“…… The tower is so majestic, I can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished. ”

When John and Anna returned to the hotel from this morning's trip, Anna still couldn't contain her excitement and chirped like a bird.

"Haha, it's a pity we can't see it for the time being."

John shook his head with a smile and said with some regret: "Actually, I am still very interested in next year's Paris Expo, but unfortunately, we should be in New York and not Europe at that time." ”

John and the others were all strolling along the banks of the Seine this morning, and naturally they saw the Eiffel Tower, which was about to be completed in a few months.

Of course, John was very happy to see another famous landmark in his previous life, but he was even happier today when the two entered the hotel lobby, a young waiter quickly greeted him: "Is it Mr. Huntelaar?" There is a gentleman from the Institut Pasteur waiting for you! ”

"Oh? Where is it? ”

John's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked happily.

"John? Mr. Huntelaar? ”

At this moment, a middle-aged white man in his thirties walked over and said respectfully, "I'm Bastian of the Institut Pasteur?" Parker, it's an honor to meet you! ”

"It's my pleasure too, Mr. Parker."

John smiled happily, shook hands with the other party and said, "Does Mr. Pasteur have time?" I really want to meet him! ”

"Of course, sir."

Nodding his head quickly, Parker smiled: "Mr. Pasteur is also very interested in meeting with you, but because he has an important matter to attend to in the afternoon, he hopes to invite you to dinner at home, do you think it's okay?" ”

"No problem!"

Without any hesitation. John immediately agreed.

For him, he didn't want to meet Pasteur out of cooperation or other reasons, but just to satisfy his curiosity to meet famous people in the history of medicine, so it didn't matter if he met there, it would be wonderful to be able to have dinner with Pasteur......

……

"Good evening, Nathan."

When a middle-aged white man walks into Pasteur's home in Paris led by a servant. Madame Pasteur was somewhat surprised.

"Good evening, Auntie."

The middle-aged white man took off his hat and coat and handed them to the servant, and said with a smile: "Sorry for not telling you in advance, I just passed by here, and I happened to come to see you and Uncle Pasteur...... Where is he? ”

"It's in the bathroom."

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Madame Pasteur's expression was a little embarrassed and said, "It's time for dinner, but it's ......."

"But what?"

After sitting down, looking at his aunt's expression was a little strange, and the middle-aged white man was suddenly a little curious.

He was not Pasteur's own nephew, but the son of a close friend. It's just that because the relationship between the two families is very close, the Pasteurs have always treated him as a son. He would definitely come to visit his house when he had time, and it was normal for him to stay for a meal or something, but how could Madame Pasteur's expression be so embarrassed to-day.

After hesitating for a moment, Madame Pasteur smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry Nathan, your uncle has a guest coming tonight, and it seems that he still attaches great importance to the guest, so ......"

"Oh. That's it! ”

After hearing these words, the middle-aged white man named Nathan suddenly realized. If it's usual. There is no problem with him coming suddenly, but it is another matter if there is a reservation for a guest to come.

"Otherwise, I'll come back to see you and Uncle Pasteur another day."

I didn't care about it in my heart, and the middle-aged white man stood up and asked with a casual smile: "Is it a great person who can make my uncle pay attention to the guest?" ”

Madame Pasteur nodded, and said with a slight smile: "Is it John?" An American in Huntelaar, the kind of diphtheria antitoxin serum and x-rays that your uncle has been paying attention to lately. This person must have invented it. ”

"You say...... What the? ”

After hearing this, the middle-aged white man's body as he was about to get his hat and coat suddenly stopped......

……

Ten minutes later, a young man and a woman arrived at Pasteur's house.

"Good evening, Monsieur Pasteur."

As soon as he entered the door of Pasteur's house, John took off his hat and bowed respectfully, saying, "It's an honor to meet you." Mr! ”

"Good evening, Mr. Huntelaar."

After the second stroke, Pasteur's body was already very inconvenient, so he could only sit on the sofa and nod and smile bitterly: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid my body doesn't allow me to get up and shake hands with you." ”

"No, no, you can just sit down."

John hurriedly stepped forward and shook Pasteur's hand before handing over the hat and coat to the servants beside him.

Next, naturally, it's time to introduce the others.

John introduced his fiancée, Anna? Brister, while Pasteur introduced his wife Mary? Annie? Roland, both of them gave a standard European lady's salute, and finally introduced the middle-aged man who had been looking at John with a strange gaze just now: "Mr. Huntelaar, this is Nathan of the Delin Chemical Company?" Mr. Du Bois, when I heard that you were coming, I wanted to see you......"

When introducing the identity of the middle-aged man, Pasteur's expression was slightly embarrassed.

As an old man who is already sixty-six years old, Pasteur does not know how many things he has experienced in his life, so he naturally guessed the intentions of this nephew, which is why he is so unhappy. But on the other hand, it is also because he treats him as his own son, so there is a certain amount of indulgence faintly, otherwise this kid would not dare to be cheeky without his acquiescence.

"Good evening, Mr. Huntelaar, Miss Brister."

After taking a deep breath, the middle-aged man greeted the two of them warmly.

"Delin Chemicals?"

Although he was a little surprised, John smiled and shook his hand, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Du Bois. ”

His mind turned a few times, and John had vaguely guessed the meaning of the opposite, but his face was silent.

After the two sides were seated, John took the initiative to laugh and said, "Mr. Pasteur." In fact, when I came to Europe to study a few years ago, I wanted to visit you, but unfortunately there was no suitable opportunity at that time...... However, I have been following your research for the past few years, and your achievements in rabies in particular are amazing! ”

Pasteur's most important achievement was, of course, the theory of bacterial pathogenesis, but that was decades ago.

"Hehe, the news about you is also very lively during this time!"

Meet John? Huntelaar, the back of his recent fame, Pasteur also seems to be quite happy. He said with a smile: "I have seen the X-ray photos, and they are indeed amazing!" And your research on diphtheria antitoxin serum is also very exciting......"

After a few moments of greetings, they were greeted by Madame Pasteur, and they soon went to the dining room to begin their meal.

The dinner was sumptuous, and it seemed that Madame Pasteur had prepared it with great care, and that French cuisine, though not as famous as it had been a hundred years later, was indeed superior to that of the Germans and Americans, and John and Anna were very satisfied.

At the dinner table, John and Pasteur also chatted very happily.

But what puzzled Madame Pasteur and Anna was a little. The topic of the two is not involved in academics at all. It stands to reason that Pasteur studied bacteria, and John's research on diphtheria was also related to this, but no one mentioned this until the end of the whole dinner, talking about John's education and Pasteur's previous experience.

Because both of them know very well in their hearts that it is definitely impossible to cooperate in research or something.

John's visit to Pasteur was more out of a fan mentality, wanting to meet the big bull, and although Pasteur was very interested in John's research, on the one hand, his body did not allow it. On the other hand, his current focus is on the Institut Pasteur. I focused on continuing my research on rabies, but I was interested in John, who had become famous in recent years, so I invited him to my home......

I have to say that Pasteur, who is in his sixties, is really old.

For people of this era, even the average life expectancy in Western Europe is not too high, and Pasteur is 66 years old plus he had a stroke last year. After dinner, I couldn't suppress the tiredness on my face.

Of course, John would not keep chatting with himself, and sensitively noticed that Pasteur was a little in good spirits, and smiled slightly: "Sir, it's not too early, and the two of us will leave today...... I hope to see you again in the future! ”

"Huh. You are always welcome to come back and visit! ”

Pasteur also knew his physical condition, and after a little hesitation, he didn't do much to save it.

But at this moment John hesitated, and suddenly said, "Sorry, Mr. Pasteur, there is one last thing...... I wonder if I can please help? ”

"Oh? What's the matter? ”

Stunned, Pasteur asked with some puzzlement.

Smiling a little embarrassedly, John said, "Sir, I don't know if you've heard of Heinz Pharmaceuticals?" ”

"Of course I did."

Without any hesitation this time, Pasteur immediately nodded and smiled: "The company that produced sulfonamides and aspirin is now the most famous pharmaceutical company in the entire European medical community...... Hey? Could it be that this company ......"

Looking at John's young face, Pasteur was suddenly stunned.

Also stunned is Nathan? Du Bois, of course, had the cheekiness to stay this time to get to know John, because after seeing the news, he had already discovered the great value of that antitoxin serum. But now when I hear John mention the famous Heinz pharmaceutical company, I think of the other party's last name......

Sure enough, John immediately nodded and smiled: "Heinz Pharmaceutical Company is my industry, with factories in Berlin and New York. But for various reasons, I would like to build two factories in the UK and France as well, or find someone to work together to produce those drugs, including the diphtheria antitoxin serum that will be available soon......"

"Goo-dong!"

What does John say about Nathan? Du Bois could no longer hear, he only knew that what was now in front of him was an opportunity, a huge opportunity...... (To be continued......)
