Although Francis didn't know the specific situation of Occidental Petroleum Company, he still knew that Situ Nan was also one of the Hantec Companies, and every time Francis saw Situ Nan, he would find that the other party's business was getting bigger and bigger, and he wanted to get into this young man a little, maybe it would bring any good luck.

This is called eating meat, you can't eat meat, and you can drink soup.

Everyone loves to do profit-sharing things, do I know that this guy is very profitable, and I still don't want to participate in a share? Even if you can't participate in the shares, it's not bad to take a ride!

Well, the United States likes to open the door of other people's homes, and the good name says: "The door is open"!

In addition to Francis, Situ Nan also got to know a lot of people, or re-acquainted with some people, and how many bankers?

Seriously, Situ Nan felt that it seemed that he should also get a bank to have fun now. If you have a lot of money, it's always a bit awkward to put it in someone else's place. Situ Nan was planning to discuss this with Robles, Henda, and Bock!

Most of the rich people on this ship are rich people from the West, especially in California, and if you put it in a sour tone, they are these nouveau riche.

Didn't Shakespeare say that in England? "It takes three generations for an aristocracy to be cultivated." And if you count from the gold rush in the forties and fifties of the last century, there are almost three or four generations, and it seems that it can be regarded as an aristocracy, and it should be called an aristocracy that exudes the atmosphere of nouveau riche.

This is not the case, most of the United States have become rich by their own hard work or intelligence, and not much by family inheritance.

The gold rush has passed, and with the exception of some oil nouveau riche, many of these people who got rich first in the United States started their lives by business or technological invention, and they are generally relatively well educated or highly accomplished in certain fields.

The British, who were born as pirates, burned, looted, and sold black slave opium, and after making money (none of the great powers were clean), they packaged themselves in a glorious manner, and at the same time showed off their gentlemanly demeanor to the whole world, which was admired and admired. Of course, there is also the Royal Navy behind him, otherwise the gentleman will not be able to do it.

But now the gentleman is having a hard time, and is strangling to death with their cousin in Europe. Well, the white creatures all over the world seem to be cousins of the British, Germans, Russians, Austria-Hungary, Greece, Holland, Spain, etc., all of whom have an inexplicable relationship with the grandmother of Europe who has died not long ago. Do they all have royal families?

The French did not, they did everything to the extreme, but this did not prevent the French and the British from becoming comrades-in-arms lying on the same ditch;

The United States does not have either, but the Americans used to be the queen's domestic slaves, and they have always had a bad relationship with the Germans, and they are more biased towards the old relatives on the other side of the Atlantic.

Situ Nan estimated that Robles's urging so tightly this time might also be related to the fact that the United States was going to enter the war.

During this time, the newspapers in the United States almost portrayed the Germans as evil creatures with sores on the top of their heads and pus on the soles of their feet, even the pot-bellied woman and the little girl in kindergarten. If you curse, saying "you German" is a hundred times stronger than a word that starts with a thousand letters f.

Situ Nan can almost imagine what will happen in the next few months, mobilization, the United States is about to start mobilizing.

Well, the brutal American cattle herders shed their blood, and the nouveau riche American profiteers worked hard behind their backs: beating the Germans, "I'll pay two hundred and five dollars", "I'll pay three hundred and eighty-three eight dollars", "I'll pay 7474974 dollars".

The army encouraged the soldiers: "Do you want to see the whole world?" Want to go to France? Want to go to Paris? Let me kick the German's ass hard for the sake of the woman in Paris! ”

The politicians shouted: "Majestic and high-spirited, cross the Atlantic, in the name of freedom and democracy, bring down the German emperor, down with Austria-Hungary!"

Down with the Russian imperialists, down with the British imperialists-------

That bastard sings around?! Stand out, that unit's? Who is the leader? Who is Daddy?

I sue you stupid guys, the Russian imperialists are going to fall without you fighting, and it is not allowed to fight the British imperialists, that our buddy, we want to defend the Queen, defend London, defend Britain, and defend the whole world.

Come, change the song, sing it again, get ready, "You don't carry a gun, I don't carry a gun, who will defend England, who will defend the Queen, who will defend her!" Come ····· Come ····· Come ·······"

(Late-night code words, a little boring, writing and writing is crooked, personal bad taste, just read it, don't shoot if you don't like it, you can't slap your face.) ）

"Mr. Situ, so you are here! I've been looking for you for a long time! ”

Not long after Situ Nan finished talking with Francis, Song Meiling came over.

"What, the prom is over?" Situ Nan looked at his watch, it was almost time.

"Not yet, but soon, I'd like to take a break." Maybe it was because he saw that Situ Nan didn't have the heart to dance tonight, so Song Meiling came over to take a look after dancing.

"Who is this?" Song Meiling asked, she didn't know Francis.

"Mr. Francis, this is my friend, Miss Soong Mei Ling, from a missionary family in China. Miss Song, this is Mr. Francis, a well-known big man in California, who has done a lot in the shipbuilding and wine business. Situ Nan introduced.

Then the two of them greeted each other, and Francis looked at Situ Nan with a little amusement, but today he achieved his goal, and after a while he got up and left.

After crossing the Panama Canal, the ship entered the Atlantic Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean gave the ship a dismount for passengers from the Pacific.

Unfortunately, the ship encountered a storm, and the danger was not great, but the wet and cold weather made people depressed.

The boat continued to move forward in the storm, and the people on the boat felt a slight shaking, and Song Meiling was a little seasick, so she could only stay in her room to rest.

This showy woman is temporarily unable to attend social events such as balls that she is passionate about.

The sea is like a mischievous child, and after proudly showing off his strength, it is gradually calmed down.

The next day the storm stopped, the sea returned to normal, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and the seasick people regained their vitality.

After passing through the Gulf of Mexico, the ship finally arrived in Houston, the most important port city in the southern United States, in the afternoon.

When entering the port, the port was busy, and those 10,000-ton ships were coming in and out, carrying slow goods, and sailing to the depths of the ocean with the passionate whistle.

Situ Nan found that Houston had changed a lot, and it had become more prosperous than the last time he came.

Standing on the high side of the ship, Situ Nan could almost see the refinery of the Western Petroleum Company near the port, and the tall chimney erected made Situ Nan's heart surge.

Yes, it's a self-built oil giant towering over Houston! This will be the oil center of the United States, or it already is, and now the oil companies in the East are planning to move their focus to Houston.

In addition to Houston, there are also Dallas, San Antonio, these are cities that have developed because of oil, and it can be said that oil has changed this vast land.

The passenger ship plans to dock overnight in Houston, and after replenishing supplies such as fresh water from Aishang Novel, it will continue to depart for New York tomorrow morning.

Some passengers get off the ship in Houston, and some people get on the ship from Houston and go to New York, life is like a boat, some people go down, naturally some people will come up, sometimes you can't predict who will meet in the next moment, what kind of opportunities will be there. Originally, Situ Nan didn't plan to get off the ship in Houston, so he was going to stay on the ship for the night. Too lazy to run, in fact, for him, there was little difference between being on a boat and being on land on a not very long journey.

However, unlike those travelers who have been offshore for a long time and miss the land, they are eager to get off the ship and wander around, Situ Nan decided to get off the ship temporarily.

When he first entered the port, his mind changed, as if he had heard a call, and he couldn't wait to breathe in the air with the smell of gasoline, so the planned "pass through the door and not enter" did not come true.

"Miss Song, it's a pity that I have something to get off the ship in Houston temporarily, and I can't continue to accompany you to continue the journey below!" Situ Nan said.

"Oh! That's a shame. Thank you, Mr. Szeto, for your hospitality all the way. Song Meiling was a little surprised that Situ Nan suddenly got off the boat, but she quickly got used to it.

She looked at Situ Nan, her eyes were full of regret, and she was a little reluctant.

"Have a nice trip! Good bye! Situ Nan left a bodyguard to continue to accompany Song Meiling to New York by boat, and he took Han Gang and a few people off the boat.

Song Meiling silently watched Situ Nan's tall figure gradually disappear, and finally disappeared

I was a little dazed.

Along the way, this elegant and handsome man gave Song Meiling warm and thoughtful care, leaving a good impression in her heart.

The parting, so sudden, was a little caught off guard.

I don't know when we will meet again, and everyone will be old again, right?

When love is a thing of the past!
