Break out of the courtyard

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhang Heping sat in the passenger seat of Director Dao's 212 Jeep, Director Li of the Educated Youth Office in the back handed him an envelope, a report letter!

Zhang Heping glanced at the content of the letter. It was a report that Jingcheng College previously ran a night school and sold teaching materials to capitalists...

No need to think about it, this matter has nothing to do with silence!

Director Li kindly reminded: "Xiao Zhang, although it is normal for schools to sell teaching materials like hospitals to sell medicines, the income should be handed over and then distributed as a whole. You know what I mean!"

"Well!" Zhang Heping folded the report letter twice, stuffed it back into the envelope, and handed it back to the back row, "Vice Principal Zheng is in charge of the finances. She mentioned this before. Years ago, she will hand over the school's remaining funds. And report next year’s plan.”

"That's good!" Director Li leaned back in his chair with relief after hearing this.

The flow of money within the unit must be reasonable, compliant, and well-documented.

Since Zhang Heping avoided this issue in advance, this anonymous reporting letter is a frame-up and can be ignored.

"Xiao Zhang, over there at the Health Bureau..." Director Dao hesitated. He wanted to agree to donate medicine and contribute to domestic patients.

But he had a profit agreement with Zhang Heping, so it was not convenient for him to hold back.

"Medicine can be donated through the Educated Youth Affairs Office, but not through the Laoye Bureau. I don't believe Mo Mo and his father Shen Gang!" Zhang Heping leaned back in his chair and said coldly: "If they want to treat domestic malaria patients, they won't Take all the Artemisia annua oral liquid and export it to earn foreign exchange!”

"So, Shen Gang did this out of selfishness. He just wanted to reduce the amount of our exports by asking us to donate medicines, thereby reducing the impact on his son's exports."

Director Li laughed when he heard that it would be donated to the Educated Youth Office, "It would be great if the Educated Youth Office donates it, so that the educated youths who work as barefoot doctors can distribute medicine to patients in the villages!"

Director Dao also nodded in approval of this method. Everyone is not stupid, how could they not notice that the boss is playing moral kidnapping.

Director Dao asked again: "How much are you going to donate? How much are you going to export?"

"Donate half to the province, leave a quarter to the province, and take the remaining quarter to the Canton Fair next spring to sell half and give half as a gift!" Zhang Heping came up with a plan without even thinking about it.

Director Dao did not expect Zhang Heping to be so generous, so he couldn't help but ask: "How much production do you expect from this crop of Artemisia annua?"

When he thought about it, Zhang Heping dared to claim a profit of more than 100 million magnesium yuan to benefit Nanla Town, so he must have a high output.

"Director Zhao gave the Artemisia annua seeds from the first half of this year to surrounding towns and villages for planting, leaving only the cuttings. As a result, the planting density this year was not enough and the yield per mu was reduced by half." Zhang Heping explained patiently:

"Calculated based on a yield of 5000 kilograms per mu, 260 acres..."

"Wait!" Director Dao interrupted, "Old Zhao is saying that this year's yield per mu will be 6000 kilograms or 300 mu!"

"Really?" Zhang Heping estimated that Director Zhao would not be able to continue calculations since he launched the satellite. "Then we will wait until we get to Nanla Town and calculate based on the actual situation; the quality of the equipment will also have a great impact on the output."

When three 3 jeeps drove to Nanla Town, Director Zhao, Bai Yun and others had been waiting for a long time.

The Nanla Town Pharmaceutical Factory was built next to the tea factory at the southern end of the War Preparation Highway, directly opposite the health center.

The gate of the pharmaceutical factory is the gap in the middle of the two large red brick warehouses on the left and right, plus two iron railings.

The small bungalow more than 100 meters behind the door is the core pharmaceutical workshop.

In fact, it is the artemisinin purification room where the equipment is installed. Because gasoline and ethanol are volatile, it is built farther away for safety.

There is a fence 5 meters behind the small bungalow. On the left and right corners of the fence, two bamboo shelters were erected, and some gasoline barrels and ethanol barrels were placed respectively.

Walking into the pharmaceutical factory surrounded by red bricks, outside the raw material warehouse on the left (east), there are still a lot of dried Artemisia annua piled up. Some townspeople are putting it into a grinder and crushing it for distribution. into the warehouse.

Zhang Heping went to the pharmaceutical warehouse on the right, took a cursory glance at the supplies, and then went to the small bungalow pharmaceutical workshop.

The equipment base in the small bungalow has been set up, with white tiles surrounding it. There are four exhaust fans on the south wall, and the wiring is outside the wall. There are no wires or lights in the room, and the lighting is provided by the windows on the southeast, northwest, and southeast walls.

Back at the pharmaceutical warehouse, everyone put together the long wooden table that was going to be used to fill the capsules and held a meeting around it.

At the meeting, while Zhang Heping was assembling the ultrasonic sound-producing device, he listened to Director Zhao playing the satellite there. He laughed secretly in his heart. This simple old man was led astray by him...

When it was Zhang Heping's turn to speak, he had to help Director Zhao round it off, "The output of this anti-abuse capsule is affected by the harvesting, drying, storage, and purification of Artemisia annua."

"Theoretically, every 100 kilograms of Artemisia annua can produce 1 kilogram of artemisinin, which means 1000 grams of powder can hold 2000 anti-abuse capsules." As soon as Zhang Heping's theoretical data came out, everyone around him picked up paper and pen. Do the math.

"Director Zhao just said that 90 kilograms of Artemisia annua were harvested this year. In other words, 1800 million capsules can be produced?"

"Principal Zhang, how much do you plan to price it?"

Zhang Heping raised his hands and pressed down on everyone, and continued: "Theoretical data is different from actual data. Just like the last time I made it, 100 kilograms of Artemisia annua only produced more than grams of Artemisia annua, and it was only filled with More than four hundred capsules.”

"In addition, how many people are needed to manually fill capsules, and how long does it take to fill 1800 million capsules?"

"So, this theoretical data is used as a breakthrough target. We need to judge production capacity based on the actual data later."

“As for the price, we can’t decide until production is over.”

Director Dao said a few more words to prevent others from reporting random data to the superiors.

……

On the 14th of the next day, Zhang Heping led several townspeople to install equipment in the small bungalow pharmaceutical workshop.

Trial production started that afternoon...

The gasoline soaks the crushed Artemisia annua residue, and the ultrasonic device breaks the plant cells of Artemisia annua to accelerate the dissolution of Artemisia annua.

Then extract and filter the residue, recover gasoline, and collect crude artemisinin.

Then use 95% ethanol to extract, filter the residue, recover ethanol, and collect artemisinin.

Then extract with 95% ethanol until pure colorless needle crystals are obtained.

The steps are very simple, the most important thing is to prevent fire and explosion.

For this trial production, 1000 kilograms of Artemisia annua slag was specially weighed using a scale.

The process that should have been soaked for 24 hours was shortened to 1 hour with the help of ultrasonic equipment.

Therefore, Director Ma and the others waited outside for less than two hours before Zhang Heping came out with half a bucket of artemisinin.

After several weighings, it was confirmed that 7.38 kilograms of Artemisia annua powder was produced this time, which is still far from the theoretical 10 kilograms.

Then, with this little powder, 14760 capsules can theoretically be made.

However, after being filled by 100 selected women in the town, not to mention that it took a long time, the number of finished products was also far from the theoretical production data. Only 13822 pieces were made.

In this regard, Zhang Heping looked at the medicinal powder on the ground and made no comment.

The work table he originally designed was not the simple long wooden table now.

Instead, it is a wooden tabletop with a glass cover or a transparent plastic cover, leaving two holes in front of it for rubber gloves.

When filling capsules, the entire process is carried out inside the cover. Workers can chat and blow the fan, which also ensures the hygiene of pharmaceutical production and facilitates the recycling of wasted pharmaceutical powder.

"Principal Zhang, I need 5000 capsules to take back for testing data. Do you think it's okay?"

"A bottle of medicine contains 30 pills, and a carton contains 100 bottles. You can take two boxes and take them away. The instructions for the medicine are in the factory construction report. Please refer to them."

"Principal Zhang, may I ask, is the production error in the quantity of medicine caused by the loss of the powder on the ground?"

"I mentioned the issue of powder loss in the factory construction report. You can study it again."

"Principal Zhang, let's see what's missing. Tell us directly. This will improve work efficiency, what do you think?"
