The journey starts from the Titanic

Hengmei coldly pointed at Qianfu, bowing his head to cultivate as an old scalper!

Chapter 45

Los Angeles Port Terminal at San Pedro Bay, Los Angeles, California.

Los Angeles is also the center of gravity for the trade, transportation, logistics, and warehousing industries on the West Coast of the United States, as well as the import and export trade center between the United States and Asia.

The Port of Los Angeles and Vice Port Long Beach in San Pedro are located to the south of the city. They are the largest seaports in the United States. A large number of cargoes destined for Asia and Europe set sail from here.

The sky is high and fresh, blue and far-reaching, making people fascinated.

The bright sunshine has given California a heavy harvest.

The grapes are ripe, the oranges are yellow, the fishing boats returning to the port are carrying the whole ship of seafood, and the factories are springing up like bamboo shoots after the rain.

The urban area is constantly widening, the roads are getting more and more spacious, there are more and more people, and more and more cars. Every time I look back, I find that the city has changed day by day, and people have to re-recognize the city.

This is a harvest season and a starting point for a fresh start.

"Go back! Goodbye, little Tom, you have to be obedient!" Situ Nan kissed little Tom, and Mary and Xiangu He and the others who had come to see him off said goodbye.

He Wenxiu did not come, he was on his way to San Francisco.

Situ Nan boarded the ship again, just like when the Titanic started, the first-class guests boarded directly from the trestle bridge, and Situ Nan discovered that someone was really holding their dog?

There is a good master, it seems that even the status of the dog is much higher!Although I don't want to admit it, it seems to be the case.

When Situ Nan was a crew member on the Titanic, every time he saw those ladies’ dogs sneaking on the deck, he was always upset.

However, people's mentality will also change with changes in status or status.

After gradually adapting to this change in status, things that seemed a little bit angry in the past have become a matter of course.

Also on the boat with Situ Nan was Song Meiling, the future first lady of China, after spending a pleasant vacation in Situ Nan, finally returning to the east.

What else can a bunch of wealthy people on the boat do besides bragging?

Of course, many people can still do exercises that are very beneficial to their health. They either bring their wives or their mistresses.

This is very important, Situ Nan has to admire their foresight, when can they enjoy this kind of treatment!

No intention to sleep!

The long journey has to find something to pass the time.

There are endless dances on the ship every day. Successful people will bring their beautiful female companions to the venue, gorgeous dance halls, lively music, and more or less the gentleness of men and ladies of women. The demeanor, the triumphant laughter mingled in a flamboyant dance, is enough to explain everything.

"I heard that Mr. Situ played a good piano. I don't know if I have a chance to see it in the future?" Song Meiling said.

"It's a great honor, I think there will be a chance." Situ Nan said.

The two of them danced to the beat and talked in whispers. There is a tacit understanding between them.

In a piece of white skin, the pair of golden boys and girls who look a little yellow can be regarded as a pair of bi people.

Situ Nan is actually not too keen on these entertainments, but as a businessman, this kind of communication is essential, and he will not reject it.

On the contrary, Song Meiling has created a little fame in the past few days on the ship. Her good education, elegant conversation, and enthusiasm for religion have conquered many people.

After the song, Situ Nan stopped to rest, leaving the tireless Song Meiling to show off in the ballroom. Well, this woman is very enthusiastic about these activities, and she worked hard to show off her charm.

This "helping husband luck" is really not built!

Seeing Song Meiling socializing among the successful people of etiquette and clutter, Situ Nan had to sigh with Jiang Baldou's good luck, no wonder Jiang Baldou, the love prodigal son, could turn back for Song Meiling!

Of course, Jiang Bald's vision is also good. Marrying a wife is equivalent to marrying 10 (or 100?) divisions, which is a real profit!It's a talent for both!

If Situ Nan didn't like this kind of pushy woman, and he didn't lack these 10 teachers, he really wanted to pry the bald guy into the corner!

"Your dancing partner is good! What a charming woman! And a woman with oriental mystery!" A voice sounded nearby.

Who is this person?

When Situ Nan looked back, she was really an acquaintance!

"Mr. Francis, please sit down!"

Situ Nan didn't comment on what he said, and warmly entertained Francis to sit down.In Los Angeles, the two knew each other and had a cooperative relationship.

Francis is the owner of a shipyard in Los Angeles. His Francis shipyard is the largest shipyard on the west coast. Although the shipbuilding industry on the west coast is not as good as the east, there is a gap between the francis shipyard and the big shipyards in the east, but it should not be underestimated. .

Francis Shipyard has built ships for the Navy!The famous Great White Fleet has many destroyers and torpedo ships from the Francis Shipyard in Los Angeles.

A shipyard that can produce warships cannot do without a certain level of technology and scale, and it is impossible to get orders from the Navy without strong connections.

You must talk about relationships wherever you do business.

Politicians and businessmen are like clients and prostitutes, born as a pair, each takes what they need, and each benefits each other. It's just that the food in the United States is better, and the game competition is relatively fair.

Therefore, I dare not neglect Francis Stuart.

"Stimulated by the war, the shipbuilding industry in the United States is booming. With a steady stream of merchant ships and a series of groundwaters, Mr. Francis's business should be good!"

Situ Nan complimented, and to be honest, he was a little envious.

"Haha, it's okay! I have recently received orders for several freighters, each of which has more than 10,000 tons, and I want to sell steel to your steel plant! We are old friends, the price can be more favorable! "

Francis smiled rather than smiled.

Damn, the price of steel has risen again recently, which undoubtedly increases the cost of shipbuilding, and the need to ship steel from distant eastern cities such as Pittsburgh will cost a lot of shipping costs. It is better to purchase from a local steel company nearby.

With sufficient financial support in the past two years, Situ Nan's Bok Steel Plant (which was originally bought from Bok, the name has not been changed), under James' conscientious management, has an annual steel output of almost one million tons.

It has grown from a small and medium-sized steel plant to a steel complex. Now California and several western states have monopolized most of the steel orders by Bock Steel Plant. This butterfly wing is a bit powerful.

Situ Nan has always supported technology research and development, and Bok Steel has also established its own metallurgical research institute.

At the beginning, a lot of technical equipment was bought from the steel manufacturers in the east at a high price, but after absorbing a large number of talents, the Bok Steel Plant has already mastered the technology of others.

The special envoy was the Bock Institute of Metallurgical Research and the University of California, and the Bock Steel Plant was able to produce even steel plates for ships.

There is no way. Situ Nan used money to get it. He spent 50 million US dollars on the Bok Steel Plant, and the construction cost was also much higher in order to catch up with the construction period.

If it weren't for World War I and the price of steel in the United States rose, Stuart's investment at almost no cost might have lost money!

The crashing silver slipped in, and now it was finally flowing out. Why didn't Situ Nan be irritated, so he set out with a happy mood.

Francis Shipyard has cooperated with Bok Steel Works several times, and slowly tasted the sweetness, so it is not surprising to find his boss Situ Nan.
