The journey starts from the Titanic

This is what happened in real history.But can they escape Situ Nan's clutches this time?

Chapter 108 Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company

In fact, Davis is also fooling around. The aircraft company in Los Angeles hasn't made a word yet. It's just a concept in Situ Nan's mind. He mentioned it to Davis, and now it happens to be used by Davis to fudge. Leland and his son.

However, Davis is not completely fooled. Situ Nan has already started the related work. The aircraft company just lacks a palm rest.

Situ Nan would not take care of the newly-built aircraft company in the future. He was too busy with his business. It was just that in the early stage, he had to plan and not exceed his expectations, so he did not interrupt Davis. If it does, he nods and smiles instead.

"Cummins Power Co., is that the company that has successively acquired several auto parts factories in Detroit some time ago?" Wilver Leland asked.

Not only him, but other car giants in Detroit have also heard about it.They know that there will be a new competitor.

"Yes. And I also participated in many negotiations. Although our Cummins Power Company is a young company, its strength is obvious to all. The company that can smash $2 million in a week is also in Detroit. Not many, right? And this is just the beginning." Davis said proudly.

"Yeah." Lelan and his son nodded.He was busy arguing with Durant some time ago. Although he had also heard of Cummins Power Company from the west, he had not paid much attention.

Their father and son are no strangers to Davis Anderson. It turns out that everyone belongs to General Motors. Although they are not very familiar, they are also heard.Well, their father and son know Davis's feat at General Motors, even half of the industry inside Detroit knows it.

If it wasn't for General Motors to suppress the matter internally because it was afraid that the incident would damage the company's image, Davis might have to go to court.After all, not everyone has the magnificent treatment of being dragged all the way from the office to the workshop in full view. It is also the blame for the fat pig to be too harsh and the staff is too bad, so no one stops wearing it. Weiss' madness.

The Leland father and son just didn’t expect that after they left GM, Davis left GM recently. They said that they were "the same people who fell into the world." They have a little bit of fate, so they have a positive "leadership" for Davis. "Also very enthusiastic.

There were four people in the room, basically Davis and Leland's son Wilfer were talking, and Situ Nan and Old Leland were silent.

Compared with Davis, who is sharp and sharp, Old Leland pays more attention to Situ Nan, who is elegant and calm when sitting in front of him.He thinks this young man is not easy.

Although he was silent, he should be like himself, and the conversation between Davis and Wilfer next to him was not missed.

This is old Leland's intuition.

He believed that he was right, because Situ Nan's deep eyes made Old Lilan feel like he was facing an unfathomable sea.

Old Lilan is over 70 years old and has seen countless people in his life. This is the first time he has seen such a temperament in Situ Nan.

In this way, it is a kind of self-confidence force, which gives people the feeling that he will be successful.

When Old Leland was observing Situ Nan, Situ Nan was also secretly paying attention to this old man with white beard and hair and wearing a pair of gold glasses. Through the thin lens, he seemed to be able to see a thorough and sophisticated inside. heart.

Situ Nan smiled gently and said sincerely: "Mr. Leland created a car brand with high quality, precision and luxury like Cadillac. This achievement is enviable.

What I admire most is Mr. Leland's pioneering spirit and never admit defeat. It is hard to imagine that an old man over 70 has an enterprising spirit that is not a young man.

After he resolutely left General Motors, he was ready to break into the field of aircraft engines.This reminds me of the Westward Movement several decades ago. Tens of thousands of Americans with blue wisps of roads and blue wisps of roads went west with a dream. They conquered forests, grasslands, deserts, lakes, and conquered. Difficulties, large and small, finally reached the vast west, where they lived a prosperous life with their labor.

Hard work and pioneering spirit have made this great country, and at the same time inspiring generations of Americans. Today in Mr. Leland, I was inspired by this spirit.

I believe that if both of us can cooperate sincerely, Mr. Leland, and all of us will achieve a great cause.Is not it?Mr. Leland."

Situ Nan said confidently.He sincerely looked at the old man with white temples and still piercing eyes.

His self-confidence and passion impressed Lilan and his son.In Situ Nan, they seemed to have returned to the glorious years when Cadillac was founded.

Situ Nan said so much, but it was actually not entirely to please Henry Leland, but just sent it out with feelings.

Regarding the justice or evil of the Westward Movement in the United States, different people stand on different positions and conclude differently, but in Situ Nan’s view, it is a magnificent epic and passionate adventurous pioneering movement in decades. Forged Americans' pursuit of wealth and adventurous character.

Take Lelan and his son, one of them is in their 70s and the other is in their 40s and 50s, and they still have ambitions to create another career after they are successful.

This is rare in other countries and nations. When most people are at this age of knowing the destiny, they are getting closer and closer to God. Who is so busy?Even if you have the heart, you are powerless.

"Haha. Thank you Mr. William for your compliment." Leland was screamed at point G by Situ Nan's words. He was more satisfied with Situ Nan, and it was rare that his thoughts were understood.Even Davis and Wilfer were impressed.

This is a young man doing big things, Old Lelan thought to himself, he felt a little bit late to see each other.

The next thing was much simpler, and the two parties quickly reached a cooperation agreement: Cummins Dynamics purchased a 51% stake in Lincoln Company for $3 million. The new company was renamed Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company. The company’s president was replaced by Henry · Leland served.But in fact most of the matters are left to his son Wilfer Leland.

In principle, if the company’s management does not deviate from the direction set by Situ Nan, Situ Nan promises that the parent company Cummins Power will not dictate the operation of the Leland father and son, but the parent company will take the financial affairs in the hands of the new company. It will be closely integrated with the Cummins Power Research Institute under the parent company Cummins Power Company.

Under the strong request of Situ Nan, the new Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company will move to Long Beach, far south of Los Angeles, where Situ Nan's planned aircraft production base in California.

Long Beach is close to the port, with well-developed transportation and backed by the increasingly developed Southern California machinery manufacturing center. The surrounding large and small supporting industries are closely integrated with a series of industries such as Situ Nan's California Steel Company.

In the future, the electronics industry will also rise there, but it will take time to realize it.

No one can reach the sky in one step.

Situ Nan is no exception. Although he can mark several important oil producing areas in the United States at once, he cannot extract all the underground oil, nor can he extract the crude oil all at once. You can't throw beans into soldiers, and open gas stations one by one all over the world.

Even so, the development of Situ Nan, who used gold fingers at the beginning, is already super fast. His industry has expanded several times in just a few years. If it weren’t for a good time, things might not have gone so smoothly. .

The current situation in the United States is like this. Consortia, large and small, are now busy making European money.They all operate comfortably on their own three-acre land, and they rarely have the energy to go to other people's land for food.Most of them will open their fangs and devour each and every fresh prey when the economy is in recession, because the cost is relatively low.

And everyone is eagerly waiting for the next bigger feast after the United States enters the war!So for the time being, no Eastern family went to California to spoil the situation.Situ Nan can enjoy a good time.

Indeed, before a strong foreign consortium joined, Southern California around Los Angeles was dominated by the Situ Nan consortium.Putting these properties in his old woman Situ Nam still feels more comfortable.Local politicians and local companies, large and small, all revolve around Situ Nan’s California consortium, just like Wall Street revolves around Morgan’s ass.

Besides, California was originally the American aircraft manufacturing center, petrochemical center, and high-tech center in history. The arrival of Situ Nan just brought all of these things in advance.

As to whether the US imperialism will be made stronger, this question is not worth considering.With or without Situ Nan, the results are actually the same.

"California is now developing rapidly. After the steel base is built, machinery manufacturing, airplanes, shipbuilding, railways, highways, and petrochemical industries will flourish. It will catch up with the east in more than ten or twenty years."

Situ Nan said confidently.

He just gave a detailed introduction to the development situation in California. In fact, many of his initiators are not too clear.

With the passage of time, he found that in California, the historical impression was gradually out of touch with the world he currently lives in.

After listening to Situ Nan’s introduction of the state of California’s development, Old Leland was very excited. He didn’t expect California to develop so rapidly. If he really wanted what Situ Nan said, wouldn’t it be his ideal aircraft base? ?

Old Leland did not expect that before going to see God, he would be able to carry out the "Westward Movement" of the Leland family.

Chapter 109 Stunning Unrestricted Submarine Warfare

A week later, after the impatient Leland father and son arrived in Chicago and Xu Zhouyang round, they went to California non-stop to start his career.

The new company also moved to Long Beach, California, where Situ Nan had everything prepared for them.

Farewell again!

The Detroit River Pier is filled with busy ships.Passengers or cargo travel eastward through Lake Michigan by the canal to New York, or southward by the canal into the Mississippi River, and then all the way south to the southern seaport of New Orleans, and then sent to all parts of the world.

"Mr. Leland, everything in Los Angeles is ready for you. I hope Cummins-Lincoln can install the company's flagship product V8 engine on the plane as soon as possible." Situ Nan exhorted.

Smart people don't need to point too deeply, Situ Nan will know when he talks about old Lelan.

"Hmm. Don't worry, I'm more anxious than you!" Old Henry Leland joked, appearing confident.
