Heinz General Hospital, 3rd floor demonstration operating room.

At present, there are only three operating rooms in the entire Heinz General Hospital, which is certainly a small number for any major hospital in later generations, but it was enough for the end of the 19th century. You know, in these days, even appendectomy can be regarded as a high-end operation, and how many surgeries can be used in the operating room?

Most surgeries can be done in an outpatient ward.

It's just that among the three operating rooms, there are two ordinary operating rooms, and one is a demonstration operating room with a special structure. John hated the fact that surgeons of his time were operating on the podium and surrounded by crowds, and of course he would not allow such a thing to happen in his own hospital, so he specially designed this demonstration operating room when building this building.

In fact, it is very simple, it is just to add two sides of glass on both sides of the operating room.

The physicians worked on the operating table in the middle, and those who wanted to observe could stand outside the glass walls on either side and watch, and no more than four people could go in and see it up close at a time - this was John's dead rule!

Today is the first operation in the hospital, which naturally attracts the attention of many people.

It's just a pity that in addition to the doctors and nurses in the hospital, there are also four surgeons from Columbia College who want to observe this operation, so out of all considerations, Thomas did not hesitate to give all the places to the visiting guests in the operating room, as for his own people who are also full of expectations, they can only watch from a distance outside the glass wall. Naturally, this decision caused dissatisfaction among most people, especially the young surgeons, who could only whisper outside the glass walls because of Thomas's prestige.

But inside the glass wall, the four outside surgeons were silent!

“…… It's amazing. ”

After watching the entire surgery. There was almost only one thought in the minds of all the observing surgeons!

Seeing Thomas do the new surgery with his own eyes has given these people too much shock!

Simple and fast.

It only takes a dose of anesthetic to be injected into the patient's spine, an incision in the abdomen that is only a few centimeters long, and then it takes less than an hour for Mr. Crawford's appendix to be removed......

My God!

At the moment of the end of the operation, I don't know how many surgeons began to call out to the Almighty Lord in their hearts.

After all, what looks like a magazine is just words and pictures. The appendectomy performed by surgeons in North America according to the written and pictorial descriptions is frighteningly low, and the whole process is like crossing a river by feeling a stone. None of these surgeons at Columbia College dared to try. Today, after seeing Thomas's complete and precise operation, it is as if a door has been opened in front of almost everyone's eyes......

It's an open abdominal surgery, and it can be done!

"Mr. Crawford, how do you feel when the operation is over?"

After counting the instruments and gauze used in the operation, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. asked softly. Although there was no difficulty in appendectomy for him, after all, he hadn't touched a scalpel for more than half a year, and he felt nervous before the operation just now!

As soon as Thomas's words fell, Mr. Crawford's voice came: "The body is still wooden...... Hey? Is the surgery over? ”

Judging from the tone of his words, no one could tell that this Mr. Crawford had just been stabbed horribly!

"Sizzle......"

After hearing Mr. Crawford's words, the four outside doctors gasped at the same time!

Oh, God!

Because all the attention was on Thomas's operation, the four of them forgot that this operation used a new "local anesthesia" technique, which means that the patient was awake during the operation! And this patient who was terribly scared before the operation and looked like he might faint at any time. Just now, I even asked, "Is the operation over?" ”

Even if they had read the relevant papers in the magazine a long time ago, the four of them still looked like they had seen a ghost!

"I'm afraid it will take some time for the effect of the anesthetic to wear off."

After patiently explaining to Mr. Crawford. Thomas then turned his head to look at the doctors who were observing: "Gentlemen, the operation is over, everyone can go out." ”

"Goo-dong!"

After swallowing hard, the middle-aged doctor asked urgently, "Mr. Thomas, I have many more questions for you, such as why did you put these blue cloths on Mr. Crawford's body?" And also. Is the gauze you used for the surgery also sterilized......

"yes, yes, we have a lot of questions too."

Hearing the middle-aged doctor say this, the other three people were also a little anxious. After actually seeing the surgery, in addition to the shock, they also accumulated countless questions in their hearts. Answers from Thomas's mouth are urgently needed. You know, what John taught Thomas was hundreds of years of surgical experience, and it was a temptation that no surgeon in this era could not resist!

Thomas's head suddenly hurt, but these people are guests after all, and he can only smile helplessly: "Gentlemen, this is the operating room, if you have any questions, let's go out and talk......

……

Looking at the thick stack of papers in his hand, John only felt a terrible headache.

"Do you need to watch it now?"

After a rough estimate of the number of pages, John asked hesitantly. There are at least a dozen pages on this stack, and it will take a lot of time just to read them once, not to mention the contents that need to be carefully pondered.

"Of course not."

After hearing John's question, Morgan, who was sitting opposite him, was suddenly happy, shook his head again and again, and said: "Mr. Huntelaar, this is just the first draft of our agreement, you can take it back and read it, just give me a reply as much as possible." ”

"Ahem! Ahem! ”

Old Huntelaar also felt that John's question was too embarrassing, and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.

Touching his nose a little embarrassed, John was silent in amusement. In fact, from the negotiation just now, he has already understood a general idea, the cooperation agreement reached by the two sides is very simple, in short, the investors led by Morgan come up with $2.8 million in funds. The Huntelaar family and Tesla took out all the assets and patents of Newton Power and reorganized New York Power! After the reorganization, Morgan and others accounted for 60% of the shares, and the original Newton Power Company accounted for 40% of the shares. The Huntelaar family's original investment in more than seventy percent of the shares has shrunk to about thirty percent at once, while the New East Power Company has received a huge amount of money urgently needed for development!

this deal. It is undoubtedly an excellent bargain for both parties.

Morgan and others have clearly seen the huge development prospects of alternating current, and naturally know that such a huge investment can get enough returns, and after getting this huge amount of money, Newton Electric Power Company can finally get rid of the embarrassment of lack of funds and really start the revolution of the power industry!

Build a power plant, lay a power grid!

Nearly $3 million in funding would allow the restructured New York Power Company to put Tesla's patents into real practice, and a large-scale power supply would reduce the cost per unit of electricity, plus tungsten light bulbs produced by the Huntelaar family factory......

Many people seem to have a beautiful "money scene" in front of their eyes!

Only John knew. The development of the power industry is definitely beyond their imagination, and it is difficult for people in this era to imagine what kind of level people's dependence on electricity has reached in the future! Now with such a large amount of money, it is conceivable that New York Power Company will inevitably take the lead in the future, and it is likely to gradually develop into a supergiant like the national grid in the 21st century!

"It's a pity!"

When John couldn't help but be happy, Morgan suddenly sighed softly and said, "It's a pity that Mr. Edison rejected my proposal, otherwise if Edison Electric and Newton Electric can be reorganized, it will definitely save us a lot of time." ”

"Hmm."

Hearing Morgan's words, everyone else nodded at the same time.

Although Newdon Power has enough alternating current patents. But in terms of heritage and scale, it is not comparable to Edison's company, especially in terms of talent pool. That's why Morgan exclaimed like this.

"Uh......"

Of all the people, John was the only one who had a strange feeling rising in his heart.

Historically, Morgan was a staunch supporter of Edison and direct current, but later found that the development of alternating current was unstoppable, and finally took the Westinghouse Electric Company, forcing Tesla to give up the benefits of the patent. But in this one world. Because John's appearance changed a qiē, not only did Morgan turn their attention to alternating current in advance, but I am afraid that it also directly put Edison's electric company into the cold palace.

But......

"Let him go."

It was only a moment of melancholy, and John quickly put the feeling aside.

For him, the cooperation with Morgan can not only enable the power company to develop more rapidly. Another advantage is that you can completely liberate yourself and your grandfather. And with Morgan's skills and connections, I believe that the company's development should be better and faster. In this way, the Huntelaar family basically does not have to contribute to get more benefits, so why not?

"That's the benefit of foresight."

With a slight pride in his heart, John couldn't help but sigh at the welfare of the traverser.

But before he could be complacent for a moment, Morgan, who was celebrating the intention of cooperation, suddenly walked over and laughed softly: "Mr. Huntelaar, can I ask you a question?" ”

"Of course!"

John was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded and smiled.

"I've heard that your pharmaceutical company is in production today."

After a moment of deliberation, Morgan smiled and said, "I'm very interested in the drugs you invented right now, I wonder if there are any opportunities for you to cooperate in this area?" ”

"Pharmaceutical companies?"

After hearing this extremely sensitive word, John's brows furrowed, and his face suddenly sank...... (To be continued......)
