Chapter 44: The Economic Crisis


Ruan Lingyu's first film was shot for half a year, in order to keep improving, and at the same time hone her acting skills, and then it was released in major cinemas and theaters in Shanghai, followed by rave reviews.

The major newspapers and media kept praising it, and then the second part started filming, or it didn't require time, and it took half a year to make one, and the first one has been screened, there are too few movies in this era, and there is 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 watch, 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 shooting equipment or projection equipment, the cinema invested by Gibson & Co. made money, and Ruan Lingyu became famous, very famous.

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

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

Wesley got married, and he married a Chinese, which made the American girls very sad, but everyone likes to watch the love story of the two, and this story is made by Wesley himself, after the hero saves the United States, he hugs the beauty, this is not only a routine that Chinese people like, the West likes it more, they like heroes.

Wesley personally went to Los Angeles to pick up the ship, and then took the plane of the G Group's airline back to New York, there is Wesley's newly built manor villa in Manhattan, knowing that this place is worth a lot of money in the future, Wesley of course made the first move, the company's headquarters building and his own home are placed here, and a large amount of land has been purchased.

"How about this place, are you still satisfied" Wesley imitated the villa of the Marvel Universe and built it here, and it is even bigger, anyway, the land is cheap now, and there is no harm in building a little more.

"It's so big," Ruan Lingyu was surprised by the sheer size of the place.

The next thing is to prepare for the wedding, the marriage of a foreigner is very simple, book a church, then send an invitation, prepare a hotel and it's over, and these things will naturally be done for him.

The wedding was grand, and the people in attendance were all named and surnamed, and Wesley was officially married in this universe, although he was far away from his relatives, but Wesley has always been very happy and quietly put his thoughts in his heart.

Married life, Wesley had lived for the first time, and he didn't know how to spend a marriage, but Ruan Lingyu was very adaptable, getting up early every day to prepare breakfast in person, arranging for servants to tidy up the villa, and doing it in an orderly manner, Wesley enjoyed it with peace of mind.

Wesley set up a film company to shoot movies specifically for Ruan Lingyu, and the two separated when they worked, and got together again after work, and there were no fluctuations in life, but the arrival of the economic crisis cast a shadow over the United States.

The economic crisis did not start in the United States, but in the stock exchange in London, England, and the initiator was Wesley.

Wesley knew that his own strength could not compete with the entire capitalist economic system, so he chose to detonate this economic crisis in Britain and then spread it to the whole world.

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

The United States is not immune to it, and Wesley was urgently called to Washington, and he has a lot to say about this kind of thing.

He is not portrayed well by the current president, Khufu and Wesley, who during his tenure pursued a policy of protecting big capital, connived at Japanese aggression against China, and suppressed workers during the economic crisis.

Wesley has not participated in government actions since he took office, and his reason is very 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 this reason is very strong.

This time he came to the White House and still didn't say a word, and no one else could do anything about it, and Khufu was the conservative leader of the Republican Party, and Wesley knew that his proposal might not be supported by him, so he simply didn't say anything.

Then the economic crisis began to spread, a large number of factories closed, workers lost their jobs, Wesley had no intention of saving the world, but instead took advantage of this opportunity to develop his business power, first by expanding the airline to the whole United States, and then by establishing a logistics company, with his car carrier in every state.

Buying farms, adopting the model of agricultural companies, adjusting crops, and selling produce at small profits and quick sales made Wesley's reputation skyrocket.

After acquiring a large number of factories and integrating them into a larger, more skilled group model, others laid off employees, while Wesley recruited, he could naturally choose the best and pay very low wages, thanks to the large amount of capital that Wesley had accumulated in the past.

After buying Hollywood, Wesley bought Las Vegas again, where he built a city on a large scale, produced the raw materials he needed himself, and the workers directly recruited the unemployed, and threw all the money he swept up in London.

Wesley then took a stake in the National Railroad, laying the groundwork for future large-scale logistics, and he did so much, but it was a drop in the bucket, and the economic crisis lasted until 1933, when Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president and began to adopt new economic policies.

However, the first thing he did when he took office was to call Wesley to Washington again, this time Ruan Lingyu was casual, and in the economic crisis that lasted for several years, Ruan Lingyu made movies while carrying out fundraising activities, and became hugely popular in the United States and became the first star of the Chinese.

Her fame doesn't even have to be as good as Wesley's, and the two of them shine brightly in the United States, and many Chinese groups often come to Ruan Lingyu.

Even Jiang Guangtou sent people here, but Ruan Lingyu did not participate in politics, this is what Wesley told her, so she is helping the unemployed, and she doesn't care about politics at all.

"General, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Roosevelt took the initiative to reach out, and Wesley naturally wanted to give face, this Mr.

President is indeed a great man of a generation, a person worthy of respect.

"I'm glad to meet you, Mr.

President, this is my lady."

Wesley introduced.

"Yes, I know, the beautiful lady is an angel in the United States, and she has saved many people."

Roosevelt invited the Wesleys to dinner, and he and Wesley chatted over the table, asking Wesley for advice from a different angle. t1706231537:
