Blackstone Code

A lot of people think that the success of "Millionaire" is because of that one million.

Yes, it does make a big difference, but it's not all.

People like to watch it because a lot of people at the bottom see themselves in these players.

Maybe these players in some way have the potential to represent most of the bottom people, people want them to win, it's like telling yourself in the mirror "you can make it".

The only thing the people at the bottom have is empathy, and they can even sigh that the rich go bankrupt!

Naturally, there is also a special and intense satisfaction in the success of the players they support!

Beyond that, there is humanity.

The sinking and struggle of human nature, as well as confrontation, are also a major attraction.

When people start "fighting" for money, it is full of conditions that make people unable to keep watching!

In the final game, the camera did not show everyone what everyone's hole cards were, which also meant that the audience was also guessing.

At this moment, a subtitle advertisement suddenly appeared at the bottom of the screen.

"If you know the answer, please call xx-xxx-xxx-xx immediately to submit the answer. As long as you answer correctly, we will draw 20 lucky viewers from the correct answerers and reward 1,000 gold coupons..."

Maybe people don't notice, maybe they notice but don't care, there is a fee to make this call, but it's not expensive, it only costs a dollar!

One dollar is not much, and it seems like a very good deal to bet a thousand dollars with one dollar.

The next moment, the TV station's call room was completely busy.

Capital is never benevolent, merciful, it is always dirty and ugly, because it can make all compromises for profit!

"That No. 4 player is very cunning, he almost diverted his firepower!" Catherine accurately assessed the treachery of No. 4 player.

Contestant No. 4 is actually a teacher who lost his job and was expelled from the school because he reported something to the school board about what happened in the school.

He lost his job, offended some people, and in the end he was the school's principal with nothing to do, and he was completely shut out of the local education system.

Nobody likes people who break some unspoken rules, even schools.

A loyal and honest teacher who also insists on morality, at this time, for the "ideal", he also began to give up some things.

Or to wake something up.

These were originally in his hands!

Lynch added, "The fact that Harry has the lowest odds of any institution..."

Catherine was a little confused. She didn't know much about the gaming group. "So he actually has the lowest approval rating?"

"People don't think he can win?"

Lynch shook his head and gave her some common sense, "This shows that the most people support him, and the most people believe that he can win the final victory. There is no problem with the strategy of No. 4 player. The problem is the other two. personal."

"They just ignored Harry's stability and threat in the game because of the points. They can only say that they are a bit..." Lynch curled his lips, "...a bit stupid."

Harry looks like a normal person, but the most people betting on him is actually quite telling, people are optimistic about him.

If it is just one person or two people, it may be a problem of vision, but most people are optimistic about him, which shows that he is indeed a candidate for the championship.

Catherine confessed her ignorance about gambling, and at the same time, she thought of a very strange question.

"They used your show to make a bet, have they already infringed?"

Since she became a city councillor, she has been exposed to some cases related to infringement, and sometimes she feels that the law may be too strict.

But the law is the law, and it also made her realize that if the bookies did this, did they infringe Lynch?

Because they use Lynch's show for their own profit, which is obviously wrong. Let's not say whether it's legal or not, at least it's immoral and not correct.

Lynch behaved indifferently, "We signed an agreement, and every season, they will give me one million and 5% of the total revenue, so I agreed with them to do so, otherwise you think they dare to do it. Is it so messed up?"

Actually it was more complicated than Katherine had imagined, more than Lynch said.

There are many "invisible" industries in the Federation. These industries are not usually paid much attention by people. The "concern" mentioned here is people's curiosity about their profitability.

such as education.

No one would demand that every education group publish its annual reports and various results like the companies listed on the Bpein Exchange.

People don't even think about doing it because they feel... no, they don't feel like they don't think education can make any money at all.

It might be said when talking about college tuition, which most of the time they don't pay attention to.

Another example is medical.

The same profiteering is even a semi-monopoly industry, but people have the highest tolerance for it. Not only are no one going to trouble them, but sometimes there are problems with the hospital system, and many people spontaneously maintain the hospital system. .

And, the gaming industry.

Few people care about how profitable the gaming industry is, how much money it makes each year, and the composition of its companies, the composition of shareholders, the composition of equity in the hands of shareholders and more complex issues.

If someone really did that, it would be found that one of the biggest supporters of the United Games is actually a private equity fund indirectly controlled by the shareholders of the gaming group.

Each year, these funds transfer a large amount of funds into the corporate account of the United Games and the accounts of high-level officials, on the grounds that they support the development of federal sports. In fact, the gambling groups and the United Games are behind the scenes!

Gambling is something that definitely requires something to gamble, and nothing is more suitable than intense sports.

Strong competition and uncertainty allow bookmakers to make money from sports events at all levels in the Federation every year. In order to ensure that these things that can help them make money do not collapse, they have become the biggest contributors to the advancement of sports. one.

This sounds funny, but in fact it is not, in the final analysis, the tendency of capital to pursue profit is at work!

Before, there were reports of collusion between betting companies and athletes, but it quickly disappeared, and even the people who reported it disappeared.

When faced with huge interests, whoever dares to stand in the middle of the lane will be smashed to pieces!

Lynch made this show not only did not spend a penny, but also made crazy money.

Sometimes making money is really as simple as he said.

The game is still going on.

Harry and Number Four had already dropped a card each, and it was normal for Harry to drop points.

He has not yet come out of the previous game style, which limited the players' thinking to various fixed clues.

If you are given a yellow, you have to think around the yellow, but now it is different. The free question and answer has completely released the limitation of thinking.

All of a sudden, a lot of things became easier, just like Harry thought at first that baseball could hold up to at least seven or eight questions, but just two questions almost killed him.

The ball, the big field, just a few kinds of **** need a big field. When he continued to ask him, the question he gave was "Is this thing allowed to roll during the game?"

One directly killed Harry, and Harry's reverse question also killed the fourth player.

In fact, they came over in the morning, in addition to the various rules of the game to be said in advance, but also to sign some contracts.

If one of them wins the championship, they will continue to promote the show for free, and at the same time cooperate with TV stations for free to shoot the next program similar to a documentary - "New Born Millionaire"

This show will document the series of changes that take place when a person suddenly goes from being poor to having more than one million, their life, family, social interactions, what will become, will become something that attracts people.

As this book always tells you, capital will always go a few steps ahead of those who are exploited and oppressed.

These people have signed these contracts. Even if they become millionaires, they must continue to contribute their popularity to Lynch and the TV station!

They spent the morning learning about these things, and of course the TV station told them plainly that after signing the agreement, the TV station would help them integrate into their new life.

Including but not limited to introducing some new friends to them, or when they need it, the TV station can also provide them with some help and channels that do not involve interest transactions.

At noon they had a working meal on TV.

The working lunch at the Federation is basically like that. Everyone is busy, and the Chinese food is relatively simple.

Today's Chinese food is a little richer, after all, there are so many unreasonable contracts signed.

So there's steak and chicken at noon, which is what most Commonwealths eat the most ~www.readwn.com~ Harry's question is - "Is it on our lunch menu today?"

Player No. 4 recalled and shook his head, while Harry gave an answer directly, sheep.

Although the Federation has a long coastline, in fact... people are not very keen on eating fish.

For families, the complexity of making fish steak is a problem, and it is difficult to make it as good as steak.

In the era of lack of various seasonings, fishy smell is one of the main reasons why people do not eat fish.

The option of fish is removed, which is common in life, and the federal people do not like to eat pork, so only the option of sheep is left.

Harry decided to take a gamble, and he was right.

Player No. 4's strategy is the same as his, hoping to do more confusion on some questions, ignoring the fact that the questioner can directly ignore many invalid answers!

They all decided to switch strategies, and decided to unite and form a temporary alliance!
