Chapter 283: Dry Stocks
Tang Ning said in his heart, why is the probability of this copy having the same name so high? Not only is the surname of this US Army captain exactly the same as his own name, but even the name of his lover Han Xuewei crashed, this, this shouldn't be a spoof of the system god, right?
But on the surface, Tang Ning could only pretend to be indifferent and replied: "No, nothing, I just know a girl with the same name as you." ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢.lā"
"Oh, what a coincidence." "Han Xuewei" sighed.
"Okay, now I'm going to go out for a while, do I want to give you a ride?" Tang Ning diverted the subject.
Han Xuewei nodded again and again and replied, "That's too troublesome for you." ”
After a while, when she arrived at the door of Han Xuewei's house, Tang Ning put her down and drove away alone. But he left, but Han Xuewei's house was lively.
In fact, when Downing's Ford sedan drove to the door just now, Han Xuewei's parents had already noticed it, because at this time in Japan, only the US military and some Japanese bigwigs could afford to drive a car, not that there were so few cars, but that gasoline was too expensive, and ordinary people could not afford it and had no channels to buy it, and there were still some people who could afford it and had channels, but they did not dare to drive it in order to be low-key.
When he saw his daughter get out of the car, Han's father immediately came up and asked Han Xuewei, "Weiwei, who was driving just now?" ”
Han Xuewei replied triumphantly: "Mr. Tony Downing, Captain of the U.S. Army." ”
"Captain of the U.S. Army? Weiwei: When did you meet such a big person? Han's mother asked her daughter in surprise.
"Didn't I go to Tokyo Radio today to apply for an announcer, and that's when I met." Han Xuewei replied happily.
"So, you're applying for an announcer?" Han Mu also asked happily.
Han Xuewei shook her head and replied, "No, those Japanese people said that I was Chinese and didn't let me go in for an interview." ”
"These damn little devils, we can't even go home for him, and they still discriminate against us?" Father Han complained hatefully, and then frowned and asked his daughter, "Eh, then you didn't even go to the interview, how did you get into this Captain Downing's car?" ”
Han Xuewei explained: "Because when I was arguing with those Japanese at the door, I happened to be met by Captain Tang Ning when he came out, so he asked about it. ”
"And then he arranged for you to be interviewed?" Han Mu guessed.
Han Xuewei shook her head again and replied, "No, Captain Tang Ning said that the announcer is full." Then he said, "But he said he needed a family doctor at home, and asked me if I was interested?" Then you say, how could I miss such a good thing? ”
"Yes, yes, yes, this kind of good thing must not be missed." Han's mother echoed, and then began to think about it: "I don't know if this Captain Tangning has a wife, maybe our Weiwei can become the captain's wife." ”
"I already asked about this just now, Captain Downing is not married yet, but there are three maids at home." Han Xuewei replied quickly.
"Huh?! Three maids? Looks like he's a pervert too! Han's mother complained.
And Father Han retorted disapprecitatively: "Man, it's not a problem to be lustful, and for this kind of high-ranking officer, reputation is very important, as long as our Weiwei marries, she will not get divorced easily, at most, she will eat secretly outside." ”
Just when Han Xuewei's family was thinking about good things, Tang Ning was at home to receive an old friend from the United States, Jerry, Tang Ning was quite surprised by his arrival, so he asked curiously: "Jerry, why did you think of coming to Japan?" ”
"Of course I came to Japan to make a fortune!" Jerry replied casually.
Although Jerry said it lightly, Tang Ning thought he had heard it wrong, and asked with a look of disbelief: "Come to Japan to make a fortune?" Are you mistaken? The Japanese nowadays don't even have enough to eat, and you want to get rich on them? ”
"In 1929, many people starved to death in New York, but didn't anyone get rich at that time?" Jerry replied disapprovingly.
Thinking about Jerry's work hobbies and what he just said about 1929, Downing suddenly had a guess, so he asked tentatively: "Do you want to come to Japan to make movies?" ”
Unexpectedly, Jerry shook his head and replied, "No, it's not a movie, I'm here to show a movie this time." To be precise, I bought a few theaters and planned to make money by showing our Hollywood movies in Japan. ”
For Jerry's idea, Downing agrees very much, because the more this kind of economic crisis and life is difficult, the more prosperous the film industry is, and several development opportunities in Hollywood prove this, because the more this time, the more everyone needs mental stimulation and anesthesia. Of course, there were other industries that could also take advantage of the opportunity to develop at this time, such as Durex, which was developed in 1929
And now that the Japanese economy is sluggish, and Jerry is an American, the price of buying theaters is definitely not high, and he is showing Hollywood movies, which I believe will give Japanese audiences who have never seen this kind of film a refreshing feeling, so this is definitely a lucrative deal.
So Tang Ning nodded and praised: "Well, your brain is really smart, I feel that your business will definitely make money." ”
"Well, I still need Tony to do me a favor." Jerry said with a mysterious expression.
"Me? How can I help? Tang Ning asked puzzled.
"Aren't you in charge of film censorship in Tokyo right now? If you don't let him pass any movie that can compete with us, won't the money be ours at that time? Jerry said with a grin.
"When will the money be mine?" Tang Ning asked pretending to be puzzled.
Jerry feigned displeasure and replied, "Then can I let you help for nothing?" I've got you covered here. ”
Hearing Jerry say this, Tang Ning was very satisfied, in fact, he was not short of this money, but he couldn't let himself work for nothing, right? So he immediately adjusted his mentality and discussed with Jerry: "Then do you want to think about which films to play?" ”
Jerry replied confidently: "Don't worry, I've been ready for this for a long time, in fact, before I came here, I bought a lot of Japanese broadcast rights for Hollywood at a super low price, you can see the list here." With that, he pushed the list over.
Tang Ning took it and looked at it, and immediately frowned and asked, "Jerry, why are all these bad movies you bought?" Why don't you have a single Oscar or Golden Globe work? ”
"Well, of course, there is a reason for this." Jerry replied mysteriously.
