"Sir, are you qualified to practice medicine? I mean the kind that European countries recognize. ”

"Of course not, in fact I am an industrialist, this drug was only obtained by chance, it has a miraculous effect on bacterial infections, but due to a laboratory accident, the researchers were killed, and there was no formula left, only a few injections in my hands, I have personally tested it, it has a special effect on diphtheria, scarlet fever and other bacterial infections." I'm not sure I'm sure I'm going to convince the two of them, "Actually, as this gentleman said, this lady's illness in the Far East is incurable, and I think it's hard for her to refuse God's call in this state, isn't it?" "I also mean a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but poor English obviously doesn't have such a connotative idiom, so I have to say it vaguely.

"Are you sure you'll be cured?" The young white man was desperate and didn't want to give up on my huge straw now.

"Can you be sure of keeping her alive for more than 3 days?" I asked him rhetorically.

"Kind sir, can you tell me your name" The old butler is more sophisticated after all, and wants to find out my bottom.

"I'm a businessman from Jinan Province" I led the way to the old butler, who knew that this was equivalent to a protective * license, which could prove my identity. "You can call me by my English name, Sean."

"Okay, Mr. Sean. I'm sure what you're saying is true, and if possible, please save my wife. "The young white man has taken my word for it, in fact he has no choice" My name is Alfred. ”

"Germans?" I was curious to ask, in fact this is not a common British name.

"It's German-British," the white man explained.

"Well, I think we should find a comfortable place, and the lady needs a clean, cool and ventilated place."

"Of course, be my carriage and go to the hotel, where the conditions are better than the clinic."

"Fourth brother, I have to trouble you" I said to the fourth brother, "My medical bag is in my suitcase, please go back and bring it to me, okay?"

"I didn't say it, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter. But I said, brother, are you sure, I don't think this foreign girl is sick, it's not light," Fourth Brother Miao is still very worried about me.

"Don't worry," I said with confidence, in fact, the bacteria are still very vegetable these years, and it is a bit of an anti-aircraft gun to fight mosquitoes with cephalosporin.

There is nothing to say all the way, but the message conveyed by the old housekeeper in the small talk is more intriguing, Britain and Germany are not too harmonious, so they can't be too presumptuous in Qingdao, if they go to the Yangtze River Basin, it is their world, it seems that their identity is probably not as simple as a businessman or a tourist. I understood that the old butler was reminding me that if I was a liar, the consequences would not be very good.

Sure enough, it was in the most upscale Madier Hotel in Qingdao, they chartered two suites, and the old housekeeper accompanied Miao Sige with a carriage quickly picked up the luggage from the inn where we stayed. The novelty of the trolley suitcase made the two white men curious, but they didn't care about the details, after all, the lady was still struggling on the death line.

Take out the pen tube syringe, they have never seen this kind of plastic product, but I disinfected it with spray and put the pen tube directly on the vein, and when I pressed the switch, a needle of transparent liquid instantly entered the vein, and I couldn't even see the eye of the needle when I pulled out the pen tube. They were very curious, and I didn't explain, but the cryogenic preservation of the medicine box still surprised them, after all, a small box was neatly arranged four or five injections, more than a dozen bottles of medicines, black sponge liners, each medicine was equipped with metal buckles, and the outside of the open medicine box was aluminum alloy, and there was a trace of cold air coming out of the inside, which was enough for a person at the end of the nineteenth century. In fact, I caught a glimpse of the old butler already secretly drawing the cross.

The cephalosporin X series is not comparable to the medicines of this era, and in just half an hour, the lady's face turned pink, her breathing was very smooth, and the fever subsided early. Alfred did not understand medicine, but he understood that his wife was out of danger. "God bless, thank you for your miraculous healing skills, I don't know how to express your gratitude to the Montague family."

"God forbid, I think God can't bear to see such a beautiful lady leave her husband prematurely. I am simply following the will of God and his old man, and there is really no need for Mr. Alfred to be so thankful to a mortal. But I have a small request, can you please keep this medicine a secret? I don't want to be targeted by some greedy guy when I can't afford to produce," and I also had to use the arrogant humility that the British are accustomed to.

"Of course, I'm happy to keep it a secret for you. Thank God, you are God's angel in my eyes, and your noble deeds and miraculous healing skills are worthy of any sincere thanks. Alfred was very excited, and gestured to the butler. The butler pulled out the checkbook, and Alfred sat down at the desk by the window, signing his fancy signature with the pen on the table.

I took the cheque and said, "Five thousand pounds, that's a generous thank you." I smiled calmly. However, Miao Hainan was so shocked that his chin smashed on the surface of his feet, and he muttered vigorously, "One tael of customs silver for three British shillings, one pound is equal to twenty shillings, one pound for six taels or seven dollars, and the five thousand pounds for treasury silver is thirty-five thousand taels, my grandfather." ”

"Mr. Alfred, if I think that the life of a young lady from the Rothschilds should be worth more money, you will have no objection." My soft words were like a big bell ringing in the ears of two people. I even saw that the old butler was approaching the chest of drawers, and I was sure that there must have been a loaded pistol in the drawer.

"Oh, oh, don't panic, gentlemen, let's try to solve this problem in a gentlemanly way, shall we?" I unbuttoned my riding coat and leaked out the handle of the Glock pistol in the armpit holster, believing that they would not misunderstand what I meant. The old butler's face was very exciting, but he still gave up his plan to take the gun.

"I would say that five thousand pounds is actually enough to show your appreciation, and I am not unhappy with it." Alfred and the old butler looked at each other, not understanding what I meant. "I just want to be thankful in a different way, I'm investing in the industry and my family in South America is obviously having some trouble and not providing my share capital in time, I think if you're willing to invest, I'd like you to give you £10,000 as start-up capital, and I'm promising to not only pay you back £10,000 in a year, but at least £5,000 in benefits, and then you can choose whether to invest no more than £15,000 in the shares, or take the money." I made it clear, and Alfred pondered.

The old butler spoke first: "Dear sir, first of all, I ask you to forgive some overreaction from an old servant who has served the Montagu family for more than forty years. I smiled and nodded, "Besides, would you like to clear a little doubt about an old man?" ”

"Is that what you mean?" I pointed to a lady's parasol against the wall, and a Rothschild coat of arms with a lion and a wildebeest gilded on the handle. The old butler covered his forehead with a clear look. Since I know the Rothschild coat of arms, I must know the position of the Rothschilds, and if I tell how Alfred put the life of his wife, surnamed Rothschild, at risk, I wonder how the Montague family coped with the wrath of the Rothschilds.

"Dear Sir" Alfred already understood his situation, "Shall we have dinner together, I am very interested in your business and yourself." ”

"I don't think it's a problem, my friend and I are honored to accept your invitation." We said goodbye for the time being, but we didn't go back to the inn, the bar on the second floor of the Madil Hotel was very quiet, after all, it was not until the evening rush hour, where Miao Hainan and I sat and drank coffee. "What kind of medicine is this, how bitter." Miao Hainan took a sip of coffee and asked with a bitter face, "What kind of disease is cured, how can it be sold here?" ”

"Fourth brother, this is coffee, which is mainly used to treat drowsiness and malaise, and it can be used to kill time." I replied absent-mindedly

"Brother, it was really suspenseful just now" Fourth Brother Miao still had a little palpitations, "God, it's not uncommon for you to come back from overseas, and you can speak foreign languages, but how did you come to be a doctor, don't tell me that your ancestors practiced medicine." Hey, don't say it, it's really godly, why did that white girl come back to life? ”

"Fourth brother, it's nothing, I will treat her disease as a younger brother, it's my medicine that is magical, and I don't know how to heal myself. Don't talk about this, fourth brother, did you bring a sample?"

"I just asked a driver to pick it up, and I should be back in a moment."

Alfred and the housekeeper looked at the samples placed in the living room with wide eyes, and Fourth Brother Miao was happy, "I didn't expect foreigners to have foreign appearances, it seems that I was wrong, brother, your products are not half of the city, I'm afraid even the West can be shocked together." ”

"Excuse me, Dear Mr. Sean, are you and your partner from Jinan Mansion, Shandong?" Alfred's words, it's the turn of the two of us to look at each other, we haven't mentioned this stubble, is it possible that foreigners can pinch each other?

"Haha" Seeing our appearance, Alfred and the housekeeper laughed regardless of their image, too, since they met, they were led by the nose by a Qing countryman, so they had a chance to take revenge, and both of them felt extremely happy.

"Mr. Sean, do you know the purpose of our trip?"

I shook my head, and said to myself where I could guess.

"If Elizabeth hadn't come to Qingdao and fell ill, maybe we would have visited you in Jinan Mansion a few days ago. Our consulate in Shanghai saw the samples you sent to Shanghai, and a Mr. Miao told us that the products are produced in Jinan Province, and we are going to visit the manufacturer in Jinan Province to discuss the issue of bulk export orders. That means we almost missed the chance to get to know each other, but God helped us find each other, didn't he? Alfred explained, and Fourth Brother Miao and I understood the whole story.

"But please forgive us for not agreeing to your conditions." When Fourth Brother Miao and I just thought that things were going to be right, the old housekeeper's words made things turbulent.
