On the other side of the ocean, San Francisco in the United States, a city created during the Great Gold Rush in the West, is the main area where Chinese laborers are sold as piglets, and there is sweat and blood shed by Chinese laborers on every inch of land.

One day in May, the weather didn't seem to be very good. In a San Francisco hospital, the sweltering heat irritated James, who had been employed by a pharmaceutical company called Huasheng a week earlier, had no other way to sell his company's new drugs to it.
In the doctor's office, Mr. Henry was holding a sleeping child and pleading with the doctor in front of him with tears streaming down his face.
"Please, doctor, save my child, save him, he's only six years old!"
"Mr. Henry, I understand your feelings, very well, but the condition of your child is very bad at the moment, and I believe you also know that you do not have the funds to save your child right now. So, there's nothing we can do about it. ”
"$2,000, where did I get $2,000!" Looking at the doctor in front of him who was about to turn away, Henry felt like he was about to collapse. At the beginning of the year, he was unfortunately fired by his company, and now he really has nothing.
"This... I understand your feelings, Mr. Henry, but I'm really sorry that we are a hospital, not a welfare institution. And, I can tell you responsibly that apart from our large state hospitals here and in other states, the other small hospitals are helpless against Little John's condition. I hope you can figure it out that sepsis is a disease that is completely impossible to cure with current medical methods. With that, the doctor left and walked to the other wards.
James, who was waiting outside, was restless, and his eyes lit up suddenly when he heard the word sepsis. So, he confidently walked into the ward, and greeted himself: "Hi, guys, hello, introduce yourself, my name is James, I'm sorry, I heard about sepsis just now, did anyone have sepsis?" ”
"Yes, sir, it's my son Little John." Henry said with a pained expression.
"Oh shit, that's unfortunate." After a pause, James continued, "But, God bless you, gentlemen, you should be glad that you have met me today. Know what I do? I work for a pharmaceutical company, and now our company's technicians have successfully developed a new drug, which is called sulfonamide, which has a good cure effect on sepsis, pneumonia, and postoperative infection. ”
At this time, hearing James's words, Henry seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, holding the child in his hand and rushing towards James: "Sir, please, save my child, you must save my child, he is only six years old." ”
Seeing a big man with tears streaming down his face, James was also a little sympathetic in his heart, so he nodded in a panic and said, "Yes, yes, you are a respectable father, I will try my best to help you." Look, what a lovely little angel! Trust me, God will bless him. ”
"What did you say?" The doctor, who had not yet walked out of the ward, also had a shocked expression. Seeing the doctor's expression, although James was secretly proud in his heart, he smiled calmly on his face: "Yes, man, you heard it right, a new medicine can treat sepsis, what's wrong?" ”
"Oh God, you're not wrong, are you? How come I've never heard of it? The doctor could be said to have exclaimed at this moment.
James shrugged his shoulders, and then said: "Sir, I have to regret to tell you that this is the latest drug developed by our company, which has been clinically verified by more than 100 cases and has achieved remarkable results. Now that we have started mass production, I am specifically selling this drug to your hospital. ”
After speaking, James took out a box of injections, and at Henry's request, the doctor injected 5 milliliters of the medicine into Little John's body, and then gently pulled the quilt over the child's body. He turned around and said, "Mr. James, if your new medicine really has the effect you said, I think I will report it to the dean." ”
"Thank you!! Thank you! Henry next to him also said to James with a grateful face at this time.
Two days later, little John, who was sentenced to death by the doctor, miraculously appeared in the hospital amid laughter. And the child's miraculous recovery has also made some doctors begin to pay attention to who saved the child. Finally, under the investigation of interested people, they found out that it was from a promoter of Huamei Pharmaceutical Company named James. And just like that, a report requesting the purchase of sulfonamides soon lay on the desk of the director of the hospital.
When sulfonamides entered San Francisco, no one cared about them at first, because no one believed in the miracle of the drug, and no one was willing to pay so much money for it. No one expected that the way it finally opened the situation was actually to a little boy who was suffering from sepsis.
A news outlet in San Francisco began to report on the incident and considered it a great advance in humanity's victory over disease, a great advance in world medicine. Of course, James, who successfully promoted the drug, also got a lot of rewards from the company afterwards because he successfully opened up the situation.
In the days that followed, what happened at the hospital was reported by the news media, and immediately attracted the attention of several San Francisco medical institutions. After a series of experiments on the new drug, they were surprised to find that the new drug actually had miraculous effects on many diseases, such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, scarlet fever, pneumonia, otitis media, meningitis and bacteremia, anthrax, tetanus, and even syphilis and gonorrhea. And so in the end, they came to the conclusion that this was an important milestone in human medicine.
So, after the discovery of this miracle drug, San Francisco became a sensation, the United States became a sensation, and the whole world became a sensation.
Hospitals across the United States continued to rush to buy this drug, but at this time they found that the price of sulfonamides, which used to cost only 40 dollars a piece, has now risen to an astonishing 100 dollars, and this is only the government market price, and it has even been speculated to $180 a drug on the black market, and it is often priceless.
Americans were in a hurry, and from this time on, some people began to appear in the streets and alleys of San Francisco, constantly asking for information about Huamei Pharmaceutical Company, and then rushed to their destination. After hysterically dropping orders one by one, they waited directly to pick up the goods outside the production plant of Huasheng Pharmaceutical Company.
At this moment, Jack, the general manager of Huamei, was sitting comfortably in his office smoking a Cuban cigar, and he began to constantly recall his legendary experience during this time. From a small pharmaceutical company that was about to go bankrupt to now become the general manager of a promising pharmaceutical company, the world is really impermanent.
Two months ago, an Oriental first found himself and bought his own drug production company that was on the verge of bankruptcy with a large sum of money. After changing its name to Huamei, he not only hired himself as the general manager of the new pharmaceutical company, but also generously gave himself one percent of the shares. Who can imagine what happened to them now?
Oh, my God! Look, you look at the merchants outside the company who are waiting to pick up the goods, the orders are lined up for two months, but they are still flocking to it. Although this company is not his own now, but what does it matter, he still has one percent of the shares, one percent of the shares, in the previous company may not be nothing, but now, fools know what one percent of the shares represent.
As for the boss, although he is a Qing man from the East, he seems to be a little mysterious, but what does this matter to him. I'm a businessman, well, I'm a successful businessman now, as long as I make money, I don't care if he's mysterious or not.
