Chapter 903: Transforming the Yellow River

In just 15 days, Northwest has sold 25,000 sets of penicillin around the world, which together is $1.25 billion. People who take money to buy penicillin have no bargaining, or price reductions and discounts, they are afraid that their money will not be able to buy medicines, most of them are syphilis infections, facing a drug that can treat terminal diseases, what money is not money, they don't have to care at all, what should be done now is to buy drugs, let the medicine treat the body's diseases.

There are a small number of buyers, are some people who do not get sick, but want to prevent people, for these people, the northwest is to try to persuade, but the effect is not good, a situation in a certain situation, may save the life of the drug, who is willing to put around, although the northwest also made it clear that the validity period of penicillin is only three years, after three years, there will be adverse reactions and even toxicity, but the rich and willful people, or willing to buy a large number of people, can be guaranteed for three years, big deal after 3 years, and then buy it.

It was a contradiction, and the supervisor in charge of penicillin sales, after learning about the situation, made a decisive decision to sell to them. In order to ensure safety, these buyers will strictly make a skin test, and only those who pass the skin test can use this drug, otherwise, any problems that arise have nothing to do with the Northwest.

This requirement is relatively harsh, but in order to obtain life-saving medicinal materials, these people still agreed, after the notarial deed and letter of intent were signed, this group of rich people also successfully purchased drugs, and the purchasing power of the rich people is always amazing, among the 25,000 groups of drugs. More than 60% of them were bought by these wealthy people who were not sick. Only 4 percent, that is, about 10,000 copies. It's really practical, but these are no problem at all, and he directly pushed up the sales figures of penicillin.

Such sales data not only stunned the salespeople, but also alarmed Yang Yuanzhao, who promoted the development of penicillin, and his original purpose was to use this thing to make a lot of money in the world. But this amount is so large that it reaches one-third of the sales of sulfonamides, which is more or less shocking, you know, the price of sulfonamides is not very low, the price of 5 US dollars per tablet is enough to earn huge profits for the Northwest, and the annual sales are hundreds of millions of copies, which is almost 4 billion US dollars in sales, but penicillin is only 25,000 groups. The benefits are staggering.

People don't kill for themselves, and it's a bastard if they don't make money, Yang Yuanzhao quickly changed his propaganda policy after hesitating. Penicillin is advertised as a specific drug for syphilis, tuberculosis, and some conditions for which sulfonamides have unknown or poor effects, or as a life-saving drug. It's just in a small area, gradually circling money. However, the idea of large-scale production or large-scale promotion was dispelled. Strive to use this to build the drugs in the northwest into a high-end, expensive life-saving drug, rather than a cheap ordinary drug.

Of course, this is only for foreign countries, in the country, the area under the absolute control of the northwest, this medicinal material will be popularized, of course, a name will be changed, and the control of him will be more strict, and it will not enter the pharmacy for sale, but will only be sold as a prescription drug in the central hospital of the absolute control of the northwest, and the name is also used in the name of the later generation antibiotics, so far, penicillin is divided into two names, one is the excellent drug for welfare in the northwest, and the other is high-priced foreign soft gold, which has been for 10 years. Not many people realize that the anti-plum medicine 998 is the same medicinal material as antibiotics, and the reason is very simple. Penicillin produced in the Northwest is not the original strain, it is after human pathology, after reacting with the human body, there is an effective thing, this part, for the world where materials and biology have not progressed to a certain extent, to interpret what penicillin is, this is a very, very difficult thing, and therefore to ensure the interests of the Northwest, since 1914, the Northwest will sell about 40,000 copies of penicillin every year, earning about 1.9 billion funds.

However, the high price is destined to not be maintained forever, it is 10 years later, when it reaches its peak, it is only about 80,000 copies, and it is surprising that the sales volume has not doubled, but only a little more than 2.7 billion, Kankan has caught up with two-thirds of sulfonamides.

This matter, declassified after 50 years, is regarded as a classic, is called a magical case of profit maximization, and at this time, 10 years have passed, penicillin has long been from the early products, through more than 10 generations, the final output has increased greatly, the production cost has also been reduced to an insignificant extent, penicillin units, has also crossed 10,000, progressed to the extent of 500,000, all kinds of deepening research is almost in full bloom, and even because of the promotion of penicillin and sulfonamide, the northwest in the field of biopharmaceuticalsIt has always occupied a leading position in the world, and when countries around the world have just figured out a little bit and entered the field of sulfonamides, the Northwest has begun to develop the mechanism of sulfonamides and penicillin, and they have been developed more deeply, and for different diseases alone, and even into different fields of antibiotics, it is also a variety of appearances.

The great achievements in the field of medicine have attracted the attention of the whole world, and the vast majority of workers in the world have overcome a world-class problem, and almost all the people in the world who have the ability to go to the United States are concentrating on the United States, and the other side of the earth has also started a huge project that makes people's blood boil.

The Northwest uses prisoners of war to govern the desert, which is a reasonable use of prisoners of war labor, but Germany sent most of the people in the occupied areas to the Northwest in a package, the number is very huge, calculated, almost more than 10 million, if you add family members, it will even exceed 15 million, such a huge manpower, except for a part of the professionals, will be recruited by the factory, into the factory, consolidate the foundation of the Northwest, increase the number of workers and other special laborers, but a larger number of personnel, There is no one skill.

In this era, the European countries have become enlightened because of the power of science, but the degree of urbanization is still not high, Britain, France and Germany are relatively high, but not more than 5 percent, Belgium is just a second-rate country, his urbanization level is not even more than one and a half, in this case, what did the northwest get them to do, is it still farming, not to mention, in the planting level, China was above the European countries before, thousands of years of farming tradition, so that China's planting industry is more developed, If it weren't for the perverse actions of the Qing Dynasty, it would have been possible to go further.

After the emergence of Yang Yuanzhao, with the help of Yang Yue, the scientific planting method was popularized in the northwest, with the help of various favorable conditions, the planting industry in the northwest has been out of the category of this era, some of the later generations of scientific agriculture category, seeds, fertilizers, advanced agricultural machinery, these things, improved the environment in the west, but also liberated a large number of rural labor, the industry in the northwest is precisely because of this and take off, in the later generations of soothing and high wages under the attraction, out of the land farmers began to enter the city, After the initial training, into the factory, it is this manpower that has transformed the entire Northwest from an agricultural to an industrial power, so the impact is extremely far-reaching. Now the entire Northwest, and even China, the vast majority of the land is under the control of the Northwest, and the production corps with a total number of more than 10 million people is cultivating on the land of China.

Although there is a tradition of training workers in the northwest, it is for Chinese workers, Belgians, French, British and Russians, and it is very difficult to train these peasants who do not have many skills and do not understand other peasants in their own country who do not understand almost except their own language, not to mention that in a foreign country like the northwest, if you are willing to teach, the other party may not be willing to learn.

These are the problems that gradually emerged after the arrival of a large number of workers, and also attracted the attention of the entire Northwest, especially Yang Yuanzhao, the method he proposed was just to use the manpower of the entire foreign country, and in reality, only one-third of the people who could be used could be used, which cost a lot of money in the Northwest, and even every month, they would pay a part of the money to the Germans, although with the intention of supporting Germany and strengthening Germany, but it was a waste of effort, which was a harm to the Northwest.

The Northwest is now very rich, the income from various industries, the annual net income is as high as more than 20 billion US dollars, and there are other channels of funds, almost every minute, there is a massive inflow of funds, hundreds of millions of dollars of investment every year, it is nothing, but this money is given to Germany in vain, and tens of millions of people are raised.

For this reason, the entire Northwest Government attaches great importance to it, and under the combination of Yang Yuanzhao's part of the concept, when the manpower is abundant, it can choose to embark on large-scale projects, and at present, the only large-scale projects in the entire Northwest are the construction of roads and railways, and these are responsible for skilled workers such as the Construction Corps, but there is no need to consider these foreign workers, so it is necessary to come up with a project that has great benefits to the Northwest.

After careful discussion, to digest 10 million laborers, these people are not prisoners of war, no matter how to say that prisoners of war are also in the prime of labor, the ability to bear is stronger, and the people have old, there are young, under the premise of taking into account their ability, can not be excessively squeezed, a full of imagination, and the scale of the project stands out, this is a government official proposed project, in the evaluation, through the five levels of six generals, has become the preferred project, the Yellow River transformation and the Loess Plateau greening project.
