"Thank you, it was really a great party!"

John heard this compliment more than once when he saw off many of his American "compatriots" in the afternoon, and he could see the sincerity in everyone's faces. The sumptuous food and the warm hospitality of the hosts clearly pleased the guests who had visited today, and also made the host John secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart—at last he had spent so much thought in vain.

For these classmates at the University of Berlin, John is very important.

In this era, not only politically and militarily, but also in the field of science, the world of Europeans is also the world, and the Americans are currently backward in all aspects. In fact, this was basically the case for the next half century, and it was not until after World War II that the United States received a large number of German talents and technology. Compared with the German chemists and medical scientists of this era, the American elite really did not see enough, as can be seen from the first thirty years of the Nobel Prize.

However, John did not dare to underestimate these international students.

This is the era of the rapid development of the Germans, and it is also the era of the rise of the Americans, especially the elites who have returned from Remain in Europe, who will comprehensively reform American education and science and technology in the next two or three decades, and lay the foundation for the glory that will follow. Therefore, while building good relations with the Germans, it is impossible for John to ignore these international students, after all, he will definitely go back to New York in the future......

John, who is well versed in history, knows that this is the best option.

From the beginning of enrollment to the present, John has been making friends with these international students with the maturity of his age, of course, as well as the students in Germany, fortunately, he is tall enough in his life, and his temperament is mature enough, plus the age reported at the time of admission is 18 years old, otherwise it is not easy for a 14-year-old little guy to invite others to his home.

Soon, a week passed.

It was another Saturday afternoon, and Joshua and Funk finally arrived in Berlin with a tired face. John had Hans prepare them hot water and a nutritious dinner, and after the two had taken a shower and had eaten, they had a brief chat with him, and then went upstairs to rest.

The next day, it wasn't until lunchtime that the two of them finished washing up and came to the restaurant to sit down.

"John, this time I finally realized what you said was a hard trip."

Pouring a glass of warm water in one go, Feng Ke sighed loudly: "The two of us are tired along the way, we can't eat well, we can't sleep well, and we only slept well last night!" ”

"Good thing it turned out, didn't it?"

John smiled and offered to add another glass of water to Funk.

Nodding, Restraint Ya smiled: "Yes, the negotiation of the construction of the factory in London is very smooth, if nothing else, it can be put into production in half a year, and it can produce about 1,500 bicycles per month, and by the end of next year, it can increase to 3,000!" The price is currently set at around £18, which is slightly higher than in the US. ”

"So expensive?"

After hearing this number, John couldn't help frowning, and asked with some concern. According to the ratio of the two currencies, one pound is about less than five dollars, and 18 pounds is more than eighty dollars, which is much higher than the price in the United States.

"It's okay."

Joshua waved his hand proudly and said, "This price is not proposed by us, but set by the British themselves, they have a vast colony, and there are many rich people, they can afford this price!" ”

Hearing Joshua say this, John was speechless.

Sure enough, this year's leading technology and monopoly is the only way to make money, mature bicycle technology is currently only in John's hands has a patent, it is impossible for someone to know more advanced means of transportation than this in a short period of time, so in the more than ten years before the expiration of the patent, it is conceivable that the bicycle will create an amazing profit for John!

If cars are to become popular, they still have decades to go.

"But on the German side, I'm afraid we really can't do anything in the short term."

After a short period of pride, Joshua shook his head and said with a wry smile: "We don't have the funds and technicians to build a factory in Germany, even if it is a joint venture like the United Kingdom, it is not possible, so ......"

John had already guessed this result in the telegram exchange in front of him, and after a little hesitation, he nodded and asked, "Joshua, what if we grant the patent to someone else?" ”

"That's not going to work!"

Feng Ke next to him was immediately anxious when he heard this, and waved his hand again and again: "It's just that if the patent is authorized, it won't take much of the shares, and that will harm our interests!" What's more, it will only take a year at most for us to recover, and wouldn't it be more appropriate to talk about this matter when the time comes? ”

Joshua nodded in agreement with Funk's opinion.

After eating the sweetness of bicycles, and now there is such a big killer as a tricycle, and the two don't want to give up a lot of benefits to others. A joint venture is necessary, but if no one can afford enough money and wants to take enough shares, it can only be postponed for a year. At the end of the day, Joshua and the others didn't have a myriad of good things to choose from like John, and they really wanted to make the bicycle business their life's work.

"That's ......"

John's brows furrowed, and seeing that Joshua and Funk were very resolute, he no longer reluctantly persuaded him. Although he personally does not care about this, and prefers to find a partner in Germany with the help of bicycle cooperation as soon as possible, but if he wants to offend Joshua for this, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

A year late is a year late.

Anyway, he himself had already figured out that the first year in Berlin would be honest, and he would have to celebrate his fifteenth birthday first. Although he said that he was eighteen years old in front of others, if he wanted to take out those things in his mind, he first had to understand what things were already in this era, and what instruments and equipment were in the world's most advanced real yàn room now, right?

Thinking of this, John nodded a little unwillingly and said: "Okay, but I still think that it is very necessary to build a factory in the big 6 in Europe, and it is better to do it faster, Germany is the best choice!" ”

Joshua and Funk looked at each other and smiled, the former nodded and smiled: "We also agree with this idea, so this time I came to Berlin not only to visit you, but also to hope that you can take on this task!" ”

"Oh?"

With a move in his heart, John looked at him with a puzzled look.

Joshua shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I'll be studying in Berlin for the next few years, so it shouldn't be difficult to find a local partner, right?" And it's not easy to get here from New York, anyway, you're also a major shareholder, and you're also a master of bicycles, so it shouldn't be difficult to solve this problem, right? ”

After hearing this, John was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "You don't mean that I am solely responsible for this matter, right?" ”

"Why not?"

Funk laughed, patted John on the shoulder, and said, "We have a lot of confidence in you!" When the time comes, you just need to let us know, and we will send you the required funds, and it will be solved in a hurry, right? ”

"Uh...... All right. ”

Thinking of his plan, John happily took on the task. He was thinking about how to get this right in his hands, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Joshua and the others took the initiative to propose it.

Just what he wants!

After solving the most important thing of this meeting, everyone naturally relaxed and began to enjoy the sumptuous lunch prepared by Hans. They hadn't eaten properly last night because they were too tired, and Joshua, who had been hungry for a long time, had a good appetite and had a good meal.

It wasn't until his stomach was filled that Joshua put down the knife and fork in his hand and asked with some curiosity, "John, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you, that is, why did you choose to go to medical school in the end?" Is it really because last time I told Emma that you were fit to be a doctor? Or rather...... Is it because of your governess's daughter? ”

"yes, I was about to ask that, too!"

After listening to Joshua's question, Funk's movements also stopped, and he asked with a frown: "With your talent, wouldn't it be better to study physics and mechanics in Europe for a few years, and go back to design some more advanced machines?" ”

Regarding the question of the two friends, John only hesitated slightly, and then said with a smile: "Both, the reason for this is complicated, but I hope you understand that the choice to study medicine is something that I have decided after careful consideration, and I also believe that I will definitely be able to make a great career in this field in the future......"

……

Today's last day of the holiday, or a change.

Although it's only half past ten, I haven't slept enough these days, and I want to go to bed early to recuperate. In addition, because I miscalculated my own schedule during the Spring Festival, I only barely guaranteed every day, and I couldn't be cheeky enough to say that the quality of the content or anything was good, haha. I just read the update of the third volume, and it's so wet and messy that I can't bear to read it.

After this chapter, there will be at least two more changes a day tomorrow, and the content will also get to the point.
