"Happy New Year, Mr. Huntelaar!"

"Happy New Year, Mr. Elber!"

On January 1, 1885, when Johann got up and saw Hans the butler for the first time, the two smiled and said Happy New Year to each other.

In 1885, it finally came!

In John's exclamation, Hans prepared a much richer breakfast than usual, and the hot bread and coffee made John feel refreshed, and his slightly lazy body bones finally began to slowly emerge with a trace of vitality.

"John, do you have any New Year's wishes?"

Putting down the cup in his hand, old Huntelaar looked at John and asked with a smile.

"The most important thing is, of course, to get a PhD!"

Without any consideration at all, John smiled without hesitation: "Secondly, I hope that several of my studies can get satisfactory results...... By the way, I also hope that the hospital in New York will start construction smoothly, preferably before I go back! ”

"Uh......"

When he heard this, old Huntelaar's face darkened, and he closed his mouth and said nothing.

Just two days ago, John finally told old Huntelaar about the plan to build a hospital in Manhattan, at first the old man thought that John was talking about an ordinary small clinic, but when he listened to the specific construction plan and the cost required, the whole person suddenly felt a little bad - a four-story building covering an area of thousands of square meters, at least 100,000 US dollars in construction funds, every number made old Huntelaar tremble!

This kid is absolutely insane!

Old Huntelaar could not have agreed to this request, of course, and refused on the spot.

However, the elder Huntelaar eventually underestimated his grandson's resilience, starting with his rejection of the plan. Every now and then, John reminded him of how he had promised him that he would be in control of the money he earned......

As John's grandfather. He really wanted to tell his grandson that you don't have so much money and can't afford to build such a hospital. But as an honest businessman, he must tell John his true net worth at this time: not counting the shares of a few factories, this year's dividend alone is nearly 40,000 US dollars, and this is under the premise of Joshua's desperate expansion, otherwise it will at least triple!

But next year will be different, the company that has completed the initial layout will usher in the real harvest period, when a large amount of dollars will be credited, plus the dividends of Lego bricks and some of John's original cash, it will definitely not be a problem to spend two years building a hospital.

Merely......

Old Huntlaar frowned. He said earnestly: "John, according to your advice, I will start looking for the guy named Tesla when I go back and fund his research on alternating current, which will definitely cost a lot of money...... And even if you get your Ph.D., you're only 16 years old, and you'll only be 18 years old when you return to New York in two years, do you really need to build a hospital that big? If it is really built, I am afraid that it will be in the top three in the whole of New York City, right? ”

"You'll find out if there's a need."

John raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "And if the funds are insufficient, don't I still have a tungsten light bulb here?" I want to go along with the words of lì. It should be no problem to sell bamboo silk bulbs for two or three times the price, right? ”

"This ......"

After hearing that John was a bastard, old Huntelaar's face darkened again.

If a few years ago, when John sold the bamboo light bulb, the old Huntelaar still did not understand the development prospects of electric light, then a few years later, he has fully understood the value of tungsten light bulb. Good stuff like this is definitely not to be taken out. It is best to build a factory by yourself to produce and sell. In fact, he already has a preliminary plan in the past few days, just waiting for a suitable time.

After pondering and pondering, old Huntelaar found that unless he really broke his promise. Otherwise, there is really no way to stop John!

"Bastard boy!"

While muttering secretly in his heart, old Huntelaar casually perfunctory: "Okay." I think it's better to put this matter aside for now, and we'll discuss it later......"

……

New Year's Day is definitely a holiday. But from the 2nd, people began to get busy going to work one after another.

Old Huntelaar didn't have to worry about John now, he either visited his sister or old friends every day, or he was accompanied by Hans to visit Berlin, which had been away for twenty years, and if it wasn't too cold, he even wanted to use this time for an in-depth trip to Germany, where he had not been in a unified Germany.

The only thing John regretted was that Joshua was leaving soon.

With the full support of Baron Cole and Mr. Brist, together with the industrial workers of the German Gao Su zhì, the preparation of the bicycle factory was unusually smooth. Joshua was a little stunned, after all, the local industry also needed his care, and it was enough to keep one or two financial supervisors here.

John regretted that Joshua hadn't talked to each other a few times this time.

Perhaps this is one of the prices he has to pay after choosing medicine, both of them are busy with their own careers, and it is already a very luxurious wish to be able to sit quietly and enjoy their leisure time as before......

……

While John was busy in the physiology room and Charlotte Hospital, the first issue of The Lancet magazine after the New Year was printed in London, England.

Although the publication of the journal was two days later than expected because of the temporary publication of Mr. John Huntelaar's paper, both Mr. Graham and Mr. Fass thought it was worth it. Because in the three visits before the New Year, in addition to Mr. Henry of St. Mary's Hospital, who scoffed at the thesis, Mr. Felton of the University of Cambridge and Mr. Hampling of the Royal Society all gave the article a very high evaluation, especially Mr. Felton, and even on the day he got the paper, he couldn't wait to find a dozen students and stay in the real room for a whole day!

There is no doubt that the real yàn confirms the value of the paper!

To the delight of Mr. Graham, who was both assertive and somewhat apprehensive, Mr. Fass immediately arranged for an article to be replaced in the next issue. For this reason, he did not hesitate to postpone the publication of the magazine, and incurred losses of tens of pounds for it. And with the efforts of the two. John's first paper was finally published on the third day after the New Year.

A full week before Bergman's paper was published in German Medicine......

……

In the second week of the new year, as soon as he got to work, John was called into his office by Professor Bergman. The professor handed him a magazine with a smile on his face, and said happily: "Johan, this is the latest issue of "German Medicine", and the article on new disinfection technology is at the front, you can take a look." ”

"Huh? Already out? ”

Surprised to take the magazine, John was really shocked in his heart.

Bergman pitches his manuscript in two or three weeks at most, right? Even if the German Medical Journal is located in Berlin, this speed is too intimidating!

If a general practitioner wants to publish a paper in a top journal, even if the quality is good, it will probably take several months, and it will be published in more than a month after submission. Either the authors are experts with considerable prestige and the quality of the manuscripts is high enough, or the level of the magazine is too low, and the manuscript sources are too few, and they will survive by collecting pages.

But......

This is "German Medicine", dear!

Suddenly, John had a new understanding of the efficiency of this era, and of course, he also realized more about the backwardness of medicine and the lack of scientific research atmosphere in this era.

The medical center of the first half century was in Paris, the French people raised the importance of combining teaching and clinical practice, and the medical center of the second half century was in Germany. It's because the Germans combine research, teaching and clinical practice. It was from this time that clinicians began to put research in a very important position, and the Germans were thus at the forefront of the world medical field. But even so, the journal German Medicine can be published within two or three weeks of receiving the manuscript. While this illustrates the quality of the manuscript, it also hints at the lack of high-quality papers at this time.

"It will take some time for the real big development......"

I was secretly pondering in my heart. John couldn't wait to flip through the magazine in his hand. In any case, this is the first paper published in his life, although only as a second author. But emotionally it is naturally different!

A brand new magazine, still emitting a charming scent of ink.

I went through the papers with my name on them. John was still quite satisfied. It has to be said that Bergman is not only an excellent surgeon, but also a qualified scientist, the thesis is quite well written, the arguments are clear, the arguments are detailed, and the final results and discussions are very convincing, at least on his own merits, John must be ashamed of himself.

It only took John two or three minutes to go through the paper, then nodded and smiled: "Thank you, Professor Bergman, I think today will be a day I will remember for the rest of my life!" ”

"Haha, you deserve it!"

Bergman was also very happy, and waved his hand again and again: "In fact, you should be the first author of this paper, and I put myself first in order to promote this new technology as much as possible...... However, I have explained in detail in my paper, and no one can deny your achievements. ”

"Thank you."

Smiling slightly, John expressed his gratitude again.

Whatever Bergman thinks, the fact that he can do it as first author can accelerate the adoption of new technologies and surgeons. After all, as a professor of surgery at the University of Berlin, Bergman's reputation was not comparable to that of John, otherwise he would not have published his paper so quickly.

Besides......

This was originally discovered by Bergman, and John naturally did not feel guilty about it.

After a brief conversation, John was about to take his leave, but Bergman stopped him again: "John, there is one more thing, and here is a letter to you, from The Lancet in London...... Presumably the paper you submitted was published, can you ask what it is about? ”

Looking at John quietly, Bergman's face was full of curiosity.

Of course he knew about The Lancet, in fact he had subscribed to the magazine since a few years ago, and had submitted several papers. But when he saw the letter today, Bergman was taken aback!

This letter is for John!

A medical journal that writes a letter to a prospective physician, then the only possibility is that there is some kind of connection between the two, and given John's current identity and resume, then there can only be one such connection, and that is that he submitted to The Lancet!

According to common sense, there is no need to reply to a paper that a scientific journal is going to reject, so since The Lancet sent this letter to John, it must mean that his manuscript has been accepted, and judging by the thickness and weight of the letter, I am afraid that there are at least two magazines attached to it!

That is, John has just published a paper in The Lancet as well!

How could this not surprise Bergman?

Also surprised was John, who received the letter with his eyes wide open in disbelief: I'm afraid it's only a month since this paper was issued, right? Are magazine editors so efficient in this era?

After being stunned for a moment, John casually responded to Professor Bergman's question while opening the thick letter: "It's a paper on blood physiology, which I usually make at home and in the physiology room, but I didn't expect it to ......be published so quickly" (to be continued......
