Chapter 387 Bicycle Ads Tied to the Election

CBS, headquartered in New York, has the highest coverage in the United States.

Before Fox TV entered the United States, this grandson was almost carefree.

At this moment, not only Chinatown in New York, but also Chinatown in San Francisco saw the food advertisement of "Wonderful Night in the Forbidden City" on TV.

It was just past 7 o'clock in the evening, and the food street that was bustling in previous years was still a light scene with little oil and salt.

With a little while, the bookstores and video stores on the same street... all went quiet.

The less business there is, the more reluctant the lights in the shops are to turn on.

Looking at the dim appearance from a distance, it is comparable to the Chinatown during the conservative treatment of the new crown in later generations.

Outside the door of Cuixiang Pavilion Tea Restaurant, several chefs were accompanying their boss Fang, standing in front of the door of their own restaurant.

Looking at the black and white words on the glass door "Our dishes do not contain MSG", several people's brows have never relaxed.

"What do you say? Should we tear this piece of paper off?"

"Or... wait and see what happens in the next few days?"

"I also think we should wait and see. Although the advertisement does look very exciting, no one can guarantee that it will be effective."

In the phone calls they received in advance, colleagues in New York's Chinatown repeatedly persuaded them to take down the notice.

Although everyone was excited by the food advertisements on TV just now.

But when it came to the time to do it, they started to hesitate again.

At this time, the sound of car engines approaching from afar at the intersection of the street attracted them to look over.

More than ten seconds later, several cars drove over.

Just like that, while several chefs and Boss Fang were still in a daze.

Three or two San Francisco citizens had already pushed the door and walked into Cuixiang Pavilion excitedly.

Looking at their own restaurant, they suddenly became busy under their noses.

Until the boss's wife came out excitedly to greet the chef, Boss Fang, who was full of surprise, hurriedly followed in with small steps.

The moment he passed by the store, he pulled down the "MSG-free" notice with a hissing sound.

Sha, s, snap...

At the same time, in Chinatowns in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago..., notices of "MSG-free" were being torn off in various ways.

I don't know whether the temptation of food advertisements is too great, or whether these Americans who originally love Chinese food have been holding back for too long.

Anyway, all Chinese restaurants, big and small, have ushered in a wave of retaliatory consumption.

At this time, Chen Zichao and boss Fang have not realized that with the continuous broadcast of the two advertisements "MSG Popular Science Animation" and "Forbidden City Wonderful Night".

Chinese restaurants in a foreign country will quickly enter a heyday.

The series of expansions that emerged later not only made them feel the new direction of getting rich by cooperating internally and externally.

It will also allow the domestic business bureau to thoroughly see the breaking trend of a group of advertising propaganda.

...

But at this moment, several people gathered in the small hotel are gossiping to foreign TV media.

"No one is here to regulate the TV stations in the United States."

Just after watching the commercials he participated in, Huang Yongyu started to talk nonsense to the TV:

"I waited so hard for a movie, but how come several commercials popped up after a while? It's really outrageous."

No one responded after this.

At this moment, except for the two old comrades in the guest room, the others were either from the TV station or the advertising company.

Watching the commercials on the TV, it was more envious than who would criticize.

Only Wang Shixiang would feel sorry for his old friend: "Anyway, you can't understand what it broadcasts, so why not watch the commercials and learn about the four modernizations of the American empire!"

After rolling his eyes at the other party, Huang Yongyu, who looked at the TV again, stopped talking.

Maybelline's fragrant red lips, Lux soap rubbing her calves, Brooke Shields' stockings, Apple computers that said "We are 100 times stronger than IBM"...

Looking around, the most advertisements are automobiles.

However, Jiangshan, who was at the meeting, was watching Michael Jackson riding a Suzuki scooter on TV with an auntie's smile.

"Has the US TV station been bought by the government?"

Looking at the election subtitles scrolling above and below the screen, Wang Shixiang was completely convinced: "Why are they promoting 24 hours a day?"

Since Jiangshan and his party came to New York, they happened to catch up with the 1980 US election.

The overwhelming advertising made the comrades dazzled.

"That's right," Huang Hua smiled and said, "If we charge money for this, who can afford it?"

Wang Fulin also felt that these candidates everywhere were exaggerating beyond measure: "Don't let your family property be squandered before you are elected president."

"Don't worry," Yu Sigui said at this time: "These candidates don't have to pay for it themselves, right Jiangshan?"

"Yes," Jiangshan nodded: "Someone will help them pay."

"Who?" Zhang Lu asked curiously: "Which fool would do this?"

"I'm not a fool,"

Jiangshan's eyes finally left the TV: "It's the old leader of Anliang Hall that we heard about in Chinatown today. He brought a lot of sponsorship for Roseford back then."

Wang Fulin: "The one who was carried to Tiananmen Square?"

"That's him," Jiang Shan said: "After his lawyer Roosevelt took the position of president, he immediately started the cancellation of the Chinese Exclusion Act."

"Why does this sound like a deal?" Wang Fulin said: "Did they agree in advance?"

Jiang Shan affirmed: "Isn't it just a transaction?"

"Then President Luo's courage is really extraordinary!"

"He's not even brave," Jiang Shan said, "There are people even more outrageous than him."

Wang Fulin: "Who?"

"Nixon," Jiang Shan said, "Speaking of which, the key figure who helped him ascend to the throne was a female comrade in our country."

"who?"

Now not only Wang Fulin, but also Huang Yongyu and Wang Shixiang became curious: "Which woman in our country has this ability?"

Can you actually reach out to the United States?

"Have you all heard of Chennault?" Jiang Shan looked at everyone.

Huang Yongyu: "Who doesn't know him yet?"

Wang Shixiang: "Flying Tigers!"

"Speaking of which, although this man formed the Flying Tigers back then," Wang Fulin said, "our country doesn't have a good word to say about him."

In the eyes of Wang Fulin's generation, Chennault's political outlook has never been better.

Not long after the founding of New China in 1950, a 40-page comic strip called "Chennault the Snitch" was released.

The next year, Shanghai Film Studio made another movie called "Chennault".

Until the new edition of "Cihai" was released in 1979, you can still clearly see this description of him:

Smuggling and selling drugs, hunting for huge profits, reconnaissance and bombing of liberated areas...

However, Jiangshan knows that with the deepening of reform and opening up, Chennault's image will be re-evaluated next year.

"Chennault did two very awesome things back then," Jiang Shan continued: "One was to take the lead in forming the Flying Tigers, and the other was to marry a Chinese wife."

Several people who also married Chinese wives looked at Jiangshan silently.

"The Chinese woman that Old Chen married is not a fuel-efficient lamp," Jiang Shan:

"Although she became a widow at a young age, she was no less successful in the United States than Lao Chen."

"Is the name of the person you are talking about called Chen Xiangmei?" Huang Yongyu has heard some of her stories: "Isn't she a guest of the old Jiang family?"

"Yes," Jiang Shan nodded: "That's her..."

As the first Chinese to enter the White House, Chen Xiangmei took every step very accurately.

In 1968, the United States, which was mired in the Vietnam War, held anti-war demonstrations almost every day.

This is not bad, seeing that people who work and go to school in their own country have no intention of doing it anymore.

Those who wanted to fuck the president immediately realized a decisive move: the armistice must be completed by themselves!

In order to prevent Johnson, who was seeking re-election, from succeeding in the "Vietnam War Peace Negotiations".

Candidate Nicolson appointed Chen Xiangmei, who had just joined the campaign team, as a special envoy.

A message was sent to the South Vietnamese Embassy in Washington: As long as they boycotted the peace talks, they could get Nixon's support in the future.

In the end, Chen Xiangmei fulfilled her mission and really convinced the ambassador.

"In this way, Nixon successfully won the election," Jiangshan Bapo said: "It was not until many years later when he resigned as president that this matter came out."

"In order to succeed in the election," Wang Shixiang said loudly: "Let the people of the two countries continue to fight?"

"No," Jiang Shan said, "One is the leader of the United States, and the other is the ambassador of Vietnam. Everyone nodded. As the middleman, what does Chen Xiangmei care about."

According to American historians, if it were not for Nixon and Chen Xiangmei, the Vietnam War might have ended in 1968.

As a result, with their efforts, the war not only dragged on until 1975, but also cost the lives of 20,000 Americans and millions of Vietnamese.

"Then after Chen Xiangmei helped,"

According to Situ Meitang's purpose of overturning the Chinese Exclusion Act, Huang Yongyu wanted to know: "What benefits did Nicoson give her?"

"Leave the finances of the Republican Party in her hands."

"Good boy, no wonder she works so hard."

"That's it, after Nicolson stepped down," Jiang Shan: "When faced with the interview, Chen Xiangmei still complained that the other party did not fulfill the original promise afterwards."

"This position is not enough," Huang Yongyu said, "Does she still want to go to heaven?"

"Don't tell me that she really has this ability," Jiang Shan pointed to the picture of Reagan on TV and said, "Now, Chen Xiangmei has joined this comrade's campaign team again."

Wang Shixiang: "Come again?"

Huang Yongyu: "She is ready to take this road to the end!"

"As you see,"

At this time, Huang Hua looked at the TV and smiled: "Which one of them can win?"

Several people in the room were already familiar with the election follow-up report being broadcast on TV.

Zhang Lu: "Carter."

Wang Fulin also said: "Carter."

For today's people, Carter's performance is still remarkable.

Wang Shixiang: "I also choose Carter."

"Speak like you can vote,"

Huang Yongyu, who holds a different opinion, believes: "In my opinion, Reagan should be more likely."

"Why?" Jiang Shante turned his head curiously: "Why is he so likely?"

"As for the bitch you just mentioned," Huang Yongyu said sharply: "It sounds like she is a powerful person at first glance. How could she not find out more clearly before placing a bet? She will never choose a side easily without a 70% certainty."

"It makes sense," Jiang Shan nodded: "I also think Reagan will win, but it's not because of Chen Xiangmei."

Although this woman is powerful, it's not the time for her to be completely cheating yet.

"Then what's your reason?"

"Because of him," at this time, Yu Sigui slapped a newspaper on the table:

"It's because of him that Jiangshan chose to publish his bicycle advertisement in the New York Post."

"It's not just for this reason," Huang Hua said with a smile: "Jiang Shan and I wanted to place an advertisement in the New York Times, but the other party's price was too high."

"The tall ones are all over the place," Jiang Shan continued, "I feel like they are deliberately making things difficult."

"But compared to the circulation of the New York Times,"

Although he did not participate in the Pujiang Light Industry Bureau's mission, Wang Fulin still gave his own opinion: "The effect of publishing it in the New York Post is probably much worse."

Huang Hua: "There's nothing we can do about it, the total budget is only so much."

Wang Fulin: "Why do they want to temporarily increase prices?"

Huang Hua looked at Jiang Shan: "The advertisement designed by Jiang Shan is indeed a bit difficult to type. The other party will definitely not miss this opportunity to increase the price."

Zhang Lu: "Then why didn't the New York Post increase its price?"

"Didn't Manager Huang just say that?" Jiang Shan glanced at the other party: "The circulation of the New York Post is not good."

"Aren't you worried that a newspaper with low circulation will not be effective?"

"Don't worry, its owner is no ordinary person,"

Jiang Shan pointed to a copy of the New York Post on the table: "In the ten days since we came to New York, the circulation of the New York Post has skyrocketed like a rocket."

Faced with the sky-high asking price from the New York Times, Jiangshan turned around and sent the bicycle advertisement to the New York Post.

After getting a reply that it can be published, but scheduling is difficult.

Jiangshan simply pushed the release date of the advertisement to one day after the announcement of the test launch of the launch vehicle.

"Why is this?" Huang Yongyu was surprised: "What has this newspaper done recently to increase its circulation in more than ten days?"

"The owner of this newspaper is named Rupert Murdoch," Jiang Shan clicked on the New York Post:

"Currently, he is using his own newspaper to build momentum for candidate Ronald Reagan. Do you know who Murdoch has promoted to leadership positions before this?"

"who?"

"Thatcher."

"..." Wang Fulin: "So you think Reagan may win?"

"Well," Jiang Shan became excited when he mentioned running a newspaper: "This Mr. Murdoch from Australia bought the British "Sun" in the early 1970s..."

Relying on bizarre criminal cases, explosive pornographic news, political scandals...

Murdoch quickly turned the light and watery "Sun" into a small pornographic newspaper.

"At that time, if any editor published a serious piece of news in The Sun, he would immediately be scolded by Murdoch," Jiang Shan:

“Last year, in an effort to help Thatcher, Murdoch ran a full-page editorial in The Sun.

The content is half-true, half-false, suspenseful, and full of explosive stories about members of the opponent's campaign team.

Because it followed the actual facts, the circulation volume increased in a very short period of time. I don’t need to say the final result. "

There was no one in the room who didn't know where Thatcher was employed today.

"In return," Jiang Shan said what everyone wanted to know most:

"Thatcher helped Murdoch complete the acquisition of The Times, which is currently the most influential newspaper in the UK."

"..."

This was the first time I heard about Wang Fulin, the bullshit from abroad, and the more I heard about it, the more he became more and more suspicious: "Can a newspaper help a person reach the top?"

Jiang Shan smiled: "When our CCTV catches up with the American and British TV stations, you will understand how influential the media is."

Several people in the room looked at each other.

Only today did they understand that this is the democracy that capitalism talks about all day long?

"Let's take a look at the recent "New York Post"," Jiang Shan opened the newspaper on the table: "Is it exactly the same as last year's "The Sun"?"

I looked at the newspapers that had full pages praising Reagan and full pages slandering Carter, especially those eye-catching pictures...

As long as the comrades who could understand English nodded silently.

"So," Jiang Shan said firmly, "even if we publish the advertisement in the New York Post, the effect will not be much worse."

As long as the other party can layout according to their own design, Jiangshan's advertisement will be popular wherever it is published.

…

The next day, with the publication of the New York Post, advertisements for Phoenix and Forever bicycles also appeared in front of some New Yorkers.

It was not long after 8 o'clock in the morning, and the group still didn't know how effective the advertisement was.

He was about to go to a warehouse supermarket on Eighth Avenue in Manhattan under the leadership of Jiang Shan.

But when they walked out of the door of the small hotel, they were stunned by a crowd of people outside.

"this……?"

Just when several comrades were confused about the situation, former Detective O Detective Chen Zichao walked out of the crowd with a smile:

Good Cat Spirit...
