In May 1916, Russell graduated from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

He did not choose to go back to New York directly, but stayed in Philadelphia for half a month.

Because of his studies in the past few years, he has made many friends, including Bob, several children of the Masaharu family and the financial family of Wall Street.

Although he finished his studies, the relationship could not be put down, because Russell was the eldest brother in the class and the number one self-employed person, so he invited more than a dozen classmates to play in Philadelphia for a few days.

After sending his classmates away, Russell turned around and came to the steel company.

Thomas Tai himself stood at the door and opened the car door for Russell, which was to tell the people in the company that the real boss is coming, and you all have to be careful.

Russell didn't immediately call a high-level meeting, but looked at the ledger first.

In the past few years, Thomas Tyre has reported the company's finances to Russell every quarter, and he has memorized it by heart, and when he flipped through the ledger, Thomaste's expression was very calm, and he did not show any clues.

It seems that he did not take bribes...... Russell flipped through the ledger and quickly counted the profit points.

It has been three and a half years since Russell took over the steel company, and the profit output in the first two years was not high, and then Russell asked Thomas to poach scientific researchers with high salaries and set up a research and development department and a sales department, which made profits better.

Throw away employee salaries, public relations consumption, carriage and horse expenses... Wait, the net profit from Russell's collapse has reached $7.6 million!

In the past five months of 16 years, the gross profit has reached 5.2 million, and the net profit has reached 2.3 million.

Because there is so much money needed for scientific research, many people in the company want to remove the R&D department.

Russell only told them one sentence, now is the industrial age, do not develop industry, do not walk in the forefront of industry, only the fate of being eliminated!

If anyone dares to mention the removal of the R&D department again, he will remove him first!

Two years ago, workers at the steel mills were so dissatisfied with their wages that they almost went on strike.

When Thomas told Russell, he immediately removed the executive manager of the steel company and replaced him with a man who was very managerial and set three standards for the workers when he came to power.

First, commute to and from work on time and on time.

Second, there is a performance bonus for overtime.

Third, rearrange the company's rules and regulations, everyone must strictly follow the system, and if there are violations, they will be removed immediately.

Even if you want to go to court and appeal, you can't find the door, why?

Because of the compliance with the rules and regulations, it has been written into the labor contract, and if you breach the contract first, the company will dismiss you, which is very reasonable.

Thomas Tai also went from the head of security to the position of deputy general manager of the company, and was in charge of the work of the security department and the factory canteen.

He was so grateful to Russell that he wanted to give him his life. If Russell hadn't spared him his life and given him a great opportunity, would he have been able to transform from a ruffian to a person of status in the whole of Philadelphia?

Thomas is not upper-class, but at least not at the bottom, and his current position is almost upper-middle.

"Tell them to wait for me in the conference room."

"Yes!"

When Thomas heard this, he immediately responded, it was really comfortable to work under the boss, as long as he listened to orders, and he was basically not needed for the rest of the things.

He called the executives to the conference room, and everyone whispered to each other.

Thomas went back to ask the boss to come over, and as soon as he entered the hallway, he heard a lot of noise in the conference room.

Looking back at the boss's expression, Thomas Ty immediately took two steps forward.

Directly pushed open the door of the conference room, and said in a deep voice: "Do you want to die?" Did it give you face? The boss is right outside the door, won't you be quieter? ”

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room turned their heads to look at Thomas Tyre, and swallowed a little nervously.

It's not that I'm afraid of Thomaste, it's that I'm afraid of the boss behind it.

Three years ago, the company was in the hands of Hockley, one of the top five families in Philadelphia, and then the Hockley family disappeared from Philadelphia, and even those executives gradually came out of the public eye over time.

However, those who were interested in the company had investigated and found that those executives who originally had shares in the company all withdrew from the company's shareholders' meeting, and after they left the company, they died at the longest of three months, and the shortest was only three days.

The way of death is also different, some people drown, some people commit suicide by swallowing guns, and some people are hit by cars......

Therefore, today's company executives are very afraid of the boss they have never met.

Russell walked slowly into the conference room and looked up at the crowd.

And the executives were also shocked, and looked at him with their mouths wide open in disbelief, they didn't expect the legendary 'Mr. Walker' to be so young!

When the Titanic sank, he may have only been in his twenties, which was the time when he was young and promising.

"Boss!"

The crowd shouted in unison.

Russell nodded, and took the seat of the master as Thomas pulled out his chair.

He lit a cigarette, turned to look at his acquaintance, and said, "Come to Mai?" ”

Laimai immediately got up and bowed his head, "Boss! ”

"You're doing a great job."

"Thank you, boss."

Two years ago, Russell transferred Laimai from New York to set up a sales department in order to expand the steel market.

After coming to Philadelphia, he not only completed the sales department, but also cooperated with many construction companies in Philadelphia, adding a lot of performance to the steel company.

"I came to the company for only two things, the first is to find out who is greedy for my money, and the second is that the steel company wants to expand its scale and open a branch factory in New York."

"Public relations manager Josel, have you used my money to raise college students all these years, are you still living a comfortable life?"

Josel, who was sitting in the corner of the conference room with his head bowed, was frightened and trembled when he heard this.

Footsteps were heard getting closer and closer, and Thomas Stair glared at him, grabbed him by the neck, and dragged him from his seat.

"You're greedy for money right under my nose?"

Russell tapped his fingers on the table, frowned, and said, "This is a company, not a street!" Attitude, pay attention to your attitude, Thomas Tyre. ”

"Yes, boss... I, I handed him over to the police station and sentenced him to thirty years in prison! ”

Russell waved his hand: "Get out." ”

“… Good. ”

Thomas Tyre grabbed Joseph and walked towards the outside of the conference room, but Josel didn't dare to refute, because he did raise a few college students outside the home and lived a luxurious life with the company's money...

It is much better to sentence him to thirty years than to kill him.

With this episode, the executives in the conference room looked at Russell with more respectful eyes.

Russell then asked them to talk freely about how to scale up the steel company.

Executives have also seized the key and scaled up?

Of course, it is not to expand the scale of the company, but to expand the scale of steel mills and production lines!

In this way, there are only two ways, one is to find places with good policies, such as Texas and Ohio...... But there is a downside to this, which is that it costs time and money. The second is to find abandoned factories in several nearby states that are about to go bankrupt or have gone bankrupt, which will save time and require less investment.

Russell waved them to do it, and before leaving, promoted Laimai to serve as the acting head of the public relations department, doubling his salary, doubling his quarterly bonus, and doubling his year-end bonus.

He just wants to tell executives that as long as they do things honestly and think about the company, Russell will give them a better life and status.

Thomas and Laimai sent Russell downstairs to leave, Laimai opened the car door, Russell stood at the door of the car, turned his head to look at the two and said, "You two are my henchmen, and you are the only one left in Philadelphia, understand?" ”

"Understood! Rest assured, boss, we will definitely supervise them to do good deeds. ”

Russell said, "Thomaste, you go back and tell those executives that I forgot to mention that their quarterly bonuses and year-end bonuses will also be doubled!" And at the end of each year, I take three percent of the steel company's profits and distribute them to workers and management. ”

"Yes!"

"Boss, you're so generous......"

Russell laughs: "Only then will they truly treat the company as their home." Laimai, you have recently contacted the president of the Steelworkers' Association, and you will be able to use it in the future. ”

"Okay."

At this moment, it is already evening, the red sun is setting in the west, and the colorful glow is colorful.

Country manor.

It was originally the residence of the Hockley family, and after Hockley's death, his wife sold the estate.

Russell took ownership of the estate for $1 for the safety of their mother and daughter.

And he didn't break his promise, sent the Hockley mother and daughter to Florida, and settled down.

The manor was not deserted, with four Thomas Tyre Security Company employees at the door, and twenty armed security guards stationed inside to protect Russell's family.

In 1913, Ruth became pregnant, and Russell's eldest son, named Kahn, was born in Niangen.

In 1914, Ruth became pregnant again, giving birth to her second son, Genna, at the beginning of 15.

It's May '16, and Ruth has just given birth to Russell's youngest daughter, Haley.

It's not that Russell doesn't have anything else to do, but Ruth's physique seems to be very sensitive, especially after giving birth, she is very obsessed with Russell's body, and whenever Russell comes back from vacation, Ruth can't stand it......

As soon as they entered, the four security guards stood up to say hello.

Russell nodded, drove into the manor, and parked the car in front of the building.

Two maids hurried over and opened the door for Russell.

"Sir, Madame cooked the steak you like tonight and made your favorite fried steak......"

Russell frowned: "Why don't you stop her." ”

"I... Madame was so welcoming that we couldn't stop it. ”

Russell waved his hand and motioned for them to stand down.

To be honest, Ruth's cooking skills are indescribable, when I was in New York, I basically went out to eat with Ruth, and then Amani came, and she cooked.

Later, Ruth had to show off her cooking skills, and Russell was of course looking forward to it, but she vomited as soon as she took a bite of the steak.

It's not unpalatable, it's very unpalatable.

The steak is best made, just frying it, but Ruth has to spread honey and lemon on top of the steak...... The taste of sweet or not, sour or sour, made him retch.

"Ruth! You don't want to cook, you just gave birth to a child, and you are not fit to work. ”

Ruth smiled from the kitchen, "It's okay, I like to cook." ”

At this time, Kahn, the eldest son of two and a half years old at the top of the stairs, staggered over in a jumpsuit.

"Daddy..."

Russell leaned over and picked him up and kissed him twice.

"Did you pee your pants?"

"I didn't! Genna peed two pants, and Hayley changed five..."

"What did you eat at noon?"

"Milk bread."

Russell frowned at the kitchen and said, "Ruth, how do you give Karn bread?" ”

"He likes to eat it, and he doesn't drink the vegetable soup I made for him myself. This kid is such a picky eater..."

Russell turned his head and whispered, "You said that the vegetable soup made by my mother is unpalatable." Hurry up! ”

Karn rolled his eyes and shouted, "Mom, Dad said the vegetable soup you made was unpalatable, let me hurry up." ”

Russell turned his head and was stunned, "Lack of beating!" ”

He pulled Karn to the ground and smacked him twice in the ass, causing Karn to cry as he hit him.

Ruth burst out of the kitchen in a rage, spatula in hand.

"What do you say? Kahn! ”

Karn cried and complained, "Daddy said the vegetable soup you made was unpalatable......"

"Dad said yes, but you can't say it, it's really bad!"

Ruth ran up and slapped Karn twice in the ass, looking at Russell with a flushed face.

"Stop cooking, wait for Amani to come back and talk."

Ruth looked down and said, "I told Amani and Leah to go shopping, and they ate outside." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Daddy, guess what... It's obvious what I mean. ”

Russell stared at Karn, "There's a kid here." ”

"Don't care about him, let him go to the guard to play."

The Captain of the Guard is the captain of the security team that protects the manor, and the title of the position, not the name of the person.

Ruth was about to pounce when she was interrupted by Russell.

"Wait! Maybe we should go back to New York, start packing now, and we'll leave tomorrow. ”

Ruth was stunned, "So fast..."

"If you're not in a hurry, maybe we can wait a few more days."

"Daddy......"

Looking at Ruth's eyes, as well as her expression, Russell was in a dilemma.

Eventually, Karn was left to the maid and told her to take her son to play with the Guard, while Russell and Ruth played a game with a pyrotechnic twist.

That's probably why Ruth gave birth to three children in four years, and Russell really couldn't resist her passion.

Two days later.

Russell moved his family to Brooklyn, New York, accompanied by twenty security guards, eight servants, and Amani's mother and daughter, driving two transport trucks and four Fords.

At this time, Brooklyn was already under construction, and it can be said that thousands of high-rise buildings were rising from the ground, except for the factories and buildings in the industrial area, which were not moved, and other streets and areas were under the planning of New York City.

After Russell's construction firm made nearly $3 million in three projects in Boston, Russell suggested that Mississido and Lefrack come to New York.

They also meant this, and it happened that a leader entered the New York construction market, and at first there were many troubles, which Tommy came to solve.

Now Russell's small construction group has thirteen members, with a total fund of 100 million US dollars, as long as there are connections in Brooklyn, they can take on the work as they want, there is no project they can't eat!
