Chapter 190: Penicillin
After arriving in Xiangjiang, Shen Long first went to the U.S. Consulate General in Xiangjiang to meet with the U.S. Consul and asked him to help invite some people from Xiangjiang-related industries to attend the gathering to discuss the sale of Marlboro to Xiangjiang.
He didn't go to Mr. Huo and Ye Han, so as not to appear too close and arouse the suspicion of others, so as to find an opportunity to contact him quietly in private.
Shen Long is now also quite an influential figure, the consul general of Xiangjiang did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent invitations to the influential businessmen in Xiangjiang, He Qidong, Luo Wenjin, Lee Hysan, Gao Koning, the four major families of Xiangjiang were all present, and He Yingjie, who is currently in charge of the tobacco industry in Xiangjiang, also came.
In front of them, Shen Long did not reveal any signs that he knew Chinese, but he was not as arrogant as ordinary Americans, so this dinner party could also be said to be a pleasure for the guests and hosts, and without much effort, Shen Long and He Yingjie negotiated the sales of Marlboro in Xiangjiang and the surrounding markets.
Historically, Ho Yingjie also acted as an agent for Marlboro's sales in Xiangjiang for decades, until 1996, when he resold the agency to Philip Morris, which is now equivalent to returning to the right to get back on track.
"You speak English very well, what's your name?" Shen Long looked at the translator assigned to him by the consulate and felt a little familiar, so he asked.
The Chinese, who was in his twenties and less than thirty, reported his name, "The little surname is Jin, the English name is Larry, you can call me Larry-Chin." ”
His English name is not enough, but the Chinese name is like thunder, he is a well-deserved hero of the secret front, widely praised among the people, but the official has not recognized his identity, Shen Long was stunned before coming to his senses, holding his hand tightly and saying, "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Jin, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you a lot during this time." ”
"It should be, it should be." Mr. Kim responded with a smile on his face.
After the banquet, Mr. Jin has been with Shen Long to serve as his translator, spent a few days and He Yingjie to negotiate the agency contract, the two sides signed their names on the contract, and then Shen Long sent Mr. Jin back to the consulate, and then quietly found Mr. Huo, at this time our party has entered Beiping, sweeping the country is just around the corner, Xiangjiang is crowded with businessmen and military officers who have fled from all over the mainland, and Mr. Huo's business is getting bigger and bigger.
Shen Long checked the list of the first batch of smuggled materials with him, mainly medicines and machinery and equipment, and the most important thing was a set of relatively advanced penicillin--penicillin production equipment, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the price of penicillin in China has remained high, hoping that this set of machines can make the country better.
After doing this, Shen Long was ready to return to the United States, but before leaving Xiangjiang, he secretly sent a letter to Mr. Jin, in which he wrote a relatively advanced penicillin industrial production process, which was just enough to use that set of equipment, and Shen Long asked him to send this set of production technology to Shanghai, and handed it over to Fan Qingsheng of the Shanghai Biochemical Experiment Office, and agreed on the code to send him a letter next time.
Mr. Jin was greatly surprised to receive this letter, his identity was extremely secret, even the leaders of the intelligence agencies in Xiangjiang did not know his identity, how did this letter come about?
He immediately reported to his superiors, who, after examining the letter, made sure that everything it said was true, and that there was nothing unusual about the Americans, so the superiors told him to continue to lurk and wait to observe, and not to act rashly to search for the identity of the sender.
They speculated that someone who had a good impression of our party might have accidentally discovered Mr. Jin's identity, but he was unwilling to expose himself, so he came up with such a solution, but Mr. Jin didn't think about what he was exposed about.
Shen Long didn't think about handing over the letter to Mr. Huo for forwarding, but considering that firstly, the eggs could not be put in one basket, secondly, Mr. Jin's channels were more secret and safer, and there might be more information that needed to be sent out of him in the future, so he took a risk, judging from the situation of going to the US consulate before leaving Xiangjiang, this adventure seemed to have succeeded.
He graduated from Jinling University and went to the University of Wisconsin Graduate School to study agricultural microbiology, and after returning to China, he studied penicillin production, extraction and clinical trials with Zhu Jiming and Tang Feifan.
In the early years, there was a movie about Marshal Chen, who became the mayor of Shanghai, and found that penicillin in the pharmacy was very expensive, so he found Mr. Fan Qingsheng, and persuaded Mr. Fan to go out of the mountain and solve the problem of penicillin production.
With this information, as well as the industrial equipment entrusted to Mr. Huo, coupled with Mr. Fan Qingsheng's professional ability, it is estimated that the penicillin production work in New China will be much better than in the original history, producing more and better quality penicillin, so that there will be fewer senseless deaths in the land of China.
In the future, Shen Long also plans to use the channels of Mr. Jin and Mr. Huo to continue to provide various materials and intelligence to New China, which can be regarded as a little contribution to the country.
When he returned to the United States, he found that New York was full of Johnny and Ingrid Bergman's advertisements for Altria's Marlboro and ESSE, and that there were more people smoking these two cigarettes on the streets.
Tom reported to Shen Long that he had arranged for people to buy more tobacco fields, expand the size of the factory, and recruit more workers in Kentucky, and was ready to expand production, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to occupy more markets.
"However, Philip Morris and Reynolds have already taken action, and the market will be more competitive in the future." The bright future is not without its pitfalls, and the two companies still occupy the majority of the market.
"It's okay, wait a little while and let those research institutes publish reports on the health hazards of tobacco!" Shen Long wasn't worried at all, he had already anticipated this situation, and had thought of a way to deal with it, and the report was still in the safe.
After returning to Corleone's mansion for a few days of rest, Shen Sheng came to Hollywood, and after spending a few pleasant days with Audrey Hepburn, he chose to leave again.
Returning to the familiar world made Shen Long feel very comfortable, this feeling of being able to shuttle back and forth between two different worlds was very good, and the next time he entered again, he would definitely bring greater changes to this world.
It seems like it's been a long time since I've practiced archery, so let's go to the archery gym tomorrow and try the longbow I bought from the elves!
