Chapter 14: Return to Charlotte

"John, how can you promise him?"

As soon as Baron Cole got into the car and left, Brister frowned and said: "Don't look at the steel mill that has not paid you dividends yet, it is because the investment is too huge, and there will be a large amount of dividends in two years at most, how can a medical device company compare?" Your trading ...... today Alas, what a loss! ”

In these years, steel mills are undoubtedly one of the most profitable industries.

Now is not the time when steel prices were super cheap in 1900, the steel industry in Germany and the United States is now in the fastest growing period, with production skyrocketing every year, and prices are still a profiteering industry. In particular, the only stainless steel mill in Europe, at least in Mr. Brister's opinion, is far from being comparable to Heinz Medical Devices, and even this company is very profitable!

"Haha, it doesn't matter."

Blinking, John waved his hand nonchalantly and smiled: "Anyway, my shares in the steel mill are so small, I can't lose much if I can exchange them for two shares in a medical device company." ”

Baron Cole walked away with a happy face after exchanging the shares of Heinz Medical for the shares of the stainless steel mill, because he did not expect John to be willing to give up the shares of the steel mill, and even offered to exchange the two directly. In this way, Baron Cole will not care about the high price offered by that person, and he will pat his chest to ensure the supply of stainless steel from medical device companies in the future.

As for John's words, it doesn't matter even more.

His development center has always been in the medical industry, and the stainless steel patent was just because it was needed, and he was able to get all the shares of the medical device company back, and it didn't matter if he suffered a little loss now. As for the future......

Whoever suffers, then will know.

John thinks about everything very openly. But Brister was still indignant, calculating how many marks his son-in-law had lost in the deal. However, John had already turned his mind to the person who wanted to buy the shares of the medical device company, although Baron Cole was resolutely reluctant to say, but faintly, John always had a feeling that the other party should be his acquaintance......

Maybe it's because life is too comfortable, and Anna is too cute. The planned one-week leisure plan was unconsciously extended by John for a week.

The two weeks were very pleasant.

During this period, he and Baron Cole completed the exchange of shares, and John completely gave up the little stake in the steel mill in exchange for full ownership of Heinz Medical Devices, and then sold it to his husband for 10% of the shares at a low price of 500,000 marks. In the current situation of Heinz Medical Devices, the estimate of five million marks is obviously very low, but John wants to find a reliable person to help watch, so naturally he will not care about this loss. In fact, Mr. Brister wanted to take more, and John wanted to give more. It's just a pity that the Brister family's stall is too big now, and they can't come up with too much money for a while, so they have to buy ten percent first.

After taking a long time, John also went to look at his house.

The area of the manor is not too large, and the main thing inside is a classic three-story building, but the old Huntelaar has made this building quite magnificent, especially the hall on the first floor is hundreds of square meters, which is enough for ordinary balls. The main body of the estate has been completed. All that remains is the decoration of the garden and the renovation of the main building, which will be completed in two or three months at the latest.

This year, there is no pollution in the decoration. John will definitely be able to live in Europe before he leaves.

Two weeks later, Howard? Kelly ended his month-long study and exchange in London and finally arrived at Berlin train station, and John's leisurely days finally came to an end......

……

"So, I don't like it."

Looking at the dense crowd of human heads in the hall, John's face was really a little unsightly.

Originally, it was just a very ordinary party. John invited thirty or forty old friends, most of whom were figures in the medical field, but he never imagined that the hall was densely packed with people, and it seemed that there were almost a hundred!

"Yes. There are some that should have been brought by your friends. ”

Anna bit her pink lip, gently grabbed John's arm and chuckled, "Okay, don't worry, it's your guest anyway!" ”

"Okay."

With a wry smile again, John said to Anna beside him, "I just think it's okay if it's all my old friends I invited, but if there are other people...... It's really boring to have a bunch of people crowded in a hall, constantly greeting people and then saying polite words......"

"But what?"

Blinking a pair of big eyes, Anna asked with a mischievous smile.

"But ......"

John spread his hands and said even more helplessly: "On the other hand, it is also a little beneficial, holding such a banquet may be the best and easiest way, to be able to meet these people, otherwise it will sound even more troublesome if you visit them one by one!" ”

In any era, there is an unstoppable trend.

At the end of the 19th century, not to mention the convenience of the Internet, even the telephone appeared less than a decade, and it was extremely expensive, and people mainly relied on letters and meetings to communicate. For example, Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes happened to be in this era, but all the clients had to write a letter to say the time first, and then come in person......

The prom of the rich is naturally one of the best communication methods.

In the 21st century, there are many ways to communicate information, telephones and the Internet are so developed, Americans are still called party creatures, let alone this era. On the other hand, the extremely scarce means of entertainment in this era is also one of the reasons for the birth of the prom culture, there is no Internet, no television, no radio, and entertainment methods other than reading must be participated in. Coupled with the low status of women in this era, only the poorest women would come out to work, and all kinds of balls or salons naturally became the most important thing for women......

The Huntelaar family is now one of the most popular families in Berlin.

John now has three major industries in Germany, and Heinz Medical Devices is not going to be able to enter the eyes of the real big people for the time being. But General Motors and Heinz Pharmaceuticals have been the most talked-about companies in the last three years. General Motors' Aurora is a big toy that almost every man dreams of, and the small production capacity and the difficulty of booking make him a symbol of aristocratic or wealthy status, as for Heinz Pharmaceutical, it is even more amazing, local anesthetics, aspirin and sulfonamides, although there are only three categories of six products, but because there are no competitors at all. But it is the most beautiful in the entire drug market, and anyone can see the glorious future of this company.

John's previous deliberately low-key has slowly failed.

Now that the family is big, coupled with the deliberate actions of old Huntelaar, people with a little energy can know who the real owners of these companies are with a little inquiry, so this is also the reason why the scale of today's ball is beyond John's imagination......

Well, habitually far away.

Whether John liked it or not, he was the master of today's ball, and soon another group of people came over. model for these people. The main purpose is to get to know Mr. Huntelaar first, and no fool will just talk about anything else. So patiently dealing with these people, John finally took Anna and squeezed around Professor Bergman.

"I'm sorry, Professor Bergman, Professor Wolfgang!"

Before everyone could say hello, John apologized with a bitter face: "Originally, I only invited some old friends, but I didn't expect it...... I didn't know there would be so many people! “

"Uh...... I'd like to say sorry for us. ”

After the two professors glanced at each other, Bergman smiled slightly awkwardly.

At first, I was a little confused. However, it soon dawned on John that he understood what the other party meant. It looks like today's gathering. I'm afraid that the two professors also brought someone over, so they are naturally one of the culprits in this situation.

But after looking at each other and smiling, everyone didn't care.

After chatting for a while, Professor Bergman smiled and said, "John, you are going to stay in Berlin for a long time this time, are you interested in continuing to work at Charlotte Hospital?" Ha ha. Of course, you can decide the specific work yourself, and I am only responsible for arranging it. ”

Regardless of his tone or expression, Professor Bergman was joking.

But after listening to this suggestion, John smiled and nodded, "Okay! It just so happens that I have some ideas. Get ready to try it at Charlotte Hospital, and if you're interested, great! ”

"Huh?"

The unexpected answer made Bergman and Wolfgang stunned at the same time.

Originally, it was just a joke, but I didn't expect John to really have such an idea, how could this not surprise Professor Bergman? However, after a pause, Bergman immediately nodded in surprise and said, "No problem, if that's the case...... Why don't you talk about it in my office tomorrow? ”

John now is not the young man Bergman admired a few years ago.

With the development of surgical sterilization, local anesthesia and appendectomy in the field of surgery, especially in the last year, it has really become the focus of attention for surgeons throughout Europe. Excluding those old stubborns and those who are too poor, it can be said that nearly 1 in 10 surgeons are learning or have mastered these techniques, and these doctors are often the most influential. So seriously, John? Huntelaar has become one of the top surgeons out there.

And......

As long as you have worked with John, I am afraid you can find his endless good ideas, even if such a guy only works for two or three months, Professor Bergman is very happy, not to mention that John still comes with ideas.

Because of John's previous success, the Department of Surgery at Charlotte Hospital has also been in the limelight for the past two years.

New surgical sterilization, local anesthesia and appendectomy were almost all done here, and after John left Europe, Professor Bergman naturally became the place to be the place of attention. Especially in the last year, with the gradual expansion of the influence of several technologies, more doctors came here to learn, and there were many invitations to conferences, which can be said to be a solid benefit......

So as soon as he heard that John had a new idea, Professor Bergman naturally wanted to give his full support!

"Okay, it's ten o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Without any hesitation, John simply made an appointment with Professor Bergman.

Although the hospital in New York is more in line with John's vision and the future prospects are more promising, in the short term, Charlotte Hospital is undoubtedly stronger and more influential, so John has long planned to carry out some things on both sides at the same time......

Everyone was chatting to themselves, and out of the corner of John's eye, he suddenly saw a person not far away, and immediately waved his hand: "Howard, come, this way!" ”

Hear John's call, Howard? Kelly immediately walked over.

Gently patting Kelly on the shoulder, John smiled at Professor Bergman and said, "Professor, this is my colleague Howard in New York?" Mr. Kelly, he is an obstetrician and gynaecologist, and he has come to Berlin to study with Professor Werner for a while, can you help arrange it......" (To be continued......
