Southern Hebei Base Area.

Early January.

Ze County, Material Procurement and Sales Office.

"Penicillin, I'm going to buy penicillin, 10,000 bottles."

"I want 50,000 bottles."

"I want 100,000 bottles of penicillin."

"Insulin, insulin, ten thousand bottles."

"High blood pressure pills, five thousand boxes."

"Chlorpromazine, 50,000 boxes? Price dropped?! I want half a million boxes. ”

"Hypoglycemic drugs, metformin, 10,000 boxes, price dropped? I want 100,000 boxes. ”

Not to mention self-sufficiency in food necessities in the base areas, they can even export them on a large scale.

Dean Liu looked at the huge hospital in front of him and sighed deeply.

50,000 tons of cotton has also met the demand for garment making in the base area, and the common people are more willing to buy cheap and high-quality clothes made by the base garment factory.

As a result, the headquarters issued a new directive to increase investment in drugs in the world market.

Last year, the annual national output value of the devils was less than $12 billion, and the annual military expenditure was only more than $2 billion.

There is no need for the US dollar as foreign exchange at all, and what must be imported is a commodity.

The amount of silver dollars in January is 150 million silver dollars, as well as 10 tons of gold, plus hard monopoly necessities such as advanced medicines, even if the price of silver in the international market falls to worthless, he can still catch the new southern Hebei currency steadily.

If there are not enough goods to meet the consumption level of the base area, then the currency will depreciate uncontrollably.

Outcome.

It also brought in 500,000 tons of timber, 300,000 tons of reinforced concrete, 50,000 tons of cotton, and so on. It meets the needs of the construction of houses, bridges, and fortresses in the base area.

But the total amount is also expected to be around $90 million.

In this day and age, the cost of medicines is almost a dollar a day, and it is still expensive, and not many people can afford it.

As for stable currencies,

At noon, the person in charge of the economy heard the news of the sales office and was speechless in shock.

"But it doesn't seem to work."

Ninety million dollars.

In an hour, it was sold out?

There is absolutely no need for dollars in the base areas.

As soon as the door opened in the morning, businessmen with thick eyebrows, big eyes, unshaven beards, and obvious foreign characteristics rushed to the door, waving the dollars in their hands and demanding the purchase of various medicines.

Even the cheapest drug here, chlorpromazine, for psychiatric disorders, costs five dollars a box in dollar terms, and the effect lasts only a week.

At present, more than half of the world's countries, nay, even the vast majority of countries, do not have a GDP of 90 million US dollars.

Collecting US dollars is the toughest dollar in the world, and it can be used to recruit international technical personnel, import industrial equipment, and so on.

···

Headquarters Hospital.

However, after all, the development of the base area has only been seven months, and the main consumption of the common people is still concentrated in clothing, food, housing, etc., especially housing, which is the bulk of the consumption in the base area, and the Chinese people have a tireless pursuit of housing.

"It's sold out?!"

Although under the persuasion of Dean Liu, the price of civilian drugs was further reduced, such as the anti-manic and antidepressant drug chlorpromazine, as well as hypoglycemic drugs, etc., and the price was greatly reduced.

"Whew..."

Just an hour later, the quota of drug sales for the month was wiped out.

However, because the New Hebei Southern Currency is upside down in the silver dollar, and the medicine must be purchased in the Southern Hebei Dollar, in fact, in the base area, in the Republic of China, the New Hebei Southern Currency is more popular than the US dollar.

At present, the base areas are still making all-out efforts to develop the economy, build roads, repair water conservancy facilities, and open up farmland, and the money bags in the hands of the common people are visibly bulging with the naked eye.

Li Yunlong brought in 500,000 tons of fine grains such as white flour, rice, and cornmeal, 5 million tons of sorghum, millet, buckwheat and other coarse grains, 100,000 tons of various types of meat, and 100,000 tons of canned meat.

January.

In just one hour, the base area earned 90 million US dollars?

"Sure enough, monopoly is huge profits!"

The head of the economy couldn't help but sigh.

Other words

Li Yunlong has brought in more medicines, not only has the total amount almost tripled, but while fully meeting the needs of the people in the base areas, there is still a large amount of surplus, and there are more than a dozen new medicines.

But the buyer also asked for 500,000 boxes, and he paid the full amount in one go.

The head of the economy pouted.

down to one-tenth of its original size.

With money, there is spending power.

January

After more than half a year of development, today's headquarters hospital, in order to prevent devils from sabotage and bombing, although the building is inconspicuous, but the scale has reached the world's top level.

As for the technology,

Absolute number one in the world.

Li Yunlong's mysterious friend helped the Independent Regiment to set up a medical camp to train 500 doctors and impart medical techniques from the advanced world for more than ten or twenty years.

The equipment given is also the first of the world for more than ten years and twenty years.

To this end,

The Taihang base area also opened the Taihang Medical College to cultivate talents by itself.

Dean Liu and dozens of medical experts in the base area also compiled a simple medical manual to promote barefoot doctors to the base area, and with the addition of sufficient medicines, the medical level of the base area has almost skyrocketed.

The infant mortality rate has been reduced from more than 30 per cent to less than 5 per cent.

And it's decreasing.

"Lao Liu."

In a trance, Zhang Wanhe in front of him woke Dean Liu from his trance.

"Lao Zhang."

Dean Liu continued to walk along the mountain road.

As the base area also has an air force and has enough capacity to defend its own sky, the headquarters hospital is also planning to expand and build new inpatient buildings, operating rooms, and other facilities to further improve the medical level.

Zhang Wanhe is here to stop this.

He is the head of the construction department of the Taihang Base Industrial Zone.

···

meanwhile

It is also within the headquarters hospital,

An ordinary doctor, looking at the documents in front of him,

The document is about the decision to reduce the psychotropic drug chlorpromazine, the hypoglycemic drug metformin and other drugs from $100 a box to $5 a box, a price reduction of 20 times, and there is no limit to purchase.

Among them, there are plans to further promote the price reduction of commonly demanded drugs such as chlorpromazine, and prepare to reduce the price to a box of one dollar or even lower, so as to strive for the terminal price, so that most people can afford to consume it.

His eyes were a little dazed.

As a graduate of Tokyo Medical College, although he was an elite Japanese spy, medically, he never fell behind.

Mental illness is currently the most underunderstood disease in the medical community.

Not one of them.

There are even ways to treat mental illness by destroying the anterior lobe tissue of the brain abroad.

People often think that mental illness is a disease of wealth, and that only when the standard of living has risen, the money in hand, and the leisure to think about other things will make the disease sick.

But in fact, a poor and difficult life is also a huge cause of mental illness that cannot be ignored.

Even the biggest triggers.

What a mental pressure it is to work all day long, to see no hope in life, and to have to give up the treatment of a sick family member because of poverty, thus losing your life.

Therefore, the current prevalence of mental illness is extremely high.

People think that mental illness is a disease of wealth, but it is nothing more than a survivor effect, who can see the mental condition of the poor at the bottom?

These people commit suicide, who cares?

And now...

The Eighth Route Army saw it!

And began to help in action.

Although the price of drugs used by high-level capitalists starts at $100 with the monopoly of advanced drugs as a sharp weapon, the price of drugs that ordinary people need is reduced as much as possible.

In the words of Dean Liu, who promoted this matter, although medicine can also be used as a weapon, try not to harm civilians, we can be cruel to invaders, war starters, war supporters, but not to innocent people.

As a medical student, he had little interest in the locust and bushido, and what attracted him to fight for the empire was the Asians themselves in the mouth of the locust, building the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and achieving prosperity for all.

The slogan of the empire is shouted loudly, but the action, at the moment, is not at all, and the explanation of the empire is that the current problems must be solved first.

And the Eighth Route Army,

Since October, when he came in and went into hiding, no one in the base area has starved to death.

In the empire itself, many people die of starvation every year.

Almost all the ordinary people in the base areas can be treated in a timely manner, and according to his personal statistics, if ordinary civilians are also included, the infant mortality rate in the Taihang base area is less than 4 percent.

It's even lower than Imperial Tokyo, and it's a lot lower.

"Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity?"

With a sigh, he walked to the hospital security department.

At this moment, he agreed with one sentence.

There is no absolute loyalty, but the price of betrayal is not enough.

He doesn't care about money,

But dreams, he could not refuse.

···

Early January.

United States.

"George Galvin."

The Minister of Finance called out the man's name with some headache.

As the first American merchant to trade with a base, George Galvin amassed a fortune and is now worth more than $50 million.

thereupon

Began to expand its political influence in the United States.

And the means of this person, the choice is medicine.

It is said that everyone in the United States should have access to high-quality penicillin and high-quality medicines, so that everyone has the right to enjoy health.

"Today, the price of imported penicillin has dropped to $220 a bottle for five million units a bottle."

The Minister of Medical Affairs sighed:

"Moreover, George Galvin also said that the price of penicillin should be hit below $100, and the goal is $50 a bottle."

"The price is too low."

Although the price of penicillin has been reduced, it is beneficial to domestic medical treatment, but ·· It was a fatal blow to the fledgling penicillin industry.

"Unless the imported 5 million units of penicillin are maintained at more than $120 a bottle, it will be difficult for China to organize funds to conquer the penicillin process."

The Minister of Medical Affairs continued.

As a commercial country, few people will do things that are not profitable, even if the government takes the lead.

"I see."

The Minister of Finance doesn't care much about that.

His headache is,

This George Galvin united several state governments with high-quality penicillin at a low price, as well as chlorpromazine and other drugs at an ultra-low price, only five dollars a box.

As a result, the federal government has to pass the import qualification of these drugs,

There is no way to even collect customs duties. (End of chapter)
