Chapter 2 New Clubs
"Haha, actually, I didn't expect it to go so well."
Facing some of London's top physicians, John smiled: "The success of the Scalpel Club has shown the unity of the surgeons and in a sense raised the status of the surgeons in the public eye, which is why we set up this club in the first place. But to win a league title and an FA Cup in just four years was a bit of a surprise to me. ”
"Yes, we didn't expect that."
After listening to John's words, an internist in his fifties nodded and sighed.
As a well-known physician in the city of London, he knew all too well the power of the Scalpel Club. Football has now started to gain a huge popularity, with young people flocking to it, and the Scalpel club's impressive record has attracted a large number of fans in the City of London. Needless to say, the surgeons are there for almost every game. And through this football club, London surgeons even use watching football as a means of socializing!
The surgeons, who were originally scattered, quickly gathered together.
In this context, the rapid growth of the status and influence of surgeons in various medical systems, coupled with the increasing maturity of surgical disinfection, local anesthesia and standardized basic surgical operation techniques, has also made the public slowly begin to trust surgeons. The unity of the surgeons has led to the popularization and promotion of these techniques as quickly as possible......
Seeing this situation, how can internal medicine doctors not be enthusiastic and heartbeat?
So after scalpel won the league title last year, there was an idea among the London physicians to form their own club, and a dozen of the most prestigious physicians met several times to discuss the issue. Unfortunately, the physicians underestimate the costs of building a club – hiring coaches, renting pitches, buying consumables such as footballs and, of course, hiring great players...... Although compared to a hundred years later. Clubs in this era spend very little, but they still need at least a few thousand pounds a year, which is not something they can afford.
In the final analysis, the scalpel club relies on John, a local tyrant.
Of the 10,000 pounds he started, John alone took out nearly 7,000 pounds, and Liszt, a big man who wanted to improve the status of a surgeon, gave 1,000 pounds. And then the surgeons all over London totaled £2,000. But without Mr. Huntelaar's support, it would have been much more difficult for the physicians. Although the internal medicine doctors are generally better than the surgeons, and there are many more people, they still belong to the ordinary income class after all, and the second is the lack of such a powerful figure as Liszt, so it is not easy to organize.
Raising £10,000 is a huge struggle.
So naturally, the internists thought of John? Mr Huntelaar, especially after seeing the local tycoon reward the club with five hundred pounds in one go. Several internal medicine doctors have become more and more intense. As the top physicians in the city of London, they certainly don't know John's true identity, and if nothing else, the owner of Heinz Pharmaceutical is enough to become the richest man at the top, and there is no problem if he is willing to fund it.
So taking advantage of today's banquet, they came forward to find out.
Of course, John guessed the other party's intention, so looking at the entanglement and hesitation on the faces of several internal medicine doctors, he also secretly snickered in his heart. These guys just saw the success of the Scalpel Club boost surgery. So I was tempted, but now the problem is that there is not enough money. And they were embarrassed to ask John, a surgeon, for help, and they couldn't open their mouths......
"Forget it, give them a staircase."
After all, he still planned to get along with the internal medicine doctors, so John was not interested in spending it, and said with a smile: "I wonder if the internal medicine doctors have the idea of forming their own club?" If so, I'm also interested here. At least in terms of funding, there is some help that can be provided! ”
"Oh? It's true? ”
After hearing John's words, the eyes of several internal medicine doctors lit up at the same time.
Just as John guessed, they wanted John's funding, but because of the internal medicine doctor's self-esteem and the fact that they were very entangled, no one was willing to speak. But now Mr. Huntelaar has offered to fund a football club for physicians. This made several people overjoyed!
"Of course, it's my pleasure!"
Without hesitation, John nodded and smiled: "If everyone has this idea, I can ...... it personally." No, no, how about asking T&H to inject £10,000 and £1,000 a year for the next five years? ”
"Hiss......"
This answer, which was far beyond expectations, made the internal medicine doctors gasp at the same time, and after hearing the name of T&H company, several people looked at each other and their expressions became strange......
……
"Haha, then it's decided!"
Patting John on the shoulder, Liszt said with a smile: "The academic report of your trip to London will be held the morning after tomorrow, I have been looking forward to this report for a long time, and I really hope that John can come up with something exciting again!" ”
"Hehe, I'm sure I won't let you down."
John, who had been prepared for a long time, smiled slightly and nodded vigorously.
After finalizing the matter of the report meeting, Professor Liszt was obviously in a very happy mood, and asked with a smile: "John, do you have any arrangements for tomorrow?" Would you like me to accompany you for a walk around London? ”
"Uh...... Thanks, but no. ”
Shrugging his shoulders, John smiled and said, "I made an appointment with Jim from T&H tomorrow?" Mr. Thomson, I was going to check him out, so ......"
"Oh? Oh, got it. ”
After hearing the name of T&H company, he was slightly stunned at first, and Liszt immediately realized.
As a company that has only been established for three or four years, T&H's name is now in full swing in the British Empire! On the one hand, of course, because his products, whether aspirin, sulfonamides, local anesthetics, and of course, antitoxin serums, completely dominated the market of the British Empire and various colonies, which can be described as making money every day; On the other hand, it is because the British Medical Association and the Scalpel Club each have 5% of the shares in T&H's shares!
Therefore, in the promotion process of several drugs, the British Medical Association has given strong support!
It is because of their support that T&H's products have dominated the market of the British Empire in just a few years, and the sales of various colonies have been amazing. Of course, the British Medical Association has also benefited greatly, having received a notice from T&H earlier this year that they will pay dividends to shareholders for the first time in May, and the British Medical Association's amount will be as high as tens of thousands of pounds! The Scalpel Club is about to receive this huge dividend, so it can finally start its own stadium construction plan......
As the current giant of the British Medical Association, Liszt certainly knows that the H in T&H is Huntelaar, that is, the John in front of him? Mr. Huntelaar!
After saying goodbye to Professor Liszt, John prepared to go back to the Brown Hotel to rest.
Attending the welcome banquet held especially for him today allowed him to meet a lot of new friends, and more importantly, he was involved in the preparation of the internal medicine football club. The English Football League has started to set up a second division league this year, and if it is prepared in time, it can just catch up.
Of course, this time, John was going to put T&H in charge.
He believes that after two years of development, especially after seeing the huge role of the British Association of Physicians in the promotion of medicines, that Jim? Mr. Thomson will not see the benefit of doing so! An investment of £10,000 and a small amount of money a year would be enough for T&H to take the majority of the new club, and because of the success of the scalpel club, the proud physicians are sure to invest a lot of enthusiasm in the new club......
In fact, John is still glad that he had just passed on the opportunity to T&H. After all, he is a surgeon, and although it is not impossible to invest in a club of internal medicine doctors, it is not suitable after all. And because of the injection of T&H shares, John now owns almost ninety percent of the scalpel club shares, and if he reinvests in competitors, it will inevitably make members gossip.
But when it comes to T&H investment, it's a different story.
T&H's products are mainly drugs, and although there are surgeons in the customers, they are mainly internal physicians, and no one will have a problem with their investment.
"Tsk, that's a brilliant idea!"
When he invested in the scalpel, John really didn't see such a long-term view, and now he has an unexpected gain, of course, he can't help but be secretly proud...... (To be continued.) )
