On July 1, 1904, the third Olympic Games opened. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For the first and only time in the history of the Olympic Games, no one from the President of the United States nor the President of the Olympic Committee participated. And as an accessory to the World Expo, the influence of the Olympics itself is too weak, and even John the Traveler is not very interested in this, and pays more attention to the new products of his company's participation in the World Expo.

A beautifully shaped, striking watch......

Tractor with low failure rate and high efficiency......

The latest radio ......

Prototypes of the latest cars, trucks and trolleybuses......

Newly invented 606 and other drugs......

Shadowless lamp for all-round operating room without dead ends......

Smaller, more powerful X-ray and ECG machines......

Strong, durable plastic ......

The world's first animated feature film to be more than forty minutes long......

The world's strongest, safest new elevator ......

The latest Browning 1904 rifles, pistols and heavy machine guns......

rapid-fire artillery using hydraulic propulsion, lighter mortars......

……

The products of the Huntelaar consortium alone occupy one-twentieth of the space of the World Expo, not to mention the American electric power company and the Lego toy company that have a relationship with Mr. Huntelaar.

There is no doubt that these new products have caused a huge sensation!

The surging crowd squeezed the relevant booths several times, and orders poured in from all over the world, and the total number of orders gathered in front of John during the World Expo alone exceeded 60 million, and it is expected that in 1905, the sales of these new products alone will exceed 200 million US dollars!

The most striking thing is the new equipment of the Huntelaar Arms Manufacturing Company.

The new Model 1904 Army equipment, rifles, pistols, heavy machine guns and artillery, as well as grenades and mortars that were shining in the Russo-Japanese War, surprised the U.S. War Department and caught it off guard.

The performance parameters of these weapons, all there.

For example, rifles have a faster rate of fire, higher accuracy, and are more reliable. Another example is the rapid-fire artillery using French technology, the rate of fire per minute is twice as high as that of the old American artillery, not to mention the military observers in the Far East, who have clearly seen the magic of grenades and mortars!

These new equipment have made the US Army, which has just been reequipped for a few years, happy and worried.

The good news is that the performance of these equipment is more advanced, and the performance of the previous generation has been greatly improved. Once purchased, the combat effectiveness of the army can be greatly improved, and the worry is because it has only been a few years? The Huntelaar Arms Company has updated its product line, and it would be a lot of money if it was reloaded......

Anyone can see that the Huntelaar consortium is already unstoppable!

Even JP Morgan, the current Wall Street emperor, couldn't help but sigh privately after visiting the World Expo in person, he not only witnessed the rise and formation of an empire, but also provided the empire with the first and largest pot of gold. The purchase of the Phinesco Bicycle Company in that year allowed John to establish the Heinz Pharmaceutical Company and the Heinz Medical Devices Company, and later the purchase of the Carnegie Steel Company gave the Huntelaar consortium more tractor companies, chemical industry and weapons manufacturing companies......

A huge modern consortium was formed right before Morgan's eyes.

And what makes Morgan most helpless is that although the Morgan consortium he controls is huge, far from being comparable to the Huntelaar consortium, in the face of that young man who is only half his age, Morgan always feels a little lacking in confidence.

Take a paper and a pen to settle the account, and everything will be understood.

John? Huntelaar's beginnings have never relied on finance or monopoly, but on pure technological flow. From the first bicycle paths, later cars, from aspirin to radios, to now Browning and battleships. The Huntelaar consortium has never made money by squeezing workers or defrauding the U.S. government, but by honest technology.

In a word, they produce products that no one else can replace.

And the most incomprehensible thing for Morgan is, why is that young man's vision so accurate? From Benz in Karlsruhe to Tesla in the United States, from Browning to Lowell and Dewey, this kid has never failed. And the courage is also amazing, once you identify a certain goal, you will not hesitate to smash in, and then watch a company or even an industry develop so rapidly, and even leave no chance to meddle for others!

For this kind of person, it is really Morgan who hates it the most.

For a long time, whether it was Rockefeller, Carnegie, or Morgan, they relied on various financial and violent means to ensure the expansion of the company, but these methods did not work for the Huntelaar family. Violence says that the old Huntelaar is not afraid, and the little Huntelaar is not afraid of financial means - he has never failed, and even the companies are mostly wholly-owned, how do you start?

Fight for financial resources, there is no point, fight for wisdom, and no one can fight him!

Even Morgan's most advantageous financial sector has been hit several times since the start of Huntelaar Bank. The Boer War and the Spanish War are all about it, after all, Morgan also benefited a lot from it, but during the Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, the performance of the Bank of Huntelaar was like the grandest opera, which made all the financiers stunned!

This is true in almost all the industries that the Huntelaar family entered.

For example, Huntelaar Insurance Company, the first in the world to launch auto insurance, immediately captured the entire U.S. auto insurance market before other insurance companies could react. Although the current car insurance is pitiful in scale, but others can't see it, can Morgan, who once wanted to build his own car company, understand?

After this trip to the World Expo, Morgan can be completely clear.

For the past decade, Morgan has tried to replicate John's success and then beat him with his deep pockets. The Flying Pigeon Bicycle Company and American Electric Power Company are prime examples, and the Huntelaar Company was handed over to Morgan and then enjoyed great success. So Morgan wanted to replicate that success in car companies, pharmaceutical companies, and later in Tesla's research.

But without exception, Morgan failed.

He didn't know that John's success was due to his mastery of technology that was ahead of his time, and that without him, sulfonamides would have been decades late, and automobiles would not have been able to develop to the extent they are now. As for Tesla, John is even less likely to invest in research that he knows will fail.

But Morgan knows, John? Huntelaar's success is hard to replicate.

So when Morgan saw one new invention after another by the Huntelaar consortium at the World Expo, and the company door he had built with intelligence did nothing, he finally decided to give up. Give up the idea of replicating Huntelaar's success and refocus all your attention on what you do best...... (To be continued.) )
