PS. Present the May Day update, don't hurry up to play after reading it, remember to vote for the month first. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoFrom now on, you can enjoy double monthly passes for the 515 Fan Festival, and you can also take a look at other activities with red envelopes!

Wang Qiu has changed the name of his company to "Wuqiu Chemical Company", and Wang Qiu is using this name to announce his attitude to the outside world.

As the oldest backbone of the Fuqiang Party, Wang Qiu's energy in the party cannot be underestimated, although he has been completely covered by the light of Pan Xun and others in recent years, he has never given up his ambitions.

It's just that as he gets older, he is no longer as radical and impatient as before, but has become calm, has become patient, and has become able to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

It seems to be really like the name he gave to the company, "Wu Qiu", and I don't know if this name is reminding him to have no desire and no desire, or if it is a cover for the outside world.

But it's really strange that he can't ask for anything, his company is called Wuqiu, and the company has two large factories, respectively in the center of Dongying, and in the suburbs, one of the two factories is called Qiuqiang, and the other is called Qiufu, which is probably his real ambition.

These two factories are huge, after so many years of development, the process has been very mature, the output has reached 400,000 tons and 600,000 tons respectively, 1 million tons of chemical fiber, has met the needs of China in this era, and a large number of exports overseas every year, is one of the best-selling and most profitable industries in China.

Every year, the profit alone has reached more than 40 million gold yuan coupons, such profits, not to mention Soviet Russia, the whole world is very hot, but it is a pity that Wang Qiu's technology has not been disclosed to the public, Europe and the United States and other countries, especially the United States has been trying to overcome this technical secret, but technology this kind of thing, in addition to the need for scientific research, sometimes also need a little secret, the British company can monopolize the alkali process for more than half a century, this is the reason.

And sometimes, the more you try to find something, the deeper it hides. In order to develop nylon and other chemical fiber products, DuPont has studied for more than ten years, but has developed many other things, such as polyethylene has been made in advance, but it has never been able to find the chemical fiber process.

Even if you successfully find a chemical fiber synthesis method, if you want to produce it on a large scale like Infinity Company, it is not possible to achieve it in a year and a half, just like soda ash Western scientists have long made it in the laboratory, but the production process of the inner door company did not break their monopoly until Hou Debang invented the joint alkali production method two years ago, and the discovery of the method and the realization of industrial production are two different things.

Therefore, the difficulties are unimaginable, so at present, only the Americans are stubbornly researching and developing, Rockefeller and DuPont want to master this technology, and European countries are not very active, and even the United Kingdom, a major chemical country, has not researched, but imports the most products from Wang Qiu every year. Germany is even less interested, because they don't have oil, and even if they have the technology, they still have to rely on British oil supplies to produce. The Germans are more interested in the coal chemical industry, which has a huge resource.

The reason why the Americans are so active is that in addition to Rockefeller's own ambition to control all oil-related industries, but also because of the bad relations between China and the United States, so that the Americans cannot import Chinese flower skewers, and the price of ten households with a chemical fiber scale of more than 300,000 tons has begun to be lower than cotton, and now it is half of cotton, which greatly affects the cotton industry in the United States, so the Americans are so concerned.

During the European War, the price of cotton in the United States reached 45 cents per pound, equivalent to 1 dollar per kilogram, but with the large-scale production of chemical fiber, the price of cotton has not exceeded 20 cents per kilogram in the past few years, and Wang Qiu's chemical fiber products polyester, aramid, etc. are 10 cents per kilogram, and the price of nylon is higher than cotton, reaching 30 cents per kilogram, the total average price can be about 15 cents, and 1 million tons is 150 million US dollars.

Chemical fiber can be directly used in textiles, compared with cotton to further processing, chemical fiber cloth is stronger than cotton, so chemical fiber products are very popular, almost in short supply. And although Wang Qiu will press the price very low, but the profit is very terrifying, a ton of oil is only 21 US dollars, a ton of oil can be refined out of about 800 kilograms of polyester, nylon and other chemical fiber products, the average consumption of oil per kilogram of chemical fiber is only 2.625 cents, even if you add other costs such as labor and electricity, each kilogram of chemical fiber products is not more than 5 cents.

As a result, even the cheapest polyester has a profit margin of up to 300%, and even after paying $50 million in profits and taxes every year, Wuqiu Chemical has a net profit of $40 million a year.

Therefore, not to mention the damage to the cotton industry in the United States, not to mention that Rockefeller and others want to master this core petrochemical technology, this kind of huge profits alone is worth their hearts.

But the Soviet Union and Russia are so concerned about chemical fiber technology, it is very rare, Yang Chao's impression that they do not pay much attention to light industry, I am afraid that the biggest purpose is to complete industrialization by manufacturing chemical fiber, earn huge profits, and Soviet Russia definitely has the advantage of developing petrochemicals, Baku oil field is still the largest oil field in Europe, Tsarist Russia is still the largest oil producer in addition to the United States and the Middle East.

Another reason is that mastering the chemical fiber is equivalent to mastering the supply of clothing raw materials, no longer subject to cotton production, which can meet the clothing problem of the huge population of Soviet Russia, just like the reason why China attaches so much importance to the chemical fiber industry in later generations is because all the land in China is used to grow cotton, and it cannot supply the clothing needs of the huge population.

Even if the Russians did not pay attention to light industry, the basic problem of clothing still had to be solved, and it was possible to convert their underground oil resources into huge profits, and it would be hellish if they were not interested in this industry.

It's a pity that they underestimate the capitalists too much, according to their understanding, as long as they give enough money, the capitalists are willing to sell anything, and their horse sect leader has long said that as long as there is 400% profit, capital will dare to commit all crimes. But to their disappointment, Wang Qiu told them with practical actions that in the free world, man is not a slave of capital, but only a tool in the hands of man. No matter how much money the Soviet Union and Russia promised to give, Wang Qiu was unwilling to transfer technology.

However, Yang Chao has an extra eye on this, he thinks that the Russians are too generous in bidding, the whole set of industry and equipment, they are willing to contribute 100 million US dollars, Yang Chao feels abnormal, if the Soviet Union has 100 million US dollars, they are more willing to purchase equipment, more willing to build factories, where will they buy what technology, Soviet Russia's technical awareness is not so high.

Yang Chao couldn't help but think of his old friend Rockefeller, and secretly thought in his heart that he was afraid that he had just handed over the technology to Soviet Russia, and they would give it to Rockefeller, and the most enthusiastic response to Soviet Russia's new economic policy was American businessman, the famous American entrepreneur Hammer, who is now an old friend of the Soviet Russian people, and can eventually grow into an oil king, which is enough to make people suspect that Hammer has a lot to do with Rockefeller.

It is quite possible that it was an American businessman like Hammer who brokered the bridge between Soviet Russia and Rockefeller.

But this made Yang Chao start to be careful, some technologies have nothing to do with the Russians, such as diesel engine technology that can enhance their military strength, so that they can create tanks like T34, aircraft technology that can enhance their strength, so that they will not be too vegetable, but those technologies that cannot be obtained by the United States must be blocked, such as penicillin technology with strategic advantages, aircraft engine technology, and so on.

Penicillin technology has actually been made public now, Dr. Wu Liande is not a businessman, he has no interest in making more money, research and development of penicillin to make money, not as good as his reputation through research and publication of papers, a few years after the European War, he made penicillin technology public, and won the Nobel Prize, the following year the streptomycin technology was made public, and won another Nobel Prize.

But the technology is public, but China's technology has developed to a higher level, Wu Liande has now been invited by Yang Chao to teach at Beijing Medical University, research and development work and enterprises have now been handed over to others to operate, Yang Chao is a sole proprietorship, and efforts to upgrade penicillin production to a new level.

The core technology is the cultivation of high-yield strains, and with a secondary level of biological knowledge, you should know that cosmic rays can stimulate biological mutation, and microorganisms can also mutate, Yang Chao through the high-energy rays of the alien spacecraft, mutagenesis several kinds of penicillium strains that are not only high-yielding, but also easier to cultivate, so that China's penicillin production efficiency is at least ten times higher than the technology announced by Wu Liande.

The cost of producing a penicillin that can inhibit a person's traumatic infection is about $10, while when the price of penicillin in China is only $1, their production is equivalent to meaningless, and the result is that even if the technology is mastered, the rest of the world is now only researching, only small-scale production, and there is no willingness to expand production at all, and even if there is a war, I am afraid that many countries would rather import from China, after all, the war is also about money, and the cost needs to be considered.

After all, after occupying Siberia and making Soviet Russia suffer heavier losses in the civil war, Yang Chao was still very worried that Soviet Russia would not be able to resist the Nazis, in that case, it would not be so easy for China to let the British Empire honestly hand over the world hegemony, after all, one of the biggest reasons why the British Empire surrendered the world hegemony to the United States in history was the threat of Soviet Russia, so that they could not resist without relying on the United States.

Since it is possible that the technology will be transmitted from Soviet Russia to the United States, it is not possible to teach the high-yielding penicillin strains to Soviet Russia, at most it will be sold to them cheaply in the name of humanity, or even subsidized for free.

Thinking of this, before Yang Chao left, he specially called Li Fuan to say hello.

Li Fuan has been much more honest in recent years, ******** integrate his own strength, mainly capitalists in Shandong and Northeast China, and now he is already the spokesperson of industrial capital, especially heavy industry capital, under the banner of a strong country, Li Fuan has always been promoting the development of China's heavy industry.

After Li Fuan understood Yang Chao's concerns, he immediately said that he would personally pay attention to ensure that all industries related to military power would not cooperate with Soviet Russia, and Yang Chao set off for Siberia with confidence.
