After reading the information collected on the table about Stephen Benn and CSLS, producer Elton Byrne 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 came up with this summer camp and won the attention of Princeton, and even more dramatically, they went to a country that I had never heard of at all and persuaded that country to accompany them to play a government sim, which really sounded more interesting than American Legacy."

"That country isn't much bigger than a small town on the outskirts of New York." The assistant said with a smile next to him.

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

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

"No, you know what? Butch, I feel that this gimmick must have ratings, Americans like to watch children play treasures, so, what we have to do is to hold this show in our own hands, not let it belong to Nickelodeon, our own production company to negotiate cooperation with the summer camp, and then decide on other issues, I talked to the initiating high school student named Tommy, his tone of pretending to be an adult is really ridiculous, he thinks he is mature, as long as he coaxes him to treat him as an adult, the benefits can all become ours. Elton picked up his cigarette, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and looked down on the bustling Broadway neighborhood below.

"The main thing is that the speed should be faster, New York real estate tycoon Leon Pen is dying, and his grandson designated to inherit the estate is at that summer camp, and if it is prepared well, it can attract another wave of eyeballs with Binne's name, the richest high school student in the United States."

The assistant laughed: "Speaking of which, which one is better for high school students or Baby?" ”

"Believe me, of course it's a high school student, praise them, encourage them, satisfy their desire to show their impulses, they will treat you as a bosom friend, but Baby is much more difficult, take my personal seeing, for example, my nanny encourages and praises my two-year-old son every day, hoping that he can understand that he can't play with his own poop, but my son obviously doesn't take the nanny's praise to heart, and goes his own way every day." Elton retracted his gaze and looked at his assistant:

"To book a plane ticket, contact a four-person shooting team with an experienced team of four people in the company's field shooting, plus the two of us and a legal counsel who can draw up contracts as soon as possible, let's go and see for ourselves the magical country ruled by American high school students."

……

While Elton Byrne wanted to take the benefits into his hands, Tommy Hawk was driving himself to the airport in an old-fashioned Jeep to personally greet Andy Nelson, the number one lawyer in Rhode Island, who had flown from Providence to Kingston.

"Which of your country's Prime Ministers, or the CSLS Committee Chair, do you think you are more respected?" Tommy held the steering wheel, started the car slowly, and asked Andy Nelson, who was sitting in the back seat with his briefcase.

Andy Nelson glanced at Tommy Hawk in the rearview mirror and laughed: "With all due respect, Mr. Tommy Hawke, who is not a few years older than my daughter, the check you or your summer camp paid me is the greatest respect for me, otherwise I would never have come to this kind of place that just landed and made me feel like I would have eczema." ”

"Thank you for your candor." Tommy Hawk didn't drive the car towards the government building, but drove along the road for more than a dozen kilometers, until the sugar mill of Bolton Sugar came into view, and then slowly stopped along the side of the road: "That's the problem I'm trying to solve." ”

"When you called, I briefly learned about this sugar company through my law school classmates, American Sugar, Imperial Sugar, Midland Sugar, and Crystal Sugar, these four companies together have a 78% share of the U.S. refined sugar market, and the Burton Sugar you mentioned is one of the many sugar companies that share the remaining 22% of the market share under the pressure of the big four companies, and the label is others." Andy Nelson opened the briefcase, took out a document from it and handed it to Tommy Hawk.

Tommy opened the information and looked at it, and Andy Nelson continued:

"Bolton Sugar is headquartered in Hendry County, Florida, and the largest sugar company in the United States, American Sugar, lives next to it, but compared with its neighbor American Sugar, which sits on 230,000 acres of sugar cane plantations in Florida, it is a little embarrassed, under the suppression and encroachment of the American sugar industry, Bolton Sugar only has 26,000 acres of sugar cane plantations left in Florida, and it may not be guaranteed at any time, so its founder donated money to the Reagan administration to buy an ambassador to the Caribbean, and the business layout to the Caribbean, lest you be eaten up by the American sugar industry. ”

Tommy carefully read the materials prepared by the lawyer, and then raised his head to look at the other party:

"I'll talk about the questions I want to ask now, first, I'm going to use a TV show to expose the dirty things it did for this country, but I don't want to get into trouble, so the second point is, I want to pretend to be a fool, and I want to take the bait of a TV producer and use his hand to promote it, and the reason for this is that I want to convince Americans that I and my high school students and all the people in this country are kind and simple, and all the subsequent plots that have nothing to do with joy are planned by that producer and want to make a splash. Guide us step by step to go astray, and if someone is unhappy and wants revenge, don't look for the wrong person. ”

Andy Nelson stared at Tommy Hawk with a smile for more than ten seconds, and then lowered his head and lit a cigarette and looked at the sugar factory in the distance:

"This doesn't sound like a kind and simple person can say, Tommy, when Miss Meloni-Bianconi called me and introduced me to this business, she briefly described you, saying that you are willing to pay a high consulting fee to reimburse me for my round-trip air tickets and other expenses, I always like high-quality customers, so I learned about your information, plus the question you just asked, if I guessed correctly, Miss Meloni's little trick not long ago was a way to save money when you couldn't afford to pay the consulting fee?"

"I don't need to save money now, so I'm ready to leave this kind and simple thing to a professional to take care of for me." Tommy replied with a smile.

Andy Nelson gave Tommy an appreciative look and said in an affirmative tone: "The right decision, so my advice to you as a professional at this moment is that from beginning to end, there are no high school students and their own citizens who are dissatisfied with the Bolton sugar industry, and I don't know how dirty it is under the surface, the exposure will happen, just because of the competition between the sugar industry, you naïve and hot-blooded children, you are just seduced and instigated by the people of the TV station, and the TV station just wants to win attention, Only then did I use the suspected tax evasion problem to investigate the sugar factory and get the account books as a gimmick to attract everyone, you can't imagine that the sugar factory will really evade taxes, the account books are in the hands of a group of high school students who have not received professional training in confidentiality, and it is very normal for the leakage of unfavorable protection to occur, I will hand over what needs to be leaked to the newspaper that I trust and have cooperated with for many years as a middleman, and the newspaper will break out, but will not give the real source, and create opportunities for the company that is ready to eat the 26,000 acres of sugar cane plantations of Bolton Sugar. By that time, the big fish will know how to eat the small fish. The advantage of this is that while you and your friends are all pure and kind, I can also earn some consulting fees from other sugar companies, but your consulting fees need to be paid normally, is there a problem? ”

"No problem." Tommy nodded in satisfaction.

Twisting the cigarette out, Andy Nelson took out a piece of throat lozenge, peeled it off, and put it in his mouth: "Very good, since the sugar factory problem has nothing to do with you, you can naively ask the United States for the debt with the people of this country, as a comedy, Americans love comedy, especially teen comedy, which is why sitcoms such as "Brothers and Sisters at Crandall College" and "Happy Hours at Richmont High School" have always had good ratings. ”

"I think that check is payable to you, and it's really worth it to ask you to be the legal counsel for the camp, Mr. Nelson." Tommy said with emotion: "My friend once suggested that I find some well-known lawyers to help the country collect debts, but I vetoed it, am I doing the right thing?" ”

Nelson thought for a moment before asking, "If you consult a professional, no one will advise you like this, I guess it was your high school friend who came up with this idea, and there should be a private lawyer at home who specializes in running for him?" So he's used to leaving everything to a lawyer? ”

"Yes." Tommy affirmed.

Nelson laughed:

"Most lawyers will not advise their clients to take full responsibility for this kind of work, it is too stressful for lawyers, the preparation work is too cumbersome, and even a separate team must be formed according to this kind of case, after all, there are many laws in the United States, and lawyers are not proficient in all laws, and the fees are too high for this and the client is unlikely to accept it, for example, the United States really takes out 20 million, I think this country will not be willing to pay 12 million of them as remuneration to my law firm, Therefore, as long as the general lawyer is not ready to retire before the last big deal, or the newcomer wants to try to take the opportunity to become famous, and the client is determined to tear his face and meet the other party's court, he will intelligently suggest that the client settle this kind of matter peacefully, don't make it too serious and make both parties a little embarrassed, just like I just suggested, happily under the gaze of all the audience, use comedy to collect debts, as long as the other party relaxes, and then hand it over to the lawyer to remind the other party how to pay, so maybe I can only earn hundreds of thousands, But it takes little effort, and I think that when a client gets into trouble in the future, the first lawyer who comes to mind will be me who gave him the right advice, not the one who slaughtered him 12 million. ”

"So my friends and I just had to play games with that TV producer." Tommy thought for a moment: "When you sign the contract, do you help us control the terms?" ”

"Yes, that's it." Andy Nelson said, "There's only one question, how well you and your friends play fools. ”

Tommilla opened the door and looked at Nelson, "Don't worry about that, because we're fools." ”
