Chapter 190: Penicillin

After arriving in Hong Kong, Shen Long first went to the US Consulate General in Xiangjiang to meet the American consul and asked him to help invite some people from related industries in Xiangjiang to the party to discuss the sale of Marlboro to Xiangjiang.

He didn't go to see Mr. Huo and Ye Han, so as not to appear too close to cause others' suspicion, he just waited for an opportunity to meet in private.

Shen Long can be regarded as quite an influential figure now. The Consul General of Xiangjiang did not dare to be negligent, and immediately sent invitations to the influential businessmen in Xiangjiang. All the speakers were present, and "Uncle He" He Yingjie, who is currently in charge of Xiangjiang's tobacco industry, also came.

In front of them, Shen Long did not reveal any signs that he could speak Chinese, but he was not as arrogant as ordinary Americans, so this dinner could be said to be a feast for the guests and the host. Without much effort, Shen Long and He Yingjie We discussed the sales of Marlboro in Xiangjiang and surrounding markets.

He handed over the agency rights of Marlboro to He Yingjie, and He Yingjie sold the cigarettes in Xiangjiang, Macau and other places. Historically, He Yingjie also represented Marlboro in Xiangjiang for decades. The agency was resold to Philip Morris, and now it is tantamount to getting back on track.

"You speak English very well. What's your name?" Shen Long looked at the translator assigned to him by the consulate and felt familiar, so he asked.

The Chinese, who is in his twenties and less than thirties, announced his name, "My surname is Jin, and my English name is Larry. You can call me Larry-Chin."

His English name is fine, but his Chinese name is astonishing. He is a well-deserved hero of the secret front and is widely praised among the people, but the official has never recognized his identity. Holding his hand tightly, he said, "Oh, it's Mr. Jin. I'm afraid I'll trouble you a lot during this time."

"It should, it should." Mr. Jin responded with a smile on his face.

After the banquet, Mr. Jin stayed by Shen Long's side to act as an interpreter for him. He spent a few days negotiating the agency contract with He Yingjie. The two parties signed their names on the contract, and then Shen Long sent Mr. Jin back to the consulate. , and then quietly found Mr. Huo. At this time, our party had already entered Beiping, sweeping across the country was just around the corner. Xiangjiang was crowded with businessmen and military officers who fled from all over the mainland.

Shen Long and him checked the list of the first batch of smuggled materials, mainly medicines and mechanical equipment, and the most important thing is a set of relatively advanced penicillin—that is, penicillin production equipment. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the price of penicillin in China has remained high , I hope this set of machines will make things easier for the country.

After finishing these, Shen Long is ready to return to the United States.

However, before leaving Xiangjiang, he secretly sent a letter to Mr. Jin, in which he wrote a relatively advanced industrial production process of penicillin, which happened to be suitable for that set of equipment. This set of production techniques was sent to Shanghai and handed over to Fan Qingsheng of the Shanghai Biochemical Laboratory, and agreed on a secret code for sending him a letter next time.

Mr. Jin was very surprised to receive this letter. His identity is kept at a very high level of secrecy. Even the leaders of Xiangjiang's intelligence agencies do not know his identity. How did this letter come about?

He immediately reported to his superiors. After examining the letter, the superiors confirmed that what was said in it was true, and the Americans did not have any unusual movements afterwards, so the superiors asked him to continue to lurk and wait for observation. Don't act rashly to search The identity of the sender.

They speculated that someone who had a good impression of our party accidentally discovered Mr. Jin's identity, but he was unwilling to expose himself, so they came up with such a method, but Mr. Jin didn't think about it. where exposed.

It's not that Shen Long never thought of handing over the letter to Mr. Huo, but considering that eggs cannot be put in one basket, and Mr. Jin's channels are more secretive and safer, and there may be more information to be obtained from him in the future. This was sent out, so I took the risk. Judging from the situation of going to the US consulate before leaving Xiangjiang, this adventure seemed to be successful.

As for Mr. Fan Qingsheng, who will deliver the production process, he is the pioneer of penicillin production in China. He graduated from Jinling University and went to the Graduate School of the University of Wisconsin to study agricultural microbiology. After returning to China, he studied with Zhu Jiming and Tang Feifan. Production, extraction and clinical trials of penicillin.

There was a movie in the early years. It was about Marshal Chen who became the mayor of Shanghai and found that the penicillin in the pharmacy was very expensive, so he found Mr. Fan Qingsheng. In Mr. Fan's life, it can be said that there are countless living people.

With this information, as well as the industrial equipment entrusted to Mr. Huo, coupled with Mr. Fan Qingsheng's professional ability, it is estimated that the penicillin production work in New China will be much better than in the original history, producing more and better quality. Good penicillin will save the land of China from unnecessary deaths.

In the future, Shen Long also plans to use the channels of Mr. Jin and Mr. Huo to continue to provide various materials and information to New China, which can be regarded as his own contribution to the country.

After returning to the United States, I found that Johnny and Ingrid Bergman's advertisements for Altria's Marlboro and ESSE were everywhere in New York, and more people smoked these two types of cigarettes on the streets.

Tom reported to Shen Long that he had arranged for people to acquire more tobacco fields in Kentucky, expand the factory scale, recruit more workers, and was ready to expand production, hoping to take this opportunity to occupy more markets.

"However, Philip Morris and Reynolds have already taken action, and the future market competition will be more intense." There are hidden dangers in the bright future, and these two companies still occupy most of the market.

"It's okay, let those research institutes release reports on the health hazards of tobacco in a while!" Shen Long was not worried at all, he had anticipated this situation a long time ago, and had thought of a way to deal with it. The report is still in the safe.

After returning to Corleone's house to rest for a few days, Shen Long returned to Hollywood, and after spending a pleasant few days with Audrey Hepburn, he chose to leave again.

Returning to the familiar world made Shen Long feel very comfortable. This feeling of being able to travel back and forth between two different worlds is very good. When he enters again next time, he will definitely bring a greater impact to this world. Variety.

It seems that I haven't practiced archery for a long time. Tomorrow, I will go to the archery hall and try the longbow I bought from the elves!
