The entertainment industry, the showbiz industry, would not only become the most profitable place in the future, but at the same time there were many people who would become influential here.
The Federation was an amazing country, where a cat, a dog, a horse or even a pig was able to run for president if they had enough influence.
Of course, if they can afford the expensive campaign expenses, they may even win the election.
The birth of the President of the Federation is tied to the election of the people, and according to the Baylor Federation Charter and election laws, if a person is a resident of the Federation and officially has a job, he/she/it has a vote.
Yes, the "it" here is not a slip of the pen, the Baylor Federation has so far had over a hundred animal citizens, which is certainly not a miracle, but it can be said to be a miracle, the miracle of these animal owners, and the miracle of wealth.
The miracle is that if their owners are generous enough, someone will take care of the citizenship of these pets, and they can even work, for example, as "filmmakers", which is neither a metaphor nor a curse, as there are indeed some dogs working in the movies.
A politician who wants to fulfill his life's values and ambitions in politics needs to be known so that people will vote for him before he can realize these ideals that are only for him.
Some people will choose to be actors, there are several members of the Senate who were opera singers or movie actors before they went into politics, and there are examples of celebrities in some state legislatures who have gone into politics.
First a politician needs people to know him, to be able to listen to him, and then to believe in him, and there can be no easier way to get people to all know a person than to become a star.
No one can recite by heart the name of the mayor of every city under the seventeen states of the Baylor Federation, but many people can name no less than one of the stars who have made it big on the silver screen in the last few years, and know how many movies they have made, how well they did at the box-office, what kind of scandals they have had, what kind of perfume they like, what kind of panties they like, and what kind of ...
First engaged in the acting industry, burst into the popularity of politics is a road has been proven to be very effective, but it is not completely safe, at least in the northern state is not so effective, those Yankees are more traditional, they do not like their own manager is an "actor".
But it worked in the South, where people were more forward and positive in their approach to new things.
Even if the actors have no intention of going into politics, there are politicians who are willing to get in touch with the actors and movie studios, not only because the entertainment industry generates a lot of income of all kinds, but also because they are an important means of spreading political ideas.
So running the entertainment industry is definitely not just a simple matter of making good money here, but also reaping a lot of unexpected benefits, such as friendships, such as proxies.
If Mr. Fox wasn't interested in investing in the entertainment industry, Lynch himself would have formed an entertainment company later, and it was good to know that Mr. Fox was an interesting man and a good friend.
After briefly agreeing on what to decide next, the attention of the three men in the room-mostly the Foxes, father and son-shifted from the new venture to Lynch's auction for trading used goods.
Mr. Fox was actually holding a rolled up flyer in his hand when he entered the room, at which point he handed it to Fox Jr. to look at before giving it to Lynch.
"Lynch, I'm curious, won't you lose money doing this?"
The flyer had some promotional things written on it, such as the largest and most complete auction market in the state for trading used merchandise, and so on, which was part of what Mr. Fox was very concerned about.
He'd gotten a good chunk of the money he'd used to meet the bank's interest payments after selling the mortgaged merchandise to Lynch, and now that his need for money was less pressing, it would soon be able to roll in on its own as the first loan went into harvest.
He wondered how Lynch managed to sell all those hard-to-sell things, and he had wanted to ask himself, but he hadn't realized that someone was actually scattering flyers for him on the road.
The phrase he was asking about was referring to a very eye-catching label at the bottom of the flyer, which stated that the first people to enter could each receive a belt at the end of the handing over of the auction with the flyer.
These days there is actually already artificial leather, but the expensive price of artificial leather is not at all comparable to that of an inferior leather belt, it's funny, but it's the reality, anything fashionable and newly discovered by people will have a price that matches the living does not match it's actual value, even if it will be lowered later on, it's also a thing for later on.
One thousand leather belts, each one needs at least five dollars, one thousand is five thousand dollars, renting the venue and other costs add up, the price of organizing this cross auction may be twenty to thirty thousand, they are curious, Lynch do this in the end can sell things out, as well as how many things can be sold out.
Lynch took the flyer and glanced at it, nodding his head, he was very satisfied with the design, which was also decided down after he personally nudged Richard.
On the front side, there were just two contents, one was to introduce the time and place of the second-hand goods auction, and two exaggerated promotional phrases, and the other was the enlarged and bold, red and yellow free pick-up belt.
On the reverse side were some of the processes and directories of the swap meet, which listed the more attention-grabbing things.
Originally Richard's idea is as detailed as possible, and then was Lynch approved back, this can not blame Richard, this is the limitations of the times, this is an era without big data, this is an era of information dissemination is not smooth, this is an era where people still retain some simplicity, this is an era where the productivity can not fully meet the needs of people's lives.
People's attention is still more focused on practical issues, they still seem a bit simple, and sometimes a positive word like simple is used to scold people.
That's why Lynch dismissed Richard's initial flyer design that looked like a telephone yellow pages and went with this simple and crude flyer, which wasn't designed to let people know anything, it was actually a screener.
It's a very strong screener, the first round of screening, the people who get this flyer and still come to a normal swap meet, they don't have serious financial problems in the near future, they have a potential desire to spend money, and at least they're able to waste a day of their time coming to a swap meet instead of being out looking for a job everywhere.
In the second round of screening, the people who take advantage of the smallest of advantages will be the main target, as if Mr. Fox was most concerned at the beginning, people are focusing on the free belts.
All of these people who don't have serious financial problems and who like to take advantage of cheap things actually share a roughly similar trait; they can be very impulsive and blind in their spending.
As long as something is cheap enough, even if it may not be a necessity, these people will buy it in a brainstorming situation.
Plus there is a third round of screening, that is, the back of some closely following the trend of goods, many of these things are new products that have just come out not long ago, and their prices are still very firm.
When people see those goods behind the price of 50% to 60% discount, it is inevitable that the idea of "I do not buy, I will go to see".
After three rounds of screening, these people had become Lynch's most crucial customers, and they would become Lynch's most important source of wealth.
Previously, Lynch had chatted with a relatively famous telecom industry practitioner in his cubicle, and he asked the other guy why he was able to get himself out of this life with a whole lot of trouble when some of the tactics didn't seem to be able to fool even a small child.
The guy told Lynch the truth, that when you think some information is childish, it's not that you think they're childish, it's that they're screening you out.
It's not how smart you are, it's just that you don't have the value to be lied to, that's all!
