This is a small step for Zhu Xianhai, but it is definitely a giant step for mankind.
When Helen Pharmacy was established in Buenos Aires, it was just an ordinary pharmacy, but soon its medicines would shock the entire world.
Of course, the most important thing is to apply for a patent.
The patent for "Lisong" must be obtained, but there are more patents that can be applied for. After almost a month of study, Zhu Xianhai has a deeper understanding of the pharmaceutical industry of this era.
The so-called "Western medicine" is actually not only extremely primitive, but also barbaric. The European pharmaceutical industry is known as the "watershed between modern human medicine and classical medicine". The so-called "watershed" is nothing more than extracting alkaloids from plants. And application
That’s just oral administration. Some alkaloids are extremely unsatisfactory when taken orally and may even be harmful to the human body. They require further purification, synthesis and further processing before they can be made into injections for injection.
But what about needles?
Well, the syringe has just been invented, and what is its purpose...
Even though Zhu Xianhai did not have a medical background, thanks to the "sharpening" of the college entrance examination, he is good at chemistry and has an absolutely solid theoretical knowledge base on alkaloid extraction. Those alkaloids that are not effective when taken orally can be further purified, and then
Change to injections, these are all ways to make money.
Among those alkaloids, the one that attracted him most was probably salicylic acid. As early as 1828, pharmacists isolated and purified the active ingredient salicin from willow bark. Because of its sour taste, people often called it salicin.
Acid. However, salicylic acid has not been successful as a drug. It has an extremely unpleasant taste and is very irritating to the stomach. Many patients even think that its treatment is more unbearable than the disease itself. But even so,
It is still an extremely effective pain reliever and fever reducer.
In 1897, chemists from the German company Bayer synthesized acetylsalicylic acid, which is also known as aspirin, from salicylic acid and acetic anhydride.
In the following twenty years, this seemingly inconspicuous white pill was even called a "miracle medicine" that could cure all kinds of diseases.
Of course, as we all know, they are actually treating the symptoms rather than the root cause, just relieving pain, but this is not for the benefit of all mankind.
With the help of these two drugs, "Lixin" and aspirin, Zhu Xianhai believed that he would definitely be able to make a lot of money in this era.
No, his purpose of opening a pharmacy is not to make money, but to benefit mankind!
"I can earn at least several million pounds just from these two miracle drugs!"
Standing in front of Helen Pharmacy, Zhu Xianhai stared at the sign and sighed.
From now on, our pharmacy will specialize in selling Helen's "spiritual medicine" in Troy. Although he has never studied medicine, Zhu Xianhai is no stranger to the ways to make money from medicines.
The key is not to cure the disease, but to alleviate the patient's pain, not to mention in this ignorant era of medicine, even in the 21st century. Especially the kind of painkillers that treat the symptoms but not the root cause and are very addictive.
, and it is even more popular among patients. After all, too many patients have been tortured by chronic pain for a long time, especially in this era of unscrupulous capitalists.
And now, what Zhu Xianhai has to do is to use his medicine to reduce the suffering of European and American people from being exploited by black-hearted capitalists...
This is benefiting them!
If we don't have to make millions of pounds with "Lixiao", we will be sorry for those white-skinned people!
"Next year, when the American Civil War starts, it will be a big business for millions of people!"
Looking forward to a bright future, Zhu Xianhai felt proud in his heart.
Even though we haven't used the "system" these days, we have successfully opened up a new business.
Just at this moment, Buffett got off the carriage.
"Buffett, is the patent registration going smoothly?"
The process of registering a patent for a drug is not complicated. You only need to submit the corresponding documents and pay a patent registration fee. Maybe Buenos Aires is located in South America, but the corresponding legal system is quite complete.
Not only that, Argentina has signed patent protection treaties not only with South American countries, but also with major countries such as the United States, France, and the German Federation. Patents registered in Argentina can be protected in most countries in the world. In fact, there are not many countries in this era.
.However, because the length of patent protection in each country is different, patents will still have to be registered separately in each country in the future.
"Everything goes well. The Patent Office has confirmed that no one has registered a similar patent. They will approve our patent application soon."
After hearing Buffett's answer, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"That's good. By the time the patent is issued, the factory will be almost ready for production."
"So fast!"
Buffett looked into the pharmacy. The so-called factory was a large laboratory, just behind the pharmacy.
Pharmacies in these days are like this. There is a shop in the front and a "factory" in the back. They produce and sell themselves. There is no such thing as testing or approval.
What if I take medicine and die?
If taking medicine doesn't kill you, is it still medicine?
These medicines are only for white-skinned people to take right now. Let them try the medicine on their own. Consider it a contribution to the development of human civilization!
"It's nothing complicated, just a few sets of large equipment. The key is sales,"
Before Zhu Xianhai finished speaking, Buffett said.
"Sales are not a problem. Dr. Madeleine said that the whole of Buenos Aires is now spreading rumors about our "Lixin", saying that it is a miracle drug that can rejuvenate people. Many people are rushing to buy our medicine.
After a while, those people will definitely break through the door of our pharmacy,"
What kind of doctor is today?
In this era where a miracle doctor can relieve pain, how could a small pill with such a magical effect not be welcomed by doctors?
"I can guarantee that by then, we will be able to earn at least tens of thousands of pesos. Every month!"
Seeing Buffett's excited look, Zhu Xianhai didn't even bother to talk to him. This guy is too unambitious!
We are satisfied with only 10,000. Our goal is the stars and the sea... uh,
"Buffett, we have to take a longer-term view and not be limited to Buenos Aires. We have to set our sights on Europe and the United States, where the market is broader..."
