Watching a football match puts Johann back in the sights of the medical community in Berlin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

As a football club owned by physicians, at least nominally, the University Club of Berlin is regarded not only by many of the school's teachers and students as its own family, but also by doctors all over Berlin. So when Johan appeared in the VIP seat of the University of Berlin football club, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Today, the University of Berlin Football Club is a well-deserved hegemon in German football.

The abundant financial investment has allowed the club to develop very quickly, and it has almost never tasted defeat in all competitions. Then, in 1899, as an advocate for the German Football Association, the German Football Association was founded a year earlier, and the following year it organized football matches in the Berlin area. Although the development of German football has been slow and chaotic compared to the British, it is much better than the rest of the world thanks to the emergence of the University of Berlin football club......

Now that he had shown up, John was not going to continue to rest.

The first thing John did after showing up was naturally to go to Charlotte Hospital, his home base camp in Berlin. Unfortunately, although Charlotte Hospital has grown much faster than other hospitals due to its cooperation with Huntelaar General Hospital, and has faintly become the medical center of the European continent, it has brought a lot of strangeness to John because of the rise of several buildings and the retirement of the older generation of physicians such as Bergman. Fortunately, the current authority in the hospital is an old friend of John, who is also a student of Bergman, and there is no bloody plot.

And the inter-hospital cooperation has its own others to follow, and John is just nostalgic.

The following week, John visited his teacher, Professor Bergman, and then organized a dance to catch up with old friends from the University of Berlin and Charlotte Hospital. A week later, after all the people he should have seen and the banquets he should have attended, John had stopped.

Unlike every time he came to Europe in the past, he came this time with the purpose of accompanying his wife to visit relatives.

Now that John's medical school and hospital are fully mature, and most of the communication with his European counterparts is done by them, John's original role of matchmaking has ended, and he certainly doesn't want to be busy anymore. So after the necessary socializing, he just wanted to enjoy a leisurely time quietly, after all, he was too tired in the past few years.

Merely......

When the time came to the beginning of July 1902, some troubles were inevitable.

At the dinner table that night, the accompanying butler Trich? Elber - Hans the old butler? Elber's eldest son sent John several envelopes: "Sir, here are some urgent telegrams from China! ”

"Urgent telegram?"

After listening to the butler's words, his brow furrowed, but he quickly unfolded it and put the envelope aside.

Mr. Brister, who had dinner together, was a little curious, and asked with a smile, "John, don't you first see what the telegram says?" After all, it's urgent. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, I'll look at it later."

Smiling slightly, John replied nonchalantly.

If it had been ten years ago, John might have had no qualms about opening the telegram and seeing what had caused them to send the urgent telegram. But now, as the family business grew larger, and John accepted more and more things, he had learned how to control his eagerness, at least in the face of outsiders - Anna was of course the closest person in his eyes, but the Bristlers' words......

"I should tell Trich when I go back, and pay attention to the next occasion in the future."

Reminding himself, John finished dinner with his wife and Mr. and Mrs. Brister with a smile before returning to his study after a little more small talk.

I opened a few telegrams, and sure enough, they were all troubles.

It seems that Rockefeller and Morgan had made an appointment, and on the same day sent a telegram to John, the content of which was nothing more than that President Mr. Roosevelt had begun to work on the railroad. After a railroad control war last year and early a year, the railroads in the United States are now largely in the hands of Morgan-controlled Northern Securities. And when Roosevelt's anti-monopoly stick came down and demanded the dissolution of the Northern Securities Company, Morgan was naturally furious about it! Three days later, Morgan went to the White House in a rage to ask for guilt -- don't doubt it, in this era, the United States is like this, you are just a president, and you dare not report in advance about my industry?

But unfortunately, Morgan met Roosevelt Sr. this time.

The hard-line president made it clear to Morgan that the government did not need to report to the big companies in advance what it was doing. But in the face of the pressure of Morgan and others, the elder Roosevelt was also very wise, saying that he would only treat things and not people, and would not attack other industries of Morgan and others. The angry Morgan naturally refused to give up, saying that he would form a luxurious team of lawyers to fight a lawsuit with the government; Roosevelt was also determined to fight against it, braving the heat of the summer to give speeches everywhere to expose the dangers of monopoly and win more support......

It has to be said that the old Roosevelt caught up with a good time.

Morgan, Rockefeller, Carnegie and others went just too far. For example, Carnegie and Bethlehem manipulated the price of steel, and the same ship armor was sold to the U.S. government for $600 a meal, but to the Russians for only $250 a meal, and so on, all of which made the Americans very unhappy. The monopoly of the railway companies is even more excessive, they manipulate the freight and then the price of various commodities to make huge profits, but they have driven many people to a dead end......

While these brought huge profits to Morgan and others, they also planted an atomic bomb for them.

So when Roosevelt decided to dissolve Northern Securities, which had just been established and controlled American Railroad, Morgan was completely panicked. And out of his own considerations, Rockefeller also started his own Standard Oil, and stood with Morgan. If Carnegie hadn't sold his steel company, I'm afraid his choice would have been the same.

"These people are now like ants on a hot pan!"

In a telegram from old Huntelaar, the old man gloated: "President Roosevelt was resolute, and persuaded many congressmen to support him, so it is certain that Morgan's railroad is already doomed." And it is only a matter of time before Standard Oil is burned at the stake. So recently, Morgan and Rockefeller have been visiting us frequently to convince us to stand with them and jointly respond to President Roosevelt's accusations......"

"Hehe, how is this possible?!"

When he saw this, John seemed to have seen the trace of disdain on his grandfather's face!

If he wasn't a time-traveler, maybe John would have thought about it a little, but now that he already knows the future trajectory, how could John still do such a thing?

The era of Morgan and Rockefeller is indeed coming to an end.

When the power of science and technology begins to dominate, when those monopoly methods are disgusted by more and more people, no matter how powerful Rockefeller and Morgan are, it will be impossible to resist the rolling wheels of history. That's why Roosevelt Sr. got the support of so many people, and finally knocked Morgan and Rockefeller out of the mortal world. Even if the end result is fantastic, and the split Standard Oil brings more revenue to the Rockefeller family, it is impossible to manipulate oil as before.

"As for us, don't worry."

At the end of the telegram, the old man advised: "Whether it is pharmaceutical, automobile, or radio, we have never used illegal means, relying on leading technology and patents...... And as long as Roosevelt is president, we will never have to worry about this! ”

When he saw this passage, John couldn't help but laugh.

That's one of the reasons why he finally gave up on taking over Carnegie Steel in favor of all his shares. Unlike Morgan, Rockefeller and other giants who monopolized by various means such as finance, the Huntelaar family never wanted to really monopolize an industry on the one hand, and relied on technology and creativity on the other hand, which is fundamentally different. And since you invest in Roosevelt, you will inevitably get enough shelter during the other party's tenure, which is also an unspoken rule in American politics.

So after a moment of silence, John put aside the few telegrams he had in hand, and instead found another telegram he had received a few days earlier.

This telegram came from the White House.

After reading the telegram from Roosevelt's aides again, John finally picked up his pen and wrote a reply that had been delayed for a week: "Dear Mr. Scott, I personally strongly support President Roosevelt's recent decision. But please also ask for your understanding, Mr. President, that we cannot stand in the foreground and confront conglomerates like Rockefeller and Morgan directly......" (To be continued. )
