"Sure enough!"

The moment he saw the inviter, John's heart pounded.

Wilhelm II!

One of the most famous kings in the history of Prussia, the last emperor of the German Empire, was sitting on a large chair at this time, quietly watching Johann who had just entered the small room? Huntelaar.

"Sizzle......"

John took a soft, but deep breath.

Before coming to this banquet, he had imagined whether it would be possible to face the monarch Wilhelm II directly, but several times he denied his idea. In Johan's view, Wilhelm II sent him an invitation in a variety of ways, whether it was because of his growing industry in Germany, or because of his role in Hamburg's cholera, or even because of his position in the medical community, but it was still a bit unreliable to see himself alone.

You know, that's the German Emperor!

But what John didn't expect was that Wilhelm II not only really wanted to see him alone, but also at the beginning of the ball!

"Good evening, Your Majesty!"

Before he had time to think about anything, John quickly stepped forward and saluted respectfully.

"Good evening, Mr. Huntelaar."

There was no obvious change in his demeanor in the face of John William II, but after bowing his head slightly, he pointed to the chair next to him and chuckled: "Please sit down, it's a pleasure to meet such an excellent young man as you......"

……

“…… What did Your Majesty say to you? ”

After getting into her car, Anna couldn't hold back her excitement and curiosity anymore, and couldn't wait to ask aloud. She had wanted to ask this question since John returned, but perhaps because of the summons of Wilhelm II, from the moment John returned, people kept coming forward to know and talk. These words have not been asked. At this point, the dance party is over and I am back in the car, and the questions that have been held up all night can finally be asked.

"What did you say?"

Hearing his wife's question, John couldn't help but smile bitterly.

The meeting with Wilhelm II lasted only a few minutes, and to be honest, nothing was said, the emperor only expressed his appreciation for John's many achievements and thanked him for his role in the cholera in Hamburg. Of course, he expressed his concern for General Motors and Heinz Pharmaceuticals at the end, and then ......

Then the guard led John out!

"What did he come to see me for?"

For the whole night, John was thinking about this.

So at this time, John could only explain his wife's question with a wry smile, and then shook his head at the surprised Anna and said, "Don't think about it so much, maybe he just wants to get to know me." ”

"This ......"

Looking at Anna's appearance, it was obvious that she didn't believe it, but after shrugging her shoulders, John didn't explain much. A few minutes of time. The emperor really just chatted briefly, didn't he want to know himself, why?

That's how I explained it to Anna, and I said the same thing when I returned home and said it to my father-in-law, Zhao Lu.

In terms of the status of the Bristers, it is indeed not up to the standard of attending the royal ball, although John was willing to take them, but the old man refused the dinner. Of course, he wanted to squeeze into the real upper echelons of Berlin, but in the end he intended to rely on his own strength, not on his son-in-law. Otherwise, when John and the others return to the United States, what will they do if they stay in Berlin?

After thinking about it for a while. "John, I'm thinking......," Brister said. Maybe there are some words that His Majesty the Emperor just can't speak. ”

"Oh? What do you mean? ”

Raising his eyebrows slightly, John asked with a smile.

"Probably...... Someone will be looking for you in the future, right? ”

Shaking his head, Brister also said with some uncertainty: "After all, he is the emperor of the German Empire, and some things must be difficult to say directly." But after meeting you, it's much easier for other people to take photos. ”

"Hmm......"

Nodding thoughtfully, John seemed to understand something.

In fact, if you think about it from another angle, it means that you want to be a watch and want to set up a memorial arch. It's true that the Germans have never done such a thing, for example, the famous Krupp family. When there was no male heir ten years later, the emperor directly found a husband for the only female heir of the Krupp family, because this military-industrial complex was so important that it was impossible for outsiders to take advantage of it.

Thinking of this, John shook his head and smiled bitterly: "So, after you let out the news a few days ago, how many people are interested in pharmaceutical companies?" ”

"That's a lot, more than you can imagine!"

Shaking his head in the same way, Mr. Brister smiled wryly.

According to John's previous thoughts, Brister let out his intention to transfer part of the shares of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company, which immediately attracted a wave of visitors. However, it is also very understandable that today's Heinz pharmaceutical company is in full swing, and both sulfonamides and antitoxin serum are unique, and the only competitor Yixian salicylic acid is also because the trademark aspirin has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the manufacturing cost is too obvious, other companies simply cannot compete with John!

To put it bluntly, this is a hen that lays golden eggs!

Who wouldn't want to take a bite of this sure-fire deal? So when Brister released the news, countless people pounced like hyenas that smelled blood. Among them, there are not only the old aristocrats in Germany, but also many new tycoons, of course, the British and French, who are rich and wealthy, and the heaviest of them are in addition to BASF and Bayer, two German heavyweight chemical companies, and even heavy industry giants such as Krupp!

Now that the decision has been made to split the shares, John is naturally optimistic about this scenario.

So after only thinking about it for a moment, John took a deep breath and said, "Father-in-law, the British and French can be excluded, and it is better for us to keep the shares if we sell them to them!" In addition, in Germany, priority is given to companies other than chemical companies, which means that chemical giants such as Bayer and BASF will not be considered unless their offers are much higher than those of other companies! ”

"Huh? Why? ”

Brister was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but ask.

"Because they're potential competitors!"

John, who is well aware of Bayer's future development trajectory, smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Owning our shares will bring them a lot of benefits, which is quite a training for themselves to be competitors." ”

"Oh...... I understand. ”

As soon as John explained this, Brister nodded, but he asked again, "Then I'll talk about it this time?" John, this is not a small business, but a big business involving tens of millions of marks, don't you ......"

"Come on!"

Waving his hand, John smiled wryly, "Even if I go, what? I'm too young in business, and it's just a mess to go! As long as you keep the lowest bottom line, you can talk about the rest! And ......"

After a pause at this, John smiled and said, "Didn't you notice?" I've been resting at home since I came to Berlin, but I haven't been on the operating table for a long time......" (To be continued. )
