Trinity Traitor: From One Person to the Other
Chapter 131 Your Own Shipping Company
Chapter 131 Your Own Shipping Company
The man who was speaking was also called Joseph, Joseph Ismay, who took over the company's shares from his father, Old Ismay, and continued to operate it.
The three Olympic-class cruise ships of the White Star Line were built and launched under his supervision. He was even one of the passengers on the Titanic and survived the disaster.
However, after the Titanic accident, he was accused by the British and American media of abandoning a large number of women and children on the ship and only caring about his own escape. Of course, there are also other people who testified that Ismay followed the principle of "women and children first" and assisted many women and children to leave the ship first.
This happened many years ago. At that time, He Songling was still tied to Zuo Rutong's belt and learning martial arts at Trinity University. He didn't care about the life or death of the foreigners. Anyway, this matter is a matter of opinion.
But it did irreparable damage to Ismay's reputation and he was forced to resign a year later. Although he was still keen on sailing and had established a number of foundations, these did not allow him to appear in shipping companies again until he retired completely four years ago.
"But I am unwilling to do so. I am unwilling to do so, Mr. He." Ismay arranged a car to take He Songling and his party to the mansion. Zhang Zhiwei and the elder were in one car, while Ismay personally shared the ride with He Songling.
He held He Songling's hands tightly with both hands and said excitedly: "They forced me to be responsible for something that did not happen, causing my company to go from bad to worse. This is the property my father left me, and I can't watch it die like this."
In Ismay's words, it was such a coincidence that all three of his Olympic-class cruise ships had accidents after they were launched. Previously, the ocean-going luxury cruise ships he had built and put into operation, such as the Royal Baltic, had never had any accidents.
He was a man with great business sense. He had made White Star Line flourish in the early years, but now White Star was about to be acquired by its arch-rival Cunard Shipping Company. It was said that Cunard was planning to build an unprecedented luxury cruise ship, and the King of England had decided to name it after his queen.
"If we really let them build it, White Star will be finished! Only you can help me!" Ismay said this with veins bulging in his hands and a hideous look on his face.
He Songling pulled his hand out from the old white man without leaving a trace, waved his hand and said, "I think you misunderstood, Mr. Ismay. I am just a cultivator. I don't know how to sail or build ships, and I will not destroy the ships that competitors are building for you."
"That's not what I meant. I'm not bragging. With my ability and vision, the company shouldn't be like this. If those three damn ships hadn't been in trouble, it should be the Cunard Company that is being beaten to the ground."
Ismay also realized his excitement. He also withdrew his hands and straightened his collar. "After hearing about Joseph, I concluded that I was also cursed. I beg you to help me remove the curse."
"You are fine." He Songling stared at him with his innate eyes. "Even if the company goes bankrupt or is acquired, it will not affect you and your descendants. I helped you to remove the curse, and the company gave me the entire company as a reward. What's the point of you removing the curse?"
"The significance is that I can't let the hard work of two generations of my family fall into Canard's hands."
Ismay said sternly, "I would rather give it to you, He. I have learned about your Anti-Life Group, and I think it will shock the world. I think it is the best destination for Shirahoshi to join her. If she becomes great again in your hands and defeats Canard completely, I will die without regrets."
"I understand." He Songling nodded. These foreigners also like to stir up some family feuds. It's not surprising. Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet, a story about two families feuding with each other, which resonated a lot. It can be seen that this kind of thing is quite common in Europe.
After arriving at the residence that Ismay arranged for them, He Songling told Zhang Zhiwei about the situation. "That's it. I plan to accept his company."
"Then take it. Tell me what you're doing." Zhang Zhiwei seemed indifferent. He was here to travel. His master had sent him down the mountain to travel, but he fell in love with the feeling of freedom after going down the mountain. Counting all the dozens of generations of Zhang Tianshi in Longhu Mountain, when had he ever been abroad? Just based on this point, he overwhelmed all the Zhang Tianshi in the past.
"Longhushan is, after all, a shareholder of the Nisheng Group. I have to inform you about this huge merger of companies."
"Then what if I don't agree?"
"Then it's invalid. I'm informing you, not discussing it with you. Even if we hold a shareholders' meeting, are the shares in your hands at Longhushan enough to oppose me?" He Songling said that in terms of cultivation, I am not as good as Longhushan, but in terms of modern business, you Longhushan are my younger brothers.
"Pooh!"
Zhang Zhiwei knew that this guy couldn't say anything good. Fortunately, he didn't have any hope for He Songling, so he asked again, "So, why did you let the Great Elder take action this time?"
"Oh, sure." The elder came up with a wry smile. If he could make one more move, he would live longer, so he was willing to do it. But He Songling's words disappointed him.
"No need. I just checked in the car. There are no biological poisonous insects or poison in his body. It should be some Yin curse that hinders his luck. We can just use some Qingjing Fu or Xuanyun Curse." He Songling was rich and generous. He waved his hand and said, "Give him a hundred of them, and everything will be solved."
"You really don't take talismans seriously." Zhang Zhiwei said with some envy.
"They gave me 10 million pounds." He Songling's reply was also well-reasoned. "Even if I don't have the ability to draw talismans at will, I will ask all the talisman sects to get him all the talismans he needs."
He Songling wanted White Star Line for a reason. He had built such a large multinational company. In the future, due to the limited production conditions, it would be unrealistic to build a factory in China to produce penicillin. The laboratory for the development of new sulfonamide drugs could not be built in China either.
Whether it is business trips or the transportation of pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products, you need to have your own shipping company to connect Europe, America and the Far East.
"Go find me this... and this, and this. These materials must be up to standard, and also like this..."
After He Songling recovered, he summoned Ismay at his residence and told him that he accepted the deal to lift the curse in exchange for White Star Line, but he needed to prepare the treasures and medicinal herbs needed to lift the curse himself.
He Songling asked for a huge price. Each of these items was something that even a wealthy man like Ismay could not easily get.
