On December 5th, Qin Yue took a thick stack of manuscripts and came to see Qin Di: "Brother, this is the book I wrote, you can help me see if there is anything to revise." ”

Qin Di picked up the manuscript and saw the word "Dawn" written on the cover.

Open it and take a closer look, it is a book, describing a group of college students in Shenyang, who were caught and tortured by the Japanese, most of them were killed, one of them was a pair of young men and women escaped, and the man joined the anti-Japanese coalition army and was unfortunately killed...... The woman fled to Guannei, and then devoted herself to the anti-Japanese drama, and was threatened by the spies, so she had to move south from Beiping, and when she passed through Jinan, she was almost insulted by the Japanese soldiers......

The writing is well written, and the scene is vivid.

Qin Di asked, "Ah Yue, how do you know these things?"

Qin Yue said: "Wang Shu helped me find some people, I talked to the young people who escaped from the Northeast to understand their deep feelings. ”

Qin Di said: "The part about the Anti-United Nations is flawed, white mountains and black water, lack of food and medicine, much more difficult than what you wrote...... I'll fix this part for you......"

"Brother, how do you know about the Anti-Alliance?"

"I ......"

Qin Di thought to himself: "I watched too many movies in my previous life!"

At this time, he suddenly remembered ***, this singing and crying general, actually died tragically at the hands of many traitors!

He couldn't help but clench his fists and thought to himself: "It's still early at this time, in a few years, I'll go to the northeast! See if I can meet General Yang, although I may not be able to save him, but I can kill those traitors." ”

It took Qin Di two days to revise "Dawn" and add fresh content, especially the deep-seated Sino-Japanese contradictions and the Japanese ambition to annex China, and eliminated many forbidden places, so that it would be easier to publish.

During the Republican period, the government confiscated a large number of banned books every year. If it is an ordinary author, changing a pen name can also protect himself, but Qin Yue obviously has no idea of anonymity.

Soon after, this "Dawn" was published, which was widely praised in the literary circles, and was adapted into a play by Wang Shu and performed in many theaters, calling on the people to rise up against Japan. Later, it was adapted into a movie, which had a far-reaching impact. Qin Yue became a left-leaning writer.

Then another week passed, and Qin Di suddenly got good news.

Under the continuous attention of Zhu Wan and Qin Ling, the "Medical Research Institute", which has been merged into the "Ci'an Higher Medical College", and after years of continuous efforts by scientific researchers, there has finally been a breakthrough and a new antibiotic has been discovered.

Qin Di hurriedly went over to check the experimental records, and finally named it "oxytetracycline".

He also found that in this major research, there was a person who played an important role, this person named "Zhang Weishen", graduated from Tsinghua University in 1932, and immediately applied for the medical research institute.

"Zhang is Shen, Zhang is Shen...... How does this name sound familiar?"

Qin Di silently recited a few words in his heart, and finally suddenly woke up: "I didn't expect that there is such a bull man in my research institute! He is the founder of the antibiotic cause after the founding of the People's Republic of China! As the saying goes, gold always shines, and this sentence is not wrong." ”

He discussed with his mother Zhu Wan and his sister Qin Ling and decided to give this person part of the right of authorship, but the patent still belongs to the Qin family.

This time, Zhu Wan gave up signing the paper, because she is a four-time Nobel Prize winner, and if she wins it again, she will be struck by lightning!

Comparatively speaking, Qin Ling only won three awards, and she can rush again, so she is the first author, and Zhang Weishen is the second author.

Qin Di gave Zhang Weishen 200,000 oceans as a reward, and at the same time, the two parties signed an agreement that the Qin family would monopolize the patent rights and avoid potential disputes in the future.

Zhang Weishen readily agreed, because the two parties had an agreement, and according to the rules, he didn't even have the right to sign. Such a great invention, as long as it can be signed, will carp leap into the dragon gate and become a famous great scientist.

Subsequently, Qin Di personally wrote a long article: "The discovery, pharmacological effects and molecular structure of oxytetracycline." ”

The molecular structure was purely drawn by him from memory, and if Qin Ling and Zhang Weishen were alone, they would not be able to figure it out at all.

Zhang Weishen couldn't help but be stunned after reading the article: "Mr. Qin, how do you know that the molecular formula of oxytetracycline is like this? There are 22 carbon atoms, 24 hydrogen atoms, 2 nitrogen atoms, and 9 oxygen atoms!

Qin Di said with a smile: "Don't worry, after the article is published, there will naturally be other scientists to help us verify it." ”

"This is too unrigorous!Mr. Qin, can it be done?"

"Hehe, science needs to be bold and cautious. Look, I wrote it on the paper, it's just speculation......"

Anyway, the papers were sent out, and the patent applications began to be in full swing.

Qin Di doesn't need to go out on his own, as long as he sends a telegram to Old John and his personal lawyer in New York, someone will naturally help him deal with it.

Two months later, the paper was published in the journal Science, and although it attracted attention in the medical community, it did not make much noise in society, after all, it was not the first antibiotic, and there were already sulfonamides, penicillin, and streptomycin.

However, the discovery of oxytetracycline has added new impetus to Cathay Pacific Pharmaceuticals and Ivy Pharmaceuticals, especially the latter, which is expected to become a well-known pharmaceutical company in the United States.

Soon after, John Sr.'s son, Archer, sent a telegram saying that four of the world's top 10 pharmaceutical companies had sent takeover offers, and Johnson & Johnson was willing to pay $58 million to buy Ivy Ivy Pharmaceuticals in full.

Qin Di called back: "Daydreaming!" flatly rejected the other party's request.

In addition to sulfonamides and penicillin, which are licensed around the world, streptomycin is not licensed to other companies, and oxytetracycline will not be authorized additionally.

In the past two years, part of the money earned by Ivy Pharmaceutical was withdrawn by Qin Di and invested in "Blue Sky Food" to buy grain, and then sent to Qin's grain store for reserve, so the company's capital is not very rich.

You know, in the 21st century, the development of each new drug costs more than $1 billion, and many small companies rely on one drug to sell at a sky-high price. As for the company's mergers and acquisitions, if it is less than $1 billion, it is a loss-making transaction.

During the Republic of China, the United States already had the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but its approval of drugs was far less stringent than later, and new drugs such as streptomycin and oxytetracycline were easy to pass clinical verification because of their very significant efficacy.
