In December 1920, John? Once again, the name Huntelaar shocked the world. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

This time it was because he published a statement in fifty newspapers in the United States at the same time, that is, after acquiring the war reparations from China in cash, he announced that he would renounce the right to demand this reparation from Germany, and announced that he would donate this reparation to all German citizens!

A statement that shook the world!

Even for a country, three billion marks is a huge amount, which is equivalent to more than 100 million pounds! But in this statement, John? Mr. Huntelaar gave up the money lightly and gave it all to the German people......

There is no doubt that this caused an uproar!

For a while, the whole world was talking about this issue, especially in the United States and Germany, and the discussion about this matter has almost reached the point of being known to everyone! Naturally, the Americans are incomprehensible, and they do not understand why Mr. Huntelaar would be so kind to China and Germany, even though he is an American, and has been donating money to the former and supporting others, and now he is giving the latter hundreds of millions of dollars in one go -- in their opinion, giving up the recovery is equivalent to donating!

Even the Germans themselves, in fact, are a little puzzled.

However, whether they could understand or not did not prevent the Germans from being grateful to John, especially when the French did not hesitate to send a large number of troops to force the Germans to repay the loan as soon as possible, and John's generosity was immediately infinitely grateful to the Germans. By this time, they had already abandoned their dissatisfaction with the Huntelaar Consortium's performance in the war, leaving only gratitude.

Therefore, at the beginning of 1921, when Huntelaar chemical, automobile, civil aircraft manufacturing and radio companies entered Germany, announcing the establishment of R&D centers and manufacturing plants in Germany to promote the recovery of the German economy as soon as possible, few people doubted their intentions, and countless top related talents flocked to join the great Huntelaar consortium......

Of course, it is undeniable that this is also related to the fact that the Huntelaar consortium is able to provide a good income.

And unlike other German companies in this period, the Huntelaar consortium never owed the wages of its R&D personnel and engineers, whether profitable or not, and always paid them in full and on time, which allowed them to establish an unbreakable prestige in Germany. Therefore, when the time came to 1923, when the Huntelaar consortium began to recruit talents in shipbuilding, automobiles, railways, steel, chemical and other fields for a long time, and assigned them to work in the far East, and their salaries doubled, more Germans who did not seize the opportunity for the first time poured in, and with unprecedented enthusiasm, they joined in the construction of the country that had been slandered by Wilhelm II in every way......

……

On April 17, 1921, John? Huntelaar's 54th birthday.

On this year's birthday, the Huntelaar family did not make a big move, but invited a small group of friends to get together, and then at the party, John announced the decision to go to China at the end of April. He was accompanied by two big men, one is the Rockefeller Jr., who controls the Rockefeller consortium, and the other is Morgan Jr., who is the controller of the Morgan consortium.

For the travel of Mr. Huntelaar and the two big shots, Huntelaar Shipping has specially set aside the most luxurious cruise ship!

Everyone is full of expectations for this trip to the Far East, especially when the ten-year plan jointly formulated by the Huntelaar consortium and the Chinese government is finally completed, little Morgan looks at the huge numbers on it, and even his heart jumps with excitement, as if he sees a brilliant golden avenue!

There is no doubt that this is a big project comparable to the rise of the United States!

China plans to build at least 20,000 kilometers of railways in the next 10 years, and according to the agreement reached between the two sides, all railways can be invested and built by American companies with the right to operate for 30 years! Although unlike the Qing Dynasty, this railway investment is purely commercial, no strings attached, let alone the division of spheres of influence, and the price of the railway must also be within the designated range of the Chinese government, but Morgan still sees the golden light - this is not only the construction of railways, but involves a series of industrial chains such as steel and manufacturing, almost all of which can be controlled by their Morgan consortium!

Even for the Morgan consortium, this is a super big cake!

In addition, there are various fields such as electricity, automobiles, oil, minerals, etc., and the Chinese government has also fully opened up to American capital! As long as the relevant laws of China are complied with, all investment and business activities can be carried out legally, and the Chinese government also provides preferential policies for tax exemption for five years after completion! Although these are large projects that take a long time, and it will take several years to complete the project, but if you think about the tax exemption for five years and the extremely low cost of land and manpower, it will all be earned......

In John's view, Morgan's idea is a bit like that of future companies investing in China.

Compared with the current average daily wages of workers in the United States, the wages of Chinese are indeed terrifyingly low. What's even more exciting is that after 20 years of unremitting efforts by the Huntelaar consortium, there is no shortage of top talent and a large number of skilled workers in China. Every year, the number of people returning to China from studying in the United States has exceeded 20,000, and more than ten years of training and the labor who returned to China after the end of the European war have also allowed China to have millions of skilled workers, which have given Morgan's investment a soil for development.

With a stable political environment, low wages and costs, and abundant natural resources, which capitalist wants to miss out?

Not to mention that China, with a population several times that of the United States, is a huge market in the eyes of Morgan Jr. Although China is now poor, so poor that people are speechless, and it seems to them to be in disarray, the central government's decrees are not even to the bottom. But with the Beiyang government's real unification of the country, all kinds of problems are being solved quickly, once their economy starts to develop, it is a huge and frightening market!

So in the eyes of Morgan Jr., China is another United States that is alive and well.

If it is really as John said, there are countless minerals under this continent, as well as inexhaustible human resources, now is undoubtedly the best time to enter it. Therefore, he was also very glad that the Huntelaar Consortium did not eat alone, but introduced the opportunity to them, otherwise they would find out when the Huntelaar Consortium had eaten and wiped it clean, so what was left?

So when John extended the invitation, Morgan Jr. immediately responded.

Compared with the other giants who were suspicious and politely refused the trip, or only sent the corresponding personnel, Morgan Jr. was full of confidence. It's not that he knows much about China, it's that since the time of Morgan Sr., Morgan Jr. has learned one thing from his father, or an iron rule, that is, if John? What Huntelaar has decided to invest heavily in, then the Morgan consortium had better throw money at it right away, and it is best to get ahead of Huntelaar!

Unfortunately, Morgan Sr. never succeeded.

So this time there is a chance to start at the same time as John, Morgan Jr. is absolutely unwilling to give up this opportunity, he believes that the plan given to him by the other party should be true, otherwise it will not be specific to Shanxi, Inner Mongolia and Henan There are large coal mines, Anshan, Benxi, Panzhihua and Baiyun Obo and other places have large iron mines, Daqing, Shandong and Henan have oil fields are all listed, so including millions of skilled industrial workers, including the Chinese government's huge plan and those preferential policies, Morgan Jr. believes that it should be true......

As for Rockefeller Jr., that's another story.

In addition to examining whether China is worth investing in industry, Rockefeller Jr. and John went together this time for another important purpose, that is, to attend the opening ceremony of Peking Union Medical College!

After eight years of preparation and a cost of $13 million, the Union Medical College has finally been completed!

In the original history, the completion of Peking Union Medical College invested 7.5 million US dollars, in order to be able to attend his father's important work in person, Rockefeller Jr. set off from New York, and it took more than a month to arrive in Beijing, just to attend the opening ceremony. And because of the appearance of John, the old Rockefeller, who was stimulated by the emergence of John, doubled his investment, making the Union Medical College larger and more advanced, in order to be able to compete with the Xiangya Medical College in the south!

People are not old-hearted, and old Rockefeller wants to break his wrists with John!

So on April 27, 1921, John? Huntelaar, along with Morgan Jr. and Rockefeller Jr., boarded a fast cruise ship in San Francisco to the other side of the ocean, and they were about to make huge waves in another huge country until they completely changed that country......
