At the end of July 1908, Yan Fuqing and more than 80 others arrived in Shanghai, China. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The arrival of more than 80 Chinese dressed in Western-style clothes at the Shanghai docks attracted a lot of attention, and the huge motorcade organized by the Far East branch of the Huntelaar Bank brought this attention to the highest point - a fleet of 30 BMW cars was extremely rare to see in Shanghai in 1908.

At noon the next day, Rong Hong held a grand banquet for these returning students.

A luxury hotel in the Public Concession was chartered, and now two of the most beautiful big names in Shanghai: the famous old man Yung Hongrong and the president of the bank branch of Huntelaar Philip? Mr. Dante attended the banquet, including the consul general of the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai, HSBC, McQuarie, Dehua and other foreign bank dignitaries attended, further elevating the status of these people a lot.

It took a week for them to stop.

Forty people joined the university, secondary school or technical school of the Huntelaar system and became the top teachers in the school. The remaining 40 or so people have also found their own places - 17 new factories have been built in Shanghai and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, including textiles, flour, matches, soap, etc., nine will join the Far East branch of the Huntelaar Bank, and five people led by Dong Pengcheng will go to Wuhan, another important city, accompanied by a foreigner from the Huntelaar Bank!

At the same time, a large number of advanced machinery and equipment also arrived in Shanghai from the United States.

The machines, all manufactured by Huntelaar Maschinenbau, have a total value of more than $3 million, and even the production cost is more than $1 million! And all these machines were bought at a low price, or at a discount, and became the capital of seventeen factories. With the help of the Huntelaar Bank, the factories were already built, and a large number of workers and technical school graduates were recruited, and they were immediately handed over to 17 international students......

In August 1908, the tuberculosis vaccine of the Huntelaar Pharmaceutical Company began to be marketed on a large scale!

After two years of large-scale clinical trials, the tuberculosis vaccine has shown unparalleled superiority, is relatively safe, effective, and greatly reduces the infection rate of tuberculosis. Of course, due to the limitations of the technical level of this era, there will be certain risks in use, but don't forget what era it is, this risk is completely acceptable.

As soon as the tuberculosis vaccine was launched, it immediately caused a huge sensation!

Given that John? Huntelaar and Paul? Ehrlich's enormous prestige in the field of immunology, as well as the role of precedents such as diphtheria and tetanus vaccines, made it easy to believe in this new product. Not to mention the notoriety of the white plague that still makes people hear about it today, and the role of the tuberculosis vaccine in the face of huge clinical data, people have nothing to say. In addition to the Huntelaar System Hospital in New York, the Royal Society Hospital in London, the Charlotte Hospital in Berlin and the Pasteur Research in France have conducted simultaneous clinical trials to prove the excellence of this new vaccine!

Dozens of papers have been published and dozens more are in the pipeline.

So when Huntelaar Pharmaceuticals launched the tuberculosis vaccine in North America, more than 50,000 people were vaccinated in just one month. At $49.9 per vaccine, it is destined to be available to a small number of people for a short period of time. As for when the price will fall in the future, or to what extent, we can only wait for the decision of Huntelaar Pharmaceuticals.

However, in addition to the North American market, the larger European market John did not let go.

In September 1908, a month after the launch of the tuberculosis vaccine in the North American market, three pharmaceutical companies in Britain, France and Germany simultaneously launched the latest drug. Twenty years of patent rights, $100,000 a year, a total of $6 million, was acquired by Huntelaar Pharmaceuticals, and John owned 30% of the shares of the three pharmaceutical companies, ensuring that he would continue to make huge profits in the future......

In October 1908, John was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for his tuberculosis vaccine.

Not because of the tuberculosis vaccine, but because of his great contributions to the field of surgery: new disinfection methods, blood transfusion techniques, local anesthesia techniques and surgical debridement, etc., after a long period of proven, John's reputation finally reached the peak of the field of surgery!

The Nobel Prize is a matter of course.

In fact, in previous years, Johan's call for the Nobel Prize was very high, but I don't know why this increasingly influential award was never awarded to him, but to European physicians. But now, no one can ignore it, so after the physics prize, John won the medicine prize again.

Only this time, John still didn't go to accept the award.

Although the influence of the Nobel Prize is increasing year by year, there is still a long way to go before it reaches the level of future generations. And winning the award for the most basic skills and concepts of future surgeons also made John a little uncomfortable, so he once again chose to let someone lead this award.

The helpless Nobel Prize Committee once again pinched its nose and agreed.

This time the Nobel Prize was awarded to John? Huntelaar kicked off the beginning of the Huntelaar Medical System's award-winning frenzy. From 1909 to 1930, in just 22 years, the Huntelaar medical system won 7 Nobel Prizes in Medicine and Physiology, completely establishing its high position in the world medical community......

At the end of 1908, in the Far East, rubber stocks were completely on fire.

In just half a year, a total of 57 rubber companies were listed in Shanghai and began to become the object of speculation. Especially when they got the news from the United States, the world's largest rubber consumer, the Huntelaar Motor Company, announced that it would build three more factories in the central and western United States, increase annual production to 300,000 vehicles, and strive to reduce the price of cars to less than $400 by 1910, people went completely crazy!

Both Chinese and foreigners began to buy rubber stocks like crazy.

Stocks that already have rubber plantations in Southeast Asia and are already or will soon be able to tap rubber are naturally the most sought after, and a lot of hot money is pouring into them. For example, the stock of Feng Jiete Rubber Company, the hottest stock, has tripled in just one month, absorbing more than two million taels! The other dozen or so stocks that owned ready-made rubber plantations like it absorbed a total of more than 20 million taels of silver, and in the end, even those companies that had just been established and whose rubber plantations were far away from rubber tapping absorbed millions of taels of capital before and after......

The whole of Shanghai seems to be crazy because of rubber.

People meet every day to talk about rubber stocks, and some bank executives even do not hesitate to resign, but also want to invest their net worth in the rubber stock market. And when the time came to the beginning of 1909, when the stock of the Fengjiete Rubber Company had risen sixfold compared to the same period last year, reaching its peak, some people finally realized that something was wrong......

The total capital of the entire rubber stock has exceeded 70 million taels!

This figure is much higher than the total amount of capital in the historical Shanghai rubber stock turmoil, because in addition to the crazy investment of the Chinese, under the influence of the hot market atmosphere, a large amount of foreign capital has also poured in, tens of millions more than in history! The British, the French, the Japanese and even the Americans have stepped up their efforts to try to salvage from this madness.

And then......

In May 1909, the Huntelaar Automobile Company issued a proclamation.

The content is actually very simple, that is, in view of the high price of rubber, which has risen to an intolerable level, so Huntelaar Automobile Company announced that it will temporarily slow down the pace of production of three new plants.

At the same time, the U.S. government also cooperated with the announcement.

The Americans openly declared that the price of rubber was too high and that it had to be restricted. In the following month, countries such as the United Kingdom, France and Germany followed suit and announced that they would limit the price of rubber. And under the tandem of the Huntelaar Automobile Company, bicycle, tricycle and automobile companies from all over the world, and even rain boot companies, have joined in, saying that if the price of rubber continues to be high, they can only helplessly reduce imports......

When the news reached Shanghai, the stock market collapsed.

Everyone began to frantically sell stocks, whether he was a Chinese or a foreigner. And because of John's existence, this time foreigners could not get the news earlier than the Chinese, so they were also beaten up! It's like opening the floodgates, and the rubber stocks, which have been crazy for almost a year, have crashed...... (To be continued.) )
