In May 1914, on the streets of Wall Street in New York, Situ Nan pointed to the gate of the New York Stock Exchange in front of him and said to Robles: "This is where we will fight next!" You ready? Buddy! ”
"Yes, I can't wait!" Robles said confidently.
"Hey, where are we going to eat later? You haven't eaten for so long since you got off the boat, aren't you hungry? It was He Wenxiu who made the sound. This rough man unceremoniously interrupted the lust of Situ Nan and Robles, two guys who claim to be investment geniuses!
"What an atmosphere buster!" Robles whispered grumbling. He didn't dare to shout at He Wenxiu.
It's quite funny, when the two met for the first time, He Wenxiu didn't give Robles a good look, and it should be said that He Wenxiu was cold to any white person. Oh, he has a good relationship with Hayes, I wonder if Hayes is a rough man, straight-minded, and easier to deal with? In addition to Hayes, Situ Nan is surrounded by a group of resourceful and cunning foxes, which is incompatible with He Wenxiu.
Of course, Robles doesn't have a good impression of He Wenxiu, why does a Situ Nan's follower treat him coldly? But for the sake of Situ Nan's face, Robles didn't care. However, after getting along, Robles found that He Wenxiu was a little unkind, and he didn't have any bad intentions, but he just couldn't get used to his cold look. Once when Situ Nan was away, the two finally consumed, and Robles actually wanted to compare with He Wenxiu. The result was miserable! Robles, an amateur boxer who fought all over Harvard's invincible opponents, faced He Wenxiu, a Chinese hooligan who knew martial arts. Fortunately, He Wenxiu's shot was very measured, Robles only suffered a flesh injury, and since then, the talented and intelligent Robles has never been willing to fight He Wenxiu again.
Seeing Robles' deflated face, Situ Nan was a little amused, "Coarse people always have a way to make smart people deflated." ”
"Okay, we've got to find a good place to stay, this time we're staying in the presidential suite." Situ Nan said. I remembered that two years ago, I had just experienced the Titanic incident and came to the United States, and in order to save money, I didn't dare to go to an expensive hotel, and now I came back two years later, with confidence and sufficient funds! The opportunities in life are really a bit embarrassing.
In the evening, in the presidential suite on the top floor of the New York Hotel, Situ Nan and Robles were discussing financial speculation. He Wenxiu searched around and found nothing unusual, then sat beside him in a daze, but he was not at all interested in the words of the two more "reactionary" young people in the room.
"Stoney, the situation in Europe has been getting more and more tense recently, and I think it won't be long before there will be a fight. Robles said.
"That's right, that's what I thought. But I want to play something big, what are futures like? 10% leverage, three months expiry, I bet on the outbreak of war. Situ Nan said.
"Damn! You're crazy, it's too risky, and if the three-month war doesn't break out, you'll lose all your money! Robles almost jumped up against it, and Situ Nan's decision was almost capricious. This is too risky, Robles thinks it is unreasonable to pin his hopes on the outbreak of war in the ethereal three months, he really does not know where Situ Nan's confidence comes from, could it be that the success of the oil company has made this guy grow up blind? Also, whoever achieves such great success at a young age will be so young and vigorous! Robles thought to himself.
"Hey, hey! If you dare to bet that a war will break out in the future, why don't you dare to bet on these few short months? Situ Nan said, as if he wanted to use the agitation method on Robles.
"This is different, the outbreak of war is very likely, and now you can make a lot of money by buying arms stocks and studying; But who knows if it will erupt in three months? This is a very small thing, the slightest mistake will be lost, the two are completely different! Robles explained.
"Excellent! Adventurous but not blind, Robles, I'm getting happier with you! Situ Nan said, "But you still have to listen to me!" ”
"Why?" Robles asked puzzled, a little mad at Situ Nan's words.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason yet, but listen to me! Think about the career I've gone from nothing to having in Texas in the last few years, just listen to me! Situ Nan said, looking at Robles with a sincere face.
Seeing that Robles was still a little puzzled, Situ Nan continued: "Man, don't look at me like this, I know what I'm doing, I'm sober. ”
"Alright! Hope you're right! Robles said helplessly, but his face was still worried.
"Don't be like that, have faith in me. Haven't you spent some time on Wall Street before? It's good to keep such a large amount of money a lot of money a secret, I hope you go to a team to complete it, in short, don't alarm too many people. Situ Nan said.
Damn, one sentence above, broken leg below! This guy clearly wants to do everything for himself, and it's really lucky and unfortunate to have such a boss! Robles sighed in his heart, what about financial leverage, it would be good if he didn't lose it all then!
Situ Nan didn't know what Robles was thinking, and thought he had figured it out? If you know that Robles is so unconfident and slanders yourself, I can't wait to let Lao He compare himself with Robles.
Assign the task and hand over the funds to Robles, and Situ Nan has nothing to do. Such a boss is so comfortable! Situ Nan, who has been idle for the past two days, took He Wenxiu for a walk around New York. I also went to Broadway to see the opera in the evening.
Where was Situ Nan met an acquaintance, and at first Situ Nan saw an actor on stage who seemed to be Rose, so he secretly ran backstage to take a look, and it turned out to be really Rose.
"Hello, Rose," Situ Nan said.
Rose looked back and saw a tall, emaciated handsome guy standing behind her, especially with black eyes and hair, looking at her with a smile on his face.
"Stoney? Stoney William! Rose almost couldn't believe her eyes, two years ago, a sailor on the Titanic, actually met with her, it was incredible, originally in this life she thought that she would never think about things related to the Titanic again. However, looking at Situ Nan's dress, it seems that he is doing well now. Rose thought to herself.
"Are you free? I invite you to coffee. Situ Nan said.
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll take off my makeup first." Rose said.
After removing the makeup in the plot, Rose put on light makeup again, which is glamorous.
"I haven't seen each other for two years, and Rose seems to be more attractive." Situ Nan exclaimed.
"Hehe, thank you." Rose has always been confident in her appearance.
"Who is this?" Rose saw a Chinese man following Situ Nan, so she asked.
"He's my partner, his name is Ho. But you can just be if he doesn't save zài. Situ Nan said.
"Oh." Rose casually responded. Well, she was born into a British aristocracy and was still reluctant to say hello to a Chinese. He Wenxiu has the same idea as her, but Lao He is a little strange that it is the first time in the past two years that he has seen Situ Nan talking and laughing with a woman, could it be ・・・・・? He Wenxiu thought with some gossip in his heart.
Situ Nan took Rose back to the suite in the hotel, looking at the luxurious room, Rose hadn't lived in it for a long time, she sighed: "Stoney, I didn't expect you to get rich in the past two years, can you talk about it?" ”
"Actually, it's nothing, after I arrived in the United States, I stopped being a crew member and ran to the west, where I was lucky enough to find oil." Situ Nan said lightly, without the slightest intention of showing off. Besides, Rose has enjoyed a luxurious life, and there is nothing to show off in front of her.
"Tell me about you, how have you been in the past two years?" Situ Nan said.
"Me? There's nothing to say, after going ashore, I've been an actor. You just saw that, too. Rose said blandly, "I'm going to scrape together enough money to go to a lot of places." ”
Situ Nan knew that she had promised Jack to live her own life, but both of them tacitly agreed not to mention Jack, and talked about some interesting things from time to time.
"You know what? Molly misses you so much, what about the last time I mentioned you to her?" Situ Nan said.
"Oh, is it? I haven't seen Mrs. Brown in a long time, she's fine! Rose said.
"Very good, I have a business relationship with his husband. She used to live in Los Angeles, but recently moved to Houston with her husband. I'll give you the address and phone number later, and you can contact her if you have the chance. Mr. Stuart wrote down the phone number and address of the Brown family in Houston.
"Are you single now?" Situ Nan thought about it and asked.
"Well, it's a good life alone!" Rose said, and then there was a moment of silence.
Time makes people change, and when they meet again, Situ Nan feels that Rose is very different, how to say it・・・・・・ of course she is still as beautiful as before, but there are a few more things, a bit like the restrained of lead washing, plain and confident. When she was on the Titanic, Rose was still a girl with aristocratic arrogance and strong vanity, although it was not that she had a bad heart, but she couldn't get rid of the breath of that circle, just like a canary, it looked a little hypocritical and gorgeous! Maybe this is also the reason why Rose felt depressed and even committed suicide, but fortunately she met someone who changed her life------ Jack! Although Rose is no longer the princess who is on the top, she is a very free and happy woman.
"You've changed a lot, and you're living a much more authentic life than you used to be!" Situ Nan took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm much happier than I used to be! Jack has taught me a lot. Rose didn't mind mentioning Jack in front of Situ Nan at all, in addition to Jack, Situ Nan was also a rare friend she had on the Titanic.
"But I didn't expect that sailor to become a Monopoly man!" Rose teased. In fact, it's not just Rose who has changed, in her eyes, Situ Nan has also changed a lot, a humble sailor on the Titanic, well, although he is a somewhat special sailor, plays the piano well, sometimes with a hint of sadness, Sven, but no one would have thought that he would become a successful businessman in just a few years. Although Rose doesn't know exactly how rich Situ Nan is, looking at the luxury of the hotel room, Cheng Dù is not bad, when she lived in the first class cabin on the Titanic, this is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Things are people, not everything, the two chatted for a while, and it can be regarded as a common hardship, so there is a little sympathetic silence, there are some things that need not be said, in fact, they all know. Situ Nan knew Rose too well in his past and present lives, Rose was a specific sign in his heart, and after Rose experienced love with Jack, because of her deep love, she would not have such affection for other men, so the two were destined not to become lovers, just confidants. Each other's directions are different, and confidants may also be confidants on different sides of the sky, Situ Nan doesn't know when the next goodbye will be.
"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Situ Nan hopes to give Rose some help within his ability.
"No, thank you! Now I'm doing well and being fulfilled! Rose shook her head. Life is not about having money, and many things are experienced on your own. Now Rose has learned to fend for herself.
The Titanic has been sinking for two years, some people are gone, some things have changed, and some promises are being fulfilled. Last month, Mr. Stuart received a surprise telegram from Wallace saying that he had found Mu's wife and son and had brought them to the United States this month. This is a good thing for Situ Nan, he is finally able to see his cousin and nephew soon. This is the only relative he has in this world at the moment.
"Can you play that 'myheartwillgoon' again?" Rose asked suddenly.
"Good! But there are no pianos here, so let's go to the concert hall below! "Good thing the hotel is well equipped and has a small concert hall.
Maybe it's because time has passed, or maybe it's because he knows that missing is futile, this time he played "myheartwillgoon", Situ Nan was a little less sad and a little more lingering.
At the end of the song, Rose burst into tears, "Very good music, I will never forget Jì in my life." Thank you, Stoney! ”
"Give!" Situ Nan handed over his handkerchief and comforted Rose: "I think he also hopes that you will have a happy life!" ”
It was a bit boring to stay in New York, and later Situ Nan asked Rose to come out a few times, but the two were very polite. Although Rose is very beautiful, I don't know why, as soon as I saw her, Situ Nan remembered Jack, so the little thought I finally mentioned to Rose was immediately gone. During this period, he was bumped into by Robles, and from the first sight, Robles was conquered by Rose's beauty.
"Oh my God! How can there be such a beautiful woman in the world! Boss, it's so unfair to think about how hard I work while you're comfortably playing here!" Robles complained.
"How's the preparation for work?" Situ Nan asked with concern.
"We have dispersed the funds through a large number of accounts, some of which have already been opened, and all the funds will be invested in it next week." Speaking of work, Robles said seriously.
"Excellent! Let's just wait to count the money! 30 million US dollars, 10% leverage is 100 million US dollars, and then we will bet on how they die! Situ Nan said coldly, as if he was about to taste bloody prey.
"By the way, the woman just now is called Rose, she is an actress, but she is not my woman, and I will not soak him." Situ Nan seemed to remember something and said deliberately.
"Oh, is it? That's great! Robles suddenly jumped up and said, but after seeing Situ Nan's smiling eyes, he suddenly blushed, as if he had done something wrong.
"Man, this woman can't get her heart even if you get him, her heart belongs to a jack's man!" Situ Nan is not very optimistic about Robles's love for Rose's upcoming love novel.
What is love? Asking himself, Situ Nan couldn't find an answer. Now Situ Nan is already dead, "I can't go back!" ・・・・・" Situ Nan sighed, the former Weier could only be a symbol in his memory, and occasionally he would think of the Titanic, a qiē on the ship, and the Laura who had met him in Pingshui.
