Chapter XXXVII
In fact, whether it is Motorola or Heinz Pharmaceuticals, John will always pay attention.
Just because he doesn't like business and refuses to bother with his business doesn't mean John really left it alone. In any case, those are the property of the Huntelaar family, and the old man is getting older every year, and John doesn't care who cares?
It's just that compared to Joshua, John had very little to do.
And the most important thing is that John understands the principle of mutual restraint, for example, Motorola has Tesla people, there are financial personnel sent by the Huntelaar family, and full-time managers hired, and the three parties supervise each other, as long as there are no problems in management, John will not care too much. And it turns out that the previous invitation to Taylor and Gantt to join them has played a very important role in the industry under their name!
The annual expenses of the medical school are supported by these industries.
Heinz General Hospital is now on the right track, and it is naturally a bit impossible to make money from it, but it is not a big problem to feed the doctors and nurses. As for the huge cost of medical school, I'm afraid it will have to be supported by John himself, unless......
"Unless everyone is like Ehrlich, they can come up with research results that have economic value!"
After saying that casually, Osler himself couldn't help but be happy.
If there are a few affiliated hospitals below the medical school with an amazing number of outpatient clinics, it is indeed possible that they will be self-financing overall, but how can it be under normal circumstances? Let's just say that Heinz Medical College and Heinz General Hospital are nominally one. And they are all owned by John, but the economic accounts are all separated. Let's talk about those medical schools in China in my last life, such as Capital Medical University in Beijing. Shanghai's Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and so on, are a series of affiliated hospitals, but most of them are not really directly direct, whether it is personnel or financial power is independent, there is not much significance.
"Hehe......"
So when Osler finished speaking, Ehrlich and the professors from the other departments were also happy.
It's not like universities are without money these days, for example, Harvard is very rich. Tuition, social donations, and the feedback of graduates have made Harvard one of the richest universities in the world. But for a new school like Heinz Medical College, this is undoubtedly just a thought. Of course. If, like other small medical schools in the United States at the same time, seven or eight doctors dared to recruit students, and experimental courses were not opened at all, running a university was really a lucrative business. But like Heinz Medical College, it only admits ten people a year. The investment is even more terrifying, that is, pure loss.
The anatomy professor who came to New York from Europe grinned and said, "To be honest, I used to feel very satisfied when I was in Europe, but when I arrived in New York...... Let me go back to Europe and endure the pitiful amount of money, and I am afraid I will not be able to bear it. Unfortunately, our labs are purely money-solving. There's no way to make money like Mr. Ehrlich! ”
No one will be dissatisfied with the conditions at Heinz Medical School.
Historically, Edison established the world's first research team. Relying on the people hired to accumulate patents for him, he has the title of the king of invention in later generations. Bayer's research building, which was invested by more than one million marks, brought them aspirin and hailuoyin, and created a huge amount of wealth. It is because of them that the Western world has begun to place more and more emphasis on scientific research – and there will be more and more large-scale investments. It is for this reason that the Second Industrial Revolution will be led by educated scientists, rather than by experienced craftsmen, as was the case with the First Industrial Revolution.
But even so, the investment of Heinz Medical School is still amazing.
At least the anatomy professor never imagined that not only would everyone in his lab have their own microscopes, but even the students would be guaranteed one for each of them! In his opinion, such investment can no longer be described simply as luxury! Moreover, the top-notch research environment also made him always a little worried, for fear that such an investment would suddenly be cut off one day, and he who had already been used to it might not be able to accept a return to the past state......
"I don't think it's impossible!"
Amid the laughter of the others, John couldn't help but touch his nose and said with a smile.
"Huh?"
As John finished saying this, the office quickly fell silent, and the self-deprecating smiles of the others disappeared, and they looked at the headmaster in surprise.
It may sound like a joke, but it's John? Huntelaar!
None of the people present were outsiders, all of them were one of John's most important subordinates, so they naturally knew his family history and the industry under his name. This guy has been working miracles since he was fourteen or fifteen years old, from bicycle lane cars, from storage batteries to aspirin, from sulfonamides to antitoxin serums, and later alternating current and radio, which one doesn't make a lot of money? Even if he innovates a sport, he can make two money-making companies, Nike and Adidas!
If he says he can make money, then maybe he can!
"But ......"
After a little hesitation, Ehrlich frowned and asked: "The annual expenses of our school are really too great, even if our institute can invent a new drug every year, half of the ten percent of the net profit will be rewarded to individuals, and only five percent will be given to the school, which is probably ......."
"No, no, I didn't mean your institute!"
Shaking his head, John said with a smile: "And in addition to new drugs, other laboratories don't necessarily only spend money." For example, the purpose of my invitation to the meeting today is to arrange the tasks of various laboratories after I go to Europe, and many of them will be profitable in the future......"
……
"Buzz ......"
The professors all left the room with strange expressions on their faces, whispering.
Professor Osler, who had stayed on purpose, blinked, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Huntelaar, what did you just say...... Did you come up with it in the last few days? ”
"Of course not!"
Without hesitation, John shook his head and smiled: "It should be said that this is an idea that I have accumulated over the past year...... Haha, you know, I subscribe to almost every medical journal in Europe and a lot of times I find inspiration from there! It would be an exaggeration to say that there are so many in such a short period of time! ”
"Do you think that's not an exaggeration?"
After hearing this, Osler couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly.
Osler's heart raced a little at the thought of what the dean had just left behind: from anatomy to physiology, from disease descriptions to clinical applications, and even the invention of diagnostic instruments, it was hard to believe that this was what one person thought of in a year!
And......
"These ideas sound very reasonable!"
Biting his lip, Osler's mind couldn't help but drift to the invention that could record the electrical activity of the heart. He had heard that there were doctors in Europe who were studying electrocardiograms, and a few years ago there was a Dutchman who even recorded the waveform of the heart from the surface of his body. It's just that the method is too complex and the technology is too backward to be practical. But no one has ever had such an idea as Mr. Huntelaar...... Or rather, with his strength, the world's most advanced Tesla labs and medical experts work together to improve this examination equipment!
Thinking about it, Osler couldn't help but look forward to it: "If, as Mr. Huntelaar said, it can be easy to record the electrical activity of the heart in the future and use it to judge the condition, then I am really looking forward to this so-called electrocardiogram ......" (To be continued. )
