The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 104

"Let's sit there!" Situ Nan said.

He and Robles found a quieter corner and did it.

"There are really a lot of people today. I don't know some of them now." Robles looked around and said.

"Yeah." Situ Nan replied, and then said, "Yes, I think we invest in the coal business in the Pittsburgh area now. We can't get involved in the steel business here, but steelmaking requires a lot of coal, and Pittsburgh has a lot of high-quality coal. Coal, I think there is still something to do in this regard. What about you?"

Situ Nan asked.

"Now where do you have so much time and energy to do this, besides, Pittsburgh already has many families, they are very strong in these aspects, it is better to find a partner, if you just want to make some money." Robb Said.

"Is the Mellon family suitable?" Situ Nan asked.

"It's okay! But don't think about how big this business can be. According to me, it is easier to make money in any industry now. It is better to invest in coal than to invest in the emerging automobile power industry!"

Robles shook his head, not understanding that Situ Nan seemed to have changed a lot after a night.

"Oh, I think of someone coming. If you want to invest in the steel and coal industry in Pittsburgh, he should be the most suitable partner."

Roberts finished speaking and took a sip of wine. If Situ Nan hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that there was such an outstanding person in the area.

"Who?" Situ Nan asked.

"Charles Schwab!"

Situ Nan seemed to have heard the name somewhere, but couldn't remember it for a while. He shook his head, glanced at Robles, and waited for Robles to follow.

"You should have heard of Bethlehem Steel Company? His president is Charles Schwab. Charles Schwab was once the general manager of U.S. Steel, but he later fell out with the company’s boss, Morgan. Now, instead of U.S. Steel Corporation, he set up his own steel company to compete with U.S. Steel Corporation! It is said that he was the first person to dare to photograph the old Morgan table!" Robles said with a smile.

"Oh?" Situ Nan became interested, why didn't he know Bethlehem Steel Company?But he didn't expect this Charles Schwab to be such an interesting guy!

Well, dare to shoot old Morgan's table also shows that Charles Schwab is a stubborn guy, and also shows that this guy is very talented, otherwise he wouldn't make a giant like Bethlehem Steel.

To know the past life of Situ Nan, Bethlehem Steel Company was still a world steel giant, but a hundred years later, the American steel industry declined and Bethlehem Steel Company went bankrupt.

The current Bethlehem Steel Company is also a good steel company. Its scale is similar to that of the California Steel Company founded by Stuart. However, a California steel company in the west does not have many competitors. The current steel industry in the United States is very good. With the orders from the British, the California Steel Company had a good life.

If Situ Nan hadn't been tight, he wouldn't want to make money from the listing of California Steel Company.

It’s not just the California Iron and Steel company that has a good life. Now most of the steel companies in the United States have a good life, and Bethlehem Steel is no exception.

However, it is located in the northeastern industrial belt, so the competition is much fiercer than that of California Steel. The Big Mac of the U.S. Steel Company is pressing ahead, followed by Amco Steel, National Steel and Hui Ling-Pittsburgh Steel Company, Allegheny-Ledrum Industries, large steel companies, these steel giants have the background of consortia like Mellon Consortium, Rockefeller Consortium and Cleveland Consortium. The competition is very fierce. It might be swallowed.

"Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat small shrimps. Fierce competition is everywhere. It is like sailing against the current. If you do not advance, you will retreat. The law of the market is to survive the fittest. Therefore, Bethlehem Steel Company must annex if it wants to occupy a place in the eastern part of the giant steel giants. Other steel companies are already doing it, but this time when I was in New York, I heard that Charles Schwab was looking for people to raise money everywhere!

It is estimated that there is a lack of funds. You must know that Bethlehem Steel Company just annexed a large steel company in Pittsburgh six months ago. This time he has a new goal. To complete such an acquisition requires a large amount of funds. For you Isn't it a good opportunity?"

Roberts finished speaking and looked at Situ Nan encouragingly.

"Well! But with Bethlehem Steel's terms, it shouldn't be difficult to find the right investment? They will accept my investment?" Situ Nan asked.

"Hey! Ask the right person about this!"

Robles smiled, took a sip and said, "This has to be talked about by Charles Schwab. After he fell out with Old Morgan, he set up his own steel company, but the big steel company in the east They are all controlled by Morgan, Mellon, Cleveland and other consortiums. Charles Schwab has suffered a lot here. If you cooperate with those consortia, I am afraid that in the end they will swallow his steel company. So be wary.

This time he went to Wall Street instead of looking for Morgan and other consortia, but other investors, but this time he was going to use too much capital, and Wall Street was busy swallowing American bonds in the hands of the British, so Charlie Schwab did not find suitable financing for a while.

If we come forward, we should be sure that it will be quite big, provided that we will not interfere with his control of Bethlehem Steel.Otherwise the old boy would refuse."

Robles smiled and shook his head.

"How do you know this in detail?" Situ Nan said curiously, "Robos is too busy selling those US bonds. Why is there still time to pay attention to the steel industry?"

"Hey! After eating the $300 million bond, Robles Securities became a hit, and many people came to the door, including Charles Schwab. But I haven't responded to him yet. Yeah! Let this old boy cool for a few days!

Of course, an irresponsible hand-sweeping shopkeeper is not likely to pay attention to these things. People are busy raising a little mistress from Eastern Europe!"

Robles said that since Situ Nan came back from Morgan’s Pirate 3, the banner of Robes Securities fell on him again. When he was carrying so hard, Situ Nan was happy and happy. Luo Pers felt a little unbalanced, so he didn't let it go when he encountered a rare opportunity to hit Situ Nan.

Situ Nan didn't answer Robes' words. He was a bit sloppy about Kuzdova. He didn't expect that he had just caught a little beauty and then met Laura, an old lover. Is this damn peach blossom luck?He has always stood up like a jade.

Situ Nan touched his nose and looked at Roberts who was a little bit savory and said, "Well, okay, I admit that this is a good idea. This is yours. Go talk to him!"

Stuart knew that Charles Schwab, as Roberts said, was talented and stubborn, and he was not allowed to interfere with his decision-making power over Bethlehem Steel, so he didn't have the luxury of swallowing Bethlehem Steel. Go down.

However, after taking a stake in the Bethlehem Steel Company, it is equivalent to planting a nail there. Things are coming step by step. After 30 years in Hedong and Hexi, there will always be a chance to swallow it.

"Okay! I know what to do!" Robles probably knew what Situ Nan thought.

Talking about business on this occasion is something that friends like Situ Nan and Robles often do.

Chapter 77: Hawk's Ambition

After leaving the matter aside, Situ Nan thought to himself that there was something fun here, and he could take Laura to play.Dating, this kind of thing hasn't appeared in Situ Nan's life for a long time.

Mary is the first woman Situ Nan came to this world, and her maturity and stability embrace Situ Nan.For Situ Nan, Mary played the role of a sister who spoiled herself.Situ Nan has never gone out on a date with Mary, but this woman is very satisfied to take her and Tom to outdoor activities in her spare time.

As for the newly promoted mistress Kuzdova, Situ Nan did not have much affection, just raising a canary.

Men always have needs, especially successful men. Situ Nan is no exception, but he didn't expect to meet Laura soon!

This reunion rekindled Situ Nan's passion, and he also felt guilty for Laura in his heart.

But obviously this time Situ Nan won't let go anymore. Coming here is Laura still the first woman in the world to cause him insomnia.

This feeling is like a first love. When the time is free, the brain is turned over and over in the shadow of someone. Her smiles and frowns will be magnified and convoluted in the brain, and people will also become a little bit troubled.

What Situ Nan is most afraid of now is that Laura is already married as a woman. If this possibility is true, his love rival will be a male of the Mellon family. There is nothing worse than this!Situ Nan knows that there is nothing in this world for you, and sometimes miss it once and miss it for a lifetime.

But in any case, if Laura can be regained, Situ Nan will not be afraid of anyone remaining as an enemy, even if he is guilty with the Mellon family.

Situ Nan shook the glass, the scarlet liquor reflected Situ Nan's firm gaze, and he raised his head and drank it.

"Huh? Why is it him?"

Situ Nan saw a familiar person in the crowd-Hawke!

Seeing him talking and laughing with Richard, it is obvious that they are very familiar.

Tonight's Lord Hawke is handsome, and he is tall, standing in the crowd a bit differently.

Since the Titanic was gone, Situ Nan has never seen Hawke again, and unexpectedly bumped into him now, this world is so small!

Situ Nan sighed with emotion. Speaking of it, Situ Nan also followed Hawke's Heart of the Sea of ​​Diamonds. This thing was kept well by Situ Nan and never took it out.

At first, when Situ Nan hadn't made his fortune, this diamond was too big to be taken out. When he made his fortune, he didn't need to rely on this diamond for the first pot of gold, so the heart of the ocean stayed in the bank. The safe is out.

However, Situ Nan never thought of returning it to Hawke, because he hated Hawke's way of thinking that he would be able to stay high with money.Is it to return the Heart of the Sea to Rose?If Situ Nan hadn't cut Hus midway, Heart of the Sea should be in Rose's hands now.
