Volume IV Boom 3 Tranquil Hawaii, Exploding Wall Street

Situ Nan spent five days on Oahu, focusing on Waikiki Beach, and in addition to water sports, he took the entire beach to the side when he had time.

The blue sea and blue sky in the distance, the white clouds, the coconut groves nearby, the golden white sand, and the surging white waves make people feel infinitely relaxed and happy, and everyone who comes here will be overwhelmed by its beauty.

Although there are still all kinds of hotels, sanatoriums, restaurants, shopping malls and other facilities behind it, Szeto Nanfa thinks that even if Waikiki Beach does not reach the sky-high annual revenue of $5 billion in 30 years, he will definitely multiply the investment by a hundredfold. Of course, the construction of related supporting facilities must also continue to invest in construction.

George? Carter was so excited about the deal that the Honolulu government sold the entire mile of Waikiki Beach and the 200-meter stretch from the beach to businessman Mike for $300,000. Brown.

It's an extremely large piece of land, covering almost the entire Waikiki Beach, and the state government is very satisfied that a piece of unproductive sandy beach can sell for $300,000. Carter was highly praised and considered a very capable governor. Because, he can pull in investment.

In addition to Waikiki Beach on Oahu, there are 6 other large islands in Hawaii, and Situ Nan has the impression that Maui is also good, known as the most beautiful island, so he also bought 100 hectares of seaside land in Maui. Although Maui does not have a beach like Waikiki, the grass is green and blue, which is perfect for private party vacations, and is the most suitable for clubhouses and resorts. In previous lives, there were countless tourists who went where to play golf.

In addition to the seven major islands, Hawaii is home to countless small islands, coral reefs, and pearls that fall like pearls across the Pacific Ocean. It is not suitable for large-scale tourism development, but it is a good place for private vacation. Especially for the wealthy who pursue quiet, a paradise on the sea is exactly what they dream of.

In the end, Situ Nan bought most of the beautiful beach land on the seven major islands of the Hawaiian archipelago, including Hawaii Island, Maui Island, and Molokai Island, for $200,000, as well as the best island for 30 people among the more than 130 uninhabited islands in Hawaii.

After discussing with Mike, Situ Nan decided to assign Waikiki Beach to the name of their partnership company, Hawaii Surf Company, with Situ Nan holding 87% of the shares. Brown owns 10 percent, and the remaining 3 percent goes to Governor George Brown, who has been instrumental in his efforts. Carter.

The rest of the rest was the William Real Estate Company to which Situ Nan had transferred, including a delicate island that Situ Nan named Laura's Island. William Real Estate Company was registered in Nevada, the western desert of the United States, with a registered capital of 100,000, but it has assets of more than 10 million, most of which are land used by Situ Nan for family territory.

Nevada has the most lax financial regulations, and William Real Estate owns a 300,000-hectare desert in Nevada. Laura runs an obscure family company, and she begins to understand that Situ Nan buys the following land everywhere that is not used at all, deserts, isolated islands, mountains, and even the planned North and South Poles!

With the development of Situ Nan's business, the family's land and properties around the world have become more and more large, from the East Coast to the West Coast of the United States, from the United States to Europe, to the South Seas, China, from the Rocky Mountains to the African savannah, to the beautiful and moving Hawaii, the best places in the world have the imprint of William's real estate. These real estate properties alone are enough for the descendants of the William family to have food and clothing for several lifetimes.

Since William's real estate has been in and out so far, and there are no too complicated finances, Laura can also take care of two financial accountants from the William Foundation.

Situ Nan's generosity made George? Carter was secretly surprised. In addition to building villas on Waikiki Beach, Stuart, who had a lot of money and had nowhere to go, was also planning to build wooden bridges over the sea to connect some desert islands.

Is this George? Governor Carter heard this from Stuart Nan on the William. This makes Mike, who has nothing to do in Hawaii but surfing, a relaxed body? Brown had an extra job, and he was given this extravagant design to an architectural firm in Los Angeles, and he handed over the project to a contracting company under the American Chinese Company, well, the engineering company hired a large number of Chinese workers, who were building roads, bridges, and high-rise buildings in the United States, and they were hard-working, and they didn't have to work as an Irish drunkard.

After Stuart Nan left, Mike continued to have quiet fun on the island, and when he had time, he would also watch the construction work on Waikiki Beach or Laura Island.

On board the William, in order to celebrate the "beautiful Hawaii", Situ Nan held a small party and specially invited George? Carter. Now Situ Nan and George? Carter had a lot to do with it, and Stuart warmly called Mr. George, the governor.

"George, thank you so much this time." Situ Nan saluted George? Carter a cup. Thanks to this guy, before the William sailed to the United States, there was another thick stack of title deeds in the safe!

"Cheers! For the sake of friendship! "George? Carter touched Situ Nan's cup with amusement. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, Situ Nan is generous and hearty and arrogant to George? Carter was so impressed that he decided that Situ Nan might be his nobleman, so he tried his best to curry favor with the rich young man and show his strength in this deal. He himself made a lot of money, and sold a piece of rotten land to the Hawaiian Surf Company for a high price.

Hawaii is more than 3,000 kilometers away from San Francisco, and American capital controls Hawaii's economy, so Hawaii is inseparable from the United States. Stuart South and George? Carter's chat naturally touched the continental United States.

Hawaii, as a quasi-state in the United States, has one vote in the Senate, (officially the state has two votes,) but has never been the focus of American politics. Carter, for his part, would prefer to be back home, even better if he could be a state legislature. For Situ Nan, a rich man, he naturally had to serve him carefully, and took Situ Nan to carefully visit the scenery of Hawaii.

Situ Nan seems to be aware of this George? Carter wants to slap himself up, what does he do to George? Carter has a good impression, a shrewd and ambitious politician, this is Situ Nan's assessment.

"What does Mr. Carter think about the Red Terror on home?" Situ Nan asked. The so-called Red Terror was a series of terrorist riots caused by the labor conflicts between workers, labor unions and capitalists in the American industry after the end of World War I.

During the war, the treatment of workers was greatly improved, and after the war, they tried to stabilize and expand the treatment and welfare of workers, while the capitalists wanted to get rid of the concessions of wartime, so there was a series of strikes, and in 1919 alone, 4 million people in the United States launched 3,600 strikes!

The scope of the strike has affected all walks of life, the Seattle shipyard strike is supported by the city's trade unions, and as a result, Seattle has gone on strike for the entire city of workers, the Boston police strike, and the 350,000 workers of the U.S. Steel Company have gone on strike. Many radicals or terrorists carried out violent acts such as smashing and looting, and for a while, the people of the Americans were panicked, and almost all the capitalists and politicians believed that the Russian Revolution was about to be staged in the United States.

By 1920, the Red Terror had intensified, and many industry leaders had been attacked. After the founding of the United States, it was going through a severe test after the Civil War.

"They incite riots, they do all kinds of evil, they are greedy and brutal?????" George? Carter gritted his teeth. Well, it's clear that this is a guy who is on the side of the big capitalists, a useful politician!

Situ Nan smiled, the companies under the William Consortium were not less affected by the strike, but fortunately, he made corresponding arrangements before leaving the United States, so the losses were minimized. However, in the past two years, the United States has really not been suitable for investment, and workers have not been able to work, and they are bent on high wages to cope with rising prices. In the economic downturn, the capitalists are looking for ways to reduce costs. Out of sight and out of mind, Situ Nanning is willing to hide in Shanghai rather than return to the chaotic United States.

"Hmm. I also think that those ** people are not good things, and the American workers are all badly taught by the Russians. If given the opportunity, would Mr. Carter be willing to contribute to the restoration of national freedom in the United States? ”

"What does Mr. William mean?" George? Carter's heart jumped, there was no strike in Hawaii, but it was too idle, if it could be local??????

"Look at this, the horrific Wall Street bombing!" Holding a copy of the Wall Street Journal, a newspaper from two weeks ago, Situ Nan said, "I heard about it when I was sailing in the Pacific, but I didn't expect it to be so strict!" It's appalling! ”

"Yes! I was also shocked at the time, and I couldn't believe that in the United States, a free nation, on the bustling streets of New York, there were such desperate people who caused such a tragedy. "George? Carter stood up with some excitement and strongly condemned the atrocity!

"The ** has declared war on us, so we must not back down, or the liberal system of the United States will collapse! The government will act and arrest all those lawless guys and hang them! ”

Situ Nan nodded, and said in his heart: "Morgan was teased three times and twice, either assassinated or exploded, not to mention him, even he was tired of those endless strikes." Damn American workers, always dissatisfied, let them see how Japanese and Chinese workers work, you can see how happy they are. ”

Although he knew that those American workers would be transformed into a huge middle class, and the big capital in the United States would get more profits, but seeing that the development of his factories in the past two years was not very good, Situ Nan had no good impression of American workers, although he was also a good wage earner in his previous life.

The Wall Street bombing is an event of historical significance in the history of the United States, and the sensation it caused completely exceeds that of the sinking of the Titanic ship eight years ago and the declaration of war by the United States against Germany three years ago, because it means that the United States will no longer be safe, and the social contradictions have escalated sharply, and it has reached the height of the crisis of the American social system.

It all starts here:

At 12:01 p.m. on September 16, 1920, during a busy lunch hour on Wall Street, a horse-drawn carriage pulled up in the busiest corner of Manhattan's financial district, across from J.P. Morgan's headquarters at 23 Wall Street. Later, a full load of 100 pounds of nitroglycerin explosives was detonated by a timer, and a 500-pound cast-iron hammer shattered the horse and wagon under the effects of the explosion, killing 38 people and seriously injuring 143 on the spot. Most of the victims were young people who worked as messengers, stenographers, clerks, brokers, etc.

This caused the New York Stock Exchange to close down that day. At 3:30 p.m., the Board of Governors of the New York Stock Exchange met and decided to open for business the next day, and the next day, the American Revolutionary Children's Association had organized a patriotic rally to celebrate Constitution Day at the site of the explosion. The explosion caused more than $2 million in property damage, and the interior of the Morgan building was also damaged.

Situ Nan remembered such a bombing, but he forgot the specific time, fortunately Robles Securities was not attacked, and William Financial, which is across the street from 23 Wall Street, was also unharmed, except for a few hapless traders who happened to be killed when Morgan & Co. was closing business, Situ Nan's financial company on Wall Street did no damage.

However, because the Wall Street bombing was an abnormal closure of the United States after the World War in 1914, a large amount of European capital was withdrawn from the New York stock market, which caused the closure of the US stock market, which seriously dampened the confidence of investors, and the losses caused were incalculable, at least on the books, Situ Nan had already lost millions of dollars.

Quick knife to cut through the mess, Situ Nan is tired of the bad and turbulent situation in the United States, and his return this time is also a bit of a taste of cleaning up the mountains and rivers. A big explosion on Wall Street ignited the great dissatisfaction of the US ruling class and ordinary people with the current state of social unrest caused by the strikes, and it was certainly followed by a merciless crackdown on trade union leaders, leaders and anarchists.

In particular, all the public opinion newspapers are now accusing the Soviet Union of plotting behind the scenes, and the leading people in the United States are inciting riots and causing explosions in retaliation for the United States' interference in the Russian Revolution in Murmansk, Vladivostok, and other places. Now the leaders who used to be so aggressive in the strike are in trouble because all the sewage will be poured on them.

Situ Nan felt that it was necessary to cultivate some promising politicians in this political incident, and by the way, to bring some private goods and clean up the racists in the United States. Because these people usually appear as union leaders, but in fact form gangs and make a living by oppressing other races and ordinary people.

The Chinese generally do not get together with the reckless Irish or Anglo-Saxons, although with the emergence of the Zhi Gong Party and the American Chinese Company, Chinatown has been much more united, and many blatant racial elements have been sent to prison by the American Chinese Company and the Zhi Gong Party.

There are a lot of Italians in California, and they are just like the Chinese, they are angry bags, and poor Italians can only be mafia except farmers. Maybe with Armani? Giannini to talk about?

Thinking of this, Situ Nan smiled slightly.

“？？？？？？ Mr. William? "George? Carter was about to say something, but found that Situ Nan on the side was distracted, and called twice before coming back to his senses.

"George, I think you should put a bill in Congress to crack down on the anarchists and the rioters who caused this tragedy. Trust that sensible people will support you. I think you should be able to get into the Judicial Council so that you can better serve the United States. I know some people and I can recommend you if you have the heart. Situ Nan smiled at George? Carter Road.

"Thank you so much." George? Carter looked at Situ Nan in surprise, faintly grateful. He wanted to go back to his homeland instead of always staying in Hawaii, where there was always sugar cane, sea water, and blue sky.

Anyway, the term of office is almost over, so why not take this opportunity to go back to your home country? It would be great if he could get into the Judicial Council.

George? Carter spent the night aboard the William, and the next day he rushed back to the state government in a state rage, offering to crack down on violent attacks and suppress the union leaders who had rioted, and the leaders of the seizures had become anarchists.

At the same time, thanks to his efforts, the Hawaii State Assembly also submitted a bill to Congress, calling for the implementation of a "war" against the ** throughout the country.

In order to cope with the situation, the Hawaiian police arrested a group of criminals with great efficiency, such as some arrogant Japanese immigrants, who carried knives and swaggered through the market.

"Strongly reversed the law and order in Hawaii, maintained the local social system, and guaranteed the ?????? of freedom and democracy"

This is the New York Times report on the fight against terrorism in Hawaii, which immediately caused a sensation, and the Wall Street Journal, the San Francisco Daily News, and the Los Angeles Times also reprinted it, attracting everyone's attention for a while.

People may not care about the facts, but the words **, terror, incitement, riot, repression, etc., which appear in the newspapers, beat their sensitive nerves.

Could it be that even the social order in the overseas quasi-states has reached a grim situation? Many people will have this question in their hearts after reading the newspaper.

George? Carter's name gradually became known. Some people wonder in their hearts, the local bombing and the Red Terror actually have nothing to do with Hawaii, thousands of miles away, how did this suddenly appear George? Carter jumped out?

But George? Carter spoke up to the crowd. Since the bombing, the industrial and financial circles have expressed strong dissatisfaction. Now that the major bosses have spoken, they can't go on any longer.

"While New York was still investigating the bombing, the state of Hawaii, thousands of miles away, took decisive action. Their actions are forceful and forceful in guaranteeing the rights and freedoms of citizens. And we big men are still sitting here analyzing who caused this terrorist bombing, which is a waste of time and irresponsible to the voters! ”

Senator Paul from Texas at a congressional hearing in Washington, D.C. Wilson praised the decisive measures of the state of Hawaii, strongly criticized the inefficiency of the government and police, and demanded that the states take immediate and decisive measures to declare war on the enemy!

President Woodrow on this matter? Wilson had been paralyzed from a stroke shortly after returning from Europe, and was completely out of service, and the secretary of state had already been dealt with by the ministers.

It is now the election in the United States, and the social turmoil is in turmoil, and although the American system guarantees the smooth operation of the government, it is no longer able to deal with the bombing quickly and effectively, and has dealt with the increasingly severe social contradictions.
