In the antitrust war in the United States, the Huntelaar family sided with the president. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although he did not publicly state his position, at the height of the struggle between the Northern Securities Company and the government, Mr. Huntelaar Jr. went to Europe to visit his family, while Mr. Huntelaar Sr. kept his door closed and never made relevant remarks, which has already made his attitude clear to the world -- at least Morgan and Rockefeller and others have understood it very well.

John had no interest in a war whose outcome was already doomed.

And since the old Roosevelt dared to go against Morgan and other giants, he was not the kind of desperate stunned young man, and knew that he had to start with the railroad with great public anger first, then beef and tobacco, etc., and finally Rockefeller's standard oil. And in the process, Roosevelt was not without compromises, such as Morgan's American Steel Company and so on. Therefore, John believes that the aging Morgan and Rockefeller and others can only choose to compromise in the end......

The attitude of the Huntelaar family soon won them great benefits.

The first to bear the brunt is naturally its shipyards. As a close friend of Mahan and a staunch supporter of maritime power, Roosevelt Sr. had already begun to exert his strength for his future "Great White Fleet". John's shipyard began to receive a large number of orders from the Navy, including orders for six battleships for the next five years!

And in the name of domestic procurement, Huntelaar cars and radios also became a major supplier to the U.S. government.

At the same time, the U.S. military began a new wave of redressing. The scale of the army of more than 100,000 troops is not large, and under the impetus of the elder Roosevelt, the Browning II rifle, the Type 1902 rifle, which was heavily invested in the research and development of the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company, successfully entered the army's sight. This rifle absorbed the advantages of multinational rifles, plus John? Some of Mr. Huntelaar's suggestions are extraordinary! And grenades, mortars, and even some artillery pieces have also been bought by the army for trial......

John, who was far away in Europe, naturally knew these things.

But John doesn't pay much attention to these things anymore. Today's Huntelaar consortium is full of talent, and there is Henry? With a future bull like Ford, a management expert like Taylor, and a large team of accountants and lawyers to escort John, he is relieved to leave things to the people below. In contrast, he prefers that his trip to Europe be a purely leisure trip and a good rest.

Merely......

There are some things that should be done or still to be done.

On August 1, 1902, John? Mr. Huntelaar has a cooperation agreement with his alma mater. According to the terms of the agreement, the University of Berlin will accept 300 students recommended by John for the next 10 years, and in addition to paying for the tuition and living expenses of these students, John will also contribute 1.5 million marks to fund the scientific research of his alma mater.

These 300 schools will come from that ancient country in the East.

Although under the propaganda of Kaiser Wilhelm II, the name of **** is still flooding in Germany. But with the victory of the Gengzi War, Wilhelm II, who breathed a sigh of relief, was not as radical as before. So in order to build a good relationship with one of its best students, the University of Berlin accepted John's proposal without hesitation, but also required Oriental students to meet the admission standards of the University of Berlin......

Immediately after signing the agreement, John sent a telegram to Yung Hong.

Thirty places to study at the University of Berlin every Chinese New Year's Eve, John limited them to the field of science and technology, and half of the expenses for all were borne by John!

In addition to the United States, John was looking for another path for his homeland.

The tide of Chinese studying abroad is coming, and John must seize this opportunity. The defeat of the Gengzinian War made many Chinese realize that they had to change, so studying abroad became an important means of learning. Due to its proximity and low cost, Japan is undoubtedly the first choice for international students. By 1905, the number of Chinese studying in Japan exceeded 8,000, and in 1906 it exceeded 10,000!

But John knew that Japan wasn't a good choice.

Modern Japan is learning from the West, relatively speaking, after decades of precipitation, the things they summarized and screened out are indeed more suitable for Chinese to learn, but similarly, many things they have not digested. Therefore, if you have enough personal ability, it is best to go directly to Europe, especially Germany. What John wants to establish for Chinese people is a smooth channel for studying abroad, and at the same time provide some necessary financial support to reduce the burden on international students.

This telegram naturally made Rong Hong overjoyed.

Naturally, the specific matters were taken care of by a special person appointed by Yung Hong and Johan, and all he had to do was to write a sincere letter to the presidents of other German universities, even those in Britain and France, in an attempt to persuade them to accept more Chinese students......

At the same time, John did not stop digging people.

The freshman University of Huntelaar was in dire need of more high-quality professors and lecturers, so with the memories in his mind and the recommendations of his friends, John sent out hundreds of invitations in just three months! One of the invitations, John wrote with great care and sincerity.

So on August 2, 1902, Mr. Einstein received a letter from Far Away in Bern.

Albert Einstein, a junior clerk at the Bern Patent Office, is now in love with his first wife and is ambitiously preparing a series of papers of his own. Therefore, even if he was flattered by the invitation of the famous Mr. Huntelaar, Einstein did not hesitate to refuse. For a young person, perhaps crossing the ocean to get a high-paying job is no more attractive than a pretty girl.

Einstein's refusal did not come as a surprise to John.

Europe was the center of the world and will continue to do so for almost 50 years, while the United States is still a backward place in the minds of most Europeans. So Einstein's refusal is not surprising. Fortunately, although most of the people refused, seven or eight people were moved by John's invitation......

On August 12, 1902, John and Anna embarked on a cruise back to New York.

After spending a few months in Europe at a leisurely pace, John couldn't wait to get out of here. Although he knew that there were still more than ten years before the First World War, in Berlin, the capital of Germany, Johan could feel the tense atmosphere almost every moment. So the longer he stayed, the more John wanted to go back to the New World.

As for the Far East......

"It's not the time yet!"

Standing on the bow of the ship looking to the east, John couldn't help but sigh secretly.

To tell the truth, John would have liked to go to the East and China for a while. But he also knows that now is definitely not a good time, and he has not benefited half of the past. Moreover, under his instruction, the preparations of Huntelaar Bank in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been fully rolled out, and the harvest period is about to begin.

And......

Looking to the east, John knew that in the next two or three years, he would have to make some waves in that land! And in the next few years, he will have to prepare for the war in ten years...... (To be continued.) )
