When he came to Reagan's house, his wife Jane Wyman was not at home, leaving Reagan alone to drink there, Jane Wyman was nominated for an Oscar last year, and her status in the film industry has been greatly improved, while Reagan is just a second-rate actor, and the relationship between the husband and wife has also cracked, and Reagan has been depressed recently because of this incident.

"Hey, Ronald, you can't do that." Shen Long took the wine glass from his hand, and he also hoped to send Reagan to the position of governor of California as soon as possible, so as to escort his business in California.

"Fredo, thank you for coming and seeing me, I'm just ...... It just takes a while. Reagan said sullenly that in the position of president of the Hollywood Screen Actors Guild, he felt the charm of politics, and it was when he was in high spirits and planned to do a big job, but he didn't expect to encounter a marriage crisis, which made him a little depressed.

"If it's irretrievable, it's not a good thing to separate early." Shen Long knew that even if he didn't say it, Ronald Reagan and Jane Wyman's marriage would come to an end, and Reagan would soon meet his second wife, Nancy Davis, and go to the end with her.

"I'm thinking about it." Reagan nodded in response, and he also felt that the two were no longer suitable to be together.

After chatting a few words of comfort to Reagan, Shen Long turned the topic to business, "Tomorrow I have made an appointment to meet with someone from the California consortium, and I am going to introduce you to them, now put the marriage aside, and discuss how to get their approval!" ”

The California consortium, like the Rockefeller consortium, is one of the top ten conglomerates in the United States, and these consortia are the real rulers of the United States, just as Eisenhower needed the support of Rockefeller and other conglomerates to sit on the throne of the presidency of the United States, and Reagan must be recognized by these consortia if he wants to achieve something in the political arena.

The California where he is located belongs to the California consortium, and the top ten consortiums in the United States all have their own core banks, such as the Chase Manhattan Bank of the Rockefeller consortium, the Morgan Bank of the Morgan consortium, the Boston First National Bank of the Boston consortium, and the core bank of the California consortium is the Bank of America.

The predecessor of Bank of America was the Bank of Italy founded by Italian immigrant Giannini, and later merged with Bank of America in California to change its name to Bank of America, which means that Shen Long was able to connect with the Bank of California through the connection between the descendants of Italian immigrants, and the Corleone family's bank in California has a close relationship with Bank of America.

World War II brought enormous benefits to the California consortium, and the arms companies they controlled, such as Lockheed Aircraft Company, Litton Industries, and Northrop Company, had long been the leading arms companies in the US Department of Defense in arms orders, which also allowed Bank of America to surpass New York's Chase National Bank as the No. 1 bank in the United States.

But the Bank of America and the control of those arms companies are slipping away from the hands of the California consortium, and the Morgan consortium, the First Citibank consortium and other eastern consortiums have taken a fancy to this piece of fat, and the California consortium is having a headache for these things, so Shen Long told Reagan about this for a long time, and proposed a plan or two to change the status quo, hoping to gain the approval of the California consortium in exchange for their support.

The next day, the meeting with the California consortium was very smooth, Reagan was already a person with outstanding speech skills, and it was easy to gain the trust and favor of others, coupled with the homework that Shen Long had done for him in advance, which immediately aroused the interest of the California consortium, and they were willing to support Reagan to enter the political arena.

Of course, this is only the first time we have met, and there is a limit to the support that can be exchanged, and political investment like this is done almost every day by the top ten American consortiums, and as for whether Reagan can come out in the future, it depends on his future performance and whether he can bring enough returns to the California consortium.

Shen Long is not worried about this at all, in the original history, Reagan was recognized by the California consortium, sat on the throne of California governor, and later entered the White House, and now with his own help, his success may come earlier, and he does not have to wait until the 80s to become president.

Shen Long himself also talked to the California consortium about cooperation, his banks, film studios, etc. in California can bring profits to the California consortium, and he also needs the help of the big consortium to launder the industry; Although he had already reached a cooperation with the Rockefeller consortium before, everyone knew that he could not put all his eggs in one basket.

Originally, Shen Long just planned to use the help of these consortia to make the Corleone family gradually whitewash their identities and enter the upper class, but after learning that they could freely enter and leave this world in the future, Shen Long's mind changed, since he already had such a big plug-in, then why should he be attached to other consortia for a long time?

Why can't you set up your own consortium? There are too many opportunities after the war, the rapid rise of the IT industry, and many old consortia are slow to respond to this, if they can take this opportunity to rise, it is not a problem to establish their own consortia; And with the development of the times, the rule of Anglo-Saxons, Protestants, and Caucasians over the United States has gradually weakened, since a black person like *** can become president, why can't Mike, who is of Italian descent?

At that time, behind the scenes, Mike in front of the stage, defeated the old conglomerates such as Rockefeller, DuPont, and Morgan, and the two brothers controlled the United States, what a heart-warming vision!

It took some time to reorganize the Corleone family's business, drawing attention to the situation of IT companies such as Texas Instruments and IBM, preparing to get shares in these companies from other consortia at the right time, and then providing a large donation to Stanford University, acquiring a large piece of land in Silicon Valley, establishing an industrial park, obtaining the patent for transistors from William Shockley, the inventor of the transistor, and supporting him to establish a semiconductor laboratory.

In the future, Intel Corporation and AMD will come out of Shockley's laboratory and master this laboratory and Silicon Valley, and these companies will become Shenlong's industry.

Outside of work, Shen Long accompanied Audrey Hepburn to shoot "Breakfast at Tiffany's", watching her perform in the crew during the day, and returning to his residence to enjoy life at night.

After a period of time, business and political arrangements gradually got on the right track, so Shen Long gently kissed the sleeping Hepburn one night, and then chose to return.
