Chapter 13: Two Big Shots
"John, come, I'll introduce you. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
When he saw his grandson coming down from the upper floor, old Huntelaar smiled and said, "This is Theodore?" Mr. Roosevelt, but he came from a famous family in New York City......
"Good morning, Mr. Huntelaar."
The other party took the lead in stretching out his right hand and greeted with a smile.
"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Roosevelt!"
John hurriedly stretched out his right hand as well, and then ......
At the moment when the hands of the two people were about to meet, as if they were suddenly struck by a bolt of lightning, John's body suddenly froze!
"Theodore? Roosevelt?! ”
Suddenly staring at a pair of round eyes, John's heart instantly set off a storm!
This guy ......
Wouldn't it be the ...... Old Roosevelt, right?!
"What's wrong, John?"
Frowning slightly, old Huntelaar asked with some puzzlement.
"Huh? Oh, it's okay, it's okay. ”
John recovered from the shock, quickly grabbed Roosevelt's right hand, shook it vigorously, and said, "It's an honor to meet you, sir!" ”
"It's my pleasure too."
Although the other party was slightly surprised in his eyes, he still smiled decently.
Looking at the smiling white man in front of him, a thought suddenly flashed through John's mind inexplicably: "This guy is not the president yet, do you want to find someone...... Hit him with a black gun? ”
"Uh...... Ha ha! ”
The thought took less than a second to his mind, and John laughed to himself and threw it away.
As a white-skinned and yellow-hearted man, John's attitude towards the old Roosevelt president was certainly clear. Just like in the online novels he read in his previous life, if possible, he really wanted to beat this guy with a black shot. After all, it was this old Roosevelt who made the anti-China bill long-term, and it was under his impetus that the anti-China bill was abolished from the time limit.
But a novel is a novel after all, and reality is reality.
Let's not say that John himself didn't plan to touch these dark sides, let's just say that the Roosevelt family is not something to mess with, and with the status of the Huntelaar family, there is certainly no need to be afraid of the other party, but it is not wise to provoke at will.
The key now is......
"Why did this guy come here all of a sudden?"
After taking a deep breath, a trace of doubt appeared in John's mind.
Theodore? Roosevelt, one of the youngest presidents in American history and one of the greatest presidents in American history. During his presidency, his main contribution to the country was the establishment of a resource conservation policy, which protected resources such as forests, minerals, and oil; Establish a fair trade bill to promote reconciliation between workers and capitalists. Externally, it pursued the Monroe Doctrine, pursued a policy of expansion, built a strong army, and interfered in the affairs of the Americas. Roosevelt was the first American to receive the Nobel ****** in 1906 for his successful mediation of the Russo-Japanese War.
In addition, he had a distant cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt, the president of the United States who served four terms because of World War II. The Roosevelt family has lasted in the United States for more than 300 years and can be said to be one of the highest-ranking political families......
"In short, this is the big guy in a few years!"
John's heart was tumbling, he obeyed the old man's instructions to meet the guests, but he never thought that it was Theodore who came? Roosevelt, the man who was about to reach the pinnacle of American power in six years!
And no matter how you look at it, it's a very ordinary man!
Thirty-seven or eighteen years old, slightly chubby, with a round face, hair clinging to the scalp, and two big beards curled up on both sides of his lips......
The old Roosevelt in John's eyes was an ordinary American man.
However, when John really figured out the identity of the opponent, he naturally didn't dare to underestimate the other party. Being able to be ranked among the fifteenth of the top 100 people who have influenced the United States, and carved on President Hill, this guy is certainly not an ordinary person! Two or three years later, this guy tried his best to promote the Spanish-American War, and later came up with the famous saying "warm words in the mouth, big stick in the hand", these things made John remember deeply!
While John was observing Roosevelt, the future magnate was quietly observing him.
At most, he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, and his height of more than six feet, coupled with his muscular figure, made Roosevelt, who was much shorter than John, feel a natural oppressive force. And more importantly, although John in front of him is young, he is a thoroughly rich man, and the situation of being in a high position all the year round has also made him naturally cultivate a kind of prestige!
In the final analysis, the so-called prestige is the embodiment of a person's status.
John? Huntelaar, a name that is not very special in the minds of ordinary people, at least far less famous than Edison, Rockefeller and even Morgan and others. But as one of the oldest families in New York and a banking family, haven't heard of John? With the name Huntelaar, Roosevelt would not have become president of the United States in a few years!
There is no doubt that this guy, who is ten years younger than himself, is a big man!
A well-known surgeon in the United States and even the world, this could be John? Mr. Huntelaar is the only and primary identity. But Roosevelt knew very well in his heart that this could also be the most inconspicuous identity of the other party! John was one of the world's most famous physicists, at least as far as he knew, and it was said that just three papers had brought him to the pinnacle of his reputation in the field of physics—physicists in an era where physicists were far more advanced than physicians.
Of course, that's still not the most important thing.
What's more important is this John? Huntelaar started from scratch and saved a big business!
Heinz Pharmaceutical, Heinz Medical Devices, Heinz Motors, Heinz Commodities, Heinz Bank, Heinz Insurance, Heinz General Hospital & Medical College, Nike, Adidas, Heinz Elevator, Motorola, American Power, Carnegie Steel, Lego......
The thought of this string of names made Roosevelt feel the urge to gasp!
Because John and Old Huntelaar can keep a low profile, ordinary people may have been using the products of these companies all the time, but it is difficult for them to understand who these companies belong to and how large they are. But Theodore, who was born in the Roosevelt family and at the same time wanted to develop in politics? How could Roosevelt not understand?
Not to mention, just one Motorola Communications company can reap hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits a year!
Because of John's appearance and covert help, the continuous support of huge funds, and the full firepower of Tesla's genius, radio technology in 1895 far exceeded the level of the same period in the original world, and even reached the level of technology during World War I. Don't think it's impossible, after all, John's appearance changed so many things, not only technically, but also conceptually. At his insistence, Tesla did not fight alone, but built a team with a clear division of labor, more advanced than Edison's original research team, and the huge amount of money was enough to support their high consumption.
Coupled with the support of the Huntelaar family, neither Edison nor Carnegie dared to fight the idea of Motorola in this world, so Motorola developed completely in just a few years.
Every year, the radios are sold, and a huge amount of patent money can be obtained from the hands of Europeans!
Although John and the Americans had to agree to hand over radio technology to the Europeans because of national strength and political influence, it did not mean that it had to be transferred free of charge. In fact, the Americans are not easy to mess with, and the Huntelaar family is not easy to mess with, so in addition to a huge patent transfer fee at the beginning, Europeans have to pay the Huntelaar family a royalty for each radio produced, for a period of five years, and the price is fifty dollars per unit......
Far from it.
In short, in Roosevelt's eyes, the old Huntelaar is undoubtedly a big man, but he knows better who is the real founder and owner of this business empire, and it is this young man in front of him!
This man is the purpose of his visit today.
On this summer morning, John? Huntelaar, Theodore? Roosevelt, a big man in New York City now, a big man in the future of America, met each other for the first time...... (To be continued.) )
