Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

Faced with this predicament, He Yuzhu was also helpless.

New World Pictures acquired Marvel in November. Marvel had only been with them for a month, a time when they were full of ambition.

He Yuzhu went to tell them at this time that they couldn't grasp Marvel.

He Yuzhu estimated that the boss of New World Film Studio should hire gangsters to kill him.

Too late.

Zhou Zhixiong said, "Mr. He, when I contacted the people from New World, I found that they didn't understand comics at all."

Their management couldn't even tell which company Superman and Spider-Man belonged to.

I think if they can't continue operating, we still have a chance.

He Yuzhu held the phone, speechless for a long time.

These were things he hadn't known in his previous life.

He only knew that Marvel seemed to have changed hands several times, but he didn't really know these inside stories.

With these inside stories, He Yuzhu felt this was his opportunity.

Marvel's development is inseparable from a key figure: Stan Lee.

In 1941, Stan Lee created the Captain America comic, and later went on to create other well-known comics such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Hulk.

Stan Lee no longer creates comics; instead, he plans to bring them to the big screen.

Unfortunately, his New World Films could not fulfill his wishes.

Others might look down on these things, but He Yuzhu wouldn't miss out on them.

Have you ever met Stan Lee?

Zhou Zhixiong quickly replied, "I've met him once. But he seemed a bit down."

Feeling down is normal.

It would be strange if a master of the comics world were in a good mood, facing a management team that didn't understand comics.

"You should spend more time with him and tell him about our idea of ​​turning the comic into a movie."

Zhou Zhixiong agreed and then asked He Yuzhu about the next steps.

Actually, this plan goes without saying.

If New World Pictures doesn't work, then we have no choice but to focus on Pixar.

He Yuzhu directly arranged for Zhou Zhixiong to contact Pixar.

After discussing that, Zhou Zhixiong reported on the Terminator adaptation.

"Our initial idea is to include one of Bruce Lee's students..."

He Yuzhu didn't know if the idea was good or not, so he didn't comment but instead asked Cameron about his opinion.

Zhou Zhixiong said, "They have basically agreed to the plan. The specific details and the roles of the members are still under discussion."

"You can continue discussing this issue."

He Yuzhu no longer participates in specific matters.

He's expanded his business too much, wanting to do everything. If he tries to manage everything, he'll be exhausted.

After hanging up the phone, He Yuzhu was bored, so he left the hotel and wandered around the streets of New York.

Although it was already night, the streets of New York were still very lively.

He Yuzhu followed the flow of people to a bustling street.

From afar, He Yuzhu saw a sign written in traditional Chinese characters.

Driven by curiosity, He Yuzhu went inside.

There were many people eating in the restaurant, including quite a few people of Asian descent.

He Yuzhu listened briefly and realized that these people were all from Taiwan.

"Boss, bring me a few of your signature dishes."

The restaurant owner was also of Asian descent, an old man in his seventies.

"Sir, I've never seen you before. Is this your first time here?"

He Yuzhu heard the boss's accent: "The boss is from Shandong."

The boss nodded with a nostalgic look on his face: "Yes."

He said only one word before turning and going back to the kitchen.

A short while later, the owner brought over two dishes, both of which were classic Shandong dishes.

Braised pork intestines and braised sea cucumber with scallions.

He Yuzhu looked at the two dishes and thought the cooking was quite good. He Yuzhu casually pointed out a few shortcomings.

The boss looked at He Yuzhu in surprise: "Sir, you are an expert."

He Yuzhu smiled and said, "I'm a chef, I've been cooking for decades." The boss, having met an expert, didn't dare to be presumptuous and sat down opposite He Yuzhu to chat.

The owner's surname is Kong, and his ancestors were from Qufu, so he is considered a descendant of Confucius.

However, the Kong family is too large, and his blood relation to them is too distant. His name might not even be on the Kong family genealogy.

Unable to make ends meet, he joined the army and later went to Taiwan.

He got married and had children in Taiwan. After his son grew up and came to study in the United States, he followed him there.

Judging from his appearance, he still harbors a longing for his hometown.

He Yuzhu then advised, "Now that the country has reformed and opened up, you can go back and take a look."

Mr. Kong hesitated for a moment: "But I am a veteran of the Kuomintang."

He Yuzhu asked, "Have you seen the Battle of Taierzhuang?"

Mentioning this, Mr. Kong became somewhat excited: "I've seen it. I heard about it from a former comrade-in-arms."

I even made a special trip from New York to Hong Kong to see this movie.

This movie is well made.

The nation has not forgotten those of us who served it.

He Yuzhu said, "Yes, the country has not forgotten your contributions."

The country hasn't forgotten you, so what do you have to worry about?

After hearing He Yuzhu's words, Boss Kong was taken aback at first, and then laughed.

"I'm getting old, and I'm even getting confused. You're right, I shouldn't worry."

Mr. Kong got up and went to the counter to call his son directly.

“I have already spoken to my son and asked him to help me arrange my return to China.”

At my age, if I don't go back now, I'm afraid I'll never be able to.

Boss Kong asked He Yuzhu about the country's current development.

He Yuzhu gave him a brief introduction, without exaggeration or concealment.

As the two were getting to know each other, Mr. Kong's son arrived at the restaurant.

"Dad, why did you suddenly decide to go back to China?"

Mr. Kong excitedly told his son the news he had learned from He Yuzhu.

Finally, he said firmly, "No matter what, I'm going back. If you don't care, I'll go back by myself."

Boss Kong's son, Kong Liang, turned to He Yuzhu and said, "Sir, you've just arrived in New York, haven't you?"

"How did you know?" He Yuzhu asked curiously.

Kong Liang said, "You know too much about China."

He Yuzhu didn't hide anything and said, "I'm the owner of a film company, and I'm here in New York to make a movie."

Kong Liang said, "It's that movie, A Better Tomorrow, isn't it?"

"you know."

Kong Liang smiled and said, "I've heard it from a friend. There are only so many overseas Chinese, and they all know each other quite well."

The two sat down and started chatting.

Kong Liang currently works on Wall Street, doing investment work.

He Yuzhu didn't mention that he also owned an investment company, but instead chatted with him from the perspective of an outsider.

Seeing that He Yuzhu was interested, Kong Liang told He Yuzhu a lot of information.

He Yuzhu talked to him a lot and managed to get the information he wanted to know out of him.

He wanted to pay the bill, but Boss Kong disagreed, and He Yuzhu didn't insist.

After leaving the restaurant, He Yuzhu took a taxi to Manhattan.

The underground vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York is located 20 meters underground in Manhattan, New York.

He Yuzhu was just chatting with Kong Liang when they talked about some news from the Federal Reserve.

Since He Yuzhu had nothing to do, he took care of what needed to be done.

To avoid arousing suspicion, He Yuzhu did not get too close.

He used the space to find gold.

However, he did not collect gold in large quantities as he did in Japan.

He Yuzhu's approach was to collect a small amount from each room, and after collecting about forty tons, he stopped collecting.

After finishing all this, He Yuzhu dusted himself off and returned to the hotel. (End of Chapter)
