1949 I am from the future

【175】Penicillin

Xiaoqiang left after lunch at the Kyoto Equestrian Club. He politely declined the afternoon hot spring activity and polite dinner invitation arranged by Bai Bing and others. Murong Ruolan also left with Xiaoqiang.

On the return journey, Murong Ruolan pouted and said, "Xiaoqiang, why don't you go to the hot spring with everyone?"

Xiaoqiang prevaricated on the grounds that there were still unfinished business in the company.

In fact, he was afraid of facing Li Muyun.

He himself didn't know why he was afraid, but he felt a little guilty, as if he had done something bad, so he didn't dare to look Li Muyun in the eye.

Now he just wants to go back to the company quickly, enter the familiar work, and forget all the confusion and mania in the morning.

"Why don't you stay and go to the hot spring with them?" Xiaoqiang asked Murong Ruolan back.

"If you don't go, I won't go either." Murong Ruolan said with a smile.

Xiaoqiang smiled back and stopped talking.

Along the way, the two chatted and chatted. After Xiaoqiang sent Murong Ruolan home, he went back to the company directly.

After checking the company's latest warehousing schedule, Xiaoqiang understood that it was time to return to 1950 tonight.

Zhao Dayou has been in a bad mood recently, once again letting Xiaoqiang slip away with magic tricks under his nose, making him, an atheist, almost doubt whether magic really exists in the world.

When the investigators sneaked into the warehouse again, they found that the place had been evacuated, and even their surveillance equipment had disappeared. This made Zhao Dayou puzzled. He really didn't know what magic could do Played like this.

Zhao Dayou made a report to his superiors, truthfully reflecting his work progress, but the attitude of the superiors remained unchanged, asking him to continue monitoring and not to alarm Cao Xiaoqiang.

Zhao Dayou had no choice but to accept this fact calmly.That is, he could neither find out Xiaoqiang's problem, nor take any further action, so he became Xiaoqiang's nanny, following behind and watching all day long.

This half-dead state made Zhao Dayou very depressed. For this reason, he drank a lot of alcohol recently and often fell asleep in the surveillance car.The other investigators also couldn't get motivated, they just hit the clock as a monk for a day.

That night, after Xiaoqiang checked the goods in the warehouse, he cut his fingers and set up a blood sacrifice formation to cross through.

After returning to 1950, Xiaoqiang looked at the supplies in the warehouse full of darkness, lit a cigarette, turned on the headlights and drove towards the familiar gate.After greeting Wei Guo, Xiaoqiang didn't get out of the car either, and the two went straight to the hospital.After the blood transfusion, Xiaoqiang went back to the courtyard to sleep, and had nothing to say all night.

In 1950, Hong Kong was just a small fishing village. The prosperous areas in the center of the island city were basically occupied by the British. Those wealthy Chinese who fled from the mainland tried their best to buy houses in the residential areas of the British, just for the sake of the environment. Good law and order.Because of the war, the number of small Hong Kong residents has increased sharply, and prices have soared.

Huo Yingdong was very puzzled recently. His contact person told him not to smuggle black iron sheets, gauze, western medicine, rubber, hardware and other materials in the future.After he received the news, he guessed that the mainland probably already had a stable land transportation from the Soviet Union. Although he didn't know how the materials were transported in the vast Siberian wasteland, and how expensive it would be, after all, it wasn't him. concerned.

What really makes him extremely regretful is that this huge and stable monthly income has since been cut off, and I am afraid that he will have to look for other business opportunities in the future.Although there was a touch of patriotism in his smuggling plot, it was the steady profits and exclusive access that fascinated him most.

Hong Kong is a free port, and there are people occupying any industry. It is not easy to enter any industry.Taking people's wealth is like killing people's lives. If you rush into the job grabbing, others will definitely not rest with you.In Hong Kong, a colony where the boundaries between black and white are blurred, there are various homicides and violent crimes every day, a large part of which is for profit distribution within various industries.

Huo Yingdong was able to quickly accumulate so much wealth in his hands because he had his own unique method of making money.But this exclusive method of making money by smuggling to the mainland has been cut off all of a sudden, so where will he find such a good deal in the future.

But he didn't feel depressed for a long time. His contact person found him again and told him that he would continue to smuggle in the future, and promised him that he would earn more than before.

He was overjoyed by this news. After asking, he found out that the mainland was planning to allow him to monopolize the smuggling of western medicine, not to ship to the mainland, but to transport the penicillin produced in the mainland to Hong Kong, occupying the entire anti-inflammatory drug market in Hong Kong, and also to sell it to the West. nation.

When Huo Yingdong heard this, he felt that this matter was a bit unreliable.A few months ago, the mainland was screaming for him to transport more penicillin, so why did he start to export this thing after a while?

According to his contact person, the penicillin production line has been built in China, the technology is the world's first, the output is large, and the quality is the world's first-class good stuff.

Huo Yingdong held a box of samples given to him by his connector, he was dubious, but the profit told him by the other party surprised him.

These days, the price of penicillin, that is, penicillin, is as heavy as gold. A box of six vials of 35 units of penicillin can only be bought with a small yellow croaker, which is [-] U.S. dollars, and it is even more expensive to smuggle to the mainland. Fully doubled, three bottles will cost one small yellow croaker!But there is no drug resistance these days, and penicillin is very powerful. One penicillin a week, injected for three consecutive weeks, can treat gonorrhea patients in the first and second stages.Much of the penicillin smuggled in the mainland was used to treat the illnesses of conscientious brothel prostitutes.This is also the five-body projection that Huo Yingdong admires, and it is not easy to call the Communist Party directly.

And his connector told him that there were a total of 12 boxes of penicillin in this wooden box, and each box was also six vials, but each bottle was worth [-] units!The price offered to Huo Yingdong was three boxes of a small yellow croaker, and no US dollars were accepted, only gold bars and silver.

Huo Yingdong was immediately stunned by the profit.Penicillin does not take up more space than cotton yarn, black iron sheets, rubber, etc. It does not need to be transported by a large ship. A small boat can pack many boxes in the past. If this business can be successful, wouldn’t it be a fortune?

With such a low price, Huo Yingdong couldn't help but be tempted.The contact person told him that this is also a contribution to the country. The country needs gold and silver as reserves for issuing currency, and the more the better.

With the support of huge profits and national justice, Huo Yingdong acted quickly. After inquiring, he found out that the wholesale price of Pfizer’s penicillin in the Hong Kong market is 28% of the retail price, which is [-] US dollars a box, so there is still a price. There is no market, and the drug control in the West is very strict, especially in Hong Kong. Now it is almost impossible to buy directly from pharmaceutical factories in the market, and it is all relying on the monopoly and underwriting of several foreign companies.

Huo Yingdong understood that if the penicillin business was successful, he would be able to ship a large number of products at a price lower than the wholesale price of the pharmaceutical factory, and he would be able to monopolize the penicillin market in Hong Kong.Thinking of the huge profits here, he couldn't bear it anymore, even if he wanted to fight against the foreign firm.

After making up his mind, Huo Yingdong was determined to go all out this time, and first provided these samples to the clinic for a try, and the results shocked him...

Huo Yingdong found his family doctor, Edward, an Englishman. Edward opened a small hospital called Jose Clinic. The clinic is small, with seven or eight beds.

Huo Yingdong drove to Jose Clinic excitedly in the rain.As soon as he arrived at the clinic, he rushed into Edward's consulting room.

He told Edward that he had a batch of the most advanced penicillin in his hand, with a bottle of 20 units. There are five boxes of samples here, which can be given to him for trial. One box costs only 35 US dollars, which is 15 US dollars cheaper than the market price of 26 US dollars. , even though it is $6 cheaper than the wholesale price of $[-] in the pharmaceutical factory.

For Huo Yingdong, the price of 20 US dollars per box is a net profit of more than 8 US dollars per box, which is almost doubled.If this can be done, it will be much better than smuggling anything. You must know that the profit from the smuggled materials that the mainland gave him before was only [-]%, which is already very huge profits.

However, Dr. Edward did not believe in such a good thing in the world.He carefully looked at the little powder in the bottle.

"My dear Huo, there is no such thing as penicillin in a bottle of [-] units of powder. At least I have never seen it. Such a low price is even more impossible. You must have been cheated."

Huo Yingdong was in a hurry. This was related to his great fortune. He grabbed Edward's hand and said earnestly: "Edward, do me this favor. You try it first. If the curative effect is not good, I don't need to charge you. It's for you."

Edward took the package Huo Yingdong gave him with difficulty. Thinking about the clinic that the Huo family has always taken care of him, they have helped him both black and white, and introduced many business guests and company employees. I don't want to offend.

Edward copied blunt Chinese and said: "Okay, Mr. Huo, I will help you with this favor, but you gave me the medicine, and you will be responsible for any accidents."

Huo Yingdong saw that it was done, and agreed wholeheartedly.

Edward opened the package and sighed when he saw that there was nothing written on the box and nothing was posted on the vial.He didn't dare to use these three non-products on the British, but since he agreed to Huo Yingdong, he still had to keep his promise, so he decided to find a Chinese to try the medicine.

Huo Yingdong was worried, afraid that Edward would play tricks on him, so he stayed in Edward's clinic. He wanted to see Edward inject the medicine into the patient's body.He is also very curious, is this medicine as miraculous as the comrade who connected it said, what is [-] units per bottle.Edward can say that the largest unit on the market is only [-] units.

Edward's clinic has a good reputation nearby, and a ready-made example happened to come that afternoon.

That afternoon, a Chinese boy suffering from scarlet fever came to the clinic. He had a severe fever. His mother cried bitterly while hugging him, and almost knelt down for Dr. Edward.After Edward's diagnosis was over, he hesitated and said, "This child needs penicillin injections, two doses a day, for a week."

The Chinese woman was wearing a whitish green quilted cheongsam. She seemed to be from a poor family. She pleaded: "Doctor, please save my child, I will pay for it."

Edward had seen such poor people a lot, and the woman in front of him must not be able to afford so much money for a while.With a thought in his mind, he sighed secretly, opened the drawer calmly, took out the penicillin Huo Yingdong gave him, and didn't ask the nurse to help him with the injection, he opened the bottle himself and injected distilled water, after shaking it a few times, The powder in the bottle has completely dissolved!

Seeing such a potion, Edward felt chills in his heart.It turns out that the penicillin powder of these years does not dissolve as fast as the 2011 product, and the dissolution is not complete at all. Generally speaking, starch residue must be left.Edward had never seen such penicillin before, but he thought it was full of powder made from salt grains, and felt bitter in his heart.

But with Huo Yingdong standing beside him, Edward couldn't repent, so he had to bite the bullet and give the child a skin test and then injected them all.

Edward said in his heart, this injection is for Huo Yingdong's face, and I will inject the child with real penicillin for the second injection no matter what. Scarlet fever is an acute disease, and it may die if it is delayed for a day. The sign was smashed.
