In Los Angeles, the Coconut Grove Embassy Hotel, the 15th Academy Awards Ceremony was held here, and this hotel was once the venue for the 12th Academy Awards Ceremony.

The Academy Awards ceremony has a fixed location. The previous 14th Academy Awards ceremony was mostly held at the Biltmore Bowl Hotel in Los Angeles. Later, as the Academy Awards became more and more important, the scale of the Academy Awards was also getting bigger and bigger. Ordinary hotels could no longer host the Academy Awards ceremony. Therefore, the 22nd Academy Awards ceremony was moved to the Thunderbolt Hua Pantarius Theater. At the 33rd session, it was changed to the Santa Monica Citizen Hall. The 41st session started to simply go to the larger Los Angeles Music Center. Today, the Academy Awards ceremony was at the Dolby Theater with 3,400 seats. According to the contract signed, the Academy Awards ceremony will be held at the Dolby Theater until 2033.

The Oscars in the 1940s were held in the hotel auditorium, and the entire award ceremony was more like a grand cocktail party. The guests wore dresses, held champagne, shuttled between the tables, talked and sang to each other. Only when the award ceremony began would everyone officially sit and wait for the scene of the award announcement.

Chen Qiang knew few people in the film and television industry, so he simply found a place to sit down and taste the champagne in his hand. However, Esther, the great beauty, was surrounded by people like stars.

Everyone who came to the scene had already guessed that Esther had a great chance of winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress. As a young actor, he would win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the first time as a female lead. Such results were enough to make Esther a newcomer among Hollywood actresses. What's more, behind Esther, Chen Qiang, the big financial backer. Such an actress with a backstage will naturally make many people deliberately please her. These filmmakers are counting on Esther to support her in the future!

Chen Qiang originally wanted to wait quietly until the award ceremony officially began, but he didn't expect that he could not be quiet at all. After he sat down for less than thirty seconds, someone came over with a smile.

The one who came was a Hollywood producer. He exchanged greetings with Chen Qiang for a long time, and it was obvious that he was looking for an opportunity to get closer to Chen Qiang.

Afterwards, Hollywood directors, screenwriters and even actors followed one after another, and followed this opportunity to approach Chen Qiang. Two screenwriters even talked to Chen Qiang about their next scripts, implying that they hoped Chen Qiang could invest, and several Hollywood actresses kept glaring at Chen Qiang. If Chen Qiang had not brought his female companion to him today, there would probably be female stars who would directly give Chen Qiang a hotel room card.

Chen Qiang is a millionaire after all. If such rich people appear in Hollywood, there will naturally be many people licking them. The millionaires of this era are equivalent to the billionaires who are worth more than one billionaires in later generations. This kind of rich man is enough to make the handsome men and beautiful women who are scattered in Hollywood willingly offer their butts.

You read that right, not only beauties, but also handsome men!

Chen Qiang kept dealing with those who wanted to make friends with him. Gradually, he could no longer remember who he had just met.

"Mr. Chen!" Another voice sounded, and a middle-aged man in his fifties appeared in front of him. There was a young man about 25 years old behind the middle-aged man. This young man made Chen Qiang feel familiar.

Chen Qiang raised his wine glass symbolically, and then said, "Hello, sir, may I ask?"

"My name is Joseph Kennedy." The other party spoke.

"So you are Mr. Kennedy, and you have long been famous!" Chen Qiang said immediately.

Chen Qiang said this sentence "I have long admired the name of great name", which is not a polite word, he has really heard of Joseph Kennedy's name.

When Louis Mayer asked Chen Qiang for investment, he mentioned that Joseph Kennedy, the old man did not want MGM to invest in "Mrs. Minnifer". At that time, Chen Qiang had some understanding of Joseph Kennedy.

Joseph Kennedy, the old man served as the US ambassador to the UK, which is an extremely important position in the US diplomatic system, and is almost second only to the foreign minister. However, because Joseph Kennedy's policy of surrendering to Germany was disagree with President Roosevelt's political views, Joseph Kennedy was removed from his official position and was never appointed by President Roosevelt again.

However, Joseph Kennedy, the old man, was not willing to leave the political stage. While operating the family industry, he trained his son to enter politics, and finally established the famous "Kennedy Family".

After learning about the identity of Joseph Kennedy, Chen Qiang immediately guessed that the identity of the young man in his twenties behind Kennedy was John Kennedy, the 35th US President.

In fact, the Kennedy brothers still look a little similar, but as the future president of the United States, the second son John Kennedy has the most circulated photos and is the most recognizable, so Chen Qiang still recognizes this young man as John Kennedy when he was young.

Sure enough, Joseph Kennedy, the old man said, "This is my son John. He is now serving in the US Navy and serving as the captain of a torpedo ship. He will go to the Solomon Islands next month to fight the Japanese."

"Mr. Kennedy is so young and promising." Chen Qiang said sincerely.

Chen Qiang knew that this young man was the future president of the United States. Although the final outcome was a pity, he would definitely not be an ordinary person to become the president of the United States. When Chen Qiang met, he was sincerely praising Kennedy.

However, the future US president was a little surprised because he could feel that Chen Qiang's words "young and promising" were not the kind of verbal compliment at all, but a very sincere compliment.

"What's the situation? Is this Chinese really praising me? It's so strange! It seems that he really doesn't know how I became the captain." Kennedy said in his heart.

At this time, the focus of the Kennedy family was not the second son John Kennedy, but the eldest son Joseph Kennedy Jr. As a member of the US Air Force, Joseph Kennedy Jr., had already gone to the UK, and Joseph Kennedy Jr., also paved the way for the future for the eldest son. When the war ended, Joseph Kennedy Jr. would take advantage of the influence of the old Kennedy to participate in the US House of Representatives elections and officially enter the political arena. The starting point of the members of Congress is definitely very high in politics.

However, things went against my wishes. Joseph Kennedy Jr. died in Europe in 1944. The mission he was going to bomb the German V1 missile launch base.

After Joseph Kennedy Jr. died in battle, the second son John Kennedy became the hope of the family. It was not until then that the old Kennedy began to formally train John Kennedy, and the important task of the entire Kennedy family was also placed on him. In the end, John Kennedy lived up to expectations and successfully elected the President of the United States.

When he was young, John Kennedy was not so outstanding, and he was frail and sickly. He suffered from malignant scarlet fever at the age of three and was later diagnosed with Edison's disease. At the age of 18, he applied for Princeton University, but was rejected by Princeton University. He was still reliant on his connections with the old Kennedy, and was finally admitted to Princeton University. Later, Kennedy went to Haval University to study, which was also thanks to the old Kennedy's efforts. After all, Kennedy was already the US ambassador to the UK at that time, and he had great power. It was normal for Harvard University to open a backdoor to Kennedy.

Kennedy was recruited into the army in 1940, but the physical examination failed. Kennedy was recruited at that time. The US Army was recruited to the army. Compared with the Navy or Air Force, the US Army had relatively low physical requirements. But even so, Kennedy was still not passed, which shows that his physical fitness was really not good.

Fortunately, Kennedy has a good father. Although his personal abilities are not good, he can compete with his father! When Kennedy was the ambassador of the United States to the United Kingdom, his naval officer was named Allen Kirk. After Allen Kirk returned to China, he served as the director of the Privileged Naval Intelligence Agency in Washington. With the help of Allen Kirk, Kennedy entered the Naval Office Reserve School. After a few months of gilding in the school, he became the second lieutenant of the Navy after graduation, and soon became the captain of a torpedo ship.

At that time, the US and the Japanese were fighting fiercely in the South Pacific. In several battles near the Solomon Islands, both sides even had aircraft carriers sunk, and the losses of other small ships were even greater. At this time, Kennedy received a task to go to Florida and carry out patrol missions in the Panama Canal. This was definitely the safest task of the US Navy. It was not until the Battle of Guadalcanal that Kennedy was sent to the South Pacific.

On the South Pacific battlefield, Kennedy's torpedo boat was smashed into two pieces by a Japanese destroyer. Then Kennedy swam to an isolated island, and was later rescued by nearby islanders, saving his life. He then returned to the United States on the grounds of recovering from his injuries and retired. However, the captain who was sunk by the crew members finally saved his life and was called "brave" by the American media. Kennedy also became a news figure in the headlines of major newspapers, and was awarded many medals such as the Purple Heart Medal of World War II, the Asian-Pacific Battle Medal, the World War II Victory Memorial, the Navy Medal and the Marine Corps Medal. The ship can still get a medal if it is not the operation of Old Kennedy, no ghost will believe it!

Judging from this life experience, John Kennedy is really not as good as his brother Joseph Kennedy Jr. It can be said that Kennedy was like a second-generation official who had no ability, relying on his father's power, and was covered in gold everywhere. Compared with that, his brother is really powerful. He can not only join the Air Force, but also perform tasks of bombing V1 missiles at the level. You must know that only the best pilots of the US military are qualified to complete such tasks.

If Joseph Kennedy Jr. hadn't died in the battle, it wouldn't be John Kennedy's turn to appear, and John Kennedy, who doesn't have to take on the heavy responsibility of the family, would definitely become a playboy, flirting with girls everywhere and overdrawing kidney function. After all, Kennedy was indeed a corruption in his life and had many romantic scandals. Among his lovers was not only the famous sexy star, but also the White House intern, the Mafia socialite, the first lady's press secretary, ****, etc.

Speaking of which, the US president and White House interns seem to be more likely to get together.

At this time, John Kennedy had finished patrolling the Panama Canal and was about to go to the South Pacific. However, anyone who knows the Kennedy family knows that the second son is going to gilt, and no one would think that John Kennedy was really young and promising to be the captain.

John Kennedy also knew that he could achieve his current status and achievements by competing with his father. Those who compliment him on weekdays were extremely hypocritical. Now that he finally met Chen Qiang, a person who was not good at it, instantly increased John Kennedy's confidence.

Old Kennedy seemed to see that his son had a good impression of Chen Qiang, so he spoke, "You two are about the same age and must have a common topic. You can talk slowly, and I, the old man, will not get involved."

...

As Chen Qiang talked with the future US president, he talked about women's affairs. This topic was brought up by Kennedy. This guy is really romantic. I guess during this period in Los Angeles, he has been harming those Hollywood female stars a lot.

Then the two talked about other topics.

"Chan, are you interested in art?" Kennedy asked.

"Are you referring to those works of art? Oil paintings, sculptures, or architecture?" Chen Qiang asked.

"All you said," Kennedy lowered his voice and continued: "Three days later, there was an art exhibition in Los Angeles, hosted by the British. There were many artworks plundered by the British Empire around the world."

"There should be many treasures of artworks that the British have plundered around the world, and it is indeed worth seeing." Chen Qiang said then.

Kennedy smiled mysteriously and continued: "Although this time is an art exhibition, there are also sales and auctions. I know you are a millionaire. If you are interested in these precious art works, you might as well go and have a look! I know the organizers of this art exhibition. If you value it, I can ask them to give you a discount."

Kennedy's mysterious appearance made Chen Qiang sensitively realize that things might not be that simple. So he picked up the wine glass, drank a glass of wine with Kennedy, and then asked: "This art exhibition should not be that simple. Is it said that what is to be exhibited is not ordinary artworks, but precious cultural relics?"

"Haha, just be sure you understand!" Kennedy said with a smile.

"This is equivalent to selling cultural relics. Will there be trouble?" Chen Qiang asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, there will be no trouble." Kennedy looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this side. Then he continued in a very low voice: "The seller behind this art exhibition is actually the British government. Since the war has been going on, the finances in the UK have become a little tight. They plan to sell some things to maintain the war!"
