The political and economic layout of the United States has always been more important than western, and from the very beginning, it was the thirteen states in the northeast that formed the United States of America, and after the victory of the Civil War, the foundation of American politics was completely laid.

Even if California became the richest state in the United States in the future, California's voice was greatly enhanced, but that was decades later.

Although some people advocate that the political landscape of the United States has formed a barbell style of equal emphasis on things and light on the middle, this is really just a white lie.

Even a few decades later, in addition to the thirteen states in the Northeast, there are only two exceptions in the United States, one is California and one is Texas. Other regions have been insignificant on the political map of the United States.

As for now, except for the fact that the western region has received some economic policy preferences because of the Pacific War, the western states do not have much right to speak.

Because it was still the era of white supremacy, Anglo-Saxons, Irish, Germans, and Italians made up the upper class of American society. Hispanics have just gained a voice, and most Jews, whether Chinese, have the right to vote at all.

Well, blacks, they don't even think American in many states, let alone vote.

The top 10 conglomerates still control the political economy of the United States, and among the top 10 conglomerates, only the California consortium and the Texas consortium are in the west, the Chicago consortium is in the middle, and the other seven are all in the northeast.

Take the California consortium as an example, they are just a new consortium, a new consortium that only emerged after World War II, and compared with those old consortiums, today's California consortium is still very weak.

In Zhou Nan's memory, they did not until the seventies, and after twenty years of rapid development, they became the third of the top ten consortia.

Even so, the control of Bank of America, the main body of the California consortium, is still in the hands of the Eastern Consortium, and the control of many large enterprises in which they have a stake is also in the hands of the Eastern Consortium.

The real rise of the western region will not be until the new economic era after the 80s and 90s, relying on the development of such new industries as the Internet, that the western region will truly develop.

However, although the West has a smaller voice in the United States, it also has a certain degree of freedom because it is far away from the political center of the United States.

After the seventies, the United States began to preach its freedom, democracy, and the American dream all over the world, but in fact, it was also talking about the West, not the East.

In much of the eastern United States, the United States is conservative and xenophobic, not at all what they claim to be. They have erected a thick glass wall in front of hope, so that you can seem to see your dreams, but they are always out of reach.

Zhou Nan is not white, and he can clearly recognize the shackles of his development in the United States. Therefore, even if the west is weaker now, he is willing to develop in the west first, rather than the east, which is closer to Europe.

He only needs to plant a seed now, and he doesn't expect it to grow into a towering tree now, because he has enough patience and time.

However, although Chukor is also the owner of Hollywood's largest company, he is also only a rich man. Because he was born at the bottom and developed from a small boss of an acrobatic troupe to his current status, he did not have many connections in the upper class.

Of course, it may be the first time he brought Zhou Nan into his circle, so he didn't show all his hole cards.

The American entrepreneurs introduced to Zhou Nan today are all names that Zhou Nan has never heard of, and he has not even heard of their enterprises, such as California Tools, Max Printing, and Western Cinema.

In terms of assets, Zhou Nan may not be as good as them, but in terms of social status, Zhou Nan is far higher than them. Although Zhou Nan is the youngest, he dominates today's gathering.

Even Stolko, who had been in prison for more than ten years because of his relationship with the great teacher, none of these people dared to snub him.

Although the two sides belong to the political opposite forces, the name and status of the mentor are not something that a group of businessmen dare to despise.

Paramount's headquarters is beautifully built, like a big park, where the April sun is lukewarm and everyone chatting under umbrellas on the lawn, playing two games on the adjacent tennis court, or swinging a few rounds on the golf training rink.

There is also a beautiful waitress service next to it, and a beautiful female star chats with you, which makes most people very satisfied.

Zhou Nan knows that this is the golden age of Hollywood, but it is also the darkest age. Don't talk about ordinary little stars, even big stars, they generally can't escape the unspoken rules...... No, it's now a matter of clear rules.

Since the advent of Hollywood, it has been prevalent for actors and actresses to trade their bodies for opportunities. The craziest was the filming of Gone with the Wind eight years ago, and Scarlett's casting drove women all over the United States crazy. Countless actresses have openly declared in the newspapers that they are willing to exchange their bodies with anyone just to get this opportunity.

These are all big stars, and the little stars are even crazier. Producer Selznick once received a huge package, and when the package was opened, it was a second-rate actress naked.

It is in this way that they strive for every opportunity, which has also become a reason for the conservative camp in the east to criticize the backwardness and barbarism of the west.

Zhou Nan only needs to hook his fingers, and I'm afraid that any girl will take the initiative to take off her clothes.

But he only made countless promises to Audrey yesterday, even if there was inevitably a little turmoil in his heart, he controlled it well.

If Audrey was upset by a momentary pleasure, it was definitely not what he wanted to see. What's more, he is not willing to desecrate the love between himself and Audrey.

However, his self-respect has also won the praise of everyone's hearts, Chukor has seen too many big people who can't stand the temptation of women, and there are really not many people like Zhou Nan who are so reserved that they are a little suspicious.

This is the ethics that a public figure should have.

In the afternoon, Audrey's makeup was finally determined, and Zhou Nan left the party scene as if fleeing to see what Audrey would become.

Her long hair was cut short, and her thick eyebrows were trimmed into thin eyebrows, which was a little less mature than usual and more childish.

Because she put some shadow-increasing makeup on her face, and two hundred hanging hair blocked part of her face, her face seemed smaller.

Because her face was covered with a layer of powder, it blocked her ruddy little face and looked a little malnourished.

Her eyes were the most satisfying of all, pure, smart and shy eyes, which were originally her incomparable natural aura. Full of curiosity about the world but shy, any girl wants to have such eyes as her.

At this time, she was wearing a cheap, shabby school uniform-style coat with a round-lapel shirt underneath, and this look was completely based on one of Anne Frank's most widely circulated photographs.

Seeing her outfit, Otto Frank couldn't control his excitement again, and silently burst into tears on the side.

Zhou Nan patted him lightly on the shoulder, but didn't say anything, Audrey's outfit is definitely a soft place that touches the deepest part of his heart, and any persuasion is powerless in reality.

But he quickly adjusted his emotions, wiped away his tears, and said with a smile: "Jonas, this seems to have been arranged by God. Audrey and Anne are both the same age, both in the Netherlands, except that in '43 she followed you to Switzerland, while Anne was imprisoned in a concentration camp. Now Audrey seems to be living for Anne, and in her, I see the shadow of Anne. ”

"Believe me, although Anne has left us, she will never be forgotten and will always live in our hearts."

Audrey's appearance attracted the attention of those reporters again, and countless films were wasted one by one. Zhou Nan could have imagined that by tomorrow, Audrey's photos and Anne's photos would definitely appear in the major media in the United States.

Although the makeup has been set, it does not mean that Audrey is fine. Tomorrow is the opening ceremony, and Audrey will definitely face all kinds of difficulties or pursuit from the media.

Whatever happens, Audrey will have to take it in stride in order to conquer the whole of America.

With her as the center, the staff of the Public Relations Department and the Propaganda Department began to meet again to discuss how to deal with the media tomorrow.

Etinny brought Zhou Nan several scripts of various genres, and Zhou Nan also stayed in a quiet room to read them.

It wasn't until dinner time that Audrey finished her work, she changed back into her clothes, took Zhou Nan's arm, and got on the bus with Chukol.

In order to facilitate Zhou Nan, Chukor had already booked dinner at the Hilton Hotel, which was regarded as a pick-up for Zhou Nan.

In addition to meeting some entrepreneurs during the day today, there were also many strangers in the evening.

Zhou Nan still feels very regretful, this level seems to be a bit low, and he has not seen a historical "celebrity" until now.

Back in her room, Audrey and her helper were still busy, Zhou Nan gave up the living room, ready to go to the conference room to continue to discuss the future political system and economic system with his compatriots.

At this time, Stolko said: "Jonas, I personally think that the political center of the United States is still in the east, and we should go directly to the east instead of trying in the west." ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said: "The victory in World War II has made Americans swell. Now Europe needs the United States, and the whole world needs the United States, and they are even more inflated. We want to increase our influence in the United States, and we must not break into their base camp in the first place, which would make me the center of the maelstrom. I prefer to be slower because, I'm only 25 years old, and I'm more patient than anyone else. ”

But Zhou Nan didn't expect that he didn't want to get involved directly, but the next day he received a call from Washington, which forced him to be dragged into the whirlpool.
