“…… Sir, it is a pleasure to be able to work with you! ”

Finally, holding the old Rockefeller's right hand, John said with a smile: "We will leave the rest to the people below to operate......

"Hmm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Nodding simply, Rockefeller suddenly spoke: "By the way, I know that you have acquired a lot of Chinese antiques, the quantity is very large, is there any better porcelain?" You know, John has been suddenly very interested in porcelain lately......"

"Sorry, private collections are never taken out."

With a slight frown, John refused without hesitation.

"Hehe, okay."

Rockefeller didn't say much, just nodded and let go of his right hand. However, before turning to leave, the old Rockefeller suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "The recent matter about the establishment of the Federal Reserve seems to be quite lively, and we should find a time to talk about it later......

……

"John, what do you want?"

I don't know when Anna came over and pulled John out of his musings.

"Uh...... It's nothing. ”

With a wry smile, John quickly put that little distraction behind him. From Rockefeller's mouth, John heard the famous Federal Reserve in later generations, and John was indeed a little distracted. The president of Huntelaar Bank has told him about this many times, but every time he hears it, he can't help but let his thoughts fly away.

In his last life, John saw a lot about the Federal Reserve.

He knows that this is an institution that can influence the direction of the world economy, and on the Internet, there are countless claims about the Federal Reserve, some say that he is controlled by the mythical family of European finance, some say that he is controlled by several major conglomerates, some say that it is privately owned, and there are all kinds of things anyway. But when he really came to this era, John discovered that the truth was not that complicated......

As a tycoon, John certainly didn't have to wait until the banquet was over.

After meeting Taft again when he woke up, and having made an appointment with him for a medical examination of Taft himself and his wife, John and his wife went home.

The deal with Rockefeller was completed today, which made John feel very comfortable.

In addition to the world-famous, and the large oil fields of East Texas that have been overwritten in online novels, John also bought the land where some oil fields in southern and western Texas are located - thanks to the blessings of the authors of the starting novel, John went to check the information of the Texas oil fields in his last life, and even checked a lot of information about the big oil fields in Ohio, which is the victory of speculation in this life.

In exchange for a company from Rockefeller, in order to develop the big Texas oil fields!

Nowadays, the automobile industry is just getting started, and the demand for oil is not very large, so once the Texas oil field is born, it can immediately establish the status of Huntelaar Oil Company. It's just that with no foundation at all, John can only choose to buy a ready-made company outright, so what could be more suitable than a legacy from Standard Oil?

When they returned home refreshed, John and Anna were greeted by the anxious expression of the butler!

"Madame......"

Instead of being the first to greet John, the butler walked up to Anna's side and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, we just received a message...... Mr. Brister, he ......"

"My father? What happened to him? ”

Anna's expression immediately became nervous, and she grabbed the butler's arm and asked hurriedly.

John's brows furrowed, and he hurriedly stepped forward to hug Anna's body, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" What message did you receive? ”

"Boom."

After swallowing a mouthful of spit, the butler whispered, "Sir, Mr. Brister passed away yesterday...... I'm sorry, but the person who received the telegram told me the news directly......"

"Sizzle...... Passed away? ”

After hearing the news, John suddenly gasped.

Quickly turned his head to look at Anna, and in John's worried gaze, Anna's face instantly turned pale, and there was no trace of blood......

……

On August 19, 1911, John's father-in-law, Mr. Brister, died.

Mr. Brister, who was just over 60 years old, was not very old, although the average life expectancy of Europeans in this era was not very long, but he was wealthy for his family...... For the Brister family, who are now considered wealthy, their sixties really can't be considered old. After all, for a wealthy person, even in an era when health and medical conditions are not very good, it is very common to live to be seventy or eighty years old.

But......

While out on business, Mr. Brister gets into a car accident!

A truck loaded with heavy loads crashed into a Lincoln sedan in Brister, and John's father-in-law died before he could reach the hospital. In recent years, General Motors has been bent on suppressing Huntelaar Automobile Company in cars, so it has neglected the investment in trucks and buses, and the quality of trucks is a bit unacceptable. As a result, as soon as the assembly line of Huntelaar Automobile Company came out, GM's lead was suddenly wiped out, if it were not for the rapid expansion of the American market, which made Huntelaar Automobile Company have no time to look west......

Uh, that's a long way off.

The sudden death of Mr. Brister has dealt a very serious blow to Anna!

Although she gradually adapted to life in New York, the longer she stayed in North America, the more Anna missed her parents. But because the Huntelaar consortium is getting bigger and bigger, and John's career in China is at a critical juncture, the two have returned to Europe less and less. Therefore, Anna can only contact her parents in the form of letters or telegrams......

Now the bad news came, and it suddenly seemed like the sky was about to fall!

After spending a long night with Anna, early the next morning, John ordered the butler to book a ticket to Europe. The Elizabeth happened to be absent, and it was not easy to buy tickets for those high-speed cruise ships on a temporary basis. However, he was also the housekeeper of the Huntelaar family, and after some twists and turns, he still bought a boat that would depart in three days.

For three days, John was almost spinning.

Barely having finished dealing with their various industries, on August, the Huntelaar couple and a large entourage embarked on one of the fastest luxury cruise ships and headed for Europe again after a few years. Only this time they are not there to visit relatives or business, but to go for the funeral!

And this time, it's not just Europe that they're going to...... (To be continued.) )
