Chapter 91 Preparing for Drug Experiment Promotion

The Japanese business was monopolized by the Zheng family. If they wanted to transport a large amount of grain, they had to transport it from Gu Sange and Luzon. The cost was no lower than directly bringing in some gold and silver and buying it at a high price.

"By the way, Director Chen, are your drugs really as effective as advertised?"

"Amoxicillin and penicillin are absolutely gods on the battlefield. They can reduce inflammation and treat knife wounds, gunshot wounds, pneumonia, and tuberculosis.

There are also some diseases of women, but penicillin requires a syringe and the effect is absolutely satisfactory.

The remaining ibuprofen can relieve pain, as well as other symptomatic liver disease drugs, heart disease drugs, Jiuxin pills, etc. Those will be supplied later, but now we mainly supply penicillin and penicillin syringes, as well as amoxicillin anti-inflammatory drugs."

None of the medicines displayed by Chen Ye in the store were for sale, so many people were skeptical about their effects, especially because they were very expensive.

Medicines are not like food, clothing, and medicine. You have to be sick to experience them. Only women will order them just because of the description. They are a dead horse and a living horse.

Symptoms such as tuberculosis and inflammation, Chen Ye's business name has also been translated to correspond to the Ming Dynasty. In short, they are carbuncle, pain, disease and so on.

On the contrary, Banduma and Abel, because of the European environment, already knew the concepts of microorganisms and inflammation.

"I didn't expect that you have such a deep understanding of diseases. Many disease names have not been defined in Europe. Maybe we need to ask you for some medical knowledge.

But the price of penicillin is still too expensive, one thousand yuan a piece, which costs five taels of silver, and five taels of silver is enough to buy a good ginseng."

"Expensive? Because medicines are controlled materials, they are purchased at military coupon prices within the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the price for exports is not the same.

If it is exported, it is two ounces of gold for one person, and one syringe is one ounce.

Oh, the Ming Dynasty will also promulgate new customs regulations, and smuggling of controlled items will be punished by gunfire. They will stuff you into a cannon and shoot you into the first sea."

"What? The price is too expensive. The dosage per person is two ounces. The syringe is also very expensive, although it can be reused."

Banduma almost jumped up. Five taels of silver a piece was too expensive for him, let alone two ounces a piece.

When Chen Ye heard him say that syringes could be reused, his expression twisted.

Amen, I hope the Europeans can overcome the syringe manufacturing bottleneck as soon as possible and reduce cross-infection.

"It's useless to say more. The price cannot be negotiated. Drugs must be controlled. This is my Ming Dynasty's rule. Whether the efficacy is good or not, human life is definitely worth more than gold.

I can provide you with a dosage for five people. You can use it to verify its efficacy on wound inflammation, colds and fevers, various infections, and tuberculosis.

There are so many patients in the city who cannot afford to see a doctor, you will know if you try it."

"Well, I'm afraid this price is still difficult for us to accept. Maybe we won't buy a lot. This can only be seen in the European market.

We will try it as soon as possible. Thank you again for your generous concession. People in Ming Dynasty have a good saying, make money together, you really did it."

Chen Ye nodded, today's negotiation was over, and someone was needed to test the effectiveness of penicillin.

Not only penicillin, Chen Ye also needs to conduct experiments on other drugs, especially some drugs aimed at the three highs of wealthy people. If you want to? Use military coupons to buy them.

How did military coupons come about? Of course, in exchange for grain! Once prices are fixed and military coupons are truly circulated, we can gradually replace silver with military coupons and abolish the silver standard.

After seeing off the two foreigners, Chen Ye contacted Chongzhen.

"Chen Ye: Lao Zhu, I have restricted penicillin. To buy it tomorrow, you need to have a medical condition or a letter from a designated doctor to buy it at the military coupon price.

For purchases outside the Ming Dynasty, you can only use the gold price, and the price is much higher.』

"Chongzhen: Wonderful, I'm still thinking, if such a life-saving medicine is sold on a large scale by the Zheng family, wouldn't it mean that there is less something to manipulate them? Or the shop owner is more thoughtful than me."

Chongzhen was already a mature flatterer, and he could always hit on the right points when giving compliments.

After Chen Ye finished lunch, he took stock of the supplies he needed to buy in the store's lounge.

Cereals, oils, seasonings, and canned food are all sold by the ton, and clothes and pants are also easy to buy.

"It's just that medicines are more troublesome."

While scribbling on his notebook, Chen Ye said that his company did not have a drug business license yet, and this aspect was relatively strict in China.

"It seems we can only do it in the United States."

The control of drugs in the United States has reached the point of proliferation. In a free country, everything is good if you have money.

"Shopkeeper, Zheng Zhibao would like to see you."

"Please come in."

Quickly putting away his notebook, Chen Ye looked at Zheng Zhibao who was brought into the lounge by Jin Yiwei.

"General Zheng's arrival is too far away to welcome him."

"It's time for me to apologize to the shop owner. When I returned to the inn yesterday, I sent a message to my elder brother, who has already confirmed the first batch of ordered supplies.

Originally, I would just tell the people at the shop about this and let them make the decision directly, but since the business is relatively large after all, I still have to confirm it with the shop owner in person."

After Zheng Zhibao thanked Chen Ye, he sat in the guest seat and said to Chen Ye.

"It should, it should, so what kind of goods is General Zheng going to ask for?"

"Our first batch of 150,000 stone grain ships have been prepared. They were originally intended to transport silk to Japan. This time we will go to Tianjin to unload grain first.

150,000 shi can be exchanged for 30 million military coupons, of which 10 million can buy 500 bicycles and 250 tricycles.

We bought a total of 5 million for clothes, pants and shoes, 5 million for condiments and food, 5 million for women’s products, and the last 5 million were all for penicillin.”

"Well, General Zheng, the military coupon price of penicillin is for the Ming Dynasty's own people, and you must have the corresponding disease before you can buy it. If you purchase it in bulk, it will not be this price."

Chen Ye suddenly interrupted Zheng Zhibao. It was also his fault that he had not thought of it before. Exports must be restricted. It was only when Banduma and the others came today that they suddenly remembered it.

"What does the shopkeeper mean?"

Zheng Zhibao looked puzzled. The price of the military coupons was several times different from the actual price.

"If the Zheng family needs it, I can sell penicillin at the price of a thousand military coupons to the Zheng family every year, but if the Zheng family wants these supplies from sea trade.

The Dutch paid two ounces of gold for one piece, the Zheng family paid four ounces of gold for three pieces, and the syringes cost one ounce of gold for two pieces."

"Shopkeeper, this price...is there still room for negotiation?"

Zheng Zhibao looked embarrassed. The price had already skyrocketed before he could see the effect of the medicine. However, if the effect was really that miraculous, the price would not be unacceptable to them.

What's more, there is a cheap quota of 1,000 tubes every year. Using this thing to win over the power of the Zheng family is simply a life-saving medicine.

“It’s also my fault that I didn’t plan in advance to promote the effectiveness of the medicine.

Well, General Zheng will stay here for a while to meet the fleet of General Zheng. During this period, I ask General Zheng to do a favor and verify the properties of the medicine. When you are sure that what you said is true, it will not be too late to buy it.

"

"Oh, this is a great feeling! Please tell the shop owner what to do to me, Zheng Zhibao."

Chen Ye acted so reliable that Zheng Zhibao immediately agreed readily.

"If there are people in the city who have truncal disease, sores, inflamed wounds, or fevers, you can ask a clinic to treat them on their behalf.

According to their symptoms, I will inject penicillin and give them amoxicillin in all dosages. I will pay one thousand taels, plus the amount for one hundred people, for your treatment.

A person can usually be cured with two doses, but some may need more. Then you can find more people to promote it and try to make the whole city aware of the efficacy of these two medicines.

By the way, penicillin can cause allergic reactions, so you must do a skin test. The allergy rate is 1 in 10,000, and the allergic mortality rate is 1 in 100,000."

The dosages of penicillin and amoxicillin must not be realistic dosages. Chen Ye found someone to simply dilute them, and each dose was only 200,000 units.

As for allergic reactions, they are inevitable, so Chen Ye emphasized it.

"Isn't the shop owner too polite? You asked Zheng to help because you thought highly of Zheng. How could you still pay for it? Besides, you also gave me the medicine. Naturally, Zheng gave me the money.

There is also this breath test. Zheng thinks it is completely unnecessary. After the skin test, it is not enough to give him medicine. It is a waste. It is talking about a mortality rate of one in 100,000. If he is hit, he deserves to die."

Zheng Zhibao waved his hand nonchalantly. It was nothing. There were many people in Ming Dynasty, so it would be good to take medicine if he had the opportunity. The mortality rate was one in 100,000, so he was unlucky to encounter it.

"You still need to test the medicine in the early stage. What you do if you are not in the capital is your business."

"Okay, okay, just listen to the shop owner.

Then I will buy a thousand penicillins for the last five million, and then use the remaining four million to buy the shopkeeper's hand-cranked lamps and the like."

Zheng Zhibao shrugged and agreed. Anyway, the medicine was not his, so it didn't matter how he was treated.

"Okay, I'll ask the people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to cooperate with you, and you can come up with corresponding plans and publicity methods.

In short, there is only one request: let the whole capital and all walks of life know what patients we have cured, whether the medicine has cured the disease, and whether the medicine is worth the price!

If I am satisfied with the process, the price of the medicine purchased by the Zheng family can be slightly reduced by as much as 10%."

"Don't worry, owner, I promise to do a nice job for you."

When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he perked up. Let alone one thousand taels now, even if he sold a boat, he still had to do it cleanly!

Chen Ye used the walkie-talkie to call Li Ruolian over again, and Zheng Zhibao looked knowledgeable again.

"Shopkeeper, what is this? Zheng thought that the radio station was no longer available in the world, but he didn't expect that there is still something that can communicate through the air."

"Don't ask, it's not for sale!"

"Okay, shopkeeper, don't worry, I will definitely handle the matter beautifully."

When Zheng Zhibao heard this, he replied disappointedly. It was normal to think about it. Walkie-talkies are also weapons of the military and the state. How could Chongzhen and the others sell them casually?

"By the way, General Zheng, your Zheng family often travels along the coast. Do you know the route that Mr. Zheng He, the Sanbao eunuch, used to sail to the West?"

"Superintendent Zheng? You must know that. Superintendent Zheng is very famous in the horse racing circle in Luzon.

When it comes to Big Brother, some people may not know about it, but overseas, when it comes to Sanbao Superintendent, no one knows about it."

Zheng Zhibao also showed admiration when he mentioned Zheng He. He was a pioneer in the Ming Dynasty, and his footprints were farther than the current Zheng family.
