Chapter 43: The Qin Family's Wealth

Qin Di came to the Institute of Medicine and listened to the work report of the people below.

After several years of research, vitamins have made a breakthrough.

He went out of his house and wrote several papers in a row, and at the same time applied for relevant patents.

Soon, these papers were published in core journals in the United States and the United Kingdom, science in the United States has a "synthetic method of vitamin C", and the New England Journal of Medicine has many papers such as "vitamin C ascorbic acid", "vitamin C anti-aging", "vitamin C prevents colds" and so on.

These papers were all written by Qin Di and then published in the names of Zhu Wan and Qin Ling.

There are several artificial synthesis methods of vitamin C, the most primitive method is called the "Leyss method", which was published by the German Reichstein in 1933.

Although Qin Di had the impression that the vitamins of later generations were overwhelming, and he did not expect vitamin C to make a lot of money, he underestimated people's enthusiasm for maintaining a healthy body, as well as various superstitions about vitamins, and later made a lot of money from the license fee alone.

So far, the Qin family's independently operated medical research institute has made very dazzling achievements, which can be regarded as a complete merit. As for whether streptomycin or other vitamins can be studied later, Qin Di does not have too high requirements.

He has already won his first pot of gold and does not want to win more Nobel Prizes. China's scientific research foundation is too weak, and the previous breakthrough in sulfonamides and penicillin is already a move against the sky! If the Qin family wins a few more Nobel Prizes, it may not be a good thing for backward China.

Despite this, the Qin family's investment in the research institute has not decreased, and they still employ hundreds of people and insist on doing various experiments. However, in these studies, because Qin Di is reluctant to open the golden finger again, it is difficult to produce greater results.

At the same time, the threat of war was rising due to political turmoil, so Qin Di began to set up more pharmaceutical factories.

He chose three sites, one in Chongqing, one in Xi'an, and one in Kunming. In his plan, these factories mainly produced sulfonamides and aspirin. The production of penicillin is still concentrated in the magic capital, because it involves the control of strains, and if it is scattered all over the place, it is easy to be stolen by others.

In this regard, Qin Hancheng was very puzzled and asked: "Why do you want to build so many branch factories? And all of them are in the inland area, which is too far away from the magic capital! ”

Qin Di sighed lightly: "The war is about to start, so we can't help but take precautions." ”

"Fighting? Who fights whom?"

"It's hard to put into words! I'll find out in a few years. ”

Qin Hancheng didn't stop it, because in his opinion, the Qin family made too much money, and they couldn't spend it in ten lifetimes!

Qin Di felt that the Qin family was only well-off, and it was not a big deal, because in 1925, the purchasing power parity of China's GDP was about 250 billion US dollars, and all the funds of the Qin family added up to 40 million US dollars, which is less than 2/10,000 of the entire country's GDP, and in 2020, let alone catching up with Ma Yun, I am afraid that I will not even be able to enter the top 30 in the country!

In 2020, Jack Ma has $19.5 billion in his name, divided by $14 trillion in GDP, which is equivalent to 14/10,000! Liu Qiangdong, the tenth richest man in China, has a net worth of $7.1 billion, which is also equivalent to 5/10,000 of GDP!

In fact, for Qin Di, money and reputation do not mean much. He came to this era inexplicably, and wanted to make some contributions to China, which was suffering deeply, but he was constrained by heaven and couldn't do many things, so he could only accumulate some money and quietly give back to the society.

He set up branches in Chongqing, Xi'an and Kunming, all of which were just small backups for a rainy day, and the scale was not large.

He doesn't need to do it himself, as long as he has the funds, he doesn't have to worry about finding a manager.

Qin Di had only lived at home for a few days, and soon found that her sister Qin Yue was relatively close to Zhuo Qingqiu, and although she did not participate in the workers' strike, she wrote several articles of support in the "Hot Blood Daily", using the pen name "Xinyue".

In this regard, Qin Di felt a little distressed and headache.

It was not that he did not support the revolution. In his first life, he was also a member of the Great Red Party, and he really swore an oath in Nanhu! Although he had gone through thousands of years of reincarnation, he had not forgotten his original oath, but he couldn't bear to see his sister take risks.

In his eyes, Qin Yue was still an innocent girl who couldn't withstand the wind and waves. He would rather do things quietly alone than have his family sacrifice for it.

He wanted to persuade Qin Yue not to get too close to Zhuo Qingqiu. But he also knew that his sister was too stubborn, and even a little rebellious, and the more she didn't let her go, she might want to go.

On the afternoon of July 20, Zhuo Qingqiu followed Qin Yue and swaggered to the Qin Mansion.

From a distance, Qin Di heard her sister whisper: "At this time, my parents and my sister are not at home, probably only my brother is there." My brother was very good to me, but he was too old-fashioned and forbade me to join the revolution or the party...... Don't be afraid of him, he can't control my ......"

Then came Zhuo Qingqiu's voice: "Hehe, I have traveled from south to north, experienced many things, and I haven't met anyone who scares me." ”

The two of them came to the door and were about to open it, when suddenly the door opened.

Qin Di stood inside the gate, his eyes as deep as water, and looked at the two of them quietly.

Qin Yuejiao said with a smile: "Brother, I brought Mr. Zhuo to my house to pick up the poems. I wrote a few poems the other day, and he said he wanted to get a sneak peek. ”

Qin Di said lightly: "Please come in." Mr. Zhuo, I'd like to talk to you individually, okay?"

Zhuo Qingqiu nodded: "Okay, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Qin Yue looked at Qin Di in surprise, glanced back at Zhuo Qingqiu, and said, "I'll go upstairs to find the manuscript of the poem, and I'll come down in a while." ”

Qin Di watched his sister go upstairs, and then said in a low voice, "Mr. Zhuo, please sit down." Mr. Jiuwen is an outstanding person, and I admire him from the bottom of my heart. But I won't turn around when I speak, and I want to persuade you to stay away from my sister. ”

Zhuo Qingqiu smiled, looked at Qin Di and said, "Mr. Qin, you misunderstood, I have no ill intentions towards Sister Ling. ”

Qin Di said coldly: "Mr. Zhuo, I only said three points, please think carefully." ”

"Speak, please. Zhuo Qingqiu didn't seem to care.

Qin Di took a deep breath and said, "The first point is that the revolution will kill people. Do you want to watch someone you like die in front of you?"

Zhuo Qingqiu's eyes widened, and he said, "It may not be dead, Mr. Qin, you are too worried." ”

At this time, it was still in the period of cooperation between the two parties, so Zhuo Qingqiu couldn't imagine what would happen later.

Qin Di pricked up two fingers and said in a cold tone: "At most, two years, you will be able to see the bloody scene!"

Zhuo Qingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "In order to save China, which is suffering deeply, even if there is a sacrifice, it will not hesitate." ”

"But I don't want to see my sister die!"

"How could it be? She's not a member of the Red Party. ”
