700 Pharmaceutical business
So a few days later, there was another row of stilt houses next to the stilt houses where the two lived, which was the predecessor of the later "Wanshan Navigation College" ---- "Wanshan Primary School".
Huang Ai and his wife plan to take turns to give cultural classes to these children, and then train these children in all aspects according to each person's academic performance.
Of course, there are two main directions: one is the cultivation of pharmaceutical factories and medical talents on Huang Lei's side, and the other is the training of navigators on Xiao Ai's side, in short, it is quite targeted.
This school later developed into a specialized navigation school, "cut off" a lot of orphans from the mainland, the scale of the school is getting bigger and bigger, and later from the Wanshan Navigation College part of the faculty, opened an army school---- "Wanshan Army Officer School", the form and content of the school and the ** later in Xin'an City "Xin'an Army Military School" is the same, is the predecessor of the three famous military schools of the Australian Federation.
Well, that's another story.
The Pride anchored at the East Beach Pier until the afternoon of the next day, and she will continue her trade mission without saying anything about it.
Now back on Xiaowanshan Island, with the reclamation of wasteland and road construction temporarily over, Huang Ai and his wife began to shift their focus to the construction of pharmaceutical factories and ammunition factories.
On 25 October, Macao sent a telegram from the Red Chamber, sent by Sun Lao, in which he reminded Dai Huang Renai and the others that the safety and protection work of Xiaowanshan Island should be stepped up; after all, the Wanshan Islands are located in the open sea outside the mouth of the Pearl River, and they belong to the land outside the law.
In the telegram, Elder Sun reminded his brothers, saying that now that the weapons and ammunition have been delivered to you, and you also have personnel, you must quickly form the armed forces.
Sun Lao also reported another news related to this side in the telegram:
In order to improve safety, the barrel is a two-layer structure, the inner layer is made of bronze, and the shell is made of high-strength alloy steel from the old world in the cave.
The two deputies immediately responded behind the telegram forwarded, "Elder Sun reminded me in a timely manner, and you have not found any ships nearby when you are doing training and sailing at sea these days, but it is indeed necessary to be vigilant and take precautions."
The two acting people suggested that in this case, the two of you on the island should make a general division of labor, one person is mainly responsible for production and construction, and the other person is mainly responsible for safety and security.
So Huang Ai and the two roughly divided the work: Huang Lei was responsible for production and construction, and Xiao Ai was responsible for safety and security, crew training, supply and transportation, and the construction of armed forces.
Of course, this is just a general division of labor, the two have no relationship between superiors and subordinates, there are major matters that the two have to discuss with the acting two of them in Macau, Dai Xiaoshan, as the official trade representative living in Macau, is the leader and the person in charge of decision-making, and the brothers have a tacit understanding: the final decision is made by Dai Xiaoshan.
And the general daily affairs on the island are Huang Ai and the two of them discuss and make decisions, Xiao Ai is a modest person, he always has to let Huang Lei take the final idea when there are things, Xiao Ai thinks that after all, Brother Huang graduated from the Old World Medical University, and his knowledge level is quite high, and he is also a brother in terms of age.
Obviously, there are two pressing tasks on the island at present, one is to form and train armed forces, and the other is to quickly build two factories.
In particular, the pharmaceutical factories are now entering the twilight of autumn, and the next few months will be the peak of the plague epidemic, and now the demand for penicillin in the church system and the four Chinese merchants in Macau has increased dramatically, and Dai Xiaoshan Renke's small workshop in Macao is completely unable to meet the demand.
As for the ammunition factory, of course, the sooner it is completed and put into production, the better, but the ammunition factory has a staff training problem---- although Dai Xiaoshan has entrusted four Chinese businessmen to go to the mainland to recruit craftsmen for the system, but it seems to be very difficult, because whether it is a black ** or a craftsman who makes black**, the government is very tightly controlled.
Especially in the area under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, those places are now a new dynasty and a new atmosphere, and the ban is strictly controlled, according to the feedback from the four Chinese businessmen, it is now more and more difficult to buy ready-made black ** to Macao, and even nitrate is also in the list of controlled exports, and at the same time, the flow of relevant craftsmen is very tightly controlled.
Fortunately, the procurement of sulfur and nitrate is not only a source in the mainland, and the four Chinese merchants and the European merchants from Macao can transport these materials and raw materials from Dayuan Island and Annam, except for a little more expensive, they have little impact in other aspects.
As for the issue of building the factory first, Huang Ai and the others discussed it carefully, and finally decided to carry out the construction in line with the principle of doing what is the most profitable first.
So the final decision was: build a pharmaceutical factory first.
The main force of labor in the construction of the pharmaceutical factory was the sailors on the Assassin, and under the leadership of Xiao Ai, they acted strictly under the command of Huang Lei, and under the guidance of this great expert, the work went smoothly, and it took them only ten days to build the factory on the edge of the cliff on the east side of the terrace in Yaqian Town.
The factory is located on the edge of a seaside cliff on the Terrace Peninsula, where the wind and water are downstream, far from the settlements, and the space is also spacious.
The factory building and fence of the pharmaceutical factory are made of bamboo and wooden planks, the core process operation workshop is a courtyard surrounded by four rows of stilt houses, and the yard outside the house is a fermentation site for strains and strains.
After the completion of the Xiaowanshan Island Pharmaceutical Factory, it can not only produce penicillin, but also oxytetracycline and streptomycin, which is a new achievement created by doctors since the initial research and development of penicillin in the cave last year.
In addition, in the next step, the doctors also plan to ask the Pride to regularly supply the pharmaceutical factory in Xiaowanshan Island with basic pharmaceutical-related organic chemicals such as ethanol, aldehydes and sulfonamides produced by Baisha Group, so that it can produce various potions and pills for disinfection and sterilization: such as red potion, purple potion, iodine wine, sulfonamide pills, etc.
According to the doctors' plan, the above products will be put into production by the end of the year.
The doctors also have big plans for Macau's pharmaceutical industry: they intend to put the production of Yunnan Baiyao on the agenda.
Because Lao Wang has just successfully transplanted the seeds of Tianqi and Binchuan Aconitum in the cave, which are the two key raw materials of Yunnan Baiyao.
After comparing and analyzing the original Yunnan Baiyao that had just been purchased from Yunnan a while ago, Dr. Quan confidently announced that because Anna's technical information to us is very comprehensive, and there are physical objects for reference, it is expected that the self-made process can be finalized before the end of the year.
In this way, Yunnan Baiyao will soon be able to enter the stage of large-scale production, and obviously, this is a project to make a lot of money.
In short, the doctors plan to make full use of the geographical advantages of Macau and Wanshan Island, so that these drugs can be marketed in mainland China and Southeast Asia, and quickly spread the reputation of Wuzhou Pharmaceutical.
After the completion of the Xiaowanshan Island Pharmaceutical Factory, Huang Lei immediately devoted himself to the recruitment of employees, and Dai Xiaoshan, who was in Macau, also actively participated in it, he first sent the small stone house and the four old mothers of the Qiao family who were working in the yard and their daughters and servants, a total of 12 people.
This does not include the "maids in the room" that the ancestors of the Qiao family gave to Dai Xiaoshan a while ago, although Lilia is very happy to see her husband send these "little fox spirits" away, but Lilia also knows that if her husband really does that, she is afraid that she will be criticized by the Qiao family very seriously.
