“…… Before you know it, it's time to go. ”

With a slight frown, John quickened the speed of the pen in his hand slightly, and continued to write: "Today is the first day of 1887, and it is also the day of the opening of Heinz General Hospital, and it would be very rude if I were to be late......"

After a few random sentences, John sealed the letter, which had already been written for several pages.

"Ha ......"

After sealing the envelope with fire paint, John got up and stretched, and then yawned heavily. Turning his head to look at the bed, the butler Hans had already prepared the clothes he was going to wear today, and John put on the dress that had just been made in two clicks.

"Hehe, that's good!"

After looking left and right in front of the large floor-to-ceiling mirror for a while, John finally smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

John, who will turn twenty in a few months? Mr. Huntelaar's height was finally fixed at the level of 189 centimeters, and in this era when the average American height is about 170 centimeters, he is definitely outstanding. And because of adequate nutrition and proper exercise, John's body has long since lost the thinness of his youth, and coupled with his clean face, the whole looks full of a healthy vitality.

John was quite satisfied with his image.

Although whether it is in this era or in the future, John's appearance can definitely not be regarded as very handsome, after all, his eyes are a little too small, his nose is slightly collapsed, and more importantly, as a tall man whose height is infinitely close to 1.9 meters, his face is too thin, in Chinese terms, it is too delicate, and on the whole, it is a little incongruous, but John, who does not value it very much, is already very satisfied. And the most satisfying thing about John in his life. It was that his face was not covered with that red pimple again, and it was as clean as he had been when he was a teenager......

……

"Good morning, sir!"

"Good morning, Mr. Elber."

After going downstairs and exchanging greetings with the housekeeper, John casually asked, "Are you ready for today's breakfast?" I need to get out by half past seven...... Well, what about grandpa? ”

Hans, of course, also knew that today was a big day for Johann. Naturally, he didn't dare to slack off, so he quickly nodded and smiled: "Sir, breakfast is ready...... Your grandfather had already left ten minutes ago, but before he left, he asked me to bring you a word, I wish you a smooth opening of the hospital today! ”

"Hehe, okay, thank you."

After hearing what Hans had to say, Johann smiled.

Don't think about it, old Huntelaar must have discussed the matter of Newton Power with Tesla or Morgan. After all, the financial magnate must be much more anxious now than before.

In the past two days, the large-scale application of electric lights has become more and more lively.

After the first three days, Heinz General Hospital will not leave all the light bulbs on all night, but the 336 light bulbs on the roof will continue to be on at John's insistence - although the electricity bill of hundreds of dollars a month is a bit extravagant, which is equivalent to several more people in the hospital, but don't forget that it is 1887 now...... Oh no, it should be said that in 1888, it was the only bright sign in New York City that could be erected. That's a lot more than a big screen in Times Square more than a hundred years later, at least in the eyes of Mr. Huntelaar Jr. This is simply not something that can be measured by money!

Not to mention a few hundred dollars, tens of thousands of dollars are worth it in John's opinion!

Of course, he did burn tens of thousands of dollars for this, you must know that although the AC power plant built specifically for the hospital has a small amount of electricity, the cost is not small, and the laying of this power line is enough for people.

The only thing John regrets. There aren't many people who can have the same advertising acumen as him these days, and it's a little hard to understand why Thomas and others have to burn so many dollars every day for nothing, just so that others can see the name of the hospital at night. Even old Huntelaar did it, though he soon understood the benefits of doing so. But he complained more than once that John had wasted a great opportunity, and always tried to persuade him to change the name of the hospital to the name of the family product......

There was plenty of time, and after enjoying breakfast at his usual pace, John handed the envelope to the butler: "Mr. Elber, please send this letter." ”

"For Miss Anna again?"

As he took the letter, Hans asked casually.

In an era when there was no internet, no telephone, and even a radio was not yet made in Tesla's real room, John had to rely on two ways to communicate with his fiancée: either a telegram or an ordinary letter. John and Anna seem to prefer to write their own letters rather than telegrams from other people's hands, and usually exchange one or two letters a month, and the butler has long been accustomed to it.

"Hmm."

John nodded, and said with a smile: "The first letter of the new year, send it as much as possible, don't delay." "Yes, sir."

Hans nodded immediately, indicating that he had understood.

It's just that just when John roughly cleaned up and Shi Shiran was about to go out, the butler Hans's expression suddenly became a little hesitant, his eyes flickered frequently, and he opened his mouth to stop talking, as if he had been entangled in something.

"Mr. Elber, is there anything going on?"

Out of the corner of John's eye, he stumbled upon the change in Hans's expression, and he couldn't help but smile and ask, "I seem to have something you want to say to me, or do you have any questions?" ”

"Uh......"

Seeing that John had discovered his thoughts, Hans's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

However, Hans still had something in his heart after all, and after hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and asked with a smile; "Sir, I do have something I would like to inquire you about...... You know my eldest son, Philip, right? ”

"Oh, yes!"

Glancing at Hans with some puzzlement, John immediately nodded.

Hans had several children, and Johann was well aware of them, and in fact a large part of the reason why he was willing to go to Europe for a few years was because he could get a higher salary. The children's expenses were too great, and Hans wanted them to learn more than they could afford with an ordinary salary.

"That's right, sir."

After a short pause, Hans whispered, "I, I want Philippe to become a physician and study in Germany like you...... It's the University of Berlin, can you recommend him? ”

"What? Do you want Philip to be a physician? ”

After listening to Hans's words, Johann asked rhetorically with a pair of eyes in shock.

Hans's words did surprise John, for only a few years ago, when he had decided that he wanted to become a surgeon again, the butler had persuaded him several times. Overall, John had always thought that his butler didn't have a good opinion of the doctors.

"Yes, sir."

Faced with John's surprised gaze, Hans grinned.

In fact, Hans still doesn't know much about the work of doctors, so he naturally doesn't like it, but he now trusts John more than his own inherent prejudices? Mr. Huntelaar's choice. Johann, who had invented the light bulb, the bicycle and so many valuable things, insisted on being a surgeon, but this incident made Hans think about it for a long time, and finally made such a decision for his eldest son......

Naturally, John couldn't figure out what was going on in Hans's head, but he was happy that someone was willing to study medicine.

After a little hesitation, John suddenly seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "Mr. Elber, the University of Berlin is indeed a good school, and studying medicine there is also a very good choice!" But if you'd like to hear my opinion, I don't think it's necessary to go to Europe, at least until next year, and there will be a good option to stay in New York...... (To be continued......
