Running for half an hour every night and playing for an hour on weekend mornings was the minimum that John set for himself.

In his previous life, he was too busy to work as a surgeon, and it was difficult for him to find time to exercise, but this life is different. Although he is still a surgeon, John definitely doesn't want to be so himself, especially in the absence of effective medicines, and if he wants to live a long life, he must maintain a strong body!

Basketball, my favorite sport in my last life, is naturally the best choice.

As for tennis, football, and so on, John had no interest, but he built a tennis court to take care of his wife and learned some skills. Of course, in terms of his height, strength, and speed, even a beginner still has great power, at least there is no problem in cleaning up his wife......

"Next week, next week I won't lose again!"

When she finally left the tennis court, Anna pouted and muttered unhappily.

"Haha, I'm looking forward to it!"

While wiping the sweat left behind after exercise, John said with a smile. The weather in New York in May is quite pleasant, and although the morning is still a little cool, it is very suitable for exercise. The two went back to freshen up, and when breakfast began, their appetite was immediately high, and even Anna, who had always paid attention to her diet, ate two more xiaolongbao made by Su Li.

Since returning from her honeymoon, Su Li has hardly eaten a Western-style breakfast.

For lunch and dinner, John would take care of old Huntelaar and Anna, and would often accompany them to eat steak bread and the like, but breakfast was different. Su Li's skills are very good, he is good at churros, buns, pancakes and so on, and corn porridge, rice porridge and millet porridge are also changed every day, which firmly grasps John's appetite. Even Anna, after trying it twice curiously, had a good impression of xiaolongbao......

Although it was a weekend, there was still some business talk at the dinner table.

In a few simple words, John and his grandfather chatted about the construction of the school, and then talked about the rapid development of the New York Electric Company. After Morgan personally went into battle, the development of New York Electric Company can be described as a rapid development. It quickly became one of the most influential companies in New York. In addition to building power plants across the United States, New York Power is also expanding into Europe and the world, and the production of power equipment has gradually begun to develop, such as the same rapid development of tram equipment, they quickly occupied the North American market.

The Huntelaar family's original investment has paid off tremendously.

As for the radio, which caused a huge sensation at the beginning of the year, now with John's input and Tesla's efforts, version 2.0 has been produced! It took Marconi a year to extend the range of radio transmission and reception from 100 yards to between the ship and the coast. However, in this life, with the promotion of Tesla and John, in just three or four months, the transmission and reception distance of Radio 2.0 exceeded 300 miles, which can be said to have a certain commercial value.

However, Tesla continues to work hard.

Of course, John's help is also indispensable, on the one hand, he continues to invest money to provide research funds for Tesla and recruit more researchers, and on the other hand, he "inadvertently" prompted the Edison effect, vacuum diodes and other concepts during several inspections. After seeing Tesla's thoughtful look. John kept his mouth shut as if nothing had happened.

Scientists like Tesla. All you need is an inspiration.

John never doubted Tesla's creativity, and he was convinced that his huge commitment and the teamwork of dozens of researchers would have been enough to overcome the barriers of time and complete Fleming and DeForrestal's work more than a decade ahead of schedule. After all, in the future, these two will be fighting alone under poverty, how can they compare to a scientific research team led by Tesla?

So John, who was silent, was almost predictable. The transatlantic feat of radio could be achieved at least ten years in advance, and there is probably no suspense that the diode and the transistor, two inventions that can change the history of world communications, appeared about ten years in advance!

But......

By the time breakfast was over, John finally realized that something was not quite right, because it was all good. But there was a hint of worry hidden between old Huntelaar's brows, as if something was pressing on his heart.

Waving his hand to signal his wife to leave first, John followed old Huntelaar to the sofa and sat down, and asked with a smile, "Grandpa, is there anything bothering?" I see you don't seem to have eaten much for breakfast today. ”

Although he is getting older, the old Huntelaar has always been in very good health, and his diet is very regular, and he did eat a little less this morning.

"Hmm."

After a moment's hesitation, old Huntelaar nodded and said, "There are some things that make me difficult to let go. ”

"Where?"

Raising his eyebrows, John asked with concern.

Quietly looking at his grandson, old Huntelaar suddenly smiled and said, "About our plan to buy a bank, what, would you like to listen?" ”

"Uh......"

After hearing his grandfather's answer, John immediately grinned.

Of course, he was not interested in the plan to buy the bank, and he really didn't understand it very well, but seeing the flash of anticipation in the eyes of old Huntelaar, John hesitated for a moment and smiled: "If you are willing to say it, of course I am willing to listen, but this bank will be under my name in the future, so naturally I have to care about it!" ”

"Humph!"

Old Huntelaar was obviously not very satisfied with his grandson's hippie smiley answer, but his expression quickly became solemn: "John, my original plan was to complete the acquisition of the bank by the end of the year or early next year, and now I have found a few suitable targets, but ...... The more I know about it lately, the more I feel a little bottomless! ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Slightly stunned, John asked in confusion. Over the years, he has rarely seen old Huntelaar like this, even when he insisted on investing in the acquisition of a dye factory or something, old Huntelaar was opposed at most, and he never looked like this.

"Because I'm a little uneasy."

Frowning, the elder Huntelaar explained: "In recent years, the economic development of the United States has been very fast, especially in the past three or four years, the railway has set off a wave of construction climax, and the new railways have reached more than 10,000 kilometers every year, which is even more ferocious than the last time; In addition, the production of steel and coal has also increased rapidly, and the price of steel has fallen sharply every year...... John, I've been through the Jay-Cook financial bankruptcy and the railroad investment spree a decade ago, and it's so much like those two times......"

"Economic crisis?"

After listening to old Huntelaar's explanation, John's eyes widened.

John didn't know if his grandfather understood what an economic crisis was, but when he was studying in his previous life, he didn't learn much about the "dross" of capitalist society, so he naturally understood what was going on when he heard it.

Subconsciously, John searched in his mind.

The clearest memories are, of course, the Great Global Crisis fifty years later, followed by the First Economic Crisis of 1825 and the Bank of America Crisis of 1907. However, after activating the "search engine" at this time, John quickly found a set of numbers in his memory: 1890-1893, the fourteenth economic crisis!

Merely......

"It's too easy, isn't it?"

After finding the information he was looking for, John's brow couldn't help but furrow. This memory is what he occasionally sees on the Internet, but the account of the economic crisis is very simple, only the decline in the output and price of industrial goods such as steel, the collapse of hundreds of banks, and so on.

That's enough, though!

John couldn't help but show a smile between his eyebrows, and nodded: "Grandpa, I also have a little research on this aspect, if nothing else, I'm afraid that the life of Americans will be difficult next year......

"You have studied these as well?"

When he opened his mouth, Old Huntelaar's expression was obviously very distrustful of his grandson!

"Uh......"

John's face darkened, and he suddenly said angrily: "Grandpa, really, don't lie to you, when I was studying in Berlin, I did have a certain amount of research in this area, if you don't mention it, I almost forgot about it!" Well, I suggest that we slow down the acquisition of banks, we still know too little about the banking industry, and it would be too dangerous to do it now! ”

"Hmm......"

Although he still didn't believe it, old Huntelaar himself also had a bad premonition, and after a long silence, he nodded and said, "But if we don't plan to make a move, what about our loan?" Two million dollars can't just be left out there, right? ”

The contracts have been signed, and there is a cost to breach the contract, and the old Huntelaar is naturally a little reluctant in his heart.

"Of course not!"

As soon as he thought of having two million dollars placed there, John suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, why don't you give me this money to use, I can use it here!" ”

Hearing his grandson say this, old Huntelaal suddenly glared and said, "For you?" You're not going to spend money on building schools, are you? I'm telling you, absolutely not! ”

"Why?"

With a smile on his face, John asked dissatisfied.

In fact, John has already planned the funds for the school, and it will gradually arrive in the next two or three years, but it is also a pleasure to be able to invest in it all at once, and John also hopes that the school can be completed one day sooner. And after thinking about it, he still plans to buy more land near the school to reserve for the future.

Old Huntelaar waved his hand and said angrily: "Because there is no need for that!" Okay, that's all for that, aren't you and Anna going horseback riding? Let's go, don't let her wait......"
