he would help us find suitable candidates from the National Review." Tommy heard Susan's words. , said with some surprise:

"Who is it? Tell me and see if I have attended her class. I shouldn't have. After all, I don't care about politics."

Susan looked at Tommy and said in a relaxed tone: "Ms. Condoleezza Rice, a black female professor who speaks elegantly and gives lively lectures. We have a good relationship. I will send her mail every holiday or anniversary. Greeting card, when I graduated, she happened to be promoted to associate professor, and she specifically discussed this with me and asked me if I would be her first graduate student, with the research direction of Soviet international relations."

When Tommy heard the name coming out of Susan's mouth, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly spread like ripples, and eventually spread all over his face.

"You must have missed what Susan said. The other person is a black man, understand? So don't show that obscene smile of 'I'm hard on'." Jim saw Tommy's expression next to him and said in confusion.

Tommy ignored Jim's words, but said to Susan seriously: "Susan, you know, I think back on all my investments in the past few years, and I found that the most successful case was investing in you."

"Because my words made you hard?" Susan didn't understand why Tommy showed such a smile. At this time, she imitated Jim's tone and asked with a smile.

Tommy didn't deny it: "So be it."

Seeing that Benjamin didn't speak, Tommy looked at him: "Are you interested? Mr. Benson, I remember that you are of Jewish descent. I must talk to you in detail tonight. In addition to you being my entrepreneurial mentor and my SSD The other big reason, besides alumni, is who you are, a Jew on Wall Street.”

Benjamin looked at Tommy with his gray eyes for a while, then said with a wry smile: "Tommy, you prepared Plan B for yourself, but I didn't."

"Yes, of course you didn't." Tommy nodded understandingly: "But I promise, I will never use Plan B."

"You have to give me enough decision-making power, enough." Benjamin exhaled hard and looked at Tommy and said.

Tommy also nodded seriously: "You can distribute it however you want."

"Let Jim and your people run through the basic mode in the early stage. If there is no problem, I will try to help you complete the subsequent binding and symbiosis." After Benjamin finished speaking, he paused for a moment and looked at Tommy again: "Are you sure you still want to do this? Remember what I taught you, Tommy?”

"Every piece of gold flowing on Wall Street has a price tag, but it was deliberately hidden. He also told me to always remember the original purpose. If what I am doing now is not in line with the original idea, then ask Return your heart to its original intention." Tommy made a fist and tapped his heart gently:

"I'm pretty sure what I'm doing now is exactly what I dreamed of."

After listening to Tommy's words, Benjamin nodded and gave a wry smile: "Kid, your American dream seems different from that of normal young people."

"Of course, after all, I love this country more than they do. After talking about work, I want to go home for a swim and then go to bed early. After all, I have to deal with my black friends tomorrow. Good night, everyone." Tommy said on his seat He stood up and smiled at the three of them, then looked at Los Angeles in the night and walked towards the stairs:

"Good night, America. When the sun rises again tomorrow, the black people in this country may start to look a little different because of the existence of BTTV."
