The journey starts from the Titanic

"Stoney, I heard that there is a visitor at home? Why didn't you tell me?" Mary smiled happily, like a housewife.

"Mary, Mr. Situ Meiden from Chinatown." Situ Nan said to Mary.

For this woman who was completely eaten by himself, he didn't dislike the other side's appearance as a housewife, which seemed to be the case.

"Hello, Mr. Mayden, this is Mary." Mary greeted in bad Chinese.

"Hello!" Situ Meideng replied.He saw a beautiful woman coming out to greet him. Some dared not to know the specific identity of this woman, so he couldn't ask questions, so he enthusiastically returned two words.

"Mary, I have something to discuss with this gentleman, you should go out first! By the way, let's call the kitchen to prepare Chinese food at noon!" Situ Nan told Mary, it is obvious that this woman is a bit redundant to appear here.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. At noon, let you taste the white-cut chicken I just learned!" Mary nodded and left politely.

Like a fragrant wind blowing away, Situ Meideng stroked his beard and smiled, "Madam can also make white-cut chicken. It's not easy! The old man is a blessing. I haven't tasted white-cut chicken for many years!"

Situ Meideng was a little bit emotional. He hadn't changed his local accent, and his hair was declining. In a blink of an eye, he changed from an ignorant young man to his current half-life.

Situ Nan had the intention to refute, but he was not familiar with the other party, so it seemed that there was no need to explain his relationship with Mary?

Now it’s hello, and the tea is drunk. Now it’s time to get into business, right?Situ Nan thought, so he smiled and asked, "Today, what's the so-called not only the old gentleman's visit?"

"Haha!" Situ Meiden said with a big smile, "I heard in San Francisco some time ago that there is a good boss in Los Angeles. His factory recruited many Chinese workers and treated the Chinese white people equally. He also built a school for Los Angeles Chinatown. It’s a kind deed to let Chinese children have books to read. So I really admire it and want to visit. But I didn’t expect the other party to be a young talent, what a young man!"

"The old man passed the award, this is what I should do. Education in my opinion is the greatest charity!" Situ Nan smiled modestly.

Once when he was passing by Chinatown in Los Angeles, he saw many Chinese children playing in the street and didn't go to school. He felt sorry.

He later learned that the children's adults were busy with work and could not manage them, and the status of the Chinese here and the lack of teachers, the education of the second generation of Chinese was very problematic.

So he moved with compassion and donated to build a school so that these children have books to read.However, Situ Nan doesn't like the rigid education of classical Chinese and Sanzijing. Therefore, this school teaches according to the American education system, but there are more compulsory Chinese courses.

Although Chinese talents are discriminated against in the United States, education is a great deed. The school was built smoothly without any interference from the government.

In fact, the teachers of the school, with the exception of teachers called Chinese, many other teachers of physics, mathematics and other courses are served by church pastors.

Education changes destiny. Situ Nan only hopes that these Chinese children will become useful people to society, instead of living so hard like their parents.As for the rest, that is a question for God.

Chapter 27 Farewell, Situ Meideng!

Mary really entertained Situ Meideng with white sliced ​​chicken at noon. Although this woman had never heard of the phrase "grabbing a man's heart, you must grasp his stomach", but she can understand without a teacher.

She knew that Situ Nan liked Chinese food and spent a lot of time learning how to cook, which was really embarrassing for her.It's not easy to be a mistress these days!

Situ Nan was right. In addition to coming over and taking a look, Situ Meideng had some complicated thoughts.

how to say?He hoped that Situ Nan could be a helper for the revolution, but after meeting, he realized that this young man was very assertive, not someone who could be persuaded.

Moreover, the other party is very strong and is not taking the road of his own gang, so some words are difficult to say, after all, they are not too familiar with each other, and it is very bad to rely on the old and sell the old.

After the meal, I saw Situ Meideng sitting in the living room, frowning, a little hesitant.Situ Nan asked, "Old sir, is there anything difficult? Say it, maybe I can help one or two."

"Oh." Situ Meideng sighed, and said: "I am worried about the domestic situation! The Beiyang government is corrupt and incompetent, and the revolution in the South has many twists and turns. When will we make this country better!"

"Oh! Mr. cherishes his homeland, making the younger generation ashamed!" Situ Nan said.He thought to himself, this is the purpose of this person today, right?

"Last time I heard that my nephew donated 10,000 oceans to support the revolution?" Situ Meiden asked.

"Yes. But there is such a thing." Situ Nan nodded, thinking that the meat was coming.

"In that case, why not join our Revolutionary Party? Mr. Sun admires your young talent very much." Situ Meideng said bitterly.

"Hehe. Mr. laughed! I can't bear the heavy responsibility of the revolution! Besides, the younger generation is just a businessman. The last thing was just a little care, not for other things. It is not good to participate in other things." Situ Nan said politely.

Ask him to join the Revolutionary Party, he is respectable Xie Bumin.It's not that he doesn't have enthusiasm, but he knows that the mud can't support the wall.If you have time to do business, why do you send it to your door to be a sheep hu?

This is indeed a very selfish idea!Realistic too!These days, even if it is a passionate youth who travels through the novels and goes back to work in the revolution, they throw their heads and shed their blood for the country and the people, but how can they have no personal desires?

Situ Meideng was a little disappointed and sighed unwillingly: "The old man really hopes that young talents like you can join our revolutionary force! It's good to contribute to the country and the nation."

For this reason, the hat is a bit big, and Situ Nan had to answer, "Old Mr. Situ, your words make the younger generation ashamed. Maybe every descendant of Yan and Huang hopes that our nation will be strong, but the reality is very cruel. Very realistic.

With so many people in a country, everyone has a different idea. Not everyone agrees with a proposition, nor is it that everyone who agrees with the same proposition can work together and sacrifice.

This problem is too complicated, and it cannot be solved in a few words.Take you and me. Of course, I understand your spirit and enthusiasm, but it does not mean that I also agree with your approach.

Or even if I agree with your approach, it does not mean that I can do the same thing.This is the difference between each other.You are running for your ideals, but why don't I stick to my ideas?So there are some things that are hard to say now, leave time to prove it in the future!"

Situ Nan said sincerely, gazing at Situ Meideng, without retaining his determination.

That's it, needless to say.Although Stuart Meideng did not understand what Situ Nan said, the meaning in the words was clear.

Situ Meideng stayed in Los Angeles for three days. Situ Nan warmly entertained Situ Meideng and his party and led them to visit some of his factories.

Watching the tall chimneys, roaring machines, busy workers, and the scarlet hot molten iron flowing out, cooling into chunks of steel.

There is a saying that the development of productive forces is the driving force behind the progress of human civilization!That's right, the power of the great powers comes from their industrial strength, and steel is the backbone of the industry.

Situ Meideng felt that his trip was worthwhile. Modern industry contained tremendous power, which made him sigh, and he also felt the potential behind Situ Nan.

"Whenever there are a number of such steel plants in our motherland, we will stand up." Situ Meideng sighed.

Situ Nan smiled and said nothing. The United States is an industrial paradise. As long as there is money, almost any industry can be invested.

The stable order and the business atmosphere encouraged by the society not only led to Situ Nan, but also Europeans who immigrated to the United States in large numbers, hoping to realize their American dream in this land.

This is a steel plant located in the Fontana area less than 100 kilometers southeast of Los Angeles. After Situ Nan was taken over from the Fort Laus family, he continued to invest heavily, and the scale was also expanded, gradually becoming The largest steel plant in California.

Situ Nan's goal is to produce one million tons per year. It will be built in several phases. In order to build this steel base and then develop related industries around, Situ Nan almost spares no effort.

The results finally got a bit, but not enough!Situ Nan's steel (pig iron) output is considered small in the west, and it is incomparable to the steel complex giants in the east.

Under the somewhat instigated urging of the steel plant manager James, Situ Nan spent tens of millions of dollars into the steel plant.

Sometimes Situ Nan saw that he was smashing a lot of dollars. If it weren't for the factory to grow larger and the output slowly rising, he would really bleed in his heart. This is a sucking beast.

...

Situ Nan hoped that Situ Meideng and An Liangtang behind him could invest in industry. Now the US economy is very prosperous, and the small amount of money invested will soon be rewarded.

After all, the gangster society has no future. If the real society is not bleached and has no industrial support, it will ultimately be rootless.

Situ Meideng knew that this was Situ Nan's kindness, and it was related to the so many mouths behind him to support him, so he did not delay, squeezing out some funds and handing it over to Situ Nan to invest.

As a result, most of them were invested by Situ Nan in flour processing, textile industry and other light industries with immediate effect.

Societies such as Anliangtang have a fast turnover of funds, and it is impossible to invest in large-scale manufacturing fields such as steel, which are slow to work. Moreover, Situ Nan is not assured that the other party will enter his core enterprise.

To be honest, Situ Nan didn't want to be too close to the club, but it was impossible to have no contact at all. It would be better to take the initiative and grasp the limited cooperation between them.
