Germany's Huntelaar pharmaceutical company has long since ceased to exist. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In his place was the brilliant German pharmaceutical company United Pharmaceuticals, which accounted for half of the market in Germany and continental Europe. As John? Mr. Huntelaar's starting place, United Pharma undoubtedly has the most solid foundation!

Fortunately, in the final result, John still has a thirty percent stake.

The only thing that makes him feel sorry is that the Huntelaar laboratory, which was painstakingly established back then, has now become the industry of the German United Pharmaceutical Company. And because of the huge gap between the United States and Germany, even if John offered the highest salary and the best conditions, he ended up poaching only one-tenth of the technicians. The rest were divided between companies such as United Pharma, BASF and Bayer.

"Sooner or later they will find out what a stupid decision it was!"

When John heard the news, he was both distressed and rejoicing.

It is ironic that the laboratory team he built with the modern research system will be carved up by several companies. But fortunately, in this case, the future of Huntelaar Pharmaceutical will have one less strong opponent, which is a good thing for him personally.

In contrast, the development of United Pharma in Germany has not been comparable to that of British and French companies.

Without him, the size of the market determines everything. When the product performance of the three companies is exactly the same, and the production cost is not much different, the final determining factor is the size of the market. Although the Germans occupy half of the market on the European continent because of their preconceived advantages, Britain and France have extremely vast colonies, and products can enter these markets without hindrance, while the Germans have a lot of effort, so the annual profits of the German United Pharmaceutical have not changed much, and have always stayed below 30 million marks, which is much worse than the level of the American Heinz Pharmaceutical Company.

Of course, even so, United Pharma is a giant.

Therefore, if we calculate carefully, in addition to the fact that the 20% stake of General Motors is not worth mentioning, which can only bring John a dividend of 1.8 million marks a year, T&H's annual profit of more than 2 million pounds belongs to John, about 600,000 of John's profits, and of the 30 million francs of the United Pharmaceutical Company, 9 million or more than 400,000 pounds belong to him, while the German United Pharmaceutical Company has less than 10 million marks. Combined, the three companies bring John more than $7 million in profits every year!

It's exciting to think about, that's seven million dollars in 1902!

Of course, this is only the profit of the three companies, and the dividends are definitely not so much. But considering that the three companies don't have much to invest in, John gets three to four million dollars in dividends every year. This figure is already very impressive, you must know that even Rockefeller's huge Standard Oil Company has a net profit of only tens of millions of dollars a year......

None of these things are the most important.

Most importantly, after a long journey and delays, on June 9, 1902, Johann finally arrived in his third hometown, Berlin.

At the beginning of the 20th century, a growing metropolis.

Berlin has grown far beyond what one might think, with a growing city and a growing population that makes Johan, who has been away from the European continent for many years, feel like a world away. The only thing he was familiar with was the Huntelaar Manor, which was almost exactly the same as it had been ten years earlier, and under the careful care of the Bristers, John's favorite manor was as it had been when it had been built.

Xiao Bisheng is newly married, and John and Anna have their own sweetness in the evening.

Early the next morning, the old man's family came to visit. Perhaps because their careers and lives are relatively smooth, the Bristers are not much different from a few years ago. John's mother-in-law was a little older in comparison, but Mr. Brister was the perfect example of a mature man, and he didn't look like he was sixty years old at all.

Mr. and Mrs. Brister, who had met their daughter in advance, were unusually enthusiastic about John.

This is also a matter of course, not to mention John's current status, just his attitude towards Anna as always says it all. You know, this year, as in the future, it is rare for a rich man to be able to be single-minded all the time. For example, the most famous Edward VII is now a super playboy with a reputation known throughout Europe......

After chatting with the parents, Mr. Brister began to talk to John.

John and the Brister family also have some collaboration. Heinz Pharmaceuticals is just about it, and the John and Brister families once founded a company on daily necessities, which is H&B Company named after them.

"Speaking of which, H&B is more profitable."

Speaking of business, Mr. Brister said excitedly: "Huntelaar Commodity Company rules North America, but we H&B Company dominate the whole of Europe!" John, you know what? Over the years, countless companies have tried to copy our products, but they have never been able to crack the ingredients of the shampoo and soap you invented! So we basically occupy the mid-to-high-end market, and they can only survive in the low-end market......"

When he said this, Mr. Brister was simply red-faced!

The shampoo John made to coax Anna to create the current daily necessities giant H&B Company was born, which John always found a little odd. In fact, not only H&B, but also Huntelaar Commodity Company in North America, which fought Procter & Gamble in the same period and retreated without any ability to fight back. If according to the level of the same period in history, Procter & Gamble's turnover should have been 10 million US dollars, but when the Huntelaar Commodity Company surpassed Procter & Gamble five years ago, the other party's turnover has been sideways, but the Huntelaar Commodity Company has exceeded 10 million US dollars and has become the well-deserved No. 1 in the United States.

No matter how you look at it, it's all the rhythm of hanging.

And......

"In the next ten years, it will be a golden age!"

Feeling the excitement of his father-in-law, John couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. In the past ten years before the First World War, it can be said that it is the best development opportunity for the Huntelaar consortium, the economic development of Europe and the United States, the improvement of people's living standards, John's company will have more and more opportunities. Even fledgling arms companies should not lack opportunities because of Roosevelt's rise to power and good relations with the War Department.

And in a dozen years, the First World War will break out.

I am afraid that no one in this world could have predicted the length and enormity of that war, and no one would have predicted what a huge opportunity it would be...... (To be continued.) )
