In the documentaries made by the Americans themselves, there is a very interesting argument. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The mega-rich, such as Van Der Bitt, Morgan, Rockefeller, and Carnegie, created modern America, and then were abandoned by the Americans themselves at the turn of the world. Carnegie's steel company was swallowed up by the more powerful giant Morgan, and Morgan, who controlled the railroads, and Rockefeller, who controlled oil, were brought down by the likes of Roosevelt and Taft, and finally ended the glorious era. So in his later years, Carnegie quit his beloved steel company, Morgan ran to the White House to challenge the president of the United States for the railroad company, and Rockefeller fled the country to avoid court tickets......

But it is these monopolists who suck human blood in the eyes of ordinary people are also the most generous philanthropists. Needless to say, Carnegie donated more than $300 million, and Rockefeller donated nearly twice as much. So when Carnegie generously donated a million dollars to Huntelaar Medical Group, John had a brilliant idea......

……

"You mean ......"

Frowning, Carnegie asked puzzledly, "Suggest we ...... to that China?" That donation to China's education cause with all the men dragging a whip behind their heads? ”

"Yes, Mr. Carnegie."

Enduring the unhappiness in his heart, John smiled and said, "That's that China!" You should know that I spent the first part of my life in that country, and I have been following it all these years. ”

Raising his eyebrows, Carnegie nodded: "Yes, I have heard, and I also know that in addition to setting up a bank in the Far East, you have also invested in many schools, and even sponsored thousands of Chinese to study in the United States...... I just don't understand that the United States also has a large number of poor people, such as the South, why do we send money to those Chinese? The mere fact that I have lived in China is not enough in my opinion! ”

"Hehe......"

After hearing Carnegie's words, John couldn't help but chuckle.

John really wasn't surprised that the former Iron King knew so many things. In fact, not only Carnegie, but also giants such as Morgan and Rockefeller, or Roosevelt and others should know these things. After all, John? Although it is not comparable to Rockefeller and Carnegie, and cannot be compared with financial giants like Morgan, as the sole owner of the top domestic consortium in the United States, everything that happens publicly around him must be watched.

So after smiling, John said lightly: "Mr. Carnegie, of course it's good to keep the donation in the United States, but ...... Don't you wonder what kind of miracles can be created if we turn our eyes to that ancient but extremely backward country? ”

"Miracle?"

When he heard this, the pupils of Carnegie's eyes couldn't help but shrink suddenly!

"Yes, miracle!"

Nodding, John said seriously: "You, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Morgan and others have spent decades creating a modern American miracle, and I wonder if we can do this in that more backward country......"

Fooling Carnegie is certainly not an easy task.

John knew this very well in his own heart, and in fact he didn't intend to move the other party with a few words. But it didn't cost anything to talk about it, and Carnegie did set up a fund for foreign countries. So John doesn't care about the result, people don't agree with him and there is nothing to lose, if he is moved, even if he invests hundreds of thousands of dollars, it's a good thing, isn't it?

John valued Rockefeller more than Carnegie.

That super-rich guy is the guy that John needs to keep an eye on, as long as the other party can buy Union Medical College as it has historically done and continue to invest tens of millions of dollars, it will be enough to be satisfied. As for Carnegie's side, it is gratifying to succeed, but it is nothing if it is not successful, and there will be no loss for him anyway......

……

In 1904, New York began to get muggy at the beginning of June.

Although the air conditioning system has appeared, the air conditioning in these days does not need to be thought about, and John is not even interested in inquiring. Fortunately, if you have money, everything is easy to do, and the housekeeper naturally has a way to cool the house.

This summer, John made himself as laid-back as possible.

Except for some necessary work and entertainment, John spent all his time with his grandfather, and the old Huntelaar's body was weakening day by day, as he expected. When the time came to mid-June, the old man could no longer stand on his own, and could only lie in bed or in a wheelchair.

It's just that some things have to be decided by John after all.

For example, on July 1, the third Olympic Games will be held in St. Louis, and the newly formed ten-school alliance has sent as many as 91 teams to participate, and the intensive training and participation costs of these people will be borne by John himself.

It sounds exaggerated, but it's just over $10,000.

John built so many high-standard sports fields at Huntelaar University, there must have been a lot of careful thinking, especially after he later took the lead in the formation of ten famous sports leagues, and the continuous investment every year made the students' sports emotions high, coupled with John's occasional whimsical training "tricks", many people have the strength to participate in the Olympic Games in this era - don't overestimate the sports level of this era, it is really not surprising that college students have this strength.

So the Olympics held on the mainland of the United States is a great opportunity.

It's just a pity that, like the last Olympics, the St. Louis Olympics are also attached to the World Expo, which is as long as five months, and the event management is very chaotic. What's even more strange is that there are only 12 countries participating in the entire Olympic Games, of which Americans account for more than 80%. So in John's opinion, there is probably no better opportunity than the St. Louis Olympics, and maybe those college students can really come back with a lot of gold medals......

After spending the $15,000 he had promised, John began to look forward to the boring third Olympics.

Participating in the Olympics, John has a utilitarian heart.

Think about it, in the future, when the professionalization of sports begins, which university will be able to compete for gold medals in the Olympics? Even if there is, I'm afraid it's a specially recruited sports student, and it has nothing to do with the school itself, right? But in this backward era, with the investment and development of sports in recent years, Huntelaar University and even the other nine schools are likely to be able to take a few dollars, and in the future, they will be envious of the dead......

At the same time, another thing that John had been waiting for was finally prepared.

June 14, 1904, 9 a.m., New York.

In the cosy bedroom of old Huntelaar, the old man leaned comfortably on the thick pillows, and his eyes fixed on a large wooden box on the small table beside him. The box was half a meter square, and it looked strange, with a wooden board behind its flat body and a fresh material in front of it - plastic that had not been around for long. And on top of the plastic, there are buttons and a knob, and there is a long metal rod on the head, like a flagpole.

Not far from old Huntelaar, his grandson and his granddaughter-in-law were also sitting honestly, and John tilted his ears slightly, as if listening attentively.

"Hmm...... It seems like it's almost time! ”

Glancing up at the wall clock on the wall, old Huntelaar asked in a faint voice.

"Well, it should start right away."

John quickly stood up, wriggled a few times on the wooden box on the table, and then sat back in his chair.

The room soon fell silent again.

After a few seconds, all of a sudden, the ugly-looking wooden box made a stinging noise, startling a few people. But before the curious old Huntelaar and Anna could ask something, something magical happened!

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!"

From the box with all kinds of strange buttons, a person's voice came out: "Welcome to Radio Huntelaar, I'm the host Tom?" Hughes, honored to be the world's first radio presenter......"

Looking at the stunned expressions of his grandfather and wife, John immediately smiled.

A new era has finally begun...... (To be continued.) )
