The arguments and exchanges between John and old Huntelaar continued.

In a short period of time, he did not convince his grandfather of hope, the old man was already in his sixties, and while his long life brought him enough experience and lessons, it also imprisoned his thinking and limited his understanding of the new era, which John had long been mentally prepared for.

But over the weekend, he agreed to Mr. Hollins' request.

For the purchase price of 320,000 marks, John could take full ownership of the dye factory, including the land, and after Mr. Brister explained to Hollings the property that John now owned, Hollins agreed to the request that he could pay all the money at the end of the year.

So when the contract was signed, John Shun owned a dye factory.

"I need an architect!"

Immediately after the contract was signed, John gave the first order to the current director of the dye factory: "The best architect in Berlin, cost is not a problem, I will meet the designer himself in a week!" ”

“…… Yes, sir! ”

Despite the blankness on his face, the Director immediately owes himself and obeys John's orders.

For the new boss, everyone is still not very clear, including the director at the top of the pyramid, so for the sake of his own job, this guy hesitated for a second or two, and immediately understood what he should do. But then he immediately asked respectfully, "Mr. Huntelaar, may I ask you what you are asking this architect for?" You know, I have to have a statement when I send out my invitation......"

"I want him to design a building!"

Smiling slightly, John said in high spirits: "A real building!" The cost of construction can reach up to a million marks, and you can make that clear when you invite them! ”

"A million...... A million marks? ”

When he heard this number, the director immediately let out a voice like a chicken. The eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets!

Hollins and Brister, who were next to the two, were equally dumbfounded!

A million marks for a building?

"Is this guy crazy?"

Subconsciously, a thought appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time.

What was the concept of a million marks in Berlin in 1885? The entire dye factory was only worth 320,000 marks, and John had to spend a million marks to build a building?

John didn't pay any attention to the shocked expressions of the three of them, and still said to himself: "In addition, give me an advertisement in the most influential newspaper in Germany." I need at least thirty good chemists, a hundred relevant technicians...... Well, the treatment can refer to the highest level in the same industry. Within a month, I hope that all of these people will be recruited! ”

"Goo-dong!"

After listening to John's order, the director could no longer hold back the horror in his heart, and his Adam's apple surged heavily.

The contract for the transfer of the dye factory had just been signed, and the boss was so generous to build the building with another million marks, and to recruit more than 100 high-end technical personnel...... Just these more than 100 people, the annual salary is two or three hundred thousand marks!

Oh, God!

Is this guy crazy?

The director of the dye factory was like a ghost, and Mr. Hollins, who had just sold the dye factory, was also dumbfounded. Only Mr. Brister, who knew John's details, couldn't help but regret it in his heart after a short shock!

"This kid is really going to do a big job!"

Thinking that he would never have the opportunity to take a stake in this dye factory, Brister's heart was as uncomfortable as being bitten by countless ants! Of course, when John first asked him to help contact Hollins, Brister sensitively saw the opportunity, after all, John had many successful examples in front of him, and the bicycle factory made countless factory owners drool. So on the instinct of a businessman, Brister decided to take a stake in John's dye factory without thinking.

But......

John also refused without thinking!

So today after hearing about John's generosity. Brister knew he had lost his chance completely. If you think about it on your toes, the reason why this kid dares to invest such a huge amount of money must be because he already has good things in his hands that can be rewarded enough - undoubtedly patents!

How much is a dye patent worth?

Brister wasn't sure, but he knew that when synthetic alizarin was put into production more than a decade ago, the world's madder industry was devastated, especially by the French. After BASF launched azo dyes, it became the top dye company in Germany and eventually became one of the big three.

John dared to invest more than a million marks, and he must have had this patent with huge returns.

Brister could figure this out, and it was impossible for Hollins, the former owner of the dye factory, not to understand it. Although he didn't know much about John, he also understood one thing: a man who could shoot millions of marks was not a fool! Therefore, at this moment, a feeling called regret instantly appeared in his heart - if only he had thought it through and kept some shares......

But now it's too late to think about anything, the contract has been signed, and Hollins naturally can't make a remorse, so he can only smile a little unwillingly: "Mr. Huntelaar is so young, but he has such a great courage, and he is more than a million marks when he makes a move, hehe, it must be a breakthrough in research and the invention of a new dye patent, right?" ”

"Dye patents?"

Slightly stunned at first, John was immediately happy.

Dye is one of the most lucrative industries in Germany in this era, and of course Johann will not let it go if he has the opportunity, but the purpose of his purchase of this dye factory is to open the era of synthetic drugs, which is completely different from Brister's idea.

But well......

John blinked, smiled and changed the subject: "Gentlemen, how about I invite everyone to dinner together to celebrate the signing of our contract?" ”

The bargaining had taken some time, and it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

John's reservation made several people a little unhappy, but at this time, no one could continue to ask anything, Hollins smiled reluctantly and refused: "I'm sorry Mr. Huntelaar, I have other arrangements in the afternoon, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you." ”

"Oh, that's a pity."

Shrugging his shoulders, John didn't pay much attention to it. Now that the contract has been signed and the dye factory is about to arrive, he will not care about the other party's attitude.

However, Brister hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed with a smile.

Seeing off the somewhat lost Hollins, John took the Brister family carriage after explaining some of the things he was in charge of. After the carriage started, John said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, I promised to go to Miss Brister's birthday party, but in the end I was delayed because of work...... She's not angry, is she? “

"Haha, how so?"

Brister's heart moved, and he laughed loudly: "Anna is a reasonable child, she will definitely understand." ”

In fact, Anna was indeed a little disappointed that day, and the expression of love was naturally seen by Brister, so after looking at John's attitude at this time, a thought that had already existed in his heart quickly came to him, and then smiled: "Mr. Huntelaar, the servants went to buy some fine veal this morning, why don't you come to my house for dinner tonight?" I think Anna will be very happy to see you! ”

"Of course that's good, thank you for having me."

After a moment's hesitation, John immediately agreed.

Although he hasn't had a good rest for two weeks in a row, after the examination of two patients this week, John has been completely relieved that Thomas will be relatively relaxed in the future, and there is nothing to hesitate to rest later today.

And......

"Would you like to buy another birthday present on the way?"

Remembering that he didn't attend Anna's birthday party, John felt a little sorry in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly ponder...... (To be continued......)
