"It's a pity, it's a pity!"

After briefly writing a reply to Conan Doyle, John couldn't help but sigh.

If you put it more than a hundred years later, no, even fifty years later, the publication of a Sherlock Holmes detective book and the derivative benefits are a crazy number. Looking at Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings in later generations, which influence can be compared to Sherlock Holmes? It's a pity that in this era there is no radio, that is, a book publishing can be done, which undoubtedly greatly limits its value, not to mention that there is such rampant piracy.

John never doubted this.

After coming to New York for so many years, John never looked at the Americans of the late 19th century with a kind eye, and in his opinion, the Americans of this era were the most unruly. To put it simply, the piracy, copycats, gutter oil, melamine, and invalid vaccines that Chinese people scolded every day in the previous life were not a problem at all in the United States at the end of the 19th century! Therefore, even if the international copyright law has been promulgated, and all links in the chain of interests have turned to support the genuine version, it will still be a long process before it can be truly implemented......

"Gotcha! Get! ”

"Please come in!"

"Sir, I'll get the letter."

Miss Helen pushed the door open and said cautiously. Every time she read these letters, Mr. Huntelaar would be a little irritable, which made her extra careful. However, Helen also understands this very well, after all, it is really very annoying to deal with these letters, and as a secretary, she really knows it all too well.

"Well, it's all here."

Pointing to the stack of letters on the table, John nodded, "I've also written a note for you to help deliver to Mr. Ehrlich......"

"No need."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door, which made John stunned. Under the gaze of the two of them, Ehrlich walked in with a smile on his face: "Don't let Miss Helen come to me. Didn't I come by myself? ”

"Hehe, that's a coincidence."

Nodding at Miss Helen, John stood up with a smile and greeted him: "And looking at your happy face, there should be something good to tell me, right?" ”

"Of course!"

Happily sitting down on John's couch, Ehrlich looked happy.

It was rare to see Ehrlich have such an expression, and John's heart moved. Hurriedly asked, "Won't it be...... That Mr. Mechnikov agreed to stay? ”

"Haha, that's right!"

Nodding vigorously, Ehrlich laughed and said, "I'll just say, after anyone stays in our school's laboratory for a month, as long as he still has a yearning for science, it is impossible to refuse the invitation to stay!" Mr. Metchnikov was no exception, and he finally agreed to stay as our associate professor of immunology. ”

"Oh? That's great. ”

Raising his eyebrows, John was also overjoyed.

If we talk about faculty, Heinz General Hospital is undoubtedly quite strong now. The professors who poached from Europe don't say. John himself, Ehrlich, Paul, and Osler are among the top names in their fields. But a master like us, Mr. Huntelaar, who is not bad for money, can we still be afraid of too many big bulls? Now if Mechnikov agrees to stay, he will be equivalent to killing the two big bulls of cellular immunity and humoral immunity, how fast?!

After nodding happily, Ehrlich continued: "But he hopes to return to Europe first, ask Monsieur Pasteur to resign in person, and then return to New York before the end of next year." Do you think it's okay? ”

"Absolutely."

Naturally, John had no reason not to agree to such a small matter. He immediately nodded and said, "Actually, the two of us are going to Europe next year, so it's better to come back together then." ”

"Oh? Would you like to visit the Koch Institute? ”

Ehrlich's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

For the famous Robert? Mr. Koch, Ehrlich is certainly no stranger. In fact, if it weren't for John's early invitation, Ehrlich would have joined Koch's research team in the end, until he later left because of academic disagreements. Today, Ehrlich is making a name for himself in the field of antitoxin serums and immunology. Koch, who is also interested in the relevant direction, issued an invitation, and Ehrlich, who was born at the University of Berlin, is naturally not averse to going back and seeing. The satisfaction of returning home is not something that only ordinary people have.

John also guessed some of the other party's thoughts, and nodded with a smile: "Mr. Koch's research institute, of course, I want to go and have a look." And I had plans to go to Europe next year...... Hehe, Anna is also a little homesick. ”

Thinking of John's wife, Ehrlich suddenly struck.

As one of the most important figures in Huntelaar's system, Ehrlich was well aware of Anna's identity and John's estate. He is well aware that the Huntelaar family has also built pharmaceutical factories and automobile companies here in the United States, but when it comes to scale, strength and profitability, there is no doubt that the most important thing is in Germany.

This is determined by the size of the market.

Even if the United States has begun to make a name for itself in the world, if it really wants to build up hard power, it is best not to think about it if it wants to be different from Europe in the next two or three decades. If you count the market capacity, the United States and Europe are not at the same level at all.

It was with this in mind that it was impossible for John to abandon the factory and R&D center in Europe.

In fact, in the past two years, there have been many people who have beaten the idea of European Heinz pharmaceutical companies, and John knows that even if his asking price is high, someone will take it down. There is no need to doubt this, you must know that no matter how high those people in later generations puff Morgan and others, there is one fact that cannot be denied, that is, until Morgan died, the American financial industry did not have much confidence in front of Europeans. Among the financial institutions with the most abundant capital in the world, Britain, France, and Germany are the big guys, and the Americans are just the little brothers who have just risen.

At the end of the day, the United States is not yet a real political power.

It's just that compared with the "old" European powers, the innate conditions of the United States are really too good, and although the vast colonies of Britain and France have brought them rich benefits, and at the same time sealed their enterprising hearts, it is the United States and Germany, which lacks colonies, are catching up behind......

Well, it's too far.

No sooner had his thoughts been withdrawn from the distraction than there was a knock on John's office door. Helen walked in with two cups of coffee, but she soon turned around and walked out again, for two cups of coffee were not enough, and Professor Osler, another big cow from the hospital, happened to be in Mr. Huntelaar's office.

Somewhat surprised to see that Ehrlich was also there, Professor Osler nodded at the other party in a friendly manner, and then said to John with a smile: "Mr. Huntelaar, I just received a call that Mr. Welch from Hopkins will be arriving in New York tomorrow, and he would like to have the opportunity to talk to us about medical school......"

I'm so irritable, and the more I write, the more biased I get (to be continued.) )
