Chapter 52 Investing in the Future

On September 1, 1901, U.S. President William? McKinley was assassinated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared to the other world, this time was almost half a month earlier, and McKinley still died on the spot. Roosevelt, who was in New York, got the news, rushed to Buffalo, where the president had been assassinated, and then flew back to Washington, D.C., and a few days later became the president of the United States -- the youngest president in American history and the only president who did not take the oath of office with a Bible!

After the news broke, the entire upper echelons of New York were in chaos.

As the center of the U.S. economy, New York is undoubtedly home to the country's largest group of billionaires, including Rockefeller, Morgan, Van der Bilt and Carnegie. As a well-known anti-monopoly figure, Roosevelt's rise to power was nothing more than a piece of meat given by the giants in order to balance. But no one thought that McKinley, who was supported by the giants, would be assassinated, and Roosevelt took the opportunity to walk into the White House!

For the Rockefellers, this is definitely not good news.

Sure enough, in December, the hard-line old Roosevelt proposed antitrust policy in his address to Congress. He asked Congress to legislate to give reasonable limits to the limits of trusts.

The first to strike was the American railroad controlled by Morgan.

When Morgan angrily walked into the White House and confronted the cowboy president, he felt the toughness of the other party. And a few years later, in order to avoid the subpoena issued by the court, Rockefeller will also hide all over the United States until his eldest grandson is born, and he can no longer hide......

The wheels of history are indeed irresistible.

Over the past few decades, the Grand Trust, founded by Morgan and others, has indeed contributed to the development of the United States, putting the country on top of the world. But this is no longer the case, in this new era of rapid technological change, those despicable monopoly methods have hindered the development of the American economy, so they are destined to be swept into the garbage heap and become a beautiful past in the memory of the giants.

And these ......

And our protagonist, John? Mr. Huntelaar is no longer relevant.

In the last months of 1901, in addition to being invited to attend the inauguration of Roosevelt Sr., John gave half of his time to the nascent Huntelaar University, a quarter to medical schools and hospitals, and the last quarter to the future.

That's right, it's the future!

On October 3, 1901, John? Mr. Huntelaar injected $3 million into his Texas company and asked them to speed up the land acquisition and spend the $3 million next year.

On October 15, 1901, John? Mr. Huntelaar spent $15,000 to buy a bankrupt automobile factory and injected $35,000 to set up the Huntelaar Agricultural Machinery Production Company, which was then handed over to a team of five people from the Huntelaar Motor Company, along with a set of simple drawings for a tractor powered by an internal combustion engine, and asked them to develop a cheap, sturdy, and durable agricultural tractor and related accessories within three years.

On October 23, 1901, John? Mr. Huntelaar spun off a small factory from his machinery company to form the Huntelaar Watch Company, and gave them a simple set of drawings to produce a watch that could be worn on the wrist next year, which Mr. Huntelaar named a watch.

On November 3, 1901, John? Mr. Huntelaar acquired patents for motion picture projectors and cameras through the acquisition of the company, and invested $100,000 to establish Huntelaar Films. At the same time, a small department was established in the film company to study the technology of producing serial comics from negatives.

On November 20, 1901, John? The Wright brothers, whom Mr. Huntelaar had invited by letter, arrived in New York, were guaranteed $100,000 in private funding and ample research funding, and then they joined the Huntelaar Aircraft Manufacturing Company, with a total capital of $300,000, and received an 8 percent stake. With abundant funds, the Wright brothers are confident that they will make their designs fly into the blue sky next year!

On December 10, 1901, John? Mr. Huntelaar came to Tesla Labs on the grounds of inspiration, and after leading more than 30 engineers to work for ten days, the world's first electron diode was born. Eight days later, the first vacuum triode was introduced, and compared to the first in history, these devices were immediately perfected, and were immediately used by Tesla Labs to develop the latest radio and radio broadcasting devices, and commercial research was expected to be completed in 1903.

On the same day, the first Nobel Prize ceremony was held. An award that was already very influential, because the Physics Prize and the Medicine Prize were not awarded to John? Mr. Huntelaar, which has been widely questioned. If you talk about what you have achieved in the last 10 or even 20 years, who in these two fields can compare to the one in New York?

On December 30, 1901, in John? Under the remote control of Mr. Huntelaar's telegram, the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company began to contact the German Krupp company, trying to use the latest ****** explosives patents, mortars, and grenade patents, and reached a patent exchange with the German Krupp company to obtain the world's most advanced artillery manufacturing technology. For this, John? Mr. Huntelaar even went so far as to inject another $4 million to impress the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company by raising its offer if necessary.

In the meantime, in John? With Mr. Huntelaar's mediation, the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company entered into a cooperation with the Newport News Shipyard to begin secretly developing large-caliber advanced naval guns on the premise that Europe would purchase the relevant patents. And after talking to another major collaborator, John injected another $3 million into the shipyard, increasing his stake to 75 percent, and the Newport News shipyard began secretly working on a new type of battleship, which John named the Dreadnought-class battleship. It will be a long process in every way, and John has given the shipyard enough patience and, of course, enough R&D funding.

On January 5, 1902, three years after the Hailuoyin of Bayer AG went public, Johann ? Mr. Huntelaar and Heinz General Hospital published a signed article in the New Medical Journal in which they slammed Hailuoyin's addictive nature and defined it as a poison that is more harmful than Yapian! Based on Mr. Huntelaar's paper, on January 9, 1902, President Theodore of the United States? Roosevelt ordered a ban on the production and sale of hailuoyin in the United States.

This paper and the order of the President of the United States immediately caused an uproar around the world.

Because Bayer borrowed from the promotion ideas of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company and gave Hailuoyin to doctors for free trial, it has occupied a huge market. By 1902, Hailuoyin had become the world's third drug after aspirin and sulfonamides, and its sales were still growing rapidly. For many companies and physicians, Mr. Huntelaar's paper aims to keep a burgeoning rival at bay and to keep his Heinz pharmaceutical company and partners dominating the medical drug market. Ten days after the paper was published, Bayer issued an announcement strongly disagreeing with Mr. Huntelaar's opinion and insisting that the new drug meant to be a heroine had absolutely no harm, and only had "insignificant" side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness and constipation.

So in February-March 1902, John? Mr. Huntelaar has published four signed papers in the New Medical Journal in a row, citing a series of clinical data to illustrate the dangers of hailuoyin. And to the embarrassment of the Germans, a lot of the data comes from the University of Berlin, the University of Heidelberg, the University of Leipzig and other German university hospitals, especially those surgeries that use hailuoyin for analgesia.

Germany and the United States, Bayer and Huntelaar, are caught in a war of scolding that has long been doomed.

At the beginning of March 1902, after booking a ticket to Europe, John ? Mr. Huntelaar began to integrate his various experimental R&D departments, which were eventually merged and organized into five laboratories: Tesla Labs, which studies wireless communications and wireless broadcasting; chemical laboratories working on explosives, plastics and synthetic ammonia; an automated laboratory for the study of automotive technology and assembly lines; Industrial laboratories for the study of modern machinery and precision mechanical engineering, as well as the Huntelaar laboratory integrated by the R&D department of the medical system!

The five major laboratories received a capital injection of 2 million US dollars each for the first time!

The huge income of more than 50 million dollars brought by Carnegie Steel to the Huntelaar family, plus the investment in the Far East, Tesla and universities, was spent by John in less than half a year, and shocked all those in the know for a while. Only John himself knows that he is investing in the future.

Finally, in early April 1902, after John had booked a ticket to Europe, another great figure in the Huntelaar system, the master steward, Taylor, understood. With John's continuous "reminder" and support, after more than ten years of unremitting research, and with the support of various companies in the Huntelaar system, Taylor and John co-signed and published a condensed version of "Principles of Scientific Management" ten years ahead of schedule!

Huntelaar published and printed 5,000 copies at once, and then John personally delivered them to all the management of the company under his name. At this unprecedented gathering of the Huntelaar system, John? Huntelaar emphasized the importance of this book and demanded that all factories must start researching and implementing the most important standardization principles, and violators will be severely punished!

In early May 1902, just after his thirty-fourth birthday, John and his wife, Anna, boarded a luxury cruise ship and headed for Europe again after a few years.

Only this time, the two are not alone.

Because of the changes in the status and wealth of the Huntelaar family, John sailed to the other side of the ocean with a huge entourage, including two groups of personal maids and cooks, sixteen loyal bodyguards, and many entourages such as butlers and drivers...... (To be continued.) )
