Gao Hongsheng's plan to lure Germany to send troops to the Philippines and lead the troubles to the east can be said to have basically failed, but he has also gained a lot of benefits through a large number of rubber industry technology, and he can obtain a large amount of cash flow by just the diffusion of a large number of rubber industry patent licensing production technology, so that he no longer has to worry about the lack of money.

Gao Hongsheng, who was defeated by the stubborn William, smiled helplessly and said to the curious Bo Caiyun: "There's no way, this damn Emperor William is determined to occupy a place in China, and we don't have the strength to confront him, if you want the 20,000 marks, I'll give you the technology, and you go to the queen to ask for a red envelope for the New Year." ”

What Gao Hongsheng wants to provide to Germany is the earliest synthetic synthetic rubber, that is, the kind of methyl rubber produced in Germany during World War I, but that thing is a tragedy in terms of cost and durability, that is, during the war, Germany had no natural rubber source and had to use substitutes, and production was stopped after the war.

"Phew! I don't want it! If you don't make it, you can't do it. Everyone won't blame you, the French have run to Canton Bay again, do we still have to go to war with the French? Forget it, the domestic affairs are like that, everyone has seen it, but the shopkeeper, the Spring Festival is coming, are you sending red envelopes to everyone in advance! ”

Bo Caiyun also saw that Gao Hongsheng was busy day and day during this time, and saw that Gao Hongsheng's plan was bankrupt, so he had to comfort and change the topic.

"Okay! But how much money do we have now? Do you know? Gao Hongsheng pushed everything out, and the result was that he didn't know how rich he was in this world.

Lin Daiyu is responsible for the sales of medicines and stockings, Durex and other products in the port of Alèfer in France, Jin Xiaobao is responsible for the sales of the whole of France in Paris, and Bo Caiyun is not only responsible for the sales of Germany and neighboring countries, but also busy with the licensing of a patent company, and is also the general person in charge of the entire overseas.

Gao Hongsheng is a hands-off shopkeeper, and it can't be said that he doesn't care about anything, he has to be responsible for the entire public opinion propaganda, and at the same time, he has to get enough products for Bo Caiyun and them to sell, and he has to be busy with the procurement of weapons and patent applications, which can also be said to be as busy as a dog.

But when it comes to the specific cash flow he has now, he doesn't know, and he really asks Bo Caiyun, the big housekeeper in Europe.

Bo Caiyun smiled bitterly, she is really grateful for Gao Hongsheng's trust and letting go, at present she has a better status than the original wife of the minister of the four countries, a drug queen, a stockings queen, if it weren't for that Durex is too bad, she is still a condom queen, countless banquets and private invitations are waiting for her to participate, using Gao Hongsheng's modern product sales rights She has compiled a huge network of relationships, it turns out that those dignitaries who disdain to communicate with her, Now they are like a swarm of flies around her, and they can't get rid of her.

After thinking for a while, Bo Caiyun smiled: "Shopkeeper, we probably have nearly seven hundred pounds in cash, but after removing the part that is about to be paid, we can probably use about four hundred pounds." ”

"So much." Gao Hongsheng asked in some surprise.

"Yes, after Christmas, the sales of drugs ushered in an explosive period, more and more people have learned about the efficacy of our drugs, so that our drug sales have increased significantly, and the sales of stockings and condoms are still in a state of small batch sales, but it is estimated that as people realize that sales will gradually expand, by then we will have more cash." Bo Caiyun explained her work in very modern language, mainly in the books he provided her, and it also became a way for them to communicate with each other.

"It's almost over, the publicity work of the drug has been going on for more than three months, and it seems that the effect is not bad, right, the stock of drugs is enough."

"Enough, not just enough, but too much, it is estimated that according to the current sales volume, it should be able to be sold for three years, but the drug has an expiration date, and I am worried that it will not be sold within the validity period." Bo Caiyun was really a little worried when he saw the drug inventory documents in the port of Alefel, it was really a lot of drugs that Gao Hongsheng brought over, but Gao Hongsheng didn't care at all, mainly because the cost was too low and the profit was too high, even if it was a little waste, it didn't matter.

"It doesn't matter, the supply of medicines must be guaranteed, the strategy of starvation sales cannot be adopted, that thing is life-saving, and the supply must be guaranteed. Otherwise, we can't afford the anger of those angry patients, and other products can be sold in a starvation way. ”

"However, with the sales of drugs gradually being used on a large scale in hospitals and pharmacies, they have also raised the question of whether the price of our drugs is too high, and many people have come to protest that the prices of our drugs are too high, and some doctors have sent us letters of protest more than once, protesting that we have set the price of drugs so high, so that they have watched some dying poor patients die because they cannot afford to pay the high cost of medicine."

"Really? What a nuisance. Gao Hongsheng complained, but also had to face the problem.

Bo Caiyun also smiled bitterly, at present, the headquarters in Paris and Berlin have been surrounded by patients who cannot afford to pay for medicines more than once, and on several occasions those foreigners directly put patients at the gate of the company and waited for them to help, and even once directly carried the deceased to the gate of their company and stopped there to protest.

"Hey! In this way, according to those hospitals and pharmacies to buy free of charge at a rate of 5 percent, these gifts must be used to treat those who can not afford the cost of drugs, and at the same time take out 5 percent of the proportion for installment credit purchase, patients can choose the time to return the cost of drugs according to their own situation, it can be two years, five years, or ten years, this can be cooperated with the bank, there must be a procedure for free use of drugs, you can do this. ”

Gao Hongsheng had no choice but to use this method that was not a way to deal with it, and an additional 10% of the proportion was given away, which is estimated to be able to block the mouths of those people, and at the same time, it can also be used to improve the company's image.

But it is impossible to make Gao Hong raise and lower the price, those Western pharmaceutical companies in later generations have lowered the price of China, and it would be good not to raise the price for China, if it were not for the fact that the Qing Dynasty has no social status at all, his strength is too small, otherwise don't even think about giving it away.

"Okay, but what if those foreigners are still making trouble?" This method is likely to spur the foreigners to make further demands, and Bo Caiyun has to think about what to do if they continue to make trouble.

"Trouble, make a fart, they dare to make trouble, don't you dare to close the door? As long as they dare to make trouble, you don't have to be afraid, just publish a statement in the newspaper, saying that because they are making trouble, you will close the door and stop supplying, until they bow their heads and ask you to go back, you are going back. Our medicine is life-saving, either we will be slaughtered honestly, or we will wait for death. Caiyun, we are not good people, we have to be cruel to foreigners, if you are afraid of them, they will kick their noses in the face, and if they don't beat them hard, they don't understand that we are not easy to mess with. Gao Hongsheng said fiercely.

Now there are basically no big projects that cost money, more than half of the more than six million pounds in the Mauser Arsenal have been paid to them, the supply of medicines has stopped but there are stockings and condoms on top, and at the same time, there is a steady stream of patent licensing fees in the account, Gao Hongsheng is really not worried about their cash flow, the sky is just a little nervous, and Gao Hongsheng is not afraid of lack of money at all, there are many good things in the future generations, and you can plug the hole with whatever you want.

"Okay, just do what the shopkeeper says, if these foreigners don't know each other, the little girl will also be powerful." Bo Caiyun also gritted his teeth viciously and said, mainly because during this time, some foreigners looked at them with a lot of money, and they wanted to bite a bite, otherwise those poor people would dare to block the door of their company.

"In this way, 1.2 million pounds are proposed, one million is divided into one point for everyone, and the other 200,000 is given to everyone as a red envelope, by the way, where is the queen of Austria! I want to see her! Gao Hongsheng thought of the unobtrusive Her Royal Highness again, his curiosity about Princess Sissi had not diminished at all, and at the same time, the gift he had given her in the port of Alefel had not yet been given, and he wanted to give it to her with his own hands.

"You've been contacted, when would you like to meet her?" Bo Caiyun had already made contact with Princess Sissi, and she was also very curious about the visitors from afar, and had agreed to meet them.

"Schönbrunn Palace, Spring Festival. What do you think? Gao Hongsheng said.

"Okay, I'll contact her in a moment to see if I can receive us at Schönbrunn Palace, by the way, what kind of gift did you give her?" She asked curiously, because the gift Gao Hongsheng brought to Her Royal Highness the Empress was too big, a forty-foot container with two containers, and it had been closed for anyone to see.

But before Gao Hongsheng could answer Bo Caiyun's question, one of his subordinates pushed the door in and handed him a telegram, which was sent by Albert, and there was good news on it, the emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was interested in the Philippines and wanted him to talk.
