After dinner, Yu Zhantang returned to the Huamao Hotel where he stayed. Yu Wenwan, as the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and Chen Xiuwen happened to come back, so of course he lived in the Shen family compound.

Chen Xiuwen originally wanted to talk to the old man at night, but when he saw that the old man had been busy for a day and looked tired, he had to give up. When he returned to the room, his sister Chen Xiuping, who was stern, was pulled to the corner of the stairs and warned: "Xuwen, treat Wenwan well, Wenwan is a good girl. It is hard to find such a wife with a lantern. Don't be ungrateful."

It was the first time that Chen Xiuwen saw his sister who had always loved her, and said to herself with this attitude, "Sister, what are you saying? Isn't it a good relationship between Wenwan and me?" As he said that, he saw Chen Xiuping staring at him with apricot eyes and asked guiltily: "Sister, what did Wenwan tell you?"

"It's worth saying that Wen Wan came today, and I could see something wrong. Otherwise, after she came back from Nanjing, she would stay at her parents' home and not go home, but she would have to send her over." Chen Xiuping said without hesitation.

Chen Xiuwen was also a little surprised. It turned out that Yu Zhantang took the initiative to send his daughter to him. He was stunned and didn't say anything.

Chen Xiuping poked Chen Xiuwen's forehead with his finger and said, "Boy, I warn you not to be flirting with flowers and plants outside again. He has become a family member and is still so ignorant. He thinks about something unrealistic all day long."

Seeing his sister's aggressive look, Chen Xiuwen said in his heart: "Unfortunate." But he couldn't say that he and Yu Wenwan were fake couples. If he had known that now, it would be better not to get married at the beginning.

After finally getting rid of Chen Xiuping's chatter, Chen Xiuwen returned to his room on the third floor. Yu Wenwan was sitting at the table reading a book. When she saw Chen Xiuwen coming in, she opened her mouth and wanted to say hello, but she still couldn't make a sound.

Chen Xiuwen took out a quilt from the closet and spread it on the sofa in the outer room, and lay down. Every time they returned to the Shen family courtyard, Chen Xiuwen always consciously slept on the sofa and let Yu Wenwan sleep on the bed. Originally, Chen Xiuwen wanted to say hello to Yu Wenwan for the unhappiness he had in Nanjing that day, but thinking about his own experience on behalf of others, Yu Wenwan sat there and ignored him, so he gave up.

Yu Wenwan originally wanted to ease the relationship with Shen Xiuwen, but when she saw Chen Xiuwen entering the door, it seemed that he didn't exist at all, and she suddenly felt dissatisfied. She closed the book in her hand and wanted to go to the inner room, but after standing up, she hesitated for a moment and turned around and walked to the sofa.

When Chen Xiuwen saw Yu Wenwan coming over, he was surprised and quickly sat up from the sofa and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Perhaps Chen Xiuwen's attitude was quite decent, Yu Wenwan thought about it for a moment and said, "I heard from your sister Xiuping that you want to buy a British patent, but my uncle didn't agree. You are back for this matter this time, right? If you really want to buy it, I can help me."

Chen Xiuwen didn't expect to take the initiative to tell him this, and said in surprise: "What I want to buy is just a research patent, and the other party offered a price of 50,000 pounds."

Yu Wenwan frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand what research patent you want to buy. No 50,000 pounds is not a big amount. I can give it to you tomorrow."

"This is not suitable." Five thousand pounds were not a big deal in Yu Wenwan's mouth. Chen Xiuwen rubbed his hands and said while sighing.

Yu Wenwan seemed to have never expected that she would come to her door with her own voluntarily, but Chen Xiuwen said, "This is not suitable." He was immediately resentful and said coldly: "No matter what, you have helped me a lot in the past two years, even if you are grateful to you."

Chen Xiuwen hugged his hands in front of his chest and looked at Yu Wenwan coldly. If Yu Wenwan really wanted to help him, Chen Xiuwen would definitely be grateful, but Yu Wenwan said that he was thanking Chen Xiuwen for being a fake couple. Chen Xiuwen suddenly felt that his self-esteem had been severely hurt. He smiled without anger and said, "Tsk tsk, 50,000 pounds, 400,000 pounds, Miss Yu is really a big deal. Sorry, I, Chen Xiuwen, can't afford such a generous gift from you. Besides, I got married to you because of the pressure of my family. I can't say who will help anyone, and there is no need to say thank you. I have received your feelings. Don't worry, as long as you propose it, I, Chen, will definitely abide by the original agreement."

"You..." Hearing Chen Xiuwen's mockery with guns and sticks, Yu Wenwan's face turned red, and a fog rose in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Dog bite Lu Dongbin, but she doesn't know the good people's hearts." After that, she turned around and walked inside.

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, he actually compared himself to a dog. He suddenly became angry and shouted at Yu Wenwan's back: "No need, I don't need your kind heart." After that, he lay on the sofa angrily, picked up the quilt to cover his face.

When he woke up early the next morning, Chen Xiuwen ignored Yu Wenwan who was sleeping in the inner room. He planned to formally discuss with his old man about purchasing patents and purchasing Pfizer Pharmaceuticals in the United States today. After a brief wash, he came downstairs.

The old man and Tang Wenbin and his wife had already stood up. Chen Xiuping saw Chen Xiuwen coming down alone and asked, "Why are you coming down alone, Wen Wan?"

"She is still asleep, maybe she feels a little uncomfortable." In the past, every time she goes home, Yu Wenwan would get up early and go downstairs with Shen Xiuwen. It is estimated that the two of them had a very unpleasant quarrel yesterday and were still asleep in anger. Chen Xiuping found a reason to deal with it.

"If you feel uncomfortable, you should ask the doctor to see you." The old man turned around and said, then he ordered Chen Xiuping: "You go up and take a look. If Wen Wan is really uncomfortable, then call Dr. Chen to come over."

Chen Xiuping responded, suddenly realized something, looked at his younger brother with a deep meaning, and turned around with a smile. Chen Xiuwen was a little confused, and didn't know what his sister meant. He grabbed his head and sat down for breakfast. After picking up a bowl of porridge in three mouthfuls, Chen Xiuwen saw that the old man put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and was about to get up, and quickly stood up and said, "Dad, I have something to talk to you."

When Mr. Shen heard this, he suddenly showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face, but when he looked up and saw the solemn and determined look on his son's face, Mr. Shen couldn't help but feel very surprised. Finally, he nodded and said, "Go to the study and talk."

In the study, Mr. Shen patiently listened to Chen Xiuwen's idea of ​​the penicillin that he had never heard of. The reason why he was patient was because he saw from his son's expression that his son had grown up and had his own thinking and understanding. But he did not believe that the penicillin that Chen Xiuwen said would have such great benefits, and he also needed to use nearly one-quarter of his property to invest in this project that he thought was illusory.

The old man unexpectedly did not show the rage that Chen Xiuwen imagined, but sighed and said, "Luan, although I don't know where you heard of this so-called penicillin, I don't believe what you said just now. This penicillin will have such great benefits. It will not only make our Shen family a world-class rich man, but will also be of great help to the country." As he said, the old man waved his hand to block Chen Xiuwen's argument and continued, "In the past, I only knew that you two were not interested in business at all. Your elder brother was full of revolution at the time, and you were naughty since you were a child. However, finally, you two brothers did not disappoint me and both became soldiers and served the country. Since the path you chose, you must be consistent and don't have those messy and unrealistic ideas."

The old man's earnest words touched Chen Xiuwen. At this time, the old man changed his usual image of a strict father, just like when Chen Xiuwen killed the Japanese and was forced to go to Nanjing to apply for the Central Military Academy, the old man's earnest warning. But Chen Xiuwen gritted his teeth and said, "Dad, you are wrong. Penicillin does have its epoch-making significance, and the impact it will have in the future will be unimaginable, just like when we were holding big swords and spears in our hands, foreigners were already foreign guns and cannons. Once penicillin appears, it is foreign guns and cannons. Now the other antibacterial drugs are just big swords and spears. Dad, you said just now that I am a soldier, and the duty of a soldier is to defend the country. But you have to see that our once-decent power of the Celestial Empire is now What is it like, poverty and backward, even the Japanese slaves who used to be vassals came to the door, not only occupied our three northeastern provinces, but also occupied our North China, Shanghai, and even our entire China. What is this because? It is because we are backward, we cannot build planes, warships, cannons, and we do not have the technology that leads the world. But now we are in front of us with such an advanced technology, why don’t we take it in our hands before others pay attention? As long as we can master a technology that is ahead of the world and master this epoch-making pharmaceutical technology of mankind, it can not only save the lives of thousands of people, but also because this technology is in the hands of the Chinese, so that foreigners can rely on us. Dad, why don’t you believe this kind of good thing that is beneficial to the country, the people and the selfish?”

Mr. Shen was stunned by Chen Xiuwen's words. Although the changes in recent years have made him very pleased, this was the first time that his son said such righteous words to him, and he couldn't help but say: "Liberation, even if this penicillin is so valuable, we can buy this patent. But why do you have to buy the Pfizer pharmaceutical factory in the United States? Can't we run one in Shanghai?"

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, there was a way. The old man's tone began to loosen. He did not object to the purchase of patents, and even proposed to build a pharmaceutical factory in Shanghai. He quickly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Dad, the research patent in the hands of Professor Fleming in the UK is not enough to produce penicillin. He just discovered penicillin. It requires a lot of experiments and research and development to make drugs. Moreover, our factory cannot be built in Shanghai. First of all, we cannot find and build a high-quality R&D team in China at present. Even if we can find it, we can produce penicillin. Dad, have you ever thought about something that can produce great benefits? Can we keep it? Maybe it will cause a catastrophe to our Shen family."

Originally, when Mr. Shen heard that this penicillin still needed a lot of experiments and research and development, his face began to show a look of disapproval, but when he heard it, his face became serious again and nodded in agreement.

"But the United States is different. It is a democratic country with clear legal protection for private property and patents. And the Pfizer pharmaceutical company I mentioned not only has a high-quality R&D team, but also has advanced equipment. The United States has not yet recovered from the Great Depression. It is undoubtedly the best time to acquire this pharmaceutical factory at this time. Moreover, Dad, Shanghai is not safe. The Japanese will definitely fight a full-scale war of aggression against us, and Shanghai is the first to be the brunt. With our current strength, we will definitely not be able to defend it. Acquiring American pharmaceutical factories can also transfer part of our industries to the United States to protect our Shen family's foundation and your efforts over the past few decades." Chen Xiuwen said sensationally.

Mr. Shen was very shocked and stared at Chen Xiuwen in a daze, as if he had known his son for the first time. After a while, he said, "You said the Japanese will definitely beat us? Shanghai will definitely not be able to defend it?"

"If there are less than three years, the Japanese will definitely take action. Dad, think that after the Japanese occupied the three northeastern provinces, they began to get involved in our Rehe River in less than two years. For this reason, the Tanggu Armistice Agreement we signed with them has just passed for a year, and the little Japanese has been making trouble in our North China again. If they succeed this time, they will have to launch a comprehensive attack on us. At that time, Shanghai will be the first to be the traitor or we have so many factories in Shanghai, and shops will fall into the hands of the Japanese. Dad, I think you will not be willing to be the Japanese submissive people, right?" At the end, Chen Xiuwen looked at the old man's face and asked viciously.

With a "bang", the old man slapped the table heavily and said angrily: "Fuck, if you are willing to be a submissive person, why both sons will join the army?"

When Chen Xiuwen heard this, the old man swears. He knew that the old man was anxious and hurriedly said with a smile: "Dad, don't be angry, I know you don't know, I mean we have to think of a way out now, what should we do if the Japanese really come in? Our Shen family is no better than other small households, factories, equipment, and shops? You can't be cheaper to the Japanese, let them use our factory to produce military uniforms and grain to beat us."

"On that day, I even exploded and smashed it, and I couldn't get the Japanese." The old man said indignantly.

"So, we have to think of a way out now. Now we have to start slowly shrinking our scale in Shanghai, and our assets can be transferred abroad. Of course, the United States is the safest. We can also gradually transfer factories and equipment to the mainland. I have asked him to inquire about it in Wanxian. If there is a good place, we will first move our flour mill and textile mill to Wanxian." Chen Xiuwen began to slowly guide the old man's thinking.

The old man couldn't help but nodded. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that what his son said made sense.

"No, even if the Japanese want to make money in, even if we have to prepare in advance. But this penicillin is still something that is not sure after all. How can you guarantee that we can produce this medicine after buying a research patent? What if we can't make it? We spend such a large price to buy a patent, will it be wasted all the time for buying a pharmaceutical factory?" The old man suddenly came to his senses and asked Chen Xiuwen.
