Of the two newly purchased steel plants, one has been completed and started trial production, and the equipment of the other has also been transported to Baiyun Obo for installation.

Because under the instructions of Song Zhewu, the resource exploration department presided over by Sun Sirong has discovered a super-large iron, rare earth, and niobium endogenous mixed ore on the basis of the original small mine in Baiyun Obo as scheduled, and only waited for the Taiku Railway to start production in Baiyun Obo.

Regarding the fact that Baiyun Obo has large iron ore and rare earth mines, of course Song Zhewu will not tell Sun Sirong directly, otherwise he will not be able to explain it clearly. Song Zhewu only asked Sun Sirong's resource exploration office to give priority to exploring the areas along the Taiku Railway, on the grounds that the areas along the line were convenient for mining and transportation.

Taiyuan Special Steel Plant, which has 10 electric furnaces and an annual output of 100,000 tons of alloy steel, has also been officially completed and started trial production.

As for the original Yucai Steelmaking Plant and Shanxi No. 1 Steelmaking Plant, because of their small production capacity and backward equipment, their equipment was allocated to Taiyuan Steel Mill and Taiyuan Taiyuan Special Steel Plant.

The North Machinery and Equipment Company, which integrated the former Yan Xishan arsenal and Shanxi's major industrial facilities, has thoroughly straightened out its production structure and production relations, and the original modern scientific and technological personnel and a large number of recruited scientific and technological personnel have been recombined to enrich the scientific research and production departments at all levels, so that the scientific research and technical strength of the North Machinery and Equipment Company has been greatly enhanced. At the same time, the equipment of each plant has also been updated and increased.

Although there is still a big gap between the overall scientific research strength and production capacity of the North Machinery and Equipment Company and the large western companies, it has fully possessed all the conditions of a modern enterprise, as long as it develops with peace of mind and the full support of Song Zhewu, it is entirely possible to become a first-class large company in time.

In addition, in Baiyun Obo, a small rare earth refinery has already begun construction. Li Minghua's secret research on semiconductor technology has made a breakthrough, and in the near future, semiconductor materials will be needed in large quantities.

The pharmaceutical research presided over by Wang Lianzhang is also fruitful, and penicillin has completed the research on the production process of industrial crystallization and purification, and it can be put into large-scale production after the clinical trial is over. Clinical trials in the United States are also being launched at the same time, and if everything goes well, penicillin can be put on the market next year, which will also be another important source of revenue for Song Zhewu.

It goes without saying that whoever gives penicillin to produce it will make a fortune. Even if any company produces penicillin, it can be basically affirmed that this company is destined to be famous in the world, and it is also destined to make this company prosperous and become a famous large multinational pharmaceutical company, which Song Zhewu has already explained to Li Rujuan.

At present, in the Taiyuan Administration, even in the whole country, only Xinghua's wholly-owned subsidiary, Xinghua Pharmaceutical Company, is a large company specializing in the development and production of Western medicines, and it is most suitable to hand over the production to it. However, to hand over penicillin to Xinghua Pharmaceutical Company for production and sales, there is some meaning that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. In particular, the dividend ratio is not easy to divide, according to international practice, the patent of penicillin belongs to him personally, and now it has been handed over to Xinghua Pharmaceutical, Xinghua Pharmaceutical should occupy the absolute majority, and the proportion of the division will definitely not be more than half, or even less; And if there is less left, it is not conducive to the future development of Xinghua Pharmaceutical.

Therefore, although Li Rujuan and Song both soft and hard threatened to want Song Zhewu to hand over penicillin to Xinghua Pharmaceutical for production, Song Zhewu did not make a decision for a long time.

In the end, Xiao Guodong and Jia Jingde found Song Zhewu together, and the two came up with a plan: first, penicillin must not only be handed over to Xinghua Pharmaceutical for production and sales, but its production patent must also be unconditionally handed over to Xinghua Pharmaceutical, which is more conducive to rapid production of benefits.

Although the industrial extraction technology was developed by Wang Lianzhang, their patent belonged to the Fourth Route Army, not to mention the prompting of Song Zhewu. There is also the patent right of penicillin that belongs to Song Zhewu, and it is handed over to Song Zhewu's own company for production and sales, and no one will make irresponsible remarks.

The second is the issue of dividends. Xiao Guodong and Jia Jingde suggested that Xinghua Pharmaceutical should hand over 50 percent of the annual sales of penicillin to the Finance Committee of the Northern Construction and Development Committee, which will allocate it in a unified manner. This finally solved the problem.

As for Xinghua, it goes without saying, it's too good to be good now. Among its three main wholly-owned subsidiaries, the electronics company has not only opened up the situation in China and occupied the domestic market with refrigerators, air conditioners, and radios, but also gained fame and fortune in the world.

Now, its Chensheng brand radio, Bingshan brand refrigerator freezer, and Chunguang brand air conditioner are all famous all over the world, and there are still as many sales, and foreigners are rushing to buy them with a dead face.

Needless to say, refrigerators, freezers, and air conditioners, radios alone now occupy more than 90 percent of the domestic market, and they also occupy 50 percent of the market share in Nanyang and Yueben. Of course, their prices have dropped a lot now.

Although the unit price of nylon stockings of chemical companies is far lower than that of refrigerators and air conditioners, it is better than the huge demand and the profitability is far higher than that of electronic companies.

Since the joint venture in the United States will be engaged in production at the end of the year, the price of stockings will inevitably drop sharply at that time, and now there is not much time for such huge profits. As a result, chemical companies are now working at full capacity 24 hours a day to produce stockings.

Pharmaceutical companies' Chinese patent medicines are also selling very well, and the new drugs made from artemisinin, which is used to treat dysentery, extracted from Artemisia annua, have been sold in short supply by foreign countries. At present, Chinese patent medicine has formed eight series and dozens of varieties.

In the various home remedies of traditional Chinese medicine, there are not many useful ingredients for each herb, and the useful ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine are lost more in the boiling process, but the concentration of active ingredients screened by Wang Lianzhang's laboratory research is much higher, and the efficacy of the Chinese patent medicine made is very good. It is said that even Chairman Chiang is now accustomed to taking Chinese patent medicine produced by Xinghua.

If Schmidt Pharmaceuticals were to produce penicillin, it would be more than just a matter of capturing the domestic and Asian markets.

Xinghua's traditional industries of grain and weaving and dyeing are still booming as always, and its production capacity has topped the list in the north. However, now their profits are no longer very important to Song Zhewu, who has a big business and a large cost.

In order to focus more on the main businesses of electronics, chemicals, and medicine, Li Rujuan, after discussing with Song Zhewu, is ready to sell these two companies, together with some of the former Shanxi Provincial Government Axe enterprises that were not auctioned off last time and have been put on the right track after Xinghua's rectification, in the form of auctions......
