Chapter 3505 Film Company(2/2)
This was an unexpected surprise for Sheikh Dan.
"I don't know how to express my gratitude to you, Mr. Colonel." Sheikhdan expressed his praise without hesitation: "You will always be a friend of the Narendasan family, and the United States will always be a benefactor of the Philippines."
Well.
Before Meng Shaoyuan could speak, Sheikh Dan spoke eloquently: "When the United States purchased the Philippines from Spain for 20 million US dollars, the glory of the Philippines began. I do not shy away from this.
During the Spanish era, the Philippines, like many Asian countries, was in a backward agricultural civilization. After the arrival of the Americans, they introduced modern industry and education, especially the political system.
The Philippines has developed tremendously. Clubs, hotels, and universities have all sprung up. The Philippines even has a high-level film shooting base. Over the years, Americans have brought many new things to the Philippines, including bathrooms, ties, radio,
Refrigerators, airplanes, and free conversation in English!”
Meng Shaoyuan was dumbfounded.
A colonized person was so grateful to the colonizers.
Of course, Sheikh Dan's attitude also represents the attitude of the vast majority of people.
In the past, present and future, Filipinos have never really hated American colonial rule.
On the contrary, many of them are grateful for the colonial rule of the United States.
I believe that without the United States, there would be no Philippines.
China must be wary of this neighbor.
They may have fierce quarrels with the United States because of some interests.
But in fact, they know very well that the Philippines can never leave their American master!
After an impassioned speech of allegiance, Sheikh Dan changed the subject: "Colonel, in addition to being summoned by you this time I came to Manila, I actually have another matter that I need to come here to deal with.
As I said just now, with the help of the United States, the Philippines had its own high-level shooting base, and film companies came into being. At that time, there were four film companies in the Philippines, one of which belonged to Narenda
The Mulberry family's .NL Film Company.
We have shot several very well-received movies, which caused a great response in the Philippines. One of the musicals, "Dancing Girl in the Night", was even screened in the United States, which is our greatest pride.
After the Japanese invaded, we had no time to evacuate our assets in Manila, including NL Film Company. Employees within the company were treated inhumanely by the Japanese, and the entire film company was completely destroyed.
Now, the victory of the US-Philippine coalition is unstoppable, and the Narendasan family is also preparing to rebuild NL Film Company. To this end, we have made two months of preparations, and all funds and manpower are in place."
This is another purpose of Sheikh Dan's visit to Manila this time.
However, Meng Shaoyuan didn't know why he was telling him this.
Sheikh Dan glanced at Meng Shaoyuan: "I am very grateful to the colonel for what he has done for the Narendasan family, so I decided to give half of the shares of NL Film Company to Mr. Colonel."
Oh, is there such a good thing?
While in Shanghai, Meng Shaoyuan was also exposed to movies.
Can you directly enter the film industry?
interesting.
A whole new experience.
Meng Shaoyuan was still moved: "I accept your kindness, Mr. Narendasan."
Using half of the shares of the film company to strengthen the "friendship" between the Narendasan family and the Americans, Sheikh Dan still knows how to settle this account.
"Okay, these things have been solved, and there is only one last problem left." Meng Shaoyuan's face straightened: "Krahan Papa."
When he mentioned this name, Sheikh Dan's expression also turned gloomy.
After a while, he said: "Krahan Papa, he is very loyal to the Narendasan family. Since my father was assassinated, he has vowed to avenge my father. This time he came to Manila, it is indeed
Came here to assassinate Marcos.
Colonel, I don't want to hide anything from you. This is a stubborn guy. When he decides on something, he will never give up if he doesn't achieve his goal. Even I can't stop his actions."
"Oh, really?" Meng Shaoyuan frowned.
"Yes, I definitely did not lie to you." Sheikhdan said seriously: "I remember that a few years ago, the Narendasan family also had an enemy who also had a certain influence, and Crahan decided to assassinate him.
But while he was preparing, our enemy, for some reason, reached a ceasefire agreement with us. I immediately sent someone to notify Crahan, but Crahan ignored it and completed the assassination. As a result, Narenda
The Sang family brought a lot of trouble.
Therefore, I can't persuade him this time. But for the sake of our friendship, since Krahan Papa is no longer a member of the Narendasan family, the Narendasan family will not proceed with his affairs.
Any interference."
This means that from this moment on, Krahan Papa has been completely abandoned by the Narendasan family.
