American Entertainment 1982 Chapter 158

  Chapter 158 You are complete, Tommy

Jim Manzi sat at the dining table in Tommy's villa, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and said to Tommy who was flipping through the materials sitting across the table: "It's almost like this about Professor Yunus and his poor bank. , In fact, there is still a project about the share farm that I haven't had time to investigate, but that thing has little to do with banking business, plus your phone call a few days ago, so I flew back."

"I calculated according to the exchange rate you provided, that is to say, Professor Yunus's bank provides a loan of 50 cents to each Bangladeshi poor man every week, and then the other party needs to return 52 cents to the bank when the repayment is made next week. ?” Tommy looked at some data brought back by Jim, and said in his mouth:

"For 50 cents a week, what kind of business can those poor people do? I mean, any part-time job in the United States now pays $3 an hour. I can't imagine what business can be done for 50 cents. A total of 28,000 customers The scale, which means that the bank will give them a loan of one dollar each, and they only need a principal of less than 30,000 yuan."

"Most of them are in the furniture business. They will use bamboo to make all kinds of beautiful bamboo furniture and sell them to the purchasers. After the purchasers purchase them in a unified manner, they will sell them to places like Europe, Hong Kong or Japan. They will buy them for 50 cents. The money for raw materials, the bamboo there is not free, the furniture made of bamboo for 50 cents can be sold for about 70 cents, and after deducting the low-interest loan of 52 cents, there is still 18 cents left, if both husband and wife start work , they can earn 36 cents a week, and after deducting the most basic living expenses, they can save 10 cents. That is to say, if they want to continue to do furniture business, they need to continue to borrow money and go round and round. Professor Yunus is actually planning to Interest-free loans, but maintaining bank expenses also requires fees." Jim looked at the dazzling array of food on the table and asked:

   "Can I eat these foods? You eat such a big dinner alone?"

   "Of course, the spaghetti, lobster, fish, whiskey, wine on the table...you can enjoy it at will." Tommy said without raising his head: "That was originally prepared for the wind."

  Jim picked up a lump of sauced spaghetti with a fork and put it into his mouth: "Thank you, I didn't expect you to prepare a special meal for me."

"I didn't know you were going back to China today. It was actually for two guys you met, Dennis and Pam. They came to California to visit me suddenly today. Then I asked the chef to prepare a table for dinner in advance. As a result, Stephen and Jia Sen took them to Los Angeles."

"The food on this table looks very rich. Look at these lovely oysters~ they are so delicious." Jim swallowed the food in his mouth, picked up a piece of oyster meat and threw it into his mouth, and said with satisfaction: "So the oysters in Los Angeles Oysters are more delicious?"

   "Stephen booked a nightclub and 120 beautiful girls in Los Angeles to welcome Dennis and Pam." Tommy said calmly.

  Jim stopped eating immediately, and looked at Tommy: "...It's also a catch-up, why do you just treat me with such a pile of junk food that others don't even bother to look at, why don't you respect me?"

   "But you just praised the delicious oysters."

"I was complimenting against my will, understand? I have compliments on my face, but my heart is bleeding." Jim poured himself a glass of wine and said, "So, you said on the phone that your girlfriend To understand what banking means?"

  Jim closed the files and looked at Jim: "She wants to do something meaningful, and what could be more meaningful than what we do."

   "Your girlfriend also thinks that earning **** money can make her life meaningful?" Jim asked Tommy, putting food into his mouth.

Tommy picked up some spaghetti and sent it to his mouth. When he heard Jim's words, he couldn't finish swallowing and shook his head: "No, no, my girlfriend is an angel, understand? Go hope, let people walk along her light, and when those people have stepped on that road and can't turn back, let her redeem the other lambs, and you will succeed her and continue to guide those on the road."

"In the spread of religion, the missionaries who just started preaching showed kindness. After the brainwashing is completed and those people have faith, they put on another face and tell the other party that God loves the world, but he also needs the world to love him. Now your gods are lacking. Money requires you to dedicate everything you can.” After Jim understood Tommy's words, he couldn't help teasing him:

"I thought you would continue to play the role of American Idol, the Righteous Man from Heaven, but now it seems that you are planning to make another righteous woman in the world? Are your two children going to have some visions when they are born? Come out, or help your girlfriend do an operation before giving birth, and put a "Bible" and a cross on the baby's hand first?"

  Tommy sighed, and continued to send food into his mouth: "Your lack of fear of God, Jim, is not right."

"You've made me a complete atheist if you've survived till now. If God really existed, you should have been thrown into **** **** by him long ago, enjoying the endless gang violence of niggers." See Seeing that this guy actually said that he lacks awe of the gods, Jim immediately opened his mouth to fight back, but then asked:

   "So, your girlfriend sacrificed herself to be with black people?"

   "No, no, no, my girlfriend is going to help the poor in need, including blacks of course, but it's not to mingle with them." Tommy immediately retorted.

Otilia can't get along well with black people. If her character is really familiar with black people, those lazy and cheeky black poor ghosts will definitely take Otilia's charity for granted, and Otilia may even It will also be taken for granted.

"The most important thing she should do before is to use her kind heart to help me go to Bangladesh to reform that Professor Yunus. My girlfriend has funds and is willing to do the right thing to help Bangladesh. Professor Yunus will not Refuse goodwill, that's what we're going to do, find an opportunity to put money in there, make that little bank ours, then put Yunus to work for us, make those great ideas in his brain ours, and then Slowly develop this kind of business into an international business. There are so many poor countries in Africa and Asia, and there are countless poor people. For the poor, we will use the brain of Yunus to design many ways to help them, and Help, at some point, can also be a kind of business, we **** the blood of blacks from California to feed branches in other countries, when the time comes..." Tommy looked at Jim.

Jim tore off the napkin and wiped his lips, took a sip of wine, took another deep breath of the cigarette, and then interrupted Tommy directly: "This is not a **** business at all, Tommy, it is a business, but ...is not a business in the traditional sense, unless you work for a certain politician, which is impossible, and the investigation data completed by the firm for the Lotus company before shows that you are from the countryside and do not have any political background worthy of attention.”

   "I wanted to work for myself, but now I decided to work for my brother." Tommy looked at Jim calmly.

  Jim was too lazy to listen to Tommy's completely perfunctory nonsense, so he turned his head and cursed, and said, "If a car repairman is also a politician, you can indeed say that."

"I plan to send him and Dennis to the U.S. Naval Academy, join the SSD branch of the U.S. Naval Academy, and serve in the Navy after graduation. Therefore, the business in those countries is a trade item prepared for every promotion he has, and there is nothing he can't sell." Seeing that Jim thought he was joking, Tommy added.

  Jim turned his head and looked at Tommy. After making sure that the expression on the bastard's face was not a joke, he tentatively asked:

   "You have to understand that if a war broke out between the US and the Soviet Union in the near future, it would be equivalent to sending your brother and friends to die with your own hands. Are you sure that you will not fluctuate in the face of this possible situation?"

   "Then why not take a gamble that there will be no war between the United States and the Soviet Union." Tommy said to Jim:

"The poor want to change their destiny. How can it be possible if they don't take risks? If you pay for it, you will get something. If it weren't for the fact that the Soviet military exercises in the past two years have frightened several major military academies to fail to recruit enough students, how would those politicians give poor boys a chance to get in? ?”

  Seeing that Jim was silent, Tommy said while eating:

"They pay, and there will be rewards. My brother may one day become the captain of a cruiser or some other unit commander, and Dennis will be the same. Otherwise, my brother will spend his whole life repairing cars in the country, and Dennis will be a garbage dump manager all his life. ?”

Seeing Tommy's calm expression, Jim couldn't help asking: "Everyone, as long as you need it, you can use it without hesitation? Tommy, do you have any real friends?" ? Do you have any relatives in the true sense? I mean, whether it's family or friends, is there anyone in this world who you can tell everything about and trust completely?”

   "No, not a single one." Tommy didn't even hesitate for a moment, looked at Jim, and gave the answer directly with calm eyes.

  "Impeccable answer." Jim lowered his head and continued to send food to his mouth, and said vaguely: "You are complete, Tommy Hawk."

  The two quietly finished the food on their respective plates, and Tommy wiped the corner of his mouth and opened his mouth, breaking the silence:

"In addition to needing you to teach my girlfriend how to do good deeds, there is one more thing. The SSD chapter of Stanford University is hosting a charity dinner for the Veterans Association. I need a few powerful people to appear at the charity dinner. The other guests are not important , but I want to attract members of the SSD chapter of West Point, the U.S. Naval Academy, those military academies.”

"Why?" Jim looked at Tommy with a puzzled face: "What can those idiots do? You won't have a common topic with them. In fact, even people my age can't **** catch you ideas, not to mention common topics.”

"Those guys are the perfect loan salesmen and potential shareholders in our little business, Jim, and of course I'm entertaining them with a charity dinner to get them interested, and by looking like I'm talking to powerful people It's a false impression that we have a lot of friendship, talk to the other party about cooperation.” Tommy patted the thick stack of SSDs on the seat next to him and the information of several military alumni:

"Whether these guys help us lend money to other people in the army or school, we can guarantee that no interest will be charged in the early stage, and only the principal will be returned. It doesn't matter if he likes to earn interest himself, or he likes to use interest-free loans to gain a good reputation , whatever they want, you just need to develop customers, it doesn't matter, because soon, we need them, and they need us, as long as money is still attractive to him, they will be inseparable from us.”

Jim has already seen the strangeness, and nodded lightly: "Habit formation, SSD's most stupid* behavior is to accept you into the club. You are using the banner of SSD to make those minds far less mature than your peers, but you The guy who feels worth cultivating will become your small circle brother, you are young and rich, and you are willing to lend a helping hand to SSD brothers, and they will all like you."

   "To the point, Jim, use your National Review pimping skills and help me catch some powerful people," Tommy asked Jim.

Jim stubbed out the cigarette butt, and looked at Tommy speechlessly: "There must be bait for this kind of thing before you can fish. You have to show me the bait you are going to use to attract big fish, so I can judge whether it can help you or not." pimp."

Tommy picked up a folder in the stack of materials and threw it to Jim: "During this time, I relied on various military newspapers and magazines to learn about the problems, and then I tried how to help them as a rich man, This folder contains my thoughts."

   "I think I still have a say in the selection of bait." Jim opened the folder and browsed quickly before saying to Tommy:

"Generally there's always some dumb senator who thinks they have an idea to try to get a good opinion of a service member or a veteran, and want to put it in National Review, but they keep ignoring the Department of Veterans Affairs they singled out, Veterans Agencies such as the Military Health Administration are also part of the military, so overtures often backfire, and you're fine with not making that mistake."

Jim used to work as an assistant to the editor-in-chief of "National Review". He had dealt with many manuscripts of congressmen, which he called bait. Or to put it slickly, just some social assistance programs for soldiers, veterans and their families, which are very suitable for some congressmen who want to seek peace with the military to raise some impression points.

  It's just that in Jim's opinion, compared with Tommy Hawk's plan to cheat people, his plan to help people with sincerity is much darker, and it is a little less attractive to him.

  Jim closed the folder, and gave his parity after reading it: "Did you find someone to write it for you? This stuff is far from the level of design you made for your own profit, and it lacks sincerity."

   "I'm going to send my own brother into the army to defend our country. Isn't sincerity enough? If you feel lack of sincerity, you can figure out a way. I've tried my best." Tommy said after taking a sip of wine.

  Jim lazily stretched his upper body: "If you want me to help throw out your trash, it depends on your sincerity. One dinner is not enough."

   "So?" Tommy asked.

   "You owe me a welcome party with at least 120 pretty girls." Jim patted the folder and said to Tommy.

Tommy nodded: "Deal, you get it done, I will prepare two hundred girls to accompany you in Las Vegas, and I will let my new driver and bodyguard, Mr. Page, help you count by the side. want to leave."

Damn, I also said to try to update during the day, but the child had a fever, which was quite scary, and it was past ten o'clock before sitting on the computer after busy work... Let's see, I will continue to code for a while, don't wait, everyone~ Tomorrow Let's change together, show more...
