Chapter 789: Trick!

There was no one else, Henry was still there, and his face did not change when he heard the boss's words that would decide the life and death of others.

Life or death is in the same thought, and it is clear that in Henry's eyes, the boss belongs to the category of good people.

Is it hacky to treat others like this?

It's not black, Hollywood is Vanity Fair, that is, the surface is glamorous, but the dirty things in the dark Henry has seen a lot, and even things like setting fire to the set and stealing other people's films are not done by no one, and the boss's approach is trivial.

It's a trivial matter to leave to Thomas, just say hello to those who do the dirty work in France, and by the 22nd of next month, that scum and Mr. Big Nose will 100% have some small accident, or the kind of accident that will not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Accidental food poisoning, car accidents, or ......

There are many ways to do it, and it all depends on creativity.

This will make Zhang Nan feel that his mouth is a little light, and he is a little uncomfortable, so he pushed the cigar box on the table forward, and by the way, he also came to the root.

Henry was not unkind, and took a stout cigar from the wooden box and lit it: he also smoked, and he preferred the boss's 25-pack of Cohiba cigars to Marlboro for $750 each.

"Boss, this Cohiba cigar is the top quality of Cuban cigars! It's a pity that there is no distributor in the United States, so we have to bring it from a third country. ”

He knew that Zhang Nan had never smoked cigars before, and today's behavior surprised Henry, and he himself was a loyal fan of cigars, but a few years ago he could not afford such consumption.

30 Canadian dollars a piece, not cheap!

"I'm out of cigarettes, and the nearby convenience store is out of stock, so I don't know if there's any stock in New York City, so I'll make do with this..."

Zhang Nan's helpless expression made Henry want to hit the wall!

The boss only smokes the kind of red packaged cigarettes produced in China, and now the relationship between the two sides is not good, the number of imports has dropped sharply, and there is actually no food.

The $1 box of Chinese cigarettes in the convenience store vending machine is out of stock, and then the owner can only make do with Cohiba cigars worth almost $30 each?

also had a helpless expression.

is helpless, Zhang Nan hates mixed cigarettes, and he doesn't like Marlboro, camels, or Sanwu, so he loves flue-cured tobacco.

In the United States, the only flue-cured cigarettes that can be bought are China, and even the phoenix with a pleasant aroma is not exported to the United States, so Zhang Nan has no other choice.

Anyone who wants to quit smoking, smoking is harmful to health, and fools know it, but they can't quit. It's not easy to quit two lifetime habits.

Oh, and many convenience stores in the United States sell cigarettes from vending machines, regardless of the country or brand, all for a pack of dollars.

As for cigars, Zhang Nan doesn't have any hobbies, and he doesn't like the taste at all.

“... My brother-in-law saw it in a hotel shop in Yellowknife, Canada, and there were 12 boxes of it, saying that Che Guevara's favorite brand cigar ......"

Speaking of this funny, some people describe this brand of cigars as having a thick shape, a slippery texture and a silky smooth mouthfeel, a soft vision, a clean taste, and a layered sense of exhaled smoke, like the smell of perfume. Unlike some cigars that are of poor quality or have nothing to show for themselves, the smoke is a mess, but it is very aristocratic and has all the beauty that a cigar should have.

I really don't know who came up with those bunch of adjectives: still aristocratic temperament?

, big brother, forget what other people Guevara does?

Aristocrat?

!

You dare to be noble, and people dare to kill you every minute!

How could Xiang Weirong buy a whole 12 boxes of Cohiba cigars?

It's nothing, it's just nostalgia.

More than 10 years ago, one of his soldiers gave him a box, and there was no concept of how much it was worth at the time, because the Cuban government liked to give it to him at that time

A brand of cigar as a gift to a foreign friend, is also considered a kind of national gift.

Instead of talking about money, talking about friendship, the person who receives the gift will not pay attention to what price these cigars can sell for in Western society.

Coincidentally, the soldier under Xiang Weirong was the youngest son of the deputy commander of the navy, and that kid came from his father's study.

As for whether his father will be angry when he finds out that the cigar is gone, it is not something that Xiang Weirong needs to care about.

Foreign goods, good things!

Half of the brothers were divided into one each, and they could smoke for a day. The remaining half of the box was sent home to honor the old man - and the evaluation was: "Strong, no phlegm, no cough!"

I still remember that the wooden box packaging has not changed for more than ten years, and I still recognize it when I see it in the store. As for Alyosha who was smoked at the beginning, I remember it clearly, and then I bought it.

One is the monthly income of today's Chinese workers, expensive, expensive individuals!

Then he gave Zhang Nan a box, and the rest was divided among the guys from Huaxia - the United States didn't have to buy this top brand cigar full of Guevara flavor, but Canada did.

You must know me, when Guevara was alive, what he wanted most was the life of the United States!

At this time, there was a knock on the door, it was Mark.

"Boss, your grain and grass have arrived, and I bought them from New Jersey. ”

Lying in the groove, Zhang Nan threw the cigar that he had only smoked two or three puffs into the cigar ashtray, and took the two "Chinese" handed over by the big man.

Help!

With this, who still smokes cigars!

There were still about twenty in the wooden box, and they were directly connected to the box and given to Henry: "It's yours." ”

Meizizi disassembles the carton and enjoys its own "China" to go.

Oh, Brother Mark is a good comrade and doesn't smoke.

......

The next day, there were not many guests who came to congratulate them, but they were all their own people, and they would not come if they were not their own people.

After Zhang Nan hollowed out his mind and searched his intestines, he finally named his son Zhang Xingchen.

Daughter Yuchen and son Xingchen are all associated with the sun, moon and stars, which is also perfect.

Adjani is even more satisfied with her son's name: the sun, moon and stars are all here, and such a child is destined to be happy from the moment he is born. As for the English and French names, take your time, don't rush, and have time to think slowly.

Today, Zhang Xingchen is full moon, and it is also today, the commander of the Panamanian Defense Forces, Noriega, was escorted to the United States - the commander of the National Defense Forces is the "former", because 14 days ago, George Bush ordered 27,000 American troops to launch a military operation codenamed "Operation Justice" against Panama, to put it bluntly, it was to launch a war of aggression, overthrow Noriega's military regime, and support Ndala to take office as Panama President Ma.

Noriega surrendered to the U.S. military today, ending 21 years of military rule in Panama, and the U.S. invasion killed 2,000 people, including Panamanian soldiers and civilians.

Why did Bush fight Panama?

Because Noriega wants to completely reclaim sovereignty over the Panama Canal, and then the United States will be furious.

It is now 1990, the Soviet Union has long been too busy to take care of itself, and the United States can already do things unscrupulously!

......

On the 4th, Zhang Nan went to Manhattan, New York, and the Los Angeles-based United Television Network launched a new program proposed by the general boss, which has only been broadcast for two episodes now, but it has already swept the entire North American continent!

What program?

"Treasure Hunt"!

A few months ago, if you look at the ratings coverage and advertising revenue, United Television Network could only rank fourth or even fifth in the United States, but in just a few months, United Television Network has attacked with a whole set of brain-opening "combination punches", which has already beaten the other four major TV networks with blue noses and swollen faces and can't find the north!

With the soaring advertising revenue and the support of huge funds, the United Television Network has the momentum to dominate North America in a year or two, and it is still unstoppable!

It's unstoppable!

The other four major TV networks go from bosses and general managers to grassroots reporters, editors, and directors...... I've never seen such an unreasonable "combination punch"!

Today, the average primetime ratings of national television programs from the five major television networks in the United States together account for more than 70 percent of the ratings.

For the network to compete in the U.S. market, and even globally, the network must have a variety of programming that appeals to audiences of all levels of education, social strata and cultural backgrounds.

Therefore, it is very important for major TV networks to make it easy for all kinds of viewers to find programs that meet their tastes in a fixed time period.

However, the prime time of TV is limited to a few hours, so the broadcast method of TV dramas on various TV networks in the United States is rarely two or three episodes a night like Huaxia TV, because except for a few rare works, each TV series can only meet the needs of a part of the audience.

If a show that caters to one audience takes up too much prime time, it will lose other viewers!

For this reason, the major television networks in the United States will broadcast forty or fifty sitcoms and twenty or thirty episodic series every week, as well as a small number of TV movies.

Moreover, the broadcast of American TV dramas is basically based on the "screening season", with the period from mid-September to late April of the following year as a broadcast season, which has become the top priority of TV broadcasting throughout the year because of its absolute highest ratings.

During the airing season, you won't see the old shows, and the TV screen is completely occupied by new episodes.

Needless to say, the TV drama brains of the United TV Network in the past two months have been opened to the Pacific Ocean, and the TV drama departments of several other TV networks want to hit the wall!

That's not the scariest thing, because American dramas often only show one or two episodes a week, so the United Television Network fills the time with other types of programs that are more unreasonable.

Take one of the largest national TV channels under the United Television Network as an example, in addition to news, novel talk shows, and soap operas during the day: what, other stations will show their own ace TV dramas in prime time on Monday, so let's go to "Survival in the Wilderness"!

You can't bear it and want to change Tuesday, it's okay, we have more ruthless!

Close the door and put "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"!

Zhang Nan directly plagiarized "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" broadcast on ITV TV in the United Kingdom in 1998, because there is enough financial support, the rules of the program are extremely simple: as long as you answer 15 questions correctly in a row, the answerer can win a $1 million grand prize!

The show was a huge success as soon as it was launched, capturing a whopping 59% market share!

This is not a question of forcing others to hit the wall, but asking others to jump off the building!

59%, others are still a mess!

As for Wednesday, let's take a break, "Everybody Loves Raymond" came out, everyone took a breath, and waited for Thursday to continue the battle.

Thursday night's dinner is "Treasure Hunt", which arouses the curiosity and the psychology of getting rich overnight as long as everyone has: if you can't get a genius show with a high IQ and high knowledge accumulation like "Millionaire", you can become rich overnight if you go through the treasures left by your grandparents and grandparents in the old house, or find the old goods in your garage.

No knowledge, no problem, the experts will help you and let you know how much the treasure in your hand is worth.

On Friday and Saturday, let's play second-rate TV series, and by the way, we will play replays of "Survival in the Wilderness" and "Treasure Hunt" at the end of prime time and the first half of midnight, because Americans love to watch movies on these two nights, and if they are all classics, they will shoot themselves in the foot!

As for Sunday night, then "A Bite of America" that Zhang Nan came up with will continue to give headaches to the executives of other TV networks, and the creatives will continue to want to jump off the building!

And these programs are copyrighted, and the Western world talks about this, and it's still difficult for you to plagiarize, so you can only watch people get rich, and hide in the corner and draw circles.

It's no problem to dare to plagiarize, the United Television Network has the money and the barrister to sue you in court, you copy one and try it!

As for what "Fishing to the Death", "Alaska Fishing War", "Digging for Treasure", ...... These are changing the law to make trouble, and the ratings are rising steadily.

Other stations don't know, these are not the most ruthless, and by the time this summer, there are two big killers on the United Television Network that will make people on other TV networks so depressed that they doubt their lives: students have a three-month summer vacation, and "The Voice of America" and the kind of programs like "Brave the World" that are unbearable and played in the water world are waiting for you!

The former program has been popular all over the world for many years, and the latter has dominated the Chinese summer program file for many years after more than 20 years.

This is a microcosm of this, all the programs will bring huge advertising revenue and huge market share to the United Television Network, and "Treasure Hunt" is not only a monetary gain, but also can find enough antique collection for Zhang Nan.

Unlike the Huaxia version 20 years later, this will make a slight change: because the baby is good, but it is difficult to sell!

The TV network will buy one of the fine products at the highest price on the scene of each episode, of course, if you don't sell it, it's okay, but I will buy it.

As for the buyer......

The television network itself.

But if there is a TV network that can't afford to buy it, and the owner wants to sell the object, then there is no problem, you can contact any of the major auction companies for the owner, and the auction company will give a commission discount.

In the favor of several parties, the treasures bought by the TV network will be exhibited in the public after having a certain amount of accumulation.

And what about after the exhibition?

It's all owned by Zhang Nan, because the TV network is his.

One piece per issue, what about the boutique in the hands of others?

Man, don't you know that many of the people who play this kind of show can work part-time as second-hand dealers?

Well, as long as Zhang Nan takes a fancy to it, it is still very likely that the baby will be returned to him after the private transaction: as soon as the show is recorded, or even when it is being recorded, the deal has already been reached.

When the audience saw the latest issue of "Treasure Hunting", in fact, the owner of some of the objects in it was actually Zhang Nan!

If the highest price in the market price is eaten, will Zhang Nan lose?

Not a loss, he doesn't want everything, besides, even if it is a Western art, Zhang Nan also knows the approximate changes in the value of its collection in the future, as long as it is an object that he has won, it will rise in a few years.

It doesn't matter if there are some inflated ones, just like it, and you don't lack money.

Besides, the routine here is deep, in the first two episodes of the show, the program team asked the boss to borrow a few pieces of collection, and let "Tuo" take it to the show.

Among them was his large copper plate: estimated at $300,000.

Yes, this will be at this price, and the inscription is blocked with a layer of ash, but the owner did not sell it: there are almost Chinese antique collections to sign up for the show, someone will ask for it!

Looking for antiques from all over the world, how many places can you find in a year?

Now the people of the United States are helping Zhang Nan to find it in their respective homes, this is Zhang Nan's latest trick to search for antiques!

, it's unreasonable enough.
