"Jingle Bell ......"

"This is the Huntelaar family, who are you?"

……

"Yes sir, I'll write Mr. Huntelaar right away."

After putting down the phone in his hand, Hans immediately walked into the dining room and whispered to John, who was eating lunch, "Sir, the phone on the other side of the dock, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Ehrlich have arrived!" ”

"Oh? Today? ”

John, who was enjoying lunch, was overjoyed and immediately put down his knife and fork and prepared to stand up.

"Eat first!"

At this time, the old Huntelaar next to him frowned, knocked on his plate lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Haven't you already arranged for someone to be in charge of the reception at the dock?" What's the hurry? Eat first, and it's never too late to meet them after eating! ”

"Yes."

Although he was a little disapproving, John didn't want to disdain his grandfather because of such a trivial matter, so he immediately honestly picked up the knife and fork again and started eating. It's just that after hearing the news, he couldn't be as leisurely as he was just now, and he was obviously a little absent-minded when eating.

Counting the time, it's already mid-August.

After a visit to the hospital, John stopped paying attention to the place he valued most. John was very satisfied with the work of the Steve family, and the fact that Newton Power Company was about to enter to lay the power lines and that there must have been a commotion in the hospital made John stay away. In the following period, in addition to catching up with old friends from time to time, John's main focus was on assisting his grandfather in handling several factories. Although the factory has been built, it is still very heavy work to recruit management and enough workers, including the research at Tesla, John has to go over from time to time to take a look, and the daily time is quite fulfilling.

Mid-July 1887. After a long journey, Paul arrived in New York with fourteen physicians.

Of the fourteen physicians, twelve were Americans studying in Germany, with an average age of only about twenty-five or sixteen, but two younger Germans came to New York with John. Somewhat unexpectedly. Thomas was not included in the first group to return, and Paul meant that the boy had stayed in London, waiting for the second group of physicians to return.

Just a dozen days ago, John received a telegram from the departure of the second group.

The second group consisted of only six people, but there were many more people traveling with them. In addition to Ehrlich and the other thirteen people, there are also technicians from pharmaceutical companies and medical device companies sent to North America, who will help John build all three factories. Of course, the reason why the workers were willing to leave home and come to New York was partly because of the orders of their bosses. On the other hand, because John doubled his salary, everyone didn't care about coming to North America for half a year to a year, anyway, he would definitely return to Europe after the factory was on track......

Unlike the first group, the second group set off on a specially chartered freighter.

On that freighter, there was a qiē that John had ordered in Europe: a complete set of equipment for a medical device factory and a pharmaceutical factory, various equipment and a large quantity of drugs for the hospital, as well as the instruments and consumables needed for Ehrlich's research......

……

"It's been a hard work."

In the rented apartment, John said gratefully after hugging Thomas and Ehrlich.

If only to give up a comfortable cruise. If you choose to come to New York by freighter, it is not a big deal. But don't forget, since John left Europe, all the procurement has been carried out by these two people, and both of them must have been exhausted for the past two or three months. After a brief glance, John found that Thomas's appearance was not obvious, but Ehrlich had lost a lot of weight up and down!

For the sake of this freighter and what is on it. John paid nearly $300,000 in cash!

At the end of the 19th century, $300,000 was undoubtedly such a huge amount that Thomas and Ehrlich were both terrified along the way, fearing what would happen to the freighter at sea. Fortunately, when the freighter arrived in New York Harbor. A shipload of goods was quickly sent to where it was supposed to be by the prepared porters: the factory equipment was sent to the old Huntelaar's built building, and the rest was temporarily stored in the warehouse rented by John Zài—many of which would not be unsealed until the hospital was renovated.

"Sir, this is our duty!"

Blinking, Ehrlich said very seriously.

Like many Germans, Ehrlich had a very strong mindset that he had to do his job with due diligence. Since he had promised John to become the head of his subordinate research institute, he would naturally take care of the instruments and equipment assigned to him, so the hard work along the way was naturally nothing. However, although Thomas has lived in Germany for nearly ten years, he is still obviously a Yankee, grinning and unceremoniously accepting John's praise.

After everyone exchanged pleasantries, John turned his head to look at the surrounding environment, and asked with a smile: "You two, are you still satisfied with the living environment?" ”

"Satisfied, very satisfied!"

This time, even Thomas couldn't deny it, he simply nodded, and the smile on his face would immediately understand anyone who saw it, and he was very satisfied with John's arrangement.

When these people arrived in New York, John had already prepared a place to stay.

The workers lived in ordinary apartments that John rented next to the factory, but researchers like Ehrlich and doctors like Thomas couldn't afford to be so lazy. John, who had already made up his mind to keep them in New York, directly rented several small single-family buildings near the hospital, especially Ehrlich, who had one to himself with his family!

This kind of treatment fully reflects John's sincerity.

And......

After a pause, John squinted and smiled: "Let's live for the time being, I have bought a large piece of land near the hospital and am going to build several apartment buildings, so that everyone can live in it at that time...... And it's very close to the hospital, so it's easy to get to work when the time comes! ”

"What?!"

After hearing this, Ehrlich and Thomas opened their mouths at the same time!

They all know that John is very rich, after all, it is impossible for any doctor to ignore the popularity of Heinz Pharmaceuticals, and they also know that John is very generous, otherwise there would not be so many people who would follow him to New York, but the two of them never imagined that this guy would be so generous that he would build a few buildings for everyone!

Even an ordinary apartment building would cost tens of thousands of dollars, right?

Looking at the two generals with surprised expressions and at the same time mixed with moving expressions, John was extremely satisfied. The plan to build several apartment buildings for his employees had been in place for a long time, and he would have to invest more than $100,000 in them, but in John's opinion, the qiē was certainly worth it. Not to mention the impact of letting everyone live near the hospital on his work, just winning people's hearts is enough for him to come up with this money.

You know, even Thomas, who is originally American, is not from New York!

Moreover, providing them with a comfortable and convenient living environment, in addition to enhancing their sense of belonging, can also greatly improve work efficiency, not to mention the investment of more than 100,000 US dollars, as long as the research team led by Ehrlich can keep up with John's pace as soon as possible, and "develop" a new drug at will, it will all be earned......

"Sir, this qiē is too generous!"

After taking a deep breath, Ehrlich's eyes flashed and he said, "This makes me more and more eager to see where I will work in the future!" ”

"Yes, yes, I want to go to the hospital as much as possible!"

After listening to Ehrlich's words, Thomas's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say it loudly.

They also all knew that John's hospital had been completed, but it was just undergoing final renovations, and the two of them, who had already been impressed by the blueprint drawn by John, were naturally extremely anxious at this time.

But after a short silence, John shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no, you two, what you need now is plenty of rest to relieve the fatigue caused by the long journey!" As for the hospital, it's the same if we go back in a few days. ”

John paused at this point, and then smiled: "Believe me, you will be more satisfied when you get there...... (To be continued......)
