Chapter 10: Ciroth

"What? You say you have a better treatment for syphilis than 606 and 914, and you guarantee that there are no toxic side effects? Ying Yuanyue asked in shock.

Fang Hong nodded and replied: "That's right, in fact, there are scientists in the United States who can make this medicine in the laboratory, but they haven't found a way to mass produce it yet, so it has not been disclosed to the public." At this time, the team led by Chin Inn, Flory and Heatley at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States had indeed developed a laboratory method for penicillin, but the mass production would not be until 1943.

"I've heard of this too, but it seems to be still in the experimental stage, so it's very secret. Mr. Fang, where did you get this method? ”

Fang Hongjian hurriedly explained: "Oh, I have a teacher in Germany who is a member of this experimental group, I have seen him make this drug called penicillin in the laboratory, and I have also helped him to start it, so I am confident that I can make it, but I don't have the experimental equipment and environment now." ”

Ying Yuanyue pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Fang, if you don't mind, you can use our Zhongshan Hospital laboratory to conduct experiments, if there are any equipment and raw materials that you wish to provide, as long as it is not particularly difficult to find, we are also willing to cooperate with us." ”

But then he changed his words: "But I want you to be able to teach this technique to our experimenters." ”

"This is no problem, but because it involves patent issues, we can't sell this penicillin publicly, otherwise it will have a very bad impact on me and your hospital." Fang Hong gradually admonished.

"Well, you reminded you well, otherwise it would be a big trouble to be held accountable, after all, our Zhongshan Hospital has just been established, and we can't be caught in this regard." Ying Yuanyue echoed, and then sighed again: "It's a pity that we can't use such a good medicine for patients, it's really sad." ”

At this time, Fang Hong's eyes gradually rolled, and he suddenly thought about it, and said with a smile: "In fact, it is not impossible to use this medicine, a big hospital like Zhongshan Hospital naturally cannot be stained because of patent infringement, but I can open a small medical clinic and change the name of this penicillin, and when the time comes, patients with this need come to me for treatment, wouldn't it be possible to use good medicine, and bypass patent issues, and also protect the privacy of patients." ”

Hearing Fang Hongji's idea, Ying Yuanyue couldn't help but shake his head and smiled: "Xiao Fang, I think you will definitely be very successful as a businessman, because in this way, our hospital will not only help you make medicines, but also help you attract business, you are really good at this abacus!" ”

"This is also because I just came to Shanghai, and I need money in all aspects, so I naturally think a little more about this, and I ask you to be more considerate of Dean Ying!" Fang Hong gradually explained with some embarrassment.

Ying Yuanyue waved his hand and said: "You don't have to take this to heart, in fact, I was joking with you just now, now the price of goods in Shanghai I know how much pressure it puts on you young people, especially if you have to deal with Miss Su, the cost will naturally not be small, don't worry, as long as the penicillin you make is really effective, I will cooperate with you in this regard." ”

Fang Hongjian hurriedly assured: "You can rest assured at this point, there should be no problem with my preparation method." Well, why don't you take the Mr. Tang just now to do the experiment, do you think it's okay? ”

"Yes, it's because of him anyway. By the way, if it really works, you can make a small fortune on him, I tell you, this guy is quite rich! Ying Yuanyue kindly reminded.

After coming out of Ying Yuanyue, Fang Hong gradually returned home and slept for a while, and only went out in the evening when he was dressed up, because tonight he was going to attend the premiere of the first song he "created" in this world, and the venue was in the "Cinaus" nightclub where Liu Rusi was!

Located at No. 444 Jing'an Road (now the eastern section of CD Road), the "Cirous" dance hall was built in 1935 by Victor Sassoon, the richest man in Shanghai and a British Jew, according to the "Cinarous Dance Palace" in New York, USA, and was not completed until November 1936, when Sassoon only used it as a place for himself to entertain friends, and it was not until May 1937 that it was leased to Chinese to operate, and then it was officially opened to the public. (Now the Ciroth Ballroom is gone, and it has become Ciroas Plaza.) )

Because the agreed time was half an hour before the opening of the dance hall, Liu Rusi greeted him directly at the door, and introduced him to a man who was about fifty years old but had a straight waist and sharp eyes: "Mr. Fang, this is the seventh master, the boss of Cirous." Seventh Master, this is Mr. Fang Hong, who saved my life at Mr. Su's cocktail party last time and gave me this song "See Cooking Smoke Again". ”

"In the past few days, Mr. Fang's name has almost ground my ears out of the cocoon, and when I saw it today, it was really famous, and you were a literate person at first glance!" The seventh master took the initiative to stretch out his hand and greeted warmly.

"Seventh Master, Mr. Fang is a doctor who studied abroad, of course he is a cultural person." Liu Rusi added on the side.

"Oh, that's no wonder, no wonder you're so capable of saving people and writing songs. Especially your song "See the Smoke Again" is really well written, I can guarantee that Rusi will definitely be popular all over Shanghai Beach tonight with this song! ”

Fang Hong hurriedly said modestly: "Seventh Master, you have won the award, in fact, Miss Rusi is now popular all over Shanghai Beach, so it is definitely my honor that my clumsy work can be interpreted by Miss Rusi!" ”

Seeing that the two of them were talking endlessly, Liu Rusi diverted the topic on the side and said, "Seventh Master, let's invite Mr. Fang in to talk, it's weird and cold outside." ”

"Oh, look at me, it's rude to talk happily, I'm sorry, Mr. Fang, please inside!"

As one of the top dance halls in Shanghai at present, Ciroes is naturally richly decorated, but in the eyes of Fang Hongji, a traverser, it is nothing at all, but his indifferent attitude makes Liu Rusi and Qiye secretly say in their hearts that they are indeed characters who have stayed abroad and seen the world.

Because the dance hall had not yet opened at this time, the seventh master invited Fang Honggradually to his office on the second floor, and Liu Rusi chatted with him for a few words before leaving to go backstage to prepare, after all, she was the absolute protagonist tonight, so there were a lot of things to prepare.

After Liu Rusi left, the Seventh Master pondered for a while, and then suddenly asked a question that surprised Fang Hongji: "Mr. Fang, are you very familiar with the Su family?" ”

PS: Some book friends asked me, what are the three books that are opened at the same time, here are the answers to "Reborn as a Monk in Japan", "My Marvel Figure Lives" and this "Rebirth Fang Hongji".
