The next day, Pittsburgh Payne Station, Bonham's Rotunda Waiting Hall. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)

There was a rush of people, and passengers were carrying their luggage, constantly going up and down, in and out.

Life is a train, some people go up and some people get off. You used to think that you could go on forever, but at the next stop, she said goodbye to you, and when you didn't react.

Then, you'll meet the second, third, or nth person, and each one of them will be on a different journey, and you just don't know how long they can go with you.

No one can say where the end will be, but I believe that the person who can accompany you all the way is the one who is truly worth cherishing. Of course, if you didn't miss it.

"Woo woo"

The angry horn of the train interrupted Situ Nan's emotion.

"The K850 train is five minutes away, so Pittsburgh-Detroit passengers are advised to get on board." The staff at the station constantly urged passengers to get on the train.

The wind was a little strong, and Laura's hair was ruffled by the wind, Situ Nan gently brushed the hair on Laura's face, rubbing his fingers on that delicate face, and looked at each other.

Reluctantly!

"Let's go back! It's windy here! Situ Nan said softly.

"Hmm." Laura's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she turned around with tears in her eyes and took two steps before flying on Situ Nan's body.

"No, I can't!" She hugged Situ Nan hard, for fear that in the next second, the happiness she had finally found would slip away.

The last time I said goodbye to Situ Nan in New York was four years, and Laura didn't want to experience that kind of pain again!

Situ Nan gently patted Laura on the back, and after a while, "Promise me, don't make me wait too long!" Laura said in Situ Nan's ear.

Letting go of Laura's embrace, Situ Nan boarded her body and comforted: "Don't worry, it's just a moment of separation, we can meet soon!" ”

"Sir, the train is about to start, hurry up and get on board!" The flight attendant next to him reminded. Well, that's the treatment of a first-class ticket.

For the comfort of the journey, Situ Nan wrapped the entire luxury carriage. To this end, the railway company specially arranged personnel to guide the VIPs on the train.

It is difficult to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless.

The train started slowly, and Situ Nan lifted the curtains of the window and stared out the window. Laura's rain-soaked face receded, blurred, then vanished, and finally remained in her head and hovered endlessly.

If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight?

Situ Nan comforted himself that the temporary parting was only for the future reunion.

It turned out that after returning from Frick yesterday, Situ Nan received a telegram from Xu Zhouyang from Detroit.

After Xu Zhouyang joined the Cummins Power Company founded by Situ Nan last year, due to the grass-roots innovation, the foundation of Cummins Power Company was weak and lacked R&D capabilities, which was unacceptable to Xu Zhouyang.

Without a group of high-quality technical talents, it would be a dream for him to engage in the research on the power of the network machine of Nei Ai Shang's novel.

To this end, Xu Zhouyang, on behalf of Cummins Dynamics, reached a cooperation agreement with his alma mater, Berkeley: the two sides jointly established the Power Research Institute, Berkeley is responsible for technical research, Cummins Power provides funds and equipment, and the research results are owned by both parties, and Cummins Power can use these results first.

The shelves were erected, but they had to be added to them.

Xu Zhouyang, who was enthusiastic, volunteered to go to the eastern industrial city to recruit engineers and technicians, well, he was here to poach. However, at first, Situ Nan was not optimistic that he, a person engaged in technical research, could do a good job of "headhunting".

For this matter, Xu Zhouyang has been busy for a long time. Now things are working. Xu Zhouyang has recruited a good group of technicians in Chicago, Detroit and other big cities, and they are willing to join a small company in the west: Cummins Power.

The two cities of Detroit and Chicago are both places where machinery manufacturing is developed in the United States. Detroit is a famous motor city in the United States, General Motors, Ford, and Dodge Motors and other early American automobile companies were born here, and now most of the most **10% of the cars in the United States are produced in Detroit.

Even after a hundred years, after the decline of the U.S. auto industry, more than 27% of automobiles are still made in Detroit. When Situ Nan wanted to invest in the automobile industry, the first thing he thought of was the city of Detroit, because Detroit has a complete supporting industry for the production of automobiles.

As for Chicago, not to mention. Historically, Chicago has been the second largest city in the United States before Los Angeles rose to prominence with high technology, which directly affected the U.S. economy.

New York has the most developed financial industry in the world, and Chicago is not bad, it is the second financial center after New York. In particular, futures trading in Chicago is world-famous, with a large number of goods traded in Chicago every year.

New York does not have a developed industry, Chicago also has it, and it is also the most industrially developed area in the United States, with a complete industrial sector. Not only heavy industry is dominant, but light industry is also developed.

It is the industrial base of steel and meat processing in the United States, and it is also in a leading position in the country in agricultural machinery, transportation machinery, chemicals, petrochemicals, engines, printing, etc., as well as industrial sectors such as wood processing, papermaking, textiles, clothing, and flour.

Although Situ Nan has always wanted to make Los Angeles the industrial center of the western United States in order to compete with the conglomerates in the east, it is a long road.

Achieving this goal will not only take opportunity, but also a long time, and the current Los Angeles area is much better than it was in history because of the little butterfly that Situ Nan used to fan and fan, but it is far from Chicago.

Therefore, Xu Zhouyang had to go from Los Angeles to Chicago to poach because of the large number of outstanding technical talents in the United States.

However, a lot of talents have been found, and the treatment promised by Xu Zhouyang has made many unambitious people a little moved, but there are also many people who are unwilling to go to Los Angeles in the west, even if Xu Zhouyang tries his best to talk about it, it is useless.

Well, easterners have some prejudice against the west, and in the eyes of most eastern Americans, the west is desolate and vast, ignorant and backward, and there are fierce cowboys everywhere, who steal, rob, kill, and rape these people do all kinds of evil.

Don't underestimate the stupidity of the American people, in an age of scarcity, people don't have many sources of information from the outside world. In some remote places, people still think that the world is just the size of the United States.

As a matter of fact, the western part of the country is not lagging behind, but is also building on a large scale, and the cities are growing at an astonishing rate.

While the oil boom has not yet passed, a large number of immigrants and investors from all over the world have gone all the way to the west. This influx of people and money spurred California's business to flourish.

However, Los Angeles has only been on the rise for a short time, and its influence has not yet been felt.

Now the manufacturing industry in the United States is very prosperous, and there are rumbling machines everywhere, so the capitalists provide good treatment for engineers, and without strong persuasion, these people who live well in the east do not want to go to the west.

After Xu Zhouyang inspected the industrial production in Chicago, Detroit and other big cities, he sent a telegram to Tunan to discuss the next step.

However, Xu Zhouyang didn't expect that his telegram would be entangled in Situ Nan in the past two days.

"Did you send a telegram to Zhou Yang?" Situ Nan asked Han Gang, he didn't have time to pay attention to it just now.

"Shoot. He will pick us up at the station. Han Gang said.

"Good!" Situ Nan waved his hand, and Han Gang retreated.

Situ Nan sipped his coffee and tapped his fingertips regularly on the tabletop, recalling his trip to Pittsburgh. I have gained a lot, whether it is career or love.

However, there is an idea that he has never told Andrew, even Situ Nan is also optimistic about Westinghouse Electric, the largest electrical company in Pittsburgh, and once thought of taking a stake in this electrical company.

It is a pity that Westinghouse Electric Company is jointly controlled by the Mellon consortium and the Rockefeller consortium, and there are already two great gods there, and now they can't tolerate their own food. Well, it's too late, that's it.

The Westinghouse Electric Company was founded on January 8, 1886 by electrical engineer G. Westinghouse, in Pennsylvania, USA, and was later infiltrated by the Mellon and Rockefeller consortiums.

When they succeeded, they banded together to squeeze Westhouse out of Westinghouse. Westinghouse was not only a brilliant electrical engineer, but also a brilliant entrepreneur, a good partner, but unfortunately he had died in 1914, two years earlier, otherwise Situ Nan could have come to him to work with.

Since its founding, Westinghouse has been in fierce competition with General Electric, which is controlled by the Morgan consortium.

The predecessor of General Electric was the Edison Electric Light Company, and later in 1892, Morgan funded the merger of three companies, including the Edison Electric Light Company and the Thomson-Häustens International Electric Company, to form the General Electric Company.

In the decades that followed, following the Morgan consortium's usual approach, GE continued to merge dozens of other electrical companies, large and small, and eventually grew into a giant.

It is especially able to "eat" and digest well, which is Situ Nan's impression of GE.

And the development process of Westinghouse Electric is similar. With the help of Nikola Stella, the inventor of alternating current, he defeated General Electric, which had a monopoly in direct current at the time, and won the construction project of the Niaguara Hydropower Station, which opened Westinghouse's brilliant career in the electrical field.

In the decades that followed, the two companies were evenly matched, each with its own strengths, until the seventies and eighties of the twentieth century, when Westinghouse was bought by the Japanese and General Electric continued to dominate.

In fact, both Westinghouse and General Electric are the overlords in the field of electrical in the future, and it is impossible for Situ Nan, such a company with unlimited potential, not to be tempted, he hates to take both General Electric and Westinghouse into his pocket, even if he pays a big price, he is willing.

In fact, it is not that you can buy what you want if you have money, and Situ Nan is not the only one who knows the goods.

Now both General Electric and Westinghouse Electric are developing very well, and they are already leaders in the electrical field in the United States, whether it is power generation or electrical appliance manufacturing, these two companies have played an indispensable role, and their potential has been realized.

So this kind of fragrant bait, whether it is the Morgan consortium or Mellon, the Rockefeller consortium will not let it go lightly, and it is not something that Situ Nan can get involved in now, although he wants to.

The best way is to start from scratch, so Situ Nan is ready to imitate the Morgan consortium and establish a Cummins Electric in the electrical field that can compete with General Motors and Westinghouse. However, this qiē is in his obscenity, and it cannot be realized for a while.

Situ Nan suddenly remembered a person, and that was Nikolai Stella. A forgotten and curious guy.

Interestingly, when it comes to Nikola Stella, people often associate him with Thomas Edison.

Edison, the soul of General Electric, and Nikola Stella, who had a close relationship with Westinghouse, were also notoriously bitter rivals in the field of science.

They both won the Nobel Prize in Physics, but neither of them accepted the prize, and neither of them wanted to share the honor with each other.

However, compared with Edison, who was known as an entrepreneur, Nikola Stella, a genius scientist, lost a lot in the business field. His downfall and bleak ending made future generations sigh.

If Situ Nan wants to make a career in the electrical field, Nikolai Stella is a very good help, and that scientific madman is not an easy person to tame.

His stubbornness makes people's heads big, and he is very keen on engaging in those unrealistic realities, and no amount of investment is enough for him to squander, otherwise not only the old Morgan but all the capitalists in the United States will refuse to accept him.

Situ Nan thought to himself, the next time he goes back to New York, should he talk to Nikolai Stella, it seems that this guy is not mixing very well now.
