160 Memories - Lin Yimin

Busy life times always go by very quickly.

The careful arrangements made by Situ Nan before the war gradually worked, due to the rapid transformation, the companies under the William Consortium adapted to the wartime economic system faster than other companies, and with a basket of transactions, the Bethlehem Company, the Stoney Food Company, the Chrysler Company and other major enterprises from the wartime industrial bureau "Tsar" Bernard ? Where did Baruch get a large number of orders.

It's useless for others to be red, who tells these companies to provide a large number of high-quality materials in a timely manner? This is almost a race for industrial production, and American factories and companies, which have been stimulated by orders for arms and supplies, have accelerated the pace of transformation and joined this unprecedented race with a more fanatical attitude.

The new plant is under construction, the factory is expanding, the employees are being trained, the production has begun to achieve three shifts, and a large number of workers are busy on each production line.

As a result of the recruitment of a large number of young men, there was a labor shortage in industrial production, and some women began to enter the factories and take the place of men.

The ammunition workshop of the gunpowder factory of the Bethlehem Weapons and Equipment Company recruited many female workers. It is very dangerous to be engaged in the assembly of explosives, and all the processes must be strictly carried out, and there is no room for sloppiness. At this point, they are more attentive and patient than men, and after training, they gradually become competent for the job, and receive a salary of $5 a day, as well as other allowances. That's the equivalent of a day's wages for a Ford Motor Company worker, and in fact not every worker gets it.

The women's entry into the gunpowder factory is just one of the special examples, which shows that in addition to garment factories, garment factories and other factories that traditionally employ women, more and more companies are starting to hire women, which greatly contributes to the women's liberation movement in the United States.

William's factories weren't the first to adopt this strategy, but they were certainly the broadest, and from the factory to the office, more and more women were getting paid outside the house.

Situ Nan became a veritable "friend of women", in fact, he didn't like the name, but he didn't reject the trend, and at the same time gave it to Eleanor? Roosevelt's report on women's political work. (I wonder if she's found out about our lovely Mr. Roosevelt being out breading *mistress?) ）

After finishing the investment, the preparations for the construction of the school were almost ready, and they were waiting for Situ Nan to break ground after he returned. Situ Nan was idle all of a sudden, thinking that staying in New York was no big deal anyway, Situ Nan realized that it was time for him to return to the west.

Bidding farewell to New York, Stuart Nan took Laura on the William's journey westward. Before that, he had to pay an expensive berthing fee. Well, there is some heartache, and if you stop for another ten days and half a month, it is estimated that the money to build a teaching building will be gone again.

However, after leaving port, seeing the heroic posture of the William riding the wind and waves at sea, this heartache quickly disappeared.

Before handing over the William, Gedas had been converted at the Bethlehem shipyard to be fuel-powered, which not only made it more powerful, but also increased the range and eliminated the need for frequent coal refueling at the port.

Situ Nan especially didn't like the tall chimney on the original ship, and every time he saw it, he felt uncomfortable. When the Titanic sank, he never forgot the scene when those tall chimneys smashed down and smashed the passengers who fell into the water into the dark water.

The blue and white livery of the William is a pleasant contrast to the sea and sky.

The land gradually disappeared where the water and the sky met, and the tall figure of the Lady of Liberty was no longer visible, and the powerful thrusters were like beasts, driving the huge blades to turn, churning the sea to pieces, and the William was like a sharp sword across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving a white flower of water.

It was a rare calm day, a vigorous figure jumped high from the deck of the William, his left hand lightly, his right hand flicked hard, and with a "bang", the orange basketball crossed a perfect arc in the air and steadily plunged into the basket. The basketball rolled on the deck after falling to the ground, and was finally stopped by a net fenced around the boat.

Situ Nan smiled slightly, and the secretary Lin Yimin walked over, "Young master, Mr. Chrysler from Detroit has sent a telegram inviting you to visit the company's new chariot. ”

"Wait a minute," Situ Nan said. Knowing that it wasn't an urgent matter, he casually picked up another basketball and continued to make three-point shots.

"Huh"

The last basketball was thrown, Situ Nan stopped unsatisfied, walked to the recliner next to him to make it, and then took a sip of freshly squeezed juice beautifully, and the crisp feeling went straight to the bottom of his heart.

"Yimin, sit down, since you went to school, our brothers haven't spoken for a long time, and they have a lot of shares. But you also fought so hard that you managed to finish the four-year course in less than three years."

Situ Nan looked at Lin Yimin beside him with a look of relief, it was not the same when he went to college, he was a little bookish, and he was more mature and stable.

"Yes, I'm sorry young master, otherwise I wouldn't be able to have today? The grace of the young master, Yimin is unforgettable," Lin Yimin said to kneel down.

"Hey-don't stand up, the man has gold under his knees, I don't like a person who kneels down casually, I don't like to be kneeling down like someone"

Situ Nanhu shouted with a blushing face, "Hurry up, can the teachers at Yale University learn to soften their knees at every turn?" Look at your books in vain."

"Yes" Lin Yimin replied, but he still stubbornly bent his knees on the deck before standing up, looking at Situ Nan, his eyes were a little red. Situ Nan's words just now made him a little ashamed, but he still couldn't help but do it.

If Situ Nan hadn't kindly taken him in, he would have died a long time ago. Lin Yimin's family background was not bad, and his family was doing business in Guangzhou, so if you want to study it carefully, he is still a little young master of Xiguan.

Although he is not a big man in the business world, he runs a cloth shop on Shangjiu Road, and his family background is also solid, and he is the only child in the family.

Guangzhou has been China's window to the outside world since ancient times, and the merchants of Xiguan are not as knowledgeable as the mainlanders, Lin Yimin was sent by his family to study in the United States after finishing middle school in Guangzhou, so that he could succeed in his studies in the future and inherit the family business.

The situation is turbulent, human life is cheap, it is difficult to find a breath of peace and stability, and the Shangjia clan sometimes destroys their homes and houses. Lin Yimin was sent to a school in San Francisco for less than half a semester of preparatory department, and there was a news of Xinhai ** in China, but unfortunately the Lin family's business was destroyed in this turmoil, and Lin's father was so angry that he whimpered, leaving only a weak woman and a son who was far overseas.

The young master's dream finally woke up, and the young master Xiguan, who used to be pampered, had no support from his family, let alone continue his studies, and he couldn't even eat enough, and he was almost starving to death on the streets.

It was as if he had fallen from heaven to hell, and his bereavement and life were in trouble, which once made Lin Yimin discouraged. This misfortune is indeed a great test for a young man who has not suffered much in his teens.

The cruelty of fate and God's inadvertent inaction made Lin Yimin's life have to turn into another fork in the road.

Lin Yimin usually spends a lot of money, has no savings, and can't afford to buy a ticket back. After dropping out of school, he couldn't find any good job, and this "young master" with low eyes and skills could only wash dishes in a small restaurant in Chinatown.

Because after breaking the dishes and dishes in the restaurant many times, Lin Yimin had to be laughed at by the boss. But due to the pressure of survival, he had to endure it, and the bitterness was as difficult as drinking water - he knew whether he was warm or cold.

If it weren't for the fact that he still had a little backbone in his bones, Lin Yimin might have become a gangster in Chinatown, and maybe one day he would become a rotting corpse by the ditch.

Situ Nan met Lin Yimin by chance, when he had not yet made a career and was completely a ** silk, with an impulse and a dream to take a train from New York to Los Angeles.

When I was at the train station, I met a thin young man, dressed in rags, with yellow hair like autumn weeds, squatting at the gate of the station, watching the crowd coming and going without pupils and focus, confused, and numb.

Well, after Lin Yimin survived the most difficult half a year in the dark and dirty kitchen of a restaurant in Chinatown, he heard that Los Angeles was developing well, so he resolutely embarked on the journey.

came to Los Angeles in ignorance, but reality poured cold water on him again, and he had to stay at the train station in Los Angeles. Penniless, he could only watch the crowd of people coming and going silently pouting about his psychological pain.

Maybe it's fate

At that time, Situ Nan thought to himself, this young man must have experienced misfortune, otherwise how could there be that kind of numbness that is more grief than death? This expression is all too familiar to Situ Nan, just like the self who suddenly fell on the Titanic a few months ago.

With compassion, when Situ Nan passed by, he left $10 for the other party, and he didn't think too much about it, because he might not even be able to take care of himself?

When they met again, it was when Situ Nan was recruiting security guards, but Situ Nan didn't notice the gratitude in the eyes of a thin young man at that time, and he didn't remember that the man named Lin Yimin in front of him was the down-and-out man who had a relationship at the train station.

It wasn't until Lin Yimin mentioned it later that Situ Nan had some impressions, so he recruited Lin Yimin to become a member of the security consulting company.

The education level of the general security guards is not high, and many of the security guards that Situ Nan began to recruit are illiterate? For this, he later had to spend another sum of money to illiteracy for these guys.

When he was free, Situ Nan would also follow the training, and over time, he also had a deep impression of Lin Yimin, who was extraordinary in conversation and perseverance.

After learning what happened to Lin Yimin, he was deeply sympathetic, and it was also because of similar experiences that Situ Nan was impressed by Lin Yimin.

Especially after knowing that the other party had to give up his studies, he was very sorry, so he sent Lin Yimin to Yale to go to school. Why do you want to go to this school, because Yale was the first-class university in the United States that recruited the most Chinese students at that time. Of course, it is inseparable from Lin Yimin's efforts.

In order to make the other party distracted, Situ Nan later took Lin Yimin's mother over through the relationship of Guò Meihua Trading Company. Helping Lin Yimin, Situ Nan didn't want anything in return, but felt that since he had bumped into it, he should give a chance to a young man who was gradually coming out of misfortune.

Now that his career is getting bigger and bigger, he needs a lot of trustworthy people to help, so after Lin Yimin graduated from Yale University with a business degree, Situ Nan had the heart to cultivate him, let him be his secretary, and gradually handed over some unimportant matters to him.

"Yimin, the world is big and big, and there will always be a stage for us. It's small and small, because in the future I will encounter a lot of difficulties and meet a lot of difficult people, and I hope you can grow up quickly and help me. Situ Nan said earnestly.

The bigger his career became, the more he now found that there was a lack of highly educated and well-known talents like Lin Yimin. Lao He is one, but when it comes to things that use his mouth and brain, he can't expect that indifferent and direct guy too much

Fortunately in business, the company has a mature system to operate, as long as you firmly grasp the equity in your hands, I believe that no one can overturn yourself.

But if it involves other unrecognizable plans, Situ Nan is still willing to believe in a Chinese youth with black hair and yellow skin like himself.

"Young master, I will work hard." Lin Yimin said firmly. At this moment, he seemed to feel that Situ Nan was a little speechless, and the face that usually looked so elegant and confident didn't seem to be as light as people imagined, but instead carried too much pressure that ordinary people couldn't see.

It's a pity that he hasn't been able to help him before, thinking of this, Lin Yimin secretly clenched his fists. Except for the mother in Los Angeles who has not seen each other since separation, Situ Nan is the person Lin Yimin values most in this world.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Situ Nan smiled and shook his head, Lin Yimin was still a little tender, and he still needed to be carved to take on the heavy responsibility, Situ Nan felt that there was no need to put too much pressure on him now. Picked up the telegram next to him, changed the subject, and said, "It's a pity, this time I just didn't get to Chrysler's tank." ”

Situ Nan wiped his sweat and glanced at the telegram in his hand again.

It turned out that under the instructions of Situ Nan, Chrysler had developed a new type of tank, which was about to be realized. Chrysler sent a telegram inviting Stuart to visit. But the telegram came a little late, and the Wilhelm had already left the port.

Situ Nan has expectations for the new M1917 tank, which combines the Cadillac engine left by the original Leland father and son, the body technology of the Faith Body Company, the alloy technology of the Bethlehem United Steel Company, and the tank technology imported from the French Renault Company.

After Reborn came to the United States, he hasn't seen a real tank? There are few men who don't like tank artillery, and in his previous life, Situ Nan would always be enthusiastic every time he saw the scene of thousands of tank charges from the movie, and he hated to become a commander himself, and those majestic armored corps under his command galloped on the battlefield.

"Call Chrysler back and say I look forward to their success." Situ Nan said, crumpled the telegram in his hand into a ball, and threw it into the sea.
