Livermore's teeth were grinning, Coolidge's face was full of smirk, I was pretending to be mysterious, Yassel's laughter couldn't help but make the people in the office stunned and scream.

"Boss, I understand. For these 3 billion, you must have joined forces to make some tricks. I guess Livermore is the mastermind." The fat man understood when he saw that the few of us looked like this.

"I am the mastermind? Berg, you have wronged me this time. The mastermind is Calvin, and the boss and I are accomplices." Livermore squeezed his eyes at me.

"Accomplices, accomplices, we are all accomplices." I nodded.

"Calvin, Livermore, how is your Vadivasf plan implemented now?" After a while of joke, I looked at Livermore and Coolidge seriously.

I only know the general idea of ​​this Wadivasf plan, and I don’t even know the details of the implementation, and I leave it to Coolidge and Livermore.

The two looked at each other and Coolidge made a gesture: "We have cast a big net now. When the stock market collapses, it is when we close the net and salvage it."

"Can we catch this big fish with the Rockefeller Consortium?" the fat man asked.

Livermore did not nod or shook his head, but said mysteriously: "If you don't catch it, you will have to break half of its body!"

Looking at the confident expressions of these guys, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But, boss. I think once the Vadivasf plan is implemented, we have to pay special attention to handling some things." Livermore said to me.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"Dreamworks' reputation problem. We have made this plan. There will definitely be people who criticize us for making money from the country. You have to consider this." Livermore reminded me carefully.

Yes. Once the stock market collapses, American wealth will disappear overnight. Instead, we not only have no losses, but we have made a lot of money, which will definitely be scolded.

"This is a promotional issue, I left it to Gans." I looked at Gans with a smile.

Gans shook his head helplessly: "You guys, do something to let me wipe my butt!"

"In addition, Andre, you have to allocate some money to do some large-scale charity. Anyway, try to do something that can gain fame at that time. We will discuss these things later. Our main goal now is to concentrate all our experiences to survive this stock market collapse." Coolidge waved at me very firmly.

On October 20th, nothing major happened in the United States. Not only did nothing major happened, but society was very normal.

The stock market is still so hot, and the people are still so crazy.

At noon, Coolidge sneaked into my office and placed a stack of information in front of my desk.

"What is this? Your TV station shooting plan!?" I said with a smile.

Coolidge shook his head: "I don't need to write the shooting plan so detailed, let's take a look. It's the top secret information I just got from the National Statistics Agency."

"Top secret information?" I immediately became energetic when I heard this.

After opening the data, I found that it was all about data, describing the survey situation just counted.

After I hurriedly swiped these materials, I shivered a little.

Because if these materials are published publicly in society, they will definitely cause considerable chaos.

There are many contents in the information display, and it is very important to have the following:

In 1929, Americans' purchasing power had been severely imbalanced. From 192 to 1928, investment income increased from 100 to 410, while wage index increased from 100 to 112. A huge share of national income was saved for investment, rather than consumption and driving domestic demand.

Two-thirds of the country's savings are saved by families with annual income of more than US$100 million. Those families with annual income of less than US$1,500 are actually unable to make ends meet. Such families account for a considerable proportion in society. And millions of families have annual incomes of even less than US$1,000.

The basic fact is that the public's purchasing power cannot digest the national output, and wealth has undergone a very abnormal deviation.

In addition, in production, the savings achieved by technological progress are not passed on to consumers at a lower price, but are converted into dividends, salary and bonuses. The monopoly, mergers and alliances of various situations have made the strength of large consortiums stronger, while the super hoarding of social wealth has stimulated the stock market to rise rapidly.

"Andre, have you seen it? This is the irresolvable fatal weakness of capitalism that the Germans named Karl Marx said. Yes, even if God comes, it is impossible to solve this tragedy." Coolidge pointed to the information and sighed deeply.

Not only him, but I was also in a heavy mood when I read these materials.

Since this economic crisis, although rich people will suffer, those ordinary people will suffer.

But what's the use of sighing? This is not something we can solve at all.

The two of us, one is just a retired former president, and the other is a filmmaker.

"Calvin, have you told Herbert to think about it?" I lit a cigarette, took a sip and handed it to Coolidge.

Coolidge took my cigarette, took a sip, vomited a smoke, and squinted his eyes. He didn't speak for a long time, just squinted his eyes. His firm face was shrouded in smoke, making me unable to see his expression, and I could not guess what he was thinking in his heart.

This is Coolidge. Sometimes, I feel that I can't understand what this guy thinks and does so that as soon as he takes off his pants, I know what he shits. But sometimes, I find that he is completely like a stranger. Because I don't know anything about him.

Sometimes, in Gans' words, he is the most lustful old pervert in Hollywood and the most unfair person. Sometimes, he is so indifferent and calm, as if he is an old well, calm. Sometimes, he is passionate and decisive. He doesn't look like a fifty-year-old man, and sometimes, he is still the greatest American president in the eyes of the people. He is determined, tolerant, endless resilience, and an extraordinary sense of responsibility.

This is Coolidge, a man who is so complicated that he cannot even understand himself.

After a long time, Coolidge smiled bitterly.

It can be seen that he was somewhat disappointed with Hoover.

Before 1928, Coolidge's most supportive person was Hoover. It was him who little by little who supported Hoover from a small staff member to the US president.

At that time, in his eyes, Herbert Hoover was a person with great ability, ideas and even a little similar to him in terms of personality.

Giving the seat to such a person, allowing him to take over his job and continue his unfinished career is the biggest reason Coolidge chose Hoover.

At the beginning, Hoover's actions did indeed satisfy Coolidge very much. His series of policies were completely based on the policies originally formulated by Coolidge, but since 1929, especially since May this year, Herbert Hoover seemed to have turned a deaf ear to Coolidge and my opinions.

It’s not that this guy burned the bridge across the river. In fact, Hoover has never changed to Coolidge and me. If we have any difficulties, Hoover will always agree to be clean and neat, but Hoover, who became president, is becoming more and more confident in himself.

As a president, it is a good thing to firmly believe in yourself. A fluctuating president cannot do big things, but if you believe in yourself too much, that is arrogance.

That's what Herbert Hoover is now.

Coolidge told him about the fact that the US economy has a certain bubble as early as when he took office. However, the economy has soared since 1929. Coolidge and I have reminded him more than once, but the result is often left alone.

In the past, Coolidge and I couldn't do it again, but after Hoover disappointed us again and again, this time, Coolidge was a little selfish.

"Andre, do you know what I think now?" Coolidge sat on my desk, staring at my face through the smoke.

His expression, his posture, his speaking posture, his tone, and his eyes were like an old cowboy who was injured in a fight. That sadness and helplessness would make people feel a little sad.

I have never seen Coolidge like this before.

"What do you think?" I smiled and asked back.

Coolidge extinguished the cigarette, then raised his chin and looked at the sky outside the window, and slowly said, "Speak up and don't laugh. I really want the collapse of the stock market to come as soon as possible. At that time, Herbert, a bastard, knew that what we said was not a lie."

After saying this, Coolidge smiled, but his face was stiff.

He has a stubborn personality, since he entered politics, and this goal is to create a prosperous America and a prosperous America.

Starting from a lawyer, he climbed up step by step and went through a lot of hardships to become president. After two re-elections, he has been firmly adhering to a loose economic policy, allowing the US economy to develop rapidly during his eight years in office, and made these eight years the people become a "Coolidge-like prosperity."

This is the greatest comfort and pride for a president who regards making America prosperous and prosperous as his goal.

But now, he hopes that the stock market collapse can come as soon as possible. This sentence contains a lot of helplessness.

"Calvin, what would you do if the consequences of this stock market crash were greater than you thought?" Looking at Coolidge, I said something I had wanted to say for a long time.

Although Coolidge had a keen premonition of the stock market collapse and the bubble in the US economy, the scale of the economic crisis in history was completely different from the scale of the stock market collapse he imagined.

If he found that the facts were worse than he expected, I don't know what would happen to him.

To my surprise, Coolidge did not show any surprise expression after hearing my words, nor was he surprised, but was very calm.

"Andre, I have thought about this question you said a long time ago. And I think the situation you said is really possible. What can I do? I am just an expired president. You just treat me as a character. In the eyes of others, I am just an old man in his fifties." Coolidge said with a hint of self-deprecation.

I laughed. Then I stood up and walked to Coolidge and patted him on the shoulder hard.

"Calvin, you guy has suddenly become very depressed recently. This is not like you. Don't worry, if such a bad thing happens, I dare to follow us. Herbert will definitely come to us at that time. Do you believe it?"

My words finally made Coolidge smile on his face.

"Yes. That's right. Herbert is such a temper. If he finds himself hitting a wall, he will definitely climb in front of us." Coolidge laughed, as if seeing Hoover's embarrassment.

The two of us walked to the windowsill. The weather outside was not very good and it was a bit cloudy.

The wind was blowing, it was a little cool, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, the clouds were very low, and there was a faint sound of thunder, as if it was about to rain.

"Andre, sometimes I think that I might have done two things in my life. One is to become the 30th president of the United States." Coolidge stared at the sky outside and murmured to himself.

I smiled brightly: "What about another thing?"

Coolidge's mouth curled up, showing a unique innocent smile.

Then he looked at me and said sincerely: "The other thing is to become the chief consultant of Andre Corleon."

Coolidge's words made me laugh. Coolidge laughed too.

Looking at Coolidge's face, a bizarre idea suddenly popped up: If I wrote a biography about Coolidge and introduced the Coolidge in front of me to the people of later generations, would those people think that this person is the 30th President of the United States who is famous for his indifference in their minds?

Maybe. Maybe not.

If it is not enough, these are not important. What is important is that I see the true and sincere side of a president.

Importantly, he is Coolidge, which is enough.

"Calvin, do you know what are the two most proud things I have ever done so far?" I whispered at Coolidge.

"What?" Coolidge squeezed his eyes in a cunning manner.

"The first thing is to build a DreamWorks and transform Hollywood."

"What about the second one?"

I looked at Coolidge and smiled, "The second thing is to let the dignified American president be my chief adviser."

Hahahaha. There was another burst of laughter on the balcony.

Rumble!
