After discussing the aspirin issue with Hoffman, John went to soak in the real room with Ehrlich, who had just joined the company, for a long time.

The three sulfonamides are now the absolute focus of Ehrlich's work.

This miracle drug, which appeared fifty years in advance, gave Ehrlich more and more surprises, and he almost couldn't wait to immerse himself in the excitement of research. At Johan's insistence, Hoffmann provided Ehrlich with a separate room, equipped with the most advanced equipment and appliances available in Germany, and invested fifteen thousand marks in him alone, without counting three assistants.

"A month at most!"

In John's presence, Ehrlich swore an oath: "Within a month, I promise to deliver the results of the animal to you!" ”

Of course, John believed in this assurance.

In fact, if it is in the 21st century, this process will have to increase at least several times, but in this era at the end of the 19th century, people will not care whether the new drug has been tested or not, as long as there is a definite curative effect, it will definitely be popularized quickly, even if there are very big adverse reactions. Almost all of the drugs on the market now have various adverse reactions, and doctors don't care about it, and patients can't do anything if they do.

Asking Ehrlich to do the animal practice before entering the clinical trial is actually quite responsible.

After a long day at Heinz Pharmaceutical, John returned home exhausted.

"Are you tired?"

Seeing John's face at the dinner table, it seemed that his face was not very good, and old Huntelaar frowned, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Well, it's kind of."

There was no need to hide anything in front of his grandfather, John nodded and smiled bitterly: "On the side of the pharmaceutical company." It's much more tiring than going to work in a hospital...... Grandpa, it looks like I'm better suited to be a doctor! ”

"Uh......"

For John's explanation, old Huntelaar's face suddenly darkened.

While eating, old Huntelaar learned about John's visit to the pharmaceutical company today. After a general understanding, he didn't say much about some of John's decisions today, just nodded and said, "John." I've thought about it, and the pharmaceutical company will only let Mr. Brister participate in it for the time being, and as for the future...... If the two drugs are as miraculous as you say, I don't think there will be a shortage of collaborators! ”

When he said these words, old Huntelaar's expression was also a little helpless.

In order to find a local partner for John in Germany, and of course to reduce the risk of such a huge investment, the elder Huntelaar spent a lot of thought during this time. Regrettably, however, there was little interest in anyone with whom he came into contact except for Mr. Brister, who had great faith in John. Even Baron Cole. When he heard that John had bought a dye factory, but was going to engage in some kind of pharmaceutical, he also frequently shook his head and refused.

"Okay, Grandpa."

John, who didn't care about this at all, shrugged his shoulders and smiled in response.

No one knows better what the future holds for pharmaceutical companies than John. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the two of them were going back to New York after all, he wouldn't want to give up even the 10 percent of the shares. Naturally, there is nothing to say about this situation.

"John, you don't have any plans for tomorrow, do you?"

After eating, I wiped my mouth. Old Huntlaar asked suddenly.

"Well, nothing special."

John, who was still sweeping the tail, swallowed a bite of beef, shook his head and said casually.

"Then come with me to the Brister's house!"

The old man stood up slowly and said lightly: "Mr. Brister's agreement to invest in Heinz Pharmaceutical, we will sign it with them tomorrow, so that we can invest the funds as much as possible." Take some of our stress off the hook. ”

The building has already been built, the equipment needed for the real room has already been booked, and together with the recruitment of chemists, technicians and workers, Heinz Pharmaceutical's investment in this year will be more than 3 million marks! Even though a huge sum of money had just come in his account not long ago, such a high investment still made old Huntelaar a little frightened.

Not to mention. When he goes back to New York, he has even more expenses waiting for him!

So even if he is very confident in John, the elder Huntelaar believes that Heinz Pharmaceutical will be very profitable in the future, but he still wants to bring in other shareholders. On the one hand, it is natural to balance the forces within the company, and on the other hand, there is also the idea of reducing risks.

"Okay."

After tilting his head and thinking for a moment, John nodded.

Seeing that his grandson agreed, the well-fed old Huntelaar nodded with satisfaction and walked upstairs. But as soon as he took two steps, he turned his head and smiled: "By the way, today there is a letter from you, from England, and a telegram from Karlsruhe, both of which are on the table in your study......

"Karlsruhe's telegram?"

Hearing this, John blinked, and finally remembered that General Motors was in Karlsruhe, and that was the only thing John had to do with it. After all, there is no medical school at the Technical University of Karlsruhe.

But......

"Benz, what are they looking for me?"

While speculating on the meaning of the telegram, John hurried upstairs to his study.

The letter and telegram were placed on the table, but John did not look at them immediately, but first sorted out the manuscripts on the table. This is a book he has already written, called "Surgical Sterilization, Anesthesia and Abdominal Surgery", which he is going to show to Bergman, and ask the professor to write a preface and send it for publication.

The reason why it has been delayed until now is because John later changed his mind.

He did not intend to limit the content of the book to the research he had already done, but later added a lot of summaries of relevant knowledge from the same period, as well as future "inferences" and "conjectures". For example, the disadvantages of inhalation anesthesia, the possibility of intravenous anesthesia in the future, the anatomy of the abdomen, the incision selection criteria for the corresponding part of the surgery, and the standardized steps of abdominal surgery......

With hundreds of thousands of words sprinkled and sketches that took a lot of painstaking work, John had full confidence in this book.

"One in English, one in German!"

After sorting out the manuscript in hand, John had already planned the institution for publication. Naturally, the German side was handed over to German Medicine, and the British side was handed over to Elsevier, and there was nothing to consider, and all John needed to do now was to retranslate all the text into English, which would be a lot of work......

After a few moments of headache, John picked up the letter and telegram.

The letter came from Conan Doyle, and John guessed the thickness of the letter, and the physician-writer probably wrote another short story by Sherlock Holmes. Since the publication of "A Study in Scarlet Letters", Conan Doyle has written two more letters to John, excitedly saying that Sherlock Holmes is very popular in England and has a tendency to become a hit. And John's reply also included some forensic knowledge, such as judging the time of death based on the temperature of the corpse and the corpse spots......

In a short period of time, John finally had an idea of Conan Doyle's prolific production.

Resisting the urge to open the letter and look through it, John tucked the envelope into a drawer. I'd love to read the latest Sherlock Holmes below, but I'll have to wake up early tomorrow, so I'd better wait until I get back from the Brister house to enjoy the good stuff, so I'd better take a look at the telegram for now.

The telegram from Karlsruhe was sent by Benz.

The person who sent the telegram was not expected by John, but the content of the telegram surprised him, and he couldn't help but gasp: "Made it successful again?" How could it be so fast?! ”

Benz said in a telegram that they had just built a car that everyone was happy with, and invited John to come and inspect it, but the point was ......

It's only been half a year, right?

It has only been half a year since Johann went to Karlsruhe last time, and the investment of one million marks has just been delivered, so how can it be successful?

John's brow furrowed.

When he saw Daimler and Maybach join GM, John had already guessed that the development of automobiles would probably be faster than he imagined. Especially with the massive financial support of 200,000 marks per year, Benz can organize a research team of 50 people, which can undoubtedly speed up their research and development by at least ten times!

You know, there was only one person in history, and in 1888, his wife drove more than 100 kilometers back to her parents' home in a car, becoming the world's first car driver.

What people in this era lack is not technology, but money and manpower.

With enough funds and manpower, they can use countless times to increase the power of the engine, and with John's "tires and other big tires", "pneumatic tires", "steering wheel", "transmission" and other buildings that are ahead of the times, this speed will be like riding a rocket! So despite signing a five-year investment plan of one million marks, John still doesn't think it will take that long, I'm afraid that in two or three years there will be a practical car.

But he never imagined that it would take Bentz and them only half a year to send a telegram to himself!

"Gotta get it!"

While John was frowning and pondering, Hans the butler knocked on the door and walked in.

"Your water, sir."

Nodding slightly, Hans placed a glass of water on the table. A glass of water every morning and evening was a habit for John, and Hans had persisted for so many years.

When the butler turned his head and was about to go out, John suddenly stopped him: "Mr. Elber, please help me book a train ticket to Karlsruhe, huh...... Three days later it will be fine. ”

"Yes, sir."

There was a slight surprise, but Hans immediately nodded in agreement.

After Hans left, John looked at the telegram in his hand and frowned again, "What the hell is going on?" The power of money is really so great that it can speed up the course of history so much ......" (to be continued......
