Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 861: Targeting the Pharmaceutical Industry

With the transaction of elixirs, unless they form a life-and-death feud with Morgan Jr. and McDonald, it is basically impossible for the two families to be hostile to Chu Xiangqian in the future.

No, Morgan Jr. and McDonald may not necessarily represent the two families, so Chu Xiangqian can probably only gain the friendship of the two.

Even these two guys, for their own benefit, would probably hide the matter of the elixir from the family.

As for forcing Chu Xiangqian to hand over the secret recipe of the elixir, Chu Xiangqian was not bragging. Even if he gave the recipe to the two of them, at most they could only make an elixir with the same efficacy as that of his father-in-law Jin Yidan.

That thing had no effect when Gong Er was critically ill for the first time, and Chu Xiangqian didn't really care about the prescription.

If they have better ones, they will sell the second-rate ones. This is the same as what China does with its military equipment.

Moreover, although the +1 pill is expensive, as long as Chu Xiangqian is willing to sell it, or exchange it with him for something, anyone with a brain will not make an enemy of Chu Xiangqian.

With Chu Xiangqian's status and financial resources, he is no longer someone who can be easily manipulated.

As long as the transaction was honest, Chu Xiangqian would be happy for someone to exchange antiques for elixirs.

If there is a large pharmaceutical group that is willing to let me spend money to invest in their company.

You can give the pill recipe to the other party as a free gift.

Using the power of technology to improve the recipe is a good thing for Chu Xiangqian.

With Tit and Marten there, the pharmaceutical company's laboratory was basically as easy for him to sneak into as his own home.

If tits and martens don't work, the worst that can happen is that we can use white mice for experiments as pets.

There are a lot of these things in medical research institutions. If one appears, the people inside will just think it's an escaped rat.

I don't even think of it as a spy.

By taking the newly researched prescriptions and herbs into the Novice Village, you should be able to create an enhanced version of the finished medicine just like the 'Re-created Golden Pill'.

Therefore, sticking to the prescription is simply not feasible for Chu Xiangqian.

Little Morgan and McDonald took the pills and left, and immediately found someone to test the medicine, just like the Philips couple.

However, because they had the case records of the Philips couple finding someone to test the drug, they discussed it and decided not to separately find someone to test the drug.

Instead, they left one and waited for three days, confirming that the patient they had found, who was about to die of old age and had already been admitted to the intensive care unit of the hospital, had indeed recovered some of his physical function.

He immediately took the remaining pill and found a medical university, sponsored a secret experimental team, and began to test the ingredients of the pill.

In fact, Philip and Eliza, a couple, also secretly hired someone to study a pill in their hands.

We are not stupid. If this can really be replicated, finished and mass-produced.

Just based on the restoration of body functions, this company can become a pharmaceutical giant in the future.

Not to mention that if a seriously ill person takes a pill of this medicine before surgery and it can increase the success rate of the surgery, then selling it for $1 or $1 would be no problem.

Annual sales easily reach hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars.

Chu Xiangqian also understood this principle, but he did not easily enter the medical industry.

In the European and American worlds, medicine, petroleum, and military industry are all complexes with extremely powerful capabilities.

Rather than waiting for your own pharmaceutical company to grow to a certain size, be targeted, and get into trouble, it is better to invest technology and money and bring in giants like JPMorgan to do it together.

Chu Xiangqian’s requirements were not high; technology and money accounted for 30% of the shares.

If financing is needed for future production expansion, I will pay money to keep the shares in the first few times, and then sell the shares slowly after the company goes public and the stock price reaches a certain level.

Investing in companies with huge potential for future development and compounding profits will have greater prospects than holding on to shares of pharmaceutical companies.

In the end, you only need to keep 10%, and you will be the major shareholder after decades.

However, when Morgan Jr. and McDonald left, Chu Xiangqian had already sent Shanque and Huang Diao'er to follow them.

When they found a medical laboratory to conduct the experiment, Chu Xiangqian saw all the complete data and experimental progress clearly.

Chu Xiangqian actually sincerely hopes that the experiment will have good results, but unfortunately many Western medicines these days are still in the early stages of development.

Not to mention understanding Chinese medicine.

Moreover, in order for Jin Yitan to keep the secret recipe of the 'Re-creating Golden Elixir', he mixed in several useless medicinal materials during the production process.

Even the refining process involves repeated boiling and steaming.

Otherwise, it wouldn't take 49 days to refine the elixir every time.

Chu Xiangqian estimated that during this process, the medicinal properties of the herbs might have changed from A to B.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian knew that his father-in-law might have wasted most of the 49 days, but even if he only spent one-tenth or one-twelfth of the time, that would still be 5 to 10 days.

Forget about relying on these Western medicines to crack the problem. Even testing the ingredients in the pills, we can't figure out what Chinese medicine is used.

As a result, Chu Xiangqian would not be in a position to propose setting up a pharmaceutical company first.

Although relying on the Novice Village's pharmacy, as long as there are enough medicinal materials and gold coupons, you can have as many +1 pills as you want.

But in reality, anyone who knows about the refining of Chinese medicine knows that finished Chinese medicine can rarely be refined on a large scale.

Firstly, the cost is too high.

Secondly, if the secret recipe is leaked, this medicine will become a common product. It will be no problem to make money, but it will be extremely difficult to guarantee profit.

Thirdly, several rare and precious medicinal materials used in the Re-creation of the Golden Elixir are difficult to purchase in large quantities.

Chu Xiangqian thought that if the components of Western medicine could be analyzed, they could be used to replace these rare and precious medicinal materials through artificial synthesis.

Then use the synthesized materials to make better pills in the Novice Village pharmacy.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangqian still overestimated the medical technology of this era.

Seeing that there was no result, Chu Xiangqian could only let Shantiao and Huangdiaoer come back first. From then on, every time he came to London, he would send the two little guys to the secret laboratory to take a peek a few times.

If there are no results, then just wait and see. To be honest, Chu Xiangqian is not short of money.

And if you simply want to make money by investing in large pharmaceutical companies, then just buy Bayer shares slowly.

After putting aside the issue of making money, Chu Xiangqian's mind was basically focused on Margaret and Chu Jingxing.

Because her postpartum recovery was excellent, it can even be said that giving birth had no effect on Margaret.

The girl suppressed her restlessness and stayed well for two weeks, but she couldn't sit still anymore.

Two days ago, Chu Xiangqian checked Margaret's pulse and confirmed that the girl had fully recovered.

But he still kept her pressed down and let her rest for two more days.

Today, Margaret hugged her arms and shed a few pitiful tears. Only then did Chu Xiangqian really lift the restrictions on her.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was not hot in the morning, I personally held Chu Jingxing on the huge balcony on the second floor of the manor. From afar, I heard Margaret's laughter as she rode a horse that had been trained for almost a month and jogged on the grass of the manor. I knew that this girl was really depressed because of the restrictions during this period.

Half an hour later, the two maids who were in charge of taking care of Chu Jingxing worriedly reminded Chu Xiangqian that the little guy was not even a month old.

Chu Xiangqian laughed. The little thing in his arms had a physical strength of 5 points, so a little wind was no problem for him.

But Chu Xiangqian also understood that the two maids had good intentions, so he handed the little one over to the wet nurse who had fed and taken care of Margaret.

The two thin dogs following him stood up and whined a few times at Chu Xiangqian as a greeting.

Followed Chu Jingxing into the inner room.

These two dogs are very responsible. Ever since Chu Jingxing was born, they have been acting as guard dogs and guarding around Chu Jingxing according to Chu Xiangqian's instructions.

Even to solve the sanitation problem, one person stayed behind to guard Chu Jingxing.

The two maids and two wet nurses also learned from Margaret that these two dogs were guard dogs that were specially bred in advance by the male owner Chu Xiangqian from the Tianchao family.

The performance of the two dogs during this period was also unanimously recognized by Margaret, the nanny and the wet nurse.

Not to mention strangers or servants in the manor who were not allowed to approach Chu Jingxing, even cats or other small animals were not allowed to approach.

Moreover, as Chu Xiangqian took them to the Novice Village for leveling every night, their levels became higher and higher, and their physique and strength became stronger and stronger.

It looks like a puppy, but it is actually so strong that it can easily bite to death even a wolf.

Fortunately, when they are not in combat, these two puppies look very cute.

As for his performance of watching over Chu Jingxing all day long, even Philip and Elizabeth had hinted at their envy when they came to visit Chu Jingxing.

They hope Chu Xiangqian can also help them breed two such dogs to accompany their 5-year-old son Andre.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangqian directly used the reason of "not daring to take risks" and shook his head to refuse.

Then he used the excuse that this kind of dog was extremely difficult to breed and he begged his elders for a long time, and only because Chu Jingxing was far away in London was he able to get these two dogs.

In order to show that he was not talking nonsense, he used Da Zhuang and Hong Niu as examples.

The two dogs that were specially used to protect himself are now used by him to guard his eldest son Chu Jingrong.

Philip and Elizabeth felt a little sorry, but they didn't quite believe what Chu Xiangqian said.

But his concerns are understandable. After all, in the minds of the couple, no matter how well-behaved a dog is, no one can guarantee that it will never hurt a child.

Therefore, the royal family never keeps big dogs, not even medium-sized dogs.

These two small dogs were used for hunting in ancient times, and their size would not be small when they grow up.

But Margaret was so excited and happy when she heard it.

As the hostess who has actually come into contact with Dazhuang, Hongniu, and these two greyhounds, Margaret knows very well that her man is politely rejecting her sister and brother-in-law.

Moreover, Chu Jingrong, as the eldest son and grandson, did not get two guard dogs, forcing Chu Xiangqian, the father, to use his own guard dogs to protect Chu Jingrong.

Does that mean that in the minds of the elders of the Chu family, Chu Jingxing, as the second son, is no less important than the eldest son, Chu Jingrong?

This alone made Margaret have a very good impression of the elders of the Chu family.

I wish that when I go to China in the future, I can follow the customs that the Chinese people in London have learned and greet each other with formal greetings.

Chu Xiangqian watched the two dogs catch up with the nanny, then turned around and stood on the balcony to watch for a few more minutes.

Feeling a bit bored, he simply left the manor and asked someone to bring over the 1-meter-tall Arabian stallion.

The horse trainer who was in charge of training the four horses for the Olympic equestrian events was very upset that a tall adult male like Chu Xiangqian was riding the champion horses.

But Chu Xiangqian was not only the horse owner, but also the financial sponsor, and a knight appointed by Elizabeth herself, so he could only complain a few words in his heart.

As Chu Xiangqian was getting familiar with the horse, he repeatedly reminded him of the precautions.

Chu Xiangqian ignored the horse trainer. He knew his own horse well, so how could he get hurt just because he was riding it?

Even if the horse is really injured, the worst that can happen is that we can find a place with trees for shelter and take the horse into the Novice Village.

After drinking a bottle of blood medicine, you can recover from your injuries in just a dozen seconds.

Without waiting for the nagging horse trainer to continue his instructions, Chu Xiangqian jumped onto the horse, squeezed his legs together, and rode away on the horse.

The horse trainer was so angry that he almost cursed.

Meanwhile, his partner was somewhat dissatisfied.

But he said to his companion, "The boss auctions more than 4 purebred horses of the three major breeds every year. Even if this horse is really injured, it is possible that two or even four equally powerful Arabian horses will be transported in a week or two."

The horse trainer was stunned, then shook his head with a helpless sigh.

If he had Chu Xiangqian's channels, he could buy one or two hundred of the best or even top three thoroughbred horses every year.

Indeed, no one would care about a horse that can't race on a speed track and can only participate in Olympic equestrian events.

And if you really think about it, Andalucia and Hanover were the ones who carried Margaret to win both the show jumping and dressage championships four years ago.

At this moment, their condition was no worse than those two 1-meter-tall Arabian stallions.

In order to ensure victory, Chu Xiangqian took the two horses into the Novice Village and upgraded them to level 2.

But he was also worried that after adding points, a certain attribute would double, which would lead to too outstanding performance in the Olympic arena.

Chu Xiangqian at that time was far from what he is now in terms of wealth, connections, and power.

So we do things very carefully.

Fortunately, a level 2 horse is one or two points stronger than a level 1 horse, even without any additional points.

This is already a huge advantage, otherwise Margaret would not have been able to win two championships in a row.

If we add some points to the pure black Andalusian and the pure black Hanoverian, it's hard to say about the dressage, but in the show jumping competition, as long as Margaret doesn't fall off the horse, she will definitely win.

However, Chu Xiangqian has made huge profits from horse racing in recent years, so if he really wants to add points, he will only add points to the four Arabian horses.

But flying to Tokyo with those two horses was a kind of guarantee.

Chu Xiangqian even felt that if someone were to make a move, the two Andalusians and Hanoverians would be the first choice.

A few minutes later, Chu stepped forward and approached Margaret, who was letting herself go.

Not only did the girl not restrain herself, she also rode her horse quickly over, made a half circle, and her horse was level with Chu Xiangqian's horse. She smiled and said she wanted to race.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at the girl, but since he couldn't gallop at full speed on his horse, it was okay for him to run a few laps with her.

More than ten days passed unknowingly, and when Chu Jingxing was about to give birth to his first month old, Chu Xiangqian unexpectedly received a call from his second uncle.
