"What do you think?"

Seeing Hoffman's carriage disappear into the distance, old Huntlaar turned around and asked seriously.

"I think this guy should be good."

After a deep groan, John nodded and said: "The foundation is very solid, the management experience is relatively rich, the key is to be very interested in the pharmaceutical industry, which is the most important thing for us." ”

Being a well-grounded chemist and being able to take the position of group leader at Bayer already shows that Hoffman's ability is quite good, which is enough for John for the time being. After all, he did the most critical and difficult work, and the company's chemists just had to realize it and complete the design for production.

To put it bluntly, John gave the results, and what chemists have to do is find out how to get the results.

The difficulty of this kind of work is relatively small, what is needed is to repeat and repeat the real yàn, so the creation of zào force or something is secondary, the key is to have enthusiasm and continuity of work, and to be able to strictly follow the plan given by John to carry out research, in this regard Hoffman is quite a suitable candidate.

"Then it depends on his health."

Nodding, old Huntlaar immediately pointed out another crucial question.

"No problem."

John raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Didn't you make an appointment to come to me next week just now?" As long as it's not too big, I'll definitely cure him. ”

John is still quite confident in his field of expertise.

Old Huntelaar raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Then wait and see." If there is no big problem, let him help you manage the real room, and I also have a candidate for the management of production, and I can determine it soon. I think what kind of aspirin drug you are called should be able to produce it soon, right? ”

"Well, almost."

Breathing a sigh of relief, John said with a smile: "I already have a mature production process, as long as the plant is slightly modified and some equipment is added, production should be started." But I still hope to be able to smooth out all the qiē first. And then put into production in the first half of next year, what do you think? ”

In addition to considering the conditions of production, John also had to consider the factor of personal influence.

He now has a pretty good reputation on a small scale, but if he wants to go any further, he will need to wait for the surgeons who attended the conference, or those who read the papers of August and September, to start trying.

At the end of the 19th century, the conditions of communication and technology strictly constrained the influence of those papers, so John planned his travel plans for the end of this year and the first half of next year, and responded to the steady stream of invitations. After the new surgical sterilization norms, local anesthesia and appendectomy really start to be widely used. His influence will usher in a big explosion, and at that time, the words that come forward to promote aspirin can have a better effect.

"I think so."

Old Huntelaar, who already knew what John was planning, naturally would not object, he nodded and smiled: "Then I will arrange according to this plan, I hope that before we leave Berlin, your two factories can operate smoothly......"

"We? Leaving Berlin? ”

After hearing old Huntelaar's words, John was stunned: "Grandpa, what do you mean by this?" Are you planning to go back to New York with me? ”

"Of course!"

Nodding. Old Huntelaar said as a matter of course.

John was dumbfounded.

It's been some time since old Huntelaar came to Berlin for the second time, according to John's idea. At most, he should go back to New York after the New Year, but he didn't expect the old man to make such a plan: waiting to go back with him!

After a long while, John asked in surprise, "Grandpa, what about your trading companies?" That's more than a year, is it really okay if you don't go back to management? “

"No problem."

With a smile, old Huntelaar patted his grandfather's shoulder and smiled, "It's just two or three small companies." Now they're very mature, and I'm the same if I'm not around. And I've now found that my company is nothing compared to what you're messing up with, so I might as well help you manage them instead of continuing to bother with them......"

"Huh?"

After a brief period of consternation. John's heart was filled with gratitude.

Of course, he would not be naïve enough to believe the elder Huntelaar, and in fact, he knew very well what those companies meant to the elder Huntelaar: it was the result of a lifetime of hard work!

How can it be so lightly ignored?

After all, the old Huntelaar has now given up John's plan to take over his own company in the future, so he focuses on the industry created by his grandson himself!

"Grandpa......"

He opened his mouth, but John didn't know what to say.

Seeing that John had understood what he meant, the old Huntelaar was naturally very relieved, and the old man patted his grandson on the shoulder again, and said with a smile: "Actually, I left here because Germany has not yet been reunified, and the situation is turbulent, but now, I really hope to stay in my hometown for a while longer." ”

When he said this, old Huntelaar paused, suddenly blinked and smiled: "John, I know that you like those big estates very much, since there are also your important properties here in the future, and you will have to come back often, why don't we just buy a manor......

……

In the week after the meeting, John was still quite busy.

As more and more patients recover in the surgical building, Professor Wolfgang now recommends a few patients with right lower quadrant pain almost every week, and they will have an easier time with surgery.

The facts are in front of us, and nothing could be more convincing than them.

And with the publication of John and Thomas's follow-up paper in the journal German Medicine at the speed of light, many doctors in the Berlin area, at least in the Berlin area, know that safe abdominal surgeries can be performed at Charlotte Hospital, so it is conceivable that there will be a sharp increase in the number of surgeries in the coming period!

The demand for surgeons who are proficient in appendectomy, including surgical sterility and local anesthetic techniques, has also increased rapidly.

In the Berlin area alone, there are at least 1,000 appendicitis cases per year for a population of more than one million, and even if only a third of the population comes to Charlotte Hospital for treatment, one per day is guaranteed, so Professor Bergmann is already considering plans to increase the number of people. Thomas: The three of them will definitely follow John in the future, and Bergman knows this very well.

In addition, the trainee physicians are also very busy.

Dale and the two Englishmen are going back and are handing over the work in the next few days, and surgeons from three university hospitals in Germany will continue their work to help Thomas with the next appendectomy. As for the few people who still didn't leave after the meeting, they are now soaking in the operating room and the ward every day, eagerly learning what they saw.

It seems that a qiē is carried out very smoothly.

Even Hoffman, who came to John on leave, after a detailed examination, John concluded that it was chronic gastritis, and basically there was no big problem, and after prescribing some simple medicines and instructing some problems in living habits, he told his grandfather that he could talk to him about specific treatment issues......

So John, who had been busy for almost a whole year, finally settled down completely. He believed that it would not be long before the whole of Europe, a year at most, would be taken seriously for his work, and that the name Johann Huntelaar would become one of the top surgeons in Europe, along with Liszt, Bierrot and Bergmann.

There is no doubt about this, if John had been thirty years or even ten years earlier, the process would have been very slow, but although there are still problems of surgery now, it has begun to rise slowly in the last ten years, and the status of surgeons has improved greatly.

In fact, this phenomenon will reach a peak in a decade or two. At that time, the upper class of Europe sometimes even took pride in having surgery, just as the noble ladies of today deliberately turned their faces white with poisonous gadgets, as if they were about to see God.

This means that as long as Professor Bergman does not interfere with his brain, at least in Charlotte Hospital, John can already do whatever he wants...... (To be continued......)
