Volume IV Boom 21 Across the Atlantic

"You seem to be interested in Joseph? You just teased him? Robles smiled and glanced at Situ Nan.

"Ambitious? It's the same for everyone here. Robles smiled, a little disdainful of Situ Nan's answer.

"That's different. This guy is somewhat fanatical, religiously fanatical, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his ends. Situ Nan smiled faintly.

As his experience grew, he maintained his passion for business and developed a great interest in studying the human mind.

"What are you going to do with him?" Situ Nan asked.

"Let's look at it for a while." Robles thought for a moment, and then said, "Joseph is like a cunning wolf, and we can leave some things that are inconvenient for us to come forward in the future." I think he should have been willing. ”

"That's fine." Situ Nan nodded.

The Kennedy family is not only a political family, but also a gangster family. Kennedy had just recently started a moonshine business with a Chicago gangster.

Take Joseph? Kennedy has the ability to mix both black and white, and it is also appropriate to hand over some dirty work to him, and I believe that Kennedy, who is now in a hurry to make a fortune, will not refuse. As for bleaching, that's decades later.

It is rare for the two to get together, so naturally they have to have a full drink. Thinking of being released from the plane yesterday, Robles, who was relaxed, couldn't help but count Situ Nan's old accounts.

Situ Nan didn't refute it, but just smiled and drank.

"You're really not a thing, you're messing around with flowers. However, the red flag fluttering at home and the colorful flags fluttering outside are really enviable. Robles laughed.

"Each other, each other. But you should also think about it, haven't you met a good one? Situ Nan couldn't help but care.

Robles has a lot of women, but they are all thrown away after giving the pen usage fee, and he has always been a prodigal son in the past few years.

"Trying, trying. You'll have to try it again to find out which one! Robles smiled shamelessly, "I'm much freer at that." Ha ha. ”

"Okay. I can't say anything about you. But when I have time to visit Los Angeles, my baby is about to be born. Situ Nan said proudly. He suddenly remembered the woman who was thousands of miles away.

The next day, Kennedy went to Robles Securities and Fox to discuss investments in motion pictures and radio broadcasting.

Situ Nan also left his mansion on the banks of the Hudson River and left in Kuzdova's reluctance.

From her mouth, Situ Nan learned that the aircraft genius Sikorski had gathered a group of like-minded friends to go to Hartford, Connecticut to chase his dream of flying, and soon founded the Sikorski Aircraft Company.

For flying, Situ Nan has always maintained a full passion. Under his leadership, Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company established the Flying Dream Fund to fund flying Cummins-Lincoln aircraft on Atlantic expeditions.

New York. Thousands of empty alleys.

The police cleared a straight and clean road at the pier and set up a cordon, and more than two dozen uniformed sergeants watched the surrounding situation vigilantly, looking a little wary. When you think of the bombings on Wall Street, it's not hard to understand the caution of the police.

There was a sudden cheer from the crowd, and a brightly painted plane was towed out of the dock by a small boat and moored in the water not far away.

It was a biplane seaplane, with a fat pontoon, partially protruding from the water, which looked a little cute, but the wings more than 20 meters long, the nose of the plane was raised, pointing towards the sea, as if to tell the people that this warrior would rush to the vast Atlantic Ocean at any time.

"What an envy! Man, you're in luck! What a good guy, I installed the engine myself, and that one is a full 250 horsepower. ”

Moored ashore on the William, not far from the docks, Paul held the binoculars and looked at Rollins with a look of regret.

"The thought of your immense feats of flying across the Atlantic makes me jealous that I want to kick you into the sea."

"Do you want your son and brother-in-law to come up in the Atlantic Ocean again to save the pilot Paul? Hehe! ”

Rollins smiled, looking very smug and a little underwhelmed. Because I have participated in the Raphael Flying Squad before, and Paul? Mellon's close "friends", so the two have been dating in an almost slapstick way.

Paul sighed helplessly. He was the initiator of this Atlantic flight, but unfortunately because of his special status, he could not personally fly this plane that had devoted countless efforts to fly over the Atlantic.

"You said I'd fly straight over, wouldn't that guy Eugene be surprised! His big mouth was so surprised that he probably could swallow the Atlantic! ”

Rollins laughed, no longer teasing Paul.

Their black "friend" Eugene stayed in France after the war, thinking that he could meet his old friend, and Rawlings couldn't help but be happy and more confident about the flight.

When he himself returned to Texas, he wanted to continue farming his family's farm. However, he couldn't bear the loneliness, so he was recruited by Paul to Los Angeles to continue to do air shows, and he was very busy as an instructor at a flight school.

Due to his skill, this lucky opportunity fell to him.

After a night's rest on the William, the blond-haired young man, full of energy, was eager to fly to Europe on the other side.

"Haha. It's time for me to go down, it misses me. Rawlings hugged Paul, got into the runabout moored next to the William, and headed for the seaplane.

"Say hello to that guy for me!" Paul shouted. Rollins waved his hand back. ??????

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be able to experiment with flying over the Atlantic Ocean so much, it's worth the money." Situ Nan said with a smile.

"This Seaplane Columbus is the culmination of our Cummins-Lincoln engineers who have been able to fly all the way from Los Angeles before, and I believe it won't disappoint."

It was Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company Vice President, Wilfer? Leland, he is the patriarch of the aircraft company, Henry? Leland.

"Wilfer, what do you say we will do after this success?" Situ Nan took a cigar in his mouth and looked at the Columbus not far away.

After World War I, a large number of aircraft in the United States were retired from the military and became civilian cargo planes, and many savvy businessmen bought those cheap aircraft groups to carry out transportation business.

Mail and express delivery is one of the most important businesses, and it is also a new attempt. Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company, for example, has a transportation business unit that transports mail in several western states.

"Of course. If this is successful, we will be able to ship the mail to Europe. Wilfer glanced expectantly into the distance.

"European routes? Not a bad idea! Situ Nan said with a smile. With the advantages established in the early stage, it is impossible for future airlines to monopolize the Atlantic route. It's also an early exploration investment!

Compared with the booming aircraft technology, the situation of aircraft companies is not so good, and after losing war orders, many aircraft companies have become unsustainable.

Even the wealthy Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company is supported by the previous foundation, and if you want to make money, there is no way! After cutting two-thirds of the production line, it is still losing money.

Even the formation of the transportation business department is because the warehouse has a lot of inventory, and it is reluctant to sell it to those merchants at a low price, so it has to set up its own air transportation business.

"How's the situation with the aircraft company?" Situ Nan asked.

Just as Wilfer was about to answer, there was a cheer from the docks, and a thousand hats swaying as the Columbus took off.

The four huge engines on the wings rumbled, the strong wind from the propellers blew small waves on the water, and the plane slowly rowed out, faster and faster, and finally leapt into the sky with a cheer.

The proud pilot did not forget to shake his wings and say goodbye to everyone.

Be sure to succeed! Rawlings!

Paul looked into the distance, clenched his fists, and silently wished in his heart.

Flying over the Atlantic is a feat, will it succeed? Can humanity conquer the skies of the Atlantic?

Situan's answer is yes, and it would have been better if Cummins-Lincoln had come now.

Situ Nan ignored his depressed brother-in-law and continued to discuss the matter of the aircraft company with Wilfer.

"Although the aircraft industry is not very good now, and there is still a bit of a distance from the commercialization of truly mature aircraft, the research and development of aircraft cannot be left behind. We have to stay ahead of the curve in technology. I can afford to lose that money. Situ Nanhao said angrily.

"Hmm. Now the company's business is at a loss, but the loss is not large. Wilfer smiled, "It's thanks to your connections, boss." The fact that we have been able to recoup a lot of costs from the aircraft we export to Asia, and the fact that we have recently partnered with Amex on the transportation business has helped to improve our financial position. ”

Compared to other aircraft manufacturers, Cummins-Lincoln is much better. According to the information that Situ Nan got from his peers, some aircraft companies should already be furniture companies.

This is not a joke, most of the planes in the 20s were made of wood, so it is more than enough to make the furniture that the aircraft manufacturer should make, after all, the requirements for the structure, hardness, and smoothness of the wing are higher than that of furniture.

"That's good. I don't want Cummins-Lincoln, a sign that has been erected so hard, to smash it, and I can't tolerate it becoming a furniture brand. Situ Nan said domineeringly.

"So not only did we not have to save money, but we also had to develop monoplanes, metal aircraft, and that's when the aviation industry really shined.

You've got ten years, Wilfer. You're a leader in the U.S. aviation industry, you know? Situ Nan encouraged.

was provoked by Situ Nan like this, and Wilfer immediately shook his spirits. "Boss, don't worry! When it comes to building airplanes, I won't lose to anyone else! Wilfer assured.

"That's good!" Situ Nan patted Wilffrank's shoulder vigorously. Although in terms of age, Wilf Frank can be Situ Nan's father, Wilfer feels that it is natural at this time, and his bones are lighter.

The crowd on the pier gradually dispersed, and the reporters who took a lot of photos went back with great anticipation, and after returning home, they were ready to use extremely gorgeous pen and ink to render this flight adventure, which I believe will attract a large number of people's attention.

There are still some spectators on the pier who are reluctant to leave, and these pious people silently pray to the sea.

Looking at the people who kept drawing crosses on their chests, Situ Nan felt that they were more eager to succeed than the initiator himself, and he felt a little emotional.

This feeling is like the ascension of Chinese astronauts he saw in his previous life, and there is a sense of pride. Although this feeling fades once you see more, it is undeniable that a successful breakthrough can indeed strengthen the cohesion of a country and nation, just like this flight over the Atlantic.

It seems that I have no affection for this country? Situ Nan laughed at himself in his heart. He shook his head and turned back to the cabin.

To Situ Nan's surprise, the president of the aircraft company, Henry? Leland offered him a ride, and he was going back to Detroit to make cars.

"Even if he succeeded in building an airplane, my father still didn't give up on his dream of cars, and he said he wanted to build the best car in the United States." Wilfer said helplessly, he knew how stubborn he was.

"In that case, the old gentleman can go to Chrysler Corporation!" South Szeto Road.

For Henry, who was able to build the Cadillac, Cummins-Lincoln plane? Leland, he didn't want to lose this old baby.

I said the same, but he refused. He said that Chrysler was similar to GM and only wanted to make money-making cars, which was a little different from his idea. Wilfer said helplessly.

"He plans to wait for you to resign in person in Los Angeles, but if you agree, he can do something in advance."

"It won't affect the normal operation of the company, right?" Situ Nan asked.

"No, it won't. Now most of the company's affairs are managed by Xu (Xu Zhouyang) and me. Wilfer said.

"Alright! I agree. Then you will be the president of the aircraft company! Situ Nan nodded and readily agreed to Lao Lelan's resignation. It is good for old Leland to leave the company, so that his father and son will not be able to lose their weight in the aircraft company.

History is always a bit stubborn. Henry? Leyland wants to make an airplane, but it turns out that GM is going to do it, and now that the plane is done, and he has to return to the automotive industry, will he create Lincoln, a high-end car brand?

Situ Nan had some expectations.

Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company was successful, making a lot of money selling planes in World War I.

With millions of dollars in money, it wasn't too difficult to build a car factory. After all, it is not a large-scale production of cars like Ford, but a small number of high-end cars are slowly polished and crafted.

The old partner wanted to start a new business, and Situ Nan had no reason not to take a hand, and he later invested a small $100,000 in the Lincoln Automobile Company opened by the old Leland and became a minority shareholder.

As for losing money? Then pay for it! When the old Leland loses almost everything, it is estimated that he will be able to build a high-end car, and then he will pick up the ready-made ones. Well, this is the weight that Chrysler will use to compete with GM's Cadillac in the premium car market in the future.

Ford will not appreciate a car brand like Lincoln, his guy will only make a T-type car with four wheels and one engine, and Lincoln's car falling into his hands is simply a violent thing, and God can't bear it! Situ Nan thought beautifully in his heart.

The result was a happy affair with Leland Sr. pursuing his automotive dreams, Leland Wilfer Jr. being put to full control of the Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company, and Stuart Nan taking both father and son into his pocket??????
