American Comics Plane Trader

Don't tell me you don't know, you will be shocked when you say it.

It has to be said that Dix gave Josie a big surprise.

It's different from Lyndon Schneider who was only surprised by the film company... Although this guy is a talent, but after a long time of contact, he knows that he is an old pervert.

What surprised Josie even more was the nature of these industries.

Dig out Las Vegas' unmistakable casino and three factories that don't yet know what it is.

Several other industries, film companies, Blue broadcasting network, newspapers.

The whole of these three things is the embryonic form of a media empire.

Some people may not know the Blue broadcasting network, but when it comes to ABC (American Broadcasting Corporation), there must be many people who know it.

The Blue broadcasting network is actually the predecessor of ABC.

Before 1941, both the Blue Network and the Red Network belonged to the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States, or NBC.

The difference between the two is actually the difference between commercial broadcasting and non-commercial broadcasting.

Rednet provides commercially sponsored entertainment and music programming.

Bluenet mainly provides non-sponsored broadcasts, especially news and cultural programming.

Later, because the federal government worried that NBC’s control of two radio stations would have too much power interference in the industry, that is, a monopoly, it ordered NBC to divest one of them, and then NBC retained the red network, and the blue network became an independent company. The company, last year, in 1943, was bought by a confectioner named Edward Noble for eight million dollars.

Josie also remembered the news about the acquisition of Blue Net from the newspaper... The other party is also from Illinois, so the acquisition was reported in the Chicago Tribune.

Moreover, he didn't have much money at the time, and eight million was still a bit of pressure, so he could only sigh, but he didn't expect that Dix would actually send a part of the shares to him now.

You must know that because of the existence of the sugar factory, Josie and that Edward Noble are still competitors. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for Josie to get the shares of BlueNet.

"How did you get the shares of BlueNet?" Josie asked curiously.

"Hey, thanks to the Italians, the competition between the Irish and the Italians in Springfield City has been fierce before, so the Irish asked us for help. After sweeping away the Italians' property, the local Irish sent One of my rewards," Dix replied with a smile.

Springfield City is the capital of Illinois. The transliteration is Springfield. The Springfield Arsenal of Mingming is located in this city.

"What about the other properties?" Josie asked again.

"The two film companies are both Jewish industries. The larger one is owned by the Jewish Sigl who was killed by me, and the smaller one is owned by another local Jewish boss. The newspaper company is even worse. It is only a local film company. A small newspaper." Dix replied one by one, "As for the three factories, they are a cotton yarn factory, an agricultural airport, and a tire factory, but apart from the cotton yarn factory, the other two factories have basically no benefits and are about to go bankrupt."

Josie nodded when he heard the words. In his opinion, these are actually good industries.

Agricultural airports and tire factories obviously had problems due to raw materials and no military orders. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to go bankrupt during World War II, when everyone was making money.

"Okay, these industries, you should make a list for me, and I will let the accounting firm do the calculation, and then buy them from you at the market price. In addition, for the blue network, I need you to take all the shares!" Josie nodded and made a quick decision.

After talking about the business, Josie was ready to leave.

Dix and Lyndon Schneider also wanted to lure Josh to the chicken farm, saying that there were a lot of new chickens coming in lately.

But he was rejected by Josie sternly... But the real reason is that Margot will be back tomorrow. If he had too much fun at night, it would be bad if he didn't have energy tomorrow. He didn't want to mess with himself because of such a thing. The beautiful sister is not happy.

And there is still the first batch of supplies to be traded to Yuri, waiting for him to transport them.

The first batch of materials are mainly some vegetables, food, and various basic living materials.

Other than that is a typewriter and some paper and ink.

In exchange for a few kilograms of unrefined iridium and a long list of fresher.

So in the next few days, Josie started a busy delivery mode.

All kinds of living materials and basic tools for Yuri, automobiles, tractors, excavators and other engineering equipment.

Very busy.

In addition, the two hundred French ladies who were going to sell to Daenerys were also successfully traded during the period.

A few days later.

Chicago Union Station.

Woohoo, accompanied by the roar of the siren, a passenger train slowly entered Chicago's Union Station.

Before the train came to a complete stop, the door just opened, and a soldier in uniform of the US military jumped out of the car impatiently.

The soldier came out of the station, looked around, and soon found the man who had come to meet him.

A young girl in plain clothes.

"Vito, here!" The young girl greeted the soldiers excitedly.

The soldier hurriedly ran towards the direction where the girl was.

Seeing this, the passengers around stepped aside one after another, and smiled at the two young men.

It's just that they are all wrong, the young couple are not lovers, but siblings.

"Hey, old lady, it's good to see you. Come and hug me." The soldier ran to the girl and hugged her with a smile.

"Vito, it's really great to see you again!" The girl also hugged her brother quietly.

"Didn't I tell you not to pick me up?" After the hug, the young soldier named Vito said to his sister.

"That's no good, if I don't come to pick you up, you may not find our new home!" the girl said.

"New home? You moved? You didn't mention this in the previous letter!" Vito said in surprise.

"Because I just moved not long ago, the environment in my new home is much better than before, and not only have I moved to a new home, I have even paid off my father's debts." The girl replied very relaxed.

"It seems that your boss is really good!" Vito nodded upon hearing this. In the previous correspondence, he knew that his sister had worked as a maid for someone else's family, and he was actually not very happy about it at first.

After all, being a servant is not a very honorable profession.

But judging from her sister's words now, her living conditions are indeed good.

"Yes, Mr. Kahn and Ms. Margot are good people," replied the girl.

That's right, this girl is none other than Josie's maid, Francesca.

And this soldier is her younger brother, Vito Scaletta, who just came back from the battlefield

"You still have a car?" Vito was even more surprised when Francis signaled him to get on a car after following his sister out of the station.

"This is not my car, and I don't know how to drive. It was specially arranged by Mr. Kahn knowing that I was coming to pick you up today. This is Mr. Brooke, one of Mr. Kahn's bodyguards. Mr. Brooke, this is my brother, Vito." Francesca said to the driver in the car.

It was only at this time that Vito discovered that there was a driver in the car.

But seeing this driver, Vito immediately had a feeling that the other driver should be a soldier like him.
