The journey starts from the Titanic

The cruel destiny, and God's inadvertent inaction made Lin Yimin's life have to turn into another fork.

Lin Yimin usually spends a lot of money, has no savings, and can't afford to go back the boat tickets.After dropping out of school, he couldn't find a good job. Later, this savvy "young master" could only wash the dishes in a small restaurant in Chinatown.

Lin Yimin had to be ridiculed by the boss's rolling eyes after breaking up the restaurant's bowls and dishes many times.However, due to the pressure of survival, he had to endure it, and the bitterness was as hard as personal drinking water-knowing the coldness and warmth.

If it hadn't been for a bit of spine in his bones, Lin Yimin might have become a gangster in Chinatown, perhaps a rotting corpse by the gutter one day.

Situ Nan met Lin Yimin by chance. At that time, he hadn't made his mark. He was completely a dick, and with an impulse and dream, he took the train from New York to Los Angeles.

When I was at the train station, I ran into a thin young man with ragged clothes and yellow hair like autumn weeds. He squatted at the entrance of the station, watching the crowds coming and going without pupils or focus, confused and numb.

Well, after Lin Yimin survived the most difficult six months in the dark and messy kitchen of a restaurant in Chinatown, he heard that Los Angeles was developing well, so he embarked on the journey resolutely. As for his six months of hard work, most of his work was deducted by the boss, and there was nothing left A few more.

Coming to Los Angeles ignorantly, reality poured cold water on him again, and he had to stay at the train station in Los Angeles.Penniless, he can only watch the crowds coming and going silently pouting with psychological pain.

Maybe it's fate!

At that time, Situ Nan thought to himself, this young man must have experienced misfortune, otherwise, how could there be that kind of numbness that is no more sad than death?This expression of Situ Nan was too familiar, just like the self who suddenly descended on the Titanic a few months ago.

Feeling compassionate, when Situ Nan passed by, he left $10 to the other party. He didn't think about it too much, because he might not even be able to take care of it?

When I met again, it was when Situ Nan recruited security guards, but Situ Nan did not find the gratitude in the eyes of a thin young man at the time. He no longer remembers that the man named Lin Yimin in front of him was once at the train station. The downfall of the fate.

It wasn't until Lin Yimin mentioned it later that Situ Nan had some impression, so he recruited Lin Yimin as a member of the security consulting company.

The education level of general security guards is not high, so many of the security guards Situ Nan started to recruit are illiterate?For this reason, he had to spend another sum of money to literacy for these guys.

When he was free, Situ Nan would also train with him. As time passed, he also had a deep impression of Lin Yimin, who was outstanding in conversation and self-denial.

After learning of Lin Yimin's experience, I felt deeply sympathetic, and at the same time, because of similar experiences, Situ Nan looked at Lin Yimin with admiration.

Especially after knowing that the other party had to give up his studies, he was very sorry, so he sent Lin Yimin to Yale to go to school.Why should I go to this school, because Yale was the first-class American university that enrolled the most Chinese students.Of course, it is also inseparable from Lin Yimin's efforts.

In order to keep the other side alone, Situ Nan later took Lin Yimin's mother over through the relationship with the Meihua Trading Company.For helping Lin Yimin, Situ Nan didn't try to give anything in return, but felt that since he hit him, he should give a young man who gradually emerged from his misfortune a chance.

Now that his career is getting bigger and bigger, he needs the help of a lot of people he can trust, so after Lin Yimin graduated from Yale University in business, Situ Nan has the heart to train him, let him be his secretary, and gradually take care of some less important things. Leave it to him.

"One people! The world is big and big, there will always be a stage for us. Small and small, because in the future I will encounter many difficulties and encounter many difficult people. I hope you can hurry up Grow up to help me." Situ Nan said earnestly.

The bigger his career, he now increasingly finds that he lacks talents like Lin Yimin who are highly qualified and knowledgeable.He is one of them, but you can't count on that indifferent and direct guy too much when it comes to using your mouth and mind!

Business matters are okay. The company has a mature operating system. As long as you firmly hold the equity in your hands, I believe no one can overthrow you.

But if it involves other undeniable projects, Situ Nan is still willing to believe in a young Chinese with black hair and yellow skin just like him.

"Master, I will work hard." Lin Yimin said firmly.At this moment, he seemed to feel that Situ Nan was a little bit hesitant to speak, that face that he always looked so elegant and confident did not seem to be as calm and graceful as people thought, but was burdened with too many things that ordinary people could not see. pressure.

It's a pity that I haven't been able to help much before, thinking of this Lin Yimin clenched his fist secretly.Except for the mother in Los Angeles who hadn't seen each other since parting, Situ Nan was the person Lin Yimin valued most in the world.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressed, Situ Nan smiled and shook his head. Lin Yimin was still a little tender and needed more carving to take on the important task. Situ Nan felt that there was no need to put too much pressure on him now.Picking up and seeing the telegram next to him, he changed the subject and said, "It's a pity, I just missed the Chrysler tank experiment this time."

Situ Nan wiped his sweat and glanced at the telegram in his hand.

It turned out that under Situ Nan’s instructions, Chrysler had developed a new type of tank and was about to experiment. Walter Chrysler sent a telegram inviting Situ Nan to visit.But the telegram came a bit late, and the William had already left port.

For the new M1917 tank, which is a combination of the Cadillac engine left by the original Leyland father and son, the body technology of the Faith Body Company, the alloy technology of the Bethlehem United Steel Company, and the tank technology imported from the French Renault Company, Situ Nan I have expectations in my heart.

After rebirth came to the United States, he has not seen a real tank yet?Men rarely don’t like tanks and artillery. In the previous life, Situ Nan always sees hundreds of tanks charging in the movie. He wants to become a commander and the majestic armored regiments under his command are on the battlefield. Gallop.

"Call back Chrysler and say I expect their experiment to be successful." Situ Nan said, and the telegram in his hand was rolled into a ball and thrown into the sea.

Chapter 161 Salesman Thomas Watson

Seeing Lin Yimin turning and leaving, Situ Nan suddenly thought of something. Lin Yimin called to a halt: "Wait a minute, Yimin, by the way, I would like to ask Robes, how is the negotiation with the calculation watch company going? You can do it if necessary. Make some concessions."

"Calculating the watchmaking company?" Lin Yimin asked a question mark in his heart?He just took over the work of Situ Nan's secretary not long ago, and he is still unclear, but as a subordinate, he should abide by his duty and don't ask what he shouldn't. These questions will naturally be known after the work starts.

"Okay!" Lin Yimin stepped back respectfully.Over this period of time, the more he came into contact with the company, the greater his psychological surprise. Although he only saw the tip of the iceberg of the William Consortium, he was stunned. He had to get acquainted with the company as soon as possible. It is also necessary to transform the knowledge learned in school into a boost to Situ Nan.

"I hope things go smoothly! If it doesn't work, I have to start anew, as long as I can dig Thomas Watson, IBM is still its own!" Situ Nan thought.

There is no such company as IBM, but its predecessor, Computational Watchmaking Company (CTR), broke into Situ Nan’s sight by chance, and he remembered the blue giant of the future world.

There are still some stories. A few months ago, Situ Nan was busy with the establishment of William Financial Holdings. At that time, the office was still at Robles Bond Co., but had not moved to William Street.Once when I passed by Robles' office, I heard someone talking loudly inside.

"I don't want to see you again! Get out! You liar! What a waste of my time!" Robles opened the door angrily and said loudly.

His secretary was about to rush in, but was stopped by Situ Nan.

"What's the matter?" Situ Nan walked in and found a middle-aged man sitting in the office, his expression aggrieved, and his gray beard looked a bit vicissitudes of life.In the face of Robes' sudden attack, he still kept smiling, as if this insult seemed to him to be calm and gentle, and he had already experienced much.Seeing Situ Nan coming in, he was a little surprised, but he nodded friendly.

"I'm so angry! This old guy claims to be a representative of the calculation watch company. When he came in and asked to meet me, he said that the calculation company had a good investment to cooperate with Robles Securities, so I agreed. he.

At the beginning, we talked about investment matters, which was kind of like that. Later, this guy offered to provide us with calculators, punches and other office equipment produced by their company. He speaks like a salesman.

No, he is a salesman!Damn, I'm so busy, then I have time to pay attention to this damn salesman!"

Robes said intently, staring angrily at the salesman who wasted himself, and greeted the secretary outside the door in his heart. He didn't find out the origin of the other party. The office of the president of the dignified Robles Securities was actually The salesman came to the door, and it was a bit embarrassing to spread it out.

"It turned out to be like this!" Situ Nan smiled slightly and glanced at the middle-aged man again, and saw him steadily on the sofa with a calm expression. He was a little embarrassed when Robles revealed his tricks, but soon After a flash, his face returned to normal.

This person is really cheeky, but unfortunately he caught up with a bad time, Situ Nan thought.

As the equity of Robles Securities must be included in William Financial Holdings, Robles must be busy with a lot of work. This is exactly when he is so busy that he would not have seen it if it weren't for the other party under the banner of a tabulation company Robles.

Well, Robles has always coveted this company, so he expressed great enthusiasm for this representative who claims to be a calculation watch company.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that the other party is a small sales manager who has not been authorized by investment negotiations at all. The so-called investment negotiations are just a cover. How to make Robles not angry?He felt that he was being teased, and adding "Alexander" during this period of time, his temper was particularly bad.Had it not been for Situ Nan to come in and bother him, he even wanted to call the watchmaking company to complain.

"Okay, two, I don't care who you are. If you don't have a good reason, please don't disturb my work!" After finishing speaking, Robles gave Situ Nan a nasty look and said clearly, "It's not you yet. This hand-handling shopkeeper often changes tricks, let me be a little busy."

Robles, who recovered his emotions, hurriedly drove Situ Nan and the salesman out of his office.

"Sir, don't you want to talk to my office?" Situ Nan said.He didn't need to worry about these things at first, but he still admired the salesman Situ Nan who could get into Robles' office. Thinking that there was nothing wrong, he wanted to meet this somewhat vicissitudes of man on a whim.

At a time when sales were not as mature and developed as in the previous life, an employee with outstanding sales ability was precious to Situ Nan. His consortium lacked a leader with strong sales ability.

"Okay!" Although Thomas Watson didn't know the identity of the other party, he was knowledgeable when he saw the other party from the attitude of Situ Nan and Robles. status.

When he walked into another office not far from Robes' office, he was shocked.Although the room was very "simplistic" and there was no secretary at the door, there was only a man standing like a cold bodyguard, but Thomas Watson looked at the young figure of Situ Nan, his heart beat faster, just at the door. The nameplate was still flashing in his mind—the chairman's office.

This young man is the chairman of Robes Securities?Yes, it must be so, otherwise the attitude of talking to Robles just now won't be so casual!What did he find himself for?What is his purpose?

Thomas Watson was so entangled in these questions that he forgot to speak.

Situ Nan looked at the surprised expression on the other's face and smiled slightly, "My name is Stoney William, the owner of this company, but I don't come often. Isn't it time to introduce yourself, Mr.?"

"Ah?!...Oh!" Thomas Watson took a deep breath, calmed down, thinking that even the trust king of Wall Street has seen him himself, why should he lose his temper in front of this stinky kid?
