Chapter 35 Donations

At the end of 1951, John? Huntelaar sold Huntelaar Motors!

In 1951, the annual production of automobiles in the United States was as high as 7 million, of which 1.9 million belonged to the Huntelaar Automobile Company, especially after they launched the classic pickup series, and sales went all the way up. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Coupled with the company's already huge technical reserves, there is no doubt that it has become the strongest asset of the Huntelaar consortium!

The final transaction price was $10.9 billion!

This is the largest acquisition in history, and the acquirer is made up of seven parties, the largest of which is the head of the Morgan consortium. The elder Morgan's resentment against the car dissipated perfectly, and the Morgan family became the largest shareholder of the Huntelaar Automobile Company. The Huntelaar Motor Company deal spawned as many as one hundred and twenty-nine millionaires, as well as sixteen multimillionaires and one billionaire. Over the years, John's stake in management has continued to grow, so that he ended up with just over $7 billion.

But for John, this was just the first one.

In mid-1952, John sold Huntelaar Military Aircraft and Huntelaar Civil Aircraft, and at the end of 1952 sold Huntelaar Communications. In 1952, Huntelaar Petroleum and Huntelaar Media Company were sold, with Huntelaar Oil being spun off, domestic oil fields and refineries, etc., being sold to Standard Oil of California, while oil fields in the Middle East were sold to six companies, three American, two Chinese and one British.

These five companies alone brought John $37 billion in revenue!

During these three years, John continued to sell his land and properties in the United States by auction, until the end of 1953, all but three of his homes in New York! Since all the land was the most valuable location, the auction attracted countless buyers, and the land in Manhattan alone sold for more than four billion dollars, and the final sum far exceeded the expert's estimate......

In June 1954, John sold all of his profitable properties.

This was more than a year earlier than he expected, but the cash he received was more than the newspaper hype of the year! The concentration of all this cash in the account of the Huntelaar Bank has attracted the attention of countless people - a heavyweight figure for the federal budget for the whole year. Under the gaze of countless eyes, John did not use the money, but let them lie quietly on his account until ......

New York, 1 September 1954.

When John, who hasn't been seen for a long time? When Mr. Huntelaar decided to appear at the opening ceremony of Huntelaar University that year and was about to give a speech, the whole school was boiling. The students rushed to tell each other, and even the professors were excited, desperately trying to get a spot for themselves. Unfortunately, for Huntelaar University, which has already exceeded 10,000 students, the auditorium that can accommodate 3,000 people is too small to provide so many places.

Fortunately, the school was prepared, and soon the TV station was ready for everything.

In several stadiums of the University of Huntelaar, hundreds of televisions are used in one place, and there are even two movie screens, so that all students and faculty can see Mr. Huntelaar's speech first. So at nine o'clock in the morning, John? When Mr. Huntelaar, accompanied by the school's principal and a group of Nobel laureates, walked slowly into the auditorium, not only the auditorium, which had a capacity of 3,000 people, was thunderous, but the whole school was enveloped in applause, which spread far and wide......

……

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen."

In the very center of the pulpit, seventy-year-old John? Huntelaar still stood straight, and his voice was full of energy, and there was no trace of old age: "It's great to see that the auditorium is full again today, which shows that the people at Huntelaar University are very humane and don't ...... because I sold all my company."

"Boom ......"

Before John could finish speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the auditorium.

With a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, John pressed his hands lightly, and waited for everyone's laughter to calm down before continuing: "Since I made this decision four years ago, many people have questioned it, and even persuaded me to retract this decision many times, because they think that if the companies with the prefix Huntelaar are sold, they can no longer be called Huntelaar companies...... Hehe, at least as far as I know, they're still Huntelaar now, aren't they? ”

"Haha......"

As soon as the words fell, there was another low laugh in the auditorium.

The Huntelaar consortium has sold all of its companies, and these high-quality assets have been enthusiastically sought after by American capital, and many of the big companies have been bought by several major consortia or bankers -- they simply cannot take the strength of one group, or even two or three companies. After the acquisition was completed, none of them were willing to change the prefix of Huntelaar, at most they just added a suffix. The name Huntelaar, which has formed a brand effect, is not easy to replace, so John will say this sentence jokingly.

After a brief burst of laughter, John continued, "But today is the opening ceremony of Huntelaar University, so we won't talk about these things." In fact, I'm here today mainly to explain two things, the first is to explain why I'm retiring and selling all the companies......"

From the auditorium to the gymnasium, there was silence everywhere.

Under everyone's curious gaze, John? Huntelaar patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "Everyone should know that I am seventy-four years old this year and have no children...... Of course, more importantly, I have always been a big admirer of Professor Osler, the dean of the Huntelaar Medical School, who was that when you are old and have low energy, you should retire, or at least give the important work to younger people, and I just do it more thoroughly......"

"Boom ......"

Among the Huntelaar University of Nuoda, there was thunderous applause!

This is a tradition of the University of Huntelaar from the time of Osler, and after the age of 60, although teachers can continue to hold teaching positions, research must slowly take a back seat, unless there is still strong strength and new achievements in their field. When everyone slowly accepted all this, John? Huntelaar's words were easily accepted......

"Okay, that's all for retirement!"

After spending ten minutes explaining why he wanted to sell the company, John took a deep breath and said aloud, "Let's talk about the money from selling the company......

"Buzz ......"

Once again, the whole campus was agitated.

In fact, not only the students of Huntelaar University, but also the reporters who heard the news desperately pricked up their ears, for fear of missing a letter!

Everybody knows that Mr. Huntelaar has that huge amount of cash in the bank!

This is the ...... in American history No, it should be said that it is the largest amount of cash in the history of the world, and the amount is at least six or seven billion dollars! Even compared to the annual revenue of the United States, this money is not much less, but they belong only to John? Mr. Huntelaar alone!

With such a huge fortune, and it's cash, who can not pay attention?

When the agitation subsides and everyone almost holds their breath, John? Huntelaar laughed suddenly, and then he said aloud in a very relaxed tone: "Gentlemen, everyone knows what a huge fortune this is, and perhaps many people know how I have accumulated it!" So in order to keep this wealth from falling into the hands of a few after my death, I have decided to donate most of it to the school I founded, the largest of which is $10 billion, which will be donated to Huntelaar University and Huntelaar Medical School......"
