Subtitle of this chapter: Are the first two not great enough? Then look at this one!

……………………

Our Master Yuan sighed in his heart when he saw Gu Weijun and Meng Xiancheng look in disbelief. It seems that these two people don’t know the power of the movie.

There is no way, who says this is not a world of entertainment?

He raised his hand and looked at the Howronsi watch. It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon.

So Yuan Yan suddenly coughed and said, "Brother Shaochuan, I just said this to Zhigong. Don't believe it and wait for it. But you two must not be influenced by domestic public opinion!"

How to say, at this time, the folk patriots of Seris are the same as those of the folk patriots in all eras and all countries. Even if these folk patriots are highly educated intellectuals, they still have unrealistic and high expectations for the government.

And the Beiyang government is another regime that is easily influenced by the "public opinion" of intellectuals.

In fact, on that timeline, the Republic of China took back Shandong through this international conference. With our Master Yuan's interference, it may not necessarily cost more than before.

"I'll say goodbye after that, I'll leave first. By the way, the Shih Tzu dog asked my wife to help me raise it for a few days, and I'll take it later."

Gu Weijun was very polite to send the two out of the door. Yuan and Meng were not in a hurry to call a taxi, but started together.

"Bohong, why are you looking at me like this?"

"Hongjian, you have really changed." Meng Xiancheng said with a complicated expression, "I'm a little afraid to recognize it."

"Hahaha..." Our Master Yuan laughed, "Bohong, Bohong. Don't you hear that once you enter the world, you are as deep as the sea, and you will be a passerby from now on!"

He smiled and took a taxi carriage and waved goodbye to his old classmate.

"Sorry, our 'high-end' restaurants like us only entertain familiar guests."

Yuan Yan suddenly glanced at the foreman and snorted from his nose, "I made an appointment with someone."

The foreman asked with a sneering smile on his face, "Okay, this 'sir', please tell me your friend's name."

"Roosevelt, Franklin Delano Roosevelt!"

Some people think that the Roosevelt family is a natural noble, while others think that they are nothing more than small landlords from the lowlands of the southern Netherlands.

This sentence was said by FDR's niece Alice Roosevelt Langworth.

Roosevelt is the English-language Dutch surname "vanrosevelt" or "vanrosenvelt", which originally means "rose field". Yes, the ancestors of the Roosevelt family were one of the "sea coachman" on Manhattan Island with glass beads from Indians.

However, at the beginning, this ancient family was not very prominent in New York. Their wealth came from real estate investment on Manhattan Island, sugar trading in the West Indies and careful financial management.

Until FDR's great-great-grandfather Isaac Roosevelt, who actively participated in the American independence movement and was a member of the Federal Party. The sugar trader participated in the Constitutional Convention, established the New York Bank with Alexander Hamilton, and served as chairman.

Now, the Roosevelt family became a real American wealthy family.

Although the Roosevelt family had already produced a commander of the US imperial commander, FDR's uncle Theodore Roosevelt. However, this is still not as good as the family genealogy of FDR's mother's side, which is his middle name "Drano".

Among the charters of the Mayflower ship, there are seven "Drano" and the Mayflower Agreement has three "Drano" signatures.

FDR's grandfather, Valen II, had a property of one million dollars in 1850. It is said that at that time, there would not be more than a dozen people with equal wealth in the United States.

In fact, the wealth of this mogul comes from trading with Seris's tea and Afurong.

So how did NY meet FDR? Both of them are now considered fellow travelers who make a living on Wall Street.

Frd is the Democratic Party’s vice presidential candidate this time, and he resigned from his office as deputy minister of the Navy. After his failed election, he went into business according to the practice of the US imperial “revolving door”.

At the invitation of Van Lille Black, an important Democratic patron, FDR became the vice president of American Fidelity Assurance Company and the head of Wall Street. This company was one of the four major guarantee companies in the United States at that time.

FDR's annual salary in this company is 25,000 US dollars, five times that of his position as deputy minister of the Admiralty. Moreover, he only has half a day to work in the company every day, and he can be busy with his own political activities and legal business the rest of his time.

On January 7 this year, Mr. Black held a grand official cocktail party at the most famous Delmonik Bar on Wall Street, announcing that the Democratic rising star FDR joined his company. At that time, many Wall Street celebrities attended to congratulate him.

After our Master Yuan learned the news, he shamelessly followed Louis Baker and his uncle George Baker to attend the cocktail party, thus meeting this great savior of the free world.

There is no way, FDR is really important to his "magnificent plan". He has to be so important that he has to make a relationship no matter how shameless he is.

The foreman still said unyieldingly: "Sir, are you and Mr. Roosevelt friends?"

Yuan Yan, who was so angry, suddenly adjusted the charm value to 19 o'clock in one breath and shouted loudly: "Shut up and lead the way!"

"Mr. Yuan, long time no see. I didn't expect that the two of us who live in New York would meet in Washington."

The savior, who is not lame, sees the great writer come in, stand up and shakes his hands, and makes a joke.

In fact, FDR came to Washington to bid farewell to President Woodrow Wilson with the Democrats.

Master Yuan also said with a smile: "Mr. Roosevelt, who told us that we are all very busy people?"

"clatter!"

He snapped his fingers at the foreman and said, "Order the food!"

"Ah!" The guy woke up from his dream and said, "Sir, what do you want to order?"

“Come on the menu once!”

The foreman said in a daze: "Do it all happen?!"

"Yes, it's hard for Chinese people like me to get a meal at the American 'high-end' restaurant, so they naturally have to come all of them."

After the foreman with a pale face left, the great savior of the free world sighed and said, "Sorry, Mr. Yuan."

"Hey..." Yuan Yanshu naturally knew what he was sorry for, so he sighed and forced a smile: "Mr. Roosevelt, it's not your business."

In any case, FDR was a rare American politician who was not biased against minorities at that time.

In addition to being a legal counsel to the Hongmen, he was not so discriminatory to minorities, including Jews.

What I heard about in the movie was that Roosevelt's wife Anna, Roosevelt and his half-brother Rossi Roosevelt were radical anti-Semitics. However, he himself relied heavily on Jews in his career, especially in his current Wall Street career.

He believed that the Jews were loyal, professional and skilled in business. So when he entered the White House, the Jews accounted for only 3% of the American population and 15% of the number of people in his cabinet. So later some people suspected that he had Jewish descent.

Therefore, this great savior did introduce Catholics and Jews, and changed the situation where Wasp controls the federal government alone. In this regard, he is worthy of being a great politician.

FDR said very seriously: "Mr. Yuan, I am not only sorry for this incident, but also for your experience at the New York Police Department."

Yuan Yanshu also said seriously: "Mr. Roosevelt, thank you very much. To me, that's all over."

The great savior of the free world licked his lips and said, "Since Mr. Yuan said that it has been over, can you write articles in Le Monde...well, can you pause for a moment?"

"To be honest, Mr. Roosevelt. I was not going to write it anymore." Master Yuan, who was not going to write it down because he had already written nine articles, said honestly.

Fdr breathed a sigh of relief, raised the cup in his hand and said, "Then I want to thank you.cheers."

"cheers." Yuan Yan suddenly took a sip of the wine before the meal and said, "Mr. Roosevelt, I called your secretary. I think you know what I'm looking for you."

"Mr. Yuan, iamnotpaddy, butihavenotforgotten (Translation: I'm not an Irish, but I won't forget it.), are you talking about the movie that was so popular, right?"

What is a guarantee company?

Generally speaking, in order to reduce risks, banks do not directly lend money to individuals and small businesses, but require borrowers to find third-party guarantees, so they have a guarantee company.

However, guarantee companies can do a lot, and can even monopolize loan channels in certain industries, such as second-hand housing transactions, vehicle loans, film industry, and financing guarantee companies specializing in financial derivatives.

Then, on the other hand, if a retail investor handes the money to these guarantee companies, they can get much higher interest than the bank, and of course the risk is much greater.

Therefore, a guarantee company is a financial enterprise between a real bank and a loan agent.

Our Master Yuan talked to FDR about financing "The Lonely Girl in the Famine". This is a big business, so he is naturally qualified to find this vice president.

He nodded and said, "That's right, that movie."

"Three million US dollars..." FDR said with a difficult face, "I'm afraid we Fidelity can do nothing."

Yuan Yanshu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Roosevelt, I don't hide it from you. The actual budget of this film will not exceed one million US dollars. The number of three million is just a gimmick for external publicity."

"So that's it, but I heard that your Baker family has a very good relationship. Can't you make a loan directly from the First National Bank of New York?"

FDR is now one of the Wall Street vampires, and he is naturally well-informed.

Our Master Yuan thought to myself, if I hadn't been to hook up with you, the great savior of the free world, how could I have given Fidelity this great opportunity?

He replied frankly: "Of course, Mr. Roosevelt, as you said. My relationship with the Baker family is indeed good, but..."

Yuan Yan suddenly spread her hands and said, "But the movie industry is different from other industries."

"Oh, Mr. Yuan. How about a different method?" The future savior asked with interest.

"Mr. Roosevelt, although it's a bit ahead of the curve now, I think that movies are an art first. For example, if a novel is not completed by a writer, but is created by several writers with different opinions, different styles and ideas, will this novel be successful?"

Master Yuan said without any hiding, "Let me talk about it, the reason why I came to you Fidelity on behalf of DreamWorks is to find a few more investors for "The Lonely of Famine". Mr. Roosevelt, do you understand what I mean?"

An outstanding figure like FDR naturally turns his mind very quickly, and he can understand what this Chinese means after a moment of thinking.

The more diversified the investment in this movie, the smaller the investor's voice will be, and there will be no too strong investor, so that DreamWorks, the producer, will take control.

"Mr. Yuan, I understand." The savior nodded, "Then the next question is, how can you guarantee that our Fidelity can recover the investment?"

He continued to ask: "Even if it's not three million US dollars, it's a huge budget of one million US dollars. And the director is Mr. David Griffith. Of course, I personally admire his movies, but he has really been a veritable box office poison recently."

"Well, Mr. Roosevelt's concern is very normal." Yuan Yanshu said without hesitation, "David's films are indeed a bit unstoppable. They are too tall and rude..."

He suddenly changed his mind and said, "Mr. Roosevelt, I have given you two tickets for the movie "Twelve People". Have you and your wife gone to watch it?"

Hearing this, fdr immediately said happily: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan. Eleanor and I have already watched it. A very good movie, really great. Even from the perspective of a lawyer, it is very touching."

"The artistic effect of audio movies is indeed stronger than that of silent movies, and it is much stronger..."

"Miss Lilian-Miss Gish's directorial level is really beyond my expectations..."

"The actors inside are really amazing, especially the male protagonist who plays Juror No. 6..."

The great savior of the free world talked for a long time, and finally said firmly: "Of course, the biggest contributor to this movie is you screenwriters...

He said a little yearning: "It's such an unprecedented strong lineup! It's hard to imagine that Ms. Vera Cather, Mr. Theodore Dresse, Mr. Fitzgerald, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Brown, Mr. Pulitzer, and Mr. Yuan, you would join hands to write a movie script..."

The great savior of the free world said a little disappointedly: "I think there will probably not be so many literary masters working together to write a script in the future."

Yes, FDR is also a movie lover, especially after he became a cripple…
