Rebirth of the Spanish Empire

"How is it possible? Mr. David is now the Americas manager of our Standard Oil Company. If his previous experience and position are equivalent to decoration, then the current manager position is the most important among these managers. He is the American manager. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most highly regarded department manager of the largest oil company.”

"That is, in the past, African managers were marginalized people in the company's management, and American managers were the most important. It is said that not counting dividends, American managers can get an annual salary of more than 50,000 US dollars. You know, in the past, he was in America When I was the manager, my annual salary was only US$10,000, but now it is said that that position is only US$18,000. From this annual salary, people can know the different importance of these two positions."

"Yes, it is said that Mr. David also started from the grassroots. I really hope that I can become a person like Mr. David."

"Go, who doesn't want that?"

"Hurry up and work, be careful if people see us and say we are lazy. That will really kill your hope of developing into a missionary like Mr. David."

As the sound went away, George David finally revealed his figure.

There was an intoxicated expression on his face. No one cares about his own image. Good guy? Bad guy? Positives and negatives, these will make everyone feel good or bad in their own mood, as well as the emotional changes of those who comment on them. If a person wants to please his boss, the best way is to say good things about him before he shows up when he is working actively. These will make the boss stop, and his mood will change according to what you say. When he has reached a conclusion, he will leave quietly, and then the scale in his heart will press you towards him. Trustworthy, his own side.

This is what George David is like now. He has deeply remembered these two people. "It's good to have dreams, but it's a pity. They still don't seem to realize that in fact, if you want to succeed, you need more." Things. For example. In fact, you cannot completely trust any colleague in the company. Including, including people from the boss Rockefeller family."

Since returning from Africa a few years ago, his mood has not completely calmed down. The memory of that period in Africa cannot be destroyed and disappear even if it lasts a lifetime. [

New York, now one of the largest cities in the world, is great because it is a complete commercial city. Here, there is absolutely no aristocratic atmosphere that exists everywhere in London, and there will not be the opulence of Madrid. It is grand, but it does not have the solemnity of Berlin, nor does it have the iron horse effect of St. Petersburg. There are soldiers, horses, guns, swords and swords everywhere.

Standard Oil's American headquarters is in New York.

Looking at the eyes of those who were in awe of him along the way, David felt very accomplished. If he could use any words to describe it, then it would have to be "I am a cow".

Soon he arrived at the largest office that belonged to him. Fanny, who was very tall, was still packing documents there early. David would have a different feeling every time he saw Fanny. This was the first time. Astonished and admired now, this little girl made him feel even more how accurate it was to say that there are many different kinds of people in this world.

"Mr. David, are you here?"

"Hey! It seems like you were 28 seconds ahead of schedule yesterday," George David pretended to look at his watch, and then said with a joking smile.

Fanny smiled and then said: "Your newspaper has been placed on the desk."

The first of two exchanges today ended like this. After each exchange, David would be in a very happy mood.

Sometimes he even had other strange thoughts, but in the end, he stopped thinking about his wife who had shared the joys and sorrows at home.

However, he is still not ready to give up this good relationship as colleagues.

He took a sip of the coffee that Fanny had just mixed, then leaned comfortably on the sofa, and put his eyes on the newspaper. This is a pile of newspapers, not only the local newspaper "The New York Times", but also the other two major newspapers from the United States, the "Los Angeles Times" and the "Chicago Times". Not only that, there are also newspapers from major European countries.

As usual, he first picked up a copy of the New York Times and read it. The place where he was working now was in New York. If he didn't understand the local situation, it would be very difficult to adjust to the work.

It is still the same as before, either introducing the Mafia committing crimes in New York or introducing how many immigrants have come to the area. Of course, except that the first page sometimes pays attention to the progress of the war between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Tsarist Russia in Europe.

When David saw the war in Europe, he thought the same thing as most Americans. It's none of our business. If you want to fight, just fight. It would be better if the whole of Europe had such a war. That would make it even more difficult. Well, I believe that by then, Europe will be in these devastating battles, and its industry may be set back for more than ten years. Some countries may even return directly to primitive society.

In this case, American industry can invade the European market more quickly, and the latecomers may even catch up in terms of national strength. [

But this is just an entertainment joke after dinner. Who would think that such a scene would happen? He, George David, would not think that such a scene would happen.

I quickly finished reading the local newspaper. After hesitating for a while, I turned my hands and pulled out the seventh newspaper from the top, "Journal of Madrid."

"Journal of Madrid" is now one of the most famous newspapers in Europe. In Europe, it has begun to spread around the continent and even to other parts of the world. This has to make many national political powers. I feel uneasy about the spread of the power to control public opinion in Spain.

"Times", "Journal of Madrid" and "Journal of Spain", these three major newspapers and magazines have far surpassed other newspapers. In the world, there is only the equivalent of "International Connection" founded in Switzerland. National borders and more neutral newspapers can only compete with it.

"Madrid Journal" has three major categories. It pays more attention to quoting news from other newspapers. The second is to introduce the political situation around the world, and the third is the world business situation.

Without hesitation, he omitted the second one, because in fact, the hot spots around the world were collected in the first one. He even thought in his heart that the second one was actually redundant. Isn't this a pure waste of editorial resources? If it were under his control, he would definitely integrate such resources.

After reading the first category, it turned out that it was still the wars and statements made by diplomats, big and small. These still seemed to have nothing to do with him.

He flipped to the third category. This is business, a business introduction to the world. It can be said that this newspaper is the most valuable place, and it should be here. As Spain's economic strength increased, especially its leading position in the technological revolution, the United States and the German Empire began to have no choice but to follow Spain's lead. Just like the previous pharmaceutical industry, automobile industry, and now the radio industry, as well as the film industry that has been booming in recent years, if you look there, you will find that the Oscars in Los Angeles, the center of Western film in the United States, are It seems that they are starting to learn from each other how to develop the film industry. It is said that last year, in the film industry alone, the revenue of Spanish films exceeded one billion pesetas in the world. This is equivalent to one billion US dollars when converted into U.S. dollars.

Therefore, this newspaper is said to have become a must-read newspaper for global business elites. Everyone likes to find the path to their own business success from the inside of the current Spanish industry. In other words, I don’t expect to find that I can afford the fat meat, but at least I can get the right to drink soup.

With such a mood, he seemed to be looking for it.

Since 1900, wars have been raging everywhere, and preparations for wars have become more and more rapid after crises. Because many countries still have rapid economic development in the 19th century during the peacetime period when real expenditures alternate, the growth of industrial production, the extraction of coal and oil , various advanced machines competed for production, and the steel production processes and chemical processes that had been developed by various countries have also made greater achievements. France is more than 90% self-sufficient in food, and Germany is developing industry. Due to the shift in population production type, more than one-third of wheat demand and half of barley need to be imported.

The rapid development of industrial technology, the emergence of DC engines and electric motors, and the invention of telephones and wire telegraphs in other communication equipment, coupled with the birth of the internal combustion engine at this time, the arrival of cars and airplanes, and the expansion of the railway network Expand quickly. These have added vitality to the economies of countries around the world.

According to a joint survey by "International Connection" and "Time", the world's oil in 1913 was about 9.2 million tons. Britain and France did not have their own oil, so they could only find it from the colonial Middle East and India. In 1913, the German Empire mined 12.01 million tons, and the neighboring Austro-Hungarian Empire mined 1.1 million tons. Most of this oil is extracted in oil-rich areas of neutral countries such as the United States and other countries. Except for the United States and Spain, the combined machine manufacturing industry of these two countries exceeds the industrial output value of Britain, France and Russia by more than 50%.

"The current railway pattern in Europe is also very dazzling. The German Empire is 110,000 kilometers, France is 960,000 kilometers, and Tsarist Russia is 110,000 kilometers in Europe. Other borders are under rapid construction. Spain has more than 150,000 kilometers of railways are in operation, with more than 30,000 kilometers overseas, particularly in Western Australia and New Zealand.

As he watched, David's eyes suddenly fell on the following headline: Is the President of Sunoco the United States?

Then he looked down again, and his expression suddenly changed. It's that guy? (To be continued...)

ps: My mother and girlfriend came over from my hometown yesterday, so I was very busy. I will wait and see if I can finish writing 3,000 words. If so, I think there will be two updates today. thanks for your support!
