"I made a movie called 'Enchanted' and won some accolades, and it caused a lot of criticism.

This is my dream of filmmaking, and it is worth giving up my communication major for this.

Recently, I've had more suitors, including a powerful Austrian businessman.

His parents liked him very much, and I would probably be married to Vienna soon.

……

I hope to have the opportunity to go to the United States and meet the mysterious William who is ruthless and does not reply to me.

- Poor Heidi! ”

Situ Nan was lying on a recliner with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice next to him, recalling a girl he met during the Paris Olympics a few years ago, looking at the letter she sent from Europe, feeling a little funny, and finally couldn't help but reply: "Welcome to William Manor in Los Angeles, brave actress." If you kick your old ugly husband, I will be happier and willing to help. ”

Looking out from the balcony on the second floor, a rose bloomed at the door of the villa, the sun shines on the petals and dewdrops, emitting a little pearl-like light, the most beautiful and romantic is still the beautiful figure of Laura, she cut off the roses, and there is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

These acres of roses were planted by Situ Nan himself, after returning from China, Situ Nan was very well-behaved, did not run around, and his life revolved around his wife and children.

Seeing the roses bloom every day, Laura has a romantic feeling, and her heart will be satisfied, and she can't help but pick the roses, package them beautifully, and put them in the quiet William Manor at home, which can't accommodate other women.

"You're just laid-back, hiding in Los Angeles and enjoying the California sunshine every day."

Andrew Mellon did not return home. Robles Mellon appeared in front of Situ Nan first. Lean against the railing. A large number of Situ Nan.

"What? Is anyone giving you trouble? Big banker from New York. Situ Nan didn't get up, looked up at Robles and smiled.

Over the past year or two, Robles Securities has been digesting the results of the stock market. If it weren't for something, Robles wouldn't have flown all the way to Los Angeles.

"Don't you think our president is a troublemaker? Bankers in New York have complained to me that regulations are getting tougher. Robles frowned.

The U.S. economy is sluggish, the financial markets are not doing well, and the government regulates the market to bail out the market, but bankers like Robles instinctively resist the constraints from Washington.

"What are you going to do? Boycott the Kff? Situ Nan asked with a smile.

Robles shook his head. He acknowledged that the government had purchased bank shares through the Renaissance Finance Corporation. Hundreds of banks have benefited from the liquidity provided to them, allowing them to reopen their doors and gradually restore confidence in the U.S. financial sector.

The White House's hand is stretching longer and longer, laws and regulations have been introduced one after another, and the most controversial is the "National Industrial Recovery Act", the government is ready to fully intervene in the industrial production sector, formulate standards for various industrial sectors, stipulate product prices, and the scale of enterprises. The scope of the market, etc., for which the Congress is arguing.

Some lawmakers criticized. This is not only unconstitutional, it is bare/naked/naked fascism.

"The National Industrial Recovery Act is not so easy to pass, and there is a lot of opposition within the Democratic Party/Democracy Party, and before that, the White House has to curry favor with those mine owners and ranchers in the Midwest and pull them into allies."

Situ Nan commented.

"I'm not worried about that, the industrial revival is always good for the banking industry. I got the news......" Robles paused, his face solemn and a little uncertain, "the White House seems to be withdrawing from the gold standard!" Well, and to create a silver system. ”

"It's a bit silly to have a silver system, but it's okay to please the western states, isn't it? Well, we bought a lot of mining companies in Nevada, Colorado, and a lot of silver, and it was only 25 cents an ounce at the time, and a lot of them went bankrupt. Hehe. ”

Situ Nan said with a smile. Knowing that Roosevelt would attack silver, how could he not prepare early?

"I admit that this trade is doing well, silver is going to rise, gold is going to go up, so—" Robles also smiled, and communicated with Situ Nan, he was even more convinced that the dollar would depreciate next, probably by a large margin, otherwise where would the government get the money to carry out economic reforms?

"The dollar is going to depreciate!" The two said in unison.

Wells Fargo President William Fargo also held the same judgment on this, Wells Fargo has a close relationship with several Western silver groups, and without the support of these states, Roosevelt's New Deal may not even be passed by the Democratic/Nationalist Party, so the best way for him to want the silver group is to make the silver price rise and use the state's money to buy the silver in the hands of the silver group.

How to deploy, don't worry about Situ Nan, Robles & Co. and Wells Fargo are ready, and Citibank and Bank of America, two closely related banks, have also joined a new speculation after getting the news.

What worries Situ Nan a little is that the United States is a big producer of silver, China used to be a big consumer of silver, and it has a large amount of silver reserves, although the silver dollar has long been canceled, and Wuhan has also established a perfect financial order, and it will not be as helpless as in history, and it will not resist a blow, and it will suffer heavy losses, and a large amount of silver will be sold to the United States by the Japanese, while domestic industrial and agricultural exports will shrink, and industrial competitiveness will decline.

In Song Ziwen Lin Yimin's letter, he wrote: "...... The silver bill is likely to pass and the dollar depreciates further, which is the general trend......"

The same message reached South China.

As for how they face it, Situ Nan doesn't care. There are pros and cons to everything, and the Silver Act is not necessarily a bad thing for them. As long as the regime does not fall and the stability of monetary policy based on national credit is maintained, China's silver reserves can also be used to buy American machinery and equipment.

The judgment of Situ Nan and others was correct, and with the joint promotion of the Silver Group and the White House, the Silver Act was passed, and the U.S. Treasury purchased silver in the domestic and foreign markets until the price of silver reached $1.29 per ounce or the value of silver in the Treasury's reserves reached 1/3 of the gold reserves.

By the time Robles came to William's Estate again, the price of silver had risen to 50 cents an ounce.

"I kind of think the president is a bit capable now, even though I still don't like him." Robles smiled and clinked glasses with Situ Nan to celebrate the success of this silver investment, which is estimated to make three or four hundred million dollars.

"The New Deal has not worked as well as it should. It's better than nothing. "Situ Nandao.

In the past, the United States made money all over the world. Europe and Asia are following the US economy. The United States has been in a surplus in foreign trade for a long time. Now that the economic crisis is spreading all over the world, all countries are not having a good time, they are either engaged in fascism or fascism, and without external stimulus, the best situation of the US economy is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and we can only wait for the next war to come.

Stuart told Robles about this view, and Robles reluctantly accepted it. Joking that the war is coming soon.

The war in reality is still being born, and a war that attracts the attention of Americans in the movie world is in full swing, that is, the most expensive air combat movie "Hell's Angel" in human history, and the movie investor is the handsome and rich Howard Hughes.

This is a playboy who is well known, and the newspapers often report on his affair with the actress.

Despite his bad reputation, many women in Hollywood were willing to climb into his bed.

In the Chinese Theater, Situ Nan's family, Robles, Paul Mellon and others walked into the cinema box, and before the movie began, Fox, the general manager of William Films, and David Selznick, the company's producer, came to greet him. By the way, a few words about the situation with William Films.

Ross still left the studio, tired of acting. Gone with some lucky guy, she should be doing well, right?

Situ Nan thought to himself.

Howard Hughes also appeared at this time, thanking Situ Nan for his help. He rented hundreds of planes, hired hundreds of pilots, and rented half of Hollywood's cameras to make air combat films, with the support of William Films in the process.

"Boy, I heard you spent millions of dollars on this movie, and I want to see what a million-dollar movie looks like." Robles said politely. He is also a playboy in New York, and he has much more money than Howard Hughes, but he is not as famous as Hollywood playboys, which makes him unconvinced.

"I promise you'll be blown away." Howard Hughes said confidently.

Seeing the scar on Howard Hughes's face, Situ Nan frowned, and criticized: "Do you need to work so hard? The plane crashed and fell alive, not every time it was so lucky. ”

Howard Hughes's heart warmed, in order to shoot a movie, he floated in the air with a camera in his hand, and he should be the most deadly director in history.

"Thank you for the advice, I'll take note." He nodded.

The movie begins, and Howard Hughes leaves.

The attention of the people in the box finally shifted to the screen.

"Where did you just go?" In the front row sat Howard Hughes's rumored girlfriend, actress Hepburn. Seeing Hughes return, she asked.

"The boss of your company."

As soon as she heard this, Hepburn and Gable, the actor next to her, couldn't help but look back at the box upstairs.

The movie is undoubtedly very exciting, Robles is convinced, after the end, he rushed to the front row to congratulate Howard Hughes, came to Hollywood, this guy doesn't know whether he is interested in movies or female stars, in short, he is very enthusiastic, and intends to praise actresses.

Later, Carl **** asked him to cooperate in a movie, obviously he didn't like Carl **** very much, but he also agreed.

"Fortunately, I didn't bring Alice, the scene inside is too scary."

Laura was excited when she saw her son Andy watching the movie, and she regretted watching this movie a little, and then Andy, who was over ten years old, was tired of the naïve Disney animated movie, and saw the air combat movie, how could she not be excited?

Situ Nan shook his head, the movies that others marveled at seemed to him to be very common, and gave Laura a comforting look, Situ Nan began to be a son, if the heir of the William family likes the hobby of extreme flying, it can't be reassuring.

The Great Depression was Hollywood's golden age, and a 50-cent movie ticket was a great way to anesthetize people and escape the reality of unemployment and debt.

"Hell's Angels" was a success, Hollywood was boiling, and there was a blockbuster movie in movie theaters across the United States, which was estimated to bring Howard Hughes millions of dollars.

He became a movie mogul, and there were more actresses around him.

But the movie mogul's interest has shifted to flying, and he's turned to developing one of the world's fastest airplanes.

The aircraft lab was located in Long Beach, and several engineers from Lincoln-Cummins Aviation were also recruited.

Situ Nan didn't stop it when he found out.

After producer David Selznick bought the film rights to the famous novel "Gone with the Wind", he was stimulated by "Hell's Angels" and prepared to bring "Gone with the Wind" to the screen.

It was a multi-million dollar investment, and General Manager Fox didn't dare to call the shots, so he came to William's Manor.

"Movies are psychotropic and soothing. Today's United States, the situation is similar to that of the United States after the Civil War, with turmoil, unemployment, and wandering, I believe this movie can touch the hearts of the audience. Go ahead! ”

Situ Nan replied.

"Gone with the Wind" certainly burns money, millions of dollars can be said to be more or less, in Situ Nan's eyes can be regarded as a small number, and in recent years, he has been investing in the Hollywood film industry, almost watching Hollywood develop step by step, and the vigorous development of the film industry has also brought rich benefits to Cummins Electric and Kodak under the William Consortium.

"How did you pass it so easily?" Out of William's Manor, David Selznick couldn't believe it, and asked Fox in the same car.

"This is the first and most important step." Fox nodded, although Situ Nan readily agreed to a million-dollar investment, as the general manager of the company, he can't be rash, from the establishment of the film project to the release, the middle has to be casting, venue selection, studio building, post-production and other processes to complete, and it will take two or three years at the earliest.

He also admonished: "David, you remember, as long as you don't insidious or smear Chinese, our boss is the most tolerant film company boss." ”

He is also the most profitable performer on the record label.

Fox added in his heart. Occasionally Situ Nan would hand over the record to him to take care of, Fox knew Situ Nan's personality, and sold records very well, a dozen or so records sold a million copies combined, and also concealed Situ Nan's identity tightly, only a few people vaguely knew that the popular American records came from William Manor.

When the summer vacation arrived, Situ Nan suddenly became interested and took Laura and the two children on a caravan-style wandering trip. And, of course, the hard-working bodyguards.

Mainly in California, I have seen the naval port of San Diego, and I have passed through the fruity Santa Clara Valley, which later became Silicon Valley, and there is no HP, but IBM has established a branch near the San Francisco Bay.

"The Santa Clara Valley is dominated by two major ethnic groups, Italian and Chinese, who are also passionate about growing fruits, so how do you distinguish between them?

Generally, it is the Italians who grow grapes, and the Chinese who grow vegetables and oranges.

Others are wanderers from the east. ”

Stuart drove through Silicon Valley to the vineyard to visit, and he explained it to Laura and the children.

"Poor wanderers, we make a lot of money singing in town, should we give them a little?" Alice asked.

Andy next to him also nodded in agreement.

"Of course. But I think if you go and pick grapes and give them to them, they will be happier. Situ Nan said with a smile.

The days out of William's Manor are jolly and exciting, there are many wonderful things to do outside, and the occasional sight of some wanderers can make them a little sentimental.

Situ Nan implemented "poverty education" for the children, not intending to make them suffer, but just letting them know that there are poor people in the world, and ordinary people have to work hard to buy cheap food.

Getting something for nothing, of course, exists, but you can't be proud of it.

The owners of the vineyard were not financially well, so Mr. and Mrs. Situ Nan naturally became the new owners, and the original owners became the managers of the vineyard.

Entering the vineyard villa, the breeze was blowing, and the eyes were full of greenery, Laura exclaimed, "The environment here is no worse than Beverly!" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly felt nauseous and vomited.

Situ Nan was first panicked, and then surprised, because the third child of the William family was coming!
