The journey starts from the Titanic

Situ Nan thought somewhat self-deprecatingly.

In addition to road traffic construction, Hoover is also very interested in radio communications and aviation, and believes that these emerging industries should be supported by government policies.

Situ Nan was convinced and offered many insights, which Hoover readily adopted.In subsequent radio conferences and aviation conferences, Situ Nan’s suggestions were put forward to promote the development of related industries.

He reaps political achievements, while Situ Nan reaps money.Whether in radio or aviation, he has huge interests.

Back home, Situ Nan was in a good mood, almost humming in the door.

"It looks like you have a good harvest!" Andrew smiled, holding Little Alice in his arms, while holding Little Andrew, with a funny Santa Claus hat on his head, no one would have seen it with his own eyes. I believe that the super-rich, rich and powerful Andrew Mellon will be like a little old man on the street, without any authority.

"Yes. We talked about roads and automobiles. The Minister of Commerce is worried about the recent increase in traffic accidents and plans to hold a national conference to discuss the regulation of road traffic construction across the country.

He is pragmatic and we had a pleasant discussion.I am about to talk to people from Chrysler.Hoover's work can promote the development of the American automobile industry."

Situ Nan replied, taking her daughter from Andrew's arms and kissing her, the scene was unspeakably warm.

In Washington, Situ Nan's family had a happy Christmas, and the children's innocent smiles remained in Situ Nan's memory.

One day, Situ Nan was thinking about the map, thinking for a while, roughly according to the memory of his previous life, drew three horizontal and three vertical lines on the map of the United States, like a network, including his favorite highway 80 in his previous life, also on paper.

"Dad, what is this?" Little Andy asked, pointing to the line on the map.

"Highway! Great highway! As long as you have a car, you can reach any place. Maybe in the future you can drive from Los Angeles to Washington." Situ Nan explained with a smile.

"Really? Then let's drive back, OK?" Little Andy looked at Situ Nan expectantly, seeming to think that driving is a cool thing.

"Is it okay to take a boat?" Situ Nan asked with a smile, touching little Andy's head affectionately.

"It's the sea back and forth, it's all water, it's not fun at all." Little Andy replied with his head tilted. He didn't know how expensive the William they took, even American millionaires. No chance to take a trip.

"Indeed. I hate that too. But we can't drive home if the road hasn't been repaired yet. But when you grow up, you can drive around, and even fly around the world."

Situ Nan explained patiently.

"Oh! I want to fly a plane too, as handsome as my uncle!" Little Andy clenched his small fist and looked excited.

When he was at home, Paul often held him up to fly a plane. After being frightened twice, this little guy was not afraid of heights at all.

"Let's talk when you grow up!" Situ Nan squeezed his son's face, and smiled in his heart: A kid, know what is handsome?Maybe after two days I like other things again.

The days of staying in Washington were comfortable. After some deliberation, Situ Nan really came up with a plan to regulate urban traffic. The content was detailed and all the examples cited were tested in practice.

Although there is still room for improvement, this plan is sufficient to regulate the urban traffic in the United States and the highway construction that Situ Nan is most concerned about.

In his plan, he also plans to build a highway.Of course, there is a charge.

Passing by, stay and buy money!quack!

Chapter 185 Chevron Petroleum goes public

When the new year began in 1924, when Americans were still immersed in the joy of Christmas, a piece of news published in the New York newspaper: Oil, how much sin and darkness is hidden?

The teapot mountain oil scandal finally broke out!

Although the facts in the report have yet to be confirmed, it is only a small corner of the shady scene, and the hidden crimes are enough to shock the American people.

More and more people are paying attention to this matter, and they all believe that hidden evils are hidden in it.Public opinion was fierce, forcing the two ministers, Doherty and Dunby, to resign, and President Coolidge had to set up a special department to investigate the matter.

"The White House turmoil has broken out again!" Andrew said with the "Washington Post" in his hand, a little worried.

Looking at Situ Nan, I felt a little comforted: The son-in-law was right again. It was wise for him to persuade himself not to trade in naval oil concessions.

Although Andrew never thought of doing these "stupid" things, he had to admire Situ Nan's foresight.Interestingly, Situ Nan also used this to put pressure on Sinclair and easily bought Sinclair Oil.

"The newspaper is still quite powerful. Will this be a new shrapnel movement?" Situ Nan asked with a smile.

When he came to this world, the vigorous excrement movement had ended. It was regrettable that he had not been able to witness the most exciting decade of the American newspaper industry.However, if the dung-scraping movement resumes, he, as a monopoly giant, will also become the target of attacks by others.

"No. Enough scolding. Except for you, a newly emerging guy, those other guys had been scolded enough by others more than ten years ago, and now it's meaningless to find out."

Andrew was amused for Situ Nan's somewhat regretful look, and said to his heart: The weak and the strong eat the weak, how many people from their era are innocent?

Besides, in this world, if you want to succeed, isn't it the "corpse" of countless losers under it?

Situ Nan shrugged and stopped discussing the matter, thinking of another protagonist who is about to fall into the oil scandal: Pan American Petroleum Corporation and his boss Edward?Doheny.

Well, go back to Los Angeles and find a chance to meet that guy!

Situ Nan thought to himself.

The Situ Nan family spent an unforgettable Christmas in Washington, during which he went to Georgia to visit his good friend Franklin?Roosevelt then went to a small island to attend a gathering of rich people to discuss tax reforms in Congress in the coming year.

Back to New York was already in February of the following year, leaving his wife and children in Washington to accompany Andrew. Situ Nan left for New York to deal with the affairs of William Financial Holdings.

The approaching split of Occidental Petroleum involves complicated share adjustments. Some things need to be signed by Situ Nan in person.The most important thing is to witness Chevron Oil.

"How?" Coming out of William Street, Situ Nan came to the Robles Securities Building in less than ten minutes and went directly to Robles.

"Everything is arranged, you just sit here waiting to count the money."

Robles smiled triumphantly, pulled off his tie, took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and celebrated Chevron Petroleum's listing with Situ Nan in advance.

After 4 months of preparations, everything is ready, only Dongfeng owes it.

Robles Securities has strong issuance capabilities, has branches in New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Boston, and has business dealings with hundreds of financial institutions.

These financial institutions are all secondary underwriters. They have been ventilated by Robles Securities, knowing that Chevron Petroleum is going to be listed, and they have already prepared a lot of funds in their hands. Make a fortune from the listing of Chevron Petroleum.

In addition to those secondary underwriters, Morgan and Citi (Citibank has not yet changed its name to Citibank, called the City Bank of New York) these big banks are also tempted, have expressed their willingness to buy shares of Chevron Petroleum from Robles.

"The emperor is not in a hurry."

The situation satisfies Situ Nan, Robles Securities has made sufficient preparations, and Chevron's success in listing is affirmative.

"Okay! I'm waiting for your good news." After speaking, Situ Nan left the Robles company and went to the Hudson River villa to find his Canary Kuzdova.

On January 15, 1924, Chevron Petroleum Company was officially listed on the New York Stock Exchange, issuing 1 million ordinary shares at a price of 100 US dollars per share, with a total amount of 100 million US dollars, and the outstanding shares accounted for 30% of the total share capital.

This is the largest transaction in the US stock exchange market since the First World War, which has touched the hearts of countless Wall Street elites, so Chevron Petroleum has received as much attention as the later PetroChina.

Before the market opened, Stuart walked into the New York Stock Exchange in vigor. Robles Securities has a fixed trading seat on the Stock Exchange and is also one of the largest traders on the New York Stock Exchange, with hundreds of thousands every day. The shares are successfully traded through those brokers of Robles Securities.

Looking around, in the trading floor, heads are surging, and traders wearing different colored vests are busy back and forth. The blackboard on the wall records the prices of various stocks, densely packed, every once in a while, stocks The price changes and the numbers on the wall are also revised.

In front of the trading desk, typewriters and calculators are busy, and numerous numbers are calculated quickly, and then copied on the blackboard for the first time.

In addition to the ticking of the keyboard, it is more about the phone.The telephone is the main way of trading. Busy economic people can't wait to have more ears, because there are too many ringing in their ears, and trading instructions from various places make brokers annoyed and happy.
