CHAPTER XVIII
John? The establishment of Hopkins University is worthy of special mention in the history of American education.
This new university, which aims at the University of Berlin in Germany, the mother of modern universities, marks the beginning of the modern higher education system in the United States. It was this university that opened the precedent of recruiting undergraduates by major, opened the first graduate school in the United States, and truly combined university education and scientific research in the United States. Similarly, it was John who opened later? Hopkins School of Medicine has opened the era of undergraduate admission, and its clinical education concept, which combines medical education, medical research and clinical practice, surpasses European German medical education and French medical education, and truly opens the door to modern medical education!
Now this first place is naturally occupied by Heinz Medical College.
As a time-traveler, John himself is not proficient in the history of medical education in the United States, but he has also learned some about it, and his alma mater in his previous life also has an eight-year system, which can be used as a reference. In addition, with the founder Osler himself, John is full of confidence in this life!
Seeing Ehrlich's thoughtful look, John turned his attention to Osler and Kelly and the others, and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, although there seems to be nothing clinical in the first two years of the course, I personally think that it is not a bad thing for students to be exposed to clinical practice earlier, and it is completely possible to draw up a clinical clerkship plan and arrange for them to stay in the hospital for a few days during a certain learning stage." ”
"Hmm...... Can be considered. ”
After a moment's silence, Professor Osler nodded.
"So be it!"
The important things were basically finished, John simply stood up and smiled: "Gentlemen, there is still a month to go, everyone should get ready......
……
John returned home at six o'clock.
"Oh. What the hell is the weather! ”
After entering the door, John quickly took off his hat, then took off his coat and threw it into the maid's hand, eagerly loosening his collar. This summer's weather was unusually hot, even the car had its windows open all the way, and John was already sweating profusely when he returned home. However, whether it is old Huntelaar or his wife Anna, they will pay attention to what he wears before he goes out. I'm afraid that he is not a gentleman enough, which can make John, who was used to wearing cool clothes in his previous life, suffer.
"Do you want Tesla to design an air conditioner?"
While fanning his shirt vigorously, John couldn't help but think of the electric air conditioner that would only appear later. Including air conditioners, refrigerators and whatever, in fact, John has a general understanding of how they work, if you don't pay attention to so many futuristic fine technologies, it shouldn't be particularly difficult to simply implement refrigeration. Merely......
Just thinking about it, John immediately shook his head.
Of course, it is not difficult to make those things, but in terms of the technology of this era, the finished product must be stupid and coarse. The noise is huge, there is no domestic value at all, and I am afraid that it can only be used in factories for a long time, which completely loses John's original intention. Moreover, with the economy and people's income level in this era, it makes no sense to invent household appliances or anything, and the high price makes them the patent of a few people, and the current New York Power Company may not be able to afford such a large amount of electricity consumption......
"Sit down and have a bowl of mung bean soup."
I saw my husband sweating profusely. Anna brought him a bowl of mung bean soup with ice, and then fanned it vigorously with her own small fan. Ever since I had that chef from the East. The various soups that southern Chinese specialize in have become one of the must-have meals in every meal of the Huntelaar family. Especially in the summer, John drank a bowl of mung bean soup almost every day to quench his thirst, and even Anna and old Huntelaar gradually liked it.
After two mouthfuls of ice water, the heat finally subsided a little.
"What are you doing at home today?"
After feeling a little better, John began to care about his wife's daily life.
"Read a book."
Pouted. Anna said helplessly: "In such a hot weather, everyone has no interest in going out, so they have to stay at home and read books honestly." ”
Looking at Anna's wrinkled little nose, John couldn't help but be happy.
It was true that the means of entertainment in this era were somewhat too scarce, so for most nobles and wealthy people. Social activities are their favorite form of entertainment. In fact, the poor are not much worse, and they can't attend high-end balls, but the dense salons on the streets of New York are not very expensive, and in addition to attracting criticism from some moral defenders, they are also extremely popular. Anna is no exception, but she also likes to read, paint and play the piano, and she usually has a hobby to pass the time at home.
"What are you laughing at? Dislike! ”
Seeing John's happy appearance, Anna couldn't help but gently pat him to express her dissatisfaction.
The little couple laughed and laughed, and they didn't feel stuffy for a while, John hesitated a little and said, "Anna, do you want to do something yourself?" ”
"You mean...... Job? ”
With a pair of big watery eyes, Anna covered her mouth and screamed.
It's no wonder that Anna is making such a fuss, only those girls from ordinary families will go to work to earn money these days, and most of them will return to the family after marriage, and only a very small number of people continue to work, such as the special profession of hospital nurse. As a new member of the Huntelaar family, Anna would certainly not be able to go out to work, which would not only make the others laugh, but would also definitely make the old Huntelaar furious, and chase down John who allowed this to happen all over the world with a cane......
John hurriedly covered Anna's mouth and whispered, "Don't shout, I don't mean to let you really go to work, but to find something to do for yourself!" ”
"Oh, oh!"
Anna also came back to her senses and nodded quickly.
Seeing that his wife understood what he meant, John breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I mean it's boring for you to be idle at home every day, so it's better to find something for yourself to do, such as holding a book club with friends, or organizing some regular activities......
"Fixed activity? What do you mean? ”
Anna's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked.
"Hehe, it depends on what you want to do."
Shrugging his shoulders, John laughed and said, "For example, aren't many ladies now very enthusiastic about charity?" Nowadays, the cost of medical care is high, and many poor people cannot afford to see a doctor, if you are interested, you can try it......"
"John?"
Just as John was about to continue, old Huntelaar's voice suddenly came.
"Grandpa, I'm here."
After hearing the voice of old Huntelaar, John quickly stood up and responded loudly. Looking up, he saw the outsider coming down from the upper floor, and he hurriedly walked up to meet him. John didn't notice that Anna, who was also up behind him, had a glint of interest in her eyes......
……
“…… I went to the car factory and the radio factory today. ”
Speaking of today's trip, old Huntelaar's face was full of red light: "Everything went very smoothly!" Although the workers are not very skilled and not very efficient, they are quite satisfactory...... By the way, that one is called Henry? Ford's young people are really good, very thoughtful, and technically the best in the crowd...... John, you have a good eye, and today I have appointed him as Gantt's deputy. ”
"Hey, hey."
Hearing his grandfather's compliment, John was happy.
Since he had matched his subordinates with the car emperor, how could John easily let this talent go? Regardless of whether he will resign in the future to start his own business, now that he is his own employee after all, John is not willing to let go of a talent easily.
And......
After thinking about it later, John had actually figured out something. The reason why Ford was able to catch up and build a car empire was mainly because of the slow development of automobile technology and relatively small investment in real history, and he happened to create assembly line operations. But now, because of the emergence of John, the automobile industry has started early, and the technology has been improved in advance, and it is not so easy to compete with General Motors or Heinz Motors.
Excited, the elder Huntelaar continued: "Because of the start of construction, I am afraid that we can only produce more than 200 cars this year, but next year it will definitely exceed 1,000 vehicles, which is enough to meet the needs of North America." ”
"Yes, that's enough."
Hearing old Huntelaar's words, John nodded in agreement.
Now that Heinz is in production, GM's future production capacity will mainly supply Europe and other regions, and will not enter North America, so neither of them is worried about the cars they produce will not be bought. But in the same way, because the market size is so large, I am afraid that any more will be indigestion.
"How's the radio factory?"
A moment later, John asked about the situation on Motorola's side.
"The production schedule is already scheduled for the end of the year."
Smiling proudly, old Huntelaar said happily; "The main countries in Europe have reached an agreement with the military and have placed orders, and all we have to do is expand the scale of production and wait for the money to be collected......" (To be continued. )
