While the war in the Indonesian archipelago was in full swing, and the Chinese, Dutch, and natives were fighting bloody, New York was prosperous in the United States.
"Almost every day the city is surprisingly changing, with more cars, taller buildings, wider streets, more shops, more banks and companies, as if a prosperous era is coming."
Situ Nan stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows of the office on the top floor of the headquarters of Robles Securities, looking down on the hustle and bustle of Wall Street below.
Robles sat on the sofa and looked at Situ Nan with a smile as he sipped red wine.
"Congratulations, congratulations on harvesting a country!" Robles laughed.
"It's like that in a certain way, but that's not my country, it's the country of the people who live in that country. And I'm just a businessman.
Just like our consortium has hundreds of thousands of employees, we control some of the country's wealth, but that's only because we adapt to the power of money.
So I don't think it's my country, it's just following the will of most or some people. ”
Situ Nan shook his head and said.
These days, he has been thinking about his relationship with Nanhua. Meihua is a group, and the William Consortium is also a group, each group has its own interests, and not having it now does not mean that there will be no conflict of interest in the future, so there should be a more appropriate rule to restrain them, and things will be done according to the rules in the future!
If it is not a fundamental decision, it is better to exert less influence!
Situ Nan thought to himself.
"I don't understand what you're thinking. However, the issue of construction bonds for Nanhua that you mentioned is also beneficial to Robles, and I am willing to raise funds for Nanhua. Robles laughed.
What he and Situ Nan discussed just now was that Nanhua was going to issue construction bonds on Wall Street, with an initial tranche of 100 million US dollars for a period of five years, to initially invest in Nanhua's energy development and transportation construction.
Robles & Co. is the top securities firm on Wall Street and has strong issuance capabilities, so Situ Nan is ready to hand it over to Robles.
After hearing Robles' answer. Situ Nan smiled slightly, he knew that Robles would agree.
"By the way, I'm going to Nanyang soon, are you interested in going to see it? There are so many opportunities there! Situ Nan invited with a smile.
"I'll think about it." Robles was a little moved. I thought to myself: it's good to have the opportunity to walk around, maybe you will gain something else.
He knew that Situ Nan was going to transfer some of the industries of the United States to Nanyang, and that the Western Petroleum Company had been investing in Nanyang for several years, and that it was developing quite well, and that the next step should be steel, transportation, grain production, and other enterprises, which might bring good development opportunities to Robles Securities.
Doing business with the state is what Morgan & Co. has always done. That's what Robles is doing, otherwise how can it become a world-class investment bank?
Coming out of Robles Securities Company, Situ Nan stopped at the door for a while, looked at Merrill Lynch Securities opposite Robles Securities Company, and suddenly had a thought in his heart - just take Merrill Lynch as well!
The idea is very good, but Situ Nan doesn't have time to estimate Merrill Lynch Securities Company now, and he returns to William Financial Holding Company on William Street next door.
This is the lair of the William Consortium.
"Young Master! This is a telegram from Nanyang. As soon as Situ Nan walked into the office, his secretary He Yongyuan came in.
The telegram was sent by Yao Hongmin. The rating is top secret. Only Situ Nan himself knew the password.
After Situ Nan translated, he smiled slightly. In the telegram, Yao Hongmin mentioned the urgent aspirations of several wealthy merchant families in Nanyang. And reminded Situ Nan that it was time to set the rules for the country.
"It's so funny! I wonder if they prefer the Bank of England or the Fed more? Situ Nan muttered.
He was going to follow the example of the Rothschild family to control the financial lifeline of South China through Guò Bank, and it seemed that the Bank of America and China could be used as the Bank of England in South China.
Well, it should be like this, unless Nanhua is gone, otherwise the Situ family or the William family will be stored in Nanhua with a special identity.
Situ Nan's eyes flashed with coldness, and he already had an idea.
This is actually very easy to understand, just like in a country dominated by political power, the founding fathers hold a high position, and their descendants are also in a high position, and they continue the political power to maintain a monopoly on the state.
And in a commercialized society. Through the inheritance of wealth, a small number of people can continue to maintain a monopoly on the state and society.
If civilians can rise to a high position, it is because they have joined a certain circle and become their spokesperson.
So, in essence, no matter what kind of social form. After all, it is a small number of people who hold a large amount of resources, and the key is that the minority and the majority play games with each other to achieve a reasonable balance.
Situ Nan thought about it for a long, long time, combined with the experience of his previous life and the insights of this life, he had a rough arrangement for Nanhua in his heart.
Cluck!
There was a knock at the door, waking Situ Nan up.
"Come in!" Situ Nan rubbed his face a little tight, and he could tell that the knocker was his new secretary, He Xiangu.
In fact, it's not new, it's been done for half a year, it's decent, but his eyes are getting hotter and hotter, which makes Situ Nan a little moved, but a little reluctant.
"Young Master! It's time to eat! He Xiangu smiled sweetly, wearing an OL suit specially designed by Situ Nan, which was indescribably fresh and eye-catching.
Situ Nan looked at it, and before he knew it, it was already six o'clock, and he was a little hungry.
"There's nothing else to do today, is there?" Situ Nan asked.
Now his itinerary is arranged by He Xiangu.
"Nope! However, Miss Kuzdova has just called and wants to have dinner with you. ”
Speaking of this, He Xiangu looked at Situ Nan with some grievances, and secretly scolded Kuzdova in her heart.
After coming to New York with Situ Nan, she saw the delicate Russian woman, and after knowing that it was Situ Nan's lover in New York, she felt sad for a long time.
Situ Nan paid attention to He Xiangu's expression, his thin lips were a little pursed, as if he was not very happy, he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"What do you think?" He Xiangu looked at Situ Nan with some anger, feeling his heart more and more.
"Is it better to go or not to go?" Situ Nan held his chin and looked at He Xiangu with a smile. Looking at the slightly shy face, a little red, he thought it was funny.
"How do I know?" He Xiangu was as white as Situ Nan. The head bowed slightly.
"It's a little sour, and it makes you have a good appetite when you smell it." Situ Nan smiled, stood up, put on his coat and walked outside. He Xiangu hurriedly followed.
It was a little cold in New York, so Situ Nan took He Xiangu to New York's Chinatown, where there was a newly opened Cantonese restaurant, which tasted very authentic.
Situ Nan once accidentally walked into New York's Chinatown and found that the Cantonese restaurant tasted good, and the owner was also a person who loved cleanliness, which was very much in line with Situ Nan's taste. So when he came to New York, sometimes he would walk into that restaurant.
Seeing Situ Nan coming in, the shopkeeper immediately came up to greet him and found a window position on the second floor for Situ Nan.
He Xiangu had a sweet smile on her face, and a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Situ Nan from time to time.
Situ Nan did not go to Kuzdova's appointment to prove that he was heavier than the Russian vixen in his heart!
"Laughing at what?" Seeing He Xiangu smirking from time to time, Situ Nan stopped his chopsticks and asked.
"Happy!" He Xiangu picked up the bowl of grilled rice, and her heart was extremely sweet.
"What a fool!" Situ Nan smiled and shook his head. I feel that I am a bad person. As time passed, he found more and more that He Xiangu was like the woman who made him unforgettable in his previous life.
Very content. As clear as water, gentle and tough.
This feeling made Situ Nan feel a little sad sometimes, so every time he faced He Xiangu, his feelings became very complicated, and there was an inexplicable feeling.
Situ Nan secretly compared the women around him in his heart, Laura is wise and has everyone's demeanor, noble and generous, she is an ideal wife, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as Wangfu Mashiko, of course, Situ Nan also loves her very much.
Rose is delicate. Independent, has experienced all kinds of tempering, and her personality is a bit similar to the heroine in "Gone with the Wind" that Situ Nan read in his previous life, plus Situ Nan's familiarity with her, she is the best confidant.
Kuzdova's feelings were a little lighter, but they were long. has been with Situ Nan for the longest time, and long-term maintenance will also develop feelings, just like the beautiful canary raised by Situ Nan. Recently, after this canary went to work at the radio station, he seems to have become a little independent.
Cousin-in-law Mary, a little ridiculous, but there seems to be nothing to blame, a delicate, there is a fatal temptation, and at the same time there is a responsibility of a relative. Before Situ Nan made his career, he spent a period of time with Situ Nan that was not a difficult time, but it was rare.
And the last one is Wu Manli in Shanghai, who has a great utilitarian effect on Wu Manli Situ Nan. However, Wu Manli was born in a Shanghai nightclub, and her knowledge, methods, and mind are first-class, and she can help Situ Nan a lot in her career. What makes Situ Nan proud is that this woman gave birth to a son for Situ Nan.
The son is very important, not to mention that this is a son of authentic Chinese descent, maybe he can inherit his career in China or Nanyang?
Thinking of this, Situ Nan felt more and more that his thoughts were feudal and utilitarian, and he was a little funny.
"What are you laughing at? Master? He Xiangu asked.
She saw Situ Nan thinking about something just now, and the expression on her face changed from time to time, and she couldn't help but be curious.
Well, only a person like her, who pays attention to Situ Nan wholeheartedly, will notice the changes in Situ Nan's heart, and others feel that Situ Nan is a little mysterious and unpredictable.
Maybe this is because of Situ Nan's growing authority, but for He Xiangu, Situ Nan is still the young master who makes her feel warm and reliable.
"You want to know?" Situ Nan smiled. Others generally don't dare to inquire about their own thoughts, and even more often they will speculate about Situ Nan's thoughts, which are more or less utilitarian, but only this somewhat stupid He Xiangu would be so innocent, just out of concern.
Situ Nan is always very relaxed in front of her every time, which is one of the reasons why he wants to keep her by his side.
Seeing that He Xiangu nodded, Situ Nan replied: "My idea is actually very simple. Just think of women! ”
"Oh!" He Xiangu's face was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she said in her heart, this flowery young man must have missed other women again. Although he was very good to himself, he always seemed to be a little bit off, which was really frustrating.
Seeing that He Xiangu's face was a little gloomy, Situ Nan regretted that he was too presumptuous, so he smiled and said, "I was thinking just now, Xiangu, Xiangu, what should I do with you?" ”
"What to do?" He Xiangu raised her head, and there was more excitement in her eyes.
"Didn't you do anything? I'm going to Nanyang, do I want to take you there if I have a headache? You know where the conditions are going to be tough! Especially those sunlight is very poisonous, tanning people into black charcoal, I can't bear to let the delicate little fairy girl become a black village woman. You'd better stay in the United States~"
Situ Nan laughed.
"You dare!?" He Xiangu bit her chopsticks and looked at Situ Nan with some anger.
"Why don't you dare?"
"I, I told my brother to shoot you! Hehe! My brother is now the commander of the million-strong army! He Xiangu said proudly, looking very yearning for Nanyang.
"Where are the millions? Don't listen to other people's nonsense! Situ Nan smiled and reached out to pinch He Xiangu's pretty face.
It's very interesting to say, in the restaurant where they eat, in fact, all the Chinatowns in the United States have been discussing the war between Nanhua and the Dutch in the past few months, and the business of some storytellers has also improved a lot, and they can shake their heads and add a lot of materials, saying that the war in Nanyang is like the romance of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
But those who don't have much knowledge love to listen and listen with fascination. A few days ago, Situ Nan brought He Xiangu here for dinner, and after listening to it for a while, she remembered that in the story, He Wenxiu was praised as the commander of a million-strong army, and the bridge of martial arts was secretly memorized, which made Situ Nan sneer.
After the victory of the Battle of Java, Nanhua was even more hyped in Chinatown, and in fact, a large number of Chinese children from the Nanhua Army and the Nanhua government returned from Chinatown in the United States.
During this period, Nanhua was preparing for the establishment of a country, and those Chinese children wrote letters back to Chinatown or China, asking their relatives and friends to move to Nanyang for development -- to divide land, invest, open mines, and work in the government. These days, many people in Chinatowns in the United States have bought a ferry ticket and rushed to Nanyang.
In particular, the relatives of some soldiers who participated in the war were relocated at home and prepared to go to Nanyang to become big landlords.
Situ Nan heard similar words from time to time when he was eating, which made him feel very satisfied. There is no doubt that the rise of South China is a great excitement for the Chinese in the United States, and it has also improved their status.
After Situ Nan went to Nanyang, his first request was to distribute passports to overseas Chinese all over the world and become their asylum. Although the power is limited for a while, at least the attitude is clearly expressed.
Blindly taking, ungrateful, that is struck by thunder from the sky.
"Huh? Mr. Szeto, why are you here? Just as Situ Nan was drinking tea and carefully understanding the crooked arguments of the teapot and teacup, an unexpected voice sounded in his ears.
"Miss Lu, it's you! What a place you don't meet in life! Situ Nan stood up with a smile and invited Lu Bihua to sit down.
"What is the United States looking at? Have you finished reading it? Are you interested in going to Nanyang? Situ Nan invited with a smile.
"Good! That's exactly what it means! Lu Bihua happily agreed, wanting to see what the upcoming Nanyang Chinese State would be like. (To be continued) RQ
