Chapter 218: The Birth of Amamsulfonamide
The vigorous elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives have attracted the attention of the whole country. As soon as the legislators got off the train, three or four groups of people immediately surrounded them, inviting them to eat and listen to plays, and some simply sent silver dollars. Most of these councillors are not good birds, and they are all used as signboards in the eight major alleys. Many of the original unknown Hina Ji immediately doubled their worth just because they were taken by a certain councilor. The strongest momentum was undoubtedly Soong Jiaoren's Kuomintang, and the governors of the southern provinces also waved their flags and shouted for him, and the most ruthless was the governor of Hunan, who replaced all the county magistrates who were not members of the Kuomintang overnight, just to ensure that the elected parliamentarians in Hunan were all members of the Kuomintang.
Anhui and Jiangxi provinces are very quiet, and the council bureaus in these two provinces have long been cleaned up by Chai Dongliang. Every time the Council holds a meeting, there will be a reporter from the newspaper to observe, and there will be a camera waiting by the side, and it is very difficult for anyone who wants to have a little fun.
The governors of all provinces across the country were busy with the general election, but Chai Dongliang stayed in the "Anqing Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory" for two days.
Yang Liren, director of the Industrial Bureau, and Wei Ming, chief engineer of the pharmaceutical factory, looked excitedly at a test tube, which contained white powdery crystals.
"This is sulfonamides! The antimicrobial drug I've been dreaming of! Chai Dongliang couldn't wait to hold the test tube in his arms.
Yang Liren said with a smile: "We found the patent owner of 'Bailang Duoxi' in the German patent office, this kind of thing is too expensive as fuel, and it is not sold very well, and it is occasionally used to treat minor diseases such as erysipelas." We offered the guy twenty thousand silver dollars, and he was so happy that he almost fainted. ”
Chai Dongliang nodded with satisfaction: "Well done!" ”
20,000 silver dollars is equivalent to US dollars, which is more than 8,000 dollars, and it is so cheap to buy the patent of sulfonamide with such a small amount of money!
"Thanks to Professor Wei, I lived in the laboratory for more than three months, and I was able to separate the useful and good things in it." Yang Liren exclaimed.
Chai Dongliang looked at Wei Ming's sleep-deprived and extremely haggard face, and said emotionally: "Thank you for your hard work, on behalf of the soldiers of the Jianghuai Army, I thank you for your contributions." ”
Wei Ming said with a smile: "If you can have such a chance in life, even if you die, it's worth it." This vipsulfonamide has a very good effect on many bacterial infections, and it can be regarded as a miracle in the history of medicine. ”
Chai Dong nodded and said: "The future profit of this patent will be 70% for the Military Advisory Office, and 30% for your pharmaceutical factory." ”
Wei Ming hurriedly waved his hand and said, 'How can this be done?' The patent of Bailang Duoxi was bought by the governor, and you also told us that we can isolate the special drug from here, and we have all received salaries, and we must not accept this patent income. Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "This is not for you alone, but for the entire 'Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory', if you shirk it again, be careful that the workers in the factory shoot your black bricks at night." ”
Wei Ming smiled and said no more, Li Dart's eyebrows bloomed with joy on the side, although he still didn't understand what the effect of this new medicine was, but he felt that this thing would definitely make a lot of money. He now thinks that his decision to take the secret recipe to take a stake in the "Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory" is the wisest thing in his life.
In fact, Wei Ming and the others were not the first to isolate aminobenzenesulfonamide, as early as four years ago, someone had already synthesized this compound, but they didn't know what it was used for, and in the end, not only did it not publish it in an authoritative medical journal, but they didn't even apply for a patent, which cheapened Chai Dongliang and Sanyi Pharmaceutical Factory in vain.
Chai Dongliang is very aware of the value of sulfonamides, which have a wide antibacterial spectrum, and have a definite curative effect, stable quality, easy to use, cheap price, and convenient for long-term storage, which is a large class of drugs second only to antibiotics. With so many advantages, sulfonamides were still the most common antibiotic in the fight against bacterial infections until antibiotics became popular.
With sulfonamides, the mortality rate of soldiers will be greatly reduced in the future, in this year, a small wound will die, during the defense of Anqing, many soldiers did not die in battle, but died of bacterial infection. Many of the wounded did not appear to be serious, but eventually lost their lives or had their limbs amputated by doctors and became disabled.
"Dudu, how much does this medicine need to sell?" Wei Ming asked.
Chai Dongliang pondered for a moment and said: "Let's sell a small bottle of two dimes of silver dollars in China, one bottle is enough for ten days' worth of medicine, and if you sell it abroad, it costs a small bottle for one dollar." Such a good medicinal dosage must be extremely extensive, and it must be affordable for the common people, otherwise it is still useless. ”
"Two cents? Isn't it too cheap? Li Darttou interjected.
Chai Dongliang said categorically: "Just sell it for two cents." This medicine is used by almost every household, and it can be said that an average bottle per person per year is not enough! There are 45,000,000 people in China, how much is two cents per person? Ninety million silver dollars! Not to mention foreign countries, I estimate that the ones sold abroad a year are at least tens of millions of dollars, or even more than 100 million! ”
Yang Liren and the others were dumbfounded: "Hundreds of millions of dollars? My goodness, isn't that two or three hundred million silver dollars? That's all catching up with the nation's taxes. ”
The price in China is different from that of foreign countries, and Chai Dongliang is not worried. Through the sales of three-core sockets, Chai Dongliang has established a complete set of agent sales network, through the manufacturer to collect the full amount, and then by the agent to sell at different levels, unified by the head factory rebate, to ensure the regional protection of goods, to avoid the vicious surname competition and fleeing goods.
Chai Dongliang said with a smile: "The invention of aminobenzenesulfonamide is nothing less than a revolution in medicine, many incurable diseases in the past can now be treated, think about it, compared to thousands of lives, what is this money?" However, I estimate that this kind of good life will not last long, and foreigners are not stupid, and it will not be long before they will study the ingredients of this drug, and then they will have to reduce the price. ”
Yang Liren said with a smile: "Even if you can have a good life like this for a year, it is enough, in addition to the profits of pharmaceutical factories and agents, the Military Advisory Office will divide seventy or eighty million silver dollars, and there are too many things that can be done." ”
Chai Dong nodded and said, "Yes, there are many things to do in the future!" ”
Kuang Haishan took the whole of Mongolia, Jebtsundamba was trapped in Guangxian Temple as a puppet, and Gu Mazi also became the governor of Fengtian. The next step is to build industrial bases in Baotou and Fengtiancheng, and in a little more than a year it will be World War I. In another time and space, Russia, which lacked weapons, clothing, and medicine, purchased materials from all over the world in large quantities, and the United States and the United States made a fortune. In this world, Chai Dongliang will never allow it to be repeated, and this war money will inevitably be earned. If it weren't for the goal of monopolizing trade with Russia, Chai Dongliang wouldn't have had to take such a big risk to send troops out of Saibei. Anyway, the Russians purchased arms and other supplies, and the two rich men, Britain and France, paid for it. What the British and French forces snatched from China back then, Lao Tzu wants them to vomit out double!
"Professor Wei, can the output keep up?" Chai Dongliang asked.
Wei Ming said with a smile: "The synthesis of this thing is very simple, as long as the equipment keeps up, there is no problem with the output, we can produce as much as we want." ”
Chai Dongliang is very satisfied with this answer, sulfonamides, machine kiln cement equipment, special alloys, these three fist products, should have no problem earning hundreds of millions of silver dollars for himself every year. Especially sulfonamides, a long-acting antibacterial drug, which is almost a must-have for everyone, Chai Dongliang can imagine how much shock it will set off in the global medical community when it is made public!
Wei Ming, the Nobel Prize in Medicine is waiting for you!
Fang Qingyu walked over from outside with excitement on his face, and whispered in Chai Dongliang's ear: "Governor, Director Feng Ru of the Aircraft R&D Center called, saying that the trial production of that kind of Eagle engine has been successful!" ”
Chai Dongliang was overjoyed: "When I went out today, I heard the magpie calling, and good things came one after another!" ”
With the V-12-cylinder Eagle engine, large seaplanes are no longer a fantasy!
"Inform Director Feng Ru that this kind of engine is top secret and must not be leaked out." Chai Dongliang admonished.
Fang Qingyu nodded: "I have already told him, the secrecy of the aircraft research and development center has been upgraded, and more people will be sent to guard it." ’
Chai Dongliang patted him on the shoulder: "Well done." Then he said to Wei Ming: "The technology of amimene sulfonamide is also top secret, and the foreign devils figure it out by themselves, so we have nothing to say, but if it leaks out, don't blame me for being unkind." ”
Wei Ming and Li Darttou nodded their heads frequently.
"Mu Chen, you go and arrange a ceremony, I will personally award the honors to Professor Wei and Director Feng! You have made tremendous contributions to the Jianghuai Army and the people of the whole country, and I thank you! Chai Dongliang stood up with his feet snapped and gave a military salute to Wei Ming.
Wei Ming hurriedly bowed and returned the salute: "Don't dare to be, if it weren't for the support of the governor, how could I have today's small achievements?" It's supposed to be me, Xie Dudu! ”
Chai Dongliang smiled again and said, "Li Darttou, after your secret recipe has been improved, what is the effect?" ”
Li Dart blushed and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not worse than the original one at all!" If it weren't for the governor's reminder, I would have almost ruined the national treasure! ”
Although Li Dart's red wound medicine is miraculous, there are also many absurdities in it, especially the use of the "dragon bone" with the word as the main medicinal material, which makes Chai Dongliang extremely sad. After experimentation, the pharmaceutical factory decided that the use of ordinary tortoise shells would have the same medicinal effect, and the batch of "dragon bones" that had been purchased was sent to Anqing Public School, where the old scholars were invited to study the oracle bone inscription and the history of Chinese writing.
The priceless treasure has finally appeared where it should have appeared, becoming a bright pearl in the crown of Chinese civilization!
"You guys are busy, I will arrange an award ceremony in the next few days, as well as a cocktail party and a ball, Professor Wei, Li Darttou, you are the protagonists!"
Wei Ming and Li Dart's smiling eyes were invisible, they felt a glory that they had never had in their lives, and the feeling of being respected was so wonderful!
