"Are you sure this is Miss Philip's letter, sir?"

Seeing John's disappointed face at this time, Hans couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I'm sure!"

Sighing, John nodded and said, "Although there was no payment in the end, I am familiar with the things said in it, and I am also familiar with her font, and ...... I can't think of anyone in the world who owes me that much money but her, and insisted on paying it back to me. ”

Less than two hundred dollars, certainly not enough for Miss Philip to pay off John's debts.

In fact, John sponsored his governess twice, the first for $100 and the second for $300. And with John's knowledge of Miss Philip, if she had enough money to pay off the debt, she would probably pay off all the four hundred dollars as soon as possible, and even add interest. But now it's less than two hundred dollars, and reading between the lines of the letter......

At this moment, John was really worried.

Thinking of this, John did not hesitate any longer, and immediately turned his head and said, "Mr. Elber, please help me find Miss Philip anyway, I must see her!" ”

"This ...... All right. ”

After a moment's hesitation, Hans finally agreed.

He knew what had happened, and old Mr. Huntelaar had warned him not to assist John in accessing the governess, but after all these years, Hans admired the woman who still remembered his debts, and subconsciously wanted to help John find him......

……

Worried, John and old Huntelaar got into the car together.

From the words of thanking him, John could see that Miss Philip was in a calm and peaceful mood at this time, but somehow he felt a thick dead air in it. Miss Philip's daughter, Serena, was gone a month ago, the woman who was supposed to be grief-stricken. The language is so peaceful, peaceful, and well-organized, that something is wrong with it......

"John, what do you want?"

Gently patting John's shoulder, old Huntelaar asked lightly.

"Huh? Oh, didn't think about anything. ”

John, who came to his senses, withdrew his gaze from the window. Shook his head.

Old Huntelaar didn't care, either, and continued: "John, there will be a banquet after the morning ceremony, which will be attended by all the shareholders of the power plant, as well as some gentlemen from political and business circles. Many of them are people I know, and some of them have a good relationship with me, so you should know them all when the time comes. ”

“…… Okay, grandpa. ”

At this time, John could only reluctantly agree.

In fact, he knows it very well in his own heart. With two factories in North America producing high-profile drugs and medical devices, and New York Power attracting public attention, it's no longer possible for him as the owner and majority shareholder to keep a low profile. At that time, the Flying Pigeon Bicycle Company also had Joshua and Funk in front of them, but how could they block it this time? Who will help him?

Coming to the foreground is already an inevitable thing.

"However, on the bright side, it is also a good opportunity to promote the hospital."

After a brief period of depression, John quickly thought of what was good for him. Most of his mind is now on Heinz General Hospital. The deserted "business" gave John a lot of headaches, if he could publicize the hospital. It's a good opportunity.

With this in mind, John arrived at the new power plant with his grandfather.

Although it was not too late to set off, when the grandfather and grandson arrived at their destination, there were already many people waiting, especially Morgan, the leader of this cooperation, was talking to others with a smile on his face, so when John saw this famous financier in history. He stood there like a superstar of the emperor of later generations, and the people around him, whether they were rich in New York or not, everyone faintly stepped forward to talk about him, changing one stubble after another.

"See? This is the real big shot! ”

Old Huntelaar, who had also seen all this, sighed softly and whispered to John: "A real big man is not only determined by how much property he owns. How much income he earns each year depends on how much influence he has! Our Huntelaar family's industry is now enough to squeeze into the forefront of New York and even the whole of the United States, but in terms of influence, ......"

Old Huntelaar didn't say any more, but John understood what he meant.

In the 21st century, the multinational giants of the pharmaceutical industry are undoubtedly eye-catching star companies, not only because the products they produce are related to people's health, but also because pharmaceutical companies are often the most profitable industry groups in the world with the largest R&D investment. But at the end of the 19th century, not to mention the future pharmaceutical giants, either did not appear yet, or were still producing fuels or traditional medicines, the influence of the formal pharmaceutical industry alone was negligible, and even inferior to those scammers who sold fairy water and universal medicines. In this era of iron and fire, in addition to the financiers, the real influence is the steel, coal, railway, textile, military and other industries, and even Rockefeller is still a little behind.

Because of the advent of aspirin and sulfonamides, there was the first truly modern pharmaceutical company.

But after all, it has only just appeared for two or three years, and in terms of profitability, Heinz Pharmaceutical is enough to arouse the envy of all the rich, otherwise Morgan would not have put forward the idea of intervening early. But when it comes to influence, it's basically limited to the doctors and patients who use these drugs.

As for General Motors? That's not to mention.

Thirty years later, John is confident that GM will become one of the most famous companies in the world, but in this era of backward technology and low per capita income, the car can only be used as a luxury, as a means of transportation for a few, or as a show-off in front of the public. In this case, General Motors basically belongs to the same position as those jewelry and luxury goods companies, or people like Morgan can see the broad prospects of the future of automobiles, but most of them certainly do not have this vision.

So from this point of view, the old Huntelaar will value New York Power so much.

Thirty percent of the shares are enough to make the Huntelaar family the largest shareholder of the New York Electric Company, even more than Morgan himself, and in addition to being able to get close to these rich people, the old Huntelaar is also very optimistic about the prospects of electricity, and wants to occupy a position in this important industry. This can not only bring huge economic benefits to the Huntelaar family, but also other benefits.

For example, to be able to tie up with the Mr. Morgan in front of you......

Although surrounded by the crowd, when John and his grandfather approached the crowd, Morgan, who had been paying attention to the movements around him, immediately lit up, apologized to the people around him, and then hurried to greet him: "Haha, good morning, Mr. Huntelaar!" ”

"Good morning, Mr. Morgan."

After the two shook hands vigorously, Morgan's gaze quickly turned to John's direction and said with a smile: "Good morning, John." ”

"Good morning, Mr. Morgan."

John naturally didn't dare to slack off, and immediately smiled and stepped forward to shake the other party's hand.

Behind the three of them, except for the other shareholders who had known the grandfather and grandson for a long time, most of them immediately whispered. They were very curious about these two strange old and young, after all, with Morgan's current status, there was no need to be so enthusiastic about ordinary people......

"How's the hospital doing?"

After saying hello, Morgan patted John's shoulder very affectionately and asked with a smile: "One of my subordinates once went to your hospital to see a doctor, and what he said, your hospital is very different from other hospitals in New York City now!" ”

"Hehe, it's okay."

Shrugging his shoulders slightly, John said vaguely: "After all, it has only been open for a few months, and the number of patients is not very large......"

"Just call me when you need to."

Smiling slightly, Morgan looked at John and said meaningfully: "Actually, as far as I am concerned, I am still very interested in this new type of hospital, especially the ...... of those drugs produced by your pharmaceutical company" (to be continued......)
