Chapter 45 Pfizer Pharmaceuticals (1)

"Dad, look at my brother. I feel so excited when I talk about his profession." Zeng Jianing said.

The Zeng family also looked like they were not surprised by Zeng Jiahui's excitement. Zeng Jianing always focused on Shen Xiuwen. Seeing that he could talk to his nerd brother, the curious baby asked again: "Brother Shen, do you even understand medicine?"

Chen Xiuwen was very impressed when asked Zeng Jianing about this and that, and forced a smile and said, "I like new things more."

"Mr. Chen, has your friend mentioned that Professor Fleming has done experiments on animals?" Zeng Jiahui suddenly asked again.

At this time, Zeng Jiahui was immersed in the pathological effects of penicillin. In fact, when Fleming discovered penicillin, he did not really understand the role of penicillin. He regarded penicillin as just a new antibiotic. Although he had published a paper on penicillin in a medical journal, it did not attract attention from all parties. The same is true for Zeng Jiahui, who had read this paper. Otherwise, Penicillin would not have systematically studied penicillin by Florari and Qian En, ten years after Fleming's discovery, thus giving birth to the first antibiotic in human history. However, Chen Xiuwen proposed that penicillin can be used for postoperative infection, which suddenly attracted Zeng Jiahui's attention. He recalled the paper he had read carefully, and there seemed to be something new in his mind again, but he couldn't catch it.

Chen Xiuwen didn't know this, and smiled apologetically and said, "My friend just said that at that time. I don't know whether Dr. Fleming had conducted animal experiments."

Zeng Jiahui's face showed disappointment, and then he asked again: "Is your friend still in Shanghai? Can you introduce it to me?"

This so-called British friend was originally made up by Chen Xiuwen. He shook his head and said, "My friend returned to the UK two years ago." Then he smiled and said, "If you want to go to the UK to find him, it's better to find Dr. Fleming directly."

Zeng Jiahui also said with regret: "If you have the opportunity to meet Dr. Fleming in the future, you can discuss penicillin."

Seeing that Zeng Jiahui was not ordinary about penicillin, Chen Xiuwen asked tentatively: "Brother Jiahui, if you hand over Dr. Fleming's research materials to you, do you see if you can use penicillin for clinical practice?"

Zeng Jiahui shook his head and said, "This is very difficult. First of all, we don't know whether penicillin can be used for postoperative infection; secondly, from research and refining to animal experiments, this is a rigorous scientific process, and it cannot be used for clinical trials without being sure."

"What if we know it can be used for postoperative infection?" Chen Xiuwen asked again.

Zeng Jiahui's face showed a slightly excited expression, and then sighed and said, "Even if I can confirm that it cannot be completed by my own strength, I still need a complete research team and equipment. If the pharmaceutical factory I worked in the United States might have such conditions to conduct research, it would be a pity..." Speaking of this, Zeng Jiahui suddenly sighed again and did not continue.

Because the people sent by Tang Wenbin have not found Fleming and have not obtained his research patent, Chen Xiuwen couldn't say anything to Zeng Jiahui, and asked casually: "I wonder which pharmaceutical factory in the United States is high?"

Because everyone has a common language, Zeng Jiahui's attitude towards Chen Xiuwen is not as cold as before. He smiled bitterly and said, "After graduation, I was conducting drug research in a pharmaceutical company in the United States, called Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately, after the Great Depression, it was in a slump and was about to go bankrupt. Otherwise, I wouldn't have returned to China so soon."

"Oh, Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company, what, are you talking about Pfizer Pharmaceutical?" Chen Xiuwen thought the name was familiar at first. At the same time, a blue diamond-shaped pill suddenly appeared in his mind and jumped up from the chair. Viagra, commonly known as "Viagra", was produced by this company. Pfizer Pharmaceutical, yes, it is this company, the world's largest pharmaceutical company, with a market value of nearly 200 billion US dollars. It is about to go bankrupt in this era, which sounds very incredible to Shen Xiuwen.

Zeng Jiahui was startled by Chen Xiuwen's actions and asked with a strange look: "Why, Mr. Chen knows this pharmaceutical company? This company can only be regarded as an ordinary medium-sized company in the United States, and it is not big."

Chen Xiuwen didn't care about Zeng Jiahui's questions and asked quickly: "Brother Jiahui, do you think Pfizer Pharmaceutical is about to go bankrupt?"

"Yes, after the Great Depression, the company's orders dropped sharply and the company laid off employees significantly. Even researchers like us were given a long vacation and only received 30% of their salary." Zeng Jiahui nodded and replied.

"Well, Brother Jiahui, then you are still an employee of Pfizer Pharmaceuticals. By the way, you just said that Pfizer is not big, so will it be sold now? If it is sold, how much will it cost?" Chen Xiuwen was really blinded by this amazing news and asked incoherently.

Zeng Jiahui was also confused. He didn't understand why Chen Xiuwen wanted to see a treasure for a pharmaceutical company that was unknown and was about to go bankrupt. He also answered according to Chen Xiuwen's idea: "I don't know whether to sell it or not, but if the company has not improved recently and someone wants to sell it, I think they should consider it. It's better than bankruptcy? Speaking of how much it is, I can't say it well, but looking at the scale and equipment, it probably has to be around 30 million US dollars."

Three or four million dollars, hearing this number, Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but breathe a breath of air, and his head, which was a little hot just now, calmed down. Three or four million dollars, which is between 16 or 7 million dollars, which is equivalent to 300 dollars, which is between 16 or 7 million dollars. With his personal ability, Chen Xiuwen could not do it at all. Unless the old man took action, it might be possible. However, in the last call from Tang Wenbin, the old man complained about him wanting to buy Fleming's research patent, let alone spending so much money to acquire an American pharmaceutical factory that is about to go bankrupt.

When Chen Xiuwen came to his senses, he found that the three young and old Zeng family in the room looked at him with surprise. Zeng Jianing, the curious baby, asked with a look of disbelief: "Brother Shen, do you want to buy the pharmaceutical company my brother has in the United States?"

"Mr. Chen, I can see that you are very interested in pathology and pharmaceuticals, but if you want to acquire Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, I still want to advise you to think carefully. Although I personally hope it can get out of the predicament." Zeng Jiahui said to Chen Xiuwen with a serious look on his face.

"Liberation, do you think of Jinggong or cousin Zhan want to invest in a pharmaceutical company?" Zeng Shixian asked unexpectedly.

"This, this is my personal opinion for the time being. When I was in Shanghai, I heard an American friend mention this Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company, and he said that it is a very promising pharmaceutical company. The domestic situation is unstable, so I would like to suggest that my father increase overseas investment and prevent it from happening from time to time." Chen Xiuwen had to bring out another American friend.

"Hehe, Brother Shen, I didn't expect that you have many foreign friends. You have all kinds of countries." Zeng Jianing couldn't help but smile.

Chen Xiuwen couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

Zeng Shixian looked at Chen Xiuwen with a deep meaning and said, "Liberation, although the current situation is unstable, overseas investment must be cautious."

Chen Xiuwen knew that he was a little abrupt, so he nodded repeatedly and said, "Uncle Zeng reminded me that I just think it is promising to acquire this Pfizer Pharmaceutical, but in the end I still need my father's decision."

Zeng Shixian nodded and said nothing, but there seemed to be a curious look in his eyes when he looked at Chen Xiuwen. However, Zeng Jianing pestered Chen Xiuwen and insisted that he talk about the defensive battles in the temple store, and the fact that he was renting a hero to save the American and kill the Japanese, and the matter between him and Yu Wenwan, which made Chen Xiuwen feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Zeng Jiahui would occasionally talk to him about some things about Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, and Chen Xiuwen temporarily got rid of Zeng Jianing's 100,000 whys.

After lunch at Zeng Mansion, he said goodbye. As soon as he returned to the camp, he saw Zheng Huaishan hurried in with a telegram in his hand.

"The Yingzuo is the telegram from Manager Tang in Shanghai."

Chen Xiuwen's first reaction was that penicillin was famous, so he quickly took the telegram and read it. The content on the telegram was very simple, that is, Dr. Fleming had found it, but it would cost 50,000 pounds to buy his research patent on penicillin, which was equivalent to 400,000 oceans. The amount was too large, and the old man disagreed.

Seeing this telegram, Chen Xiuwen was stunned. The old man disagreed and he had no strength. What should he do? No, he must buy this patent.
