America 1982

St. Petersburg, Florida.

"I also want to appear on live TV, even if it's just a commercial." Jason looked at the messy dressing room, where the makeup artist was putting some cosmetics on his face, and at the same time, Tommy and Tommy who were looking at the line prompts quickly. Susan said with an envious tone.

Mark slowly moved closer to the side and whispered: "Didn't I tell you that I could make you appear in the movie..."

"Go away, Mark! Stay away from me, stay away!" Jason glared at Mark and said, "I will never become an actor! Especially the kind of actor you are talking about!"

Holly folded her arms in the passage and looked at the live broadcast room in the distance. At this time, Bob Costa was sitting in the host's seat in the live broadcast room, promoting a cola drink that is said to be beneficial to weight loss after long-term consumption.

Except for Tommy and Susan, who were invited as guests on the live advertising program designed by Bob, the other three members of the Actor company chose to come to Florida despite their busy schedules. For this reason, Jason and Holly even used The reason for the leave request was naturally because I didn’t want to miss the data from the first TV sales of my own software.

There are two forms of TV shopping. One is scripted and recorded TV commercials, which are very enjoyable and can basically be viewed as short films. The advertising companies in California are like this.

The other is Bob Costa's live broadcast method. The entire live broadcast room is like a TV talk show, with dozens of live viewers sitting below. The host is on the stage recommending and selling various products like a talk show. products, and can also invite guests like a talk show.

Tommy and Susan were the ones Bob specially called to invite them to participate in the first sales live broadcast. In order to sell 10,000 units and earn his first 150,000 in life, Bob designed several versions of sales jokes. In the end, he always felt that other products’ humorous jokes to attract the audience were not eye-catching enough. Finally, he chose conspiracy theories as an entry point. Low-income people believe in various conspiracy theories and like to hear people tell them the truth about so-called conspiracies.

And considering that he was not convincing enough on stage alone, he thought of the colleague named Susan whom Tommy had mentioned to him.

"It's our turn." Seeing that the coke in the live broadcast room had been moved away by the live broadcast assistant, Holly said with some excitement: "The United States knows the first step of Actor Company."

At this time, in the live broadcast hall, Bob had already picked up two product advertisements and said to the audience and the camera: "These are the two copies that I passed by the computer store on my way back from the Taxi Association yesterday. List of goods...why go to the Taxi Association? Because the Taxi Association needed an explanation from me as to why my talk show was so boring and caused multiple collisions among their members, I explained to them why not go to those The company that produced the car is in trouble. You should blame them. Why not develop a function that can help the driver when he or she falls asleep instead of making things difficult for me. After all, my talk show always adheres to the boring style. This may be the only thing I can show off. It’s an advantage…”

"Guess what they told me. He said that those big companies are indeed developing this kind of function, but even if the development is successful, they will only sell it to rich people first and never to taxi drivers. It is said that President Reagan I ordered one so that when the driver is shot and killed in an assassination incident, he can rely on this function to escape quickly without having to use his imagination like President Kennedy."

"Kennedy and Reagan, the two presidents we poor people love most, one was assassinated and the other was almost assassinated. If we, the people who love them, hadn't pursued the truth, maybe those behind the scenes would have even announced that both of them committed suicide. ~~We live in a country where all kinds of bizarre suicide methods are endless."

"Back to these two product introductions, the two product introductions in the computer store, this is the first one, a list of games, with an obvious uniform price printed on it, 9.9 yuan. Some of you will say, I understand this list, I He bought a second-hand computer for his children. He happily used the money he earned from his part-time job to go to a computer store and buy back a lot of games. Each game only costs 9.9. After buying a dozen games, the children will be happy. An unforgettable childhood.”

"Now let me tell you, this is a complete conspiracy of the rich and big companies. You always say that my talk show is superficial. Well, now comes the sharp topic. A huge conspiracy against ordinary people like us. And I, Bob Costa, am the first to expose this huge conspiracy to you."

"Look at the second software list I have. I guess your children must not have paid attention to it when buying games. There are seventy software names and prices printed on it. The cheapest one costs fifty yuan. The name It's called "Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.00", Microsoft Flight Simulator, it's a game, you're wondering what's the difference between this thing and those 9.9 games my kids play? Why is it so expensive? Marvin, what do you think of it? Why is it so expensive?”

"Uh... maybe it's more fun than those 9.9 ones?" an audience member named by Bob said hesitantly.

"Wrong! Let me tell you, because it is not a game, it is a simulation software. Once you play this software, you will find that flying a small plane is no longer difficult for you. Because you will be able to understand various instrument panels, operating buttons, and gears on a small aircraft, which is why it is expensive, and you will gain knowledge.”

"Rich people don't want us to acquire knowledge easily. They just want us to be happy poor people. They worry that if we acquire knowledge at a low price, we will become as rich as them. Seeing others rich is better than killing those rich people. It makes them even more uncomfortable. Imagine that we drive Rolls-Royces, wear high-end clothes, and go to high-end hotels like those rich people. How can they show off to us? They don’t want us to acquire knowledge. They just want us to use it forever. Standing at the bottom of society, looking up at them with envious, jealous and longing eyes.”

"The same floppy disk pretends not to learn any knowledge, but allows children to play alien games on the TV screen, and it only sells for 9.9 yuan."

"If you install any software here, such as Lotus 1-2-3 or WordStar, you can sell it for 495 yuan. Where is the problem?"

"Software, that is, what is contained in this floppy disk, you may also say, Bob, I have no idea what Lotus or WordStar you are talking about, so let me tell you, learning these two software means that you can gain something. A more lucrative job, if you learn two software and understand the hundreds of pages of instructions, you can get a weekly salary of two to three hundred or more in those big companies, with holidays, pensions, and health. The kind of insurance jobs, yes, they are the kind of people in Miami who wear suits, drive nice cars, and work in big companies. If you learn them, you can become those people. But the rich set the threshold. If you want to change To become that kind of person, you need to spend a thousand yuan to buy these two softwares, and then buy a high-end computer that costs at least 1,200 yuan, and then you have to use your brain to memorize hundreds of pages of instructions."

"Maybe the female audience watching the show at this time complained, Bob, give me some cheap diapers, discount cereal, discount clothes, I don't need these two software, I only went to high school, I don't understand computers , and I’m not interested. The most important thing is that I don’t have two thousand two hundred yuan. That’s good. I know that you, like me, don’t have two thousand two hundred yuan. What’s even better is that I’m not the only one who knows that there is one from our east coast. A poor boy in the country named Tommy Hawke knew it too."

"OSS, priced at 49.99, you heard it right, not 499, but 49.99. It has all the functions of the above two softwares. You only need to learn this one, which means you have learned both softwares, and You don’t need to buy a high-end computer, the cheapest computer on the market can also run OSS, and its instruction manual is only ten pages long. As long as your brain can remember the menu of a burger restaurant, there is no problem in memorizing it!”

"You might say, Bob, what if I don't even have the cheapest computer?"

"Our Tommy thought of this. He provides classrooms, teachers, and computer training. Everyone, all this is free. As long as you spend fifty yuan, you can save at least two thousand two hundred yuan. This is my TV live broadcast, the most discounted product, yes, OSS, OfficeSmartSuite, a software that ordinary people like us can afford and is absolutely practical!"

"Some people will think that Bob is crazy. He has never sold such a complicated-sounding product before. I know you are curious about how much advertising fees the other party paid to let me take over such a difficult-to-sell product. No, no. No, I will donate all my share of the advertising revenue to women's equality organizations. I was moved by Tommy Hawke, the inventor of this software, and helped him promote it without charging advertising fees. I think it is worth publicizing. , it will change the fate of many people. It is the product I should sell to you most. It is your best tool to break the class solidification in this deformed country! Please allow me to invite a female guest. Not long ago, she was The slums of San Jose live on the flesh business, the cheapest kind of flesh business, but now, OSS has changed her, welcome, Susan~~~~Curtis!!”

Tommy gently patted the nervous Susan Curtis on the back in the waiting area: "What are you nervous about?"

"I just haven't seen such a situation, I don't know what to say." Susan smiled at Tommy: "Give me some advice, Tommy?"

"God teaches us that words of truth will last forever, and lies will last only a moment." Tommy gently patted Susan on the shoulder:

"So don't lie, don't exaggerate, just tell them the story about you, Susan Curtis."
