Volume IV Boom 7 Citi, 5%

In the next few days, thinking about the City Bank of New York, Situ Nan canceled his trip and stayed in his room waiting for a call from New York

"The boss, I've been in touch with the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, and they're willing to provide legal aid and say they're going to mobilize lawmakers and officials." Thomas laughed. "And the Italians are willing to align themselves with us."

"Hmm. Go ahead with the plan! Situ Nan replied and told Thomas to retreat.

After a while. "Suzu—"

Situ Nan hurriedly lifted the phone, and Robles's familiar voice came.

"How?" Situ Nan asked.

"I just met Jacob, and his body is dead, completely broken." Robles sighed, as if lamented by the end of a generation of Wall Street figures.

"Hmm—what else?" Situ Nan asked patiently.

"He agreed to give up no more than 5 percent of the shares of the City Bank of New York, but on one condition, he needed to exchange the shares of the oil companies, along with a promise from you." Robles Road.

"It's only 5%?" Although the 5% stake is worth $50 million, which is a lot of money, Situ Nan is still a little disappointed.

"Not a lot. Now most of the shares are in the hands of Rockefeller, he alone owns 30%, Morgan owns 10%, Jacob? Schiff accounted for one and a half percent. 5% is just right for us to come, not to threaten them, and at the same time to secure our position. You know, whether it's Rockefeller or Morgan, they want to have the City Bank of New York to themselves. ”

Robles persuaded.

"Okay!" Situ Nan understood in his heart, and asked again, "How big is his appetite?" ”

"10 percent — but I was persuaded to go down to 8 percent."

At this point, Robles was silent for a while. He knew that the oil company was the lifeblood of Situ Nan, and Robles knew better than most people about Situ Nan's ability to "find oil" that Occidental Petroleum was definitely a company that was seriously underestimated, and its potential was no less than that of Mobil Oil.

8% Occidental Petroleum for 5% New York City Bank is fair, but after Situ Nan has Wells Fargo and Robles Securities, the demand for New York City Bank is not too urgent, it depends on his mind.

"Do you accept money transactions?" Situ Nan asked.

"Nope! The other side insists on this. Robles replied in the affirmative.

"What do you mean?" Stuart asked Robles for advice.

"Let's change! Unless you don't need to let the oil companies go public, these Jews will still be useful, and we won't suffer. Robles said.

"Good!"

Situ Nan thought for a moment and thought that Robles's words made sense, especially the Jews still had some use.

"What promise does he want from me?"

"An opportunity to be kind to Jews." Robles Road. "He seemed to know something, and he seemed to be worried."

"Are there any specific requirements?" Situ Nan had some questions, and said in his heart: Could it be Jacob? Can Schiff foresee the future? Knowing that Jews are too talented financially to be cursed?

However, judging from the general anti-Semitism in the United States and Europe, it is normal for him to be a little worried, and maybe people can really foresee some kind of bad omen before they die!

"If there's no problem, it's going to be decided!" South Szeto Road. Putting down the phone, he informed William Financial Holdings in New York that they would accept a 5 percent stake in the City Bank of New York.

After completing a good deal, Situ Nan smiled slightly, "What a Jew, and he earned a promise from me when he died." However, I really didn't expect that I would have such weight in his mind. Maybe he makes a similar request to everyone who trades? ”

Situ Nan thought gossipingly. At this time, he held a 59.8% stake in Occidental Petroleum Corporation.

Putting down the phone, he went to the headquarters of Wells Fargo on Financial Street in the San Francisco Bay Area. As soon as you enter the door, you will be dennis? Fargo enthusiastically led in.

Although the bank was busy, Situ Nan felt a vigilant and cautious atmosphere as soon as he entered.

"There's a bit of tension here!" Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Hmm." Dennis? Fargo nodded, "Due to the Wall Street bombing in New York, we had to increase the containment measures. ”

Coming in the door, Situ Nan casually did it, crossed his legs, and looked at Dennis? Fargo. In the past two years, Situ Nan has hardly intervened in banking affairs, but Wells Fargo has continued to follow the strategy he set before leaving, and not only has not been affected by the economic depression, but has also developed further. Stuart South vs. Dennis? Fargo's table xiàn is very satisfied.

"Are you ready?" Situ Nan asked.

"What?" Dennis? Fargo looked at Situ Nan with some confusion.

"A good time is coming." Situ Nan smiled slightly, "Although there is still some chaos, it will be over soon." We have accumulated a lot of money during the war, and at the same time we have gained the world market, and soon American goods will flood the world.

Now back to the era of peace, an era of commercial prosperity is about to unfold before us, and this is the best of times. Don't you think Wells Fargo is going to do something? ”

"Aren't we all doing that? Ports, urban transport, trade, steel, oil, have we always been investing in them? "Dennis? Fargo smiled slightly, "But I'd like to hear your opinion." ”

"I know." Situ Nan nodded, and said, "But it's not specific enough!" The three major industries I am optimistic about in the future: automobiles, construction, and electrical.

Look no further than Ford! Previously it was said that Rockefeller should rule the United States, and now there are people who believe that Ford is about to replace Rockefeller.

Listen, with millions of cars a year, you know how much potential this industry has. Every family needs a car, not to squeeze a bulky train.

The automobile industry is about to surpass steel and railroad to grow into the largest manufacturing industry and the largest industrial sector in the United States, and the development of the automobile industry has promoted the development of a series of industrial sectors such as steel, petroleum, chemical industry, and highway construction???? ”

"But San Francisco doesn't have cars, do you want me to Detroit?" Dennis Fargo smiled.

"Why not?"

Situ Nan white Dennis? Fargo said at a glance, knowing that the other party was asking on purpose, and continued, "I have some plans to increase investment in Cummins, Chrysler and other companies, which requires the cooperation of Wells Fargo."

Of course, for San Francisco, I think the port and shipbuilding also have a lot of potential, and we need to invest more in this area. However, the most potential is in the construction industry. Although San Francisco has recovered after the devastating earthquake more than a decade ago, there is still a lot of room for the city to grow.

Especially during the war, the construction industry stagnated, and now Americans want to live in spacious and beautiful houses, and the construction industry will explode in the future. In addition, in order to make the car run fast and facilitate transportation, the city needs to build a large number of roads, so construction machinery, building materials and other industries will usher in a good opportunity for development.

As for electricity, it goes without saying. I'm sure you have a lot of plans, but I'd like to share with you my predictions for the upcoming Second Industrial Revolution. ”

"The Second Industrial Revolution?" Dennis? Fargo's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay! After listening to your passionate arguments, I know what to do! Rest assured! For the loans of the consortium enterprises, Wells Fargo will definitely not hold back! ”

In addition to being the second largest shareholder of Wells Fargo, the Fargo family has many other industries, and Dennis was intrigued by Stuart's words, thinking that San Francisco was a mountain town, rich in limestone, and rich in energy, and if it invested in a cement plant, it would definitely have a good income.

He told him about the idea, and he readily agreed, and the two invested $2 million to build California's largest cement plant in San Francisco, with a half-stake in each company, as well as other building materials businesses.

Stuart South and Dennis? After discussing the future strategic investment direction of Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo visited the Pacific Stock Exchange.

Although it is not as prosperous as Wall Street, the Pacific Stock Exchange, as the largest stock exchange on the West Coast of the United States, will definitely develop in the future and become the main source of financing for small and medium-sized enterprises in the west.

Looking at the flow of people coming in and out, he felt that Wells Fargo could be more bold.

"Now the strategy of rich countries has to make some changes, we must not only be a commercial bank, but also set up a securities investment department." Situ Nan instructed.

"Hmm." Dennis nodded. After discussing with each other, they decided to establish Wells Fargo Financial Investment Company, which specializes in financial securities business, and merged Wells Fargo Financial Investment Company and Wells Fargo Bank into Wells Fargo Group??????

Hollywood, Los Angeles.

Two years after Situ Nan and the others left, Hollywood was a lot more lively. More and more studios are opening, more and more people are getting involved in the film industry, and something new is happening almost every day.

But this has nothing to do with Situ Nan. He only glanced at the Sunset Boulevard he passed, but he was relieved that there was a straight, wide two-lane road that led straight to Beverly Hills.

In the two years since he left, despite the strike outside, the Hollywood Development Company has not made much trouble, and the conscientious Chinese construction workers have not only built Hollywood's vast infrastructure, but also built Beverly Hills like a beautiful garden, neat, clean, Victorian, Gothic, modernist?????? Mansions of various styles are constantly presented in front of Situ Nan along the road.

"Wow! It's so lively at the bottom of the mountain! It's so beautiful. Laura looked at the scenery outside the window and sighed, turned around, looked at Situ Nan who was smiling on the side, and felt some emotion in her heart: Two years have passed, and Andy, who was still in infancy, will now run.

"Home, home, home??????" Little Andy said with a milky voice, waving excitedly out the car window. Situ Nan and Laura smiled when they met, and there was a warm feeling in their hearts.

Under the envious eyes of passers-by, the car drove away and headed straight for the top of Beverly Mountain. It was a private estate, and from the Beverly Hills up was the domain of the William family, and it was also the home of Hollywood's legendary hidden rich.

A thin white old man was waiting at the door, and when he saw the car stop, and Little Andy's cute figure got out of the car, he couldn't wait to come forward and hug Little Andy.

Little Andy immediately shrank into the car, a little curious, a little afraid of the sudden appearance of the old man.

"Damn it, don't you remember your grandfather? Know how much I hurt you? "Andrew? Mellon straightened his face and looked at the little Andy with round eyes a little angrily.

"Huh. Andy, that's grandpa, it's called grandpa! Situ Nan said with a smile. Put little Andy in Andrew's arms.

"Sorry for the delay in San Francisco." Situ Nan said apologetically to Andrew.

"Hmm." Andrew replied casually, ignoring Situ Nan, turned his head to look at Laura, nodded with satisfaction, and walked straight into the door with little Andy in his arms.

This old man is a little dissatisfied with my "running away from home"!

Situ Nan smiled and touched his chin. See brother-in-law Paul? Mellon stood aside and snickered, and Situ Nan went up to give him a hug. "Hey! Paul, I'm sorry you helped me look after the house. ”

"I'd love to. It's a beautiful place with a daily plane ride, horseback riding, and passionate Hollywood girls, which is amazing. Paul laughed. Looking at your proud spring breeze, it seems that this trip around the world is really good! ”

Uh, this guy is still a mouthful, hasn't changed at all! "I'll tell you later, there's something fun." Situ Nan picked up Laura and walked into the house.

As soon as Situ Nan entered, he heard Andrew's angry and angry voice, looking a little wolf, and his hair, face, and chest were all wet. And little Andy was giggling.

"Oops, you little bastard! You dare to tease me if you learn badly? ”

Situ Nan and his wife couldn't help laughing, it turned out that their son had spilled all the urine he had been holding all the way on Andrew's body.

Situ Nan hurriedly beckoned the servant to come over and took Andrew to change clothes. "I'm not done with you!" Andrew glared at little Andy with a smirked look, then turned to a chrysanthemum-like old face and smiled again.

"What a naughty guy!" Situ Nan shook his head and pinched little Andy's face.

After tidying up, Andrew came out in good spirits. The family gathered in the living room to listen to Mr. and Mrs. Situ Nan tell about their trip. When it comes to surfing in Hawaii, Paul's eyes are obviously bright, and after sneaking a look at Andrew next to him, he immediately sits down honestly again.

Andrew is more interested in Shanghai. "Listen, it's really like New York?"

"A certain kind of Cheng dù said so, but it was only concentrated in a small part of the foreign concession. The Chinese government is still relatively backward. Situ Nandao, and then introduced the situation in Shanghai to Andrew.

"Listen to you, the investment environment there is not bad?" Andrew asked with a smile.

Seeing that the two sons-in-law began to discuss business, Laura and brother didn't dare to be interested, so they left with little Andy in a funny way.

"It's ok. Under the banner of open doors, American businessmen have access to a lot of markets. The industry there is very backward, and they all need the products produced in the United States. But the best thing to sell is arms and oil. ”

Situ Nan sighed, "The situation there is a bit complicated, the British, the French, the Japanese, and the Americans have their own forces, and the warlords often fight with each other, and there are endless intrigues and deceits. ”

Andrew nodded. "I heard that your people have carved out a rich place there?" He looked at Situ Nan with blazing eyes.

"How do you care about this?" Situ Nan didn't deny it, just looked at Andrew a little strangely, Andrew knew something about the Zhi Gong Party, but never asked.

"Not for the oil companies yet? Don't forget that the Gulf Oil Company has a lot of business in Sumatra, you kid keeps stuffing people into it, and tens of thousands of Chinese workers have run to the oil company, can I not care? ”

Andrew smiled and glanced meaningfully at Situ Nan, who was talking about the Chinese workers who had gone around the oil company and then where they had been assigned, and then a new batch of workers came in. Most of them are engaged in the construction of the project, so the frequent personnel changes do not affect the production of the oilfield.

"When are you ready, remember to let me know, I've been tied up on the thief ship by you kid now!"

"Hmm??????? Good! ”

Situ Nan nodded.

I heard Andrew say again: "In the Pacific, Britain and Japan are allies, although they may not renew the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, but after all, the United States is at a disadvantage, and the Philippines is not safe, in case the Philippines is dragged into the war, it will be too cost-effective."

What do you do? As long as it does not affect the Philippines, even if the White House knows some rumors and guarantees the interests of the United States in Sumatra, it will not pay too much attention to it, but will be happy to see the troubles of the Dutch and the British.

Now that Wall Street is at odds with London, a power leaning toward the United States is more acceptable than the Dutch. ”

"Hmm." After Situ Nan raised it, he glanced at Andrew, who had a calm face, and didn't see any expression, but his words were a great encouragement to Situ Nan. Although these thoughts have also appeared in Situ Nan's mind many times, it naturally feels much heavier to be able to say them from a weighty person like Andrew.

"Don't worry! I guarantee that neither Occidental Petroleum, nor Gulf Oil, nor Mobil will not suffer, but will also benefit from the larger oil benefits.

In addition to oil, other fields will be open to the United States, and you must know how huge the need for technology and equipment funds is for a newly born country to industrialize, and a large number of orders will fall into the hands of American companies. ”

Situ Nan assured. looked at Andrew with a determined face. He planned to invest part of the resources of the William Consortium in Nanyang in the future, and in fact sell part of the industry in exchange for the industrialization of Nanyang. This will benefit other consortia.

"Is it any wonder that he was willing to make a deal with you before he died? It turns out that you are all the same kind of people. But it looks like you're stronger than him and much luckier. Andrew glanced at Situ Nan deeply.
