In 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In this era, in addition to the Greeks themselves being more excited, the opening ceremony set a grand record of 80,000 people, in fact, the Olympics really did not have much impact, for example, the United States participated in the Olympic Games, the athletes are basically from Harvard and other universities, and the purpose of going to Europe is more for tourism, so John only saw the corresponding news in the newspaper after the Olympics.

The moment he saw the newspaper, Mr. Huntelaar was greatly remorseful.

Modern sports have not been in their infancy for a long time, and the number of professional athletes is even smaller due to economic and various reasons, so the level of the first Olympic Games can be imagined. John's family is rich in his life, he is 1.9 meters tall, he is very strong under the perennial exercise, and the tennis level is also good......

But this kind of thing, the frustration will pass after a while.

The thirty-six new Chinese elementary school students involved a lot of John's energy. In order to enable these children to master English as soon as possible and integrate smoothly into the city, John can be said to have worked hard. Not only are they equipped with excellent teachers hired with high salaries, but also special people organize extracurricular activities to teach, take them to take trains and cars, take them to visit factories and hospitals, and even take them to court to observe and so on. In addition to their own property, the influence of the Huntelaar family in New York City was also vividly displayed, even if these yellow-skinned children were not cold, but even Roosevelt's police station received this group of young guests to visit.

Speaking of Roosevelt, he received the full support of the Huntelaar consortium as chief of police!

The New York Police Department in this era can be said to be in the darkest era. The legacy of the Tammoni era has not yet fully dissipated, and with corruption rife throughout the United States, New York, the largest city, is no better. Roosevelt had been ostracized because of this, so after becoming police chief, Roosevelt began to carry out radical reforms: regular inspections of firefighting facilities; conducting annual physical fitness tests for police officers; Recruitment of new recruits is based strictly on physical fitness and intelligence criteria rather than political affiliation; recruitment of ethnic minorities and women; shutting down police-run commercial facilities that lead to corruption; Install telephones in all precincts, etc.

These reform measures, of course, have met with fierce resistance.

The loss of any vested interests will make the holders desperately resist, and Roosevelt, who was under great pressure, naturally thought of his behind-the-scenes financier, so the elder Huntelaar personally stepped out, and persuaded Morgan and other giants to exert pressure together, not only to make Roosevelt's position as stable as Mount Tai, but also to ensure that his reform measures can be carried out smoothly, and let his personal prestige further increase......

Let's get back to business.

The education of young international students is a long-term job, and it will take at least ten years before entering college, so John is not in a hurry. He carefully made a long and scientific plan, and then patiently waited for the day when the fruit would ripen.

But at my own school, I can't wait any longer.

In June 1896, after the second class of graduates had officially received their doctorate certificates and had chosen to enter Heinz General Hospital for residency training, John personally visited Professor Osler, the current director of the medical school.

"Professor, our project must begin."

Taking a deep breath, John asked seriously, "I don't know what you're thinking about?" Would you like to be the Vice-Chancellor of Huntelaar University? ”

"Well, I've thought about it."

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Professor Osler shook his head apologetically and said, "Thank you for trusting me, but...... To be honest, I didn't have the confidence to be the president of a comprehensive university, and I would have preferred to focus all my energy on medical education, so I ...... I'm sorry, John. ”

"No, no, you have nothing to be sorry about."

Shrugging his shoulders, John smiled and said, "I can understand your thoughts, and to be honest, after careful consideration and reflection, I personally feel that if you focus on medical school, it would be a better choice for us!" ”

Nodding with satisfaction, Osler immediately asked with concern, "So...... Do you have anyone else to choose from? ”

"I guess I have."

After hesitating for a moment, John nodded with a wry smile and said, "And he is a person I think is very suitable, but that person is now in Cambridge, I'm afraid I have to go there myself......"

Leaving Professor Osler's office, John let out a sigh of relief.

What the two of them were talking about was the expansion of the Huntelaar Medical School. In the future, the School of Medicine will no longer be just a clinical medical school, but will also include the School of Dentistry, the School of Nursing, the School of Public Health, and the School of Pharmacy, which John has strongly promoted.

Other than that......

In fact, this expansion is no longer limited to medicine, and John intends to build on the experience of medical school construction to officially start preparations for the establishment of Huntelaar University! A comprehensive university that includes the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Theological Schools, Law Schools, Business Schools, and Architecture Schools!

For John, this was a foregone conclusion!

In any case, in the future, a medical school should not exist independently, but should be attached to a comprehensive university. Because only in this way can it draw more nutrients from the university, such as humanities, science and engineering support. One need only look at the situation of medical schools in the United States and the wave of mergers of major medical schools in China at the end of the 20th century.

So from the very beginning, John had already prepared accordingly.

It's just that the funds at the beginning were not sufficient, at least not comparable to the investment of tens of millions of dollars in one breath like Stanford University, and it was not comparable to Hopkins's huge investment, plus he had no experience, so John decided to start from medical school. The investment is small, the results are fast, and it is also very suitable for John's own identity.

Now is the time to prepare for college.

With the help of the tide of the economic crisis, John's major industries are desperately trying to swallow up those companies that are suitable for them, especially Huntelaar Bank, because the industries under the Huntelaar consortium are very little affected by the economic crisis, so it indirectly helps him grow, plus John keeps injecting funds to fund their desperate acquisitions, so now the scale is more than ten times larger than at the beginning of the acquisition!

Suffice it to say, Huntelaar Bank has created a miracle!

In less than five years, it has gone from a medium-sized bank to one of the largest banks in New York! Even Morgan, the emperor of Wall Street, is now very suspicious of Huntelaar Bank, and privately annoyed that he should not watch this competitor grow all the time.

The rapid development of various industries has given John enough confidence.

Therefore, the University of Huntelaar, which has been in the planning for a long time, is finally about to start formal preparations. However, at the beginning of the preparations, the most important thing was to choose a president for the university, and John's first choice was his old friend, Professor Osler. Not because the other party was the most suitable, but out of respect, John thought of him immediately.

Unfortunately, and somewhat fortunately, Osler refused.

John didn't know if Osler would be able to apply his medical education to college, and he was willing to give it a try, but it would take some risk.

But for John, that's not bad either.

At least in his mind, Osler was not the best choice, because he found another better and more suitable candidate in his memory. All John needs to do now is go to Cambridge himself......" (To be continued.) )
