September 12, 1910. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

New York Pier.

At the largest berth in New York Harbor, a huge white cruise ship is parked at this time, the cruise ship Elizabeth of the Huntelaar Shipping Company!

On September 12, it was the maiden voyage of the Elizabeth.

Today's Huntelaar Shipping Company is already the second largest shipping company in the United States, second only to IMM International Shipping Company of the Morgan Consortium, and according to their plan, the number of cargo ships will increase by 50% in the next two years, properly surpassing IMM International Shipping Company and becoming the first in the United States! Although many people think that this development is too fast, and it is difficult to pay for the huge investment quickly, under the insistence of Mr. Huntelaar, several shipyards are still built in large quantities, and almost every month a freighter is launched.

In the process, the technical level of several shipyards began to grow by leaps and bounds!

The Newport News shipyard mainly builds battleships and other warships, but several other shipyards under its umbrella mainly build cargo ships and cruise ships, and the division of labor and cooperation quickly accumulate experience. And, more crucially, with the intervention of Taylor and Mr. Huntelaar, several shipyards began to implement the principle of standardization, and all ship components began to be universally designed, reducing costs and facilitating future repairs......

Let's get back to business.

As the first passenger cruise ship of the Huntelaar Shipping Company and the only cruise ship in recent years, the Elizabeth can be described as quite luxurious. Of course, compared with the three Olympia-class cruise ships being built at this time - including the Titanic, the Elizabeth is definitely far inferior, after all, John is not interested in competing with Morgan for the most luxurious title, but as one of the faces of the company, the Elizabeth named after John's mother still costs more than six million dollars!

In this era, the United States is definitely the most luxurious ship.

"Gentlemen, I hope this ship will make your journey a little more enjoyable."

Facing the two old friends who were about to leave, John said with a sincere face: "I have booked two suites in first class for you, and I have already told Mr. Captain your identity, I believe they will take good care of you." “

“…… Thank you, John. ”

Osler stepped forward and hugged John, and said gratefully.

"Tsk, that's saved me a lot of money!"

Following Osler, Ehrlich, who had just hugged Thomas, walked over, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I heard that tickets for this ship of yours are very popular, and the ticket price for the first-class suite is more than three thousand dollars, right?" ”

The first class ticket on the Elizabeth is extremely expensive, with a single berth in the first class costing more than $100, and the price of a suite is more than $3,000, which is definitely a sky-high price! Although Osler and Ehrlich have been paid well over the years, especially Ehrlich, who has a lot of drug patent dividends, is not bad for money, but the gift of 3,000 US dollars still makes people feel very happy.

And more importantly, this ticket may not be able to be bought if you have money!

Today, the Elizabeth is in its prime, with the title of the most luxurious cruise ship in the United States, and it is also a maiden voyage, I don't know how many rich people want to take a lottery. Although the first-class suites are expensive, there are many wealthy people in the United States these days, and I am afraid that only John, the owner of the Elizabeth, can leave two sets for them in one go......

"Haha, it's good that you guys are comfortable."

Laughing and hugging Ehrlich, John said nonchalantly.

An investment of a few thousand dollars, of course, John would not look at it, he was more concerned about whether it would be okay to cross the Atlantic at the age of Osler and Ehrlich. After so many years of getting along, John and these two historical giants are already very good friends, and he hopes that the two can return to Europe comfortably......

"Woo......"

With the sound of a high-pitched whistle, the Elizabeth slowly left the dock. The huge steamer split the waves and headed for the other side of the Atlantic, and looking at the snow-white hull under the hot sun, John was a little distracted for a while.

On September 1, 1910, the Huntelaar Medical College completed its alternation of the old and the new.

When another class of freshmen entered the school, the dean of the School of Clinical Medicine who stood on the stage to speak was Harvey, the first graduate of the Huntelaar School of Medicine? Cushing 's; The dean of the School of Basic Medicine was a third graduate, a student of Ehrlich, Merrick? Clinton; The dean of the School of Public Health is a graduate of the fifth class of graduates, Michael? Loew; The dean of the College of Pharmacy is a third-class graduate, Harris? Carter; The dean of the School of Nursing is Marisa, who is only thirty-six years old? Hunter River......

All graduated from Huntelaar Medical College and grew up at Huntelaar General Hospital.

If it had been decades later, even if it had been more than ten years, John would certainly not have done this. After all, for medicine, academic inbreeding is the most important thing, especially a medical school and a large hospital, which must ensure academic diversity. So normally, even if you take care of your own children, you can't recruit them all.

But in this day and age, John really couldn't help it.

The level of education at Huntelaar Medical College is unique in the United States and even in the world, far exceeding similar institutions. Hopkins, the only one in the United States who can distinguish himself from them and compare with them, basically copies all the things of the Huntelaar School of Medicine, and even the textbooks are all used without missing a book, how to choose? John had the intention of choosing a few from Europe, but ...... How many young elites are willing to come to the United States these days? John persistently digs people every year, and only one hundred and eighty people have been dug up over the years.

So after entering the 20th century, John rarely made a big effort to poach people.

Compared to the cost of poaching people from major European medical schools or hospitals, John prefers to select elites from his own schools and send them to Europe for two years. It's not that you have to learn much, after all, there is no place in Europe that is better than his subordinates these days, but it is extremely important for doctors of any era to exchange each other's academic ideas and broaden their horizons......

"Speaking of which, Flixner is going to New York next week, right?"

Somehow, John's thoughts suddenly radiated to Fryxner, who was about to finish his investigation.

After four years of surveying more than 100 medical schools in the United States and more than 140 medical schools in Europe, Fleetner finally completed the famous Fleetner Report. John received a telegram from him the day before yesterday and would arrive in New York next Tuesday to discuss the contents of the report with him.

For this Flexner, John also attaches great importance to it.

Because in this report, which can change medical education in the United States, according to his requirements, some special content has been added, and this content is exactly what he desperately needs. It was the addition of this content that almost added a year of work to Fletchner's workload, which would otherwise have been completed last year......

"Sir, all the cargo has been loaded onto the ship."

Just as John frowned and pondered, a middle-aged white man walked up to him and said respectfully.

"Huh? Oh, and let's go as soon as possible! ”

John, who had been awakened from his contemplation, was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood, nodded and ordered, "Tell Harry that these ships must arrive in Shanghai as soon as possible, and I don't want the slightest delay!" ”

"Understood, sir!"

After a respectful salute, the middle-aged white man immediately trotted away.

"John, what are you sending to Shanghai?"

At this time, Thomas also recovered from the sadness of Lao You's departure, and asked with a smile when he heard the words. In the upper echelons of the Huntelaar system, John's feelings for that ancient country in the East were almost well known, and Thomas certainly did not know it. In fact, in the past two years, John has been sending people to China, many of whom are graduates of Huntelaar Medical College, and the high salary has given them enough motivation. So as soon as he heard that there were several ships of goods to be sent to Shanghai, Thomas's curiosity couldn't help but be hooked.

"Hehe, it's just some medicines and medical supplies."

Speaking of the cargo on several ships, John's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of gloom, and he reluctantly smiled: "A few of our students who went to China found some bad signs, and I asked people to send a few boatloads of medicines first, which can be regarded as a preparation ...... in advance" (to be continued. )
