  Chapter 67 Children

   "What? You're going to Europe? Are you crazy? That's a battlefield! A battlefield!" During dinner, as soon as Josie mentioned this matter, Margot strongly objected.

   "Margo, I'm just using the condolence team to do some small business, and I'm not going to the front to fight a war. There is no danger!" Seeing Margot's reaction so intensely, Josie persuaded with some helplessness.

   "The current situation in Europe is in ruins. What money is there to make? Or is our family short of that money?" Margot said that she couldn't understand Josie's thoughts.

   Not everyone has a keen eye to see the countless business opportunities buried under the ruins of the European battlefield.

  In Margot’s opinion, according to the past newspaper reports about the devastation of life in Europe, the people there are poorly clothed and hungry, so what money can they have? Even if there is money, it is all in the hands of the nobles and the royal family. Even their government's money is probably almost earned by the Federation.

"Margot, to a certain extent, we are indeed short of that little money! Because it is not really only "a little" money, but a lot of money." Josie was not in a hurry, but explained very patiently : "As the source of modern civilization, in the past few hundred years, Europe has plundered almost a huge amount of wealth from all over the world. , My trip to Europe is enough to double our assets by more than ten times!"

   Assets more than tenfold?

  Margot couldn't help but startled when she heard the words.

  How much assets do she and Josie have on the surface? Among other things, only Josie's sugar factory, in the case of continuous orders from the military, in the past year, its assets have reached nearly tens of millions.

  In addition to the bonds Josie bought, himself, and the assets they just bought in Florida, Chicago, and Los Angeles, there are tens of millions.

  So even if you don't count what she knows, but never ask about Josie's private business, the assets of the two are more than 20 million.

  Ten times? Isn't that more than 200 million?

  What is that concept?

  Before World War II, billionaires in the United States were still very rare. They were basically gathered in the eight major conglomerates such as Morgan and Rockefeller, and the number was very small.

   That is, relying on the dividends of World War II, all kinds of billionaires have sprung up one by one.

  So 200 million US dollars is indeed a very shocking value in this era.

  Even Margot, who has lived a good life since she was a child and has no worries about food and clothing, has to be moved by it.

As for whether Josie has the ability to make money, Margot is not too worried. After all, at this time last year, their assets were only six to seven million, and now they have tripled in just one year, which is enough to prove that The strength of this little man.

  So she hesitated, wondering if she should continue to stop Josie.

   "Margot, I will go this time, at most half a year, for our future, it's worth it, isn't it?" Josie said softly, embracing Margot from behind.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you can't go to places that are too dangerous, and take more people there. You can make more money if you run out of money, but people must come back safely." Margot turned and hugged Josie , said in a low voice.

"Of course, I will bring Vito and Brook with them. They are quite familiar with Europe, and there will be no danger. I am not going to fight, and I will not go to those dangerous places." Josie also hugged The woman in her arms whispered comfortingly.

   But what Margot said next shocked him to the core.

   "Josie, I'm pregnant!" After hugging for a long time, Margot suddenly said faintly.

   "What? When did it happen?" Josie held Margot's shoulders and asked, looking at her in surprise.

"Before we came to Los Angeles, I felt sick one day, so I made an appointment with the doctor. The doctor said that I might be pregnant, and then I did an A-Z test. I received a call from the doctor at home this morning to confirm... What? Are you upset? " Margot blushed slightly, looked at Josie and asked.

  The real modern pregnancy test only appeared after the 1960s.

  The pregnancy test method used in the 1930s was still a biological assay called AZ-test. Although this test method is reliable, it takes a long time, is complicated to operate, and is quite expensive.

  So it’s really normal to get notified after coming to Los Angeles for almost a week.

   "No, no, no, how could I be unhappy, it's just...too unexpected, too pleasantly surprised!" Josie was a little at a loss.

  It is true that I am at a loss. Although I had a good life in my previous life, it is true that I am still in my thirties and I am not married yet.

  So to become a father for the first time in two lives, the mood is naturally very complicated, of course, the main thing is surprise.

  However, Josie was not unprepared for Margot's pregnancy.

  Although modern hard hats have been available since the 1920s and became popular in the 1930s, Josie and Margot have never used them.

   There is no family planning in the United States, and others use it because they are afraid that they will not be able to afford it. Josie and Margot's family did not have such worries.

   And the two have been together for a year, and Margot is only pregnant now, which is actually too late.

  Seeing Josie's childlike expression of being unable to control herself, Margot couldn't help laughing, and then her face turned redder.

  Because she suddenly remembered, it seems that Josie is not yet 17 years old.

   This product was born in August 1928, and now it is April 1944.

   So in a way, this guy is still a kid.

   As a result, he is going to be a father now.

  Of course, this kind of thing is really not a big deal in this era.

  Even in the 21st century, the age of majority in many European countries is still 16.

  And in the United Kingdom and the United States, in the case of independent income, 16 years old is equivalent to adulthood.

   "Look at you, the doctor said, now it's only two months at most, when you come back from Europe, you can just see the baby born." Margot said, stroking Josie's cheek.

   "Why are you going to Europe? I can't stay at home with you and the child!" Josie said immediately. He couldn't care about business at this time, and now his mind is full of being a father.

"Okay, there is no need for that. Didn't you say that going to Europe is for our future. I also hope that when our child is born, there will be a billionaire father. As for the family, Francesca They're here, there won't be any problem!" Margot smiled slightly when she heard Josie's hotheaded words, and persuaded her instead.

"You're right, I have to earn a big fortune for our child, and prepare a big gift for him when he's born." Josie frowned when she heard this, and nodded after a while At the same time, he rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me, how about I buy Neuschwanstein Castle as a birthday present for our children?"

  Although they are not in the same world, the time when the war ends probably won't be much different.

   At any other time, it is almost impossible to get the dream castle of Neuschwanstein Castle.

  But if it was just after the end of World War II, coupled with Josie's Austrian identity, it would be very feasible to get this castle... This castle is on the border between the two countries, only a few kilometers away from Austria.

  Although the area belonged to the French-occupied area at the end of World War II, it was actually the Americans who had the final say.

  Josie only needs to have a lot of PY with the military in the next time, as a victim of the war, from Bavaria, what's the matter?

   It's just that it must be late at that time, and it won't be in time for the birth of the child and the full moon, but it is completely acceptable as a first-year gift.

  When the time comes, a boy will be a little prince, and a daughter will be a little princess, the kind with a castle.

   I feel happy just thinking about it.

  Not to mention the children, even Margot has been completely attracted by Josie's picture.

  Disney was established in the 1920s. Although the period was a little bumpy, it is still a big company. Therefore, the name of Neuschwanstein Castle has also begun to spread in the United States with the rise of Disney.

  Margot naturally knew about this castle.

Then…

   "No, I want Neuschwanstein Castle, you have to find another way for the child's first birthday gift!" Margot ran back to the room after saying this, leaving behind a dumbfounded Josie.

  This woman, why did she even want to rob the unborn child?
