[406] Settle accounts with joy

Fok Yingdong's ambition is not just rhetoric, he feels that he is now fully capable of doing so.

The previous penicillin sales in South America alone made a monthly profit of 1 million pounds, equivalent to more than 2.8 million US dollars, even if the profit was shared to the Hong Kong Governor's wife Murray Murray, there was a net profit of 2.6 million US dollars!

In the Southeast Asian and Oceania markets, Starlight is also the leader, killing Pfizer and Glaxo Conway, with a net profit of more than $4 million per month.

The performance of the European market is even more exciting for Fok Yingdong, and by subcontracting European countries to various agents, the monthly income of Xingguang Bank has reached 9 million US dollars! If it weren't for the fact that East Germany also got Chinese goods and participated in European competition, Starlight would have been more profitable.

Fok Ying-tung, who earns tens of millions of dollars a month, is now the richest man in Hong Kong, and he understands that everything he has is due to the motherland. Therefore, in terms of the pricing power of new drugs, everything is subject to domestic arrangements.

The state requires Huo Yingdong to reduce the profits of drugs in the future, such as penicillin, the market wholesale price of 200,000 units has been reduced to a dozen 1 US dollars, so the domestic profits are also low.

At the same time, the state also requires Xingguang to play the role of a commercial intelligence agency to collect drug price fluctuations in various countries in a timely manner, so that the domestic market can adjust the pricing in time to ensure that China's drugs have a dominant market position.

Huo Yingdong readily agreed, because after looking at the domestic supply price, his eyeballs were about to fall!

The streptomycin and isoniazid, as everyone knows, are the most sought-after and most popular drugs for the treatment of tuberculosis in the American newspapers at the moment. Although the United States has developed dihydrostreptomycin, it cannot be prepared on a large scale due to the first; Second, the price is surprisingly high; Previously, a gram per bottle cost $0.8, and the third side effect was extremely strong.

China, on the other hand, produces penicillin sulfate, which is not a preparation method at all and can be industrially produced on a large scale compared to dihydrostreptomycin, which has strong side effects.

As for the history of isoniazid, which only came out in the United States and Switzerland in 1952, it is a unique drug that has swept Shijie at this moment, and it can be sold at almost any price you want. He was really flattered that the country was able to supply a large number of new special drugs to Huo Yingdong when they were "just put into production".

The reason why the state did not monopolize sales under the state-run export system was mainly due to Xiaoqiang's suggestion, because by the beginning of 1951, the United States had begun to use the sulfuric acid method to prepare streptomycin, and with the copycat ability of the United States, I believe that it will not be long before the easy-to-prepare isoniazid APIs will be copied by them in large quantities. With the huge industrial capacity of the United States, once the copycat succeeds, the current high-priced streptomycin and isoniazid prices will inevitably plummet, so at the moment, grabbing the market is the most important thing.

As for chloramphenicol, the comrades in the north told Fok Ying-tung that they only offered eye drops and tablets, and did not provide the bizarre beige capsules that were similar to the standard of the American "Parker-Davis" drug manufacturer on the market.

Fok Yingdong now puts all his thoughts on the pharmaceutical business, and he also knows a little about the chloramphenicol capsules of the "Parker Davis" pharmaceutical factory in the United States, but he only knows that the thing is surprisingly expensive, and a bottle of 12 capsules sells for $10! It is also often out of stock, reaching $20 per bottle at its peak. It was once touted as a medicine that brought the dead back to life.

However, the comrades in the north said that the side effects of that thing are large, and it may cause irreversible bone marrow damage, which can lead to aplastic anemia, and is generally only used for eye drops, and this time it is 100 chloramphenicol tablets in a bottle, and the instructions inside are written in detail, prohibiting long-term use and repeated use for the same patient.

There is an old Chinese saying that if you do a job, you must be good at a line, and Fok Yingdong deliberately made a bottle of "Parker-Davis" chloramphenicol, and found that there were no such tips on it, so he angrily threw the bottle of foreign medicine into the trash. At the same time, Huo Yingdong was very moved, sure enough, these side effects or something, only we Chinese will tell the Chinese.

Xiaoqiang sat down at the dining table, took the soup bowl handed by Meng Sisi, and drank a bowl of chicken soup first.

Before I had time to eat, there was movement in the courtyard again, and I pushed the door out, only to see Dongzi standing at the door with a surprised face, and shouting in a daze: "Hello Prime Minister!" ”

Xiao Qiang saw that the prime minister was coming, so he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Prime Minister, you're here."

The prime minister smiled and nodded, and said, "I don't want to do anything, I heard that you and Mr. Peng are arguing about going to North Korea, so I will hurry up and take a look, so you don't have to run by yourself." ”

Meng Sisi was a little panicked, but quickly calmed down and hurriedly beckoned the prime minister to come in and sit in the house.

The prime minister saw dinner on the living room table, and said with a hearty smile: "You guys are eating, I just haven't eaten dinner, so I will have a meal here by the way, Sisi, you don't mind." ”

Meng Sisi smiled like a flower, and quickly ran out to get the prime minister's dishes and chopsticks. Xiaoqiang invited the prime minister to take a seat, and after the prime minister sat down, he sat next to the prime minister.

Xiaoqiang knew that the prime minister came here on purpose for his own affairs, and when he saw Meng Sisi leaving, he didn't do anything to foreshadow, and took the opportunity to say straightforwardly: "Prime Minister, my life is too idle now, like a transport captain, just tossing back and forth, I want to do something meaningful and realize my dreams." ”

The prime minister did not shy away from it, picked up the soup bowl used in front of Xiaoqiang, filled himself with half a bowl of chicken soup, and said with a smile: "I'll try your family Sisi's craftsmanship." ”

Meng Sisi was entering the house with the freshly washed dishes and chopsticks, and said with a red face when he heard the words: "That's stewed by Master He, Prime Minister, next time you come, I'll stew it for you." ”

When Xiaoqiang saw Meng Sisi entering the house, he couldn't say something confidential, so he quickly asked Prime Minister Meng Sisi to serve dinner, and the three of them ate.

The prime minister's face was thin, obviously he had not rested well recently, Xiaoqiang and Meng Sisi were busy putting vegetables in the prime minister's bowl, and the prime minister did not refuse. The prime minister only ate a bowl of rice and said, "Sisi, you go out first, I have something to say to Xiaoqiang." ”

After only Xiaoqiang and the prime minister were left in the living room, the prime minister leaned back on the sofa and said: "Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, revolutionary work, only the division of labor is different, it is all important, and your current work is more important than anyone else. ”

When Xiao Qiang saw that the prime minister directly called his name, he also became serious.

The premier continued: "For the liberation and rejuvenation of the nation, we, the Chinese Producers, have fought for 23 years since the August 1 Nanchang Uprising. We have long been tired of fighting, we don't want to fight, and we hope to build our own country peacefully. But at present, the imperialist enemy is unwilling to let us stop and force us to continue fighting, and we have no choice.

Xiaoqiang, your current work is much more important than fighting a war, and it is much more important than me, the prime minister. Fighting a war is a life-threatening job, anyone can go, even Mr. Peng, the commander-in-chief of the Volunteer Army, can also be replaced by someone else, and I, the prime minister, can be replaced by someone else, and it is the same.

But what about your job? Who can replace? You can't be replaced!

Xiaoqiang, you have ideas now, I can understand it. Who hasn't been younger? In this era, what guy hasn't dreamed of going to the front line to kill the enemy and defend his family and country?

But for the whole country and the nation, you have to have a sense of responsibility and know what you should do and what you can't do. ”

Xiao Qiang wanted to refute, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only listen with a red face.

Prime Minister Zuihou said: "In short, you can't do this thing of war. I can meet your other requirements. ”

Xiao Qiang pursed his lips and said, "No requirements, I'm doing well." ”

The prime minister smiled, afraid that Xiaoqiang would be entangled in this matter and make trouble, so he diverted the topic and said: "Xiaoqiang, recently Premier Chen Yun told me that our export business is very good, and the export of drugs has earned more than 150 million US dollars for the country in half a year, and if it is all converted into gold, there will be more than 133 tons." Through the efforts of our comrades overseas, we actually obtained 82 tons of gold from various channels, and we still have more than 57 million US dollars in our hands. Of course, this is still far from the more than 19,000 tons of gold reserves just announced by the US Federal Reserve this year, but this is too important for a poor country like China!

In addition to the more than 90 taels of gold and more than 30 million taels of silver, and more than $50 million of silver, which we have seized from Taiwan, we now have 110 tons of gold, more than 1,100 tons of silver, and more than $100 million in the treasury. ”

The more the prime minister spoke, the more excited he became, patting the back of Xiaoqiang's hand beside him and saying, "Xiaoqiang, these credits must be recorded in your account!" The Motherland and the people will never forget the great contribution you made in it! ”

Xiaoqiang was excited by what the prime minister said, forgot his regret that he couldn't go to the battlefield, and asked: "How did you seize the 900,000 taels of gold from Taiwan?" Chang Kaishen only withdrew 2,775,358 taels of gold from the Shanghai Central Reserve! ”

The prime minister said angrily: "After we interrogated Lao Jiang during this time, he confessed that a small part of about 300,000 taels was awarded to his officers, and a large part of about 1 million taels was deposited with the US government to mortgage the billion-dollar foreign debt he owed before.

Now, due to Chang Kaishen's defeat, the United States has said that the more than one million taels of gold is not enough for a fraction of Chang Kaishen's $1 billion foreign debt, and it has been confiscated by the US government. Even the rest of the Kuomintang government's bonds, stocks, and land assets in the United States were frozen by the United States. After the arguments of our diplomats, this part of the assets that were not used as collateral by Chang Kaishen as foreign debts has not been confiscated for the time being, but it has been frozen indefinitely, but this is no different from being confiscated. ”

Xiaoqiang couldn't help but cry out pity.

Seeing Xiaoqiang's mood, the prime minister said with a smile: "There is good news, our gold exchange work in the first half of this year has been counted, and it is estimated that the whole country will be able to complete the gold exchange work of 1 million taels this year, so that the treasury reserves can increase by more than 30 tons, reaching or approaching 150 tons."

The previous fabric sales are also very gratifying, and the current monthly fabric sales across the country can make a profit of more than 60 million yuan, and in a few months, the profit is more than 200 million! According to the current exchange price of 2.7 yuan a gram of gold by the People's Bank of China, it is equivalent to saying that the money we spent on redeeming gold has been brought back from the cloth, which not only will not cause inflation, but also greatly more than double the market capital, which has effectively curbed the inflation in the current market. The central authorities expect that by the end of the year, the current rationing system will be abolished and the salary system will be implemented throughout the country. ”
