The United States, after completing the electric revolution of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this young country has finally surpassed Britain economically to become the strongest economy in the world, and it will get stronger and stronger. biquge.info New York is the financial and economic center, the largest city, the port and the most populous city in the United States, as well as the largest city in the world, and its every move affects the world all the time. Along with the thriving national power, the great city of New York was the financial center of the world at that time.

Manhattan Island is the core of New York and is the smallest of the five boroughs, at just 57.91 square kilometers. But this small island, which is narrow from east to west and long from north to south, is the financial center of the United States, and many large American companies have their headquarters in Manhattan. The headquarters of the major banks and the major monopolies have a central base here.

It also concentrates the essence of the world's financial, securities, futures and insurance industries. Wall Street, located in the southern part of Manhattan Island, is a symbol of American wealth and economic power, as well as a stronghold of American monopoly capital and a synonym for the financial oligarchy.

This narrow street, which is only 540 meters long, is lined with thousands of financial and foreign trade institutions. The famous New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange are located here.

The myth of wealth plays out on Wall Street every day, and countless active speculators are busy in front of the counters of the New York Stock Exchange.

It is not only the heart of finance, but also a bustling business district, an art and cultural center, Broadway, a national museum, a library, a scientific research institution, and much more.

From Fifth Avenue to Madison Avenue, high-rise buildings and fashionable and luxurious Italian and French brands can be found everywhere.

Back in New York a hundred years ago, although many landmark buildings have not been built in a hundred years, walking here is touching the pulse of the world! A new force is like the rising sun, vigorous and unstoppable, and every move has begun to affect the world.

walked to the front of the New York Stock Exchange, looking at the copper bull in front of him, Situ Nan was silent, old cow, old cow, we meet again, after a hundred years, things are not people. It's a pity that this place doesn't belong to me yet. Situ Nan thought to himself.

He's just an obscure kid who just went through a catastrophe, and he doesn't know where to go next.

Situ Nan still had thousands of dollars in his pocket, enough for him to get through for a while.

"Once" Situ Nan also stayed in New York for a few years, although with good economic talent in his previous life, he believed that if he worked hard here for a few years, he should be able to get a good monetary return, but he had no sense of belonging here, Situ Nan was just a spectator who accidentally broke into a hundred years, a new country, a new world, everything was new to him, and the strangeness or a sense of distance made Situ Nan feel that there was an invisible membrane separated from this world.

Situ Nan spent $10 to see an opera, but he felt a little uneasy, because people in the Internet age are not very interested in today's popular entertainment.

New York is prosperous, with not only beautiful carriages but also fashionable cars on the streets, people with ruddy faces, enjoying the abundant material life brought about by this free country and prosperous commerce.

It was already dark, and the night sky of New York was hazy, as if Situ Nan could not see the direction of his future.

But thanks to Edison's invention of the electric light, he changed the world, at least after humans created light, the way of human nightlife changed and became colorful!

Situ Nan shuttled through the orderly and busy streets, with thousands of windows such as shops, hotels, libraries, etc. on both sides of the street, glowing orange and yellow, and the figures were full of people.

There were also newsboys on the street shouting eye-catching headlines loudly from time to time, and Situ Nan asked for a newspaper, the paper was a little rough, and the smell of ink emitted made Situ Nan a little uncomfortable. In the Internet era, you can know the world's major events without going out, and newspapers are gradually being replaced by the Internet.

Situ Nan browsed a little and found that there was still news of the sinking of the Titanic on it, so he flipped over, he didn't want to mention this tragedy again.

The vicissitudes of history, personnel changes, Situ Nan walked around for two days, some buildings Situ Nan had seen in his previous life, and some had disappeared in his previous life, so he had a vague sense of familiarity with the city.

After a few days in New York, Situ Nan wanted to look elsewhere. If you want to survive the next two, you have to learn more about the local economy, politics, culture, customs, etc., and the school just has the answer that Situ Nan wants to know.

Situ Nan suddenly thought of the two famous schools in Massachusetts, Harvard, and Massachusetts, maybe it's not bad to go and see, it won't be too far, I have always wanted to go to see it in my previous life, but it didn't happen.

"Tick tock" street is full of traffic, sitting on the old tram Situ Nan returned to the hotel, the level of service is not said, but the expensive price makes Situ Nan have some toothache, with his net worth is not enough to enjoy such luxury for too long, maybe tomorrow should go, after two days of wandering around New York, Situ Nan suddenly remembered Jack, he once said that he likes to wake up in the morning and don't know where he will be in the next moment, and what kind of people he will meet, the day before he was still sleeping under the overpass, The next moment may be sitting in a luxurious restaurant. With a healthy body, the young heart always dares not be restrained, and wants to fly in the wider sky.

Like a dream, the Titanic sank in the Atlantic, Mu, Jack, Tommy, Fabry, and Lao Bi all died, and the friends they met on the ship met in Pingshui, and they finally had to go their separate ways, and Situ Nan also had to have his own way to go.

Sitting by the window of the hotel restaurant, Situ Nan looked at the hurried flow of people outside, and didn't even notice a footstep approaching.

"Boy, you look like you're on your mind!" It's a female voice.

Situ Nan pretended to look over and saw Mrs. Brown looking at him with a smile.

"Hi, Jasmine!" After all, they had shared hardships, and Situ Nan greeted Mrs. Brown cordially.

"This is my husband, Handar Brown. This is Mr. Stoney William. Mrs. Brown said, holding the man beside her. This man is not tall, but he is very strong, and his dark skin tells him that he is a guy who often spends time outdoors.

“hello。 Mr. Brown. Nice to meet you. Situ Nan got up to shake hands, feeling that the other party's hand was a little rough, but very powerful.

“hello。 Mr William, Jasmine told me about the Titanic, and she said you were a great lad. Handar Brown laughs.

"Just call me Stoney, that's what my friends call me." Situ Nan said, "Do you want coffee or wine?" Situ Nan asked the Browns to do it, and the three of them chatted.

When she started talking about the Titanic, Mrs. Brown still had lingering palpitations and felt very sad. In the past few days, the news has come out, and less than 800 of the 2,200 passengers on board have escaped, which is a great tragedy. But in his heart, Situ Nan was still relieved that he could save hundreds of people.

"It's going to be a nightmare, but it's over, and it's going to get better." Handar Brown comforts his wife.

After coming to New York for good business this time, he received his wife, and in a few days he returned to the West. There he opened a gold mine, and after he became prosperous, he bought a house in Los Angeles and settled down.

"By the way, Stoney, are you quitting the crew now?" Molly asked.

"No, I don't do that anymore, that reminds me of something bad. You know. Situ Nan said.

"Do you have any plans for now?" Molly thought that Situ Nan got paid to be a crew member and then squandered it here, and the United States is like this, especially young people, who spend as much as they want.

Molly has a crush on Situ Nan, and if she can, she arranges for Situ Nan to go west, where there is their couple's property.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'd like to take a look at Aishang's Novel Network." Situ Nan said.

"Oh, it's a good thing that young people are motivated. If you're going west, you can come to me in Los Angeles. We're going back tomorrow. Jasmine said.

"Thank you for the coffee, here's my business card with the address and phone number on it." At parting, Handar gave Situ Nan a name.

Western Mining Company? Situ Nan read the words above and said, thinking of the legendary vast west, the endless wilderness, herds of cattle and sheep, wild western cowboys, peculiar Indian customs, and the vigorous gold rush, Situ Nan couldn't help but yearn for it.

After seeing off the enthusiastic couple, Situ Nan returned to his room. There is no TV at night, no Internet, few electrical appliances, fortunately there are bright lights, after closing the doors and windows, Situ Nan took out the diamond necklace from his arms, the heart of the ocean shone with a blurry luster under the light, the blue light contains a blue memory, Titanic, that is a sad past.

Memories aside, the diamond is a priceless treasure, legend has it that Louis XVI gave it to Queen Marie, disappeared during the French Revolution, and was later purchased by the Sultan of Turkey for a whopping $400,000, and then fell into the hands of the rich boy Hawke, who was a gift for his engagement. It's a pity that a sudden disaster interrupted his dream, and he lost not only the woman, but also the diamond, and both people and money.

In the face of treasures, who is not tempted? Situ Nan's eyes were also a little hot, but now this thing can't be taken out, thinking of this, Situ Nan put it away with a small wing.

The sinking of the Titanic shocked the world, and the excitement would continue for some time, but no one would have noticed that after a short stay in New York, an inconspicuous crew member of the White Star Company left and quietly arrived in Cambridge near Boston, where the famous Harvard EshangFiction Network and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are located.
