Chapter 243 "Drug" Processing Plant
High-footed glass, beautiful blonde Western maids, and some dark-skinned Filipino maids shuttle through the crowd with all kinds of delicious food and wine. Europeans from Western European countries are excited and enthusiastically discussing Liang Pengfei's speech just now.
"My God, how rich is that guy? Think about it, we only need to stay here for five years, no, even three years, the wealth we get is enough to make us a rich man with no worries about food and clothing. A middle-aged man with fiery red hair spoke loudly in an exaggerated French tone.
His speech was recognized by many people, and not far away, another man with scholarly temperament, wearing eyes and wig, looked at the talkative red-haired man with a contemptuous look. Is there nothing in the eyes of us civilized people except interests?
"Then why did you come to the East? Dear Mr. Kean, you are a chemist. Does the East have your research project? Or can you find a new scientific discipline on this island? A rich doctor couldn't help laughing.
However, the doctor's smile soon became smaller, and in the end, he had to stop, because Professor Keane looked at him coldly, and his unkind eyes made his self-righteous humor impossible to continue.
"Dr. Bruno, your joke is not funny at all. You know, I am a scientist and a rigorous scholar. Since I started this profession, I will devote my life to the exploration and discovery of science." Keane pushed his eyes and glanced at the hall that seemed to be a little quiet. Most people's attention was attracted by their conversation here. Do you know how many elements exist in the world?
Although Keane, a scientist with the title of jazz aristocracy, has been on Crab King Island for less than a year, his rigorous scientific attitude is highly respected by these Westerners. At least, no one wants to offend a scientist trusted by Liang Pengfei.
And his question also has no answer, because on this question, there is really no one who has more say than him. However, he did not mean to sell the problem and answered himself: "There are 26 elements, and nearly ten of them have been discovered in this century. But how many elements are there in the world? Maybe no one knows, but someone told me one thing that explained my long-term confusion..."
--------------------
"I didn't expect Mr. Keane to admire you so much. It seems that your understanding of science is no less than that of an excellent scientist." In a room not far away, a silver-haired man who heard the conversation in the hall raised his glass to Liang Pengfei to show his respect.
"It's nothing. I just told him the most basic atomic theory and a very ordinary small table." Liang Pengfei also picked up the glass in his hand with a smile and took a small sip of the delicious Bordeaux wine.
"Atomic theory? Ha ha, I'm really sorry, my distinguished General, I really don't have that kind of mind and no interest in the study of elements. I'm concerned about medicine and medicine, including wealth, which is why I came to the East. The silver-haired man laughed. Money and wealth are the driving force of my work.
"Well said, any achievement should have a corresponding reward as a means, or honor, or wealth. In short, I won't do anything without any reward. We have something in common, dear Mr. Depan." Liang Pengfei burst into laughter. He took out a cigar box on the table and handed it to the frank and lovely Depan in front of him.
Depan, born in Switzerland, then went to the United Kingdom and engaged in chemical research in the United Kingdom. Later, he entered a pharmaceutical factory to work. Because of a mistake, or due to Depan's greed, he used his authority to use unqualified raw materials, resulting in a human life lawsuit. Depan, the culprit, is very It will be found out soon.
However, Depan saw the opportunity quickly. When he found that the matter was exposed, he escaped from England and wandered to the East. He used his identity as a doctor to live freely in the Spanish colonies. However, his desire for money made him accept Liang Pengfei's invitation on Crab King Island. Together with several assistants arranged by Liang Pengfei, he carried out drug research and refining work.
Although this guy is greedy, he has to admit that he does have two hands in medicine and chemistry. It took him less than three months to extract morphine from opium according to some ideas provided by Liang Pengfei. Of course, the name morphine was named by Liang Pengfei.
It was with this thing that Liang Pengfei came up with the idea of supplying "special cigarettes" to the Annan royal family. Before counting, Liang Peng in Guangzhou received news from Crab King Island. After refining morphine and getting the rich reward paid by Liang Pengfei, he seemed to have stimulated his enthusiasm for research. Finally, before counting, he successfully refined new white crystals. Compared with the analgesic effect of this white crystal. Morphine needs to be increased several times and has an extraordinary refreshing effect.
Liang Pengfei guessed at that time whether the greedy medical worker had refined the famous heroin among the drugs in later generations.
And just now, after Liang Pengfei finished his speech, while those people were chatting at the banquet, Liang Pengfei had already seen the physical object refined by De Pan, which was indeed Heroin.
However, what Liang Pengfei didn't expect was that Depan, who used to be the director of a pharmaceutical factory, actually made a deal with himself. He proposed to establish a pharmaceutical factory. He would work hard to study the process of quantitative production of morphine and heroin, but the condition was that he could get 30% of the shares. Share.
When the Crab King Island sage described De Pan's request in the letter in a contemptuous and quiet tone, Liang Pengfei, who saw the content of the letter, was not angry, but felt gratified, because De Pan's proposal opened a window for Liang Pengfei and a window to Europe.
During the experimental process, Depan found that the analgesic effect of these two extracts is very good. In addition, it can also have a strange effect on bronchitis, bronchial asthma, tuberculosis and other frequency. It can definitely be used as a special medicine for pain relief, and can also be used to treat bronchitis, bronchial asthma and Tuberculosis is a common disease.
Liang Pengfei had also been exposed to a lot of drugs when he wandered in the war zone in later generations. Naturally, he also knew that the first use of morphine and heroin happened to be drugs.
"Your wisdom is enough to illuminate the eastern sky, Your Excellency." He respectfully took the cigar handed over by Liang Pengfei, and Depan smiled a little more, and his inner excitement overflowed from the corners of his eyes and mouth uncontrollably.
"However, dear Depan, I agreed to your proposal, but the shares you need really make me feel a little embarrassed." The corners of Liang Pengfei's mouth tilted slightly.
"Why? Your Excellency, I am the inventor of morphine and heroin, and I have the right to rely on this technology to invest. The greed for wealth even defeated his respect for Liang Pengfei, and he jumped up and shouted loudly.
--------------------
However, after seeing the indifferent eyes of the burly big man standing behind Liang Pengfei, he soon regained his senses and apologized to Liang Pengfei. However, he still whispered that his credit was worth it.
"You don't have to worry too much. I didn't say I won't give you shares. It's just that your requirements are too high. You know, I'm going to build a factory that can produce at least 30,000 pounds of morphine and 10,000 pounds of heroin per year. This requires a lot of investment, which is a lot of money. Liang Pengfei looked at this guy and smiled. He didn't care about De Pan's rude performance. Most of all, although this guy was very greedy, he used it as his motivation to make a great contribution for himself.
However, Liang Pengfei doesn't want this guy's greed to affect his reason and research on drugs, because how can Liang Pengfei be worthy of the money he paid without squeezing this guy?
Hearing Liang Pengfei's description, Depan's eyes almost stared out: "My God, your idea is really surprising." Although Depan does not think that Liang Pengfei can completely sell such a large output, the problem is that if he produces more, he sells more, and his own income will be more. However, at the thought of Liang Pengfei's unwillingness to give himself 30% of the shares, Depan felt as uncomfortable as burning.
"That's 20%, isn't it?" Depan thought about it for a long time and struggled with some heartache.
Seeing De Pan's expression, Liang Pengfei almost laughed out loud. This guy really wanted money and didn't want to die. I'll only give you one. Liang Pengfei raised an index finger and looked at that finger. Depan's expression could be described as a funeral.
"Your Excellency, you can't do this. This is too little. You don't know. I don't know how much painstaking efforts I have paid for your order, but now, my efforts can't be rewarded accordingly..." Depan, who was so painful that he almost took off the wig on his head, looked at Liang Pengfei. I hope he can raised one more or even two fingers to soothe the hurt in his heart.
"Mr. Depan, you don't have to worry too much. One percentage of the shares are only temporary. If you can train a group of students for me, I will add another one to you." The smile on Liang Pengfei's face has not changed much.
"I do!" Depan didn't think about it. He immediately patted his chest to express his desire to be a gardener. For the good of view, he was willing to let him run naked on the crab king island, not to mention teaching a few students.
"Okay, in this case, Shijie, give the share gift to Mr. Depan for signature. Mr. Depan, I'm glad that we can continue to cooperate happily. I have to go first and meet others. I hope you can have a good time on Crab King Island."
"You should not be a general, but a businessman, respected general." Depan bent down to greet Liang Pengfei with a helpless wry smile.
