In fact, Davis is also fooling, the aircraft company in Los Angeles has not yet been skimmed, it is just an idea in Situ Nan's mind, and he mentioned it to Davis again, and now Davis is just using it to fool Leland and his son.

However, Davis is not completely fooled, the related work has already begun, and the aircraft company is just lacking a person in charge.

Situ Nan will not take care of the newly built aircraft company in the future, he is too busy with things, but in the early stage, he just planned and did not exceed the scope of his expectations, so he did not interrupt Davis's words, but nodded and smiled.

"Cummins Power, is that the same company that acquired several auto parts factories in Detroit some time ago?" Wilfer Leland asked.

Not only him, but also other auto giants in Detroit have heard of it. They knew there was going to be a new competitor.

"Yes. And I was involved in a lot of the negotiations. Although Cummins Power is a young company, its strength is obvious to all, and there are not many companies in Detroit that can spend $2 million in a week, right? And that's just the beginning. Davis said proudly.

"Hmm." Leland and his son nodded. Some time ago, he was busy arguing with Durant, although he had also heard of this Cummins Power company from the west, but he had not paid much attention to it.

Their father and son are no strangers to Davis Anderson, it turns out that they both belong to General Motors, although they are not very familiar with each other, but they have also heard of it. Well, both father and son knew about Davis' feat at GM, and even half of the industry in Detroit knew it.

If it weren't for the fact that General Motors was afraid that the matter would be big and damaging the company's image and suppressed this matter internally, Davis might have to go to court. After all, not everyone has the gorgeous treatment of being dragged from the company all the way to the workshop in front of everyone, and it is also to blame that fat pig for being harsh and harsh, and the personnel are too bad, so no one stopped Davis's madness.

Leland and his son just didn't expect that after they left General Motors, Davis recently left General Motors, and he was also "the same person who has fallen from the end of the world", and he has a little bit of fate, so he is also very enthusiastic about Davis, an active "leading party".

There were four people in the room, basically Davis and Leland's son Wilfer were talking, and Situ Nan and old Leland were silent.

Compared with the sharp-edged Davis, old Leland still pays more attention to Situ Nan, who sits in front of him with elegant demeanor and calm spirit. He felt that this young man was not simple.

Although he was silent, he should have been like himself, and the conversation between Davis and Wilfer next to him fell to heart without missing a bit.

This was old Leland's intuition.

He believed that he was right, because Situ Nan's deep eyes made old Leland feel as if he was facing an unfathomable sea.

Old Lelan is over 70 years old, and he has read countless people in his life, and it is the first time he has seen such a temperament in Situ Nan.

So to speak, it is a confident force, giving people the feeling that he will succeed.

Just when Old Leland was observing Situ Nan, Situ Nan was also secretly paying attention to this old man with white hair and a pair of gold-wire glasses.

Situ Nan smiled mildly and said sincerely: "Mr. Leland has created a high-quality, precise and luxurious car brand like Cadillac, and such an achievement is enviable.

What I admire most is Mr. Leland's pioneering and never-defeating spirit, and it is hard to imagine that an old man over 70 years old has an enterprising spirit that does not belong to young people.

After he resolutely left General Motors, he was ready to make a career in the field of aircraft engines. It reminds me of the westward expansion movement decades ago, when tens of thousands of ragged Americans dreamed of going westward, conquering forests, grasslands, deserts, lakes, and difficulties, and finally reaching the vast West, where they lived in abundance with their labor.

The hard work and pioneering spirit that have made this great country a success, and have inspired generations of Americans, and I am inspired by that spirit today with Mr. Leland.

I believe that if we can work together, Mr. Leland, and all of us, will achieve great things. Is that right? Mr. Leland. ”

Situ Nan said confidently. He sincerely looked at the old man in front of him with white temples and still bright eyes......

His confident passion touched the Leland father and son. In Situ Nan, they seem to have returned to the glorious days when Cadillac was created.

Situ Nan said so much, in fact, it was not entirely to please Henry Leland, but just to feel it.

Different people stand on different standpoints and come to different conclusions about the righteousness or evil of the American westward expansion movement, but in Situ Nan's view, it is the epic and passionate adventure and pioneering movement of the past few decades that has forged the character of Americans who pursue wealth and are keen on adventure.

Take the Leland father and son, one in their 70s and the other in their 40s and fifties, who still have ambitions to start another career after they have achieved fame.

This is rare in other countries and nations, and ordinary people have reached this age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and they are getting closer and closer to God, who is still so busy and toiling? Even if you have a heart, you can't do it.

"Huh. Thank you, Mr. William, for the kind words. Lelan was annoyed by Situ Nan's words to the G spot, he was more satisfied with Situ Nan, and it was rare for his thoughts to be understood. Even Davis and Wilfer were touched when they heard it.

This is a young man who does great things, old Leland thought to himself, he has a feeling of hating to see each other late.

The next step was much simpler, and the two sides soon reached a cooperation agreement: Cummins Power paid $3 million to acquire a 51 percent stake in Lin Reading Company, and the new company was renamed Cummins-Lin Reading Aircraft Company, with Henry Leland as its president. In fact, however, most of the work was left to his son, Wilfer Leland.

In principle, if the company's management does not deviate from the direction set by Situ Nan, Situ Nan promises that the parent company Cummins Power will not dictate the operation of Leland and his sons, but the finance will be held by the parent company, and the new company will be closely integrated with the Cummins Power Research Institute under the parent company Cummins Power in terms of technology.

At Situan's urging, the new Cummins-Lin Reading Aircraft Company will move to Long Beach, south of Los Angeles, where Situ Nan's planned aircraft production facility in California is located.

Long Beach is close to the port, has well-developed transportation, and is backed by the increasingly developed Southern California Machinery Manufacturing Center, and the surrounding supporting industries, large and small, are closely integrated with a series of industries such as the California Iron and Steel Company in Situ South.

And the electronics industry will also rise there in the future, but it will take time to realize.

No one can climb to the top in one step.

Situ Nan is no exception, although he can mark down several important oil-producing areas in the United States at once, he can't open all the oil underground at once, nor can he refine the crude oil at once, let alone scatter beans into soldiers, and open gas stations all over the world.

Even so, Situ Nan, who used the golden finger at the beginning, has developed super fast now, and his industry has expanded several times in just a few years.

Now the situation in the United States is like this, large and small conglomerates are now busy making money from Europeans. They are all comfortable operators on their own one-third of an acre of land, and they rarely have the energy to go to other people's land to catch food. Most of them will open their fangs and devour their tender prey when the economy is in a downturn, because the cost is relatively low.

And everyone is still waiting for the next wave of bigger feasts after the United States enters the war! So for the time being, there are no families from the east who go to California to stir up trouble. Situ Nan could have a good time.

Indeed, before the addition of a strong consortium from outside, Southern California, which is surrounded by Los Angeles, was dominated by the Stuart South consortium. Put these industries in his own nest, Situ Nan still feels more handy. Local politicians, local corporations big and small, will revolve around Stuart's California consortium, just as Wall Street revolves around the back of Morgan's ass.

Besides, California was originally the aircraft manufacturing center, petrochemical center and high-tech center of the United States in history, and the arrival of Situ Nan only made this qiē original appearance a little earlier.

As for whether it will make US imperialism more powerful, this question is not worth considering. With or without Situ Nan, in fact, the result is the same.

"California is now developing rapidly, after the construction of the steel base, machinery manufacturing, aircraft, shipbuilding, railways, highways, and petrochemical industry are all blooming, and it will catch up with the east in more than ten or twenty years."

Situ Nan said confidently.

He has just given a detailed account of the state of development in California, and in fact, there are many of his initiators who are not too clear.

As time went on, he found that in that part of California, the impression of history was gradually disconnected from the world in which he lived.

After listening to Situ Nan's introduction to the development of California, old Leland was very excited, he didn't expect that California was developing so rapidly, if he really wanted to think about what Situ Nan said, wouldn't it be his ideal aircraft base?

Old Leland didn't expect that before he went to see God, he would be able to carry out the "westward movement" of the Leland family.

(It's been a long time, it's been a long time.) Once again, I call on everyone to vote for the Titanic, so as not to lose the chrysanthemum! )
