Thirty percent of the shares are the bottom line in John's heart.

Whether it is General Motors or Heinz Pharmaceuticals, he will get at least 30% of the shares. According to the agreement between the two parties, Heinz Motors of the United States will automatically enjoy the right to use the patent for at least 20 years, and it will be easy to be sniped once the shares are too small. As for the latter, Heinz Pharmaceutical's revenue was too frightening, and John knew that the Germans couldn't let themselves make money like this, so they had to share the huge profits with them, but they had to leave enough room for themselves.

In the final analysis, it's still the same thing, no one will pay attention to it when it's weak, but when it's strong, it's natural that countless people covet it.

If it were in the United States, it would be easy to keep these gold-like industries with the power of the Huntelaar consortium, but this is Europe, whether it is Britain, France, or Germany, which is far more powerful than the United States, and if you don't know how to make concessions, you will die an ugly death. So a few years ago, John forcibly implemented the separation of the institute and the pharmaceutical company in preparation for this day.

This was the result of many discussions between John and Old Huntelaar before coming to Europe.

It is impossible for the German government to allow an American company to grow to such a point, and the turnover of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company alone is almost greater than that of other pharmaceutical companies in Germany combined! It's just that because this company is so famous, it has never been done, but in the past two years, various temptations have gradually increased, and old Huntelaar and John also know it, so this time they will directly pick out with Mr. Brister.

However, after a short period of truth, the father-in-law's eyes flickered rapidly, and after hesitating for a while, he gritted his teeth and asked, "John, in that case...... Can I increase some shares in the company? It doesn't take too much, just 10 percent. Instead of transferring it to someone else, give me some. “

"This ......"

Opening his mouth, John didn't know how to reply to his father-in-law for a while. Brister already had 10 percent of the shares in Heinz Pharmaceuticals, and after adding 10 percent, it was exactly half of the shares left by John, which was of course of great benefit for controlling the company in the future. And as pure Germans, the Bristlers certainly have this qualification. And I believe that the Germans will also be more assured, but ......

After hesitating for a moment, John shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Father-in-law, of course it's no problem for you to take over a part of the shares, but I'm afraid that the price of Yicheng shares will cost millions of marks, do you ...... Do you have plenty of money right now? ”

His own brother still has to settle accounts, and John has no reason to give away his father-in-law such a huge asset in vain. John, who knows his father-in-law's family very well, doesn't think that the other party can come up with so much money at once!

Sure enough, after listening to the numbers that came out of John's mouth. Brister fell silent for a moment. Millions of marks, if he gritted his teeth, he really couldn't get it, but it took a long time to take out a loan or sell assets to raise money, which means that he had to give up a lot of things, like that...... Is it worth it?

Don't look at Berlin's Heinz pharmaceutical company is making money, and last year's net profit exceeded 10 million marks for the first time, but Brister knows very well that this is already the company's ceiling. If no new drugs are put on sale in the future, I am afraid that at most it will remain in this state. It is even possible to lower it a little. Originally, Heinz Pharmaceutical Company was a standout, but now that John has established a pharmaceutical factory in North America, joint venture factories with Britain and France, and other competitors are stepping up their research, it is difficult to guarantee what the future will be.

Otherwise, Yicheng shares will be at least more than 10 million marks!

But on the other hand. Several companies use the same technology, the same cost, even if they lose the Americas, Britain and France and their colonies in the future, but there are big markets such as Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy. Profits of millions of marks per year are still guaranteed.

"Perhaps, it's the right time for the Huntelaar family to make a move now!"

When he thought of this, Brister's heart suddenly startled, and his burning eyes quickly looked at John.

This year is similar to last year, and the influence of Berlin Heinz Pharmaceutical Company is still at its peak, after all, they are the pioneers, and the channels of the British and French companies have not been completely opened. Therefore, if John and they sell their shares, it should be the highest time, once the British and French companies notify the domestic and colonial markets, and the American pharmaceutical company Heinz occupies the Americas, then the decline in Berlin's various data is inevitable......

……

After sending off his father-in-law, John had been in deep thought.

Today, the Huntelaar family's industry in Europe is in fact highly concentrated, with the exception of daily necessities companies, in the automotive and pharmaceutical areas. Needless to say, the nature of the product determines that as long as the Huntelaar family has enough strength, it will always be able to keep it, but pharmaceutical and automobile companies are different. The former's products are extremely important in this era, so John will set up factories in each of the three major European powers, and at the same time divide the profits of the shares to reduce resistance; The influence of the latter may be better than that of pharmaceutical companies, but it is not enough to rise to the future level in a short period of time due to various reasons such as technology, cost, and road conditions.

However, the necessary preparations have to begin.

With John's reminder and huge R&D investment, whether it is General Motors or Heinz in North America, the development speed will inevitably accelerate greatly in the next few years, so it is conceivable that the automobile industry, which will only begin to break out after 20 years in history, can be at least ten years in advance!

In other words, John predicted that around 1900 the automobile industry would begin to explode in earnest!

The technologies that have been developed and perfected ahead of time, combined with the sharp drop in steel prices and the spread of electricity and power equipment, will certainly make the price of a car even lower. Of course, the most important thing is that the rapid growth of the number of the middle class will make the car out of the circle of the rich and aristocratic and become the car of ordinary people! And with the improvement of traffic conditions in various countries, a large number of high-quality highways have been built, the importance of automobiles will undoubtedly increase greatly, especially in the use of the army, in addition to the carrying capacity of the car itself, the increasing caliber of cannons, the study of tanks and the use of various heavy equipment, automotive technology will be more and more valued......

"So before 1900, a part of the shares of General Motors had to be sold!"

After taking a deep breath, John made up his mind.

It wasn't John's plan to develop automotive technology more than a decade in advance, but his investment changed the course of history, so he had to make a change. As an "American," he had no choice but to reduce his stake in GM to reassure the German government and avoid the damage caused by the war two decades later.

Thinking of this, John couldn't help but smile bitterly.

At that time, he thought about everything too simply, he wanted to hug the thighs of Americans and have a future, and he wanted to make money from Europeans and grasp the present. Of course, when the scale of various industries is still small, but when the profits of the Berlin Heinz pharmaceutical company can buy half a monarch-class battleship for a year, everything is different.

On this trip to Europe, John intends to smooth out all these relationships.

In the next few years, the most important thing is to attract the elite of General Motors and Berlin Heinz Pharmaceuticals and, of course, medical device companies, to New York. Tempt them with the best working environment and the best treatment, and send a large number of excellent talents to Germany to study. With a two-pronged approach, only by moving the R&D center to New York as soon as possible can John and the others be completely settled.

The ideal situation is undoubtedly that only production remains on the European side.

It's just that John also knows that this is difficult, because there are very few top talents in the United States now, but he must also insist on doing it, if it doesn't work in five years, it will be ten years, and if it doesn't work in ten years, it will be twenty years, and one day it can be done......
