"Tony, look what that is!" On this day, when Monet was shopping with Nicole, Nicole suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.

Monet thought that Nicole had seen some beautiful clothes or jewelry, so he looked up lazily, but then he was stunned, because not far in front of him was actually a fundraising stall, and the banner said "Looking for the missing seafarers of the Titanic", but this was not the most shocking to him, the most shocking thing was that sitting in the stall was actually Joseph Bruce - Ismay, the chairman of the White Star Shipping Company, the manufacturer of the Titanic!

It's just that how can this chairman have time to set up a stall here to raise donations? Although the Titanic incident caused the White Star Company to suffer a heavy blow both in terms of reputation and company economy, it did not go out of business, and in Monet's memory, it seems that there was a glorious period during the upcoming World War I.

Although Monet hated the chairman of the cruise ship who abandoned the passengers and fled at the critical moment, he still supported the "search for the missing seafarers", so he took out the checkbook and signed a check for a thousand dollars.

Originally, this booth was deserted and no one patronized, and Monet was a thousand dollars as soon as he made a move, Ismay was naturally very shocked, and when he saw the signature, he immediately reacted and asked him: "You are Mr. Monet who wrote "Titanic"?" ”

Monet nodded and replied, "That's right, I am!" ”

Ismay thought for a moment, then pointed to a café not far away and asked Monet, "Mr. Monet, can we go have a cup of coffee?" ”

"Okay!" Monet nodded in agreement, and then said to Nicole beside him: "You go shopping first, I'll have a cup of coffee with Mr. Ismay, and then you come to the café to find me!" ”

After arriving at the café and sitting down, Monet casually asked, "Mr. Ismay, why are you here to raise donations?" ”

Ismay sighed and replied, "Because I have nothing to do other than this matter, maybe Mr. Monet, you don't know, now I am no longer the chairman of the White Star Company!" ”

"Why? Just $2.5 million in damages shouldn't make White Star bankrupt, right? Monet asked puzzled. (The court's final verdict on the Titanic shipwreck is that White Star should bear $2.5 million in damages!) ）

"Just two and a half million will naturally not bankrupt the White Star Company, but I have been kicked out of the White Star Company by Jack Morgan, and they don't know that the White Star Company was established by our Isme family? Those greedy guys always say good things when they pay dividends, and when something happens, they put all the blame on me. Ismay said indignantly.

In fact, Ismay is not wrong, the White Star Shipping Company was founded by his father, Thomas Ismay, who took over the family business in 1899, after his father's death.

Ismay was extremely business-minded, and the business of White Star Shipping continued to expand under his 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 White Star Shipping into the International Merchant Marine Seamen's Management Company (IMM), where he served as chairman and general manager.

Speaking of this IMM, we have to mention the former leader of the Morgan family, the eloquent 'J· P. Morgan, who had always been interested in big things, and after establishing several trusts in the United States, such as railroads and steel, J. Morgan, who had always been interested in big things, and after establishing several trusts in the United States, such as railroads Morgan then built a huge shipping trust, IMM, and in order to counter the British shipping giant Cunard, Ismay built two giant Titanic and Olympic with Morgan's support.

But I didn't expect the Titanic to be destroyed for the first time, and more than 1,000 people died. P-Morgan was a huge blow.

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.

However, although he did not suffer a Titanic shipwreck, when he learned of this tragedy, JP Morgan was also hit hard and died soon after, so the Morgan family is very resentful of Isme, and such a big tragedy, someone must take the blame, and Ismay is the best choice, who told him not to die with the other passengers on the Titanic?

Just as Monet recalled, Ismay said: "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! ”

Looking at Ismei's white hair, loose skin, and dim eyes, Monet couldn't help but feel a little sad, how could he still be high-spirited at this moment, 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. Ismay, do you have any plans for the future? Monet asked.

Monet didn't want other people's accusations, but comforted himself, which made Ismay's heart feel a little warm, so he muttered for a while and said: "Morgan, they kicked me out of the White Star Steamship Company, and I don't want to engage in business anymore, I just want to do something meaningful." So I set up a fund to find the missing seafarers, but it didn't work well, and they didn't believe me. ”

Then he changed his words and said: "Although I am no longer the chairman of the White Star Company, after all, the White Star was established by our Ismay family, so now I still have 15% of the shares in my hands, and if you have the heart, I can sell it to you at a low price." ”

"What? Why are you? Monet couldn't figure it out. Although in the Titanic time, the White Star Company suffered an unprecedented heavy blow, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, Monet can't understand why Ismay 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 Ismay family anymore, and those who want me to be cheap are a little unwilling, so I think you're the best choice. Ismay laughed.
