Perhaps because of such a film, Hughes thought he had become the most famous film producer. Therefore, Hughes' interest turned to life. When Hughes kept breaking flight records, a large number of aviation and aerospace experts gathered around him. The first few people's workshops became Hughes Aircraft Company.
Next, Hughes Aircraft Company got out of control and became the main supplier of the U.S. military during World War II. Later, it became one of the main suppliers of the air force together with aircraft and missiles.
Naturally, Hughes also realized the real initial flying of the fastest plane in human history, but the biggest one has not yet been realized. Later, Hughes thought of the dream of the largest aircraft and designed the kh1 seaplane project.
At that time, the single wing of the aircraft was 48 meters long and the fuselage was nearly 100 meters long. How could such a huge thing fly? At that time, many people thought that it could not fly at all. As a result, Hughes flew the wooden plane on the sea, then flew steadily to the sky, and then landed safely.
Although he only flew at an altitude of more than 20 meters at that time, after shooting, the whole American Empire became crazy again. Hughes became a hero of the American Empire again after his fastest flight record and global voyage. After that, the wooden plane was immediately demolished and became a museum decoration.
In this way, Hughes completed his first third dream: driving the fastest and largest plane in human history.
……
Similarly, Hughes suffered a lot for his dream. His heart shifted, his ribs, collarbone and skull were broken, disfigured and burned.
Many people don't understand why Hughes did this. A good billionaire is inappropriate, but he is keen to die. When people say he's crazy, Hughes answers like this. I'm not a sick millionaire. I'm a billionaire.
In 46 years, Hughes was worth more than $1 billion. He was the first rich man in the world with a value of more than $1 billion. By the 1950s, his value had reached $2.5 billion, equivalent to nearly $100 billion now. Gates and Ma Yun were going to eat ash behind him.
This is really a true portrayal of dreams into reality. Therefore, we can say that 'dreams are the greatest wealth', which still has a certain truth.
......
What Hughes is most fond of talking about is his romantic life. He is known as "sleeping all the female stars in Hollywood at that time". It is said that he has 164 star girlfriends. Hughes also has a title called "the greatest lecherous in the world" and "only likes Hollywood female stars".
Rich, famous and talented, Hughes also has a place that people are particularly jealous of. He is very handsome, with a height of 1.93 meters. Compared with Li Feng, such a person is naturally surrounded by all kinds of beautiful women.
In his time, Hughes spent countless money on women. He used to associate with more than 80 Hollywood girls at the same time. At that time, almost all Hollywood actresses had an affair with him. I don't believe you can make people drool if you watch a few:
For example, EVA Gardner is considered to be the most beautiful and sexy actress in the United States in the 1940s; Katherine Hepburn, a treasure of American art; Jane Russell, Hollywood legend; Ingrid Bergman, the fourth greatest actress in a century; Betty Davis, the greatest screen legendary actress in a century, ranked second; Haveland, who has won two Oscars, is one of the few "double champions" in history; Rita Hayworth, known as the American God of love; Susan Hayward, one of the greatest actresses in American cinema, etc.
The only exception at that time may be Elizabeth Taylor. It is said that Hughes directly found Taylor's mother and said to her, "I want to marry your daughter. If this can be done, I'll give you $1 million."
Taylor's mother was even more arrogant. She directly replied, "before tax or after tax", and then said that Taylor firmly opposed it. In the end, she didn't get married.
Of course, his influence in Hollywood is the key to make him call the wind and rain in Hollywood. He is the boss of lightning China Film Company and universal film company, two of the eight largest in early Hollywood, just like Li Feng today.
……
Looking at all this, everyone thinks Hughes should be a winner in life. Most people will envy his life. However, as the saying goes, "misfortunes and blessings depend on each other", Hughes's life is as miserable as he is lucky.
He said that his luck was everything he had: handsome appearance, countless wealth, talent and fame, and sleeping all over Hollywood.
To say that he is miserable means that everything about Hughes really feels too easy. He can be satisfied with everything he wants. In the end, he finds that there is nothing he can't get in the world. What's the meaning of life? This emptiness can knock everyone down.
The premature death of his parents also plunged him into extreme pain. He could only cheer up by drinking, women and drugs. No one has seen Howard Hughes since the 1960s. It is said that he lives in seclusion at home and suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
He can't wear clothes because his skin hurts even if he comes into contact with clothes. The housekeeper said that he uses napkins for clothes and napkin boxes for shoes. He watches TV and movies at home every day. TV is that they spend money to buy a TV station. If they want to watch any TV, they can call the TV station directly.
He only cuts his hair and nails once a year, likes to pee in the milk bottle, does not have physical contact with anyone, injects cocaine for a long time, and forces himself to take notes; Because of insomnia, he also bought several local TV stations so that he could watch the programs he wanted in the early morning.
In April 1976, the billionaire with a legendary life died on the plane on his way to the hospital. At the time of death, the 1.93-meter-old man was only 42 kg and had four broken needles on his arm. People can't believe that this was once handsome Howard Hughes.
……
Throughout Hughes' life, in Li Feng's view, it fully explains the meaning of the sentence "money is caprice". At the same time, while being willful, he can seize the opportunity to realize the growth of wealth, which is Howard Hughes's ability.
Therefore, dreams still have to exist. If they come true, you may become a legend like Howard Hughes.
The more he knew about the niucha character, the more interested Li Feng was. His open life was a little worse than himself. Li Feng said in his heart, "I really wish I could meet you."
However, after understanding his life, Li Feng can only feel it in his heart. Moreover, although this big man has a large group of women in his life, he has no descendants. It's a pity that the Hughes family has been a queen since he died.
Before his death, Hughes established the Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute, which inherited his last legacy. Finally, in the 1980s, the Institute sold Hughes to General Electric.
At that time, it sold for more than $5 billion. After that, the medical research institute became the second largest medical research center in the world and a holy land of medicine. There were more than a dozen Nobel laureates and nearly $20 billion in assets under management.
Today, Hughes' aircraft company has become a subsidiary of Li Feng. Although it is mainly engaged in aviation and aerospace, this is the core business of Hughes, including missiles, satellites and so on. It is simply synonymous with high technology.
After visiting Hughes laboratory, I went to the manufacturing plant of Hughes Aircraft Company, including satellites and missiles. These things are still under construction, which makes Li Feng's steamed stuffed bun gain insight again.
