On the day he returned to Berlin, John saw several telegrams and letters at first sight.

The first place was naturally the telegram of the old Huntelaar, and John saw several good news one after another: he used the stainless steel patent to win 3% of the shares of Carnegie Steel Group, and used 100,000 US dollars to win 60% of the shares of the future Tesla Electric Company, which was an absolutely cost-effective deal in John's opinion, and the estimated value of the old Huntelaar to give him 40% of the shares made John, who was now in urgent need of cash, breathe quickly.

One percent went to those two guys, only two hundred thousand dollars, but the remaining twenty-nine percent old Huntelaar gave an estimate of two million dollars!

Two million dollars, almost ten million marks!

At present, the average daily income of ordinary workers in the United States is less than a dollar, and most of them do not exceed $300 a year, and the Germans are similar, basically not more than 1,000 marks, which means that these shares are equivalent to the annual income of thousands of Americans or Germans!

If you put it before John's crossing, it would be hundreds of millions of dollars!

When he sketched the bike and approached Joshua to work with him, John never imagined that the bike factory would be worth so much money in the future, and it had only been four or five years!

"Sure enough, science and technology are the primary productive forces!"

After putting down old Huntelaar's telegram, John's face was full of happy smiles.

If the bicycle had been slowly perfected according to the historical evolution, I am afraid that no one would have been able to make so much money from it, but John compressed the time of decades into a few blank sheets of paper, and the monetary effect caused by this is quite exaggerated. Moreover, in these years, industrial products, especially those with higher technical content, are also frighteningly profitable, almost comparable to the apple that later generations took a bite of, which also made John more determined to invest in the dye factory and General Motors!

"A few steps ahead. Earn a lot of money! ”

Thinking of the bright "prospects" of the future, John couldn't help but smile and shouted, "Mr. Elber, do you still have red wine at home?" Could you please give me a drink......"

……

The day after John returned to Berlin, it was already Monday.

But after seeing a letter, John took another day off today. At ten o'clock in the morning I arrived at the dye factory I had just bought, and met the former supervisor and two middle-aged gentlemen in well-dressed clothes, Mr. Hans Gluck, the best designer in Berlin, and his assistant.

Of course, John was not sure about the best description, but after looking at the architectural drawings designed by the other party before, he nodded with satisfaction. At least stylistically, there is nothing about the building that makes John uncomfortable.

"Sir, may I hear your request first?"

For the customer, Mr. Gluck naturally had to be careful, and immediately after the greeting, he took out a pen and paper and prepared to record.

"I need a real building!"

Looking at the open space in the northwest corner of the dye factory, John pondered for a moment and then said lightly, "Mr. Gluck, I hope it can be five stories high." It covers an area of at least 1,200 square metres. As for each floor, I would like to have at least two toilets, a bathroom, a storage room and ten offices, each of which should have at least 60 square meters of space......"

After listening to John's series of requests, Mr. Gluck blinked vigorously and said in astonishment, "With all due respect, sir, what is your budget?" ”

"What? Didn't Mr. Daggs tell you? ”

Frowning, John turned his head to look at Mr. Supervisor next to him.

"This ......"

The director grimaced. Shook his head awkwardly. Although John said that it would cost a million marks, how could the director believe it? Naturally, I didn't dare to talk to the architect casually.

After glaring at the Director. John looked back at Mr. Architect and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gluck, the budget for this building is tentatively set at one million marks, and the maximum amount of one and a half million marks can be accepted!" ”

After seeing the numbers given to him by the elder Huntelaar, John relaxed the criteria for investing again. One and a half million marks is just over $300,000, which is his most important property now and even in the next thirty years. John is not stingy with his investment.

"One and a half million marks?!"

Upon hearing this number, the architect and his assistant exclaimed at the same time.

A five-story building would cost 1.5 million marks, a figure that was quite staggering even for the well-informed Gluck, who could never have imagined that a young man like John could quietly throw out such a huge number!

You know, the Eiffel Tower, which was completed a few years later, cost just over 6 million marks.

"Goo-dong!"

It was found that John's expression did not look like a joke. After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Gluck suddenly became excited.

"This building has to be strong!"

Under the burning gaze of the architect, John continued: "So I demanded that it had to be built with reinforced concrete, and that the corridors on each floor be more than three meters wide and that every room had to be well ventilated......"

……

"It's like a war."

Sitting in the galloping carriage, John couldn't help but laugh bitterly and joke to himself.

After returning from the dye factory, after lunch, I rushed to the medical school of the University of Berlin. With the start of the new semester in two weeks, John had to make a trip to the school as an associate professor of surgery to determine what he was responsible for for the new semester – and now that he had been honored as an associate professor, it was only natural for him to teach his students.

In fact, even at the University of Berlin, the number of teachers is inadequate by the standards of later generations, so every teacher hired has to take on a certain teaching task, and most even have to take on two or three courses.

"Mr. Huntelaar, you are required to teach two courses."

The staff in charge of receiving John said respectfully: "One surgery, the other one, which one do you choose?" ”

"Anatomy or physiology."

After a brief consideration, John quickly made his choice.

The course of surgery has only been offered at the University of Berlin for a short time, and as a surgeon, John is naturally the best of the best, and he still hopes to teach anatomy or physiology in another course. The former is the study of the structure of the human body, and the latter is the study of the functions of the human body, both of which are the basis of the foundation of medicine, which is very suitable for John to come up with some theories from time to time in the future......

"Yes, sir."

After seeing that John had made a decision, the staff took notes carefully, and then said with a smile: "The class schedule will be completed in a week, and I will give you a copy at that time, and I wish you a happy teaching ...... the new semester" (to be continued......)
