Chapter 51 Quinn
Citibank has branches all over the world. The branch in China is Shanghai Citibank. The man at the helm is Quinn Stillman, a playboy in his 30s. Meng Fuyin took over Shanghai Citibank. In fact, he was exiled by his family to Shanghai.

Regardless of how well-known Citibank is in Shanghai, in fact the main business of Citibank is in Latin America, and Shanghai is a tasteless place with not outstanding business volume.

Especially after the outbreak of the economic crisis, Citibank's business volume shrank sharply, and Rockefeller, the largest shareholder, left, and Citigroup was even more precarious in the storm.Shanghai has suffered another baptism of war, and Shanghai Citigroup is just struggling to support it, and it may collapse at any time.

Comrade Quinn, who was extremely depressed, simply exiled himself completely, drinking and drinking all day long, and partying all night long.

At noon, Quinn came to the bank from home with sleepy eyes, and was stopped by Guo Shuyi as soon as he entered the door, "Mr. Quinn, a big customer has been waiting for you today."

Quinn had a good impression of Guo Shuyi. This Chinese is hardworking and a rare talent in the bank.Seeing his excitement, Quinn also lifted his spirits a little.It seems that today is a good omen. These days are bad things every day, and finally there is good news.

After he finished listening to Guo Shuyi's narration, his mind cleared up instantly. Did God hear his prayer?
"Oh, dear Mister Lee, are you a holy envoy sent by God?" Quinn was very tall. When hugging Chen Jia, Chen Jia deeply felt his enthusiasm, a strong hangover The smell of alcohol nearly knocked him out.

"I heard that you have a lot of silver dollars in your hand? You must know that the United States is now eating a lot of silver. This is an excellent business. God, Mister Lee, you really have a vision. Our Citibank is the largest bank in the United States. , your cooperation with us is the best choice and the wisest choice.”

Quinn let Chen Jia onto the sofa, then took out a cigar from the box on the table and handed it to Chen Jia, "Cuban cigars, the best in the world."

Chen Jia smiled and waved his hands, "No."

"Oh God, do you know what you're missing? Mister Lee, how many silver dollars do you have?"

Chen Jia watched him light the cigar, and then puffed out a burst of white mist, the room was filled with the smell of tobacco, yes, it was really fragrant.

"I have half a million on hand right now, and more if the price is right."

"How many are there?"

"700 tons."

Quinn's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears, "How much?"

"700 tons."

"God, did you make a mistake? Are you sure it's a ton? A ton is a thousand kilograms, and a kilogram is equal to a kilogram. God, is the Chinese unit of weight two, 16 taels a catty or 700 taels a catty? I don't know Confused. Hey Mister Lee, do you understand? Are you still holding on to [-] tons?"

Chen Jia leaned back in the chair and spread her hands, "Dear Mr. Quinn, I'm a graduate of New York University, of course I know what I'm talking about. Seven hundred tons, Mr. Quinn, please make a price."

Seeing the sincerity in Chen Jia's eyes, Quinn was throbbing in his heart. After finally forcing himself to calm down, he finally said, "It's $1.29 an ounce. Mister Lee, this is the best price in China, bar none. .”

Quinn's blue eyes were full of strange colors.

"Okay. That's $1.29. Mr. Quinn, what's the price of sulfa now?"

Quinn didn't react for a while, "Sulfa? Oh no, no, we are talking about silver dollars now."

"I've finished talking about silver dollars. Seven hundred tons of silver dollars. The price is $1.29 an ounce. I'm asking about sulfa. What's the price?"

"Sulfa? Mister Lee, I'm from Citibank, not a hospital. How do I know the price of sulfa?"

Guo Shuyi on the side couldn't help reminding, "Mr. Quinn, the current price of sulfonamide is five yuan and three pills. During the war, you can't buy it with money. Simply put, a box of sulfonamide is life."

It's true that Quinn is a playboy, but it doesn't mean he has no brains. When he heard the price, he suddenly understood that sulfa is very expensive. Isn't this just a business?

"Mister Lee, do you have sulfa? How much?"

Chen Jia stretched out a finger and shook it, "No, no, I don't have sulfonamides. But I have the formula and manufacturing process of penicillin, an anti-inflammatory drug that is a hundred times better than sulfonamides."

"Penicillin? What? A hundred times better than sulfa? Got a sample? Or a doctor's note?"

"I have samples now. I want to build a factory in the United States to produce penicillin in large quantities. You two also know that Europe and Asia are at war, and the demand for anti-inflammatory drugs is astronomical. If the scale of the war continues to expand, it will even exceed the last time the world Great War, gentlemen, how much? Frankly, maybe I could buy half of America."

Quinn and Guo Shuyi saw the black-faced man in front of them talking here and there, and their brains couldn't keep up.Penicillin, which is well-known in later generations, is still an extremely unfamiliar name at this time, but because of their knowledge of sulfonamide, they have a feeling of ignorance about what kind of penicillin is [-] times more effective.

"More than 70% of human diseases are related to inflammation. With penicillin, many people can be saved from death. Penicillin is the magic medicine to save mankind, and penicillin is the magic medicine to prolong human life."

"Mr. Quinn, I have studied in the United States. I know the land of America. Are you interested in working together to do this?"

Chen Jia took out a few bottles of medicine from his purse, "This is penicillin. Because of my crude equipment, the seal of this bottle is not good enough. Fortunately, I just made it a few days ago. I can try it today and see the effect." .”

Quinn looked at several small bottles on the table, which contained a white powdery substance.In Quinn's eyes, the inside of the bottle is golden powder, the kind that is pure gold.

"Go to the hospital, find a few patients with severe inflammation and try it, and make sure that one shot will work."

Quinn couldn't sit still, so he immediately picked up the phone and called the nearby mission hospital to confirm that there were several patients with severe inflammation in the hospital, and immediately urged Chen Jia to go to the hospital with him.

The three rushed to the hospital, and Dean Collins was already waiting at the entrance of the hospital.

"Oh God, do you guys have medicines that are more effective than sulfa? You can't lie to me, or I won't see you in the future."

Corinth's oily bald head reflected the light in the sun, and it looked a little like a Buddha's light.

Quinn held out his big hand to hold him tightly, pointed at Chen Jia and said with a smile: "It's not me, it's my partner who has it. Today I came here to see the effect. If the effect is good, you will have a magic medicine when you see a doctor in the future." gone."

In the hospital, Collins looked at the white powder in the bottle and always felt a little unreliable.Well, let's give it to the most serious patients, who will best prove the efficacy of the medicine if they are cured.If... It can't be saved anyway.

Drug testing is not as strict as in later generations. Animals are tested first, and then people are tested. Finally, small-scale grouping is used. After a long period of time, it is necessary to observe whether there are any sequelae. Now, as long as the patient agrees, it can be used.

"We admitted a patient with pneumonia. After a week of treatment, the condition got worse and worse. The high fever persisted, and the cough was accompanied by bloodshot eyes. I don't know if this medicine will work?"

After listening to Collins' introduction, everyone in the office looked at Chen Jia, but saw Chen Jia with a wry smile, "Dean Collins, penicillin can treat pneumonia, but...but there are several types of pneumonia, and penicillin cannot treat all of them." kind. Where it might fit in is inflammation from gunshot wounds, knife wounds and burns."

Collins was obviously disappointed, so he dug out two cases from the shelf, "One is tissue infection and festering caused by gunshot wounds, and the other is burns. Mister Lee, are you sure you can't treat pneumonia?"

Apparently, Collins did not give up. For a doctor, it may be his greatest wish to save a dying patient.

"As I said, pneumonia can be treated, but not all pneumonia can be cured."

Collins can't let it go. The current understanding of pneumonia is pneumonia. How can there be several versions?
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, Quinn laughed and said, "Dean Collins, anyway, this pneumonia patient is hopeless, so let's try it, in case he is the kind of pneumonia that Mister Lee mentioned. The other two are the same. Give it a try and we'll just have to see the effect."

"OK, let's try it." Collins finally made up his mind, just as Quinn said, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.Sometimes it is much easier for a layman to make a decision because there are not many options for him.Professionals will consider all aspects, so naturally they are not so straightforward.

Chen Jia explained how to use penicillin, especially before doing a skin test to avoid allergies from killing people.
