Since the changes in the situation within China and in the struggle between the great powers in China since the Xinhai Revolution made it impossible to issue the currency-based industrial loans originally scheduled for the spring of 1912, the banking syndicates of the four countries were more eager to undertake new loans to China.

Therefore, HSBC, Citigroup, Deutsche Hua and Amundi are all negotiating commercial loans with the East China Group, and in the eyes of these banks, the strength of the East China Autonomous Axe is the strongest in China, and it is also a very honest force.

The agent who ruled China was still Yuan Shikai, but it was an indisputable fact that the three provinces of East China Autonomous Province were entrenched in the three provinces of East China.

Therefore, they can accept a loan to the East China Group, and HSBC has some concerns in this regard, because the current British goods are in the Chinese market, but the products produced by the factories of the East China Autonomous Government are currently competing fiercely with the British goods in the market.

The goods monopolized by the British are mainly textiles, steel, and coal, coupled with huge overseas assets and the world's largest transportation volume, making Britain firmly occupy the throne of the world.

In terms of the textile and steel markets, the British market in China has been violently impacted, and the East China Autonomous Government is the only one that is still buying coal.

In terms of alkali production, the company has been completely unable to parry, not only in China, but also in Yuben, Southeast Asia and other places, and the situation is further out of control.

At this time, will the loan to the East China Autonomous Political Axe cause the British goods, which are in the midst of a fierce struggle, to fail? After all, Chinese companies can support themselves for a longer time if they get loans.

From HSBC's point of view, their task is simply to maximize profits for shareholders, and the market is not in their minds.

But in Asia, banking and politics are closely linked, and the British ambassador to China, Juordian, had just spent an afternoon talking with HSBC's managing director for Asia.

Zhu Erdian did not want HSBC to lend to the East China Group, as well as Zhongsheng and Huasheng Group, as well as other enterprises in the territory of the East China Autonomous Government.

But then, HSBC couldn't sit still, because it was only a commercial loan, and the other three banks did not negotiate with them jointly with the East China Group.

Even if HSBC does not lend to Huadong Group, then the other three banks will also lend to Huadong Group, so HSBC has also started negotiations with Huadong Group.

In addition, at this time, although the national commodities of the three provinces of East China Autonomous Province were fiercely competing with the commodities of Britain, the United States, and other countries, the British did not understand the advantages of the national capital of the three provinces of East China, and still thought that they might use backward equipment.

They believed that the company was not sufficient to represent all fields, and that the merchants of the British Empire would inevitably crush the capital of the three autonomous provinces of East China with superior capital.

Although countries have gradually lost their positions from the three autonomous provinces in East China, they believe that it is the nationalism of the Chinese, believing that the Chinese will not hold out for too long in the face of bargains, and that after a long time, the Chinese will buy cheaper goods from other countries.

Since the goods of various countries cannot be sold in the three autonomous provinces of East China, but because they are not sold, they are just squeezed, and there are no big losses, and their capital can be completely supported for a long time, until the Chinese can not resist the temptation of cheap goods!

At the time when the banks of the four countries were negotiating loans with the East China Group, Daosheng Bank united some international capitals that had nothing to do with the banks of the four countries, such as Britain, France, and Belgium, to form an international consortium, and also participated in the loan negotiations with the East China Group.

Now things are complicated, and East China Group is at odds with many banks, and negotiations are going on every day.

In order to borrow more money, Xia Jun once again chose to invest in pharmaceuticals, and exchanged the manufacturing methods of penicillin and enzyme chain from the exchange platform.

On April 8, the East China Pharmaceutical Company held a press conference in Hangzhou, and the Chinese and foreign media who rushed to hear the news crowded in front of the newly repaired group building of the East China Group.

The six-storey building is designed in a way that combines the towers with a strong Chinese style and the ordinary buildings of later generations, and there is no European architectural style in the whole building.

In the building, Huadong Pharmaceutical Company published clinical reports on penicillin and enzyme chain indices.

Penicillin has a highly effective antibacterial effect and is effective for many disease problems, while enzyme chain has a miraculous effect on tuberculosis and is the nemesis of tuberculosis.

"These are two major breakthroughs for our East China Pharmaceutical Company after sulfonamides, and at the same time, our East China Pharmaceutical Company has conducted thousands of clinical trials on these two drugs, and the trial results are good."

The reporters present were a little incredulous, but with the previous example of sulfonamides, although they felt incredible, they did not doubt their real surnames.

"Excuse me, when will these two drugs be on sale?" A reporter asked.

"At the moment we are not producing very much, and there is only a small amount of market supply in the near future. If you want to supply it in large quantities, you will have to wait until after autumn. A spokesman for Huadong Pharmaceutical replied.

Penicillin can be produced in large quantities with melons, and Xia Jun previously exchanged for the cultivation base of high-yield melons in preparation for the production of penicillin.

In this era, there was no resistance to the disease, and the effect of penicillin was very good. Xia Jun had exchanged a large amount of penicillin for medical treatment in the territory before.

However, Xia Jun has strict regulations on the use of penicillin, so there is no abuse of antibiotics in the three provinces of East China.

It was precisely because of the abuse of penicillin in China in later generations that a generation was ruined, and Xia Jun, who came through the time, was naturally able to be 'far-sighted'.

As for how to use penicillin for gringos, it is not Xia Jun's place to take care of it for the time being.

Anyway, penicillin is produced, just wait to count the money, penicillin in this era is very good, and the price can even be speculated to the same price as gold.

After the press conference, various newspapers reported on it.

This news quickly caused a sensation in the medical community, and Xia Jun also released the first batch of penicillin at this time, which was directly sold at the price equivalent to gold, and the price of enzyme chain was cheaper.

In this era, although there are some drugs that can treat tuberculosis, the treatment effect is not guaranteed, and many people still die of tuberculosis.

Now the governor of Yunnan, Cai Yi, died of throat disease caused by tuberculosis.

Of course, there are some people who have cured tuberculosis by practicing qigong, of course, there is no such name as qigong in this era, and qigong has appeared in later generations for a very short time, only more than 20 years, which is adapted from the ancient internal strength and the method of absorbing various terms.

Those who can adapt qigong must be proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, according to the different physique and condition of each person to arrange different qigong, but also because the qigong change surname is too big, in the later generations of the popular for more than 20 years there are few people to practice, many people practice for decades and do not see the disease, some people practice neurotic, some people because of the qi in the body rush but think that their skills are profound, and the result is a violent death.

Practicing qigong to cure tuberculosis is only an isolated case, and in this era of tuberculosis epidemic, a large number of people die of tuberculosis every year.

As soon as these two drugs were put on the market, they were immediately sold out. These drugs have been bought by other countries for clinical research, and naturally they are not spared a lot of money to buy them.

As a result, clinical trials have proved that these two drugs are indeed consistent with the clinical trial report published by Huadong Pharmaceutical Company, and the price of penicillin and enzyme chain has been further increased.

The penicillin production of the East China Pharmaceutical Company soon began, and according to the technology provided by the chairman, penicillin was cultivated with bagasse and other raw materials, and the yield was naturally not as high as that of melons.

Because the production is not much, the East China Pharmaceutical Company raised the price again, and after proving that the two drugs have a miraculous effect, the sales price of penicillin exceeds the same weight of gold and some people still rush to buy it.

This is the profiteering pharmaceutical industry!

As a result, the value of Huadong Pharmaceutical Company skyrocketed, and HSBC immediately decided to lend Huadong Pharmaceutical Company 15 million pounds with an interest of 4%, and all the money was received within five months, and HSBC took a 1% rebate. The consideration is to use the shares of Huadong Pharmaceutical Company plus penicillin and enzyme chain protein as collateral.

Li Shengguo readily agreed to HSBC's conditions, and when signing the loan agreement, Li Shengguo had to add a clause that if the funds could not arrive on time, the East China Group would not repay the interest, and if the payer broke the contract, then the funds that had arrived would not be returned.

In HSBC's view, there was nothing wrong with these conditions, so they signed it.

However, an unexpected accident was about to happen to HSBC, and at this time Yuan Shikai had already begun to take out loans from the banks of the four countries.

Yuan Shikai had a great appetite, and the two million yuan loaned to him by the Bank of East China was just a test of Yuan Shikai's attitude towards the autonomous political axe of East China.

Yuan Shikai's loan to the Four Nations Bank was as high as 2 million pounds, which was 22 times the amount he borrowed from the East China Autonomous Government, or about 22 million silver dollars.

Because the banks of the four countries were eager to solicit loans in China, and Yuan Shikai was the current recognized leader and the power of their state, the two million pounds were advanced to Yuan Shikai, and the loan priority of 50 million pounds was obtained.

However, then, Yuan Shikai secretly borrowed another million pounds from a consortium formed by Daosheng Bank (with the Bank of Belgium as the main force).

The loan was a success, the Belgian bank did not put forward any harsh conditions, nor did it raise any questions about the use of the loan supervision, and the interest rate was 4.5%, which was also considered an acceptable range, and the two sides quickly signed an agreement.

Yuan's move is supposed to be just to diversify the loans, or he is not aware of the priority proposed by the banks of the four countries, and his intention is not to put pressure on the banks of the four countries.

However, as soon as the news came out, the attitude of the Four Nations Bank changed greatly, and immediately accused Yuan Shikai of not keeping his promises, and stopped the advance of funds, which put Yuan Shikai in an embarrassing situation for a while.

Xia Jun learned the news in Hangzhou, and as a bystander to this incident, he couldn't help but be secretly happy, and then it was time for him to appear and stir up the situation.

Of course, there is no need to be in such a hurry to play, Yuan Shikai should still be able to cope for a while.

Xia Jun's insidious behavior that is about to make the Bank of the Four Nations feel like eating stool.
