From to 1935 2020

Song Meiling looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Eileen paid her respects with a western-style court ceremony, and said respectfully:

"It's a combination of Eastern and Western magical skills. Huang is an overseas Chinese survivor, and I come from a declining ancient family. The meeting between the two of us was arranged by God. Without him, the secret skills passed down in my family would not be revived - Streptomyces Su is the product of the combination of our respective technologies, and it cannot be mass-produced without your help, madam."

Soong Meiling nodded, the other party's respect greatly satisfied her sense of vanity.

She promises:

"Don't worry about this matter. Ziwen has already selected the site of the factory. As for what you need, um, it's Artemisia annua, no, it's Artemisia annua, and there will be corresponding personnel to take care of it. This matter I will watch it personally, and I will never neglect it."

Streptomycin is a lucrative business. No matter how incompetent the Democratic Party is, they also know that the construction of the pharmaceutical factory should be built as soon as possible.In fact, Chang Kaishen has ordered his subordinates to plant Artemisia annua in a large area around Nanjing after the spring of next year according to Huang Ke's request.

Artemisia annua, artemisinin, nothing wrong!It is artemisinin.

Huang Ke told Chang Kaishen that Artemisia annua is one of the important raw materials for making streptomycin!The so-called streptomycin is actually artificially synthesized using Artemisia annua as the basic raw material. (Artemisinin is actually extracted from Artemisia annua)

All of the above are deceiving them!

From the very beginning, Huang Ke had no intention of building a real streptomycin factory for the Cannon Party. What he wanted to build was actually an "artemisinin" refinery.People in later generations know about artemisinin, and Tu Youyou, China's first Nobel Prize winner in medicine, was awarded because of it.Huang Ke's chemical mother has already obtained the relevant laboratory extraction process. As for the specific industrialized mass production methods, he still needs to learn, but the difficulty of industrialized extraction is not very big.

Huang Ke originally didn't expect the factory to produce streptomycin. The goal was to extract Artemisia annua, which is a special drug for treating malaria. The effect is much better than quinine. It is also very good in China in this era. medicines used.For malaria is as common in this day and age as tuberculosis.

The purpose of building a factory is to harvest money from investors in the stock market.As for the product produced after the start of production is "artemisinin" instead of streptomycin, it doesn't matter. At that time, "the prince will change the civet cat", and the streptomycin sent by rhubarb will be replaced by artemisinin when people are not prepared. That's it.

As for the fact that this "scam" can't last long and will be seen through sooner or later, that's not a problem - that's why Huang Ke wants to build the pharmaceutical factory here in Nanjing, which will fall in two years!

Two years later, the war broke out, and a bomb blew up the factory... Even if the Japanese didn't bomb it, Huang Ke would let him "fire the dragon to burn the warehouse" and fly to the sky by himself.

Fascinated by the pancakes drawn by Huang Ke, eager to raise funds and go public to collect money, Song Ziwen, who was "in a hurry", had chosen the site of the pharmaceutical factory early on. After perfect beauty and skin maintenance, he asked someone to drive the car, and excitedly dragged Huang Ke to see the scene of the pharmaceutical factory with his younger brother Ziliang.

The car walked on the road in Nanjing for nearly an hour and came to the outskirts of Nanjing.

Huang Ke and Elena got out of the car and took a look, and found that this was a construction site under construction. Water and electricity facilities were being installed, and not far away, there was a small thermal power plant that was emitting green smoke.And the thing like a silver belt in the distance is the Yangtze River.The related water supply plant has also been built there.

Hundreds of people are working on the construction site, some are digging the foundation for the factory building, and some are laying water supply pipes.

Huang Ke suddenly thought of a place with a history, and asked Song Ziwen, "Is this in Qixia?"

"That's right! The environment here is not bad. The surrounding infrastructure is almost built. With a little renovation, a factory building is built, and the machines are put in. At most one year can produce streptomycin, right?"

When he said this, Song Ziwen's eyes were full of "$" symbols.

Huang Ke asked, "Isn't this the place where an ammonia plant was supposed to be built?"

"Excellent, can you see this too?"

"It has been published in the newspapers, saying that this place was supposed to be the first synthetic amine plant in the Far East (blown)."

That's right, this address is the only synthetic amine factory in China in history, "Yongli Mo Factory"!Historically, in the next year, the Democratic Party government will purchase a circulating compressor from Germany; the nitric acid absorption tower will be built with raw materials imported from the United States, and it will take another year and a half, and it will be put into operation before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. During the Japanese occupation, dozens of tons of amine fertilizers were produced, and then the entire factory was given to the Japanese for free.

The name of Kaishen Logistics was very famous during the Anti-Japanese War.

The rubbish of the Democratic Party is there. When the war is defeated and retreats, what should be destroyed is not destroyed, and it is all for nothing.All the transport capacity before the retreat was only concerned with transporting their own private wealth.In the industrial facilities of the Republic of China, from Tianjin to Nanjing to Hangzhou, the industrial equipment of a few ethnic factories were easily given to the enemy to produce materials, and then turned around to beat themselves.

Hou Debang was the first director of the first fertilizer factory in China; the technology is actually quite advanced.Huang Ke specifically asked to build a factory in Nanjing. In fact, he came here for this factory. He originally planned to ask Nestlé to occupy it and force the pharmaceutical factory to be built here.

It’s just that he hasn’t made this suggestion yet. Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi, who are eager to build a streptomycin factory to make quick money, are greedy for profit. They took a fancy to the site of the synthetic amine factory one step ahead of him, because it had already been established in advance. A large number of basic projects that have been completed can be directly embezzled, saving a lot of time.

Huang Ke said with a smile: "Mr. Hou Debang will be very angry if he knows that you have done this."

Song Ziwen said disdainfully: "How much money can foreign dung make? The profit of one kilogram of streptomycin is worth the foreign dung produced by this factory for ten years!"

Huang Kezuo pretended to sigh and said: "You can't say that. After our factory is built, we can only produce a few hundred kilograms of streptomycin a year at most. If there are too many of this stuff, the price will drop—of course, don't worry." , I will control production to a number that is in our best interest."

Song Ziwen snorted and said, "No matter what, it's better than foreign dung. It's a life-saving medicine! Don't worry, the construction of the pharmaceutical factory is the priority, and everything will be compromised for him!"

Elena asked: "Artemisia annua is an important raw material, and the related plantations must be prepared at the same time. If it is fast, I hope that this factory will be completed and running before next autumn. And Artemisia annua will be just in time It also has a good harvest, and then it can be produced directly on a large scale, and a large number of streptomycin can be produced by the end of the year."

Song Ziliang, Song Ziwen's younger brother who was accompanying him, interjected, "Don't worry, our Song family will send someone to watch over the construction of the factory. We will only finish it ahead of schedule and will never delay it! You can rest assured about this!"

The inefficiency of the government of the Democratic Party is well-known, but in the face of the huge profits of streptomycin and the temptation of the super pie drawn by Huang Ke, from Chang Kaishen to Song Ziliang, these giant maggots of the Republic of China have exploded with unprecedented motivation.

Huang Ke walked to the construction site and looked at the workers at work.In Nanjing in October, the weather has turned cold, and those workers are working shirtless, many of them are panting, their movements are not fast, and their efficiency is not very good.

Huang Ke took two steps forward and saw a pit at his feet that had just been dug out.The pit was about three meters deep and two meters long and wide. He looked at the pit, nodded, and pointed to the tunnel:

"almost."

"What do you mean?"

"Mr. Song, there is almost no work here."

"What job?"

"Need to kill some people!"

Huang Ke said suddenly.

"kill?"

The Song family brothers were all shocked.

"The quality and progress of the project can only be guaranteed if the wages of the workers are paid in place on time. If someone deducts wages harshly, the workers will secretly be lazy, slack off, and even cause some small damage..."

Song Ziwen said: "Don't worry about this, I will put people in prison, and kill whoever destroys it."

"That's not what I meant, Mr. Song."

Huang Ke said with a smile: "There should be many ex-communist traitors with good consciences in the central government. Help us ask Mr. Chen for someone to come here, so that these former communist traitors can supervise the workers here according to the rules of the Communist Party." Have the wages been paid in place, have they been deducted harshly? When this person comes to take office, first ask him to kill——drag out the contractor who sucked the blood of these workers' wages..."

Huang Ke pointed to the pit: "It's right there, kill them all! The more you kill, the better - as long as it's enough to fill this pit! The streptomycin invented by Elena and I is Compete with the heavens! Go against the heavens! If you fight for your life, you must sacrifice to the heavens! If you don’t sacrifice yourself first, you will be jealous of the heavens. If the blood sacrifices are not enough, the construction of this factory will be very difficult. of."

When Huang Ke said this, Song Ziwen was shocked again, but felt that it was true.

Although he has received a lot of Western-style education, he is also from a traditional Chinese family after all, and he still believes in things like human sacrifices.During this period of time spent with Huang Ke, after seeing his and Elena's miraculous ability to beautify and beautify people's skin, their talk about strange powers and chaos has deepened a lot.

"The pharmaceutical factory is an important part of our money-making machine. I don't allow waste and maggots to corrode our machine here! Mr. Song, what do you think?"

Song Ziwen was taken aback, then nodded.Huang Ke's "coldness", he has experienced it once before.During the period of the Republic of China, there were a group of black foremen sucking their blood on top of the workers. Song Ziwen also knew it. Since Huang Ke, a rich man, wants to kill people to sacrifice flags here, let’s kill them. Anyway, there is as much garbage as there is.

"Do you have to kill these black foremen?"

"Well, we have already made too much money. We have to kill some wicked people to sacrifice to heaven, and do some good deeds to accumulate virtue, so that we can get a balance of good rewards, otherwise we will not be able to sleep well at night. If there are not enough people here in Nanjing, Just go to Shanghai to grab some..."

Huang Ke pointed at the small pit in front of him: "Anyway, it must be just enough to fill this pit!"

Elena agrees.

After the two of them walked around the site pretendingly for a while, Huang Ke said along the way: "The progress and quality of the project are related to the increase in wealth of you and me. We can't let the waste below be squeezed out of thousands of workers from hundreds of workers." Dayang’s wages and meals are ruined and we earn tens of millions of dollars. You understand the virtues of these bastards. You need to ask some trustworthy people to supervise the payment of wages. It’s a good thing for us—forget it, about the wages, let me find someone to supervise the distribution!”

"In addition, when the construction site starts, I will send a special person to manage the food supply of the workers, and there will be breaks. The means of exploitation here are too low-level and inefficient. It is procrastination, not hard work. Don't look at it. The workers work from morning to night, but the efficiency is actually very poor, and there are a lot of people who are doing foreign work. The whole project is dragged on slowly and long—Mr. Song, you now know why I want to kill a group of black foremen here first Bar?"

Song Ziliang suddenly realized: "Did they prolong the construction time on purpose?"

In fact, both of them have studied in the United States, and they have heard about the Monroe system, the Ford system, and what is called "the most efficient means of exploitation".

"That's right, there is collusion between the top and bottom! If you work an extra day, he will get an extra penny. We are working hard outside to make a lot of money, and these little maggots at the bottom are also trying to suck blood. They not only suck the workers below, They are also sucking our blood, if we don’t kill them, we will be sorry for ourselves!”

Song Ziwen and Song Ziliang also showed murderous looks in their eyes at this time, and said at the same time: "Understood! A house slave has to behave like a house slave, and we know what to do."

As a national-level mechanic, Huang Ke is a person who has seen many big scenes.In many newly built factories, Huang Ke is usually invited to debug the equipment before starting construction.So he is not completely ignorant of the factory conditions before the equipment installation.He took Elena around the construction site, asked about the progress of the "three connections and one leveling", and then grabbed several workers and repeatedly asked about their food supply.

"Hungry workers can't do a good job."

When leaving, Huang Ke made another request: to increase the workers' food.In the future, he will send people to the construction site to directly distribute additional snacks and meals to the workers at work.

Afterwards, Huang Ke said to Pan Hannian who followed him to the scene.

"The location of Nanjing is very important. I have several big plans, all of which will start in Nanjing. The specific time is about one and a half years later. This time is enough for you to lay nails here."

Huang Ke has done so much here, of course not for the simple purpose of killing a few black foremen, everything is in preparation for the tragedy that will happen in Nanjing two years later.

-------------------- Chapter 91 Digging Chang Kaishen's Corner --------------------

"Raise the gun!"

"aim!"

"shooting!"

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

After a burst of gunfire, dozens of people who were tied up fell to the ground.Then the corpse was dragged to several corners with "excellent Fengshui" around the construction site, where a well-known "Mr. Fengshui" from Shanghai was specially invited and buried.

Around, nearly a thousand workers watched this scene in the form of onlookers.In everyone's eyes, various emotions such as numbness, fear, and excitement are mixed.

Then Huang Ke walked to a high place on the scene with a loudspeaker, pointed at the corpse being dragged away and said:

"This is the fate of the black foreman who drinks the blood of the workers and scrapes the oil of the workers. The people from Nanjing and Shanghai are all here now. In the future, who will dare to deduct the workers' wages and suck the workers' money on this construction site?" Blood, I will be very happy, because there is another head to borrow. This is the pharmaceutical factory that produces the magic medicine. Sacrifice! Next time whoever has unclean hands and feet, they will end up!"

I don't know who took the lead, and there was applause among the workers.

"Here, I announce two things."

"From today, the wages of all workers will increase by 15%! Wages will be settled once a week! Every day at work, a [-]-minute break will be added in the middle of the morning and afternoon, and two free snacks will be provided at the same time!"

Huang Ke said while pulling out a person from behind, it was a young man wearing glasses and looked polite, then pointed at him and said:

"This is what I asked for from Mr. Chen. The person in charge of supervising the payment of wages. His surname is Li and his name is Tianyun. He will come over to supervise every week when the wages are settled. Who dares to deduct money or take money out of it, you guys Report to him, and he will kill people here to sacrifice to heaven!"

There was another round of cheers.

This person named Li Tianyun was exactly the person Huang Ke wanted from CC Chen Guofu, and he was a traitor from the underground party who had just defected three months ago.

"As a big boss, to all my fellow workers, I have overpaid what should be paid, and I have also given food subsidies. The so-called come and go, I have done my best, and you have to work hard for me. Give me more Twenty percent wages are not so easy to get. I paid you more, and you have to work hard. I will send someone to recalculate the daily project volume. If it is completed, it will be [-] percent. If it cannot be completed, a hundred percent will be deducted. In ten..."

After the announcement of the new policy, the on-site workers did not disperse, but went to a corner of the construction site to receive their "new benefits": a large bowl, and breakfast of two steamed buns with mixed noodles and cabbage broth per person.

Most of the workers working on this construction site are locals, and they are even stronger.In the coming year, Huang Ke will militarize them.After the factory is completed, a "factory protection team" will be established immediately, and members will be recruited directly from these workers.From now to December 1937, there will be two years, enough time for him to play tricks among this group of people and plant a secret.

Huang Ke put down the horn and walked to the back shed, where Chen Guofu was waiting for him with an embarrassed expression on his face.And Dai Yunong was also standing on the side, but his face was slightly smug.

Huang Ke was dissatisfied with Chen Guofu and said:

"These days, it's really hard to find reliable subordinates. Your people can't even catch a few black foremen to kill Jitian. If your subordinates are all such fools, how can you fight the Communist Party!"

The matter is very simple: a few days ago, through Song Ziwen, Huang Ke asked Zhongtong to "borrow someone" to kill people. As a result, these bastards went outside and arrested a few ordinary workers just to make up for it.Fortunately, Pan Hannian knew the virtues of this group of people long ago, and reminded Huang Ke in advance, and Elena asked and tried at the end, relying on her lie detection ability, she found out that this group of people was killing people to make up for it.

Huang Ke was not polite, and directly sued Chang Kaishen. Chang Kaishen was also furious, and called the two Chen brothers to curse him, and then ordered Dai Li, who was on the scene at the time, to finish the matter.Dai Li had long been displeased with Er Chen, so he did a good job while gloating at his misfortune—he arrested twice as many black foremen from Shanghai, and then killed all of them here.

"It's hard to get back, it's hard to get back."

Chen Guofu smiled awkwardly, he was also cheated by the gang of grandsons under his command.On the side of the Central Unification Secret Service, in fact, the ability of the middle level is still very good, but the problem is that the "little ghosts" who do the specific work below are very scumbags.In contrast, Dai Li’s Blue Clothes Club, which has just been established, is much better (relatively) because they are all newcomers, even “hot-blooded young people” who have just graduated from school.

Dai Li stood up, pretending to smooth things over and said, "Brother Yuan Xing, don't be angry, Brother Guofu is actually very angry, isn't it because he was cheated by the trash below..."

Huang Ke nodded and agreed: "I understand, I understand! These days, there are too many scammers, and it is not easy to start a business. I also know Mr. Chen's suffering, and I have encountered it. Those of us who run stores and factories , don't look majestic on the outside, in fact, you know the hardships - the most troublesome thing is that the subordinates are all a bunch of idiots, we rack our brains and work hard outside, the following group of people are scumbags, foreign workers, fooling Yes, there are all kinds of food. There are too few people who can be trusted and let them work for us without worry! People on the side of the Communist bandit called us shameless exploiting class and capitalists, but Who knows the hardships of us capitalists... cheating, cheating, cheating, we dragged a bunch of cheaters outside to fight with people, um, is it easy?"
