"Mr. Huntelaar, don't you really want to participate?"

After Mr. Scolari had left disappointed, Professor Sloane asked in a low voice, frowning.

"Of course, I'm not interested."

Without hesitation, John shook his head solemnly.

Joining the Physicians' Association to gain prestige or something, John has never been interested. At least in this day and age, our Mr. Huntelaar has little interest, on the one hand, because of the backwardness of transportation and communication in those years, and the very loose organization of the association, which at most organizes one or two meetings a year, which is of little significance to John, who can now use papers and books to make a reputation; On the other hand, there was a lot of strife in this kind of organization, and John didn't have the time to get involved.

And......

"My other remark was not a joke."

After a brief pause, John added with a smile.

"Huh?"

He blinked in confusion, then Professor Sloan immediately understood what John meant, and then frowned and fell into deep thought.

"I think that's a good idea."

After a moment of silence, Thomas suddenly spoke: "There should be hundreds of surgeons in Manhattan now, and if you add the whole of New York, it will be even more, and it is completely possible to organize a formal association of surgeons!" And compared to other associations that seem to be very large, although we are small, it is easier to organize, and we will be more closely connected in the future! ”

"Haha, that's right!"

Either not to participate. Or just organize one yourself.

For example, Manhattan or New York City, where the Heinz School of Medicine and General Hospital is located, is and will continue to be the economic center of the United States. At the same time, it was the place where John had his beginnings, and it was only fitting that he could organize an association of surgeons under his control. You know, although New York has not yet merged with Brooklyn and other areas, and its population is only about one million, it is already a megacity for the world at the end of the 19th century. Even a few hundred surgeons are enough for John today.

Turning his head to look at Professor Sloane, John smiled and groaned, "Professor Sloan." Would you be interested in working with us to form this association of surgeons? ”

"This ......"

Hearing this, Professor Sloane's eyes flickered frequently.

If there has been any significant change in Columbia Medical School in recent years, it is in addition to the formal merger with the future Columbia University and now Columbia College. I'm afraid it's a collaboration with this Mr. Huntelaar. From the very beginning of seeing the most advanced and standardized appendectomy in the operating room of Heinz General Hospital, the Department of Surgery at Columbia Medical College has become a faithful follower of the Heinz series of surgical theories, from the basic system of surgery to the decoration of wards and surgeries, from surgical sterilization to local anesthesia. From basic operating techniques to appendectomy criteria. It's almost a complete copy, it's like a branch of the Department of Surgery at Heinz General Hospital!

So Sloane, who had just taken over as a professor of surgery, deeply appreciated the influence of the name Huntelaar!

For now, John? The name Huntelaar is truly unmatched among New York surgeons.

Nowadays, American medicine or medical education is relatively backward, even if many doctors have begun to try in the field of surgery, but it is really not easy to find one that can be compared to John in terms of prestige. Perhaps Halstead is a better candidate in the future, but he is far from enough now, and people have accepted Hopkins' offer. Leave Baltimore.

So after hearing John's proposal today, Sloan's heart moved.

Just think about it. If Mr. Huntelaar were to organize this so-called association of surgeons, he would have to play a leading role in it. Whether it's his personal prestige, accomplishments, or the strength of the hospital he relies on, John is the best of the best, and Sloan never doubts that.

The point is, what benefits do they get?

Looking at Professor Sloan, who was lost in thought, John was not in a hurry. He knew that this was just a preliminary idea at the moment, and that it would be very difficult to organize surgeons from all over Manhattan and all of New York to get them to accept his ideas and ideas, so he had to take his time......

……

This August, New York City was exceptionally hot.

The economic crisis is still ongoing, and it seems that every week you can hear the sound of banks and other companies failing. But at the same time, there are also many companies that have taken advantage of the crisis to grow and become the center of attention: such as the Morgan consortium, which has used the power of capital to grow rapidly, and Motorola and New York Power, which have used the power of technology to grow rapidly.

The advent of the electric age is already irreversible.

This can be easily seen in the rise in the stock of the New York Electric Company, which rose by 50 percent in less than a month, and directly pushed the stock price to more than two dollars in less than a month. In Morgan's plan, the New York Power Company will gradually lower the price of electricity, and at the same time develop more machines that use electricity, and monopolize an industry is what he is best at.

As for Motorola's radio products, they were sought after all over the world after being officially commercialized, and the first wave of orders was quickly divided between the armies and navies of various countries, and the existing production capacity was arranged until the end of 1891, while other businessmen and factory owners who were interested in radio could only helplessly urge Motorola to increase production capacity, or simply sell production rights.

After careful consideration, the elder Huntlaar made a two-pronged approach.

On the one hand, the expansion of the Motorola plant was immediately launched, and the source of the funds was the advance payment from the sale of the radios. On the other hand, plans to establish subsidiaries in the UK, France and Germany are also on the agenda. As with other family businesses, they don't have to worry about competitors in a short period of time, so all they have to do is to make money desperately.

At the same time, the rest of the family's business was hardly affected by the economic crisis.

Although the economic crisis has had a great impact, the desire of the rich to consume does not seem to have decreased, and Aurora cars are still produced and sold at once, and the supply exceeds demand. In addition to the production of automobiles, General Motors Europe has also invested in a new plant dedicated to the production of internal combustion engines, and has begun to supply state-of-the-art internal combustion engine products. The product brand of the daily necessities company has gradually been established among the high-end consumers, and even the elevator company that has been half-dead, with more and more high-end hotels installing this "tall" equipment, there is also a trend of salted fish turning over......

The characteristics of the Second Industrial Revolution are best reflected in the Huntelaar family's industry.

Unlike the last time when the Industrial Revolution was more driven by craftsmen, this time the power of science began to take hold, and thanks to John's foresight, he was not only ahead of the curve in electricity, internal combustion engines, and radio communications, but also in the high-return industries of the future, such as automobiles and pharmaceuticals!

Merely......

John, who caused all this? Mr. Huntelaar didn't care at all, or he just chose a few lucrative deals from his memory, when in fact most of his energy was now focused on the medical school that was about to begin...... (To be continued.) )
