Chapter 7: Untitled
Truth be told, John didn't understand why the Huntelaar family needed a bank.
In his previous life, he was just a small doctor, and he had no interest in the economy other than buying stocks, so he naturally did not know the importance of banks. He also doesn't know that most of the top 10 consortia in the future have a strong banking system as the core, otherwise they will have to rely on people when they need to raise a lot of money!
However, this did not affect John's trust in his grandfather, since the elder Huntelaar said that the family needed a bank, then it should be a bank......
Just buy one!
The United States may lack other things, but there is certainly no shortage of banks, and there are hundreds of banks in New York alone. Of course, big banks are definitely not playing, and they need millions of dollars to buy, but there is certainly no problem with small and medium-sized banks.
As for the rest, John really didn't understand it very well.
So after his grandson yawned a few times, old Huntelaar gave up and continued to explain the role of the bank to him. After a few heavy sighs, he waved John back to his room and went to sleep.
John didn't understand, but the old man did.
Old Huntelaar has gone from a small businessman to this point, how experienced is the mall, and can he not know the huge role of the bank? He made this suggestion partly because of decades of experience, and partly because it was to meet John's needs.
Having a grandson like John is certainly something to be proud of, especially with the endless stream of new inventions that always excite people, such as bicycles, cars, sulfonamides, aspirin, shampoos, etc., that have catapulted the Huntelaar family from a small New York businessman to a top wealthy man in a matter of years. But on the other hand, John's frequent generosity also made the old Huntelaar, who had worked hard to take care of these industries, feel a little difficult!
These inventions are undoubtedly profitable. But you still need to invest money before you can make money, and it's a lot of money!
For example, if John wants to move his car company to North America, it will cost a lot of money. Of course, if this is all there is to it, the pressure is not too great, after all, the pharmaceutical companies now bring in huge profits every year, and the transfer of shares in the company was a large amount. Added up, the Huntelaar family is still very thick.
But don't forget, this guy John has other "big ambitions"!
For example, to build a medical school, a medical school with a total investment that made the old Huntelaar jaw-dropping. In order to allow this medical school to successfully enroll students in two and a half years, he has spent more than 200,000 US dollars on land alone in the past six months, and according to John's plan, the investment in the next three years will definitely exceed 1 million, and in the long run, it will exceed 3 million!
The figure of $3 million can leave any rich American out of breath.
Such a huge financial pressure made the old Huntelaar frightened. Because the large industry meant that the capital requirements were also high, and the elder Huntelaar did not dare to guarantee that he could provide John with a large amount of money at any time. So at this time, if you have a bank, it is much more convenient to dispatch funds.
But......
"If you buy a bank, you need a lot of money!"
After sending off his heartless grandson, old Huntelaar sighed, and could only think about it again......
……
The next day, the weekend.
After a week of traveling, John didn't arrange things for himself, but was going to take Anna to a gathering among friends. After getting married, Anna will live in New York. Away from Berlin, she had to meet some new friends, preferably female friends with a good temper, of course. John wasn't very good at this, so he had to ask Joshua and Funk to figure it out, and so there was this meeting this afternoon.
In the morning, however, John was going to accompany Anna to the wedding dress.
If it had been decades earlier, maybe John wouldn't have seen the wedding dress, but unfortunately it was the wedding of Queen Victoria. Let Western women completely accept white wedding dresses as wedding dresses, and Anna is naturally no exception. Originally, she planned to order a wedding dress in Berlin, but she finally gave up on this plan after a long trip and the wedding dress had to be backlogged in a box for a long time......
"Huh? Is it a black slave? ”
Like a curious baby just entering the city. Anna kept chattering in John's ear, and from time to time she sighed at the freshness she saw, and was surprised to see a few black people walking down the street.
"Anna, there is no such thing as a black slave now."
John's face darkened, and he quickly patted Anna's little hand. He knew that the girl had no ill intentions, but just like the Americans didn't care about other countries, she never cared about this country, so she didn't know a lot about it.
This was the third time Anna had left the Huntelaar family since arriving in New York.
In order to give Anna a better experience of New York, John even chose to travel in a horse-drawn carriage. Along the way, the young girl was as cheerful as a bird released from a cage, and looked at the streets of New York with great interest. For her, who rarely leaves Berlin, everything here is so new and interesting that she is looking forward to living in the city for most of the next few decades......
After Anna finally quieted down a bit, John patted her little hand lightly and smiled, "How is it?" Does it feel good about New York? ”
"Hmmm......"
After tilting her head and thinking for a moment, Anna blinked and said, "It's okay, but compared to Berlin, it always feels a little weird here." ”
Hearing this answer, John couldn't help but be happy.
Although New York and Berlin belonged to the same metropolis of this era, their temperament was fundamentally different. For example, because of the Franco-Prussian War and the Unification War, there were often troops passing by on the streets of Berlin, and the citizens had great respect for the soldiers. In the words of a certain Russian writer, it was as if the whole city was an annex to the barracks. New York is a different concept, it is the largest immigrant city in the world, full of different ethnic groups from all over the world, like a hodgepodge, and it feels like a different style to Anna.
But from the bottom of his heart, John prefers New York now.
I don't know why, New York in this era and the imperial capital in the future always overlap in John's heart, and that kind atmosphere can't deceive people......
"Huh? Huntelaar General Hospital? ”
As the carriage walked, Anna's eyes suddenly lit up and she screamed again!
"Huh?"
John's heart moved, and he quickly turned his head to look in the direction Anna was looking, and saw a line of big letters on the top of the building from a distance, isn't it his own hospital?
Anna's expression became very excited, and she shook John's arm and said urgently, "John, there, that's your hospital, right?" ”
"yes, that's my hospital!"
Taking a deep breath, John nodded vigorously.
"Can I go in and have a look?"
Anna withdrew her gaze from the distant building and looked at John expectantly, "I remember that you promised me a long time ago that you would take me to see where you worked, but you never fulfilled it...... I'd like to go to your hospital, is that okay? ”
"Uh......"
Anna's words made John a little embarrassed, and he quickly nodded and smiled: "Of course, when I go to the hospital the day after tomorrow, you can just follow me......"
