“…… Then I look forward to seeing you again at Newton Power, Mr. Huntelaar. ”

Gently lifting the brim of his hat, Tesla casually took the cane handed by Hans. Today's visit to Huntelaar's house was short, but Tesla was already satisfied that he had gotten what he wanted - John promised to allocate a sum of money to support his radio research. While the money would once again dilute Tesla's own stake in the company, as a scientist, he didn't think it was a big deal, especially since the Huntelaar family had never been critical of his research.

"Haha, I'll definitely do my best."

Hahaha, John replied as a matter of course.

Radio is such an important invention, I am afraid that no one in the world will understand better than John, and he knows better that although Tesla played a very important role in the invention of radio, and the later US government finally awarded the patent to his name, but the real profit from this technology is another Italian who studied radio - Marconi.

So back in the U.S., John couldn't wait for Tesla to start the research.

The technical reserves of alternating current are enough for the time being, and Tesla's shift to radio will not have a big impact, and John believes that with the foundation of Hertz's paper and his own abundant financial support, radio technology will not be born in Tesla's hands in a short time. At least compared to Marconi, who is still a little kid, Tesla has an absolute advantage!

In this world, Tesla should not lose this patent again......

"Goodbye, Mr. Huntelaar!"

"Goodbye, Mr. Tesla!"

After watching Tesla get into the carriage and slowly leave, John took his eyes back. He asked a middle-aged man beside Hans, "Sir, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Taking advantage of the visitor's visit, Tesla didn't wait long before getting up and saying goodbye, which disappointed John, who still wanted to talk to him about financing. In addition, he didn't know the other party when he saw this middle-aged man just now, so he was a little uncomfortable at this time.

"Uh......"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head and explained, "No, no." Young man, I'm not here for you, I'm here to visit John? Mr. Huntelaar's! ”

After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Hans couldn't help frowning: "This gentleman, are you sure you have found the right place?" Because this is John? Mr. Huntelaar! ”

"What?!"

It's like someone suddenly pinched his neck and stuffed a big duck egg that hasn't been peeled, the middle-aged man's mouth almost opened into a big circle, and a pair of blue eyes almost protruded from the eye sockets!

After seeing the other party's expression, John immediately knew what was going on.

In fact, when these years were in Europe. Especially in the last two years, John has encountered this situation I don't know how many times. You don't have to think about it to know that the other party probably came here after seeing John's papers or hearing about his reputation, but I didn't expect to find out after seeing the real person that the so-called Mr. Huntelaar was so young! If at the beginning, John was amused to it, even faintly complacent, after experiencing this situation countless times, he was already used to it. I'm even starting to get a little impatient.

So without hesitating anything, John smiled faintly and said, "Sir." If you're looking for a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, or a surgeon at Charlotte Hospital, John? Huntelaar's words, I think it should be looking for me...... Who are you? Is there anything looking for me? ”

"Goo-dong!"

After listening to John's words, the visitor couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of spit, and finally came back to his senses.

"It is an honour to meet you, Dear Mr. Huntelaar!"

The person who came resisted the shock in his heart. He stepped forward and stretched out his right hand: "I have read all your papers, and I have to say that whether it is local anesthesia technology, new disinfection technology, or appendectomy, you have created a new era in surgery!" These are great achievements in the field of surgery! ”

"Thank you!"

His brow furrowed slightly. John shook hands with the other and nodded nonchalantly. The visitor didn't answer his question just now and introduce his identity, which made John really impatient.

The middle-aged man obviously also saw the subtle change in John's expression, and at the same time, he was shocked and suddenly realized his rudeness, and hurriedly said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Huntelaar, I'm Michael from Columbia College School of Medicine?" Edelman, it's a pleasure to meet you! ”

"Columbia College?"

After listening to the middle-aged man's self-introduction, John's heart suddenly moved.

Although he didn't know much about the specific historical details, after hearing the name Columbia College, John subconsciously thought of the future Columbia University, because the names of the two were just one university and the other college. And for Columbia University School of Medicine, John the Traverser? Mr. Huntelaar has been known for a long time.

Columbia University School of Medicine, one of the earliest medical schools established in the United States, should be said to enjoy a great reputation in the United States and even the world. And in John's memory, a colleague from their hospital had been here for two years as a visiting scholar, and he spoke highly of it when he returned home.

"I'm glad to meet you, too, Mr. Edelman."

While recalling the bits and pieces of information he knew about Columbia University School of Medicine, John nodded politely and smiled, "Mr. Edelman, why don't we go into the room and talk, okay?" ”

"Thank you."

At John's invitation, Mr. Edelman finally breathed a sigh of relief and went into the house with his master.

After the two sat down in the living room, John nodded at Hans, motioned for the other to prepare two cups of coffee, and then asked with a smile: "Mr. Edelman, please forgive me for my presumptuousness, but I am a little curious, how did you know my address?" ”

"Mr. Welch."

Edelman was stunned when he heard this, and immediately explained: "Mr. Huntelaar, Mr. Welch of Hopkins University knows about your return to New York, and he also got the address of your home from him. ”

"Oh, it's him!"

After listening to Edelman's explanation, it dawned on John.

Although he had previously turned down Welch's invitation and decided not to take up a professorship at Hopkins University, John was quite curious about the important figure in the history of American medicine, so he kept in touch with him infrequently. So before leaving Europe, John wrote a letter to Welch, informing him that he was going to New York, and leaving an address for future correspondence. Unexpectedly, before receiving the other party's letter, he recruited someone from Columbia College.

But in this case......

Looking at Mr. Edelman with a sincere face in front of him, John had vaguely guessed something.

The new disinfection technology is not mentioned for the time being, after all, the acceptance of this aspect by the United States is certainly not as good as that of Europe, but the power of local anesthesia and appendectomy, John is quite clear. So after two or three years of precipitation and fermentation, John? The name Huntelaar has begun to gradually become louder in the hearts of many attentive surgeons.

So after a slight pause, John smiled and asked, "Mr. Edelman, can I ask you why you came to me?" ”

"Sir, your coffee!"

At this moment, Hans, the butler, came over with two cups of coffee.

After the steaming coffee was placed on the table, the faint smell quickly wafted to the noses of the two of them, but at this time, Edelman didn't have the heart to taste any coffee, and his expression gradually became solemn.

Faintly, John noticed a hint of hesitation on his face.

However, it was only a moment's work, and Mr. Edelman quickly took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Huntelaar, I have come to visit you this time to hire you as a professor of the College of Surgery on behalf ......of Columbia College School of Medicine" (to be continued......
