Chapter 44 Visitors

The news that the richest man in the United States had come to Shanghai quickly faded. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Not giving interviews, not attending banquets, and not even receiving any unknown visitors, no matter how rich and famous such a big man is, he will not be able to arouse people's interest. So after a few days of hilarity, about John? The news of Huntelaar slowly disappeared from the newspapers. Only some unwilling people will occasionally think of the so-called richest man in the United States.

In fact, the so-called richest man in the United States is a newspaper hyped gimmick.

No one really knows John? How much is Huntelaar's net worth? Moreover, in the eyes of Americans, Rockefeller, whose large number of companies have been listed, is the real richest man in the United States, after all, one billion dollars is a huge number in this era, and the gross domestic product of the United States is only tens of billions.

Only John knows that his net worth is not much less than that of Rockefeller!

If nothing else, how much is a Huntelaar car company worth? Over the next 10 years, John is confident that he will sell at least a million cars a year, which will bring him a steady stream of enormous wealth. As for the other companies, they are also investing in real sunrise industries, which is the promising future......

Two weeks after arriving in Shanghai, John began to relax.

The people who should have been met have already been met, the things that should be talked about have been discussed, and all that remains is to wait for the people under him to do things. For example, Wu Liande organized the Chinese Medical Association, for example, to prepare pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies, for example, Yan Fuqing contacted doctors from all walks of life and began to prepare for future plans, etc. John would certainly not directly intervene in these matters, especially the preparation for the establishment of the Chinese Medical Association, and he intended to stay out of it - as a "foreigner", this is the best attitude and practice......

So in the rest of the day, John plans to focus on helping other students.

This year, hundreds of international students returned to China, a small half of them chose to work in Huntelaar Bank and foreign banks, and in the future, pharmaceutical factories and medical device factories will also provide many positions, and a small half of them went to universities to teach, after all, China's education in this era is the time of great development; Among the rest, half went to the government or other large companies, such as the Beiyang government and Han Yeping Company, and the other half chose to start their own businesses.

The dozens of factories invested by Huntelaar Bank were the foundation of their start-up.

However, in China in this era, there are certainly difficulties in starting an industry. Although John provided the technology for free and the machinery and equipment at a low price, the funds provided by the Huntelaar Bank were limited and could not allow them to develop quickly. You must know that these factories have the support of technology, the competitiveness of the products in the country is very strong, almost every one is now facing a great opportunity for expansion, but the factors of capital and machinery are restricting their development.

For these factories, John must be strongly supportive!

So over the next week, John invested tens of millions of dollars in a single go, which was used to purchase a large number of equipment from the Huntelaar Machinery Company to help them expand the scale of the factory. And when John found it difficult to ship from the United States, plans to build a machine shop in China began to be put on the agenda......

……

Before you know it, it's already late January.

As John's scheduled return to North America drew closer, his mood began to get a little agitated. Of course, he can't stay in Shanghai forever, in fact, if you add the previous time in Europe, he will leave North America for half a year! Of course, there was no need to worry if the old Huntelaar was still around, but now......

"The people who sent it out haven't come back yet?"

Early this morning, John asked with a frown at the dining table.

A month ago, John asked Yung Hong to write a lot of letters, and then sent people to many powerful people in the future of China, in order to support the opening of schools in their territory. In John's plan, he wanted to build at least one medical school in those places, and if possible, schools and even universities. John believes that the big names he has selected should agree to this request, such as the famous Yan Xishan, who will definitely see the benefits.

But until now, no one has returned.

"Not yet, sir."

Putting a bowl of white porridge in front of John, Su Li shook his head and said softly: "Judging from the telegram received, the fastest one will not be able to return to Shanghai in three days...... Sir, even if there is a letter from Mr. Yung Hong, it is not very easy for them to meet those big people, not to mention the current turbulence in the country, which is still unstable in many places......"

John had been keeping Su Li on this matter, so he knew the reason very well.

"Hmm...... Also. ”

After a moment of silence, John nodded with a wry smile.

Now John has to admit that he did take it for granted. Although big names such as Yan Xishan and Cai Yi should support modern education, someone who is willing to go to them to set up a school will definitely agree. But John overlooked the fact that there was a political environment in which the Xinhai Revolution had just been successful for a year, and the country was in chaos, how many people would be willing to think about such a thing now?

But......

"Time is running out!"

Thinking of this, John sighed softly, and his appetite for breakfast suddenly disappeared.

If it was just to set up some schools and improve the level of medicine in China, of course John could have waited a few more years, and the impact would not be great after all. But if he wants to leverage the influence of these medical schools to influence the future of medical education and the trajectory of China's medical system, he must seize the perfect moment now!

If you wait a few more years, there will be more competitors!

If you do the math carefully, if it weren't for John's appearance, Tongji in Shanghai would have been merged in 1912, Xiangya in Changsha would have been founded in 1914, West China Medical College in Chengdu would have been opened in 1914, and Xiehe in Beijing would have been acquired by Rockefeller a few years later, ushering in the glory of the next few decades. After the success of the Xinhai Revolution, China's medical education ushered in the real beginning, and in a few years, the German-Japanese and Anglo-American departments will begin to oppose each other......

"Even without their support, the school must do it!"

After a moment of silence, John gritted his teeth and made up his mind. It's just a lack of help, and John doesn't expect them to give money anyway, everything is on his own. In any case, the next decade is the best time to lay the groundwork for Chinese medicine, and John can't afford to slow down......

"Sir!"

Just when John suddenly frowned, and suddenly a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the butler suddenly hurriedly walked over: "I just received a letter of worship, and a gentleman ......."

"Huh? Why not just say no? ”

John, who was interrupted from his train of thought, was a little unhappy, and asked with a frown and displeasure.

"Uh......"

After hesitating for a moment, the butler Mr. Little Elber smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "Sir, the other party's identity is special and very important, I personally think that it is better for you to meet a good ......" (to be continued.) )
