“…… His purpose couldn't be more obvious. ”

On the way home, the old Huntelaar said in a calm voice: "I just want to buy the shares of Newton Power Company from us again, so as to achieve the purpose of entering and controlling the alternating current industry...... Hehe, I know this Mr. Morgan quite well, he is a person with a strong desire to control, and he will definitely use any means to achieve his goals! ”

"Hmm."

After a moment of silence, John nodded slowly.

Let's not talk about Morgan's famous name in history, let's just say that who can become a generation of tycoons in this era, which one can be lightly imagined? And in John's memory, there is a saying that in Tesla's career, whether it is alternating current or radio warfare, there is a faint shadow of Morgan, a big man!

"Hehe......"

After thinking for a moment, John himself suddenly chuckled.

The life after the crossing is really wonderful, just when he arrived in New York, John met Edison, the overlord of direct current, and then he found Tesla, who supported alternating current, and now he has an intersection with the key man Morgan! The fact that these great figures, who have been written about in history, appeared in front of John's eyes one by one, which could not help but give him an extremely wonderful feeling of participating in history!

And even more amazingly, John could change history!

The patent for the bamboo silk light bulb was sent back to Edison, but he took the opportunity to earn his first pot of gold; invested heavily in cooperation with Tesla, completely gained a firm foothold in the field of alternating current, and became one of the pioneers in the whole world; Now I met Morgan again, and we discussed something related to alternating current......

Leisurely, John smiled and said, "Grandpa, anyway, our Newton Electric Power Company just needs more capital to develop." If Mr. Morgan really wants to get in on the line, wouldn't it be right? "That's what I said......"

Old Huntelaar frowned, and said helplessly: "But this Mr. Morgan is not a philanthropist, and can even be said to be a hungry wolf, I am afraid that when he completely controls the Newton Power Company into his own hands, then we will have no right to speak!" ”

John was a little unimpressed by his grandfather's worries. He smiled slightly: "Grandpa, the power company has never been the center of our future, as long as it can bring enough benefits, what does it matter who is in whose hands?" ”

"Uh......"

After listening to John's words, old Huntelaar was visibly stunned.

Although the elder Huntelaar had long known that the only things John really valued in his heart were Heinz Pharmaceutical Company and medical device companies, he still didn't expect that his grandson's attitude towards other companies could be so free and easy that he could hand over the control of the company!

You must know that although the Huntelaar family only had 60% of the shares when they cooperated with Tesla, with Tesla's large spending. After several capital injections, this ratio has already risen to more than seventy percent, it can be said that the Huntelaar family completely controls the promising company of Newton Power, and if the leadership is handed over to Morgan lightly, the old Huntelaar is extremely unwilling.

Looking at the slight change in his grandfather's expression, John could only smile bitterly.

If it was a company like General Motors, John himself was not willing to give up, but he really didn't have much interest in the power company. There are so many aspects involved in a power company that you can't just have money to do. For example, in history, because of the obstruction of Morgan and others. Edison's wires could be buried in the ground, but Westinghouse's wires could only be pulled in the air in most places; Another example is just because the wires need copper. Morgan even set up a mining company with the intention of monopolizing the copper industry in the United States......

For John, he didn't want to have such an opponent of his own.

After thinking for a moment, John simply smiled and said, "Grandpa, anyway, our New East Power Company needs bankers, and they need us. I think that once the hospital's power supply system is up and running, we should soon be able to find a mutually acceptable balance......"

Morgan's thoughts about alternating current, John had already guessed clearly.

In order to suppress the promotion of alternating current in these years, Edison does not know how many ridiculous things he has done, and John is quite clear even if he is in continental Europe. If it weren't for the continued investment of the Huntelaar family. I'm afraid that Newton Power Company will not be able to support it for a long time. You know, now Edison's prestige is gradually approaching its peak, and with the help of financial giants like Morgan, DC still has an absolute advantage so far.

But John is sure that Morgan has discovered the disadvantages of direct current.

Direct current requires more copper and other raw materials, the key is that the loss in the transmission process is really strict, and there is no power supply for multiple terminals, etc., which is almost irreconcilable in the city, so it is impossible for a shrewd Morgan not to see these. Because of this, he sent an invitation letter to John, and the goal was probably to want to take a stake in Newton Electric Power Company, or simply get the shares of Newdong Electric Power Company directly from him in the same year!

It's just a pity that both John and his grandfather are very "reserved" today.

"Now is not the time to talk about cooperation!"

Looking out the window at the rapidly receding streetside scene, John's eyes were full of smiles.

John did not resist working with Morgan, in fact, I am afraid that only such a powerful person can quickly promote alternating current to the whole of New York, the United States and even the world. But now is still in the time when Edison has the advantage, and if the Huntelaar family talks to the other party, it will undoubtedly take advantage of the disadvantage, and all parties will definitely suffer a big loss. Therefore, the two of them had already discussed before coming, and the talk was definitely okay, and there was no problem with cooperation, but it had to wait until all the thousands of electric lights in Heinz General Hospital were lit!

As in the history of the 1893 World Expo, thousands of light bulbs lit with alternating current made alternating current truly acceptable to the world.

At that point, it will be time for the two sides to negotiate......

……

As the time approached the end of 1887, the busyness of the two Gentlemen Huntelaar was finally at its peak.

After a long period of preparation, Heinz Medical Devices and Heinz Pharmaceuticals finally completed the commissioning of the equipment and the training of workers, and officially put into production. Although the output is almost insignificant compared to the factory in Berlin due to various problems such as the proficiency of the workers, it is a good start, and the next step is to continue to expand.

For the two factories, it is more important to open up the North American market as much as possible.

Although the fame of aspirin, local anesthetics and sulfonamides has long since spread to the United States, it is still a relatively lagging place compared to Europe, and the new managers hired by the old Huntelaar will have to work as hard as their European counterparts.

As for the hospital that John valued, with the help of Thomas and Ehrlich, all the works were completed by the end of November.

On the basis of following John's design principles, the two helped find many of John's oversights. Even with the memories of his previous life, John is only one person after all, and there are inevitably some problems in such a large project, and more importantly, his ideas are often not suitable for the technology of this era. And Errich and Thomas are experienced in this area and can be said to have helped John a lot.

In addition to these things, the most important thing is the training of doctors and nurses.

Because he had the idea of building a medical school in the future, John simply set up a system of medical schools and nursing schools, and these people brought from Europe had undergone rigorous training from German universities, and the qualifications to be teachers were still sufficient, and soon the newly recruited nurses and physicians became decent.

In just a few months, all the preparations were finally made by the end of 1887...... (To be continued......)
