[175] Penicillin

Xiao Qiang left after lunch at the Kyoto Equestrian Club, he politely declined the invitation to soak in the hot springs in the afternoon arranged by Bai Bing and others, and Murong Ruolan also left with Xiao Qiang.

On the return car, Murong Ruolan pouted and said, "Xiaoqiang, don't you go to the hot springs with everyone?" ”

Xiaoqiang prevaricated on the grounds that there was still something to be done in the company.

In fact, he was afraid to face Li Muyun.

He didn't know that Weishenme would be scared, but he felt that he was really a little weak-hearted, as if he had done something bad, and he didn't dare to look at Li Muyun directly.

Now he just wanted to hurry back to the company, get into the familiar work, and forget all the confusion and mania of the morning.

"You're not going to stay and go to the hot springs with them?" Xiaoqiang asked Murong Ruolan rhetorically.

"If you don't go, I won't go." Murong Ruolan said with a smile.

Xiao Qiang smiled back and said no more.

Along the way, the two chatted and gossiped, and after Xiaoqiang sent Murong Ruolan home, he went back to the company directly.

After checking the company's latest warehousing schedule, Xiaoqiang understood that it was time to go back to 1950 tonight.

Zhao Dayou has been in a bad mood lately, and once again let Xiaoqiang slip away from under his nose with a magic spell, making him, an atheist, almost wonder if there is really magic on Shijie.

When the scouts sneaked into the warehouse again, they found that the place had been emptied, and even their surveillance equipment was gone, which made Zhao Dayou puzzled, and he really didn't know what magic tricks could be played on Shijie.

Zhao Dayou made a report, truthfully reflecting the progress of his work, and the attitude above remained unchanged, asking him to continue to monitor and not alarm Cao Xiaoqiang.

Zhao Dayou had no choice but to accept this fact calmly. That is, he couldn't find out Xiaoqiang's problem, and he couldn't take any further action, so he had to become Xiaoqiang's nanny, staring after him all day long.

This half-dead state made Zhao Dayou very depressed, and for this reason, he had been drinking a lot of alcohol recently and often fell asleep in the surveillance car. The other investigators were also unable to raise their motivation, and they were just monks for a day and hit the clock for a day.

That night, after Xiao Qiang checked the goods in the warehouse, he cut his fingers and passed through the blood sacrifice array.

Back in the 1950s, Xiaoqiang looked at the warehouse full of materials immersed in darkness, lit a cigarette, turned on the headlights and drove towards the familiar door. After greeting Wei Guo, Xiaoqiang didn't get out of the car, and the two went straight to the hospital. After the blood transfusion, Xiaoqiang went back to the courtyard to sleep and didn't say anything all night.

In 1950, Hong Kong was just a small fishing village, and the prosperous area in the center of the island city was basically occupied by the British, and those wealthy Chinese who fled from the mainland did everything possible to buy houses in the British residential areas, just to have a good environment and good security. Because of the war, the number of residents in the small Hong Kong has increased dramatically, and prices have skyrocketed.

Huo Yingdong was very puzzled recently, and his connector told him not to smuggle black iron sheets, gauze, Western medicine, rubber, small hardware and other materials in the future. After receiving the news, he guessed that the mainland estimated that there was already a stable land transportation from the Soviet Union, although he did not know how the materials were transported in the vast Siberian wasteland and how expensive it should be, after all, that was not his concern.

What really regrets him is that this huge monthly income has been cut off since then, and he is afraid that he will have to look for other business opportunities in the future. Although there is a little bit of patriotism in his smuggling plot, what fascinates him the most is the stable profits and exclusive channels.

Hong Kong is a free port, and it is not easy to enter any industry. Taking people's wealth is like killing people's lives, and if you rush into grabbing jobs, others will definitely not rest with you. In Hong Kong, a colony with blurred black and white lines, there are all kinds of murders and violent crimes every day, a large part of which is for the distribution of profits within various industries.

Huo Yingdong was able to quickly gather so much wealth in his hands because he had his own unique way to make money. But only this exclusive method of making money for smuggling to the mainland has been cut off all of a sudden, which makes him where to find such a good deal in the future.

However, he was not depressed for long, and his connector came to him again, telling him that he would continue to smuggle in the future, and promising him more money than before.

When asked, he learned that the mainland was going to let him monopolize the smuggling of Western medicines, not to the mainland, but to transport penicillin produced in the mainland to Hong Kong, to occupy the entire anti-inflammatory drug market in Hong Kong, and also to sell them to Western countries.

When Huo Yingdong heard this, he felt that this matter was a bit unreliable. A few months ago, the mainland was still yelling at him to transport more penicillin, why did he start to export this thing after a while?

Listening to his connector, penicillin production line has now been built in China, and Jishu is the first in Shijie, with a large production volume and the first quality of Shijie.

Huo Yingdong was suspicious of a box of samples given to him by the connector, but he was surprised by the profit that the other party told him.

In these years, the price of penicillin, that is, penicillin, is the same weight as gold, a box of six vials of 50,000 units of penicillin per bottle can only be bought with a small yellow croaker, which is converted into US dollars is 35 US dollars, and it is even more expensive to smuggle to the mainland, the price has doubled, and three bottles will cost a small yellow croaker! However, there is no drug resistance in these years, and penicillin is very effective, and a dose of penicillin per week, injected for three consecutive weeks, can treat patients with gonorrhea in the first and second stages. Many of the penicillin smuggled in the mainland was used to treat the prostitutes of Congliang's Qinglou. This is also the five-body throw that Huo Yingdong admires, and it is not simple to call the supply party.

And his connector told him that there were a total of 12 boxes of penicillin in this wooden box, and each box was also six vials, but each bottle was 100,000 units! The price offered to Fok Yingdong was three boxes of a small yellow croaker, no US dollars, only gold bars and silver.

Huo Yingdong was stunned by this profit all of a sudden. Penicillin is no more than cotton yarn, black iron, rubber, etc., there is no need to use a large ship to transport, a small boat can be loaded with some boxes, if this business can be successful, wouldn't it be a fortune?

With such a low price, Huo Yingdong can't help but be unimpressed. The connector told him that this was also a contribution to the country, and that the country needed gold and silver as a reserve for issuing currency, and the more the better.

With huge profits and the support of national righteousness, Fok Yingdong hurriedly took action, and only after inquiring did he know that the wholesale price of Pfizer's penicillin pharmaceutical factory in the United States on the Hong Kong market is eighty percent of the retail price, that is, 28 US dollars for a box, and there is still no market for it.

Fok Ying-tung understood that if the penicillin business could be successful, he would be able to ship a large number of penicillin products at a price lower than the wholesale price of the pharmaceutical factory, and he would definitely be able to monopolize the penicillin market in Hong Kong. Thinking of the huge profits in this, he couldn't bear it anymore, even if he wanted to go against the foreign bank.

After making up his mind, Huo Yingdong decided to give up this time and provide these samples to the clinic to try first, but he was stunned by the results......

Fok Yingdong found his family doctor, the Englishman Edward, who opened a small hospital called Jose Clinic, which was not large, with seven or eight beds in it.

Huo Yingdong braved the rain and drove excitedly to Jose's clinic. As soon as he arrived at the clinic, he rushed into Edward's office.

He told Edward that he had a batch of state-of-the-art penicillin, 100,000 units per bottle, and that there were five boxes of samples that he could try, and that one box cost only $20, which was $15 cheaper than the $35 price on the market, and even $6 cheaper than the wholesale price of $26 for pharmaceutical companies.

For Fok Yingdong, the price of $20 a box is a net profit of more than $8 per box for him, which is nearly doubled. If this can be done, it will be much better than smuggling anything, you must know that the profit from the smuggled materials that the mainland used to give him was only 30 percent, and that would already be a very huge profit.

But Dr. Edward didn't believe in such a good thing. He took a closer look at the little bit of powder in the bottle.

"My dear Huo, there is no such thing as a bottle of penicillin shijie with 100,000 units of powder, at least I haven't seen it, such a low price is even more impossible, you must have been deceived."

Huo Yingdong was anxious, this was a matter related to his good money, he grabbed Edward's hand and said earnestly: "Edward, do me this favor, you try it first, if the effect is not good, I don't charge money, just give it to you." ”

Edward took the package given to him by Huo Yingdong with difficulty, thinking about the clinic where the Huo family has always taken good care of him, both black and white have helped him, and he has also introduced many customers and company employees from the business world, he really doesn't want to offend such a character.

Edward copied the stiff Chinese and said, "Okay, Mr. Huo, I'll help you with this favor, but the medicine was given to me by you, and you are responsible for what happens." ”

Huo Yingdong saw that it was done, and agreed to come down.

Edward opened the package and sighed when he saw that nothing was written on the box and nothing was posted on the vial. He didn't dare to use these three no-nothing products on the British, but since he promised Huo Yingdong, it was still necessary to be trustworthy, and he decided to find a Chinese to try the medicine.

Fok Yingdong was not at ease, afraid that Edward would play him, and he would not leave Edward's clinic, and he wanted to see Edward inject this medicine into the patient's body. He was also very curious about whether this medicine was as miraculous as the comrade who connected it said, what 100,000 units per bottle. Edward said that the largest on the market was only 50,000 units.

Edward's clinic has a good reputation in the neighborhood, and there was a ready-made example that afternoon.

That afternoon, a Chinese boy with scarlet fever came to the clinic, and his mother hugged him and wept so much that he almost knelt down for Dr. Edward. After Edward's diagnosis, he hesitated for a moment and said, "This child needs penicillin injections, two a day, for a week. ”

The Chinese woman, dressed in a washed white cheongsam with a cotton cloth and a look of poor family, pleaded: "Doctor, please save my child, I will pay." ”

Edward had seen a lot of such poor people, and the woman in front of him must not be able to come up with so much money for a while. He thought about it, sighed secretly, quietly opened the drawer, took out the kind of penicillin that Huo Yingdong gave him, and did not ask the nurse to help inject it, he personally opened the bottle and poured distilled water, and after shaking it lightly, the powder in the bottle was all dissolved!

When Edward saw such a potion, he felt a chill in his heart. It turned out that penicillin powder in this year did not dissolve as quickly as the 2011 product, and the dissolution was completely incomplete, and in general, there must be starch residues. Where had Edward ever seen penicillin like this, but it was full of powder made of salt grains, and his heart was bitter for a while.

But with Huo Yingdong standing next to him, Edward couldn't regret it, so he had to do a skin test on the child and inject all of them.

Edwards said that this injection should be regarded as a face for Huo Yingdong, and the second injection I will inject this child with real penicillin anyway, scarlet fever is an acute disease, and it may die if it is delayed for a day, and I can't smash the brand of my clinic myself.
