April 17, 1920, New York. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

John? On Mr. Huntelaar's 53rd birthday, the banquet was even bigger than last year.

Although I don't know what my own master thinks this year, he will change his low-key role in previous years, but as a qualified housekeeper, Mr. Elber Jr. is very happy to hear about it. In order to welcome more than 500 guests, he had to abandon his plans to hold a banquet at his home and put it in a huge estate of the Huntelaar family on Long Island.

The Huntelaar family, who have always liked to hoard land, are now the largest landowners on Long Island.

Facts also prove that Mr. Huntelaar has a vision, since he began to hoard land in Manhattan and New York for a long time, and now the value of these lands alone is as high as more than 200 million dollars, and it is still appreciating rapidly, which makes many American billionaires envious to death. As the first consortium to invest in Long Island, the Huntelaar Consortium owns almost one-tenth of the land here, and it is the most scenic area......

On this day, Long Island became the center of the nation.

The current President of the United States, Wilson, is here, along with six governors and mayors of New York, Philadelphia and other cities, and even two candidates for the presidential election in the second half of the year - the original historical President Harding and Dwight supported by the Huntelaar consortium? Kent. In particular, Senate Kent, who is now John's presidential candidate, can be said to be one of the most well-known figures in American politics.

In addition to politicians, the heads of major American consortia are almost all there!

John? Mr. Huntelaar personally sent out the invitation, and of course everyone had to give face, JP Morgan Jr., the head of the Morgan consortium, the old Rockefeller of the Rockefeller consortium and his son, and the heads of the Boston consortium, the Mellon consortium, and the Chicago consortium, and so on. Originally, the DuPont consortium also developed during this period, but because of the emergence of John, the Dupont consortium's explosives industry collapsed, and it lost the best opportunity for World War I, so it never developed......

……

"Mr. Kent, I'm still the same!"

During the break in the banquet, John smiled at Dwight? Kent whispered, "If you want, the Huntelaar consortium will do everything in its power to support your candidacy for president of the United States!" And once you are elected, the only hope we can have is that you will be able to help the Huntelaar consortium if necessary......"

"So, what exactly?"

With his eyes flickering rapidly, Kent asked in a low voice.

"It's mainly antitrust and China issues!"

Taking a deep breath, John whispered quickly: "You should know that the Huntelaar Consortium is now facing attacks from many forces, and we need someone who can help; On the issue of China, we also hope that the new president will continue to be the backing of the Huntelaar consortium like Mr. Wilson! ”

"This ......"

After listening to John's words, Kent's expression suddenly became ugly.

China's problem is not that difficult, after all, it is in the interest of the United States to invest in that poor but vibrant country, and the relationship between the two countries has been in a honeymoon period for several years. The Americans support China in all its ways, and China has followed the United States in keeping up with the United States and is consistent in all matters.

But the antitrust issue that John mentioned made Kent a little embarrassed.

In recent years, as the scale has grown, the Huntelaar consortium has affected the interests of many people, and the domestic call for attacking their monopoly has become louder and louder. Kent knew that if he succeeded in becoming president, he would not be able to avoid facing this extremely serious problem, just as Roosevelt did with the Morgan and Rockefeller consortia.

Of course, John knew what the other party was worried about, and hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, sir, we don't want to continue like this, there will definitely be some changes, such as radio, automobile and aircraft manufacturing companies, the Huntelaar consortium is planning to split and reorganize, but it's just ...... You know, it takes time...... Two to three years at most! ”

"If so, of course no problem!"

Kent's eyes lit up, and he nodded busily. If it was only for two or three years, Kent thought it would still be guaranteed, especially when John gave it.

"Hehe, that's it?"

Smiling happily, John held out his right hand.

"It's decided!"

Nodding vigorously, Kent also stretched out his right hand and shook it heavily with John. And not far from them, another Senator, Mr. Harding, saw this scene, and his face suddenly sank, and his expression became gloomy......

……

"Are you going to support that Mr. Kent?"

Sitting down beside John with a glass of red wine, the old Rockefeller asked lightly: "But compared to that Mr. Harding, Kent's reputation is a little worse." ”

Although the United States has begun to enforce the ridiculous prohibition and the heads of government are in attendance, the so-called prohibition is just a joke for big names like John or Rockefeller Sr. If it weren't for the sake of Wilson and the others to save face, these red wines produced by the Huntelaar consortium would definitely appear in the banquet hall outside.

"Yes, I'm going to support him!"

Smiling slightly, John whispered, "As for the prestige...... Isn't there still half a year to go? I'm sure there will always be a way! ”

"Uh......"

Hearing this, the old Rockefeller suddenly stopped talking.

Not to mention what it means to have the support of the Huntelaar consortium in the United States, which has opened the gold dollar politics, just to say that the rapid development and growth of the Huntelaar Newspaper Group, the Huntelaar Publishing Company, the Huntelaar Animation Company, the Huntelaar Film and Television Company, and the Huntelaar Radio Broadcasting Company in recent years is enough to push a farmer to the throne of a well-known American figure! These major companies under the Huntelaar consortium have formed a giant in the modern media industry, especially animation, film and television and wireless broadcasting companies, and with the help of the huge financial resources and leading patents of the Huntelaar consortium, they have become the leaders of related industries in the United States!

With these companies in place, John is certainly qualified to say that.

"What are you talking about?"

Just as Rockefeller was about to say something more, JP Morgan, Jr., the head of the Morgan consortium, walked in and asked with a smile.

Behind him are the heads of a dozen big conglomerates, or America's super-rich.

"Oh, gentlemen, please be seated!"

Without answering Morgan's question immediately, John immediately stood up and greeted everyone. Today is a rare opportunity to use his birthday to bring together the biggest names in the American business community, and John certainly won't let it go easily. In fact, he wanted to use this opportunity to make a deal with the people in front of him......

After everyone greeted each other, John smiled and said to little Morgan: "Just now Mr. Rockefeller and I were discussing the general election in the second half of the year, haha, I was talking about the Huntelaar consortium will fully support Mr. Kent and push him to the presidency!" ”

"Oh?"

Hearing John's words, everyone's eyes were staring!

Except for a very small number of people with a faint smile on their faces, the others were almost expressionless. Politics in the United States is always complicated, and the people supported by these consortia are also different, and John is of course very aware of this, so he smiled indifferently and said aloud: "Gentlemen, it is an honor for you to be able to attend my birthday party." Now that you've found time in New York, are you interested in reaching some cooperation with the Huntelaar consortium? ”

"Cooperation, what cooperation?"

Hearing this, little Rockefeller suddenly became interested and hurriedly asked.

"A deal, to be exact!"

Smiling slightly, John said lightly: "The Huntelaar consortium hopes that everyone can support Mr. Kent's candidacy for president, and in return, we will fully open up the patents and production technologies owned by the various companies under the Huntelaar consortium, such as automobiles, radios, airplanes and chemicals, etc., which everyone has been interested in, and if you are interested, we will even sell them or allow you to invest in them......"

"Boom!"

John's words had not yet fallen, and the small living room was already boiling!
