Start North America 1400: nation building

Chapter 121 [120] Planning ahead

The balance has accelerated for several months, and the current world is barely coming to the end of February.

Greystone Island.

Xue Nu was writing the test paper, Zhou Li'an received a call from Barbara, and learned that several factories and workshops had merged with the Balanced Group.

As far as normal work speed is concerned, it is already considered efficient.

Reluctantly, the flow speed of the two time and space is uneven, and the current world obviously slows down the rhythm.

"We are in contact with two mining machinery and equipment manufacturers and power generation equipment manufacturers. The preliminary investigation and resource integration may take a month, and the actual completion of the merger may take until the next quarter."

Zhou Li'an felt helpless in his heart.

It takes three months in the blink of an eye on Balanced, but in the present world, it will take until April to get results, and then to place an equipment order, it will be impossible to get it done in less than ten days and half a month.

Fortunately, at this stage, the balanced iron cavalry swept across the mainland, and the migration of various ministries was also an extremely long process.

All Zhou Li'an can do is to plan ahead and let the resources of this world catch up as much as possible.

Plan ahead instead of rushing to place an order while waiting for demand.

"Quickly move."

"In addition, do the two pharmaceutical companies under Equilibrium have vaccine production capacity?"

The official shareholding is balanced, and two pharmaceutical companies and one aviation equipment processing factory have been merged.

Of course, it is impossible for Lao Mo to give money so kindly.

The three companies are in a half-dead state, barely operating, and the merger into the equilibrium is actually to revitalize the factory, ensure employment, and prevent the loss of capital from bankruptcy.

In short, I found a taker.

When they agreed to this move at the beginning, Zhou Li'an and Cajero both played the idea of ​​"saving face" for the official.

The latter wanted a legal identity to go ashore in vain, and the official method just grasped Cajero's seven inches, making him unable to refuse.

But for Zhou Li'an, these three companies are playing in his hands.

Take advantage of the opportunity to get admission tickets for the pharmaceutical and aviation equipment industries.

It doesn't matter if the company is small and low-level, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can always grow step by step, so as to get the technical resources you want.

Therefore, Zhou Li'an was not surprised when Barbara gave a negative answer.

"They don't have the processing technology for biomedicine, they are just assembly factories for medical equipment..."

Zhou Li'an said: "Inject capital, I have a large number of orders for medicine and vaccines, I don't want to let others do this business."

Barbara was a little dazed when she heard that, "Are you going to open a new production line for an order?"

The implication is that a pot of dumplings was made for this bottle of vinegar...Boss, are you sure that the profit from your order can allow the group to recover the cost of capital injection?

"The first batch of orders is 100 million doses of various virus prevention vaccines, including basic vaccines such as chickenpox, hepatitis B, and diphtheria..."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Li'an added, "No X crown."

Equilibrium Time and Space has its own seat, who dares to play virus warfare?As long as there is no research, there is no flooding!
Under the balance, there is nothing left of America.

Barbara gasped, "Boss, that means the order volume is tens of millions of doses?"

"No." Zhou Li'an smiled lightly, "The first batch of tens of millions of doses, this is just the first batch!"

"You don't have to worry about where you go, I naturally have channels to digest."

Barbara was silent for a moment, then she didn't go into the details, but said: "If this is the case, the new production line may need to sign a purchase intention order, after all, it is a targeted production..."

Zhou Li'an said indifferently: "Sign it, you help me set up a new company as the purchaser."

"..." Barbara was speechless.

Who the hell knows what the boss is doing again?

Where can such a large dose of vaccine be digested?
It is impossible to really donate to poverty alleviation in Africa.

then.

Not long after the two hung up, Salvador called, "Mr. Zhou, are you free tonight? Mr. Cayero invited you to dinner."

Needless to say, Barbara should have already informed Jonah and David Liang, and when the two proposed a new production line plan, Cajero was naturally alarmed.

"Then see you tonight." Zhou Li'an agreed decisively.

7 pm.

Leaving Xue Nu at home alone, Zhou Li'an went to the banquet.

The security system of Greystone Island is sound, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Xue Nu. Furthermore, even if Cajero is given some courage, he would not dare to send someone uninvited.

Arrive at the mansion on Caye Robben Island.

After sitting down with warm greetings, they went straight to the point, and what they were talking about was the vaccine production line.

Barbara is unaware of her boss' 'scary background'.

Before waiting for the dinner in the afternoon, Cajero completed his brain supplement——

"So, Mr. Zhou, the sales channel of our new production line is the East?"

The first batch of orders is tens of millions, where else can we digest them?
Basic vaccines are just needed. Except for those remote areas in Africa, most countries in the world have designated many basic vaccines as citizens’ medical benefits and free injections.

In Cajero's view, the purpose of this move is to deliver orders, revitalize the Balanced Group, make it stronger and bigger step by step, and penetrate into Mexico.

Zhou Li'an smiled, with a mysterious expression of "everyone knows it well".

Cayero didn't ask any more questions.

After the dinner party, it seemed that nothing was discussed, but in fact, all it takes is Zhou Li'an's acquiescence, and everything will be fine.

In most people's minds, vaccines are expensive, which is also true, but the expensive component lies in the payment of knowledge.

In the 50s, for example, the domestic self-developed smallpox vaccine was difficult, and foreign countries had already mastered mature sterile inactivated vaccines. However, to popularize injections on a large scale in China, the purchase of foreign exchange was astronomical.

Therefore, in that era, domestic vaccines contained bacteria, but it was legal...

Therefore, it is understandable in terms of business and business that the knowledge payment invested in the previous research is included in it.

But up to now, the technical threshold for the basic vaccine that Zhou Li'an wants is very low.

Still presented with a simple example.

DPT vaccine in China belongs to free citizen medical care, but when injecting babies, individual hospitals will give double choices...

Domestic = free.

Import = 100 yuan per dose.

As a parent, of course, you will not save that 100 yuan for your children, and you will only think about the benefits of being expensive, and spend more money to buy a psychological comfort.

And for the hospital...

You taste, you taste carefully.

In fact, DPT vaccine technology has long been very mature.

Under the condition that the domestic policy does not allow the price to be raised, the cost of a vaccine with the same technology and level as imported vaccines is only about 4 yuan;
The profit is minuscule, and the money has a medical financial burden.

But even so, the sales volume is still far inferior to the imported DPT with a dose of 100 yuan.

As a result, the domestic manufacturers of the vaccine are only in single digits.

Where does this make sense?
Equilibrium Group introduced production line technology in order to avoid paying for the knowledge of leading pharmaceutical companies. The threshold for basic vaccine technology has been leveled, so why give money to foreign devils?
You know, calculated based on the balanced pre-vaccination population base...

Nearly one million aborigines in North America are about to submit to Balance.

This is the first order for tens of millions of doses of various vaccines.

In the future, there will be tens of millions of people in South America, and the number of vaccine orders needed will be hundreds of millions of doses. If you really want to purchase from other companies, the money spent will definitely be astronomical.

Now, with balanced self-production and self-sale, and the profit dividend of Zhou Li'an, the major shareholder, as a discount to offset, the cost price can be compressed to the extreme.

But even if the vaccine production line is launched, there is still a problem...

Smallpox vaccine could not be produced.

This virus was the deadliest in the balanced time and space of the 15th century.

At the end of the 20th century, smallpox was declared completely extinct, and countries destroyed smallpox vaccines to prevent the virus from spreading again.

However, there are always some unscrupulous people who have to be reserved and store smallpox virus strains on the grounds of scientific research.

Of course, when all countries see this situation, they will keep their hands behind their backs.

Related conspiracy theories aside...

The real problem before us is that it is impossible to produce smallpox vaccines in this world. First, there is no source of virus samples. Second, it is impossible for any country or region to allow manufacturers to produce smallpox inactivated vaccines "without reason".

Afraid of re-spread, and then various mutations.

So what Zhou Li'an can expect now is balanced development and rapid development.

It is necessary to reach the level of self-made vaccines before the colonists bring the smallpox virus to the continent.

We also need to find a way to travel to Europe to retrieve virus samples and make vaccines.

From the perspective of divergent thinking, this is not as simple as the development of the medical industry, but also involves the progress of the navigation industry.

Before the enemy arrives, I will go first.

Of course, smallpox was not only found in Europe, and Ming Dynasty was also suffering from it at the same time.

"So, do you want to contact the compatriots of Ming Dynasty first, and spread the supreme doctrine of balance?"

"North America and Ming Dynasty are both blooming?"

"Let's give the Europeans a set of fried surprises!!"

Today's Sanbao eunuch is world-leading in navigation technology. After him, navigation technology has passed down the generations, and it was regained by Zheng Zhilong at the end of Ming Dynasty...

This old man is the real "One Piece".

At one time, the fleet of the Dutch East India Company was beaten out of shit, and there was also a Western Christian name: Nicholas Gaspard.

However, there were still more than two hundred years before he was born.

Considering that the colonists were about to land in North America at the end of the 15th century, Zhou Li'an had no choice but to rewrite history.

Otherwise, the balance foundation has just been stabilized, and the smallpox spreads, it will really hurt the vitality.

Only pre-emptive strikes.

Zhou Li'an returned to Huishi Island full of ambitions and dominance, and then saw Xue Nu frowning and writing the test paper...

Hey, the progress of scientific laws has a long way to go.

"Okay, stop for a second, today we're going to talk about biology, fertilizing eggs..."

Snow girl is very happy.

She knows that there are experiments to be done in biology and chemistry, and the master created a lot of experimental equipment and placed them in another room.

"Master, master, is learning to receive X eggs an experiment?"

It takes a lot of energy to do this experiment.

"Learn the content of the book first, and don't master the posture. Experiments or something... Well, another day."

……

Equilibrium 6 years, June 3.

15 days to migrate.

5 people finally entered the territory of Utah smoothly, traveling an average of about 30 kilometers a day. There was an army of iron cavalry in front of them to guide the direction, set road signs, and leave supplies to harvest, otherwise the speed would only be slower.

After arriving in Utah, the speed of travel began to slow down significantly.

In Area 3 Arizona, there are Hohokan guides who are familiar with the roads. When in Area 4 Utah, cow dung is needed to re-locate the sextant and lay out the conquest route.

They are now at the southernmost tip of Utah, and it is impossible to let the surrounding tribes ignore them. Otherwise, it will take time to lead the migration team to the "Great Salt Lake Area" and turn back.

This allowed the number of migratory teams to start increasing.

On the way of migration, there are many difficulties.

Although there is no need to worry about food, the economic level of each ministry is different. Even if there are 3 Hohokan people, not everyone has enough warm clothes.

They walked all the way, collecting furs to keep out the cold.

The Hohokan people have mastered the calendar and know that the weather is already warm at this time in previous years, but in recent years the weather has been extremely abnormal and extremely cold.

3 month 27 day.

The army was stationed and repaired, and Niu Shi led a few cavalry back to the rear to check the situation of the migrating team.

These days, he did not let go of his learning rhythm. When he met the elders of the Hohokan people, he was already able to give a brief greeting in their language.

On the other hand, those Hohokan guard students who followed were still reciting the phonetic alphabet song for nearly a month, as stupid as elm.

Seeing the misery everywhere in the migrating team, he didn't feel any pity in his heart, but a sense of rejoicing instead.

Because, as predicted by our Lord, the temperature will continue to drop in the next hundred years.

Every part of the land is barren, and even the most powerful tribes will perish due to food shortages.

Take the Hohokan people as an example, if there is no migration this time and surrender to the balance, our Lord has predicted that within 40 years, they will be annihilated.

And counting down the prosperity of the Great Lakes region in the northeast corner of the Great Atlas...

Ha ha ha.

Civil wars among various ministries scrambled to compete for food, the winners remained, and the losers fled to the south in search of a way out.

Bull Shit came to the elders of the Hohokan people, and said nothing about their difficult journey, but only told them a crueler future, "The severe cold is just the beginning, and the real test will last for a hundred years..."

"Winter is coming!!"

"If there is no my lord, after the end of winter, there will be evil demons from the other side of the ocean landing on this land, making us slaves, and finally exterminating our descendants."

Bullshit talks and draws, showing pictures one by one, and with sign language and the short sentences he masters, he reveals the secrets of the future.

This is a shitty world.

When they knew that this was a prophecy from the true God, they panicked at first, and after they calmed down, they no longer focused on the current suffering, but felt like cow dung, feeling lucky——

"God is above! The messengers of the gods can rest assured that we must try our best to guide the tribal people to turn their hearts to the true God, surrender to His knees, and dedicate our piety so that the light of the gods can shine, bring peace, and avoid disasters! "

The two sides communicated and got better.

Although it took a bit of trouble, but now... Bull Shit has a little helper by his side.

In the past 3 months, Xiaohua has made rapid progress in language learning because she has the motivation to learn.

She listened to her mother's words, and if she wanted to follow the big brother who was good to her, she had to pay something.

Maybe she didn't understand the reason, but she did it by herself.

night.

Xiao Hua's mother brought hot milk, which surprised Cow Shit.

Before he could ask, Xiao Hua explained, "Yes, patriarch, send it off, mother."

Ok?
Bullshit has a suspicious expression.

As an indigenous woman, Xiaohua's mother is not so twitchy. She generously expressed in sign language, "I will be your second mother."

Bullshit suddenly realized, and nodded in agreement.

Father's move is also to increase imports for balance, which is a matter of honor!

After my lord hears about it, he will definitely praise it! !
Niu Shi felt that when the expedition was successful, he would get married as soon as possible. It would be best to follow his father's good deeds and marry Duoduo's wife.

Had dinner.

Niushi ordered the Hohokan people to "please" come to the huge "My Lord's True Body God Statue" and tell everyone, "I want to speak to the gods, you can't wait to make noise, and you are blaspheming the Lord's true God!"

Xiao Hua understood it, and then translated, "Brother Bullshit, I want to talk to Uncle God, you guys, shut up."

When everyone heard this, they all bowed down in fright.

Shit took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and began to praise piously.

He only knew that his elder sister could communicate with gods, but he didn't know how his elder sister did it.

This is also his first time...

The bullshit called out in Chinese.

A group of elders quietly listened to the mysterious and obscure high-level language, not understanding it.

As everyone knows...

Zhou Li'an couldn't hear it at all.

He made cow shit pray for the last 3 days of every 3 months, just to give him confidence.

Thus, there is no miraculous display of praise here.

However, everyone was not disappointed.

After witnessing the real divine punishment, their hearts of faith have been condensed.

For three days in a row.

Cowshit prays every night, begging the true God to hear.

4 month 1 day.

He didn't know whether he was successful, so he set off to return to the front army and went north to conquer again.

Also this morning.

Whoosh.

Zhou Li'an and Xuenv arrived at the Balance Station.
