CHAPTER XVIII

Open technology and patents? Sell a subordinate company?

John? Mr. Huntelaar's words were like a big bomb, blasting the hearts of these giants at once!

What did the Huntelaar consortium of 1920 really mean?

Because it is the private property of the Huntelaar family, almost no one really knows its size and profitability, but the people here are big connoisseurs and know exactly what it represents! In the eyes of many people, the Huntelaar consortium is a behemoth that can be compared with the Morgan consortium, especially the profitability is beyond the imagination of ordinary people!

John's company has been coveted for a long time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The most typical is the old JP Morgan, that is, the father of the little Morgan, who made countless attempts from the acquisition of the bicycle company to the later funding of Tesla. Others were no exception, such as acetylsalicylic acid and sulfonamides, radios, automobiles, tanks and airplanes, ammonia, and so on, but without exception, all of them failed.

The strength of the Huntelaar consortium makes everyone helpless.

Take the most typical automobile company as an example, when the Germans used various means to take away GM from Mr. Huntelaar and thought that they could make a fortune from it, he took all the patent rights and returned to the United States to start the Huntelaar Automobile Company. In the years when the Germans were desperately increasing production to make money, John did not hesitate to make huge losses, invested heavily in research and development of new technologies and assembly lines, and then defeated GM in one fell swoop with the BMW sedan with excellent performance but low price, and became a well-deserved car overlord! And while everyone is desperately investing to get a piece of the pie, John sets his sights on farm machines and trucks, and then develops the most powerful weapon of World War I - the tank!

What's even more terrifying is that the R&D investment of Huntelaar Motors has never decreased!

While other companies have managed to develop cars with good performance and build their own assembly lines, Huntelaar has launched new products, with safety glass and transmissions, etc., while the British and Germans have developed their own tanks, Huntelaar has launched a third generation......

Everyone is chasing, everyone is eating ashes behind the ass of the Huntelaar consortium!

How is it not surprising that a single Huntelaar automobile company now employs tens of thousands of workers and produces millions of cars a year?

"Goo-dong!"

Almost at the same time, several people swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Again, I have to stress that none of you are stupid. Although the First World War is over, and the most lucrative era of the Huntelaar consortium has passed, with their technology and craftsmanship that is ahead of their time, it is enough to make everyone salivate. Because the products of the Huntelaar consortium are the best in the world, they can easily dominate the world market even if the war is not needed.

Therefore, it is conceivable that everyone is excited and excited at this time.

"Gotta get it!"

Tapping lightly on the table in front of him, old Rockefeller suddenly asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, your condition is only that you want us to help Mr. Kent run for president?" Only this one condition? ”

In the old Rockefeller's opinion, this was also too easy.

Although the position of the president of the United States is very important, the strength of the Huntelaar consortium is also large enough, and now it is even more prosperous in the United States, and it is not difficult to select a candidate who already has a foundation if he goes all out. But John used his own high-quality industry to talk about this matter, which made the old Rockefeller feel very incredible.

"Haha, of course not!"

John laughed, shook his head and said: "In fact, in addition to the presidential election, I also hope that everyone here will promise me one thing, that is, to cooperate with the Huntelaar consortium in the next ten years to increase support for China!" Of course, the support I am talking about here does not mean that you have to invest money, but that in the future you may need some outdated technology or outdated equipment, or even help them develop some relevant talents, etc. ”

"China? Which country in the Far East? ”

After listening to John's answer, a consortium giant couldn't help but frown.

Mr. Huntelaar's background is now well known. Of course, John has been supporting the Chinese all these years, and it has also become a beautiful talk of Zhi'en Tubao. But for the giants, this is obviously a very incredible thing: in order to help a poor and backward country, would you rather sell your own high-quality industry?

"Yes, that's the country!"

Taking a deep breath, John smiled with a twinkle in his eyes, "I know you will have a lot of questions, but ...... I must emphasize that I am not a simple philanthropist, and I cannot throw a lot of dollars at the Chinese just because they took care of me back then! The only thing I can tell you is that not long ago, the Huntelaar consortium had reached a cooperation agreement with the government of that country, a cooperation agreement that lasted for ten years and could be more than a billion dollars in investment! ”

"Buzz ......"

Again, there was a commotion in the living room.

One billion dollars in 1920 was undoubtedly a very large number, which moved the hearts of many giants. Although the impression of China is very bad, and the prejudice against the Chinese in American society has also affected their judgment for a long time, those who have been able to come this far know how huge the benefits of a huge country with hundreds of millions of people can produce!

And......

China's performance in Europe and Russia is something that everyone is watching.

If China is still the same China as before, poor, backward, and at the same time weak can be bullied, I am afraid that no matter how fanciful John says, no one will really take it seriously. After all, if a country is weak and can be bullied by a small European country like Belgium, what future can we talk about?

But now, the situation is no longer the same.

More than a million Chinese troops performed well in Europe, at least not inferior to the British and French armies. And after the end of the European war, the Chinese made a great effort in Russia, defeated the European steamrollers, and had no choice but to cede millions of square kilometers of land! With such strength, I'm afraid that even the Americans would not dare to easily say that they can overpower it at will, right?

Although they are still poor and backward, they are enough for people to face them squarely.

In this case, John? Mr. Huntelaar said that an agreement had been reached with their government, so everyone had to seriously consider whether they were going to rush in and get a piece of the pie......
