Chapter 1378 We are the ones who really love sports!

Many people think that the success of "Millionaire" is because of the 100 million.

Yes, it does help a lot, but it's not all.

The reason why people like to watch it is because many people at the bottom see themselves in these players.

Maybe these players have some potential to represent the bottom line in some way, and people hope they can win, just like telling themselves in the mirror, "You will succeed."

The only surplus of the people at the bottom is empathy, they can even sigh for the bankruptcy of the rich!
Naturally, there is no lack of 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 highlight.

When people start "fighting" for money, it is full of conditions that people can't help but keep watching!
In the final finale, 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 1000 lucky viewers from the correct answerers and reward you with [-] yuan gold coupons..."

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

One dollar is not much, and betting 1000 yuan with one dollar seems to be a very good deal.

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

Capital is never benevolent or merciful, it is always dirty and ugly, because it can make all compromises for profit!
"That No. [-] player is very cunning, he almost diverted his firepower!" Catherine accurately assessed the No. [-] player's treachery.

The number four contestant is actually a teacher who lost his job and was expelled from the school because he reported something to the school board about something that happened in the school.

He lost his job, offended a few people, and ended up serving as the principal of the school with nothing to do, and he was completely rejected by the local education system.

No one likes people who break certain unspoken rules, not even schools.

A loyal, honest, and morally persistent teacher, at this time, for the sake of "ideals", he also began to give up some things.

Or to revive something.

These are all in his hands!
Lynch added, "In fact Harry's odds are the lowest of any institution..."

Catherine was a little confused, she didn't know much about the gaming syndicate, "So he's actually the one with the lowest approval rating?"

"People don't think he can win?"

Lynch shook his head, and popularized common sense for her, "This shows that the most people support him, and the most people believe that he can win the final victory. There is nothing wrong with the strategy of player No. [-], but the other two have problems. personal."

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

Harry looks ordinary, but the most people bet on him, which is actually very telling, people are optimistic about him.

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

Catherine confessed her ignorance of gambling, and at the same time she turned her head and thought of a very weird question.

"They used your show as a gamble, have they already infringed?"

Since becoming a city councilor, she has been involved in some cases related to infringement, and sometimes she herself feels that the law may be a bit too harsh.

But the law is the law, which also made her realize that if the gaming company really did this, then did they constitute an infringement on Lynch?

Because they use Lynch's program to benefit themselves, which is obviously wrong, let alone whether it is legal or not, at least it is immoral and incorrect.

Lynch acted indifferent, "We have signed an agreement. Every season, they will give me 100 million and 5.00% of the total revenue, so I agreed with them to do this, otherwise you think they would dare to do this. ?"

In fact, this matter is much more complicated than what Catherine imagined and what Lynch said.

There are many "invisible" industries in the Federation. These industries are not very popular with people. The "attention" mentioned here is people's curiosity about their profits.

For example, education.

No one will require each education group to publish its annual report and various results like the companies listed on the Bupain Exchange.

People don't even think about doing it because they think... no, no, they don't think education is profitable at all.

It may be said when it comes to college tuition fees, most of the time their attention is not focused on this aspect.

Another example is medical treatment.

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

And, the gaming industry.

Few people care about how profitable the gaming industry is, how much it earns each year, the composition of its company, the composition of shareholders, the composition of shareholders' equity and more complicated issues.

If someone really does that, it will be discovered that one of the biggest supporters of the joint sports meeting is actually a private equity fund indirectly controlled by the shareholders of the gaming group.

These funds transfer a large amount of funds to the public account of the United Games and the accounts of high-level officials every year. The reason is to support the development of federal sports. In fact, the gaming group and the United Games are dismantling the accounts behind the scenes!

There must be something to bet on when it comes to gambling, and there is nothing more suitable than intense sports.

The strong competition and uncertainty make the gaming companies earn soft money every year from all levels of sports events in the Federation. In order to ensure that these things that can help them make money will not collapse, they have become the biggest contributors to the progress of sports. one.

This sounds funny, but it is not. In the final analysis, it is all caused by the tendency of capital to pursue profits!

There were reports of collusion between gaming companies and athletes before, but it disappeared quickly, and even the person who reported it disappeared.

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

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

Sometimes making money is indeed as simple as he said.

The game is still going on.

Harry and number four have each lost a card, and it is normal for Harry to lose points.

He has not come out of the previous game method, which limited the player's thinking to various fixed clues.

If you are given a yellow color, you have to think about it, but now it is different, the free question and answer completely let go of the restrictions of thinking.

A lot of things became easier all of a sudden, just like Harry thought that baseball could last at least seven or eight questions at first, but only two questions made him almost die.

Balls, large courts, just a few kinds of balls need large courts, when Wei Wei continued to ask him, the question he asked 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 here in the morning. Apart from explaining the rules of the game in advance, they also need to sign some contracts.

If one of them wins the championship, they will continue to promote this program for free, and at the same time cooperate with the TV station for free to shoot another documentary-like program - "The Newly Born Millionaire"

This program will record a series of changes that happen when a person suddenly changes from being poor to having more than a million. What will happen to their life, family, and social communication will become something that attracts people.

As this book always tells everyone, 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 will continue to contribute their popularity to Lynch and the TV station!
They spent the whole morning understanding these things. Of course, the TV station also told them bluntly that after signing the agreement, the TV station will 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.

They had a working meal at the TV station at noon.

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

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

So there is steak and chicken for lunch, which is what most federal people eat most often.

Harry's question is - "Is it on our menu for lunch today?"

Contestant No. [-] 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 the family, the complicated preparation of fish steak is a problem, and it is difficult to cook it as delicious as steak.

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

Removed the option of fish, which is common in daily life, and the federal people don't like to eat pork, so the only option left is sheep.

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

Player No. [-]'s strategy is the same as his, hoping to confuse some questions more, ignoring the fact that the questioner can directly ignore many invalid answers!

They all decided to change tactics, and decided to unite and form a temporary alliance!
