Chapter 233 Storm, Profession, Aftermath
At 08:30 in the evening, an ordinary citizen who did not give his name and tentatively called Mr. Citizen dragged his exhausted body and pushed open the door to return home.

The small room has made it difficult for him to develop the courage to change his current situation by relying on his own ability like he did when he was young, and he has begun to become numb.

"Are you back?", the citizen's wife was busy in the kitchen, the slight smell that made people want to vomit made Mr. Citizen have no strength to answer, he just responded with a "hmm", and then sat on the dilapidated sofa .

The couch caved in a small area and one of the springs in it broke, which then quickly affected the others, and eventually it became an unwelcome place, only for Mr. Citizen's wives, or if they didn't weigh too much. Children who are too heavy will sit there.

This time after the city hall reissued the food coupons, people found some problems. It was difficult for them to exchange for solid food from the relief point. The hard food like rocks that they complained about before had all been replaced with liquid food.

It looks like some shit just pulled out of something, it's packed in some tubes, and every time it's eaten, it's also very simple, put the whole tube in hot water for a while.

Then squeeze it out of the tube, like shit, onto the plate, and eat it.

Many people are not used to this new food, but the city hall said that there are too many unemployed people and too many people affected by unemployment. The city hall's finances are very tight, and they can't spend so much money to let everyone Eat enough and eat well.

Of course, if they use two or three food rolls, they can exchange them for the previous solid food, but it is obviously not cost-effective to do so.

In this case, people quickly discovered how to make these foods look slightly more palatable.

The women in the family will squeeze it on the baking tray, and then use the bottom of the cup to brush oil and press it, which can turn the poop into round biscuit-like discs.

Put it in the oven for a while, and after the water evaporates, it leaves a solid food like a biscuit.

This solves the problem of taste very well, and then they only need some worthless potatoes, tomatoes or some green vegetables and a small handful of wheat flour to make some thick soup, and they can deal with lunch or dinner very well.

The family sat under the dim light, absent-mindedly eating this not-so-delicious dinner.

Mr. Citizen's wife couldn't help but ask, "How's the situation today?", she might just feel that everyone keeps silent when the family eats together, it will make the atmosphere very heavy, she can swear, she just doesn't Loved the silence, not deliberately trying to irritate her husband.

The frustration that Mr. Citizen had suffered during this period erupted again at this moment. He had erupted several times before. He stood up abruptly and looked angrily at the stupid woman who challenged his status and majesty.

I don't know if the gaze of the son sitting on the side played a role. Mr. Citizen didn't go any further this time. He just said "disappetite" and left the restaurant, walking into the living room instead.

He turned on the TV, which was probably one of the few pleasures he and his family enjoyed now.

Fortunately, the city cable company has exempted the service fee that people have to pay during this period-in fact, TV and telephone do not need to be purchased, these are gifts, but the prerequisite is that users must subscribe to these service providers for a certain period of time service, they will give these things to people.

Some are three years, some are five years. For ordinary families, they only need to pay a service fee for TV signal access every month, and they can get a TV for free. This is a big profit, and many people have participated in it. Come in.

However, the phone situation is different, because the communication fee is real-time. In addition to paying the most basic fee for using the communication line, they also need to ensure the lowest monthly usage fee, which is not a small expense.

Most families don't need a phone for work and life, so not many people have it installed, but TV is different. Everyone likes to watch TV, and in this situation, they can't do without it.

Just when Mr. Citizen was about to watch a sports program, what surprised him was that the program was canceled and replaced with another game. He cursed something, this damn time, nothing goes well .

He looked for a job outside for a day, begging those younger than him humbly, but he still couldn't get a job.

He felt like a dog, anyone could kick him a few times, and now he was ridiculed by his wife when he returned home, and now he couldn't even watch TV to satisfy him.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and a destructive emotion full of tyranny began to protrude from the depths of his heart quietly, and it grew rapidly without his knowledge.

His eyeballs were bloodshot from rising blood pressure, and he had a desire, he wanted to pick up a kitchen knife and make all those who made him unhappy regret that they came into this world.

But at this moment, there was a brief pause in his intense and agitated emotions, and then his attention was placed on the TV screen.

Those young girls who were dressed more revealingly than his wife were running on the TV screen, galloping on the grass, watching the turbulent scene, suddenly his emotions began to calm down quickly.

The destructive emotions can only be reluctantly retracted back to the bottom of my heart, waiting for the next opportunity.

Those young bodies on the TV made Mr. Citizen even vaguely feel the delicate and smooth touch and the refreshing fragrance even through the TV.

His attention became more focused, and he would laugh when the girls collided, and even joked a few words from a professional point of view.

Most of the time, his eyes are focused on the ball. Although he has not engaged in any work related to sports, he is definitely a professional when it comes to watching football.

When the citizens' wives and children walked into the living room, they thought it would be a depressing cemetery-like atmosphere, or a volcano about to erupt.

But what they didn't expect was that Mr. Citizen had some smiles on his face.

"This kind of game is really..." Mr. Citizen, who suddenly recovered from the game, found his wife and children standing aside. He immediately felt a little blushing, and he wanted to find an excuse to explain why he was so engrossed in watching Looking at the girls, "It's really vulgar, God, they can put this kind of show on the free channel!"

Free-to-air channels are the basic services of TV companies. You can watch these programs as long as you pay the most basic fee, while some better-looking or limited programs are on premium channels, where the most exciting programs can be found.

Mr. Citizen reached out to change the channel, but was stopped by his wife, "You were very focused just now, maybe I will also like this kind of program?"

The wife is already thankful that there is a program that can calm down her furious husband. She doesn't want to be reprimanded or even beaten up by her husband after changing the channel.

If letting him look at these shameless women a few more times could make the evening go away, why did she refuse?
In this way, the family of three carefully watched this eclectic game under some kind of strange circumstances, and after turning off the lights at night, they made their lives more harmonious.

Such people, such families, are not in the minority. The next day there was a huge reaction in the society of Sabine City. Whether this kind of game is a scattered exhibition game or a regular league.

Behind all these inquiries are actually requests for more broadcasts and more new content for this kind of competition!
The leadership of the TV station held a meeting immediately, and it must be known that Lynch "bought" the time for this program through Mark's relationship.

Yes, he paid to have the game televised, but he's clearly not going to do it again.

The huge response made him adjust the relationship with the TV station one by one. If the TV station wants to continue to get the broadcast rights of the game from Lynch, they must pay.

It's just that the amount they discussed couldn't satisfy Lynch, so the joint sports meeting received the news that day-a sports that was not included in the joint sports meeting was born, and it also had good ratings and social support.

Sabine City TV station wanted to buy the broadcast rights from the United Sports Association, and offered a pretty good price.

Sabine City TV Station and the United Games have always had a cooperative relationship, and the cost of broadcasting various games alone costs about 200 million, or even a little more, every year.

The United Sports Association was also very surprised when they found out about this incident. They immediately launched an investigation, and then sent a negotiating team to talk to Lynch.

They want to incorporate Lynch's team and games, and bring this women's professional football game under the jurisdiction of the United Games.

This has been foreseen by Lynch from the very beginning, and this is also the purpose of his doing this. He wants to talk to people from the joint sports meeting about the proportion of broadcast expenses and promotion resources.

In fact, the operation of a club is not much simpler than running a company. Although it is a closed industry, the competitiveness in the industry is actually greater and more cruel than those in the open industry.

A capable team can eat and eat just by relying on broadcasting fees every year, and can maintain the size of the club in a healthy and even profitable manner.

But a team that has no ability and no means, also takes a share of the broadcast fee, but can't even maintain the most basic scale!
