The journey starts from the Titanic

Speaking of which, this is really an era where discrimination is everywhere!On passenger ships, the yellow race would not be allowed to make first-class cabins, even if Situ Nan paid the high price, the shipping company would not agree.At first, in order to get on the boat as soon as possible and avoid Rocky, Situ Nan and the group rushed to board the boat, but did not care.Situ Nan could get the first class ticket, but He Xiangu, Xu Zhouyang, and Song Meiling could only stay in the second class. This was Situ Nan's fight.

In the past few days, pouring tea, handing water, dressing and eating, and some people are taking care of him. Now that there is no He Xiangu by his side, Situ Nan is a little uncomfortable.

People are always used to comfortable enjoyment!

"Zhou Yang, I want to ask you a question. Do you think it's better to build an automobile factory in Los Angeles or California or go to Detroit in the east? Is there any advantage in setting up an automobile industry here?" This question was considered by Stuart for a long time. , Still did not make up his mind.

This question is really hard to say.Although Xu Zhouyang has good accomplishments in internal combustion engine research, he is not too sure about issues involving industrial layout.

After pondering for a while, Xu Zhouyang said: "The only consideration is raw materials, production and market.

Automobile raw materials are mainly steel. In this respect, California is inferior to Eastern industrial cities such as Detroit. Large American steel companies are mostly located in industrial areas like the Great Lakes. Detroit's automobiles can easily get the support of the surrounding supporting industries.

Especially after so many years of development, Detroit's auto companies have trained a large number of skilled workers. This is incomparable to our west.

Steel production and machinery manufacturing, both in terms of scale and technology, do not have the advantages of large eastern industrial cities..."

Xu Zhouyang paused for a moment, and after sighing the advantages of Detroit's auto industry, he then changed the subject: "In fact, it is not impossible to set up an auto industry in California.

Although California's industry developed relatively late, and the time gap with the eastern cities has caused it to lag behind in industrial production, this backwardness is not absolute. Given time, everything will catch up.

In more than ten or two decades, I believe that California's industrial development will be even higher, and it will not be too difficult to develop the automobile industry.

California railways and roads and other transportation are very developed. In addition to trains, cars are also important means of transportation, which indicates that cars will become popular in this country.

More and more people choose to travel by car, thus gradually abandoning the traditional carriage, especially those farmers who can quickly transport their agricultural products to cities for sale.

As far as I know, in some parts of Southern California, some horse-drawn carriage shops have imitated the Eastern Motor Company and changed horse-drawn carriages into cars.However, the scale is not large. If there is sufficient funds to integrate them, it is estimated that a good car company can be developed.

In fact, with the development of industry and the expansion of enterprises, factories will not be concentrated in their original places, but will spread, especially to set up their production bases near the market.

My conclusion is that if you want to see immediate results, acquiring a car factory in the eastern industrial cities of Detroit is the best choice.

If you are not in a hurry for success and have the patience to work hard in California for more than ten or twenty years, your achievements will not be bad. After all, the potential of Los Angeles lies."

"Okay! Zhou Yang! Having said so much, it seems that it would be a waste of you not to engage in business and research." Situ Nan said jokingly, "How about you become the general manager of the future automobile company?"

"I can't do it, talk about it, it's okay to talk about it, I can't do it if I want to practice it. Besides, these are the results of discussions with my school tutors and classmates, and we are doing research on internal combustion engines. Industry knowledge. I, I'd better do research."

Xu Zhouyang waved his hand quickly, and after getting in touch with Situ Nan, he spoke more directly.Xu Zhouyang has not stayed in his uncle’s restaurant in vain these days. After Situ Nan left, he even inquired about Situ Nan. Although it is not very clear, one thing is certain is that Situ Nan is really pretty. rich.

Now that the U.S. industry is booming, the economy is booming, and investment in almost all walks of life is making money. Situ Nan’s proposal to run a car is true.This is the second time they have touched on this topic.

However, in my heart, technical research to create a larger, stronger and more efficient engine is what Xu Zhouyang is interested in, not just cars, but things have to come step by step.

Xu Zhouyang was right. He really didn't understand investment and management, so Situ Nan didn't plan to discuss these business matters with him. The two also talked about airplanes from cars.

The twentieth century is really the era of internal combustion engines. With the power of engines becoming more and more powerful, humans can not only run on land but also fly to the sky, drill into the sea, and expand the battlefield into the sky and the sea.

At the beginning of the war, the aircraft was only used for reconnaissance. Even if the two sides were killed on the ground, the pilots of the two sides in the sky greeted enthusiastically when they met each other!

However, since a German pilot raised his hand in the air to greet a French pilot in accordance with the usual practice, but was ignored by the other party, and even took out his pistol and fired himself. This kind of "friendly" encounter has completely changed. .

The hot face was not only attached to the cold ass, but also the cold ass shot at him. The German pilot was naturally furious, and he also raised the gun to shoot at the opponent.It's a pity that shooting with a pistol in the air is like hitting a mosquito with a cannon. I didn't say hitting a mosquito. Even a shadow is hard to see. I don't know if the bullet shot will hit someone on the ground.

But this probability is too small!It is said that Newton suddenly resuscitated his head because he was smashed by an apple. (Newton was said to be stupid when he was a child, and he was not smart at all. Einstein was also like this. Is it possible that geniuses are stupid when they were young?) He discovered gravity.

If it was not an apple that hit him, but a bullet shot by a furious but ineffective guy above, I wonder if he would discover the second law: F=ma?Unless he has practiced iron head skills, otherwise he will have a brain jump!

Well, it's a bit verbose, let's look at the sky.

A great warrior, a warrior soaring in the sky!After the two pilots on both sides struggled, they fired empty pistols, and after wasting the bullets, no one could help. After greeting each other's female relatives and friends kindly, they could only shake the wings and flew back angrily.

It hurts!However, for the first time a human being took the beam in the air, there will be less to talk next time, see if I will rush you with my gun!

In this regard, romantic French people drink coffee and tease women in Paris. It's okay for Hans, the German, to play with machines. After they install a shooting coordinator in the front of the plane, the machine gun can fire bullets from the front of the plane.

The poor Frenchman, originally he prepared two pistols, shot left and right, and driven with two feet. For this reason, he practiced hard for a long time, just to teach the German a lesson.

I didn't expect the other party to be so shameless that they installed all the machine guns on the plane. Isn't this chivalry at all?The Count of Monte Cristo had to throw his handkerchief on the opponent's face before the duel. Now this...

I don’t know if this is the case. The French hated airplanes. It should be said that they were German airplanes. After the war, they took apart the German airplanes and used them as firewood!Germans, don't even think about owning a plane!

Situ Nan found that his divergent thinking was really good. It should be said that it was a little serious. From the car to the airplane, he also thought of such a rich plot from the airplane.

It seems that Einstein is also a great divergent thinking person?

Otherwise, I won't win the Explosives Award twice!Does he have a profound theoretical talent?Do you want to use the photoelectric effect and the theory of relativity to bluff people?

Well, Situ Nan can't do the specific theoretical experiment, but he still knows the general meaning. It seems to find a "gunner" to polish it and sort it out, "Dude, remember to sign my name, everyone will publish it together", isn't it? Become the first Chinese to win the Explosives Award!

What an accomplishment!Be proud!?Maybe you can marry an 18-year-old white and tender little sister when you live to 81!There are 15, 13 is the best!

The little sister is gone now. When Situ Nan was talking with Xu Zhouyang, except for Han Gang who was not far from Situ Nan, He Xiangu had already left wittily.

Just find Xu Zhouyang!Ready-made, after all, his theoretical level is much better than himself!

After talking about cars, engines, airplanes, and a few melamine meals before getting cancer, Situ Nan told Xu Zhouyang some theories that seemed to be winning.

But it seemed too advanced. Xu Zhouyang was not familiar with these fields, and didn't know what Situ Nan was talking about, so he didn't take it seriously.

"I really want to plant flowers without blooming! Xu Zhouyang, you're a treasure, you won't be able to marry the white tender and crisp, don't blame buddies for not taking care of you!" Seeing Xu Zhouyang not calling, Situ Nan also stopped the prank idea.

Although there is no bomb prize, he is not a "patent control" like Edison. Situ Nan is just a businessman who sometimes loves fantasy, but returns to thinking about reality but is shrewd and pragmatic.

He didn't get nothing. On the ship back to Los Angeles, Situ Nan had made up his mind to invest in cars, just in California.Even an airplane giant like Boeing can grow up in California, but Situ Nan doesn't believe that he can't even make a car.

Even if it fails to develop for a while, at least plant the seeds.

However, the best regional choice for investment in automobiles is the Great Lakes Industrial Zone in the east. Detroit, Michigan is the auto city of the United States, and most American car companies have developed from Detroit.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, automobiles were still a young industry, and even the most luxurious cars nowadays were scorned by Situ Nan.

Just take a look at Ford’s Model T cars to know how rudimentary cars are now. Four wheels, one engine, plus a chain, two gears, without a cover, are still running around the world.

The shock absorption is not good, it hurts!After Situ Nan tried it once, he lost interest in Model T cars.

However, Model T cars are cheap and solid, so many Americans like them. In particular, farmers often drive Model T cars to bring crops such as potatoes and corn harvested from the fields to the city to buy.It is said that there are people who pull pigs, but Situ Nan has never seen it.

Compared with Ford’s Model T, GM’s Buick is more luxurious and looks better, making it easier for Situ Nan to accept it.There are also two luxury Buicks in his home that are not luxurious at all. Drive one, put one, and it’s worth collecting.

There is also a truck, Dodge brand, famous brand!But not so, just use it!

As for the Model T car, it was regarded as a collection by Situ Nan, and it was placed in the garage for maintenance by the servants of the family.

There is no man who doesn't love cars. Almost every new car Situ Nan doesn't let it go. Fortunately, he can afford it.

And more and more cars mean that his oil company is developing better.Therefore, Situ Nan still has a high desire to invest in automobiles.
