Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 32: Rose's Mother?

So the little girl lit the fuse of a cannonball, and that night the whole village saw the little girl's grandmother!".

Bruce was half-always by little Alice's side and finished the story of "The Little Girl Who Sold Cannonballs" in a plain tone.

"Giggle...... Bruce, you liar, how can a child come out and sell shells. Little Alice laughed breathlessly, and her little hands slapped Bruce viciously.

Bruce laughed and got into a fight with little Alice.

After a long fight, seeing that it was not early, Bruce touched little Alice's hair and coaxed her to sleep.

When children are tired of playing, it is easy to fall asleep.

It's just that before falling asleep, little Alice suddenly asked Bruce, "Bruce, when will Rose's mother come back?"

Bruce let out an "um" with a strange look.

"Mother Rose, Alice, who taught you this?" said Bruce teased.

"Mother Rose was very nice to Alice, like a mother. Little Alice muttered.

"What about me?" Bruce laughed.

"Bruce is also very nice, like a dad. The little girl smiled slyly, "Mother Rose, Daddy Bruce." Alice has mom and dad again. "

Bruce felt a slight pain in his heart, and stroked little Alice's little face with pity and said, "Okay, Alice, it's not early, go to sleep." Rose may be busy right now, and will come back to see Alice when she is free. "

"Really?" asked little Alice, half-squinting.

"Really, definitely. Bruce nodded in the affirmative.

When he came back to his senses, Bruce found that the little girl had fallen asleep peacefully.

Bruce couldn't laugh or cry.

After getting up and covering the little girl with the quilt, she quietly withdrew from her room.

Back downstairs, Bruce finds that Handar hasn't gone to rest yet.

Seeing Bruce coming down, Handar hurriedly invited him over.

The glow of the fireplace was printed, and the surrounding light flickered on and off.

Handar poured Bruce a glass of red wine and said, "Alice slept?".

Bruce nodded and said, "The little guy is too clingy." "

Handar smiled knowingly, "Honestly, Bruce. It's time for you to think about your life's events, too. How's it going, do you have a favorite candidate?".

Bruce said self-deprecatingly, "How long have I been in the United States?

"Actually, I think that Ms. Leslie is good. "Hengda said narrowly.

Bruston paused, not knowing what to say of Leslie.

As Bruce's first woman to come into this world, Leslie does hold a very high place in Bruce's heart.

It's just that Bruce's current mind is focused on making money and strengthening his own strength, and he really doesn't think much about the relationship between men and women.

As for the future, Bruce is not easy to say.

After all, this is the country of rice, not the traditional dragon country.

In terms of love, love, and love, the concept of the West is far more open and selfish than that of the East.

"Let's talk about the future. Bruce said casually.

"Well, that's right. Men should put their careers first. What kind of woman can't find it with money?hehe......" Henda nodded, smiling mysteriously at Bruce.

I don't know if he misunderstood Bruce's hesitation somewhere in his mind.

Two men sit together, and the topic is always other than women is career.

"Bruce, do you think there's anything we need to exchange with him at Mr. Mayor's banquet?" asked Henda as he lit a cigarette.

"What do you think the company needs the city's help with?" Bruce said after a moment's thought.

"Of course, the more the merrier. After all, there is a behemoth called Chevron in front of us. Handar laughed.

"These are relatively long-term problems, and it is better to consider the immediate needs of the company at the moment. Bruce smirked.

"Then let Mr. Mayor help us borrow more!" Handar thought for a moment, "If you want to grow rapidly, the most lacking thing in California oil is naturally the need for funds. "

"Then cry to Mr. Mayor!" Bruce shrugged, "and there is also the problem of industry sales." You can't refine it and not sell it. "

"What's your idea on this?" Handar nodded, taking a puff of her flue.

"How's the Chevron over there? I think there are a few gas stations in California!" Bruce waved his hand, driving away some of the smoke.

Seeing this, Hengda smiled awkwardly and said, "Why don't you have one?" I don't think you like to smoke or drink, which is not good. If a man doesn't have a personal hobby, what's the point of living. "

Bruce was speechless.

He was a mercenary in his previous life, so how could he not have some personal hobbies?

Not only cigarettes and alcohol, but as a mercenary who trades his life for money, it costs a lot more than Handar can imagine.

It's just that after the crossing, Bruce began to quit smoking and drinking.

After thinking about it, Bruce still took the cigarette handed by Handar, lit it casually, and took a deep breath.

That familiar action, even Hengda was stunned for a while.

That seems to say, it turns out that you kid is more skilled than me.

Bruce smiled at him and said, "Smoking is bad for your health, Handar, you'd better smoke less in the future." Besides, you and Molly don't have children yet. "

Hengda was stunned when she heard this, looked at the cigarette in her hand, hesitated a few times, and finally failed to resist the temptation of nicotine.

smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter, anyway, whether you have children or not depends on fate." Instead, let's talk about the gas station. "

Bruce glanced sideways at Handar and continued: "Oil is bound to become the next energy outlet, and if our company wants to break through the encirclement and blockade of other giants, it is time to lay out for the future." I think it's a good idea to start with a gas station. "

"Well, you're right. So, you mean to ask the mayor to give us some land to build a gas station?" Hengda nodded.

"Why? And the more the better, but everywhere there is traffic, you have to take it. Don't let go of the land that doesn't have roads yet, but where roads can be built. Bruce said, narrowing his eyes.

"It's going to be a lot of investment!" said Handa with a sigh, "After all, no one knows what the future of Los Angeles will become." "

With the current international situation and development potential of the United States, the entire United States will become a unique superpower in the world in the future. Bruce said with great determination.

Handa didn't know where Bruce's confidence came from, and was noncommittal about his words.

You know, at this time, the economy of the United States seems to be very active.

However, due to historical reasons, the local economy of the United States is still very weak.

Basically, most of the domestic industries are controlled by European capital.

Even a capital family like Hantec is not fully sure of the future economic situation of the United States.

Who can have the confidence to have 100% confidence in their family's economy when they owe billions of dollars to others.

Barring a major event that would deal a devastating blow to Europe's economic and social stability.

Otherwise, now, any movement of local capital in the United States will be suppressed by European capital at all costs.

Handar was not confident, but Bruce was sure.

The major event that destroyed the entire European economy is not far off, and even more than once.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?" asked Handar after a moment's hesitation.

"Naturally, it's a hoard, the more the merrier. Bruce replied without thinking.

Speaking of which, Bruce suddenly remembered something important.

He then said to Hantec, "Are you interested in entering the real estate industry with me? I plan to buy all the land in Billy Mountain, a suburb of Los Angeles, in a while." "

Hearing Bruce's plan, Handar was so startled that she almost fell off the couch.

"Damn, Bruce, are you crazy? Not even a tree like a statue grows in that area except for a barren mountain range. Handar exclaimed in shock.

"Handar, calm down. I didn't say it's now, but besides, it's because there's a dime a dime that it doesn't cost a lot to buy. Bruce said nonchalantly.

"Forget it, I'm not going to go crazy with you. Handar waved his hand repeatedly.

"Are you sure? don't regret it then?" Bruce smiled mysteriously.

Seeing Bruce like this, Handar really hesitated.

He's seen firsthand how Bruce has grown.

Now that Bruce actually wants to buy land again, it is difficult to ......

Hengda was suddenly shocked, and said excitedly: "Did you buy it because there was oil down there?"

Bruston was stunned.

What is this?

If there was oil in Beverly Hills, how could Chevron easily miss it?

Bruce waved his hand amusedly, "What do you think? Really oil is cow everywhere, everywhere?".

"And what are you buying that land for?" said Handar incredulously.

"Buy it and play it, if you don't want to participate, but there's really no oil there, I'm sure and sure there's no there. Bruce swears.

Seeing that there was no oil, Handar immediately lost interest.

"Well, whatever you want. It's just that the gas station plan you mentioned is really feasible. It seems that we need to work hard to get the support of Mr. Mayor. Handar said lightly.

"In addition to the gas station, you can also build more convenience stores and taverns next to it for the driver's leisure. Bruce laughed.

Handar's eyes lit up, slapped his thigh and smiled, "Hehe...... That's right, Bruce, you're so talented. In this way, our gas stations are more competitive. "

"It's a rare opportunity, if we can, we have to let our mayor strengthen the local protection policy, and now in California, all the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods have come to dig oil, which has seriously affected the development and stability of local enterprises. Bruce said meaningfully.

Handar also showed a strange smile.

He pointed at Bruce, wanting to laugh but couldn't.

Just muttered, "You guy, sometimes it's really scary." But I like it!haha......

".

"Well, it's not too early, let's stop here today. I'll remind you of the banquet when the time comes. Handar took a sip of red wine and got up.

"Are you sure you don't want to play with me?" asked Henda again as he was leaving.

Handar just shook his head and said, "Forget it, I'm old, and I want to save more pension money." "

"Okay, then I'll do it myself, and don't blame me for not reminding you in the future. Bruce stood up as well.

After the two exchanged goodnight, they went back to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, early in the morning, Henda went out with the people.

According to Molly, she went to visit the Clauster family.

It seems that Handar took the conversation with Bruce last night very seriously.

This is to exchange views with another shareholder of the company in advance.

As for Bruce, he is entangled by little Alice.

finally looked forward to bringing Bruce back, and the little girl didn't want to leave Bruce's side for a moment.

It's just that Bruce has too many things to do, so after only accompanying little Alice for a morning, let her go back to accompany Molly first.

With the new addition of He Binwen as a little bodyguard, Bruce has to take him to familiarize himself with the environment here and his personal living habits.

As for why He Wenbin was not allowed to go to school with him, it was because He Wenbin was already old.

And he also has a natural hatred of whites.

Bruce was afraid that after this kid entered the school, he would make a fuss about killing his classmates within a few days.

So Bruce can only take He Wenbin to hunt near Handa's manor, or practice a confrontation with He Wenbin when he has time, so as not to be rusty when he was a mercenary.

On the way to hunt in the afternoon, He Wenbin, Barudo, and Hebier accompanied Bruce in denim clothes and rode a tall horse slowly through a clearing.

He Wenbin, who has never liked to talk, suddenly said to Bruce: "Thank you, boss!"

Bruce was puzzled and said, "Thank me for what, because I took you in?"

"Thank you for not treating my little sister as a servant, and you didn't arrange for her to serve that little foreign woman. He Wenbin said coldly.

So Bruce didn't know if he was really thanking himself, or if he was talking the other way.

However, the relationship between the He brothers and sisters is very good, which makes Bruce have a good impression of He Wenbin.

He is a man with responsibility.

"No thanks, I just did what a normal person should do. Of course, if you really want to thank me, why don't you tell me the secrets of your brother and sister. Bruce half-jokingly.

Suddenly, He Wenbin's eyes turned cold.

Then he realized something, and his expression returned to a state of being unwavering.

Bruce glanced at him and pretended not to know, "Don't worry, although I am interested in the secrets on your body, I will not force you." What I have is the time and patience to wait for you to tell me yourself. "

He Wenbin moved his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, just said dryly: "Thank you!".
