Mrs. Black heard the car ringing, stepped her feet and looked out, saw Rose getting out of the car, and hurried to meet her.

When Rose saw her mother's desire to speak and stopped, there was a faint worry on her face, and she understood what she was worried about.

"Yes, we are separated, and it is good for everyone to end this relationship that is not embarrassing or embarrassing."

As soon as Rose's words came out, Mrs. Black's face turned pale, and she felt that the future was going to be hopeless, and she heard Rose say, "You don't have to worry, I don't have much money, and I don't have a lot!" ”

"No, I ......," Mrs. Black opened her mouth to defend something, but Rose didn't give her a chance, and went straight upstairs.

Her own feelings, she doesn't want to be manipulated anymore, Mrs. Black has a good life, and she is willing to guarantee it, that's all.

Originally, she thought that the breakup would pass peacefully, but a few days later, the diamond sent by Situ Nan broke her inner peace, like a stone falling into the water, setting off a wave.

How did Heart of the Ocean get to Situ Nan?

Perhaps, the Titanic was in a chaotic situation at that time, and Situ Nan picked it up.

Or maybe he made a fortune later and bought it back from someone else, just as he bought a stake in the White Star Steamship Company and became a major shareholder.

Rose was puzzled and secretly speculated that there were all kinds of possibilities, including some kind of agreement with Hawke to buy back the diamonds.

Millions of dollars worth of diamonds, just give it away, and the other woman would have screamed a long time ago, but it doesn't include Rose, who once owned the diamond.

She is far more interested in the story behind the diamond than in the diamond itself.

wanted to ask Situ Nan clearly, but hesitated and didn't take action. I was worried about it for a few days.

Finally, I mustered up the courage to call Situ Nan: "What the hell is going on with Heart of the Ocean?" Where did you come from? ”

"I thought you didn't ask?"

South Szeto Road. "It doesn't matter how it came about. The important thing is that I think it's yours or better off for you to handle it. ”

"We're divided!"

Rose reminded.

"I know, it has nothing to do with this. Don't worry I'm pestering you. "Situ Nandao.

Rose on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, she didn't expect this to happen, isn't it good to let it pass what has long passed?

That guy really has a problem for himself.

Heart of the Ocean belongs to Hawke, but Hawke receives compensation from the insurance company. He didn't lose anything, so how could he possibly contact him?

He seemed to sigh softly and sighed with emotion: "It's too precious, it's not suitable for me, and it makes me uncomfortable." Diamond life is too heavy, let me live easily! ”

"That's good! Los Angeles Wells Fargo Safe Deposit Box T98645...... number, you can deposit it in. Let's wait for someone to open it in the future! ”

Rose went to Wells Fargo the next day and deposited the Heart of the Ocean in the safe, which lightened her mind as she watched the safe slowly close. Finally unloaded this burden.

Perhaps many years later, it will see the light of day again. But by then he was gone.

……

Howard. Hughes walks into Wells Fargo, and he makes an appointment with the bank manager to handle a business.

Half of his net worth was invested in the stock market, and after selling a little Chevron oil company stock, his bank account was "full" again.

messed up a movie, lost nearly 100,000 US dollars, didn't earn a penny, and was called the laughing stock of others, and the mood was depressing.

This time, he wants Hollywood to re-understand himself and make a second movie.

He had already made an appointment with his uncle Rupert, who introduced him to a few industry friends, and later he was going to Rupert's house to meet with some veterans of the film industry.

The tie was a little tight, he tore it open a little to make his depressed mood feel a little more comfortable, and as soon as he walked out of the manager's room, he ran into the person he hated - Meyer, the general manager of MGM.

"Yo, isn't this our Uncle Hughes? Why didn't you pitch your masterpiece? ”

Meyer walked in with a smile as he smoked his cigar.

Recently, MGM released another blockbuster movie, which made a lot of money, and the money in the bank account went up.

What made him even happier was that Twentieth Century William Films had just rejected Hughes's film, and for an industry tycoon like him, Howard was the most hated. Hughes is a self-righteous spoiler, this kind of playboy who doesn't know the sorrows of the world has money in his hands and doesn't know anything, but often breaks the rules, and it's so happy to see him look foreign in Hollywood.

"That's right! Your Uncle Hughes is rich, what's the matter? How much does MGM cost? Make an offer! ”

Howard. Hughes said without showing weakness.

Looking at Meyer's Jewish face, full of shrewdness and calculation, he couldn't feel better.

I thought: Isn't it just a few years earlier in the industry? What's the big deal! I don't believe I can't get along in Hollywood!

"MGM you can't afford it!" Meyer sneered, disdainful in his heart, he was really an upstart, and he dared to be arrogant with a few dollars in his hand? See that your Uncle Mei doesn't tell you to be a man?

"Anyway, no one wants your bad movie, I'm in a good mood today, why don't I buy it for $100?"

Meyer asked with a smile.

Undisguised the smugness on his face, as if to say, boy, I see that you are pitiful and kind to you!

"$100? It doesn't seem to be bad, I'll think about it! ”

Howard. Hughes shook his face and was poked in the sore spot, of course he was angry in his heart, but he was not a mortal after all, pretending to think about it, then shook his head and said with a smile, "Even if it is a failure, it is priceless, after all, this is Howard. Hughes's first.

Seeing that you are so familiar with the market, could it be that the Russians bought your first time for $100? Well, then it certainly doesn't cost 100 dollars, 100 cents to enjoy the beautiful and intelligent Meyer! ”

As we all know, Russia is the hardest hit area of the Jews, Meyer is a Jew, a Jew from Russia, or a poor Jew who can't survive from Russia and runs to the United States, and he doesn't even know his date of birth, which has to be said to be a piece of black history.

And, of course, the American Dream is very inspirational.

But for Meyer, who is arrogant and accomplished, this is almost a slap in the face! When I heard this, my face changed.

Looking at Meyer's discolored face, Howard. Hughes felt an indescribable joy in his heart. This old thing satirizes itself every time they meet. Now it's all right. In the future, he will be rude, and he will not be embarrassed, so he will simply call him a guy who came to the United States by selling his ass.

Meyer pointed at Howard. Hughes's face, squinting, glared at him fiercely for a few seconds, the atmosphere was very tense, the bank's staff scalp was numb, these two are the bank's VIP customers!

They are on edge. It's almost like a big fight.

Hmph, Meyer laughed angrily, but he still restrained himself, too lazy to see this Texan.

The two sides sprayed each other a few words, dropped a few cruel words, and then dispersed.

The bank clerk next to him was relieved.

When did the two become enemies?

In short, I didn't deal with it from the first meeting, and the last time Howard. Hughes went to MGM to promote his movie and was ridiculed by MGM, and Meyer even criticized the movie in 360 degrees. Hughes departed in disarray.

After MGM ate a fart. Howard. Hughes naturally approached Twentieth Century William Films.

Speaking of which, MGM and William still have a grudge between the two film companies.

Rose came out of the vault. happened to meet Meyer, who was still angry, but unfortunately he didn't catch up with the good show just now, and seeing that Meyer's face was very stinky, he said hello to him and left.

"Wait!"

Meyer called Rose, and Rose looked back at Meyer with some confusion, at this time Meyer's face was much better, and she smiled and invited Rose to join her for coffee.

Rose agreed, thinking that there was nothing to do, and pointed to the café opposite the bank, meaning that she was waiting for him on the other side.

After waiting in the café for ten minutes, Meyer finished the bank's business, appeared in front of Rose, and regained his shrewd demeanor.

"Mr. Meyer, what are you looking for me?" Rose asked directly, and sat down for a while, she was a little annoyed, and she didn't want to go around in circles with a cunning guy like Meyer.

Meyer was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Rose to be so direct, and said cheerfully: "I'm looking for you to cooperate." ”

"Cooperation?"

Rose glanced at Meyer, not remembering anything to work with.

"Hollywood is troublesome enough to face the invasion of those guys in New York, who rely on the money, but don't understand anything, but they mess up the market."

Meyer said solemnly, "For these troublemakers, MGM and William Films should unite and resist foreign spoilers." ”

"Resist outside spoilers?"

Rose frowned, saw Meyer's serious face, and gave him a blank look, those giants on Wall Street are what you say you can boycott? It's too loud, isn't it?

The Rockefeller consortium's Raiden Hua Company is on a buyout spree in Hollywood, and has merged several production, distribution, and theater companies, why haven't you MGM come out to boycott?

Rose wanted to say this in her heart, but she didn't say it, and she had to test what Meyer wanted to do, she smiled and asked, "For example?" ”

"Like Howard. Hughes is a rule-breaker! Meyer confessed, trying not to hide his disgust.

I see!

Rose nodded, a little funny in her heart, how could Howard's boy make the famous Meyer remember?

"It's not good for us, it's not necessary."

Rose shook her head, Howard. Hughes is not a threat at all, not even a member of Hollywood, but he is targeted by boring newspapers, so he often appears in the newspapers, causing some people to look at him unpleasantly.

But what's the matter?

Meyer found himself to boycott Howard. Hughes, what a mistake!

Meyer was a little disappointed, and Rose's reaction was also expected, and he said, "You can get MGM's friendship!" That's the benefit! ”

"MGM's friendship is not light!"

Rose smiled, noncommittal, looked at Meyer with a proud face, and thought to herself Although you have the capital to be proud, but if you want to talk about friendship, William's movies and MGM really have no friendship, of course, there is no kindness, and the two sides hardly interact.

Rose didn't want to offend Meyer too much, but still shook her head and explained: "The Hughes family is very influential in the oil industry, although our Twentieth Century William Film Company is now independent, but the initial funds came from the oil industry, Hughes has no harm to our film company, why should we listen to you?"

Besides, Mr. Meyer's first million dollars came from Griffith and his "The Birth of a Nation," which William Film Company has always been concerned about. ”

"Got it!"

As soon as Rose mentioned this, Meyer immediately understood and nodded solemnly.

Rose's meaning is very simple, it is Howard. I don't care how Hughes corrupts his petrodollar, but it's impossible for me to target him.

As for what else is hidden behind it, you have to investigate it yourself!

Howard alone. Hughes's plane often landed at William's Manor on Beverly Hills, and Meyer knew that he really couldn't use off-board moves against Howard. Hughes, that kid.

Seeing that Luo rejected himself without the slightest hesitation, and had a fearless appearance, he was angry and helpless in his heart.

MGM, who thinks he is great, is nothing more than this in the eyes of others, and he can't help but feel a little bitter, with petrodollar support behind them, as well as the support of Cummins Broadcasting, and even real estate giants like Hollywood Development Corporation are allies of others, compared to MGM, which is really nothing.

Of course, Meyer is not afraid of William Films, in the film industry, MGM really has not been afraid of anyone?

It's just a little jealous.

Petrodollars are just that, and William Film Company is not afraid of them, but Cummins Electric standing behind William Film Company is different, that is the inventor of sound films, holding a large number of technical patents, not to mention, most of Hollywood's film shooting equipment is produced by Cummins Electric, which is equivalent to the lifeblood of Hollywood in the hands of others.

When Hollywood arose, wasn't it because a large number of film companies were driven from the East Coast by Edison's patent scoundrel?

Perhaps the electrical giants look down on the film industry, but they are interested in the electrical equipment needed for film shooting, and General Electric has intervened in Hollywood, as evidenced by the Raiden Hua company's aggressive expansion in Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Meyer felt a little less jealous in his heart, and even less resistant to the expansion of Raiden Hua, at least breaking the threat of Cummins Electric to Hollywood.

If you don't cooperate, don't cooperate, it's no big deal, I'm just a whim, I want to give that kid a little hardship, it's natural to be good, it doesn't matter if it doesn't work, MGM who wants to be the king of Hollywood doesn't have so much time to pay attention to a stunned young man at all times!

I look at Howard. What tricks can Hughes play with that guy?

Meyer, who had figured it out, finally said goodbye to Rose amicably, and there didn't seem to be any displeasure on his face.

Looking at his distant back, Rose shook her head regretfully.

This talent could have been used for himself!

It's a pity that Situ Nan stubbornly wanted to ban Griffith and "The Birth of a Nation", William Film Company and Griffiths broke up, Griffith spent a lot of money to redeem himself, and bought the movie "The Birth of a Nation", and Meyer was one of the few people who went into debt to help Griffith.

He made millions of dollars on movies bought with debt, and then went to Hollywood and merged with MGM, where he is today.

Rose didn't want to comment on Situ Nan's overly sensitive national pride, and although the South China version of "The Birth of a Nation" later made a lot of money for William Films in California and Asia, she still felt sorry for the loss of Griffith and the rise of Meyer. (To be continued.) )
