America 1982

After producer Elton Byrne read the information about Stephen Bean and CSLS collected on the table, he remembered to take a sip of the cold coffee, and then said to his assistant Butch:

“It’s hard to imagine that three public high school students created this summer camp and won the attention of Princeton. What’s even more exaggerated is that they went to a country I had never heard of and persuaded that country to accompany them to play a government simulation. Game, it does sound more interesting than American Heritage."

"That country is not much bigger than a small town in the suburbs of New York." The assistant said with a smile.

Elton nodded: "Yes, it may not be as big as Madison Square in New York, but it is a real country. This summer camp just has the two conditions we urgently need, fun and depth, and both of them are better than 'American Heritage' is better, these are real high school students, those in 'American Heritage' were child actors."

"So, are you going to talk to the director about this idea?"

"No, you know what? Butch, I feel that this stunt must have ratings. Americans all like to watch children playing tricks, so what we have to do is to take this show into our own hands, rather than letting it belong to Nick. The children's channel, our own production company, has negotiated cooperation with the summer camp, and then decided on other issues. I talked with the high school student named Tommy, and his tone of pretending to be an adult was really ridiculous. He thought he was mature and just wanted to coax him. If he treats him as an adult, all the benefits will be ours." Elton picked up the cigarette, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and said overlooking the bustling Broadway neighborhood below:

"The most important thing is to move quickly. New York real estate tycoon Leon Bean is about to pass away. The grandson he designated to inherit the inheritance is in that summer camp. If prepared well, Bean's name can be used to attract another one. Bo-eyeball, the richest high school student in America.”

The assistant laughed: "Speaking of which, which one is easier to coax, a high school student or a baby?"

"Believe me, of course for high school students, praise them, encourage them, and satisfy their urge to express themselves, and they will treat you as a close friend. But it is much more difficult for babies. Taking my personal experience as an example, my nanny I encourage and praise my two-year-old son every day, hoping that he will understand that he cannot play with his own poop, but my son obviously does not take the nanny's praise to heart and goes his own way every day." Elton withdrew his gaze and looked at his assistant. :

"We're going to book a flight, contact the company's four-person shooting team with extensive experience in outdoor shooting, plus the two of us and a legal attorney who can draw up a contract as soon as possible, let's go and see with our own eyes that magical country ruled by American high school students. "

…

When Elton Byrne wanted to take advantage of it, Tommy Hawke was driving an old Jeep to the airport to personally greet the Rhode Islanders who flew from Providence to Kingston. Chief litigant Andy Nelson.

"Which one do you think is more respected, Mr. Nelson, as the Prime Minister of our country or as the Chairman of the CSLS Committee?" Tommy held the steering wheel, slowly started the car, and sat in the back seat with his briefcase. Andy Nelson asked.

Andy Nelson looked at Tommy Hawke through the rearview mirror and laughed: "With all due respect, Mr. Tommy Hawke, who is a few years older than my daughter, you or your summer camp paid My check is the greatest respect for me, otherwise I would never come to a place where I feel like I will get eczema just after landing."

"Thank you for your candor." Tommy Hawke did not drive the car towards the government building, but drove along the road for more than ten kilometers until the sugar factory of Bolton Sugar appeared in sight. Then he parked his car slowly along the roadside: "This is the problem I want to solve."

"When you called me, I briefly learned about this sugar company through my law school classmates. The four companies, American Sugar, Imperial Sugar, Midland Sugar, and Crystal Sugar, have a total share of the U.S. refined sugar industry. The sugar market share is 78%. The Burton Sugar Company you are talking about is one of the many sugar companies that have taken the remaining 22% market share under the pressure of the four major companies. The label is other." Andy Nelson opened his briefcase, He took out a piece of information and handed it to Tommy Hawke.

Tommy opened the information and looked through it, while Andy Nelson continued to introduce:

"Bolton Sugar is headquartered in Hendry County, Florida. It is located next to U.S. Sugar, the largest sugar company in the United States. However, compared with its neighbor U.S. Sugar, which owns 230,000 acres of sugar cane plantations in Florida, it is In some embarrassment, under the pressure and encroachment of the American sugar industry, Burton Sugar only has 26,000 acres of sugar cane plantations left in Florida, and it may be insecure at any time, so its founder donated money to the Reagan administration to buy a station in the Caribbean. Ambassador to the Caribbean, expand your business to the Caribbean to avoid being wiped out by the U.S. sugar industry."

Tommy carefully read the information prepared by the lawyer, and then raised his head and looked at the other party:

“Let me talk about the issues I want to consult now. First, I want to use TV programs to expose the dirty things this country has done, but I don’t want to get into trouble, so the second point is, I want to pretend to be a fool and catch people. The producer of a TV station took the bait and used his hand to promote this matter. The reason for doing this is to make Americans believe that my high school students and I and everyone in this country are kind and simple. All subsequent Any plot that has nothing to do with happiness is all planned by the producer who wants to sensationalize and lead us down the wrong path step by step. If someone is unhappy and wants revenge, don’t go to the wrong person."

Andy Nelson stared at Tommy Hawke with a half-smile for more than ten seconds, then lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and turned his gaze to the sugar factory in the distance:

"This does not sound like something that a kind and simple person can say. Tommy, when Miss Melonie Bianconi called me and introduced this business to me, she briefly described you and said that you I am willing to pay a high consulting fee and reimburse my round-trip air tickets and other expenses. I always like high-quality customers, so I took a look at your information, plus the question you just asked. If I guessed correctly, Melo not long ago Miss Ni’s little trick is a way to save money that you came up with when you couldn’t afford the consultation fee?”

"I don't need to save money now, so I'm going to leave this kind and simple matter to professionals to take care of it for me." Tommy responded and gave the other party a smile.

Andy Nelson gave Tommy an appreciative look and said in a positive tone: "The right decision, so as a professional, my advice to you at this moment is that from the beginning to the end, no high school students or nationals are dissatisfied with Bolton Sugar. , and I don’t know how dirty it is under the surface. The exposure will only happen because of the competition between the sugar industry. You innocent and passionate children are just being seduced and instigated by people from the TV station, and the TV station just wants to gain attention. , they used the suspected tax evasion issue to investigate the sugar factory and obtain the account books as a gimmick to attract everyone. You never thought that the sugar factory could really evade taxes. The account books were obtained by a group of high school students who had not received professional training in confidentiality, and things were leaked due to poor protection. It's very normal. I would hand over the things that need to be leaked to a newspaper that I trust and have cooperated with for many years to act as an intermediary. The newspaper will break the news, but will not reveal the real source of the information, which will give people who are ready to eat 26,000 from Burton Sugar. The company in the acre sugar cane plantation creates opportunities, and by then the big fish will know how to eat the small fish. The advantage of this is that while ensuring that you and your friends are all simple and kind, I can also learn from other sugar companies There are some consulting fees earned there, but your consulting fees need to be paid normally, is there any problem?"

"No problem." Tommy nodded with satisfaction.

After putting out the cigarette, Andy Nelson took out a piece of lozenge, peeled it off and put it into his mouth: "Very good, since the sugar factory issue has nothing to do with you, you can join the people of this country and innocently ask the United States for debts. , as a comedy, Americans love comedies, especially teen comedies, which is why sitcoms such as "Crandall College" and "Happy Days at Ridgemont High" always have good ratings."

"I think the check paid to you to serve as the summer camp's legal advisor is really worth it, Mr. Nelson." Tommy said with emotion: "My friends once suggested that I find some well-known lawyers to help this country." Debt collection was vetoed by me, did I do the right thing?”

Nelson thought for a while and then asked: "If you consult professionals, no one will suggest you like this. I guess the person who proposed this idea is your high school friend, and there should be a private lawyer at home who specializes in working for him? So? Is he used to leaving everything to lawyers?"

"Yes." Tommy confirmed.

Nelson laughed:

"Most lawyers would not advise their clients to leave this kind of work to themselves. It would be too stressful for the lawyers, and the preparation work would be too tedious. They would even have to form a separate team specifically for this kind of case. After all, there are so many laws in the United States, and lawyers I am not proficient in all laws. The fee is too high and the client is unlikely to accept it. For example, if the United States really pays 20 million, I think this country will not be willing to pay me 12 million of it as compensation. Lawyers, so generally lawyers will wisely advise their clients to make peace unless they are preparing to do a big deal before retiring, or if a newcomer wants to take advantage of the opportunity to become famous, or if the client is determined to break up and confront the other party in court. To solve this kind of matter, don't make it too serious and make both parties feel embarrassed. Just like what I just suggested, use comedy to collect debts happily under the watchful eyes of all the audience. As long as the other party relents, then let the lawyer remind you. How can the other party pay? In this way, I may only earn a few hundred thousand, but it will take almost no effort. Moreover, I think that if the client encounters trouble again in the future, the first lawyer that comes to mind should still be me who gives him correct advice. Not the person who killed him for 12 million."

"So my friends and I just need to play games with the TV show producer." Tommy thought for a moment: "When signing the contract, will you help us control the terms?"

"Yeah, that's it," Andy Nelson said. "There's just one question, how good are you and your friends at playing fools."

Tommy opened the car door and looked at Nelson: "Don't worry about this problem, because we are fools to begin with."
