153 thought of the Shaw Building

A few days ago, it was reported that a German submarine was at one point close to the port of New York and had secretly killed two unlucky merchant ships. This caused a panic for a while.

But with the current technology, German submarines had crossed the Atlantic to the Americas, and in the face of the swarming American destroyers, they did not pose a real threat at all, so the public panic was quickly quelled.

Although it has been almost a month since the United States declared its entry into the war, and all preparations are proceeding in an orderly manner, the war in Europe does not seem to have affected the lives of most people in the United States.

It is worth mentioning that shortly after the United States declared war on Germany, Mexico, the other protagonist of the Zimmermann telegram incident, finally belatedly announced its rejection of the "good intentions" of the Germans.

He looked a little nervous, but just now after Pershing led thousands of American soldiers across the border to suppress the guerrillas on the U.S.-Mexico border, the Americans didn't bother to deal with this unlucky boy in Mexico, and the war in Europe was still important.

"America is America in the United States".

It has to be said that the Americans are in a unique and good place, and after fighting invincible opponents in the Americas, the Americans are now participating in the war in Europe.

On April 25, 1917, the Wilhelm was quietly leaning against the busy harbor of New York, looking a little deserted.

Situ Nan did not stay on the ship, but sat in a luxury hotel in New York. New York's most luxurious hotel has been occupied, the entrance and lobby have been renovated, and the staff is nervously and busy setting up the venue for a small but grand engagement to take place.

Today's day is a bit special, it is the day of Situ Nan and Laura's engagement. At such a solemn moment, our male protagonist was discussing business with Robles in the room at the moment, and he did not look like a nervous first brother at all.

"Stoney, I have to say that you got your hands again this time, Nick? Young informed me two days ago that the Treasury had agreed to the deal we had proposed, requiring the first tranche of $50 million in freedom bonds to be completed within three months.

The $50 million Freedom Bond, whether we hold it ourselves or sell it to others, is a big business that is sure to make a profit."

Robles swallowed the red wine, his face slightly reddened, and he looked a little proud.

Although it was not easy to digest this business, after trading with the British in US Treasury bonds and the free bond transaction that had just been passed through guò, Robles tasted the sweetness of doing business with the government, no wonder J'P Morgan & Co. never did business with ordinary people, and the vanity of using money to manipulate national affairs was not something that ordinary people could experience.

"Huh. Nick? It's no wonder that they are in a hurry after all, and it is certain that they will spend money like water in the war, and it is certain that they will borrow heavily with the financial resources of the federal government. Didn't they also make a deal with Morgan and Citi? ”

South Szeto Road.

The Robles Bond Company bought $50 million in free bonds, which made a breakthrough in the work of the Treasury Bureau, and at the same time, Morgan and other Wall Street financial giants also caused some loosening, and finally both sides took a step back and divided the remaining 300 million or so free bonds at the same discount. This also includes Stuart's cheap father-in-law, Andrew's Mellon National Bank.

"I didn't get any more meat, but it was good to get a bone with meat. Just add a touch of color to today's engagement. Robles quipped, "By the way, haven't given a gift yet?" Haha"

"Didn't you say I almost forgot? Now that you kid is also fat, I'm sorry for the American people if I don't slaughter you. So, sign a check for $500,000 and donate it to my founding committee, and then I'll put up a monument to sing my praises. Situ Nan smiled generously.

He was ready to turn the engagement into a charitable donation for the establishment of his university, and he had Laura's support.

"Why don't you go grab it?" Robles was a little annoyed that Situ Nan, this guy opened his mouth wide, and the $500,000 monument seemed to be a loss-making business. Although it is a charity education, donating to Situ Nan makes Robles a little tight.

"How about naming the business school after you, Robles Law School? You know, if I add a William in front of the university, I'm going to spend tens of millions of dollars, and you can take the name of the law school for $500,000, it's worth it, right? ”

Situ Nan said. In order to raise more money, he took out the naming rights of the various colleges of William University in the future and sold them, hehe.

"Law school? No, I'm a businessman and I don't study law, wouldn't it be a joke to have Robles Law School? I want Robles Business School," Robles was a little tempted.

"Oh, I remember, you are also surnamed Mellon, ah, I have sold the naming rights of the business school to Andrew? Mellon, you're late, and now there are still a large number of law schools, petroleum schools, engineering schools, liberal arts colleges, art colleges, medical schools, etc., which have not yet been named, you can choose one," Situ Nan explained triumphantly.

"Needless to say, the College of Engineering, are you going to sell the naming rights to Charles? Schwab or Eugene? Fuggy de Grace, the Petroleum Institute is Hantec? Brown or Bot? Laustes them? Robles said in a light tone.

"yes, that's exactly what you mean, how don't you know? It's really a good partner for me, haha."

Situ Nan deliberately ignored Robles's sarcastic tone and smiled a little exaggeratedly. It's a bit of a spoof, but what's so bad about satisfying the vanity of the rich to raise more money?

He calculated that if 10 colleges were established, he would be able to sell 10 naming rights, and with his own relationship, it was estimated that all of them would be sold (or half sold and half given away) for 180,000 US dollars each, which would almost receive more than 1 million US dollars.

Coupled with his own face, those guys have made so much money with him, and it is not too difficult to spit it out, so he should do good deeds and report to the society.

Especially a gentleman like Robles, he can't let it go, and if he doesn't sell it to four or five hundred thousand dollars, Situ Nan is embarrassed to come out and mix.

It's not a question of more money and less money, but rather a question of cultivating their love and charity. It's well-intentioned.

"You're amazing" Robles pointed at Situ Nan, a little angry, a little funny, a little admired, and looked at each other for a few seconds before putting it down dejectedly.

He thought Situ Nan was joking just now, it turned out that Situ Nan was actually thinking about such a business. What nonsense

But just after saying that, half a foot stepped into Situ Nan's thief ship, and Robles couldn't regret it, "Forget about the law school, leave a letter school for me, in honor of my mother Chrissy?" Mellon. ”

Speaking of his mother, Robles was a little discouraged.

Situ Nan also sighed and didn't say anything. is also a fallen person, except for friends, there are no relatives, so they are so speculative.

almost robbed 500,000 US dollars from Robles, Situ Nan was a little proud, and a little dull was immediately "driven away" by the 500,000 US dollars.

What else can be sold other than the naming rights of the college? Situ Nan thought to himself.

"Yes," Situ Nan suddenly said happily, "He's the best of me, I'm a genius?" Why didn't you think about it sooner? ”

"What are you nervous about?" Robles was dissatisfied, he had just been touched by Situ Nan's sadness, and he had not fully recovered for a while.

"Shaw Building, I want to build Shaw Tower," Situ Nan said with his hands and feet.

"Don't show off your Chinese, this is the United States, okay?" Robles shook his head and said with a headache. Situ Nan had a bad habit of speaking a language he didn't understand when he got carried away, and Robles later learned that it was called Chinese, which is said to be the most difficult language in the world to learn.

"Hmm," Situ Nan reacted and explained, "I was just inspired by the sale of the naming rights of the college, if I 'sell' the naming rights of the school buildings such as the teaching building, the library, and the auditorium, I guess there will be many people who are willing to donate, right?"

For example, how about the women's dormitory building at the University of William's Chrissy College of Letters called the Robles Building? Hehe, won't those girls live in your 'house' by then? This shouldn't be too expensive, I think it should be able to be built for tens of thousands of dollars, how about it? ”

Situ Nan saw that Robles was silent, thinking that the other party was hesitating, as if he continued to be honest and seductive.

"Is it okay to curse?". Robles was amused.

"Scold, scold, don't give me face. However, after the scolding, remember to remit the money from Chrissy College of Literature and the Robles Building to the Wells Fargo account. ”

Situ Nan said cheekily that he had just solved a major financial source for the establishment of the school, and he was in a beautiful mood

Now, those who don't get the naming rights of the college can donate to build the school building named after them, think about what a beautiful thing it is

I think that at the beginning, it should have been in the previous life, next door to Situ Nan's alma mater at university, there was a Shaw building in a key polytechnic university, and then when I visited another key university, I also found that there was also a Shaw Building, and I couldn't help but be curious.

Looking back, I found out that the universities and primary schools in the north and south of the country have built Shaw Building, so I am very resentful of this Run Run Shaw, the "building control" rich man, who called his alma mater just without Shaw Building.

Now, the "grievances" of Situ Nan's previous life have also come to this foreign country in the early twentieth century, Situ Nan did not engrave his name everywhere like Shaw, on the contrary, he wanted to drag all the rich people he knew to his school to engrave their names.

"Except for you and Handar, Eastman? Kodak, James? White, Francis, Guedas, Hans, and so on, all of these rich guys can be less. Haha," Situ Nanqu said.

"And Jesse? Livermore, Benjamin? What about Graham? Robles found out that Situ Nan had leaked two of his generals, and couldn't help but kindly remind. He can see that in this matter, Situ Nan is ready to drag all the people in the consortium into the water, so no one can think of hiding

Robles looked at Situ Nan's smug smile and thought: Which one is the real you? Oil tycoon? Arms dealers? The god of stocks? Banker? Prophet? Nouveau riche or philanthropist with somewhat absurd behavior? Or even a lonely man with some mission?

Robles did not have to predict what Strut Nan would achieve in the future, and in any case, a person who was enthusiastic about education would not be bad

In his opinion, Situ Nan actually lacks this money at all, but he is just a little "playful".

Over the years, along the way, except for Situ Nan himself, Robles should be the person who knows Situ Nan the best.

"No matter what, I support Situ Nan, because you have always been the closest person to stand by my Robles, and we have always been together."
