"Humph!"

After leaving the building where he negotiated with Morgan, John immediately couldn't help but snort and said with a sneer: "No wonder Tesla is unwilling to cooperate with these bankers, they have such a big appetite!" The contract for this alternating current has not yet been signed, and it even started the idea of my pharmaceutical company! ”

Compared with John's anger, old Huntelaar was much calmer, waved his hand and smiled: "Aren't you already very clear about the greed of bankers?" Just refuse directly, why be so angry? ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

After thinking about it, John also felt that he was overreacting. However, if you want to reach out to Heinz Pharmaceutical, this really touches John's bottom line.

Although one of the core of the Second Industrial Revolution was the Electric Revolution, John never thought about what he could do with Tesla and his own foresight, after all, the cake was too big for the Huntelaar family to control.

And to be honest, John didn't want to be in control either.

If the contract is signed and the contract is signed, the Huntelaar family will have a 30% stake in the New York Electric Company, which is valued at $5 million, which is more than enough. It is conceivable that even if more funds are added to the diluted shares in the future, these shares will bring him enough returns in the coming decades, which is indeed enough for John, who just wants to make a fortune from the development of alternating current.

If he wants to make money, he has more ways to do it.

The elder Huntelaar was obviously well aware of this, so as soon as Morgan expressed his interest in alternating current, the two of them did not object at all, and even helped to convince Tesla, who had little affection for the bankers.

Alternating current?

No problem, as long as the price is right, John will not hesitate to transfer all the shares of the power company.

General Motors?

No problem either. At the beginning, John only wanted a 20% stake and the right to use all future patents in North America, and only increased investment after Aurora's technology matured faster than expected, accounting for a large majority of the shares. In the future, if the auto industry starts to really grow in earnest, he will definitely not mind diluting his shares, even if it is a car company established in North America.

But Heinz Pharmaceuticals?

From the beginning to the end, John didn't think about getting the financiers involved. He can let his father-in-law, Mr. Brister, come in, and he will definitely generously give out shares in the future, but it can only be given to the company's executives, R&D personnel or bulls who are about to join, but he will definitely not invite these financiers in, even if the other party is Morgan......

"Hoo ......"

After exhaling a breath, John turned his head and smiled at old Huntelaar, "Grandpa, you don't need to see anyone next, do you?" You go home first, and I'll go to the hospital and see...... Today, the hospital is going to have its first operation after opening, and I am a little worried here. ”

"Good. Go ahead. ”

Old Huntlaar waved his hand and replied angrily.

To be honest with his genius grandson, old Huntelaar couldn't be more satisfied, the only pity is that this kid obviously has unparalleled talent, but he just wants to use it as a doctor......

……

"How's the patient doing?"

The first thing John did when he came to the hospital was naturally to find Thomas, who was in charge of surgery today, to inquire about the situation.

"Very good!"

Thomas, who had just returned from the ward, was obviously very excited, and nodded again and again: "The operation is done very smoothly, and Mr. Crawford looks good...... John. Would you like to go to the ward? ”

"Well, no."

After secretly breathing a sigh of relief in my heart. John also smiled and waved his hand, "This is your patient, I won't go to see it." By the way, those from Columbia College left? ”

"Well, it's not long since I left."

Speaking of the guests who came to observe the surgery today, Thomas had a headache.

Originally, I thought that it would be an honor for these doctors from Columbia College to come to observe the operation. And it is also of great benefit to promote the strength of Heinz General Hospital. But at the end of the day, Thomas was really a little annoyed by these people - from preoperative preparation to the surgical process, from disinfection measures to local anesthetic use, from postoperative care to the use of sulfonamides, several doctors almost asked a hundred thousand whys!

No matter how good Thomas is, he is a teacher. It's also a little unbearable.

Seeing that Thomas's expression was a little weird, John couldn't help but smile and said, "What? Are those people bothering you? It can't be another academic dispute, right? ”

It's no surprise that John had these thoughts.

In fact, at the end of the 19th century, the academic community was most likely to attack and argue with each other, and the medical community was naturally the same. For example, surgical disinfection technology is still being violently criticized by many American physicians, ignoring the fact that these theories have been proven by more and more facts and accepted by more and more surgeons. From Semmelweiss to Liszt and now John? Huntelaar, such a controversy persisted throughout the late 19th century.

"Not really."

Thomas hurriedly shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But they made a request today, they want to take turns to come to our hospital to learn surgical disinfection, local anesthesia, appendectomy and other surgical techniques, and they plan to send someone over next Monday......"

"That's a good thing, what are you bothering about?"

After hearing this, John suddenly asked in surprise.

The physicians at Columbia College wanted to come and learn new techniques, and John certainly wouldn't object to that. What he wants to do most now is to promote his new surgical concept and promote the progress of surgery. Moreover, Columbia College is also famous in New York, and their physicians come to Heinz General Hospital to study, which is also very beneficial to the prestige of the hospital itself!

However, compared to John's joy, Thomas's attitude was not very optimistic, and he said with a bitter face: "This is indeed a good thing, but John, don't forget, our hospital has just completed the first operation after opening today, and the patient was introduced by Dr. Doug, God knows when we will have a second patient...... How do we train patients without them? ”

"Uh......"

Hearing Thomas say this, John was also stumped for a while.

Thinking about it, John could only sigh secretly and said, "Thomas, didn't you say you were going to advertise a few days ago?" As long as the cost is less than $10,000, the rest is up to you. ”

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Thomas nodded and said, "It's okay, but can I decide the content of the ad at will?" For example, when I advertise, I might use your previous achievements to promote it, and I think New Yorkers would be interested in people who invented aspirin, sulfonamides, and local anesthetics. ”

"This ......"

After a slight hesitation in response to Thomas's request, John immediately nodded and said, "Okay, but it can only be limited to the medical field, and other things can't be nonsense!" ”

"No problem!"

Thomas smiled and left happily.

But......

When Thomas left with a smile, John's brow was still tightly furrowed. Now Heinz General Hospital actually has a lot of reputation, but it is mainly because of the large words on the roof of the building, and everyone must still have great doubts about coming here to see a doctor. The poor were worried that they would not be able to pay, and the rich had no habit of doing so, and that John was not very sure to rely on newspaper advertisements alone—how many people could see it?

"After all...... It's still up to you! ”

After pondering and pondering, John finally turned the year back to himself.

Are you also a traverser......

After sitting in his office for nearly an hour and searching through the knowledge stored in his head, John finally found what he was looking for......

……

It's a mess in my head, but I can still feel it, and what I've written lately is a little off. So starting today, turn around. (To be continued......)
