Chapter 558: Hooked

"I'm sorry, I digressed, I'll continue." Liu Lang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said apologetically.

"No, Captain Liu, what you said is very good, each of us is looking forward to your story." Fan Xudong shook his head and said, "I don't know if you believe it or not, head Liu, although your story has not been finished yet, Fan has already made a decision in his heart, even if the investment fails in the future, then I, Fan Xudong, have no complaints, because I heard a story that moved me, this business, no matter how you lose." ”

"Then I'll continue to tell this story, and let Boss Fan make it worth the ticket price." Liu Lang took a deep look at this once famous businessman in time and space, and continued: "The wheel of history will not stop moving forward because of the raging bacteria, many doctors encounter this sense of powerlessness, and basically accept their fate, fortunately, Fleming is not. The experience of World War I led him to start the research of "cross-infection" and became famous, but he has never found a way to curb bacterial infection.

It wasn't until one day in 1928 that Fleming, who was suffering from a cold, sneezed into a petri dish in the laboratory, and he discovered the mistake many days later. But a strange phenomenon happened: a new mold appeared on the sneezed petri dish, and all the mold was distributed around.

Such a strange phenomenon aroused Fleming's interest, and he began to observe this petri dish, but such a tedious work, even his assistant did not understand, and even left him altogether, fortunately, he finally did not give up, and finally confirmed his discovery on February 13, 1928: this is a new type of mold that can have a strong anti-growth and bactericidal effect, it is like a sharp bullet, and the bacterial barrier that lies in front of human medicine is shattered! So, Fleming, who was excited, personally named this new mold - penicillin! ”

At this point in Liu Lang's story, the big guys finally understand that someone has invented antibacterial drugs, which is definitely a super cornucopia. Whether it is the army or the general public, they will definitely rush to this antibacterial drug called penicillin, even if they hear it themselves, as long as there is something for sale, they must buy it back at all costs, even if it is worth exchanging the same weight of gold.

Quite simply, penicillin can save lives, but gold cannot.

It's just that Westerners have already invented penicillin, what does this have to do with us? Is it possible, can you still give us the manufacturing method? Are Westerners crazy? Is it a fool? Of course not, the greed of Westerners is what these businessmen know best.

"Hehe, are you very confused, Westerners have already invented penicillin, what does this have to do with us? Hehe, however, this epoch-making invention, in 1928, was just like a pebble thrown into the water, after Fleming's two papers on penicillin were published, almost no one in the world medical community cared about it, and although this penicillin was effective, Fleming had no way to purify it. Therefore, in the eyes of the vast majority of "experts", the so-called penicillin is just a new substance with no practical significance. In other words, this treasure called penicillin, which can change the fate of mankind, is still in Dr. Fleming's laboratory, and Dr. Fleming is still only a good doctor. Liu Lang smiled slightly.

"Head Liu, is this true? Is penicillin such a rare treasure abandoned by Westerners? Don't they claim to be the most democratic and civilized country? How can such an epoch-making invention be turned a blind eye? Zhou Zhengru jumped up excitedly, his eyes were red, and a series of questions showed the shock in the hearts of everyone present.

It must be shocking! Such an astonishing invention is turned a blind eye by Westerners whose technology far exceeds that of China? It's simply unthinkable.

"Yes, that's exactly what happened. But Uncle Zhou, don't hold Westerners too high, the so-called democracy and civilization are just those who stand at the top of society and the so-called politicians, and anyone who goes against their interests will become their enemies. Didn't the great philosopher and natural scientist Bruno just be burned to death in Campo de' Fiori in Rome? Wasn't the famous Spanish physician Servette burned at the stake because he wrote the theory of pulmonary circulation? The corners of Liu Lang's mouth twitched slightly, and he replied disdainfully.

It is not that Liu Lang worships too ideal communism and attacks Western democracy, but the fact is that wherever there are people, there is a class, and as long as there is a class, it will safeguard the interests of its own class and suppress the other class, but the weak side will always be ordinary people, this is the status quo, and it is also human nature. The so-called democracy is just a cloak of warmth, and the hideousness hidden under it is not visible to ordinary people.

"Captain Liu, what do you mean, we can also do this penicillin?" Mu Dingshan also asked impatiently.

"Yes, we can do it until everyone is identified for an invention, and even more, they can build tanks, and who stipulates that we can't build them?" Liu Lang nodded.

"But, as you said, Penicillin is still in the laboratory of that great doctor, can we do it? Also, how can we guarantee that this penicillin will be made before the Westerners? You know, if they succeeded in developing it before us, according to Western law, they would definitely declare that they have the property rights to this drug, and the rest is illegal, and it will be difficult for our government to resist the pressure from their government. When the time comes, no matter how good penicillin is, we can only watch and not use it at will, let alone sell it in large quantities. Fan Ziran studied in the United States, and he still knows a little about American law, so he asked Liu Lang very seriously.

"Hehe, Fan Gongzi asked this question very well. First of all, I can guarantee that Westerners will never find out before we do, and the United States is still too preoccupied with the economic crisis, let alone this medical invention that has been put on the shelf. As for Europe, hehe, they are still thinking about how to expand their armaments!

The second question is, can we do it? Our ancestors created the most splendid culture on the planet has proved that the yellow race is standing at the top of the planet in terms of wisdom, and there is no shortage of scientific giants like Professor Ye who combine Chinese and Western cultures in our time, Professor Ye has promised me to support the top scholars and students of Huaqing University, if we can't do this on the shoulders of others, then I think this drug may not exist in the world!

Finally, to answer your third question, about intellectual property rights, once our company's penicillin is successfully purified, I will immediately leave for the United States, set up a company in the United States, and announce the ownership of penicillin intellectual property rights, and these should not be a problem with Laura's help, just to give the Ross family some benefits. Liu Lang replied confidently.

Of course, Liu Lang was confident, because it was not until 1943 that penicillin was successfully purified and put into practical use by the Australian Flory with the support of the U.S. government ten years later, when penicillin was discovered.

What makes Liu Lang most confident is that it took four years from the start to the success of the penicillin purification project, but the success is not only because of time, but because of a small rotten watermelon skin. This little rotten watermelon peel can be provided by Liu Lang to his research team at any time, without any accidents.

"I'm joining." Fan Xudong immediately made a decision.

Almost at the same time as Fan Xudong made a decision, Zhou Zhengru and Mu Dingshan seemed to be afraid that Liu Lang would feel that he was slow, so they raised their hands together and shouted loudly: "I'll join." ”

After roaring, the two of them, who were still blushing and having thick necks just now, almost fought on the spot, and looked at each other with sympathy. The opportunists of Zhente Niang.

Seeing that several bigwigs were so decisive, the business elites who had already calculated in their hearts couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed forward one after another, saying that they wanted to join.

At this time, no one is fighting for who adds and who doesn't, Liu Lang's previous meaning is already very clear, his group company is very large, and he wants to pack everyone into it.

Liu Lang smiled, smiling brightly.

When the chips are big enough, no one can help it! The ocean of white flowers is coming.
