The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 213

When Dennis talked about the status quo of Wells Fargo, he couldn't help but talk.He paused for a while, looked at Situ Nan, and said, "Stone, when you told me to be the new aristocrat of the west, I was still a little worried, but now it seems that you are right, we We are on the right path."

"Haha!" Situ Nan smiled. He had been listening carefully just now, feeling the man's confidence and ambition in Dennis's excited tone.

"Well said, we will not only be the best bank in the West, but also the best bank in the United States, and even the best bank in the world. Come on, my friend!"

Situ Nan encouraged.

Thinking of the M notes he saw in Chinatown, Situ Nan felt alive.

"There is a very interesting thing, Dennis, you know? I saw a very interesting fast food restaurant in Chinatown. They prepared the food in advance, and the customers can eat as soon as they come in. It is very convenient and fast, and the slowest is the slowest. Minutes, this model is worth thinking about. I think it will become a fashion in the future, and it will become popular in the next few decades."

Situ Nan said solemnly.

"Fast food restaurant?" Dennis Fargo didn't know what Situ Nan was talking about. How could the banking industry be linked to a fast food restaurant?Is the association of business geniuses so rich?Dennis Fargo looked at Situ Nan blankly, a little confused.

Well, Situ Nan reacted, he was a little bit unclear. He had to explain the trend of fast food, and from the example of McDonald's, he slowly linked fast food operations with real estate companies.

"Oh, so you are fancy the real estate industry in Chinatown!" Dennis Fargo suddenly realized, "Why not just say it? It made me think about it for a long time."

"Don't underestimate Chinatown, those lands will be very valuable in the future. I estimate that in three to five years, the price of land in San Francisco will not be a problem quadrupling."

Situ Nan smiled.

Seeing Situ Nan’s self-confidence, Dennis Fargo thought to himself: Is Wells Fargo going to invest in the real estate industry?It seems a bit early?But the land in Chinatown is really good, and it's a pity to miss it.

He has no opinion on investing in the real estate industry. Real estate is indeed a good business. It is just that Wells Fargo’s stalls are too large at present, and a large amount of funds are invested in other industries, and there is no way to spare money to invest in real estate.

Entering a new industry rashly will inevitably take a lot of risks. In any case, it should be delayed rather than urgent.However, Situ Nan just raised an idea and did not take any substantive action. Dennis did not express his faint worry.

As if seeing the other party's concern, Situ Nan smiled and said nothing. Wells Fargo Bank has its own management system, which involves specific business activities, so you should not rush in.

Now it's just a reminder to Dennis in advance, so that he is prepared.The First World War will be fought until next year, at the end of 1918. It is almost over. It is expected that there will be a two-year depression after the war. There will be a lot of cheap land waiting for Wells Fargo to purchase it. That is Wells Fargo Bank. The best time to buy bottom real estate.

Of course, Wells Fargo only contributes money behind the scenes, and it will be the now obscure Fannie Mae to run the real estate business. San Francisco’s Chinatown is just an appetizer.

Situ thought South America.

...

"These ghosts are really rich!"

Ma Decai walked into the magnificent St. Francis Hotel, feeling a little nervous. It was the first time he entered such a high-class hotel.

Why does that bright and brilliant huge crystal chandelier feel a little awkward?Make Ma Decai feel unreal?

The shiny and neat floor is really slippery!Ma Decai felt a little guilty in his heart, always feeling that his feet were not working.

Although this hotel is very close to Chinatown, he has come here very few times since he has been in the United States for more than a decade.For this reason, he deliberately replaced the usual "elegant and graceful" long gown and put on a neat suit.Feeling awkward, Ma Decai wanted to scratch his waist all the way, but he resisted it.

Many years later, when Ma Decai often entered and exited this hotel with a confident expression on his face, he always felt amused at the original "small family spirit".

Ma Decai is here today to cooperate with Situ Nan. What is the cooperation?Naturally it is his new fast food restaurant.

Well, Situ Nan is interested in investing in Ma Decai's M Kee fast food restaurant.This made Ma Decai excited, he dimly felt that this was a great opportunity, and he was eager to seize it.

As for Situ Nan's idea of ​​annexing his fast food restaurant, Ma Decai thought it was funny.Because of his nephew Xu Zhouyang's important position in Cummins, Ma De knew that Situ Nan was a big benefactor, let alone his small restaurant with hundreds of square meters.

I used to hear the word financing from my nephew Xu Zhouyang occasionally, but I didn't expect to be fashionable now.

Yes, he is here to raise funds.

"Mr. Ma, room 508 is here, Mr. Lin is already waiting for you in it!" A white waiter replied politely, bowed slightly, and smiled and received a $5 tip from Ma Decai's tight expression.

"Uncle Ma, come in quickly." Lin Yimin greeted the somewhat cautious Ma Decai enthusiastically, and said, "I will talk to you about the cooperation of a fast food restaurant today. Master has something to do and left."

"Oh, good!" Ma Decai said, hearing Situ Nan's absence, he felt a little disappointed. He didn't know that what was waiting for him was a life-changing and rewarding meeting.Throughout his life, Ma Decai maintained a close friendship with Lin Yimin.

Of course, Situ Nan didn't need to show up on such small matters as fast food restaurant business, and Situ Nan's cooperation with Ma Decai was handed over to Secretary Lin Yimin.At the same time, he explained the business model and surprise of McDonald's in the past to Lin Yimin. I believe that with Ma Decai's cleverness and his own financial support, it is not a big problem to make an M.

This is also the reason why Lin Yimin puts Ma Decai docile. He was born in a businessman family, graduated from an American university, and was called by Situ Nan as his secretary. No matter what, Lin Yimin is a man of work. He just needs time to accumulate experience.

If Ma Decai could see from the Union Square outside the Saint Francis Hotel, if you pay attention, you can see a young, relaxed man sitting on a bench decorated with palms, purple shirts, and roses on the opposite side. Who is that not Situ Nan?

"Mr. William, is your promise still valid?" The man next to him looked at Situ Nan with excitement and expectation.

Chapter 191 Twentieth Century William Film Company

Established a film company to designate an actress and a protected role. Rose "Excuse me, are you?" Situ Nan looked at the man in front of him, with a bald head, a face of scumbag, messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and a look a little desolate .After seeing Situ Nan, he stepped forward, his expression a little excited.

Situ Nan thought for a while and shook his head. He couldn't remember who the man in front of him was, but since he could call his name, he probably knew him.

"Delp, I am Delp. We met when we were making a movie in Hollywood last year. You gave me a business card, look!"

With that said, this man named Delp took out a business card from his pocket. The brand-new business card was in sharp contrast with Delp's down-and-out dress. Obviously this person cherished this business card!

Situ Nan remembered when he talked about Hollywood. Last year, on a whim, he took Mary and Little Tom to Hollywood and was caught by this man named Delp.

However, looking at Delp dressed up as a sharp brother, Situ Nan is really unable to connect with the conscientious and well-dressed deputy director Delp last year.

"I remember, your name is Delp, the deputy director of the film company. Did I get your box lunch last year?" Situ Nan smiled, "Long time no see, how are you?"

Situ Nan asked politely.

At the beginning, I was moved by Delp’s love for movies. On an impulse, he made a promise. As long as Delpp can get a big star like Griffith or Chaplin, he will open a film company and let Delpp manage. Know if Delp succeeded.But seeing the honor in front of him, Situ Nan said hello in his heart?

"Well, now I don't work for the original film company..." At this point, Delp was a little sad.He is currently unemployed, and he is no longer the proud filmmaker. Instead, he is somewhat infamous and has almost become synonymous with failure.

Last year, he finally got the opportunity to direct a film. He once vowed to go to Haikou and wanted to win a box office of 100,000 US dollars. The result was very tragic. He made a bad film. Not only did he make no money, but he didn’t even recover the cost. drift.

Due to the relatively large investment, the losses were relatively serious. In addition, several films made during the same period suffered serious losses. At the beginning of the year, the boss who had lost confidence in the film decided to bankrupt the company.This caused a shock in Hollywood, and all kinds of voices came out.Hey, that poor boss, he was also coaxed for a while by Delp's eloquence.

Delp’s debut work was a failure, but he shouldn’t be responsible for the company’s bankruptcy, but this is often the case. So a shit, failed, and botched director Delp became the best target. This can conceal the poor management of the film company itself.

Delp knew this, but he had no choice but to embarrass him. After his film company closed down, given his good reputation, he became an unpopular role in Hollywood, and almost all film companies were reluctant to reuse it. He, Delp can only do some miscellaneous work.This is obviously not what he wants.

By chance, Delp thought of Situ Nan, the one who gave him a business card, as long as he can find Griffith or Chaplin, he will hand it over to a film company to manage it.

Just like a drowning man would hold onto every straw around him, the business card left by Situ Nan became Delp's only hope.

Although Delp admits that he may be lacking in filmmaking, he has always believed that he belongs to the film and that he will definitely become an excellent filmmaker!

In the past few months, Delp has been calling Situ Nan according to the number on his business card, but that number is for the office in Los Angeles. Strangers like Delp will naturally not attract the attention of office staff. Besides, Situ Nan has been Not in California, so Delp couldn't find Situ Nan.

After Situ Nan returned from New York, he ran to San Francisco non-stop without spending two days in Los Angeles, so Delp who received the news hurried to San Francisco.

"So, you came specifically to find me?" Situ Nan looked at Delp with a sad face. He didn't expect to see him in a year. When the energetic man appeared in front of him again, he had already A little more vicissitudes.

"Yes. I have been here for two days and have been waiting for you in the hotel. You know, big people like you usually live in the Saint Francis Hotel. I didn't expect that I would run into it."
