The dinner was over and the gentlemen began to drink the after-dinner wine.

Our Master Yuan gestured to Professor Chandler with his eyes, who nodded understandingly and bent down to take out several documents from his bag under his feet.

Yuan Yan suddenly took it and flipped it over, then handed it to Roosevelt and Old Kennedy, and just came up with a spare part and gave it to Lieutenant Colonel Nimitz.

He said in a proud tone: "Gentlemen, look. This is the poll conducted by Big Data consulting firm on "The Orphan of Famine."

"In a sense, you are witnessing history. This is probably... no, this should be the first poll in the world!"

"Professor Chandler, please tell me." Finally, he handed over the opportunity for introduction to Mr. Professor.

"Ahem..." NYU's economics professor coughed and said, "Gentlemen, we visited a total of 1,000 subjects in New York City this time, all of which were randomly selected based on household registration information..."

"We adopted a face-to-face inquiry method. The respondents were divided into the following categories according to gender, age, race, income, residence, and education level..."

“It turns out like you guys see, this movie will be very popular.”

"But..." Old Kennedy frowned and asked in confusion, "Neo, have you promised that "The Lonely of Famine" will be sold? Why do you still have to do such useless...that cumbersome investigation."

"Joseph, how could such an investigation be useless?"

Before Yuan Yan could answer, FDR replied for him.

This Dashu consulting company was actually established by both of them. But Roosevelt didn't know how to conduct polls, so he gave it all to our Master Yuan to do it.

Yuan Yanshu would not be patient with doing such "small things". So he discussed with Professor Chandler and Professor Adams, and then brought in a few NYU students and started the polling company.

After Roosevelt looked at the survey in a hurry, he said very satisfied: "This will definitely be very useful!"

Polls will certainly be useful, whether in the business or political field.

What's more, our Master Yuan had described to him the scope of application and broad prospects of polls last time. (Author's note: see Chapter 51 of Volume 2 "Yuan Luopu")

Here FDR told JFK his father about the polls.

Yuan Yan, who was over there, suddenly turned his head and asked at the future commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet with a smile: "Chester, are you interested in participating in this movie?"

"I? Invest in movies!" Nimitz was of course a little surprised when he heard this.

He subconsciously shook his head and refused, "Neo, forget it, I don't understand the movie at all..."

In fact, this reaction is normal for people.

For example, a few years ago, someone told you that a certain virtual currency of 3,000 soft sister coins can rise to more than 10,000 US dollars in a few years. You must think that this guy is either crazy or is here to cheat you of money... (Author’s note: I’m the second!)

"Chester, did you see it?" Master Yuan pointed to the two people next to him and said, "These are both investors in this movie."

He laughed and said, "Chester, let's say a less funny joke. I dare to cheat you, but do I dare to cheat them?"

He thought to himself, I really didn’t cheat you, but picked you!

"this……"

Nimitz's origin is not comparable to the other two present.

He was not a rich second generation like Major Patton and Major General Connor, but was born in a poor family in a small town in Texas Mountain Township. So much so that his biographer wrote that "he was the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet, just like sending people to the moon, and it was the miracle that could be realized."

So he is naturally not so indifferent to small money.

"No need for this or that, Chester."

Yuan Yan suddenly looked around and found that no one noticed them. She raised three fingers and leaned over and lowered her voice, "Three thousand, even if you invested three thousand dollars..."

"Three thousand dollars?!"

This number is definitely not a small number for a naval lieutenant colonel who has a very average family background and has a family background.

"Yes, the total investment is three million US dollars, then three thousand US dollars is 0.1%.

"Neo, I still don't want it..."

"Chester, don't say no so quickly, listen to my conditions." Master Yuan waved his hand, "This is a gentleman agreement between us. You don't have to really take out the money. Just do me a favor and you have invested the money."

Nimitz looked at the Chinese carefully and asked a little vigilantly: "Dr. Yuan, what can I do to you?"

When he heard that others had changed their names, Yuan Yanshu immediately said seriously: "Lieutenant Colonel Nimitz, don't get me wrong, it's not what you think. I just want to get to know the commanders of the Marine Corps in the American country in Shanghai."

He sighed, revealing a very complicated expression, with unwillingness, humiliation, resentment, timidity, and sigh...

In short, he looked very sympathetic when he saw it: "Chester, you also know that my motherland is currently a chaotic country with warlords and disorderly separatist..."

"And Shanghai where my family is located is another chaotic place called the "Oriental City"..."

"Besides... Chester, look at me." Our Master Yuan pointed at himself and said, "I am an intellectual. If I am bullied..."

"In 1922, two anecdotes occurred in the famous stage of Shanghai. These two incidents were the boss of the stage, and the Qing Gang tycoon Huang Jinrong was beaten twice in his own theater.

In fact, this "sharing stage" was built by Huang Jinrong to win the famous actor Lu Lanchun. Because it is the first theater in Shanghai where male and female actors perform on the same stage, this is called "sharing stage".

In order to promote his role, Lao Huang asked his gangsters to separate from each other. As long as he applauded, others would cheer.

One day, a young man suddenly shouted in the private room. This was like a thug on Tai Sui's head, and was immediately rushed in and beaten by the thugs. It is said that Huang Jinrong slapped the man two big mouths himself.

Seeing that he had insufficient staff, the young man had to leave in disappointment.

However, the next day, a large number of plainclothes military and police came to the theater and dragged Huang Jinrong out of the box and beat him up, smashing the theater. The military and police also tied the people to the Songhu Security Command.

It turned out that the cheering young man was the son of Lu Yongxiang, the escort of Songhu Guardians, and Lu Xiaojia among the "Four Great Princes of the Republic of China".

In the end, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin came forward to open up Lu Yongxiang's "joints", and released Huang Jinrong at the cost of three million yuan and agreeing to the Lu family's investment in "Sanxin" (Opium Company).

When Huang Jinrong encounters such a tough guy, he has to admit that he is unlucky.

However, the blessings are unparalleled. When the stage of the Communist Party was just renovated and reopened, Mr. Yuan Yanshu happened to drive here with his friends and was blocked by the congratulatory abortion.

It is said that he was in a bad mood that day, and when he saw the road was blocked, he felt even worse. So he got off the car with his American friends and beat Lao Huang in front of everyone...

Since Mr. Yuan returned to Shanghai, there has been a saying among the people in the world that the red ones have made money, and the white ones have been defeated and the white ones have been defeated.

The first sentence means that the Hongmen's momentum overwhelms the Qinggang; the second sentence of Baipi of course refers to Mr. Yuan's little white face. Mapi is the golden Rong who has better than smallpox. In Shanghai, Jiutong is also called Mapi.

At that time, there was a proverb in Shanghai that Ning Rai Uncle Huang from the Qing Gang and the Second Prince of the "Oilun".

The second prince of the Yangmen is talking about Mr. Yuan Yanshu. Although he is the leader of the Hongmen Anliangtang, the people who support him are all foreigners, so they are nicknamed "Overseas". Because he has his father, the "Half-step Master", who was the second prince of the sage, before, so everyone is not called the eldest prince, but the second prince."

——Excerpt from "Selected Anecdotes of the Republic of China-Shanghai Volume"

"Clang...clang...clang."

The bell rang nine times, and the party was almost over. Everyone stood up and said goodbye to each other.

At this time, our Master Yuan was very close to the future commander-in-chief of the Pacific Fleet.

I heard Nimitz stand up and smile and say, "Neo, don't worry. I'll write you when I go back."

Yuan Yan suddenly looked grateful and stood up and said, "Chester, don't worry. When I go back, I will help you write the contract."

The two shook hands and smiled at each other.

"Neo, I'm going to Washington in a few days..." FDR came forward to apologize, "Sorry, I may not be able to go back to New York to see you off."

Our Master Yuan naturally shook his head and said, "Franklin, you are too polite."

"Neo, then I'm here to wish you a good trip."

"Franklin, thank you."

The two shook hands too...

At this time, Yuan Yan suddenly took a step forward, stared at the eyes of the future commander of the US imperial commander, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "Franklin, you have to be careful of your health. If..."

“What I said is that if there is something wrong with your body, don’t forget ‘ZHONG YI’!”

FDR, who was startled, felt something vaguely and asked seriously: "Neo, what do you mean?"

"Franklin, I have nothing to do with it." Master Yuan took a step back and opened the distance between the two sides, then smiled slightly, "It's just a reminder to pay attention to your health..."

Without waiting for Roosevelt to ask again, he turned to Old Kennedy and stretched out his hand, "Joseph, see you goodbye in Ireland."

"Neho, see you in Ireland!"

"beep……"

"squeak!"

"Small, something that doesn't have eyes!" Condor cursed out the window, turned his head and said, "Second Master, wait a moment. I'll start the car again."

As he said that, he opened the car door and got out of the car, took out a shaft and started the car with difficulty.

There was no way. In 1921, people often caused their muscle strain or even fractures in their arms to start a car.

Saturday, May 28, 1921 at noon.

Miss Moman looked at Yuan Yanshu's handsome side face and said with some distress: "BOSS, you either go to dinner or cocktails these days, and you really need to pay attention to your health."

"BOSS?BOSS! What's wrong with you?!"

At this time, Master Yuan was looking out the window and found that the environment here seemed to be very familiar with, and this place seemed to be very important to him.

Just as he was thinking about where this was, he was interrupted by his female secretary and had to turn his face and ask, "Aisi, what did you say?"
