[406] Settling accounts happily

Huo Yingdong's ambition is not just talking about it, he feels that he is fully capable of doing it now.

The sales of penicillin before Starlight, in South America alone, made a monthly profit of 100 million pounds, equivalent to more than 280 million U.S. dollars. Even if the profits were shared with Hong Kong Governor's wife, Gomulin, there would still be a net profit of 260 million U.S. dollars!

In the markets of Southeast Asia and Oceania, Starlight is also the leader, killing Pfizer and Glaxo Conway, with a monthly net profit of more than 400 million US dollars.

The performance in the European market made Huo Yingdong even more excited. By subcontracting European countries to various agents, the monthly income of Starlight has reached 900 million US dollars!If it weren't for the fact that East Germany also got Chinese goods and participated in European competition, the profits of Starlight Line would be even more lucrative.

Huo Yingdong, who earns tens of millions of dollars a month, is now the top richest man in Hong Kong. He understands that everything he has is thanks to his motherland.Therefore, in terms of the pricing power of new drugs, everything is subject to domestic arrangements.

The state requires Huo Yingdong to reduce the profit of medicines in the future. For example, the market wholesale price of 20 units of penicillin has dropped to US$1 per dozen, so domestic profits have also dropped. In principle, Starlight Line will only export medicines in the mainland in the future. On the basis of the supply price, make a [-]% increase.

At the same time, the state also requires that Starlight should play the role of a commercial intelligence agency, timely collect drug price fluctuations in various countries, so that the country can adjust pricing in a timely manner, and ensure that Chinese drugs have a dominant position in the market.

Huo Yingdong readily agreed, because after seeing the domestic supply price, his eyeballs almost fell off!

Streptomycin and isoniazid, everyone knows, are the most in short supply and best tuberculosis drugs that American newspapers say at the moment.Although the United States has developed dihydrostreptomycin, it cannot be prepared on a large scale because of the first problem; second, the price is astonishingly high; before, it cost US$0.8 per bottle per gram; third, the side effects are extremely strong.

However, penicillin sulfate produced in China is not a preparation method at all compared with dihydrostreptomycin, which has strong side effects, and is a drug that can be produced industrially on a large scale.

As for isoniazid, which was first introduced in the United States and Switzerland in 1952 in history, it is completely a unique drug sweeping the world at this moment, and it can be sold at almost any price you want.He was really flattered that the country was able to supply a large amount of the new special drug to Huo Yingdong when it was "just put into production".

The reason why the country did not monopolize sales under the state-run export system was mainly due to Xiaoqiang’s suggestion, because by the beginning of 1951, the United States had already started to use the sulfuric acid method to prepare streptomycin, and with the copycat capabilities of the United States, I believe it would not take long. The raw materials of isoniazid, which are easy to prepare, will be copied by them in large numbers.With the huge industrial capacity of the United States, once the copycats are successful, the prices of the current high-priced streptomycin and isoniazid will plummet, so right now, grabbing the market is the most important thing.

As for chloramphenicol, the comrades in the north told Huo Yingdong that they only provide eye drops and tablets, and do not provide the weird beige capsules similar to the trademark of the American "Parker-Davis" drug manufacturer on the market.

Huo Yingdong is now putting all his thoughts on the pharmaceutical business, and he also knows something about the chloramphenicol capsules produced by the "Parker-Davis" pharmaceutical factory in the United States. He only knows that the stuff is surprisingly expensive, and a bottle of 12 capsules sells for 10 US dollars!It is often out of stock, and the price peaks at $20 a bottle.It was once touted as a medicine for bringing the dead back to life.

But the comrades in the north said that the side effects of that thing are serious, and it may cause irreversible bone marrow damage, resulting in aplastic anemia. Generally, it is only used as eye drops. This time, it provides 100 chloramphenicol tablets in a bottle. In the instructions inside, it is written in detail that long-term use and repeated use on the same patient are prohibited.

There is an old saying in China that you must be good at what you do. Fok Yingdong specially bought a bottle of "Parker-Davis" chloramphenicol, and found that there were no such reminders on it. He angrily threw the bottle of foreign medicine into the trash can .At the same time, Huo Yingdong was very moved. Sure enough, only we Chinese would tell the Chinese about these side effects.

Xiaoqiang sat down at the dining table, took the soup bowl from Meng Sisi, and drank a bowl of chicken soup first.

Before he had time to eat, there was another commotion in the yard, and he pushed the door to go out, only to see Dongzi standing at the door with a face full of surprise, shouting stupidly: "Hello, Prime Minister!"

Xiaoqiang saw that it was the Prime Minister who came, so he rushed forward to meet him.

"You are here, Prime Minister."

The Prime Minister nodded with a smile, and said, "What if I don't come? I heard that you and Boss Peng are arguing to go to North Korea. I'll take a look quickly so that you don't have to go by yourself."

Meng Sisi was a little panicked, but quickly calmed down, and quickly asked the Prime Minister to come in and sit in the room.

Seeing that there was dinner on the table in the living room, the prime minister said with a hearty smile, "You guys are eating, I just haven't had dinner, so I'll stop by your place for a meal, Sisi, you don't mind."

Meng Sisi smiled like a flower, and quickly ran out to fetch bowls and chopsticks for the Prime Minister.Xiaoqiang invited the prime minister to sit down, and after the prime minister sat down, he sat next to the prime minister.

Xiaoqiang knew that the prime minister came here specially for his own business, and when he saw Meng Sisi leaving, he didn't make any preparations, and took the opportunity to say straightforwardly: "Prime Minister, I live too leisurely now, like a transport captain, just tossing back and forth , I want to do something meaningful and realize my dream.”

The Prime Minister did not shy away, picked up the soup bowl that Xiaoqiang had used in front of him, filled half a bowl of chicken soup for himself, and said with a smile, "Let me try your Sisi's cooking."

Meng Sisi was entering the room with the freshly washed bowls and chopsticks. He blushed and said, "Master He stewed it. Next time you come, Prime Minister, I will stew it for you."

When Xiaoqiang saw Meng Sisi entering the room, he couldn't say anything confidential, so he quickly asked Prime Minister Meng Sisi to serve the meal, and the three of them ate.

The prime minister's face was thin, obviously he had not had a good rest recently, Xiaoqiang and Meng Sisi hurriedly put some food in the prime minister's bowl, and the prime minister did not refuse.The Prime Minister only ate a bowl of rice and said, "Sisi, you go out first, I have something to say to Xiaoqiang."

When only Xiaoqiang and the Prime Minister were left in the living room, the Prime Minister leaned on the sofa and said, "Comrade Cao Xiaoqiang, only the division of labor is important in revolutionary work. Your current job is more important than anyone else."

Xiaoqiang became serious when he saw the prime minister directly addressing him by his name.

The Prime Minister continued: "For the liberation and rejuvenation of the nation, we Chinese Communist Party members have fought for 23 years since the August [-]st Nanchang Uprising. We have long been tired and don't want to fight anymore. We hope to build our own country peacefully. But right now, the imperialist enemies are unwilling to let us stop and force us to continue fighting. We have no choice.

Xiaoqiang, your current job is much more important than fighting wars, and even more important than my prime minister.War is a life-threatening job, anyone can go, even Boss Peng, the commander-in-chief of the volunteer army, can also be replaced by others, and it is the same for me, the prime minister, to be replaced by others.

But Xiaoqiang, what about your job?Who can replace it?You are irreplaceable!

Xiaoqiang, if you have an idea now, I, Zhou Enlai, can understand.Who has never been young?In this era, which guy has not dreamed of going to the front to kill the enemy and defend the country?

But for the entire country and nation, you must have a sense of responsibility and understand what you should and cannot do. "

Xiaoqiang wanted to wait for a rebuttal, but he couldn't say a word, so he could only listen with a blushing face.

The Prime Minister finally said: "In short, you can't do war. I can satisfy you for other requirements."

Xiaoqiang pursed his lips and said, "I didn't ask for it. I'm living a good life."

The prime minister smiled, fearing that Xiaoqiang would get emotional because of this matter, he changed the topic and said, "Xiaoqiang, recently Premier Chen Yun told me that our export business is very good. The export of medicines started at the end of January. In half a year, It earned more than 1.5 million US dollars for the country. If all of them were converted into gold, there would be more than 133 tons. After the efforts of our overseas comrades, we actually exchanged 82 tons of gold from various channels, and we still have more than 5700 million in our hands. U.S. dollars. Of course, there is still a big gap between this and the more than 1.9 tons of gold reserves announced by the U.S. Federal Reserve just this year, but this is really important for a poor and white country like China!

In addition to the more than 90 taels of gold and more than 3000 million taels of silver and more than 5000 million U.S. dollars that we confiscated from Taiwan and looted by the Kuomintang, there are now a full 110 tons of gold, more than 1100 tons of silver, and more than 1 million U.S. dollars in the treasury. "

The Prime Minister became more and more excited as he spoke. He patted the back of Xiaoqiang's hand and said, "Xiaoqiang, all these contributions will be credited to your account! The motherland and people will never forget the great contribution you made!"

Xiaoqiang was excited by what the Prime Minister said, forgetting his regret of not being able to go to the battlefield, and asked: "How did you seize 90 taels of gold from Taiwan? Chang Kaishen only took away 277 taels of gold from the Shanghai Central Reserve. Two gold!"

The Prime Minister said angrily: "After we interrogated Lao Jiang during this period, he confessed that a small part of about 30 taels was awarded to his officers, and a large part of about 100 million taels was deposited with the US government. There, it was used to mortgage the billion-dollar foreign debt he owed before.

Now because of Chang Kaishen's defeat in the war, the United States said that the more than 100 million taels of gold was not enough for a fraction of the 10 billion U.S. dollars in foreign debt owed by Chang Kaishen, and had been confiscated by the U.S. government.Even the remaining bonds, stocks, and land assets of the Kuomintang government in the United States have been frozen by the United States.After our diplomats tried hard to reason, this part of the assets that Chang Kaishen did not use as collateral for foreign debts has not been confiscated for the time being, but has been frozen indefinitely, but this is no different from being confiscated. "

Xiaoqiang couldn't help shouting that it's a pity.

The prime minister saw that Xiaoqiang was in high spirits, and said with a smile: "There is still good news. Our gold collection work in the first half of this year has been calculated. It is estimated that this year the whole country will be able to complete 100 million taels of gold collection work, so that the treasury reserves will increase again." It can increase more than 30 tons, reaching or approaching 150 tons.

The previous fabric sales were also very gratifying. At present, the monthly fabric sales across the country can make a profit of more than 6000 million yuan. After a few months, the profit exceeds 2.7 million yuan!Calculated according to the current exchange price of [-] yuan per gram of gold by the People's Bank of China, it means that the money we spend in exchange for gold has been recovered from the fabric. Times the market funds, effectively curbing the current market inflation.The central government predicts that before the end of the year, the current rationing system will be cancelled, and a salary system will be implemented across the country.
