Chapter 403 Economic Crisis

Ruan Lingyu's first film took half a year to keep improving and hone her acting skills. Afterwards, it was screened in major movie theaters and theaters in Shanghai, and received rave reviews.

The major newspapers and media continued to praise, and then the second film started shooting, but it still didn’t require time, and it took half a year to shoot one, while the first film was showing all the time. There are too few movies in this era, and too little entertainment. So it is normal for a movie to be screened for half a year, plus some other movies, but there are many people who come to see it, and some people will watch it dozens of times in half a year.

By the end of 1927, Ruan Lingyu had made a total of five films, which could not be compared with the speed of the parallel universe, but the quality was too high. Whether it was the shooting equipment or the projection equipment, the movie theater invested by Gibson Matheson made money. And Ruan Lingyu became famous, very famous.

But then Ruan Lingyu left for the United States, which made the fans very sad. Ruan Lingyu went to get married, and the object of marriage was Wesley Gibson, the commander-in-chief of the US Air Force. This made the fans sad and happy for her at the same time, and the relationship between the two The matter was published in a newspaper controlled by Gibson Matheson.

For a while, the atmosphere of romance permeated the old Shanghai, and then Ruan Lingyu said that she would not give up on movies, and would make better movies for fans in the future, and then set off directly.

Wesley got married, and he married a Chinese, which made American girls very sad, but everyone likes to read the love story of the two, and this story was made by Wesley himself, after the hero saved the beauty Embracing a beautiful woman is not only a routine that Chinese people like, the West likes it even more, they like heroes.

Wesley went to Los Angeles to pick up the ship in person, and then returned to New York on the plane of an airline affiliated to G Group. There is Wesley's newly built manor villa in Manhattan. Both the headquarters building and his own home are placed here, and a large amount of land has been purchased.

"How is it? Are you satisfied here?" Wesley imitated the villa in the Marvel universe and built it here, and it was even bigger. Anyway, the land price is cheap now, and there is no harm in building more.

"So big?" Ruan Lingyu was surprised by the size of the place.

The next thing is to prepare for the wedding. It is very simple for a foreigner to get married. You need to book a church, send out invitations, and prepare a hotel. Naturally, someone will do these things for him.

The wedding was grand, and all the people present were named. Wesley was officially married in this universe. Although he was far away from his relatives, Wesley had always been very happy and kept his thoughts in his heart.

It was the first time for Wesley to live married life. He didn't know how to spend a marriage, but Ruan Lingyu was very adaptable. She got up early every day to prepare breakfast by herself and arranged for the servants to tidy up the villa. She was very orderly. Wesley And enjoy it with peace of mind.

Wesley set up a film company to make films specifically for Ruan Lingyu. The two separated when they were working, and got together again after work. There was no fluctuation in life, but the arrival of the economic crisis cast a shadow over the United States.

This economic crisis did not start from the United States, but from the stock market in London, England, and the instigator was Wesley. Wesley knew that his own strength could not compete with the entire capitalist economic system, so he chose to detonate the economic crisis in the UK, and then spread to the whole world.

Although Wall Street has gradually replaced London's financial system in the world, it has not completely replaced it yet, so as soon as the British stock market collapsed, it immediately began to spread to the world.

The United States cannot avoid it. Wesley was called to Washington urgently. He has a great say in such matters. As for the current president, Khufu, Wesley does not have a good image of him. During his tenure, this person implemented a policy of protecting big capital, while conniving at Japan's aggression against China, and suppressed workers during the economic crisis.

Since Wesley took office, he has not participated in government actions. His reason is simple. Now that he is a soldier, he can only give military advice. After all, his identity is different, and his current identity is too sensitive to participate in politics. And the reason is strong.

He still didn't say a word when he came to the White House this time, and no one else could do anything about it, and Hufu is the leader of the conservative faction of the Republican Party. Wesley knew that his suggestion might not win his support, so he didn't say anything at all.

Then the economic crisis began to spread, a large number of factories closed down, and workers lost their jobs. Wesley had no plan to be a savior. Instead, he took advantage of this opportunity to develop his own business strength. First, he expanded the airline to the entire United States, and then established a logistics company. Every state has his car transport company. Acquiring farms, adopting the model of agricultural companies, adjusting planting crops, and selling agricultural products with small profits but quick turnover made Wesley's reputation soaring.

After acquiring a large number of factories and integrating them into a group model with a larger scale and stronger technology, others lay off employees, and Wesley recruited people, so they can naturally choose the best ones, and at the same time pay very low wages, thanks to Wesley Large amounts of capital accumulated in the past.

After Wesley bought Hollywood, he bought Las Vegas again, where he built a city, produced the raw materials he needed, and directly recruited the unemployed. All the funds he took away in London were thrown here.

Then Wesley became a shareholder of the National Railroad, laying the foundation for large-scale logistics in the future. He did so much, but it was tantamount to a drop in the bucket. The economic crisis lasted until 1933, and then Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president. A new economic policy was started.

However, the first thing he did when he took office was to call Wesley to Washington again. This time, Ruan Lingyu was casual. During the economic crisis that lasted for several years, Ruan Lingyu was filming movies and conducting fundraising activities at the same time, gaining great popularity in the United States. , became the number one Chinese star. Her reputation is not even worse than Wesley's. The couple of the two shined brightly in the United States, and many Chinese groups often come to ask to form Ruan Lingyu.

Bald Jiang even sent someone to come, but Ruan Lingyu doesn't get involved in politics, that's what Wesley told her, so she didn't care about politics at all when she was helping the unemployed.

"General, nice to meet you." Roosevelt offered to extend his hand, and Wesley naturally wanted to save face. This Mr. President is indeed a great man of his generation and worthy of respect.

"I'm also very glad to meet you, Mr. President, this is my wife." Wesley introduced.

"Yes, I know, the beautiful lady is an angel of America, and she has saved many people." Roosevelt invited the Wesleys to dinner, and he ate and chatted with Wesley at the table, using another Angle sought Wesley's opinion.
