In March of 1881, a new president of the United States took office.

James Abram Garfield, the President Ma who won a hard-fought victory at the end of last year, was sworn in in March and had the elder Huntlaar and others talk about it. But John didn't care about it at all, although he was very unfamiliar with the name and had little to remember, but most people had probably heard of the tragedy of the twenty-year reincarnation of the president of the United States.

President of the United States elected in 188o......

John had already pronounced the death sentence on the poor fellow, and all that remained was when he heard the news that caused a national sensation.

John didn't have much interest in the affairs of the government, at least not yet, but he couldn't help but pay attention to the affairs of his own factory. Because as time went by, when the new bikes began to spread around, the sales of the flying pigeon bicycle quickly expanded, and in February, it set a miracle figure of 1,000 units sold per month!

And after many newspapers reported it, merchants from all over the country flocked to it, including those with a keen sense of smell from all over Europe, which made Joshua extremely excited. At this time, the United States was not the same level of power in later generations, and the influence of Britain, France and Germany was above it, especially Britain was the world hegemon, if it could sell bicycles to Britain and all its colonies......

Without much thought, the expansion of the plant was immediately put on the agenda by the shareholders.

However, John was not interested in this matter, on the one hand, he had no money, and on the other hand, after knowing the family background of old Huntelaar, he did not think that the old man would let others take advantage of him. At the beginning of the joint venture, an agreement had already been signed, and even if the shares were expanded in the future, it would be proportional, as long as there was money.

Living a leisurely life in a down-to-earth manner, John usually thinks about what is suitable for the current way to make money, and only waits for the bicycle factory to return the funds and make plans after there are dividends.

Time flashed, and it was April 17 again.

Mr. John Huntelaar's thirteenth birthday naturally attracted the attention of many people. However, this year, not only Joshua and Funk's good friends of the same generation are planning to come to congratulate, but even the older generation such as the Stones and Monters are also preparing to come, and the momentum is not much more than that of old Huntelaar's birthday.

After all, he is the majority shareholder of the bicycle factory and the only heir of the old Huntelaar, and his identity is different......

"Hi, happy birthday!"

The first to arrive were Joshua and Emma, and the two ran over early in the morning, especially Emma shouted excitedly: "John, I must sing today's birthday song, hehe, let you see the real professional level!" ”

"Uh...... Oh, good. ”

After a slight pause, John smiled and nodded.

In just over half a year, John's "composed" birthday song has swept the whole New York City, and as the flow of people began to spread to the whole world, it gradually reproduced the terrifying influence of the previous life. Emma is one of the most loyal fans of this song, and she alone has reached at least hundreds of people.

"Come, sit down and have some snacks."

When John saw that it was still early, he beckoned his two friends to sit down and talk for a while.

But just as the maid Lina brought a plate of snacks and was about to serve tea, Hans, the butler, hurriedly came over and whispered, "Sir, there is a letter from you!" ”

"Oh?"

Surprised, John reached out and took the envelope.

"Huh?!"

The moment he saw the words on the envelope, John's heart moved, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

"What's wrong?"

The little girl Emma kept paying attention to John, and quickly asked curiously.

Ignoring Emma's question, John immediately stood up and asked Hans urgently, as if something had suddenly occurred to him, "Where is the messenger?" ”

"Just outside the door."

Mr. Housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly pointed to the gate and said.

Under the surprised gaze of the others, John immediately ran out quickly, and after a while he returned to the house, and then smiled apologetically at Joshua and the two, "Excuse me, you guys have some snacks first, and I'll come down later." ”

With that, John went upstairs.

Once in his study, John opened the envelope and saw two crumpled sheets of paper and ten dollars. Let's look at the payment of the letter first, and sure enough, it is my former tutor, Miss Philip!

"What a stubborn and proud lady."

Looking back at the ten dollars, John couldn't help but smile.

But after a brief smile, he sighed heavily. The proud lady only paid back ten dollars, so it was self-evident what it meant.

The slight scribbling on the letter told simple facts, Miss Philip wished John a happy birthday, then apologized for not saying goodbye last year, and then about the hundred dollars borrowed, and the poor lady said that the rest would be repaid as much as possible.

"Still, I still haven't said what happened to her!"

After reading the letter, John frowned, and felt a little dissatisfied with Miss Philip's pride. In fact, as a former student, or more accurately, a friend, John didn't care too much about the governess's personal affairs, but just wanted to help. But Miss Philip clinged to the so-called aristocratic pride, and was unwilling to ask for too much help, which he could not understand.

Is there any pride, is it more important than the health of the child?

John couldn't understand Miss Philip's thoughts, but that didn't stop him from trying to help. In fact, after so much time, John had almost put the matter down, and if Miss Philip had stopped contacting him, he would have forgotten about it, but today the letter had succeeded in bringing back his memories, and it was natural that he would have to go and see him.

Thanks to the backward communication methods of this era, it is possible for John to get the other party's current location from the messenger, and it is not difficult to find the door. And this time Miss Philip is not a good place, but at least there is no problem with safety.

After pondering for a while, John locked the letter and money in his drawer, rearranged his clothes, and went downstairs. It's his birthday, and with so many friends coming to celebrate him, it's rude to stay upstairs alone.

Sure enough, after John went downstairs, Funk and a few other young friends had already arrived, and the living room immediately became lively when they saw John coming downstairs.

It's hilarious, John's birthday has passed.

Emma's song "Happy Birthday to You" in front of everyone caused a full house, and everyone's birthday gifts also opened John's eyes, especially a gramophone given by the Stones aroused his great interest. John even remembered "Happy Birthday to You" from this, but unfortunately this song is so simple that any person can definitely sing it as long as he listens to it once, so it is worthless to publish or something. However, John thought of some children's songs in later generations, and considered whether to wait for the time to make a record and become addicted to being a producer......

……

On the first weekend after John's birthday, he went out in Joshua's carriage.

"Are you sure you're going to see her?"

After learning where John was going and what he was going for, Joshua's brows furrowed tightly and he asked seriously.

"Hmm."

Nodding nonchalantly, John looked at the world outside the car, and then turned his head and smiled: "I just want to know what happened, and then see if I can help her a little...... Well, you can also interpret it as my curiosity, I can't sleep if I don't figure out what happened! ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

When John said this, Joshua understood a little.

The two chatted about the bicycle along the way, and time passed quickly. When the carriage reached a small alley and Qian stopped, Joshua immediately covered his ears and nose with a handkerchief. The environment here is not much worse than that of the slums, and there is a bad smell everywhere.

"I'll be waiting for you here, give you half an hour!"

Before John could speak, Joshua could not object, saying, "And Fett must follow you, he may wait at the door then, but he must follow!" ”

"Okay."

John thought for a moment and led the coachman down the alley.

Careful to avoid the stagnant water on the ground, John frowned and kept walking inside, until he met a little guy with two long noses in tow, and exchanged a coin for the news he wanted to know.

Finally, John stood in front of a door, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his hand and knocked lightly: "Excuse me, is Miss Philip here?" ”

……

The result of speeding up the progress is that the plot is a bit far-fetched, and the writing is so unpleasant
