1207 Don’t Mess with Me
When leaving the Palace Cinema in the evening, the three of Lynch also received a souvenir.
A book of "The Adventures of Lynch 2", a drifting bottle with a boat inside, a handicraft, a gift certificate, and... something that should also be considered a work of art.
The gift certificate is a movie ticket. The holder of the gift certificate can bring three people to watch any Fox Film movie for free in any theater within a year. It may not be the highest value, but the sincerity is definitely in place and it is very practical.
In the past two years, Fox Studios has released about ten to twenty movies every year. Assume that the ticket price of each movie is one yuan and ninety-nine cents. Calculated based on fifteen movies, this is thirty yuan, plus three people watching Shadow, that’s ninety dollars.
In fact, it is more than 90 yuan, and it can be used repeatedly, which means that the 90 yuan can also be used repeatedly.
As long as the skin is thick enough, it's worth nine hundred yuan!
However, I believe that most of the people who can enter here will not take advantage of this. What they want is the privilege brought by this movie ticket!
When others need to buy tickets, they only need to show such a ticket to enter and watch the movie. This kind of treatment is enough to make all film critics willing to write a few good words for Fox Pictures.
Isn't this the "respect" they are pursuing?
As for the thing that makes people a little confused about what it is, it is actually a western cowboy riding a horse made of one-dollar bills, at least that's what it seems.
It's all made up of one-dollar notes, about one hundred and ninety-nine. If you want to say this is a bribe, then obviously it doesn't have to be.
But if you want to say that it is really a work of art, the person who made it could have used other materials instead of money.
Maybe in the eyes of rich people, in the eyes of people who won't notice that it's one hundred and ninety-nine dollars, it's just a work of art.
But from the perspective of those who cannot help but associate it with money, it is one hundred and ninety-nine dollars!
After returning to the hotel, Lynch and the two girls exercised for a while. Lying on the bed and smoking a cigarette, Lynch watched some reports about tonight's premiere broadcast on the TV screen.
Nellie, who was lying on his right side, suddenly made a request that was regarded as a question, "Can I try to be a director?" she asked.
She felt that she actually had no talent in acting. Unlike Penny, she could immediately enter the plot at any time and anywhere as long as she read the script.
Most of the directors who have worked with Penny have praised her, not for her acting skills, but for her talent.
With such talent and acquired acting skills, which can be obtained through hard work, she will definitely become a top-notch star in the Federation.
But Nelly herself can't do it. She doesn't have such talent. During this filming, she felt that she had "tried her best".
From her own point of view, she thought she could perform better, be more tense and infectious, but she just couldn't make herself have these qualities.
She was thinking that maybe she could try being a director.
Lynch nodded, "Okay!" without any hesitation.
It's not that he trusts Nellie so much or favors Nellie, but that such small things are not worth thinking about.
He didn't even have the desire to use his brain, just some small money, that's not important.
Nellie gets what she wants and smiles more so she can help out her former roommates.
Maybe I can also find a different future on this path of directing.
And all this is because of Lynch.
She quietly retreated into the quilt, hesitating, unable to express some words of thanks.
Lynch returned to Bupen after playing in Lardmore for two days, and with Fox's listing, he also needed to come back.
But he doesn't care much about Fox's listing. Judging from the current evaluation, the total market value of Fox Films after its listing will not exceed 10 million federal soles.
After dilution, Lynch's shares were still 15%, which was just over one million. He didn't care much about these small amounts of money.
On the second day after Lynch returned, something unexpected happened.
Perhaps the "other half of the world" Pengeo and its allies sensed the pressure brought by the federation. Not only did they unite, they also did a very special thing and raised tariffs on some federal products.
Raising tariffs is actually equivalent to telling those international traders, "Don't fucking send these things I mentioned to us anymore."
Raising tariffs will increase costs and make it less competitive in the market.
The products included in the tariff adjustment list by Penjiao Group this time involve 13 categories and more than 40 specific products, including cheap lighters and luxury lighters, as well as daily lighting such as gasoline and oil lamps. equipment, and some small electronic equipment.
This is not directed at any one country, but at the entire World Development Council member states.
So the next day Lynch attended an economic security meeting at the Department of International Affairs as "senior adviser to the Federal Security Council's Office of Economic Security."
Before the meeting, Lynch was smoking on the balcony and happened to bump into Mr. Trueman, and the two got together again.
"They are very targeted this time. It is possible that we will split the world in half..." He stopped talking, took out his lighter and lit it, and lit another cigarette for Lynch.
Lynch looked into the distance without any response to Mr. Trueman's views.
Before the emergence of truly deterrent strategic weapons, humans will show their hostility to each other without hesitation. There is no force that can make them shut up and stop what they are doing.
So the world has actually been divided into many parts from the beginning, but now some of the fragments have gradually merged together, and finally became what it is today.
Half is the alliance led by countries such as the Federation and Gefra, and the other half is organizations from Pengeo and other countries. The world is completely opposed to each other.
Mr. Trueman flicked the ashes from his cigarette. "Do you think we need to fight back?"
Lynch's expression finally changed. He turned to look at Mr. Trueman with a look of surprise on his face, "Does anyone plan to just let it go?"
Mr. Trueman looked back at the balcony door. The door was well closed. No one paid attention to it, and no one came near it.
He lowered his voice slightly, "You know, Mr. President is a little afraid of war..."
Lynch understood immediately.
Yes, Mr. President, he almost forgot about this guy.
Mr. President is a politician, and the political platform of any politician is formulated for the election.
Just as the political platform of the Conservative Party has begun to lean towards radicality and toughness, they have begun to talk about initiative issues in state and local elections. After hearing those words, who can imagine that they are all Conservatives?
But they are the Conservative Party, because their political platform is to unite more international allies and isolate international enemies. This can also be seen as a kind of conservatism, conservatism in the international community.
In fact, the same is true for Mr. President, a conservative in the Progressive Party, and he is afraid of war.
A few years ago, the Federation people excessively publicized the horror of war, so that many people were afraid of war. Coupled with the lack of confidence in the Federation society at that time, people's dislike of war reached an extreme level.
Now everything has changed. Many people have changed. The younger the people, the faster the change.
Old people, slow down.
Mr. President does not want the two largest war blocs in the world to escalate into a local war due to trade frictions. This seems a bit uneconomical and not safe enough.
"We must fight back, and we must fight back ferociously!" Lynch finally gave his opinion, "If we let people like Pengeo restrict us economically, the people will be disappointed..."
Whether the people are disappointed or not, in fact, politicians have long ago not cared.
There is no one who is not disappointed. If you list the things that politicians promised the people to do, at least 60 to 70% of the things in this table have not been realized.
The people have been disappointed and will continue to be disappointed. This is inevitable.
The "people" Lynch really wants to talk about are actually the big capitalists. If the capitalists are disappointed, then the voters they "represent" will also be disappointed.
Mr. Trueman obviously understood this, "Do you have any good suggestions?"
"What they gave to us, we will give back to them!"
After a while, the meeting officially began, with Lynch present.
After Mr. Trueman spread some information, he talked about these things and discussed countermeasures.
This is precisely the main responsibility of the Department of International Affairs, which mainly formulates and responds to some international changes.
The tone has been set from the beginning, that is, competition, opposition, and confrontation!
The sky in August is obviously clear, but it always gives people an indescribable feeling, like... a storm is coming!
Two days later, in the temporary office conference room of the World Development Council in Cydoras, representatives of the Federation submitted a "Recommendation for the Control of Sensitive Materials" to all representatives.
In this bill, the federation lists a number of sensitive materials that need to be controlled and will no longer be transported to countries outside the World Development Council.
As the first bill of the World Development Committee, it was passed unanimously. On the day of adoption, all member states began to specifically stop the export of certain materials.
The Federation also announced a minimum increase of 100% and a maximum increase of 500% in protective tariffs on imported products from Pengeo and other countries!
Later, a reporter photographed the dissatisfaction on Minister Peng Jie'ao's face when he came out of the Ministry of International Affairs. He roared loudly at the door of the Ministry of International Affairs before leaving. The atmosphere in the country suddenly became tense!
