Like other warlords in this year, Chen Jingyun is most concerned about the army, only when the army under his command is strong, then his power can be guaranteed, and his life can be guaranteed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so whether it is Chen Jingyun or others, such as Yuan Shikai and Lu Rongting or Tang Jiyao, everything they do revolves around the army, whether it is Yuan Shikai's big loan for the aftermath or Chen Jingyun's Sino-US aid plan, in the final analysis, it is just to obtain military spending. Even if Chen Jingyun has vigorously supported the development of industry and commerce in the past two days, the establishment of a number of economic development zones, and the investment in the development of many industries with Huaxia Bank as the core, although these are ostensibly for the development of national industry, for Chen Jingyun and even the entire military group system of Fujian and Zhejiang, there is only one purpose of these measures: that is, for the army!

Industry and commerce are developed in order to collect more taxes, at least half of which will be used as military spending!

The development of heavy industry, the core goal is also to achieve the production of weapons, throughout the Huaxia Bank under the control of the enterprises, almost can be found to be closely related to the military industry, Fuzhou Arsenal needless to say, the two shipyards are also rebuilt warships, Fuzhou Aircraft Factory is to provide a large number of primitive and excellent combat aircraft for the National Army Air Force, and the steel industry and chemical industry, known as the source of industry, are now also directly serving the military industry. Not much of the steel produced by the Southeast Iron and Steel Company is now used for civilian products, and most of it is absorbed by the two shipyards and the Fuzhou Arsenal. Not to mention the chemical industry, which is now almost synonymous with the explosives industry.

Chen Jingyun has done almost all this in the past two years to serve the army, although his development of commerce, the development of heavy industry has also brought the most basic industrial system development to the country, but it cannot hide the most direct purpose of these things: military!

In addition to these traditional projects, Chen Jingyun also worked hard to find other ways to increase more military spending and the combat effectiveness of the army!

Sulfonamides and morphine are among the many projects that Chen Jingyun has planned, and they are a few that have been successful.

Sulfonamides, the most commonly used antibacterial drug in modern medicine, Chen Jingyun has already begun to plan, he knows the name sulfonamide, and also knows some small stories about sulfonamides, and knows that sulfonamides were discovered from a red dye, although Chen Jingyun has no other news except this information, but he still found a group of chemical experts to set up a laboratory, and after giving them sufficient funds, Chen Jingyun also told them some relevant information about sulfonamides, and finally said: "Find it out for me!" ”

Although they didn't believe Chen Jingyun's words, the experts in the chemistry laboratory still collected countless red dyes and tested them one after another. Although this kind of search with a clear purpose is also difficult, it is much easier than looking for a needle in a haystack, and the experts in the laboratory brought good news to Chen Jingyun just after the New Year in 1914, saying that they had found the sulfonamide in Chen Jingyun's mouth.

Born in 1876, he first entered the Normal Hall of Beijing Normal University, and then studied chemistry at the University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom, and successfully obtained a master's degree. After Xinhai, Chen Jingyun prepared to set up Southeast University and invited famous professors and scholars everywhere, and Yu Tongkui was naturally among the invitees.

Speaking of which, it has to be mentioned that this Yu Tongkui is a distant member of Chen Yu's mother's family, although the relationship between the relatives is several generations, but this person and Yu Ruofei are cousins of the same clan. In this way, it is also related to Chen Jingyun, and Lin Changming, who was preparing for Southeast University, sent him a handwritten letter, and promised to establish a chemistry department in Southeast University, and invited him to serve as the head of the chemistry department, and then explained that Southeast University has received the support of many people, and the source of funds is not only the political axe grant, but also many wealthy businessmen who are enthusiastic about educational affairs, and there are also funds and faculty support from friends in the United States.

Under such circumstances, Yu Tongkui went to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province to serve as the director of the Department of Chemistry of the newly established Southeast University.

Of course, at that time, he had not yet come into contact with the chemical laboratory founded by Chen Jingyun, when Chen Jingyun first set up the chemical laboratory, there were only a few experts, and they were all the people who played explosives in the chemical department, and they did not understand chemical pathology. However, due to the urgency of Chen Jingyun's request and the direct financial support from Huaxia Bank, the scale of this chemical laboratory continued to expand, and in addition to researching sulfonamides, it also began to design other chemical fields.

Because the private chemistry laboratory set up by Chen Jingyun has abundant funds and equipment, it has also attracted more experts to join in, after all, it is impossible to engage in academics in the years, especially academic research that requires a lot of experimental support, without strong financial support, for example, many experts from the Department of Chemistry of Southeast University have also joined in, and Yu Tongkui entered the private chemistry laboratory set up by Chen Jingyun under such circumstances.

The progress of the sulfonamide project team can be said to be slow and smooth, and they have too many shortcuts to take, only one test after another, which took more than a year to find out the kind of sulfonamide that can be sterilized in Chen Jingyun's mouth.

After learning that sulfonamides had been found, Chen Jingyun was overjoyed, and immediately sent a message to Huaxia Bank, asking them to give more financial support to the chemical laboratory and give heavy rewards to the scientific researchers who participated in the project.

On the other hand, Chen Jingyun began to produce sulfonamides in large quantities, and Tongkui Pharmaceutical, a wholly-owned investment of Huaxia Bank, was officially established! The reason for the name Tongkui Pharmaceutical is because of the great efforts made by Yu Tongkui in the process of finding sulfonamides.

Before the construction of Tongkui Pharmaceutical's factory was completed, large-scale production was impossible, but small quantities of production could still be done, so a small amount of sulfonamides using the laboratory production model began to enter the national army.

In order to ensure the maximization of the benefits of sulfonamides, Chen Jingyun not only gave a gag order to the project team, but also asked the researchers to add a large number of meaningless but non-affecting things to the sulfonamide products, and then produce and sell them in the name of antibiotics!

Although this cannot avoid foreign scientists finding out the effective sulfonamide components from this finished product, at least it can delay time. What Chen Jingyun has to do now is to get enough benefits before foreign scientists crack the pharmacodynamic components of sulfonamides! And this process does not take too long, as long as three or four years, Chen Jingyun was able to use sulfonamides to bring huge foreign exchange income during the First World War, as for the sales volume, there is no need to worry about the price.

The pricing of new products, especially new drugs, has always been high, which has nothing to do with production costs or even R & D costs, the key is that this thing only has one of your homes, and the others do not, and there is no substitute, then people must buy your products, one yuan a piece has to buy, one hundred yuan a piece has to buy, this is the advantage of monopoly. And in order to maximize profits, pricing and sales need to be carefully studied, the pricing is too low, the profit is not big, the pricing is too high, the sales will be reduced, not every political axe is willing to spend a lot of extra money for the soldiers. There is a trade-off between sales and price, but no matter what, Chen Jingyun has made money.

In order to market sulfonamides to the countries involved in the world war in the future, it is also necessary to start a large-scale promotion now, and at the same time, in order to avoid people guessing from the name, the new drug is directly named antibiotic. There are no other antibiotics, antibiotics and other products these days, and the sulfonamide produced by Tongkui Pharmaceutical will be the first, and the name antibiotic will not cause people to mess around.

In terms of promotion, because there was no Internet, no television, and even no radio in this era, if you want to carry out propaganda in a short period of time, you can only use newspapers, so Chen Jingyun issued an order to the propaganda department of the National Socialist Party, asking the Propaganda Department of the National Socialist Party to cooperate with Tongkui Pharmaceutical to create a momentum for antibiotics, and asking for a short time to let the three words antibiotics spread all over the country. And it shows that this is a serious political task!

As a result, when Tongkui Pharmaceutical had not yet carried out large-scale mass production, the word antibiotic had begun to appear frequently in many newspapers, which told about the miraculous efficacy of antibiotics, and reported many examples, including injured soldiers of the National Army, and ordinary people who were injured and infected.

As a result, when people get sick and go to the hospital, they say, "Give me antibiotics!" ”

In addition, sulfonamide as the first effective antibiotic discovered by human beings, its efficacy is naturally effective and huge, although it is far from the boast of curing all diseases, but the effect of sterilization is still very significant, and when Tongkui Pharmaceutical urgently produced antibiotics in small batches are put into production, the first supply can not be the ordinary market of the outside world, but a large number of wounded soldiers of the national army.

Although the doctors who treated the wounded soldiers still did not believe in the antibiotics boasted in the newspapers, it was not up to them to decide on the antibiotics to be given to the wounded soldiers, but to the Nationalist Army itself, or Chen Jingyun himself.

However, what happened next was for the first time that they realized the great effect of antibiotics, and many of the wounded soldiers who they concluded that they had been seriously infected and had to have amputation sprinkled antimicrobial powder on their wounds, and the infected wounds turned out to be miraculous and improved, and finally not only saved their lives but also saved their injured legs and arms.

This situation has made those doctors also face up to the great efficacy of antibiotics, but the doctors themselves are also verbally promoted, and the promotion of a drug is no more effective than the way that doctors actively promote it verbally. After all, boasting about how effective antimicrobials are in the newspapers can only make people know the name, but it is up to the doctors to decide whether it is effective or not, and further promotion must first conquer those doctors.

The propaganda of antibiotics has almost reached the first level within a month, because the plant and equipment of Tongkui Pharmaceutical have not been completed, and now it is only a small-scale trial production, and the antibiotics produced have also been requisitioned by the logistics department of the national army, and then distributed to the troops.

Because antibiotics cannot be obtained through external channels, but antibiotics have made people believe that there is such a miracle drug that can cure all diseases through this month's intensive publicity, so there is no antibiotics on the market, but many people have opened a high price to buy, so in this case, the black market of antibiotics has naturally arisen, and a pack of 'antibiotics' in the black market has been fried to 20 yuan a pack, and it is still priceless.

If antibiotics are just a fictitious product, then even if it is hyped through publicity for a month, it will naturally fade after a long time, and the key is that this is not virtual, but the real antibacterial effect.

In this case, the news of the research and invention of an antibiotic from Far East China has also spread abroad, and with the recommendation of many famous doctors to use antibiotics, the antibiotics produced by Tongkui Pharmaceutical have been widely recognized by the medical community.

At this time, the plant and equipment purchased by Tongkui Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. also began to be put into production, and the output rose rapidly. In addition to the rapid increase in production, the antibiotics produced by Tongkui Pharmaceutical not only met the needs of the national army, but also began to supply to the private market. Although the price of antibiotics supplied by Tongkui Pharmaceutical to the National Army was not high, when it was openly supplied to the external market, the price was extremely high, and the price of one dose of antimicrobial powder was as high as 15 yuan. This price was super expensive at that time, and people at that time had a monthly income of only four or five yuan, and even the middle class belonging to the high-income group was only a few tens of yuan a month.

Therefore, a dose of 15 yuan is not even affordable for ordinary poor people, even middle-class people.

First of all, although the output of Tongkui Pharmaceutical has increased significantly, it is still unable to meet the huge demand of the market, and then Tongkui Pharmaceutical has to expand its scale, accumulate funds to build a larger scale of factories and purchase more equipment, which has no money, although the investment of hundreds of thousands of yuan in the early stage of Tongkui Pharmaceutical comes from Huaxia Bank, but Huaxia Bank can not continue to take out a large amount of investment in Tongkui Pharmaceutical endlessly. Chen Jingyun did not think about letting Huaxia Bank transfuse Tongkui Pharmaceutical, but wanted Tongkui Pharmaceutical to transfuse blood to Huaxia Bank and create more jobs and taxes at the same time.

Therefore, for the early development, it is normal for the price to be set higher, anyway, its own output cannot meet the market demand, so there is no need to worry about not being able to sell. As for the inability to serve ordinary people because the price is set too high, this is basically not within the scope of Chen Jingyun's consideration, most of the Chinese in this era cannot afford medicine, whether the sulfonamide powder is a pack of fifteen yuan or a five-day pack, those who cannot afford it cannot afford it, and they are reluctant to buy it.

Of course, the moderate price of sulfonamide powder will be reduced, and when the time comes, the price of sulfonamide can be reduced to a level acceptable to the general public after the cost of mass production is reduced.

But by no means now, what Chen Jingyun wants to do now is to develop and grow as soon as possible, instead of jumping into the abyss of death with universal values!

After the emergence of antibiotics on the market, in addition to most of them being digested in China, a small number of them also began to spread abroad, which is also the first time that those doctors in the West felt the magic from the East, antibiotics appeared in China for more than a month after a small amount appeared in Europe and the United States, but here it is not used as the main drug for surgical injuries and infections, many doctors are taking it as ' Of course, the price of a small packet has risen from 15 yuan in China to 10 pounds, and the price has soared more than ten times!

With the joint efforts of the Propaganda Department and Tongkui Pharmaceutical, the promotion of sulfonamides has spread all over major cities in less than two months, and has spread to the world, and limited by the output of Tongkui Pharmaceutical is far from meeting the needs of the market, so the price of antibiotics on the market has risen again and again, and this irrational pursuit has made many people think that antibiotics are curable, and they want sulfonamides to treat any disease.

Chen Jingyun is quite satisfied with the publicity effect of sulfonamides, and is also extremely satisfied with the success of Tongkui Pharmaceutical, Tongkui Pharmaceutical in the early month of trial production due to too little output, and there is no clear pricing, so the sales are not included in the statistics, but after the second month of large-scale production, sales have reached 500,000 in just one month, although half of them are orders from the national army, but the sales from the civilian market are also as high as more than 200,000. And this sales can be said to have exceeded their initial investment for Tongkui Pharmaceutical, which has just been established for more than two months. You must know that Huaxia Bank has only invested more than 300,000 yuan in Tongkui Pharmaceutical. In addition to production costs, Tongkui Pharmaceutical will be able to recover all the investment next month and enter the pure profit stage, and this is just the beginning, now Tongkui Pharmaceutical is still in the process of large-scale expansion, located in the suburbs of Nanjing plant is undergoing large-scale construction, these plants and additional equipment are in place, the output will continue to rise, when the profits brought by Tongkui Pharmaceutical are enough to make any company in China can not reach now, but also to the investor Huaxia Bank to bring huge profit support, Provide greater protection for Huaxia Bank's capital chain.

In addition to the development of the enterprise itself, it will also play a great supporting role in the tax revenue of the national army, because sulfonamides are strategic products, and Chen Jingyun believes that this kind of thing does not belong to a simple commercial product, and in the process of research and development and promotion, it has been supported by the National Socialist Party and the political axe department, so Chen Jingyun's heart will position this sulfonamide as tobacco, morphine, opium The same special industry, and personally ordered the Ministry of Finance to levy heavy taxes on Tongkui Pharmaceutical.

The antibiotics sold by Tongkui Pharmaceutical are fifteen yuan per pack, and five yuan of them are taxes levied by the Ministry of Finance! The tax rate is no weaker than that of the tobacco and opium industries!
