Volume III: The Aftermath of Europe: Once Upon a Time in London

As the saying goes, the prosperity of antiques and troubled gold

Situ Nan noted that not only China, but also Europe has a promising market for cultural relics. Social turmoil, a large number of antique cultural relics into the cultural relics trading market, especially the war-torn Russia, Austria-Hungary and other countries, the aristocracy has fled, to France and Britain and other places, life is not found, had to sell property.

After Situ Nan recruited the absinthe chief, he turned his mind to the European antique market, asking people to buy the treasures of those dilapidated aristocrats in Paris and London, and Situ Nan always wanted to buy a Russian easter egg.

In 1919, a new chapter in history was opened. If you count carefully, you can still find a hazy silhouette that will affect the future world pattern from some clues.

Like Theodore the teddy bear? Roosevelt died, and the empire of the two oceans he had built during his lifetime became the existence of Europe alongside Europe. The Nazi Party was founded, and the workers of the Weimar Republic were constantly demonstrating, but the Jewish bankers lived in luxury. The Third Comintern was founded, and the Soviets began to export the revolution to all countries, and they went head-to-head with the Western powers that interfered in the Russian Revolution.

Of course, the most striking thing was the peace conference held in Paris, which would set the international pattern for the next 20 years, and Situ Nan could not help but pay attention to it.

In March, the earth rejuvenates.

On this day, the weather is clear, the clouds are light and the wind is light, and on the calm surface of the Pacific Ocean, a cruise ship with blue and white paint and elegant lines is breaking the waves, and under the surprise of a freighter next to it, it is moving away at a speed of 20 knots.

Inside the wheelhouse of the William.

"Haha! It's so cool! I was stunned when I saw the lookout of that cargo ship! Situ Nan put the steering wheel and said proudly to Lin Yimin next to him.

"Yes! The technology of the Bethlehem shipyard is really good. Lin Yimin put down the binoculars and turned back to echo.

After the ship departed from Los Angeles, Situ Nan was bored on the boat, so he ran to the wheelhouse to learn to drive a boat. He used to be a crew member on the Titanic, so he knows a lot of nautical knowledge, and he is smart and makes rapid progress. After a few days, under the guidance of the captain, Situ Nan learned well, and finally he was able to get over the captain's addiction.

After playing for a while, Situ Nan lost interest and left the cab. The crew members are relieved, they have been tossed by Situ Nan a lot in the past few days, who called Situ Nan the boss?

As soon as Situ Nan returned to the room, he heard a loud cry, which was his son Andy crying, and after a while, the crying stopped under the comfort of the old mother.

Yes. After the arrogant departure, the little guy became more and more annoying, crying at every turn, crying several times a day, making Situ Nan and his wife nervous breakdown, both of them had little experience, and then they couldn't stand it anymore, so they handed it over to the maid to bring.

The Wilhelm had everything on board, and Situ Nan also specially prepared a medical team, which was equipped with all kinds of advanced medical equipment, which was enough to complete a difficult surgical operation.

Walking into Laura's study, Situ Nan saw Laura writing at the desk and ignored himself.

"What are you busy with?" Situ Nan asked.

"Some plans for the school." Laura didn't lift her head and continued to work.

"What's the plan?" Situ Nan asked again.

"William University's plan to recruit teachers in Europe, I plan to bring a group of teachers from Germany to William University." Laura replied.

"Not bad idea, but this should be left to Stratton, who is the principal." Situ Nan said, "This is our global honeymoon, why should it be ruined by that lazy carpenter!" ”

"Didn't we just get to Europe? Mr. Stratton has already sent recruitment letters to many well-known professors in Germany! He's not lazy! ”

Laura turned her head to Situ Nan, with a bit of girlish childishness in her maturity, and that style made Situ Nan's heart unbearable.

"Hey! It's hard to come out once, and you should take a good break. Come on, I'll give you a massage! Situ Nan walked behind Laura, bent down, and slowly lowered his soft shoulders with his big hands, this massage was all-round.

"Let go of me! You bastard!?"

Laura struggled several times to no avail, so she had to let Situ Nan and slowly cooperate with Situ Nan's movements.

Afterwards, the two of them lay naked on the carpet in the study, constantly panting. Clothes, papers, and books were messy all over the floor. It's just been a storm.

"What a bastard! Guy who specializes in killing people! Laura sneered. The red tide on her face has not faded yet, although her mouth is hard, but the tenderness in her eyes has betrayed her heart, but unfortunately she doesn't even have the strength to move her fingers now.

"Hey, hey!" Situ Nan is not annoyed, he owes Laura a wedding, although the two are engaged, and now they even have a son, but they have never had the opportunity to hold a grand wedding, so this trip took Laura and her son out for a walk, which is considered compensation.

Looking at the blue sky and sea outside the window, Situ Nan was in a happy mood, and couldn't help but murmur softly: "I have a big boat, carrying my lover on board, facing the sea every day, and the spring flowers are blooming!" ”

??

A few days later, the William arrived in London, its first stop in Europe. The Port of London is huge, one of the largest ports in the world, but it has just gone through a world war, and the Port of London is a bit depressed, and the berths are quite empty.

The arrival of the William caused a small commotion in the harbor, and many people looked curiously at the beautiful cruise ship in the harbor.

The dock quickly went through the entry procedures, and Situ Nan was a little amazed at the efficiency of the Port of London, thinking that it really deserved to be a maritime power that has been rampant for a hundred years!

Since the big ship could not enter the city of London, Situ Nan and the others had to change passenger ships and continue up the Thames. During this period, when passing by the world-famous Tower Bridge in London, Situ Nan also exclaimed again.

"The sky in London is still so grey! But there is a lot of depression, and there are not as many people on the street as there used to be. Laura stood at the bow of the boat and sighed. Before she met Situ Nan, she had studied in Europe, London, Paris, Berlin and other big cities, and now she has revisited the old place, which is very emotional.

"It's still our Los Angeles that is more comfortable, I always feel that London is too old, too old-fashioned, and even the air gives people a little bit of depression." South Szeto Road.

"Stoney, tell me about your time in London." Laura said she knew that Stuart had grown up in London, but Stuart had never mentioned his experience in England.

"It's been so long, I've almost forgotten! I don't know if I can still find the original place, right? Situ Nan said with some gloom that his predecessor left a lot of memories, but unfortunately, the couple who created the body are no longer there, and Situ Nan has no chance to repay it.

Seeing Situ Nan silent, Laura suddenly felt a little sad, she felt that Situ Nan was too pitiful, except for herself and Andy, there was no one relative, and she always suffered a qiē silently.

Thinking of this, Laura silently shook Situ Nan's hand and told her husband with her own actions that she would be by his side.

The next day, in the chaotic slums of London, a few high-end cars came, and a noble couple walked into a closed house surrounded by bodyguards. The thugs on the street all looked at this group of uninvited guests with curiosity, and only the elderly remembered that there was a Chinese family of three living in the old house. It's just that not long after the couple died, their remaining son died after a while on the streets.

With his memory, Situ Nan found the house left by Lao Situ, but it was in disrepair and dilapidated.

When Situ Nan saw a yellowed family photo on the peeling wall, his nose was a little sour, which was a very strange feeling, obviously bearing feelings that did not belong to him, but at this moment, he felt the same way.

Situ Nan silently wiped the dust off the photo, turned his head to Laura beside him and said, "Put this away and take it back to my home in Los Angeles in the future." ”

"Is this Mom and Dad?" Laura asked, looking at the child in the photo who looked a little similar to Situ Nan.

"Yes. Are they old Situ and?? Old lady. Situ Nan suddenly couldn't remember the name of the kind woman in the photo.

If it weren't for the fall of "herself" in the first place, that woman wouldn't have gone so early, right? Situ Nan thought with some guilt. But if there is no "self" fall, there will not be a soul coming into this world a hundred years later, right?

Situ Nan shook off the thoughts that were circling in his mind and instructed Lin Yimin: "Find someone to fix the house, just follow the original state." I also bought the surrounding area and built a house around the old house. ”

"Okay. I understand. Lin Yimin said. Situ Nan wants to restore the former residence, which is a big deal and cannot be neglected.

Then Situ Nan also deliberately went to the Chinese restaurant at the original home to take a look, planning to buy it back when he had the opportunity, but unfortunately it was used for other purposes by the later owner, so Situ Nan had to give up.

Over the next few days, the residents of Lao Situ's neighborhood died of joy because a group of real estate agents came in, and these people waved a lot of checks to buy their old house for several times the price. That money was enough for them to move to the city center and buy a house of the same size.

Half a year later, this slum was completely demolished and rebuilt, fenced off, and only the old Situ house in the middle remained. The people who live around are curious about who lives in it. But no one ever knew who the owner was, not even the servants who lived in it and looked after the house, they only knew that every year someone came from the United States to inspect the house. Especially the lazy house in the middle, which looks like a brand, has become the focus of maintenance.

At this time, I will not talk about it later.

Situ Nan knew that apart from the old house, he had no connection with the British. London didn't feel very good for Stuart, although he went to many places, such as the British Museum, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Trafalgar Square, and even Buckingham Palace to meet the British royal family.

The head of the William consortium and the princess of the Mellon family are naturally qualified to associate with the royal family. However, Situ Nan has always kept a low profile and visited in a private capacity, so the public did not know that there was once such a person who visited the UK.

The William Consortium had a good relationship with the British side from the beginning of its establishment, firmly sided with Britain in the war, provided Britain with a large amount of arms and loans, and at the same time made a lot of efforts to promote the United States to join the Entente, which effectively guaranteed the victory of the Entente.

When the car came out of Buckingham Palace, remembering the face of George V, Situ Nan, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help laughing, and his son Andy clenched his little fist in Laura's arms, and laughed along.

"I'm really speechless to your father and son." Laura glanced at Situ Nan a little annoyed, it was too rude just now, in Buckingham Palace, when King George V came to hug Andy, he was on a soak of urine!

"What a son he is! Dare to pee in the arms of the king! Situ Nan said proudly.
