Chapter 873 Farce Chapter 874 Contest with Roosevelt(2/2)
The economic crisis has put the United States into darkness, and the United States has entered darkness in an instant. For the people, this is a time of disaster, but for politicians, it is an excellent time to gain political capital. Therefore, just look through the newspaper for a year and you can see all kinds of faces of politicians.
Some people, such as Franklin Roosevelt, give speeches everywhere and encourage the people everywhere, but rarely do anything practical. It is good. With his eloquence and his incitement ability, many people have been fooled by him, but compared with Herbert Hoover, who is down-to-earth and hardworking, it is obvious which one the people prefer.
I think if the person who died now was not Herbert Hoover but Franklin Roosevelt, this would never have happened in Los Angeles.
For a while, I even regretted that I had come up with a new policy idea and handed over the burden to Hoover. Especially after Hoover's death, I felt that if I didn't do this, Hoover would definitely live to 90 years old. But now, I am very glad that I did this. I am glad that Hoover received the respect that should belong to him, and I am glad that this honest and rich man could get the honor he deserved.
Two days later, the Hooverland State funeral was held on the back mountain of DreamWorks. This type of funeral was just staged here a few months ago. The same sadness and solemnity triggered different thoughts. At the funeral, Vice President Brian Rumant delivered a speech on behalf of the federal government, and in his speech, he made a public evaluation of Herbert Hoover's life.
"He may not be the president with the best eloquence of the United States, perhaps not the most talented president of the United States, not the most handsome president of the United States, not the most thoughtful president, but he is indeed the most diligent and down-to-earth president. He does not have much sweet talk. He only sweat. He drags the heavy carriage of the United States, dragging the heavy carriage of the United States. Now, the horse has left, but it leaves us with light like another horse."
"A few months ago, President Hoover and I attended the state funeral of canned food. After the funeral, we flew back to Washington. For several hours on the plane, he didn't say a word. When the plane arrived over Washington, he suddenly turned his face and said to me: Brian, I want to die like canned food, devote myself to it, and be vigorous. At that time, I thought he was talking and playing, but now it seems that this belief has been deeply buried in his heart."
"Today is the state funeral day for the 31st President of the United States. From then on, a generation of heroic souls will be buried underground. But his name will remain in our hearts forever."
Brian Rutman is an honest man, and his speech is also solid, but these simple and unpretentious evaluations have won the public's shouts and fully expressed the public's voice. For me, his evaluation of Herbert Hoover is more accurate than anyone else.
Hoover's grave was next to the can, a man who decided to devote himself to the work as he was canned. Finally, he stayed with his favorite horse as he wished. Until this time, everyone understood why Hoover in his will told others to bury himself in the back mountain of DreamWorks.
After the funeral in Hoover, the attendees received a notice that no one expected in advance: Vice President Brian Rutman took over Hoover's seat and became the new US president after the funeral.
This news surprised many people, but it was indeed reasonable to think about it.
It is unexpected because the US Constitution stipulates that once the president dies in office, his position will be replaced by the vice president. Brian Rutman has this power, and there are many precedents. Others say that Coolidge replaces Harding, who died in office, and becomes president. However, the oath of inauguration of the vice president requires a series of procedures. Generally speaking, the inauguration ceremony is very serious. People like Rutman who swore in at the funeral of the former president are unique in the American history of one or two hundred years.
So, as expected, for Brian Rutman, there is obviously no better time than taking the oath of office at this moment. At this moment, the attention of the crowd, the Americans are excited at this moment, and at this moment, it is more acceptable to Herbert Hoover stay in the darkness.
"I, Brian Rutman, solemnly swear before God, that I will travel faithfully to the duties of the President of the United States, to preserve and protect and defend the Constitution of the United States, and to devote myself to it, and to flourish!"
When Brian Rutman was sworn in under the guidance of the Chief Justice, the people burst into cheers with enthusiasm.
"Behind me, on that hill stands canned food and Herbert's dream, a dream related to hope that allows us and our descendants to move forward in a meaningless spirit!"
"Before me is the land of the motherland we deeply care about, the vast and boundless sea! We grow here, and we have the confidence to make our descendants live better through our efforts! We will live forever and eternal!"
Brian Rutman was so excited that he shed tears at his simple but solemn inauguration. This generous person received overwhelming applause from the public at this moment. As Hoover's vice president, people also transferred their respect and love for Hoover to him. In the subsequent speech, Brian Rutman announced that he would unswervingly implement Hoover's new policy policy during his lifetime. During his future term, he would improve the new policy step by step until he led the American people out of the haze.
After the inauguration ceremony, Brian Rutman became the new president of the United States, and the people had endless high hopes and support for him.
The inauguration ceremony lasted until after 5 p.m. After that, a small local cocktail party was held in the Los Angeles city government. Brian Rutman was the host of the cocktail party, and many government officials and celebrities attended the Hoover funeral attended.
"An era has passed." Coolidge held the wine glass and said a word full of vicissitudes.
After Hoover's funeral, everything seemed to return to peace. After experiencing grief, people should live as much as they should. Los Angeles and the entire United States have entered a busier life.
Hollywood is busier. Due to the Hoover funeral, all films of all films in this period were cancelled. After the funeral, major film companies organized their own premiere ceremony. The celebrities who attended the funeral naturally would not miss such a good opportunity, so Hollywood was noisy and lively.
DreamWorks is also very busy, busy with the premiere of "The Shawshank Redemption" by Munau. On the second day of the funeral, Franklin Roosevelt came to DreamWorks as agreed to the realization.
Franklin Roosevelt was in Hollywood for the first time and also at DreamWorks. Although Carrey Rockefeller, who was with him, had been in Hollywood for so many years, he also entered the courtyard of DreamWorks Film Company for the first time.
I personally accompanied Roosevelt to visit the headquarters of DreamWorks Film Company, Disney's No. 4 and Lockett TV Station. I spent most of the day before finally returning to my office.
"Mr. Corleon, it's better to see it at first sight than hearing it. In the past, I always heard people say how spectacular and brilliant DreamWorks are and how vibrant it is. But after seeing it with my own eyes, I realized that DreamWorks is more fascinating than those rumors. You are so amazing! Great!" Franklin Roosevelt sighed to DreamWorks inwardly.
Carrey Rockefeller next to him didn't say a word, his face calmed down.
"Mr. Corleon, I don't know what you plan in the future?" After the praise, Roosevelt suddenly said a meaningful sentence.
On the surface, he meant to ask DreamWorks what plans were, but in fact, he was asking me what plans were after Herbert Hoover's death.
In his opinion, with Hoover's death, DreamWorks undoubtedly lost its backer, and himself seemed to think that the future president would definitely be his.
He was a temptation, and even a warning.
I think the reason why he proposed to come to DreamWorks was just an excuse. The real purpose was to test my voice and to test whether there would be any turning point for the Rockettec consortium after losing the big tree of Hoover.
Franklin Roosevelt knows more than anyone that even if Hoover is defeated, the Lockettrek consortium is unlikely to conquer. On the way to march towards the president, although Roosevelt had an advantage that others could not match, he knew that if he worked against DreamWorks, even if he realized his dream, he would have extremely twists and turns and would pay a heavy price. No one else said that, he had a deep understanding of his previous leader Alfred Smith. How could Alfred Smith be at the peak of his time? But what was the result? Because I caught a handle on him and was disgraced because of the movie "Dance with the Wolf".
Now that the Lockettrek consortium has lost its backer in politics, and the Republican Party has not been able to compete with Roosevelt for the challenger. This is the most suitable moment for Roosevelt to win over and soften. If he can win over the Lockettrek consortium, wouldn’t it be more beneficial than fighting with the Lockettrek consortium? After all, the Lockettrek consortium has both strong economic strength and terrifying propaganda machine, which are all needed by Roosevelt.
"Mr. Roosevelt, what are the plans for DreamWorks? Let's continue making movies." I smiled.
I'm a bitch, I'm sloppy with me? Don't I know how to pretend to be stupid?
Roosevelt was stunned for a moment, and understood that if he didn't explain it clearly, I would definitely continue to circumvent him.
"Mr. Corleon, I think you may have misunderstood what I mean. I am not asking you about DreamWorks' future business plans, but about your future prospects? You know. You are facing the biggest crisis now." Roosevelt licked his lips, was a little excited, squinted, and said to me with some flattery: "Mr. Corleon, I am a kind person and a person who likes to make friends. I think if everyone in this world can be friends, there will be no conflict. Some help each other, prosperity, and a beautiful life. What do you think?"
Puchi!
Before I could speak, Gans next to me laughed.
"Mr. Roosevelt, it is impossible for tigers and black bears to become friends, and it is impossible for vultures and falcons to become friends." Gans's words made me secretly applaud.
Roosevelt smiled awkwardly and turned his eyes to me. He knew that he was in DreamWorks. I was just talking about it.
I picked up the cup, drank a cup of tea slowly, and said, "Mr. Roosevelt, I'll tell you a story."
"Please tell me." Roosevelt looked at his ears.
"There is a lion living on a plain. The lion will catch its prey every day. Next to it is a group of hyenas. When the lion is trapped or injured, the group of hyenas will come over to pick up some bargains, secretly eat or bark at the lion. But the lion is always a lion, and the hyenas will always be hyenas. The hyenas steal some food or bark at the lion. The lion may not pay much attention to him, and he is not in the mood. But if the hyenas bite the lion or attack the lion, the lion will tear them one by one until the last one."
I looked at Roosevelt, squinted my eyes and smiled.
Cleverly Roosevelt naturally understood what I mean: The Lockettrek consortium is undoubtedly against him now, but if he comes to the door, we will never give up. At worst, we will be able to break up.
Roosevelt knew this consequence more than anyone else.
But it can be seen that this guy is very unwilling to accept that he has such a good opportunity and cannot touch my heart and bring the Lockettke consortium over.
"Mr. Corleon, I think you may not have been to Africa, so you don't know the relationship between a hyena and a lion. For a lion, a hyena is obviously not his opponent, but if it were a group of hyena, the one that was torn to pieces would be the lion. Do you understand that hyena is the best animal in the world who is good at launching group attacks." Roosevelt seemed to me to compare them to hyena.
Hahahaha. Coolidge, who has never spoken, was born with a smile.
"Mr. Roosevelt, don't forget that there will be no one lion on the prairie. There are a group of lions there. And it is a group of extremely united lions." Coolidge said as he looked at a poster on the wall purposefully.
The poster was made when the Red Dragon League collaborated with the factory logo of MGM, Paramount, and Warner Bros.
This made Roosevelt and Carrey Rockefeller show an unhappy but helpless expression at the same time. Although Hoover is gone, the two sides are evenly matched. They have the Rockefeller Consortium, ours have the Rockefeller Consortium, and the Hollywood Red Dragon Major League, they have the Democratic Party, we have the Republican Party, and although Roosevelt has a future political advantage, don't forget that the current US president is not him, but Republican Brian Rutman.
Dogs bite wolves, and they are afraid of both of them. This is the best portrayal of the situation between us.
"By the way, I almost forgot, Mr. Corleon, I brought some gifts this time." Seeing that the atmosphere was a little nervous, Roosevelt changed into a smile and turned around and used a color on Carrey Rockefeller.
Carey Rockefeller got up and went out, and soon after, he walked into the room with his two men. They carried them into several very beautiful boxes.
"Mr. Corleon, these gifts are from my three children. They are all small things." Franklin Roosevelt signaled to open the boxes.
When the box was opened, there were three small car models made of pure gold. The model was very exquisite, it was simply a miniature version of the real car, and there were also many gems and diamonds inlaid on the car. As soon as it was opened, it suddenly shone in the room.
Three such cars can't be taken down without hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Everyone in the room was attracted by these three gold cars, but Coolidge frowned.
Roosevelt, a bitch, told me very clearly that he already knew the affairs of my three sons and that I married five women. He also knew that this matter would undoubtedly become a handle for me to fall into his hands.
Rather than saying that he is giving gifts, he is threatening nakedly.
It's not soft, but it's finally hard.
I stood up, walked to the three-liang gold cart, picked up one and touched it hard, and laughed.
"Mr. Corleon thinks this car is not good?" Carrey Rockefeller said sarcastically.
The wool comes from the sheep. Such a gold cart would definitely not be made by Roosevelt himself, but it definitely comes from the Rockefeller Consortium's pocket.
I shook my head: "Mr. Rockefeller, I don't think of this car. In fact, I have never seen such a luxury item. The reason why I laugh is because I haven't given birth to a few more sons? In that case, can I collect more gold cars soon?"
Ha ha ha ha.
My words made the DreamWorks people in the office burst into laughter, and amid this laughter, the DreamWorks people were proud.
Damn, what I hate most in my life is that others threaten me.
"Gans, it's a coincidence that I was worried about what gifts I bought for my three sons yesterday. No matter what kind of toys it is in their hands, it will definitely be broken if it is in their hands for a day. Haha, now, there are fun but indiscriminate things." I whispered to Gansnu. Gans smiled and carried the three gold cars that were almost hundreds of thousands of dollars into the room inside.
Carrey Rockefeller opened his eyes wide, and that one called heartache.
Roosevelt was even more stunned.
Originally, they thought that if I chose to cooperate with them, this thing would not be given for free, and if I refused to cooperate, I would not accept this gift.
In fact, I am very thick-skinned and I can accept gifts. I want to cooperate with you, but I don’t have any.
This time, they obviously lost their wife and their soldiers.
Chapter completed!
