The atmosphere of the Eighth Route Army's office in Chongqing today was particularly tense.

The more than 20 commandos who had already arrived in Chongqing were all lurking around to prevent strangers from approaching.

Outside the chief's office, Xiao Yuan and several of the chief's personal guards directly blocked the door, and no one could approach.

In the office, Li Hao was reporting his progress in the past few days.

Hearing that penicillin had been successfully developed and the experiment had been completed, the effect was at least ten times better than that of sulfonamide anti-inflammatory tablets, and the chief was directly frightened.

stared at Li Hao and confirmed: "Comrade Li Hao, this kind of thing is not a joke, are you sure that penicillin really has such a good curative effect, and we already have specific production and purification methods." ”

"I'm sure!" Li Hao affirmed.

"Xiao Yuan, who was standing outside the door, as well as Dr. Zhang and Comrade Lin Xinran in the office, all witnessed our experiments with their own eyes."

"In addition, I also hired Lieutenant Colonel Jack, who brought an American doctor to witness the whole experiment."

The chief suddenly stood up from his position and interrupted: "Wait a minute, Comrade Li Hao, don't talk yet." ”

"Let me digest the news first."

"It's huge, and the impact is huge."

"An anti-inflammatory drug that is better than sulfonamides has been developed by you, and it can be produced on a large scale. In this way, most of our problem of lack of medicine has been solved at once. ”

"As far as I know, after the start of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, thousands of soldiers and civilians were forced to amputate their limbs, be disabled for life, or die directly of illness because there were no specific anti-inflammatory drugs."

"If the penicillin you are talking about can be produced and used in large quantities, then these soldiers and civilians can recover from it."

"Especially the wounded who come down from the battlefield, once they recover and return to the team, they are veterans."

"In a unit, the more veterans, the stronger the combat effectiveness, and in the next battle with the devils, the casualties of the troops will be smaller, and the more devils will be eliminated."

"When the soldiers are fighting the devils, they no longer have to worry about running out of medicine after they are injured......

"Comrade Li Hao, you are a hero of the revolution...... No, the hero of the whole country. ”

"You go on, how are you going to produce penicillin!"

Li Hao replied to the chief's increasingly hot gaze: "Chief, in order to avoid some trouble, I plan to set up a pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing in the name of Lieutenant Colonel Jack. ”

"Lieutenant Colonel Jack is the nominal director of the pharmaceutical factory and is responsible for all external affairs."

"Comrade Lin Xinran directly served as the deputy director of the pharmaceutical factory, specializing in production."

"In addition, the office will send some specialized talents to join the pharmaceutical factory, cooperate with Comrade Lin Xinran to manage the factory, and then produce penicillin on a large scale."

"After the product comes out, it will be supplied to all the troops of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army at cost price."

"It is sold to the Central Army, the Jin Sui Army and other anti-Japanese troops at the unit price of the cost price plus 20%, and is exclusively for the use of anti-Japanese soldiers and soldiers and civilians injured on the battlefield."

"Once it is discovered that some troops are reselling this kind of medicine, no matter who it is, if it is found once, the unit price of the medicine will be increased by 10% next time."

"The pharmaceutical factory is so big, raw materials, machine maintenance, and personnel salaries all need to be supported by funds."

"If you don't have a certain profit, you won't be able to last long, so you have to earn money."

"But there is one thing to reassure the chief, even if we raise the cost price by 20% and sell it, the price will only be one-tenth of the sulfonamide drugs on the market, which is equivalent to the original purchase of sulfonamides by various units can buy ten times the amount of penicillin."

"In addition, penicillin is more than ten times more potent than ordinary sulfonamides."

"Equivalent to the same procurement expenses, the purchase of penicillin can save 50 times more wounded soldiers than the purchase of sulfonamides."

"As long as there is no corruption and no drug reselling, the government's annual procurement of medicines will definitely ensure that every wounded person can use penicillin," the chief affirmed. ”

"Comrade Li Hao, I fully agree with the plan you said."

"However, this matter is too big for me to be the master alone."

"Also, penicillin was made by you personally, and the equipment and funds were also brought back by you personally, whether our Eighth Route Army Office wants to participate in it, I don't count."

"Although our Eighth Route Army believes in communism, your things are yours, public is public, private is private, and we must distinguish between public and private."

"We are grateful that you can sell penicillin to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army at cost price."

"Even if you are our party member and our cadre, it is the same, public and private must not be confused."

"I will report this matter to Yan'an as soon as possible and make a specific conclusion as soon as possible."

"What else? Say it together and report it together when the time comes. ”

Li Hao continued to report: "Penicillin will definitely attract the attention of all parties after its large-scale use in China. ”

"My idea is that, like a bazooka, we can directly sell the production formula of penicillin and exchange it for the funds and materials that we are in short supply."

"Our strength is too weak, and in the face of the prying eyes of all forces, we will definitely not be able to protect the safety of the formula, and the safety of ourselves and the workers of the pharmaceutical factory will be threatened."

The chief replied with an appreciative look on his face: "The idea is very good. ”

"Comrade Li Hao, I was worried just now that you were too young, guarding the cornucopia of penicillin and refusing to let go, planning to monopolize production, but now it seems that I am too worried."

"You're more mature than I thought you would."

"After penicillin became famous, it was not only a cornucopia, but also a hot potato, and it was definitely not suitable for holding it in your hands for a long time."

"Selling at the right time and selling it is indeed the best choice."

"For this matter, I still have the opinion just now: the formula is made by you, it is yours, and you can deal with it however you want."

"The last time we sold bazookas, we already took a big advantage, and this time we have to make a clear distinction between public and private."

"You can't let your efforts be in vain to make us a wedding dress."

"And that Lieutenant Colonel Jack, I don't care how you get him to agree to your cooperation."

"However, if there is any problem that cannot be solved by yourself, and you need the help of the office, you can mention it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you."

Li Hao hurriedly replied: "Thank you for your support!" ”

That night, Yan'an's reply arrived.

The chief didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "Comrade Li Hao, about penicillin, Yan'an has decided after research: In order to avoid all kinds of unnecessary contradictions, we will not participate in it, and the whole matter will be handled by you personally. ”

"In terms of purchasing drugs, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army will purchase at the same price as the Central Army."

"The profits of the pharmaceutical factory and the income from the trading of formulas are all your personal property."

"In addition, the establishment of the Eighth Route Army Office of the pharmaceutical factory is not involved, and you are all responsible for it."
