Chapter 190 Penicillin

After arriving in Xiangjiang, Shen Long first went to the U.S. Consulate General in Xiangjiang to meet with the American consul and asked him to help invite some people from related industries in Xiangjiang to attend the party to discuss selling Marlboro to Xiangjiang.

He did not go to Mr. Huo and Ye Han, so as not to appear too close and arouse others' suspicion. He just waited for an opportunity to contact them privately and quietly.

Shen Long can now be regarded as an influential figure. The Consul General of Xiangjiang did not dare to neglect and immediately sent invitations to the influential businessmen in Xiangjiang. He Qidong, Luo Wenjin, Li Xishen, and Gao Kening are the four major families in Xiangjiang. Everyone involved was present, and "Uncle He" He Yingjie, who currently controls the tobacco industry in Xiangjiang, also came.

In front of them, Shen Long showed no sign that he could speak Chinese, but he was not arrogant like most Americans, so the dinner could be said to be a feast for the guests and the host. Without much effort, Shen Long and He Yingjie The sales of Marlboro in Xiangjiang and surrounding markets have been negotiated.

He handed over the agency rights of Marlboro to He Yingjie, who sold the cigarettes in Hong Kong, Macau and other places. Historically, He Yingjie also acted as the agent for the sales of Marlboro in Hong Kong for decades, and it was not until 1996 that he sold the cigarettes. The agency rights were resold to Philip Morris, which is now back on track.

"You speak English very well. What's your name?" Shen Long looked at the interpreter assigned to him by the consulate and felt that it looked familiar, so he asked.

This Chinese man in his twenties and less than thirty years old gave his name, "My surname is Jin, and my English name is Larry. You can just call me Larry-Chin."

His English name is just that, but his Chinese name is very popular. He is a well-deserved hero of the secret front and is widely praised among the people. However, the official has never recognized his identity. Shen Long was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. She held his hand tightly and said, "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Jin. I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you a lot during this time."

"It should, it should." Mr. Jin responded with a smile on his face.

After the banquet, Mr. Jin stayed with Shen Long and served as his translator. He spent a few days negotiating the agency contract with He Yingjie. Both parties 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 had entered Peking and was about to sweep across the country. Xiangjiang was crowded with businessmen and military officers who had fled from all over the mainland. Mr. Huo's business was getting bigger and bigger.

Shen Long checked with him the list of the first batch of smuggled materials, which were mainly medicines and machinery. The most important thing was a set of relatively advanced penicillin--that is, penicillin production equipment. Domestic penicillin prices have remained high since the founding of the People's Republic of China. , I hope this machine will make the country better off.

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 the letter, he wrote about a relatively advanced industrial preparation process for penicillin, which was just right. Since he needed that set of equipment, Shen Long asked him to send the preparation process to Shanghai and hand it over to Fan Qingsheng of the Shanghai Biochemical Experimental Office, and agreed on a code for sending him a message next time.

Mr. Jin was greatly surprised when he received this letter. His identity was kept highly confidential. Even the leaders of Xiangjiang's intelligence agencies did not know his identity. How did this letter come from?

He immediately reported it to his superiors. After examining the letter, his superiors determined that what was said in it was true, and there were no unusual movements from the Americans afterwards. So his superiors asked him to continue to lurk for observation and not to conduct rash searches. The identity of the sender.

They speculated that someone who had a good impression of our party accidentally discovered Mr. Jin's identity, but was unwilling to expose himself, so they came up with such a method. However, Mr. Jin did not think about what he had. exposed places.

It's not that Shen Long never thought of handing over the letter to Mr. Huo, but considering that firstly, eggs cannot be put in one basket, and secondly, Mr. Jin's channels are more secretive and safer, and there may be more information that needs to be obtained from him in the future. This was sent out, so I took the risk. Judging from the situation I went to the U.S. Consulate before leaving Xiangjiang, the adventure seemed to be successful.

As for Mr. Fan Qingsheng, who this preparation process is to be delivered to, he is the pioneer of penicillin preparation in China. He graduated from Jinling University and went to the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin in the United States to study agricultural microbiology. After returning to China, he studied with Zhu Jiming and Tang Feifan. Production, extraction and clinical trials of penicillin.

There was a movie in the early years about how after Marshal Chen became the mayor of Shanghai, he found that penicillin in the drugstore was very expensive, so he found Mr. Fan Qingsheng. He visited the thatched cottage and persuaded Mr. Fan to come out and solve the production problem of penicillin. Penicillin can be a life-saving drug. Mr. Fan’s life can be said to be filled with countless lives.

With this information, the industrial equipment entrusted to Mr. Huo to be sent there, and Mr. Fan Qingsheng’s professional ability, it is estimated that the production of penicillin in New China will be much better than in the original history, producing more and with better quality. Good penicillin will reduce unnecessary deaths in 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 information to New China, which can be regarded as his own contribution to the country.

After returning to the United States, I found that New York City was full of advertisements for Altria's Marlboro and ESSE made by Johnny and Ingrid Bergman, and more and more people smoked these two cigarettes on the streets.

Tom reported to Shen Long that he had arranged for people to acquire more tobacco fields in Kentucky, expand the scale of the factory, recruit more workers, and was ready to expand production, hoping to take this opportunity to occupy more markets.

"However, Philip Morris and Reynolds have already taken action, and the market competition will be more intense in the future." The bright prospects are not without hidden dangers, as these two companies still occupy most of the market.

"It doesn't matter. Let's wait a while and let those research institutions release a report on the health hazards of tobacco!" Shen Long was not worried at all. He had anticipated this situation and had already thought of a way to deal with it. The report is still in the safe.

After returning to the Corleone family's house to rest for a few days, Shen Long returned to Hollywood. After spending a few pleasant days with Audrey Hepburn, he chose to leave again.

Returning to the familiar world makes Shen Long feel very comfortable. It feels good to be able to shuttle back and forth between two different worlds. The next time he enters again, he will definitely bring greater influence to this world. Variety.
