CHAPTER XXXVIII
By the time John and Anna stepped off the train, the weather in Berlin had become completely warm.
Watching the Brister family's carriage leave, John got in the carriage to pick him up and drove all the way home. After a hot bath and a clean and comfortable loungewear, John arrived at the restaurant in the evening and the most important meal of the day began.
"Grandpa, is there anything wrong with me?"
As he waited for dinner to be served, John asked, a little uncomfortably. From the moment he sat down at the table, old Huntelaar stared at him with a smile on his face, but this smile was very strange, and his heart was furious.
With a smile, old Huntelaar first took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and then suddenly asked, "John, is it fun over there in Vienna?" ā
āā¦ā¦ You alright. ā
Blinking, John replied with some trepidation.
"Are you still having a good time with Miss Brister?"
Leaning forward slightly, old Huntelaar's eyes almost narrowed with a smile!
"Uh......"
At this moment, John finally knew what the old man meant, and said with a smile: "It's very pleasant, Anna's temperament is quite compatible with me...... Grandpa, what exactly do you want to say? I have a few other things I'd like to talk to you about! ā
"Haha......"
Seeing John's slightly embarrassed look, old Huntelaar laughed happily.
All along, old Huntelaar felt that his grandson was a little too mature. Although this kid is not surprised, and his down-to-earth and steady appearance hates the old man's appreciation, but for the old Huntelaar, who has lacked family affection for a long time, he hopes that his grandson can be more lively, and today he is very happy to see John's appearance Old Huntelaar is very happy.
was laughed at by my grandfather, and my face tightened for a while. John couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He had now begun to feel the heart of old Huntelaar, who had been running to the Brister house for a while now, and had always complimented John on how generous, kind, and gentle Anna was, and how well he matched John, regardless of age and stature......
How could John, who had experienced it once in his previous life, not know what he meant?
Plainly. Anna's excellence is undoubted, but the Brister family is a native of Germany and a partner of the Huntelaar family, so the purpose of the old Huntelaar is naturally self-evident. In the future, when John and the old man return to New York, the two companies here will be watched by Mr. Brister, at least they can rest assured. The checks and balances of relatives, shareholders and employees, combined with John's absolute strength in academia and R&D, should not be too difficult to ensure the leadership of the Huntelaar family.
But......
Anna's cute little face appeared in front of him, and the corners of John's mouth gradually curved.
I have to say something that I don't like about that beautiful girl. John probably thought he was being hypocritical, but he couldn't tell if it was love or pure hormones. Anna's age and the era she lived in made John's eyes feel like a thick veil was covered, and he couldn't see clearly at all. So John was very happy to have Anna with him on his way to Vienna this time, because he also wanted to find out his mind before leaving Europe, and regret it in the future......
But before he could think any further, old Huntelaar suddenly asked, "John, you said just now that you wanted to talk to me about something...... What is it? ā
"Oh. It's about sulfonamides. ā
John blinked and smiled slightly, "Grandpa." At the same time as I went to Vienna, I also sent some samples of sulfonamides to Professor Bierrot, and based on the trials, the popularity of sulfonamides seemed to be stronger than we expected...... The medicine they need has already been delivered, right? ā
"Well, it's already been sent out."
Haha, old Huntelaar nodded.
Just before John left Vienna. At the urging of Professor Bierrot, a telegram was sent to the Heinz Pharmaceutical Company, so that early this morning 10,000 vials of various sulfonamides were loaded onto the train and sent to Vienna -- at John's insistence, the Heinz Pharmaceutical Company, although it was not operating at full capacity, did not wait for the market reaction to expand production, but remained at a high level. That's why we were able to deliver such a large amount of drugs in such a timely manner.
Accompanying the drug is a salesman from the pharmaceutical company Heinz, who will be in Vienna for at least a month. In addition to the handover with the Vienna General Hospital, he was also responsible for finding a distributor in Austria-Hungary: with the example of the Vienna General Hospital, it would have been much easier to open up the market.
This construction yƬ was specifically stated by John in the telegram.
In the previous life, many well-known hospitals in the country, many equipment were donated by enterprises, including many new drugs also had preferential measures, in order to demonstrate the role of these well-known hospitals. Therefore, in this life, John naturally borrowed this method, with Charlotte Hospital in Germany, Vienna General Hospital in Austria-Hungary, and Liszt in London, so it can be expected that the promotion of new drugs by Heinz Pharmaceutical Company will definitely be smooth sailing.
So under the joy, old Huntelaar nodded frequently and smiled: "During the time you went to Austria-Hungary, we have sent three sulfonamide drugs to all parts of Germany, and with aspirin in front, there is little resistance for doctors to try new drugs, and from the current situation, the response is quite enthusiastic......
There is no doubt that the efficiency of Heinz Pharmaceuticals is intimidating.
In the nearly a month since John left, sulfonamides have spread along the route of aspirin to real Germany, and hundreds of internal medicine doctors have begun to use this novel drug to treat meningitis, pneumonia, enteritis, etc., and many more surgeons are using them to treat post-operative infections!
Most physicians have not yet received feedback due to poor information transmission and transportation, but at least one-fifth of those who have used sulfonamides have responded, and the results are almost identical......
They need more new medicines!
So just as John and Anna were traveling together in Vienna and Budapest, Mr. Nicklaus, the elder Huntelaar and Mr. Nicklaus of Heinz Pharmaceuticals, saw an opportunity, and the plant and machine for the production of sulfonamides began to run at full capacity, and Nicklaus began to make plans to expand the factory and recruit more people!
As for the harvest of Heinz Pharmaceutical, the old Huntelaar was very satisfied.
It's just that after the old man said these things, he waited for his grandson's evaluation expectantly, but there was no expression of surprise on John's face. After making sure that the promise to Professor Bierrot had begun to be carried out, his mind was not on that at all, but turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen and exclaimed, "Mr. Elber, isn't dinner ready yet?" I'm already hungry......"
ā¦ā¦
While John was busy filling his stomach, Anna, who was also hungry, began her own dinner at the Brister house on the other side of the city.
Of course, the girl's movements are much more elegant.
While taking care of her long hair, which was still a little wet, Anna enjoyed the hot soup and lamb chops that her mother had prepared for herself, and she only felt extremely satisfied. Anyone who has just completed a long trip will be eager to enjoy the warmth of home, even if it won't be long before they look forward to another trip......
"Anna, how was the trip?"
Just as Anna was enjoying her meal, Mrs. Brister suddenly smiled and asked, "I heard that you and Mr. Huntelaar get along very well, and...... Later on, your relationship seems to be getting closer and closer, isn't it? ā
"Huh? Ahem! ā
Anna was stunned for a moment, then her face immediately turned red, and she opened her mouth to say something, but the anxious girl forgot that she was eating now, and she was stuffed with food in her mouth, and in a hurry, she accidentally choked on the food in her mouth and coughed violently.
"Ouch, be careful!"
As soon as she saw her daughter choking on food, Mrs. Brister immediately felt distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward and complained while patting her daughter on the back. This mother is also a little unreasonable, and she forgot that her daughter choked because she provoked that topic just now.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Brister, who was eating, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
After drinking several sips of water, Anna reluctantly suppressed the discomfort in her chest, and then pouted at her mother: "Mom, who are you listening to?" Is it Mr. Butler or ......"
Thinking that in the final stage of the trip, her relationship with John was indeed getting closer and closer, and sometimes the two of them would even get close to each other naturally when they were alone, Anna felt like a deer bumping into each other, and her face couldn't help but burn a little.
Mrs. Brister's heart moved, and she immediately said with a smile: "Hehe, it doesn't matter who said it, the key is whether these things are true?" Anna, how do you feel about this Mr. Huntelaar? ā
"Mom's ......"
Anna, who was in a mess in her heart, seemed to be coquettish, and seemed to complain, and she screamed, but two blushes flew on her white and tender face at the same time.
"Haha......"
After seeing her daughter's expression, where did Mrs. Brister not know what her mind was? With joy in my heart, I couldn't help but laugh happily...... (To be continued......)
