"After my birthday, it's time to get ready to go back to Europe."

After making fun of his grandson, old Huntelaar quickly got down to business, and said in a deep voice: "No matter how good the development of several companies is, and no matter how conscientious Mr. Brister is, it is your business after all, and you still have to go and see it every year." ”

Ten years ago, the elder Huntelaar would not have been willing to let his grandson return to Europe so soon, and the vast Atlantic Ocean was the main obstacle to the exchange of the two continents. And not only is the journey long, but the poor conditions of the ship are also a headache. But with a major breakthrough in shipbuilding a few years ago, the time to cross the Atlantic has been reduced to about ten days, and the advent of luxury cruise ships and first-class cabins has increased the comfort of travel, making such trips less intimidating.

"Yes, Grandpa."

After a slight groan, John nodded respectfully.

Although he had left Europe, John had been kept abreast of the situation there through letters and telegrams. Heinz Pharmaceutical's R&D center is nearing completion after two years of construction, and a large number of chemists and equipment have been hired and a large number of equipment have been put in place, waiting to be settled in June. The world's largest and most advanced R&D center was put into use, and John, as the boss, naturally could not be absent. In addition, it is the day of graduation of students from European universities, and it is natural for John to search for talent, especially the person who has said that he will go back to New York to find him, which must be confirmed again......

If old Huntelaar knew what John was thinking at this time, he would definitely tremble with anger.

The old man had in mind his three promising companies, and John went to Europe to strengthen his control over them, after all, they would be the most important industry of the Huntelaar family in the future. But this kid is all about spending money, and he wants to attract more expenses for Heinz General Hospital, whose "business" is already deserted......

Old Huntelaar, of course, didn't know what John was thinking, and continued, "Besides. Your marriage to Miss Brister must also be considered...... Where do you want to have your wedding? ”

"New York, of course!"

Without much thought at all, John said without hesitation.

John himself did not have any psychological resistance to marriage, first, he was born again, his psychological age was far more than twenty years old, and it made no difference if he married a few years earlier or a few years later; Second, he is also very clear. It's not easy to find a girl who matches his heart in every way in this day and age, at least now he loves the feeling of being with Anna.

However, if you want to get married, you must still choose New York, the home base of the Huntelaar family.

Even if the most important industry is in Germany now, John knows that in a dozen years at most, the total economic volume of the United States will exceed that of the world's largest power, Britain, and before the European war in 20 years, he will definitely sell or move the main industry back to North America, so John will definitely not hold such an important event as marriage in Europe.

"Then send an invitation to the Brister family."

After hearing about his grandson's decision. Old Huntelaar nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Invite their whole family to New York, I will stay here to prepare a grand wedding for you, and I will definitely surprise you at that time." But for now, the most important thing for us is to prepare for your twentieth birthday...... Real 20th birthday ......"

……

When he woke up the next morning, John felt refreshed.

It's the weekend, and he's up almost an hour later than usual, and his good sleep makes his whole body feel better. After roughly cleaning up, I went out for a jog for a few miles, and I was sweating just right. The only pity is that it is not easy to take a bath at any time these days, so John can only simply wipe it. That's because of that. He is already considering installing hot water in the hospital's "staff dormitory", which will be completed by the end of the year.

But at the breakfast table, old Huntelaar's words made his face bitter again.

"Can't I not go?"

Frowning and grinning, John asked cautiously.

"Of course not!"

Without any hesitation, old Huntelaar said with a cold face: "Anyway, you are also the majority shareholder of the New York Electric Company, how can you not do it on such an important occasion?" And Mr. Morgan made a special call yesterday. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face if you didn't ask for it to be present in person? ”

“…… All right. ”

After sighing, John had no choice but to bow his head in resignation.

Finally, there was nothing to do this weekend, and John had already made an appointment with his friends to get together, but he didn't expect old Huntelaar to give him a heavy blow early in the morning. After agreeing to come down. He couldn't help but complain in his heart about his partner Tesla: This guy's work efficiency is too high, and the three million dollars of Morgan and those people have just been invested in just two or three months, and the first AC power plant to supply domestic electricity in the rich area has been built by him, and today it officially starts generating electricity!

This kind of speed directly startled John and almost jumped up just now.

Although John knew that the power plant in this era was very rudimentary, and the power supply was only for a small area, and the equipment was almost ready-made, and the factory building or something was not a problem, Morgan naturally had a way to deal with this matter in the shortest time. However, in two or three months, the installation of equipment, commissioning, laying lines and so on can be completed, which is still too scary!

"Small investment, quick results!"

Subconsciously, John suddenly remembered an advertising slogan that he had often heard on TV in his previous life.

Those who can afford electricity these days are either the real rich or those high-end hotels, and naturally they don't care about the high cost of electricity, so Morgan and their cleverness only invested in three power plants in New York that are not particularly large. At the same time, other money is going to other large cities across the country: building power plants on a small scale, supplying them to those who can afford them today, and then ......

Everyone's eyes are on the future.

With the investment of large sums of money, the size of Tesla's research team has more than tripled, and it is conceivable that the power company will usher in a period of leapfrog development in the future: the combination of leading technology and capital will be unrivaled in any era. And once the technology is advanced to the point where it can generate electricity on a large scale and the price is not too high, New York Power will dominate the electricity supply throughout North America!

As soon as he thought that Morgan was at the helm of this industry, John had already begun a moment of silence for Edison Electric Company and Westinghouse Electric Company......

……

"Bang! Bang! ”

The old man was enjoying a hearty breakfast, but there was a slamming sound outside the door. Hearing this voice, old Huntelaar couldn't help frowning slightly.

It's rude.

Seeing his master's displeasure, Hans hurriedly walked out after a little hesitation, and asked the maid Lina who was closing the door in a low voice: "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know, sir."

The maid Lina looked dazed and handed Hans an envelope: "It's an eight- or nine-year-old boy who ran away when he saw me open the door and threw down a letter." ”

"Eight or nine year olds?"

After hearing this answer, Hans couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Looking down at the somewhat dirty envelope, Hans quickly discovered John's name, frowned, and turned around and walked into the dining room: "Sir, a child has brought you a letter. ”

"My letter?"

Just as he had swallowed his last bite of breakfast, John put down his knife and fork and took the letter.

John didn't find any other words on the envelope other than his own name, but the moment he saw this line, John had a very strange feeling in his heart: this font seemed very familiar to him, it should have been written by a former acquaintance, but if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Hmm...... Who could it be? ”

While sifting through the people he had met before going to Europe, John unwrapped the envelope in his hand.

"Boom la la ......"

"Jingle ......"

As John pulled out a few folded pieces of stationery from the envelope, a stack of banknotes was brought out of it and scattered on the dining table, along with some gold coins falling out!

"Huh?"

The crisp sound of the gold coin and the table immediately attracted everyone's attention, and John's eyes widened even more, and he immediately opened the letter in his hand.

Looking at the letter at a glance, John's expression gradually changed, his face became more and more ugly, and finally he stood up with a pout and asked urgently, "Mr. Elber, where is the child who delivered the letter just now?" I'm going to see him right away......" (To be continued......)
