Chapter 6 Once upon a time

Although it was late at home, and old Huntelaar complained, John was in a very happy mood.

He could see that Ehrlich was moved.

Although the big bull didn't agree on the spot, because John wanted him to quit his job at Charlotte Hospital and join Heinz Pharmaceutical Company for a while to study these things full-time, which was a bit unreliable for Ehrlich. But after hearing about the properties of sulfonamides, Ehrlich said that he would come to see the sulfonamides John was talking about over the weekend, and he was obviously impressed.

What's more, John paid him no less than that!

For future Nobel laureates, Mr. Traverser will definitely be very generous, saying that if the other party is willing to join Heinz Pharmaceutical, he will give an annual salary of tens of thousands of marks, which is not comparable to the income of doctors in Charlotte Hospital. In fact, if Ehrlich was willing to return to New York in the future, John even planned to give him a property and the position of director of the Institute for the Future, a treatment that only Ehrlich could get.

Hoffmann on the pharmaceutical side seems to be more important, but don't forget, he will stay in Berlin in the future, and the role of the Berlin company is to develop new drugs in the direction that John pointed out, but the direction of the institute in New York is physiology, pathology, pharmacology, immunology and other basic disciplines for future development, which is the real academic frontier. For someone like Errich, there is no doubt that following John to New York is the right choice.

After drawing a large pie for the other party, John just had to wait patiently for a reply.

If Erlishiken were to be under John's banner, it would be of great benefit to him, and for John there would be one more real general. If you add Benz and Daimler, who cooperated earlier, as well as Tesla and Carnegie in New York, John's future development is no longer worry......

……

After two busy days in the real yĆ n room on the second floor. The weekend is coming.

The elder Huntelaar had gone out in a carriage early in the morning, and since the old man had come to Berlin, he seemed to be a little busier than in New York, and if it had not been for the fact that his grandfather was enjoying himself, John would have objected a long time ago. I have to say, although he is nearly seventy years old. However, the old Huntelaar is in quite good health, he can eat, sleep, walk and talk, and he is more and more energetic every day, which makes John sigh at the great difference between individuals. Some people get worse the busier they get, while others get better the busier they get......

About nine o'clock Ehrlich arrived at John's house.

"Mr. Huntelaar, where are you talking about?"

As soon as he entered the door, Ehrlich asked aloud and impatiently.

Ever since I heard John talk about sulfonamides on Thursday. Although it was agreed that he would be able to witness this miraculous substance on the weekend, in fact, Ehrlich's heart was like a cat's paw scratching all the time, and he couldn't settle down that night. Even when I went to work for the past two days, I had been thinking about this matter, and I almost made a mistake several times, and I had the heart to go to the surgery department to find Mr. Huntelaar to ask a little more about the content, but I found that this guy actually asked for leave, and it was two weeks at a time!

So as soon as I woke up this morning, Ehrlich came running.

"Don't worry."

John's eyes were full of smiles. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ehrlich, you shouldn't have eaten breakfast yet, right?" Just right. I haven't eaten here yet, how about everyone? ā€

"This time...... You didn't eat breakfast either? ā€

Ehrlich was slightly stunned, and his heart was suddenly a little puzzled.

After all, this era is a few years after the emergence of electric lights, and the price is quite expensive, and kerosene is not cheap, so ordinary people are more accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early. It's rare to see a sincere person who hasn't eaten breakfast at nine o'clock.

But......

Looking at John's full smile, Ehrlich immediately understood!

I had been thinking about the sulfonamide that John had said, so I naturally hurried over early in the morning, but because I had never been here, I looked for it for a long time. Of course, it is impossible to eat breakfast. And this guy in front of him probably guessed his mind and waited for himself!

While he was slightly moved in his heart, Ehrlich was also a little embarrassed.

He was a little embarrassed by a guy who was more than ten years younger than him, and Ehrlich was anxious to see the magical substance, and he didn't have much appetite to eat. However, since John didn't eat and waited for him, Ehrlich naturally couldn't refuse, so he could only nod and smile bitterly: "Then thank you, Mr. Huntelaar." ā€

Laughing and inviting Ehrlich to the dining room, Hans immediately brought the breakfast he had prepared.

"This ......"

After looking at the things that came up at the flowing price, Ellishiden was stunned.

When he first came to John's house, Ehrlich was full of sulfonamide things, and naturally he didn't have the heart to pay attention to other things, but now his mood calmed down a little, and he looked at the extremely rich breakfast on the table in front of him, and then looked at the polite butler in a formal suit, and his eyebrows gradually became surprised.

"What, these things are not appetizing?"

Sensitively noticing the change in Ehrlich's expression, John asked with a frown.

"No, no, I like it."

Waving his hand, Ehrlich nodded hurriedly and said with a wry smile: "It's just the two of us...... What a luxury! ā€

"Uh...... Ha ha! ā€

After a slight startle, John was immediately happy.

Breakfast would have been fairly simple if it had only been him and Hans, but since the elder Huntlaar arrived in Berlin, Hans had prepared a hearty meal. The old man is quite particular about eating, and the amount is not high, but the pattern must be enough.

When a guest was coming, Hans didn't dare to slack off.

Without much explanation, John beckoned Ehrlich to enjoy a hearty breakfast.

Ever since the two of them had actually started eating, Ehrlich had fallen completely silent, silently eating what was on the table, but the expression on his face seemed to be contemplating something.

After John finished his cup of coffee, he suddenly asked, "Mr. Ehrlich, what are you thinking?" ā€

"I'm thinking about ......"

After a slight hesitation, Ehrlich squinted his eyes and asked, "Mr. Huntelaar, from what I see in my eyes today, your economic conditions should be very good, and you can even say that you are quite wealthy...... So I can't understand, why would you want to be a surgeon? ā€

There were also very few physicians in this era, such as big names like Koch and Liszt, who could have considerable prestige and also have high incomes. But on the whole, doctors are not comparable to the future high society status and top income. Like ordinary PhDs at the University of Berlin, after graduation, they earn a salary of one or two hundred marks a month, and their lives are quite hard. So normally, a kid like John's ......

But very few people go to study medicine.

Really!

John, who knew it in his heart, raised his eyebrows, smiled and said, "If I say that it is because of interest, or that it is my ideal to cure diseases and save people, do you believe it?" ā€

Ehrlich fell silent for a moment.

"Mr. Ehrlich."

Wiping his mouth, John said lightly: "Whether you believe it or not, I wanted to be a doctor a long time ago...... So no matter how rich my family was, and no matter how much my grandfather opposed it, I still chose this path. ā€

After swallowing a mouthful of spit, Ehrlich didn't say anything after all.

John didn't care, he simply stood up and smiled slightly when he was full: "Mr. Ehrlich, are you full?" ā€

"Uh, I'm full."

Stunned again, Ehrlich also stood up.

"Then let's go up."

With his right hand stretched out, John made a gesture of invitation and smiled: "There is a miniature real yĆ n room on the second floor, and the conditions inside are enough to verify the antibacterial effect of sulfonamides......"

"Okay, let's go!"

After hearing John's words, his eyes lit up, and Ehrlich walked out excitedly.

Seeing the excited look of the future great scientist, John happily followed. He wasn't lying, because as it was, it was a long, long time ago that he decided to be a physician, at least a hundred years apart......

I'm sorry, I've only finished one chapter now, and I'm really out of strength in the second chapter. (To be continued......)
