My girlfriend is from 1949
Chapter 366 Vaccines: A Formidable Enemy Arrives
If it's just ordinary medicine, and something goes wrong...
For example, cold medicine, fever reducers, weight loss pills, etc., are only purchased when needed.
There have been quite a few cases where problems with this drug have been exposed and caused a major uproar.
Especially with weight-loss drugs, a large number of problems have been found.
Let's not even talk about those small workshops that produce substandard products.
Even well-known large state-owned enterprises, which hire celebrities to endorse their weight-loss drugs, have been exposed for potentially fatal side effects.
This side effect was exposed by foreign media.
Then, the product was removed from shelves nationwide.
However, overall, it did not cause any stir, and the public was almost unaware of it.
In fact, some small workshops make so-called weight loss drugs from dough balls, which at best have no effect.
It's better than eating something that might kill you!
And countless other medicines have been found to be counterfeit or substandard.
It's just that the general public doesn't need it, or only eats it for a few days at specific times, so they don't pay attention to it.
However, the issue of vaccines concerns the health of the entire population.
In severe cases, it can even lead to death!
Therefore, the public is quite sensitive to this kind of thing.
Even online these days, the mere mention of foreign-promoted vaccines entering the country evokes fear and a subconscious suspicion that they represent a harmful conspiracy.
Therefore, this biotech company has crossed the line for the public and for every Chinese citizen!
It's virtually impossible for them to survive.
The only thing we can do now is to stop producing other products.
The more you produce, the more capital is tied up, and the greater the losses will be.
Doing nothing is actually the cheapest way.
Meanwhile, products that have already been produced are being sold at discounted prices to distributors under various pretexts during this period.
Clearing out the inventory will also reduce losses.
As for whether they can change their name and start over, it depends on whether the boss behind them has a strong enough background and whether their product can outcompete the competition.
However, given what happened, he will most likely choose to change careers.
Yang Yongli then set his sights on those devices.
Upon receiving the assignment, I immediately contacted the biotechnology company.
They seem to be considering whether to change the name and make a comeback, or simply sell the business and switch careers.
I'm struggling with this.
Just then, someone wanted to acquire it, and they were immediately interested.
After a brief negotiation, they only received one offer.
Moreover, the price is relatively high, and it only represents mutual intentions.
This kind of business definitely requires face-to-face discussion.
Moreover, usually, if one round isn't enough, it takes several more rounds to get a result.
You can find the latest updated chapters of this book by searching "Deqi Novel Network" on Bing!
Yang Yongli hurriedly whispered, "Brother Chen, this equipment might be a bit new. Although it's not as automated as the current equipment, it's a model from around 2000, made in China."
The machines we've acquired in the past have been at least 30 years old.
In addition, when it was imported from abroad, it was not the latest model.
Therefore, in terms of generational difference, it is at least the technology of the 70s.
In the 50s, it had a generational advantage, but not a significant one, and it wasn't afraid of being seen by others.
However, those produced domestically more than ten years ago were the newest at the time.
Although science and technology have made rapid progress in the past ten years or so.
In just over a decade, there has been a generational gap.
But in 1949, it was indeed very advanced.
Chen Huai'an did not respond, but instead looked at the girl beside him.
He was only responsible for selecting and negotiating prices with the purchasing agencies; the final decision was made by Lin Wan.
Whether it fits the era depends not only on the dangers it brings, but also on whether it can be successfully implemented.
Otherwise, even if we send them the most advanced equipment, they won't know how to operate it.
If something goes wrong, you won't even be able to find anyone to fix it.
In the 90s, our country's technology was backward, and many machines were imported from Japan or Germany.
The Japanese claim they are helping us, but frankly, it's all about making money.
We purchased their machines, and they kept the technology completely secret, not allowing our engineers to touch them at all.
Even if there is a malfunction, you can only call their engineers to fix it.
Moreover, during the repair process, our engineers had to avoid it, not giving them a chance to see it at all.
Even now, there is still a group of colonists who praise and are grateful, turning normal transactions, which they deliberately concealed from the technology blockade, into something to be thanked for!
Of course, there's no technological blockade involved when purchasing machines from modern sources.
But the key issue is that the engineers here can't travel back 76 years to teach the engineers in 1949 how to repair it.
Moreover, due to limited education levels, it is not easy to find workers.
Therefore, products from the 1970s and 80s are more suitable for use there.
Lin Wan narrowed her eyes and pondered, "Do you have the parameters and pictures?"
"Yes!" Yang Yongli hurriedly took out his tablet, pulled up a picture of the machine, and handed it over with both hands.
Lin Wan took the tablet and carefully read the parameters on it.
I looked at each of the device pictures again and analyzed the differences between them.
Although she didn't understand the specific technology, she could tell how advanced the machine was by comparing the parameters and looking at its appearance.
This equipment was indeed quite sophisticated and advanced for 1949.
However, by 2026, it would be a product of the last century, with a significant technological gap.
In terms of the technological sophistication of the controls alone, they are on completely different levels.
Lin Wan carefully examined the device, her mind racing: "Although it's relatively advanced, it's still operable and repairable, and I can even learn the techniques! If I encounter any repair problems, I can record a video and have the people here teach me!"
After a moment's thought, I made a decision.
This equipment is only moderately advanced, making it suitable for learning and research in my own time.
Moreover, since it's domestically developed technology, there's no risk of technological blockade.
Even if a problem arises that the engineers there can't solve, it can be recorded and the people here can provide guidance and solutions.
This process can also improve research techniques.
It's just right!
Chen Huai'an saw her nod her little head and knew that she had decided to make the purchase.
He couldn't help but whisper a reminder: "This isn't a pertussis vaccine production line; can it be used interchangeably?"
The vaccines procured this time are for pertussis, a disease with a high mortality rate among children.
During the Republic of China period, the child mortality rate was extremely high, with the infant mortality rate generally ranging from 150‰ to 250‰.
The mortality rate for children under 5 is approximately 30%–40%, with rates much higher in rural and war-torn areas than in cities.
At that time, the Kuomintang reactionaries, from top to bottom, were only concerned with how to make money and did not care about the lives of the people at all.
When our Party was in northern Shaanxi, it faced the problem of lack of medical care and medicine.
However, they place great importance on the health of infants and young children, and the mortality rate is far lower than that of more developed cities in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.
Now that the whole country has been liberated, the issue of infants and young children has naturally become the top priority.
Promoting the pertussis vaccine nationwide to reduce infant mortality is what needs to be done at this stage.
Lin Wan leaned closer and whispered, "The equipment used for producing vaccines is universal. As long as the production line is thoroughly cleaned and all residues from previous vaccine production are completely removed to prevent cross-infection, it will be fine."
As expected of a top student, after receiving the task from the organization, he made a point of learning about this knowledge.
Now, the newly established People's Republic of China is in dire need of reconstruction, and there are countless things to be done.
The amount of information that needs to be understood and mastered is also countless.
You could say that you're learning different things every day.
But it still doesn't feel like enough.
Therefore, in many cases, we don't learn on the spot.
Fortunately, in this age of information overload, you can easily browse information from home with just a few taps on your phone.
Twenty years ago, if you wanted to acquire this knowledge, you would have to go to the library or Xinhua Bookstore.
Once I get there, I'll find what I want among the many books.
Then, by the time you find the information you're interested in within the entire book, a whole day has probably passed.
But in this age of information overload, it only takes half an hour to get a general understanding.
Anyway, you don't need too much specialized knowledge, just a general understanding is enough.
For professional matters, it's best to leave them to the professionals.
Her job was simply to make sure she didn't make any mistakes when buying things.
However, to be fair, any modern machine sent to 1949 would be considered cutting-edge technology.
So even if you buy the wrong thing, it doesn't matter.
Besides being able to use it in a different place, it also serves as a way to learn and accumulate technical skills.
Chen Huai'an nodded slightly and asked with a smile, "So, you mean, Mr. Chen approves of this deal?"
Lin Wan smiled and nodded in agreement: "As long as the price is right, I agree."
A set of domestically produced equipment from 20 years ago could be of great use if it were transported back.
The sooner it is produced, the sooner it can be used on children.
Vaccination can also prevent premature death.
In fact, the figure of 400 million compatriots was already a figure from before the end of 1949.
According to official data, the actual population has reached 5.4 million!
Therefore, the actual demand still needs to increase.
In the early stages of vaccination, a surge in supply is needed.
The production capacity of those machines from the Republic of China era, which were already in use during the Qing Dynasty, is unimaginable.
It is virtually impossible to supply vaccinations to all children in the country as quickly as possible.
However, if vaccination is delayed by even one day, more children may become infected.
Therefore, in addition to purchasing modern equipment, we also need to purchase a batch of vaccines.
Only by being prepared in both directions can vaccination be completed in the shortest possible time.
Yang Yongli's eyes lit up with excitement when he received the letter.
If they agree to make the purchase, it means I can make money as a middleman again.
As long as you buy the machinery and equipment, you can make a profit by reselling it.
Although it's not a huge profit, the key is that the buyers are stable.
He can trade equipment from seven or eight factories every month, and even with low profits, he can still make a fortune.
So now his car has changed from a 60 yuan sedan to a 200 million yuan SUV.
Of course, with money, you meet new girls every day and go on blind dates several times a week.
Blind dates are something that can be very difficult, but they can also be very easy.
Modern matchmaking methods are even more direct.
Usually, after meeting with a poor person, the deal falls through on the same day!
The relationship ended that very night after meeting the rich man!
Modern fast-food style of love is that simple and brutal.
As long as we can each get what we need, we don't need to ask for forever; we just need to have had it once.
Life was so comfortable; I wouldn't trade it for a cadre position!
at the same time
Cai Yinjun sat at the end of the row and secretly observed the situation.
Because he's just a rich kid and doesn't have much talent, he has a somewhat inconspicuous demeanor.
However, after listening to the conversation, I roughly understood the situation.
The man in front of us, Mr. Chen, is a highly capable and young businessman who is acquiring old equipment.
Whether it's being shipped to third-world countries or for other reasons, the demand is huge.
We accept any old, obsolete equipment.
Yang Yongli, this middleman, made his fortune by currying favor with this powerful figure.
Cai Yinjun saw this and how could he not be envious?
Making money is important, but it would also be great if we could also get on this bandwagon.
Having a powerful and influential backer is even more important!
in the country, while ability is important for building a career, connections and background are fundamental.
If you can stand at the right spot, even a sow can take off!
Deep down, Cai Yinjun also had his own ideas and ambitions.
He wants to be valued by his family, not to be seen as a spoiled brat who just loafs around and does nothing.
His eyes darted around, and he quickly went through the thought process in his mind.
Take a deep breath and try to calm the tension in your heart.
He began by asking, "Is Boss Chen buying up used, old equipment?"
Although she tried to relax, her voice sounded stiff, clearly indicating that she was still very nervous.
Chen Huai'an was very approachable and nodded with a smile.
He even joked, "If Mr. Tsai has any suitable equipment, please contact me; the price will definitely be fair!"
It was originally just a polite remark.
Upon hearing this, a flicker of excitement flashed in Cai Yinjun's eyes.
His fist, resting on his lap, trembled slightly, and he shouted excitedly in his heart, "I bet right!"
He hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Boss Chen, you can just call me Xiao Cai or Yingjun. I can't accept the title of General Manager Cai in front of you."
Then, a look of sudden realization appeared on his face.
"I just remembered, there really is a vaccine production facility."
That was a pharmaceutical factory, left behind because of a safety accident.
I remember the fire happened sixteen years ago, and several people died in the fire at the factory.
Later, for some reason, the factory went out of business.
However, all the machinery and equipment were sealed up.
That pharmaceutical factory was established around 95.
The machinery and equipment were all the latest at the time.
Moreover, the equipment was not burned during the fire.
Once you buy it, you can install and debug it in a different location and start producing vaccines.
If you're interested, I can get in touch.
After he finished speaking, his clenched fist was so tight that his nails almost dug into his flesh.
The other party's answer will determine whether you can get on this golden thigh!
Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow and nodded with a smile without thinking.
"I'll buy as many as you want, as long as the price is right!"
Then he picked up his wine glass and said with a warm smile, "Handsome, I'll need you to put more effort into these things in the future."
Cai Yinjun's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly picked up his cup and stood up excitedly.
As long as we can get our hands on this equipment, it's like we're on board. How can we not be excited?
Chen Huai'an smiled and waved his hand, indicating, "Sit down and have a drink. We're all friends, so make yourself at home."
Cai Yinjun, however, maintained a very proper attitude. He held the cup with both hands, lightly touched the other person's cup with the rim, and then tilted his head back to drink it all in one gulp.
He picked up the bottle, went around to the back, filled it with wine, and then went back inside.
Yang Yongli observed the entire process with a cold eye, secretly thinking, "This is a formidable opponent!"
