Chapter 10 Development

In February 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out as scheduled!

In order to fight for control of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, the European gendarme Russia and the Asian upstart Japan began a life-and-death war on the soil of the third country. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the history books written by some people, this war has a high evaluation, and the most important thing is that as an Asian country, Japan defeated Russia, a powerful European country, and broke the myth of the invincibility of European countries, so it is a milestone......

In the eyes of the Chinese, this is, of course, a bullshit!

So under the orders of New York, the middle-aged white man, who had made several troubles in the Far East, immediately acted secretly: a large number of shells that were in short supply for the Russians were sent to Lushun and other places, and a large number of mortars were also transported, so that the Russian army could deal with the Japanese troops in the vicinity. And when the Japanese army's attack was frustrated, the mysterious man sent grenades that were much more advanced than their own equipment, and Nogi Noshinori, who had just died of his son, suddenly found a treasure, bought the first batch of 10,000 at a high price, and ordered the soldiers to carry grenades and start charging......

The Russo-Japanese War was much more brutal than in the other world.

Because of advance preparation, the number of Chinese involved in this war was reduced countless times, but the losses of Japan and Russia in this war increased rapidly. Especially when the Japanese were in desperate need of assistance, the Huntelaar Bank, which was backed by the U.S. government, immediately jumped out and provided a huge loan to Japan. At the same time, the Shanghai branch also took immediate action to send a large number of drugs such as sulfonamides, local anesthesia and aspirin, which had been stockpiled for a long time, as well as mortars, artillery shells and grenades urgently needed by the Japanese to the Japanese front.

At the same time, a large list of supplies also appeared in front of the Russian military governor.

However, to the displeasure of the Japanese and Russians, in addition to the high price, the materials prepared by the Americans also had many political conditions attached: for example, it was not allowed to kill Chinese residents at will, and the harm to the local people should be avoided as much as possible in the war.

In the eyes of the Japanese, those hateful Chinese are likely to serve the other side's army and kill the best. It's just that because these guys are pinching the medicine and ammunition they desperately need, the commanders have to pinch their noses and agree.

The Russians were dismissive of it, but they were equally desperate for mortars, and even more desperate for a large number of shells - the idols sent by the logistics department made them almost the laughing stock of the whole world. Therefore, when the Russians found that they could not agree to it, they could only reluctantly agree......

The Huntelaar Bank in the Far East, which was in the limelight in this war.

They openly supported the Japanese, providing them with loans, arms, medicines and other materials, and at the same time privately supporting the Russians, even if the British heard the news came to their door, but with the support of the US government and the firm denial of the Huntelaar Bank, they could only leave in anger. It's just some arms and medicines, and the amount is not too large, so there is no need for the British to really turn their faces when they can't find evidence.

The huge income was pocketed by John, who was far away in New York.

So between 1903 and 1905, the Huntelaar Bank's educational undertaking in China expanded again, increasing the number of English preparatory schools to twenty-one and the number of German-language preparatory schools to nine. In addition, with the support of Huntelaar Bank, Yung Hong has opened 61 Western-style primary schools and 16 Western-style middle schools in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, Hubei, Hunan and other places, enrolling more than 3,000 students every year!

In addition, preparatory schools have begun to send international students to Germany and the United States.

By the end of 1905, more than 700 students had gone to the United States and more than 300 to Germany. It's not worth mentioning compared to the number of international students who went to Japan during the same period, but it's a great start for anyone......

……

Naturally, the affairs of the Far East were handled by middle-aged white people, and they had nothing to do with John.

In fact, in any public setting, John? Mr. Huntelaar had nothing to do with any of the wars in the Far East, including the Russo-Japanese War, the Gengzi War, and the Sino-Japanese War, and certainly had nothing to do with the Boer War. And the middle-aged white man and the team he led will go through very complicated procedures every time a huge amount of income will be returned to the secret account in small amounts. One-third of these accounts are in Huntelaar Bank, one-third in other banks in the United States, and another third in bank accounts in countries such as Britain, France and Germany.

John had plenty of time and patience to wait for the time when the funds were laundered.

And because of the British watching, John knew that their actions in the Far East were just petty fights, and at most they would increase the losses of both Japan and Russia, and then earn him a million dollars or two. In contrast, the various actions of the Huntelaar consortium in North America are the key to strength!

In January 1903, the Huntelaar Watch Company officially launched the watch.

The technology from Europe ensures the precision of the watch, and the delicate design of the belt buckle allows it to fit comfortably and conveniently on the wrist, and of course, more importantly, the perfect shape design - rounded, delicate and very easy to use, making this Rolex watch with the crown as the symbol very popular! The first five watches were sent to the Huntelaar family, and then the middle and senior management of the Huntelaar consortium removed their pocket watches and replaced them with watches, and slowly affected their subordinates and partners......

In February 1903, Huntelaar Chemical was officially established.

Huntelaar Chemical, which merged the Huntelaar family chemical laboratory and several small chemical plants, launched its new invention for the first time, a strong and lightweight new material - plastic! Due to various reasons such as production technology and production capacity, the new product is expected to be launched in the first half of next year, and it will take a long time for it to be truly popularized, but Huntelaar Chemical has begun to build momentum for it, and requires Huntelaar Automotive Company to use a large number of lightweight and durable plastic materials in the new products. At the same time, Huntelaar Chemical announced its entry into the explosives industry, producing ****** and other types of explosives with its own patents. At the same time, the ammonia synthesis process is further maturing, and it is expected that large-scale production will be carried out next year......

In March 1903, Margaret? Carnegie received a gift that was a year late.

After seeing the moving bear on the ten-minute animation, the little girl giggled all day and fell asleep at night with the same plush toy. And to apologize for being late, John? Mr. Huntelaar wrote "For Lovely Margaret" at the beginning of the world's first cartoon, and it was released throughout New York three months later.

There is no doubt that this cartoon named "Teddy Bear" caused a huge sensation!

Although movies have already appeared, and comics are even more popular in this world, there are no more animated cartoon characters. So in just one month, there were 400 screenings in New York, attracting more than 30,000 people. The 10-cent ticket price is certainly not worth mentioning, but as the animated film was discovered by businessmen in North America and around the world, who bought copies and projectors, Huntelaar Films was pleased to see the hope of recovering its costs and even making a profit......

In April 1903, the Huntelaar Agricultural Machinery Company officially launched the Hercules tractor.

As the world's most technologically advanced internal combustion engine tractor, Hercules has incomparable advantages over other similar products in this era: specially designed engines with high power and low failure rates; With the tractor with a variety of agricultural accessories complete, can undertake farming, harvesting and other tasks, so as soon as it appeared, it killed those tractors with primitive technology. Within a week, the Huntelaar consortium's farms had ordered 50 units and began advertising them in newspapers across the country.

In October 1903, the Huntelaar Automobile Company announced that it was launching a new generation of automobiles, the BMW 1903.

Compared to the original first-generation product, the performance of the BMW 1903 has undoubtedly improved dramatically, especially the engine technology of Huntelaar Motors, which has clearly surpassed the giant General Motors with the support of abundant funds and an increasingly large scientific research team. Coupled with the use of innovative technologies such as plastic, safety glass, removable cylinder heads, etc., it attracted a high level of attention from all car enthusiasts at first sight.

It can be said that the BMW 1903 completely surpassed the three generations of the unenterprising Aurora!

And more importantly, BMW sold for just $650 in 1903! This price is not only much lower than the first generation, but also lower than any other car on the market at the same time! Henry? Ford also assured John that two years later, at the end of 1905, at the latest, the new BMW would be available and that the price would be strictly under $500!

This price undoubtedly caused an uproar.

However, Huntelaar Motors was still not satisfied with this, and then launched two other heavyweight products - cargo cars and passenger cars. The former can carry up to four tons of capacity and travel speed because of the great advancement of engine technology, while the latter can carry more than thirty passengers at a time, and it only takes two or three hours to travel from Manhattan Island to the other side of New York.

In addition, Huntelaar Motors has also started a cooperation with American Power.

Trams have been around for many years, and trolleybus technology has sprouted, but it was Huntelaar Motors that really brought the two together to design and perfect trolleybus technology. For this, Henry? After consulting John, Ford began a drastic reform of the Huntelaar Motor Company, splitting it into four production divisions: cars, wagons, coaches, and trolleybuses, and preparing to launch the first trolleybus system by 1905 at the latest......

In December 1903, three new hospitals were built in New York.

The three hospitals are located outside of Manhattan, such as Brooklyn, and are also part of the Huntelaar Medical Group. And on the first day of their establishment, the three hospitals advertised that the doctors of Huntelaar Hospital would come to visit regularly until they were fully developed......

With the help of sufficient funds and John's vision beyond the times, all the industries of the Huntelaar consortium have begun another round of super-high-speed development! And what is even more terrifying is that these new technologies have just come out as fully mature products, and they can be directly listed for money, which undoubtedly makes the scale of the Huntelaar consortium swell rapidly. John? The name Huntelaar could not be further low-keyed, and together with Rockefeller, who fought against the US government, and Morgan, who was running the Panama Canal, it became a symbol of America's top power......
