Chapter 56: Donations and collapse

After joking, Li Zitao had to admit that as a fat man, he could not understand the Rockefeller family's philosophy. Perhaps this is the so-called family heritage and elite education.
　　Although it is impossible to understand, Li Zitao also wants to do something for the motherland, even if the motherland of this world is essentially indistinguishable from him in the previous life.
　　 As for the dog's parents, he was killed by the warlord before he came to the United States.
　　 "Lawrence, I want to donate a sum of money to the Rockefeller Foundation to fund education in China." Li Zitao looked at him with a condensed smile.
　　 "Of course, Charlie, how much do you plan to donate?" Lawrence smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice: "Compared to this, I want to know how much you plan to make?"
　　 "Cough, I donate 10 million!" Li Zitao felt a pain in his heart, did he give too much?
　　10 million dollars is enough to build a giant enterprise in this era. Li Zitao is not distressed by money, but is afraid of becoming an injustice in the eyes of some people.
　　 If he was always beaten by autumn wind, wouldn't he be depressed and die.
　　 "FK, I knew you made a lot of it, Charlie, lucky Charlie." Lawrence stared at him enviously, his eyes almost green.
　　 10 million US dollars, such a large amount of money, Lawrence speculated that he made at least 200 million US dollars in the stock market.
　　 "Hey, man, do you know? I have to look at you differently." Lawrence just used "Your plan," Li Zitao didn't refute, and there was no change in his look.
　　This let Lawrence know that his guess was correct, and the plan was devised from the new friend from China from the beginning to the end.
　　 "Gentlemen, Hollywood is here." The car stopped at the side of the road. Li Zitao looked at the small, dusty houses and messy streets all around, and wanted to turn around and leave.
　　The people walking on the road were covered with dust, the homeless people were shrunk by the wall, and the sacks with stains beside him were all his property.
　　And those bright and bright future stars, like ‘village’, are supporting the elegant manners, walking on the dirt roads full of gravel and potholes.
　　 There is a rail on the left and right of the road. That is the only public transportation from Los Angeles to Hollywood. Every day, you can experience what is called a squeeze smile.
　　The scattered pepper trees and palm trees are everywhere, but lack of construction and management, it seems to have no sense of beauty, but it makes people feel annoyed.
　　 "Destroy the image!" Li Zitao longed for two lifetimes of Hollywood, and collapsed inwardly in an instant. Isn't this the countryside in the 1980s?
　　Hollywood was formally established in 1903. In 1910, Hollywood residents voted to join the jurisdiction of Los Angeles because of the convenience of drinking water and drainage facilities.
　　 Also in early 1910, director David Griffith came to the West Coast to shoot a movie, and took the crew to find this hospitable and hospitable small city.
　　 Later, a large number of small companies and independent producers moved to escape from the control of patent companies. In 1913, Hollywood became famous and boomed.
　　 With regard to the rise of Hollywood, I would also like to thank a big inventor and entrepreneur, that is, the famous Mr. Edison.
It is precisely because of his patent monopoly on film equipment and his optimism about the film market that after Edison annexed the nine major film companies in the east, he madly seized the market and used patents as a knife to want to control the future film market and producers. .
　　 Powerless to contend, filmmakers who want to get rid of control will choose to come to a deserted town that can run to Mexico at any time to create a Hollywood culture that will affect the world in the future.
　　Of course, this is also related to the original natural beauty of Hollywood and the propaganda of many producers. Everyone wants to hold a group to warm up, so as to compete with Edison's trust monster.
　　 In 1923, the large white characters of HOLLYWOODLAND were erected on the back hill of Hollywood. LAND has not been removed yet. That is the advertising word added by the developer.
　　Because it was dark, Li Zitao could only see the vague appearance, and did not pay much attention to it.
　　 And in 1929, that is now, the two-year-old American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences awarded the first Academy Awards on May 16.
　　 In addition, it is not called the Academy Award, but the Academy Trophy, which reminds Li Zitao of Hogwarts.
　　 There is also our ambitious Mr. Edison who wants to control the movie market, and the trust monster company he created because the Antitrust (Trust) Act has gone bankrupt.
　　 Actually, the most important reason is that he offended producers and small companies in the United States. These people met in Hollywood, and when they faced him, they fought against each other and broke out an amazing influence.
　　 "Lawrence, maybe we should go back to Los Angeles, where there are good cigars and beer, and a large bathtub filled with stones. I think you can use QD to take a bath."
　　Li Zitao never forgets to advertise at any time, to know that the potential hints accumulated over time are terrible, otherwise how the brain gold and Hui of the previous life fired.
　　 "Don't be like this, man, let me take you to explore the mystery of Hollywood." Lawrence didn't seem disappointed, but took him forward with ease.
　　 They did not bring a bodyguard. Li Zitao was very confident in his skill. Moreover, the decision to come to Hollywood was a temporary intention. Even he did not expect that who could have expected it?
　　 "Charlie, did you see? This is Hollywood." After walking about 10 minutes forward, Lawrence turned to the right and stood proudly in front of the street, raising his arms.
　　 Road is still dirt road, this may be the case in this life.
　　 However, there are few gravel and potholes on the pavement, and it looks very smooth. The 6 cars can drive side by side on the wide pavement, which is a variety of high-end stores with bright lights.
　　Women wear evening dresses, men wear stylish beveled tailored suits, and walk among them with a smile, looking back and looking back, "I may have crossed again."
　　 "This is called Hollywood Boulevard. Come with me, it's time to have some fun." Lawrence walked inwardly.
　　 "... Avenue of Stars? What about the stars? Eaten by dogs?" Li Zitao's heart was full of vomiting. As the so-called hope is, the greater the disappointment.
　　 Today's Hollywood is much worse than what I saw in the previous life through the Internet.
　　 "Charlie, are we going to the movies? There will be a big house starring Beery tonight, that's a sound movie." Lawrence pointed to the far-reaching banner and was very excited.
　　 sound? Sorry, I'm about to vomit, and as for Wallace Billy Lawrence said, Li Zitao is even less interested.
　　 Go to a man's movie with a man, mdzz~
　　 "Who is the female lead?" This is what men should pay attention to, and knocked on the blackboard.
　　 "Uh... I don't know." Lawrence said inexorably.
　　 There is no Avenue of Stars, no red carpet, no spotlights, no see-through outfits, no fall, no fans and screams, "I'm so tired, I want to go home and lie down."
　　 "Hey, man, slow down." Lawrence stretched his hand against the man who hit him, and asked with concerned eyes; "Are you all right?"
　　 Li Zitao, who had returned to God, also looked at the man in front of him, a denim jacket, washed to white but clean trousers, ruddy complexion, combed so that Li Zitao looked at the embarrassed big back, his eyes lost.
　　 "Sorry, sir, I'm distracted." The other person shook his head and walked away quickly.
　　 "Maybe he encountered some difficulties." Lawrence shrugged casually, looking around and murmured; "Let me see what other movies, are we going to watch Mickey?"
　　 "Wait, what did you just say?" Li Zitao's eyes lit up.
　　 "I said, what should we do now?" Lawrence complained.
　　 "No, not this sentence, you mentioned Mickey, Mickey Mouse just now?" Excited, Li Zitao was about to tremble with excitement.
　　 That's Mickey Mouse, Mickey Mouse!
　　 Disney, haha, my Disney, "Where is it, where is that cute little mouse, take me to see it."
　　Li Zitao dragged Lawrence and walked forward, just like the patient who got mad.
　　 "Hey, man, don't be excited, it's just an anime." Lawrence's face was ashamed. Does this new friend's heart still maintain pure innocence?
　　 Childhood is impossible, and Li Zitao is only concerned about banknotes.
　　 After buying the ticket and entering the Hua Guo Theater, Li Zitao saw the Mickey holding the rudder on the ship and swinging left and right with pride, and his heart was instantly soft.
　　 Until now, he finally has a sense of belonging in this world, the kind of feeling that comes from the depths of the soul and is the most familiar.
　　 "I finally saw something familiar." Although it was just an animation, a virtual animated character, it was very meaningful to Li Zitao.
　　 This unfamiliar to icy world is real, colorful, and awesome.
　　 As for the Hua Guo Theater, it is just a cold building, and it is not yet built by the Chinese.
　　 "Do you know its issuing company?" Sitting in the position, listening to the laughter from time to time, Li Zitao was also very happy.
　　 "White Disney ~ EbookFREE.me ~ seems to be this." Lawrence said uncertainly.
　　 "Take me, we'll go find it tomorrow morning." Li Zitao controlled his emotions, but the frantic look on his face still made Lawrence step back in fear.
　　 "Charlie, maybe you should be an animator." Lawrence said.
　　 "Go to your animator, you know? Lawrence, it's not Mickey in my eyes, it's not a fake, only a character on the screen, but a lot of money."
　　Li Zitao's words made him think deeply. When he heard people's cheerful laughter again, Lawrence silently made a decision in his heart.
　　 "Let's go." When the show was about to end, Li Zitao shot the pensive Lawrence and walked out first.
　　 "It's not over yet!" Lawrence hurried to keep up.
　　 "I've seen what I want, I said, that's not animation." Walking out of the theater, Li Zitao looked around and found a telephone hanging on the wall.
　　 "Lawrence, do you have coins?" Li Zitao touched his body and embarrassedly found that he had no coins.
　　 "Here." Lawrence took out several 5 cent coins and handed him.
　　 "Hey, Ben, I need you to send someone to Hollywood, yes, right now, I will be there tomorrow morning..." Li Zitao looked at Lawrence and followed his finger to the opposite side: "The Roosevelt Hotel, worked hard."
　　 "Charlie, are you serious?" Hanging up the phone, Lawrence asked when he looked at him.
　　 "I'm going up and down hundreds of thousands of a second, what do you say?" Li Zitao joked.
　　 "It seems that I have to make a phone call." Lawrence took the remaining coins from his hand and dialed the number and waited.
　　 "Father, I need your help..." Lawrence said in a low voice: "Yes, I am willing to bear interest..."
