Chapter 13: Using Knowledge to Benefit Europe and America
The spring breeze is pleasant, the birds are chirping and the flowers are fragrant. It’s the perfect season for grilling skewers and barbecue.
Chili noodles, cumin powder, goat meat, barbecue stove, fruit tree charcoal, plus tamarisk skewers...
There seems to be none!
Lying in the yard and looking at the oak tree in the yard, Zhu Xianhai felt a pity in his heart.
Now is the perfect weather for barbecue.
If there had been such a courtyard there in the past, we would have had a small barbecue.
pity……
"Since you can't enjoy life, then do something serious!"
Lying on the deck chair, Zhu Xianhai once again grabbed a piece of grass from the grass.
This looks like just an ordinary weed. However, it is a Chinese herbal medicine. Of course, it is a bit unusual.
On the other side, this herb is controlled, but who would have thought that weeds like this are everywhere in South America.
Where is the grass here?
It’s obviously money!
If it weren't for the bottle of pornographic wine he picked up that day, he would never have remembered that he could do that business.
…
"Sofia, where is Mr. Zhu?"
After knocking on the door next door, Buffett asked
"Sir, Mr. Zhu is drinking tea in the yard."
Sophia replied.
Walking into the backyard, Buffett didn't notice that Zhu Xianhai was a little distracted and said.
"Sir, the equipment and raw materials you asked for are all ready. They are all high-quality equipment produced in England and the best in Buenos Aires. Also, I have ordered people to clear out the basement.
As your laboratory, they are installing the equipment now."
Sitting there, Zhu Xianhai hesitated for a moment.
Do you really want to get involved in that industry?
Buffett asked again:
"Sir, why do you need so many equipment and raw materials? And those weeds, are they also medicine?"
"Grass? Oh, you mean this..."
Looking at Buffy, even though he was confused, he still managed to regain his composure and said.
"do research."
"Study what?"
Buffett asked again casually.
"A new type of drug. I want to invent a drug that can treat many diseases."
Zhu Xianhai straightened his expression and replied.
If he hadn't witnessed the backwardness of medicine in this era, he wouldn't have thought of cures at all. Apart from "surgery" which was somewhat similar to the butcher's, Europe had headaches, brain fever, etc., and he would always take a sip of wine.
Compared with pills and alcohol, you can still make money from real drugs.
For now, getting involved in the pharmaceutical business may be a good choice.
In future generations, even the arms business may not be more profitable than pharmaceutical companies.
In fact, the real profit-making industry in human history has never been drugs or arms, but medicine, because pharmaceutical companies have captured the most basic human instinct-wanting to live.
Of course, a successful pharmaceutical company must have its own trump card product, the trump card product that makes it famous in one fell swoop.
Regarding this trump card product, Zhu Xianhai already has a target. One is the famous aspirin, that humble white tablet that has made Bayer Company a century-old large pharmaceutical company.
Of course, aspirin is only one of the options. Compared with it, Zhu Xianhai has another option.
And that option requires this herb.
"Do you remember what I said in the carriage last time?"
Zhu Xianhai asked.
"What did you say last time?"
"right,"
Nodding, Zhu Xianhai looked in the direction of Europe.
"When you immigrated from Europe, you should know that those factories are the main financial source of each country, and what do factories rely on to make money? Of course, workers and machines. As long as the machines have steam engines, water, and coal, they can make money.
It runs continuously, but people can't, so in those factories, workers have to work at least twelve hours a day."
"Twelve hours, are you kidding me?"
Buffett interrupted him and said.
"Do you think opening a factory is for charity? You have to work at least sixteen hours, not even including the time to go to the toilet."
Then he spoke in unquestionable words.
"Don't ask me how I know. I have had this experience. Sixteen hours is the minimum. Throughout the year, the factory only has a holiday on Sunday, and it's only half a day."
Well, I underestimated how evil-minded those black-hearted capitalists are. Sixteen hours, they are really enough... Well, there have been no kind-hearted capitalists since ancient times, they are all the owners of a bunch of chandeliers.
"That's just right. Let me ask you, what's your state like when you work for sixteen hours? Can you maintain normal energy and work continuously?"
"Is this possible? I am a human being, not a machine. Do you know why I left the factory?"
Buffett said.
"It's because one time, when I was working in the factory, my friend took a nap, and then? The machine crushed his hand. Later, even though the doctor performed an operation on him, but after the operation,
He still didn't get over it, and you know how much money the factory owner lost?"
Buffett asked rhetorically.
"The total compensation was only 50 pesos! What do you think the factory owner said? He said that the factory even suffered losses in order to clean the flesh and blood on the machines. My God, in their eyes, workers are such worthless things.
? So I left the factory, that place is definitely not for people."
Well……
I didn't expect Buffett to be such a storyteller. Looking at his angry look, it is certain that he hates capitalists deeply.
However, it seems that he may not agree with what we are going to do next.
"that……"
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Xianhai said,
"If we now have a product that can make people more energetic and work energetically for sixteen hours, do you think those factory owners will buy it?"
"purchase!"
Buffett said loudly.
"In that case, they will definitely buy it. Let alone them, if I were to run a factory, I would buy it too. However, is there such a medicine in the world?"
Looking at Buffett's doubtful look, Zhu Xianhai pursed his lips.
What is certain is that that kind of medicine will definitely be welcomed by the black-hearted capitalists of this era. Even the poor people in Europe and the United States will definitely like that stuff. Who doesn’t like the miracles that can be achieved with great force!
Earning tens of millions of pesos without using those powerful pills, and allowing people in Europe and America to experience the benefits of modern chemistry and medicine will not be worth a few years of university education!
Especially in the current situation, since opium and wine can be sold openly on the streets, and those white-skinned people don't care about their own people's health, what should we care about?
When they were sending tablets to China one by one, did they ever think about the Chinese people's bodies?
What I do...that is also to benefit them.
Yes, that’s the truth!
The first rule for time travellers: While benefiting others, you should also benefit yourself.
