Chapter 125: Buying a Ship

In fact, it is not a fabrication, and both commissions are true.

One is that her best friend's father, an upright federal military attaché abroad, disappeared on his way home from the Far East.

In Julie's cognition, Mr. Huang He, like herself, is a rebellious son of a big family.

He left his hometown in the Qing Kingdom and came to North America in search of inspiration.

So Julie entrusted Mr. Huang He to help her find the missing military attaché.

In return, Julie paid $500 in advance.

If the first commission was more or less Julie's real hope, then the second commission was completely random, and Julie never thought that she would be able to get help.

In the letter, Julie told Mr. Huang He that her family was in trouble and needed to sell a large number of steam carriers.

But the cunning merchants of New York smelled something unusual in the air.

And the reason why Vanderbilt Sr. wanted to sell all of his shipping business and turn it to the railroad industry, in addition to Lincoln's policy, was also because the shipping industry was now very competitive on the Atlantic route.

Today, before the outbreak of the second industrial revolution, the demand for transportation capacity is close to saturation.

In the words of later generations, it is the Atlantic shipping that has seen a serious involution.

As a result, other shipping companies wanted to buy Vanderbilt's ships, but they all secretly worked together to lower prices, forming an unstable alliance to lower prices.

And if we want to break such a stalemate, we must have foreign capital to enter.

It does not mean that all the boats must be eaten in one go, but as long as there are foreign loaches stirring up the troubled waters, then the capitalists in New York will not be able to sit on the ground and raise prices.

Julie was again paid $500 and entrusted him with finding capital in the western and Far East of the United States that would be willing to spend money on ships.

In fact, if the old Vanderbilt and Steve Vanderbilt saw this letter, they would definitely drop their jaws in surprise.

(Steve is Julie's father, so it's easy to imagine that Steve Nash looks like him, and Julie looks like his daughter)

Because they have the impression that Julie is a troubled girl who has no interest in the family business and is immersed in her fantasies all day long, and they don't even bother to talk to her about business things at all.

But it's such a problem girl.,In the limited information that she usually obtains, she distilled the truth of the matter.。

Even, the idea of bringing in outsiders to stir up the price limit alliance actually coincided with the old Vanderbilt.

The only difference is that Julie just used this as an excuse to fall in love with an Oriental, and she didn't expect to get a positive response.

The elder Vanderbilt, on the other hand, is using his connections to find capital from his hometown of the Netherlands, and has begged for a number of banks and consortia, but to no avail.

In fact, the main purpose of this family dinner was for old Vanderbilt to gather everyone together to discuss the matter.

Although the elder Vanderbilt decided to stud on the railroad, and the speed of realization of his assets was quite important to him, it did not mean that he could tolerate the serious undervaluation and sale of the assets of the ship.

……

While Julie was hiding behind the dwarf rose in the garden, she was looking intently at Mr. Yellow Crane's letters, a middle-aged man with a gloomy face that could almost wring out water was already standing quietly behind her.

This middle-aged man is none other than Julie's father, Steve Vanderbilt.

And Julie's loyal maid was being dragged aside by the head maid covering her mouth at this time.

There is nothing she can do about her master's crisis.

What Steve had been fearing happened.

His only daughter is falling in love with a man behind her back.

For a long time, Steve didn't consider himself a person who valued family affection.

There is no emotion for this daughter who gathers less and leaves more.

But at this moment, Steve, as an old father, still felt a dull pain in his heart.

Even if you don't consider this, if there are any bad scandals about your daughter, then the battle for inheritance, which she does not have an advantage in front of her father, will be completely over.

So no matter how much he thinks about it, Steve can't sit idly by.

Swish!

Steve snatched the letter from Julie from behind.

Thanks to the fact that Zhu Fugui wrote the credit in the style of an invitation card, the letter was not torn.

"My letter!"

Julie stood up in a panic, trying to reclaim her treasure.

"Shut up, you crazy bwf!"

This manor belonged to old Vanderbilt, so Steve didn't dare to make a big deal out of it, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Say, who is this yellow crane?" Is the son of old Chopper, who sells cranes? ”

Crane means crane and also means crane.

That's why Steve has such doubts.

If it was the son of old Chopper, he could barely accept it.

After all, it's a good match.

"Phew, don't compare Mr. Yellow Crane to that kind of playboy!"

Julie knew that her father also had some scruples in this manor, and in this letter, the details of Mr. Huang He's being a Chinese were not revealed.

So Julie did not shy away from saying: "Mr. Huang He is a great writer who has created the best ontological reasoning in the world!" ”

"Reasoning? Writer? Isn't this the poor ghost? ”

Stunned for a moment, Steve was furious.

For a big capitalist like him, it's not bad for a creature like a writer to be a friend and a tool to whitewash his taste, but as an object of marriage, it's no different from finding a beggar.

Of course, writers don't have to be poor.

For example, JK Rowling and the like in later generations.

If Steve had seen Zhu Fugui's royalties and manuscript fee income, he would definitely take back his words, and would not use the "poor ghost" to describe him, but changed to a "rich poor ghost".

"He must be greedy for your money and our property!" Steve said angrily.

"No, that's not the case, Mr. Huang He is a noble man, I didn't even reveal my last name, and when it comes to money, I only sent him $2,000."

"$2,000? If you give him $2,000 a day, by the end of the century, our family will be bankrupt! ”

"But Mr. Huang He's family is already very wealthy, and they are closely connected to a Jewish capital group called the Donald Consortium!"

"This is nothing more than an old man's rhetoric to deceive an ignorant girl, and I was, oh no, your uncles and cousins, who didn't use this kind of opening statement to deceive a woman's trust? When you get it, you can throw it away like garbage! ”

"It's different, Mr. Huang He is different, he is even willing to invest in the purchase of 10 steam carriers for me!"

"Hehe, isn't it just 10 ships...... Wait a minute...... What did you say!!! ”
