1. New challenges

Or Hollywood's Beverly Hills William Manor Stuart Nan's family dining, full of exquisite food is more attractive than the report of the war.

Although the news of the victory had been coming from Europe for more than a week, the fighting had continued, with reports of "repression" and "American GIs stationed in Germany". Situ Nan has also been paying attention to the situation, and generally secretly corroborates with his own memories.

"Oh my God! Thankfully, the war is finally over! Hopefully our Andy never goes through these cruel things. Laura said with a sympathetic look at Andy, placing a cross on her chest.

"Yes! It's time for it to end! Situ Nan looked at the photos of the soldiers with relieved smiles in the newspaper, and he was overwhelmed with emotion.

"I've had enough! You guys use it slowly! Paul put down his knife and fork, got up and apologized, put on his jacket, and walked silently out the door, when in a moment he heard a whining sound and a plane flew through the sky like an angry bird.

"My dear, Paul is back to his old idleness, and he has been paying little attention to school lately." Laura said with some concern, staring at Situ Nan with bright eyes, hoping that he would have some good way to cheer up his younger brother.

"Don't worry. Most people who have experienced war are lost, and although Paul has been back for a while, his heart has always been there, focused on what is there. Don't worry, he'll be fine when he figures it out. "Situ Nandao.

"I hope so!" Laura sighed.

Bell bell bell!

The phone rang. Situ Nan picked up the handle and heard Andrew's excited voice - "Stoney, I didn't expect to be said by you again, the war is over so soon!" Hey, I really didn't expect it, I thought there would be more than half a year! ”

There was some regret in Andrew's excited tone.

"Yes. I thought it was our American GIs who fought invinciblely into the Rhine, but I didn't expect the Germans to mess themselves up, and those Soviets helped us a lot! Situ Nan replied. He had known this result for a long time, and the general trend of history had not changed because of his appearance.

"Yes. Those Soviets are not easy to deal with, I have heard that the situation in Europe is very bad, we have defeated the Germans and more Soviets have stood up. Andrew said worriedly.

"Leave this to the White House! We're busy taking care of our business now. The War Industry Committee canceled our order, and I'm having a headache! ”

Situ Nan said with a frown.

"Yes! I heard that the Wartime Industrial Council was about to be abolished, and Bernard was ready to submit his resignation. But we've got what we wanted. By the way, I heard a rumor that some parliamentarians had proposed to investigate the wartime industrial bureau and the major arms companies during the war. Bethlehem also needs to be prepared in a timely manner. Andrew admonished.

Now that the Mellon consortium is also one of the shareholders of Bethlehem United Steel, Andrew can't help but care that Bethlehem's excellence during the war has a reason to be blushing.

After all, not every company can supply hundreds of millions of dollars of arms to the U.S. military and Britain and France like the United Steel Company, draining the blood of Europeans like a pumping machine.

The war was a good thing for the entire American industry, but it also suppressed the development of some enterprises, and some international trade had to be interrupted because of the war, which harmed the interests of some American companies. To put it bluntly, it is a conflict between different interest groups.

For example, local consortia such as the Cleveland Consortium and the Chicago Consortium, which rose in World War I, were a little slower to develop because of Bethlehem Steel's excellent performance in arms.

Similarly, because of the rise of Western Oil, the development of the Rockefeller consortium in the oil industry has been partially restricted. The growth of Robles Securities and Wells Fargo has also put pressure on the Morgan consortium.

The snowballing expansion of the William consortium is uncomfortable for the other consortiums, because the rise of a new force is always a challenge to the traditional powers.

It is also normal for them to be hostile to the William Consortium. Wells Fargo and Occidental Petroleum are in the far west and south, and they are out of reach for a while, but they are like a fish in the throat for the Bethlehem United Steel Company at their doorstep!

Of course, some people have begun to target Robles Securities, but Robles Securities, which holds a large number of US Treasury bonds, is not afraid of any challenge at all.

Speaking of which, in fact, it is the Bethlehem Company that attracts the most envy, who calls it the largest arms company! In particular, several regional consortia such as Cleveland, Chicago, and Boston, whose steel companies or shipbuilding companies were strongly challenged by the Bethlehem Company, were most eager to knock out the Bethlehem Company.

After thinking about it inside and out, Situ Nan asked, "Is it those people in Cleveland and Boston who make small moves?" ”

"Almost! It's good that you know. But they can't afford to make any big waves, and I'm still here. Andrew's confident voice came from the other end of the line.

Indeed, Andrew is qualified to be so domineering. The Mellon consortium is the only consortium that has developed better than history because of the emergence of Situ Nan. With the collaboration between the Bethlehem and Gulf Oil companies, the Mellon consortium has grown from the Pittsburgh area to a major national conglomerate, second only to the Morgan and Rockefeller conglomerates.

This is also the reason why the other consortiums in the east have not directly attacked Situ Nan, because they are all taboo about the old fox in Pittsburgh.

After all, several large companies under the William Consortium have shares of the Mellon family, and the Mellon family is entrenched in American high society, many times, as long as Situ Nan does not do anything excessive and gives a step, other consortia will generally not directly attack the William Consortium.

For example, the cooperation between Giant and Pfizer has won the favor of many people, and some old people also said that Situ Nan, a young man, knows how to be a man, and he doesn't want to be like the proud old man of Rockefeller, who wants to kill everyone else.

"Okay! I know! Situ Nan warmed his heart, the old man really blocked a lot of wind and rain behind him. Later, when Situ Nan talked about it, he joked to Laura, married a wife, and married half of the Mellon consortium back.

Taking precautions is Situ Nan's consistent practice, and when he put down the phone, he dialed the phone number of Eugene, president of Bethlehem United Steel Company, and told Eugene about his worries, so that Bethlehem United Steel Company could be prepared.

"Mr. William, Bethlehem's share price has fallen again today." Eugene said with some gloom.

"Oh? Fell again? Is someone doing something petty? Situ Nan asked.

"Not really. Not only us, but also the stock prices of major steel companies such as American Steel, DuPont, and Alcoa have fallen. It seems that our prosperous days are gone! Eugene explained.

"Didn't we expect that? If you fall, you will fall! When the price is low, we'll just absorb it. Situ Nan comforted.

"Hmm. It seems that the prosperous days are over, and we still have a large number of munitions and ammunition in our warehouses, and the newly built dockyards are going to be abandoned, which is a pity. Eugene sighed regretfully and reported to Situ Nan about the general situation of the Bethlehem Company.

"Whether the war continues or not, Bethlehem will always be a major company in the world, and our achievements are obvious to all, and our position in the industry is still leading. I have always been very optimistic about the Bethlehem Company, in the future, more cars, bigger ships, more majestic bridges, more high-rise buildings, all inseparable from steel, inseparable from the great Bethlehem Company. Believe me, Eugene, Bethlehem will always be the coordinates of American industrialization! ”

Situ Nan cheered up. He knew that after surviving the depression of two or three years after the war, he would get better.

"Alright! I'm just feeling emotional. With me, Bethlehem will be fine. Rest assured! Mr. William! Eugene assured over the phone.

"That's good! If you have something, you can go to the RAND Corporation, and it is easier for them to deal with those people in the government. Situ Nan finally reminded Eugene.

After dealing with the Bethlehem Company, Situ Nan couldn't help but call Chrysler in Detroit, after all, the Chrysler Company was able to build a large number of tanks in the war, which was already a history of Zào. If you can make a tank, you won't have a problem making a car!

Situ Nan has full confidence in Chrysler. Although the economy will be depressed after the war, the automobile industry has been booming, so there is no need to worry too much.

"My dear, why is the war won, I think you are busier instead!" Laura looked at Situ Nan's somewhat tired appearance, walked behind Situ Nan's back early, and gently massaged her fingers on Situ Nan's temples.

"Yes! Now is the time to divide the spoils, and there are a lot of intrigues, endlessly. It's good to be busy for a while. Situ Nan sighed, looking at the still moving face, he couldn't help hugging Laura and laughing: "However, in order to support such a beautiful wife as you and our lovely children, it is worth the hard work." ”

The speaker, and his mouth is brought to Laura.

This guy's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter! Laura said with a sigh of disgust. She was a little shy, but she greeted it anyway, and the two of them gnawed on the living room as if no one was around.

In the cradle next to him, a white baby looked at this qiē curiously, probably feeling cold, and cried loudly.

"Oops, Andy is crying!" Laura immediately left Situ Nan and turned to comfort her crying son.

After the good things were disturbed, Situ Nan lost his enthusiasm and looked at the guy who broke into tears and laughed with some resentment. It's not the first time this hasn't happened, and lately this guy has started crying as soon as he sees himself making out with Laura, as if he had snatched his toy, which is funny. Situ Nan shook his head and returned to the study.
