I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 246 Great voyage, the disease that kills the most
The process of establishing the pharmaceutical company was smoother than Luden expected.

Just with the talents he has recruited, plus the start-up capital of 50 pounds, and good relationships in all aspects, it is difficult to lose money!
The first batch of samples of the Gatling machine gun was produced quickly, and for this matter, busy people in the company were thrown off their feet.

During the sample production process, Albert was responsible for collating data and adjusting production line parameters to improve product performance while balancing costs.

To be honest, asking Albert to do this kind of work is a bit inferior.

The other party insisted on doing so.

After finishing the commissioning work, Albert made a new request to Luden.

"As a pharmaceutical company, if we want to make the most money, we should solve the biggest diseases.

For this reason, I want to do a market research to investigate the various reasons why people die of illness, so as to develop targeted drugs.”

Obviously, Albert still did not let go of the previous argument between the two.

This request was reasonable, and Luden had no reason to refuse.

Not only did he approve 1000 pounds to Albert as funding, but he also asked Todd to take a few bodyguards and follow Albert to travel around for research.

According to Lu Deng's plan, they will complete the three-country investigation of [Little United Kingdom] - [Highland Republic] - [Shen Nation] in half a year.

In any place, people have been arranged early to cooperate with Albert's work.

Even some official private information can be provided to Albert for review.

Of course, it is impossible to take away.

While Albert was researching, the medical company set up the first batch of production lines to mass-produce Gatling machine guns.

Just started, 20 machine guns and tens of thousands of bullets can be produced every day!
When everything is adjusted to the best, the production capacity can be easily doubled!
And these medical devices have also been divided up by orders from all over the world.

The company was gradually getting on the right track, and Lu Deng was not idle, and began to work on other things.

Overnight, a captain from Shenbang became a hot figure in Wudu.

The captain named Columbus completed an amazing voyage and brought back hundreds of times the return to the investor, Mr. Luden!

Of course, all this comes at a price.

Columbus lost three fingers, two toes, and a scar on his face during the voyage.

These scars are like military medals, making his story more believable.

Columbus, who returned to the foggy city, boasted to everyone about his sailing experience, and at the same time planned the next sailing.

He is going to find the legendary new continent!

It is said that there are countless gold, fertile land, and... elves!

The upper-class people in the foggy city were a little skeptical at first about what Columbus said.

Unexpectedly, the famous Sir Alex spent a lot of money at a dinner party, investing [-] pounds in Columbus!

With Ferguson's investment, others gradually became bolder.

These funds are enough for Columbus to buy a large ship and gather enough people to complete the next voyage.

In fact, Columbus did the same.

Of course, things can't all be smooth sailing.

Columbus, who was sought after, soon fell out with his original benefactor, Mr. Luden.

The way the two parties ended their cooperation was not gentlemanly enough, and it is hard to describe it decently.

However, after leaving Luden, Columbus still had the support of the Sir and others, and the Sir even registered a stock on the Fortune Exchange for Columbus.

After raising nearly [-] pounds of funds, Columbus took a ship with hundreds of crew members and sailed away from the port with confidence to find the legendary New World!

Three months later, Columbus sent people back to report that although they failed to find the New World, they found some archipelagos and gained a lot.

Although fresh water and resources are still sufficient, out of risk control considerations, Columbus decided to end the voyage early and embark on the return journey.

Another month later, Columbus' ship docked at a certain port of the Shenbang Empire, and sold most of the harvest of the trip, leaving only the most precious batch.

After replenishing the fuel, Columbus drove the boat back to Wudu at full speed.

He came back with goods worth [-] pounds!

In less than half a year, all investors have received double returns!
Sir Alex Ferguson, the biggest investor, of course took the biggest piece of the pie.

After people got the real dividends, they immediately fell into madness, and the port became a sea of ​​celebration.

Many shareholders have asked Columbus to set sail again, and they are willing to take out their previous profits and principal, and bet on Columbus again!
Even Mr. Luden, who had a stiff relationship with Columbus before, euphemistically proposed that he was willing to put aside the past and cooperate again.

Columbus resolutely rejected Mr. Luden's kindness!
He is a vengeful person, and he is unwilling to share this opportunity to make money with Lu Deng!
Columbus announced that he would form a fleet to go south to search for the fabled New World again.

In order to build a fleet, Columbus registered a stock on the Fubao Exchange, and everyone can share the dividends of the great voyage by buying the stock.

With all the previous wealth, Columbus wants to form a fleet, at least 100 million pounds!

Shares are limited to 10 shares, each worth £10.

After Columbus returns from the voyage, all income will be divided into 10 shares and distributed to all shareholders through the Fubao Exchange.

The first batch of people who bought stocks had to wait for the fleet to sail out of port before they could trade sailing stocks.As for the price of the transaction, it follows the market fluctuations, just like the normal stock price rules.

In this vigorous voyage, everyone is engulfed by the times and gradually goes crazy.

In addition to Columbus, many navigators also announced their own voyage plans one after another, which won the enthusiasm of the market.

However, Columbus is the most popular and sought-after among all navigators!
The 10 shares he customized were quickly sold out by the market. It is said that even the old king deep in the palace sent people to buy a lot of shares!

Amidst the turmoil in the Fog City, one name was being mentioned less and less: Mr. Luden.

This barbarian from the Kingdom of God seems to have lost the vitality of the past, was left out by the market, no longer magical, and gradually disappeared behind the scenes.

Because of Columbus's relationship, Luden even had a few quarrels with the Sir, and the communication between the two parties was also less.

On this day, the autumn air is crisp.

As usual, Luden was sitting in the dining room drinking coffee, reading newspapers, and chatting with friends.

The person sitting opposite him was none other than the Secretary-General of the Traffic Management Office.

It has been a whole year since the secretary-general was assigned to the Traffic Management Office!
At first, people thought that he was only treated cold temporarily, but with the ability of the secretary-general, he would soon make a comeback and be reused again.

There was no movement for a whole year.

Even if you burn a cold stove, you will gradually lose patience.

It was finally determined that this promising secretary-general was really abandoned.

From a bright future to a bright future, it only takes one night, maybe it's a big shot.

The secretary-general is also reading the newspaper, and the traffic management office has very little business, because they can't manage traffic well at all.

He said abruptly,
"Mr. Luden, the guys on Nanhenwumei Island have been a little restless in recent years, and the elderly often worry about it."

Luden replied seriously,

"I suggest that the elderly don't worry about it and take care of themselves."

The Secretary-General showed a slight smile, then changed the topic,
"Let's talk about you, Mr. Luden, is there anything interesting recently?"

"Really."

Luden said casually,

"Corral Mining is fighting for a gold mining license, and I don't know if things will go well."

The Secretary-General nodded slightly, "I think it will go well."

"Really? Let me borrow your good words!"

Luden put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the Secretary-General.
"What did you just say, the old man is worrying? This is not a good thing. It is the duty of us young people to solve the problems of the old man."

Without any dirty deals, without any insider information, the troubles of the two were resolved at the same time.

All are happy.

After the Secretary-General got the answer he wanted, he stood up and said goodbye, and went back to report.

And Luden continued his peaceful life.

For Lu Deng, who has already gained a firm foothold in Fog City, he can send blessings as he wants.

Now, he has freed up a lot of cash and is going to set off a big firework in Wudu, so as to give the simple people of Wudu a lot of insight.

The layout has been long enough, it's time to cut the leeks! No, it's time to send blessings!

Not long after, Luden received another summons:
Albert completed the field research and is expected to return to Wudu within seven days!

Seven days later, port.

Luden in a coat stood beside the carriage, welcoming the returning Albert.

Compared with a few months ago, Albert is thinner and darker, his eye sockets are sunken, but his eyes are brighter, and his body is slightly bent, as if the fatigue of the journey has not dissipated.

Todd has not changed much. He is very used to sailing at sea or trekking on land, as if he was born to do this.

Sitting in the open carriage, Luden did not talk about research-related topics. Instead, he congratulated Albert on the successful research and suggested that he rest for a few days before he is busy with work.

"No, Mr. Luden, I can report my research results to you now."

Albert rejected Luden's offer and began to report to his boss on the spot.

He said slowly,
"We went to three countries, seven kingdoms, and [-] city-states or small towns, with a total research population of more than [-] million. The source of the data is the dictation or documents of local officials, and we have also conducted on-the-spot investigations.

Finally, after 5 months and 17 days, we found the disease that kills the most humans"

Having said that, Albert stopped and slowly closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a wordless sadness in Albert's eyes, and there was even a bit of crying in his voice. This genius with super IQ choked up and said,

"The disease that kills the most human beings is..."

Albert announced the results of his own desperate research,

"hunger."
