Facing Su Bai's questioning gaze, Wan Qili behaved calmly. She told Su Bai that many of her classmates' families were well-known people in Shanghai, and she would contact several classmates tomorrow to see who of them had such connections.

Even if they don't have it, they still have classmates and friends, classmates' classmates, friends' friends...it's not difficult to find.

"I won't tell them the truth. As long as I can get an appointment with the key person, we can talk in detail. Is that okay?"

Su Bai understood that if he followed Wan Qili's words and actions, this matter should not be difficult.

We can make an appointment with the relevant person, but it is hard to say how much of a role this person can play.

In comparison, Bi Yuming is obviously much more reliable.

First, Bi Yuming could go directly to heaven through the Military Control Commission, and second, Bi Yuming had personally used erythromycin, which was more convincing.

Zhou Beiwang's telegram was sent back quickly. He contacted Nanjing, and they told him that Bi Yuming had left Nanjing and returned to Linhua that morning.

What a coincidence! Su Bai felt that almost all the coincidences he encountered were not good things.

We can only wait for Bi Yuming to return to Linhua and then contact him by telegram. As for Wan Qili, she doesn't have to sit idle either. Let her contact her classmates and find connections.

Time is running out, and Su Bai has no right to be picky. No matter which side he can get in touch with, it's a good thing.

On April 4, Su Bai, accompanied by Xu Shengsheng and Manager Wan, began to purchase the necessary equipment from various foreign companies in the concession and companies that mainly dealt in imported chemical pharmaceutical equipment. Only then did he discover that in just over two months, the supply channels had changed a lot.

There is very little stock, and many devices only have one or two sets, or even only samples. If you want to purchase more than one set, you need to make a reservation. After paying the deposit, it will take two months or even longer for the equipment to arrive from Europe and the United States.

However, some companies said that they could transfer a small amount of goods from their branches in Hong Kong or Japan, which would be faster, taking about half a month to a month.

Although Su Bai had a premonition that his trip to Shanghai would not be particularly smooth, he still found it unbelievable when his premonition came true, and secretly complained in his heart: good things never come true, but bad things do.

Helplessly, Su Bai had to place deposits with several companies at the same time. He would take the deposit no matter which company's goods arrived. If the goods arrived after August 13, it would be of little significance.

By that time, I'm afraid even ships won't be able to enter Shanghai.

It is difficult to source goods in Shanghai, let alone Chongqing.

This once again proved that Su Bai's decision to buy equipment in Shanghai first and then move to Chongqing was correct, but it was a pity that it was a correct decision with disappointment.

If all the available equipment is purchased, penicillin can still be produced here, but the maximum output is far from Su Bai's goal.

In fact, some of the equipment can be produced by some domestic factories as long as they are willing to pay a high price, but Su Bai does not have the energy or time to find manufacturers that can produce these equipment.

Waiting for equipment takes time, and they can't just sit there doing nothing and take Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi shopping all day. After discussing it, they decided to resume the operation of the factory.

Mr. Xu brought back several technicians and workshop workers from before the factory stopped production that same day. Just one day later, they brought back dozens of workers.

According to Mr. Xu, before the suspension of production, there were more than 100 technicians, managers and workers in the factory, which was almost half of the original employees.

Su Bai felt that it was enough. After the factory started operating, it only produced two types of injections, acetaminophen and atropine, and then packaged and prepared some medicines such as alcohol, iodine and mercurochrome. As for the original main products, saline solution and glucose injections of various concentrations, they were no longer produced.

Unlike Longxing, fermentation and mold cultivation became top secret in the Fahua Pharmaceutical Factory, and was under the charge of Zi Yan and Xu Tianyi. Wan Qili would also come to help, but she mostly stayed by the radio twice a day. In addition, she also had to go out to help Su Bai find classmates and friends to contact personnel from relevant departments of the National Government.

On May 5, Zhou Beiwang sent a telegram saying that Bi Yuming had returned to Linhua.

Bi Yuming returned to Linhua this time to hand over his work. After handing over the work, he would go to Peiping to do some things and then return to Nanjing. At that time, he would report the situation of erythromycin and penicillin.

Bi Yuming also asked Zhou Beiwang to tell Su Bai to keep the matter secret as much as possible. Although there is no all-out war between China and Japan at present, the actions of Japanese spies and some traitors are very rampant. If the enemy's spies know about this, Su Bai will be in great danger.

After hearing Zhou Beiwang's warning, Su Bai regretted asking Wan Qili to look for connections everywhere.

As she cast her net so widely, more and more people knew about it.

Fortunately, we are just looking for someone and not mentioning the drugs, so it is still time to stop in time.

When Su Bai asked Wan Qili to stop, she was a little angry. She had already mobilized her connections and contacted many people, and it seemed that she was about to be done.

She has contacted an official from the Executive Yuan.

Only then did Su Bai realize that at that time the highest administrative agency in the government in charge of health was called the Department of Health, which was under the Executive Yuan.

The official has promised to communicate with relevant officials from the Department of Health and there should be news soon.

"It's only been two or three days, and they found someone from the Executive Yuan. Is this slow? Do you need to be so anxious, sister?" Wan Qili complained.

If you calm down and think about it, this efficiency should be considered very high. Su Bai expressed his apologies to Wan Qili.

Since things have come to this, Su Bai told Wan Qili not to contact anyone else except this official.

It would be great if this official could help us make the contact. If not, we will just wait for news from Bi Yuming.

On May 5, the factory officially resumed work after a day of cleaning and equipment inspection and debugging. Mold fermentation began in the large workshop at the southernmost part of the factory, where the brine was originally produced.

On May 5, Kong Yun said in a telegram that Captain Tian already knew that Su Bai had left the Kong Mansion and had even asked the second wife about it. Since Kong Dai, Kong Man and Kong Yun did not tell anyone else in the Kong Mansion about this, Captain Tian currently did not know that Su Bai had come to Shanghai.

Su Bai called Kong Yun back and told them that he could tell them that he had arrived in Shanghai, but he had to add a few places, saying that Su Bai would first return to Tianjin when leaving Longxing this time, then might go to Beijing, and then go south to Qingdao and Shanghai.

The purpose of this trip is to find better quality, cheaper sources of goods and new fashionable products for the company.

This news will soon reach Kong Li's ears. Believe it or not, Su Bai believes that Kong Li only cares about whether he is in Longxing. As for what he has done, as long as it has nothing to do with the batch of gold bars, he doesn't care.

Moreover, since he was not at the Kong Mansion, he would not cause trouble for the people there. He was very busy with things at the mine, and Huang Wenchang was still secretly investigating him over there.

Su Bai's judgment was wrong. Only one day later, Kong Li brought his men back to the Kong Mansion.
