Chapter 945 The Value of Penicillin Mass Production Technology Transfer

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the First World War, Henry Wellcome's company quickly occupied the market, even if some new pharmaceutical companies emerged, but they could not compete with his company, becoming a well-deserved leading old man.

Later, Henry Wellcome's company signed a series of orders with the British side, almost monopolizing the supply of all medicines and medical supplies for the British team and its overseas colonies, which was undoubtedly another take-off for Henry.

It is not difficult to understand why William has the confidence to throw out five tons of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, and there are people at home.

"My grandfather only had one daughter, my mother, and now that he is old, the business is mainly taken care of by my father, so I have the strength to come up with these quantities of medicine. As a gentleman, I wouldn't cheat anyone. William hurriedly explained to prove that he had this strength.

"Oh, I see. But Lieutenant Colonel William, think about it, if you were me, would you think this deal is reciprocal? Wang Liang asked.

"This?" William hesitated, indeed, thinking like this was indeed not enough for that promising scientific research base. "And what do you want me to bet on?"

William thought about it, but he really couldn't think of anything, so he took the initiative to ask Wang Liang.

"Lieutenant Colonel William, if I'm not mistaken, your father's research on penicillin is almost at the stage where it can be mass-produced, right? I don't want much, if I win, five tons of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, five hundred boxes of medical devices, and the entire technology transfer for the mass production of penicillin. I think that's fair and reasonable. Wang Liang's eyes narrowed into a line and said with a smile.

Penicillin, along with the atomic bomb and radar, is known as the three major inventions of World War II, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill once said: "Penicillin is the greatest invention of World War II." ”

As a widely used antibiotic in clinical practice, the emergence of penicillin has greatly enhanced the ability of humans to resist bacterial infections.

After 1944, with the mass production of penicillin, the supply of drugs was sufficient to treat all Allied soldiers who fought during World War II, and in addition to the wounded, it also began to be used in public medicine.

What does this mean?

So many people use it, but it's all money?

The production of penicillin also led to the birth of a family of antibiotics, whose use extended life expectancy by an average of 24 years.

To put it simply, whoever masters the technology of mass production of penicillin will become a trillionaire.

To give a simple example, a 400,000-unit penicillin sold for $35 in 1942-1943, and even after it was mass-produced in 1944, the price remained at $3-$5 for a long time.

Penicillin is very widely used, this is a life-saving drug, who would be stingy with that little money, 10,000 people buy that is 350,000 US dollars, 1 million people buy that is 35 million US dollars, 10 million people?

$350 million!

Even after the cost is removed, the profit is quite large.

Will it only be used by 10 million people?

In 1942, the population of the Soviet Union was 200 million, and the population of Germany was 70 million.

"This, I, I'm afraid I don't have the right to make this decision." Obviously, William did not expect Wang Liang to make this request, and indeed the transfer of penicillin mass production technology can be balanced with 50% of the equity of the base.

"Then I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel William, I'm afraid we can't make this gamble, and in my opinion, this is the only thing that makes sense." Wang Liang smiled slightly, then turned around and left, preparing for the game.

William kept swallowing saliva, his throat was dripping and shaking, and the expression on his face was quite rich, and without exercise, beads of sweat were rolling down.

Now William is doing a huge ideological struggle, to bet or not to gamble?

Thinking of this, the pictures of Wang Liang playing came to his mind, and William was confident that he would use technology to win against Wang Liang.

"Okay, I'll bet! Make a bet on this condition! William grabbed Wang Liang and said.

“OK。” Wang Liang said.

Wang Liang felt that he was going to take off, and when he got the mass production technology, he immediately asked Wang Haiyang to set up a production line on Dipping Sauce Island and industrialize production, which could be regarded as driving the economic prosperity of Dipping Sauce Island.

The big guys didn't know what Wang Liang and William were muttering about for a long time, and they were confused.

"Harrier, what did you say the boss said to that Englishman?" Wei Dayong poked the harrier on the side and asked.

"What are you talking about, it must be that the boss is going to gamble again, trick the British, and make money from the British." The old driver's harrier has a vicious eye.

"Wang Liang is a little overconfident, I heard about this William when I was studying in the UK, he was the champion of the table tennis singles tournament in the City of London at that time, ranked in the top five in England, and was an absolute master." Xu Chu stood up and said.

After a few days of getting along, Xu Chu has become a good friend with Wei Dayong and Harrier.

"This yellow hair is so powerful? it, I can't lose. Ou Xiang was shocked, he originally thought that William was just a waste of wood.

"Hmph, don't lose? Is it strange if you don't lose badly? I don't look at my own catties, and I dare to argue with my opponent, it's really not light or heavy. Luo Wei heard a few people muttering beside him, and his adjutant was also fighting with the Eighth Route Army, he couldn't bear it anymore and came over to interject.

"Chief Luo, what you said about it, how can you turn to the British?" Liu Rui asked angrily.

"It's not that I'm looking for the British, it's that people are really powerful, has Wang Liang played table tennis? If you look at his rackets, and then look at other people's, the equipment is several grades worse. Luo Wei pointed to the rackets of the two and complained.

Originally, Luo Wei was still a little hostile to Wang Liang, but with Wang Liang's football and table tennis, Luo Wei felt that he was more or less a fan of Wang Liang.

I always longed for Wang Liang to win, but I always acted in the opposite tone to hide my true thoughts.

"Why don't we play some lottery too?" The harrier rolled his eyes and felt that his chance to make a fortune had arrived.

"How do you play?" Luo Wei also came to be interested.

"Place a bet, pile up a prize pool, and when the time comes, win a side to share the property in the prize pool." Harrier Road.

"Okay, over!" Luo Wei nodded his appreciation, he usually likes to play this kind of thing, but now that he has the opportunity to make money, how can he let it go.

The two pots here immediately attracted countless people to come and watch.

Many foreign friends have also donated generously, throwing money into it, wanting to make a profit.
