The journey starts from the Titanic

Henda Brown said sincerely, shaking hands with Sinclair firmly.

Sinclair was a little touched, and he opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the number-this time he really made a big deal.

Henda Brown and the people in the American oil industry have a bad impression of him. The oil scandal on the teapot has not yet ended. He is wanted and has to go overseas. It is normal to be looked down upon like a bereavement dog.

It's really not easy to get Henda Brown to say such things now.

Two good words were not enough to make Sinclair's head dizzy. He calmed down quickly and received his superiors politely.

Material rewards are indispensable. Henda Brown told Sinclair that the board of directors decided to award 5% of Sinclair's shares for hard work, which surprised Sinclair.

"Yes, I know this is a big reward. The company's stock has risen a lot recently. Taking advantage of the good stock market, the company is preparing to issue new shares, so there is no need to worry about funding."

Henda Brown smiled.

Except for Sinclair, employees in Libya and North Africa, because of their outstanding business, have received the company's stock awards. Chevron oil stocks with a stock price of more than US$2 are worth more than the US dollar.

Hengda Brown regained the goodwill of the employees of the branch company through "buying" and brought back the relationship between the board of directors and overseas employees.

Sinclair claimed that he hadn't been back to the United States for several years and his family was still in the United States, and he asked the company to come forward to bring his lawsuit.

Henda Brown agreed, comforting Sinclair: "You know the relationship between the boss and the Mellon family, as long as he can fix it with a word. But at the same time, you also know how difficult it is for him to ask others.

But even if you don’t use your boss’s personal relationship, the board of directors will help you with the lawsuit that year. You must be mentally prepared and you will be troubled by the Department of Justice for a few days when you return to the United States.

The authority of the federal law still needs to be upheld, ha ha."

It’s actually very troublesome to open up the relationship and let the Ministry of Justice release Sinclair, but who made Sinclair so much credit? The board of directors will not reject Sinclair’s request, nor will it shed such outstanding employees. overseas.

Sinclair's heart warmed after hearing this. He also understood Situ Nan's character and would not speak to the Mellon family easily, otherwise it would not be that Chevron Oil Company often takes care of Gulf Oil Company, but the other way around.

Sinclair did not complain about Situ Nan. If Situ Nan had not taken in and supported him, his condition would be worse if he lived in other places.Without Situ Nan nodding, would Henda Brown kindly help himself settle the lawsuit?

After talking about personal affairs, the two turned their attention to corporate affairs.

When I came to Silt Harbor again, there was a lot of excitement here. At the pier, I also encountered a passenger ship with Chinese characters written on the side of the ship. The ship is not big and has a displacement of seven or eight thousand tons or even tens of thousands of tons. What is surprising is A group of black-haired and yellow-skinned Chinese in blue overalls came down from above.

When they arrived in a foreign country, their faces showed curiosity and restraint, and they landed in an orderly manner under the command of the leader.

I was quickly surprised to find that there were many Chinese with the same yellow skin and black hair on the streets of Sirte, greeting each other to their hometown and the whole family.

In addition to the unreadable English and Italian in the two lines on the street, the shop signs on the street also have familiar Chinese characters on the bottom.

There was also a group of young officers on the ship who did not disembark, standing on the deck watching the small town on the dock and pointing, talking and laughing.Their next stop is Europe, the Royal Navy Greenwich School or the Munich Military Academy in Germany.

Xu Xiangqian looked at Silt Port in silence, behind which was the Mediterranean Sea, the heart of Europe.

I don't know what the above is thinking. I have obviously performed mediocre in South China after participating in low-intensity security operations, but the above actually sent him to study in Germany?Instead of performing well, Hu Zongnan, who wiped out two gangsters at once?

Nanhua and his party have become a watershed for the future of the students. Some continue to fight in Nanhua, some return to China and are reused, and many lucky people are sent to study abroad.

Xu Xiangqian felt that he was lucky, and he was careful to discover that Hu Zongnan, Jiang Dingwen and other students who stayed in Nanhua and were recruited into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and were promoted to make a fortune are all people with agility, flexible methods, and more fame and fortune, so they are fighting bandits. In action, even more unscrupulous!

In contrast, most of my classmates studying abroad are honest people and have a purer military temperament.

If you stay in Nanhua and work with Hu Zongnan and the others, you will soon be worth over 10,000 and you will have a hundred acres of fertile land?

Xu Xiangqian didn't want to comment on the experience of "suppressing bandits" in South China. There are too many negative elements of greed and brutality. At the same time, he also knows how miserable the hungry people in the country are going south from the Central Plains!

"If we don't suppress bandits and don't have enough land to cultivate, then relatives in our hometown will starve to death!"

Recalling the words of his boss, Xu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, with a kind of relief. He walked through the Suez Canal in Mumbai, Singapore, and saw the arrogant white people and countless Chinese who were struggling to make a living overseas. His experience with South China seemed to be Not so disgusted anymore.

"You, your mind is too heavy, don't think too much. You have a miserable face, if you are not cheerful, be careful that the German girl ignores you!"

Xu Xiangqian's handsome young man suddenly jumped out a word. He was Xu Xiangqian met on the boat. He was also not talkative. Instead, the two became friends with "more talkers", but he studied the navy and he was going to England.

"What nonsense? The state sent us to learn, not for fun." Xu Xiangqian said.

Because of Germany's defeat in the war, its economy was not good. After the war, a large number of Germans emigrated to South China.In France, many men and many boys and girls died. After the war, many Chinese workers abducted French women and settled in South China.

In the South China Army, foreigners are often associated with war, and military instructors will also joke that this is the price of war.If you can't hide away like the Yankees, then you must arm yourself for the next wave of war.

"Come all the way, it's an eye-opener!"

He said with emotion, "When I was in China, what I thought most was to overthrow the warlords, drive away foreigners, and let the people live a good life. Looking at the outside world, my thinking has changed a little, and my perspective on problems is also different. One acre of three-quarter loess is meaningless, it's still galloping across the sea, competing for supremacy in the ocean, and even more magnificent! Life is wonderful!"

"Who said that he was forced to study the navy, but now he speaks with a strong navy flavor? Doesn't it look down on our turtles?" Xu Xiangqian teased, "Unfortunately, the marine hegemony you are looking forward to has ended. Are you on holiday?"

"No! There is always one day! Didn't you find that the country is investing more and more in shipbuilding this year? The finances have also spread a lot of fishery companies and manage them to operate offshore, not to mention the shipping companies, the banks have given them a lot What about loans?

All this shows that the potential of the Navy is growing rapidly. When we return from our studies, we will certainly be useful!"

Self-channel.

"Country? Which country are you from now?" Xu Xiangqian asked with a sudden smile.

After hearing this...

"Let's go! Go and take a look! See if there is any old vinegar in the restaurant below?" Xu Xiangqian replied.

"Alright! I heard that the Americans are about to fight the Italians for Libya's oil!" said, thinking of today's news of the US fleet's visit to the Mediterranean.

In Libya, they are just passing by. After witnessing the Chinese active development in Africa, they continue to travel to Europe, looking for the legendary "Fire and Sword"!

"There are a lot of Chinese people here! It feels like walking in Chinatown in Los Angeles." Chevron Oil Company Building, the tallest building in Silt Harbor, Hengda Brown smiled as he looked at Silt City outside the street.

"When it was built, apart from white engineers, 70 to 80% of the workers were from South China."

Sinclair smiled and added to his heart, without these cheap and easy-to-use Chinese workers, if the headquarters allocated him to recruit workers from the United States to develop Libyan oil fields, it is estimated that the Libyan branch would have gone bankrupt.

Because of the friendship that grows together, Sinclair and the Libya branch have a friendly attitude towards Chinese workers. In addition to the necessary technicians, ordinary worker positions are willing to provide Chinese workers.

Of course, it must be mentioned here that the Chinese workers and technicians dispatched to Libya have experience in participating in the Construction Corps or engaged in oil exploration and exploitation in South China. They are very good workers. Under the guidance of Zhou Ziqiang, they work hard and obediently. Don't make trouble, dare to do it, and can take on defense tasks.

"Will an excessively high proportion of Chinese workers end up in big tails and hinder the work development?" Henda Brown asked with some worry.

"If you do this elsewhere, it must be politically incorrect. But in Libya, we are Chevron Petroleum. Instead, they are a trusted object. Now they are fighting with us. When you see Zhou, you will understood."

Sinclair laughed.

He pointed to the Sirte Police Station opposite. There were a few decadent colonial policemen standing in front of the police station. He smiled and said: "When I was in Tripoli, the governor said that he would transfer troops. Like this colonial regiment, it’s not as good as us. The company’s security team!"

Sinclair looked disdainful and did not put Italians in his eyes. If he was in Tripoli or Benghazi, he might be a little jealous, but the Silt Port, built by Chevron Petroleum, was built by Chevron. , The existence of Italians is too weak.

As long as the unknown face fights, Silt Port or Chevron Oil Company has the final say!

Hengda Brown saw Sinclair's tough attitude, and secretly praised it in his heart. To develop overseas requires a person like Sinclair who is brave and not reckless.
