The journey starts from the Titanic

Chrysler said almost without thinking, well, his attitude was clear.Chrysler's tractor business performed well, but Chrysler paid more attention to the automobile market.

"I plan to sell the tractor business to Cummins and focus my energy on the auto market. What do you think?" The voice on the other end of the phone asked Situ Nan.

Situ Nan thought for a moment, and seemed to feel that Chrysler was eager to enter the auto market, and the tractor business was jointly invested by Chrysler (occupying most of the shares) and Cummins.

The reason why Chrysler tractors perform well is mainly because of the diesel engines produced by Cummins. It is not impossible to sell the tractor business to Cummins.

However, in recent years, diesel engine technology has advanced rapidly. If Chrysler's tractors do not increase investment in research and development, they will be out of date within three years."

It is also a good choice to exchange a large amount of materials from the Soviets with technology that is about to be eliminated, but in this way, more Russians died of starvation, exhaustion and freezing.

Situ Nan thought with a bit of compassion, and agreed to Chrysler's suggestion to let Cummins take over the tractor business.

"Mr. William, I promise you that our new car will definitely make you like it. It will replace the old-fashioned Ford Model T and become a unique player in the auto market. You must come and see it in Detroit."

Chrysler was excitedly talking about the new car on the phone, and Situ Nan could feel the other person's mood even far away.

"Okay! I must go and see what surprises Chrysler has brought to the United States."

Putting down the phone, Situ Nan felt a little excited. In the roaring twenties, Coolidge's prosperity that countless people talked about began with the explosive development of the automobile industry.

Not long ago, I was still discussing road construction and automotive industry standards with Hoover. Now Chrysler is about to release a new car. Although I don’t know what the new car looks like, I feel confident from Chrysler that it is definitely a low- and mid-range car with high quality and low price. To cater to the rapidly expanding middle class in the United States, the old Ford Model T will be squeezed out of the auto market by Chrysler’s new cars.

And under the leadership of Sloan, famous cars such as General Motors, Chevrolet, Buick, etc., which began to develop along multiple brands, will also shine!

Closing my eyes, I can almost feel countless wheels rolling around in my dreams, accompanied by the sound of the rumbling engine, and the coquettish girls in the car whose hair has been elegantly treated with cosmetics and clothes It is also a famous brand, with sparkling gold. Listening to the music in the car, while shaking his head, getting out of the car, it turned out to be red lips and bare legs wrapped in thin and elastic stockings. If the skirt is shorter, it will cause men. Wonderful reverie...

When she walked over with a smile, with a fragrant breeze, you would think this is Chanel perfume from Paris or a new shower gel from P&G?

The reporters kept taking pictures around. They used Kodak’s best cameras, perhaps even in color. Once the photos were washed, they would be stars of thousands of styles, which were pasted on the bedsides of countless otakus and the walls. The looming spring scenery arouses the spring thoughts of young people, or if you go to the Santa Monica beach in Los Angeles on weekends, you will see a sea of ​​bikinis,...

Or maybe in a bar, listening to the jazz who can't help himself, secretly drinking a glass of wine, spending a good night with a wandering singer/actor or other restless "lover", in a hotel room, accompanied by a gramophone The waltz coming from inside.Everything is great.

The above is Situ Nan's conjecture. At this time, he drove Lincoln generation on Fifth Avenue. Next to him, Xiangu He's hair was flying in the wind, and the fragrance of fragrance floated, which made Situ Nan think.

Unknowingly, the roads in New York have been widened a lot. There are fewer carriages, more cars, and fewer black and crude T-cars. More beautiful cars such as Chrysler, Buick, and Chevrolet have become people's new favorites.

It's really a drunken city, everyone wants to indulge in it.

Finally, the car stopped at the entrance of the Fox Cinemas, Situ Nan embraced He Xiangu into the magnificent palace-like cinema, and the "destroyed" box No. 1 ushered in his owner again.

Looking at the woman on the screen of the movie, who was more and more able to scratch her head, a voice slipped through Situ Nan's mind-"Perhaps the glitzy era that I have been looking forward to has arrived."

When Situ Nan came in, the movie hadn't started yet, and the movie hall downstairs gradually became quiet. Looking down from the window, there was a crowd of people underneath. It seemed that business was good and Situ Nan was in a good mood.

While there was still some time, he flirted with Xiangu He a little bit, "Come here, sit closer." Situ Nan patted his thigh, with Erlang's legs tilted, a vivid image of the second generation ancestor.

He Xiangu was still a little shy, but she couldn't help Situ Nan, so he was still at his mercy.There were only two people in the room, and they could almost hear each other's heartbeats. He Xiangu's heartbeat started to speed up, and her whole body was itchy.

"Don't move!" She couldn't help but slap the evil hand that was going downhill, and shouted, "Watch a movie!"

When she was interrupted by her, Situ Nan didn't dare to be presumptuous, otherwise she would rectify that girl on the spot.

"Okay!" He retracted his hands, touched He Xiangu's red face frivolously, smiled triumphantly, and watched the movie patiently.

The movie has begun. The animation at the beginning of the film company shows a lion with its teeth and claws, with unspeakable majesty.

This animation Situ Nan was a little familiar, and immediately reacted: Isn't this MGM Films?

Yes, the name on the screen-Metro-Goldwyn jumped into Situ Nan's eyes almost at the same time. He was watching a MGM movie, and one of the five Hollywood giants appeared in the early days.

In the thirty-fours, MGM was absolutely the dominant Hollywood player, under the umbrella of Catherine?Hepburn, Elizabeth?Taylor and many other superstars, "Gone with the Wind" and "Cat and Mouse" two classic masterpieces were also produced by MGM during that period.

Since it is MGM, you have to take a good look.Situ Nan thought to himself.He hasn't paid attention to the film market for a long time, and he doesn't even know the establishment of MGM.

Due to the early rise of William Films in the twentieth century, Warner Bros. Films also has a close relationship with Situ Nan. Affected by this, the development is much faster than in history, and the Hollywood film market is more competitive than in history.

MGM Films was formed by the merger of several small film companies. It was originally founded by Marcus Lowe, Samuel Godwin and Louis B. Meyer in the United States. Trou Company acquired Goldwin Studios, so that there are the words Mi and Gao, plus the talented filmmaker Meyer who joined not long ago, just to form MGM Films.

He Xiangu just now had a heart hit like a deer, and was stunned so much. Now that Situ Nan is not doing anything wrong, she is a little uncomfortable. She turned around and saw that Situ Nan was watching the previous movie intently, and she was relieved. Feeling a little lost, he quietly leaned into Situ Nan's arms.

The two cuddled up and watched the movie silently, disappearing from the fire-like desire, and the faint quietness did not smell.

It’s also a coincidence that the movie is one of Situ Nan’s favorite films in his previous life, "Ben Xu". It is an unprecedented historical blockbuster. It tells the racial enmity between the ancient Roman Empire and Israel, and it also adds beauty. The princesses, the ancient Roman Colosseum and other desirable commercial elements, because it is a large-scale production, needless to say the majestic nature.

Although the movie was still a dumb movie, Situ Nan and He Xiangu watched them with gusto.

Meyer is really extraordinary. The first shot is a big production. The ambition of MGM Films is fully displayed. The average small company really dare not invest in such blockbusters.

Seeing the scene of the duel in the Colosseum in Ancient Rome, He Xiangu had already buried her head and dared not look at the bloody and violent scene.She pressed against Situ Nan's chest tightly, like a timid little white rabbit, attracted by the plot of the movie, she looked up from time to time.

However, those shots are almost immune to Situ Nan. In his opinion, the films of 1922 are still very rough, although he will also praise those excellent films for being well shot.

After watching the movie, Situ Nan sighed in his heart: "There are several versions of "Benxu". The version made in the 1950s is the most well-known and influential. It is basically equivalent to "Titanic" of that era. But it’s not bad to see the 20s version of "Ben Xu."

In terms of artistic emotion, this film is quite successful, and of course it has a box office.The warm applause downstairs is the best proof!

"Mr. William, your presence is the honor of our cinema." The slightly fascinated Fox came over and said courteously while Situ Nan hadn't left.

"Very good movie! I like it! Of course, the popularity of the cinema also makes me happy. I have to say, Mr. Fox, you are an excellent filmmaker." Situ Nan nodded with a smile, and moved forward and held Fox's hand. , I am full of enthusiasm when I see my subordinates.

The light in the room became brighter, and the well-behaved He Xiangu sat beside Situ Nan in a proper manner, and the clothes had been carefully arranged, showing the image of a capable female white-collar worker.

The slight flushes on that delicate face indicated that a pleasant scene had happened here just now.

Fox smiled knowingly, looked at He Xiangu and immediately turned to Situ Nan, and whispered: "MGM's general manager Meyer is next door, do you want to see him?"

"Okay! I'll go to the office to look for you later." Situ Nan accepted happily, naturally not against knowing the soul of MGM.

After Fox left, Situ Nan smiled and said to He Xianggu: "Okay, everyone is gone, there is no need to look serious."

With that, they gently moved the blue silk on He Xiangu's ears. When the movie was climax just now, they couldn't help being attracted by the plot of the movie, and they also wiped out the flames.

"Blame you!" He Xiangu gave Situ Nan a white look, and the anger-like fascination was even more indescribable.

She simply scattered her hair, and in Situ Nan's appreciation, she drew up gracefully, revealing her delicate collarbone, her neck was white and slender, a little more noble, like a little swan.

It seems that the charm of this woman is being developed little by little by herself.

Situ Nan had a sense of satisfaction in his heart, and looked at He Xiangu with a smile, without urging her at all.

In the office of the president of Fox Shadow Company, Situ Nan met Meyer.
