CHAPTER XXXVI
On September 1, 1954, a big news broke out at the University of Huntelaar that caused a sensation in the world!
John, who just sold all his property except for Huntelaar Bank? Mr. Huntelaar, at Huntelaar University announced a donation of $6 billion to Huntelaar University and $4 billion to Huntelaar University School of Medicine! This huge wealth will be remitted to the school's account within a month and will be at their disposal. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Before that, Mr. Huntelaar had signed a donation agreement to donate Huntelaar University, which originally belonged to him, and all the affiliated New York hospitals to New York City, on the condition that Huntelaar University would not be sold to any institution or individual for the next 100 years!
Without a doubt, this is the largest donation ever!
The mayor of New York and dozens of subordinate officials rushed to Huntelaar University as soon as possible to personally report to John? Mr. Huntelaar expressed his gratitude. Over the next month, the news continued to ferment throughout the United States and quickly spread around the world......
For a time, the whole world was in an uproar!
In 1954, how many countries in the world had a GDP of more than $10 billion? The annual GDP of the United States is only $300 billion or 400 billion, the United Kingdom is only $30 or 40 billion, and the vast majority of countries in the world that exceed $10 billion will not exceed 20! And just one university has received a huge donation of 10 billion dollars, which has shocked many people!
What's more, the university itself is also a symbol of wealth!
With an annual enrollment of more than 10,000 students, the fixed assets of Huntelaar University have exceeded $2 billion, including more than 60 world-class laboratories, and more than $250 million a year in research funding from the government alone. There is also the wealthier Huntelaar Medical College. It has dozens of affiliated hospitals and more than a dozen top laboratories in the United States, and its total assets are not less than the main campus, or even more.
Of course, in addition to fixed assets, we cannot but talk about the powerful Huntelaar Foundation!
The Huntelaar University Foundation, which was established in the 19th century, followed in the footsteps of the Huntelaar consortium, and by 1954 its total assets had grown from millions of dollars to six billion dollars! Every year, Huntelaar receives tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of dollars, from foundations to sustain the operations of its countless state-of-the-art laboratories.
And......
And that's not all, as Huntelaar University "produced" more and more scientists, physicians and entrepreneurs, the annual donations received from alumni continued to grow, reaching $34 million in 1954, and there is no sign of stopping!
And such a giant has received another 10 billion dollars in donations!
After the news spread, colleges and universities all over the world couldn't help but be envious and jealous, and they couldn't wait to go to the United States immediately to meet Mr. Huntelaar and ask him to donate some ...... to his school
In fact, John? Huntelaar also continues to donate.
On September 3, 1954, John? Mr. Huntelaar appeared at Columbia University School of Medicine, to which he donated $500 million in cash, a library, and a basketball court; On September 5th, John? Mr. Huntelaar arrived in Philadelphia to visit the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and donated $500 million in cash, a library, and a basketball court. On September 9th, John? Mr. Huntelaar arrived in the city of Cambridge......
From September 1954 to November 1954, John? Mr. Huntelaar visited all the schools in the Northeast 10 Schools, and in addition to the $10 billion at Huntelaar University, the other nine received $500 million, a library, and a basketball court. However, to the disappointment of the nine universities, Huntelaar designated that the donations could only be used for medical schools, and that no other college would get a piece of the pie. And after taking these 500 million US dollars, they must also undertake the task of foreign aid, and every year they will support the medical schools of those backward countries to help them improve and develop......
On December 4, 1954, John? Mr. Huntelaar arrived in Los Angeles.
The Osler School of Medicine in Los Angeles held a very grand welcoming ceremony, which was attended by government officials, including the governor of California and the mayor of Los Angeles, to welcome the arrival of the world's richest man. And the results that followed didn't disappoint them, John? Mr. Huntelaar announced that he would donate $2 billion in cash, a library, two stadiums, 10 buildings including the Anatomy Building, the Pathology Building, and a full set of state-of-the-art equipment to the Osler School of Medicine, for a total investment of $360 million in addition to cash!
Such a large donation is second only to John's investment in Huntelaar University.
But no one disagrees that the medical school, founded by the graduates of the Huntelaar Medical School and named after the dean of the Huntelaar Medical School, is considered by many to be a branch of their school. So for John? For Mr. Huntelaar, it was a matter of course for them to look the other way.
On December 18, 1954, John Anderson, who returned to New York? Mr. Huntelaar reaffirmed the establishment of a $6 billion U.S. Medical Development Fund to support U.S. medical research and fund those that lack state support. At the same time, a medical education fund with an amount of 6 billion US dollars will be established to support those American medical schools that have not received donations this time, so that they can carry out teaching reforms and update teaching equipment.
On December 24, 1954, John? Mr. Huntelaar announced a $400 million investment to establish Anna? The Huntelaar Prize, which awards prizes in basic medicine and clinical medicine every year, awards them with huge prizes......
In just four months, news has been shaking the world one by one!
From September 1 to Christmas 1954, John? Mr. Huntelaar has spilled $30 billion across the United States! If you add Huntelaar University itself and the Huntelaar University Foundation, he threw out almost $40 billion in just four months, more than the annual GDP of one UK!!
There is no doubt that this is a true gentleman!
Therefore, when the New Year of 1955 came, the President of the United States, several governors, mayors, experts, scholars, and almost all television stations in the United States expressed their heartfelt condolences to John? Mr. Huntelaar expressed their gratitude. And in the hearts of ordinary Americans, John? The name Huntelaar is even more sublimated. Whether it is the U.S. government or the American people, in their hearts John? Huntelaar was a true patriot......
After donating $40 billion first, everything John did next was a logical one.
On April 23, 1955, after his seventy-fifth birthday, John? Huntelaar left New York on the Al cruise ship and headed for continental Europe.
The first stop in Europe is London, England.
John? On the pretext that he was retired, Huntelaar declined a banquet for him from the royal family, the British government and the business community, but instead attended a welcome dinner hosted by doctors from all over the country. At this banquet, John? Mr. Huntelaar announced that he would donate $500 million each to the Oxford and Cambridge schools, and that he would donate his two football clubs, as well as all his land and assets, to the British College of Surgeons and the Royal Society, respectively. At the same time, the Huntelaar consortium's UK properties will also be given to the two clubs, guaranteeing that they will not be short of funding for decades to come......
On June 9, 1954, John? Huntelaar arrives in Hamburg, Germany.
At a time when all the newspapers in Germany were welcoming Mr. Huntelaar, Johan had just stepped off the cruise ship and delivered a speech entitled "Thanking Germany and Giving Back to Home", surrounded by thousands of journalists. He affectionately told his grandfather Huntelaar Sr.'s feelings for Germany, and also poured out his experience of studying and starting a business at the University of Berlin, and even mentioned everything about his plague outbreak in Hamburg......
"Needless to say, Germany is my hometown!"
Amid the cheers of many German journalists, Mr. Huntelaar said.
That's what John said, and in fact did, that's what he did, following the donation of 50 million dollars to the Institute for Infectious Disease Research in Hamburg, on the site of the former University of Berlin in downtown Berlin, Johan? Mr. Huntelaar has announced that he will donate a huge sum of five billion dollars to rebuild his alma mater, the University of Berlin!
This news caused a tsunami-like sensation in Germany!
As the crown jewel in the history of German higher education, the post-war disappearance of the University of Berlin is a pain in the hearts of all Germans. Huntelaar's donation of five billion dollars to rebuild the mother of modern universities has undoubtedly won the hearts of all Germans. The damage done to Germany by the Huntelaar consortium in the two world wars disappeared without a trace in an instant - that was five billion dollars, not to mention the reconstruction of one Berlin university, even the reconstruction of five!
And......
In addition to five billion dollars in cash, John? Huntelaar also announced that he would donate all his properties in Germany to the University of Berlin and that the former University of Berlin football team would return to the university! In other words, the University of Berlin received a huge donation of almost eight billion dollars! After receiving the news, the former professors of the University of Berlin, who had left due to the dismantling and destruction of the university, said that they would inevitably return once the University of Berlin began to rebuild. Even those old people who left Germany because of the war or after the war and went to Britain, France, and the United States were warmed up when they got the news......
On June 22, John? Mr. Huntelaar arrives in Munich.
The University of Munich received a donation of $500 million, along with a football team with a large plot of land and modern buildings in the city center. Together with the University of Berlin football team, they will be the contenders for supremacy in German football for decades to come! In addition to the University of Munich, the medical schools of several universities such as Heidelberg have also received donations from Johann, ranging from $100 million to $300 million......
Tens of billions of dollars in donations in Germany have caused an uproar in the United States.
It's one thing to donate money to the United States, it's another thing to donate it to Germany, especially since Germany was an enemy of the United States not so long ago. There was a lot of talk in the newspapers, and even the President of the United States called John several times to express his concern -- that was a huge sum of 10 billion dollars, and even the United States could not care less!
Merely......
On October 1st, John? A week after Mr. Huntelaar returned to New York, he made a public statement on Huntelaar TV: All the money is his personal asset and has the right to donate it to any country! As a German descendant and a graduate of the University of Berlin, he has an obligation to help his alma mater rebuild, and as a physician deeply influenced by German medical education, he also has an obligation to help the lonely German medicine return to the top!
At the end of his speech, John? Huntelaar said with a serious face: "I need to emphasize once again that all this money is my private property, and no person or institution, including the U.S. government, is qualified to interfere with their whereabouts!" And my donation in Germany is much smaller than my donation in the United States...... Next, I will also go to China, my third hometown, and I will also donate a lot of money, and I hope that this time no one will question me again, and you are not qualified to question me......"
