Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 839 After the show airs

It was the night after Carter had to rush back to California starry night and delivered the edited video tape to Burbank in the early hours of the morning.

On January 1984, 1, "Tucao Conference" was officially launched!
Although the eight o'clock file is not about to arrive, the nine o'clock file time can be regarded as a very good time in this orthodox New Year.
Whether it is the leading trailer for the previous three simultaneous broadcasts by the four companies, or this time the new year's nine o'clock schedule.It can be said that the three major commercial broadcasting companies have done their best in terms of benevolence!

They didn't deliberately suppress Carter for such a small amount of money, no, it should be the TED show.

On the contrary, in the publicity and distribution, all three companies have shown full sincerity!
However, this reality did not make Carter relax, on the contrary, it put enough pressure on Carter.

On New Year's Day '84, Carter lost sleep!
"How were the ratings last night?"

With thick dark circles under his eyes, on the morning of January 1, Carter drove from Irvine to Burbank.

The haggard face fully exposed Carter's lack of self-confidence
In Carter's view, with such a show that he is not satisfied with, he has little hope of winning the bet!

What's more, even the three major broadcasting companies and one public broadcasting company have given enough sincerity.Pay a good amount of time, play previews and advertisements for the program.
However, the time is too short!
From the first time the trailer appeared in the audience's field of vision to the official launch of the program, the duration in between was even less than a week.In such a short period of time, even if you want to rely on marketing to increase the ratings, you can't do anything else
Carter dared not think.

"The ABS data came out. The ratings of ABS last night were 13.2%, taking into account the holiday factor. This ratings increase, it can't be said to be very high. This is the ratings of last year and the year before, at the same time period!"

Sitting behind his desk, Phelps also looked sluggish.Even when he was handing information to Carter, he didn't put down the coffee cup in his hand.
"12.8 and 13.0 are indeed limited in improvement."

Carter smiled wryly, put the folder on Phelps' desk, and then took out a cigarette from his pocket:

"Is there any more coffee? Can I have one?"

"Juno, a cup of coffee!"

Shouting out the door, Phelps did not refuse the cup of coffee.

Even if you just look at the data here in ABS, it doesn't look good.It can even be said that Carter's bet has failed, but Phelps did not seem very happy:
"The statisticians at NBC and CBS are just starting work now, maybe there will be good news for them!"

"hope so"

Lighting a cigarette, Carter twitched the corner of his mouth.
However, just when Carter's face was full of sadness, some voices discussing "Tucao Conference" were gradually sounding from the outside world.
"Hey, Gordon, did you watch "Tucao Conference" last night?"

"You watched it too?! I remember you don't like NBC shows?"

"Huh? I didn't watch NBC. I watched "Tucao Conference" on CBS. Forget it, it doesn't matter!"

Thinking of the programs of the two presidents before and after, it seems that it is not a big deal to have a few more TV stations.Matzej Reich quickly accepted this setting, and then excitedly pulled his friend Gordon and said:

"The point is, I feel that the guest named George made a lot of sense! Equality for black people should be equality without discrimination! It's like accepting good stereotypes, but also accepting bad stereotypes. I I think it will be very good to prepare my graduation thesis in this direction!"

"You're crazy?! Don't you know who Professor Miles is?! Look at those classmates who call for better treatment for black people. Which one usually has a low score? You wrote this in your graduation thesis and asked not to give them any money. Compensation, did you still think about his pass in your graduation defense?"

"I didn't say no to compensation. I just think that they shouldn't have done nothing, just because of the past, they should be given extra treatment to all of them without distinction! If they themselves have been persecuted, then compensation should be given Yes, but the majority of blacks, in fact, have not been harmed at all."

"You'd better not say this kind of thing! Look, there are people watching you! I can think of what they will say. Mental injury is also injury. To be honest, no black person has ever been discriminated against of?"

"That can't be said"

"Connor, my old friend! What a pleasure to meet you!"

"Me too~ Is this caviar? It's in Russian. God, I don't know how long I haven't tasted it!"

"I will remember to eat more later! I believe that before long, we will be able to taste its taste easily! As Mr. Reagan said, it is the darkest time before dawn. Now our days are getting worse Sadness proves that the dawn of victory is getting closer to us!"

"You also watched "Tucao Conference"?! I really didn't expect that, in my impression, you are not a person who likes to watch variety shows."

"Under normal circumstances, I'm really not interested in those star-studded shows. I stayed in front of the TV last night to watch the jokes, just because I heard that Mr. President would appear on the show. You know, we're doing business, so let's advance It is very important to know a little about the Federation's thinking, or to know some information!"

"It's true to say that, but I don't think this show is any different from the usual reality shows. Reagan, it's just a show, don't forget, he was originally an actor! If you can believe his words, I will It’s not even a can of caviar that I’m reluctant to buy.”

In a manor on the outskirts of Portland, Oregon, a middle-aged man was leaning over to scoop up caviar with a spoon. Reminiscence expression.
"Similar words, he said a few years ago. Just like Mr. Jimmy Carter said about his problems, he kept saying during the campaign, 'I took office, and the economy recovered! I took office, and America will be saved!'"

"The result? Sorry, I really don't feel any changes between now and the Carter era. Business is as difficult as it is, and money is as difficult as it is! It's even more difficult to raise money now."

"My factory worth 100 million is mortgaged to the bank, but I can only loan 60. Huh?! It's a joke! In the past, I could get a loan of at least 120 million!"

"I think a little bit differently than you! I think it's a good thing because money isn't worth as much as it used to be! Inflation, it's coming to an end!"

Standing next to the man, another man with a gentle expression smiled faintly, with a look in his eyes:

"In the past, for a mortgage of 100 million, banks dared to give you 120 million. It was because they thought that 120 million would soon be worth less than 120 million. On the contrary, the factory buildings, land, and production equipment in your hands are more valuable. This is simply A disaster!"

"Currency depreciates faster than your old second-hand equipment! At that time, everyone said I was rich, but I didn't have the slightest sense of security. I always felt that I would become a pauper"
