readx; Although the war in Europe has not yet broken out, both sides have deployed millions of troops, and the borders of various countries have been heavily assembled. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the warships of various countries were built by riots, and all kinds of cannons and guns in the arsenal were constantly leaving the factory and being hoarded, the corresponding logistics materials were also making a large number of reserves, and as an extremely important reserve of medical supplies in the logistics materials, they were naturally valued by the senior generals of the logistics forces of various countries, and the antibiotics that had just appeared in the world's medical community had also entered the sight of the medical troops of the [***] teams, but relatively speaking, it was the world's boss Britain who acted the most rapidly in this year. At this time, Britain has no longer dominated the earth, but it is still the world's leader, with the world's best talents and scientific and technological foundation, and it is constantly experimenting with various innovative affairs, especially the navy, from dreadnoughts to super dreadnoughts, to aircraft carriers to later aircraft carrier inclined decks, and then to steam catapults, which are all made by the British.

The emergence of antibiotics also quickly attracted the attention of the British [***] side, so that the first country to propose the purchase of antibiotics as military supplies, and at this time the generals of the military logistics forces of Germany and France did not know what antibiotics were.

However, the procurement of antibiotics has encountered obstacles, because the production of Tongkui Pharmaceutical is extremely limited, and Tongkui Pharmaceutical has also severely refused to sell patents, so that the idea of using authorized production in the UK has failed, and the British pathochemists have not figured out what the antibiotic is after studying it for many months.

In this way, if Britain wants to purchase antibiotics in large quantities, it will have to adopt some political methods, which is why Juerdian is saying on this occasion.

After listening to Zhu Erdian's words, Chen Jingyun was slightly silent and said after the meeting: "Since you want to purchase it, there is no problem." I will instruct the following, let Tongkui Pharmaceutical give priority to meeting the needs of your [***] party! However, the output of Tongkui Pharmaceutical is temporarily limited, and it is unlikely that it will be fully satisfied. ”

The antimicrobial matter is only a small step in the talks between the two men, and it does not actually affect the opinions of both sides on other major issues; Chen Jingyun will not be stupid enough to use any antibiotics to blackmail Britain, and Zhu Erdian will not be so brainbroken as to give up Britain's other major interests in China for the sake of just one antibiotic. Moreover, Chen Jingyun originally came up with this antimicrobial for export in addition to his own use, and the expected big customers are naturally the major belligerents of Britain, France, Germany and Russia.

Although the plant of Tongkui Pharmaceutical in the suburbs of Nanjing has been completed and half has been completed, it has been officially put into production, although the output is not small, but when the time comes, it is still far from enough to supply many antibiotics from several belligerent countries at the same time, in fact, Tongkui Pharmaceutical's production increase plan has not stopped, after the completion of the first phase of the construction project, Tongkui Pharmaceutical has invested in the construction of the second phase of the plant, the introduction of equipment. And this second phase of the increase plan did not cost Huaxia Bank a penny, and it all relied on Tongkui Pharmaceutical's own profits to invest.

In fact, although Tongkui Pharmaceutical has only been open for half a year, and the official large-scale production has only been three or four months, but now Tongkui Pharmaceutical's monthly revenue has been as high as one million, deducting high taxes and operating expenses, net profit still accounts for more than half, and then these profits are all invested in plant construction and production equipment procurement. Although Tongkui Pharmaceutical has not been able to bring even a dime of cash income to Huaxia Bank, Tongkui Pharmaceutical has still become the most profitable enterprise among many enterprises under Huaxia Bank, even surpassing the previous unlimited scenery, which has always been a few tobacco companies supported by Huaxia Bank's cash flow, comparable to the income brought by the anti-smoking department's monopoly on opium.

From this point, it can be seen that those monopoly high-tech enterprises have the ability to absorb money, and it can be understood that once the pharmaceutical companies in history successfully develop new drugs, they are almost waiting to collect money. For pharmaceutical companies, the most important investment is mainly in the early stage of research and development, after the 21st century, the research and development of each new drug is often hundreds of millions, billions of dollars, but once the new drug research and development is successful, then it is immediately the harvest period of the enterprise, and it is not difficult for pharmaceutical companies to rely on monopoly sales to make tens of billions of dollars.

The same is true of Tongkui Pharmaceutical, but the pre-research and development time of antibiotics is relatively short, and there is information given by Chen Jingyun, so those researchers basically follow the map to test one by one, Rao is so in the early research and development of antibiotics, Chen Jingyun invested in the chemical laboratory in the hundreds of thousands, such a huge investment can only be made by Chen Jingyun, who has Huaxia Bank behind him.

If the production of Kui Pharmaceutical continues to increase, and when the time comes, it will be able to provide sufficient antibiotics to all the belligerents, then this single product may be able to surpass the foreign exchange income generated by China's traditional export commodity, raw silk.

Of course, the first thing is to increase the antibiotic production of Tongkui Pharmaceutical, and the second is to let the antibiotics enter the sight of the [***] teams, and now since the British [***] team has automatically come to the door, Chen Jingyun is naturally applauded, as for him immediately agreed to Zhu Erdian's request, let Tongkui Pharmaceutical vacate a part of the antibiotics to supply the British [***] side, as for those private markets, they naturally have to suspend one or two.

On the surface, the conversation between the two sides is friendly and boring, because the two sides have too many problems and differences between their respective positions, so it is impossible to reach an agreement on some major issues, such as the issue of customs tariff autonomy, Zhu Erdian has not given Chen Jingyun a positive response, obviously does not intend to talk about this issue, and in addition, in the concessions that the two sides talked about, Zhu Erdian claimed that these concessions were obtained in various treaties signed between Britain and China in the former Qing Dynasty, and that they had legal surnames, so not to mention that Chen Jingyun wanted to take back Hong Kong, the place that had been ceded out, and even the concessions did not want to be recovered.

Although he had foreseen that the British side would be very resolute, Chen Jingyun still did not expect that the British would be so insistent and would not even give him any leeway.

After sending Zhu Erdian away, Chen Jingyun had a gloomy face, thinking in his heart that if he accepted all the terms of the British, then the National Socialist Party would probably encounter protests from those who had loved young people, and then his prestige within the National Socialist Party and the Republican Axe would be greatly hindered.

Thinking of this, he was a little annoyed, those British are really shameless, if the British can make a slight concession on some small issues, so that he can give an explanation to the people at home, then he will naturally return the favor, and when the time comes, it is okay to give the British part of some contracts for domestic infrastructure construction in the future, and even fully support Britain on the future German issue. However, now the British are so insistent, making Chen Jingyun very passive!

Chen Jingyun, who was a little annoyed, took the initiative to mention that the current situation is unstable, and if Germany needs it, then China can increase the supply of tungsten concentrate and pig bristles and other materials to meet Germany's strategic needs.

After hearing this, Xin Ci was naturally pleased to appreciate China's friendly trade and cooperation attitude, so the two sides reached a provisional agreement in a few words, and Germany obtained 4,000 tons of tungsten concentrate from Jiangyu Mining's reserves, and it could be shipped back to China immediately.

Chen Jingyun thought that although this tungsten concentrate is not a lot of money, it can at least allow Germany to produce more weapons and let the British leave more blood! This can be regarded as a small calming atmosphere, because of the bad mood brought by Zhu Erdian's tough attitude.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jingyun tentatively asked about the issue of customs tariffs, and contrary to Chen Jingyun's expectations, the Germans actually agreed with this, claiming to support China's withdrawal of tariff autonomy to a limited extent.

However, on the issue of the concession, especially on the Qingdao issue, Xin Ci was stern, and as Chen Jingyun expected, the Germans had no intention of returning the concession at all, let alone sending Qingdao back to China on their own initiative, at least not until the official outbreak of World War I.

Chen Jingyun had expected this kind of result, otherwise he would not have started preparing for the Qingdao war now.

Of course, after the outbreak of World War I, in order to prevent Qingdao from falling into the hands of other countries, it is possible for Germany to take the initiative to return Qingdao to China, but no one can say for sure about this kind of thing, after all, except for Chen Jingyun, who believes that this world war will break out this year, everyone else knows that the war is coming, but no one knows when it will break out, maybe this year, maybe next year, maybe the year after tomorrow, and maybe even never break out. Take the initiative to return Qingdao to China before this uncertain future arrives, unless William has a fever in his head!

After talking with the envoys of many major countries in China one by one, Chen Jingyun was in a bad mood, although he had long known that it would not be easy to reclaim the tariff autonomy and the concessions, but he did not expect that it would be so troublesome.

"It seems that others won't return things by mouth alone, and they have to rely on cannons and bullets!" Chen Jingyun stood in front of the window where Yuan Shikai usually liked to stand, looking at the green leaves outside the window, and muttered something that only he could hear: "Since we can't talk about it, let's have a war!" ”
