Back to 1995

"Song, I knew that you never disappoint people. Combining the Internet and the lottery is definitely a genius idea..."

Song Yang sat in the car and went to a press conference site in New York. This was the new product launch conference of Apple Computer, and it was also the first machine officially launched after Jobs returned to Apple. As a member of Apple's board of directors, Song Yang in New York , naturally also received the invitation.

The one who called Song Yang was Adrian, who was preparing to run for the governorship of Texas. The little cowboy was about to run for the general election, and the governorship of Texas was also vacant.

As a hard-core voter of the Elephant Party, for congressmen from the Elephant Party, the governorship of Texas is definitely a piece of fat. Compared with competing for the governorship of other states, Texas does not need Competing with the donkey party, as long as you get out of the elephant party, you can ascend to the throne, the difficulty is not the same.

Like Adrian, there are not a few people who are eyeing this position, and many of them are much older than Adrian, so during this time, Adrian is also quite active, frequently appearing on Houston TV, ICNC, NBC TV station, etc., made various remarks to increase their popularity.

It was Adrian who called Song Yang today, and Song Yang naturally understood why he made this call.

"Bruno Yankee Sports is run by the Hank and Steinbrenner families!"

Song Yang said to Adrian on the other end of the phone, anyway, Song Yang would not admit that the tricks played by Bruno Yankee Sports Company had anything to do with him.

Adrian didn't care too much, he was already familiar with Song Yang's style, and Song Yang always pushed away those things that might cause trouble, even if it was very profitable.

In the same way, everyone knows how much money Internet lottery can make. Basically, there is no profit at all. America does not recognize the legality of Internet lottery, nor does it have a federal law that stipulates that it is illegal. It may take several years to determine it. This thing is not allowed after all.

But by the time the federal law actually appears, the Bruno Yankee Sports Company will have made a lot of money long ago, and America can continue to play in Europe and other regions.

No one can deny the money-absorbing ability of this thing!

"Song, I want to know, whether Bruno Yankee Sports' Internet lottery business is the same as Sammy Sega, and the proceeds will be distributed to those "investors" in America?"

Adrian asked on the other end of the phone, and Matthews, the chief of staff sitting in his office, also raised his head.

"Of course," Song Yang said without thinking too much, "Just like Sammy Sega's billiard room business, Bruno Yankee Sports Company's lottery business will also be distributed to "investors"!"

After getting a satisfactory answer, Adrian smiled. Sammy Sega's billiard room business, a considerable part of the income, was distributed to the Federal Foreign Affairs Commission, the Federal Trade Commission, and various congressmen from the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party. , as a "subsidy" for their small coffers.

Sammy Sega's billiard room income, starting from the second half of last year, issued the first dividend, and directly distributed billions of dollars, like the family foundation established by Adrian's wife, received more than one million dollars The billiard room pays dividends, and other members of the Donkey Party and Elephant Party who are in the same position as him also get a lot of money.

And the employees of several departments of the Federal Foreign Affairs Commission, regardless of their positions, have received "subsidies" of tens of thousands of dollars, which is equivalent to their half-year salary!
In this case, even if they know that Sammy Sega is using the billiard room business to cut Japanese leeks, America will act as if nothing happened and support Sammy Sega desperately. Who dares to touch Sammy? Sega's pachinko room business in Japan, just wait for the iron fist from the suzerainty of America to bring justice...

Now an Internet lottery is added. I don’t know if this thing is compliant, but as long as the federal law does not prohibit it, no one can stop Bruno Yankee Sports from issuing Internet lottery in America, or it will be with a large group of congressmen, Tens of thousands of employees in various federal departments are robbing their jobs. Even the MPs on Capitol Hill have to weigh it up. If they dare to stop this matter, will they be shot black on the street!

Song Yang didn't feel bad about sharing a large part of the profits from the billiard room and Internet lottery. The money was too hot to swallow alone.

Bruno Yankee Sports Company created the Internet lottery to increase revenue. Playing the copyright of sports events is very expensive. The initial investment is very large. It needs to find a way to make money in order to survive in the future!
Originally entering the Japanese billiard room industry to cut leeks was to win over contacts and supporters in America, and now the Internet lottery is issued, and the same is true.

Although there has not been a behemoth alliance of interests like the military-industrial complex and the medical complex in America, a community of interests is also being formed with the help of the billiard room and the Internet lottery. It is still inconspicuous, but after a few years, More and more federal congressmen and employees of federal departments will be involved. Anyone who wants to move this piece of fat has to weigh it. Song Yang's supporters will also continue to increase!

Houston, after hanging up the phone, Adrian showed a smile on his face and said to Matthews, "Song, there is no need to worry, he absolutely supports us!"

Song Yang can get the proceeds from the Internet lottery, which is also a huge benefit for Adrian. He can use this to win more Xiang Party members to support him.

Many seemingly insignificant things can confluence into rivers, and they can also set off huge waves. The same is true for running for governor of Texas. The people around you should also express it.

In the same way, it can also sell favors to Nevada and Las Vegas. Internet lottery has a great impact on these places. This is an annual global income of 5000 trillion dollars. You can earn a lot of money, who doesn't want to get involved?
Matthews nodded, his always sullen face was rarely relaxed when he mentioned Song Yang, "The Bruno family has borne most of the funds for your campaign for the governor of Congressman Adrian, We don’t need to worry about funding, but this time the governor’s election, Adrian, you must win!”

Listening to the "reminder" from the chief of staff, Adrian nodded, he knew what Matthews meant.

It is true that Song Yang and Adrian have a very close relationship. Everyone in America now knows that Adrian is bound to Song Yang. Song Yang has never been stingy with Adrian. Funding, various charitable donations every year, and employment positions are almost responsive.

But Song Yang's promotion speed is too fast, and his value is also soaring too fast, and if Adrian can't climb up, the help to Song Yang may become smaller and smaller, even within a few years, Song Yang They will fully support him, but if Adrian is still in Houston after a few years, it is hard to say whether there will be other powerful figures to replace Adrian!

"I know what to do!"

Adrian said in a cold voice, in the past few years, he has climbed not slowly at all, from a Houston congressman to a Houston mayor, this time with a huge amount of campaign funds, he went to fire and annex Texas If the position of governor is successful, then he will also become a new star within the Elephant Party. Adrian may not be able to walk the path that the little cowboy has walked!
The car parked in front of a hotel in New York, where Apple's product launch event was held. In order to increase its influence, Apple spent a lot of energy and money this time, and invited a large number of media and reporters. In order to make the new computer a hit.

For the new model of computer, Jobs cut off multiple product lines of Apple, and if he failed, he would die. If this new product fails, then the entire Apple will probably fall into a half-dead state again.

At the entrance of the hotel, a lot of media and reporters gathered, welcoming Jobs' Apple back, there are still a lot of topics.

"Song, what do you think of Apple's new computer iMac?"

"You are now Apple's largest individual shareholder. If the iMac computer fails, Song, will you sell Apple's stock?!"
