In late spring and early summer, New York enters its best season.

The economic depression did not affect the prosperity of the megacity, although in the distant Mississippi River, farmers and capitalists had to pour milk into the river to stabilize the price of milk.

New York City naturally has Hoover Village and Hoover Park, and there are still many homeless people in the Brooklyn neighborhood.

However, this is Fifth Avenue, and the city is still bustling with traffic, and pedestrians are still hurrying, occasionally glancing at the beautifully lit shop windows on both sides before reluctantly leaving.

Nowadays, it's not just the expensive windows that compete for the attention of New Yorkers, but also the magnificent scenery above them - the Chrysler Building.

On the opening day, it attracted the attention of countless people, Wall Street bankers, Washington and local dignitaries, major business magnates, New York celebrities, Broadway stars, and, of course, bee-like reporters.

Newspapers have been reporting on Chrysler Motor Company and its founder, Walter Motors. Chrysler.

In the evening, the newly completed Chrysler Building is brightly lit and bright. Chrysler got off work, sat in a luxurious Lincoln, loosened his tight tie, rubbed his smiling face, and still had the excitement of the day's mansion completion banquet on his face, and received too many congratulations.

The excited voice of the secretary was heard in his ears, and the secretary was reading the newspaper comments with gusto.

"A masterpiece in the history of human architecture, an immortal work of art......"

"The car empire stands tall in the midst of an economic depression......"

"How the descendants of railway workers became kings of the world............"

"General Motors' major shareholder Rascob is dismissive of this and is ready to join the race to build high-rise buildings......"

This is the evening newspaper of the day, and tomorrow's newspaper coverage will be even larger. Spread all over the United States. and the whole world.

Walter at this time. Chrysler is like the glittering Chrysler Building. The glow of the whole body is scorching, especially for American journalists who have been idle lately.

Of course, there were also bad comments, and left-wing newspapers criticized Chrysler and Chrysler Motor Company for extravagantly building expensive high-rise buildings at a time when the people of the United States were living in dire straits, which was extremely unsympathetic.

In contrast, Ford Motor is much more generous, sponsoring tens of thousands of unemployed workers.

"Will the Chrysler Building project create fewer jobs for New York? A bunch of ignorant critics. ”

Walter. Chrysler shook his head. Instructed the driver to drive, not taking the slightest objection to heart.

Now that the economy is in a downturn, companies in New York are going out of business, and the building is built, it is not easy to recoup the cost. Now, of course, it's even more important to get Chrysler out of the quagmire.

Come to think of this, Walter. Chrysler was less excited and complacent, more heavy and stressful.

……

The completion of the Chrysler Building undoubtedly stimulated Lascob, who had been clamoring to build his own Empire State Building.

To that end, he visited the mayor of New York and then walked into the governor's office. Roosevelt discussed the importance of the "Empire State Building project in addressing the unemployment and economic development of New York State."

Even though he didn't like Franklin. Roosevelt. The attitude is not humble, and he still gets a lot of benefits from the New York government.

For this he was triumphant. He thinks he has helped the stupid bureaucrats of the government to eliminate many, many members of the G-industry.

Meet Pierre in person. While Dupont and Morgan Jr. were waiting for their financiers, he said, "There's no doubt that the in Hoover Village are a headache for the government, and they're eager to get these time bombs away."

Andrew. Isn't the Mellon's cabinet now like a garbage dump deporting those who have lost all their money to Asia?

The economic crisis has cost us a lot, but there are also benefits, one of which is that those guys are cheap.

In the past, those uncles were not cheap! ”

During the Coolidge boom, the construction industry was booming, and the wages of workers were really not low, which affected the cost of the building to a considerable extent.

Lascob soon announced the Empire State Building project, and as he put it, soon recruited a large number of livestock-like construction workers.

"The competition to build high-rise buildings is not for nothing, at least it solves the employment problem in New York."

Roosevelt mentioned this in his meeting with Situ Nan, with a faint smile on his lips.

New York's economy was much better than other states, and Roosevelt was already trying to implement some of his policies.

The Hoover administration's unpopularity and unsatisfactory policies gave him and the Democrats hope of returning to the White House.

The most direct help was Situ Nan and the William consortium, and Roosevelt very much wanted Situ Nan's support.

Situ Nan also seems to be optimistic about Roosevelt, the cripple, this is the third time the two have met after the economic crisis.

Both smart men can find many things in common from each other's perspectives, such as the government widening the fiscal deficit, building public works, stimulating the economy, and boosting employment.

However, Situ Nan, who was born in a consortium and expanding the government's influence and dominating the U.S. economy, has reservations.

"There is a lack of confidence in the U.S. economy, and everyone is afraid.

Faith does not come out of the void, but is built up little by little. I also agree to increase investment in New York, and I hope to cooperate with your administration and rebuild the confidence of Americans. ”

Situ Nan promised.

Roosevelt was pleased.

He is about to push for a bill that will strengthen financial regulation, establish a strict financial regulatory system, and stop Wall Street bankers from doing anything wrong.

Now that the Republican Party is in power, it is difficult to say how far it can go, but Roosevelt's view is in line with public opinion and the mainstream.

To his delight, Situ Nan introduced his friend, Kennedy, who had been addicted to officials in recent years, to him.

If one day, Kennedy, a banker, might be able to become his powerful helper.

Watching Situ Nan leave, Roosevelt thought to himself.

"Why don't you give it a try, my dear, maybe William has his eye on a spot in the White House too?"

Wife Eleanor. Roosevelt asked.

"He's scarier than Andrew. Hide deeper. He is even more reluctant to show his head. ”

Roosevelt shook his head. Give up the idea of wooing Situ Nan.

I thought: If Situ Nan wants to enter the White House, does he need to follow behind his back? Still wronged to be an assistant to yourself?

……

While Cummins Air and Boeing were facing antitrust threats, and Cummins Air gritted its teeth and continued to develop new large passenger planes with 30 seats, while Boeing Airlines took the opportunity to acquire other aircraft factories and airlines, the reorganized Bethlehem Company quietly built a large aircraft carrier on the shipyard of the original Hawker family.

The order comes from the Asian consortium - the US-China Consortium, and the user is likely to be the South China Navy.

Lin Yurong walked in the shipyard in a blue navy uniform, followed behind a group of senior naval officials, and vaguely heard the man in blue jeans in front of him say: "The American-Chinese Bank has made a lot of money in the United States. Some things can't be moved, and they have to be converted into physical objects to really earn.

This shipyard can build 100,000-class ships, but this is meaningless and not economically viable, although we have achieved some results in container transportation.

A 50,000-class tanker is now being built for oil companies...... Of course, there is no problem in building a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier......"

That person, Lin Yurong didn't know him, I heard that he was the owner of the navy, he liked the navy very much, and he admired himself, otherwise he would not have studied in the UK and was suddenly sent to the United States to learn naval and air warfare. At the same time, it also supervises the progress of aircraft carrier construction.

"Do you like airplanes? It would be very interesting to attack surface ships with aircraft.

There was a Japanese naval officer who was also working on this. He often visited Cummins and Boeing Aircraft Company. I want you to check it out too. ”

“……”

“…… Oh, his name is Yamamoto Fifty-Six! A math genius, maybe even better than you! ”

Lin Yurong recalled the words of the mysterious gentleman from time to time in his mind, and he still remembered that the gentleman had a mysterious smile on his face at that time, as if he was saying something interesting.

"Better than your own math?"

Lin Yurong was aroused to be competitive, and there are still people who can calculate better than himself? He wanted to see where he was sacred.

After that, Lin Yurong not only inspected the US Naval Air Force, but also went to California to inspect the most advanced aviation industry.

When he felt that in Los Angeles, he heard news from a Chinese fellow countryman that because of his strong computing ability, the powerful Japanese naval officer was almost beheaded in a Las Vegas casino, because the casino owner was the famous Chinese gambling king Huo Zhiting.

This person's experience in the west is simply a legend.

"Mr. Hammer is doing a good job, cheap wooden barrels, potatoes that are almost poured into the river, and you use them to make expensive alcohol and sell them, what a profit!"

In a resort estate in Nevada, Huo Zhiting casually glanced at the visiting red businessman Hamer.

Gambling, moonshine, hotels, and construction are now the main businesses of Chinese gangsters, and moonshine is the most fascinating, not only for Chinese, but also for whites, blacks, and Italians.

It is said that there is a guy named Gatsby in the East, who pretends to be a tyrant all day long, throws parties, and entertains celebrities. Chrysler still has money, and he also mixes moonshine behind his back.

"It takes a lot of power to break into Atlantic City, and I think you Chinese gangsters can hold up to the Italians, they've had a monopoly on this for too long."

Hammer laughed.

He doesn't know how to sell moonshine, but he's all too familiar with how to produce alcohol on the border between Canada and the United States, and he's doing a good business.

Huo Zhiting was noncommittal, and it was quite risky to enter the east coast.

However, lately, Italians have infiltrated California everywhere, and even Hollywood has to intervene, which is really unpleasant.

"What? You weren't even afraid of the Ku Klux Klux Klan back then? ”

Hammer looked at the Chinese leader in front of him with a questioning gaze.

If you don't dare to bother the mysterious William with this trivial matter, you still need to come here?

After Hammer left, Huo Zhiting and others held a meeting, and someone couldn't help but jump out: "Cut, isn't it the Italian mafia?" They have guns, we also have typewriters!

There are also some brothers in the gang who are fighting with guerrillas in South America and Africa, so if they can't find someone from South China? ”

"Yes, the economy has been bad recently, stocks are worthless, and it's hard to sell more wine!"

A bunch of bastards who aren't afraid of death!

Huo Zhiting scolded secretly in his heart, but he had to go to An Liangtang to discuss how to cooperate to make this business more secure.

From the high-ranking business tycoons, well-dressed politicians, to the upright townspeople, black and white, black cats and white cats, they all desperately grasp what they can see.

If they're miserable enough, what are the Germans on the streets of Munich who survive on thin potato soup?

In the chaotic years, the competition for resources has intensified. (To be continued.) )
