Forty-four go home

As soon as I went out, I went straight to the long-distance telephone bureau, and I didn't receive a call back for the telegram all the way in front, and I thought that my home had moved, and the road was busy, and the phone calls to my home were only available in big cities, so Kane never let go of his heart, and as expected, there was just a busy tone on the phone, and the bad thing was that there were few people around Kane's house, and it was impossible to hit the neighbors. When he got back to the hotel, he sent Li Med to buy a train ticket, and he had to rush home as soon as possible to see it, although he didn't have much feeling about this later home.

While Kane was waiting anxiously in the hotel, the phone suddenly rang, and "Hello" Kane heard a not-so-clear male voice coming from inside, and shouted, "Daddy!" The other end of the line laughed, "I'm not your father, Kane, am I?" I'm your partner, Rockefeller, do you have time to come over for a cup of coffee with me? Kane's face flushed, and the oil king continued, "But I know some news about your father, and we will talk about it when you come."

The oil king personally called to summon him, and Kane had to go, but little Loro had to stay at home, for fear of meeting any rich man who took a fancy to his wife. Not long after the two of them arrived downstairs, a latest-version Cadillac stopped in front of the hotel, and a shrewd and capable guy opened the door, "Is it Mr. Kane?" Please get in the car" This Cadillac is equipped with a turn signal, yes, it is the first to install a turn signal when other cars have not, and when turning, the young driver proudly pulls out the lever to steer, but unfortunately the recoiled Kane can't see it.

Snake Eyes looked at the luxurious decoration in the car, and couldn't help touching left and right, "Brother Kai, this car is so beautiful, you see that the seats are all leather, and this wood is very good-looking!" Kane dismissed, "What a good car, it's shocking to death, wait a while, your Kai brother will build a car for you to see!" "The driver almost hit a lamp pole, 'bragging!'

Instead of going to the Standard Oil Building, I stopped outside an unknown manor, which is not too big, but it is rare in New York, where land is at a premium. John Rockefeller Jr. personally greeted him at the door, flattering Kane, who was a trembling figure who stomped his feet in the United States, and didn't know what his purpose was to recruit himself, although he had some patent fees in sulfonamides, but he had not consulted much, I don't know if this guy would hack his own money! Behind Little John is a young man who looks quite like him, about the same age as Kane, probably the third Lawrence, this guy will be a financial maniac in the future.

After the three of them sat down, served coffee, and Rockefeller said, "I didn't expect our little inventor to be so powerful, and you have become a celebrity for a while!" Kane wondered a little, "Isn't it just a sulfonamide?" It's all in the past, why are you still famous now? "Hahahaha, it seems that you are still in the dark, have you applied for the oxygen top blowing steelmaking method? The British are now boasting every day, the whole steel industry is crazy, looking for you to buy patents everywhere, you are good, play missing, if it weren't for the appearance of Morgan Stanley today, it is estimated that they would have to go to China to find it! Kane then remembered the patent he entrusted to Li Med, but his information had been in a semi-closed state, so much so that he put this matter aside, and immediately smirked, "I forgot about it." ”

The big and small Rockefellers laughed in unison, and the oil king laughed, "What a great ability to forget about this big thing, now it's okay, the United Steel Company is going to fight a lawsuit with you, the reason is that you don't show up all the time, which delays the technical transformation of others!" Haha, aren't these people here to drive down prices? Do you want me to support your lawyers? I'd love to see how they look deflated. ”

Kane said magnanimously, "It doesn't matter much, it's a big deal that I'll buy more equipment from them, and I'm going to build a steel mill too." The oil king shook his index finger, "It's not a good idea to open a steel mill at this time, although you have a lot of gold, but it's not enough to see in front of these predators, as long as they make a little move, you will have to go out of business obediently!" Kane smiled, "I'm not going to drive in the United States." Seeing the two of them staring at each other, "I want to open it in Canada, so that they won't have a job" The oil king nodded, "This method is good, it just so happens that you can also set up a bank over there, and this period of sulfonamide dividends and patent fees add up to more than two million dollars, which can be used" Kane nodded "I plan to open a bank in the United States and a branch in Canada, so that it is more convenient for both sides." ”

Then Kane asked if there was any news of his father, Rockefeller said, "Your father wanted to make a big one a while ago, and took out a loan to buy a batch of arms, but he didn't expect the fleet to disappear in the Baimu area when he took a shortcut, and lost a lot of money, and even sold his family's house, and ran to New York empty-handed, I saw that he had nothing to do, and gave him a batch of machine tools on credit, but I heard that the sales were not very good" Kane was speechless for a while, and he didn't do a good machine tool, but he wanted to do what kind of arms dealership, is there so good to do? "Where is the other man? I want to see him as soon as possible. The oil king said to Lawrence, "You go with Kane, and come back by yourself in the evening, I guess someone wants to invite Kane today, and I will have a family banquet tomorrow." ”

It was still the Cadillac just now, Snake Eye was sitting in the co-pilot, bored on the road, and Snake Eye asked, "Brother Kai, you haven't said what kind of car you are going to build?" "Kane Road" speaks English. After switching to English, everyone could understand it, and Lawrence became interested, "You can still build cars?" Oh, I forgot, you'll be mechanical. Kane said: "Some people say that the United States is a country that sits on wheels, is it interested in building a car factory?" Don't worry, I'll give you a few car design drawings tomorrow that will blow everyone's eyeballs, and I'm sure you like it. But before that, you have to help me run down dozens of car patents, and in the future, we just don't play with cars, and it's enough to eat and drink" Lawrence surprised "car patents"? Dozens more? "Not only that, but there are many chemical aspects, and I'll go on a run with you tomorrow."

There was a dilapidated truck parked on the corner of the street, the compartment board was put down, and a machine tool was wiped clean, but unfortunately it didn't look new at a glance, a slightly chubby middle-aged man was pulling a customer to desperately sell "This machine tool has been carefully sorted out by me, and it is definitely a hundred times better than a new bed, and ~~" The man kept shaking his head, "I know you are a good hand, but there are not 10,000 or 5,000 of this old machine tool in New York, and everyone is scrap iron price, and then the personnel, as long as you shout out fifty dollars a week, There will be countless old workers who will break their heads and come to sort out the machine for me, which one do you say is cost-effective? The client left, and the middle-aged man hung down his arms weakly, then squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, and his temples were already showing gray hair.

"How much does this lathe cost? I want it" A voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "This machine tool is the best" The middle-aged man shouted, and then looked up to find that it was Lawrence, and smiled awkwardly at the moment, "I'm sorry, I haven't sold a single one in the past few days." "Daddy, is that you?" You okay? "Billy Kane suddenly found out that there was a person behind Lawrence, wasn't it his son Kane?" Kane, is that you? I sent a telegram to China, they said you are gone, I have been looking for you, Kane "the two hugged fiercely, tears fell involuntarily" Yes, father, I came back and never left. ”

Lawrence waited for a long time before he couldn't help but say, "Kane, you should take us to your house to have a look, and let me visit my aunt" The father and son woke up in shock, and the father and son quickly climbed into the truck like a young man, "Let's go, son, I'll take you home and let your mother make your favorite braised pork" Although the truck is shabby, it can drive with a normal sound, "Father, is this your own car?" Lao Kai smiled, "How can I have spare money to buy a car, pick it up in the old parking lot, and find a few other broken cars to get together, how about it?" Doesn't it drive well? ”

Outside the old parking lot, a fence was blocked with a carriage board, Lao Kai was so high-spirited that he drove directly into the courtyard door, and stopped in the yard with a "crunch", where is there any home, it is the iron covered house on some cars, there are more than a dozen lathes in the yard, and the first one is covered with old cloth, "Lin, look who is back, come out and see" A middle-aged woman ran out of the house when she heard the voice, with a slender figure, long black hair tied behind her head, slender eyes, clean skin, and looked like she was in her thirties, "Kane, your mother is really young." , it's beautiful" Lawrence praised, Lao Luo nodded, "I don't see whose wife it is" "Kane, is that you?" You're back? The soup spoon in the mother's hand fell to the ground, and the "mother" Kane ran forward with a scream, and suddenly knelt in his mother's arms, Lin Shengnan hugged his son's head, and tears fell into the black hair. Lawrence turned his head, "It's so touching, it's a little like crying", not to mention him, Snake Eyes also turned his head to wipe his tears. It was only at the end that the father stopped, "Lin, go buy some food, my son is going to eat braised pork." ”

Kane's mother was just about to go out, but suddenly stopped, still Lawrence was clever, took out a stack of dollars from his pocket, "Snake Eyes, drive my car" Snake Eyes pushed back and patted his pocket, "I'm the head treasurer, don't worry" After speaking, he got into Cadillac.

He poked his head out of the car window again, "I am Chinese, I will buy Chinese food!" ”
