Economic Crisis

Ruan Ling's first movie took half a year to shoot. In order to improve and hone her acting skills, it was later released in major cinemas and theaters in Shanghai, followed by good reviews.

The major newspapers and media kept praising it. Then, the second movie started filming. There was still no time requirement. It was only filmed once every six months. The first movie was always screened. There were too few movies in this era and there was too little entertainment. Therefore, it was normal for a movie to be screened for six months. In addition, there were some other movies. However, many people came to watch it. Some people would watch it dozens of times every six months.

By the end of 1927, Ruan Ling had made a total of five movies. The speed of the Peacekeeping Universe was incomparable, but the quality was too high. Whether it was the equipment for filming or the screening equipment, Gibson's foreign investment in the cinema made money, and Ruan Ling became famous, very famous.

However, Ruan Ling left for the United States next, which made the fans very sad. Ruan Ling went to get married to Wesley Gibson, the commander-in-chief of the United States Air Force. This made the fans sad and happy for her at the same time. The matter between the two of them was published in the newspaper controlled by Gibson Bank.

For a moment, the atmosphere of romance filled the old Shanghai. Then, Ruan Ling said that she would not give up on the movie. She would film a better movie for the fans and then set off directly.

Wesley was married to a Chinese man, which made the girls in America very sad. But everyone loved to read about their love story, and Wesley had made the story himself. The hero saves the damsel in distress and gets the damsel in distress. This was not just a Chinese routine. The West liked it even more. They liked heroes.

Wesley personally went to Los Angeles to pick up the ship, and then took a plane from G Group's subsidiary airline back to New York. There was Wesley's newly built manor villa in the Manhattan area, and he knew that the land here would be valuable in the future. Wesley, of course, made the first move. The company's headquarters building and his home were both located here, and he bought a lot of land.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?" Wesley built this place by imitating Marvel Universe's villa, and it was even bigger. Anyway, the land price is cheap now, and there is no harm in building more.

"So big?" Ruan Ling was surprised by the size of the place.

The next step was to prepare for the wedding. It was very simple for foreigners to get married. They would book a church, send an invitation, and prepare a hotel. Someone would naturally do these things for him.

The wedding was grand and the people who attended were all famous. Wesley was officially married in this universe. Although he was far from his family, Wesley had always been happy and kept his thoughts to himself.

It was Wesley's first time living a married life. He did not know how to get through a marriage, but Ruan Ling was very used to it. She got up early every morning to prepare breakfast and arrange for the servants to tidy up the villa. She did it in an orderly manner, and Wesley enjoyed it in peace.

Wesley had set up a film company that specialized in shooting movies for Ruan Ling. The two of them separated when they were working and gathered together after work. There were no fluctuations in life, but the arrival of the economic crisis had cast a shadow over the United States.

This economic crisis did not begin in the United States, but in the stock market in London, England. Wesley was the instigator. Wesley knew that his own strength could not compete with the entire capital economy, so he chose to ignite this economic crisis in England and then spread it around the world.

Although Wall Street has gradually replaced the position of the British London financial system in the world, it has not completely replaced it yet. Therefore, as soon as the UK stock market collapsed, it immediately began to spread to the world.

The United States could not avoid it either. Wesley was called to Washington in a hurry. He had a lot of say in such matters. As for the current president, Khufu, Wesley did not have a good impression of him. During his tenure, this man had implemented a policy to protect large capital and at the same time condoned Japan's aggression against China. He had also suppressed workers during the economic crisis.

Since Wesley took office, he had not participated in government actions. His reason was simple. Now that he was a soldier, he could only give military advice. After all, his identity was different. His current identity was too sensitive to participate in politics, and this reason was very powerful.

He still didn't say a word when he came to the White House, and no one else could do anything about it. Khufu was the conservative leader of the Republican Party, and Wesley knew that his suggestion might not be supported by him, so he simply didn't say anything.

After that, the economic crisis began to spread. A large number of factories closed down and workers lost their jobs. Wesley had no intention of being a savior. Instead, he used this opportunity to develop his business strength. First, he expanded the airline to the entire United States. Then, he set up a logistics company. Every state had its own car transport company. Acquiring farms, adopting the model of an agricultural company, adjusting the planting of crops, and selling agricultural products at a small profit. This made Wesley's reputation soar.

After acquiring a large number of factories and integrating them into a larger and more technical group model, others would lay off workers, and Wesley would recruit people. Naturally, he could choose the best and pay a very low salary at the same time, thanks to the large amount of capital Wesley had accumulated in the past.

After Wesley bought Hollywood, he bought Las Vegas again. There, he built a city and produced the raw materials he needed. The workers directly recruited the unemployed. All the money he had swept away in London was thrown here.

Later, Wesley invested in the National Railroad and laid the foundation for large-scale logistics in the future. He did so much, but it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket. The economic crisis lasted until 1933, and then Franklin Delano Roosevelt became president and began to adopt new economic policies.

However, the first thing he did when he took office was to call Wesley to Washington again. This time, Ruan Ling accompanied him. During the economic crisis that lasted for several years, Ruan Ling filmed movies and carried out fund-raising activities at the same time. She became very popular in the United States and became the number one celebrity of the Chinese. Her reputation was not even inferior to Wesley's. The light of the couple shone in the United States, and many Chinese groups often came to ask Ruan Ling for help.

However, Ruan Ling was not involved in politics. This was what Wesley had told her, so she was helping unemployed people and did not care about politics at all.

"General, it's a pleasure to meet you." Roosevelt took the initiative to hold out his hand, and Wesley naturally had to give him face. This President is indeed a great man of a generation and a worthy person.

"I'm also happy to meet you, Mr. President. This is my wife," Wesley said.

"Yes, I know. The beautiful lady is the angel of America. She saved a lot of people." Roosevelt invited Mr. and Mrs. Wesley to dinner while he and Wesley ate at the table and talked, asking Wesley's opinion from another angle.
