Chapter 0297 Dare to grab the fruit I share?
Hualian supermarkets in North America opened one after another, and newspapers rushed to report on the heated scenes of people queuing in front of the doors.
Everyone comes out with bags big and small, and the tote bags included in the store let them spread the word.
Just when everyone was paying attention to this, another news was published in the Los Angeles Times: about Bechtel's next recruitment plan.
30,000 jobs are being recruited across North America, and Bechtel recruiters are appearing in front of Chinatowns in major cities.
Priority will be given to those who are hard-working, physically strong, and have done masonry or carpentry work.
The news caused a sensation not unlike that of Hualian, and Bechtel's salary was not very high.
But in the midst of the Great Depression, there was stable income, never late wages, and preferential benefits for employees to purchase goods at Hualian.
There are also small red envelopes given out during the Chinese New Year, which are higher than those of white-collar workers.
Recruitment managers in some remote areas received news as soon as they arrived: enough people have been recruited.
Bechtel's construction workers, plus administrative staff and design departments, bring the number of employees to 70,000.
Next, the newly joined workers were dispersed to contract projects in various places.
Hawaii has the largest number, and a large number of skilled workers have been replaced in Santa Monica and Marbury Beach.
"This is the future home of the boss, a castle built for his wife and children. No minor flaws are allowed to appear."
People from the engineering development and design departments stood behind CEO Stan Manhattan. On the ground in front of them were dozens of drawings of various sizes.
The main structure of the castle and the detailed structural drawings of every corner are all here.
There are also more than 20 of the world's top art designers and painters, who are also whispering around the drawings.
It should be solemn and majestic, but the interior should have a warm and comfortable environment that feels like home. "I don't want to see my children wet their pants in fear in my own castle."
These are Li Zitao's exact words, so they must consider how to incorporate artistic elements into it without scaring the future billion-dollar baby.
…
…
In the Pioneer Technology garage, Karen stood next to the car covered by gray cloth, reached out and grabbed him and said with a smile: "Boss, don't blink."
The overall body is ivory white, even the wheels are no exception. The front face is a narrow kidney grille radiator and rough headlights.
The overall streamlined front cover of the car is like the tall nose bridge of a Roman lying flat, the tire-covered mudguard, and the perfect S-curve are as tempting as a beautiful woman.
"Beautiful." Even from the perspective of future generations, this car is not inferior.
Under good road conditions, this BMW 231 can reach a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
Although it cannot reach the speed of 100 kilometers per hour of Chrysler, it is enough for this era.
The main reason is that it is beautiful enough, with a roofless design, a long front windshield, a frameless upper design, and the perfect curves of the entire vehicle.
"Sports cars have never been provided to the public. They are status symbols, capital to show off, and props and foils used to show one's own uniqueness."
Li Zitao agreed with this point very much, because as he was driving a BMW 231 on the airport runway, he felt a sense of expansion in his heart.
"Let people print brochures, give them to club members and black card members, and distribute them in small quantities to the outside world. It's time to get busy again."
The interior, dashboard and console of BMW 231 are all carefully polished by hand and can only be produced in limited quantities at present.
But this is its selling point. Just like in later generations, if the streets are full of 911, how can the rich show off their status and pretend to be happy?
The small-scale distribution of BMW 231 went smoothly. Within half a month, some customers who arrived in person placed orders immediately.
There is no problem with 80% advance payment. Who wants it to be limited to this one company and no other company?
Just like Skunk's Gulfstream 100, everyone wants to own a comfortable, functional, and unparalleled private jet.
American Aerospace, which was originally just a shell company, also has new businesses.
Responsible for providing excellent pilots, aircraft maintenance, maintenance, inspection and dispatch to Gulfstream 100 customers.
For this reason, United Airlines and Pan American Airways began to have frequent contact with it.
United Airlines (United Aircraft and Air Transport Company) has a real understanding of how profitable high-end services in the aviation field are through Li Zitao.
They are modifying their aircraft, hoping to gain recognition from more wealthy people and develop new profit points.
United Airlines' R&D and design department moved very quickly. In just a few months, they built a brand new luxury business jet, the C-31.
Then
The emergence of the Gulfstream 100 has eclipsed the C-31, whether in terms of comfort, luxury of the cabin interior, details, silence and power.
There is no comparison at all, let alone the full customization mode that Skunk provides for it.
The unprepared United Airlines was like being hit with a left hook, an uppercut, an uppercut, and then a heavy punch, leaving the nose bruised, face swollen, and dizzy.
Rich people who were originally interested in the C-31, including shareholders of United Airlines, politely expressed that they needed to reconsider.
According to information received by United Airlines, those who said they needed to reconsider turned around and went to Santa Barbara to pay the deposit after visiting the skunk.

…
"Boss, United Airlines invites you to attend the mid-month shareholder meeting." During the monthly meeting with the think tank, Ben took out an invitation and said.
"Isn't it always the think tank that represents me?" Li Zitao said in a playful tone while holding the invitation card between his fingers.
"They were beaten so badly by your black squirrel that they can hardly survive. As far as I know, there are 40 C-31s parked at their headquarters international airport.
So far they have only sold one, and the buyer is Mr. Robert F. Liu, President of United Airlines." There was a burst of laughter from the people sitting around.
"Well, it seems they need help." Li Zitao smiled proudly and handed the invitation to Jesse behind him, while Tia, who was following her, recorded the itinerary.
"The Las Vegas project is progressing smoothly. In terms of funding, subscriptions from Duke and Mellon have been received.
However, the Mellon representative is not Miss Avril, but Dick J. Mellon.”
"Tell me about his origins." Li Zitao took out a cigar and leaned back, letting his body sink into the soft sofa.
"Dick J. Mellon is the cousin of Andrew Mellon, the head of the Mellon family, the only son of Richard Mellon, the eldest son of Andrew, and the cousin of Paul Mellon.
He was designated as the second heir by the family, and Paul's performance was not enough for the Mellon family to take charge of such a huge industry."
"That is to say, is it possible that this Dick will replace Paul and become the patriarch of the next generation of the Mellon family?" The family inheritance in the United States is increasingly leaning towards Country Y.
Those who are capable will be promoted and those who are mediocre will be demoted. It does not mean that you are the son of the clan leader. You must be the next clan leader. Everything must take precedence over family inheritance.
"Yes, judging from the current situation, both Andrew and Richard are leaning towards this." Ben nodded affirmatively.
"Well." After thinking for a moment, Li Zitao raised his head and said, "Tell that Dick that Las Vegas has enough funds, and I'm very sorry about this."
We brought Doris Duke and Avril Mellon because we wanted to get closer to the relationship between Jonathan and Lawrence.
Regarding the investment in Las Vegas, Juliana called the secretary's office countless times to express that Wells Fargo was willing to fully fund the project.
Who can't see the benefits contained in this? As long as Li Zitao releases the news, countless people will be willing to send money to him.
"The peaches I gave out, I took them for myself without asking, Dick, haha." Don't mention that he is not the patriarch of the family.
