Ripples rise, but in the end it is not calm?

After Situ Meiden left, Situ Nan's life gradually returned to its original rhythm, making money, making money, or making money······

Since all European capital withdrew from the United States, American capital not only got rid of the control of European capital, but also served the war in a steady stream, not to mention the ports of New York and Boston in the east, let's just say that the ports on the western Pacific coast such as Los Angeles and San Francisco were sent to Europe in an endless stream, some of which may have been sent to the bottom of the sea by German submarines, but most of them were sent to the front line, and then they were consumed all at once.

Profits are insane, and the spirit of adventure is never lacking for American businessmen, and the profits of a trip to Europe are enough to buy several ships.

Situ Nan's small shipping company operates four 5,000-ton cargo ships, but they do not run European routes, but travel between Southeast Asia and the eastern Pacific.

These lines were originally operated by the British shipping company, but now the situation of this old empire is a little bad, this "thousand years of empire maintained by the sea" was pinched by the Germans, a large number of merchant ships are sent to the icy Atlantic Ocean floor, there is not enough capacity to operate the world's routes, had to give up some routes to Japan in the western Pacific and the United States on the other side of the Atlantic, in order to ensure that they have enough capacity from the world's colonies such as India, South Africa, Canada, Australia scavenged troops and supplies to fill the trenches, the front line of barbed wire.

Although Situ Nan did not devote himself to the revolution of a certain organization as Situ Meiden expected, he established a relationship with Chinese merchants in Southeast Asia because of his business cooperation with An Liang Tang in North America, and this time Situ Nan seized the opportunity of the temporary retreat of European merchants and the temporary vacancy of the colonies in Southeast Asia, and shipped American products to Southeast Asia for sale, and also brought back various materials from Southeast Asia, such as rubber and pepper.

The Chinese in Southeast Asia have been operating for a hundred years and have been acting as middlemen between the local natives and colonizers, and have accumulated a little capital with their own hard work.

The current war between the two major military camps, the Entente led by Britain, France, and Russia, and the Allied powers, led by Germany and Austria, has stimulated the economic development of regions outside Europe.

Some Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia who had a high level of vision began to get involved in manufacturing, although many of them were low-tech industries, such as rubber processing, flour processing, tobacco processing, and tin mining, which undoubtedly gave Situ Nan a good opportunity, because he could provide American machines to these Chinese factory owners.

Of course, they can also choose Japanese machine qì, Chinese mainland machine qì import during the First World War was mostly Japanese machine qì, are textile, flour processing such light industry machine qì, history books often write: "1914-1920 is the spring of Chinese national capital." "Actually, this is a bright spring for Japanese manufacturing!

Through the export of capital, the export of products, and all kinds of barbaric plunder, the Japanese lightly completed their industrial upgrading, perfected light industry, and made a lot of profits to lay the foundation of the country's heavy industry.

However, now Southeast Asia is a little far away from Japan, and this is the private territory of the European powers, and the Japanese do not have that long to reach for a while. At the same time, the national sentiment of the Chinese people will not have a good impression of Japan, so it is undesirable for Situ Nan to provide a channel for machine and technical support.

Thinking about it, Situ Nan thought to himself about going to Southeast Asia at any time, after all, the resources there are abundant, and with his special identity, there should be no problem with small achievements.

Mixed Chinese and British, lacking the skin of an American businessman, sometimes, this mongrel identity can be regarded as a kind of Cheng dù is a kind of unique blessing.

Situ Nan started with oil, but he knew that a large part of the oil reserves of the United States were already in his hands, although many of them were buried in remote areas, but although the resources of the United States were abundant, the total amount was so much, Situ Nan and his Western oil companies could no longer compete with those oligarchs in the United States, although now due to the European war, everyone made a fortune peacefully, but once the war ended? Five years from now, ten years from now?

If it fights with the oligarchs in the United States, it is better to look elsewhere, in addition to South America, Southeast Asia is also a good choice.

How can I say that the United States is also a super power, although it has not yet exerted its strength, but the potential of all countries is known, in Southeast Asia, in addition to Britain and France, the Netherlands, which does not enter the stream, does not also have a place for the United States? The Philippines is a colony of the United States, although the United States has been a little sloppy in governance, which is exactly what Situ Nan is happy to see.

Time is what Situ Nan needs most now, although he is a "visitor from outside the sky" and endowed with aliens, but if there is no good environment, if he participates in the fierce competition too early, he will die if he doesn't make trouble!

Although Situ Nan's career has swelled greatly in the United States, it has never been comparable with the eastern Rockefeller, Morgan, Mellon, DuPont and other conglomerates, one is that the time is short, but those families have already achieved an absolute position in important industries, they have already established a position in the circle of games, and they broke in halfway, and they may be able to squeeze into their circle in thirty or fifty years. But if you can't become one of them, you will always be ostracized and suppressed by them.

It's not that Situ Nan is ambitious, but his experience is too unrebellious, just in a period when human industrial civilization is flourishing, and this person happens to have capital and vision, and it is not difficult to understand that he has built his own empire in thirty or fifty years.

Sometimes Situ Nan wondered if his self-confidence was bursting? Could it be that people are lost in coming to this plane and achieving achievements that were unimaginable in the original plane?

And Morgan, what about Rockefeller! It's better not to be too yy, too rich fantasies are not conducive to people recognizing the true situation of things, guiding people to make mistakes, and being a man still has to be down-to-earth.

In any case, Situ Nan faintly felt that his answer was in Southeast Asia, the land that made countless Chinese sad.

I don't know what Situ Meiden thinks, but he left, but left the young man named Ah Yong behind.

When Situ Nan asked, he learned that Ah Yong's name was Lin Yong, and he was also a descendant of Chinese railroad workers in the United States, and he was later adopted by Situ Meiden and renamed Situ Yong.

It's good, but people are relatively straight, and their temper is a little short-tempered, isn't it? A few days after Situ Meiden left, he got into a fight with Situ Nan's guard Han Gang, and the two had a fight, but the result seemed to be indistinguishable from each other, this matter was only known by Situ Nan when he saw a scar on Han Gang's face and asked casually, and he usually didn't care much about these things.

"If he doesn't make trouble, let him do as he likes!" Situ Nan said to Han Gang, no matter what Situ Meideng's righteous son says, it has something to do with him.

"Hmm. I know. Han Gang replied. But he has a headache for this Situ Yong guy, since the two of them had a fight, every three or five days, this guy who is a bit of a martial arts idiot has challenged himself, well, his face is still a little thick. In the end, Han Gang had no choice but to send this overly energetic guy to He Wenxiu's security company for training.

Dead friends don't die poor! But thinking of He Wenxiu's cold dead face, it is estimated that this thorny Situ Yong was tossed very miserably, right?

"Tell me to go to San Francisco tomorrow." Situ Nan stopped playing basketball on a whim, and said to Han Gang, who was working hard, that he and a few team members were on guard seriously, even at home.

Situ Nan said him twice, but he still went his own way, in this regard. With such a conscientious security captain, Situ Nan was also very happy in his heart.

In this year, Situ Nan rarely went far away, almost all of them stayed in Los Angeles, and he didn't even go to investigate the Texas industry, and he usually contacted everything by telegraph, and his operation in the New York stock market was also operated by his own professional team through the telegram.

Of course, Hantec made a lot of noise for Occidental Petroleum, and Robles made a lot of telegrams, saying that Houston was developing very fast, and its various industries were developing very well.

This is also the reason why Situ Nan is doing so well in Los Angeles. In fact, Situ Nan is generally aware of the financial situation of various companies, and it is not easy for anyone to fool him.

······

In his previous life, Situ Nan was accustomed to the plane travel of "morning and evening", and he has been in this time and space for several years, and he has slowly become accustomed to the slow transportation in his previous life, such as trains or boats.

Situ Nan is now rich, and he naturally pays attention to style, so he chartered a luxury carriage on the train. Of course, this is not because he is sassy, but in addition to him, he also brought a few bodyguards.

After Situ Yong was trained by He Wenxiu for more than a month, he became a lot darker and stronger, and this time he went back to San Francisco with Situ Nan.

He went to the security company to train, and Situ Nan also knew that this was his acquiescence. Without his permission, it would be impossible for He Wenxiu to let Situ Yong undergo special, special forces-like training. In fact, only a small number of people in security companies receive intensive training, and they are not only trained secretly alone, but also are paid far more than ordinary security guards.

Situ Nan heard Han Gang say, don't look at Situ Yong's hand-to-hand hand, and he is not bad at hand-to-hand competition, but it is really not too difficult for Han Gang to kill Situ Yong.

Rifle shooting, cold weapon fighting, disguise, stealth, sneak attack······ At the beginning, Situ Nan was also unintentionally interested, and told He Wenxiu the information about the special forces he knew in his previous life, and later recruited several good players with their own know-how, combined the wisdom of everyone, and started special training.

In addition to having some interest in playing at the beginning, Situ Nan's enthusiasm was almost worn out because he was busy with other things, and he rarely participated in it later. However, He Wenxiu liked this job, and changed his ways to repair those sturdy guys.

There are no threes, twos, threes, and I dare not go to Liangshan. He Wenxiu has been fighting with white cowboys in the western United States for many years, and he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, if he hadn't followed Situ Nan all the time after meeting Situ Nan, He Wenxiu would have fought with white cowboys everywhere!

In 1913, when Situ Nan took He Wenxiu and a few people to secretly acquire land everywhere in Texas, he encountered many bandits, but fortunately He Wenxiu saved the day with them. One night, Situ Nan was awakened by urine, and when he got up, he found He Wenxiu coming back with a bloody smell.

When he finished his mission and left the next day, Situ Nan heard that a dozen people had been killed overnight by a villain who had helped open a casino! Those people just humiliated Situ Nan's gang before, because there were Chinese in Situ Nan's gang!

This is a tacit understanding between Situ Nan and He Wenxiu, and no one has said it, although Situ Nan doesn't know how He Wenxiu did it, and he doesn't care, he only knows that he can trust this person.

Usually, He Wenxiu is usually in the training base of the security company except for returning to Situ Nan's manor, he doesn't like to manage business very much, otherwise what kind of position does he have with his relationship with Situ Nan? Many of Situ Nan's industries have shares reserved for He Wenxiu, but this guy doesn't care about this at all, in his words, it's not bad to help Situ Nan cultivate a group of minions.

"Brother Nan, you are really a**!" Situ Yong looked at the luxurious decoration of the carriage, "It's too expensive for this person to make such a big and expensive carriage." This money can buy several handfuls of money to equip our revolutionary comrades. ”

This guy is really familiar, and he is rarely polite in Situ Nan's house, and it is fashionable to say that he just doesn't treat himself as an outsider. He is one year younger than Situ Nan, only 20 years old, Situ Nan was only 17 years old when he crossed over to the Titanic as a crew member, and it has been more than four years since he came to this world in a blink of an eye, although he is only 21 years old, but he developed early, and he has experienced so many things, and he has matured some vicissitudes, which is also where others are surprised by his youth and old age.

Everyone has their own choice, Situ Yong is just a young and vigorous young man in Situ Nan's opinion, everyone has been young, and young people with ideals are full of ideals, although sometimes they will do some impatient things, which is beyond reproach. Besides, these are young people who love the revolution.

"The money I earn is spent fairly, what is extravagance!" Situ Nan smiled and picked up his coffee, took a sip and said, "You care so much about this money, just stay and work for me, the monthly salary is enough for you to buy a gun." After a year, you can buy a dozen or twenty guns with your salary and bonuses, isn't this a contribution to your revolution? What do you think? Think about it? Situ Nan quipped.

"Don't think! I'm going to go back to the revolution so that I don't want to be a dog leg for you, an unscrupulous trader! Situ Yong said confidently.

"Say what? Who's a dogleg? "Han Gang wanted to go up and teach this open-mouthed guy a lesson.

"Brother Han, didn't I mean you?" Situ Yong hurriedly explained. doesn't know each other, in fact, he and Han Gang are quite good.

"So they are?" Han Gang glanced back at a few team members in the carriage, and several fierce sweaters were glaring angrily.

"It's not about them. Brothers, my brother said the wrong thing. Adults can forgive me a lot! Situ Yong said with a crying face, when he came back from He Wenxiu, he reverted to his old ways, looked for someone to challenge, thinking that his skills had increased greatly, and challenged several people at the same time, but it was repaired miserably. He's really afraid of these guys, he's not afraid of one-on-one heads-up or open-minded fighting, but it's a pity that as soon as these guys join forces, all kinds of tricky sneak attacks are unguardable, and they can't parry at all.

"Alright, stop making a fuss. I'll sleep for a while and call me again at dinner in the evening. Situ Nan waved his hand and said. Knowing that Situ Nan was going out today and hadn't been at home for a while, Mary was very enthusiastic last night, which made Situ Nan unable to parry, and tossed for most of the night to take down this big ocean horse. Now Situ Nan is not only a little sleepy, well, his waist is still a little sore!

Han Gang and a few of them were guarding outside the door. Amid the rumbling sound of cars, Situ Nan fell asleep. He had a very strange dream, he dreamed that under the railroad tracks were the faces of the Chinese railway workers who had died tragically, their faces were terrified, and they were shouting something resentfully, and they could not hear it clearly in the rumbling of the train, and they were frantically trying to reach up and grab their faces! Situ Nan found that the thick iron plate of the train could not stop their hands at all, and thousands of hands were about to catch their faces.

"Ahh With a shrill scream, the dream awoke.

"Boss, are you alright?" Han Gang rushed in and found Situ Nan sitting up from the bed, sweating profusely, his face was pale, he was panting constantly, and the sheets were scratched together.

"It's okay, I had a nightmare!" Situ Nan came back to his senses and found that Han Gang was searching everywhere, and a bodyguard was sticking his head out of the window to check.

"Pour me a drink!" Situ Nan had palpitations, originally he thought that after experiencing the tragic sinking of the Titanic, there was nothing in this world that could scare him. But just now, his soul was trembling with a wave of injustice, and this happened too suddenly.

After pouring a glass of wine, Situ Nan's body gradually became warm, and his mood calmed down. After Han Gang exited the door, Situ Nan stayed in the room again and was stunned. After thinking about it for a long time, there is still no answer to why I have such a nightmare.

Maybe it's thinking about it day and dreaming at night! Even though it's daytime!

Rumble ······ The train still roared forward, and the scenery outside the window kept receding.

Looking out the window at the mountains, how much manpower and material resources does it take to build a railway in such a place? Situ Nan seemed to see those numb Chinese laborers slumping under the rough leather whip of the white man's head, building railways with difficulty in the scorching sun, in the ice and snow, on the cliffs and on the dangerous shoals, and they were accidentally crushed. With the continuous extension of the railway, more and more Chinese workers fell behind them, and their souls turned into a handful of loess under the sleepers.

It seemed that there was a sadness in the air, lingering in Situ Nan's heart.

"Are you going to do something?" Situ Nan muttered, only the rumbling body responded.
