After He Yongyuan went out, Situ Nan was in a good mood, thinking to himself, after Mitsui's old guys got Occidental Oil's reply, would they be so angry that they scolded European and American ghosts? To make contempt for the Great Japanese Empire? The conscience is greatly broken!
Lighting a cigar, he silently thought in the room, and the flickering sparks showed Situ Nan's intense inner activity.
Oil is like a chain trapped in Japan's neck, without oil, those devils would have gone to the South Seas to die like they used to!
Well, you have to prepare planes and submarines, otherwise you won't be able to deal with those crazy Japanese Navy.
"Look how I play you to death!" After speaking, Situ Nan poked out the cigar fiercely.
"Who are you going to play to death?" I don't know when, Laura appeared behind Situ Nan, "I didn't respond to calling you just now, my dear, don't sit in the room and calculate."
How about taking some time to go shopping with me? It's been a long time—"
Seeing Laura's somewhat coquettish appearance, Situ Nan's heart was hot, and he pulled Laura into his arms.
The faint sea breeze, the blue night, every emotional look in the lover's eyes wants to be touched, which makes people intoxicated.
How can you miss such a beautiful day?
When the wind and rain stopped, Situ Nan and Laura Kazuo lay on the special sofa in the room, continuing to talk tenderly.
Laura's temples were scattered, her face was full of spring tides, her blue eyes were full of spring water, she gasped slightly, and the fragrant wind she exhaled swept over Situ Nan's skin, a little crispy and itchy, which made Situ Nan love it very much.
"You're the most wonderful woman I've ever met, with fair skin and a little sweet milk, it's so fascinating."
Situ Nandao, "You know that most Westerners have a strong body odor, and their skin is rougher—"
"How do you know, have you seen a lot of Western women?" Laura smiled charmingly, her eyes a little sharp.
"Well, I originally had such a plan, but after seeing the best of you, my mind faded and I was gone."
Situ Nan smiled slightly, and pinched Laura's tender chest hard.
"Ahh Laura couldn't help but let out a coquettish sigh and trembled all over, hugging Situ tightly
30 seconds later, before Situ Nan could act again, she stopped Situ Nan's hand and suddenly asked, "What about the Chinese woman7 Don't lie, I saw you today that Miss Song's eyes were wrong." ”
Laura's keen eyes made Situ Nan a little flustered, his face was stunned and a little caught off guard, stunned for a second, and Ma reacted: "Song is naturally a charming woman, very worthy of appreciation, I was just flashed by her." But don't you think you're the best? You know, I was so fascinated by you that people were stupid. ”
Situ Nan hurriedly staggered the topic, and he admitted that at that second, he had a little impulse to derail in his spirit. But, listening to Laura's tone, she doesn't seem to be very angry?!
"Lie, I remember the first time we met, you ignored it. It's just a small broken crew, and it's so proud! Laura glanced at Situ Nan, even if Situ Nan was used to the coquettish style, he was still habitually moved.
"Actually, my heart is already surging, you don't know. You know, I, who loves face, was a poor boy at the time, and I was naturally timid in the face of a big lady like you. Situ Nan said with a smile.
Laura knew that Situ Nan was coaxing herself to be happy, and only the person concerned knew that Situ Nan's heart in Titanic was separated by a thick wall, and no one wanted to enter his heart.
"Hey! What are you doing? Stop, I'm tired! Ahh ”
The tide ebbs and flows.
"Oh no, you just got in!" Laura said with some concern, today is a less safe day.
"I did it on purpose. Don't you think Andy is too lonely? It's time to give him a sister, to be as beautiful as you, preferably preferably prettier than you. ”
Situ Nan smiled, feeling a little conspiracy successful.
"You-bastard! You want to kill me! Laura had no strength at all, slumped on the sofa like mud, stared at Situ Nan viciously, and said weakly, "Originally, I wanted to be more lenient with you, but now-"
"What was it meant to be?" Situ Nan's ears were sharp, and he was about to ask, but he heard a milk voice under the chair - "Sister, sister"
Situ Nan turned over to look, but saw the childish face of his son Little Andy, "Hehe! This guy was smiling at Situ Nan.
"Why is he here?" Situ Nanda looked at Laura, who also had a look on her face.
"Just now he was looking for you, so he crawled all the way over, and I followed him, but after talking to you, I forgot about him."
Laura blushed and explained, embarrassed to face Situ Nan, so she got up and hugged Andy.
"Come on, baby!" She got up naked and went to hug Andy. Behind closed doors, she is quite open to the family.
It was late at night, and after a while, little Andy fell asleep, hugging Laura's arm tightly like a sloth.
Situ Nan leaned back on the sofa, smiling at the gentle Laura, and the naughty and lovely son, with indescribable satisfaction in his heart.
After tossing and turning all night, he was also tired and fell asleep in a daze.
The next day. Situ Nan couldn't wait to cross the river to inspect the wharves and warehouses of the Western Petroleum Company. In Pudong Port, where every inch of land is valuable, it is both strength and luck to be able to occupy a 300-meter-long dedicated oil port wharf.
Because the original owner, the Russian oil company, has launched the Asian market due to domestic turmoil, and the dock warehouse they worked so hard to build has been taken down by the Western oil company, and now the size has quadrupled.
The fly in the ointment is that there is a good section of the terminal near the Occidental Petroleum Company that is in the hands of a Chinese company.
"If you can buy it, it will be better to expand your own oil port." Situ Nan ■ accompanied by Occidental Petroleum China President Bill = Walter Road.
"Mr. William, we've tried, but the other party won't. I'd already paid double the price, but the stubborn Chinese merchant just wouldn't want to build his own steamship company's dock. Bill = Walter said helplessly.
"Oh?" Situ Nan was interested, thinking that the Chinese businessman who could refuse the Western oil company really had some backbone.
"I want that person's information, I'll try it!" Situ Nan commanded.
"Okay." Bill said briskly. Then he gave Situ Nan a detailed account of the situation of the Western Petroleum Company in China, although he already knew the situation from the report, but he felt more down-to-earth when he heard it with his own ears.
"Give you a task, within 5 years, surpass Mobil Oil in the Chinese market, can you do it? If you succeed, I will transfer you to the US headquarters as a vice president! Situ Nan said excitedly.
Bill = Walter blushed when he heard this, and the excitement in his eyes could not be concealed.
"Okay! Mr. William・You will see. Bill = Walter said confidently.
"Hmmm! Well done! We're not just going to beat Mobil in Asia and back to the U.S., we're going to have to beat Mobil and Exxon, and I'm looking forward to you coming back and fighting with us. Situ Nan encouraged.
Bill Walter was one of the veterans of Occidental Petroleum and served as a sales manager while in California.
Later, when Western Petroleum wanted to enter the Asian market, Situ Nan sent the young and vigorous Bill = Walter. In recent years, Bill = Walt's table xiàn has also satisfied Situ Nan.
It is not too difficult for Occidental Petroleum to surpass Mobil, but in addition to Mobil, Rockefeller also has an oil company that is no less than Mobil -- Exxon Oil, and their combined strength is much stronger than that of Occidental Petroleum Company.
Hearing Situ Nan say this, Bill = Walter realized that the ambition of his boss was far beyond his imagination. Just like every banker wants to be Morgan and every entrepreneur wants to be Rockefeller, Bill = Walter got the promise from Situ Nan and secretly decided to surpass Mobil Oil in the Chinese market.
After inspecting the oil company, Situ Nan returned to the William. His English secretary, Little Kadoorie, looked for a house.
"So fast?" Situ Nan was very surprised by Little Kadoorie's ability to do things, and he was able to find a house that met his requirements in one day.
It seems that he is going to add some heavy responsibilities to Little Kadoorie, Situ Nan looked at Little Kadoorie and thought to himself.
Little Kadoorie's face suddenly turned a little red, and his face was a little hesitant.
Situ Nan was a little curious, so he asked, "Why is there a problem?" ”
"Yes - the house is a bit expensive!" Kadoorie Jr. said.
"Expensive?! How expensive is the law? Situ Nan smiled.
"Ten thousand silver taels!" Kadoorie Jr. said.
"It's a bit expensive! That's almost 140,000,000 silver dollars. Situ Nan nodded, and said in his heart: Good girl! It's almost time to catch up with the William! It's almost time to change to a warship Zhenyuan.
"But what do you have to be embarrassed about?" Situ Nan asked curiously.
"That's our house!" Little Kadoorie smiled bitterly.
It turned out that when the Kadoorie family was building a new house, they left due to a temporary important matter, and entrusted the construction to the famous designer Grahan. Brown.
But I didn't know that Grahan was a famous drunkard, and he often expressed his pride in the drawings after drinking enough brandy, and as a result, he turned a mansion with a budget of 100,000 yuan for four or five people into a marble palace!
When the Kadoorie family returned home, they were stunned by the huge bill from the construction contractor, while the drunken designer was lying in the hospital waiting for medical attention.
It's also a valuable house! In contrast, the cost of the Hatong family's mansion, the richest man in the beach, is only 700,000 taels.
Situ Nan couldn't help but laugh when he heard it. He quipped little Kadoorie: "Compared to that house, which occupies a lot of your money, and you can't get out, so you have been enjoying it painfully and happily?" ”
"Isn't it? There are less than 10 people in our family, and now the focus of our career is on Hong Kong and Guangzhou, so it's a pity that such a big house is empty there. I've consulted with my family to put the room in place if I can. The house was very new, it was built last year, and when our family came back from the war, I still remember my father's expression at that time, and it was true that my father couldn't wait to clean up the designer, but unfortunately his guy was admitted to the hospital early. Hehe! ”
Little Kadoorie told the story. It was so funny to say that he laughed at the end.
He went on to explain the house: "Kadoorie Gardens is definitely worth the money, it is a beautiful mansion with a 50-foot-wide ballroom, a 225-foot-long promenade, a wrap-up staircase to the north of the hall, and so on. All the marble used in the construction was brought in from Italy. Although the designer was a loser, he still did a good job.
And the house is in the concession, which is also relatively safe and convenient. I don't think even if you ask the boss for 2 million, it's not much.
Little Kadoorie laughed. has been with Situ Nan for a long time, and in inconsequential matters, he slowly dared to be presumptuous in front of Situ Nan.
"Good! You take Madame to the house, and if it's all right, I'll take over!" Situ Nan said with a smile.
I feel that this house was built for myself, but the most luxurious house in the beach is also in line with my identity.
"Okay!" Little Kadoorie secretly breathed a sigh of relief and went out to find Laura.
Because of the backlog of funds in this hellish house, the Kadoorie family has missed a lot of business opportunities, and now that Situ Nan has taken over, the Kadoorie family can finally be freed.
