Chapter 222 High Nine's Idol
Lin Yanni asked, "Brother Jiu, what are you going to do in the afternoon?"
Gao Jiu said: "I promised to write a report on the international situation to Rogers. I haven't been concerned about the past two days. I'll write a report this afternoon."
Lin Yanni asked, "Do I influence you here?"
Gao Jiu said, "It's okay."
Lin Yanni prepared paper and pen for Gao Jiu. Although Gao Jiu did not let her leave, she was an intelligence officer after all. Although the international situation has no direct contact with Wuhan under the current circumstances, it was also one of the important information after all. She brewed a cup of tea for Gao Jiu and sat down consciously to the place where Gao Jiu could not directly see the contents of Gao Jiu's writing with her eyes.
Gao Jiu admired Lin Yanni's point very much. He smiled slightly and began to write a report to Rogers.
Lin Yanni sat aside and silently stared at the man in front of her. She liked to see him focus on doing things, but felt that he was full of mystery. With this man, Lin Yanni could always feel novel and exciting, and more importantly, she had a sense of stability and safety.
Gao Jiu wrote for a while, as if he was having some problems. He frowned slightly, shook his head, and stopped writing. After a while, he suddenly laughed. He picked up the piece of paper on the table and said to Lin Yanni, "Go and bring the matches."
Lin Yanni took out a match from the drawer of the table and handed it to Gao Jiu. Gao Jiu burned the things he wrote, and he felt that he should not leave any written things. In the next few years, too many major things happened in the world. Once it was leaked in advance, the entire history might change.
The major historical events that Gao Jiu mastered had had a great influence on the world. In this great era, he was just a small figure. He only hoped that history would follow the original trajectory so that he could seize the opportunity and enjoy the dividends brought by historical development.
There is another problem. Although Gao Jiu has a little fame in China, he is not a politician and does not have that much influence. Even if he wrote a speculative report on the world pattern, those stubborn and arrogant Americans would probably not believe it. He also did not have the time and energy to go and have a verbal battle with the guys on the board of directors of the General Volti Company like he persuaded Rogers.
Seeing is true is the creed of most Americans. Facts are better than words, and Gao Jiu must provide strong evidence to convince those Americans!
After understanding this, Gao Jiu said to Lin Yanni: "Girl, go and talk to Rogers for a while."
Lin Yanni said, "Okay!" After that, she picked up the phone in the room.
These days, Lin Yanni has consciously played the role of Gao Jiu's secretary. At this moment, she didn't know whether Rogers was in the room or whether it was convenient to receive Gao Jiu? Therefore, even though she lived in the same hotel, she still had to say hello in advance.
Lin Yanni picked up the phone and wanted to access Rogers' room and said, "Mr. Rogers, I don't know if you are free. Mr. Xiao wants to visit you."
At this time, there were really guests in Rogers' room, who were a major general member of the National Air Commission. In Rogers' mind, Gao Jiu's status was much more important. He immediately said: "Beautiful Miss Lin, I am free now, welcome you and Mr. Xiao."
After putting down the phone, Rogers said, "Sorry, I have something more important to deal with now. Let's make an appointment."
In the minds of Chinese people, the status of Western foreign devils has always been relatively high. Even today when China is rising, this view is still common in people's minds. During the Republic of China period, the Americans were even more arrogant in the eyes of Chinese people. The major general did not mind the arrogance shown in Rogers' words, but was a little curious, not knowing who could make this foreign devil pay so much attention.
After he said goodbye, he saw Gao Jiu and Lin Yanni in the corridor. Seeing their fashionable outfits, he secretly guessed in his heart that he didn't know which young ladies they were from.
When Rogers saw Gao Jiu and Lin Yanni, he said enthusiastically: "My friend, beautiful Miss Lin, I am looking forward to your arrival. I am very happy to see you."
He said this, not because he was polite, but because he had sent a telegram to the country about his contact with Gao Jiu, which attracted the attention of the company's bosses. They were waiting for the result of Rogers' further contact with Gao Jiu.
Rogers asked the two to sit down and asked, "Do you drink tea or coffee?"
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "It's better to have some bar."
Rogers said, "OK. This conversation makes it more lively." Then he took a bottle of red wine from the cabinet.
Lin Yanni took it, brought a high-legged glass and served them aside.
Rogers asked, "Did you send me that report on the analysis of the international situation?"
Gao Jiu said: "Yes, not."
Rogers asked in confusion: "Oh, my friend, your Chinese culture is too profound. I don't understand what you said."
Gao Jiu said: "Our Chinese culture is profound and profound. I am frankly speaking, your history in the United States is too short. Although you are young and energetic, your cultural heritage is still a little poor."
At this time, the United States was at its peak, and most Americans were arrogant and conceited. Rogers felt a little hurt. He said: "My friend, we won't discuss this topic."
Gao Jiu smiled and said, "What he said is right. Let's talk casually."
Rogers said, "Okay then! You start first."
Gao Jiu asked: "Are you familiar with Howard Hughes?"
Howard Hughes is a famous American business tycoon, investor, aviation engineer, film producer, philanthropist, and one of the most millionaires in the United States. In addition, he is also an independent travel pilot and adventurer.
He is suave, handsome and elegant, and has had countless well-known beauties in his life, including many internationally renowned movie stars. The audience who have watched the famous movie "Roman Holiday" must be impressed by the beautiful princess inside.
The actor who plays the princess in the film, Audrey Hepburn, is one of the girlfriends of Howard Hughes. In addition, his girlfriend also has princesses from many countries and the daughters of the president. His life is colorful and can be said to be one of the most successful men in the world.
Howard Hughes is one of Gao Jiu's idols. He admires the free and easy spirit of Howard Hughes most.
On July 14, 1938, Howard Hughes flew the Lockheed 14-n2 "Super Electroluctella" twin-transport Hughes and his crew at an average flight speed of 208 miles per hour, and made a stop in some areas of Paris, Moscow, and Siberia. After a 91-hour and 14-minute flight, landing at an airport in Brooklyn, the plane sailed 14,824 miles. It broke the 7-day and 18-hour global flight record set by Willie Post five years ago.
Rogers said: "Are you talking about that guy Howard? You can be considered a friend of mine. Are you familiar with him?"
Gao Jiu shook his head and said, "I don't know him. I want to tell you something about him. The World Expo will be held next year. In order to promote this World Expo, Howard Hughes will challenge Willy Post's 7-day and 18-hour global flight record. Have you heard of this?"
Rogers said: "He told me that the New York Times has made public reports. However, I am a little unfavorable to him. This guy spends too much time on women. Howard has quietly tried the global flight record of 7 days and 18 hours set by Willie Post. His best score was eight days and six hours. He could not defeat that guy Willie Post."
Gao Jiu said: "I don't think so. I think he will definitely break Willy Post's record this time and will greatly surpass his record."
Rogers shook his head and said, "I don't think it's possible."
Gao Jiu said: "How about this, let's make a bet. I think it will take only 92 hours to complete this round-robin flight."
It was less than four days in 92 hours, which was simply a fantasy. Rogers' head shook like a rattle. He felt that Gao Jiu's speech was too outrageous. Therefore, he also had doubts about the international situation analysis report that Gao Jiu will provide soon.
Since he had such an idea, he felt that Gao Jiu was unreliable, so he didn't even have the interest to bet with Gao Jiu. He said: "This matter is impossible, and betting is meaningless. Let's not talk about this matter."
Gao Jiu said: "You Americans often say that seeing is true, and we Chinese often say that facts are better than words. Therefore, I think it is too early to go to the United States and your company to talk about changes in the international situation to infer the future market prospects.
I suggest that you should make a bet with me, and we will bet 1 meter yuan, just treat it as a joke. From July 14th to now, there will be only one month. If the facts prove that what I said is correct, we will continue to negotiate at that time.
This is what I said, and it is not, and it is not. Of course, I will also provide you with an international situation analysis report, but I will not let you see this report now. I will open a safe in the US bank in the United States. After July 14th, after Mr. Hodward really created a miracle, I believe you will be willing to pay me and bet on the dollar you lost. By that time, I will tell you the password of the safe."
Seeing Gao Jiu so confident, Rogers said skeptically: "Then just say it."
Gao Jiu made this bet to make Rogers believe in his prediction ability. Then he will really prepare an important material for Rogers, which was the famous Munich Conference held in Munich, Germany from September 28 to September 30.
From September 29 to 30, 1938, British Prime Minister Chamberlain, French Prime Minister Daraday, German Head of State Hitler and Italian Prime Minister Mussolini held a summit on the cemetery of Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia to Germany's four-country summit.
After this meeting, the German army occupied the Sudeten District from October to November 1938. On March 15, 1939, it annexed all the territory of Czechoslovakia and attacked Poland on September 1.
These wars are actually the prelude to World War II.
Gao Jiu believes that the directors of Rogers' company who see these contents of Gao Jiu's predictions will definitely believe that Gao Jiu will make a correct judgment on the prediction of a large-scale war that is about to break out in the world.
With such a foundation, the development of the B-24 bomber will be greatly advanced.
After finishing the conversation with Rogers, it was almost time for supper. Lin Yanni said hesitantly: "Brother Jiu, I hope you can go to my house for a meal. My father still has something to talk to you."
Lin Yanni hopes that Gao Jiu can communicate with her family before leaving.
Although Lin Wenhan reached out to help Gao Jiu, the gift he gave was generous enough, Gao Jiu did not intend to intervene in Lin Yanni's housework. He had no considerations about marriage and love at all, and he did not want to involve energy in this regard. He said: "This, it will be inconvenient for me to go. Just convey your gratitude to me."
Lin Yanni felt a little disappointed when she heard him say this, but she didn't say anything about this issue. She said, "Then where can we eat?" Although they lived in a restaurant, Lin Yanni still wanted to go out for dinner with Gao Jiu, then go to the movies, and then take a walk by the river. She knew that Gao Jiu would leave Wuhan soon, and she cherished this short time of time.
Gao Jiu said happily: "Everyone is subject to your arrangement."
