The journey starts from the Titanic

Molin Company holds half of the shares in Kailuan Coal Mine.Of course, Hoover didn't know that Meihua came to Kailuan Coal Mine, but he was very cunning. At the beginning, he deliberately used it to raise the price.

Because he is now back in California and is preparing to run for the Senate, he needs a lot of money, so he wants to slaughter Meihua Company for $150,000.The representative of Meihua Company naturally refused, and the two sides froze temporarily.

However, the representative of Meihua Company went back to investigate Hoover and found that Hoover is now running for the Senate and needs a lot of money.This is not the point. The point is that Hoover's role in the Kaiping Coal Mine was very disgraceful, so he caught Hoover's painful foot.

As a result, when he visited again, Meihua’s representative became very tough. Not only did he reduce the price from 80,000 US dollars to 50,000 US dollars, he also threatened to put Hoover in China if Hoover did not submit. The scandal was shaken out.

Hoover was so angry that he cheated Kaiping Coal Mine into his heart's happiest thing. After all, he relied on that to make his fortune, but it was uncomfortable to be exposed naked.

But there is no way!He thought about getting rid of the shares in his hands, but he was always reluctant to make annual profits.He knew that he was disgraceful when he teamed up with the British Mo Lin to seize the Chinese coal mines. If he retains shares in his hands, it will become a stain of attacks by political opponents and will affect his development in politics.

In desperation, he had no choice but to obediently offer shares of Molin Company.Under the "kind" suggestion of the representative of Meihua Company, Hoover had to take pains to help persuade his partner Merlin to sell Merlin Company to Meihua Company.

Situ Nan heard about this later, he felt that the name Hoover was a bit familiar, and when he looked back, he really found a big guy!This Hoover is really Roosevelt's mortal enemy-American President Hoover.

However, Hoover will also be Andrew's good friend, and the two became the people most greeted by all Americans during the Great Depression in 29 years.Really difficult brother.

The representative of Meihua Company "fixed" Hoover a bit miserably, making Situ Nan laugh.With his toes, he could imagine how the business representative who had just graduated from school caught Hoover's painful foot and kept chasing him.

Poor Hoover was threatened before he could make his mark. The taste-snickering, Situ Nan felt that he should let Mr. Hoover feel the warmth of Meihua, so as not to get revenge.As a result, the representative of Meihua Company found Hoover again, and the depressed US$30,000 was not coming back, but Meihua Company could help Hoover in the election one or two.

In fact, the $30,000 that Hoover lost was later donated by Meihua Company as Hoover's campaign funds.In the newspapers, funding, and mobilizing Chinese Americans to vote, Meihua Company helped Hoover a lot, allowing him to successfully become a California senator and win back the friendship of this political star.

Situ Nan couldn't help laughing whenever he thought of this.

As for Hoover’s partner, the Englishman, Molin, initially rejected Hoover’s proposal to sell Molin to Meihua. After learning that Meihua had acquired 5% of the shares from Hoover, he scolded Hoover for ungratefulness.

At this time, the U.S. mining giant Guben Energy also came to the door and joined the fight for Merlin.Now Mo Lin saw the hope of the fisherman's profit.Therefore, he deliberately asked Meihua and Guben Energy to bid.

The price war was won by Guben Energy, which doubled the assets of Molin Company, 2.5 million US dollars!However, on the eve of the signing ceremony, the Guben Energy Company told him that because the company found a new and better coal mine in Australia, it would no longer invest in the company.

Instead, prepare to raise funds to develop coal and iron ore in Western Australia.The news is naturally true, and the rewards are also visible.Guben Company not only did not invest in Molin Company, but also raised funds from Molin Company.

This kindness made Mo Lin anguish.Because he has no money, unless he sells the Molin Company or the Kailuan Coal Mine, then he may get a share of the Australian investment.

Mo Linkong was overjoyed, and he quickly turned back to Meihua Company, but Meihua Company's attitude became quite cold, and he was only willing to buy the Kailuan Coal Mine at the normal price.

toothache!

Thinking that the Kaiping Coal Mine was acquired for only 200,000 taels of silver, Meihua Company is now willing to pay 1.2 million US dollars, which has already made several times, so Mo Lin bit his teeth and sold the Kaiping Coal Mine in the hands of Mo Lin Company to Meihua Company.

With the US$1.2 million fund from Meihua, Mo Lin vigorously invested in the Western Australia mineral development led by Guben Energy.

Guben Energy found Mr. Cook of Wells Fargo Bank Australia branch for Molin as Molin’s partner. After knowing that Molin needed to invest, he introduced the Australian Investment Company (Australia Investment for short), so Molin The company has a few new shareholders.

After receiving the joint capital injection from the two major companies of Guben Energy and Australia Investment, Molin’s assets reached US$3 million. Molin himself is the largest shareholder, accounting for 40% of the shares, and Guben Energy and Australian Investment account for both It is 30%.

In order to develop minerals in Western Australia, the Merlin Company also wanted a loan of US$2 million from Wells Fargo Bank.Used for railway construction from mine to port.

After the Kailuan Coal Mine was launched, Molin Company completely launched China and fully entered the Australian mining industry.Mo Lin himself was full of vigor and hesitation, he didn't know that Situ Nan was behind the scenes leading all this.

Consolidation Energy, Australian Investment, Wells Fargo Bank, etc. are all in one group. It takes minutes to annex Merlin, but Merlin himself does not suffer.

The ability to invest millions of dollars to develop mining in Western Australia is not comparable to operating the Kailuan coal mine in Tangshan, China.He didn't know that Situ Nan felt that the Molin Company was a good shell, and Mo Lin himself was a bit capable, otherwise there were too many ways to destroy Molin Company.

Although Situ Nan is better at investing, not Yinren.

No one knows the potential of Western Australia except Situ Nan.In fact, Situ Nan really liked that Mo Lin was ruthless and could "deceive" him. It would be ideal to put him in Western Australia to help him develop mining in Western Australia.

In addition to the mining industry in Western Australia, after obtaining actual control of Molin Company, under the instruction of Situ Nan, Guben Energy Company integrated all the coal and iron ore businesses in Eastern Australia, South Wales and other places into Molin Company , Which further dilutes Mo Lin’s shares in Mo Lin.

But he doesn't care too much, because he is still the president of Molin Company and can manage the company according to his own intentions.Ability is good, the company is well managed, so there is little interference from the board of directors.

What makes Mo Lin a little unhappy is that there is also a company called Jinshan Mining which is also developing minerals in Western Australia. The two companies are of equal strength, and no one can eat anyone. This makes Mo Lin feel pressured and he has to With twelve points of energy, I am determined to surpass Jinshan Mining Company.

Although the competition between Molin and Jinshan Mining seems to be fierce, in fact, Situ Nan has already delineated the sphere of influence for them. The super-large iron ore in the Pilbara area has also been quietly divided by these two companies, especially When BHP Billiton in Eastern Australia saw that Western Australia was getting hotter, it also wanted to step in. However, it was often boycotted by Molin and Jinshan Mining. In the end, it had no choice but to sigh and stay in East Australia.

East Australia is also rich in resources, but from time to time it is subject to competition from Molin, and its development has not been very smooth.Until a hundred years later, BHP Billiton always ranked last among the three major mining giants in Australia, and its position was a bit embarrassing.

They still don't know that Situ Nan originally wanted to start with BHP Billiton, but the several mergers of BHP Billiton carefully initiated by Cook were hindered by Barclays Bank and failed.

After arousing the vigilance of the British shareholders in BHP Billiton, Situ Nan stopped entangled and set up another company to work against BHP Billiton.

As a result, a more interesting situation appeared. It was often the boss Molin Company provoking and suppressing BHP Billiton in Eastern Australia, while the second child Jinshan Mining Company had been nestling in Western Australia, fighting the world, investing silently, and emigrating silently, and rarely Go grab someone else's list.

When Molin and BHP Billiton were competing for the markets in the United States, Europe, and Japan, Jinshan Mining Company shipped the iron ore and coal produced each year to the northern Southeast Asia.

This situation made BHP Billiton very entangled and complained about Mo Lin.In fact, Mo Lin himself is also very entangled, because he has repeatedly proposed to enter the mining market in Nanyang, which has been unanimously rejected by the board of directors, and those Chinese companies in Nanyang have a very cold attitude towards Mo Lin. In the end, he can only fight with BHP Billiton. On it.

The only thing they have in common is that the iron ore and coal sold to Japan are very expensive!Later, this caused the Japanese to take care of the Northeast for resources.

Chapter 116 Farewell 1919 (Part 1)

December 25, 1919.The William Garden in the Shanghai Concession, in this magnificent palace-like building, a small and lively dance is being staged, and the 50-foot-wide ballroom can allow guests to dance.

With the brisk and peaceful beat, every guest has a smile on their faces.High-priced bands are playing hard, and the most striking is a white-clothed pianist who focuses on playing in front of the piano.

I saw that the slender and flexible fingers seemed to have a kind of magic, and they varied various notes at will.

"You are such a magic pianist! Mr. 1900!" Situ Nan walked over and smiled, "I think you will fall in love with this city."

"Yes. I might fall in love with a certain place, but I hate you as a self-righteous fellow!" 1900 gave Situ Nan an impatient look, swept his fingers on the keys, and stood up and walked outside.

"Hey. One day you will be grateful to me, idiot!" Situ Nanchao shouted from behind 1900. He was in a good mood, so he did it, and improvised.

Interestingly speaking, California Shipping Company increased the flights from Shanghai to San Francisco and bought the Virginia passenger ship from another company.On Christmas Eve, the passenger ship arrived in Shanghai after a long journey.

Situ Nan remembered the strange sea pianist 1900 that he had met on the Virginia three years ago. So he sent someone to investigate and found that the guy was still on the ship. So he forced him to take 1900 to William’s Garden. Guys never get off the boat.

Situ Nan's poo bag naturally won a lot of applause from the guests.Most of the people present were business partners of Meihua Company or friends of Situ Nan, Bill, President of Occidental Petroleum China?Senior executives such as Walter, Lin Yimin of Meihua Company, Jiang Hua, butler of Meihua Bank, and the Kadoorie family, He Dong family, and Song family also sent people to attend Situ Nan’s Christmas ball.

This is not only a social occasion for information exchange, summarizing and prospecting, but also an opportunity to connect feelings and strengthen internal cohesion.

Seeing Lin Yimin dealing with a bunch of guests with ease, Situ Nan nodded in satisfaction.

Soong Meiling's dress is outstanding, her elegant dance and good conversation make her the focus.

Laura, who is also the hostess, is even more noble and glamorous, and her every move attracts everyone's attention.Of course, the credit of Situ Nan who hugged her has to be counted.

With his arms around Laura's soft body and smelling the faint creamy sweetness, Situ Nan's vanity was greatly satisfied.However, from time to time, she was attracted and distracted by the figure of Song Meiling not far away.

"My dear, it seems that you are going to dance with Song, right?" Laura whispered in Situ Nan's ear, her blue eyes flashed with a smile.

"I am holding the most beautiful woman in the world now. Her dancing posture is the most beautiful. You can't doubt her charm." Situ Nan said seriously.While talking, Demon Palm quietly stroked Laura's beautiful buttocks, and it still felt great!

"Asshole!" Laura was a little shy, and she gave Situ Nan a white look, as if anger and joy, that touch of style moved Situ Nan's heart.

But after a dance, Situ Nan walked straight to Song Meiling.Laura stomped slightly with anger, but soon showed her face again.
