Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 49 Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang
The next day, the Wells Fargo branch in New York also opened for business.On the opening day, people from Morgan Bank, DuPont, and automobile companies all sent people to congratulate and send flower baskets.Vito Corleone also came to congratulate George in person.

A small opening ceremony turned out to be a lively event.The lively scene was also published in the next day's newspaper.

At this time, George had come to Pennsylvania to inspect the broadcasting project again.

Today’s broadcasters are already very good.Three times a day, morning and noon, one hour each time.Current news is broadcast in the morning, game broadcasts are broadcast at noon, and a collection of stories is broadcast in the evening.There will also be some music programs in between, but at this time they are all live performances.

After a period of adaptation, George's Panlong broadcast was much better than Westinghouse's broadcast.It is said that all current Westinghouse broadcasting personnel are still temporary personnel, and the broadcasting address is still in a temporary tent on the roof of the building.

However, George also drew on the design ideas of the recording studio when dealing with the acoustics of the broadcast studio.

After giving the broadcast company the task of recruiting people as quickly as possible and then training them, George continued south to Texas.

Because George is now a celebrity, he was announced by the local newspaper as soon as he arrived in Texas.Just like when he first arrived in Pennsylvania, there were reports that George was interested in buying land and building a city in Texas.

Texas is the largest state in the southern United States and the second largest state in the United States, second only to Alaska. Texas is close to the Gulf of Mexico and has a coastline. Texas was once an independent country. The largest refining and petrochemical center in the United States is located in Houston, Texas.

In fact, George really came to buy land.Spent a week in Texas.Then he contacted the state House of Representatives directly and proposed to purchase three pieces of land in Texas.These three pieces of land form a triangle.

The largest area is 21 acres, located in the western desert region of Texas.This area is the Wofkan Shale Formation of the Permian Basin.

Another piece of land is a dense pine forest in eastern Texas, sandwiched in a triangle between Dallas, Houston, and Shreveport, Louisiana.The area is 15 acres.

The other piece of land is located in Burkburnett, Oklahoma. This land is also a pasture, with an area of ​​7 acres for grazing.

When these two states received George's purchase application, they were also very puzzled. Some people also doubted whether George had discovered something here.However, some people have already tried to explore the Wofkan shale formation, which is basically a desert.

As for that triangular area, at this time, this area was extremely backward.Although there are scattered villages and sawmills composed of houses with asphalt and paper roofs, there are few decent roads in this area and the population is very small.After suffering from consecutive years of drought, local white farmers are facing banks coming to collect debts.Therefore, many people speculate that this is the place chosen by George to build the city.

As for the last piece of 7 acres of grassland in Oklahoma, others interpreted it as a signal that George wanted to engage in breeding.

Therefore, the stock market in the breeding industry has risen because of the legend that George is interested in it.

In order to get these three pieces of land as soon as possible, George also asked Wells Fargo and Paul to form a negotiation team and come to Texas.

"Boss" This is Paul greeting George.

"Well, you're here. Thank you for your hard work. Have a night's rest first. Where is the person in charge of National Wells Bank?" George asked.

"I'm here, boss. My name is Charlie." The man named Charlie replied.

"Well, very good, Charlie, during the negotiation, you are responsible for all financial aspects, including the appraisal report. I do not ask for the price to be kept to the lowest, but I ask that these three pieces of land must be obtained."

"Understood, boss." They both replied at the same time.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. The train is quite hard all the way here."

"Okay, thank you boss." Charlie replied.After saying that, he took the lead and walked outside.

Paul, who stayed behind, said again: "Boss, this is a film and television company and a publishing house that I bought. The film and television company is in Los Angeles, acquired by Harry, and the publishing house is in New York, and it was doing well before. Okay, but because I invested my money in the stock market, and after I lost, I borrowed money from the mafia, and now I’m selling it cheap, I bought it.”

After handing all the information to George, he pulled out another picture and said, "This is the mechanical equipment you requested. It has been completed and is temporarily placed at the security base."

"Well, good job, Paul." George confirmed.

"And boss, I have already screened three of the mining companies you asked me to acquire. This is the information of the three mining companies. Please take a look."

"Okay, let's put it here. We'll talk about this later. The task now is to get these three pieces of land. There are also newspapers to buy them. I want every state to have one of our newspapers."

"I understand, boss." After saying that, he also went out to rest.

The arrival of Paul and his entourage certainly attracted the attention of reporters, and many reporters blocked the door of the hotel the next day.

When George went out, he saw the reporters surrounding him, and then whispered to the security captain, and then the security personnel formed the first wall to keep the reporters out.Paul and the others immediately stood in front of George.George then raised his hand, gestured, and said with a slight smile: "Dear reporters, please don't be crowded. Being stuck here will affect the normal operation of the hotel. So, we can stand aside, okay?"

After saying that, he took the initiative to walk aside.

The flow of people also moved as George moved around.After arriving at the side, George said again: "Okay, this should be my second interview, so I will selectively return to five questions. So please raise your hand to ask, thank you!"

Then the camera's flash went off.Reporters also raised their hands to ask questions.

George chose one at random, and the other party asked: "Hello, sir, I am a reporter from the New York Times. I would like to ask you, did you really come to Texas to buy land and build a city?"

"Yes, I have seen a report before that a professor named Ned in California has purchased a piece of desert to build a city, so I also want to try and see what it is like to build my own city with my own hands. Feel."

"I would like to ask Mr. Orwell, why did you buy so much land at one time, and why did you buy a piece of Gobi?"

"Okay, even though it's two questions, I still choose to answer. I bought three pieces of land at one time, just because the first piece of land is larger. I'm learning from Professor Ned, haha. And these three pieces of land have become A triangle can complement each other in the future. I plan to build that piece of Gobi into a factory, that piece of forest to build a city, and the last piece of land to be a supply base for vegetables and meat. In this way, a three-dimensional city can be built. Also, here It's just a direction of my choice. I will go to California and choose two pieces of land. As for where it will end up, it depends on the decision of the state assembly."

"Mr. Orwell, do you have a budget for building this city?"

"No, because I haven't bought the land yet, so I can't make an estimate. However, the value of these lands needs to be evaluated by appraisers, and then we can discuss it slowly."

"Mr. Orwell, someone calls you a lucky boy. What do you think of this title?"

"Well, actually I think I'm quite lucky, but people who love to laugh are not unlucky, right? Haha, there's one last question, think about it before asking it!" George replied.

"Choose me, choose me!" Many reporters raised their hands as high as possible.

"Okay, the last question is for this beautiful lady." George pointed to the female reporter who was squeezed out of the crowd.

"Oh, what good luck!" a reporter said.

"Thank you, Mr. Orwell! I would like to ask you, as a billionaire, what are your criteria for choosing a spouse? Do you have a girlfriend?" the female reporter asked with a red face.

"Haha!" The scene was filled with cheers.

"Haha, well, this is the first time someone has asked me this personal question in public. First of all, I don't have a girlfriend yet. And then I haven't considered my criteria for choosing a mate. Because I have always been busy and have no time. I still have some time to write. But I pay more attention to eye contact. So I can only say that I haven’t met him yet. Well, I have something else to do. The next matter of purchasing the land will be the responsibility of our company president Paul. After all, I still have to School. Thank you everyone.”

After saying that, George was ready to move forward.The car that came to pick up George also arrived at the steps.Some reporters wanted to ask him, but they were stopped by security personnel.

After George and his group got on the bus, they drove to the station, leaving Paul and others behind to deal with the land.

Two days later, in Los Angeles, after George got off the train, he went directly to the hotel to rest.It was not until the next day that, accompanied by security personnel, he began to appear in various places in California, making a serious inspection gesture.

George's itinerary was reported in detail every day by the reporters following him.In order to be more realistic, George also looked at a piece of land of about 5000 acres in Fairmont, Mariposa, California.Also a tract of land in Calaveras County, northwest of the town of Copello, in the Northern California region.

George also asked Wells Fargo to hire an appraisal company to evaluate the two pieces of land.Because the area was relatively small and even privately owned, the procedure was very simple, so it was bought directly by George Yi at a very low price.

And George's actions also contributed to Texas' advancement.On the third day after George returned to Los Angeles, news came from Paul that he was already preparing for a meeting.

The next day, George came to Hollywood, which is the place where dreams begin for everyone who pursues the dream of stardom.

Since 1912, many film companies have established themselves in Hollywood. In 1913, Carl Laimer established Universal Studios in Hollywood, marking a shift in film production from manual workshops to industrial production. In 1916, the famous Lasky Film Company merged with Paramount Film Distribution Company, and a large-scale Hollywood film enterprise integrating production, distribution and exhibition began to take shape.The First World War provided Hollywood with an opportunity for rapid development. Production companies sought market protection by purchasing large-scale theater chains, and large-scale theater chains obtained stable film sources through the studios they originally owned.

We must also mention the control of Hollywood by the Morgan and Rockefeller families.The shadows of these two consortiums are behind the eight major film companies in later generations.

However, this is all because George does not want to participate in this kind of control. He just wants to publish two movies every year to earn money. After all, he has watched so many classic movies in his previous life. It would be a complete waste not to publish them.

After getting off the car in front of this five-story building, George looked at the company called Paide Pictures. Of course, it will now be renamed Panlong Pictures.This company was the film company that Paul acquired for himself.
