"Why did Mr. Morgan buy a stake in the bike factory?"

Ever since he learned where his shares were, John didn't stop thinking about this in his head. Admittedly, Morgan in 1885 was not the strongman of later generations, and the bicycle factory was indeed a hen that laid golden eggs, but John still had some trouble figuring it out.

He was only very familiar with the name Morgan, but he didn't know much about it.

In fact, among the three American giants at the end of the 19th century, John knew more about Rockefeller, and that was also because of Union Hospital. As for Carnegie, he only knew that he was the steel king, and Morgan only knew that he was the emperor of Wall Street, and later bought Carnegie's steel company......

"What do you think?"

Seeing that his grandson had been stunned since hearing Morgan's full name, old Huntelaar couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Oh, it's fine."

After waking up from his musings, John shook his eyebrows and smiled.

Whatever he wanted, whether Mr. Morgan wanted to buy the shares of the Flying Pigeon Company, or whether he wanted to take complete control of it in the future, it had nothing to do with John. He's already given Joshua absolute control, so why bother with so much care?

But......

"It's so rich!"

Thinking that the other party could raise $1.9 million to acquire it so quickly, John couldn't help but sigh secretly. Although he hasn't put much effort into making money in the past few years, the identity of the traverser is no joke, and in this way, he only has a family fortune of more than two million dollars......

"Take me to the dye factory and manufactory you just bought today."

After wiping his mouth, old Huntelaar suddenly spoke coldly.

"Today?"

John was stunned when he heard this, and said with concern: "Grandpa, I think you should rest for another day today, let's go see it tomorrow." It's not close to home......"

"It's okay, I'm almost rested."

Before John could finish speaking, old Huntelaar interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

After two nights of rest at home, old Huntelaar felt that he had recovered seven or eight minutes, and naturally did not want to be so idle every day. For the two factories that John was ready to invest heavily in, his curiosity had reached its peak at this time!

Although I was against it at the beginning. But old Huntelaar knows that his grandson rarely makes money-losing business, needless to say, the bicycle factory is definitely a rare high-return business in recent years, Lego toys are also thriving, the Swiss Army knife is also very popular, the only thing that doesn't make money is the razor, but that thing was originally made as a birthday gift at random. Even John's current investment in Tesla, old Huntelaar also feels that there is a lot to be done, after all, he still has two big killers in his hands, batteries and tungsten light bulbs, which have not been exposed......

After a moment's hesitation. John still shook his head and persuaded: "Grandpa, you have come from New York to Berlin, and it is not bad for this day, I will arrange things over there in advance, and we will go over early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

John's attitude was very firm, and old Huntelaar could only nod and agree. He knew that his grandson was worried about his health, and it was not easy to refuse his kindness. But as soon as the thought turned in his mind, old Huntelaar suddenly found another topic. He asked with a smile: "John, I heard that you have a good relationship with that young lady of the Brister family." Is it? ”

"Uh...... How do you know? ”

Grandpa suddenly asks about Anna, which makes John stunned and a little caught off guard.

"Of course Hans sued me."

Without hesitation, old Huntelaar sold his loyal butler, and said with a smile: "Mr. Brister is also your partner, I think it's better to visit his house this weekend, what do you think?" ”

"Okay. Of course. ”

At this time, what else could John say, he could only smile wryly and nodded, and reluctantly agreed......

……

The arrival of old Huntelaar completely disrupted the rhythm of John's life.

With the old man there, he doesn't want to go out even if he doesn't work. And John also hoped that old Huntelaar could have a good rest, so he simply accompanied his grandfather at home to talk and play chess all day.

The next morning, the two arrived at the dye factory in a horse-drawn carriage.

"Good location."

As soon as he got out of the carriage, old Huntelaar expressed his first feelings. The location of the dye factory is located in the south of Berlin, which is quite convenient, and after looking at the size of the whole factory, the elder Huntelaar nodded: the existing territory leaves enough room for future expansion.

"But I still don't get it."

When the two of them walked to the open space demarcated by John, old Huntelaar frowned and asked, "The total assets of this factory are only 300,000 marks, and you want to invest more than a million to build a building?" Wouldn't it be a waste to use it as a factory? ”

The most valuable thing about this dye factory should be this piece of land, and a few simple factories are not visible in the eyes of old Huntelaar at all, and they are even less valuable than those few patents. But in old Huntelaar's opinion, this was enough, so he couldn't understand why John had built such a building!

"It's not for a factory!"

With a wry smile, John explained helplessly: "What I want to build is a scientific research building, mainly for researching new patents...... Grandpa, you should first understand the current situation of the chemical industry in Germany, and large-scale investment in research and development is an inevitable trend! ”

It is precisely because John has seen this that he will invest such a huge amount of money to build a building, and he will continue to invest more to attract talent to join and add scientific research equipment - the microscope alone is expected to cost at least 10,000 marks!

"As for whether it works?"

John smiled and explained confidently: "Grandpa, after we have visited the factory, I will naturally show you the reason why I invested so much money......

"Mr. Huntelaar, welcome back here."

Just as old Huntelaar was frowning and pondering, Mr. Gluck, the director of the dye factory and the architect who had been waiting here for a long time, immediately greeted him.

After introducing the two sides. Gluck's eyes were immediately fixed on old Huntelaar. In his opinion, although it was John who announced the construction plan, in the final analysis, it was just a milky little guy, and someone must be in charge of it, and the old man in front of him was undoubtedly the real owner.

"Mr. Gluck, is the design ready?"

After everyone sat down in an office. John asked eagerly.

"It's done."

Glancing at old Huntelaar, Gluck hurriedly took out a stack of drawings from his bag and handed them to John: "Mr. Huntelaar, this is the building we have designed!" ”

After taking it, John spread the drawings in front of himself and his grandfather.

The entire building is an I-shaped structure with a total of five floors, and a basement is designed underneath. Considering John's requirements, except for some special structures in the floors, the appearance of the whole building is very ordinary, which is a common style in this era. There's really nothing eye-catching.

In John's opinion, it is good to be practical, and there is no need to look good or anything.

So after a brief glance, John nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I'll go back and ask other architects to do an evaluation, if it's okay." ”

"That's it?"

Gluck's mind froze, and he suddenly became a little overwhelmed.

This Mr. Huntelaar only watched for a minute at most, and made such a hasty decision? What about the promised changes? What about good opinions?

Just when Mr. Architect was at a loss. John had already put away the drawings and asked calmly, "Mr. Gluck." Have you estimated the cost of building this building? ”

"It's estimated."

Nodding subconsciously, Gluck hurriedly replied: "But after the design, we found a problem, even if we use a reinforced concrete structure and use all the best materials, the cost of this building will not exceed 800,000 marks, so the budget you gave is indeed too much exceeded......"

"Only 800,000 marks?"

After listening to Gluck's words. John was stunned.

But it was only a matter of seconds before our little Mr. Huntelaar suddenly realized. He designed the building according to the real yàn room invested by Bayer two years later as a reference, but the huge amount of 1.5 million marks is the investment of the entire real yàn room, in addition to the site, there are real yàn equipment, etc., John is bent on surpassing Bayer's real yàn room. Casually giving such a huge number is a bit ill-considered.

But after thinking about it for a while, John waved his hand and said casually: "In that case, then add a layer!" The top layer is free for me, and I want to use it myself! ”

"Huh?"

After hearing this explanation, Gluck was dumbfounded!

In recent years, construction technology has come a long way, and Americans have already started to build the world's first skyscraper, and it is not difficult to add a floor. Gluck was surprised by John's casual attitude, and 200,000 marks were thrown out so casually, just like everyone was talking about 20 marks!

Subconsciously, Mr. Architect's gaze looked in the direction of old Huntelaar.

Although he was also surprised and puzzled in his heart, but at this time, old Huntelaar would not do anything against his grandson, shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "Don't look at me, everything about this factory is up to him, John said that if you add a layer, you will add a layer!" ”

Old Huntelaar was not in a hurry, he waited for his grandson's explanation.

"Sizzle......"

After listening to old Huntelaar's words, Gluck and the director of the factory gasped at the same time.

"Okay."

Looking at the calm expression on the face of the old Mr. Huntelaar, Gluck couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "I really don't understand the affairs of rich people......" (To be continued......)
