Chapter 7 Willingness
At noon, Brister Manor.
After a good meal of veal, old Huntelaar wiped his mouth and smiled, "Mrs. Brister, today's beef is excellent in texture and taste!" ”
Today, old Huntelaar is very satisfied with the chef of the Brister family. As a true gourmet, the old Huntelaar has a much more sensitive taste buds than the average person, and can naturally taste the freshness of today's ingredients and the chef's heat.
"Hehe, it's great if you like it."
After receiving the praise of old Huntelaar, Mrs. Brister was very proud.
In recent times, old Huntelaar has become a regular visitor to the Brister house, coming back almost every week or two. It was precisely when she had found out the old man's preference for food that Mrs. Brister would give the chef a special account to serve the old Huntelaar when he came......
It can be said that the couple put a lot of thought into entertaining old Huntelaar.
However, this qiē is naturally worth it, after all, the two families have a close cooperation relationship in the Lego toy factory, even if the Huntelaar family has now transferred the shares of the flying pigeon company, in Brister's opinion, it will not have any impact. Because just before lunch, the elder Huntelaar and him finally reached a cooperation agreement - the Brister family will invest 400,000 marks in the shares, occupying 10% of the shares of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company!
Mr. Brister has finally made up his mind to invest this huge amount of money!
Although the total cost of acquiring the dye factory is only about 300,000 marks, the R&D center building of Heinz Pharmaceutical Company has broken ground, and the production of the first drug aspirin has entered the countdown, according to John's plan and arrangement, the investment in the pharmaceutical company in the next three years will be as high as 4 million marks, including plant, equipment, chemists and workers. Brister's investment fits this in squarely.
Four hundred thousand marks, which is quite a huge investment.
This is the equivalent of 20,000 pounds sterling or nearly 100,000 dollars, but only 10% of the shares of a newly established company, which may seem like a foolish decision to many!
In fact, when the elder Huntlaar decided to persuade Johann to take out some of his shares to win over German collaborators, he had intended to suffer a small loss. Give some more shares. You know, how much did John spend on buying this dye factory in the first place? Now he is ready to invest a total of four million marks in the renovation, expansion, and construction of a new R&D center, which seems to old Huntelaar to be quite unreliable. So in order to be able to attract others to join, he is ready to suffer.
In the elder Huntelaar's view, it was inevitable to invite Berlin natives to take a stake in the pharmaceutical company. After all, according to John, the company's focus will be in Berlin, not New York, for at least the next ten years. So, in every way, old Huntelaar had to take into account the question of equilibrium—in the event that John was to return to New York in the future. The management of the company must have a corresponding check on it.
But after seeing the amazing effect of aspirin, old Huntelaar changed his mind almost instantly.
As for Mr. Brister's words, the reason why such a huge amount of money was invested was naturally because of John. Whether it was a bicycle or a Lego toy, Brister had received huge benefits and was therefore extremely convinced by John, the founder of both companies. So when he first learned that John had bought the dye factory, Brister subconsciously wanted to mix it up. And when Heinz Medical Devices was actually put into production, Brister's idea became even more urgent. At least for him, Baron Cole didn't care about it in the first place. There are only 20 percent of the shares in it, and now I regret it and almost vomit blood......
Brister, who knows a lot of the inside story, believes. You can't make a wrong decision.
Everyone laughed for a while, and Mrs. Brister couldn't help but be a little unhappy when she saw that the dessert had not been served, but she said with a smile on her face: "Everyone, I'll go and take a look at the dessert." ”
With that, Mrs. Brister went to the kitchen to check on the dessert. And Mrs. Brister, who was in high spirits and drank a lot, also took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, and suddenly only old Huntelaar and beautiful Miss Brister were left at the table.
"Sir."
After her father also left the table, Anna hesitated slightly, and finally asked cautiously, "How often have you seen John recently?" Mr. Huntelaar, I didn't come with you this weekend. He's in ...... What are you busy with? ”
As soon as this question was asked, Anna's little head immediately lowered.
Recently, because of the discussion of cooperation, the elder Huntelaar came to the house quite frequently, but to Anna's disappointment, John rarely came, and only once a month ago. For the girl who has left John's shadow in her heart, this really disappoints her.
Looking at the shy little girl in front of him, old Huntelaar's heart couldn't help but move.
In fact, old Huntelaar really likes young Anna, generous, decent, and very beautiful, and the most important thing is that her head is tall enough to stand with John, who is almost 1.9 meters tall.
But......
After thinking about it for a while, old Huntelaar smiled and said, "I don't know what John has been doing lately, he and another gentleman have been in a real room all day and don't know what to do, but I think that since the two of them can do this all week, it must be something very important......"
……
Not to mention how old Huntelaar was perfunctory to Anna, but at home, John and Ehrlich had just come out of the room.
"Sir, are you going to have lunch now?"
After seeing the two of them, Hans immediately stepped forward and asked.
"Gollum!"
Hearing about the meal, John's stomach suddenly growled. A little embarrassed, he took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and was startled: "It's so late? Mr. Elber, we're going to the restaurant right away! ”
Hans didn't mention it when he went to prepare lunch, and behind him Ehrlich was in a trance until John tapped him on the shoulder and pulled him to the dining room, and Ehrlich came to his senses!
"God!"
Grabbing John's arm, Ehrlich said excitedly: "Mr. Huntelaar, it turns out that in addition to the medicine that can resist bacteria, you have also invented a medicine that can reduce fever and relieve pain, this is ...... This...... It's just so exciting! ”
"Haha, thank you!"
John laughed happily when he heard this.
From the first time Ehrlich walked into his real yàn room to today, exactly a whole week.
Of course, it will not be so easy to test the effect of sulfonamides, John used two control bacterial petri dishes, a little sulfonamide that had just been prepared, and two microscopes, and then spent a week for Ehrlich to see clearly how sulfonamide inhibits the growth and reproduction of the corresponding bacteria.
As soon as he saw it clearly, he saw it clearly. 、
Today was the same weekend as the day Ehrlich came, and just in the morning, after confirming the effects of sulfonamides, John casually told me about aspirin. Of course, the specific information must be kept secret, but about the effect of aspirin or something, John naturally has no need to hide it.
At this moment, the impact on Ehrlich was great.
After seeing the effect of sulfonamides, Ehrlich's heart was full of shock, and when he heard the new antipyretic analgesics that John said, the future Nobel laureate felt that his brain was a little insufficient.
Until he finished his late lunch, Ehrlich kept asking about aspirin.
Although he had not seen the real thing or seen its cures with his own eyes, Ehrlich believed what John said. On the one hand, it is naturally because of John's identity, and on the other hand, the sulfonamides seen these days have fully proved a lot of things!
So when the two of them had eaten, John smiled and asked, "Mr. Ehrlich, how are you thinking about it?" ”
"I've thought about it."
After a moment's hesitation, Ehrlich nodded quickly.
"Oh?"
His pupils shrank suddenly, and John's expression suddenly became stern.
"Mr. Huntelaar!"
Taking a deep breath, Ehrlich said solemnly: "If you are willing to let me study my own favorite field, then I am willing to quit my current job and join your pharmaceutical company......"
……
I slept less than ten hours in three days, and I couldn't bear it. Sorry, but there's only one shift today. (To be continued......)
