The New Life of Ruth Hockley in Titanic

After Carl sent the Astor couple away, Shen Mo sat on the chair in the study, and he held her in his arms. Ruth's worried expression still made him a little worried.He is now considering whether he should let Seiler take over what he needs to do now. The most dangerous person at this moment is not Anna, but Ruth.He finally understood Sailor's worried feeling, and now he began to feel that it was too wrong for him to laugh at Sailor before.

"Don't worry, Carl, okay? We've taken the best precautions, and I won't be in trouble. And you're still by my side, and you won't let me in, will you?" Ruth said to Carl She is still very trusting, but seeing Carl who is so unconfident now, she is still a little worried, and she is not very worried about her own safety.Karl will never let others bully her, she is confident, why is he not happy.

"Baby, this is a shopping mall. It's really no different from a battlefield. For your safety, I'm going to let Nancy have a gun. This is my biggest concession. The same is true for LeJeff and the others. Ruth is no longer You are alone, you have to think about me, we are husband and wife, no matter who we are, we can't leave each other." Carl looked at Ruth's little face, and he kissed her.Now he started to worry again, after all, what he had imagined was simpler.Is it too late for Seiler to come over?This was the thing that concerned him the most. Ruth often went to the asylum during this time, so many people must have been watching her.

"Is this really good? Your new project is about to start, all of which will restrict your experience, so you don't have to worry about my safety. It's your business that matters, and I will be careful. Ruth looked at Carl and frowned, but he still disagreed. After all, his business is the most important thing. Astor's coming here today made her think of something. Her identity is a clear nail and target. If If the security of the society is not good, she may become a shining meat ticket.

"It's okay, John told you to follow me, then let Meili be busy in the aid home, now you have something to learn, at first I want Meili to give you some social things. Now it seems that it is still I'll hand it over to you myself." Karl's initial plan could no longer be realized, so he could only let him protect her personally.

"Well, what else should we do besides this? We can't just do nothing, right? Besides, now is the best time. With the sinking of the Titanic, the stock of the White Star Company has fallen to the bottom, and there are already many businessmen We have paid the price for this, and we can take the opportunity to expand our business, this is just my opinion." Carl looked at his more intelligent little wife, he was very relieved, she had begun to pay attention to the business world slowly, and he also He already wanted to help Ruth open the shopping store so that her interest could be further developed, but in terms of management, he planned to hand over all of it to Ruth and the special assistant Anpeina who helped her find it.This girl is Zongsen's fiancée, so he can rest assured that the whole couple are working by their side. At least, if he can control Zongsen, Anpeina will be able to protect Ruth better.

Carl was thinking about the possibility that Ruth said in his heart. Many people in the upper class bought a lot of White Star Company. After all, the loss of stocks this time caused these people to lose a lot of projects.Even some of the people who worked with him withdrew a lot of contracts, which caused Karl a little loss.Ruth's reminder made him start to think about the possibility, and by the way, he was also thinking about the possibility of himself being able to do this.

"Well, what then?" Carl still wanted to hear what other ideas Ruth had. Although some of her ideas were still a little immature, he could find a lot of new ideas from them.After all, Karl has been in the mall for many years, and he sees many things as too complicated. Some of Ruth's ideas seem simple, and some are whimsical, but he feels that certain things have certain possibilities.

"Unexpectedly, at least we can hold more rights in our hands first. Many people must be selling stocks to make up for the loss of stocks this time. Therefore, you can use the money you earn to buy some stocks you once wanted. , Isn't this just right?" Ruth smiled, and Carl nodded, and he was even thinking in his heart that some stocks had already fallen to the bottom, perhaps, this is also a solution.

"Carl, in fact, I don't know if this method will work. Maybe some people will not sell the most important stocks, and most businessmen will leave behind." Ruth also felt that her idea was a bit whimsical. , which one of them is not an old fox, isn't her thinking too immature?

"That's not true. You know that many upper class people bought the shares of White Star Company this time. Before the maiden voyage of the Titanic, his stock had been trading at its daily limit for a long time. Moreover, Imes It is also one that attaches great importance to publicity. When the Titanic was first designed and ready for shipbuilding, it has already begun to be valued by people in the upper class. This is our first voyage. If the ship does not sink, the ticket from the United States to the United Kingdom has already been paid. They were all sold. How much was the loss? I haven’t figured it out yet. Have you seen Fifth Avenue? Many businesses have closed, and they are even subletting and reselling their storefronts. You can think about this, this street The rents of the shops in front of it have always been relatively high. We can let Zong Sen and the others go to the street to have a look.” Carl thinks this method is good, but this time, hmph, he wants to see what Imes will do?This time the reputation has been completely ruined. If Baixing Company makes a comeback, it will not be an ordinary thing.

"It turns out that's the case. No wonder, I looked at Emes and felt very worried. Is Mrs. Emes also planning to find a way out at this banquet?" Ruth is not as innocent as before. Mrs. Imes has been walking around since the banquet, but she noticed that most of the people Mrs. Imes talks to are well-dressed, and they should be rich in various business circles.Only by letting these people invest, maybe Baixing Company will have a subtle chance to turn around.

"As you can see, most of those people are the brains of the Italian business community. You think that the Titanic incident was so sensational. It was shipwrecked and sank on the first voyage. This is not counting the [-]% of the ship. The people in the first-class and second-class cabins haven’t come out yet, these are the most terrible things. Even if these people in Italy are ill-informed, they should know these things by now.” Karl rubbed his brows, but fortunately Sailor and Lai Ken didn't buy the shares of Baixing Company with him, otherwise, he really didn't know what to do.

"Well, maybe only making money can make everyone listen to you. We don't care about others, as long as we make money in obscurity." Ruth nodded. She didn't expect that Carl had hidden so many things. It turned out that he had already borne it for her. So much, seeing Mrs. Imes's busy figure at that time, she realized that there are actually so many things that ladies have to do.When something happened to her husband's career, he was still going around with a smile at the banquet.

"I will never let you fall into such a situation, as long as your smile blooms for me." Carl accidentally saw the wry smile on Mrs. Imes's face at that time, and he decided that no matter what happened Things will definitely not let Ruth hit a wall everywhere in such an occasion in order to help his company turn around. If he encounters such a situation, he will really violate the oath he made in front of Mr. Bucket at that time.

"No, aren't you ready to buy the shops on Fifth Avenue? In this way, we have rent, even if there is a loss, we can still use these shops to maintain our lives, and try our best to buy as many shops as possible. Hehe, as for Just go out and sign once a year." Just after Ruth finished speaking, Carl was a little puzzled. In his mind, there were no shops that signed once a year, and most of them cooperated for many years.

"Why sign every year?" Carl still asked. Maybe Ruth could give him a reasonable explanation. However, this new idea made him happy. Most of the people who have worked with him for many years are Signed every five years.

"Of course, if Fifth Avenue develops in the future, the rent will definitely be different every year, and it will definitely get higher and higher. We can sign a contract every year, and we can raise some money every year. It may not be much, but every time increase, so that our income can also increase. The most important thing is that if someone thinks our family is unreasonable, we don’t need to cooperate. Don’t forget that as long as the store’s location is good, it can still attract many big-name specialty stores. This is The most stable income." Ruth's statement made Carl feel that it was feasible, and he often felt that the contract signed every five years was not very good. Sometimes when he watched the people around him re-sign the contract, He had already raised the rent very high, and he was also moved, but it also scared many people away.If the price is raised a little every year, it will not be difficult for people to accept.

"Every price increase must be very high. If it is averaged into the annual rent, it will make people feel reasonable. In fact, the increase is the same as the five-year signing." Ruth explained, he hesitated For a while, listening to Ruth's explanation quietly, he smiled, he really married a treasure, among other things, such an idea is not something that other ladies can think of, those people are there every day At the afternoon tea party, the conversation was more about beautiful clothes and extravagant jewelry, but Ruth asked Nancy to go around the company to look at the houses and small apartments. Everyone is an apartment for one person. Are these also ready for rent? ?

"I asked Nancy to look at the surrounding apartments. Many people are selling such small apartments, which is quite good. The location is good, and there are companies around. Many employees must re-rent because they change jobs after all. Now, the location of the house has changed. I also want to let myself keep some assets, right?" Ruth's smile gave Carl a headache, in fact, he also saw the small apartments Ruth prepared, and he also calculated the rent. The rent he earns every year still makes him feel a little small, but seeing Ruth's arrogant appearance, he is happy, let her be happy, the money she takes is also the pocket money he intends to leave to her, Unexpectedly, this little guy asked Nancy to increase her income directly. Maybe after a few years, she would be able to save some unknown income.

"Well, as long as you're happy." Carl looked at Ruth, who was talking with bright eyebrows. He was happy, watching her standing in front of the desk, talking about her ideas happily. She once wanted to live such a life , but no funds, but now have such financial resources, but no time and energy.Alas, that's just not a coincidence.

"Come on, let's go to the bedroom together." Carl held Ruth's waist. This girl has become less and less fond of wearing corsets recently. He began to think that girls are very beautiful and dignified after wearing them.Since he got married, he helped Ruth dress every morning, but he was very distressed and really couldn't do it.But if Ruth didn't help her wear the shapewear, she couldn't wear her skirts, which were still popular now, and he tried not to let her order those skirts with herringbone brackets for her.

"Okay." The two held hands and strolled in the corridor, preparing to go to their room. There is still a day to do tomorrow, but he didn't expect Astor to come back. When he left the study just now, he checked the time. By this time, Ruth had gone to bed and fell asleep.He planned to ask the special assistant secretary to inform his subordinates tomorrow morning. The morning meeting will be held later so that she can wake up first.
