A large number of boxes and purses containing seeds of raw rubber, opium, coptis and rubber trees were unloaded from the two sailing boats leaning against the quays of Liverpool Harbour, and hundreds of coolies carried them onto a wagon that had been waiting on the edge of the quay.

Meyer. Blomstein took a few of the newly accepted apprentices from the pharmacy and sweated profusely to unpack and inspect the goods one by one. Which goods are not good enough and the quantity is not enough, you need to record it immediately, and then find the supplier to theorize. As Zhu Jishi became famous, he received invitations from the French Academy of Sciences and the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, and there were even rumors of knighthood. Business at the Logoin Pharmacy has suddenly improved a lot, and the drugs with the addition of diethyl X morphine and morphine hydrochloride are indeed miraculous, and many hospitals and doctors are happy to use them.

So by the beginning of March 1843, the small pharmacy on Dover Street in London was no longer able to produce enough to meet demand. Therefore, Zhu decided to open a pharmaceutical factory in Manchester, specializing in the production of patented drugs such as diethyl X morphine, morphine hydrochloride and berberine hydrochloride, and thus H Valentin Pharmacy was transformed into Hero Pharmaceuticals.

At the same time, the same Kospel, who quit his job at the Bank of Bahrain and co-founded a rubber products company with Zhu Jishi. William also returned to Manchester from the Americas, where he managed to raise £10,000 in shares, as well as hundreds of tonnes of raw rubber and thousands of pounds of rubber seeds. So the opening of the "Jason-Cospel Rubber Products Factory" was also put on the agenda. At William's suggestion, he bought a defunct textile factory and used it as a joint site for a pharmaceutical factory and a rubber products factory.

These days, Kospel. The raw rubber and seeds ordered by William, as well as the batch of medicinal herbs ordered by Hero Pharmaceutical, happened to arrive at the port of Liverpool. Zhu Jishi also rushed over from London to personally supervise the unloading, in fact, he was standing in a corner of the dock, and Kospel. William walked around casually, opened a box from time to time, took out the various goods inside, looked at it a few times, smelled the smell, and then smiled wryly at Kospel. William said: "Kospel, I won't tell you, I still know a little bit about this coptis chinensis, and I really don't know whether opium and raw rubber are good or bad." This business is really a layman, but when it comes to managing the factory, I'm afraid I don't know anything about it, and I'm really afraid of losing all my money. ”

This is sincere, doing business is also a science, where does Zhu Jishi understand? He is not as good as Mrs. Duran in this regard, at least he has been running a clothing store for many years, and he has a little business experience. Fortunately, Zhu Jishi now holds four patents, and he is doing a monopoly business, otherwise he will definitely lose money!

But a while ago, I opened a small pharmacy and manually refined and prepared some medicines. Now it's time to open a pharmaceutical factory and a rubber products factory! It's big industry! And it's all business that no one has done before, so how to do it, there is really no bottom at all.

During this time, this great doctor Zhu was not even in the mood to compile the "English-Chinese Dictionary", and devoted all his experience to opening a factory, but he still didn't have the slightest certainty. Cospel. William smiled when he heard this: "Jason, in fact, I haven't run a factory either, but it doesn't matter, we don't understand industry, we can hire managers who know how to do it." The economy in Europe is quite depressed this year, almost all industries are shrinking, and it will not be too difficult to hire a haode manager. In addition, we need to hire some engineers, preferably who understand chemistry, who can help us design the production line and streamline the production process. ”

Zhu Jishi nodded slightly, "You're right, I have such a plan, I also want to hire a few chemists, microbiologists and pharmacologists to set up a laboratory to develop new drugs." In addition, some product designers are needed, and rubber companies need a product design department. By the way, the pharmaceutical factory seems to have a lot of products now, and it would be nice if we could sell the production authorization of those miscellaneous patented drugs, and then concentrate on the production of diethyl X morphine, morphine hydrochloride and berberine hydrochloride, as well as a few new drugs that can be used as fist products......"

Cospel. William smiled and nodded, "Jason, you still said that you can't manage, I don't think even the most professional managers can think of these methods." He paused and said, "Otherwise, I'll leave the matter of hiring managers to me, I still know some excellent managers in the business world." ”

Zhu Jishi smiled and looked at Kospel. William said: "That's great, Kospel, I wonder if we can set up a holding company, let's call it Jishi Holding Company, how about you this general manager?" ”

"The general manager of the holding company? Jason, you're going to put the whole business burden on me! "Cospel. William laughed.

"Do you want to do it?"

"! But I'm not a cheap manager! ”

Zhu Jishi gave a slap in the face in Kospel. William's eyes shook, "5% shares!" Is 5% of the shares of Jishi Holdings for you, plus an annual salary of £1,000, enough? ”

"Enough, enough! Jason, xiexie you! "Cospel. William looked at Zhu Jishi gratefully and nodded emphatically, "Please rest assured, I, the general manager, will definitely not let you down." ”

Jeshi Holdings currently owns 75 per cent of Hero Pharmaceuticals and 50 per cent of Jason Kospel Rubber, with a total capital of £17,500 on the surface, and a 5% stake is less than £900. William knows the true value of Jishi Holdings, and the patents of the three APIs and the patents of vulcanized rubber alone must be worth more than 300,000 pounds at present! In the next 20 years, the value that these patents can create is unimaginable. If we add to this the 5 per cent shares he owned, the 5 per cent shares he owned in the Hero Pharmaceutical Company and the Jason-Cospel Rubber Company, the second young master of the trading firm, who had little property to inherit, could now be said to have completed his primitive accumulation and had become an honorable member of the bourgeoisie.

However, Zhu Jishi's 5% stake was not given for nothing. Wilhelm's background, which he had figured out through Engels, Kospel. William's family is also a well-known family in the business circles of Europe and the New World, although it is not as famous in Europe as the Bahrain family and the Rothschilds, but the prestige in the New World is by no means below that of the DuPont family.

Of course Kospel. William is not a core member of the William family, otherwise Zhu Jishi would not be able to stammer, but people always have a few ways in the European and American business circles. After a trip to the New World, he was able to raise £10,000 in financing, brought back 1,000 pounds of rubber tree seeds, and negotiated with Kew Gardens, Britain's largest botanical garden, to entrust them to grow gum saplings in greenhouses, and to find out the growth habits of these various types of rubber trees, so as to start a large rubber tree plantation in the future.

These two contributions alone are worth a 5% stake in Jeshi Holdings, not to mention that the other party's connections in the British financial community could raise large sums of money for Hero Pharmaceutical and Jason-Cospel Rubber.

As soon as the conversation between the two ended, Zhu Jishi saw that the figure of Countess Isabel appeared on the dock at some point, and was slowly walking towards him.
