The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Little James Rolfe’s voice was a little louder, and the gentlemen who were talking politely around him couldn’t help but look sideways, and found that he was pulling Zhu Bin and talking about something. Mr. Governor’s eyes and radiant fat face were full of Proof, that thing must be important.

For a governor with a lot of power, grabbing a small role in the visiting group---even though he is relatively famous now, the excitement he showed was definitely not because of his heroic deeds on the Anti-Japanese War, but only because of his I don't know how thick the check is with me!Money!Chance!

A group of people intentionally or unintentionally bid farewell to the person they were chatting with, and pretended to be careless, strolled over to them, and each of them raised their ears to pay attention to the content of the two people's exchange.Well, you still have to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor. Although everyone wants to make a fortune, they can't be too gaffe.

Mr. Governor can be said to see all directions and listen to all directions. He can't hide the slightest disturbance in the banquet. He immediately stopped talking decisively and stared at Zhu Bin with fierce eyes. If you don't answer, I won't let you go. the meaning of.

Zhu Bin felt a chill in his heart, and his impression of the direct and blatant pursuit of money by American politicians and businessmen in this world deepened a lot.I just lured them like this with vague words, if they knew my overall plan, wouldn't they tear him into seventeen or eight pieces and eat him alive on the spot? !

Shrugging helplessly at James Rolfe Jr.: "Mr. Governor, I think the current environment is not suitable for talking about such an important topic. Why don't we make an appointment another day?"

Little James Rolfe hesitated for a moment, then shook his head violently: "We can't waste too much time, I think it will be fine after the banquet is over, I have a bottle of good wine that has been preserved for 50 years, I hope Mr. taste."

"It's an honor!" Zhu Bin nodded politely, raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, smiled and greeted the people around him who were paying attention, took another glass of wine calmly, and went to meet the next target.

I didn't hear any actual content, but the news that Zhu Bin was going to discuss the investment plan with Mr. Governor immediately spread among the guests. In the following time, Zhu Bin kept changing the communication partners like a revolving lantern.Tall and tall, he is fluent in English, relaxed and chatting naturally. He doesn't feel at all like those Chinese compatriots in Chinatown who are always clinging to their hands and feet.

After all, Zhu Bin didn't easily spit out something substantive, but he had already whetted the appetite of many people, and hurriedly handed out his business card, looking forward to further talks.

On the other side, Serena, who wore a black off-the-shoulder evening dress, became another shining star, with a tall and perfect figure, delicate and smooth skin, a glamorous and noble temperament, and a flawless manner and conversation like that of a top aristocrat. With a Cockney accent, she is like a princess who has received a strict orthodox education, not only eclipsing all the Hollywood actresses in the audience, but also attracting a lot of handsome bosses who think they have a little money.

However, what they learned surprised most people. This blond beauty who surprised them was actually Zhu Bin's assistant!Born in the British Jones family, which is said to be at least hundreds of years old, it is a family with a tradition of sailing and exploration. Later, they lived in seclusion on the coast of Southern California. They obviously have rich knowledge and powerful abilities, but they are willing to work as an assistant for that yellow boy. What's the situation? !

Jones is a common surname in the UK, ranking second in the country. No one knows how many so-called families have been born in the past 1000 years. They are engaged in sailing and exploration... It seems that they have been pirates or colonists for hundreds of years, and there are also explorers. Yes, but in fact they are all civilization plunderers, a group of greedy ghosts looking for treasures for the invading army behind!

Combining all kinds of information, many thoughtful people suddenly came to a conclusion that Zhu Bin, who appeared suddenly, might not be a small fisherman at all——Which fisherman can cultivate such a talent?This is simply an ancient family that used it as tentacles and tools to expand their careers. It was the wealthy and low-key Jones family who had never known where to hide in the real plan.And this beautiful Serena is most likely sent to supervise his direct line!

ah!Everything seems to make sense!They must have discovered some business opportunities in ancient Eastern China, so they introduced a spokesperson of Chinese descent to participate in the events there, successfully built their own reputation and prestige, integrated various forces to climb to the top, and cooperated with the powerful family Money and latent power rise in one fell swoop.

Human imagination can always create many absurd miracles, just like this guess about Zhu Bin's identity, someone said it casually from the beginning, it may be just a joke, but the speaker has no intention of listening to it, and the mind is full of thoughts. It's the big white chauvinist Yankees who don't believe in a yellow person in their bones, especially those born in their consciousness who still have ugly braids, dull faces, bad words, and even refuse to communicate with the civilized world, dirty, backward, and ignorant The descendants of the Qing Dynasty will do things that only white elites can do.

So they took it for granted to make up their minds about the whole thing. As Serena appeared by Zhu Bin's side longer and longer, she played an increasingly important role in his entire career, and even rumors of the absurdity of "fiancée" came out. After the rumours, most of them are convinced that they have not made a mistake in their judgment, and things are just like that!This is more reasonable.

If Zhu Bin knew that such a bizarre rumor would happen, he might be so shocked that his jaw would dislocate on the spot.But now, all his energy is used in communicating with Mr. Governor.

In the evening, James Rolfe Jr. really took out his collection of red wine to express his importance to Zhu Bin, and Zhu Bin naturally reciprocated, and happily shared some of his plans.

"Mr. Governor, you know that we are working on a brand-new shipping plan, and we need to manufacture many container ships and some other large-scale steel structure products. China does not have the manufacturing capacity of these products, so we have to seek The help of an industrialized country like the United States."

shipbuilding!Large steel products!OK!These things are all industrial products that can stimulate the economy!

Mr. Governor suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked with flickering eyes: "Then dear Zhu, what is the scale of your estimated demand?! Can you disclose it?"

Zhu Bin counted with his fingers: "The final number of freighters with a standard displacement of [-] tons may not be less than one hundred, and each giant offshore floating platform needs about [-] tons of steel. For six seats, plus the corresponding machinery Power-related supporting institutions..."

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Governor stood up uncontrollably, holding his hand and gasping for breath: "Mr. Zhu, please think about California! It is the closest to China, with excellent ports, shipbuilding And steel manufacturing capabilities, it's a better place for your plans than the East Coast."

My God, the average price of a hundred freighters is about 200 million US dollars a piece, and six [-]-ton platforms sound like a giant like the Empire State Building. Once this kind of thing is built, the entire California shipbuilding industry and The steel industry and manufacturing industry can all be revived, with an investment of at least several hundred million U.S. dollars!Bringing tens of thousands of jobs!

The population of California in this era was not too large, so the losses in the Great Depression were not the worst, but a tsunami broke the last straw and made the economy completely out of control. If Zhu Bin is willing to invest here , everything may get better, and his re-election as governor is not a problem at all.

Zhu Bin showed a embarrassed expression and said: "Mr. Governor, this is not something I can decide on my own. You know, our company also has directors from Britain, Germany, and France, and they also have the industrial strength to manufacture similar products. "

"No, no, no! Mr. Zhu, you don't understand." James Rolfe Jr. held on tightly, "The British and the French are unreliable, and only the Americans are worthy of your trust, aren't they?"

Zhu Bin nodded: "That's right. I grew up here too. You know, Chinese people always have special affection for their hometown. Personally, I also tend to be here. After all, there are still people living in California. Tens of thousands of overseas Chinese compatriots."

Mr. Governor was stunned for a moment, his eyes seemed to understand something, his face straightened, and he said, "Mr. Zhu, in fact, I personally agree with the existence of Chinese. Without them, there would be no big railway and today's California." , you can rest assured that I will come up with sufficient policies to protect their legitimate interests."

For the sake of his political achievements and his throne, politicians dare to tell any lies. Zhu Bin is very clear about this, so he doesn't believe in the governor's promise at all, but what he wants is such an attitude. As for whether we can do it, we will wait and see.

"Then, good!" Zhu Bin struggled a lot and made a decision, "As my personal investment, the six offshore platforms can be handed over to the shipyard on your site for manufacturing. As for the freighter... I think it can be done." Book ten first."

"You must be proud of today's decision." James Rolfe Jr. excitedly shook hands with Zhu Bin vigorously, and the two wine glasses collided, "Let's celebrate the start of a perfect cooperation. Cheers!"

"Cheers!" Behind the two high-raised wine glasses, there were two pairs of triumphant eyes flashing that they thought they had succeeded.
