Francis knew that Situ Nan was interested in shipbuilding, and if he took the San Diego shipyard by himself, Situ Nan would be very unhappy, because almost the best shipbuilding base on the West Coast was taken by himself. (The fastest update speed is on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info) But can you swallow it completely? Aren't you afraid that Situ Nan will stumble behind his back?

In the past two years, Francis watched the establishment of the California Iron and Steel Company, and the development of Los Angeles has been rapid, with steel, petrochemical, machinery manufacturing, food production, and various light industries represented by lighters and razors that serve the war effort in full bloom and prosperity.

With the development of industry and the improvement of transportation, an urban agglomeration around Los Angeles is on the rise and has become the engine of the western economy. More and more resources, talents, and money began to slowly pour into the hot land of Southern California around Los Angeles.

At the same time, it has also led to the development of real estate, and European immigrants, Asian smugglers, and Mexican immigrants have all poured into California, causing a tight supply of housing, and low prices in Los Angeles have risen a lot.

Urban sprawl is inevitable, but California is a sparsely populated state that doesn't need to build high-rise buildings, but instead is a garden-like residential area along the highway.

California's rapid manufacturing industry is mainly concentrated in Southern California around Los Angeles, and San Francisco's development is also remarkable, but the momentum has completely let Los Angeles compare.

As for Saramento, the capital of California, since the gold rush subsided, the economic development has not been able to continue the myth of the gold rush era, although the development is not bad, but the gap with San Francisco and Los Angeles is becoming more and more obvious.

Francis has made a detailed analysis of this, and he believes that the biggest reason for this result may be Situ Nan.

Although Situ Nan rarely shows up, and there are not many people in California who know Situ Nan, Francis still stubbornly believes that Situ Nan on the other end of the phone that has happened thousands of miles away in California in the past few years has a great relationship, and even he is the behind-the-scenes controller of this qiē.

He invested huge sums of money in heavy industry in Southern California, established a steel complex in the Fontana area, built machinery manufacturing in Ontario, San Berdino and other areas around Fontana, and then bolted these large and small satellite cities around Los Angeles through the Guò railroad to form a close-knit industrial cluster with a division of labor.

At the same time, through the port of Los Angeles, the products of large and small factories can be exported to all parts of the world by sea. Francis knew that Situ Nan had always cooperated very closely with the British side, and had provided a large number of supplies to Britain and France over the years. And these materials are produced in factories around Los Angeles.

It is worth mentioning that since the discovery of oil, the originally unknown city of Long Beach has suddenly become a hot fertile land, and major oil companies have tried to rush to enter it, but unfortunately most of the oil fields in Long Beach have been controlled by Western oil companies.

But even that couldn't stop the enthusiasm of Eastern Oil, which followed the development of oil fields and refineries in Long Beach to try to get a piece of the pie.

The most fierce of these is naturally Standard Oil of California, a subsidiary of Standard Oil Systems and Occidental Petroleum's main competitor in California.

However, to Situ Nan's gratification, in California, Situ Nan's blessed land, the Western Petroleum Company resolutely cut off the black hands of other oil companies, because this is their territory and will never allow outsiders to interfere.

Although Occidental Petroleum has moved its headquarters to Houston, it has not only not relaxed its grip on the thriving land of California, but has become more watchful. So in California, Occidental Petroleum has been holding back Standard Oil in California.

Not only in the Long Beach area, but also in the San Francisco area, Occidental Petroleum has established a well-established layout of the oil industry, but is also preparing to actively march into the inland states. Carson, the capital of Nevada under the Sierra Nevada, is Occidental Petroleum's next target, where they plan to build a large refinery.

Not only is Carson rich in oil, but it's also close to San Francisco and easily accessible to transportation, making it a must-stop route for Americans to enter California decades ago.

Such a strategic point that Western oil companies could not abandon. For Occidental Petroleum, the occupation of Carson City will not only firmly control the oil market in Northern California, but also open up the oil market in the western states.

This is what Francis learned from his old friend Henda, who was a friend of the last Christmas? Brown with his wife Jasmine? Brown returned to California, so the two met.

Also meeting with the local bot? Ford Laus, Bot, is also one of the founders and majority shareholders of Occidental Petroleum. In the past two years, his family has gradually shifted from mining and ranching to manufacturing and real estate.

He and Hantec worked together as Vice President of Occidental Petroleum and General Manager of the California Branch, overseeing California's oil business.

These two people are the left and right arms of Situ Nan's petroleum business, because because of their strong help, Situ Nan can have more time to plan other industries.

For example, the aircraft manufacturing industry is one of Situ Nan's major goals. Although it has only just started, after getting the Lelan father and son to join, Situ Nan believes that the development level of the aircraft manufacturing industry in Los Angeles will be greatly improved.

Speaking of Francis and Handa, when the three brothers got together last year, they couldn't help but mention Situ Nan, but it was Situ Nan enjoying the wind and snow and beauty in distant Niagara.

From the mouths of Henders and Bot, Francis knew more about Situ Nan, and he still remembered that Henders said when he left, "The luckiest thing in my life is to meet Stoney, without him I would not be where I am today, although I am not bad at the original."

But following him all these years, I found that there seemed to be a kind of magic in that young man, as if he could see through the future, and many things seemed to be unable to escape those black eyes.

I don't know how far he can go in the future, but judging by what he has done along the way, it will be a height that we can't imagine. And the Brown family, who has always stood by his side, I believe will also become a place for others to look up to. ”

It was this passage of Handar that made Francis think for a long time, he was one of the few people who knew Situ Nan's status in the Western Petroleum Company, but he didn't expect that Handa, the president of the glamorous Western Petroleum Company, would respect a young man so much.

Francis: The three of them have known each other for a long time, and when they were younger, they had mixed up in California and developed together. A few years ago, Francis was complacent about his shipbuilding career, because he was the best of the three.

But now they have been surpassed by two friends, the reason is very simple, they met Situ Nan, and they also partnered to develop an oil company. It's a lot smoother than running the boat business yourself, and the Strauss family behind Bot also runs other businesses.

Now it's not just oil companies, but Southern California cities around Los Angeles are thriving. It's like a weed that grows up overnight, or like a grassland that is inadvertently sparked by a little spark, and it's more like a god casting a spell on this land, and his supreme mana has turned this land into a super hot construction site all of a sudden.

Francis once thought that Situ Nan really had any mana, otherwise how could the development of Southern California, centered on Los Angeles, soar almost at the speed of deepening?
