"Thomas, I'm going to build a factory in Shanghai, a pharmaceutical factory!"

As soon as the topic changed, John continued excitedly: "Over the years, I have asked them to train a lot of workers, enough to afford the operation of a small pharmaceutical factory. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSo there is a ship that is loaded with factory machinery and equipment, and there are technicians who accompany it......"

"Uh......"

After listening to John's words, Thomas was speechless.

He knew that his boss had a lot of affection for that ancient country in the East, but to build a pharmaceutical factory there? God, doesn't John know how skilled it takes to produce these drugs? Until now, the major pharmaceutical companies in Europe are still desperately catching up with the Huntelaar pharmaceutical company, even if the patent expires, they can imitate it casually, but the quality and cost of the product have never been able to match, can that backward country be stronger than Europe?

But thinking about John's stubbornness, Thomas could only nod with a wry smile: "Okay, build a pharmaceutical factory or something...... As long as you're happy......"

……

In September 1910, Osler and Ehrlich left New York.

Nearly 30 years have passed since he met Thomas while studying in Berlin, to the completion of the Huntelaar General Hospital in 1887 and the establishment of the medical school by Johann to the departure of Osler and Ehrlich. The older generation of entrepreneurs is either retiring, leaving, or holding on like Thomas, but no matter what, the natural metabolism is unstoppable.

Take Harvey? Cushing is the representative of the newcomers to the Huntelaar medical system.

From the beginning to the present, the Huntelaar Medical School has taken the elite route. In 1891, the Huntelaar Medical School enrolled 10 students, and finally enrolled 9; In 1910, the Huntelaar Medical School enrolled 160 students and eventually enrolled 160. For a very long time to come, 160 will be the maximum enrollment at Huntelaar Medical College. Because according to their teaching plan, every student will spend a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources by the time they graduate, ensuring that they are cultivating real elites in the medical field!

Cultivating a qualified physician is never easy.

For example, in the first two years, they will receive rigorous laboratory training to understand the human body structure with human corpses, rabbits, rats and dogs to understand various physiological and pathological changes, and understand the mechanism of action of drugs. In the next two years, they will go to the hospital to learn about the writing of medical records, the symptoms of various diseases, and the development of various examinations and treatment methods......

Corpses, laboratory animals, clinical drugs, and so on, all need to be supported with money!

So a hundred years from now, the number of students enrolled in American medical schools is often very small, because they need to consume a lot of resources. At the same time, the tuition fees for medical students are also extremely expensive, ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars to three or four hundred thousand! Most medical school students rely on bank loans to study, and the banking industry has never hesitated to help these high-quality customers who will earn at least $100,000 in the future......

So in 1910, the tuition at Huntelaar Medical School had risen to $1,000 a year!

This price is very high, so high that it once caused an uproar in the public opinion circles. But when Huntelaar Bank announced that it would offer low-interest loans to all Huntelaar Medical College students, and when Huntelaar General Hospital announced that it would raise the salaries of residents to a minimum of $1,200 a year and attending physicians to a minimum of $3,400, all doubts disappeared.

An annual salary of $1,200 is equivalent to at least four dollars a day!

This level is already the same as the level of the front-line workers of the Huntelaar consortium, and 3,400 US dollars in New York in 1910 was an absolute gold-collar family! At this level, what is a thousand dollars in tuition? As long as you can become an attending physician in the future, you can earn back the tuition fee for four years in one year......

Regardless of the impact on other medical schools, one thing is very realistic, that is, in 1910, the Huntelaar Medical School enrolled 160 students, but the number of applicants exceeded 4,000 for the first time, and the admission ratio was as high as 25:1!

You know, those who dare to apply for the exam are the real elites!

Because John? The emergence of Huntelaar and the elite training model of the future medical school in the United States seem to have begun in advance......

……

The enrollment of new students represents the graduation of old students.

In July 1910, 134 students received their doctorate certificates from the Huntelaar Medical School. As in the past few years, each of them had received numerous invitations a few months ago, including from major medical schools and their affiliated hospitals in the United States. The salaries offered are no lower than those offered at Huntelaar General Hospital, and they often have more attractive conditions: for example, they can be treated independently without residency training, or they can skip the transition between lecturer and associate professor and go straight to the rank of professor in medical school.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the American medical profession was so chaotic!

However, this also expresses a meaning from the side, that is, the Huntelaar Medical School in 1910 is in full swing! Because in the past 20 years, Osler has used the quality of graduates to tell Americans one thing, that is, the physicians trained by the Huntelaar School of Medicine are the best doctors in the United States and the world, and they are also the best professors in medical school!

The greatness of this is easiest to prove with a single number.

In the past 15 years, 1,455 students have graduated from Huntelaar Medical College, including 1,101 who have received "licenses" from Huntelaar General Hospital, these students have published more than 30,000 papers, and nearly 200 have become professors in various medical schools!

In the United States at the beginning of the 20th century, medical professors were not very valuable.

There are many young professors in their twenties in those small private medical schools, not to mention the elites trained by the Huntelaar Medical School. It's just that compared with those bad schools, these elites prefer famous schools such as Harvard, Princeton and Columbia, especially the Ivy League Northeast Ten Schools, which have more than 60 graduates who have been promoted to professorship over the years, accounting for almost half of the number of professors in each school......

So a few years ago, John had to come to terms with brain drain.

After all, the capacity of the Huntelaar medical system is limited, and even if new hospitals are constantly expanded in recent years, it is impossible to accommodate more than 100 graduates a year in one go, not to mention that the attraction of other places is not weak at all. In recent years, almost every year, a third of students have left the country, and this proportion is increasing.

But......

When a graduate of the class of 1897 and a graduate of the class of 1903 came to John's office and asked him for help, he was still amazed by their bold ideas! (To be continued.) )
