A group was created: 237838253
Welcome to the coppers who support this book, and the staff committee and the setting party will also come......
..........................................................................................
Xingke's large-scale disaster relief plan this time is only a small part of it out of "humanitarian" considerations. In fact, Wen Desi is a very cold-blooded person, and "noble virtues" such as humanitarianism, ultimate care, internationalism, etc., are all floating clouds to him. If it were another country that was affected, even if one country died, he would definitely be indifferent.
More factors are based on practical considerations, because whether for the country or the organization, human resources are the most valuable things, especially human resources of the same language, which are irreplaceable. However, in this era, the vast majority of people do not have this concept, not to mention the alien colonial regime like the Qing Dynasty, although the revolutionary parties such as Tong Menghui are better, but they are not much better, at least people like Pao Gong will never take the people seriously. Of course, there are many enthusiastic young people in the revolutionary party who are really worried about the country and the people, but they have nothing to do about this situation.
A large part of this is due to the desire to preserve more human resources for China, and the prestige is actually just an incidental product, and as for satisfying the so-called "moral superiority", it is a matter of no shadow. But others don't think much of it, especially the people in the disaster area, who simply see Moontokuji and Kyodo as saviors.
So last year, Xingke Group used direct or indirect means to buy agricultural products in the international market. A total of 6oo tons of grain, 2o tons of edible oil, 50,000 tons of cotton. About 5o% of this was purchased from the United States, and the rest from British and French colonies such as India, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.
At that time, the world economy was just improving, and the prices of agricultural products on the international market were very low, only 11-12 US dollars per ton of wheat, about 5o-6o US dollars a ton of edible oil, and about 65o US dollars a ton of cotton. This batch of materials, plus freight, cost a total of more than 8ooo US dollars, equivalent to more than half of Xingke's industrial income last year. Had it not been for Kyodo's massive confiscations and a few big deals in the financial markets, the expansion plans of several years would have been affected.
Some people may think that this money is too unjustly spent, but the long-term vision must be long-term, and Wen Desi's vision has never been limited to one city and one place. Besides, this batch of materials is not a free charity, Wen Desi has never been this kind of wrongdoer, and he is even more unwilling to form an atmosphere of getting something for nothing. Disaster victims have to work hard to get relief supplies.
Roads, railways, mines, water conservancy projects, logging and afforestation, farmland renovation, etc., are all projects that require a lot of manpower. Even if the territory of Xingke and Kyodo cannot accommodate so many laborers for a while, there are several disaster-stricken provinces in the Yangtze River basin, which can be resettled nearby.
Even if the infrastructure construction in these places will not be able to directly control it for a while, it will even increase the strength of the opponent. But for Moon, that's not a problem. Anyway, as long as you hit it down, you can use it yourself, which saves much time compared to beating it down and repairing it again. What Wen Deji lacks most now is time, so he admits that this approach will have some negative effects.
The cost of cash-for-work is much lower than normal employment. Only spend 1. $500 million can make a big difference in the infrastructure of several provinces in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, which is really cheap. If it were to be replaced by normal employment, the cost would be at least five or six times more.
After the supplies arrived, the Xingke headquarters and Kyodo News sent many teams into the control of the revolutionary party or the Qing court to organize and supervise the cash-for-work activities. Wen Desi has just been praised by the Qing court, and the people sent by Xingke are naturally very popular in the Qing court-controlled area, and there are people to help with disaster relief, how can the Qing public servants be unhappy. Kyodosha's actions in the revolutionary party-controlled districts have received strong support, after all, the revolutionaries are currently the biggest beneficiary.

Xingke headquarters.
"Mr. Wen, those old stubborns in the Chinese medicine industry refuse to accept our Chinese patent medicine at all. Some of the famous doctors also said that only quacks will use prescription medicines, and they must use drugs differently from person to person in order to show their ability......" Lu Huitian, who is in charge of the second pharmaceutical factory, said angrily.
Since it was his turn to speak, the barrage of complaints blurted out, and he criticized the Chinese medicine community for a quarter of an hour, and the other department heads either pretended not to see it, or were stunned, and more were snickering.
No way, as the only unit that lost money last year, Lu Huitian's resentment is completely understandable.
Xingke Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has 4 pharmaceutical factories under its umbrella. The first pharmaceutical factory is mainly engaged in the production of chemically synthesized modern drugs, and its main products are 998 (grade arcosine vanamine), aspirin, quinine, vitamins, medical glycerin, etc. The No. 2 Pharmaceutical Factory is mainly engaged in the production of traditional prescription drugs, and its main products are various Chinese patent medicines, such as Liushen Pill, Southwest Baiyao (which has been renamed), Pien Tze Huang, etc. The third pharmaceutical factory mainly produces external drugs, such as medical alcohol, iodine wine, hydrogen peroxide and other disinfectants, as well as red syrup, purple syrup, wind oil essence, cool oil, safflower oil and other external drugs. There are also the four pharmaceutical factories that use injections as the main drugs, such as normal saline, medical glucose, vitamin injections, as well as antibiotics and sulfonamides that are currently only used internally.
The same belongs to Xingke Pharmaceutical, and it is a pharmaceutical factory that opened at the same time, and people sell 998 for syphilis all over the world, and they count the money until they have cramps. Although the profits of the third and fourth factories are not as exaggerated as those of the first factory, at least they are not losing money, so I don't know who to find for the fire of the director of the road.
Wen Desi shook his head helplessly, and finally spoke: "Enough, Director Lu Huitian, I already know your difficulties, the loss of the No. 2 Pharmaceutical Factory last year was not the reason for your ineffective work." Now you don't have to complain......"
A pharmaceutical factory that is far ahead of its peers in technology would actually lose money, and to be honest, this is something that even Wen Deji did not expect. Think about the pharmaceutical factories with ace technology in later generations, which one must not be the same as a pig's head.
Many of the formulas of the second pharmaceutical factory are the classics that have been improved for many years in later generations, and they are so good that they don't know where they are, not to mention that the preparation of drugs is based on advanced processes such as low-temperature centrifugal extraction, molecular filtration, and vacuum blending in later generations, which are not comparable to the common "torment method" now.
And these excellent drugs can't be sold, because many doctors don't prescribe these drugs to patients at all, and various pharmacists and pharmacies also refuse to buy them.
According to the intelligence department's investigation after the fact, the reason for this is very unbelievable. One of them is the problem of concept, at that time, doctors, especially famous doctors, most of them were ashamed of using prescriptions, they thought that everyone's prescription should be different, that kind of prescription with fixed ingredients is something only used by quacks, and the medicine that should be freshly decocted is the best.
Not only doctors think so, but many patients think so too. They can't trust the unfamous brand of Xingke Pharmaceutical, let alone the medicine produced by the factory, who knows what the pills and potions are made of? Not to mention that the owner of this pharmaceutical factory is still a "fake foreign devil", and he knows a lot of Chinese medicine.
The second is the issue of interests, the circle of drug trading is very deep, and it is extremely xenophobic. Those pharmacists are not as brainless as doctors, they know very well that Xingke Pharmaceutical's products are very good, but they are afraid that this dinosaur will break into their circle, if everyone will use Xinke's Chinese patent medicine in the future, then their good life will continue? As their next pharmacy, they have deep economic ties with these pharmaceutical companies, so they dare not risk offending these guys to sell Xingke Pharmaceutical's drugs.
There is also the issue of sales strategy, because this Chinese patent medicine was not originally intended to make money, and there were too many things last year, and the senior management of Xingke did not pay attention to this matter at all. The success of 998 of the first pharmaceutical factory is due to the fact that in today's world, as long as this drug that specializes in treating syphilis and does not have too many side effects, it is exclusively operated, and those who do not want to die miserably have to buy 998 obediently, and doctors and pharmaceutical companies cannot and dare not resist. And those Chinese patent medicines are not irreplaceable products, let alone things that will be finished if they are not used, so as soon as doctors and pharmacists boycott them, the game is over.
"Don't be discouraged, if you lose, you will lose, I believe this is only temporary, at most by the end of this year, the market for Chinese patent medicine will improve......" Wen Desi smiled, and did not say too much.
"In addition, Chinese patent medicine does not have to be sold in China, since we don't know the goods in China, we can sell them abroad. As far as I know, many proprietary Chinese medicines should be selling well in foreign countries...... The marketing department should also put more effort into this, and the advertising cannot be ...... saved."
After arranging the matter of Chinese patent medicine, Wen Desi said: "In addition, you can set up a New York branch, Banazal has mentioned many times in advance, we made 350,000 yuan on Wall Street last year, we should set up a branch responsible for the eastern region of the United States......"
For the predators, Wall Street is a place to make a lot of money, and the Zenith Star Consortium, which was accepted as a member of the predators, invested 3ooo in the securities and futures markets last year, and more than doubled by the end of the year, earning 35000000. With such a big interest, Wen Desi felt that it would be better to set up a special department to be responsible. Besides, there are too many things on Banazar's side, and they have complained many times.
"So who are you going to send to be in charge?" asked Gu Xiaolu.
Wen Desi thought for a while and said, "Liu Yang was originally the most suitable, but the Tianjin branch couldn't leave him. Then Lando, anyway, he has been dealing with Morgan and them last year, and he is familiar with ...... "The "gold absorption plan" against the Qing court magnates has reached a critical time, and Liu Yang, as the host, must not be moved.
