The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ Nan shook his head, walked to the chair on the deck and lay down, took a sip of wine to relax.

"This time I did a good job. I bought 15 ships from the Germans for a total of 200,000 tons. It cost less than 15 million US dollars. It's really worth it."

"Hey!" Gudas smiled triumphantly, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip and smiled, "At first, the Germans were pretty stubborn, and they said they wouldn't sell them if they were killed.

These people are not stupid. Now that the shipping market is booming, their ships are also valuable. Even if they can't run the routes between Europe and the United States, they just refuse to let them go, and would rather rot in their hands!

I said to Hans that I broke my mouth and remained indifferent.Especially the hapless guy Hans, who incited the German merchant ship owner to sell the ship to the Americans, was about to be criticized by his compatriots by pointing his nose to "devil"!Who doesn't know that Americans and British people wear half pants?Well, the other half is worn by the French.

However, since the Zimmermann incident, things have changed dramatically.The White House finally did something decent. When it warned yesterday and protested today, its tone became tougher and harder. The newspapers were everywhere advocating war with Germany, isn't it?The Germans started to be anxious and asked if we wanted their boats. They were willing to sell them at low prices.

Two days after Hans and I cooled the gang, the gang was almost crying and insisted on selling the merchant ship to us.Haha, it's so funny.Don't you know, those people talk so much, and Hans the'virtuous traitor' suddenly became their respected compatriot again!Haha..."

"Who is'virtuous'!" Suddenly a voice rang in Gudas' ear.

Well, it seemed to have some murderous aura, which made Gadas' arrogant laughter abruptly stopped.

"It's Hans! By the way, did you sleep well last night? Today's weather is good!" Guadas said in other ways, obviously pretending to be garlic.

"Originally slept well, but when I got up early in the morning, I heard a certain crow's mouth say something'virtuous'? I want to crush him, can you say it?" Hans sullenly looked a little smelly. It gurgled while breaking his fingers.

Gudas made a gesture of the body shape of the two sides, and found that the gap was still quite large, and his tone became weaker: "Isn't this a slip of the tongue? Hans, don't be so stingy. I have helped you a lot with this matter. !"

"Come less! That's your job, isn't it? There will be another time, don't blame me for being disobedient!" Hans said bitterly, buying his country’s merchant ships and using them to deal with his country. For Hans, who was educated in Prussia, it was a difficult decision.

The word "virtue and traitor" that Gudas said deeply hurt the German man's heart. Although it would not affect his actions, he felt uncomfortable after all.

"Well, Hans, early in the morning, please be happy, don't think so much!" Situ Nan smiled and poured Hans a glass of wine, "This time I did a great job! Especially Hans, your hard work It is obvious to all. I respect you for this cup!"

"Thank you." Hans was a little flattered, feeling better after a glass of wine, and then took another sip.

"I am going to register a shipping company in Panama to run Atlantic routes. The Americans are going to fight, and our shipping company will follow suit. Although there are some risks, I think it is worth it.

By the way, according to the agreement, each of you will each receive a 5% commission of the funds saved in this plan. Now you are given two choices, one is cash, and the other is to exchange these rewards for shares in the new company."

Situ Nan said.

He thought a lot just now in the bow, and also considered the follow-up plan for the acquisition of German merchant ships.

At first, because of the German submarine, the shipping company in California had been running the Pacific and South American routes, and was afraid to go to Europe.

Now Gadas and Hans have taken advantage of the low price acquisition of a batch of German merchant ships stranded in the United States before the US government starts, and Stuart’s thinking has also changed.

The Pacific route is also a bit saturated now, and I can't absorb so many ships at once, so I can only run the routes between the east and west coasts of the United States.

This idea is very good. If it were before, Situ Nan would definitely implement it without hesitation, but after contact with the Roosevelt family, he understood that his every move fell into the eyes of others.

This time, he succeeded in opportunism again and bite the German merchant ship that the government was preparing to requisition for free. It must be hidden from the people.

No one is a fool.Once things are too scary, they will be hated by people, and there are still many projects that require official support. So Situ Nan thought that it would be better to directly convert some of these ships into oil tankers and expand the fleet of Occidental Petroleum, especially It is to increase Occidental Petroleum's exports to Asia.

The remaining ships will be used to run the Atlantic route, which can be regarded as serving the war!If you are lucky, you can make a lot of money.As for Situ Nan, the person in charge of the New Atlantic Air Lines company, he already has a better candidate in his mind, and it depends on whether he is willing or not.

I haven't seen Murdoch for several years. I wonder if he is okay?

However, it is better to set up an insurance company. Now that the Atlantic route is so busy, although the German submarine has been exerting great power, it still cannot resist people's risks. A company that opens marine insurance should also be profitable.

Situ Nan secretly made up his mind and prepared to discuss with Robles to see if he could let Robles Securities Company expand its business scope.

"Why go to Panama to register? So troublesome!" Gudas puzzled.

"Stupid! In the event of a war, the government may unconditionally requisition American merchant ships. If they are accidentally sunk by the enemy, the compensation will not be much.

If it is registered in another country, the government will be somewhat hesitant.Don't understand such a simple truth?"Hans said with a look of disdain, and hitting Gudas made him feel a little happy.

"What, I'm stupid! What's so magical about you, it's not De..." Gudas dragged the ending sound often.

This guy is really a bit cheap, although it's nothing but Hans's eyes are burning?

Situ Nan thought to himself, lest the two guys quarrel again, he hurriedly said, "Speaking of business, do you want shares or bonuses?"

"I want shares!"

"I want a bonus!"

The two said in unison.

"Okay! Gudas wants shares and Hans wants cash. That's a deal. There is good news for you. In view of your fruitful work, you have saved the company 5 million dollars in capital, except for a total of 10. %, that is, in addition to the total reward of 500,000 US dollars, the remaining 4.5 million US dollars. After I withdraw the 3 million US dollars, the remaining 1.5 million US dollars will be used to buy a large piece of land to build a villa on Long Island, New York.

Each of you will also get a free set at that time.In short, there will be cars, houses, big tickets, and lots of women!There will be many airplanes and cruise ships.Work hard, guys!"

Situ Nan said incitingly.

"Yeah! Boss, you are so wise, I love you!" Gadas said happily. He is such a person, more optimistic, and he can say whatever he wants.

Hans is more reserved. Although he has become a profiteer now, he still has the unsmiling manner of a German in his bones. Only the slightly cracked corners of his mouth and squinted eyes reveal the joy of his heart.

"Shit! What kind of unscrupulous guy is noisy and noisy early in the morning, disturbing dreams!" Robles walked out sleepily, wearing pajamas and showing his breasts, very unsightly.

"Robos, you're here to eat, did we just share a good news?" Gudas smiled triumphantly.

"Let’s talk about it, otherwise I suspect that you three men here in the bow early in the morning must have a passion!" Robles lay down and yawned. It seems that his performance last night was very impressive. Has not recovered.

While the Americans were fighting with the Germans, and before the storm came, there were rare days of leisure and leisure, Situ Nan asked Robles to go for a ride.At the same time, the first mobilization meeting of the William Consortium was held at sea!

The cruise ship was driven by Guadas. In order to claim credit, this guy picked out this 3000-ton luxury cruise ship from the merchant ship acquired from German merchants and drove directly to New York Port to announce the good news to Stuart. He also wittily changed the name of the cruise ship. As the "William".

Well, this may also be the largest private cruise ship in New York Harbor. Other wealthy people generally drive yachts, which obviously exceed a level.

"I have some money in my hand. I want to buy land and build a house on Long Island, and then I will reward employees with good performance. What do you think?" Situ Nan asked.

The reason why he had this idea was actually because the house where Kuzdova lived was too close to the city and it was inconvenient to get in and out.

If Laura will come to live in the future, it is best to live in a place far away from the New York city, so Long Island is the best choice.

There is convenient transportation, and you will reach Manhattan after crossing the bridge. The environment is elegant, and many families live there.For example, the Rockefeller family lives in the South Hampton area of ​​Long Island.

"Okay! I agree with this!" Robles said casually. He drank a sip, moistened his throat, and suddenly shouted towards the cabin direction: "Little ones, Jesse, Graham, come out. The big boss said that we are going to divide the house! The villa on Long Island has one manpower! Come on!

Is this okay?The heads of Robes Securities and William Financial Holdings all swarmed out.

"Damn!" With a low curse, Situ Nan looked at Robles' proud eyes with a headache, not because of the money, but because he was afraid of people watching!

Especially when a bunch of men look at you flatteringly, it's almost like eating you down.

...

It was crazy all night last night. By noon, everyone was sober.Naturally, Situ Nan and the others are not the only ones on the huge cruise ship. In fact, the heads of the William Consortium are all gathered in New York.To be precise on this cruise ship.
