Act Thirteen The Chemical Plant Scam
In a blink of an eye, half a month passed. As Deng Benyin and Chen Fengqi adopted Roger's suggestion, turned a blind eye to the protests and even fueled the fire, the civil protests against compensation were already very exciting.
At the beginning, students were just marching and distributing flyers, and enlightened people started to scold them in newspapers. At first, everyone was a little scared, thinking that according to Deng Benyin's practice, it seemed that a group of people should be caught? Most of the students who were parading were marching with the ambition of "the wind was whistling and the Yishui was cold, and the heroes never returned." Before going to the street, they had already instructed their relatives and friends to go to the police station to redeem the people, which was sufficiently prepared.
But later, everyone found that this preparation was useless, let alone arresting people, the police who usually bully people three points more ruthless than bandits actually enforced the law with a smile!? They smiled while helping to maintain order, and advised everyone not to crowd. It would be bad if they squeezed around and stepped on the children. Isn’t it bad if they didn’t step on the children and stepped on the flowers and plants!
It seems that Deng Benyin still has a patriotic heart! He should have had no choice but to compromise imperialism before. Well, this is definitely the case!
Deng Benyin didn't expect that the tricks originally used to deal with Americans actually brought a lot of public support for himself!? He was overjoyed and called Roger the reincarnation of Zhuge. However, this public support disappeared not long after, because later, when the provincial and Hong Kong workers went on strike and Hong Kong was completely paralyzed, Deng Benyin, who was so poor that he was in trouble to do business with the Hong Kong and British government to sell daily necessities to Hong Kong, even gave the annoying students who went on the street to protest again...
As the scruples of the United States were no longer concerned, the movement to protest against the United States' blackmail compensation became increasingly powerful. "Small advertisements" filled with protest slogans were pasted on every inch of the walls of the US consulate. Even the soldiers on guard were not spared. They were painted with paste by a student who was confused about advertisements and posted a picture of "psoriasis".
In addition to the demonstrations, the most powerful attack in newspapers has never stopped for a moment, and the influence has quickly expanded from Qiongya to the whole province. It is well known to everyone, and there is a trend of not stopping until it expands to the whole country.
This crazy situation has a strong sense of an anti-American storm, which makes Tanni and his friends feel uncomfortable. If this matter really expands, their political career will definitely become dull.
While Tanny was overwhelmed by the protests, on the other hand, Mrs. Tanny was quickly controlled and cured with the help of modern medicines. However, because she was quite weak in bed for a long time, she was still recovering after recovering from the illness. It was not until now that she was considered a recuperation. In order to celebrate her wife's recovery, Consul Tanny prepared to hold a dinner at the consulate. However, it was obvious that the purpose of the consul's dinner was not just to celebrate.
...
"Dear Jie, I have already accumulated enough start-up funds for the construction of the pharmaceutical factory. This is already most of my wealth. I hope you can use it well."
Not long after the dinner began, Tanni, who had dealt with the congratulations, came to Roger impatiently and handed him a Citibank check.
"Five hundred thousand dollars?" Roger looked at the check and returned him. "Tanny, it's enough to give me 100,000 first to make me build roads and recruit people. You can use the remaining money to order some equipment."
"But I don't know what equipment to buy."
"Don't worry, I'm ready. You can go to the hotel tomorrow to get it. I wrote a detailed list, but it's just some chemical synthesis equipment. You are so many of them in the United States."
"Chemical synthesis equipment? Do traditional Chinese medicine also have chemical products synthesized?" Since Roger said that penicillin is a traditional Chinese medicine product, Tan Ni has been considering to have a bad knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine for a while. He really doesn't know what traditional Chinese medicine drugs are chemical synthetics.
Of course, Chinese medicines in the Republic of China were not chemically synthesized at all, and penicillin was not chemically synthesized until the 21st century. They were all produced by fermentation of microorganisms.
So, why did Roger ask Tanny to buy chemical synthesis equipment? It’s not enough to produce penicillin!
The reason is very simple - commercial deception! It can be foreseen that when penicillin, a new epoch-making drug, shows its magic to the world, anyone will go crazy for it! No one can guarantee that he will not be infected, so everyone in the world may or may even inevitably use penicillin! Such a magical drug will naturally attract the attention of various characters, so Roger came up with this way to ensure that penicillin is firmly in his own hands.
At present, the most popular drug development model in the West is to find their medicinal value in compounds and then produce them through chemical synthesis methods. The first industrial production method that is thought of is chemical synthesis. There is no way, who makes this method the cheapest? No pharmaceutical factory will consider methods other than chemical synthesis unless it is absolutely necessary.
Roger bought chemical synthesis equipment to give those guys who later secretly produced methods an illusion - penicillin can be synthesized chemically! It can be produced in the cheapest and most popular way! As long as they have this idea, they will get the wrong direction of research from the beginning! Never think about making penicillin in their lifetime - you know, penicillin has never been made by chemical synthesis in 2012! With the technical level of the 1920s, even if those scientists think about it, they cannot synthesize penicillin by chemically.
However, when the penicillin factory was built into a chemical factory, how should penicillin be produced? The answer is very simple - imported from modern times!
When penicillin was first produced in industrialized, what was the monthly output of the world? It was 45 million units. Later, because Pfizer disclosed its production technology to other factories for co-production, its production capacity increased by hundreds of times in a short period of time. In modern times, a bottle of penicillin with a single dose of 8 million yuan was priced at 5.4 yuan, and if it was bought at 1 billion units, it would be 120 yuan... It costs less than 10 yuan to buy the production of American bosses in a month. This business is much more cost-effective than producing it yourself.
Since the mountain roads cannot be driven, Roger is preparing to let the mules take horses and carry goods. He leads two more mules to travel to the space-time caves twice. Even if the factory's annual output is settled...
After the penicillin was sold for money, Roger was preparing to buy all the land at both ends of the cave and build the road so that fermentation equipment could be imported from modern times, and then the penicillin factory will be officially established to produce penicillin in the Republic of China.
So, Roger is preparing to use space-time caves to layout - I sell penicillin on a large scale every day, right? All the equipment I imported is chemical synthesis equipment, right? So, if penicillin is not chemically synthesized, how did it come about?? It can't be transformed out of thin air! (The facts are really the same)
With this layout, Roger estimated that those jealous forces could not crack the problem by vomiting blood.
