"Huh. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Looking at the few cars that were gradually moving away, John couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth: "Sure enough, none of these old guys are fuel-efficient lamps, they are all proper old foxes!" ”

After standing still for a moment, John couldn't help but smile softly.

Just half an hour earlier, John had made up his mind after a brief silence to face off against the two old giants. He not only voiced his "judgment" about the situation in Europe. And in order to explain why he frantically expanded the Huntelaar consortium, John even directly "speculated" about the size and length of the war!

Of course, John has two old giants in town!

No matter what the consequences of today's conversation with the two old giants will be, John has no interest in analyzing and calculating, because today is April 17, 1914! If the wheels of history had not turned or stopped, which would have been impossible in the light of the experience of the last few decades, that frantic war in Europe would soon have broken out!

So at this point, John didn't have to hide anything anymore.

Even for the sake of all things, he doesn't mind letting more people know about it - and even if they do, what can they do?

No one knew better than John the size and madness of the war, and no one knew better how to get the most out of it. So he was not afraid to tell Rockefeller and Carnegie what he was going to do at this time, because John knew very well that even if they knew now, they would not change anything—two months would not change anything in a war of this magnitude.

So......

Thinking of all the Huntelaar executives who had been left behind after the banquet, John smiled lightly again, turned around and walked into his house without hesitation......

Returning home, John certainly wouldn't know that shortly after the two convoys left Huntelaar's house, Rockefeller followed Carnegie to his New York residence, and the two walked into a quiet room together.

"It's crazy!"

With his dry fingers gently rubbing the handle of the delicate teacup, Carnegie sighed with a wry smile: "Many people judge that a war will break out in Europe, and some people even think that this war will not be small in scale and will cause great damage!" But...... Who would dare to make such a crazy judgment like that young man? ”

Carnegie was responded to by the silence of the elder Rockefeller.

What I heard at Huntelaar's house today had a great impact on Rockefeller. As one of the world's best businessmen in the past few decades, even if he is now retired, it does not mean that he has closed himself off, so Rockefeller knew what Carnegie's words meant.

That young man, indeed, is crazy!

Therefore, when the Huntelaar family first heard those words of the other party, Rockefeller's first reaction was to laugh. He couldn't understand how a consortium bigger than the Rockefellers could do so many ridiculous things because of such a crazy speculation - decisions that would be enough to drive the Huntelaar consortium into the abyss!

But......

When the elder Rockefeller left the Huntelaar house and thought a lot on the way to Carnegie Manor, he suddenly had a very strange feeling!

Strange, very subtle feeling.

After a moment of silence, Rockefeller suddenly spoke in a low voice: "Sir, I personally agree with Mr. Huntelaar's judgment that a terrible war is likely to occur in Europe, but ...... I can't imagine that this war will be as big as he thinks it will be, let alone last for a few years......"

After a moment of silence, Carnegie nodded slowly, "Hmm...... I'm thinking the same thing. It's just ......"

"Just what?"

With a slight frown, Rockefeller couldn't help but ask.

"But I also know that the young man has never failed."

After exhaling lightly, Carnegie's eyes suddenly flickered frequently: "I've been following it since he sold me the patent for stainless steel, and then I found a very terrible fact, that is, he has never failed, or ...... He never made the wrong decision! This time, will it be an exception? Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing the results soon! ”

"This ......"

After hearing Carnegie's words, Rockefeller fell silent again.

He knew that there was nothing wrong with what the other party said, and like Carnegie and the deceased Morgan, Rockefeller was also concerned about John? Huntelaar has been around for more than a decade and certainly knows this.

I don't know how many times, Rockefeller shuddered about this!

And what makes Rockefeller feel even more terrible is that whether he and Carnegie, or the dead Morgan, they are all taking the route of capital, mergers, etc., and this John? Huntelaar has always been different, from the original bicycles, toys, stainless steel and aspirin, to later cars, radios and airplanes, etc., all things that no one else can interfere with - even if they want to imitate, Rockefeller can't find a way!

The most typical is Morgan, who suffered a big loss on Tesla.

So after listening to Carnegie's words at this time, the corners of Rockefeller's eyes also jumped wildly, and he fell silent for the third time. After a long time, he sighed and said in a low voice, "Maybe...... But if he's still right this time, then ...... What kind of monster will the already powerful Huntelaar consortium develop into? Hehe, I'm starting to look forward to seeing that day......"

……

"Gentlemen, that's why you've always wanted to know!"

In the largest parlor of the Huntelaar family, John? Huntelaar looked around at his subordinates and said calmly: "And according to my judgment, within half a year...... At most, half a year later, the war will break out, so the next period of time is also the most critical moment, which is a very severe test for everyone! ”

“……”

In the living room, it seems to have become a vacuum in an instant!

Except for Taylor and the others, who had been aware of it for a long time, most of them stood there stunned as if they had been struck by a bolt of lightning, their eyes wide and their mouths wide open, as if they had stuffed a transparent duck egg in their mouths!

This......

How can it be?!

Just as most people in 2017 would never have believed that the world would be destroyed in a nuclear war in half a year, people in 1914 would never have believed that there would be a war that would engulf the whole of Europe and the whole world! For them, the Boer War launched by the British and the Spanish-American War launched by the Americans were already "large-scale", and the Franco-Prussian War a few decades ago was even more "shocking"!

Especially for Americans, this is something that is unimaginable.

Ten years ago, in the Spanish-American War, Spain issued a mere intimidation declaration, causing a large number of Americans to flee inland from the eastern seaboard, and countless people frantically bought weapons to prepare to meet the invasion of the Spanish "invaders". For the Americans, who still only have the Union Army and no real concept of a national army, a war that covers all of Europe is tantamount to the end of the world!

How could they believe these words of John?

However, for the Lord, since they dare to say this "speculation" at this point in time, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not, or it doesn't matter to John. It is only because the situation of the Huntelaar consortium has begun to deteriorate recently, whether it is external or internal, the voices of decline and decline have been heard endlessly, and it has faintly begun to affect the development of various affairs of the consortium.

So taking this opportunity, John finally had a showdown!

"Next, all you have to do is move on!"

With a vigorous wave of his hand, John said firmly in an unquestioning tone: "And in addition to the day-to-day management affairs, I have made several special plans that I need you to implement!" Some of these plans are in the United States, some are in Europe, and some are even in the Far East, and I don't care what you think, but there is only one request, and that is to follow the plan I have made......"
