After the hustle and bustle, old Huntelaar and John sat opposite each other in the living room, looking at each other in silence.

John waited quietly for his grandfather to speak, while old Huntelaar looked at John with a look of relief, appreciation, sadness, and loneliness in his eyes, as if he were an actor in an opera.

"Congratulations, John, for getting your first fortune."

After a long time, the elder Huntelaar said in a deep voice, "I was 24 years old when I did this, and I was nowhere near as successful as you. “

"Thank you, sir."

Bowing slightly, John replied with a smile.

John's mood was of course very happy, because just ten minutes earlier, he and the elder Huntelaar had signed the contract for the assignment of the patent, and in three days at most, thirty-two thousand dollars would be deposited into the New York bank account that the elder Huntelaar had opened for him. In other words, he will soon become a monopoly with more than 30,000 cash.

"Aside from that Carl Witt decades ago, you're the best kid I've ever met."

Sighing softly, old Huntelaar's face showed a hint of sadness, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Smart, stubborn, talented, like, just like Elizabeth back then......"

"Mother?"

Hearing the name Elizabeth, John's heart moved, and his gaze at old Huntelaar gradually softened. Although he didn't know much about her past, John knew that his mother in this life was as old Huntelaar just said, smart and stubborn, independent and difficult to support himself, and at the same time, he also taught him a lot.

Suddenly, John once again touched the sorrow beneath the indifferent exterior of old Huntelaar.

"Grandpa......"

Again, John used this affectionate salutation, and his expression became complicated.

Only this time old Huntelaar was not touched by this title, he waved his hand without even waiting for John to continue, and stood up a little sluggishly: "John, I said that this money is earned by yourself, and it is naturally up to you to decide how to use it." I have already found someone to make a sample of the bicycle drawing, which is absolutely reliable, and it will take a week at most to send it to you. As for the thing you said to Joshua...... Just do it, and come to me when you need me. ”

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Suddenly, the title became natural, and John didn't have the slightest awkwardness.

Old Huntelaar paused, then turned his head after a moment and said with a smile: "John, although this is New York, the best workers are still Germans!" Keeping this in mind will help you a lot in your career. ”

After saying that, old Huntelaar did not hesitate any longer, turned around and went upstairs.

Watching his grandfather staggering up the stairs, John was silent for a long time, and then the corners of his mouth suddenly bloomed with an unpredictable smile......

……

Early Monday morning, just as Mr. Auve had just finished his lecture and John was about to go to the dining room for dinner, Joshua, with an excited face, walked through the door of Huntelaar's house.

After seeing his expression, he didn't need to ask John to know that Edison's $40,000 had arrived.

Walking quickly into the restaurant, Joshua handed John a small envelope for the first time, and urged urgently: "John, open it quickly!" ”

"Hehe......"

Seeing his friend's appearance, John couldn't help but laugh. He opened the envelope without hesitation, and then saw an ancient deposit certificate.

$32ooo!

Joshua directly deducted his 8,000 US dollars and deposited the remaining 32,000 US dollars into John's account, even with John's mentality, he couldn't help but be stunned after seeing this string of numbers, and his heart beat a lot in an instant!

"Your money!"

After handing over the deposit certificate to John, Joshua breathed a long sigh of relief, and the excitement and nervousness just now quickly dissipated, and it seemed that the whole person was much more relaxed.

"yes, my money."

Muttering something in a low voice, John laughed happily.

He came up and tapped John on the shoulder a few times, and Joshua looked understanding, and then said, "John, the blueprint of that bicycle ......"

"I've got people start making samples."

Picking up the coffee on the table and taking a sip, John said, "It will be delivered by the end of this week at the latest, and then we can register the patent and then prepare for the construction of the factory...... Hmm, maybe it would be nice to buy a factory outright, right? ”

"You're so confident?"

Raising an eyebrow, Joshua asked with a smile.

After putting down the teacup and glancing at his friend, John smiled, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Joshua, I think you can now consider whether we need to invite others to join us in the future, as well as the total amount of investment and the distribution of shares." ”

The voice was not loud, but the confidence on John's face quickly infected Joshua.

"Hmm."

Touching his chin, Joshua lowered his head and groaned. If it weren't for the lights and batteries in front of him, Joshua certainly wouldn't have believed the little guy so lightly, but with the $40,000, he was convinced of John's words.

"You think the two of us ...... Can it be done? ”

After pondering for a moment, Joshua suddenly looked up and asked.

"Difficult!"

John shook his head without hesitation, and said calmly: "Let's say it first, I'm only responsible for the money and patents, and I will definitely not care about the follow-up, but what about you?" Do you have the ability to control the whole picture? You know, in addition to building factories and production, we also need to sell to the outside world, can you do all these things? ”

The words were very polite, and John had no intention of saving face for his friends. Joshua studied law in college, and it may be nice to be a boss, but if he manages a factory and sells products, he doesn't have a score.

Sure enough, John's words got Joshua pondering again.

At this moment, John stood up and motioned for Mr. Hans, the butler, to begin his lunch, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Elber, Miss Philip has not yet arrived?" ”

Miss Philip worked Monday to Friday afternoons, so she usually came in on Monday mornings and left on Friday afternoons, but there was no one to see until lunchtime, and John felt a little strange in his mind.

"She's just arrived, sir."

Hans shook his head and said, "I saw her hurrying upstairs just now, as if she was in a hurry. ”

When John frowned, Joshua had already thought about it, he tapped his finger on the table, and said solemnly: "John, I think the factory can invite Funk to join, he is now helping his father manage a textile factory, he should have enough experience!" As for sales, I think Mr. Huntelaar should have thought about it a long time ago, right? ”

The Huntelaar family was a merchant family, and Joshua didn't trust the elder Huntelaar to ask John to find someone else.

After thinking about it for a moment, John nodded and said, "There is no problem with sales, and I think Mr. Stone will be very interested." However, is it feasible for Laphonk to come in on this side of the factory? After all, he's now helping to manage his family's business. ”

"Absolutely!"

Joshua said confidently: "Funk himself is not very interested in the textile industry, and the competition in this industry is too fierce, as he told me when I was studying in London. In addition, his father was not very old and far from retirement, so if he were to be put in charge of the bicycle factory, he would definitely agree.

"Let's talk to him."

John didn't hesitate and agreed directly to Joshua's suggestion.

After saying this, there was a sudden silence between the two. Because they know that now that they have decided to do it, the next issue is a very important and critical issue: the distribution of equity! Although the two are friends and have a very close relationship, after all, they have only known each other for two or three months, and in business, everyone is from a merchant family, which is still very clear.

"Equity is distributed by their own capital investment."

After a while, John said in a deep voice: "In addition, the patent is 1o%!" ”

"Oh? Are you sure? ”

After hearing this, Joshua's eyes lit up and he asked rhetorically. 1o% is not too much, but less, in Joshua's opinion, the total investment in this factory will not be about 60,000 US dollars at most, the two can come up with 50,000 yuan, and Funk is only 10,000 at most, but if the sample of the bicycle is indeed as good as John said, even 10,000 US dollars is underestimated.

Waving his hand, John smiled and said, "That's it, after all, I won't participate in any management in the future, it's all up to you and Funk, I think it's quite cost-effective." ”

"Good! That's it. ”

Joshua thought for a moment and nodded.

After glancing at each other again, the two of them laughed almost at the same time, and John turned his head happily and exclaimed, "Mr. Elber, can you get us a bottle of wine?" Today is a happy day and should be well treated! ”

"I'm sorry, sir."

The butler walked quickly to the table and said with a very stern expression: "Mr. Huntelaar has specially instructed me that you will never be allowed to drink until you are sixteen years old......
