Rise From Eight Hundred

The three characters "antibiotics" were written on the white paper.

Mycobiotics were no longer a secret after being discovered by Dr. Fleming of the British Empire in 1928. Over the years, not only the British Empire has been researching them, but the United States has also not fallen behind, including the Rockefeller Foundation, which has invested huge amounts of money in the fields of medicine and education.

During World War I, many soldiers did not die from fatal injuries caused by bullets, but from bacterial infections of wounds.

Fleming, who once went to the German and French fronts to study how to prevent wound infections, was no unknown person. He and his mentor Wright confirmed that the antiseptics used on the battlefield at that time did not actually play any role in disinfecting traumatic wounds. The bacteria were not really killed, but the human phagocytes were killed, making the wounds more susceptible to malignant infections. Dr. Fleming made a famous constructive suggestion, suggesting the use of concentrated saline to rinse the wounds, but it was a pity that this suggestion was not widely adopted until World War II.

Of course, in this era of lack of "antibiotics", Tang Dao adopted the suggestion made by the doctor who eventually won the Nobel Prize in Medicine more than ten years ago. Before bandaging the wounds of soldiers, the medical soldiers assigned to the company and platoon would rinse the wounds with concentrated saline. Although it was painful, it indirectly reduced the chance of bacterial infection and saved many soldiers' lives.

In the Four-Line Regiment, the mortality rate of bacterial infection was 20 percentage points lower than the normal mortality rate, which was enough to prove the role of this suggestion that has not been widely adopted so far.

Although the research in European and American countries has not made much progress so far, the "antibiotics" that can inhibit wound infection are the key to saving the lives of thousands of soldiers. For ten years, there has been no interruption in funding.

As a core member of Rockefeller, Laura naturally knows that her great-grandfather is determined to use this "antibiotic" that only exists in the accidental discovery of poor experimental results. In five years, the Rockefeller family has invested at least more than 5 million US dollars, which is almost equivalent to investing in a medium-sized enterprise.

However, the research that invested huge amounts of money did not see any light. Before Laura left the United States, the extracted "antibiotics" poisoned a large number of experimental mice. That thing is extremely powerful in killing people, not to mention saving people.

As a result, in China, where civilization is at least two dimensions behind the West, someone actually told her that there was an "antibiotic" sample. Isn't this funny? If it was said by someone else.

But the person who wrote these three words was Tang Dao.

If it was an hour ago, Tang Dao would definitely be regarded as a lunatic by Laura when he wrote these three words, but after seeing the magic of this man during the entire negotiation process, Laura knew that Tang Dao would definitely not be the kind of person who talked nonsense.

He basically did what he said, including the design drawings he drew in front of her before and the various performance parameters that were so detailed that it made her scalp numb. He said that he was an extremely outstanding mechanical engineer, and no one would doubt it.

But these miracles are nothing compared to "antibiotics".

"Colonel Tang, do you know what these three words you wrote mean?" Laura tried her best to suppress the shock in her heart and looked at Tang Dao with some expectation.

"Of course I know that once this fungal antibiotic discovered by Dr. Fleming is successfully developed, it can save thousands of patients with wound infections and sepsis, and human medical civilization will take a big step forward." Tang Dao smiled confidently and determinedly. "And, the money is rolling in!"

At this point, Laura finally understood why Tang Dao said that the cooperation was pleasant.

The so-called cooperation does not only refer to Tang Dao providing funds. The Rockefeller Foundation purchases materials and ships them to China. Most of the initiative is not on Tang Dao's side. The Rockefeller Foundation can completely delay the delivery of goods with various reasons such as bad weather and rampant pirates.

In the war years, materials are king. No matter how rich the sponsor is, he may not be able to buy everything.

But now, when Tang Dao takes out the so-called "antibiotics", as long as he does not lie, he really has equal negotiation capital with the Rockefeller Foundation.

Because Laura understood too well the value that "antibiotics" could create. As long as the war started, "antibiotics" would become a kind of strategic material reserve for all countries. There would be crazy sales of hundreds of millions or even billions of antibiotics. Even if the profit of one antibiotic was only 1 US dollar, it would be a profit of more than 1 billion US dollars.

Laura was still too cautious. With the outbreak of the war in the future, the price of penicillin soared, and it was even out of stock. It was even more exaggerated in China. Take 1949 as an example. Because of its extreme scarcity, the price of one penicillin was the price of a large yellow croaker, and it became a life-saving medicine that only the rich could afford.

Such a huge and exaggerated number, even the daughter of the Rockefeller family was a little dazed at that moment.

This batch of wealth will not only have a huge impact on the Rockefeller Foundation, but also have a greater significance for her personally.

If there were brutal struggles within the family before, even the powerful leaders of the consortium, such as her great-grandfather and grandfather, had to put her in the Far East to protect her away from the vortex of struggle, then when she brought the "antibiotics" for the consortium and returned with a profit of more than one billion US dollars, all obstacles would be wiped out.

"How can you prove it?" Laura could no longer maintain her usual calmness, and asked with a trembling voice.

"I brought five samples with me to Tianjin this time. With Miss Laura's ability, I think one week is enough to prove it! I will stay in Tianjin for another ten days." Tang Dao smiled and took out five tightly wrapped glass bottles from his briefcase and placed them in front of Laura one by one.

"As long as we have enough medical production equipment, I can prove to Miss Laura that we have enough ability to mass produce it."

"Okay, give me a week. As long as you are not lying, Colonel Tang, I can agree to all your previous requests on behalf of my family. And if you have transportation difficulties, we can also provide relevant assistance." Looking at the five inconspicuous small bottles, Laura's sea blue eyes flashed with determination.

For this medicine that is about to change an era, Laura is determined to get it.

At the same time, her promise also shows that the premise that the Rockefeller family will help China is all based on the equal cooperation between the two sides. If Tang Dao lies or the medicine does not achieve the expected effect, the previous negotiations are just lip service.

In the eyes of capital, everything is just a deal. No matter how strong Tang Dao's negotiation skills were, it would be useless before he could impress capital.

Of course, this young couple are both smart people.

Laura was not stupid enough to ask Tang Dao what would happen if she stole the drug back to China for reverse research and imitation if it was effective?

Tang Dao gave her a week to tell her the answer in disguise. There are not only Americans in the Western Concession, but also Germans, Romans, British Empire, and French. If Americans want to do something, Tang Dao can just smash the pot, and no one can have a full meal.

Medicinal powder is not flour, and mold purification is not a day or two. Reverse research and imitation requires enough time. If you want to eat this fat meat, you must obtain technology and register a patent in the United States Federation. Even if other countries imitate it in the future, they will have to pay patent royalties.

Tang Dao did not ask to write any contracts or agreements first, because he believed that with Laura's wisdom, she would not be so short-sighted.

Moreover, penicillin technology is not a very important technology for Tang Dao. In just two years, penicillin will be available in the British Empire. Tang Dao took out this thing at this moment, and its biggest purpose was to fleece the American Empire and achieve penicillin freedom in the Taihang Mountains.

"Okay, then Miss Laura, see you in a week!" Seeing that the foundation for cooperation between the two sides has been laid, Tang Dao also stood up and said goodbye and left.

"Colonel Tang, I'll see you off!" Laura put the five bottles of medicine on the table into her handbag and stood up to see him off.

So, the employees of the Tianjin Branch of Citibank in China saw such a strange scene. Miss Laura, the shareholder representative who was unattainable in their eyes, not only sent a Chinese man out of the door, but also stood at the door and watched the man's back walking away for a long time, with a look of "lost".

Of course, they didn't know that this was the last conversation between the young man and woman before they parted.

"As we are about to part, I suddenly remembered that you said before, Colonel Tang, that you first believed in the integrity of the Rockefeller family, but you didn't seem to mention the second reason. Can you tell me about the second reason? I'm very curious." Laura suddenly asked Tang Dao before parting.

"The second reason?" Tang Dao smiled very brightly again, glanced at the black muscular man who was only five or six meters away from Laura, and did not answer directly. He turned around and left with Mingxin who had been waiting outside the door.

"Miss Laura is so smart, so you can guess it. There will be a prize if you guess it right!" Tang Dao's voice came from afar, more than 20 meters away.

I guess DER! At that moment, Laura really wanted to hit someone.

Even though Tang Dao had a straight and slender figure, a good-looking face, and a sunny smile, which was in line with the aesthetics of most women, especially Western women with strong personalities, Laura, who really wanted to get an answer but only got a "guess", really wanted to punch someone in the face who could score 80 points.

It was really too pretentious.

Really, even if he is ugly, Laura can accept someone pretending to be cool for the sake of money, but someone's almost arrogant self-confidence is really too irritating.

But the key is that his arrogance and self-confidence are never groundless. Facts have proved that he has enough confidence, not just because he has tens of millions of dollars.

That is the type of man Laura has never met before, handsome and cunning, arrogant, and confident.

Fortunately, the future Rockefeller family controller not only has super self-control, but also has wisdom far beyond ordinary people. Soon, she began to think about what it means behind it.

The back of the Chinese man who strode away was still tall and straight.

"Miss, that man is very dangerous. Try to have less contact with him in the future." The black guard suddenly warned the foreign girl in a very cautious and serious whisper.

"Why, he is alone, James, with your skills and your team members, are you afraid of him?" Laura's eyelids trembled slightly, and her sea-blue eyes continued to stare at Tang Dao's receding back, and she answered softly.

Since the Rockefeller Foundation dared to place the first heir of the fourth generation of the family in war-torn China, it was naturally well prepared.

Laura was not only protected by a retired Marine lieutenant, but also by a fully armed team of 16 people, divided into 4 groups with a 6-hour rotation system, each group of 4 people, guarding within a distance of less than 50 meters from Laura.

This group of guards, all retired soldiers who received strict guard training, have a monthly salary of up to 1,000 US dollars per person. If the purchasing power is benchmarked against the future, it is equivalent to an annual salary of up to 300,000 US dollars per person.

In addition to the high military literacy of the personnel, the equipment is also sophisticated enough. The Garand semi-automatic rifle, which has not yet been popularized by the US Army, has become the standard for individual soldiers. In addition, individual soldiers are also equipped with Colt 1911 pistols, and even two light machine guns and rifle grenades.

Let alone guarding Laura, with this equipment, they can fight an offensive and defensive battle with a Japanese infantry squadron.

This is only the closest to Laura. In addition, there is an armed team scattered in the concession in the name of the Rockefeller family's various industrial guards, with a total of 200 people and heavy firepower of 3 heavy machine guns and 3 mortars.

Once a crisis occurs, all will be under the command of James Bond, who will escort Laura to an armed freighter equipped with artillery and machine guns at the port of Tianjin as quickly as possible.

The garrison in the concession also received military orders and will do its best to ensure Laura's safety. If Laura's life is endangered, unless Japan and Western countries go to war and attack the concession with heavy troops, Laura's life will be safe.

"My superior once told me not to provoke a wounded beast, which is even more dangerous than provoking a lion." Fear flashed in the eyes of the big black muscular man. "The blood shed by that man's men is enough to fill the trench."

The glance Tang Dao gave him just now was ordinary, but in the eyes of this Marine Corps lieutenant who had received special training in the army for several years, it was like being stared at by a prehistoric beast. At that moment, he could even clearly see the cold hairs standing up and the cold sweat on his back.

It was not that Tang Dao's eyes were filled with any malice, but purely the instinctive fear of lower creatures facing higher creatures. To put it bluntly, there was a gap similar to the dimension.

"Is he that strong?" Laura said it was hard to believe.

"Yes, I even felt that there was a sharpshooter watching us from a distance. If we make any unusual movements, I would be the first to die." The dark muscular man glanced into the distance and blocked Laura with his wide body without leaving any trace.

It was not that Tang Dao's glance completely stimulated his fighting instinct. He really didn't feel that he was being stared at by a gun from hundreds of meters away, but he felt it at that moment.

"This big black charcoal is good! He can actually sense my presence." In the attic of a restaurant 280 meters away, Shen Laoliu moved his eyes away from the four-fold scope and grinned to praise the black guard who made tactical moves.

"But, the reaction is still a little slow? If I want to kill that girl, there are many opportunities." Shen Laoliu skillfully disassembled the Czech semi-automatic rifle, and then put all the disassembled parts into a black bag.

After all, this is in the concession. Although he has a pass specially issued by the concession commander, it is still too conspicuous to carry a gun. Do you really think there are no Japanese spies in the concession!

"To use the old Chinese saying, you are called a snake in the cup, James, relax a little, this is not a battlefield, there are more than 3,000 soldiers and hundreds of police stationed here, it is very safe. That guy is a soldier, and he is a high-ranking soldier. It is normal for him to have armed guards around him." Laura frowned slightly, slightly dissatisfied with her personal guard being so nervous.

After all, this is Citibank, her territory, but the arrogant man is so good that a look from her makes her most trusted guard sweat on his forehead.

If she hadn't seen James knock down a strong family guard with his bare hands in a one-on-eight situation, and accurately hit a whiskey bottle from 400 meters away, she would have really considered whether to replace her guard captain.

"Miss..." The dark muscular man actually wanted to say that, let alone Tang Dao, the young man waiting for Tang Dao outside the door was not simple either. Regardless of the gun, he might not be his opponent.

James Bond just wanted to remind himself, Miss, out of the instinct of a soldier, that it is better not to use too tough measures against people like Tang Dao.

Didn't God say: Things that can be solved with money are not a problem for the Rockefeller family.

"Okay, I know what to do." Laura waved her hand a little depressed, stopping her guard captain from making further suggestions.

Until she walked into the office alone, her eyes swept across the wooden chair where Tang Dao had sat, and her eyes suddenly stagnated.

There were five clearly identifiable fingerprints on the armrests of the wooden chair made of fine oak, as if there was a lot of dust on it, and the fingers were accidentally left on it.

But the foreign girl knew that it was impossible. Professionals would come in every 4 hours to clean this office.

Needless to say, it was left by the arrogant but well-funded Chinese man, who pressed on the hard oak with his finger force.

"Oh! What the hell, what a monster!" In a flash, Laura finally figured out the second reason for Tang Dao.

If Rockefeller or Citibank dared to really default on their debts, he would touch the heads of all the Americans here like gently caressing oak.

Doing business may not be his strong point, but killing is!

Lieutenant James's feeling was right. That man was very dangerous.

However, no matter how dangerous it was, if he hoped to win the war with the Japanese, wouldn't he have to ask her to help import various goods?

"This time I really have a hunch that what you said, dangerous man, is more than 90% true." He stretched out his hand and placed the five small glass bottles containing white powder on the table. After the shock, the fear in his sea-blue eyes disappeared, replaced by full of eagerness to try, and he murmured softly.

"No wonder my great-grandfather said, 'It's easy to be a dragon slayer, you just need a gun, only those who learn to control the dragon are real warriors!', this is really exciting and interesting!"

The future controller of Rockefeller, his favorite saying is Caesar's: I come, I see, I conquer!
