The journey starts from the Titanic

Looking at Meyer's Jewish face, filled with shrewdness and calculations, he was in a bad mood.

I thought: Isn’t it just a few years early?What's so great!I don't believe I can't mix in Hollywood!

"MGM, you can't afford it!" Meyer sneered, disdainfully, he is indeed a nouveau riche. How much money do you dare to be mad?Look at your Uncle Mei not asking you to be a man?

"Anyway, no one wants your bad movie. I'm in a good mood today. Would you like to buy it for $1?"

Meyer asked with a smile.

He made no secret of the pride on his face, as if he was saying, I think you are so kind, kid!

"1 dollar? It seems not bad, let me think about it!"

Howard Hughes shook his face and was poked in the pain. Of course he was angry, but he was not a mortal after all. He pretended to be thinking, then shook his head and laughed, "Even if it is a failure, it is invaluable. After all, this is Howard Hugh. For the first time.

Seeing you are so familiar with the market, could it be the first time the Russian bought you for $1?Well, then you can enjoy the beautiful and intelligent Meyer for 1 cent for 1 dollar!"

This mouth is so spicy that it almost greets Meyer's ancestors. As we all know, Russia is the hardest hit area for Jews. Meyer is a Jew, a Jew from Russia, or a poor Jew who can't survive from Russia to the United States. , I don’t even know my date of birth, which has to be said to be a dark history.

Of course, it is also a very inspirational American dream.

But for Meyer, who was proud and famous, it was almost beaten!His face changed as soon as he heard it.

Seeing Meyer’s darkened face, Howard Hughes felt uncomfortable in his heart. This old man ridiculed himself every time he met. It’s okay. No matter how rude he is, he will be shameless. Just call him. The guy who came to America by selling butts.

Meyer pointed to Howard Hughes's face, squinted, and stared at him fiercely for a few seconds. The atmosphere was very tense, and the bank staff were numb. These two are VIP customers of the bank!

Their swords are drawn and they are almost about to fight.

Hmph, Meyer laughed angrily, still restrained, too lazy to be familiar with this Texan guy.

The two sides sprayed a few words and left a few ruthless words before they broke up in anger.

The bank clerk beside him was relieved.

When did the two have sex?

In short, I didn’t deal with it since the first meeting. The last time Howard Hughes went to MGM to promote his movie, he was ridiculed by MGM. Meyer even criticized the movie at 36 degrees without a dead end. With the onlookers of MGM, Howard Hughes left in embarrassment.

After MGM ate the ass, Howard Hughes naturally went to Twentieth Century William Films.

Speaking of which, MGM and William still have a grievance.

Rose came out of the vault and just ran into Meyer, who was still lingering. Unfortunately, she didn't catch up with the good show just now. Seeing Meyer's face was stinky, she greeted him and left.

"and many more!"

Meyer stopped Rose. Rose turned her head and looked at Meyer with some doubts. At this time, Meyer looked better, and smiled and invited Rose to have coffee together.

Rose thought to herself and agreed, and pointed to the cafe opposite the bank, meaning that she was waiting for him on the opposite side.

After waiting in the cafe for ten minutes, Meyer was able to manage the bank's business and appeared in front of Rose, restoring her shrewd demeanor.

"Mr. Meyer, what can you do with me?" Rose asked directly, sitting for a while, she was a little annoyed, and didn't want to go around with a sly guy like Meyer.

Meyer was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Rose to be so direct, and said readily, "I'm looking for you to cooperate."

"Cooperation?"

Rose glanced at Meyer, not remembering what good cooperation the two sides had.

"Hollywood is troublesome enough to face the invasion of those guys in New York. Those guys rely on money and don't understand anything, but they mess up the market."

Meyer solemnly said, "For these spoilers, MGM and William films should unite and resist foreign spoilers."

"Resist the foreign spoilers?"

Rose frowned. Seeing Meyer looked serious, she gave him a blank look. The giants on Wall Street can be boycotted if you say boycott?Is the tone too loud?

The Rockefeller Consortium's Raiden Hua Company is making big acquisitions in Hollywood and has merged several film and distribution theater companies. Why didn't you see MGM boycott?

Rose wanted this in her heart, but she didn't say it. She had to test what Meyer wanted to do. She smiled and asked, "For example?"

"For example, Howard Hughes, a guy who breaks the rules!" Meyer said frankly, so as not to conceal his disgust.

understood!

Rose nodded, feeling a little funny, how could Howard's boy make the famous Meyer remember?

"It's not good for us, and it's not necessary."

Rose shook her head. Howard Hughes was not a threat at all, and he was not even a member of Hollywood. He was only spotted by boring newspapers and appeared in newspapers frequently, which made some people look at him.

But what does it matter to me?

Meyer asked herself to boycott Howard Hughes. He really found the wrong person!

Meyer was a little disappointed, and Rose's reaction was within his expectations. He said: "You can get MGM's friendship! This is the benefit!"

"MGM's friendship, the weight is not light!"

Rose chuckled, noncommittal, looking at the proud face of Meyer, thinking that although you have a proud capital, but you want to talk about friendship, William’s movie and MGM really have no friendship, of course, there is no kindness, both sides Hardly socialize.

Rose didn’t want to offend Meyer too much, she still shook her head and explained: “The Hughes family is very influential in the oil industry. Although our 20th century William Film Company is now independent, the initial funding came from the oil industry. Hughes did no harm to our film company, why should we listen to you?

Besides, Mr. Meyer's first million dollars came from Griffith and his "The Birth of a Nation", which William Films has always been cherished."

"understood!"

As soon as Rose mentioned this, Meyer understood immediately and nodded solemnly.

Rose's meaning is very simple. I don't care how Howard Hughes corrupted his petrodollars, but it is impossible for me to target him.

As for what is behind, I have to investigate it myself!

Just because Howard Hughes's plane often landed at William Manor in Beverly Hills, Meyer knew that he really couldn't use off-board tricks against Howard Hughes.

Seeing Rose rejected herself without hesitation, and with a sense of fearlessness, he was angry and helpless.

The self-conceited MGM is nothing more than that in the eyes of others. It can’t help being bitter. There is petro-dollar support behind them, and Cummins Broadcasting Company’s support. Even real estate giants like Hollywood Development Company are also their ally. Next, MGM is really nothing.

Of course Mayer was not afraid of William Films. In the film industry, who has MGM never been afraid of?

It's just a little afraid.

That’s all for petrodollars, and William Films is not afraid of them, but Cummins Electric, who stands behind William Films, is different. It is the inventor of sound films and holds a large number of technology patents. Not to mention Hollywood filming. Most of the equipment is produced by Cummins Electric, which is equivalent to the lifeblood of Hollywood in the hands of others.

Wasn't it because a large number of film companies were driven from the East Coast by Edison's patent rogue?
