Don't look at moving to the United States to live, but the meals of the Lu family and the Han family are still the same as before, but there are not so many types, after all, the eating habits of the two countries are different.

"Since Manyin is pregnant, it is definitely much better to take care of her at home than to hire someone to take care of her in a mountain city, so that she can return to China in at least two years, so I came to the United States to arrange the future industrial layout, so as not to panic when she has nothing to do at home, and she can also help me." Han Lin said.

"Listen to you, you also plan to do business with the United States?" Lu Teng asked with interest.

"My partner in the United States, Perez, and I have always had a pharmaceutical business, and I sent him a telegram before I came, and I will meet with him tomorrow to sit down and talk about starting a pharmaceutical company, and let Manyin be my representative and also exercise." Han Lin said with a smile.

"Pharmaceutical companies? Or the production of sulfonamides? Lu Manyin asked.

"The drug I want to develop this time is an antibiotic, called penicillin, which is a drug for the treatment of infection, and it has an immediate effect, which not only meets the needs of the current war, but will last for many years, as long as we have the advantage, we will have a guarantee for this life." Han Lin said.

"What about us? You also gave us some advice on the next development in the United States, and after so many years of trading, it is not as much money as you make selling stockings. Han Li said with a smile.

Han Lin's sale of stockings is a fairly classic business case, originally the two families didn't look at it much, how much money can be made by selling socks? But then the sales of stockings in the United States were booming, and everyone was stunned, and more than four million pairs were sold in one day, what kind of concept is this?

"The Han family and the Lu family want to use the war to focus on food and munitions industries, which are rigid industries, the US government's army is still very luxurious, and the military spending is unusually sufficient, I will use the relationship with the US Naval Intelligence Agency to strive for us to become a supplier to the US Navy, of course, the company needs to use Perez as a name and give him a part of the shares, so as to avoid a lot of trouble."

"Then there's the news of the stock market, the U.S. stock market has been falling, I know this, you just need to listen to my news and operate, while making money while acquiring shares in some companies, you can have sustainable and stable income in the future, but you have to go to New York, Los Angeles has no such conditions." Han Lin said.

talked about it until late at night, and Han Lin returned to the Han family's mansion, and Lu Manyin naturally followed.

The day after coming to Los Angeles, Perez came to visit his home, he and Han Lin are old friends, and the people of the Han family are becoming more and more familiar, without any sense of restraint.

"We're going to develop penicillin? Tell me, how exactly do you want to do this? Perez asked with interest.

He trusts Han Lin's vision and judgment very much, because the huge benefits brought by sulfonamides are still continuing, and the annual income is considerable. Especially the matter of stockings, he felt a little regretful, and he should not question Han Lin's vision, the women's products he looked down on brought amazing profits, and Han Lin could earn millions of dollars from the sales of DuPont.

Since Han Lin wants to develop penicillin, thinking that this antibiotic drug can make huge profits in the war, then Han Lin must have a way to implement this matter, and it is impossible to miss the opportunity again this time.

Perez is also thinking about the future, his ocean-going trade is about to be interrupted by the war, he also needs new sources of money, and the acquisition of wealth as a businessman can no longer satisfy his pursuit, and he plans to develop into politics and run for the Senate.

"The research and development of penicillin comes from the paper of the British bacteriologist Fleming in 1928, and was subsequently successfully developed by the pathologist Flory and biochemist Qian En of the University of Oxford.

"It's too late for us to start, but it's not too late, the key is the cultivation of penicillin strains, I got some top-secret information, as long as there are professionals who continue to work hard, we can quickly complete this scientific research, the best way is to be able to get penicillin strains and new technologies."

"It's still the old way, I need you to find relevant technicians, production sites and equipment, I will negotiate with the US Navy, they will also be very interested in this, the war is coming, penicillin can effectively treat infection, I hope to use their power to help us get penicillin strains."

"There is no monopoly on this technology, and there are already chemists in China to conduct research and development, and it is a matter of time before a breakthrough is made, and what we want is speed, if we can cooperate with other pharmaceutical companies, it is also a fast and effective way, but we will have to share part of our profits." Han Lin said.

He has seen the introduction of information about penicillin during the Anti-Japanese War, mainly the process of developing penicillin by Chinese microbiologists, and he remembers several key points very clearly, for professional and technical personnel, these important knowledge points can greatly shorten the time of research and development.

China just does not have the conditions for large-scale production of penicillin, in fact, penicillin will be successfully developed next year, the reason for the price ratio is that the production is too small, and it is completely necessary to import, he came to the United States this time, and also hopes to order some machinery and equipment to complete the production of penicillin in China.

"Will we be able to do mass production next year?" Perez asked.

"It's very unlikely, and you don't have unrealistic illusions, at least two years may be able to do this, and a month early is a huge victory." Han Lin shook his head and said.

I also want to reach mass production next year, how many lives will this save? The production of penicillin and the realization of mass production are two concepts, and there is no shortcut to the development of technology.

"What we lack is technology and researchers, as for equipment and space, this is not a problem, since we already have the technology in this area, then we will do it simultaneously, I am responsible for recruiting personnel including workers, purchasing equipment and leasing space, and you are responsible for the technical aspects." Perez was decisive.

He is a capitalist, and his goal is to maximize profits, and since there is a way to achieve his goals, he is not willing to share profits with others.

"I need to order a batch of culture utensils and chemical dryers, and contact ships to transport them to the pharmaceutical factory in Chuncheng through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and I will set up a research institute in Chuncheng, and after the technological breakthrough here, the pharmaceutical factory in Chuncheng will quickly put into experimental and mass production, and if necessary, it will also have to be transported from the United States to China, and there will be a connection time." Han Lin said.

Next, the two discussed in detail the implementation plan of the pharmaceutical company, considering that China is also a big market for penicillin in the future, Perez also hopes to occupy a proportion of the sales profits from the Chinese market, so this time, he occupies 40% of the shares of the company in the United States, and at the same time, his share in China has 30%, but he came forward to register the company.

Han Lin wants to rely on Perez's connections in the United States to protect his own industry, and the company set up by the Americans, with the participation of Chinese, this is a reasonable operation, and will not be taken out by some people to talk about things, if the Chinese control the production of penicillin, it is estimated that the problem will be big.

The cooperation between the two is a win-win model.
