"I'm just staying in New York for a few days, and I'm going to Newfoundland next month." Alan Wilson said proudly, there is nothing a MILF can't handle.
"Then you go, what are you doing in New York?" Greta Garbo put on her clothes with a cold face, "You are here just to collect female stars? Just come here just for the sake of it?"
"That's not true, it's mainly just passing by." Alan Wilson lied without hesitation. The attitude of this silent film queen is really frustrating. "What's the difference between you and your competitor Katharine Hepburn? As for her,
Just following a married man and you are stuck in memories for a long time and you can't extricate yourself. Isn't that interesting?"
He found that the female stars of this era were really different from those of a few decades later. As for Katharine Hepburn, it was because she was a married man and never got married.
Greta Garbo is even more legendary. Her first love was the director of her country who discovered her. Later, because Hollywood used Greta Garbo to hype up the scandal, the director became old and eventually quit and passed away sadly, leaving the queen of silent films disheartened.
I feel cold and determined to be single for the rest of my life.
"None of your business!" Greta Garbo was poked in a sore spot, and her already melancholy face became even more indifferent, "It's not like you don't have a fiancée, and you provoke a forty-year-old woman every day, isn't it just for your vanity?
What?"
"Can you be reasonable? You were not like this when you were in New Delhi." Alan Wilson sighed. He didn't know what went wrong, but if there is a problem, it must be solved.
He also counted on Greta Garbo's clever mind to help him analyze what Americans liked so that they could suit their liking.
It would be best if this kind of thing could strengthen Newfoundland's status. In fact, Alan Wilson also had such an extravagant hope in his heart that Newfoundland would remain under British rule and not choose independence.
There are really not many places like Newfoundland that are loyal to the British Empire and have a small population and the cost of maintaining rule is easy. Moreover, the area is large, more than 400,000 square kilometers, while the British mainland only has more than 20
Thousands of square kilometers.
Returning to her serious look, Greta Garbo finally returned to normal first, "Newfoundland is an autonomous territory in the northeastern part of Canada?"
Seeing Ellen Wilson nod, Greta Garbo thought for a moment and said, "With such a small population, it is too difficult to start a business through work."
"That's right!" Alan Wilson strongly agreed. Chinese workers going to work could only solve a short-term problem. After all, Chinese workers could not live there permanently, and the residents of Newfoundland would not allow Chinese workers to settle there.
"Then you should think about how to attract the attention of rich people. But the local climate is not very friendly. Americans usually go to their own country when they go out for fun. Puerto Rico is quite far away." Greta Garbo said thoughtfully.
, "You can't make movies, there's Hollywood. Lottery is one way, but it's not sure whether it can affect the United States. Think about any way to benefit the rich class, and then look for some celebrities you are familiar with."
Shoot TV commercials to increase your visibility."
"Traveling is not possible either." Ellen Wilson listened to Greta Garbo and began to think of ways around the wealthy class. What do the rich need? Fame? Some, but certainly not all.
The general desire of the rich is the same as the general desire of the poor. To make money, the more the better. The rich also want to see an increase in wealth, especially because the inheritance tax in the UK is very high!
Inheritance tax? Alan Wilson seemed to have opened up eight strange meridians, and suddenly the idea came to him. This time he came to New York at the right time, "Greta, thank you. To express my gratitude, let me cook you a meal."
Alan Wilson really has limited time. As a time management master, it is impossible to conjure time out of thin air. In five days, he will go to Boston, then stay for a day to explain some things, and then take a boat to Newfoundland.
In fact, before he thought of a good way, time was not so tight because he had to travel around the United States. But now that he has thought of a way, there is no need to push for a position in Newfoundland.
Greta Garbo was still confused. Seeing this man, she seemed to have suddenly changed into a different person. She was confused, but when she saw that the man had stood up naked, she frowned slightly and said, "How can you cook like this with your pants on?"
"I'm sorry, I thought I could be treated like a husband." Alan Wilson apologized without sincerity and entered the kitchen without treating himself as an outsider. "Can you accompany me to buy some clothes tomorrow? After all, I'm in New York."
Finland is not easy to buy.”
Who will accompany you to buy clothes? Greta Garbo thought so, and a man and a woman appeared on the streets of New York the next day. Greta Garbo was wearing huge sunglasses. She didn't want to come, but she was threatened.
Yesterday evening when she was on the balcony, this man threatened her. If she didn't agree, he would shout at the pedestrians below in the downtown area to let everyone know what they were doing. He kept saying that this was the United States, not the United Kingdom, and even wanted to call the police.
She gave in and agreed to come out to buy clothes with her, and then Alan Wilson took her back to the room.
Shopping is very unfamiliar to her. Since her retirement, Greta Garbo has stayed at home for many years and has very few contacts with friends, let alone being in the busy city.
"You should go out and hang out more. Although you Swedes are born with a sense of distance, your current living situation is too excessive. If your first love is still alive, I don't want to see you living like this."
This is because the temperature in the northeastern United States is not high during this season, otherwise Greta Garbo would look weird wearing a hat, scarf, and huge sunglasses.
On this day's trip to the Big Apple, it was basically Alan Wilson talking and Greta Garbo listening. There was little dialogue between the two. Greta Garbo was also afraid of being recognized. She had never said anything about it.
A person with a box office record is still very well-known in the United States.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After fulfilling Pamela Mountbatten's obligations without any danger, Greta Garbo returned home in fear and helped this uninvited guest try on clothes.
"Actually, Newfoundland is sparsely populated. You can come and see me then." Alan Wilson said to the silent film queen behind him while stuffing his clothes into the suitcase.
"Who wants to go there to see you?" Greta Garbo refused instinctively.
"Say it again?" Ellen Wilson's face turned cloudy, and she looked directly at Greta Garbo.
"I mean, I'll go again if I have the chance." Greta Garbo's attitude immediately changed from firm opposition to conditional approval, and finally to firm support.
"It's so gratifying to hear such an unforced answer." Alan Wilson finally got the pulse of the silent film queen. Although Greta Garbo seemed very strong, she would choose to surrender when faced with a more powerful one.
In the next few days, Alan Wilson stayed in Greta Garbo's luxury apartment and looked through the books he had just purchased. It must be said that in this era, publishing books in the United States is already very expensive compared with the price of goods.
The book is called "An American's Dilemma: The Negro Question and Modern Democracy." This book condemned and indicted the United States, especially the inequality in the South, in many ways, and had a huge influence.
The author points out that the American creed believes in freedom and opportunity for all, and the racial inequality in the South violates this creed.
Few Southerners will like the book's description of the South as a "boring, unsafe" remote place where "emotional Puritan religion" prevails and where "an unhealthy emphasis on sex" pervades.
From aspects such as lynching and the legal system, it shows how blacks and whites in the American South were trapped in a destructive relationship full of fear and violation. This relationship emerged because of slavery and because Americans had a deep understanding of poverty, crime, and
Widespread attitudes of social isolation persist.
Reading and taking notes has always been a good habit of Alan Wilson. In the notebook he carries, Alan Wilson records that in addition to the red threat represented by the Soviet Union, he also added pink threat, purple threat and black threat. The latter three colors
The threat represents the women's movement, gay equality and black issues.
"It would be great if these three issues were combined with the Soviet Union." Alan Wilson put away the notebook, but it was a pity that now was not the time, and he could not get to know McCarthy yet.
Greta Garbo happened to come back from the balcony and took back Alan Wilson's clothes that had been dried. When she saw the man grunting, she added, "Why are you laughing?"
"I've been reading your Swedes' works and learned some knowledge." Alan Wilson looked at the book in his hand and did not forget to complain, "Comparing the prices of books and goods in the United States, they are too expensive."
Greta Garbo is not Hedy Lamarr. She has no reading habit and lives at home just watching soap operas every day. It’s a shame that she was able to live like this for seven years. According to the future trajectory, she will continue to do this until her death.
.
It was already time in New York. Alan Wilson dragged his full suitcase to the door and suddenly turned around, "It seems that at this time, wives would give their husbands a farewell kiss or something like that for their long-distance trip."
"You are not my husband." Although Greta Garbo said this, she still stood up on tiptoes and kissed her.
"Remember to visit me when you have time. You are Swedish, so adapting to the local climate should not be a problem." Alan Wilson stood at the door contentedly, said something about staying at home and taking care of your health, and then slowly dragged his suitcase.
Went down the stairs.
This time he was really going to take office. Greta Garbo didn't close the door until the footsteps on the stairs disappeared.
Alan Wilson arrived in Boston, said some words of sincere solidarity at the consulate, and boarded the ship to Newfoundland the next day. He already had a rough plan, and under this premise, time was precious. Finally, his
Once you set foot on the soil of Newfoundland, you have entered the role of Governor of Newfoundland.
