In June 1915, after inspecting the oil company from Texas, Stuart returned to Los Angeles. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

However, after a year, Los Angeles has changed a little more and is much more lively. It's like a big construction site. Cities are expanding, streets are widening, highways are being built, factories are being built around Los Angeles, and smoke is billowing from the chimneys.

This is the power of industry, and human civilization is beginning to bloom brilliantly here.

The oil boom in California and other western states also happened to be the G-spot of eastern merchants, who heard in the newspapers and rumors about the myth of getting rich overnight because of oil, so the adventurous spirit of the Americans read about it.

The California oil myth, which was detonated by Situ Nan, is spreading to the center, south, east, and even to Europe.

The Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune reported on the discovery of large oil fields in California, and major media outlets reprinted them one after another.

The New York Times also wrote, in an encouraging tone: "The discovery of oil fields in California reminds me of the gold rush that my grandfather was involved in, where he dug out his first pot of gold."

More than 50 years have passed, but with the discovery of oil, there is reason to believe that this is a new gold rush, but this time it is black gold oil.

According to the prediction of a certain expert, the entire underground of California and even the West sits on one oil field after another, and its reserves may be 100 times that of New Jersey oil!

Americans, hungry for wealth, what are you waiting for? Buy a ferry ticket to the west, where your dreams await! ”

Now all Americans know that a big oil field has been discovered in California.

It is said that there is oil everywhere in the ground!

Rumors inevitably spread false rumors, and the version was also upgraded step by step in the process of dissemination, and people's nerves were also stirred up in the discussion.

Everyone knows that many people in the West who still have the gold rush of the last century in their minds have sprung up in the West, especially in California, where a large number of immigrants are pouring in every day.

However, in this adventure of wealth, it is only a lucky few who have really succeeded, and most of them have failed to realize their ambitions to get rich.

The biggest gainers were land speculators and merchants who provided adventurers with all kinds of supplies.

This is the same as the result of the last gold rush, the famous clothing giant Levi's jeans rose from the gold rush, and then became a world famous brand step by step.

The state government of California was very welcoming to foreign adventurers, among whom were bankers, workers, engineers, teachers, farmers, who brought money, technology, and talent from the East and even from Europe, which was exactly what the western states craved.

California's explosive population growth has provided an abundant labor force for industrial development, government tax revenues have increased dramatically, and various municipal construction projects are in full swing.

The same was true of what would become Texas.

Undoubtedly, due to the emergence of Situ Nan, the oil fever in the west was advanced by twenty or thirty years, which caused the economic development of the western region of the United States, represented by California and later Texas.

California is a vast and sparsely populated state, with a thriving industry and a bright future.

Coupled with the fight in Europe not long after, California's manufacturing industry received a large number of orders from Britain and France.

As a result, some people who had not been able to get rich in the "oil fever" remained, and just happened to be digested by the increasingly developed industry.

This has never been done before in history.

Situ Nan also did not expect that due to the early opening of oil fields, California's industrial development would be raised to a higher level.

Although he can't see it now, in the place where people can see with the naked eye, there are two butterflies flapping their wings desperately, and the trajectory of history has quietly changed a little.

California is ahead of its time, but no matter what, it's still the place where Stuart loves California, and it's his "home."

California is a great place to be in terms of its pleasant climate and abundant produce, and the warm sunshine is pleasant.

When he doesn't go out to work during the day, Situ Nan plays basketball in addition to hunting. He built a basketball court in his yard and played basketball with He Wenxiu and a group of security guards when he had time.

At this time, basketball was still a new thing, and there were many rules that were not perfected, but this was not difficult for Situ Nan, he not only supplemented the rules of basketball, but also sold a few sets of rough tactics! Situ Nan is a guest player, coach, and referee!

Influenced by his bad taste, a group of basketball enthusiasts appeared in the mansion of Situ Nan in Los Angeles, and gradually became popular in Situ Nan's company, and even in California!

More than a dozen security guards recruited by He Wenxiu are all young people, they are active, and they fell in love with the sport of basketball after a while, and after a period of time, the skills of several young people have improved rapidly, and Situ Nan can no longer fiddle in front of them!

One of them, a black man named Bryant, played well, but he was too proud and didn't have a good relationship with his peers, and Situ Nan didn't like him very much!

Situ Nan's favorite is a handsome white guy named Nash, because Nash is the most like Situ Nan, his body is not outstanding, but his mind is flexible, and his movements are relatively beautiful! Well, this one is the key!

The most annoying thing is He Wenxiu, this guy looks cool, he is not very keen on attacking, but he always takes pleasure in destroying other people's attacks.

Every time he covers someone else's hot pot, this guy with a straight face always grins and smiles a little proudly.

But because he is the head of the security guard, and his skills are very good, those poor guys don't dare to be angry with him!

After a long time of calm, I will inadvertently read a lot of books.

One day, Situ Nan didn't go out, just finished playing basketball, and when he was sitting on the sidelines resting, Mary came over.

The weather was hot, and the thin dress couldn't hide Mary's mature and plump figure, under the illumination of Yangguan, Situ Nan almost saw through the ** under Mary's clothes, and his body couldn't help but react.

"Have a glass of juice, don't get too tired!" Mary handed a glass of juice to Situ Nan, she was very proud of her figure, and Situ Nan's reaction naturally couldn't escape this mature wife!

Situ Nan found that he had no immunity to this demon woman, and he didn't want his confinement to be revealed in front of a group of rude security guards, so he and Mary left the court, men are like this!

A group of strong-blooded security guards on the court looked at Mary's graceful figure with envy in their eyes, but they all knew that this was the woman of the boss Situ Nan, not something they could reach, and Situ Nan was also good to them, there was no other place in Los Angeles for such a good treatment!

"What for?" He Wenxiu shouted, "I see that your energy is still very good, now we don't play basketball anymore, and we will carry out 10 kilometers of armed cross-country!" ”

He Wenxiu's stern eyes swept across the faces of every security guard like knives, making everyone's hearts froze, not knowing what method this cold-faced god would come up with to deal with them.

In fact, the treatment of these people is so good, and it is inseparable from their efforts. At the beginning, Situ Nan was very dissatisfied with this group of security guards, loose and not rigorous at all, not comparable to the bodyguards of Hawkley that Situ Nan saw on the Titanic!

It's a coincidence that I usually do dog legs, but if something happens, I can't rely on these guys! By chance, Situ Nan thought that the bodyguards of those political dignitaries and tycoons in his previous life were all from the special forces and had extraordinary skills, so he told He Wenxiu about some special forces training methods on a whim!

As a result, He Wenxiu went to train this class of security guards according to Situ Nan's words, and at the beginning, these guys complained bitterly and complained.

"Hey, we're just doing the division of labor, not the soldiers, and this is the United States and not the damn European war!" A few couldn't stand it and left.

Situ Nan sometimes followed them to train when he had nothing to do, and in order to encourage them, Situ Nan also set up a generous bonus reward table for good security.

Seeing that Situ Nan, the young boss, was training like himself, there were bonuses for completing the training, and the food and accommodation were very good, and after surviving the hard days at the beginning, most of them stayed.

Situ Nan is also for his own safety, you must know that guns are rampant in the United States, and killing a person requires a gun and a few pennies of bullets.

With the expansion of one's own career, conflicts of interest with others are inevitable, and it is not possible to protect them without a certain amount of force!

A few decades ago, in the vast West, it wasn't the White House, nor the law, that decided the rules of survival here, but a rifle in your hand.

It was not uncommon for cowboys to draw their guns against each other when they disagreed, and the stories of some of their illustrious cowboys are still circulating in the West.

It was not until the end of the 19th century, under the appeal of the people, that the government stepped up its efforts to crack down on lawless cowboys, re-established order, and the authority of law was slowly established.

This is an era of turbulence and order, and the desire to harm others may not be there, but the desire to guard against others is indispensable, and appropriate force should be maintained no matter what.

You see, the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie and the oil magnate John Rockefeller have sent troops to suppress the workers who rebelled against them!

Rockefeller monopolized American oil, is it by economic means alone? Without intelligence behind the scenes, the means of force are impossible!

The most feared thing is the DuPont family, which is really worthy of being born as a dynamite and showing no mercy to competitors. He even blew up the factories of his own competitors, and as a result, many people died. Ruthless enough!

No one will succeed casually, and behind the illustrious is dark and iron-blooded!

Although Situ Nan is still a little far away from these giants for the time being, as long as he gives himself time in this visible distance, Situ Nan is confident that he will become one of them!

How can you do it without force to protect yourself? Situ Nan doesn't want to be killed by a penny bullet, and then his hundreds of millions of family assets and gorgeous mistresses don't know how to go to sleep?

Affected by Situ Nan's mixed-race identity, and the reason why He Wenxiu is Chinese, there are not only whites and blacks but also a few Chinese among these security guards.

Under the influence of the Chinese Exclusion Act in the United States, Chinese Americans are always discriminated against and have a very low status. In principle, most illiterate Chinese workers would be deported by the U.S. government, but there are still many Chinese workers who remain, and of course they are black households.

If you don't have any skills, it is estimated that the treatment in the United States is not very good, and some people end up having to become a member of the gang.

With the help of Situ Nan, these Chinese security guards have all obtained the right of abode in the United States! Legally, at least, they are no longer the object of casual calling.

Therefore, these people are very grateful to Situ Nan, well, it seems that the effect of buying people's hearts is not bad, and there is a tendency to become a dead man.

Although Situ Nan is also a rising business star in California, under his deliberate management, Situ Nan has a good relationship with local political dignitaries, and many legislators have secretly participated in some of Situ Nan's properties!

Well, naturally, it's a dry stock! There is no need to say this too plainly, ** is bound to exist, strength is the reason to win the respect of others!

With the help of the Brown family and the Ford Laws family, as well as the protection of the political circles, Situ Nan's career development has been smooth, and he has already controlled some of California's major industries, including oil, steel, meat processing, and some mineral resources!

In order to protect their own industry, it is reasonable to set up their own security team!

So in 1915, Situ Nan established a security company in Los Angeles, Blackwater Security Consultants!

Very awesome name!

The number of people at the beginning was about 50, and the training base was set up on a farm on the outskirts of Situ South! It is relatively remote, there are mountains, forests and rivers, and the ground is open, so it is more than enough to be a military base!

For his own safety and to protect his own industry, Situ Nan is very willing to spend money, not only to build a training base, but also to provide advanced weapons, bullets and other needless to say, good gunners are fed with bullets!

After the establishment of the security company, the first batch of instructors was the original security team member of Situ Nan's house, He Wenxiu was sent by Situ Nan to the security company as a training instructor, although he was a little unhappy, but he was happy to toss others.

Now the person in charge of the security of Situ Nan's house is a Chinese named Han Gang, who is said to be Chinese, but he is actually a half-foreign like Situ Nan, but Situ Nan is of mixed Chinese and British descent, and he came to the United States from the United Kingdom, and his appearance is more Westerner.

And Han Gang was born to a Chinese railroad worker and a Spanish-Mexican woman in the United States, in addition to being tall and big, Han Gang is similar to a Chinese, only a closer look found that his eyes are a little millet in addition to black.

Wang Ba looks at mung beans, and he has more blue eyes! Maybe everyone is half-foreign! Situ Nan valued this young man of Han Gang very much, and after He Wenxiu left, he handed over the safety of the house to Han Gang!

Of course, in addition to Situ Nan's blue eyes, Han Gang, who has been discriminated against since he was a child, cherishes this opportunity very much, not only has excellent training, good skills, fists to serve the public, and the most important thing is that he is thoughtful and rigorous, which makes Situ Nan very satisfied.

Situ Nan is the soul of a hundred years later, the world in the previous life was not popular with racial discrimination, and in this life Situ Nan himself is a "mongrel", let alone discriminating against others, so there are both whites and blacks under him, yellow people, (well, it's Chinese, other Situ Nan don't want!) Profit can suppress discrimination between people, and compared with generous treatment, a little unhappiness is ignored by white employees!

What's more, they are a team, and the first thing to do is unity, and if anyone can't accept it, he can only leave.

In this era of the law of the jungle, Situ Nan can't change the general discrimination in this world, but in his own one-third of an acre, it is enough to change dozens of people!

The security guards responsible for guarding Situ Nan's house are all elites selected from the security company, a total of 12 people, in addition to the three bodyguards who follow Situ Nan, the remaining nine people work in three shifts, taking turns to guard the home, and they can also transfer people from the security company to support if there is something.

As for the rest of the security company, they were assigned to various properties in Stuart South, and some were assigned to work in the Texas oil fields. This is what Handar Brown had when he learned that Situ Nan had set up a security company in California.

You must know that Texas is prevalent in cowboys, and the people are fierce and conservative, and they especially don't like outsiders. Well, sometimes these people are lawless, and it won't work without teaching them some lessons.

When Situ Nan took He Wenxiu and Hayes to Texas to buy land on a large scale, he was obstructed by some people with bad intentions!

If it weren't for He Wenxiu's skills and Hayes's toughness, Situ Nan himself would not have been able to deal with the unruly Texas cowboys so easily.

In order to get those oil fields, Situ Nan went to Texas and found that his heart was a lot darker, of course he didn't get bloody, because he didn't have to do it, naturally someone cleaned up some garbage that didn't blink.

Therefore, as soon as Brown proposed, Situ Nan immediately agreed! At least with strong defense, oil wells, oil pipelines, and oil refineries will be safe, and those thieves and devils will not dare to go to Occidental Petroleum to be presumptuous.

After all, Occidental Petroleum is a latecomer in Texas, and after two or three years of development, it has surpassed the local oil companies.

It is impossible to say that they do not hold a grudge and are not jealous of the Western oil companies, and it would not be good if someone secretly made a small move and they were unprepared.

Open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to defend, Situ Nan still understands this truth. Therefore, Situ Nan not only sent an "elite" security force, but also raised a group of lawyers to solve the company's legal disputes!

This was handed over to Robles by Situ Nan, Robles relied on his relationship with the Harvard Aishang Novel Network to win over several alumni, they are all elites in the American legal community, you must know that many of the top officials in the United States are also from the Harvard academic community!

The lawyer team has helped Situ Nan a lot! Tax evasion, dealing with rogue politicians, threatening small business owners, instigating others, helping some Chinese to obtain residency and so on.

If you take the money, you will do things, which is more reliable, unlike a politician who clearly deceives you with rhetoric and turns you around, and you have to be grateful to him in the end.

In the United States, almost all professions are inseparable from lawyers, and the concept of the legal system has been deeply ingrained in the blood of Americans, and the dead have to deal with lawyers, such as dividing inheritances or something.

In his previous life, Situ Nan also heard that the later famous President Roosevelt had also served as the legal counsel of the Chinese community! I don't know if it's true, but I have a chance to see it.
