The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 38

The boom in the oil industry in western states such as California also happened to hit the G-spot of eastern businessmen. They heard from newspapers and rumors one by one the myth that they became rich overnight because of oil, and the adventurous spirit of the Americans in pursuit of wealth boiled over. .

The California oil myth, detonated by Situ Nan, is constantly spreading to the central, southern, eastern, and even Europe.

"Los Angeles Times" and "Chicago Forum" successively reported the discovery of large oil fields in California, which were reprinted by major media.

The New York Times also wrote in an encouraging tone: "The discovery of California's oil fields reminds me of the gold rush that my grandfather participated in back then, where he digged out the first pot of gold in his life.

Although more than 50 years have passed, with the discovery of oil, we have reason to believe that this is a new round of gold rush, but this time it is black gold oil.

According to the prediction of a certain expert, the underground of the entire California and even the west sits on one oil field after another, and its reserves may be 100 times that of New Jersey's oil!

Americans who desire wealth, what are you waiting for?Buy a ticket to go west, where your dreams are waiting for you!"

Now all Americans know that California has discovered a large oil field.

It is said that there is oil everywhere underground!

Rumors are inevitably false, and the version is also upgraded step by step in the process of dissemination, and people's nerves are also stirred up in the discussion.

Everyone knows that there are many people who have kept the gold rush of the last century in their minds in the West, especially in California, where a large number of foreign populations are influx every day.

However, in this wealth adventure, the lucky few who really succeeded, most of them failed to realize their ambitions of getting rich.

The biggest gains are still land speculators and merchants who provide various materials for adventurers.

This is the same as the result of the last gold rush. The famous clothing giant Levi's jeans emerged from the gold rush and gradually became a world famous brand.

The California state government welcomes foreign adventurers. Among these people are bankers, workers, engineers, teachers, and farmers. They have brought capital, technology, and talent from the east and even Europe. This is what the western states desire.

Explosive population growth has provided sufficient labor for California's industrial development, government taxes have increased substantially, and various municipal constructions are also in full swing.

The same goes for the later state of Texas.

Undoubtedly, due to the emergence of Situ Nan, the oil boom in the west was advanced 20 or 30 years, resulting in the economic development of the western United States represented by California and later Texas.

California is vast and sparsely populated, all walks of life are booming, and the prospects are bright.

In addition, Europe soon began to fight, and California's manufacturing industry received a large number of orders from Britain and France.

As a result, some people who had not been able to get rich in the "oil fever" stayed behind, and they just happened to be digested by the increasingly developed industry.

This is unprecedented in history.

Situ Nan also did not expect that because the oil fields were opened in advance, the industrial development in California would be raised to a level.

Although he can't see it yet, where people can see with naked eyes, there are two butterflies flapping their wings desperately, and the trajectory of history has quietly changed.

California's development is ahead of its history, but no matter what, Situ Nan still likes California and has his "home" here.

California has a pleasant climate and rich products. The warm sunshine here makes it a pleasant place.

When not going out to work during the day, Situ Nan played basketball besides hunting.He built a basketball court in his yard and played basketball with He Wenxiu and a group of security guards when he had time.

Basketball at this time is still a new thing. There are many rules that are not perfect, but this is not difficult for Situ Nan. He not only supplemented the rules of basketball, but also showed off a few rough tactics!Situ Nan is a guest player, coach, and referee!

Affected by his evil taste, a group of basketball enthusiasts appeared in the Situ Nan mansion in Los Angeles, and gradually became popular in the enterprises controlled by Situ Nan, and even California!

The dozen or so security guards recruited by He Wenxiu were all young and active, and soon fell in love with basketball. After a period of time, several young people's skills improved rapidly, and Situ Nan was in front of them. Can't fiddle anymore!

One of them was a black man named Bryant who played well, but he was too proud and didn't have a good relationship with his peers. Situ Nan didn't like him much!

Situ Nan's favorite is a handsome white guy named Nash, because Nash is most like Situ Nan, his body is not outstanding, but his mind is flexible and his movements are more beautiful!Well, this is the key!

The most annoying thing is He Wenxiu. This guy looks cool. He is not keen on offense, but always takes pleasure in disrupting other people’s offense.

Every time after covering someone else's hot pot, this straight-faced guy always grinned and smiled a little smugly.

However, because he is the head of the security guard and has great skill, the poor guys dare not anger him!

The days are calm for a long time, and the starting point will be turbulent inadvertently.

One day, Situ Nan did not go out. Just after playing basketball, Mary came over while sitting on the sidelines to rest.

In the hot weather, Mary's thin dress could not conceal Mary's mature and plump figure. Under the sun's rays, Situ Nan could almost see through the carcass under Mary's clothes, and her body could not help but react.

"Have a glass of juice, don't be too tired!" Mary handed a glass of juice to Situ Nan, she was very proud of her figure, Situ Nan's reaction naturally could not escape this mature wife!

Situ Nan found that she had no immunity to this temptress, and didn't want her impunity to be revealed in front of a group of rude security guards, so she left the court with Mary, men like this!

A bunch of energetic security guards on the court looked at Mary’s graceful figure with envy in their eyes, but they all knew that this was the woman of the boss Situ Nan, not something they could reach, and Situ Nan was good to them, so good. There is no other treatment in Los Angeles!

"What are you doing?" He Wenxiu shouted, "Seeing that your energy is still very good. We don't have much basketball anymore. We are going for a 10km armed cross-country!"

He Wenxiu's stern eyes drew across each security guard's face like a knife, making everyone stunned, wondering what way this cold-faced god would come up with to deal with them.

In fact, the treatment of these people is so good, and it is inseparable from their efforts.At the beginning, Situ Nan was very dissatisfied with the security guards. They were loose and not rigorous at all. They couldn't compare with the Huokeli bodyguards Situ Nan saw on the Titanic!

It's a coincidence that I usually do dogfights, in case something happens, I can't rely on these guys!By chance, Situ Nan thought that the bodyguards of the rich and powerful politicians in his previous life were all from special forces, so he had extraordinary skills, so he told He Wenxiu about the training methods of some special forces on a whim!

As a result, He Wenxiu trained the security guards according to Situ Nan's words. At the beginning, these guys grumbled and complained.

"Hey, we just do division of labor, not soldiers. This is the United States, not the damn European war!" A few couldn't stand it and left.

Sometimes Situ Nan would follow them to train when he had nothing to do. At the same time, to encourage them, Situ Nan also set up generous bonuses to reward security guards who performed well.

I saw that Situ Nan, a young boss who was training like himself, had a bonus for completing the training, and was very good in terms of food and accommodation. After the first hard days, most of them stayed.

Situ Nan is also doing this for his own safety. You must know that guns are rampant in the United States. Killing a person requires a gun and a bullet of a few cents.

With the expansion of one's own business, conflicts of interest with others are inevitable. Without a certain amount of force protection, it will not work!

Decades ago, in the vast west, it was not the White House or the law that determined the survival rule here, but a rifle in your hand.

It is common for cowboys to draw their guns when they disagree, and some of their outstanding cowboy stories are still circulating in the west.

At the end of the 19th century, under the appeal of the people, the government increased its power to crack down on lawless cowboys and re-established order, and the legal authority was slowly established.

This is an era where turbulence and order coexist, and there may not necessarily be a desire to harm others, but a desire to defend against others is indispensable. In any case, proper force should be maintained.

Don’t you see, Andrew Carnegie, the steel king, and John Rockefeller, the oil king, sent troops to suppress the workers who resisted them!

Rockefeller monopolized the oil of the United States, did it rely solely on economic means?Without intelligence behind it, force is impossible!

The most frightening thing is the DuPont family, who were born as explosives and show no mercy to competitors.He even blew up his competitors’ factories, and many people died.Ruthless!

No one will succeed casually, behind the illustrious are dark iron and blood means!

Although Situ Nan is still some distance away from these giants for the time being, as long as you give yourself time for this visible distance, Situ Nan is confident that he will become one of them!
