The next morning, all the well-known newspapers and radio stations in Chongqing received the news.
The Penicillin Pharmaceutical Factory held a press conference at three o'clock in the afternoon to release important decisions and news regarding the search of the pharmaceutical factory yesterday.
Over the past year, the name of the pharmaceutical factory can be said to be a household name.
Penicillin produced by pharmaceutical factories was even called a miracle drug and saved tens of thousands of injured anti-Japanese soldiers on the front lines.
It can be said that every move of the pharmaceutical factory is directly related to the safety of the wounded on the front line, and to the determination and willpower of the soldiers on the battlefield to kill the enemy.
You know, medicines have always been in short supply in China. Many wounded people did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hospital bed because there was no medicine.
Many soldiers are afraid of getting hurt when they go to the battlefield.
If you have worries, your combat effectiveness will not be fully unleashed.
The emergence of penicillin has undoubtedly solved a big problem and greatly improved the survival rate of the wounded on the battlefield.
It is precisely because of this life-saving medicine that soldiers are no longer afraid of being injured and have no worries about going to the battlefield.
If there is a problem with penicillin due to yesterday's search by the Military and Political Department, the morale of the frontline combat troops will definitely be affected.
Before the time came, hundreds of people had already gathered at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory.
There are reporters and spies inside.
Even reporters are divided into several groups. Some belong to Chongqing, some work for the Japanese, and some work for foreign newspapers...
"Reporters, hello everyone, I have a big news to announce to you today." Li Hao said standing in front of everyone.
"In view of the increasingly harsh environment for penicillin production, we decided to relocate the pharmaceutical factory to Xi'an to continue production."
"At the same time, in order to ensure the supply of penicillin on the front line and allow the soldiers to have medicine available, we decided to split the Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory into two, and give half of the production equipment to Chongqing, which will be produced by Chongqing itself. The other half of the production equipment will be sent to Xi'an.
Establish Xi'an Pharmaceutical Factory and continue to produce penicillin."
"Will the production formula of penicillin also be transferred to Chongqing..." A reporter asked a key question that everyone was concerned about.
Li Hao thought for a moment and replied: "As long as Chongqing agrees to our relocation request, protects us from arriving at the Xi'an Pharmaceutical Factory safely, and does not cause any trouble to our pharmaceutical factory in the process, I can hand over the penicillin production formula to Chongqing for free."
"However, Chongqing can only use the formula to produce penicillin itself. It cannot resell the formula, nor can it leak the formula to the Japanese."
Another reporter stood up and asked: "Is the reason why the pharmaceutical factory moved from here to Xi'an because yesterday the pharmaceutical factory was searched by the Ministry of Military Affairs and production safety could not be guaranteed!"
Li Hao replied noncommittally: "You can think so..."
In less than ten minutes, the press conference was over.
However, because the safety of the pharmaceutical factory could not be guaranteed, the news that it was relocating to Xi'an, and before the relocation, selflessly left half of the production equipment to Chongqing, and also promised to hand over the penicillin production formula, spread quickly as if it had wings.
whole city.
"Captain, do you think Chongqing will agree to our relocation request?" Looking at the reporters gradually dispersing, the worried look on Xiao Yuan's face did not ease much, and he stared at Li Hao and asked.
Li Hao shook his head and replied: "I just put out bait. The specific result depends on the subsequent negotiations. If you ask me, I don't know the result."
"But I believe the final winner must belong to us."
"After the news announced at the press conference spreads, people's hearts will definitely be on our side. Chongqing will not only have to bear the huge pressure of public opinion, but also the strong temptation of penicillin on them."
"I'm sure that within an hour at most, the Military and Political Ministry will come to negotiate with us."
"Since we are going to negotiate, we must put in full force and let Chongqing see our determination to relocate."
"There must be a lot of them in the pharmaceutical factory garrison camp. You should go and give the order now. The pharmaceutical factory will be relocated and the garrison camp will be reorganized into the pharmaceutical factory escort team. Those who are willing to follow us will be incorporated into the escort team. Those who are not willing to continue.
Stay in the garrison and wait for Chongqing to take over."
"Remember when we formed the formation, we incorporated the reconnaissance company into the escort team, and all the equipment was provided to them. There can be no mistakes in the subsequent relocation. Use your own people if you can."
Xiao Yuan replied with a serious face: "I will do it now!"
Li Hao's calculation was correct. In less than an hour, a dozen senior military officers appeared at the door of the pharmaceutical factory.
The leader of the team was a major general, and among the officers following behind him, the lowest ranking officer was also a lieutenant colonel.
"Director Li, do you know how much pressure the news you broke today has put on us? Can't you talk to us first and then announce the news about the relocation of the pharmaceutical factory after the results are obtained?"
The major general complained sullenly when he saw Li Hao.
Li Hao sat silently and waited for the other party to stop before speaking: "If I proposed negotiations first, would you still be in such a hurry to come here?"
"Besides, it was you who sent out heavy troops to search the pharmaceutical factory and disrupt the production of the pharmaceutical factory based on some unnecessary rumors without any evidence. Even several core workshops of the pharmaceutical factory were not spared."
"The core secrets of the pharmaceutical factory are in those rooms. If you military police who participated in the search leaked what they saw and let the Japanese know it, you would be the accomplices of the little devils and traitors."
"I sold penicillin to you at a loss, but you used this result to repay the pharmaceutical factory. It is so chilling to us."
"Forget it, let's not talk more about this nonsense. I have already made up my mind to relocate the pharmaceutical factory. If you don't agree, I will choose to relocate. At worst, the equipment in the pharmaceutical factory will be lost and all will be destroyed. If you agree and promise us
The relocation is safe, and we can also get half of the production equipment and penicillin production formula of the pharmaceutical factory. In the future, we can produce penicillin by ourselves and no longer be controlled by others.”
Having said that, no matter how dissatisfied the major general felt, he could only swallow it in his stomach.
And the real purpose of his coming here was not to persuade Li Hao not to move, but to produce the formula for penicillin.
Seeing Li Hao speak bluntly, he asked: "What do you need us to do to leave us the penicillin production formula and half of the equipment in the pharmaceutical factory?"
"It's very simple!" Li Hao didn't waste any words.
“Let’s move to Xi’an safely and smoothly!”
"I have calculated that half of the production equipment, raw materials, and semi-finished products in the pharmaceutical factory will need to be transported by trucks three hundred times to move them all. I can find fifty cars to transport them back and forth six times. All you need to do is make a square along the way, no
"After the transportation is completed, half of the equipment and production raw materials of the pharmaceutical factory are handed over here."
"We will hand over the production formula in Xi'an."
The major general thought for a moment and replied: "How about we take out a main group to send each other along the way?"
"We can give orders to the troops stationed along the way and let them pass unconditionally, but I can't control the Japanese and puppet agents lurking nearby. There are hundreds of kilometers along the way. The convoy may be attacked anywhere. There will be troops sending each other for sure.
It will be safer.”
Li Hao could see the other person's thoughts at a glance.
Use the escort to find out what is being transported in the car and whether there are any contraband they are looking for.
He immediately refused and said: "No, we have our own escort to ensure safety. You just need to let the troops stationed along the way pass unconditionally and not cause trouble for us!"
