Chapter 1173: The Romantic Girl Paired with Farming in the Republic of China (25)
Xu Yin is really busy recently!
Not to mention the Yakushian, pharmacy, pharmaceutical factory, and machinery factory (arsenal), two identities are not enough.
In addition to purchasing surface cutting machine tools and other equipment, the machinery factory also prepares the machinery and equipment and steel and other materials needed for the underground arsenal.
Xu Yin had no choice but to get herself a false identity again, this time simply pretending to be a British guy.
Fortunately, her English skills have never been weak. She has settled in New Zealand for many years. She speaks fluent British English. Even if the Queen of England is in front of her, she would not be able to tell her authenticity. Ordinary British people would think that she comes from some hereditary aristocracy.
, the way he behaves is so noble. Therefore, he is able to travel unimpeded in various concessions and docks.
In this way, she played three roles by herself, using Qinggong, authentic skills, and time differences to travel between Haicheng and neighboring cities, even as far as Northern Jiangsu.
Of course, it was under the guise of "Yakushi-an hosts an outing for study and exchange" and "the owner of the pharmacy went on a business trip to purchase herbal medicine" to inspect a batch of imported equipment shipped from Russia.
In addition, she also asked Germans to buy equipment, negotiated business with Frenchmen, and bought new pistols from Americans... If there was a competition to select global time management masters in this era, she would be the winner.
Like a hamster, she transported the most advanced and sophisticated instruments and equipment at the time to the underground arsenal bit by bit.
At this time, I have to mention how convenient it was for the pharmaceutical factory to be located in the northern suburbs of the city and close to the train station.
She disguised herself as a foreigner and transported the machinery and equipment onto the train. After arriving, she changed into the identity of Xu Jinjin and went to the train station to collect the goods and bring them back to the machinery factory.
She does all the receiving and shipping, and it couldn't be easier to mix in some advanced equipment and pass it off as imported from abroad.
With everything ready, the ground machinery factory and underground arsenal began to operate simultaneously.
Taking into account the safety of the arsenal, Xu Yin started the assembly process with an assembly line process. The workers recruited by the machinery factory were distributed in different workshops to produce different parts. The final assembly workshop was handled by several Shen brothers disguised as workers.
They transferred the parts needed for the firearms through secret passages to the underground arsenal, where they were assembled and debugged.
And special products like bullets are produced directly underground.
Xu Yin's machinery factory and pharmaceutical factory were put into operation. During the days of recruiting workers, the factory entrance was crowded with people. People from outside the city and outside the city heard that the factory run by Dr. Xu had good pay, so they all came to apply for jobs.
Xu Yin did indeed recruit a lot of people. The equipment for producing capsules was the first product of the machinery factory. After it was assembled, two new drugs, penicillin and second-generation sulfa, began to be officially put into production.
When shopkeeper Chen of the Western Pharmacy heard the news, he seemed to have caught Xu Yin on something, so he arrogantly came to negotiate terms with her:
"Boss Xu, I know what kind of medicine you sell in your gourd. We are all in the same way. We can make money together, right? If all the limelight is taken away by your factory and pharmacy, how will we people make a living?
?Are you right? In this way, I am not greedy. You can sell me a batch of medicines at cost price and sell them in our western medicine pharmacy, and I will not expose your secrets. "
Xu Yin raised an eyebrow: "Secret? What secret do I have?"
"Hey, Boss Xu, there are some things you know and I know, so why bother putting it too bluntly?"
Xu Yin smiled and said, "I really don't know the secret you are talking about. If your pharmacy wants to buy from my pharmaceutical factory, you can follow my pharmaceutical factory's wholesale process. The wholesale price is whatever it is."
"..."
Shopkeeper Chen was furious.
The wholesale price is known to all pharmacies outside, and his boss must also know it. If he purchases goods at the wholesale price, does he still have money to make? In this way, it is the pharmacy that benefits, and it does not matter to him, shopkeeper Chen, a penny!
"Boss Xu, this is boring!" His face immediately darkened, "If you don't accept it after careful discussion, you have to give me a toast and you will be punished with a drink, right?"
Xu Yin spread her hands and shrugged: "I really don't know what you are talking about, Shopkeeper Chen!"
"Good! Very good!"
Shopkeeper Chen pointed at Xu Yin, said a few harsh words, and left angrily.
The next day, a particularly eye-catching piece of news appeared in the newspaper——
[Surprise!!! Progress Pharmaceuticals makes fake medicines to fool the people!!!]
This news can be said to be a free promotion for Xu Yin's Progressive Pharmaceuticals.
Before this, apart from the common people who were concerned about recruiting workers and the generals who knew the efficacy of the medicine in advance, not many people from other classes knew about it.
As soon as the news came out, well, the whole city started paying attention to this matter.
"What! Is there a pharmaceutical factory making counterfeit drugs? That's a big deal! It must be shut down!"
"Which pharmaceutical company? Progress Pharmaceuticals? I've never heard of it!"
"I know, it's a new factory, and the owner of the factory is Dr. Xu, the owner of Xu's Pharmacy. If it was a pharmaceutical factory opened by someone else, I would still believe it. Dr. Xu is impossible! His medical skills are really amazing!"
"His traditional Chinese medicine skills are very powerful, but what is exposed now is that he invested in a western medicine factory. It's not unusual for him to pretend to understand something he doesn't understand."
"He invested in setting up a factory, and he did not develop it himself. The person who developed it was Lao Wu's grandson, who returned from studying abroad. I heard that he learned Western medicine during his study abroad period."
"Old Wu's grandson? Isn't that the one who is crazy?"
"Your news is out of date. His madness has long been cured by Dr. Xu! According to me, Lao Wu's grandson must have co-founded a western medicine factory with Dr. Xu just to repay his kindness."
"How dare you take the medicine developed by a madman? You're not afraid of getting crazy after taking it!"
"You're crazy! The medicine produced by Progressive Pharmaceuticals is really effective! My aunt had a cold a few years ago and it hasn't gotten better. The medicine she bought from the western pharmacy got worse and worse after she took the medicine. She even coughed up blood. The whole family is preparing for it.
It’s okay. Dr. Xu asked Xiao Wu to give my aunt a few injections. Within three days, the cough was gone. After listening to Dr. Xu’s advice, I continued to take a few Chinese medicines to treat it. Now she’s completely fine. According to Progress Pharmaceuticals
Our family is the first one who doesn’t believe in anyone who manufactures and sells counterfeit medicines!”
"I don't believe it either! My grandfather's disease was also cured by Dr. Xu, using the new medicine produced in his factory, and the effect is really good!"

"I am coming too!"
"..."
Everyone rushed to Xu's Pharmacy to see what the new medicine looked like and what the price was. If it was not expensive, they would not suffer any loss if they bought a few pills to take home.
Shopkeeper Chen did not expect that the news he paid for would not only fail to bring down Progressive Pharmaceuticals, but would actually gain it a group of new drug supporters.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Xu Yin was disgraced. After finding out that this news article was submitted by shopkeeper Chen, she even asked Feng Lu to write him a letter of thanks, solemnly thanking him for his contrary publicity and helping the Progressive Pharmaceutical Company.
A lot of business.
Shopkeeper Chen: Die!
Xu Yin hurriedly finished cleaning up shopkeeper Chen, then turned around and got busy again.
While she was recruiting workers, she also recruited a group of strong men who knew some boxing skills to form factory security guards and patrol every day.
Sure enough, after the new drug was launched, not only pharmaceutical factories, pharmacies, and drug dealers were eyeing her, but the foreign forces behind warlords in various places were also paying attention to her. Some offered her an olive branch for cooperation, and some directly offered her a share.
The contract wants to be acquired.
Xu Yin didn't agree, so these people tried every means to send people in to steal the formula, and even tried to break open the warehouse to steal the medicine.
With the help of the traps set by Xu Yin, the security guards could catch one or two armed thieves almost every day. After catching them, Xu Yin surrendered their weapons and had people take them to the police station, insisting on getting Lingqing.
Who is so shameless that he comes to steal someone even if they can't reach an agreement?
It can be said that this operation of the pharmaceutical factory has really diverted a lot of attention from the underground arsenal, and by the way, it has also obtained a lot of free weapons.
After Shen Xijin got these weapons, he took them apart to study, study, and improve them.
The arsenal co-founded by the two quietly took root in the dark and grew steadily...
