Zhu Tian: The Fiery Years Begin with Taking Qin Huairu as a Concubine

Chapter 138 Two Great Masters

I feel they are a bit funny. They came here as soon as they heard the slightest rumor. They don't know their place.

Zhang Kaiwu took a sip of tea and said with a smile:

"Your information is quite accurate, but you are overthinking it!"

"That was a laboratory that produced procaine penicillin. Not to mention that they didn't produce any product, even if they did, I couldn't buy it."

Mr. Hu said with a smile:
"We heard that the cost price of penicillin is only about one dollar. We thought that if Peking could produce it, the price would be cheaper in the future!"

Mr. Su Da put his arm around him and asked in surprise:
"Mr. Zhang! Your wife is the director, and her grandfather is a top official in the hospital. Why can't you buy it?"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her, this is a bit too much, bullying others with violence! ?

This feels a bit strange, he said with a smile:

"The cost of penicillin is one dollar, and that's in a large pharmaceutical factory."

"You only know that this one in Peking is used to produce penicillin. It produces procaine penicillin. It can only be stored frozen. It is a small laboratory product. The maximum output is about one thousand a month."

"The cost is no less than twenty dollars, and it can only be used in hospitals. It's different from the penicillin produced in the large factories in the United States! That little bit of product has to be used by everyone, just imagine it!"

He didn't think that Mr. Hu and the others could go to the hospital for treatment, as it was not their turn.

The maximum production capacity is only one thousand. With so many hospitals, how could they possibly use them if they don't have any status?

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said in a provocative way:

"Mr. Zhang is the dean's grandson-in-law, so he has no dignity at all!?"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at her with disdain and said with a smile:

"If I need it, or my family needs it, I don't have to ask for it. Someone will take the initiative to give it to me no matter how much I need. I don't have to spend a penny."

"But that's someone else's money, I won't take it, understand!? Do you think others will give you face!?"

"Let's take a step back and say that once you buy the penicillin and take it out, the medicine is useless."

Mr. Su was confused.

The two great masters didn’t care about Zhang Kaiwu’s ridicule. Since they were of different status, they just had to endure it!
Mr. Hu asked hurriedly:

"Is that penicillin useless once it's taken out?!"

Zhang Kaiwu held a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile:

"Yes! I have made it very clear just now. It needs to be frozen before use. Even if Peking can only produce a small amount, the price will not be reduced."

"The significance of that laboratory is mainly to research products and overcome production processes, not to enable mass production."

"You don't even have a refrigerator. You're overthinking. Instead of setting your goals so high, why don't you think of other ways?"

Mr. Su Da asked hurriedly:

"Mr. Zhang! What's the solution?"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:

"In Dayiyang Trading Company, they sell sulfa. Although it's not as effective as penicillin, it can be used to some extent."

"It's really that even sulfa can't cure it. There's nothing else that can be done."

Mr. Hu said awkwardly:
"We asked, but they can't buy it now! The control is very strict now, and even hospitals can't contact us because the production is too low!"

Just thinking about it casually, he understood the reason. Now there are wars everywhere. If it's not because of low production, then it's probably because of requisition, right?

Zhang Kaiwu stopped talking and drank his tea in silence.

He has medicine, and plenty of it, but he can earn the money but not spend it!
Also!

Don’t be fooled by their excited talk. If they really had the money to buy their lives, they would have been sent to the hospital for treatment long ago.

Although sulfa drugs are expensive in the Peking City Hospital, they are still available for purchase.

Two large samples cost one yuan, and there are plenty of them. This thing is mainly strictly controlled, and the output is actually very high.

Sulfonamide’s predecessor is a dye, and its production process is really not complicated.

The reason why they asked Zhang Kaiwu about these things was probably because they thought the price of penicillin would drop in the future! ?

How is this possible?

Twenty years later, penicillin was still a scarce commodity.

Mr. Su Da pulled his arm and asked in a low voice:
"Mr. Zhang! Besides these two medicines, is there any other way?"

Zhang Kaiwu stood up and said with a smile:

"No! I have to go now if nothing else. We can talk later when we have time."

It's possible to go to the hospital for treatment, but the problem is that they don't seem to have the ability to do so.

Mr. Su Da smiled and held him tightly, saying:
"Don't be in a hurry! Have a drink of tea. My tea is pretty good."

Mr. Hu put his arm around him and said with a smile:

"Thanks to you for clearing up our confusion today, otherwise we would still be dreaming and waiting to buy penicillin later!"

"Sit down for a while, let's chat. Where does Mr. Zhang usually like to go fishing?"

Zhang Kaiwu looked at them with a mixture of laughter and tears, and then carefully examined their faces without changing his expression.

Since opera singers often have to wear heavy makeup, they all suffer from mild lead powder poisoning.

So their complexions are a bit pale, and their makeup is marinated! ?
Judging from their faces, they are indeed beauties of department level.

In fact, when he entered Xiao Fengxian, he observed the young gentlemen. They were not wearing makeup so early in the morning, so it was easy to tell them apart. Basically, they were all.

This is also quite interesting!
It's ironic.

In order to have a further career in acting, the prostitutes have to keep themselves clean! ?

It seems that what they said does make some sense. Those who can't survive here will lose their virginity.

She went to a second-rate brothel, became a prostitute, and then fell step by step.

Finally, he worked as a prostitute in a third-rate brothel and as a whore in a brothel.

Both gentlemen are beautiful women, each with an oval face.

Or, the women in brothels basically have oval faces, which makes it easier to put on makeup.

A melon-shaped face with a pointed face is not suitable for heavy makeup for opera performances.

The reason why these two great gentlemen stand out is that they have some real qualities in their looks.

True to its name.

One face is charming and attractive, the other expression is pure and beautiful.

If it weren't for this, he would have run away long ago.

Surrounded by two beautiful women, it was rare for a man to lose face on the spot.

Especially their voices were melodious and pleasant to the ears, worthy of more than ten years of hard practice.

How amazing would it be if this were to be sung quietly? ?

………………

pity!

They are so troublesome.

Behind them, there are upper houses controlling them.

Otherwise, how can you have the chance to become a big boss! ?

At least they have a dock system, and he is most afraid of trouble.

Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"I've been so busy studying lately, how can I have time to go fishing!?"

Mr. Su Da pulled him aside and asked with a smile:

"Can their condition be controlled for a while? I've seen many Chinese medicine practitioners say it can be treated, and they all have their own secret recipes."

Zhang Kaiwu didn't mind sounding the alarm for them. He smiled and said:

"It can't be cured! You can't afford a Chinese medicine doctor who can treat it well. The Chinese medicine treatment plan is even more expensive! This disease is actually a blood disease. The symptoms on the surface of the skin look scary, but they are not the main point. The poison is in the blood."

"Many Chinese medicine prescriptions only use smears to eliminate superficial symptoms, but after a period of time, the symptoms will recur."

"This is more dangerous because in the late stage, penicillin can't cure it."

Mr. Hu and Mr. Su listened to him awkwardly. They didn't expect it to be like this.

Zhang Kaiwu hit them hard again and said with a smile:

"This virus can be transmitted even if you are not in the same room with someone else. You have to be careful about your health. It can be transmitted through hands and clothes. Don't do anything stupid!"

Mr. Su said in surprise:
"Hands can be contagious, is there such a thing?!"

Zhang Kaiwu and Mr. Hu looked at her in surprise. You didn't use your hands! ?

Mr. Su smiled awkwardly and said:

"What do you mean? I didn't control my emotions just now. I was just too surprised!"

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and said:
"They are really sick. I'd better advise them to go to the hospital and get sulfa treatment, otherwise the situation will only get worse."

"Mr. Su, you have to be careful for a while. If you feel itchy, go to the hospital for a check-up immediately." Mr. Su gave him an awkward wink and said with a smile:

"If I have a problem or feel itchy, I will come to play with you immediately!"

Ha ha ha ha ha!
Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"No problem, I'll heal you. I really have to go, let's go fishing together some other time."

………………

The two masters escorted him out and watched Zhang Kaiwu leave.

Mr. Hu said with a smile:

"Sister Su Xiaoxiao! Are you in love? Why are you hugging someone's arm and won't let go?!"

You mean me? Mr. Su said with a smile:
"Hu Meiniang! The way you looked at him, it was as if you wanted to swallow him up. You didn't hug his arm? You actually said that I was in love with him!? Humph!"

Mr. Hu smiled awkwardly and said:

"What a pity! Mr. Zhang's eyes are too clear, and he looks down on people like us. I guess there is no hope for you and me!"

Mr. Su said with a smile:

"I'll ask him out fishing some other day when I have time. You've got so much talk, don't follow me!"

Mr. Hu said with a smile:

"I have no interest in fishing! Go back and let those sisters figure out how to go fishing on their own!"

"Who wants them to be unable to keep their promise and go and make that dirty money?"

Mr. Su said:

"I thought that if Peking could produce its own penicillin, it would become cheaper. Now this is what is happening."

"I really need to go back and warn them. This is no joke. If anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll kick them out immediately."

Mr. Hu smiled and said:

"Su Xiaoxiao! Don't make yourself sound like a bodhisattva. Isn't that what happened?!"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said:

"Hu Meiniang! Although it was also because of that incident, I also like Mr. Zhang's talent."

"If Mr. Zhang doesn't despise me, I can also become a good person!"

Hu Meiniang said with a smile:
"I don't care what you think, but please don't ruin my good thing!"

Su Xiaoxiao glared at her and said:
"Exactly! That's what I thought too!"

………………

Hu Meiniang and Su Xiaoxiao must be having something else going on, but they are trying to hide it, and he is too lazy to bother with it.

Things like buying medicine are just excuses.

Zhang Kaiwu rode his bicycle to the hospital and went to Zhu Zhiyin first.

As luck would have it, Zhu Zhiyin happened to go to class today.

Mu Chunhua and Lou Xiao'e were the only ones in the room. When they saw him coming, they came up together.

Those who want to make tea make tea, and those who want to massage do so.

Zhang Kaiwu was lying on the sofa reading a book. Less than ten minutes later, the two girls started drinking.

Feeling deep and depressed!

never mind!

He just treated it as practicing the Su Nu Heart Sutra, and time always passed quickly as he enjoyed the joy of practicing both medicine and Taoism.

After Zhu Zhiyin came back, they went to have lunch together.

Several old deans had already arrived, and Zhang Kaiwu greeted them with a smile.

We caught a few old men and started asking them questions and discussing academic matters at the dinner table.

If an ordinary person asked like this, the old men would have run away or gotten angry.

Eat without talking and sleep without talking.

But discussing academic matters with Zhang Kaiwu is also a very interesting thing.

Zhang Kaiwu always asks questions from different angles and thinks about problems in an original way.

Several old deans were vying to talk to him about academic matters, but in fact they were also learning.

Although Zhang Kaiwu is not a doctor, he has a lot of experience.

For example, I know more about disease prevention and control than they do.

For example, some ways of thinking about problems are also refreshing to them.

After lunch, Mu Chunhua and the others went back.

He continued talking with several deans until they were about to go to work.

………………

Zhang Kaiwu put forward the purpose of today and said with a smile:

"It just so happens that all the deans are here. I have one wife and six concubines at home. There are also several servants who rely on me for food. Life is difficult in this chaotic time!"

Several deans looked at him in surprise, then looked at Old Man Zhu and found that Old Man Zhu was also equally confused!
Zhang Kaiwu said with a smile:
"I have to apply for a scholarship. I have a big family to feed. I just can't make ends meet!"

The deans looked at each other, and Dean Gong asked with a smile:
"Kaiwu! With your level of study, you should have graduated long ago. Why don't you just graduate? How much are the scholarships? Otherwise, you can start working early, and still study."

Zhang Kaiwu said modestly:

"No! I have to study. I went to college just to study. My original intention was to study, and nothing can stop me from studying."

Several deans looked at each other again and exchanged glances.

Dean Zhou said with a smile:
"Why don't you just graduate and we'll give you a place in graduate school."

Zhang Kaiwu asked curiously:

"As a graduate student, do I need to report to school every day?"

Dean Zhou smiled and said:

"No, you're living with Zhiyin, right? This is like living in school. You only need to submit eight study reports every year, and you also need to apply for a research project."

"I see that you have a lot of insights into epidemic prevention. Why don't you compile a report and submit it as your research project?"

Zhang Kaiwu thought for a moment and asked:
"That should mean there should be a research budget and the right to arrange personnel, right?"

"I can't organize and transcribe everything by myself, go out to purchase and collect specimens. I have to ask a few people to help me complete the task together, right?"

"You should at least give me a simple laboratory out of common courtesy, right?"

"In that case, how much will my monthly salary be, and how much will my subsidy be? Will it be enough to support my family?"

Dean Zhu and several other deans looked at each other, and Dean Zhou smiled and said:

"Of course! There are regulations for what you said. We will handle it according to the hospital's regulations. Your stipend is 120 yuan per month, and the standard for graduate student subsidies in our school is 600 yuan per year."

"In the beginning, you can recruit five people. The budget will allocate you 5,000 yuan. This money will be used to pay the salaries of the five people and buy some small items. If you need to buy expensive laboratory equipment, you can apply to the medical school yourself."

"If the equipment is already in the school, you should give priority to declaring it based on what is in the school."

Zhang Kaiwu thought for a moment and asked:
"Scholarship application, can I apply for one year?"

"The research budget for that laboratory is only 5,000 yuan. Isn't that a bit too little?"

Dean Zhou looked at him and smiled, saying:

"Of course you can apply for a one-year scholarship, but you can't run away after receiving the scholarship. The funding in the laboratory is small, but you can continue to apply if you have achieved results. You can't ask for too much right from the beginning!"

"Your salary arrangement for the five employees cannot exceed one hundred yuan a month. After the five thousand yuan is spent, you can apply for funding again."

Dean Wang said with a smile:
"Kaiwu! My granddaughter is also studying epidemic prevention. Let her do some odd jobs for you to fill your days."

Zhang Kaiwu looked at him and said with a smile:

"Dean Wang! I only have five people working for me in my small lab, and Wang Tiantian is here to help. If I ask her to run around to buy things, or to search all over the mountains and plains for materials for the lab, wouldn't that be too much for her?"

Dean Wang was stunned and said, "You are such a bastard!"

Think about old man Zhu’s tactics. Wasn’t he successful?
Dean Wang said with a smile:

"In that case, let's have six people. I'll give your lab six quotas. Tian Tian will be an auditor and be in charge of scheduling for a while, okay?"

Ok!

Zhang Kaiwu smiled and asked:

"Okay then! How much is my salary then?"

Dean Zhou said with a smile:
"You don't have a salary! Don't you have a scholarship and a graduate student grant?"

"You can give yourself a salary in your lab report, but it can't be too outrageous."

"You have to follow the current medical school regulations. You are not a formal doctor, so you cannot prescribe more than 200 yuan."

"Also, if you hire extra help, such as college students, the fee should not exceed three dollars a day."
