The battle with the Bureau of Investigation is still ongoing, and by this time Angela has successfully reached the southern region of Mexico and has begun to explore for oil. With the covert support of Germany, Angela and his party were not harassed by the locals in Mexico, and Vivian also hired a large number of Mexican oil workers according to Zhuo Fei's instructions. At a time when Mexico and the United Kingdom and the United States have fallen out, the German-owned president of Blackwater has opened the eyes of the Mexican authorities to the possibility of government control of the oil fields.

After recruiting more than 100 veterans again, and Zhuo Fei also accumulated 30 people in his favorite, the Golden Shield Company stopped recruiting personnel before Hoover completely broke out. On April 1, 1938, which was supposed to be April Fool's Day in Western countries, Hansen and Bayer AG in Berlin jointly held a press conference, and more than 100 reporters from major newspapers and radio stations in European countries gathered in Berlin.

Press conferences had never occurred before Zhuo Fei came to Europe, and people seemed to be more accustomed to calling this kind of behavior a press conference. At 9 o'clock in the morning of April 1, in the venue rented by Bayer AG in Berlin, under the gaze of a large number of reporters, Bayer's press press release appeared on the stage. "Good morning, everyone, I'm Bayer, the press release for Bayer AG." As the news publisher, Beman looked around the reporters in the audience with a specially trained charming smile, and reached out to lift the red cloth on the front desk.

Under the red cloth is a circular tray in which these three vials are placed, and these three vials are the protagonists of this press conference. "Ladies and gentlemen, entrusted by Bayer Pharmaceuticals of Germany, I, Beyman Rebetta, would like to show you the latest product of Bayer Pharmaceuticals, a new anti-inflammatory drug - penicillin." The reporters gathered around the audience all focused their attention on the bottles of potions on the stage, and with Beman's introduction, the reporters present frequently took pictures of the bottles of potions with their cameras.

"Penicillin is an important antibiotic drug with high efficiency, low toxicity and wide clinical application, and its successful development has greatly enhanced the ability of human beings to resist bacterial infection, and has been affirmed by many patients in the clinical trial application of Bayer Pharmaceutical in Germany." Behmann took out a thick stack of data reports on clinical trial applications, and the staff at the venue distributed these trial reports to the reporters present, so that the reporters could have a clear understanding of the practical properties of this new anti-inflammatory drug.

In addition to the test reports, Bayer's press conference also hung a curtain in the venue for the screening of the film, and a short film about penicillin was screened for the many journalists present. Such a novel press conference is really rare, the press conference not only prepared relevant information for a group of reporters in advance, but also prepared a news clip that surprised the reporters, and for a while, the appearance of penicillin was spread by the reports sent back by a group of reporters.

"Mr. Hansen, I'm very curious if you planned such a press conference? It's just so good that our penicillin is already known to the whole world. The sales manager of Bayer Pharmaceuticals praised Hansen for a while, but the latter blushed a little when he heard it, all of this was planned by his own boss, and he was just a puppet who was pushed to the front desk. In fact, Hansen does not have to feel so ashamed, without the help of his family, even if penicillin is good, he may not be able to connect with Bayer Pharmaceuticals.

Based on the film and clinical trial data, Bayer has already begun to receive orders from abroad, the largest of which is from United Pharmaceutical in the United States. According to the secret agreement signed between Hansen and Bayer, United Pharmaceuticals is responsible for the distribution of penicillin in the United States, and United Pharmaceuticals only needs to pay one-third of the money to obtain the full amount of the drug. The first batch of penicillin shipped to the United States was only 50,000 units, and the number was 100,000, and these 100,000 units of 50,000 units of penicillin were dispersed into hundreds of hospitals in the United States in just three days.

"Zhuo, I now understand why your confidence in penicillin is so strong, this new drug is indeed very good, Bayer Pharmaceuticals shipped 100,000 bottles of penicillin to the United States, and in less than a week, it has been recognized by more than half of the hospitals in the United States." Andy has been very busy these days, in order to get this batch of penicillin drugs, Andy, as the president of United Pharmaceuticals, can be regarded as betting on his entire net worth, and now it seems that this gambling move has been greatly rewarded.

When he learned that the next batch of penicillin drugs shipped to the United States by Bayer Pharmaceuticals was only 50,000, Andy couldn't help but be anxious. "Zhuo, this is not good, penicillin has been recognized by the American medical community, we should increase the import of penicillin, why did Bayer suddenly cut the export of penicillin to the United States?"

"Andy, I don't agree with what you just said, but I think Bayer is doing the right thing." Regarding Andy's reaction, Zhuo Fei shook his head and smiled. "My friend, there is an old Chinese saying that scarcity is expensive, which means that no matter how much you have, it will not be worth much. Although penicillin has been recognized by the medical community in many countries, Bayer's production capacity is only so much, and I think they will continue to reduce penicillin exports to other countries until Bayer's production line is expanded. ”

Because Andy, who was rejuvenated by the first batch of penicillin, was in a hurry, after transferring $500,000 to Zhuo Fei, the only thing Andy could count on was the sale of penicillin, and if Bayer insisted on cutting penicillin exports, wouldn't his desire to enter the upper class be far away. The urgency on Andy's face made Zhuo Fei laugh, "Andy, at this time, you have to hold your breath, Bayer will not ignore you, the national sales agent." ”

The cooperation with Bayer to produce penicillin is only the first step of Zhuo Fei's whole plan, Bayer's first batch of 400,000 penicillins are all exported, and even Zhuo Fei himself did not expect that the practical application of penicillin will be so smooth. The rapid popularity of penicillin forced Zhuo Fei to advance the second step of this plan and cut the export of penicillin on the grounds of poor production. The advent of penicillin has attracted the attention of countries around the world, and the reduction of exports will not lead to a collapse in penicillin sales, but will lead to an increase in demand for penicillin in various countries.

In this case, Bayer Pharmaceuticals will continue to reduce the export of penicillin on the grounds of cumbersome production processes and low equipment capacity, and countries that urgently need penicillin can only turn to the German government for help in the face of Bayer Pharmaceutical's pretext. At this time, the German government will pretend to negotiate with Bayer Pharmaceuticals, and finally the United Pharmaceutical will make a proposal to suggest that Bayer Pharmaceuticals establish branches abroad to produce and sell penicillin drugs locally.

At this time, Bayer Pharmaceuticals was not only able to make its own demands with the help of United Pharmaceuticals' proposal and the needs of other countries, but the German government was also able to ease relations with other countries and import its own materials from various countries. Zhuo Fei's plan had already been handed over to Hansen to take to Berlin to hand over to Hitler, and if it weren't for Hitler's covert support, Bayer Pharmaceuticals' first batch of penicillin would not have been produced so quickly and all of it was exported.

Fishing can not be done without bait, penicillin is the bait in Zhuo Fei's hands, after the world saw the benefits and practicability of penicillin, and turned to the German government, the German government's proposal to purchase materials will also be much easier because of the beginning of Bayer Pharmaceuticals to set up factories in foreign countries. In Zhuo Fei's plan, Andy's United Pharmaceuticals will be the catalyst for the follow-up plan, and the United Pharmaceuticals is an authentic American company, and the proposals made by Americans' own penicillin agents will also be supported by the U.S. government to a large extent.

The purpose of Zhuo Fei coming to Andy's Manor is to stabilize Andy, and by the way, he will disclose the follow-up part of the plan to Andy, so that Andy's United Pharmaceutical can cooperate well with the follow-up implementation of the plan at that time. "Andy, the next batch of penicillin shipped to the United States by Bayer Pharmaceuticals may be 60,000 pieces, I don't think you can raise the price of the drug, as long as the price of penicillin is raised, you will not lose money." Zhuo Fei is deliberately hinting at Andy, so that the restless Andy can enter the trap smoothly.

"Price increase?" Zhuo Fei's suggestion made Andy's breath short, it is rare for a new drug to come out as smoothly as penicillin, but what Zhuo Fei just said was a price increase, Andy couldn't help but scream. "Zhuo, impossible, this is simply impossible, even if penicillin is a very good drug, but it is a new drug after all, and it needs the approval of many hospitals, if the price is suddenly raised, it will definitely cause trouble to the sales of penicillin, and it is absolutely impossible to raise the price."

Andy's answer made Zhuo Fei couldn't help but nod secretly, it seemed that Andy had not been stunned by the popularity of penicillin's pre-sales, "Andy, my friend, don't worry, I won't harm you." Penicillin sales in the U.S. are just part of my plan, and you'll see later why I'm cutting penicillin exports to the U.S. I guarantee that by June, you will definitely get a reasonable explanation and adequate compensation. ”

Two months is not a long time, but in Zhuo Fei's weekly plan implementation schedule, it is a key point between the first step of the plan and the second step. As long as the countries that have cut penicillin exports show their thirst for penicillin, under the promotion of those promoters arranged by Zhuo Fei, coupled with the proposal of United Pharmaceutical to establish a branch, Zhuo Fei's second step plan can be carried out.
