    "You want wealth!" Lawrence looked at Wang Xueqian's indifferent expression and couldn't help but lament in his heart. The concept of money by rich people is really annoying.  Wealth?  Wang Xueqian thought about it and thought that he didn't seem to have the opportunity to make money recently. He had many opportunities to make money in the Republic of China. For example, he could use his position to make money and simply turn the government's money into his own.  It's a pity that after blocking the British pound in Europe, he has lost interest in these small fights.  However, the bargaining chip used to block the pound was the war bonds issued by Britain during the European War.  At that time, Wang Xueqian had a lot of war bonds in his hands, but unfortunately he no longer had them.  They had all been exchanged for gold and pounds. If the Zionist Congress gave the British another one, Wang Xueqian, who was very imaginative, suddenly became excited: "Whoever has British war bonds in their hands, I will buy them at a high price." Lawrence was almost frightened.  , he felt that his definition of wealth was a bit low.  At least that's not the case in Wang Xueqian's eyes: "ThatMr. William, it's not the pound." "Then it's the franc! The franc has depreciated sharply recently. It seems that the French's economic recovery has not been effective. If it is planned properly, it can  "It's a good profit opportunity." "No, Franc." Lawrence said to himself that the Jews have a good impression of France and cannot do anything to harm the French.  "The Deutsche Mark is not worth a fortune. Tell me, what is it? It can't be US dollars, right?" Wang Xueqian looked at Lawrence with bright eyes. From this point of view, Lawrence wanted to agree with Wang Xueqian's way of making big money.  The bottomless style is the same as the Jews.  As for why Wang Xueqian didn't expect it to be the Republic of China well, he held a high position in the Republic of China and was in charge of the territory of two provinces, but he wanted to use his power for personal gain and make 10 million pounds.  This is possible, but it is not worth spending a lifetime of youth.  Ten million pounds is equivalent to one hundred million oceans.  Lao Cao's family worked hard and the whole family worked together. After so many years, they accumulated a net worth of 50 million.  This goal is too tiring and tortuous for Wang Xueqian, and it is not worth a try, at least according to his standards.  "But Lawrence was confused. He didn't want to bite the British man's thigh. He didn't have the courage.  But as a member of the Zionist Congress, he naturally knew that the two largest Jewish families in Europe had united with Wall Street's capital tycoons to severely defraud the British.  Unfortunately, he could only hear about it, and he was not qualified to join the specific plan.  Jacob, the old boy, may know more. Unfortunately, Jacob has a much higher status than Lawrence. He is also the leader of the consortium in the United States. Even if he is a puppet, he is still the boss.  What surprised him was that Wang Xueqian not only knew about it, but also seemed to be involved.  This made his heart turbulent. It seemed that he had always thought that he had overestimated Wang Xueqian, but in fact he still underestimated Wang Xueqian's strength.  Wang Xueqian relaxed into a comfortable sitting posture, looking tired and unable to cheer up, and said lazily: "Okay, what exactly is going on?" "WellMr. William, let's set our expectations."  It should be lower and more down-to-earth. For example, the goal should be 100 million US dollars.¡± As he spoke, even Lawrence felt like he was throwing garlic at his feet and fell down from the dozens of stairs, his face still not touching the ground.  .  As a member of the wealthy class, it is definitely difficult for him to treat US$100 million as a small sum of money.  But he had to explain it this way, because the big boss John Rockefeller Sr. thought so, and John Sr.¡¯s ally Wang Xueqian could also think so.  When he finally finished speaking, he took a deep breath and stared at Wang Xueqian with a blurred look.  But Wang Xueqian was unmoved. Instead, he nodded lightly and said: "It's a sum of money to be divided between two families. It's a pity that this money was taken from Wall Street and invested in the airport. Wait I don't think something is right." Of course something is wrong.  Well, Wang Xueqian was planning to hoard land in several cities in the United States. Later, Old John found out. This old man is definitely a master who can strike faster than a thief.  After taking a look, they quickly occupied large areas of land that could be used for airport development in the suburbs of major cities such as Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and Boston.  What is left to Wang Xueqian is the kind of Los Angeles that is not on the stage (Los Angeles in the 1920s was just a little bigger than a small town), such as Atlanta (a remote small place in the middle of the country, if it weren¡¯t for the interchange station with the main railway artery, there would be no place at all.  Worth investing), such as Houston (a barren land on the edge of the Texas desert) The only city that can be called a big city is New York. Wang Xueqian purchased a large piece of land that was originally the JFK Airport.  In fact, it's all tidal flats and doesn't cost much.  But the sad thing is that this airport is destined to not see much improvement in the next 20 to 30 years.Or even longer.  The reason is simple. If there are no European flights to and from New York, will JFK Airport still be the same world-class airport?  But it¡¯s not that there are no planes crossing the Atlantic. Soon there will be a group of madmen who will unswervingly embark on this path of no return for this goal.  ?Some people succeeded, some people failed.  Success only proves that he is a hero.  As for the ones that failed, not to mention, they must have fallen somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.  Even if I successfully flew across the Atlantic Ocean, I would still use it.  Because pilots can fight for their lives, but they don't tell passengers that they will probably fall into the Atlantic Ocean and feed the fish after boarding the plane, right?  For a long time, Wang Xueqian almost forgot about this incident.  He did not expect that during the Washington meeting, he made a very unreliable land hoarding business.  Although what is sold is barren, where the future trends lie, the potential is very amazing.  He had indeed almost forgotten about the airport, but someone was watching!  Old John is suffocating in the United States. He has only two goals left in life. The first and most important is to keep Morgan under his body. This is impossible at the moment (I can¡¯t see that day, the old man is very likely to  The other one is to live to be a hundred years old, this one is being worked on Apart from these two goals, charity and the like are just pastimes.  But recreation depends on the situation. The most suitable pastime for him is to make money, more money than Morgan.  When he was bored, he just stared at Wang Xueqian's every move.  Born in the naval battle in Shanghai, the aircraft created a miracle in the history of war. This miracle can be an opportunity for him, a good opportunity for the aircraft industry to take off.  Of course, as a capitalist, he is more inclined to use other people's money to make money for himself.  He was reluctant to even use his own bank savings, and he went to the extreme.  This old man has already identified Wang Xueqian. He is young and knowledgeable, but the key is his sharp vision.  Old John knows very well that the United States is no longer an era where big trusts swept everything. The advent of the technological era has caused all kinds of new things to impact Americans' concepts.  The mergers and acquisitions he used to create Standard Oil are now outdated.  Energy, coal, railways, steel, finance mergers in these industries are horizontal mergers.  Rely on powerful alliances to crush competitors in the same industry.  In the future, in the United States, these industries will still be able to provide huge profits for consortiums.  But what should be allocated has been allocated, and no one of the major consortiums can do anything to anyone.  Just like Wang Xueqian, no matter how rich he is, he cannot enter the steel industry. Morgan will not sell it, Rockefeller will not sell it, and Mellon will not sell it.  Carnegie's steel empire was completely divided. Those who should eat meat were already full; those who should drink soup would not vomit it out. This is the reason.  So in the next few years, or even more than ten years, what will the consortium rely on to develop?  It can only be a vertical merger. The core of the consortium has changed from a sub-level enterprise to a bank. Through financial means, it can find its vision to enter a new industry with huge development potential.  ??Ten years ago, this industry with huge potential might have been automobiles.  But in the next ten years or even decades, especially Wang Xueqian¡¯s actions gave him a very good confirmation, Old John immediately felt that the possibility of airplanes was very high.  And he happens to have Boeing, which is jointly controlled by Wang Xueqian, although Boeing is still a small company.  A low-end workshop-style enterprise that relies on producing catapult seaplanes for the navy.  It is difficult to make even one million US dollars in profit in a year. It is a perfect model template for a small and medium-sized enterprise.  Of course, there are other reasons, including the increasingly stingy U.S. Navy who wants to get orders, especially aircraft orders that are not valued, or the role of aircraft in wars that are deliberately ignored. Getting the military to Boeing is  It's really not easy.  Even Old John's face is useless, because the Navy does not need so many aircraft.  So, Boeing is faced with a dilemma, find another way?  Or stick to military orders?  Simply, Old John decided to open the airport.  There is no trace of the plane. Is it possible to successfully open the airport?  This might baffle other people, but it didn't baffle him. The approval for the construction of the airport had already been obtained for almost two years. City councils everywhere did not dare to make things difficult for old John.  Even Wang Xueqian basically had it at his fingertips once the Pan American Consortium appeared.  To develop large-scale land-based aircraft, we have to build airports.  With the approval of several large-scale plots of land that are too barren for raising cattle, it can be turned into an aviation hub in the blink of an eye, and a large amount of capital can be obtained from the capital market for development.  This is the principle of spending shareholders' money to build your own industry.  But Old John in the United States immediately discovered a problem. He lacked an advocacy voice, and this voice must be welcomed in the United States, have a certain degree of influence, and be able to cause a sensation.  American flightNo matter how good they are, no matter how good the flight companies are, they are all committed to the development of high-speed aircraft, or seaplanes.  Seaplanes, in particular, are simply the mortal enemy of land-based airplanes. Seaplanes only need wide waters of rivers and lakes to complete airport construction without maintenance.  In fact, the United States is also debating these two issues. On the one hand, it is believed that seaplanes are the most economical to use; and the design of ships and the concept of airplanes will be safer; the other is more nonsense, because seaplanes  The technology is mature.  The first thing Old John needs to think about is to shoot down the seaplane so as not to affect Boeing's development route.  Boeing will never develop into a seaplane manufacturing company from the beginning to the end. This is absolutely not allowed.  Otherwise, all the land in Old John's hands would fall into his own hands.  The plots of land Wang Xueqian bought were priced at cabbage prices because those places were too remote.  Even the later JFK Airport, before the airport was built, was a treasure trove for duck hunting enthusiasts in New York.  Although it has become private land, hunting is still allowed. The sellers of this kind of land are simply out of their mind to charge high prices.  But the land plots Old John purchased were all around the urban areas of big cities, and they were not cheap!  ¡°It¡¯s best if this voice is made by a seemingly unrelated person, and the most suitable one is Wang Xueqian.  Therefore, this interview in The Times was more for commercial purposes than Americans who were concerned about the world situation and came to the Republic of China to interview a local warlord.  "It is feasible to convert it to civilian use, but has the problem of the engine been solved?" "The team at the McKinley Power Research Institute has discovered a high-power star propeller engine and completed the technical improvement of turbocharging. If everything goes well, this will  This engine can allow an aircraft taking off from 6 ground to fly at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters. Next is the research on the fully metal-enclosed aircraft structure, but the news from the factory is all good," Lawrence explained seriously.  For him, the obscure knowledge really made things difficult for him for a long time.  Wang Xueqian was surprised and said that this is half the battle. As long as a reasonably designed aircraft is equipped with this kind of engine, it is a bit excessive to fly across the sky, but it is definitely a major technological improvement.  "Then there will be almost no interference from the clouds." "That's right, sir. The boss thinks so too, although he has never flown by plane, not now and never in the future." Lawrence replied.  "Fear of death is a common problem among the elderly." Wang Xueqian spared no effort to ridicule.  Lawrence immediately corrected him with fear and fear: "Sir, this is treating life kindly." Wang Xueqian despised Lawrence's actions with a roll of his eyes. Your boss is not here, so he can't see you trying so hard to flatter him. Is that the case?  Lawrence said: It is necessary.  Because he couldn't trust Wang Xueqian's character. If this man snitched in front of Old John, he would definitely be the unlucky one.  Facing reporters again, Wang Xueqian first raised his head and asked Lawrence: "What I just said is no longer necessary, is it?" "Keep it, anyway, it is good to scare those arrogant senior generals in the military. It is also idle."  Lawrence responded with a smile.  The U.S. military, especially the Navy, has also tested the harm done by aircraft to warships.  In fact, as Wang Xueqian said, aircraft are fully capable of sinking battleships.  But there is a prerequisite: the speed of the aircraft must be fast enough, and the battleship must not have the ability to release air.  The decision-makers of the U.S. Navy stubbornly believed that as long as two large-caliber machine guns were pointed at the sneak attack aircraft, the battle would become a drama of warships dismembering the aircraft, and there would even be no other possibility.  At this time, Peter, who was sitting opposite Wang Xueqian, had his nose red with anger. This senior reporter from the Times Newspaper Group felt twisted in his heart. He kept shouting in his heart: I am a reporter, I am the reporter, and I am the uncrowned king as promised.  Where has the authority gone?  Wang Xueqian is very familiar with the task of making newspapers interesting to the ordinary American people while at the same time promoting the convenience and safety of airplanes. According to the version of the story meeting, he can say seven paragraphs in one breath without repeating each sentence.  This paragraph is guaranteed to hit the sweet spot of Americans living in the era of pseudo-technology.  Wang Xueqian didn¡¯t even have a draftsman, so he started bragging: ¡°Speaking of the future of airplanes and the relationship between ordinary people, let¡¯s tell a story first.¡± Senior reporter Pete interrupted: ¡°Mr. Wang, is this story true?  " Wang Xueqian turned his face and snorted coldly. He felt that Peter was too ignorant. Can a story really be called a story?  On the contrary, Lawrence was elated. He knew what Wang Xueqian was going to do. In American society, where the average educational level has not even reached middle school, ordinary people are simply irresistible to the attraction of stories. He raised his fists in cooperation and shouted excitedly: "Sir,  Come on." (To be continued.) 8
