After Kuva returned from Pirate 3, she rested for a day, and finally recovered. biquge.info Situ Nan thought that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, and Robles took care of the company in an orderly manner, so Situ Nan didn't want to go back to the securities company to face the group of financial people who were like chickens.

In particular, the large order in Britain kept Robles Securities half busy, and Robles and Stuart Nan went to the secret meeting on Morgan's Pirate 3, in order to be prepared, Robles hated to make those guys like cows.

Squeeze, bloody squeeze!

But for the sake of the generous rewards, those employees automatically ignore this. Even the unruly Jesse Rivermore is getting serious, pulling his best friend Graham to analyze the stock market, well, he hasn't been there in days.

In the past two days, Robles has been constantly mobilizing troops, and a group of sales elites have been driven by him to the western and southern states to contact the local banks with good relations.

Many of these banks had ties to Stuart's industry, so little by little, Robles opened up the western and southern banks, and contacted a group of bankers with a keen sense of smell, and once the United States entered the war, Robles Securities could use these self-established networks to sell the bonds issued in New York and other investment envy to the western and southern states.

This is very important for Robles Securities, both Situ Nan and Robles have a good understanding in the next year or two, so that Robles Securities will take advantage of the United States' entry into the war to become a world-class investment bank.

Since the spring breeze overnight, Kuva has become a little clingy to Situ Nan.

In order to settle the new mistress, Situ Nan had to buy a house not far from Robles's residence and spent $500,000.

Day! It's a lot of money, and it's worth the money, and you won't lose money by buying a house in New York, especially after more than ten or eight years, and in the twenties, the U.S. economy boomed again, but the house price has increased several times.

Eat, go shopping, go to the theater.

The relationship between men and women, no matter how unworldly, cannot escape the back and forth trilogy. Perhaps, falling in love is a more brainless thing!

To put it bluntly, Situ Nan is a little spoiled Kuva, unlike Mary's maturity and generosity, Kuva is like a child, she can be a little coquettish, but she never dares to be unreasonable.

What Situ Nan hates the most are those brainless women who think they are great if they have a little bit of beauty, as if everyone in the world owes her, so they have to come according to her wishes.

When their demands are not met, they lose their temper. It's not coquettish, it's spicy. Of course, there are many men who prefer to eat this set. Turnip greens, each with its own good.

"Stoney, that bag is beautiful!"

"Buy it!"

"And that mink coat, I've always wanted to have one!"

"Buy it!"

"Oh my God, that diamond is so big!"

"Buy it, buy it quickly, buy what you like, and go to dinner after you buy it!" Situ Nan said impatiently. He took out a large bundle of dollars from a bag handed over by Han Gan and stuffed it into Kuva's handbag.

Fortunately, he had the foresight, and when he came out in the afternoon, he brought two more bodyguards out, otherwise he might be the one carrying the bag.

"Oh!" Kuva's weak appearance is heart-wrenching, but Situ Nan didn't fall for this trick, shopping with women was his least favorite thing to do in his previous life and this life, because many times women just enjoy the feeling of shuttling among thousands of goods, as if those things belong to them, in fact, they sometimes buy very few things, just keep shopping, and everyone is dizzy, because you don't know what she wants.

Well, finally ended this boiling activity, and the man who followed the woman with the bag finally completed the role of today's ATM and porter, but every time I found that the various things they brought back, most of the time their owners didn't need it at all, maybe they were just fascinated by the merchant's discount promotion or the shiny appearance of such goods, but it was not practical at all if they didn't come back.

There is a saying that a man would rather spend two dollars on a thing that costs one dollar but he can use it, and a woman often buys a thing for two dollars but she doesn't need it.

This idea may be a little biased, but that's how Situ Nan stubbornly thinks so.

Kuva finally couldn't resist the temptation of the shiny things, and walked over, where Situ Nan sat bored in a chair outside the store.

"Stoney?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Situ Nan, and when he looked back, he saw a person he didn't expect.

"Hey! Mr. Eastey, why are you? Situ Nan was surprised.

Ishmei also had a woman on her side.

"This is my wife, Julia Severne, and this is Stoney, but now I'm rich."

Isme smiled, looking a little reluctant.

Others don't know Situ Nan, doesn't he know yet? Ishmei also has a lot of connections in New York, although since the Titanic's accident, he has a bit of a bad reputation as chairman of the White Star Steamship Company.

It has been more than four years since the Titanic sank, except for Rose, Situ Nan has never seen anyone else who came over with him on the Titanic, let alone East, but occasionally saw some sporadic news on the Titanic in the newspaper.

I think when the Titanic sank, the two were still sitting on the same lifeboat!

But at that time, Situ Nan was a penniless, humble sailor, and Ismei was a big boss on top.

However, Yishimei has never had the opportunity to play the prestige of a big boss in front of Situ Nan. When the gap is too big, they don't have the opportunity to meet; When they met, they fell to the end of the world at the same time.

After a hundred years of repair, they are also destined. The chairman of the cruise line, who had left his passengers and fled at the critical moment, fell on the lifeboat commanded by Situ Nan, so they still had some impressions of each other.

Of course, Situ Nan would not point to Yishimei's nose and say, "Why did so many people die, but you, the chairman of the White Star Steamship Company, are not dead?" ”

The past is gone, and the most investigation has not been pursued, the sinking of the Titanic is the result of a series of mistakes, not the responsibility of just someone, so Situ Nan has always looked at this matter with a more tolerant attitude.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Yi Shimei looked at Han Gan, who was standing not far from Situ Nan, and sighed again and again, an ordinary crew member under him at the beginning has now become a figure that he looks up to.

"Mr. Easter, I support the newspaper that yesterday the court has made a final judgment on the responsibility for the sinking of the Titanic, and the White Star Company has been judged to be responsible for the accident, and it will also pay more than $2.5 million in damages?" Situ Nan asked.

"Yes, it does. But I'm no longer the chairman of the White Star Corporation, and Jack Morgan kicked me out. Don't they know that the White Star Company was built by our Ishman family? Those greedy guys always say good things when they pay dividends, and when something happens, they put all the blame on me. ”

Ishmei said indignantly.

"Ahem..."

The words were too urgent, and he was out of breath, and Ismei coughed repeatedly. His wife kept patting him in the back.

However, Situ Nan didn't think much when he heard it, but Kuva hadn't come out yet, and it was rare to meet this old man, so Situ Nan still patiently talked to Yishimei.

Through Guò Ishmei's introduction, Situ Nan realized that Ishmei, who seemed to be a little greedy for life and afraid of death, was also not a simple person.

Joseph Bruce Eastey was born in Crosby, Mersside, a suburb of Liverpool, in 1862. His father, Thomas East, was a senior partner at Ismay & Imrie and the founder of Whitestarline.

As a young man, he studied at the prestigious ElstreeSchool and Harrowschool, before spending a year in France. After returning from France, he worked as an apprentice in his father's company for four years, then as the company's representative in New York, and eventually as a corporate agent.

In 1891, Ishman returned to England to join his family and became a partner in Ezman and Imre. In 1899, Thomas Ismay died, and Bruce Ismet took over the family business.

Eastman was extremely business-minded, and the business of White Star Shipping continued to expand under its stewardship. In order to expand his shipping business, Ismay also held directorships and managers in a number of other shipping companies.

In 1901, he approached a group of Americans who wanted to establish an international shipping group, and eventually partnered with them to merge the White Star Shipping Line into the International Mercantile Marine Company

Company, abbreviated as IMM), and served as Chairman and General Manager of White Star Steamship Company.

Speaking of this IMM, we have to mention the former leader of the Morgan family, the eloquent 'J.P. Morgan,He has always been interested in big things.,After establishing several trusts in the United States, such as railroads and steel,J.P.Morgan then established a huge shipping trust IMM.,In order to counter the British shipping giant Cunard,East.,With the support of Morgan,Ishme built two giant Titanic and Olympia.。

Unexpectedly, the Titanic was destroyed for the first time, and more than a thousand people died, which was a huge blow to the White Star Steamship Company, Ishmei and J.P Morgan.

Originally, J.P. Morgan was going to participate in the first voyage of the Titanic, but fortunately, due to physical discomfort, J.P. Morgan temporarily canceled the formation.

When the news of the sinking of the Titanic spread, J. P Morgan, who was far away in an ancient castle in France, heard the news, and he was completely collapsed when he was not in good health, and kept muttering: "Think about the ruined lives, the terrible deaths." ”

J.P Morgan died shortly after the Titanic accident, and it is difficult to say that his death had nothing to do with the sinking of the Titanic, so the Morgan family has hated the death of Ismei, a guy who "has more than enough success and more than failure", a good happy event, and it turned out to be a big funeral, how can you not be angry?

Think about the dead passengers, among whom there are not only famous doctors, writers but also many super-rich, how can the families of these deceased not spit on the "initiator" Ishmei?

Therefore, after the Titanic accident, both the upper class and public opinion in the United States and the United Kingdom blamed Eastey, and rich and colorful words such as "scum" and "coward" were suddenly equated with Eastmy.

In the past few years, Yishimei has lived in shame like a rat crossing the street.

No way, something so big happened, people need someone to bear all the sins, Ishmi is the best choice, who told him not to die with the other passengers on the Titanic?

"I really regret that if I hadn't let James sail so fast, the tragedy might not have happened. But why am I the only one who bears all my sins? I'm not reconciled! ”

Izme became agitated again, coughing even harder.

Situ Nan was also a little sad when he heard it, the punishment of Yishimei over the years was enough, and now Situ Nan looked at his gray hair, loose skin, and dark eyes, where is the original spirit, this person will live the rest of his life to regret and point to it, and the condemnation of conscience may not stop until he closes his eyes and leaves this world, right?

"It's all over, it's over, don't think about it. We who live should live well. By the way, Mr. Ismail, do you have any plans for the future? Situ Nan asked.

Situ Nan didn't want other people's accusations, but comforted himself, which made Isme's heart a little warm, and even his wife Julia Schverin next to him looked at Situ Nan with some gratitude.

This is a gentle and kind woman, no matter how others slander her husband, she has been silently supporting and comforting Yishimei. Husband and wife only show their sincerity when they share hardships.

"Morgan they kicked me out of the White Star Steamship Company, and I don't want to be in business anymore and just want to do something meaningful. I was going to set up a fund to find the missing seafarers, and I was going to raise money in New York, but it didn't work out well, and they didn't believe me much. ”

Ishmei said with some frustration.

"It's a very rewarding thing and I admire your courage. If you really have the heart, I can donate part of the funds. Can you see $10,000? Situ Nan said.

Who is without fault? Even if a person has committed an irreparable mistake, he engages in something beneficial to society in order to make up for the guilt in his heart, and we cannot refuse. Even if we can't forgive him, his charity benefits the rest of society.

"Really? Thank you, Stoney! Yismei excitedly took Situ Nan's hand. For him, it is not the $10,000 that is grateful, but a trust, and it took a lot of courage for Easter to come out and make up his mind.

"By the way, Stoney, there's something I don't know how to say?" Ezzy looked embarrassed.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it! In fact, when I think about it, we are also quite fated, we are all friends, aren't we? Situ Nan smiled sincerely.

"Alright! The White Star Steamship Company was established by our Ishman family, so now I still have 15% of the shares in my hands, and I can sell it to you at a low price if you want to. Ishmei said with a wry smile.

"What? Why are you? Situ Nan couldn't figure it out. Although in the Titanic time, the White Star Company suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, but now it has recovered, with the east wind of the First World War, the White Star Steamship Company has developed well, Situ Nan can't understand why Ishmei wants to transfer the shares to himself, although he himself was kicked out of the board of directors, but this is a huge gain after all!

"Surprised, huh? I just don't want the White Star Steamship Company to have anything to do with our Ishman family anymore, and those who want me to be cheap are a little unwilling, so I think you're the best choice. Isme laughed.

"So?" Situ Nan thought for a while, no matter what he said, he would not suffer a loss, although 15% of the shares were a little less for him, but having the status of a director of a world-class shipping company would also be very helpful for his future business expansion outside the United States.

Especially before the German merchant ships staying in the United States were in their hands, the shipping giant planned by Situ Nan has not even seen a shadow now.

"Alright! Mr. Ismei, I would say that it would be hard to refuse your good family. But now I can't come up with a lot of money at once, I think it's acceptable to exchange shares? In the end, Situ Nan decided to eat the shares of the White Star Company in the hands of Ismei.

At this time, it showed that Isme's shrewdness as a businessman came, and after some bargaining, he finally exchanged the shares of some of Situ Nan's enterprises from Situ Nan.

Occidental Petroleum is not included, though. This is Situ Nan's lifeline.

In general, the fate of the White Star Steamship Company was not good, but it had brilliant achievements during the First World War, and Situ Nan did not think that it would be able to control this shipping giant for a long time, because its big boss was Morgan, and it really didn't work to cash out.

The deal was actually made at the dinner table, and when Kuva arrived, Situ Nan had already drunk two cups of coffee.

"Is this your girlfriend? It's beautiful! Ishme exclaimed.

You can't say it's not, right? Situ Nan only admitted with an "um".

When Kuwa heard this, her hanging heart fell, her heart was a little sweet, and she looked at Situ Nan's eyes with a little more joy.

After the Missmen had finished eating, they walked away in a playful manner, and Stuart told him to go to Robles Securities in a few days to finalize the contract with Robles, because Stuart was no longer in New York.

"Alright, let's go! I've been with you for a day today, you should repay me like this! Situ Nan lightly lifted Kuva's delicate chin with his hand.

"Hmm!" Kuwa couldn't bear Situ Nan's hot gaze a little, and with a snort, she hurriedly turned her head away.

Now, I'm shy!!
