Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 333 Serious Business (900 Monthly Pass Plus Changes)

In the early days of pharmaceutical factories, the main products were morphine, quinine, strychnine, etc., and the output was pitifully low. Generally, only officers could use them in the army. When ordinary soldiers were injured, most of the time they could only use them. If you carry it hard, there is a high chance of leaving a disability if you pass the bar. If you can't resist it, you can only consider yourself unlucky.

Rock is now working on 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, after more than ten years, when the First World War breaks out, the Transvaal and Nyasaland will be able to Go to war one way.

In another time and space, when the First World War broke out, the southern African colonies at that time had formed the Union of South Africa. According to the order of the British government, South Africa sent troops to German Southwest Africa, which can be regarded as a contribution to the First World War.

After the war, German Southwest Africa became a trust colony of South Africa, accepted the administration of the South African government, and became a part of South Africa.

Afterwards, the German Southwest Africa, which later became the independence of Namibia, South Africa not only failed to keep it, but lost Walvis Bay, which had always been a British colony, and suffered a heavy loss.

In this time and space, if there is another opportunity like this, Roque will definitely not miss it, not to mention Namibia, at least the port of Walvis Bay cannot be lost, Roque is too capable of dealing with Africans, who dares to play the idea of ​​Walvis Bay, Luo Ke Gram can make anyone walk around endlessly.

Speaking of the pharmaceutical factory, although Owen didn't know what Rock was up to, but if Rock didn't say anything, Owen couldn't help it.

Fortunately, Rock has already said that he agreed to open the pharmaceutical factory, and Owen's trip was worthwhile. After returning, he can also explain to the party's benefactors.

Rock took precautions as soon as possible, and came to Abu's biological laboratory early when it was time to get off work, asking about Abu's research progress.

"The progress is going well. We have extracted some things through biological fermentation. We are currently researching and can be tested on animals after a while. Artemisia annua is indeed very effective against malaria, and it is still in the analysis stage. As for Sanqi, the relevant research team has not yet been established, and we are seriously short of manpower, let alone the medical school, the institute’s own research cannot be guaranteed.” Abu was very worried, wishing to break one apart and use it as three.

In order to ensure the research of the research institute, Rock placed the biological research institute in the northernmost part of Bigwig Town. There are no residents living near the research institute, tall trees are planted around it, and there are policemen on duty at the gate to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the research institute. .

After Rock's efforts, the institute now has nearly a hundred staff members. Compared with the previous grass-roots team, it looks more and more like a real scientific research institution.

Compared with the increase in manpower, the tasks of the institute are getting heavier and heavier.

Abu was originally an expert in cytochemistry. In addition to cytochemistry, the Institute of Biology now has a department dedicated to the study of penicillin and a department dedicated to the study of Artemisia annua. As a result, manpower began to be stretched again.

"Don't worry, I have recruited more than 50 college graduates from Germany and France. They will come to Johannesburg soon, and let them all come to help you." Don't even think about graduates, it is unlikely to come to Johannesburg, but German and French college students are still willing to come to Johannesburg. After entering the [-]th century, a new round of economic crisis broke out in Europe. It's great to find a job, and it's a good time to let Johannesburg take advantage of it.

Speaking of the economic crisis, this is an unavoidable cycle under the banner of free trade.

Since the middle of the last century, about every ten years, the world has experienced an economic crisis. This time, the economic crisis began at the beginning of the [-]th century. It was not until the state began to intervene in the economy that the world economy began to gradually recover.

However, state interference in the economy will cause serious consequences. In a few years, Europe will start an arms race. Knowing that neither Britain nor Germany can bear it, the arms race will turn into a world war.

So everything has advantages and disadvantages, the key is to see how to balance.

"The college graduates who just graduated are useless—" Abu seemed to be tossed by the shortage of manpower, and said mercilessly, "Can you find some accomplished or experienced experts and professors?"

Compared with college graduates, of course, experts and professors are better. A very simple example, a college student who has just left school may only do odd jobs in the biology laboratory, while an experienced expert and professor, after coming You can directly lead a research team, which is very helpful to Abramovich's work.

"Of course you want experts and professors. The medical school has hired a lot during this period, and you can transfer them if you want-but you have to think carefully. Expert professors are more ambitious than ordinary college graduates. Once you transfer someone over, you won't be able to drive them away." Rock has malicious intentions, any one of penicillin, artemisia, and Baiyao can win the Nobel Prize, not only a huge honor, but also a real one. Rock doesn't believe that Abramovich is willing to give it away.

Sure enough, as soon as Rock's words fell, Abu's expression became a little tangled. Now Abu has everything, money, status and status, and what he lacks is honor.

"Let's raise your salary. Starting from this year, each person's annual salary will increase by 20.00%, and those who perform well will increase by [-]%. Overtime pay will be paid for overtime work, and there will be paid holidays every year-I will try to find someone for you here, you We can't slack off here either, the research on Panax notoginseng should start immediately, we need a special medicine to treat trauma." Rock raised everyone's salary, as long as the problem can be solved with money, it's not a problem.

"Want to fight?" Abu's face was full of gloom. If there was no war, Rock would not need special medicine for trauma.

"No, no, no, not in a short time. In the long run, a huge war will definitely break out. We must prepare now." Rock bullied Abu to keep his ears shut. The conflict between Lanzhou and the Congo Free State has just broken out.

Of course, in this conflict, it is the Belgians who need special medicine. On Nyasaland’s side, few people were injured from the beginning to the end. Except for the first three Chinese who died, none of them died during the conflict. No.

Johannesburg now has two European newspapers, in addition to the Liberal Party's party journal "Freedom Press", and "Johannesburg Today" jointly organized by Rock and Owen.

During the Nyasaland war, both newspapers were too busy taunting the Boers and singing the praises of Pretoria and Johannesburg to have time for Nyasaland and the Congo Free State.

So despite the fact that Nyasaland and the Transvaal are not far apart, few 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 going on outside, his mind was on the biological laboratory, and he didn't even care about the medical school that was under construction.

The real person in charge of the School of Medicine is Douglas, Executive Yuan. In the past few days, Douglas wished to live on the construction site every day. Compared with his previous work, the School of Medicine can make Douglas famous in history.

Thinking about Douglas is actually very tragic. The dignified professor of Gloucester Royal Agricultural College, after coming to Johannesburg, was busy in the fields every day, and he was forced to become a human trafficker by Rock. This is really laughable. .

Although the "intermediary" work has brought a lot of income to Professor Douglas, Douglas is also very clear that in fact, the "intermediary" work is not on the table. If you really want to be successful, the medical school is the key.

In fact, at this level, it doesn't matter whether Douglas is there or not.

The experts and professors who came to Johannesburg, or the college students who just graduated, 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 coming to Johannesburg, these senior talents finally reached the pinnacle of life.

Now there is no need for Douglas to ask, these expert and professor graduates who have tasted the sweetness will take the initiative to send telegrams to their best friends who have not yet arrived in Johannesburg, inviting their best friends to Johannesburg to find a new opportunity.

In fact, since 1903, more and more high-level talents came to Johannesburg on their own initiative. Douglas used to worry that no one would come, but now he is worried that there is no way to arrange them. The school’s qualifications are not enough, so it’s okay in a short time, but after a long time, these experts and professors don’t see any serious jobs, so they will inevitably return to Europe.

In other words, the experts are also highly educated, their salary may not be high, and their social status is still good. Some people are willing to take money and do nothing, while others are unwilling to waste time.

No 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. Needless to say, you also understand the value of talents. Think about it, if there is a comprehensive institution of higher learning, you can cultivate Talents, you can cultivate whatever you want at that time.” Rock gave up the opportunity to Stoudemire, but if you don’t let it go, Nyasaland does not have the qualifications to establish an institution of higher learning.

"Really?" Stoudemire's voice was 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 loudly, and Rock finally did something serious.
