Chapter 397

Wesley sat on the latest Ford product the next day, accompanied by a driver, a bodyguard and a Chinese. He was a comprador of a foreign firm, Xu Ming, who was proficient in English.

"Mr. Gibson, I wonder where you want to see?" Xu Ming asked.

"Of course, it's a famous place. It's a good place, especially the geographical location. Once the development of power is started, it will certainly shock the world, but the current situation is not good!" Wesley sighed. It is also called the magic capital. Many people in later generations want to live here, and the competition is extremely fierce.

"Yes, the domestic mess is not as good as your United States." Xu Ming, as a comprador, must say something to please, but he said it to different objects. Wesley frowned. Then he was helpless and said nothing directly.

Xu Ming didn't understand. Was he wrong? However, he did not dare to say more now. He was obviously in a bad mood. The car was driving on the streets of old Shanghai. Wesley observed the traces of history. For him, these are history.

Although Wesley changed the memory of the manager of the foreign firm, he didn't delay things. He asked the director of the new world film company to look for Ruan Lingyu. Today, the director received a notice from the manager that he had met a girl who was very good-looking and energetic. She was very suitable to be a heroine. You arrange an encounter, and then sign in to the company.

Chinese films have started, but they are still silent films. After the acquisition of this film company, they directly obtained the latest audio film equipment and films, which made them happy, and the company also established several cinemas in Shanghai.

However, no work has been published yet. The director is preparing. Unexpectedly, he has received this job. He is not dissatisfied. Let's see the people first. When he met Ruan Lingyu, he fell in love with the girl at a glance. He thought that the manager of the foreign firm had a good eye, so he went directly to talk and invited Ruan Lingyu to a cafe in the French concession.

"Miss Ruan, you are very in line with the image of the heroine in my film. I wonder if you intend to engage in the film industry?" the director asked.

Ruan Lingyu is now living in a difficult life. Of course, she is happy to have a job in front of her. Moreover, it is the kind of job that appears on the screen. It is undoubtedly yearning for a 16-year-old girl.

"I'd love to, but I... Can't perform!" Ruan Lingyu said uneasily.

"It doesn't matter. Now our country's films have just started. Most film companies are still silent films. We can't afford high-priced audio equipment. However, our company was acquired by a foreign firm in the United States, obtained the latest audio equipment and film, and built several cinemas. It is definitely the best and most luxurious. This is your opportunity."

The two hit it off and directly talked about the contract, but the director didn't have much authority. He directly asked Ruan Lingyu about the treatment she needed, and then went back to ask about her experience, but he didn't have a problem when he wanted to come.

At this time, many people came into the coffee shop. They also came to drink coffee. Although they were wearing suits, they looked like serious people. They looked uncomfortable when wearing suits on them.

"Chico, why don't we drink this? Why don't we go to the casino to play!" the people who came in were led by a man, and the people around him said to him.

"What do you know? This is the French concession. Only people with status can live here. There are the most foreigners here. We wear this to be people with status. Of course, people with status have to come for coffee."

"What Qige said is that you have knowledge, so let's try it?" someone nearby quickly slipped away.

These people sat down and shouted "waiter, coffee" in their mouth. Foreigners who can't understand feel that they are too noisy. They understand that Chinese laugh at their ignorance. These people really haven't seen coffee, and they are not from Shanghai.

Japan was suppressed by the United States and robbed the market with Americans in China, but they had no advantage. Wesley's technology exploded them. At the same time, the United States got the favor of China during World War I. the goods were good and cheap, and competed for a lot of markets. Even the British were not rivals. But I'm not a thief. I'm going to contact the last Emperor today.

These people who came here today are the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty who received spy training. When they first arrived in Shanghai, everyone cut their whip and put on their suits. Today, they are ready to come out and have a look. They directly came to the French concession.

The owner of the coffee shop doesn't know these people, and the boss is Chinese. If the coffee shop was opened by foreigners, it would have seen off customers long ago. After all, foreigners are tough in China in this era. After the coffee came up, these people drank it for the first time, and then sprayed it directly, "what's the smell of bird shit?"

Ruan Lingyu heard their shouts, "poop pee" a vocal voice. She had noticed that her strange brother immediately stood up, "why? Chicks despise our brothers?"

"No... No." Ruan Lingyu was startled and hurriedly explained.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an employee of our film company. Please forgive me if you offend me. I'll take today's coffee." the director quickly stood up and made a round.

"What are you? We Qige can't afford coffee. Why? You must give me an explanation today, or it won't be over." the minions nearby quickly coaxed, and they saw Qige's purpose.

The director is well-informed and naturally knows that these people are upset and kind. He hurriedly said, "I'm the director of the 'new world' film company. We're an American company. This lady is the heroine personally named by the manager of our foreign firm. Please give face." move out the Americans and press each other.

Chico hesitated when he heard about the American company, but his little brothers didn't care much. They whispered in Chico's ear, "Chico, Japan. I don't deal with the Americans, do we..."

Chico is right. What are we afraid of? Anyway, I don't deal with the Americans. It's good to give the new master a little gift.

"What American, scare me? Our old and young men were also the number one in the capital at the beginning. This little girl took a fancy to him. I'll go back with him today, and I'll let her go back tomorrow." after that, he took people out. The owner of the coffee shop has called and called the patrol room directly. These people are obviously not from the Green Gang.

The French concession is Huang Jinrong's territory. Naturally, the boss knows that Huang Jinrong must take care of it. Someone has stepped on it.
