As former Princeton principals, Wilson and John? Mr. Huntelaar is no stranger. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, thanks to John's careful friendship, Wilson had a pretty good relationship with him, not very frequent at first, but he kept the correspondence going. Later, after Wilson entered politics and became the governor of New Jersey, the contact between the two began to become frequent - the Huntelaar consortium had long since left New York, invested very much in New Jersey, and also received strong support from Wilson. So this time, after John returned to the United States from the Far East, he quickly wrote a personal letter to Wilson, warmly inviting him to come to New York at the appropriate time.

Wilson, who received this invitation, was of course quickly moved. Thinking about visiting John though? Mr. Huntelaar's timing, Wilson hesitated a little......

"I think it's better to go as soon as possible!"

Just as Wilson hesitated, one of his staff, Mr. Hopkins, squinted and said, "Sir, your personal relationship with Mr. Huntelaar has always been good, and I think it's worth going to New York to give it a try!" And I heard that he had just returned to New York and immediately sent you an invitation, so why not spare a few days? ”

"But ......"

After listening to the words of his staff, Wilson shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Now is a sensitive time to win over candidates in the party, will I go to visit a big man who is recognized as a supporter of the Republican Party...... Misunderstood? Maybe we can postpone it for a while and wait until we get the status of the party candidate? ”

"Hehe, I don't think so!"

Raising his eyebrows, Mr. Hopkins chuckled: "I think people in politics should know that although he has funded two Republican presidents and received a lot of benefits from them, Mr. Huntelaar has never had any clear political position!" But if you have the support of Mr. Huntelaar, it's a different concept, not only is it easy for the party candidate, but also the presidential election is probably 80% certain! “

After listening to the words of his staff, Wilson fell silent.

As a qualified American politician, Wilson certainly does not ignore the enormous power of the Huntelaar consortium! Not to mention that the Huntelaar consortium has hundreds of thousands of workers and is still growing rapidly, which in itself is a huge force, and there is no need to think that their financial and material resources and investments in various places can affect many people, just think about John? Mr. Huntelaar's personal influence was enough to make Wilson moved.

John? Huntelaar has long been a legend!

Over the past three decades, Astor and other old wealthy families have declined, and while their wealth is still enormous, their economic influence is much less than it once was. In their place were the newly emerging American triumvirate - Morgan, Rockefeller, and Carnegie. The former single-handedly founded the huge Morgan consortium, and the latter two have been strong contenders for the richest man in the United States, and their influence can be said to be in all corners of the United States.

But just because you're influential doesn't mean you have a good reputation.

Needless to say, the Morgan consortium and the Rockefeller consortium dared to do anything for the sake of profit, coercion, inducement, vicious competition and other means, making their rise and growth full of blood. For example, Morgan's treatment of Tesla and Westinghouse Electric, etc., and Rockefeller, in the court where the Standard Oil monopoly was punished, the judge once attacked them with righteous indignation.

After retirement, Carnegie was also notorious.

Not to mention the filth in the company's operations, the bloody suppression of striking steelworkers by Carnegie alone is a stain that Carnegie will never erase in his life. So later, after he retired, he went crazy to do charity, and publicized the repression through various channels without knowing about it, etc......

In this era of great change in the thinking of Americans, people are very uninterested in the Big Three.

This is the inevitable development of the times.

The early capital was full of blood, and the rise of the Americans relied on their own abundant resources, and the process was full of killing, and the Indians on the way west, and the Chinese under the tracks of the Pacific Railroad silently complained about all this. And in the rise of American capital, more blood was shed - including the poor immigrants and black slaves in Europe, and of course the large number of laughing factory owners who were squeezed. It's just that in that era, strength was everything, and gangsters could rule New York City in a grand manner, what else was unacceptable?

It's just that with the development of the times, everything is different.

When a country becomes stronger and stronger, and science and technology, industry, culture, and higher education develop faster and faster, people will naturally begin to reflect and begin to seek fairness and freedom. The same was true in the United States at the turn of the century, they began to frantically attack the dirty food industry, and began to overthrow the giants who used to dominate the American economy, so Carnegie retired, Rockefeller's Standard Oil was disbanded, and Morgan even rushed to the White House for the antitrust judgment of the railroad company, yelling at the president of the United States......

Far from it.

Among America's top richest people, John? Huntelaar is like an outlier!

From the very beginning of earning the first pot of gold from Edison, to the later flying pigeon bicycle company, pharmaceutical company, automobile company, and then to radio, chemical, shipyard, etc., the Huntelaar consortium has grown step by step, has always been clean, and has never done anything to bully the market. It can be said that the development and growth of each company of the Huntelaar consortium either relies on the concept of leading the times, or it is unique in the world!

No matter who looks at it, there is not the slightest fault.

So when the Huntelaar consortium really grew, John? When the name Huntelaar could no longer be kept low-key, the old Huntelaar began to consciously promote it. Whether John liked it or not, at the behest of the old man, the newspapers he bought began to promote it, especially John's beginnings were extremely detailed, and even Huntelaar Publishing House published a book about all this. Add to that John's great contribution to physics, as well as his contribution to the development of medicine......

So there is no doubt that John? Huntelaar is very different from other American tycoons.

It's clean and respectable.

So for Woodrow, who aspires to the presidency? For Wilson, the Huntelaar consortium is certainly the best backer. On the one hand, the Huntelaar consortium is strong, not only can it provide strong campaign funds, but it also has hundreds of thousands of votes, and if you count the influence of those workers, maybe millions of votes, which is quite a huge number for the US election! And on the other hand, John's good reputation is also crucial, if the other party is willing to publicly support him......

Wilson believes he may not need to count only on Republican infighting.

Don't doubt this, the influence of a rich man in the United States is already very great, let alone a rich man with an excellent reputation like John. And more importantly, with the implementation of the Huntelaar consortium workers' income doubling plan, the daily wages of all workers, including Huntelaar automobiles, agricultural machinery, banks, insurance companies and other enterprises, have almost reached or approached five dollars a day, which has an unprecedented impact on the entire United States!

A huge stratum is quietly emerging.

A daily wage of five dollars means that a worker can easily feed a family. The high salary policy of the Huntelaar consortium not only improved the production efficiency of its own factory assembly line and brought more profits, but also stimulated other industry peers, forcing them to improve the treatment of their own workers, otherwise they would not be able to retain skilled workers at all. So in this respect, almost the entire lower strata of the United States owe a debt of gratitude to the initiator - the Huntelaar consortium!

The only thing Wilson had to worry about was John's political stance.

Although Wilson had found that Mr. Huntelaar himself had a slightly intimate personal relationship with Roosevelt and Taft, but never took sides in politics, it is difficult to imagine supporting a Democrat given that he had funded two Republican presidents in a row......

"Sir, don't hesitate!"

Just when Wilson was still pondering in his heart, his staff was a little impatient, and said urgently: "A trip to New York is only two or three days, it will not affect your later arrangements, but if it is really successful......

"Okay!"

Before the staff could finish speaking, Wilson finally made up his mind!

Although going to see Mr. Huntelaar now is likely to have a detrimental effect on his candidacy for the Democratic candidate, after all, he has long been considered a supporter of the Republican Party, and it is easy to be convinced. But considering John? Huntelaar had a huge influence in the United States, and Wilson knew that his aides were right—he couldn't let go of that possibility.

In case of......

What if it succeeds?

He wanted to take a chance, Bobo's own good personal relationship with Mr. Huntelaar, Bobo's own understanding of John's political position, and Bobo's own luck!

If you could have enlisted John's support, things would have been completely different.

It is not easy to select a Democratic candidate, and even if it succeeds, there are too many uncertainties in the hope that Republicans Roosevelt and Taft will continue to fight among themselves. But with Mr. Huntelaar's support, not only can he easily get millions of votes and a lot of campaign money, but the impact will be even greater: Will winning the Republican Party's patronage make his fellow Democrats look at it differently? Will having Mr. Huntelaar's support make the American people feel good about themselves?

So after taking a deep breath, Wilson said in a deep voice, "Mr. Hopkins, please help me prepare, we will leave for New York early tomorrow morning ......" (to be continued. )
