Chapter five hundred and fifteen the shrewd businesswoman
Because he couldn't figure out why the Japanese army did such a move, Gao Jiu was not sure of making up his mind. However, he believed that destroying the Japanese airport was crucial to the upcoming Nanyang Battle. Moreover, their troops had already arrived here, especially those pilots who came from Chongqing to Nanyang. Everyone had worked so hard and were unwilling to give up easily.
He said: "Brother Wang, my opinion is to temporarily cancel the action tonight. Let's find a place nearby to hide it and make a decision after you have figured out the situation."
Everyone's mood was actually similar to his, and they were unwilling to give up just like that, so they agreed with Gao Jiu's opinion and found a relatively remote small village to camp here for the time being.
Later, Gao Jiu sent telegrams to the underground party and the Military Control Commission, asking them to investigate the reasons why the Japanese army suddenly strengthened the defense of the airport, and at the same time sent investigators to the near the airport for investigation.
The underground party and the Military Control Commission quickly replied to the telegram, saying that they would do their best to investigate.
After breakfast the next day, Gao Jiu had nothing to do, so he came to Ouyang Xue's room.
Ouyang Xue and Gao Jiutian are each other. Even when Gao Jiu was in Wuhan before, they had a rare opportunity to get along with each other alone. She did not expect that in this small village, the two of them could express their lovesickness alone.
In the eyes of everyone, Ouyang Xue is a dignified, generous, elegant and reserved goddess with a royal sister style. At this moment, she is like a little woman, snuggling in Gao Jiu's arms and soft words, smiling quietly, showing her feminine and gentle side to her heart.
Throughout the morning, Gao Jiu did nothing and just stayed with Ouyang Xueni, enjoying the warm world of two people.
After lunch, news from all aspects still did not come, and Gao Jiu still came to Ouyang Xue's room. I don't know how many times the sticky words in the morning were said, so Gao Jiu shifted the topic to something familiar to Ouyang Xue. He asked about the work related to the aviation committee.
Ouyang Xue said worriedly: "As the National Government's finances become increasingly difficult, the Air Force's funds are becoming increasingly tight, and the inventory of both aircraft, oil and ammunition has been reduced to a point that is almost unsupportable.
Today's Guo Army Air Force has basically lost its ability to conduct large-scale air combat. The current air force is mainly used to defend several existing cities and cannot actively launch attacks on the Japanese army.
The lady was very worried about this matter. For the Air Force's funds, she often held some fundraising activities, but the funds she could raise were getting less and less."
Ouyang Xue has participated in fundraising activities in the Air Force many times and has also obtained a lot of funds from her family.
However, although Ouyang Xue's hometown has not been occupied by the Japanese army, more than half of their property is in the Japanese war zone, and many of them have been plundered by the Japanese. The scale of their business has been reduced to less than one-quarter of the previous one, and their income has been reduced to one-eighth of the previous year.
When Gao Jiu heard this, he remembered penicillin and said, "Ruoxue, do you still remember the antibiotic I told you before? I think it's time to develop it.
I can conclude that once this antibiotic comes out, it will not only save the lives of countless anti-Japanese soldiers, but also bring unimaginable wealth. You graduated from a famous medical university, and I hope you can do this."
Ouyang Xue said: "Brother Jiu, you mentioned this to me before. Although I am not willing to work in medical work again, for you, Brother Jiu, and for this country, I am willing to pick up my professional knowledge again."
After saying that, she looked at Gao Jiu affectionately.
Gao Jiu held her hand and pulled her to sit on his lap. He kissed her fair cheeks and said gently: "Ruoxue, I, Gao Jiu, have no regrets in my life with a confidante like you."
Ouyang Xue's cheeks were rosy and her eyes were circulating. She said happily: "Brother Jiu, knowing you is God's gift to me. I am willing to do anything for you."
Next, the two discussed the specific development and production of penicillin.
Ouyang Xue said that after the task was completed, she returned to Chongqing and asked her wife to resign, specializing in the development and production of rebellious Xilin.
Gao Jiu suggested that Ouyang Xue go to the United States. Ouyang Xue graduated from the American Medical College, with a large amount of scientific research resources there, and the United States is stable and has good production conditions. In all aspects, it is a good choice.
On this point, Ouyang Xue was inconsistent with Gao Jiu. She said: "Brother Jiu, what you said makes sense. However, if important strategic materials such as penicillin are produced in the United States, they will definitely be controlled by the US government and the military. Although we can make money, it is difficult for us to get orders for the drugs produced in our country.
Even if the order can be obtained and after production is produced, the Japanese Navy will be blocked at sea, and it will be very difficult to transport it back to China, and it will not meet the needs of the vast number of injured and sick people in China.
Another point is that when producing penicillin in the United States, all the huge taxes generated by enterprises must be handed over to the US government. If this money can be used in the domestic war of resistance, it will play a major role.
Regarding the technical issues of development and production, you already have relevant formulas and no longer need to continue to develop them. Although our country is backward, it is still possible to do it as long as we invest a certain amount of money and establish a corresponding production line.
To sum up, I think antibiotics are produced in the country, with greater value and more in line with the needs of the anti-Japanese war."
Gao Jiu said: "What you said makes sense, but where can the production site be located?"
The most important reason why Gao Jiu hopes to go to the United States to develop and produce penicillin is to consider the issue of production base. Under the current circumstances, domestic production can only be carried out in the government. However, the government is very complicated, and the huge interests of penicillin will definitely attract bloody competition among all forces, and may even be forcibly controlled by the government. It is very likely that Gao Jiu will not only not make money, but will also become a thorn in the eyes of some people, and it will be removed quickly. Gao Jiu does not want to get into such a big trouble.
Setting the manufacturer in the area controlled by the underground party is also an option. However, due to the political views of the government and the underground party, if Gao Jiu does this, it will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction from the government. Not only will Gao Jiu be unlucky, but it will also seriously affect the relationship between the government and the underground party. The situation of joint anti-Japanese war that has finally formed is likely to break down.
As for setting up production sites in areas controlled by the Gui Army, Yunnan Army, and Shanxi Sui Army, it is even more unimaginable that they will definitely be controlled by them and become their tool for making money. In order to obtain huge benefits, they will take risks, and Gao Jiu will definitely not have good results.
A man is innocent and a treasure is guilty of possessing a treasure. Who gave penicillin such huge economic benefits?
Gao Jiu once thought about producing penicillin in Taohua Mountain. However, by the same token, if Taohua Mountain really starts producing penicillin, the Japanese devils would definitely attack Taohua Mountain in order to control this strategic resource.
The reason why the Taohua Mountain guerrillas can barely support it is because there are conflicts within the Japanese army in Shandong and cannot form a joint force to attack Taohua Mountain with all their might.
For the sake of penicillin, the Japanese will definitely go all out to attack Taohua Mountain. At that time, what is waiting for Taohua Mountain will definitely be a catastrophe.
During the War of Resistance Against Japan, there was a very popular saying: In such a huge China, it was impossible to put down a calm desk.
Now, Gao Jiu also lamented that the huge China cannot accommodate pharmaceutical factories that produce penicillin.
After Gao Jiu told Ouyang Xue about her concerns, Ouyang Xue laughed. She said, "Brother Jiu, you are thinking too much. In this matter, I think you only need to consider two points. First, how can the produced medicines be convenient for the majority of anti-Japanese military and civilians to use? Second, how do you get corresponding benefits from it?
My suggestion is that we will jointly invest in this matter with our Ni family and Brother Jiu to establish a joint-stock pharmaceutical company. Among them, our Ni family will take out part of the shares and secretly give them to our wife. Who else in the country dares to cause trouble for us?
The pharmaceutical factory is built in Chongqing, where the guo army is protected by heavy troops. If the Japanese cannot fight in, the pharmaceutical factory will be safe.
As for other forces in various fields who want to take over the robbery, are you still afraid that they will not succeed? At that time, your Taohuashan guerrillas will be responsible for the security of the pharmaceutical factory. Who dares to stroke your tiger beards if those who steal?”
Gao Jiu's eyes lit up and nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. Do you have any other ideas? Let's continue."
Ouyang Xue said: "Brother Jiu, with the support of his wife, our Ni family will operate. All the approval procedures are very simple, and no one will cause trouble for the government.
The produced drugs can be used directly on the anti-Japanese military and civilians, eliminating the U.S. taxes and long-distance transportation costs, so the anti-Japanese military and civilians can purchase these drugs at relatively cheap prices.
Moreover, the large amount of taxes generated by pharmaceutical companies are directly handed over to the civil government, which can also play a great role in the anti-Japanese cause. To sum up, it is of great significance.
As for various other relationships, we will take out some profits from them and make some reservations. I think it will definitely be very smooth from product development, land acquisition and factory construction to future production, transportation and sales."
Gao Jiu nodded frequently when he heard Ouyang Xue's words. He now figured out the complex situation inside the country, just as Ouyang Xue said, it was easy to deal with. Just hold a thigh and find the most powerful person to join the group, and then don't be afraid of spending money, take out part of the profit and deal with it everywhere, and you can completely solve the troubles from all aspects.
Gao Jiu is not a person who monopolizes his interests. He has always been willing to cooperate with others and share benefits when doing things. Ouyang Xue’s suggestion Gao Jiu can recognize it.
Then, Ouyang Xue said confidently: "There is no need for all the operations of this matter, Brother Jiu, you don't have to bother with me, I can complete it alone."
Ouyang Xue has obviously conducted in-depth research on this matter. On the one hand, she did this to increase the country's fiscal revenue and provide relatively cheap antibiotics to the majority of anti-Japanese military and civilians, and also to allow Gao Jiu to obtain huge economic benefits.
Of course, she also has her own little plan. Now their Ni family's industry has been seriously affected and its strength has declined greatly. Through the production of penicillin, it can also obtain huge economic benefits for her family. At the same time, tying her wife to the chariot of interests can also consolidate her family's status in the country.
Gao Jiu quickly figured this out, and he praised sincerely: "Ruoxue, no wonder your Ni family wants to choose you as the heir to the family. It seems that the old man is really eye-catching."
Ouyang Xue smiled coquettishly and said, "Brother Jiu, are you praising yourself? Are you saying that you are very visionary to marry a beautiful woman like me who values both beauty and wisdom!"
Speaking of this, she felt that her words were a bit explicit, as if she was in a hurry to marry Gao Jiu. So she felt shy and a red cloud flew on her fair cheeks.
Gao Jiu looked at the shy Ouyang Xue and loved her very much. He said in a playful tone: "Ruoxue, are you in a hurry to get married?"
Ouyang Xue was even more shy by Gao Jiu's teasing. She stretched out her white fist and gently hit Gao Jiu's shoulder. Her eyes flicked and said, "Bah! Who wants to marry you, the bandit mountain king."
Gao Jiu laughed and said, "I just want you to be my wife in the village."
At 4 pm, news came from the underground party.
It turned out that the 7th Division of the Peace Army arrived in the Nanyang area and joined the 41st Army of the Guo Army. Such a big thing cannot be hidden from the Japanese. The Japanese army in Henan investigated the situation related to this matter and knew that this matter was related to Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu should have escorted the 7th Division of the Peace Army to Nanyang.
Gao Jiu once attacked the Japanese airport in Jinan and the Japanese airport in Peiping. It happened that Gao Jiu and others captured the Japanese reconnaissance plane. The Japanese army was missing because the reconnaissance planes were missing, which attracted the attention of the Japanese army. They were worried that Gao Jiu would attack the Japanese airport, so they specially strengthened the protection of the airport.
Then, the Military Control Commission reported another piece of information that Gao Jiu had arrived in Nanyang. The Japanese army had already known that the Japanese army's mobilization was mainly aimed at Gao Jiu.
After Gao Jiu informed everyone about this situation, Wang Jindong, Chief of Staff Liu, and Wang Zhongquan, the pilot's commander, felt that the original plan to attack the Japanese airport could not be implemented.
