London, April 1892.

"Boom ......"

It was like the cannon of dozens of ironclad ships roaring together, and the entire stadium shook with it, and people stomped their feet, sang songs, and shouted a name in unison: "Scalpel!" Scalpel! Scalpel ......"

"Haha......"

Laughing, Liszt slammed into John? Huntelaar hugged each other and slapped him the back and shouted, "Champion! We are the champions! It was like a dream, it was amazing......"

"Congratulations, Professor!"

While secretly taking a cool breath, John loudly congratulated the somewhat crazy Professor Liszt, and at the same time became excited.

John didn't expect to arrive in the UK just in time for the Scalpel Club to win this year's FA Cup!

Four years after its establishment, the Scalpel Club has already won the third league title last year, and this year it has won the FA Cup, which is more highly regarded by the British pound, and has become a powerhouse in English football through and through! This was something John could never have imagined when he first invested in the club. Of course, this is also because the football league is too rudimentary today, and the financial strength of the scalpel club is the strongest, so it is not surprising that there is such a performance.

"This feeling is really refreshing!"

With the sixty-five-year-old Liszt chanting like a true fan, John almost felt like a football fan, and a die-hard scalpel fan of the club. In his previous life, he had no love for football. John had never experienced the joy of watching a game, and he did not expect that more than 100 years later, he would experience the feeling of burning passion from this humble stadium.

"Thank you. Mr. Huntelaar! ”

After letting go of John, Liszt exclaimed, "Without your generous support, I think the Scalpel Club would not have been able to even be founded, let alone win the FA Cup...... The surgeons in the UK will be forever grateful to you! ”

"Haha, thank you for the compliment."

After hearing the last sentence, John's face suddenly bloomed with joy.

The reason why he was willing to come up with a huge sum of more than 6,000 pounds in the first place, and fixed the investment of 1,000 pounds a year in the following years. Isn't that what Liszt said? You know, a general surgeon in London now earns only a few dozen pounds a year. John has invested tens of thousands of pounds in the scalpel club, which is almost equivalent to the annual income of hundreds of surgeons, which is undoubtedly a huge investment for a football club, and it is natural to win one or two championships......

After the humble but lively award ceremony. John and Liszt attended the team's celebratory reception together.

As the team's main investor and majority shareholder. John was naturally invited to the stage by the club manager, and it was the first time that many players met the legendary "big boss". Facing countless pairs of curious eyes, John first said a few words of congratulations, and then waved his hand and smiled: "Gentlemen, thank you very much for winning great honor for the Scalpel Club and making it one of the best clubs in England!" For this reason, I will personally reward you with 500 pounds, and I hope that you will continue to forge ahead next year......"

Before the words were finished, there was already an uproar in the hall!

Oh, God. Five hundred pounds!

Football clubs in the 19th century were not as large as later generations, with a team other than players, coaches and managers. There are hardly any other people left, and the team of players is not too large. So this means that if it were evenly distributed, the scalpel club would get £20 each!

What was the concept of £20 in 1892?

Don't think that footballers must earn high, know that until 1961, the salary cap of British footballers was 20 pounds a week, and in 1892, the salaries of players were definitely not higher than that of ordinary workers, and 20 pounds is almost equivalent to half a year's income of most Britons!

"Oh......"

So when John reaffirmed that he would give the money, all the club members cheered......

……

"Sir, don't you need me to serve you breakfast?"

Standing at the door of John and Anna's room, Chef Su Li asked again with some disappointment.

Since entering the Huntelaar house, Su Li may have taken a break for lunch and dinner, but breakfast has almost become his own place. Whatever old Huntelaar and Anna were used to, John? Mr. Huntelaar always eats the Chinese breakfast he prepares, and likes to be served by him even when he is away from home. So when John said that he didn't need his services today, Su Li naturally felt a little lost in his heart.

"Hehe, no need, I made an appointment with a friend today."

Waving his hand, John said with a smile: "But there is one thing I need your help with, Mr. Ehrlich will eat in the room, you go and let the hotel prepare it." ”

"Yes, sir."

Su Li nodded and quietly retreated.

This time he came to the center of the world in London, John did not choose a random hotel, but followed the old Huntelaar's advance arrangement and stayed at the Brown Hotel, the star of the hotel in London. The Brown Hotel now uses electricity, and it uses New York Electric Company products, and even the elevator is provided by the Huntelaar family's property, so the elder Huntelaar simply sent a telegram to help John book a few rooms.

This hotel, which has been open for more than 50 years, is consistently one of the best hotels in London.

When Bell invented the telephone and wanted to promote it in England, it was here that he made his first telephone call, and it is said that Queen Victoria often visited here. As for the future, two Roosevelt presidents have lived here, and the Queen of Reasoning is about to call this place home......

Of course, for John, these are not the point.

The point is that this old hotel, which became very famous in later generations, is indeed as legendary, and can provide a great space for privacy and avoid being disturbed. John is not unknown when he first came to Europe, he is now very famous in both medical and business circles, and now there is a great addition to the physics community - the two "physics" papers published last year are still the focus of the entire European physics community: many scientists have verified his theories.

So with the group, John and they stayed at this top hotel.

In addition to Su Li, there are really a lot of people accompanying him this time. Anna brought two valet with her, and John brought Henry the coachman and Suli the cook, as well as two strong bodyguards. Nowadays, the wealth of the Huntelaar family is growing rapidly every day, and the safety of family members has become an important aspect of the old Huntelaar, so bodyguards are absolutely indispensable. If it weren't for the fact that Ehrlich and his valet were still with him, old Huntelaar would have insisted that John bring two more......

……

"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Huntelaar."

As soon as he and Anna arrived at the restaurant, Mr. Brown's hotel manager immediately greeted him: "Professor Liszt is already waiting for the two, please come with me." ”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Bell."

Nodding slightly, John followed the manager to a table with a reserved sign.

"Good morning, Professor."

"Good morning, John, good morning, Lady Huntelaar."

Seeing Professor Liszt, who was waiting for him to have breakfast early in the morning, John greeted the other party very warmly. In the past few years, the two have never broken off contact, and often discuss certain issues in surgery, especially surgical disinfection and local anesthesia techniques, Liszt has always paid attention to the latest research results of Heinz General Hospital, so even the two of them have become more and more familiar. And after the scalpel club won the FA Cup yesterday, and after the two celebrated together, the relationship unconsciously became closer again.

After ordering the meal, Professor Liszt's mood did not seem to have recovered from yesterday's celebration, and he said excitedly: "Today, more than 70 doctors originally planned to come to the welcome banquet tonight, but after the scalpel club won the championship yesterday, more than 10 doctors decided to participate temporarily...... Haha, John, you're the focal point of the medical community in London right now! “

"Hehe, thank you for everything you did for me."

After smiling, John thanked Professor Liszt gratefully.

Although he had known for a long time that Liszt was going to organize a welcome banquet for himself, John really did not expect so many people to attend. Although his reputation is growing now, he is an American after all, and it is not so easy to convince the gentlemen of the British Empire.

"The charm of money is beyond imagination in the capitalist world!"

Remembering yesterday's conversation with some of the doctors, John couldn't help but smile at the corners of his mouth.

The success of the Scalpel Club naturally excites surgeons across London, but at the same time it makes another group of people stunned - London's internal medicine doctors. For example, only internal medicine physicians are qualified to receive education at universities, and surgeons mostly follow the "master" to practice directly, and for example, internal medicine physicians have always been in suits and leather shoes, polite, and surgeons used to be dirty, and even wore pig-killing leather skirts or simply shirtless when doing surgery......

In the face of those "rude" barbarians, the sense of superiority of internal medicine physicians has always been very strong.

But the founding and rapid success of the Scalpel Club has added a point to the surgeons and the internal medicine doctors in an era of increasingly popular football: the surgeons are increasingly fond of talking about football and the scalpel club, and the physicians are extremely embarrassed......
