Chapter 50: The Coming Change
Before you know it, winter is here again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
One day near the end of the year, John took his wife Anna to Huntelaar General Hospital to give her a comprehensive physical examination. Although she has always had no problems with her body and is very healthy because of her regular exercise, John still plans to let her have a check-up every year since her fortieth birthday.
Today, Huntelaar General Hospital is well positioned to provide this service.
With the establishment of the world's second laboratory department, Heinz General Hospital now has an X-ray room, an electrocardiogram room, and more. Although the equipment is not the same as the one used in the previous life, it is okay to do the simplest checks. Therefore, under John's subtle influence, now Heinz General Hospital has begun to have special personnel to study imaging medicine, began to study various waveforms of electrocardiograms, and by the way, one paper after another has been released......
"Very healthy and without any problems!"
Holding Anna's physical examination report form, Thomas read it carefully and came to a conclusion: "But you know, there are still a few test results that will not come out later......"
The boss's wife came for a physical examination, and the hospital naturally went all out, but the examination ports of some laboratories will definitely not come out immediately, and there is no such advanced technology in these years.
"Hehe, it's okay."
Nodding without surprise, John breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to Anna and smiled: "Okay, today's inspection is over, you go back first, I still have something to talk to Thomas and them." “
"Good...... Thomas, come and sit at home on the weekends if you have time. ”
After gently extending an invitation to Thomas, Anna left the hospital on her own. He knew that John had been coming to the hospital less and less often in recent years, so it was not surprising that he would stay late every time he came and go home.
"Hehe, did you notice anything?"
After Anna left his office, Thomas suddenly smiled in a very strange tone: "I always have a feeling that Anna seems to be more and more like a Chinese...... Listen to the tone of her invitation to me just now, is it exactly the same as those Chinese students? Haha, as you said, Oriental culture is indeed very influential......"
"Huh? Uh......"
For Thomas's brain-opening, John could only roll his eyes speechlessly.
Of course, he knew that because of himself, some Chinese students would often be invited to the family as guests, and slowly Anna got used to it, and at the same time learned the polite way of Chinese. However, Thomas's joke does point to the current situation, that is, with the exemplary role of Yan Fuqing and the increasing number of Chinese students who have obtained bachelor's degrees, more and more Chinese are entering Heinz Medical School. Just a few months ago, the 1909 enrollment of Heinz Medical School was completed, and a total of 140 students were enrolled, of which 9 were Chinese!
That's more than any other year in the past!
Like popular fields such as automobiles, airplanes, and chemicals, medicine is now very popular among Chinese people. And don't forget, it's just Heinz Medical School, because John? Mr. Huntelaar's own identity and influence among Chinese students, more students have been admitted to medical schools at Harvard, Hopkins and Columbia, adding up to more than 40 this year!
These young Chinese people have received the best American medical education.
John was of course optimistic about this situation, and he took great care of these medical students, often inviting them to his home or giving them a lecture in person. Following Yan Fuqing last year, two more Chinese students plan to return to China this year, and John has arranged a place for them to go early......
The small talk between the two soon stopped.
As the head of the Huntelaar medical system, Thomas certainly didn't have that much free time, but before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said with a smile: "By the way, do you remember Mr. Freud in Vienna?" ”
"The Interpretation of Dreams?"
Slightly stunned, John was a little uncertain about the name of a person.
"Yes, it's Mr. Freud who wrote 'The Interpretation of Dreams.'"
Nodding, Thomas smiled: "Mr. Figoman, a professor of psychology, sent me an invitation to attend a gathering of psychologists held over the weekend, in which in addition to American psychologists such as William James, Tietchener, and Carter, Mr. Freud was also invited...... I remember you seemed interested in him, would you like to see him then? ”
"That's right...... Forget it! ”
After hesitating for a moment, John finally shook his head. If he had gone back twenty years, even ten years ago, he would have been very excited to meet the famous Mr. Freud, but nowadays, John is no longer interested in the founder of the psychoanalytic school. In fact, he had no interest in the so-called psychoanalytic school and more in behaviorism - of course, the psychology book in the previous university was very superficial, and John only scratched the surface.
John had more important people to meet this weekend than to see Freud......
……
The New York sky was overcast all weekend.
But no matter how cold the weather outside is, how biting the north wind is, in John? There was no chill in Mr. Huntelaar's study. Heating pipes are laid throughout the house to keep the whole building warm, and even a thin jacket is enough. In order to equip his home and hospital with heating, John even did not hesitate to set up a Huntelaar heating company, and now after so many years of development, the company's heating pipes have covered the small half of Manhattan, and basically the slightly more advanced homes have been heated, which is also a little family business that John has inadvertently saved.
John, who was in a good mood, knocked on the report on the table, nodded with a smile and said, "I have to say, you have done a good job in the Far East!" I am very satisfied...... It's still the old rule, you can get a $1.6 million bonus, and you can take a few months off and relax. ”
"Thank you for your generosity, sir!"
The tall white man, who was older and had been a little sluggish, bowed his body and said respectfully, "But I'm afraid we don't have time to rest for the time being...... In fact, if it weren't for the importance of asking your opinion in person, I'm afraid I wouldn't have dared to leave Shanghai easily......"
"Oh? Is something going on? ”
Frowning, John asked with some confusion in his heart. In his opinion, since the rubber stock turmoil has gradually subsided, no matter how big the losses in Shanghai are, or how big the losses of Chinese and foreigners are, after all, it is already in the past, can anyone still dare to find trouble with the Huntelaar consortium?
"No, no, it's not what happened."
After a slight pause at this, the tall white man smiled slightly, "Sir, but in that distant eastern country, something is about to happen!" Believe me sir, I'm afraid there are very few people who know that country as well as I do, and I can assure you that something very remarkable is about to happen in China...... It's even going to change that country......"
"What?"
When John heard this, he couldn't hold it anymore, let out a low cry, and stood up from his chair with a bang!
Staring at the face of his subordinate, John's heart was like a storm, and he asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, what is going to happen?" Do you say ......"
As the words came to his lips, John swallowed them back again.
However, there was no trace of surprise on the face of the tall white man, but a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "Sir, it seems that you have also found out?" Hehe, then I'll be blunt, this rubber stock trend has drained the last trace of blood of the Qing Dynasty, and there have been many local riots so far this year, I believe that the rotten feudal dynasty will not last long...... Sir, we have already started to prepare. ”
"Ready? What to prepare? ”
Suppressing the tumbling of his heart, John couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, it's to fight for more benefits!"
Blinking, the tall white man smiled: "For a country that is about to change the world, it is really full of opportunities, such as those rich and weak old nobles, and those strong and dissatisfied new nobles, this will be our best chance......" (To be continued.) )
