[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes

When Karl took the train to Pittsburgh this time, he obviously felt the warmth and warmth of the familiar people. It was also a noble box, and this time he was finally left out in the cold.The ladies and ladies passing by no longer seduced Karl with ambiguous and intimate eyes, and no noble gentlemen dared to come to "disturb" Karl.

There will be troughs at the peaks of life, and no one can escape this fate.Carl was not surprised that there would be such a result, and Carl couldn't even feel emotional.When the victims of the Titanic needed an outlet for their emotions, Congress successively involved the Morgan consortium and the Pittsburgh Steel Company. hands up.

The smile on the corner of Karl's mouth turned cold when he thought about it. These politicians are really crazy enough for power. Do they really think that the financial industry and heavy industry are a group of clowns around them, and they can eat whatever they want?Even the most basic start-up capital is not there, what to talk about profiting from it.

As long as it is handled well, everything will turn around.Carl slowly thought about the countermeasures, his mood improved a little, and then he couldn't help laughing out—the memory left by the original Carl has gradually merged with his personality, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about Mr. Henry, this kind of The son's concern for his father is not what transference can do.

"It seems that I really want to be filial to you." Carl shook his head with a smile and sighed.

After getting enough sleep yesterday, Karl is now lying in bed without any sleepiness. He took out his hardcover notebook to record the affairs of the steel plant on the agenda, and set the top priority to deal with.No matter what the real intention of Congress is to hit the Pittsburgh Steel Works for the same reason after hitting the Morgan Consortium, the result of this matter can only be that the steel plants bear the blame of the families of the victims before they prove their innocence.

Karl knew Mr. Henry's character. He was a strong and successful business man with a forward-looking vision and good interpersonal skills.But Mr. Henry is an aristocrat, and his origin and education also have a great influence on his character—Mr. Henry is not a human rights advocate, he looks down on common people, and it is impossible to bow to them.

Now that Congress has already placed the responsibility on the steel plant, what Carl has to do is to fight back. The first thing he has to do is to lower his stance to prove that his steel is excellent, and then stand with the victims of the Titanic to drag Congress into the water— — On American soil, how far can these politicians go without the support of the plutocrats?Even the sponsorship money for their elections can't be raised!

Mr. Henry suddenly uttered shocking words, and Karl felt that it would be better for him to deal with it before his father arrived at the steel factory.But before that, Carl needs to make sure he can use the steelworks employees.Recalling Mr. Henry's subordinates in the steel plant from his memory, Carl was relieved. This steel plant is not a cooperative, it belongs to Mr. Henry himself.In this way, Karl, who has the status of heir, must be able to act much more easily.

After letting go of this layer of worries, Carl's whole mood relaxed a lot. Challenges and opportunities coexisted. He only hoped that God would give him face and let the matter be resolved in a satisfactory form.Carl closed his eyes and waited quietly for the time to pass. When he arrived in Pittsburgh, he was stunned. Mr. Lawrence, who had just been separated for a few days, was actually waiting at the Pittsburgh Steel Works.

"Carl, good evening. It's just in time for you to come. Mr. Julian said that Mr. Henry is still in Italy, and he can't be in charge of selling the shares of the steel factory." Mr. Lawrence spoke very calmly, and he took out a flat contract and handed it over to Carl.

Carl didn't reject Mr. Lawrence's proposal outright, which was a timely help—no one wants to get involved with the Pittsburgh Steel Company, as if they were brought to hell by their Hawley family. More than 100 tons of gold mines are produced. With such a backing, as long as Karl agrees to cooperate, it will be a huge profit, but how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?The result of the pie falling from the sky is being crushed to death by the pie.

Carl looked carefully at the contract, and the above terms were indeed not made by a fool who "desires everything for love". There are advantages, but the money paid is also huge. The most important thing is that this is a contract between two parties. .That is to say, after the Brown family joined the shares of the steel factory, the smelting of gold mines produced by the Brown family was also transferred to the steel factory. .

"I personally think this contract is very good." Carl handed the contract to Julian who was already standing behind him and acted as a secretary, but in the end he chose to leave the choice of this matter to Mr. Henry himself, "Sorry, Julian, I never get involved in my father's steel plant, this time I just came back to visit my father."

Seeing Carl's innocent smile, both Julian and Lawrence just wanted to curse: "You're lying to a fool!"

"Julian, arrange Mr. Lawrence to the guest room on the second floor." Carl said with a sincere smile, and he took the initiative to shake hands with Mr. Lawrence as an English gentleman: "Lawrence, see you tonight, I have something else Things need to be done."

After finishing his speech, Carl strode towards the work area where the "Outsiders are not allowed" sign was hung without saving Mr. Lawrence's time. He knew that there was a staircase leading to the R&D department from here.Compared with the ups and downs outside, the iron and steel factory is much quieter.They may also have many survivors who survived the sinking of the Titanic, but these immigrants themselves rarely have families, not to mention that most of the men who boarded the lifeboats were wives and children.

Among the dead, few still have relatives and friends, and there are not many people who are crying to get justice for their relatives.What's more, although the work in the steel factory is hard, the wages are not in arrears, which is very rare.Workers are in the majority who don't want to make trouble for themselves.

Carl opened the door and entered the R&D department. Several physical chemists were discussing how to maximize the strength and toughness of steel.Seeing Carl's appearance, they were all stunned—the last time Carl came here, he was only introduced to the position of the R&D department by Mr. Henry, but he never came.

"Carl Hawley, my father is currently rushing back to Pittsburgh from Italy. Congress is currently shifting the responsibility for the sinking of the Titanic to the poor quality of steel in the steel plant. I need you to use the simplest method to prove that the steel in the company is absolutely high quality No matter what you do, you must prove this. I will give you one day to find a solution, and you must come up with measures at this time tomorrow." Carl walked out in a gust of wind after speaking.

Without Carl present, Mr. Lawrence immediately expressed that he wanted to visit other nearby factories by himself. Therefore, as soon as Carl came out of the R&D department, he bumped into Julian head-on.Julian graciously followed Karl half a step behind and proactively reported to him the current impact on the steel plant.

"Three deals under discussion have already been cancelled. The sinking of the Titanic has attracted worldwide attention, and it has also had a great impact on the overseas business of the steel plant." Julian's face became serious as he spoke: "Master, look, This is the total number of orders in the past few years, and there are a lot of orders in Europe, especially in Germany and the United Kingdom. The impact of Congress on us is difficult to predict."

"Contact a few reporters who want to be famous. I plan to let them see the resistance of the steel company's best steel to impact. Afterwards, I will disclose this news to the Morgan consortium. They will know what to do next." Carl's face The smile on his face was icy, and he now actively waited to see Congress shoot himself in the foot.

"Yes, master, do you want to contact the master? Before he left, he sent a telegram saying that you can handle the factory affairs at will, and you can contact him." Julian said, stretching out his hand and leading Carl to Mr. Henry's office. The rooms are beautifully decorated, full of old-school aristocrats' pursuit of life.

"Julian, many of the new workers in the factory came on the Titanic, right?"

"Yes, sir. Do you have any plans?"

"Gather them together and let them recall the entire process of the sinking of the Titanic in detail. When the reporter comes over, tell the reporter, and then add the steel data materials we provide, and the truth will definitely come to light. The last point, Julian , keep an eye on the gate of the factory, and don’t let the families of the victims rush in. If someone comes to make trouble now, do your best to appease them. When the matter is over, send them back to New York.” Carl looked at Mr. Henry’s steel factory information, and had to I admire this old man. Compared with Mr. Henry Ford, whose personality is getting more and more eccentric and unable to accept new challenges, his old father's factory has many innovations every year.

Julian got Carl's instructions to go out quickly to deal with what he should do, and Carl was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.After getting some respite, Carl decided to go out for a walk, even if there are no green mountains and green waters in Pittsburgh for him to breathe natural air, it feels much better than being trapped in the office.

"Mr. Hawley?" A middle-aged man with chocolate hair called Carl in a low voice, and Carl immediately smiled at him, and the man returned a stiff smile to Carl: "Mr. The steward came and took the two girls."

The smile on Carl's face froze a little. Is this man mocking him?

"...Uh, may I ask who you are?"

"Kara is my daughter." The man laughed even more awkwardly, and he waved his hands in a panic: "Mr. Hawley, thank you for saving Karla. I'm not a strong person, and I can't snatch the lifeboat. To the seat, that's when I was grateful to you, I saw from the locked passage door that you have been holding Kara and taking her to the safety of the Carpathia. Mr. Laifujie also took good care of my daughter , My wife passed away very early, and I only have Carla as a relative. When I found her, Mr. Lai Fujie not only prepared so many new clothes and shoes for her, but also gave me a sum of money to take good care of her."

The man wiped his eyes and choked up while talking, but Carl could only feel guilty and surprised. What exactly did Lai Fujie say when he "borrowed" the child, and how could he be thanked after a transaction!This is a once in a lifetime opportunity!

Carl grasped the man's palm: "Sir, can you do me a favor?"

"Mill, my name is John Mill. If there is anything I can do to help you, Mr. Hawley, I would be happy to do it."

Carl patted the man's palm reassuringly, with a troubled expression on his face: "No, please don't be so nervous, Mr. Mill. In fact, Congress is investigating the cause of the sinking of the Titanic recently, and my father's steel plant was destroyed. Launched as a scapegoat."

Carl said with a sigh: "I really don't know how this group of politicians could be so stupid. They said that the steel in the steel plant was mixed with inferior materials, but if it was really unsafe, how could my father send his only heir to it? Experience the maiden voyage of the Titanic. I need to prove this now. In the next few days, I will hold a press conference and invite well-known reporters to personally prove that Pittsburgh Steel Works is innocent in this matter. At that time, I will I hope you can tell what I did. Sorry, I know this request is difficult, but I need to prove that I am not a person who joked about thousands of lives, and my father's character is not so despicable."

Mr. Mill immediately nodded and agreed to the request. He waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Hawley, I'm so glad I can help you. So, goodbye?"

"Goodbye, Mr. Mill, thank you for your help." Carl patted him on the shoulder gratefully, and then walked out of the factory.

Going out for a stroll is sure to bring good luck!

"Carl, are you lying to him?" Mr. Lawrence's voice reached Carl's ears, and he actually hid in the factory--it's a place where tourists are not allowed.

"Mr. Lawrence, you shouldn't be inside the factory, it's very dangerous." Karl ignored Mr. Lawrence's words and directly pointed out his mistake.

Mr. Lawrence smiled indifferently: "I am very sincere in investing in the Pittsburgh Steel Special Factory, but Mr. Julian seems unwilling to show me the specifics of the factory, so I can only come and see it in person. Look."

"Father is a responsible boss, Mr. Lawrence. I remember that the Brown family is planning to set up their own metallurgical plant. Why do they have to cooperate with the Hawley family?" Karl asked casually, and Mr. Lawrence laughed playfully. kissing his lips.

"I broke up with my girlfriend. Most of the so-called experts my father invited were university professors who had no experience in working with factories. I didn't have confidence in them, so I took the initiative to cancel the plan to build a factory at home. If you enter a completely unfamiliar field, you will only lose money, and I don’t believe that the luck of the Brown family will still exist in 20 years.” Mr. Lawrence said with a smile: “The luck of 20 years ago made my father a little overconfident now, but I still have a lot of confidence. It is prudent, although the Pittsburgh Iron and Steel Plant is called a 'steel plant', in fact, the scope of its involvement has long been very large, you don't have to worry about sales, and I can just save trouble."

"Mr. Lawrence, my father will handle this matter himself when he comes back. I don't have a single share of the factory in my hand. Thank you for your love for my father's factory. I still have some things to do. Sorry, let's leave first." Carl decided to pretend nothing Hear the first sentence.

"Shall we have dinner together tonight?" Mr. Lawrence looked at Carl expectantly.

"Of course, the chef in my father's villa cooks very well." Carl's answer was as disappointing as ever.
