Chapter 43 1901

When the New Year of 1901 arrived, John? The prestige of the name Huntelaar has finally reached its peak all over the world!

"Ironic, isn't it?"

Waving his hand to let the middle-aged white man in front of him sit down, John smiled faintly and said: "The British know that the whole world is against them, and they should have even found out the relationship between our bank and the South African batch of arms, but they can only swallow this bitter water into their stomachs, and even thank my theory for saving countless British soldiers......"

"As you say, the British are too greedy. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Owing a debt, the middle-aged white man replied respectfully: "Especially this Boer War, which almost put the whole world on their side, so even if we are really found, there is nothing to be done." ”

Of course, he understood what his boss meant, because as a person concerned, he knew best that the British had never given up the pursuit of the sudden appearance of a large number of weapons and lost gold in South Africa, and if it weren't for his rich experience and clearing the way, maybe the British would have really been caught. However, middle-aged whites can also feel that the British should have faintly sensed something, but as John said, the whole of Europe is actually bailing out South Africa, and the Huntelaar Bank is just preparing earlier and making more money. So even if they perceive something, the British can only knock out their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs, and on the surface, they will make a statement to thank John of New York? Mr. Huntelaar.

Yes, they have the same thanks to John as the US government? Huntelaar!

In the Spanish-American War, the doctors sent by the Department of Infectious Diseases of Huntelaar General Hospital played a vital role, and their measures such as mosquito control and disinfection greatly reduced the mortality rate of the American army...... Or the colonizers of the world! As a result, all countries with overseas colonies have taken the theory of infectious diseases of the Huntelaar Medical School more seriously than ever.

By the time of the Boer War, Heinz surgical debridement had once again saved a large number of British soldiers.

There is no doubt that war, especially large-scale warfare, is the real catalyst for the development of surgery, and in this era of very little investment in medical research, it is difficult for these technologies to be developed rapidly in peacetime, but in times of large-scale war, the large number of casualties of soldiers will force those in power to pay attention to these practical technologies. Therefore, during World War I, surgical debridement and special disinfectant appeared, and penicillin in World War II could be compared to gold! Although the surgical debridement proposed by John a few years ago was very successful and attracted the attention of many surgeons, it was not really popularized for various reasons. But with the beginning of mass use in the Spanish-American War, and then in the Boer War, allowing wounded soldiers one after another to avoid the end of infection, the technique began to gain real fame! Of course, along with surgical debridement, there was also a disinfectant produced by John Heinz Pharmaceutical Company and British collaborators, which also made a lot of money during the war......

"All the funds have already come back, right?"

The smile faded from his face, and John asked in a deep voice.

"It's back, sir."

After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged white man immediately replied respectfully: "Together with the principal, it has been returned to our secret accounts in several banks, and the amount is very large......

Hearing this, John waved his hand and interrupted the other party: "Okay, I'll read the text report for the specific figures, so I don't need to say more here." According to the original agreement, you will put forward 20% of the profit as a reward for the participants during this time, don't delay, and distribute it as soon as possible! ”

"Uh......"

After hearing this, the middle-aged white man hesitated for a moment, and said cautiously: "Sir, although it was agreed that 20% of the profit would be used as a reward, but ...... The benefits this time are simply too huge. In addition to the arms business in South Africa, we also took the opportunity to speculate in British securities and gold, etc., if as originally agreed......"

Before the middle-aged white man could finish speaking, John already understood what he meant.

But after a little consideration, John immediately frowned and said, "I understand what you mean, but since I have said that good things will definitely be fulfilled, this is my personal principle!" Twenty percent of the profit as a reward, I hope that within a month all the people involved can get their own share, a fair and reasonable share, understand? ”

"Understood, sir."

Lowering his head slightly, the middle-aged white man didn't say anything more.

After a moment of silence, John continued: "The principal and the corresponding interest shall be returned to the Huntelaar Bank as soon as possible...... It doesn't matter if it's slow, but it's safe. ”

This time, unlike the previous two times, the international influence of both sides of the Sino-Japanese war was very small, and the Spanish-American War invested in the victory of the Americans, so the Huntelaar Bank directly intervened without scruples. But this time the opposite side is the British, the world boss whose hegemony can last for at least forty years, and I am afraid that no one will dare to fight them head-on except William II.

"Don't worry, sir."

While nodding, the middle-aged white man looked confident. After a few speculations, the middle-aged white man is not the same as he was when he first started, and his experience is getting more and more confident.

Nodding with satisfaction, John hesitated for a moment before then said, "As for the rest of the profits...... It is divided into three equal parts, two of which are deposited into two accounts: the account of Huntelaar University and my private account, and the other one is still under your control, and I will continue to buy the antiques of the Qing Kingdom in the Far East, especially those stolen by the Eight-Nation Alliance! Remember, I want valuable antiques, preferably ancient books, paintings, calligraphy and porcelain, jewelry, jade and the like. ”

"Yes, sir."

Although there was a puzzled look on his face, the middle-aged white man did not question anything this time.

Although the British were trapped in South Africa, the British forces with the main force of Indians, the support of the Germans, the Japanese, and the Russians, and of course the Americans, combined with the participation of the Americans, captured the city of Beijing. Because of John's covert support, the Russians and Japanese in the coalition suffered heavy losses, but the final result could not be changed.

Middle-aged whites, who are prepared in advance, certainly make a windfall in the war.

He has never made money selling weapons to Chinese, but during the three months that he took advantage of the Chinese to stop the coalition forces, the middle-aged white man did two things, one was to buy a large number of fine antiques, and the other was to pit those Manchu nobles...... Then, on the day when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army invaded Beijing, a team of more than 300 people formed a team to attack several key departments, snatched a large amount of gold and silver in advance, and hid it along with many antiques.

The seemingly impossible task was accomplished with careful preparation!

And then ......

The gold and silver obtained and robbed by the pit man were all exchanged for antiques in just one month!

In addition to the Japanese soldiers because they love Chinese culture and know the value of those antiques, so they are unwilling to exchange, the soldiers of the other seven European countries do not understand these, most of them use the antiques in their hands to exchange for money, and they are at a very low price, many of which are peerless treasures, such as Tang Ben's "Female History Map", "Luo Shen Map", "Concubine Bathing Picture" and so on, all of which were bought by middle-aged white people at a price of dozens of pounds!

When John got the first list of artifacts, his whole jaw almost dropped!

Not only is the quantity huge, but even the quality is far beyond John's expectations. But if you think about it, you can understand that although the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing and looted a large number of precious cultural relics, most of them did not understand the value of these antiques. So later, the soldiers sold it to others at a low price, and now someone is buying it in the city of Beijing, and the price given is not low, so why not sell it? The only pity is that the Japanese are "incomprehensible", almost no one is willing to sell to John's men, and they have stolen a considerable proportion of the cultural relics......

Two months after the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, a luxury cruise ship set sail from the port of Tianjin to New York City in North America.

On this cruise ship, which was supposed to accommodate hundreds of passengers, in addition to the necessary crew, there were only antique experts recruited from the Chinese line of fire to take care of the tens of thousands of precious antiques on board...... (To be continued.) )
