Chapter Twenty-Six: Making a Fortune
It has been more than 20 years since the first pot of gold was sold for the patent of the light bulb. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
For a time-traveler, John's speed of "starting a family" is undoubtedly a bit slow. Because John never thought to be able to soar to the sky, because after coming to this era, he learned a lot from old Huntelaar from this cruel world. He knows that what he has created is undoubtedly the most profitable, or the most profitable industry and company in the future, and the slightest mistake is faced with the swarming wolves.
It was with this in mind that John walked over steadily.
Or, like a pharmaceutical company, once it is done, it will firmly grasp it, and use the technology or concept ahead of the times to occupy the market, but not blindly expand. In such a situation, competitors have nothing to do, even if they meet a big man like Morgan, with the old Huntelaar's connections in New York for decades, the other party will not dare to make any tricks, after all, at the end of the 19th century in New York, the power of Germans is still quite strong.
Either like a car company or a power company, or even the original Flying Pigeon Bicycle Company, it did not have the idea of monopoly from the beginning, or simply sold it to make money, or cooperated with those powerful people and silently collected the annual dividends......
Facts have proved that this development idea is absolutely correct.
However, as the Huntelaar family grew stronger and eventually became the top consortium in the United States, this development idea is of course somewhat inapplicable. So when the time came in 1901, John began to invest on a large scale, and tens of millions of dollars were spent by him in just over half a year!
The power of the Huntelaar family is also truly at the top of the United States.
Although the scale and funds have been reached before, in terms of influence and power, there is undoubtedly a big gap between the Huntelaar family and Rockefeller, Morgan and other consortia, but with the old Huntelaar working hard for many years and the old Roosevelt also successfully entered the White House, this disadvantage no longer exists. There may still be a certain gap in influence compared with Morgan, but it is enough to protect itself.
So by 1905, Huntelaar's industry had begun to explode!
New cars, watches, tractors, pharmaceutical companies and so on, these are either the core industries of the Huntelaar family, or they are leading by virtue of technology, but the impact of assembly lines, synthetic ammonia, battleships, army equipment and so on is really big!
The advent of the assembly line has made the sales price of the car exceed 500 US dollars, and it has truly become an ordinary commodity.
The maturity of the ammonia synthesis process brought the price of saltpeter in South America to the bottom overnight, and Germany and Austria and other countries were overjoyed, because they found the possibility of making a large number of explosives without relying on sea, that is, by breaking through the British blockade.
As for the large-scale renewal of battleships and the Army, without years of operation in the War Department and the Admiralty, and without the backing of President Roosevelt, this kind of good thing may not have been able to catch up......
In the whole of the United States, there is no longer a force that can stop the Huntelaar consortium.
Perhaps in terms of strength and influence, the Huntelaar Consortium cannot be compared with the Morgan Consortium, after all, it is a behemoth that has never existed, but in its own field, the Morgan Consortium has no power to stop the Huntelaar Consortium.
At least until Morgan's old fox died, he would never choose to go toe-to-toe with the Huntelaar consortium.
After all, unlike any other consortium, John? Huntelaar almost never relied on capital and other means, relying on leading technology and superhuman vision, and those methods of the Morgan consortium were not used at all......
……
April 1906, study at the Huntelaar House.
There is no third person, just a study room for two people, so that the middle-aged white man ...... No, now at the age of fifty, he can barely be considered an old man...... Feeling a little depressed, especially when he found out about John? Mr. Huntelaar was staring at the newspaper in his hand at this time, and there was no time to look up at him!
Middle-aged white people know that today's events are probably very important!
"Hehe, as I expected!"
Just when middle-aged white people can't help but start thinking cranky, John? Mr. Huntelaar sighed suddenly, and threw the newspaper on the table in front of him.
"Huh?!"
Glancing curiously at the newspaper on the table, the middle-aged white man's gaze suddenly glazed.
"Look, this is our plane!"
Knocking on the newspaper on the table, John laughed and said: "Although I chose a relatively narrow place, it only took ten minutes to fly across the English Channel, which is enough to make those Europeans exclaim, not to mention that Little Wright also set a record of three and a half hours of continuous flight in Paris......"
"Uh......"
In John's exclamation, the middle-aged white man was suddenly a little confused: wasn't Mr. just thinking about a big thing?
But......
"Ten minutes to fly over the English Channel seems quite remarkable!"
Thinking of what Mr. Huntelaar had just said, the middle-aged white man couldn't help but glance at the newspaper curiously. As one of Mr. Huntelaar's closest aides, he was certainly well aware of the affairs of the plane, including the dispatch of the Wright brothers to Europe for a demonstration this time. Actually, Mr. Huntelaar was not very reluctant, but because the aircraft technology had reached a certain level, no one, including the Wright brothers, could not follow the idea of becoming famous, and it was no longer possible to show it to the world......
"Okay, let's not talk about that."
Just when the middle-aged white man was secretly pondering, Mr. Huntelaar waved his hand lightly and smiled: "Calling you over today is a very important matter!" And I believe that if we are well prepared and do it well, we can bring very large benefits next year...... Of course, everything is top secret, understand? ”
"Yes, sir."
Almost instantly, the middle-aged white man's heart beat violently. Of course he understood what Mr. Huntelaar meant, after all, the previous records had proven one thing, and when Mr. Huntelaar said that it would bring huge benefits, that number would definitely make everyone's hearts skip a beat!
'Boom!'
Swallowing a mouthful of foam hard, the middle-aged white man asked in a low voice with a somewhat dry voice, "Mr. Huntelaar, this time it's still ...... War? Which two countries? Africa? Asia? Or South America? ”
"War?"
John was slightly stunned when he heard this, and glanced at the middle-aged white man strangely, then shook his head and smiled: "This time it has nothing to do with the war, and it's not on other continents!" ”
"Huh?"
After hearing this answer, the middle-aged white man was stunned for a moment.
Taking a deep breath, John's voice instantly became low: "So today's words, you must keep it strictly secret, and you can't let a third person know, and next year we must make a lot of ......money for him" (To be continued.) )
