On January 1, 1898, the whole of New York was concerned with only one thing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After a long period of planning, New York City was merged into five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, and Staten Island. In particular, the addition of Brooklyn has basically formed modern New York.

This is great news for the Huntelaar family.

Because of John's prophetic foresight, they had already purchased a large amount of land in Brooklyn, and compared to Manhattan, the price of land in Brooklyn can be described as the price of cabbage. Therefore, when the news of Brooklyn's annexation to New York was confirmed, the Huntelaar family had hundreds of thousands of dollars in assets out of thin air, and it is conceivable that it will continue to increase in value in the future......

It's just a little thing, and I can't see John's eyes anymore.

Because in addition to spending his mind on the new international students, John's attention is basically on the two famous bulls......

……

"Haha, I'm so happy today."

Holding the hand of a middle-aged white man firmly, John smiled very happily: "Mr. Browning, I am a real shooting enthusiast, I have been training with live ammunition almost every week, and I have collected more than two hundred firearms so far. To be honest, the breech gun you designed back then can at least rank in the top five of advanced guns in my mind! ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Huntelaar."

Browning's face also showed a happy smile, and he nodded again and again: "But I believe that after our automatic smoothbore gun is produced, I believe that this ranking will change a lot!" ”

"Of course, I never doubted that!"

After nodding vigorously, John invited Mr. Browning to sit down on the couch.

After a moment of greetings, another middle-aged white man next to him stepped forward, put down a stack of papers in front of John and Browning, and then put down a pen respectively, and then said with a smile: "Gentlemen, although you have already reviewed this cooperation contract, I must repeat the main content for you again: Mr. Huntelaar has invested in the plant, machinery, workers, and $20,000 in cash that he now has in Brooklyn, and Mr. Browning has invested in his new gun patent and all future patents. Jointly established the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company, in which Huntelaar owns 80% of the shares and Mr. Browning owns 20% of the shares......"

"If there is no problem, the two of you can sign."

As Mr. Lawyer's last words fell, Browning signed his name without hesitation.

If the other party is a full-fledged arsenal or a small company with a small name, Browning will probably hesitate again and again. But if it was the famous Mr. Huntelaar, and it was a new company that was being set up, what did Browning hesitate about? The other party made it clear that it would not interfere with its own design and research, and only valued the interests of the future, which was undoubtedly the result that this weapon design genius was most looking forward to.

John, on the other hand, signed his name after the corners of his mouth curled up in a wonderful arc.

"Hehe, I've earned another big bull!"

After signing the book, John was really happy.

If it weren't for the fact that he had the idea of building an arsenal and sent people to poach people all over the United States, how could he have easily gotten the news that Browning had designed a new weapon, but no American factory was willing to mass-produce it? Now he has picked up a big bargain, one of the biggest weapon design geniuses in the United States, and now it is officially incorporated into his own system!

That's right, this is the Browning!

As early as 1883, Browning designed his own breech gun, which was purchased by Winchester, the largest supplier to the U.S. military, and John still liked the gun. But when Browning designed an automatic smoothbore gun last year in 1897, using the energy of the gas in the chamber of the gun as a source of energy for automatic reloading, Winchester refused to produce it in series.

Browning went to the National Arsenal of Herstal in Belgium, later known as the FN company, and became its chief gunsmith. Most of Browning's creations were also produced by the Belgian company FN, which eventually propelled the company to the status of a world-famous manufacturer of small arms, and its products have endured......

Now that John knew about this life, he naturally couldn't let the Belgians take advantage of it anymore.

Just by using patents and future patents to buy shares, he can get a large number of shares in the company, and the company will fully support him in researching and producing weapons of his own design, which is not a small attraction to Browning! Moreover, with the current influence and status of the Huntelaar family, it is also very easy to apply for a weapons production license, so after half a year of contact between the two sides, not only has the factory been built and can be put into production at any time, but the final cooperation method between the two sides has also been determined.

Giving Browning thirty percent of the shares, John was also willing.

In an era when army weapons were mainly single-shot rifles, a genius designer was enough to decide the rise and fall of an arsenal, and Browning was undoubtedly the best of them. If you add to this the occasional flash of inspiration from Mr. Huntelaar, who can say what the future of Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company will be?

"Haha......"

After the two sides exchanged contracts, John smiled happily: "Mr. Browning, I have begun to look forward to the first rifle produced by the Huntelaar Arms Company, if you can, please give it to me for collection, can you?" “

Today, the Huntelaar Gun Collection is eagerly awaiting a new member.

As a time-traveler, and a time-traveler who had amassed enough wealth, collecting became almost an instinct for John. European oil paintings, Chinese porcelain and ancient paintings, 19th-century stamps, clocks, guns, etc., as long as the value of the future will increase significantly, are all in John's collection. He has no interest in appreciating most of the collections, and only collects them for the sake of appreciation, but there is only one exception......

Gun!

Whether it is a pistol, a rifle, or a machine gun, John is very interested, not only usually goes to the shooting range to practice, but also especially likes to collect all kinds of famous guns and antiques! Over the past few years, John has amassed a collection of more than 200 guns, including old guns used during the American Revolution, and the collection is growing.

The newly produced Browning rifle is bound to be the next collection.

Of course, Browning could not object to this, he smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Huntelaar, I will personally send you the ......first rifle produced" (to be continued.) )
