[Comprehensive] The winner of life

Chapter 86 The Unsinkable Ship⑴

The flames of war spread to the rear, and Paris, which was originally smoky and charming, stopped for a while.

But the war inspired artists, and a large number of admirable works emerged.

"For God's sake!" Lin Sheng was about to go crazy, she had made money from the war, she was sitting on a golden mountain, but—"Andrew, go out and shoot them each, my ears are already protesting Leaving me!"

Talented artists are one step closer to madmen, no, they are madder than madmen, live performances come and go, and tenor voices haunt her house.enjoy?Those are all world-renowned talented artists... Shit, eating her, living in her and torturing her, she is going crazy.

"Master, if you want your francs to go to waste, I'll go right away." Andrew couldn't figure it out. It should be an honor to have such a close contact with an extraordinary work. How could it be fatal to come to her? tortured?

"You won't understand, Andrew. Haha, why don't they go to the Phantom's underground palace? And Phantom, isn't he a star who will die when he sees light? This must be revenge, revenge!" Lin Sheng nestled on the bench Sawing her violin like a piece of wood, the Phantom's singing came in again, Lin Sheng was in agony, "I want to go out and clean my ears, let them go to hell!"

Andrew secretly laughed, she has always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted.

"Shut up, Andrew!"

Andrew: "..." She has eyes in the back of her head!

The Les Misérables musical was a huge success, especially right after the end of the Franco-Prussian War and the start of France's second industrial revolution.

Lin Sheng was sitting in Box No. [-], and it was rare that she did not protest this new-life musical composed by Phantom. When the curtain ended and the audience applauded collectively, she turned to Phantom and said, "I still don't like it. , not meant to be critical."

What answered her was a low and arrogant "heh" from Phantom's throat.

Lin Sheng rolled her eyes. For Franc's sake, she decided not to bother with the Phantom—Miss Christine had already left the Paris Opera House, and Viscount Charney was a brave young man who had escaped from home , secretly engaged to Christine.In the end, Earl Shani compromised, who made him the only heir of Viscount Shani, but Christine still had a long way to go if he wanted to become the heir-wife recognized by the Shani family.

What's more, Christine gave up her musical career because of this. What else does Viscount Shani have besides a title and a handsome face?He simply doesn't understand the beauty of music and doesn't resonate with Christine.Ah, so what, that was Christine's own choice.Here, bless this pair of lovers.

The Grand Opera House in Paris has become a world-famous opera house, where one after another classic musicals were born.Paris has brought together a large number of outstanding artists, not only from France, but also from all over Europe. Who would let there be a big benefactor here with a lot of money and nowhere to spend it?

After the big benefactor finished this art trip, he returned to the UK again, and his name became Erica Turner—the name of the world she had always wanted to go back to—unfortunately, the time was not right, it is now [-] At the beginning of the century, what was even more abhorrent was that she was still guarding her Turner Manor, which was the same Turner Manor she spent a lot of manpower, material and financial resources building when she was Lydia Bennett.

Lin Sheng cursed the system continuously for several hours, it was intended to provoke her, right? !What made Lin Sheng even more annoyed was that the system really knew how to tame people by giving them a stick and a sweet date.

She is still the Countess of Turner, with a lot of money, at least this time the starting point is very high, Lin Sheng decided to play snowball again.Let her see, it's [-], and the First World War is still four years away, and there's nothing quicker than making war money, isn't it?

What's more, it's not the first time Lin Sheng has been speculative in a war, and she has nothing to feel wrong about.After all, she didn't even know how many wars she had waged in her past lives.

However, she wanted to make money from the war, but she didn't want to be affected by the flames of war, so she planned to live in another place, and the United States was a good choice.As for the Turner estate here, closed.

In the next two years, while Lin Sheng was preparing to immigrate to the United States, the transfer of huge assets always takes time, doesn't it?In addition, she also acquired a British shipping company called White Star.The reason why they bought this company is because they built the world's largest luxury cruise ship, known as "unsinkable" and "dream ship", named "Titanic".

When Lin Sheng heard this name, she didn't even move her eyebrows. She felt that the money she spent on acquiring this shipping company exceeded her original expectations. It was because of this "Titanic", so she really didn't intend to let So much money has become drifting in the Atlantic Ocean with this dream ship.

Countess Erica, the owner of the Titanic, will appear on the maiden voyage of the Titanic, attracting more dignitaries to flock to the Titanic.The stock price of the White Star Line rose again and again, and for a while almost the eyes of the whole world were focused on Southampton, England.

On April [-], [-], the Titanic set sail from Southampton, England to New York, beginning the maiden voyage of this giant ship.

As the owner of the ship, Lin Sheng held a grand welcome dance.

Somebody brought Carl Hockley here.The main part of the Titanic's hull was manufactured by the steel factory run by the other party's father. Their family belonged to emerging capitalists, in other words, they were nouveau riche.

In order to better break into the upper class, Carl Hockley, like many emerging capitalists nowadays, has a fiancée of noble origin, Rose DeWitt Booker.

Behind her, Lin Sheng's housekeeper dutifully introduced the situation of the Booker family. The death of the male master of the Booker family not only did not leave much inheritance to their mother and daughter, but was a huge debt.Carl Hockley took a fancy to her family's reputation, and Booker and her daughter took a fancy to Carl Hockley's money. The two hit it off and reached a win-win engagement.

This kind of situation is becoming more and more common now, Lin Sheng nodded slightly, and put his eyes on the woman, she is a red-haired beauty, even if her heart is not listless, her eyes are empty and she doesn't know what she is thinking, it will not damage her beauty .

"Rose, what a beautiful name, it suits you very well." Lin Sheng praised sincerely, "Please enjoy this journey, Miss Booker."

Carl Hockley had discussed the owner of the ship with Rose Cop in advance. Rose had a good opinion of Lin Sheng, a countess who broke the current world at a young age and created a huge family business that most men can't match. , I still have a good impression.She subconsciously felt that this was someone who was different from those narrow-minded people who made her feel that she would never speak righteously.

But Rose soon felt disappointed when Lin Sheng talked about those business experiences with her fiancé.

"Rose, does it make you feel bored?" Lin Sheng stopped and asked.

Before Rose could speak, Carl Hockley spoke for her first: "She's a little tired, I'll send her back to rest." Carl Hockley was eager to please Lin Sheng, but he didn't know that Lin Sheng had already entered the steel industry. Part of her business was bound to rival the Hockleys'.

"You are a gentleman."

Lin Sheng took it for granted that Carl Hockley would personally send Rose back to the room, and she staggered away, and someone who was waiting for the opportunity immediately filled Carl Hockley's vacancy.

Lin Sheng saw Rose break free from Carl Hockley's grip from a distance, and quickly looked away.

I have to admit that Rose is unique among the group of people in the upper class. Lin Sheng came to this conclusion after witnessing Rose wanting to jump into the sea, but was rescued by a handsome man from the lower class.

"I saw the spark of love, Ethan, don't you think so?" Lin Sheng asked the housekeeper who followed her like a ghost.

"Wait and see, ma'am."

It was not just sparks, it was like dry wood meeting a fire, crackling and burning. Rose decided to live with Jack after getting off the boat.

"Love is a puff of smoke blown by a sigh, which turns into mist and makes people blind." Lin Sheng used an aria, at least for Rose.In the original "Titanic", after the Titanic crashed into an iceberg and sank, Jack died and Rose survived, so their love followed the destruction of the dream ship and became eternal.

But what Lin Sheng wanted to know was, what would happen if they both survived?When the passion recedes, what will happen to the two people living in poverty?

Just like Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy, before Lin Sheng intervened, they had gradually become an ordinary couple who could no longer be ordinary, even if their union was based on affection.

Oh, of course it was just by the way, this big ship, Lin Sheng didn't allow it to sink in the Atlantic Ocean.

Come to think of it, if this ship sinks, the White Star Line, which she bought not long ago, will go bankrupt, with so many lives on her shoulders, her reputation will be ruined, and it will become a money-sucking black hole.

Have you ever seen a dragon guarding a golden cave throw its gold coins and gems into a black hole?of course not!

On the evening of April [-]th, when the iceberg was detected, Lin Sheng had already negotiated two deals.

"Calm down! We have prepared for the worst, and the Anne is not far away, but I believe we will successfully bypass the iceberg this time, right?"

"When are you?" The captain obviously didn't guess that Lin Sheng would arrange another ship, as if he had predicted that the Titanic would be in distress in advance.

"Oh, I just wanted to make sure. Come to think of it, Captain, if something happens to the Titanic—"

The captain cheered up immediately: "I'll make arrangements immediately." If something really happened to the Titanic, the captain would not be enough to die a few times.

By the time the Titanic successfully circumvented the iceberg, and most people on board did not know about it, Lin Sheng had already sent a telegram—as soon as they returned to New York, they would know that the "dream ship" had successfully circumvented the iceberg. thing!Of course, as for the Anne, which sailed after the Titanic, don't worry, no newspaper will mention this, and I believe the captain will keep his mouth shut.

I believe that by then, not only the stock price of White Star Line will continue to rise, but her reputation will immediately become famous throughout New York and even the United States. I look forward to it.
