I was the Founding Father of the United States

Chapter 23 Dr. Chen's Reputation

After seeing Diana off, Chen Wenbin returned to his clinic next door, put on his white coat as usual, and sat down in the reception room on the first floor to prepare to see the morning's patients.

Before he could truly gain the power to protect himself, he had to cultivate his identity as a miracle doctor. Fortunately, after more than a month of training, David and Benjamin were already able to handle some patients with simple conditions.

For colds, coughs, and inflammation, use allicin. If the condition is serious, use more allicin. Only for difficult cases, external injuries, or VIP appointment patients will they be referred to Dr. Chen Wenbin, the "miracle doctor."

However, less than fifteen minutes after he sat down today, a commotion broke out at the door.

Then a dark-haired man in his mid-twenties with a scar on his face barged into the office, ignoring Mary's attempts to stop him.

This man, Martin Walter, was one of the crew members on the Chena. He was hired by the company two weeks ago because Chen Wenbin was short-handed, to serve as a market intelligence specialist... which was actually the head of the online army!

Martin Walter had just entered when he excitedly shouted at Chen Wenbin, "...Sir! They're insane! Those women are all insane!"

To prove they could earn more money than their husbands, they spun yarn all night last night, each of them spinning at least two pounds of cotton yarn!

Should we inform Black at the docks now and have him bring the cotton from the Newport warehouse over?

Chen Wenbin glanced at the overly excited man, shook his head slightly at Mary who had followed him in, then stared into his brown eyes and said seriously:

"Martin! Your job now is to keep an eye on the first batch of users of the Jenna spinning machines, not to make decisions for me!"

Providence's cotton reserves are not yet depleted, and market demand for cotton is not urgent enough, so the time is not yet right!

Do you understand?

Seeing Chen Wenbin's displeasure, Martin panicked and quickly said, "...Sir, I'm sorry! I wasn't making the decision for you..."

Knowing this guy's impulsive nature, Chen Wenbin waved his hand and said, "Alright! Remember, next time, don't barge into my office like a savage without my permission!"

"Yes, sir!" Martin immediately stood at attention and saluted Chen Wenbin as if he were facing Captain George Mills.

"Good!"

Chen Wenbin took out eight Spanish silver dollars from the drawer, placed them on the table, and instructed, "Take these silver dollars and continue to encourage more people to buy Jenna's spinning machines, just as I taught you before."

Starting today, we will also add specific examples, such as a lady who spun 3 pounds of cotton yarn in one night and could earn 5 pounds a month.

The story doesn't need to be too exaggerated; it needs to be based on facts. You shouldn't do it yourself; have your wife and sisters talk to the ladies they know and tell them these stories during casual conversations...

In any era, business success naturally relies on Google and marketing amplification. In North America, a society built on personal connections, there is no more effective marketing method than word-of-mouth.

Of course, word-of-mouth marketing is most effective for end customers like housewives. To increase brand awareness on a wider scale and at a higher level, it is necessary to use media outlets such as newspapers for marketing.

With £8,000 in financing, the company's accounts were more abundant than ever before, so Chen Wenbin had already finalized the GG order with newspaper tycoon Benjamin Franklin last night.

The Pennsylvania Gazette and the Boston Gazette, two of the leading newspapers in the North American colonies, will soon publish articles touting the profitability of the Jenna spinning machine, and should secure at least several hundred orders.

The only two problems he faces now are the production capacity limitations of the Jenna spinning machine and the inevitable emergence of counterfeiters.

The former has actually been resolved. In the past month, he has focused most of his efforts on modular production of the Jenna spinning machines. As long as the number and skill level of the workers increase, Chen Wenbin is confident that he can produce 500 machines within a month!

As for counterfeiters, it's impossible to completely eliminate them. After all, the structure of the Jenna spinning machine is not complicated, and it's easy for skilled carpenters and blacksmiths to build. They just can't replace the parts.

As for the colonial patent rights obtained by Providence United Industries... Ha! This thing is at most an advantage in litigation, and in reality, it is useless most of the time, because other colonies can completely ignore Rhode Island's patent protection.

However, if we could obtain a patent right in the UK, the situation would be different. The UK does a good job in patent protection to encourage invention, but the problem is that it is also difficult to obtain a complete patent right in the UK... It seems that going to the UK must be put on the agenda!

However, the time was not right yet. He remembered that after the Seven Years' War, Britain issued a bizarre Royal Proclamation that prohibited people in the North American colonies from exploring west of the Appalachian Mountains.

This greatly angered the people of the North American colonies, who ignored the ban and even attacked the checkpoints set up by the British army.

If he had waited until then to go to England with Franklin as a representative of the colony, he would have had an extra layer of protection, and there would have been fewer obstacles.

……

Over the next morning, Chen Wenbin saw three patients who had made appointments and paid fees (5 pounds VIP), two patients on a budget basis, and a child who had dislocated his arm after falling from a tree. With his current skill level, he could easily handle them all, and incidentally, he could also teach David and Benjamin, two students with medical talent.

With so many patients to practice on for free, and with the added boost of "overclocking," Chen Wenbin's medical skills have improved dramatically. He can now not only treat gunshot wounds, perform appendectomies, and treat hernias, but he has even invented a new type of curved-axis traction forceps, saving three pregnant women from difficult labor...

More importantly, almost none of the patients Chen Wenbin had treated had inflammation, including puerperal fever, which is very common!

"Once you become Dr. Robin Chen's patient, even Satan will have a hard time taking your life!"

This statement has already spread throughout Providence and is rapidly spreading throughout the North American colonies!

Even if there are patients he can't cure, their families won't blame him. After all, compared to other doctors who are practically butchers, Dr. Robin Chen is truly a miracle doctor!

There's no such thing as medical disputes!

Many patients who thought they were going to die were surprised to find that they had actually survived. They all came back to give Chen Wenbin gifts to express their gratitude. They heard that Chen Wenbin liked fur (actually, it was that girl Diana who liked it, but the rumor just spread). As a result, the storage room on the second floor of Chen Wenbin's house was filled with a large box of furs from various animals.

Well, speaking of this, it's all because of the contrast with my colleagues. These days, doctors have no awareness of sterilization and disinfection, which often makes them direct spreaders of viruses and bacteria.

Take puerperal fever as an example. The morbidity and mortality rates are very high in Europe and North America. According to data that Chen Wenbin heard from Dr. Zabdir Boyleston and others, two to three out of every ten women in New England will suffer from puerperal fever of varying degrees, and about one in twenty-five of them will die.

This was clearly due to the unsanitary hands and forceps of the doctor responsible for the delivery, which led to the mother being infected with bacteria such as streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and staphylococcus, resulting in puerperal fever.

However, Chen Wenbin has not yet announced this answer, because if he does, it would be tantamount to standing directly against all doctors!

Although he could prove the existence of these pathogens using Gram staining, revealing the truth rashly before he had sufficient resources would only backfire.

The only thing he could do was to ensure hygiene and disinfection when treating patients and delivering babies.

After spending the morning at the clinic, Chen Wenbin finished his lunch and was just about to ride his horse to the spinning machine factory to check on the production progress when he saw Governor Stephen Hopkins, Reverend Jason, and that fat old man Franklin getting off a carriage.

Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Chen Wenbin subconsciously thought that something had gone wrong because he had slept with Diana... but that didn't seem right!

All three knew about this, and both Reverend Jason and the Governor were encouraging. If it wasn't this... then what exactly happened?
