Chapter 17 Funding Preparation

"If it were a qiē shun lì, the whole project would be completed in two months."

After returning home, facing the inquiring gaze of old Huntelaar, John shrugged his shoulders and smiled relaxedly: "Because of the addition of power grid laying and other projects, it is a little later than expected, but if you consider that it will take a while for Ehrlich and others to arrive in New York, I think everyone will start to settle in the hospital in two months, and it should be a good time to open in three months!" ”

After hearing these words, he nodded, and old Huntelaar asked casually, "Are you still satisfied with the new hospital?" ”

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

John was very satisfied with the hospital that the Steve family had built for him.

The building materials are the best of the moment, and the ongoing renovation is one of the most advanced and high-end materials in New York City at the moment, fully meeting John's requirements. In addition, the wires have already been laid, the places of the elevators have been reserved, and the installation of three telephones on each floor has also begun. The only thing that makes John a little dissatisfied is that the technical conditions of this era are still too backward after all, although a large boiler room was built, which can provide heating for the entire hospital in winter, but there is no way to do it in summer, after all, air conditioning and electric fans have not yet appeared, John can only hope that Tesla can do everything like countless later novels......

……

Regardless of whether Tesla can finally build a convenient and practical elevator as John wants, the final sweeping work of the hospital certainly cannot be stopped, and after a period of rest, John will return to New York to start busy.

In addition to the preparation of the hospital, he has a lot of things to deal with.

The most important thing is naturally the preparation of Heinz Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices North America, although the elder Huntelaar said that he is responsible for these things. But after all, the old man is old, and it is impossible for John to stay out of the matter without heart and lungs.

Merely......

"Are you sure you want to drive a car out of the house?"

The day after returning from the hospital construction site, when John insisted on going out with old Huntelaar, the old man asked with a strange expression: "Don't forget what happened when you came back yesterday!" I'm sure if we were out in the car and it would be great to be there in the afternoon. ”

Yesterday the car made its debut in New York City. Not surprisingly, it caused a huge sensation.

John's Aurora was transported from the freighter to the house, and it was loaded in a box and dragged back by a wagon, and he and Steve went out early in the morning and didn't notice many people, but when they came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon, if the car had visited all the cities for the first time, it caused traffic jams almost everywhere they went!

The citizens of New York watched the aurora eagerly with curiosity and awe.

In addition to paying attention along the way, there were even several carriages and bicycles running after John's car. And finally chased to Huntelaar's house, if it weren't for Johann locking Aurora in the garage and telling Hans to close the door, I'm afraid the house would have been very lively......

"Uh......"

John smiled and said with a smile, "Grandpa, the place we are going to today is at least ten miles away from home, and if we take a carriage, we will toss the dead...... And Benz has promised me that in the second half of this year, they will produce 20 Auroras exclusively for New York. It won't be so noticeable then. Besides, aren't we already planning to build a car factory in the United States? Now it's just a matter of advertising. ”

After seeing the aurora caused by the aurora in Europe. John finally changed his mind and was ready to start building a car factory in the United States. Although automobiles are far from being popular because of their prices and the income of the average middle class, they can already create a large market, whether it is for the purpose of making money or for accumulating experience and technology for the future. John could no longer suppress the development of the automobile industry, just as he was now unwilling to give up traveling by car.

It wasn't that he had to be in the limelight, but in order to no longer endure the bumps of the carriage, John also fought hard.

Of course, old Huntelaar also knew that his grandson hated the carriage exceedingly, so he could only sigh secretly at this time, and reluctantly agreed to John's request. The two got into Henry's car and went out vigorously......

Not to mention how eye-catching the aurora was along the way, it took three times longer than expected for the Huntelaar grandchildren to travel outside of Manhattan Island. Then after getting out of the car, looking at the large factory in front of him, John's eyes were almost protruding, and he opened his mouth wide and stammered, "Grandpa, is this ...... When was this built? ”

"Haha, before I sell my stake in the bicycle company and leave for Europe!"

Looking at John's surprised face, old Huntelaar was full of pride.

Although the old man was adamantly opposed, he finally compromised and immediately acquired a piece of land of more than ten acres, and commissioned Steve's family to build this factory, which is now ready for the machine to be shipped from Europe. Old Huntelaar has been hiding it from John, waiting to surprise him today!

"The land plus the factory cost more than $200,000 in total!"

After the smugness, old Huntelaar couldn't help but sigh.

Once upon a time, as a self-proclaimed successful businessman, the elder Huntelaar was proud of his assets of more than 100,000 US dollars and tens of thousands of dollars in cash, but since he was brought back his grandson from the far East, everything has changed drastically - now, the assets of the Huntelaar family have long exceeded one million dollars, and John's industrial income is calculated in six figures, just in the city of New York, just the hospital and this large factory, The total value is more than 300,000 US dollars, not to mention that the family's main business is still in Europe......

As soon as he thought that he would soon be like a European pharmaceutical company, old Huntelaar felt full of energy!

Although the United States is still far inferior to Europe, the elder Huntelaar firmly believes that at least the products of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company will also sell well in the United States, bringing huge wealth to the Huntelaar family. As for the automobile factory, which has also begun to prepare, it is an industry that he is more optimistic about, even above the pharmaceutical companies!

Listening to the old Huntelaar's emotion, John's heart was also restless: "Pharmaceutical and medical device companies, automobile companies, plus shares in Carnegie Steel, and the power company that will soon be confirmed, the funds to support the rapid development of hospitals and schools in the future should be enough......
