In early 1908, Oklahoma became the 46th state of the United States. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Huntelaar consortium started early and bought large tracts of land in Tulsa and other places. John? Mr. Huntelaar seems to have a particular interest in land, and the vast tracts of land he hoarded in Manhattan have brought him huge profits - the land he bought has increased in value at least twice as much over the years! In addition to Manhattan, Mr. Huntelaar also hoarded large amounts of land in Texas, California, and Oklahoma, but in the eyes of others, hoarding such land was not interesting, and the desolate people did not want to look at it.

No one knows why, only that Mr. Huntelaar sets aside a fixed amount of money every year to invest in land.

However, in the eyes of some people with a heart, although they also don't know the reason, it does not prevent them from acting together. Over the past three decades, John? Mr. Huntelaar has proven so many things, including precision and foresight in his investments. For example, a large estate he bought in Southeast Asia a few years ago was planted with rubber trees, and this year it is finally time for a big explosion!

The sudden explosion of the car market has made the rubber plantation a super profitable business!

In 1906, the Americans imported only more than $20 million of rubber, and the British only had more than 400,000 pounds, but by June 1908, the import volume exceeded this figure in half a year. Before, it was only 1 shilling for a pound of rubber, but by the end of 1907 it had become 6 shillings, and by June 1908 it had skyrocketed to 14 shillings! Clear-eyed people have calculated an account, and the mining cost of each pound of rubber is only 1.6 shillings, but the market price is more than 14 shillings, and the profits are crazy!

The huge demand from Europe and the United States has pushed rubber prices all the way up.

The industrial use of rubber began to increase, and most importantly the explosion of the automobile industry, when the Huntelaar Motor Company lowered the price of cars to $500 and announced that cheaper cars would be launched in the future, the rubber market went completely crazy. Countless capitals began to pour into Southeast Asia, trying to find opportunities in one of the world's major rubber producing regions. But when they arrived, they were surprised to find that almost all the largest, best-located, and best-condition plantations had been acquired by one company - Huntelaar Far East Minerals!

Everybody knows, that's John? Mr. Huntelaar's company!

Especially in the Philippines, the Huntelaar Far East Minerals Company almost ruled the country, with the support of President Roosevelt, the Admiralty and the War Department, the Huntelaar Far East Minerals Company took almost one-third of the Philippines, and built a large number of rubber plantations in Java and other places, and it was almost harvest time in a few years.

Anyone who sees this situation can not be red-eyed and hot-headed?

If it were someone else, maybe the British and Dutch would have to think a little bit of crookedness. It's just that when they heard the surname Huntelaar, they consciously put those careful thoughts behind them.

No one dared to fight the idea of this American giant, not even the British, the hegemon of this world!

Therefore, other capital had to desperately buy land in Southeast Asia and build rubber plantations, and in just half a year in 1908, more than 100 rubber companies were added to Southeast Asia! It's just that investing in a rubber plantation is not an easy thing, not to mention the huge investment, it is not easy to harvest the rubber trees after planting, and it takes many years to wait. Capital is profit-seeking, and businessmen are naturally reluctant to let go of the best opportunity in front of them, so after the entanglement, they quickly set their sights on the financial center of the East - one-third of the companies are listed in Shanghai!

No one noticed that a storm in history had been foreshadowed by the rise of the Huntelaar Motor Company!

In this era, Shanghai is a well-deserved financial center in the Far East, whether it is Tokyo in Japan or Hong Kong under the notice of the United Kingdom, they are far from being comparable to Shanghai in terms of status. So when speculators from all over the world found that investing in rubber plantations had a promising future, but that the rubber harvest would have to wait for many years, they turned their eyes to the financial markets......

“…… For this financial war, I only want results! ”

In a secret telegram sent to the branch of the Far Eastern Huntelaar Bank, John? Mr. Huntelaar's words are callous: "Your target is everyone, Chinese or foreign banks!" There is no need to care about the identity and background of those capitals, and it is important to ensure that the interests of the Huntelaar Bank are maximized......"

When he wrote this, John's face couldn't help but show a hint of unbearable.

But it was only a few seconds of hard work that John buried this intolerance deep in his heart, and then continued to write in cold strokes: "Don't wait passively, but take the initiative...... All the plantations can be spun off and listed, and our rubber plantations are already tapping or will be able to tap, which is far more attractive than their stock...... The world's largest market is in the United States, and the largest rubber user in the United States is the Huntelaar consortium, which controls half of the world's rubber demand, which is an incomparable advantage...... When everything is ready, the Huntelaar consortium will cooperate with you in making an announcement...... I hope to complete the ...... by the end of 1909 at the latest"

After writing the telegram, John checked it twice before handing it over to his butler.

As the owner of the world's largest and most technologically advanced radio company, John's home is equipped with state-of-the-art transmitters all year round to communicate with important partners and subordinates. And as a traverser, John not only has the most advanced radio, but also the most advanced encryption technology, and Huntelaar Wireless Communications has a team of ten people to guarantee the absolute security of information.

Today's Huntelaar Communications Company has long been a giant.

If Huntelaar Communications goes public, its market value will probably be no less than that of Bell Telephone, but after a long time in the American financial community, it has not been able to wait for the slightest news that the company will go public. Because John is well aware of the potential of his company, needless to say in the first war in a few years, the key is that the radio broadcasting system is continuing to be improved, and the potential is much more than that of radio......

Far from it.

In a word, John, as a traverser, has long been ready for everything. In fact, he was ready for everything long before the British began to plan. Only this time, while he planned to clean up those foreigners and foreign banks, he did not plan to let go of his compatriots, and even planned to do it more ruthlessly.

This big action will push the Qing government, which is already standing on the edge of the cliff, into the abyss...... (To be continued.) )
