It's been another year, and Los Angeles has been very different.

Situ Nan sat in the car, looking out from time to time, the street became wider, there were more cars, there were more people, there were more shops on both sides of the street, there were more customers coming in and out, and people's clothes seemed to be fashionable.

Many of the people who went shopping were women and children, and there were many fewer men, and the Irish workers who were usually drunk and drunk on the side of the road in Situ Nan's impression did not know whether they had recruited workers into the factory or joined the army.

Situ Nan deliberately let the car go around the Chinatown neighborhood, and in the past two years, the number of Chinese in Los Angeles has gradually increased, and the only ones who can compare with them in numbers are Italians. There are also many more native Mexicans.

Chinese immigrants, Italian immigrants, and newly-born Mexicans make up the fastest-growing ethnic group in Los Angeles, which together make up 70 percent of the Los Angeles population, except that the original white population has been reduced to less than 30 percent, and these whites can maintain a certain political advantage until the new immigrants have a foothold in politics.

To Situ Nan's gratification, this advantage is gradually weakening, and the current population of Los Angeles is a bit similar to the kind of various races mixed in Situ Nan's previous life, and no one has an absolute advantage, and it is a real city of immigrants.

Industrial construction requires a large population, local young people are recruited into the army, immigrants have become the target of the local government, and in order to speed up the construction of the city, Los Angeles officials have temporarily defended various racial discrimination laws.

The police, who used to hang themselves on the streets, are now too lazy to interrogate the new immigrants, so even Chinese and Italians without legal status dare to go out on the streets generously. Of course, they usually prefer to stay in the streets they are familiar with, such as Chinatown.

Most immigrants became workers in urban construction. It's not unreasonable to describe them as migrant workers, because they are bankrupt farmers in their hometowns, and in order to survive, they have to cross the ocean to Los Angeles.

In fact, educated immigrants or skilled immigrants are more popular, and they generally find more decent jobs.

The Chinese-American trading company is now the largest "human trafficker" of Chinese immigrants to the United States, and thousands of Chinese farmers come to California every year on the ships of the Chinese-American trading company. Before entering the U.S. society, each person undergoes a two-month training in a Chinese-inhabited area of the U.S.-China trading company. Only then can you enter the factories and shops under the William Consortium.

In terms of immigrant education, Situ Nan was very dead, not only because gangs such as An Liangtang would interfere. It has also invested heavily in the construction of a number of simple vocational schools.

Because of Eleanor's relationship, priests and volunteers from human rights organizations such as "Friends of Women" have helped in this regard. Some zealous churches sometimes come to spread the glory of the Lord to the newcomers, and fool some Chinese workers who have never seen the world into a daze.

Situ Nan didn't say anything when he found out. Although it was not the result he expected, sometimes he was not good at objecting. Both sides are just taking what they need. Because the most important thing is to let people survive, and then think about what is yellow and white-hearted.

In fact, he was not at all worried, at least for the next few decades, that the stubborn Chinese tradition was definitely not something that could be changed casually by a god-nagging priest.

"What a change in Los Angeles! I don't even know the way! Lin Yimin, who was sitting next to Situ Nan, said with emotion. After being sent to study in the East, he hadn't been back to Los Angeles for several years. Now it can be regarded as "returning home".

Situ Nan nodded and said, "Yimin, give you a few days off, go back and spend more time with your mother!" Filial piety. Buy more things for the old people or something, I just have Han Gan with me. ”

??

After a little amusement around the center of Los Angeles, the car slowly drove into Spring Street in the center of Los Angeles, which is the financial center of Los Angeles and one of the two major financial centers on the West Coast of the United States, the other in San Francisco.

Spring Street is the busiest place in Los Angeles, with high-rise buildings rising one after another. Bank. Hotels, large companies are scattered on both sides of Spring Street.

Situ Nan saw a lot of his own industry. Wells Fargo, Bethlehem Steel Company, California Branch. A number of backbone enterprises such as Stoney Food Company, California Petroleum Company, and Meihua Trading Company are all located on Spring Street, which can be said to be Situ Nan's old nest. He saw it in his eyes, smiled in his heart, and was very proud.

"Los Angeles, my territory!" Situ Nan sighed in his heart. It's a pity that time is limited, and Situ Nan can't go in and inspect them one by one.

Spring Street is known as the Wall Street of the West, with more than 20 branches of large financial institutions set up here, and a number of the most influential banks in Los Angeles are concentrated, in addition to Wells Fargo, Crocker Bank, Southwest Pacific Bank, Mortgage Guarantee Corporation and other domestic banks in the United States, as well as Lloyds Bank, Barclays Bank, Bank of California and other foreign banks in the United Kingdom.

These banks had deep pockets, and their buildings became the landmarks of Spring Street, with a variety of architectural styles mixed in, and eventually the Los Angeles style gradually formed.

Of course, the competition was fierce, especially after Wells Fargo bought the original Parker Bank, and then made a series of moves, swallowing up a number of small banks in Los Angeles and transforming them into Wells Fargo branches.

Wells Fargo's aggressive move put pressure on other banks, and at the same time, they were helpless, and when faced with the sudden rise of Wells Fargo, they could only watch Wells Fargo take control of the financial industry in Los Angeles step by step.

Situ Nan is very satisfied with the expansion of Wells Fargo in Los Angeles, and as for San Francisco, another big city in California, it is believed that as the headquarters of Wells Fargo, Wells Fargo's control over San Francisco's financial industry is only stronger than that of Los Angeles.

As soon as Situ Nan walked into the Los Angeles branch of Wells Fargo, he saw a resolute and resolute figure, and couldn't help but step forward excitedly.

"Lao He!" Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Here we are." He Wenxiu tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but his appearance was too ugly, so he had to give up immediately, and he regained his usual appearance of not smiling enough.

"We had a good harvest last time, so I'll let you see what we've achieved later." He Wenxiu said.

"Okay! If it weren't for the fact that there was a lot going on in New York, I would have been back a long time ago. I was careful for you at the beginning. Situ Nan said.

The two walked side by side towards the underground vault.

I forgot to introduce, the predecessor of the Los Angeles branch of Wells Fargo was the Los Angeles Pike Bank, a few years ago, the Italian banker Giannini once tried to annex the Pike Place Bank under the guise of the poor man's bank, but unfortunately it was inserted by Situ Nan, and the Pike Bank finally fell into the hands of Situ Nan, and at the beginning of this year, it was merged into the Wells Fargo Bank and became the most important branch of the Wells Fargo Bank. More than one-third of the currency, foreign exchange, and precious metals are housed in the underground vault of the "Pike Building".

Wells Fargo's vice president and president of the Los Angeles branch, Ola? Eugene? Monita entertained Situ Nan and Ho Wenxiu and showed them around the bank's vaults.

"Husband William, husband He, the front is our No. 1 vault, and the last time the security consulting company deposited zĂ i our gold here was in front." Ola? Eugene? While leading the way in front, Moneta introduced the insurance measures of the vault to Situ Nan, and Situ Nan nodded frequently after listening.

He Wenxiu still didn't have any expression, but he looked a little excited.

This is the second time he has walked here, and a year ago he personally shipped the gold of the Chinese in the middle of the mountains back to Los Angeles and deposited it in Pike Bank.

"Shhh Situ Nan swallowed a mouthful of saliva because there was a pile of gold in front of him, neatly stacked, like a pyramid. Each piece of gold shimmers with a golden yellow luster, which makes people's hearts flutter.

In his previous life and this life, it was the first time for Situ Nan to see so much gold, he was very excited, and he couldn't help but step forward to touch those gold bars, which were very heavy and tempting!

He Wenxiu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly when he saw Situ Nan's lost appearance, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled! The smile was a little heavy, because the pile of gold in front of him was once stained with the blood of his predecessors, and behind the unknown, a group of Chinese who arrived in the United States early were almost all gone because of this gold!

No one can resist the temptation of gold, just as a woman cannot refuse the allure of diamonds.

Situ Nan's gaffe is also normal, after all, no matter how big the number on paper is, it is always more direct and convincing than the pile of gold dangling in front of him.

In fact, the value of this gold is less than a fraction of Situ Nan's wealth, but the shock in his heart cannot be measured by numbers.

"How much does this gold weigh?" Situ Nan asked.

tons, worth $4.86 million. "Ora? Eugene? Monita quickly reported a figure, which was a huge sum of money and the largest deposit ever received by Parker Bank since its establishment, and he couldn't help but be unfazed.

Speaking of which, Ola? Eugene? Monita looked back at He Wenxiu, who was suddenly escorting several trucks to Pike Bank with a group of security consultancy security guards.

Start, Ola? Eugene? Did Moneta think there was a gang of tough bandits? But I didn't expect the other party to send a huge amount of gold.

After that, Ola? Eugene? Monita began to pay attention to the unknown security consulting company, and the more he knew, the more frightened he became, especially the Chinese man named He Wenxiu, who always had a cold face and eyes like knives. Eugene? Monita really didn't want to deal with each other.

Fortunately, he later learned that the security consulting company and Parker Bank were the property of his big boss Situ Nan, so he was a lot more relieved.

"Well, a few million dollars, a lot indeed!" Situ Nan nodded with satisfaction. I thought to myself, with this money, it is estimated that the plan on the Nanyang side will go smoothly.
