When Situ Nan returned to New York, he went to William Financial on William Street, across the street from Wall Street and Broadway, and couldn't wait to check the performance of the William Consortium in the past six months.

Putting down the thick financial report, Situ Nan thought to himself: "The joint-stock system and professional managers are really great inventions of modern business!" The role is no less than the invention of the steam engine. ”

The business of its industry is doing well, and even if Situ Nan is not in the United States, his partners still run the company smoothly, which reassures him.

Under Situ Nan's deliberate arrangement, the William Consortium firmly seized the development opportunities in the hot industries of energy, automobiles, and real estate, and took the initiative and purposefully occupied these most potential industrial sectors.

Although Situ Nan did not personally go to Detroit to investigate, he felt that it was already boiling.

The era of automobiles has come, the Chrysler Corporation has a strong momentum of development, and the same is General Motors, these two rising stars have begun to attack Ford Motor, the hegemon of the American automobile industry, showing the situation that Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, the three major automobile companies, monopolize the American automobile industry.

The automobile industry stimulates the development of the oil industry, and tire companies and oil companies closely related to the automobile industry are increasingly feeling the feast brought to them by the automobile industry.

Richard went to Nanhua and took a fancy to Nanhua's rich rubber resources, so he took the initiative to promote Goodyear Tire Company to set up a branch in Nanhua without being reminded by Situ Nan, and took a share of the rubber trade monopolized by Meihua Company, so the rubber industry is also an industrial sector that has developed rapidly in Nanhua, laying the foundation for the development of Nanhua's automobile industry later.

"You want to invest in Chrysler?" Situ Nan looked at Richard with a sneering face, and he couldn't wait to punch him.

"Didn't you also invite the Mellon family to invest in the car company at the beginning? Hehe. Besides, you have invested so much in Nanhua, and the funds are a little tight, so don't I share one or two for you? ”

Richard laughed.

But Andrew refused. Situ Nan sneered.

"He wanted to be an official at that time, and he was afraid that he wouldn't have time to take care of it, so he didn't think about it so much. Isn't it my responsibility for Mellon's property now? You're not going to turn me down, are you? Richard looked at Situ Nan. Eyes burning.

This guy is so thick-skinned! A matter of course!

Automobiles will be the largest industrial sector in the United States over the next decade and the largest in the United States this century.

In 1929, the output value had exceeded seven billion dollars, accounting for 8% of the gross domestic product!

Such a huge cake. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that almost all of them will be monopolized by the three major automobile companies, so it's no wonder that Richard has the cheekiness to take a stake in Chrysler.

"How many cars were there in the U.S. last year?" Situ Nan suddenly asked, "More than 35 million!" Richard blurted out.

"Not bad! Sitting on my homework, I know it so clearly. Situ Nan looked at Richard with some sarcasm.

"Hey, hey! In 1919, there were only more than 7 million automobiles in the United States, and the rapid growth in recent years scared me! For this rapidly expanding market. I can't turn a blind eye! In the words of you Chinese, what is it called! ”

Richard laughed. If he had known that the automobile industry was developing so rapidly, even if Andrew was not interested, he would have to go to Chrysler to participate in it, and now he would not have to beg Situ Nan.

"Yo! Will the idioms be used? Situ Nan was a little surprised. In the past two years, the Mellon consortium has become increasingly close to Nanhua, employing a large number of Nanhua workers in its factories, and has become the second largest investor after the William consortium. Coveting the oil of South China. Richard went to Nanhua three or four times, and had a lot of dealings with Nanyang Chinese, so it was inevitable that he would learn a few words of Chinese.

"This. I learned it from Laura. Richard said softly, secretly looking at Cheese Nan's face.

Situ Nan ignored Richard, but seemed to be moved by Richard's proposal, frowning and thinking about whether to accept the Mellon family into Chrysler Corporation.

In comparison, among the three major automobile companies, Ford needless to say, the Ford assembly line has transformed the American industry, and Ford's influence is not comparable to that of the newly rising Chrysler cars.

After General Motors hired Sloan Jr. as its president, it began a drastic reform, relying on well-known brands such as Buick and Chevrolet. GM's multi-brand strategy, with the financial support of DuPont and Morgan, quickly became super-powerful.

Chrysler Corporation is undoubtedly the weakest of them. Although China became popular in World War I by producing tanks, as an automobile company, there is still a long way to go compared to Ford and GM, which have long been famous.

The future of the automotive industry is definitely very competitive, if you let this guy Richard join the mix. For Chrysler, it is an extra layer of help, and it also helps itself share a lot of energy.

Situ Nan thought to himself that after the founding of Nanhua, his energy was increasingly devoted to the national construction plan of Nanhua, and there was very little actual management of American industries.

"Let me think about it." Situ Nandao glanced at Richard a little unwillingly, "Is this what Andrew meant?" ”

"I brought it up, but he didn't object." Richard said with a smile, listening to Situ Nan's tone of not very strong opposition, he knew that the other party was tempted.

Looking at the capable brother-in-law in front of him, he admired and was not angry, and always wanted to compete.

Richard's smiling appearance made Situ Nan a little angry, this guy is famous for being "ripe" and unrelenting.

For some reason, Situ Nan thought of Andrew's calm and wise face, and scolded in his heart - I didn't listen to you at the beginning, but now I want to come and pick peaches after planting them, it's true!

"It's okay if you want to take a stake in Chrysler, but you have the conditions." South Szeto Road.

"On what terms?" Richard said with a smile, after hearing Situ Nan's relief, his heart was happy, he was seen to be calm just now, but he was actually still worried about being rejected by Situ Nan.

"I haven't thought of it yet, but it's related to Nanhua. I hope that the Mellon family will push the United States to support South China, and that the Chinese Exclusion Act should be amended. ”

Situ Nan said with a frown, looking at Richard with a solemn face.

"Investing in South China, in fact, we have been doing it, and that's no problem. However, the "Chinese Exclusion Act" involves Congress, and it is too troublesome. It's not easy to deal with, but it's probably okay to modify some specific terms. ”

Richard promised.

"Hmm." Situ Nan nodded, it was impossible to overturn the "Chinese Exclusion Act" at once. Although it is wrong, the William Consortium and the Mellon Consortium, plus now that Nanhua also has a little international status, it is estimated that the cooperation between them will allow the US government to make measures to improve the exit of Chinese.

Situ Nan is still relatively sure of this, now that the Republican Party is in power, big conglomerates and big companies hate racial discrimination the most. Because they need more and cheaper labor.

For example, in the big cities of the North, a large number of black workers were employed, who worked harder, paid lower wages, and were popular with the capitalists.

Seeing Situ Nan's solemn face, Richard felt a little in his heart, and the Mellon family knew and sympathized with Situ Nan's heart knot. is even more reluctant to let go of Situ Nan, a son-in-law who can always bring them huge benefits, so he has always stood by Situ Nan's side.

"At the beginning, it was California and other western states that advocated Chinese exclusion, and various Chinese exclusion bills in the east were useless. Now that California has been settled by you, you and I are working together, I don't believe that this thing can't be done? ”

Richard said confidently.

His attitude deepened Situ Nan's good impression of him, Situ smiled slightly, and his heart was a little moved: "I can transfer 8% of Chrysler's shares, but after becoming a shareholder of the company, the Mellon family cannot sit back and enjoy its success, and it cannot be ambiguous when it should play a role." You know, our opponents are strong! ”

"Of course. But we're also very powerful. I will take a stake in Chrysler in the name of Mellon Bank, and I will also promote the strengthening of ties between Goodyear Tire Company, Bethlehem Company, Westinghouse Electric and Chrysler Corporation.

Don't forget. And your Cummins Electric Company, Occidental Petroleum Company, Wells Fargo. How could such a huge industrial alliance not lose to General Motors, right? ”

Richard laughed, he was ambitious, it seemed that he had been thinking about this for not a day or two, and he had made a lot of plans.

Behind every large automobile company is a large number of powerful companies to support, the automobile industry and energy, machinery and steel and other manufacturing industries are closely related, can drive the upstream and downstream industrial chain. The development of the automobile industry requires the cooperation of other industrial sectors with strong industrial technology, and the scale is huge, so only a few industrial powers in the world have the conditions for the development of the automobile industry.

In the twenties and thirties, there was only the United States as the world's automobile power! Germany can only be counted as half, the rest of Britain and France are at most half small, and the Japanese have not even learned how to imitate cars.

Situ Nan hopes that Nanhua can develop the automobile industry in the future, in addition to railways, he also plans to build highways in Nanhua, he has too many ideas in his head, but he can't realize it for a while.

However, in addition to direct investment in Chrysler Corporation, he also selectively invested in tanning, glass and other related industries in Nanhua around the automotive industry chain.

In addition, Nanhua's fast-growing rubber industry can accept orders from the United States to prepare for Nanhua's automotive industry.

Japan can do it, Situ Nan doesn't believe that Nanhua can't do it!

Since it has chosen to build an industrial power in South China, it must make trade-offs in the industry in the United States, even if it is a profiteering auto industry, it has to endure the pain of letting the Mellon family participate.

Situ Nan accepted this result calmly, but in fact, he did not suffer a loss, and the surrender of a small part of the stake did not affect his controlling stake in Chrysler.

An 8% stake may not seem like much, but for a large company, it is already a large share, and in the future, the Mellon family can subscribe for more shares by virtue of its shareholder status, gradually increasing its influence on Chrysler.

Richard went away satisfied, and perhaps at this moment, he had the idea of organizing the automobile industry.

Stuart informed Chrysler President Walter of the results? Chrysler, Chrysler has no objection and welcomes Mellon Bank's stake in Chrysler.

"It's a good thing, we need more strong investors to join." Chrysler laughed.

"Is the company short of funds?" Situ Nan was a little displeased, but his face didn't show any expression.
