The journey starts from the Titanic

"Master has done a lot of business these years. He got engaged last year and gave birth to a son not long ago. Now we are going to his home in Hollywood." Lin Yimin said.

"Oh. My goodness, time flies so fast, that kid Situ got married and gave birth to a child!" Li Renqiao said happily, "What about Robles kid?"

"Mr. Robles is in New York, doing financial business. But he is not married, he is still single." Lin Yimin said, he thought for a moment, and continued: "Mr. Li, there is influenza in Los Angeles now, and many people have been infected. Many people died. You can see that everyone on the street is wearing a mask. This is a serious matter, not only in the United States, but the Spanish flu is now circulating in the world."

"Huh? It's so serious? No wonder the factory workers are wearing masks recently." Li Renqiao nodded, only then realized the seriousness of the situation.

Li Renqiao carefully looked at Los Angeles outside the car window. The streets have prospered a lot, the roads have expanded, the houses have increased, the buildings have increased, and the people have increased. It doesn't look like Los Angeles in my impression, but like New York, Chicago and other big cities.

Li Renqiao sighed with emotion in his heart, a little bit "a few days in the mountains, the world has been thousands of years", but he still wondered how he wanted to study funding after seeing Situ Nan.His synthetic ammonia experiment has entered a critical stage, requiring a funding of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

While Li Renqiao was thinking about Situ Nan silently, Situ Nan was sitting with Andrew.

"I plan to go back to the East. Pittsburgh has a lot of things that I need to go back and deal with." Andrew said.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Richard is helping you in business, what can you worry about? Now that the Spanish flu is spreading everywhere, it's better to leave after a while!" Situ Nan persuaded.

"No, the more and more serious influenza epidemic now makes me very uneasy. Compared with you, Richard is still lacking. I am afraid he will take it lightly and don't know the seriousness of the consequences.

Moreover, this battle is almost over, so I can clean up the beginning and the end when I go back.Didn't your kid order your companies to prepare for transformation recently?"

Andrew smiled, glanced at Situ Nan, and said in his heart: This kid is getting slippery.It is particularly sensitive in forecasting economic trends. Following in the footsteps of Situ Nan, the Mellon Consortium has been growing at a much faster rate in the east than other consortiums. It has continuously followed key steps such as Gulf oil, national debt trading, and Bethlehem Steel. The capital efficiency of the Mellon Consortium is far greater than that of other consortia.But this is Andrew will not tell Situ Nan, the smart Mellon has been making a fortune in a muffled voice.

Seeing Andrew's resolute look, Situ Nan knew that the little old man had made up his mind and refused to persuade him.

"Okay! I will invite the pastor to the house in a few days, and then it will not be too late for you to go after the baptism of the little guy. Haha, haven't you named him yet? Andrew, would you like to help?" Situ Nan smiled. .

"Of course." Andrew said, being able to name his grandson is extremely useful to him.After a while, he hummed an unknown tune and ran to see his beloved grandson.

After Andrew left, Situ Nan murmured: "Li Renqiao, Li Renqiao, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars. What kind of results do you hand over?! Giant Pharmaceuticals, can it really create miracles?"

Chapter 215

When Lin Yimin brought in a man with long hair, beard and scumbag, and a rough face, Situ Nan was taken aback for a while, and after looking at the other party for a while, he finally recognized Li Renqiao.

"Ren Qiao? You are very well dressed!" Situ Nan smiled.

"Oh, I just came out of the lab and I didn't have time to decorate. I heard that you were looking for me in a hurry and rushed over.

Li Renqiao wrinkled his nose slightly, and was a little uncomfortable with the faint smell of disinfectant in the air. When he came in, the guard kindly disinfected him.

"Oh? What are you busy with researching? Let's just listen to it. By the way, my boss doesn't know what his laboratory is researching. It's a failure!" Situ Nan smiled faintly, but slowly fell to the floor.He greeted Li Renqiao in his heart. If I didn't find him today, I guess he would not take the initiative to report on the laboratory.

"Industrial synthetic ammonia. It's almost a success and has reached a critical stage. However, the research funding is also exhausted. I'm here to ask you for money." Li Renqiao said directly. He straightened his hair with his slender and white fingers, looking expectantly. Looking at Situ Nan, it seemed a bit of a matter of course.

"Industrial synthetic ammonia? Sounds good!" Situ Nan was a little surprised, could not help but look at Li Renqiao, thinking: industrial synthetic ammonia is a world problem, except for the Germans, but the Germans are almost finished, and then spend some money from the defeated It is not difficult for the Germans to get the industrial ammonia technology, but Li Renqiao is actually studying this technology?I really want to look at it with admiration.

"How much?" Situ Nan asked.

"US$500,000, the more the better." Li Renqiao replied.

"500,000? Don't think about it!" Situ Nan suddenly scowled, staring at Li Renqiao, and said, "What about the hundred waves that I entrusted you to study? Why is there no news at all? Damn, take Lao Tzu's money to get rid of it. Project, your kid is really good!"

"Hundred waves and more interest? Did you entrust me to study this thing?" Li Renqiao's pale face was rarely red, and a little embarrassed. Since getting the funds to build the laboratory, he has not reported to Situ Nan in the past few years. It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to go through the laboratory, but there is not much that can be achieved.

"Yeah! Didn't I ask you to study a red dye? That is a lot of interest." Situ Nandao, suddenly remembered, vaguely remember that Giant Company built a dye factory a few years ago, did Li Renqiao succeed? ?

"So you were talking about that kind of red dye. Giant has a dye factory, but I don’t know if it’s what you said." Li Renqiao explained, "I remember I mentioned this to you before. Oh, I remember, I haven’t handed the report on the red dye to you yet? After successfully developing the red dye you mentioned, I was busy with other things. It took me several years. Up."

"Ah? Giant Company has been producing this dye for several years?" Situ Nan was taken aback for a while, suppressing his excitement and asked, "Are you sure you have developed a hundred waves of multi-breathing?"

"I don't know. It's a red dye. I don't know if it is called Bailangduoxi as you said, but it roughly matches your description." Li Renqiao shook his head. He once chemically tested Situ Nan's dye that became Bailangduoxi. , The result is just general chemical dyes, nothing special.

"Yes. It must be!" Situ Nan said excitedly, clenching a fist, and muttering words, "Damn, Li Renqiao is the same guy. After success, he said nothing, and the report was not submitted on time. The Giant Company is also true. , Terribly dull."

Situ Nan was walking up and down excitedly in the hall, but after all, he was too busy and didn't pay enough attention to this matter.

"Renqiao, now you are going to do an experiment immediately to see which red dye can treat the current flu." Situ Nan said solemnly.

But Li Renqiao shook his head and said: "Let's find someone else for this matter! I am not a doctor. Let the medical experiments be done by professionals! I hope you will allocate research funds to me as soon as possible."

"Idiot! Do you know this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Once the medical value of a hundred waves is proved, it means not only money, reputation, but also the lives of thousands of people. You don't know the Spanish flu that is circulating outside. How horrible is it?" Situ Nan cursed with hatred of iron.

"Okay! But the laboratory has no money now. This medical experiment needs to purchase a lot of equipment. You should allocate the funds first!" Li Renqiao turned his eyes and thought, anyway, get the funds first. How to spend time is not the final decision.

"Okay." Seeing Li Renqiao opening up.Situ Nan happily signed a $200,000 check to Li Renqiao, but considering that Li Renqiao was a bit unreliable, Situ Nan wanted to find a medical scientist to assist him.

"This matter is very important, I want to see the results as soon as possible, understand?" When going out, Situ Nan couldn't help but urge Li Renqiao.

Li Renqiao went back happily. Originally, he wanted to see Situ Nan’s son, but after he got the money, he forgot about it. He began to figure out that after completing this medical experiment, he had to purchase those equipment and instruments to complete his long time. Synthetic ammonia experiment.

The news brought by Li Renqiao excited Situ Nan. After seeing the hope of curing the Spanish flu, he decided to personally supervise the project.

After Li Renqiao left, Situ Nan fell into meditation, constantly recalling the various flus he experienced in his previous life.He was most impressed by SARS, because after returning to the dormitory after school one day, he actually received a large bag of isatis root from his mother.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan felt sour. Now that he has become famous, he even has a son, but he doesn't know how the two elders live in another world.

Huh, Banlangen?!In a trance, these three words split like lightning in Situ Nan's mind. His heart was shaken, and finally remembered, isn't Banlangen the magic medicine for preventing and curing the current flu?

Isatis root, isatis root...

When thinking of previous bird flu epidemics, there will be farce panic buying Banlangen everywhere.Numerous medical studies have found that Radix Isatidis has good anti-virus and anti-bacterial effects.Although it cannot directly treat influenza, it can improve the body's resistance, reduce the spread of influenza, and has great anti-epidemic uses.

And isatis root is very cheap and can be produced on a large scale, but isatis root is not produced in the United States, but it is everywhere in China.May allow Meihua to acquire Banlangen in large quantities.

Ordinary Chinese medicines like Banlangen, Xia Sangju, and Honeysuckle have become life-saving medicines for Chinese people who cannot afford expensive western medicine. After all, the things passed down from the ancestors are quite useful.However, in order to allow foreigners to accept Banlangen, the production method of western medicine is needed.

This allowed Situ Nan to open up an idea. He discovered from this incident that medicine will be a big industry, and it will always be a sunrise industry.

Wealth may gather sinfully, but it can also be scattered brightly.The Rockefeller Foundation is an example of the William Foundation, which donates countless funds for medical research every year.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan felt a little guilty. The Rockefeller Foundation can build the Union University in Beijing and cultivate a large number of medical talents for China. Why can't he?

Whether it is China, the United States or even the whole world, in the face of the menacing Spanish flu, Situ Nan realized that he had a responsibility to make a little contribution to the world a hundred years ago, not just make money.

Situ Nan invited Zeng Limin to the house and told him what he thought.

"I have this idea too. I once asked an old Chinese doctor in Chinatown. He also told me that Radix isatidis has a certain effect on symptoms such as cough and fever. However, the medicinal materials here are in short supply and need to be imported from mainland China. Now Meihua company is preparing to do so. Mainland China purchased a batch of Banlangen and shipped it to the United States for use by Chinese people throughout the United States. You know, other than us, others don't believe this." Zeng Limin said.

Situ Nan nodded, unexpectedly that Meihua Company had already come in front of him.

"Limin, the epidemic situation there is worse than here, right? Tell me about it." Situ Nan said.

"Well. According to the company's investigator's report, it started in Guangzhou in March this year, and then quickly spread to Sichuan and Shanghai until the northeast. Now this country is infected.

More than half of the Peiping police were ill, 40% of the people in Harbin were infected, schools closed and shops closed.There have also been two popular waves in Shanghai.This is the situation in the city, and the situation in the countryside is even harder to say."

Zeng Limin said with pity and pity that the epidemic made him worried. "Last month, Meihua Company used 300,000 silver dollars for influenza prevention and control in major cities such as Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Tianjin. However, nothing can stop the raging flu. what!"
