The next day, Wesley got into Ford's latest product, accompanied by a driver, a bodyguard, and a Chinese, a comprador of a foreign company, named Xu Ming, who was proficient in English.
"Mr.
Gibson, I don't know where you want to see," Xu Ming asked.
"Of course a famous place, this is a good place, especially the geographical location, once the development of rights is started, it will inevitably shock the world, but the current situation is not good" Wesley sighed, this place is also called the magic capital, many people in the future want to live here, the competition is extremely fierce.
"Yes, it's a mess at home, and it's not as good as you America."
Xu Ming, as a comprador, must also say words to flatter, but the object of his speech is different, Wesley frowned, and then he was helpless, and he was directly silent.
Xu Ming didn't figure it out, what he said was wrong but he didn't dare to say more now, this person was obviously in a bad mood, the car was driving on the streets of Shanghai in the old days, Wesley was observing the traces of history, for him, these were history.
Although Wesley changed the memory of the manager of the foreign bank, he did not delay things, he asked the director of New World Film Company to look for Ruan Lingyu, and today, the director received a notice from the manager, saying that he had met a girl, who was very good-looking, very temperamental, very suitable for being the heroine, you go to arrange a chance encounter, and then, and then sign in to the company.
Huaxia films have already started, but they are still silent films, and after the film company was acquired, they were happy to get the latest sound film equipment and film, and the company also built several movie theaters in Shanghai.
However, there is no work yet, the director is preparing, I didn't expect to receive this job, he didn't have any dissatisfaction, let's see the people first.
After he saw Ruan Lingyu, he fell in love with this girl at a glance, and thought that the manager of the foreign bank was really discerning, so he went up directly to talk, and invited Ruan Lingyu to a café in the French Concession.
"Miss Ruan, you are very much in line with the image of the heroine in my film, I wonder if you are interested in working in the film industry," the director asked.
Ruan Lingyu is living in an embarrassment now, of course she is happy to have a job in front of her, and it is the kind of job that appears on the screen, which is undoubtedly desirable for a 16-year-old girl.
"I'm willing, but I can't perform," Ruan Lingyu said worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, now our country's films have just started, most of the film companies are still silent films, and we can't afford high-priced sound equipment, but our company was acquired by a foreign company in the United States, and got the latest sound equipment and film, and also built several cinemas, which are definitely the best and most luxurious, this is your chance."
The two hit it off and talked directly about the contract, but the director didn't have much authority, so he directly asked Ruan Lingyu about the treatment she needed, and then went back to ask about the experience, but in his mind, it was not a big problem.
At this time, a lot of people came into the café, and they also came to drink coffee, although they were wearing suits, they looked like serious people, and the suits looked awkward on their bodies.
"Brother Qi, why don't we go to the casino to have a few hands on this thing," the people who came in were led by a man, and the people around him said to him.
"Do you know that this is the French Concession, only people with status can live in, there are the most foreigners here, we wear this body is a person with status, of course people with status have to come to drink coffee."
"What Brother Qi said, you still have knowledge, then let's try it" Someone next to him hurriedly slipped away.
These people sat down in an uproar, shouting the words of Xiao Er's coffee, the foreigners who didn't understand felt that they were too noisy, and they understood that the Chinese laughed at their ignorance, these people really haven't seen coffee, and they are not Shanghainese.
Japan was suppressed by the United States, and the Americans in China grabbed the market, but they had no advantage, Wesley's technology completely destroyed them, and at the same time, the United States got the favor of China during World War I, the goods were of high quality and low price, and they competed for a lot of markets, and even the British were not opponents.
But the Japanese are not thieves, and they are preparing to contact the last emperor today.
When they first arrived in Shanghai, everyone cut their whips, put on suits, and today they are ready to come out to see and learn, and they came directly to the French Concession.
The owner of the coffee shop doesn't know these people, and the boss is a Chinese, if it was a coffee shop opened by a foreigner, it would have been sent away a long time ago, after all, foreigners in this era are hard in China.
After the coffee came up, these people took the first sip, and then sprayed directly, "What kind of bird poop smell is this?"
Ruan Lingyu heard their shouts, "poof" and laughed, and the Qi brother who had noticed her immediately stood up, "Why do little girls look down on us buddies" "No, no."
Ruan Lingyu was taken aback and hurriedly explained.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an employee of our film company, please forgive me if there is any offense, I have a coffee today."
The director hurriedly stood up and played the round.
"What are you doing, our brother Qi can't afford coffee, why do you have to give me an explanation today, otherwise this matter will not be over."
The minions on the side hurriedly coaxed, and they saw Brother Qi's purpose.
The director is well-informed, so he naturally knows that these people are uneasy and kind, so he hurriedly said: "I am the director of New World Film Company, we are an American-run company, and this young lady is the heroine personally named by the manager of our foreign bank, so please give me face."
"Move out the Americans to press each other.
Brother Qi was a little hesitant when he heard the American company, but his younger brothers didn't care much, and whispered in Brother Qi's ear: "Brother Qi, the Japanese and the Americans don't deal with each other, are we?"
Brother Qi heard it right, what are we afraid of, anyway, the Japanese and the Americans don't deal with each other, and it's good to give the new master a little meeting gift.
"What kind of Americans, scare me, our old and young masters were also the number one in the capital, this little chick has taken a fancy to it, and she will go back with her today, and she will naturally go back tomorrow."
After saying that, he pulled people and walked out, the owner of the coffee shop had already called, and he called the patrol room directly, these people were obviously not from the Green Gang.
The French Concession is Huang Jinrong's territory, the boss is naturally clear, and Huang Jinrong must take care of this matter, someone has stepped on the boundary. t1706231537:
