Rebirth 1912 starts with people on the Titanic

Chapter 40: The Harvest of 1912 (Part II).

Bruce smiled, gently put the note away, put it in his pocket, pushed open the door to the guest room, and left.

Like Bruce, there were many guests who left the villa early, and most of them were like him, alone, with an evocative expression.

At least if they had stayed alone at the villa last night, Bruce didn't know.

After Bruce spoke to Mr. Mayor's villa butler, he hurried out of Mr. Mayor's manor house.

Outside the gate of the villa, Bruce waited for a long time and did not wait for the agreed Henda, Bruce had to curse a few words, and then hailed a carriage and hurried home.

The day after Mr. Mayor's banquet, an energetic Adolf Zucker approached Bruce with a proposed contract.

The two sides successfully reached a cooperation matter.

At this point, it turns out that the movie giant named Paramount in history has officially become another industry under the name of Bruce.

It's just a pity that Bruce didn't see the amorous Miss Mary Beckford again.

I don't know if she's waiting for Bruce to take the initiative to find her.

Adolf Zucker holds the first half a million meters that Bruce promised.

He's very fast.

On the same day, he changed the company information of his famous actor film company and changed the name to Paramount Pictures.

Adolf Zucker, who had sufficient funds, began to recruit relevant personnel in a high-profile manner in the following days, as well as buying land in the prosperous area of Los Angeles, intending to build a network of movie distribution theaters that completely covered Los Angeles.

At the same time, in order to be able to get the second batch of investment promised by Bruce as soon as possible.

Adolf Zucker did not forget to send someone to find Charlie Chaplin.

And, he is ready to work on the first film of the new company, and the heroine of the film is Mary Beck.

Bruce didn't go to her again to the Red Tent as Mary had hoped, and became busy.

He first held the first board meeting with the directors of Hantec and William, two directors of the California Petroleum Company, and summarized the company's development achievements and difficulties in the past six months.

Overall, the development of California oil has been very smooth and there has not been much trouble.

The

only downside may be that for the time being, PetroCal has not generated any wealth for the three directors.

In fact, a few days after the banquet, Bruce really bought a manor from William's hand.

To Bruce's delight, the estate was located not far from Beverly Hills.

Due to the location of this manor being a bit remote, Bruce did not spend much money, and William directly transferred it to Bruce half-bought and half-gifted.

The first time he bought the manor, Bruce didn't move in immediately.

Instead, he asked He Wenbin to send someone to Chinatown and take the Tang people who were willing to work for him to the new manor to start working.

Among this group of Tang people, there were as many as fifty in total, of which forty were men, and the rest were the cook that Bruce had been looking forward to for a long time, and a few maids who took care of his food and daily life.

Although He Wenbin had reminded him, Bruce still took luck with these Tang people, and secretly instructed He Wenbin to observe these Tang men more and select some honest ones to train them.

Hopefully, we can train a loyal guard force from among these Tang males.

He Wenbin did not refuse.

It's just that the way he looks at Bruce is very obvious, indicating that Bruce's expectation is likely to be in vain.

After solving the problems of the manor.

Bruce then took Baroudo and Hebier on a tour of several of his factories.

The first is a garment factory he acquired.

Bruce pulled the designers and R&D staff in the factory together for a meeting.

He drew some of his styles of popular clothes for later generations, and then taught them some bikini designs and design concepts.

The drawing is not very good, but the advanced design concepts of Bruce have surprised the designers and R&D personnel in the factory.

As a result, Bruce's clothing changed from the production products of the past and began to soar in the direction of women's underwear and fashionable women's clothing.

Don't look at this era, the profit of clothing is not very high, but if it really grows big, it is definitely a business that does not lose any explosive profits.

After leaving the garment factory, Bruce went on to a small pharmaceutical factory that he had acquired.

The same process has been repeated here.

But this time, Bruce didn't come up with a particularly new design or concept.

Instead, he explained that the factory began to switch to the production of first-aid triangular kits.

Because in two years, the First World War will begin.

When the time comes, this convenient and practical rescue triangle bag will definitely become a very sought-after military item.

The production technology of the triangle bag is not troublesome, and it is convenient to produce, and the pharmaceutical factory under his name is fully capable of production.

What Bruce means is, whether it can be sold or not, stock up on hundreds of thousands of triangle bags first.

Anyway, the cost of producing a triangle bag is not very high, and Bruce's funds are fully able to support it.

In addition, Bruce gathered the R&D personnel of the pharmaceutical factory and transmitted some ideas about disposable sanitary napkins to them, so that they could study it carefully and see if they could produce it.

In fact, the concept of sanitary napkins has been around for a long time.

It's just that no one pays attention to this aspect yet.

Nowadays, most women all over the world still use menstrual belts, especially the women of the Dragon Kingdom, and even use ancient plant ash to treat menstrual stains.

Relatively open Western women generally use menstrual aprons.

Whether it is a menstrual belt or a menstrual apron, it is very inconvenient and unhygienic.

Because these things are things that are used for reuse.

It wasn't until World War I that a group of nurses had no time to deal with menstrual matters, so they added cotton to the bandages used to bandage the wounded to serve as menstrual belts.

I was surprised to find that these bandages worked very well. As a result, this method gradually spread in the United States and Europe.

Later, an American company discovered this phenomenon and eventually improved it and invented the most basic disposable sanitary napkins.

In Bruce's opinion, the research and development of sanitary napkins should not be very difficult, and the country is rich in cotton, so it should be very easy to get this thing out in advance.

Don't look at it as just a small sanitary napkin, the profit may not even be comparable to the first aid triangle bag.

However, it has a large number of users, and it is a stable consumer group that is indispensable for sustainability.

Naturally, Bruce will not easily let go of this good opportunity to make money as a woman.

Although Bruce's proposal made several developers red-faced, his unique perspective and bold ideas did surprise them.

And so another novel company was born under the intervention of Bruce.

It wasn't until many years later that Bruce became a celebrity of the times, and was called the Friend of Women by women around the world.

Anyway, one more thing was successfully finalized by Bruce.

Bruce then went on to several other factories, including a small arsenal he had just acquired.

At the arsenal, Bruce proposed the theory of the "mortar", hoping that the factory's technicians could work on it.

He again shocked the technicians of the arsenal.

The crowd praised and flattered their boss's amazing ideas.

Then he asked Bruce a very urgent and practical problem - the existing conditions at the factory simply did not support them to produce such a heavy weapon as a cannon.

In desperation, Bruce had no choice but to wave his hand and allocate hundreds of thousands of meters to the arsenal to be in charge of hundreds of thousands of meters, asking him to upgrade the factory's production line as soon as possible and build mortars as soon as possible.

Along the way, Bruce realized that before he knew it, he already owned six or seven factories and companies, large and small.

He felt very satisfied, and the only regret was that he didn't have much cash in his hand.

After so many companies have bought it, it has cost Bruce most of his net worth.

For these companies to innovate and upgrade, they need to spend a lot of money to buy new equipment, etc.

In short, except for Bruce's wallet, this 1912 year has been a good year for Bruce.

As California enters winter again.

Production in California has come to a regular standstill.

This year is also a bumper year for the thriving rice country.

The economy of the United States has once again ushered in a new round of tremendous development, which has made the eyes of the old relatives in Europe red.

In the same year, an ancient empire that had once made all of Europe tremble was finally ushered in the order of its fate.

The four small states of southern Europe formed an alliance and launched the First Balkan War against the Osman Empire, the former suzerain.

The war ended with the defeat of the vast Osman Empire and the cession of large tracts of land.

The Balkans, the powder keg of Europe, are slowly revealing their hideous and terrifying true colors to the world, and a bloody rain that has swept through most of the world is slowly taking shape here.
