175 Serious business (900 monthly ticket plus more updates)
In the early days of pharmaceutical factories, the main products were morphine, quinine, strychnine, and a limited number of other products. The output was pitifully low. Generally, only officers in the army could use it. When ordinary soldiers were injured, most of the time only
If you can bear it hard, there is a high chance that you will be left disabled if the bar is passed. If you cannot resist it, you will have to admit that you are unlucky.
Roque is now taking a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he trains medical personnel through medical schools, and on the other hand, he produces drugs through pharmaceutical factories. In this way, when the First World War breaks out in more than ten years, Transvaal and Nyasaland will be able to
Fight the war one way.
In another time and space, when the First World War broke out, the southern African colonies at that time had already formed the Union of South Africa. On the order of the British government, South Africa sent troops to German Southwest Africa, which could be regarded as a contribution to the First World War.
After the war, German Southwest Africa became a trustee colony of South Africa, accepted the management of the South African government, and became part of South Africa.
After the German South-West Africa, which later became the independence of Namibia, South Africa not only failed to retain it, but also lost Walvis Bay, which had always been a British colony. It can be said that it suffered heavy losses.
In this time and space, if there is such an opportunity again, Roque will definitely not miss it. Not to mention Namibia, at least Walvis Bay cannot be lost. Roque is very capable of dealing with Africans. Who dares to take advantage of Walvis Bay?
Just one gram can make anyone walk around without finishing their meal.
Back to the pharmaceutical factory, although Irving didn't know what Roark was planning, there was nothing Irving could do if Roark didn't tell him.
Fortunately, Roque has already spoken out and agreed to open the pharmaceutical factory. Owen's trip is considered worthwhile. After returning, he can also explain to the funders in the party.
Rock took precautions as early as possible. As soon as it was time to get off work, he came to Abu's biological laboratory early to ask about Abu's research progress.
"The progress is pretty smooth. We have extracted some things through biological fermentation. We are currently studying them. They can be tested on animals in a while. Artemisia annua is indeed very effective against malaria. It is still in the analysis stage. As for Panax notoginseng, related
The research team has not yet been established, and we are now seriously short of manpower. If this continues, let alone the medical school, the institute's own research cannot be guaranteed." Abu was very worried, wishing he could break one and use it as three.
In order to ensure the research of the institute, Rock placed the Biological Research Institute in the northernmost part of Ziwei Town. There are no residents living near the institute. Tall trees are planted around it, and there are police on duty at the door, which can ensure the cleanliness and safety of the institute.
.
Through Luo Ke's various efforts, the institute currently has nearly a hundred staff members. Compared with the previous grass-roots team, it is becoming more and more like a real scientific research institution.
Compared with the increase in manpower, the tasks of the research institute are becoming more and more heavy.
Abu was originally an expert in cell chemistry. In addition to cell chemistry, the Institute of Biology now also has a department specializing in penicillin and a department specializing in artemisia annua. It is about to establish a department specializing in Panax notoginseng.
As a result, manpower began to be stretched again.
"Don't worry, I have recruited more than fifty recent college graduates from Germany and France. They will come to Johannesburg soon. Then let them all come to help you." Roque took over, Britain
Don’t even think about it. They are unlikely to come to Johannesburg. However, German and French college students are still willing to come to Johannesburg. After entering the 21st century, a new round of economic crisis began to break out in Europe. Freshly graduated college graduates
It was not easy to find a job, so Johannesburg took advantage of it.
Speaking of economic crisis, this is an inevitable cycle under the banner of free trade.
Starting from the middle of the last century, roughly every ten years, an economic crisis broke out around the world. This time the economic crisis started at the beginning of the 20th century. It was not until the state began to intervene in the economy that the world's economy began to gradually recover.
However, state interference in the economy will have serious consequences. In a few years, Europe will start an arms race. Even Britain and Germany will not be able to bear it, and the arms race will turn into a world war.
So everything has pros and cons, and the key is how to weigh them.
"A recent college graduate is useless." Abu seemed to be troubled by the shortage of manpower, and he spoke without mercy: "Can we find some accomplished or experienced experts and professors?"
Compared with college graduates, expert professors are of course better. A very simple example is that a college student who has just walked out of school may only be able to do odd jobs in a biology laboratory, but an experienced expert professor will be able to
He can directly lead a research group, which is very helpful to Abu's work.
"Of course there are experts and professors if you want. The medical school has hired a lot of them during this period. If you want, they can be transferred to you. But you have to think clearly. Experts and professors are more ambitious than ordinary university graduates. Once you get them,
If we transfer people here, we won't be able to drive them away." Roque has bad intentions. Penicillin, Artemisia annua, Baiyao, any one of them can win the Nobel Prize. Not only will it bring huge honors, but also real benefits.
Rock didn't believe that Abu was willing to send it out.
Sure enough, as soon as Rock finished speaking, Abu's expression was a little tangled. Now Abu lacks everything, he needs money, status and status, but what he lacks is honor.
"Increase your salary. Starting from this year, everyone's annual salary will increase by 10%, and those with outstanding performance will increase by 20%. Overtime will be paid for overtime, and there will be paid holidays every year. I will try my best to find someone for you.
You can't slack off, the research on Panax notoginseng must start immediately, we need a specific drug to treat trauma." Rock gave everyone a salary increase, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem.
"A war?" Abu's face was full of gloom. If there was no war, Rock would not need special medicine for trauma.
"No, no, no, it won't happen in the short term. In the long term, a huge war will definitely break out. We need to be prepared now." Roque bullied Abu into turning a deaf ear to what was going on. In fact, Nyasa
Conflict has just broken out between China and the Congo Free State.
Of course, in this conflict, it was the Belgians who needed special medicine more. On the Nyasaland side, few people were injured from beginning to end, and except for the three Chinese Americans who died at the beginning, no one was killed during the conflict.
No.
Johannesburg now has two European newspapers, in addition to the Liberal Party's party magazine "Free Press", there is also "Johannesburg Today" co-owned by Roque and Owen.
During the Nyasaland War, both newspapers were busy ridiculing the Boers and singing praises to Pretoria and Johannesburg. They really had no time to pay attention to Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.
So despite the fact that Nyasaland and the Transvaal are not far apart, not many people know about the conflict between Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.
"Okay, I will speed up the research on Panax notoginseng and penicillin." Abu didn't know what was happening in the outside world. His mind was all in the biological laboratory, not even the medical school, which was under intensive construction.
The real person in charge of the medical school is Douglas, Chairman of the Executive Yuan. These days, Douglas wants to live on the construction site every day. Compared with his previous work, the medical school can make Douglas famous in history.
Thinking about Douglas, it is actually quite tragic. After coming to Johannesburg, a dignified professor from the Royal Agricultural College of Gloucester, not to mention busy working in the fields every day, was actually forced to become a human trafficker by Rock. This is really laughable.
.
Although the "agency" job has brought Professor Douglas a lot of income, Douglas also knows very well that in fact, the job of "agency" is not on the table. If you really want to become successful, medical school is the key.
In fact, at this point, it doesn't matter whether there is Douglas or not.
The experts and professors who came to Johannesburg, or the freshly graduated college students, all have three or five close friends. The reason why these high-level talents are willing to come to Johannesburg is that their previous lives were not very satisfactory.
After arriving in Johannesburg, these high-level talents finally reached the pinnacle of their lives.
Now there is no need for Douglas to ask, these graduates of expert professors who have already tasted the benefits will take the initiative to send telegrams to their close friends who have not yet arrived in Johannesburg, inviting their close friends to come to Johannesburg to find a new opportunity.
In fact, since 1903, more and more high-level talents have come to Johannesburg on their own initiative. Douglass used to worry that no one would come, but now he is worried that there is no way to place people when they come. After all, the medical school has not yet been built, and other aspects of the establishment
The qualifications of the schools are insufficient, which is fine for a short period of time, but over time, these experts and professors will inevitably return to Europe if they see no serious jobs.
After all, experts all have received higher education. Their salary may not be high, but their social status is still good. Some people are willing to take care of the money but not do anything, and some people are not willing to waste time.
There was no other way, Rock turned around and called Stoudemire again.
"Don't say I didn't remind you, this is a good way to improve Rhodesia's strength. I don't need to tell you, you also understand the value of talents. Think about it, if there is a comprehensive institution of higher learning, you can train it yourself
You can cultivate whatever talents you want at that time." Roque gave the opportunity to Xiaosi, but he couldn't do it because Nyasaland does not have the qualifications to establish an institution of higher learning now.
"Really?" Stoudemire's voice was a little distorted from the phone, but it didn't matter. Rock could hear the joy in Stoudemire's voice.
"Really!" Rock's voice was full of helplessness.
"Help me stabilize them, I'll go to Johannesburg right away." Stoudemire laughed, Rock finally did something serious.
