"Jack, Mayor Rolf has sent an invitation to you tomorrow to celebrate the 136th anniversary of the founding of San Francisco, do you want to go?"

In the evening, as soon as Jack returned home from going to the Bank of Italy to transfer $30,000 to Mrs. Bookett, Ruth took an invitation and handed it to him.

"Tomorrow you come with me." After reading the invitation, Jack decided to participate.

There is a good saying, rely on your parents at home, and rely on friends when you go out.

A person lives in this world, there are always bad times, if you make more connections on weekdays, you may be able to give yourself some help when you need it.

You must know that the California consortium formed after World War II is mainly composed of the American Bank Group, the San Francisco Group and the Los Angeles Group.

It can also be said that it is these three groups that dominate the California group!

How could Jack, who has always had thoughts about the California consortium, refuse to contact the San Francisco syndicate in advance.

"I'm going too?" Ruth was a little surprised to hear Jack ask him to go with her, but she quickly accepted it and responded, "Okay! ”

Seriously, Jack took Ruth to the event together, in fact, there are some of his careful thoughts in it, neither he in his previous life nor Jack in this world have participated in this kind of real high society activity.

If he went alone, it wouldn't be good if he made a joke.

Especially now that this kind of fledgling is not yet in the air, and no one dares to laugh at him.

So when he goes to San Francisco's 136th anniversary tomorrow, he's in need of Ruth's help from the high society.

"Ruth, when you go to the event tomorrow, what are the precautions, you can tell me about it."

"Okay."

After listening to Jack's inquiry, Ruth immediately took Jack to sit down somewhere, and then preached to Jack: "Jack, you have to pay attention to the following points, the first ......"

Jack has to admit that people's origins really determine their horizons, and their horizons determine people's social classes.

For a person from a low background like him, if no one Ruth helps him, he is afraid that he will really make a lot of jokes tomorrow.

Time passed quietly in the middle of Jack and Ruth's teaching, and the night passed between closing and opening.

The next morning, Jack and Ruth drove out of the villa and headed for San Francisco.

Almost two hours later, Jack was in downtown San Francisco.

The invitation stated that the event would be held at San Francisco City Hall at 6 p.m., so Jack didn't go right away after thinking about it, but continued to drive back to the San Francisco Observer.

The reason for his past is naturally very simple.

Now that he has $270,000 in his hands, he can't resist turning to the San Francisco Observer.

"Hello sir, I'm Mark Clemens, a reporter for the San Francisco Observer, can I ask you for any help?"

Jack parked his car in front of the San Francisco Observer newspaper office, and as soon as the person came out, a young man with glasses greeted him.

The man, Mark Clemens, was currently working as a reporter for the San Francisco Observer, and he had just returned from his interview when Jack had stopped his car.

Jack asked, "Is Mr. Ferguson here?" ”

"The president is inside." Mark Clemens nodded, then asked Jack, "Does the gentleman have an appointment?" ”

"Nope." Jack shook his head, and then said to Mark Clemens: "Please help me contact Mr. Ferguson, just say that Jack Dawson came to visit, thank you!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Dawson." Mark Clemens immediately turned around and walked into the newspaper office.

After Mark Clemens disappeared from sight, Ruth, who already knew Jack's purpose from Jack's mouth, asked curiously, "Will Mr. Ferguson accept your investment?" Jack. ”

Jack heard that Ruth's tone was a little unconfident, he smiled, and said confidently: "If Mr. Ferguson accepts my investment, it will naturally be hello and I am good everyone, if he does not accept my investment, I will not lose anything, it is a big deal that I will find another investment target." ”

"You know, there are not a few newspapers in San Francisco, and some people are willing to accept my investment."

"I see." Ruth nodded.

Just as Jack and Ruth were talking, a somewhat anxious footsteps came from the direction of the newspaper office, Jack looked at the door of the newspaper office, and soon, a middle-aged man with red hair walked out.

"Mr. Dawson, Mrs. Dawson, hello!"

Jack fixed his eyes on who James Ferguson, the president of the San Francisco Observer, was.

"Hello, Mr. Ferguson."

After exchanging greetings, Jack and Ruth walked into the newspaper office under the guidance of James Ferguson.

After walking into the newspaper office, Jack made a general observation, although the newspaper office was a little crowded because of the small size of the newspaper office, but the newspaper staff were busy working in an orderly manner, and no one was idle.

Seeing this, Jack agrees with James Ferguson's management ability, and because of this, he is even more determined to invest in the San Francisco Observer.

After James Ferguson brought Jack and Ruth to the president's office and had three cups of coffee brought in, he asked Jack curiously, "Mr. Dawson, are you here to celebrate the 136th anniversary of the founding of San Francisco?" ”

James Ferguson asked, naturally, because he couldn't guess why Jack suddenly came to San Francisco today for the reason of attending the 136th anniversary of the founding of San Francisco.

"Yes!" Jack nodded in acknowledgment of James Ferguson's speculation.

Subsequently, Jack directly explained his intention and said: "Last time you told me that you wanted to bring in investors to support the expansion of the San Francisco Observer's distribution channels to surrounding cities, and at that time I had to refuse you because I couldn't draw out funds, I wonder if you still welcome me as an investor?" ”

After hearing Jack's intention, James Ferguson's heart was excited.

For more than a month, he has been looking for potential investors, but the result is not very satisfactory, not many people are willing to invest money in the newspaper, which has a large investment but relatively slow returns, and even if there is, those people are rushing to take advantage.

For more than a month, he was dying of sorrow.

Therefore, after hearing Jack's intention, the excited James Ferguson said on the spot: "Of course we welcome your investment, Mr. Dawson!" ”

"But......" James Ferguson pondered for a moment, "we have encountered several investors who just want to take advantage of us, if Mr. Dawson you are sure to invest in us, you have to make sure that you are not trying to take advantage of us unilaterally......"
