Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

"I remember the eldest young lady's surname was Su..." Shopkeeper Wan immediately understood: "I understand, I understand."

He reminded Su Bai that if he came to Shanghai just for fun, it would be fine, but if he wanted to discuss business, it would be better to print a business card. This is now popular in Shanghai. No matter what one's status is, anyone who has business or official dealings with the outside world should print a business card for themselves.

"Then please trouble Manager Wan to help me find a place to print some business cards." According to what Manager Wan said, Su Bai's business cards must be printed.

She gave herself a pseudonym: Lan Jieru.

Su Bai had a hunch that as production increased, the influence would grow. This hard-to-find penicillin that had inexplicably appeared on the market would attract more and more people's attention, and someone would inevitably investigate the source of this drug.

It could be Kong Li, or someone more powerful than Kong Li, who would investigate the matter.

If it is confirmed that the drug is produced in China, then the production site and the sources of various raw materials necessary for production, including packaging bottles, packaging equipment, etc. will inevitably be investigated. The sources of the raw materials for these equipment are not difficult to find in China. There are only a few manufacturers that can produce them, and most of them are imported. There are not many businesses and companies that deal in imported medical equipment and raw materials, so they will be traced back to themselves soon.

Su Bai has not yet decided whether or not to disclose his identity, production site and process flow in the future.

In this chaotic world, even if you want to make it public, you have to choose a suitable time.

Therefore, before that, Su Bai needs to do everything possible to hide himself and create some troubles and obstacles for the next possible investigation.

It all started in Shanghai, using a pseudonym.

"Miss Lan, look, should I also get a fake identity?" asked Manager Wan.

"This..." Su Bai had never thought about this. If Manager Wan was the contact person or middleman for purchasing equipment in Shanghai, it would only be beneficial for him to use a fake identity.

Shopkeeper Wan once again expressed his desire to help Su Bai. Su Bai had only been in charge of the Kong family for a few months. To be honest, Shopkeeper Wan did not see from these few months that Su Bai's abilities were necessarily better than those of other wives. He believed that Su Bai was doing something big because of the shopping list that Su Bai had given him.

Although he did not purchase these devices from Shanghai in the end, Manager Wan gained a general understanding of what these things were used for while looking for sources of goods.

Or they produce medicines, and Western medicines.

Or do experiments.

This is not something that ordinary businessmen are capable of doing.

"Then use a pseudonym. It may not work..."

Before Su Bai finished speaking, Shopkeeper Wan understood what he meant: "It's better to be safe than sorry."

Liu Abao, this is the pseudonym that Manager Wan gave himself, a name with some local characteristics.

Manager Wan first took the five people to his home in the French Concession, and then went out with Su Bai to print business cards.

The business cards of that era were not like those of modern times, where you can pick them up immediately. Even if you paid extra, you would have to wait until the afternoon to get them.

At noon, after Manager Wan hosted a welcome party for Su Bai, he took everyone out for a stroll. The first day passed like this.

……

Early in the morning, Manager Wan came to the hotel. He had already contacted the agent of the pharmaceutical factory.

This is a pharmaceutical factory located in the southern area of ​​the French Concession. The factory name is engraved in gold-plated Chinese and French fonts on the marble doorpost: Far East Fahua Pharmaceutical Company.

A short middle-aged man was already waiting in front of the locked large iron gate.

The man's surname was Xu. After Manager Wan handed over his and Su Bai's business cards, Mr. Xu also handed over his own business card, which showed that his position was sales agent for Far East Fahua Pharmaceutical Company.

There is only one thing to sell, which is to sell this business.

This pharmaceutical factory was invested and built by a German. However, due to family changes, the factory stopped production and closed down shortly after it was put into operation, and the owner returned to his home country.

Mr. Xu was the deputy director of the factory at that time. Having studied in Germany, he was also a friend of this German.

According to Mr. Xu, although the scale of Far East Fahua Pharmaceutical is not very large, its equipment and facilities are first-class, with complete production and experimental equipment, and buyers can start production immediately.

Although Fahua Pharmaceutical's previous product varieties were relatively simple, with the growing influence of Western medicine in China, its sales prospects are optimistic.

Before its closure, the plant mainly produced normal saline, 10% saline, three different concentrations of glucose injection, analgin and atropine injection.

In addition, we also prepare small packages of iodine tincture and repackaging of medical alcohol for major hospitals.

Mr. Xu took Su Bai to visit all the workshops, laboratories and offices in the factory, and Su Bai was very satisfied.

There are indeed some equipment and facilities here that are more advanced than the ones on the list I originally made based on my memory and imagination.

Most of them can be bought in foreign businesses or companies in Shanghai.

In addition, what excites Su Bai the most is the bottles used by the factory to prepare small packages of iodine and alcohol - vials.

At that time, the name "syringa bottle" did not exist yet. The name "syringa bottle" came from the fact that penicillin was used in large quantities in the future.

Prior to this, vials had been widely used in the packaging of laboratories, vaccines, dry powder medicines, etc.

Compared with ampoules, vials are stronger and less likely to break during transportation.

Moreover, there are still a large number of empty bottles in stock in the factory's warehouse.

Buying this factory is a good choice and saves trouble, but Su Bai can't come up with so much money at the moment.

Mr. Xu said, no legal tender, 5 silver dollars, no bargaining.

Manager Wan asked Mr. Xu a rather unoriginal question. If he sold the factory, he would definitely get a commission, which should be no less than 1000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xu was actually honest and said that he could indeed get a commission, and it was more than 1000 yuan.

"Mr. Liu, are you asking me to give up part of the commission I deserve?" Mr. Xu asked first and then answered: "Let's not talk about this."

"Oh, it's like this. Miss Lan is very interested in buying this factory, but..." He rubbed his index finger and thumb together.

The meaning is very clear, it's not very convenient in terms of money.

Mr. Xu refused directly. In the past few months, many people came to visit the factory, including Chinese and foreigners. Some wanted to bargain, and some wanted to postpone payment, but he refused. This was also the factory owner's intention.

"We can pay a deposit first." Manager Wan said again.

"That's fine. Pay the full amount within half a month." Although a half-month deadline was given, Su Bai did not feel that Mr. Xu had made any concessions.

"Mr. Xu, please wait a moment. Let me discuss this with Miss Lan." Shopkeeper Wan pulled Su Bai aside.

Su Bai had begun to admire Manager Wan's business acumen. Although Su Bai had not told him, he had accurately guessed that Su Bai wanted to buy it but had no money.

He even guessed that Su Bai wanted to do the same thing as he had done in the pharmaceutical factory in Qingdao and dismantle some of the equipment and buy it.

In fact, what Su Bai wants most now are the hundreds of empty syringe bottles in the warehouse.

"Can you collect enough money in three months?" Manager Wan asked again.

Su Bai nodded pretentiously.

In fact, I'm not sure at all.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Manager Wan said confidently.
