Chapter 1 Put into production

In Berlin in mid-November, the cold wind gradually picks up, blowing chills all over people's bodies.

However, compared to this cool weather, this thing in his hand made Baron Cole's heart even more chilling!

“…… What a surprise to me! ”

Looking at the order statistics in his hand, Baron Cole's eyes flickered brightly and darkly, and his voice became a little dry.

Today is the day when the subordinate factory of Heinz Medical Devices Company was officially put into operation, and as a two-percent shareholder of Baron Cole, although I did not care much about this small-scale manufacturing plant, and the management of the factory was also taken back by the old Huntelaar, but in order to support his partners, he still came to the factory early in the morning to attend a small ceremony held by the old Huntelaar.

However, when he saw the order for the pre-ordered products, he was shocked!

A complete set of surgical instruments priced at more than 150 marks was now pre-ordered at more than 230 sets, and stethoscopes and thermometer sets were pre-ordered at more than 400 sets, but they were not seen by him because of their low price. But the number of blood pressure monitors priced at 40 marks has reached a staggering 1,500, which is a bit scary!

The factory has not even started working, and it has already sold a hundred thousand marks?

According to Herbert, the new manager of the company, the tools for the physicians were expensive because they were the patents of Mr. Huntelaar and were extremely practical, and the profits belonging to the company could account for at least half of the profits. And what is even more exciting is that most of the people who place orders for pre-order surgical instruments are the surgeons themselves, especially the demonstration of the conference some time ago made the surgical instruments famous, but the majority of people who book blood pressure monitors are businessmen, especially a British businessman, after seeing the sample and figuring out its performance. Directly placed an order for 300 units!

The current order alone is enough to bring nearly 50,000 marks to the medical device company!

I have to say that the industrial products of this era are very profitable, especially those that are as unique as the sphygmomanometer and do not even have any competitors, and the profits are even more scary. The price of forty marks was still because John wanted to promote it as much as possible, and at the same time make a name for the company......

So after figuring out what was going on, Baron Cole felt a little uncomfortable.

The factory, which was eventually named Heinz Medical Devices, was actually invested and built by Baron Cole, and even the workers in it were basically recruited by him, but he only had 20 percent of the shares, and the rest was all owned by John.

Baron Cole didn't really care about the shares, after all, he built the factory to compensate John for his concessions on the stainless steel patent. But he never imagined that a small manufacturing factory, which he had never paid attention to, could create such an amazing fortune!

Looking at this momentum, it is likely to be a business that can earn hundreds of thousands of marks a year!

So looking at the smiling old Huntelaar in front of him, Baron Cole felt a little uncomfortable. Although John only took the patent and accounted for five percent of the shares in the stainless steel factory, and the interests over there were greater, our Mr. Baron still felt a little lost. If he knew that this small manufacturing factory had such a big profit, how could he have to take more of it......

Baron Cole's thoughts were ignored. At this time, both Mr. Huntelaar were immersed in the joy of the commissioning of the factory.

Most of the surgical instruments were custom-made by some surgeons in Berlin, including those who attended the conference. So the volume can't go up for the time being, but John has a lot of confidence that it won't be long before surgeons from all over Europe send orders! Hemostats just appeared more than ten years ago, but the structure is simple, and the design is very rough, not to mention that John's whole set of instruments is a must-have tool for surgeons a hundred years later!

As for the blood pressure monitor. Needless to say, that's not to mention.

The design of the era has made it possible for doctors to accurately measure blood pressure, and a tool like this should be one for every physician! So fifteen hundred orders are just the beginning, and as long as no one steals the patents, John is confident that the number will reach the six-figure level in ten years!

That means millions of marks in profit!

Therefore, even if I saw the trace of unwillingness and loss in Baron Cole's eyes. John didn't care, because as Heinz Medical Devices stepped onto the stage of history, he almost foresaw the various medical devices he designed on the European continent......

……

The week before, John and his grandfather went to the headquarters of Heinz Pharmaceuticals.

It's a cliché name, but old Huntelaar liked it.

According to the original idea, John planned to find a bullish multinational group name to name the pharmaceutical company in his memory, just like General Motors, but in the end it was rejected by the old Huntelaar vote.

After the old man cashed out the bicycle factory, he can now see that what bicycles, what Lego toys, including what car company and alternating current that John is investing in now, are all tools for this kid to make money! Once these investments are developed, as long as the price is right or John needs it, he will not hesitate to sell it!

But this medical device company and a pharmaceutical company have completely different meanings.

Judging from John's attitude, as well as the elder Huntelaar's own feelings, these two companies will definitely be held as Huntelaar's family business in the future, which is why he will not hesitate to invest such a huge amount of money and make long-term plans, such as building the same two factories in New York, and asking Huntelaar to recruit as many chemists as possible......

So when it came time to name the two companies, the elder Huntelaar insisted on using his last name.

As soon as the carriage drove into Heinz Medical Devices, the new factory vision, Vincent Nicklaus, and the head of research and development, Adolf Hoffman, greeted them from afar.

Hoffmann was officially appointed head of the R&D department at the end of last month, and began to lead more than a dozen chemists and more technicians who had recently been recruited. Before anything came of it, John had already invested tens of thousands of marks in the purchase of real equipment for them, and freed up a house for the factory, and not far away, a building costing millions of marks was built specifically for them.

This qiē made Hoffman, who was in control of his condition, full of energy, and his face looked much better.

As for Mr. Nicklaus, he was a pharmaceutical company manager carefully selected by the old Huntelaar, and I heard that he was not too far related to the old man, and after a few contacts, John found that the other party's ability was quite good, and soon let him replace the original factory director.

One article and one martial arts, the managers of pharmaceutical companies are all together.

"How many workers have been recruited? How is the commissioning of the production equipment? ”

As soon as he got out of the carriage, old Huntelaar asked Nicklaus almost impatiently.

"Nearly 100 workers have been recruited, and the equipment has been commissioned."

Nicklaus raised his eyebrows and replied with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Hoffman's help, the commissioning of the equipment went smoothly...... We plan to start trial production of a small number of samples starting next week and see how it goes. ”

"Well, that's good!"

After listening to Nicklaus's answer, old Huntelaar nodded with joy on his face.

The acetyl salicylic acid provided by John has a mature production process, but when it comes to production, Hoffman needs to make some detailed adjustments. It has to be said that with this experienced chemist on board, the efficiency of the pharmaceutical factory has suddenly increased.

The launch of aspirin is on the agenda!

It's just that Nicklaus's expression quickly became a little hesitant, he hesitated for a moment, and asked John, who had been standing calmly, "Mr. Huntelaar, this new medicine of ours ...... Will there really be that much sales? We're going to hire 200 workers, and their salaries are quite a bit of an expense! ”

John gave him the task of recruiting two hundred workers, a number that made him extremely uneasy.

You know, the wages of skilled workers are not low now, the salary of two hundred people is thousands of marks a week, and such a large expenditure is just to produce a product that has not yet been proven, which is difficult for experienced Nicklaus to accept. However, given John's tough attitude, he could only carry it out helplessly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Nicklaus."

Smiling slightly, John said lightly: "If it is a qiē shun lì, we can launch the medicine after the New Year, and you will know by then, this little manpower is actually far from enough......"

……

Sorry, I didn't even have a chance to talk about it last night, and this chapter is a supplement to yesterday. (To be continued......)
