Volume 3 Chapter 107 The Worker Lost Contact (Bao 1)

After a brief look at the "production", the four of them returned to Li Sheng's office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeใ€‚ info

Last time, Fernando came over overnight to talk to Li Sheng about this, hoping to get some more shares. However, Li Sheng did not agree.

In this matter, Fernando is an absolute latecomer. If it weren't for Li Sheng's feeling that it would be impossible for the market in Huaxia to accommodate the paclitaxel produced on the farm in the future, he might not have informed Fernando at all.

Chen Bo: Although they still don't know the content of paclitaxel, the juice being squeezed by Silent Farm, everyone knows that paclitaxel is a much more valuable thing than gold. According to the unit price per unit weight, the price of paclitaxel is several times that of gold. Moreover, paclitaxel is currently the most effective drug for the treatment of lung cancer and other cancers, and it has been in short supply.

So they all want to take more shares. It's just that Li Sheng said that he would give half to each of the two families. Chen Bo is in charge of the Asian market, while Fernando is in charge of the European and American markets.

Since the share is not negotiable, then the next step is to negotiate the price.

How to price these juices is a challenge until the paclitaxel content and extraction technology is difficult to know.

Li Sheng took out an inspection and analysis report. That's a report from a previous inspection.

The report was in Portuguese, so he handed it to Fernando first, saying, "This is the report I sent the sample to the University of Manaus for testing." The concentration of paclitaxel in fruit juice is about 2.3%. There are several other components, but I've checked that those substances are fairly easy to isolate. โ€

After Fernando read the report carefully, he handed it to Chen Bo. However, Chen Bo is not proficient in Portuguese. Didn't look at it much, just looked at the data. Then I looked up the chemical formulas on my phone to see which ones were the active ingredients.

Fernando pondered for a moment and said in English, "How do you think we should work together this time?"

Li Sheng thought for a while, and in order to take care of the three of them at the same time, he said in English: "At present, the production of paclitaxel is mainly extracted from the bark of yew trees. Generally speaking, the paclitaxel content is only about 0.3%, and the particularly high content is only about 0.65%. Moreover, there are many kinds of organic impurities contained in it, and it is very difficult to extract. With the current process, the extraction rate is less than 70%. The price of yew bark is more than $10,000 a ton. โ€

He glanced at Chen Bo and Fernando, seeing that they didn't react, knowing that they had also known about these things before they came. "And the paclitaxel-containing juice from the farm contains about 10 times more paclitaxel than the bark of the yew tree," he added. And the extraction cost is much lower, and the extraction rate is estimated to be more than 95%. I intend to set the price at three hundred euros per kilogram. โ€

Chen Bo thought for a moment and said, "I can accept this price for the time being, but this needs to test the paclitaxel content of the juice." You also know that the amount of active ingredients that are grown and wild may not be the same. โ€

Fernando agrees with the price. He had checked the market price of paclitaxel before he came. One kilogram is about 400,000 euros. If it is really as Li Sheng said, according to Li Sheng's price, even if they need to lower the price of the finished product, the profit margin of the sale after extraction will be at least 50%. Such profit margins are already enough to risk going to the gallows.

Li Sheng nodded and said, "Of course there is no problem." You can take a small amount of the stock solution and go to the laboratory for extraction experiments. If there are differences, let's move on. The principle of follow-up negotiations is that according to the experimental results, the content of paclitaxel can be extracted in proportion to the content I just mentioned, and then the unit price is calculated according to the price I just proposed. What do you think?"

Chen Bo, Luo Zheng and Fernando all agreed with him.

Chen Bo and Fernando took the juice and left the farm in a hurry. Such an experiment they certainly don't do in Brazil.

Li Sheng didn't keep them any longer. Because this business is not necessarily the most profitable. This time, about one ton of pure paclitaxel can be produced. Even at the current market price, the total value is only about 400 million euros. If the market is hit by the expansion of production, the price may fall a little. Perhaps the price will drop to around 300,000 euros a kilogram. But they should entrust other companies or institutions to take it and then sell it, and this thing can be sold at once. And in the end, it can make tens of millions of euros in profits.

Money is still secondary, and more importantly, this thing represents influence, so to speak, power.

After Li Sheng sent the people away, he found Babur. He is responsible for the production of paclitaxel. But Cheng Dong is in charge of the planting.

"Babur. The pressing of paclitaxel fruit should be done in a hurry. You let Cheng Dong cooperate with you. Also, you go to Zhang Dingbian to discuss the security work of paclitaxel production. Li Sheng didn't look for Zhang Dingbian. Babur was the captain of the security team before, how to do a good job of security, there will be no problem with him and Zhang Dingbian to discuss.

Before Babur left, Zhang Feng walked into his office with a frown.

He looked up and saw Zhang Feng frowning, stood up and said, "Old Zhang, sit." When he sat down, he asked him while making tea. "What's going on?"

Zhang Feng said a little uneasily: "Cheng Dong went to Manaus with a compatriot worker yesterday to play, and said that he would come back today." But the pilots who had been shipping the goods came back and said they didn't show up and the phone was turned off. โ€

Li Sheng was also shocked in his heart, and his brows furrowed. He poured a cup of tea for Zhang Feng and said, "How long have the pilots waited to see them?"

"Waited for an hour. The airport asked them to take off right away, and they had to come back first. Cheng Dong: They haven't called back yet. Zhang Feng said worriedly. "If they encounter a thief who loses their phone, they have no problem communicating in the language and asking for help is not a problem. Now their phones are turned off, and there is no sound. I'm afraid something has happened to them. โ€

Zhang Feng's worries are not unfounded. As a fast-growing city, Manaus will definitely have some bad security. And Brazil is a country where guns are legal. It is not impossible for two Chinese people to encounter armed robbery or something. And he had even deeper worries in his heart. It doesn't matter if it's just the loss of money, the most important thing is that people are safe.

Li Sheng also had the same concern: "Did you call the police?"

"I have reported the incident to the Manaus police. However, they said that the adult had been missing for less than 48 hours and would not accept a report. โ€

Li Sheng knows that every country has similar regulations, and that is understandable. But if you have lost contact for forty-eight hours, and you encounter an accident during this time, you may not be the original person who chooses to find it.

The cop can be indifferent, but he can't.

He said to Zhang Feng: "You first go and ask the other workers who are familiar with Cheng Dong and another co-worker to see if they have any plans to go to Manaus, and in addition, ask who has been in contact with them in the end." Where and when they were last in contact. I'll ask Dingbian to arrange someone to find it. โ€

Manaus and Silent Farm weren't in the same state at all, he didn't have any influence over there, and if the police there had to keep the forty-eight hour rule, he really couldn't do anything. You can only let your own people find it first.

Zhang Feng knew that he could only do this now, so he agreed and left in a hurry.

Li Sheng waited for him to come out and wanted to call Zhang Dingbian to come over, but immediately remembered that Babur was looking for Zhang Dingbian. He didn't call again, but drove over.

Li Sheng went to the security team and found Zhang Dingbian, who was discussing with Babur. When the two of them saw Li Sheng coming, they were both surprised. Zhang Dingbian stood up and asked, "Boss, why are you here?" Just asked Babur to discuss with him to arrange paclitaxel security, and he will come again in person. This must be something else.

Li Sheng nodded to Babur and said, "An urgent matter has happened. Cheng Dong and a co-worker lost contact in Manaus. I agreed to come back on a cargo plane today, but I didn't see anyone, and the phones of both of them were turned off. โ€

When Zhang Dingbian heard this, he also knew the seriousness of the matter.

Farm workers sometimes take the farm's delivery plane to Manaus or Belรฉm on a holiday, and then wait for the next day's delivery fee plane to return to the farm.

Generally speaking, workers who go out to play will not turn off their computers. I was worried that the plane would arrive early but I couldn't get in touch.

Now that the two did not meet at the agreed time and the delivery plane, and the people could not be contacted, it could be basically determined that something was wrong.

He hurriedly asked, "When is it?"

"It was the delivery plane that didn't wait for someone to call back. Manaus police believe that the disappearance has not been more than 48 hours and will not accept the report. I asked Lao Zhang to find out who the last person they had contact with the farm was, and see where they had been. Now you organize some people and go to Manaus to find them. โ€

Zhang Dingbian immediately said, "Okay, I'll do it." He thought for a moment and then said. "We're not very familiar with Manaus, isn't Sandru from Manaus? โ€

Li Sheng nodded and said, "I'll talk to him." You see, first organize about 40 people, and then drive e195. โ€

As he spoke, he said to Babur, "Babur, paclitaxel security, you work hard, come up with a plan." โ€

Babur nodded and said, "Actually, Zhang and I have agreed on the same thing. I'll take care of it. โ€

Li Sheng nodded and said to Zhang Dingbian: "Then Dingbian, you organize the personnel as soon as possible and set off as soon as possible." โ€

Zhang Dingbian first asked the team members to contact Sandru, and then asked the team members to fly a helicopter to pick up the other party from the place of work.

Half an hour later, Sandru arrived.

Li Sheng told him that he was looking for someone and hoped to get his help. Sandru listened and immediately said, "I have no problem at all. And I'll get in touch, maybe the Cabocros of Manaus and other Indians can also help find someone. โ€

When Li Sheng heard this, he hurriedly said, "That's great." Thank you for your help. โ€

"Mr. Li, you are polite, you have helped us Indians, and we have never had a chance to repay it. โ€

Zhang Dingbian has already gathered 40 security team members. These personnel were redeployed from the security teams of the various production units. They just went out looking for people, and they didn't carry weapons like spears, but everyone wore pistols. Most of these people are licensed to carry guns, and they are not afraid of trouble when they carry pistols.

Knowing that Zhang Feng's investigation had not yet been concluded, Li Sheng asked Zhang Dingbian and them to go to Manaus first, and then contact them by phone. (To be continued.) )
