Chapter 19: News from England

Naturally, Jack didn't know what was happening on the other side of the Atlantic.

After the rainproof car, that is, the enclosed car, was finalized, and the Cedric company was busy.

Since there was nothing important to deal with for the time being, Jack once again authorized Andy to handle the company's affairs, and stayed at home with Ruth.

Because he found that Ruth, who was pregnant, was like two people compared to before, and she would have trouble with him at any time for inexplicable reasons.

In this case, what else can he do as a man, he can only coax.

On this day, Ruth was making breakfast when the phone suddenly rang.

Ruth, who couldn't leave for the time being, shouted, "Jack, you go and answer the phone, I can't leave now." ”

"Okay." Jack came to the living room, picked up the microphone and put it to his ear, "Hello, I'm Jack Dawson." ”

"Hello, I'm John Sauls, the Commercial Representative of the British Embassy in the United States, is Miss Bookett here?"

"Wait a minute."

"Ruth, I'm looking for you when I answer the phone." After Jack put the microphone on the table, he went to the kitchen and gave Ruth a shout, and took Ruth's work.

"Hmm." Ruth turned to leave the kitchen and answered the phone.

"What did John Sauls do with Ruth?" Jack shook his head, puzzled, and after a moment, he was relieved, "Forget it, I'll ask her later." ”

"Hmmm......"

Jack, who was thinking about something else, suddenly smelled a burnt smell, and his eyes looked in the direction where the burnt smell came from, and the bottom of the bread that was baking in the electric oven was already baked.

Seeing this, he quickly turned the dough over with a bread tong, so that the side that was not yet fully cooked touched the warmer tray.

"This oven doesn't work well!" Jack sighed, "Can you design an oven that can automatically flip bread?" ”

Jack shook his head, he couldn't think of what to do for a while, but he kept it in his mind, planning to find time to set up another electrical company, and then hire engineers to invent it.

As long as it is invented, the European market will not be mentioned for the time being, and the United States, a huge market with a population of 90 million, will not know how much money it can earn for him.

Not to mention, Latin America, which is the backyard of the United States, has a population of nearly 70 million.

Just when Jack was thinking about setting up another electrical company, Ruth hung up the phone at some point, came to Jack's side, and said to Jack with a somewhat low expression: "Jack, I have something to tell you." ”

Coming back to his senses, Jack asked with concern, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"John Saulse has just told me that my father's creditors have approached my mother and asked her to pay back the money my father owes them, but my mother has not paid them back, and now those creditors have asked John Saulse to inform me that either I will pay off the money within a month, or I will authorize the auction of our estate in Gloucester, and then use it to pay off my father's debts."

"You are my wife now, I will pay these debts, don't worry."

Regarding the debt situation of the Bookett family, Jack heard Ruth talk about Lord Bookett when he was young, he was addicted to gambling, and people said that nine out of ten gambles were lost, and Lord Bookett was naturally no exception, and the Bookett family, which was originally quite wealthy, declined in the hands of Lord Bookett.

By the time Lord Bookett died last year, all of the Bookett family's estates, except for the Blatter Manor, had been lost by Lord Booker, and in addition to that, they owed nearly £5,000 (exchange rate: £1 = $4.76) in foreign debt.

According to Ruth, Bookett Manor carries the bits and pieces of her from childhood to adulthood since she was born.

Ruth didn't want to lose Bookett Manor, and Jack naturally knew it.

"Thank you!" After hearing Jack promise to help her solve this problem, Ruth is grateful, "If it weren't for you, I would have lost Bookett Manor." ”

"What's that?" Jack shook his head and said, "You contact your mom and tell her about our situation, and then tell her that I will send the money over and ask her to return it." ”

Speaking of this, Jack's heart moved, and said: "In addition, ask my mother if she would like to come to the United States to live with us, it just so happens that you are now pregnant, and you don't understand many problems during pregnancy, if she comes, she can also take care of you." ”

"I'll ask her." Hearing this, Ruth nodded excitedly, to be honest, she really wanted to see her mother for so long.

So, Ruth, who couldn't wait, immediately came to the hall, picked up the microphone and began to contact John Saoles.

"Hello, please help me transfer to the British Embassy in the United States."

Glancing at Ruth, who was contacting the British Embassy in the United States, Jack took the baked bread out of the oven and put it in a tray, then turned off the power and walked towards the dining room with the tray.

After a while, Ruth also came to the dining room, and while having breakfast with Jack, she said to Jack: "I contacted John Sauls, and he immediately sent a telegram back to England. ”

"Okay." Jack responded, then said, "After breakfast, I'll go to the office." ”

He had little money in his hands at the moment, and he had to go to the company to get the money if he was to pay off the nearly £5,000 owed by Lord Booker.

Seriously, he really didn't want to go to the company to get money.

Because, if he takes money from the company, when he declares individual income tax next year, he will have to pay a large amount of personal income tax for it!

Soon, Jack finished his breakfast and drove towards the company.

Driving outside the company, Jack first stood on a high place and glanced at the wasteland that had become a construction site in the distance, then smiled slightly, walked into the company to find Albert, and instructed: "Albert, count how much available funds our company has now, and come to the office to find me after the statistics." ”

"Okay, boss." Albert nodded and turned to leave.

After Albert went to run errands, Jack came to the office alone, picked up the data on his desk and looked at it.

If you count the nearly 700 Cedric II. in May, as of yesterday, the company has shipped more than 5,000 Cedric II., earning the company almost a million dollars in profits.

After Jack looked at the specific shipping profits, he knew that the industry was very profitable in this era, but he was still shocked!

"1025310 dollars!"

Just when Jack was shocked that the industry of this era was too profitable, Albert walked in and said to Jack: "Boss, in addition to the company's reserved development funds, the company now has $700,000 to use." ”

After hearing this, Jack nodded, and then ordered: "Help me transfer $300,000 to my account in the name of shareholder dividends." ”

In an instant, Jack distributed the $300,000 that was about to be transferred to his account.

Of that amount, he planned to remit $30,000 to Mrs. Bookett so that she could use it to pay off her debts, and the rest would be used for her living expenses and travel to the United States.

As for the remaining $270,000, he plans to use $100,000 to set up an electrical appliance company that he thinks of at home to develop an electric oven that can automatically flip bread.

In addition, the newspaper industry that he has in mind can also be invested!
