Chapter 1172: The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (24)
Shen Xijin has a map of the current distribution of arsenals in the country. There are as many as forty large and small, and there are more than a dozen in the coastal provincial cities alone. He is familiar with the arsenals in the north, but he only knows one in the south. people.
There is currently only one arsenal in Haicheng. It used to be called Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, but now it is called Machinery Bureau.
But the Machinery Bureau has always been a government property and is currently taking orders from the commander-in-chief.
If they approached Marshal Zhang with blueprints and money, he would be very willing to cooperate with them, but neither Xu Yin nor Shen Xijin wanted the warlord to get involved.
Xu Yin knew the general trend, but Shen Xijin had no good impression of the warlords because of his family's downfall and the death and separation of his relatives due to the warlords. One was motivated by the rise and fall of the nation, and the other was burdened with family hatred, so he simply decided to do it himself!
"After the Chinese New Year, I am approving a piece of land in the name of starting a machinery factory. How about choosing the small forest behind the pharmaceutical factory? Although it is called a small forest, the area is actually not small, and there are many towering ancient trees. If used properly, these Trees are natural barriers. Besides, with this grove, there is no need to purchase additional wood used in production, and it attracts less attention from the outside world, which is the best of both worlds."
Xu Yin took Shen Xijin to climb to the attic and pointed to the small woods behind.
"At that time, a courtyard wall will be built to encircle the two factories, a tunnel will be dug inside, and an underground warehouse will be built. All production that obviously belongs to the military industry will be placed underground. The ground will be ordinary mechanical production, and there will be no fear of official raids. "
Shen Xijin agreed with her proposal, but——
"I'm afraid the funds for a large-scale construction project..."
"I said, leave the money to me. I don't have much else but money."
"..."
Shen Xijin was amused by her.
Xu Yin was dazzled by his starry smile, and sighed in her heart: Comrade Xiaojin is so alluring without even realizing it.
The two of them reached an agreement, and after the New Year, Xu Yin went to appraise the land.
It’s still a box of big yellow croakers. If you buy enough land, donate it.
The government likes to deal with stupid foreigners like Xu Yin who have a lot of money. First, they give money easily and buy it when the price is right. They rarely bargain. Any extra large yellow croakers will be donated to the government to build roads, but in the end it is not the case. Will it fall into their pockets? Of course the roads will be repaired, but it is a public expense and they do not need to pay for it privately. Secondly, unlike other factory owners in the country, they are all staring at the limited amount of land in the city center and cannot move their eyes away. Two or even three or four landowners are fighting over each other, and in the end the government has to step in to coordinate. As good as Xu Jincheng is, the land outside the city is still uncultivated. You can buy as much as you want. If you buy it and set up a factory, you will still get taxes, which is equivalent to Made money twice.
The official who received Xu Yin happily put a piece of large yellow croaker into his pocket and worked very efficiently. In less than half a day, all the procedures were completed.
Xu Yin received the land deed and returned to the pharmacy to ask Fenglu to post a recruitment notice. She was going to hire people to build a factory, and the treatment would be the same as when building a pharmaceutical factory.
She had no intention of doing it secretly. The underground arsenal was opened quietly, and the above-ground machinery factory was opened openly. Except for the basement, she made the tunnels by herself. The factories and buildings on the ground were all displayed in plain view, just like the pharmaceutical factory. Carried on.
Although Feng Lu was wondering why his boss bought land to build a factory again? The investment in the pharmaceutical factory had not yet seen a return on investment, so this was too big a problem! No, he had to save some money on other expenses.
As a result, other employees of the pharmacy discovered that Feng Lu, who was trained by his employer as the boss, had been a bit stingy recently. When they asked him to approve notes to get money, they couldn't come up with three reasons not to approve them.
Even if there is no soy sauce in the kitchen, if you ask him to get money to make soy sauce, you will be asked a few questions: How long does it take to make a pot of soy sauce? When was the last time you made soy sauce? When frying a dish, which one should I use, soy sauce or salt?
Save more money?
The big-haired girl who went to batch the strips was asked and her eyes were filled with mosquito coils.
Worry is nothing but worry, but Feng Lu still completes the tasks assigned by his boss meticulously.
Therefore, the people near the pharmacy all know that the owner of the pharmacy will build a factory outside the North City Gate in the new year. Think about the benefits when building a pharmaceutical factory. It is much better than carrying bags and pulling yellow croaker carts.
, so a swarm of people rushed to the pharmacy to sign up. After signing up, they went to the grove to gather and start work the next day.
First, the trees were cut down according to Xu Yin's request. Not all the trees were cut down. The towering ancient trees were not moved. They were transplanted later. The cut wood sections were piled in the warehouse of the pharmaceutical factory to dry. According to the public, they were kept for furniture.
If you can save a fortune, it's a fortune.
After clearing away the trees and freeing up the site, we began to officially build the factory building.
Zhang Dashuai heard that Xu Jinjin had bought land again, this time to set up a machinery factory. Doubts flashed through his mind. How could a descendant of the Xinglin family who opened a Chinese and Western pharmacy and a Western medicine factory inexplicably start a machinery factory?
Combined with the news coming from the north, it's hard not to be suspicious.
He walked around the study several times with his hands behind his back, then called Adjutant Chen and ordered: "Go and check who Dr. Xu has been in contact with recently. If there is a strange face, remember to check the identity of the person."
Adjutant Chen went to investigate.
I checked around and found nothing suspicious, so I came back to report:
"Commander, Dr. Xu's daily itinerary is very simple. He is either in a pharmacy or a pharmaceutical factory. I heard that new drugs have reached a critical period and will be launched this year as expected, so he spends a lot of time in pharmaceutical factories recently. Except
In these two places, I have never seen him go to other places or have any interactions with strangers."
"This is strange... He is a doctor and it is understandable to open a pharmaceutical factory, but it is unreasonable to open a machinery factory!"
"You're talking about this, I do know some truth." Adjutant Chen laughed, "Yesterday I accompanied my wife to the pharmacy for a follow-up consultation. I chatted with Dr. Xu for a few words. I heard him say that the most effective new medicine is not injections, but also injections.
It is not a pill, but an oral method called capsule, which is to fill the powdered medicine into a soft gelatin capsule, which is easy to absorb and does not hurt the stomach. This kind of capsule was seen by Wu Anping when he was studying abroad, but
The machines for producing this kind of capsules are currently unavailable in China. Dr. Xu is a very particular person. In order to optimize the effect of the medicine, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to open a machinery factory to manufacture it himself."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Dashuai Zhang heard what was going on, his doubts disappeared, he patted his thigh and said with a smile: "I'm telling you! Dr. Xu behaves properly,
He doesn’t look like someone who can do small tricks. It seems like he has higher expectations for the new drug.”
Adjutant Chen smiled mysteriously: "Commander, let me tell you the truth. The effect of Dr. Xu's new drug is countless times better than sulfonamide!"
"What!!!"
Zhang Dashuai was so shocked that he suddenly stood up from the imperial chair, almost knocking over the tea cup on the table:
"Didn't he develop sulfa?"
"I also thought it was sulfonamide. Maybe this time the new drug has really taken off. He was in a good mood and told me the truth. He said that the initial research and development was indeed sulfonamide, but in the process he discovered another drug with better efficacy than sulfonamide.
, it seems that sulfa can only inhibit germs, but another drug can not only inhibit but also kill germs, so the research and development direction was changed."
They have heard but not understood the medical terminology of inhibiting germs, but who doesn’t understand the words “better curative effect”?
"well!"
Dashuai Zhang excitedly clapped his hands and laughed, as if the new medicine was the result of his contribution.
"Did Dr. Xu say when the first batch of new drugs will be launched?"
"I didn't say the specific time. I just can't say that it will be put into production this year. I guess I want to wait until the machinery factory starts working and the capsules are produced. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in such a hurry to set up the machinery factory."
"Go and tell him that the government of the Machinery Factory is fully supportive, but the first batch of new drugs must be left to us...forget it! I will find time to tell him on my own."
Xu Yin can still guess a little bit of Zhang Dashuai's thoughts. He just wants to use this batch of medicine in exchange for better political resources.
But when the mouth grows on her body, she has the final say which one is the first one?
