For John, ten thousand marks was definitely not a big number.

On the first day he came to Karlsruhe, the elder Huntelaar promised Benz a huge sum of 200,000 marks, a pharmaceutical company far away in Berlin planned to invest three or four million marks, and as for the hospital in New York, more than 100,000 dollars have been invested, almost 600,000 marks......

But for a physics professor, that's a lot of money!

In 1886, the average university professor was paid no more than 2,000 marks a year, and 10,000 marks was almost equivalent to Hertz's income for four or five years, which was enough to support his experiments. Even if it is not enough in the end, the school funding may be able to be connected.

So, it's a real send-off!

Hertz had no reason to refuse. The other party funds his own research, and he does not ask for anything in return, the only requirement is to give him a copy of the paper when he sends it to the journal.

So after repeated confirmation, Hertz accepted the grant of 10,000 marks with a grateful face.

Naturally, John would not do the formalities himself, but gave the task to Bentz. Benz, who had a decent personal relationship, naturally agreed happily, although he never understood what John was doing with the ten thousand marks.

Instructed Benz to hide the matter from old Huntelaar, Johann Schran left the Technical University of Karlsruhe.

For the next two days, he spent almost all of his time in Hertz's room chatting with future physics gurus until he got on the train with old Huntelaar and returned to Berlin.

The first thing I did when I got back to Berlin was to walk around the hospital right away.

Under the leadership of Thomas, two medical students who are about to get their doctorates and many advanced physicians are working diligently to complete each appendectomy. And in strict accordance with the norms set by John, the pre- and post-operative care measures are carried out.

This made John, who had been away for almost half a month, very satisfied.

One of the most important principles of modern medicine, standardization, began to be familiar and practiced by surgeons in the surgical building of Charlotte Hospital decades in advance, and more and more seeds were sown as more and more physicians understood and accepted it.

With Thomas around, John can basically rest assured.

Originally, John had planned to continue his career in abdominal surgery before leaving Europe. However, after receiving Bierrot's invitation, he dismissed the idea. Now that they have agreed to go to Vienna in the first half of the year, what better option than to assist Bierrot in perfecting the surgery?

At the end of the day, there's so much to do in the course of the year.

Instead of focusing on surgery, it is better to get to know more people and develop the two companies well, as for clinical things, when you return to New York and have your own hospital, there will naturally be opportunities!

After leaving the hospital room, I went to Professor Bergman for a spin. John staggered to the office of Wolfgang, a professor of internal medicine. Before John could speak, the professor of internal medicine stood up with surprise on his face: "Mr. Huntelaar, you're finally back!" “

"Uh...... Are you looking for me? “

Seeing Wolfgang's somewhat anxious appearance, John was slightly stunned.

He naturally had something to talk about when he looked for Wolfgang, but he didn't expect this professor of internal medicine to be more anxious than himself, so he grabbed him and said urgently: "Mr. Huntelaar, what are the bottles of antipyretic analgesics you brought me before...... Aspirin, right? Is there anything left? Hurry up and get some more! ”

"Uh......"

After a brief period of consternation. John's heart was overjoyed.

Just after the pharmaceutical company took out a sample of aspirin, John immediately brought it to Charlotte Hospital. Except for a small amount on the surgical side. Naturally, it was mainly given to Professor Wolfgang in the Department of Internal Medicine. Although this thing is also a "new drug", John knows very well that aspirin is quite safe, otherwise he will not become a member of the over-the-counter drug in the future, and he is naturally not afraid of any major problems. For the description of the scope of application of aspirin, John mainly focused on understanding heat analgesia and rheumatism, and out of trust and value for John. Professor Wolfgang didn't hesitate too much, and left a dozen bottles of aspirin behind.

Of course, in addition to using this awkward new drug, Professor Wolfgang also promised to help John collect the corresponding number of clinical trials.

John came in to Professor Wolfgang to ask about the effects of aspirin and how much feedback it was. But now as soon as he saw the other party's reaction, John knew that he didn't have to bother to ask anything, so he simply nodded and smiled: "No problem, Professor Wolfgang, I'll ask them to send you some more tomorrow......"

……

By the time John returned to Heinz Pharmaceuticals, it was already his third day back in Berlin.

Because he was notified by phone in advance, not only was Nicklaus waiting for John when he arrived at the office, but Hoffman and Ehrlich were also present at Nicklaus's office. Although the installation cost of telephones is very high, and the monthly cost is quite expensive, there are still more than a dozen telephones installed in the company, and the offices of these three are naturally available.

"Mr. Nicklaus, send some more aspirin to Professor Wolfgang."

After a brief greeting, John immediately smiled and ordered: "It seems that our medicine is not only very popular with patients, but also very trusting by doctors...... No, fifty bottles over! ”

Anyway, a bottle of aspirin isn't worth much, so John thinks it's better to be generous.

"Yes, sir."

After blinking his eyes, Nicklaus's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, and he nodded excitedly.

As the manager of Heinz Pharmaceuticals, after seeing dozens of animal and human trials, he certainly knows how valuable aspirin is, but it is still a bit unexpected for him to be recognized by a professor of internal medicine at the University of Berlin so quickly, and at the same time he is overjoyed!

You know, it's the University of Berlin!

As one of the top universities in Germany, the University of Berlin is a guide to other universities in some respects, so it has a high reputation, and if aspirin is approved by Professor Wolfgang, it means that it will be able to travel freely in Germany in the future!

"What happened to the animal of sulfonamide?"

After talking about aspirin, John turned his gaze to Ehrlich's position.

Unlike Hoffman, a chemist, and Nicklaus, who studied law, Ehrlich is a real professional, and he nodded calmly: "As you speculated, sulfonamides have a very good antibacterial effect, but ......"

Ehrlich hesitated for a moment, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "We can't tell which bacteria he is sensitive to and which ones he is not sensitive to for the time being, I'm afraid we can only know when the actual yàn on the patient is completed." ”

In this era, people's understanding of bacteria is too little after all.

Even if John vaguely hinted at a lot of things for Ehrlich, in 1886, when most of the pathogenic bacteria had not yet been discovered, Ehrlich could only hope that the drug would be tested on patients in the future.

"It's okay."

John, who had a full set of sulfonamide drug susceptibility genealogy in his head, smiled indifferently: "This was originally in our plan. Mr. Ehrlich, how long will it take for the animal to be completed? ”

"Up to a week!"

Taking a deep breath, Ehrlich replied earnestly. During this time, he took a few assistants to do the work without sleep and food, and it is estimated that he can complete the task given to him by John several days in advance.

"That's good."

Nodding, John also said seriously: "Then please help make some more samples of drugs, like aspirin, sulfonamides we must also start to promote as much as possible......"
