[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 419: Night Talk Penicillin (Ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for everything!) ）

After dinner, Ma Zheng did not go back to rest, but after sending the other members of the working group back to the resting place, he came to the small courtyard where the chairman lived alone with a folder.

After being reported by the guard battalion, Ma Zheng was invited in.

When he came in, Ma Zheng saw the chairman washing his feet, and when he saw Ma Zheng pushing the door in, the chairman said with a smile: "Why did you run here if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" ”

Ma Zheng smiled and said, "Isn't this something important to report to you, just come over now when you have time!" ”

"What's the important thing, I think there must be something wrong with your kid inviting me this time, and now the fox's tail is exposed, right? Hehehe! The chairman said as he wiped his feet.

Ma Zheng said with a smile: "It's still the chairman's eyes, I can't hide anything from you, I invite you to come over this time to report to you very important things, if the working group doesn't come, I'm planning to go back to Yan'an." ”

"Oh, what's so important?" The chair asked, surprised.

Ma Zheng did not answer the chairman's words, but walked to the door to take a look, and then said to the guards standing guard at the door: "You go and stand outside, from now on no one can approach this courtyard without the order of me and the chairman, understand!" ”

"Yes!"

The person in charge of protecting the chairman was Tie Niu's special combat team, and they reacted quickly after hearing Ma Zheng's order!

Seeing Ma Zheng so solemn, the chairman knew that what Ma Zheng was going to say must be extremely important, so he immediately put on his shoes, came to the small square table and sat down at the small square table of the guests, waiting for Ma Zheng's report.

Ma Zheng first took out a few documents from the folder and put them in front of the chairman, and then said: "Actually, the things I want to report to you are about one medicine and two weapons, and the specific information is in these documents, Chairman first, take a look!" ”

After receiving the document handed over by Ma Zheng, the chairman immediately looked at it, and the more he looked at the look on the chairman's face, the more shocked he became, and then it turned into excitement, and even the voice of panting couldn't help but get louder.

After a long time, the chairman put the documents on the table, stared at Ma Zheng and asked, "Where did all these things come from?"

"We developed it ourselves, the medicine is, and so are the weapons and equipment!" Ma Zheng replied.

"Did we really develop it ourselves?" The chair asked, surprised.

"Well, in fact, the existence of penicillin was proposed as early as 1928, but it was not taken seriously, but as far as I know, there are still many people and many institutions developing penicillin, including Japan and the United States, but they have not succeeded, but we have succeeded." Ma Zheng replied.

"Is this medicine really effective for diseases such as tuberculosis and pneumonia?"

"Well, not only that, but the biggest thing about this drug is that it works wonders for inflammation. As we all know, there are very few soldiers who die directly on the battlefield, most of them die after being wounded, and the biggest killer of the wounded is the inflammation and suppuration of the wound, and the main effect of penicillin is to solve this matter, as long as the physique is not allergic, after the operation, take penicillin tablets or inject some penicillin injections, you can ensure that there will be no fever, and the wounded who have fever and inflammation can also quickly reduce inflammation. Ma Zheng replied.

The chairman's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood the value of this medicine. If it is really like what Ma Zheng said, this medicine is too precious, and with this medicine, I don't know how many fewer people will die.

"Comrade Ma Zheng, who developed this drug, and what is the output?" The Chairman immediately asked.

"It was developed by Comrade Li Lanqing on the basis of the core information of the 731 unit of the Japanese army, but due to the constraints of conditions, the output is not very high, and the annual output is only 100 tons." Ma Zheng said.

"We have to find a way to increase production, if this medicine is really as effective as you say, I'm afraid the consumption of the troops will not be less, the output of a hundred tons is too low!" The Chairman said.

"Well, that's for sure, but it's more important that we develop the commercial value of penicillin!" Ma Zheng said.

"What, are you going to sell penicillin drugs?" The chair asked, surprised.

"Chairman, the value of penicillin is so great that it can be said to be a weapon that changes the world, and we happen to have this weapon in front of others, how can we waste this advantage!" Ma Zheng said.

"But didn't you say that we only produce a hundred tons?" The chairman asked, frowning.

"Chairman, what is the market reaction to the penicillin drug once it is available?" Ma Zheng did not answer the chairman's question, but asked another question.

"Demand outstrips supply!" The Chairman said.

"Yes, it must be in short supply, and now diseases including tuberculosis, pneumonia, diphtheria and other diseases are still terminal, but once penicillin is sold to the outside world, this disease will soon become a curable disease, so it is completely conceivable that penicillin will react after it is put on the market. In addition, there are frequent wars all over the world, and the current situation in Europe is not very stable, so if there will be a big war in the next year or two, penicillin will inevitably have a market priceless comparable to gold. ”

Then Ma Zheng continued: "Chairman, the commercial value of penicillin is unimaginable, and if it is operated well, it will inevitably earn a lot of money for our party and our army. Once we have money, we will be able to get out of the current predicament, and the troops will enter the fast lane of development. What's more, although we have a head start, but it is not the same as once and for all, as far as I know, several scientists in the UK are also developing methods to purify penicillin, and the trial progress is very fast, so we have to register a patent before them, and then seize the market, and try to maximize the commercial value of penicillin. ”

"Comrade Ma Zheng, what you said is very reasonable, but the question is how to solve the problem of output? Besides, we are now almost in a state of blockade by Japanese and recalcitrant forces, how to register patents, how to seize the market! The chairman asked in a deep voice.

Ma Zheng said solemnly: "This is the core problem I want to talk to you today, the domestic situation must be clear to you, it is not suitable for the production of penicillin at all, first, there are problems with sanitary conditions and technology, and secondly, there are problems in raw materials, even if we go all out, the production capacity will not be increased there." In addition, we are constantly at war, so it is not suitable for commercial activities at all. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"Go abroad!" Ma Zheng said in surprise.

"Going abroad?" The chairman looked at Ma Zheng in surprise, waiting for him to explain further.

Ma Zheng immediately said: "Chairman, the market for penicillin is undoubtedly broad, and we were in a monopoly state before others developed penicillin drugs, and if it is operated well, this will definitely become our cash cow." So I think it's necessary to send someone to a business-friendly country to fully exploit the commercial value of penicillin in exchange for the money we desperately need. ”

"Well, your idea is quite novel, so do you think that country is suitable?" The Chair asked again.

"America!"

"The United States? Why the United States, and not the USSR? You must know that the United States has always been at odds with the old Chiang, while the Soviet Union has a good relationship with us! The chairman said.

"Chairman, I chose the United States because the environment in the United States is relatively free, and there is a strong business atmosphere there, but this is not the case in the Soviet Union, which is not suitable for business at all. More importantly, the situation in Europe is unstable now, and the Soviet Union will be drawn into the war one day, just like the First World War, so we can't put the blame on the Soviet Union. Ma Zheng said.

"Well, there is some truth in what you said, the environment in the Soviet Union was really not suitable for business. Since you have put forward such an idea, do you have a plan? Again, the Chairman said.

"Yes!" As he spoke, Ma Zheng took out a document from his briefcase again and handed it to the chairman.

After reading the documents handed over by Ma Zheng, the chairman looked at Ma Zheng for a long time, and then asked in disbelief: "You really plan to send your daughter-in-law to the United States?" (To be continued.) )
