In his first week in Berlin, Johan's life was undoubtedly laid-back.

Due to the death of Frederick III and the accession of Wilhelm II, the entertainment in Berlin was scarce and low-key, which saved John a lot of trouble. After waking up every day, he basically stays with Anna, either going out to play, or staying at home to talk and read, and his life is relaxed and comfortable.

All the work has been put aside for the time being.

Johan wanted to take a short vacation to relax, but on the sixth day of his arrival in Berlin, the quiet days were finally broken as the news of his arrival inevitably spread. Upon news of his arrival in Berlin, another old friend, Baron Cole, immediately came to Brister Manor.

With the transfer of all the shares in the Flying Pigeon Bicycle Company, there are now only two industries left for John and Baron Cole's cooperation: Heinz Medical Devices (European part) and a stainless steel mill. Stainless steel products have now become one of the most fashionable utensils in Europe, including tableware, ornamental products, daily necessities, etc., the scale of production is also expanding, and the income is also rising. The performance of Heinz Medical Devices is not much better, although the turnover is not as good as that of stainless steel mills, but it is already good relative to investment.

Baron Cole came this time for the sake of the two companies.

After some pleasantries and half-an hour of reminiscence, Baron Cole finally got to the point, and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, are you satisfied with the profits of the steelworks?" ”

"Hehe, I'm satisfied."

Not quite understanding what Baron Cole meant, John could only smile and nod.

Of course, John was just a kind word, after all, because he had not recovered the original cost. Until now, he has not seen a penny in dividends. Although stainless steel is now more and more widely used, such as tableware and other things are very popular with those high-income people, but after all, the production cost is quite high, and it is difficult to quickly popularize it in this era of poor people. Due to the performance and characteristics, stainless steel cannot replace traditional steel in many fields, so all aspects have always been limited. In addition, the scale of investment was relatively large at the beginning, so the current income is naturally needless to mention......

John didn't care, but Mr. Brister's brow furrowed.

Compared with the pure white John in business, Brister has been rolling in it for twenty or thirty years, and it can be seen at once that Baron Cole may have come with a little caution this time.

But before Mr. Brister could remind his son-in-law, Baron Cole said with a smile: "Mr. Huntelaar, I am not very satisfied with the efficiency of the steelworks, the pace of development is too slow. So this time, I just want to discuss the company's affairs with you! ”

"A company thing?"

John was stunned. Some of them don't quite understand what the other person means.

In order to win the stainless steel patent in John's hand, Baron Cole invested a lot of money, almost free of charge to John to build a medical device company, and he only needed 20% of the shares. Again, John has fewer shares in the stainless steel factory. Because of this, the two actually formed a tacit understanding at the beginning, John didn't care about the steel mill, and Baron Cole later let go of the medical device company.

But now listen to Baron Cole. How do you have to talk to yourself about a steel mill?

"Hehe, yes."

Squinted a pair of eyes that weren't big. Baron Cole smiled: "Although the development momentum of the stainless steel mill is good, I am afraid that it will take a long time before the cost is recovered, so I plan to focus my main energy on this, so ...... I plan to transfer the shares of the medical device company, and I want to ask for your opinion this time! ”

"Transfer of shares, all?"

After hearing Cole's words. John and Brister's son-in-law opened their mouths wide at the same time.

John was surprised that Baron Cole's topic had changed so quickly, and he was talking about the steel mill just now, why did he suddenly turn to the medical device company? And also to transfer all the shares? I was a little stunned for a while. You must know that although medical device companies are not as profitable as pharmaceutical companies, they have six figures in their accounts every year, and they have recouped all their investments last year. Transfer shares now?

Brister guessed that there must be something wrong with the baron today, but he didn't expect that it would be a transfer of shares in the device company! But with a flash of inspiration in his head, Brister quickly understood. Since Baron Cole is willing to transfer a cash cow in his hand, there are nothing more than two possibilities, one is that someone else offers a price that he can't refuse, and the other is naturally because he himself needs money urgently......

"No, there's only one possibility!"

Soon Brister shook his head and vetoed the second possibility. Although Baron Cole is not a high title, his estate is quite large, and it is impossible to run out of money, so there is only one possibility left: someone offers a price that he can't refuse, and wants to buy shares in Heinz Medical Devices!

After thinking about this, Brister looked at John with some concern.

Although he didn't know who was planning to buy the two percent of the shares, Brister understood that John valued medical devices and pharmaceutical companies, so he was afraid that someone was playing against the company's idea. At present, there are only two shareholders of the pharmaceutical company, John and the Brister family, and it is impossible for others to interfere even if they want to, but in the case of medical device companies, Baron Cole's side is an uncertain factor.

Under Brister's worried gaze, John frowned and said, "Baron Cole, I remember that we had an agreement that if you want to transfer the shares, in addition to having to get my consent, I have the right of first refusal, right?" ”

"Uh...... Yes. ”

After hearing this answer, Baron Cole's face suddenly turned ugly.

At the beginning, Baron Cole did agree to John's request, because at that time he didn't pay much attention to any small manufactory, and his mind was on the patent of stainless steel. But he never imagined that this small manufacturing plant later became Heinz Medical Devices, and the rapid development speed was unbelievable, not only did it recover its investment in one go and began to make profits, but now someone has spent a lot of money to buy 20% of his shares!

If these two percent of the shares are transferred, Baron Cole will be able to make a lot of money!

It's not that he hasn't thought about continuing to hold shares and then waiting for dividends, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still plans to sell it to make money. Although the products of the medical device company are powerful, they are all gadgets after all, and the technical content is really not high, and sooner or later there will be competitors, plus the price of the person is high, no matter how you think about it, it is very cost-effective. The only thing that made it difficult for Baron Cole was the pre-emptive purchase clause......

This so-called priority, the price is only the total investment of Baron Cole at the beginning.

Twenty percent of the shares were sold for all the investment, and it seems that Baron Cole did make money, and it can even be said that he made four times as much in just three years, but when he thought of the price given by that person, Baron Cole's heart still hurt as if he had been stabbed! Even if the factory was originally intended to be used as compensation for the stainless steel patent, which he intended to give to John......

Now all he can look forward to is that John will give up buying back these two shares.

"Then I'm going to activate this clause!"

Under Baron Cole's apprehensive gaze, John said without hesitation: "If you have no opinion, you can sign the agreement today!" ”

The reason why Baron Cole was so generous at the beginning was because the whole factory didn't invest a few dollars, so John didn't care at all.

Merely......

Baron Cole calmed down his disappointment, took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Huntelaar, don't forget, we still have an agreement, that is, if you buy back these two percent of the shares, then I also have the right to buy back all your shares in the steel mill!" ”

"What?"

This time, without waiting for John to speak, Brister exclaimed from the side...... (To be continued......)
