"Sorry, I got off topic, I'll continue." Liu Lang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said apologetically.
"No, Captain Liu, what you said is very good. Each of us is looking forward to your story." Fan Xudong shook his head and said, "I don't know if you believe it, Captain Liu. Although you haven't finished telling your story, Fan Xudong
But I have already made a decision in my heart. Even if the investment fails in the future, I, Fan Xudong, will not have any complaints, because I heard a story that moved me. This business will never lose money."
"Then I will continue to tell this story to make it worth the money for you, Boss Fan." Liu Lang took a deep look at this big businessman who was once famous in time and space, and continued: "The wheels of history will not change because of bacteria.
The raging epidemic caused them to stop moving forward. Many doctors basically resigned themselves to this feeling of powerlessness. Fortunately, Fleming did not. The experience of World War I led him to pioneer the research on "cross-infection", and he suddenly became famous.
, but he has never found a way to curb bacterial infection.
It wasn't until one day in 1928 that Fleming, who was suffering from a cold, sneezed on a laboratory petri dish. He didn't discover the mistake many days later. But a strange phenomenon happened: on the petri dish where he had sneezed,
A new mold appeared, and all the molds were distributed around it.
Such a strange phenomenon immediately aroused Fleming's interest, and he began to observe the petri dish. However, even his assistant did not understand such tedious work, and even simply left him. Fortunately, he did not give up in the end.
Finally, on February 13, 1928, his discovery was confirmed: this is a new type of mold that can have extremely strong antibiotic and bactericidal effects. It is like a sharp bullet that will destroy the bacteria in front of human medicine.
The barrier was shattered! So, the excited Fleming personally named this new type of mold - penicillin!"
At this point in Liu Lang's story, everyone finally understood that someone had already invented antibacterial drugs. This was definitely a super cornucopia. Whether it was the military or ordinary people, they would definitely flock to this antibacterial drug called penicillin.
Even if they heard it themselves, as long as it was sold somewhere, they would buy it back at any cost, even if it was worth the same weight of gold in exchange.
Quite simply, penicillin can save lives, but gold cannot.
But, the Westerners have invented penicillin, what does this have to do with us? Is it possible that they can give us the manufacturing method? Are all Westerners crazy? Are they fools? Of course not, Westerners are greedy.
Business people know best.
"Haha, are you confused, Westerners have already invented penicillin, what does this have to do with us? Hehe, but this epoch-making invention, in 1928, was just like a pebble thrown into the water, Fleming
After the publication of two papers on penicillin, almost no one in the world's medical community paid attention to it. Moreover, although the penicillin was effective, Fleming had no way to purify it. Therefore, in the eyes of most "experts", the so-called penicillin
, it’s just a new substance with no practical significance. In other words, this treasure called penicillin that can change the destiny of mankind is still in Dr. Fleming’s laboratory and no one cares about it, and Dr. Fleming also
It's just the title of a good doctor." Liu Lang said with a slight smile.
"Captain Liu, is this true? A rare treasure like penicillin has been abandoned by Westerners? Don't they claim to be the most democratic and civilized country? How could they turn a blind eye to such an epoch-making invention?"
Zhou Zhengru jumped up excitedly, his eyes were red, and he asked a series of questions that showed the shock in the hearts of everyone present.
It must be shocking! Such an amazing invention is turned a blind eye by Westerners whose technology is far ahead of China? It is simply unimaginable.
"Yes, this is indeed the case. But Uncle Zhou, please don't hold Westerners too high. The so-called democracy and civilization are just the democracy and civilization of those conglomerates and so-called politicians who stand at the top of society. Any
Anyone who goes against their interests will become their enemies. Wasn't the great philosopher and natural scientist Bruno burned to death in the Campo de' Fiori in Rome? Wasn't the famous Spanish medical scientist Servetus killed by them for writing the theory of pulmonary circulation?
Burned at the stake?" Liu Lang curled his lips slightly and replied disdainfully.
It's not that Liu Lang worships too ideal communism and attacks Western democracy, but that this is the fact. Wherever there are people, there are classes. As long as there are classes, they will safeguard the interests of their own class and suppress the other class, but the weak
The only party is always the ordinary people. This is the status quo and it is human nature. The so-called democracy is just a warm coat. The ferocity hidden underneath is not visible to ordinary people.
"Captain Liu, what do you mean, we can also get this kind of penicillin?" Mou Dingshan also asked impatiently.
"Yes, before the owner of an invention is identified, we can naturally do it. What's more, they can build tanks, who stipulates that we can't build them?" Liu Lang nodded.
"But, Commander Liu, as you said, penicillin is still in the great doctor's laboratory, how can we do it? Also, how can we ensure that we can develop this penicillin before Westerners? You know, if they
It was successfully developed before ours. According to Western laws, they will definitely declare that they have the property rights of this drug, and the rest will be illegal. It will be difficult for our government to resist the pressure from their government. By then, no matter how good penicillin is, we will
You can only watch and cannot use it at will, let alone sell it in large quantities." Fan Ziran had studied in the United States and knew a little about American laws, so he asked Liu Lang seriously.
"Haha, Mr. Fan asked this question very well. First of all, I can guarantee that Westerners will never study it before us. The United States is still too busy because of the economic crisis and has no time to think about it, let alone this medical science that has been shelved.
Invented. As for Europe, hehe, they are still thinking about how to expand their arms and prepare for war!
The second question is, can we do it? Our ancestors created the most splendid culture on this planet, which has proved that the yellow people are at the top of the planet in terms of wisdom. There is no shortage of Chinese and Western talents like Professor Ye in our era.
Professor Ye, a scientific giant with a perfect combination of cultures, has promised me to support the top scholars and student teams at Huaqing University. If we can’t come up with this even if we stand on the shoulders of others, then I think this drug may not exist in the world.
The world!
Finally, to answer your third question, regarding intellectual property rights, once our company's penicillin is successfully purified, I will immediately leave for the United States to set up a company in the United States and announce the ownership of the intellectual property rights of penicillin, and Laura will help with this.
, it shouldn't be a problem, it just needs to give some benefits to the Ross family." Liu Lang replied confidently.
Of course Liu Lang was confident, because it was not until ten years later, in 1943, that penicillin was successfully purified and put into practical use by Australian Florey with the support of the US government. At this time, a full fifteen years had passed since penicillin was discovered.
.
What makes Liu Lang most confident is that the penicillin purification project took four years from start to success, but the success was not only due to time, but to a small rotten watermelon rind. This small rotten watermelon
Liu Lang can provide the skin to his research team at any time without any surprises.
"I'll join." Fan Xudong decided immediately.
Almost at the same time as Fan Xudong made the decision, Zhou Zhengru and Mou Dingshan raised their hands and shouted loudly: "I join." As if they were afraid that Liu Lang would think they were slow.
After yelling, the two people who were blushing and thick-necked just now and almost had a fight on the spot looked at each other sympathetically. They are really special opportunists.
Seeing how decisive the big bosses were, the business elites who had already made plans in their minds could no longer hold back and rushed forward one after another to express their intention to join.
At this time, no one was arguing about who would join and who would not. Liu Lang's previous meaning was already clear. His group company was very big and he wanted to include everyone in it.
Liu Lang smiled brightly.
When the chips are big enough, no one can resist it! The white ocean is coming.
