"The stock of the New York Electric Power Company must be firmly kept."

On the way home, old Huntelaar patiently explained to John: "No matter how high the price of its stock rises in the future, we must hold on to its stock firmly and not move it for at least twenty years, which will bring us huge profits." ”

"Yes, I understand."

Nodding, John also looked as a matter of course.

Even old Huntelaar could see the bright future of the power industry, how could John, a traverser, not understand? Nowadays, New York Power Company is almost the only one in North America, especially under Morgan's various means, and Edison and Westinghouse Electric are all over the place, and they are almost unable to hold on. According to Morgan's statement at the meeting, he is in talks with Westinghouse Electric and Edison Electric to acquire the company, and believes that he will get good news before the stock is issued.

When the time comes, New York Power will be a real giant!

Such a company, of course, John will not give up easily. And he also understands that even if other countries are unlikely to allow New York Power to control their power supply, as the power revolution deepens, New York Power, which has a large reserve of technology patents, will bring huge wealth and return very richly, whether it is developing itself or transferring patents to countries around the world.

After the grandfather and grandson reached a consensus, they didn't think much about it.

Morgan and the others have decided to push the New York Power Company into the stock market to make money, and both of them agree, which will help the company's rapid development and also help the growth of wealth. It's just that Morgan's idea of wanting them to take out more shares is unlikely to be agreed to by either Huntelaar Sr. or John, and it is only right to continue to hold the shares firmly......

After chatting about the power company, old Huntelaar quickly turned his attention to Motorola. He asked with concern: "John, what important breakthrough does Mr. Tesla have?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a technical improvement."

Speaking of Motorola, John suddenly laughed: "But this time the improvement is relatively large, I believe it will not be long before the commercial plan of the radio can be launched!" Grandpa, you are waiting to meet the influx of orders from all over the world! ”

For Tesla perfected radio technology. John had a lot of faith.

Although it was several years ahead of Marconi's side, with the support of John's abundant funds, Tesla built a research team of more than 30 people! If it is placed in a hundred years, I am afraid that any slightly larger company can pull such a team, but in the United States more than a hundred years ago, in New York, this number can definitely be regarded as luxurious!

A luxurious research team means amazing achievements.

Thomas? Why was Edison known as the King of Inventions? That's definitely not because he personally invented so many things, but because in this age of scientists and inventors working alone. He was the only one who took the trouble to build a research center, and everyone's research patents were registered in his name!

And Benz, Maybach and others far away in Europe, if there is no John? With the support of a large amount of money, they will work their own as in history, improve the research of automobiles little by little, and finally take ten years or more to bring automobiles into the sight of those big people. But with abundant funds, they can pull up a professional research team, and then they have John's vision and creativity beyond the times. They were able to build the Aurora more than a dozen years ahead of schedule, comparable to the Model T!

Therefore, geniuses such as Tesla still need the support of the team.

It is because of John's unreserved support. With one of the best research teams in New York and even the United States at his side, John really has nothing to say if they can't perfect radio technology and surpass the teenage Marconi......

Listening to John's words, old Huntelaar was naturally very happy.

It was an era of great navigation, and it was also an era when the world was becoming more and more connected. One can imagine how important radio is to countries. Nautical, military, commercial, and with a desperate desire for a means of communication that is not limited by space, the elder Huntelaar can already imagine what a flood of orders will be attracted after the launch of a full-fledged radio machine on the market! "Get the factory up and running as soon as possible!"

After a moment of silence. Old Huntelaar said in a deep voice: "Now that the technology has been perfected, as long as it is determined that the radio can be commercialized, then recruit workers, purchase machines, and get them to work as soon as possible!" ”

"Well, no problem!"

Nodding, John sighed in his heart.

Since the old Huntelaar found this Mr. Tesla, the Huntelaar family has taken a lot of advantage. From the alternating current and elevators in front, to the current radios, they have brought them great wealth. Of course, because of John's appearance and support, Tesla has taken a lot of detours on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has also avoided Edison's suppression and Morgan and others' teasing......

To put it simply, both sides take what they need, and everyone is happy.

However, after thinking about it for a while, John spoke: "Grandpa, although the radio technology has been perfected, it is ...... The Admiralty seems to have some problem with us getting it commercially available. ”

"Oh? Do they control us? ”

Old Huntelaar frowned and said angrily.

John shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I can't do it, but you also know that radios have a very important position in the military, so they hope that we can cooperate with them to sell them...... Well, the War Department seems to have meaning that, too! ”

"Humph!"

Although he snorted coldly, old Huntelaar did not continue to say anything about it.

To tell the truth, old Huntelaar looked down on the American army of this era, whether it was the army or the navy. Because on the North American continent, the Americans, who have no natural predators, are simply not willing to invest much energy in the military, and it is indeed very difficult to recruit troops. Therefore, among many countries in Europe and the United States, the military strength of the United States is not worth mentioning, not to mention compared with powerful countries such as Britain, France and Germany, it is also far behind Austria-Hungary and other countries. However, considering that the Huntelaar family is in North America after all, especially now that John has intended to increase his influence in politics and other fields, it is inconvenient to directly refuse the other party.

"Then let Mr. Taylor negotiate with that side."

After thinking for a moment, old Huntlaar waved his hand. But it was only two or three seconds of work, and the old Huntelaar added: "But remember to make it clear to Mr. Taylor, no matter how troublesome the radio side is, his main energy is to manage the pharmaceutical company and the medical device company, and those two companies are our foundation!" ”

"Okay, got it."

Smiling slightly, John nodded happily.

With Taylor and his wife at the helm of Heinz Pharmaceuticals and Heinz Medical Devices, the two companies have changed dramatically in the past two years! Even if the French have completed the imitation of aspirin, forcing Heinz Pharmaceutical to reduce the price, but because the production process is relatively cumbersome, the cost is much higher than the process "invented" by John, and it is basically not competitive. As for local anesthetics, sulfonamides and antitoxin serums, Heinz is still in an absolute monopoly position. Now with the scientific management of Taylor and others, it can be said that the company is even more powerful, both in terms of scale and profit margin, it is growing rapidly, even beyond John's expectations!

Compared with profiteering pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies, radio is incomparable, no matter how profitable it is.

And after a few years of events, the old Huntelaar can also understand that his grandson, in addition to the hospital and the school, that is, he attaches more importance to these two companies, no matter what their future development prospects are, this alone is enough for him to put the two companies in the most important position......

"Grandpa, I'll get off at the hospital."

Seeing the building of his hospital from afar, John told Henry to stop at the door.

Nodding, old Huntelaar couldn't help but ask, "John, ...... your school?" Enrollment should start this year, right? ”

"Yes!"

Speaking of his school, John's face suddenly showed a happy smile: "The first batch of enrollment this year will start in September......" (To be continued.) )
