For two infinite geometric sequences $\left\{ a _ { n } \right\} , \left\{ b _ { n } \right\}$ with the same common ratio, $a _ { 1 } - b _ { 1 } = 1$, $\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } a _ { n } = 8$, and $\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } b _ { n } = 6$. Find the value of $\sum _ { n = 1 } ^ { \infty } a _ { n } b _ { n }$. [3 points]
