"Gentlemen, please welcome the President of the United States, William? Howard? Mr. Taft! ”

With the sound of passionate music, the people in the banquet hall immediately cheered. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info William? Howard? Taft, the current Mr. President of the United States, walked into the ballroom with his huge belly in hand!

John and Anna also stood up politely and began to applaud softly.

In his two years in office, Taft was not highly regarded in the United States. Taft was actually pushed to power by Roosevelt, who said that he was the most suitable person in the country to be president, but in fact Taft was conservative, not good at rhetoric, did not have the ability to control the Republican Party, and he lacked political skills to implement a series of extreme and conservative policies. To put it simply, in terms of policy, he completely implemented the old routine of the former president, but he lacked the courage of the old Roosevelt!

Crucially, Taft had just fallen out with Roosevelt.

But that doesn't stop Taft from being respected as president, even if he splits the Republican Party two years later and cedes the presidency to Democrats. So when Taft walked into the banquet hall with a smile on his face, the cheers were still loud as if the roof was about to be torn off......

……

"Mr. Huntelaar, I am very sorry."

In the VIP lounge, Taft, who was a little tired from speeches and greetings, shook his head and said helplessly: "Because of those things you did in the Far East, the White House has been under a lot of pressure these days!" You know, the Russians and the Japanese are okay, but we can't ignore the protests of the British and French, so ...... The White House hopes that the Huntelaar consortium will reduce its support for those military strongmen in the Far East! ”

"Hehe, isn't the White House encouraging us to go out and invest now?"

Taking a sip of the coffee in his hand, John smiled faintly: "My investment in the Far East is only for profit, and it does not involve the political field, I think they should have overreacted." ”

After listening to John's answer, Taft couldn't help but frown: "Really? So you have opened so many schools in the Far East and sponsored so many Chinese students, all for profit? ”

"Of course!"

Raising his eyebrows, John's eyes instantly flashed a gloomy, and he responded lightly: "If there are not enough talents, who will run our company?" Who will run our factory? And like cars, tractors and airplanes, if there is no talent, how many people in China can drive? Don't forget, Mr. President, it's a huge market of 450 million people, but we need to nurture them first...... Maybe I'm not as good as you politically, but when it comes to business...... Hehe. ”

Without continuing, John took another leisurely sip of coffee.

"Uh......"

Taft could only be speechless about John's reply.

Few people in this day and age will know, John? Mr. Huntelaar actually didn't know much about business, and he relied on old Huntelaar in the front and experts like Taylor or Ford in the back. They all know stories that have long been written in newspapers and magazines: in their early years, they accumulated their first pot of gold with their bicycles, and later started pharmaceutical companies, automobile companies, etc., and became the richest man in the world by themselves.

Taft's understanding of John is also in a very superficial position.

So Taft couldn't refute this sentence, so he could only smile helplessly: "In short, you can take him as a warning from the White House to you, if you continue to provoke the British and French in the affairs of the Far East, I'm afraid there will be a lot of bad things in the future......"

"Really?"

When he heard this, John smiled slightly, raised his eyebrows with a little disdain, and said, "Those Europeans still have the leisure to take care of my affairs in the Far East?" Hehe...... Also, before these idiots started fighting, they really thought that life would be so comfortable day by day, right? ”

"Huh? What did you just say? Europe fighting? “

Taft was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Coughing lightly twice, John smiled a little awkwardly: "Haha, have you ever heard of a famous quote from Bismarck, Mr. President?" The German had already said that sooner or later the Europeans would fight for a few Balkan idiots......"

John, who said for a while, used an old stalk to perfunctory the topic.

Taft didn't care, and when he received John's assurances that future investments in the Far East would only involve industry and education, he reassured himself and his wife about their illness. Taft was so fat that he was naturally sick, and his wife also suffered a stroke shortly after moving into the White House, so she came to New York every year for a detailed medical examination and treatment. There is no doubt that New York is now the center of medicine in the United States, and the center of New York is Huntelaar General Hospital...... When Taft made an anti-war argument a few years later, he remembered John's reaction today, but by then it had no meaning......

……

When he came out of the VIP room, John looked helpless.

As one of Taft's treating physicians, John certainly knew he had narcolepsy, but this was the first time he had fallen asleep when he met him. After briefly explaining to the president's entourage, John began to search for Anna.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Huntelaar."

Just as John was about to ask his entourage, a gentleman in his fifties came up and saluted respectfully, "Mrs. Huntelaar is now in another VIP room and is chatting with our lady...... Do you want to make a trip? ”

"Oh? Of course! ”

Glancing at the visitor, John immediately nodded.

Of course he knew this man, the butler of Mr. Rockefeller, the oil magnate, and one of his most trusted guys. Therefore, after seeing the visitor, John was stunned and began to guess the purpose of the oil king looking for himself.

Not so long ago, Standard Oil was ordered to be disbanded.

Although the elder Rockefeller had been in hiding in the United States for several months, he had to return to New York when his grandson was born, and then received a court summons. Standard Oil was forcibly dissolved and split into 37 separate companies. A generation of giant Standard Oil was dissolved, but no one expected that Rockefeller still controlled most of the company's shares, and after going public, he obtained even greater wealth - becoming the richest man in the world!

Of course, because of John's appearance, Rockefeller will not have such an opportunity this time, but Standard Oil has just been disbanded, and Rockefeller should be in a bad mood, so why would he come to this banquet today?

When he saw Rockefeller just now, John was a little strange.

Maybe someone else needs to curry favor with Taft, the president of the United States, but for Rockefeller, even Roosevelt can ignore it, and he doesn't need to care about what is ......

"Hmm......"

As he walked towards the VIP room, John pondered with his brows, and then his heart moved, and suddenly a possibility came to mind: "This Mr. Oil King, who is about to get rich, can't he have discovered something again......" (To be continued. )
