As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

In its heyday, it reached 40% of the annual tariff of the Qing court.

Especially the Wu family, with assets of about 1834 taels of silver in 2600, was called "the richest man in the world" by foreigners at that time.

Chapter 32 Experimenting with Penicillin

100 years later, the "Asian Wall Street Journal" also named Wu's businessman as one of the 50 richest people in the world in the millennium.

Relying on the Qing court, the Thirteen Banks became rich in the world, so the imperial court ordered the Thirteen Banks to raise huge sums of money for war reparations after several defeats.

The decline of the thirteen lines is extremely dramatic.

According to records, the Jinshan Zhuhai in the Shisanhang Commercial Hall is full of silver coins.

Most of the buildings in the thirteen rows are brick and wood structures, generally two or three storey buildings.

A house like this is easy to be burned. "Yujiu Box Notes" recorded a big fire, which said: "Thirteen rows of Guangdong Province were burned for seven days and nights, foreign silver melted into the ditch, and it grew to one or two miles, and the fire went out." Formed into one, unbreakable", although it is a bit exaggerated, it also reflects that the wealth accumulated by the thirteen lines is amazing.

This fire alone destroyed 4000 million taels of silver property in the business hall.

After the fire, coupled with various other reasons, Guangzhou Shisanhang gradually declined.

The history of Desheng Commercial Bank is not much shorter than Thirteen Banks, but it has always been the second largest commercial bank in Guangzhou after Thirteen Banks. Different Thirteen Banks have a high profile, Desheng Commercial Bank is very low-key, and most people who are low-key think Desheng Commercial Bank It is an ordinary chamber of commerce.

The ancestral motto of the Cai family of Desheng Commercial Bank is low-key, and it is precisely because of the low-key that Desheng Commercial Bank has avoided countless times of killing pigs by the Qing court. Until now, the Thirteen Banks have disappeared, and Desheng Commercial Bank is still doing well. exist.

After Cai Chun took the penicillin and the instructions back, he reported the matter to the president and patriarch of Desheng Commercial Bank. After hearing this, Cai Si looked at Cai Chun with the eyes of a fool, almost thinking that Cai Chun had fallen into a magic spell.

He did not believe that there was such a panacea in the world, which could treat so many incurable diseases.

Cai Chun's words made Cai Si silent: "Anyway, it is an incurable disease, and death is death. Why not try it? If it is true, how big is the benefit?"

Zeiss was moved immediately, and his sensitivity told him that if it was really a panacea, this powder would be more valuable than gold of the same weight.

The benefits will exceed any business of Desheng Commercial Bank.

Although Desheng Commercial Bank does not have its own hospital, it has its own western medicine clinic and doctors, complete with all equipment and western medicine.

Within a day, Desheng Firm found patients suffering from scarlet disease, suppurative pharyngitis, diphtheria, syphilis, gonorrhea, sepsis, etc., and bought their lives simply and rudely with money.

Most of these people are ordinary people, suffering from the incurable diseases of this era, almost waiting to die. Now that someone buys their lives with money, they can leave a large sum of money to their families before they die. Why not do it? ?

What's more, Desheng Commercial Bank also promised that the purpose of giving money is not to kill them, but to help them cure their diseases, but accidents may happen.

Think in the best direction, get a lot of money, and cure the disease.

Dr. Anthony looked at the powdered crystals on the table, and his eyes were full of disbelief: "Dear Cai Chun, there is no medicine that can treat these diseases in the world. I'm sure you have been deceived."

Cai Chun said indifferently: "Anthony, you will only know if you can take a test."

Anthony was in a bit of a dilemma. He had professional ethics and a bottom line, and he was unwilling to use patients to test drugs, but thinking about it, the entire clinic belonged to the Cai family, and he also relied on the Cai family for food, so he really didn't want to offend the Cai family.

He is a well-known doctor in Germany. Because of a medical accident, he offended the rich and powerful and had to leave his hometown. The Cai family saw that he was good at medicine, so they opened this Western medicine clinic with him as the main one. Now it is quite popular in Guangzhou. Fame, won the trust of many dignitaries.

"Okay, dear Cai Chun, I can try this medicine for you, but you gave it to me. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible."

Anthony thought for a long time before agreeing. He picked up the penicillin, looked at the instructions, and sighed in his heart. Based on his experience, this kind of three-no product has a high chance of problems.

After reading the manual in detail, Anthony called in a patient suffering from scarlet fever, about fifteen or sixteen years old.

In this disease, the throat is swollen and rotten, the high fever persists, and the skin of the whole body breaks out. It is as red as orangutan blood, so it is also called scarlet fever.

Historical records:

"Laryngitis is prevalent, and killing people is useless. Where there is an epidemic, dead bodies are everywhere."

The onset of the disease is ferocious, and the fatality rate is extremely high.If there is no effective medicine, it will take two or three days at least, and five or six days at most, and the person will die.

In this era, this disease is still terminally ill. Once infected, no one dares to treat it, no one wants to treat it, and no one can cure it.

After the discovery of penicillin, it was regarded as a specific drug for the treatment of scarlet fever.

This patient had just contracted scarlet fever not long ago, and under normal circumstances, it would be a dead body in a few days.

Anthony sighed softly, took out the penicillin, followed the instructions, opened the bottle and injected distilled water, shook it gently a few times, and the powder was completely dissolved.

"Maybe this boy will turn into a corpse after I inject the medicine."

Staring at the Sanwu medicine in his hand, Anthony felt bitter. He really didn't want to inject the patient with this kind of medicine, but since he agreed, if he went back on his word, he would offend the Cai family to death.

"Young man, I hope you have God's blessing."

Anthony prayed silently and injected penicillin into it.

"Anthony, how are you?"

As soon as Anthony went out, Cai Chun couldn't help pulling his arm and asking.

Anthony shrugged his shoulders: "According to the instructions, it will take about an hour to see the effect."

For an hour, Cai Chun lived like a year, watching Anthony walk in, fidgeting, like a prisoner waiting to be sentenced.

Not long after, Anthony appeared in front of him, and he kept muttering: "God! It's incredible! This is simply a miracle!"

Cai Chun was overjoyed, it seemed to be effective, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask: "Anthony, what's the result?"

"Dear Cai Chun! Where did this medicine come from? Among other things, the scarlet fever patient can be saved!"

As soon as Anthony grabbed Cai Chun's hand, he was very excited.

It turned out that after the injection of penicillin, the boy fell asleep. You must know that sleep and unconsciousness are completely different things. The boy's condition has obviously stabilized.

After taking the temperature, it changed from a high fever to a low fever. Depending on the situation, his body temperature will be normal after a while.

As a skilled doctor, Anthony knew what it meant.

A drug that can treat the incurable disease of scarlet fever was born! .

Chapter 33 Take off the mask to be yourself!

In the next hour, Anthony checked the boy several times, and finally confirmed the fact that the boy's body temperature returned to normal, and other symptoms of scarlet fever are also subsiding. As long as he can continue to take penicillin, according to this recovery speed, the shortest is three to five days, and the long-term In seven or eight days, his scarlet fever can be completely cured.

As the facts were confirmed, Anthony became more and more excited and apologized to Cai Chun: "Mr. Cai Chun, I have to apologize to you. I suspected a gentleman. This was my mistake. After several checks, I can confirm that, This miraculous medicine is at least the most effective medicine for treating scarlet fever! In just one hour, his symptoms have improved significantly, and the effect is really unbelievable."

He rubbed his hands and pointed at the boy in the medical room: "The most amazing thing is that he didn't have any adverse reactions."

Cai Chun's heart was pounding, as if he saw a gate leading to Jinshan opening to him, and there were pieces of gold inside, just waiting for him to pick it up.

You must know that scarlet fever is a common disease no matter which country it is in, and it cannot be cured.

"There are other patients, all of whom have tried this drug."

Cai Chun urged Dr. Anthony to continue the experiment.

Five days later, except for one patient who was unable to use penicillin after a skin test, all the other dozen patients had improved significantly to varying degrees because of the use of penicillin, completely confirming the efficacy of penicillin.

There are also two injured patients in the middle, one with a knife wound and one with a gunshot wound. Neither of them was infected after being given penicillin.

For several days, Cai Chun was so excited that he couldn't sleep. Every time Anthony told him the effect of penicillin on a disease, he felt that the golden mountain behind the door became bigger.

In the end, the golden mountain changed from an ordinary golden mountain to a huge golden mountain as large as the Everest hornet.

There was also a dispute within Desheng Commercial Bank. After confirming the miraculous effect of penicillin, any normal person would know how much benefit is hidden behind this medicine.

One faction believes that the benefits of penicillin are so amazing that they must obtain the right to sell this drug.

One faction also thinks that the benefits of penicillin are astonishingly great, and that Desheng Trading Co., Ltd. cannot afford it. Once they participate in it, the world will definitely pay attention to them. They should not participate in it. They should continue to follow the Cai family's low-key ancestral precepts and make money in a safe and secure manner.

There is also the smallest faction, which also believes that the benefits of penicillin are astonishingly great, and they must fully grasp this drug in their hands.

In the end, the faction headed by Zeiss and assisted by Cai Chun and others gained the upper hand and got the right to sell penicillin!

…………

After returning to Qingshan Town, Gu Zhou remembered the blind date his mother had prepared for him, so he had to explain a few things before returning to modern times.

To be honest, he was a little bit resistant to the blind date, but this time the blind date was introduced by an aunt from a mother a long time ago, so he couldn't refuse.

Since last year, his mother has been nagging about giving him a blind date so that he can hug his grandson quickly. If he misses the appointment, he will shudder at the thought of Gu's mother's non-stop talking mouth, which is no less than a thousand cuts.

"Brother, what are you taking? It's so long?"

After getting into the taxi, the driver looked curiously at the wooden box that Gu Zhou was holding. The five-foot-long wooden box was almost on top of the doors on both sides.

"A knife, for decoration."

Gu Zhou replied with a smile.

"Knife? Is it a Tang knife or a saber, or a plain knife, or a Miao knife? I heard that this kind of knife is not cheap. How much did you pay for this knife?"

The driver immediately perked up.

"Not much money, 1000 yuan."

"That's not cheap, brother, you are really willing."

The driver tutted.

Gu Zhou touched the wooden box, and there were more than a dozen gaps in the five-foot-long seedling knife inside.

Although this knife is extremely sharp, it is not a magic weapon after all. After many collisions, the most important thing is the collision with the iron rod of the head of Mao Zhai's guard yard. Many small holes were broken and need to be repaired.

The several fights last night flowed through my mind, and my heart felt relaxed and happy.

It was the first time in his life that he experienced such a fierce fight.

Although he knows how to make a gun and how to make a bomb, he is really a law-abiding citizen who has never hurt anyone. He fights fiercely with paper figurines and people possessed by paper figurines without any fear. No fuss.

The most important thing is not to be afraid afterwards, but feel that this feeling is exciting and yearning.

In that situation, it seems that all distracting thoughts can be put aside, and there is only one thought, to use my knife to determine the life and death of the enemy!

This feeling of dancing on the tip of the knife made him intoxicated.

"Maybe I'm a madman. In the Republic of China, it looks like I put on a mask, but in fact I took off the mask and returned to my true self."

…………

After paying 3000 yuan for repairs and agreeing to pick up the knife in three days, Gu Zhou took a taxi to the Motor City.

For a car enthusiast, it will not be tiring to spend days and nights in this car city.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other supercars all have exhibition stores in the Auto City.

Gu Zhou ordered an executive extended version of the Panamera at the Porsche 4 son shop half a month ago.

Originally, it was impossible to get the car in such a short period of time. It happened that someone who had ordered the Palamela for several months had business problems, so Gu Zhou took over the Palamela.

One of his dreams was to buy a Panamera.

My father is only a detachment leader of the city bureau. Although he is a high-ranking deputy and his mother is a housewife, such a family is not enough compared to the top but has more than the bottom. It is impossible to afford a Palamela.

After graduating, he entered a state-owned enterprise with an annual salary of 12 yuan. With his salary, he can afford a car without eating or drinking for ten years.

A month ago, after learning from the pain, I didn't want to dawdle anymore, and resolutely resigned without telling my parents, and wanted to make a breakthrough by myself, otherwise the dream of buying a Panamera would be farther and farther away.

When Gu's mother found out that he had resigned, she bombarded him with phone calls, preventing him from going home for a month.

When he mentions Paramela, he must go home, because riches and honor do not return to their hometowns, like traveling at night in brocade clothes.

"Hello, sir. I'm Xu Jia, a salesperson from the Porsche showroom. I'm very happy to serve you. What's your name, sir?"

Just as Gu Zhou walked in, a tall salesman in professional attire with legs wrapped in black silk greeted him.

Chapter 34 Buying a Panamera

"Hi, I've already ordered a car, and I'll pick it up today." Gu Zhou smiled lightly.

"Ah...then...then come in and sit down first."

Xu Jia looked at the whole body comfortably, and there was a voice in her heart howling: so handsome!So handsome!What a beautiful smile!I have never seen such a handsome man in my life, if only my boyfriend!

Gu Zhou kept smiling. From childhood to adulthood, most women saw him with this expression, and he has long been used to it.

After a few seconds, Xu Jia suddenly came to his senses, stepped aside and led Gu Zhou in.

After Gu Zhou sat down, Xu Jia asked softly: "Who is your salesperson, I will help you..."

"Xu Jia, go get busy, this is my client."

Before the words were finished, a voice came from behind her. Yu Guiwan looked at Xu Jia vigilantly, not because he was afraid that the client would be robbed, because Gu Zhou ordered the car from her, and he only waited for the final payment to pick up the car up.

It's because I'm afraid that Gu Zhou will be robbed by Xu Jia, a green tea whore. I have been greedy for this man for a long time, handsome and rich. There are too few men like this. It's a pity that these days I send WeChat every day, but the number of replies is very small. .
