The German government's reply arrived, accepting most of Zhuang Jihua's request, agreeing to help China establish an engine factory and a special steel factory within two years, and rejecting the heavy artillery factory, but it is recommended to replace it with an anti-chemical weapons and equipment factory.

Zhuang Jihua was silent for a while and finally accepted this condition. The Japanese army used chemical weapons in World War II, and Chinese soldiers suffered heavy casualties. It is also a good choice to have such a factory. As for heavy artillery, you can take it slowly, Germany will not give it to the United States.

The two sides signed a secret agreement, and the publicly signed authorization agreement between Sichuan Development Company and Deutsche Pharmaceutical Company was a big fanfare. The Chongqing Municipal Government held a grand signing ceremony at the Chongqing Hotel, with reporters from all over the country gathering.

"According to the agreement, in Europe we only authorize Deutsche Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd., which means Deutsche Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. is the only company in Europe that has the right to produce penicillin." As soon as Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar, and British and French reporters raised their hands to ask for questions.

"General Zhuang, why don't you authorize the British company?" asked the Times reporter.

"On this issue, you should ask the relevant company leaders in the UK." Zhuang Jihua's smile at this moment is the most mean and vicious in the world in the eyes of British and French journalists.

"Can't French companies provide two marks of patent usage fee?" AFP reporter rushed out: "Do you have a secret agreement?"

"No, this is a pure commercial agreement." Zhuang Jihua said: "Of course, companies in other European countries are not unable to engage in the production of penicillin. They can negotiate with Deutsche Pharmaceuticals, and of course we also need to withdraw a patent fee of two marks. = The novel is first published =="

The reporter's response was even more important, and he raised more hands.

Ralph said with a smile on his face: "I feel very much about General Zhuang's generosity. The ability to obtain authorization is inseparable from the efforts of our government. I think the prospects for Sino-Germany commercial cooperation are very broad."

Ralph has reason to be proud that this authorization will bring hundreds of millions of marks to Deutsche Pharmaceutical in the next few years.[]

Times columnist Foncharlie said on the same day, titled "The Failure of the British Empire in China", strongly condemning the British government for its inaction in this incident. "... It is obvious that the German government has done more in helping German enterprises, and our government is more like an old-fashioned master in a manor. He enjoys the dedication of the children but does nothing. The owner of 10 Downing Street and the old men in Whitehall stare at the invention that can change the fate of mankind with indifferent eyes and was taken away by the Germans. Mr. MacDonald should reflect on it...."

Charlie Feng also linked this incident to the fate of the British: "The failure of the Penicilli forest land is a sign of the decline of the British Empire in the Far East. In northern China, the League of Nations did not take tough measures against Japan, and the British Empire failed to take tough measures against the Japanese army's attack on the Great Wall. Therefore, the Chinese no longer believe in the League of Nations and no longer believe in the British Empire. They strengthened their cooperation with Germany, and the German affairs advisory group gained dominance in China. They dominated China's military procurement. British companies lost tens of millions of pounds of money every year, while many British companies struggled on the line of life and death...

The afterglow of the sunset shines at the intersection of the two rivers, and the river flows quietly. It takes away the glory of the British Empire and the glory of the British Empire. All of this will soon no longer belong to us...

Lord, forgive them!"

Foncharlie's article was on the front page of the Times that day. Fleet Street caused a sensation. British Prime Minister McDonald delivered a radio speech, believing that inventions such as penicillin that have made great contributions to human development are the common wealth of mankind, and that China should unconditionally disclose other patents.

The news reached Chongqing. Zhuang Jihua immediately felt a great threat. He was a little confused. Why did the British do this? He started to use brute force if he couldn't get it? He didn't want the gentlemanly demeanor? Zhuang Jihua was angry and immediately held a press conference to issue a statement: "I noticed Prime Minister McDonald's speech. I feel very regretful about this speech. I think Mr. McDonald's proposal is very short-sighted. The patent law of the Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland has been going on for hundreds of years. [] It cannot be abandoned just because of a penicillin? If it is said that it is a huge problem for human development.

The patents of penicillin are forcibly disclosed for the grounds of great contributions. So I want to ask Mr. MacDonald, which patent does not make a huge contribution to the development of mankind? Should they all be forced to be disclosed? If the British government talks about this precedent, is there any patent law in the UK? Who dares to apply for patents in the UK in the future? Will British scientists still dare to go abroad?" Finally, Zhuang Jihua threatened: "If the British government forces our patents to be disclosed, then we will file a lawsuit with the British Supreme Court, and we will join forces with other countries to take reciprocal measures."

The series of questions from Chongqing, China made MacDonald busy. Charlie Feng sarcastically said in the Times in a ridiculous tone: "In front of the young deputy mayor of Chongqing, Mr. MacDonald is more like a young man who has been in politics for a short time. He hurriedly put himself in an awkward position."

After the British government stabilized its position, it felt that the forced patent disclosure of the United Kingdom was too big to hit the British credibility. Moreover, the British intellectual circles and major companies also opposed it, believing that it was seriously unconstitutional. At this moment, MacDonald also felt that he had a great debate with the deputy mayor of a poor and backward country as a prestigious prime minister. He immediately stopped and contacted the National Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, his retreat was seen as Zhuang Jihua's victory in China, and the Shanghai newspaper industry began to praise it.

The Penicillin dispute also had another effect. Many foreign journalists came to Chongqing and found that this place seemed to be a paradise for China. There was no war here, and it was being built wildly. The whole city was like a huge construction site. This construction site absorbed almost all the surplus labor force in the city and surrounding rural areas. Moreover, its influence was still expanding to the farther surrounding area. People from northern Sichuan, northeast Sichuan, western Sichuan, and southern Sichuan, and those areas with frequent wars began to flow into Chongqing.

"Here we see a different China. The people here are working hard. In the countryside, we see children who are enjoying free education in spacious and bright classrooms. Their faces are healthy skin color. They are definitely not the kind of hunger we can see in the slums of Shanghai. We don't see tax collectors along the way. As long as you are willing to work, you can eat enough. Climb_Piao Tianwen】\ This is what the people here often say, and it is true. In this city, I have not seen beggars, they are either absorbed into

The factory either joined the road construction team. There was no agricultural tax, and the farmers' income increased significantly. The only thing they worry about now is when the government will re-collect taxes. Life has never been so good. The old farmer Wang Daniu told me that he is already over 60 years old this year. He has four sons, two daughters, two sons studying, two daughters are married, the eldest son is married, and the second son has entered the factory. After he is busy with farm work, he goes to a nearby construction site and earns five kilograms of rice every day. People in the village are like him,..."

After the well-known article on Wang Yunshengdi of Ta Kung Pao was published in Tianjin, many people were suspicious because there was no such place in China now, but the Damei Evening News in Shanghai published a report by their reporter Luo Songzhu, "The Southwest Corner of China", and people began to gradually believe it.

"Penicillin attracted me to this city. But now my interest in Penicillin is getting weaker and my interest in this city is getting higher and higher. Two years ago, when the Southwest Development just started, I, like my colleagues, doubted his achievements and his purpose. We even thought it was a scam, but today I want to tell you that all this is true, and there has been a huge change here in two years.

In two years, they started construction of seventeen factories here. Nine have been put into production. Among them, they have produced Penisi forest land Southwest Pharmaceutical. In two years, they have built 3,000 kilometers of road traffic. In two years, they have sorted out taxes in Chongqing and exempted thousands of years of agricultural taxes. In two years, they have built more than 200 schools and more than 300,000 students have been studying. In two years, they have started to build the first railway in Sichuan, and currently more than 100,000 people are working on the railway.

This is an economic miracle. Western economists may have to argue about it for many years. How did they do it? The captain of the Southwest Development Team, the captain of the once believed to betray Rehe and recently debated with MacDonald, told me that the way to create miracles is simple, work selflessly, and stay away from empty talk.

Working selflessly, stay away from empty talk; each person in the Southwest Development Team is responsible for the workload of three people, and they have no time to discuss what ideology or national policy; they devote all their energy to the Southwest Development. In another two or three years, when you come here again, you will see a brand new city and a vibrant land. General Li Zhilong, the deputy captain of the development team, told me this, and his face was filled with confidence.

This is a revolution led by a group of young people. Unlike the vigorous Blue Clothing Society movement in other parts of China, they are closer to the economy. Perhaps the oldest among this group of young people is General He Guoguang, the mayor of Chongqing. He is only fifty years old this year. He launched a huge municipal plan. He told me that after the plan is completed, Chongqing will be ten times more beautiful than it is now. I believe his words.

I didn't see any official who didn't pay for meals. There are still some people in the theater called Pao Ge by the locals. They are the Qinghong Gang from Sichuan, but it is obvious that they are much more restricted than the Qinghong Gang from Shanghai. When I tried to bribe a developer, he firmly refused and reported it to his superiors. I was questioned for a long time because bribery must have a purpose and is definitely ulterior motive. There seems to be no common ** and bureaucracy in officialdoms all over China. But Mr. Teng Jie told me that this situation still exists. They dealt with a team leader some time ago, and for this reason they improved the supervision mechanism...."

Luo Songzhu's report caused a sensation in Shanghai, and the magic of Chongqing began to scatter. The reporters who were about to go back received a telegram from the editor-in-chief asking them to interview Chongqing, and more reporters rushed to Chongqing from all over the country.

But Zhuang Jihua began to worry, and he began to regret accepting an interview with Luo Songzhu. The work of Southwest Development has just become a little bit famous, and the impact is so great, it is so eye-catching.

Luo Songzhu's interview happened after he handled the distribution method of penicillin in China, and it was also conducted inadvertently. Strictly speaking, he was deceived by a reporter.

After the European penicillin authorized it to Germany, Zhuang Jihua began to do domestic distribution. Shanghai is China's largest market and Shanghai is the center of competition among all economic forces. For example, the seven-star company has Kong Xiangxi's background. Although Kong Xiangxi has not touched him, he cannot ignore his relationship with him. The last time he refuted his face on the issue of imports was because he could not hand over the piece to them, but now the sales are different. Zhuang Jihua decided to ease his relationship with Kong Xiangxi and hand over Shanghai to him.

This time, the representative of the Seven Star Company was very honest and had a high level. The general manager came in person. The general manager was much smarter than the previous one. Perhaps because he learned more inside information, he agreed to Zhuang Jihua's request.

"I can give it to you in Shanghai. The price is 60 yuan, and you can only increase the price by 5 yuan." Zhuang Jihua was under too much pressure, so he had to make concessions on the price. Fortunately, the production of pharmaceutical factories has reached the level of 10,000 yuan per month, and he has an income of 600,000 yuan per month.

"Yes, there is no problem. I don't know how much I can give us every month?" The general manager was ecstatic. The torture of these days was not in vain. Half of the output is now 10,000 per month, and I will give you five thousand." The general manager hesitated. Zhuang Jihua shook his head lightly and said, "Don't be too greedy. Three thousand of these 10,000 branches are needed to be provided to the army. The principal still needs to suppress bandits on the front line of Jiangxi, and the remaining 2,000 branches are still needed to Nanjing, Guangzhou, and Peking. In addition, General Liu Xiang in Sichuan also needs to be needed."

"I understand, I understand, thank you General Zhuang for his support, I will pay the deposit immediately."

Okay, let's go, I don't need to remind you. Zhuang Jihua stood up and wanted to see you off. Gong Xiuhua hurried in. She glanced at the general manager, and then whispered a few words in Zhuang Jihua's ear. Zhuang Jihua's face suddenly became serious.

"When did it happen?"

"Just happened just now, they reported it immediately." Gong Xiuhua's voice was still relatively low, but the general manager still heard it. He immediately stood up and said to Zhuang Jihua: "General Zhuang, you are busy, I will say goodbye first."

"You go and sign the agreement with Director Yu of the Logistics Department, and I won't give it to you." Zhuang Jihua's brow was so close that he was obviously talking about what had just happened.
