The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 120

Situ Nan suddenly hugged Laura and turned a few times in the air.

"Let me down quickly, someone is watching!"

"Let them see, let them envy!"

After spinning around for a few times, Situ Nan was a little dizzy, and his body was a little weak. During this period of time...that...

"Is it all right?"

Laura looked at Situ Nan with a bit of heartache. She was hugged by Situ Nan and made a fuss. She was also a little gasped. The plumpness on her chest was constantly undulating, her face was as drunk and red, and her charming and charming appearance was truly charming. Coupled with the pity of looking at herself, Situ Nan couldn't help himself.

After Situ Nan's nourishment, Laura became more coquettish, like a splendid rose blooming in the winter!

Situ Nan was proud, and thought, this effort was not in vain.

It's a bit cold here in Niagara, but it's not bad to come over in summer to escape the heat.Besides, there are still good memories of them here. Why buy that hotel?

This thought flashed across Situ Nan's mind.

When the car was just started, a man in his 20s and 30s rushed out of the hotel. He patted the window and motioned for the car to stop.

"What's the matter?" Situ Nan remembered that this was the owner of that hotel?

Situ Nan stopped Han Gang's alert in time. Just now, Han Gang was about to get out of the car to subdue the man who rushed up.

I saw the man take a breath and smiled and said, "It's a phone call! I'm calling from New York, and I'm looking for Mr. Stoneney!"

Situ Nan took a look at the man who suddenly appeared before him. The sky was full, his appearance was handsome, and his piercing eyes were impressive.

There is still some sweat on his head. It is estimated that he ran too fast just now. Situ Nan felt a little admiration in his heart. This person is quite responsible.

In these days, although the hotel is not very luxurious, the service is very enthusiastic, giving Situ Nan a good impression.

"Thank you, sir. Is the other party still online?" Situ Nan asked, probably Robles calling.

"No, but he asked you to call this number back." After speaking, the man took out a piece of paper, and Situ Nan looked at the number on it, and it turned out to be Robles' call.

"Hey, Robles? I almost left this damn place just now. I didn't expect you to call, did the matter come to fruition?" Situ Nan picked up the microphone and asked.

"Yes, this time our opponent is the Eaton family in Cleveland. Kodak's affairs were planned by the Patriarch of the Eaton family, Sam Eaton. He has a good vision, but unfortunately his luck was a bit bad." Robles said lightly.

"Okay, I see! Is there anything else?" Situ Nan hurried into the car, so he stopped talking nonsense with Robles.

"By the way, there is another situation that the Eaton family has a good relationship with the Mellon family. This Sam Eaton is still Andrew’s old classmate!" Roberts reminded, "Why don't you go back and ask Andrew and explore Sam? Eaton’s tone, if possible, we can negotiate to buy their shares."

"Well, I know! Nothing like this beforehand. I will call you at night when I go back. Well, wait, Eastman has already returned to New York. I'll leave it to you two to discuss the follow-up of Kodak, but I suggest Leave Kodak to Eastman to manage it."

Situ Nan almost forgot to say hello to Robles.

"Okay! You are my boss, you have the final say." Robles smiled readily on the phone, and hung up with a beep.

"This guy, how come he hangs up first every time!" Situ Nan slandered.

When he went out to the door, Situ Nan met the man who had just chased him, "Welcome to come again next time!" The man said sincerely.That smile is as comfortable as the winter eyes.

Situ Nan had to admit that the other party's service was good and felt a little at home.

"Thank you for the call just now!" Situ Nan smiled and shook hands, then asked casually, "By the way, what is your name?"

"Conrad Hilton," Conrad replied.

"Conrad Hilton?" Situ Nan thought for a moment, as if the founder of the Hilton Hotel Kingdom in the previous life was named Conrad Hilton?Could it be this guy?

Situ Nan stared at Conrad with scorching eyes, but there are too many Westerners with the same name and surname. Situ Nan dare not confirm whether this man is the founder of the Hilton Hotel Kingdom. In fact, he does not know Conrad Hilton too well. I have only heard of this name and knew that the guy is very good at running a hotel.

"You said it was Conrad Hilton?" Situ Nan asked again.

"Yes, sir. Would you like to ask if I can help you?" Conrad kept smiling even though he was a bit slippery when he was stared at by a man.

"Oh! No, thank you. What I want to say is...well, your service is very good." Situ Nan touched his nose, and couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"My dear, can you go?" Laura urged her head out of the car window.

"Okay." Situ Nan replied, then looked back at Conrad, he was still wondering if this guy was the Hilton who opened the hotel very well.

However, even if it wasn't, just with the enthusiasm that he had just ran out to chase himself, and the smile on his face, there is no need for the famous Hilton in the previous life, right?

Thinking of this, Situ Nan pulled out a gilded business card from his pocket and stuffed it to Conrad, "This is my business card. If you have anything to do, come to New York or Los Angeles to find me. I will come to Niagara next time. play."

After speaking, Situ Nan got into the car and left.

Conrad Hilton looked at the car going away, a little surprised and inexplicable. Well, the man was a little weird just now, but looking at him with a stunning beauty, he should not have that kind of hobby.Why did he give himself a business card?

Conrad can't think of a bird, but this card is quite exquisite, and it's not a common product at first sight!It reads Stoney William, and there is also an address and phone number.

But Conrad is not concerned about this, but the yellow luster!He bit, and immediately cursed: "This rich man is really a prodigal son, he actually uses gold as a business card! It's worth more than ten dollars!"

Finally he carefully put the business card in his pocket.

Chapter 91 The Stifling American Steel Returning to Pittsburgh

Situ Nan returned to Pittsburgh again.

The time came to mid-January of 1917, and the long winter had not passed. The entire Pittsburgh was covered with snow, and when you looked around, it was white.The so-called "silver-covered plain, frozen for thousands of miles" probably means this.

A few days ago, Pittsburgh also experienced heavy snow for more than ten days like Niagara, so Situ Nan saw the branches of the trees on the side of the road bend strongly, with heavy snow pressed on them.

Due to the latitude, Pittsburgh in the south of Niagara feels warmer.

Pittsburgh is a big city after all. It is much more lively than Niagara. Despite the cold weather, there are still a lot of vehicles on the street.I don't want the remote Niagara, like a countryside, without much anger.

After Christmas, the factory returned to work, and the workers had to crawl out of the warm blankets and return to the cold machines. Only hard work was the guarantee for their family's survival.

The rumble of the machine became the main theme of Pittsburgh, and the tall chimneys of the factory gave out bursts of smoke, which slowly spread and stained the sky with a gray.

The cold air seems to have a faint smell of boilers. This is the power of industry and the pulse of this era.

When passing through the Saskohana River, Situ Nan looked at the dense plant area of ​​the American Steel Plant on the opposite bank and occupied the entire river area, unable to see the end, and was shocked.Of course, there was a little envy in the shock.

No wonder even Andrew Mellon is obsessed with this steel giant!It is too majestic and huge!Had it not been for a Morgan family standing behind U.S. Steel, it is estimated that the ambitious Mellon family would have already acquired it.Who can be indifferent to such a sweet pastry standing in front of the house?

Although in the past two years, the California Iron and Steel Company has developed rapidly. Situ Nan invested more than 100 million U.S. dollars for the expansion of the original Bok Steel Plant. The California Iron and Steel Company's output exceeded one million tons and the annual revenue exceeded 100 million U.S. dollars. Situ Nan's 100 million US dollars investment for several consecutive years finally paid off and began to make a profit, instead of absorbing Situ Nan's large amount of funds like a bottomless pit.

It is expected that in the next two years of 1917 and 1918, the US demand for steel will further expand, and the scale of California steel will also expand accordingly. It is not impossible to double after the war.

It sounds like California Steel is really good, but when compared with U.S. Steel, the gap comes out.Through internal relations, Situ Nan learned the operating status of U.S. Steel last year.

U.S. Steel Corporation has monopolized the U.S. steel industry since the Carnegie era, and its output once accounted for more than 90% of the U.S. steel output.
