When Duncans saw Li Jingrong walk into the office, he immediately stood up and said respectfully, "Boss, you're finally here."

Li Jingrong came to the soft big sofa and sat down, and asked: "What's the situation in Germany now?"

Duncans asked his secretary to bring a cup of coffee and handed it to Li Jingrong. He then said, "Boss, I have contacted Minister Speer of the German Munitions Department. He is very interested in our penicillin."

"We have already contacted five volunteers. Now we just need to bring the penicillin over."

"They will arrange everything else."

Last time, Li Jingrong brought over a ton of 80 units of penicillin solution.

This penicillin solution is enough to make 600 million doses of penicillin.

If calculated based on the current market price of US$200 per piece, this would be US$12 billion.

Of course, that’s not how it’s calculated.

For a product, a higher price means fewer sales.

The most important thing is how to occupy the market while controlling prices.

"Since everything is ready, let's go directly."

The next day, Duncans, Li Jingrong and his party set out for Berlin again.

Compared to 40 years ago, Berlin is obviously not as lively as before.

With the war on two fronts, almost all the able-bodied men in Germany were drained.

The whole country is filled with a war atmosphere at this moment.

But this is not Li Jingrong's business. The more brutal the war is, the better, so that he can make more money.

He made nearly $56 million just by relying on the Type rocket launcher, referring to the $ million during the Republic of China period.

From this you can imagine how huge the profits from arms are.

However, in most cases, barter is adopted.

The German cavalry spread across the European continent, capturing countless trophies.

Compared to cash, Li Jingrong prefers to find some good things here.

There are more than 20,000 antiques from the Western world alone, and many of them are rare treasures.

In Xiao Huzi's opinion, these things might as well be exchanged for some weapons and medicines.

Finally, Duncans and Li Jingrong arrived at the final destination of this trip - Berlin Charité Medical School Hospital.

This is also one of the best hospitals in Germany, and has now been requisitioned as a military hospital for treating wounded soldiers.

Various seriously injured people can be seen everywhere here.

For these wounded soldiers, here are the best doctors, the best medical equipment, and the best medicines in Germany.

However, inflammation remains a leading cause of death and has always been associated with these injuries. Most people often die in bed due to recurrence of inflammation.

Although sulfa is also a good anti-inflammatory drug, it has great limitations, the effect is not particularly ideal, and the side effects are very large.

So when Speer heard that Umbrella had successfully developed penicillin.

I immediately contacted Charité Medical College Hospital.

The hospital's top management was shocked when they heard the news.

These professionals know best what penicillin is.

Their hospital can also produce this medicine in small batches.

However, the cost is extremely high, and it barely reaches 10 units, which is impossible to use on these wounded soldiers.

But they heard that the penicillin developed by Umbrella Corporation was as high as a terrifying 80 units.

Their first reaction was disbelief, but many of the medicines their hospital now uses are from Umbrella.

So they were skeptical and wanted to see whether the amount of penicillin in Umbrella's hands really reached 80 units.

After all, while they were still painstakingly researching 10 units, the other party directly produced an 80-unit dose, which was really hard to believe.

When he arrived at the hospital lobby, Li Jingrong's eyes immediately fell on the middle-aged man in a suit.

This man looked a little thin and a little bald, but the aura of a person in power revealed his identity.

Li Jingrong did not expect that Speer, the Minister of Munitions, would come in person.

With the outbreak of the war on the Eastern Front, the fact that the Minister of Munitions was able to spare the time at this moment seemed to indicate that he really attached great importance to penicillin.

Speer now has to take it seriously.

With the outbreak of war, a large number of seriously injured soldiers needed various medicines every day, among which anti-inflammatory drugs were the most lacking.

If the penicillin in Umbrella's hands is indeed effective, it can save a large number of wounded soldiers and allow them to return to the battlefield faster.

After seeing Speer, Duncans couldn't help but put away his smile.

"Mr. Minister, I didn't expect you to come here in person."

Speer nodded proudly and said, "I want to see if your penicillin is as good as you say. The soldiers on the front lines need it so much. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Duncans said: "Mr. Minister, you can rest assured that its effect will definitely exceed everyone's imagination."

Speer said nothing more. The dean beside him stepped forward and said, "Then let's get started. Some volunteers can't hold on much longer."

The group came to a large ward on the 8th floor.

The conditions in this ward are pretty good. Although it is a bit crowded, at least everyone has a single bed.

Smelling the strong smell of disinfectant in the ward, Li Jingrong couldn't help but frown.

After arriving at the ward, Duncans handed the box in his hand to the accompanying medical staff and said, "First, do a skin test, and then give them all an injection."

A skin test is necessary before administering penicillin.

Although this thing is a panacea nowadays.

Most diseases caused by inflammation, such as colds, fevers, pneumonia, etc., can basically be cured with just one injection.

After all, people of this era did not have any resistance to penicillin.

Generally, a dose of 10 units is enough to achieve a very good effect, let alone a dose of 80 units.

But penicillin can cause allergies.

If an accident occurs due to allergies, the test will not be perfect.

The medical staff soon came to the bedside of the first volunteer with a tray.

The seriously injured man was now wrapped in bandages all over his body.

The dean said: "This soldier was severely burned by a flamethrower on the front line. Although we have treated it, inflammation is inevitable."

"If there's no effective medicine, he might not survive tonight."

After hearing this, the medical staff took out two needles.

For such a serious injury, only increasing the dosage can produce results as soon as possible.

After the two injections, the medical staff walked towards the second bed.

This soldier needs no introduction because he has lost his right leg.

"He stepped on a landmine. After being transported to us, he had already been infected and had a high fever. The wound had already begun to rot."

So the medical staff gave him two more injections.

In less than ten minutes, all five people received 12 injections of penicillin.

Fortunately, no allergic reactions occurred among these people.

Now we just have to wait for the penicillin to take effect.

However, the drug took effect much faster than expected.

In modern times, even if the drug resistance is very high, the fever will almost subside after taking a bottle of drip.

What's more, this is in this era without drug resistance, and it is a high dose of 80 units.

Even in modern times, 80 units is a commonly used dose.

As for those with a concentration of 10 units or even lower, they have been classified as veterinary drugs.

"It's gone. Before the penicillin injection, the temperature was 39.8 degrees Celsius. Now it's 38.2 degrees Celsius."

When a doctor picked up the thermometer and took a look, he exclaimed.

After hearing this, the dean and several doctors gathered around.

Even Speer glanced at it in surprise.

Less than ten minutes had passed since the injection, and the fever had already begun to subside? This was too outrageous, could it be a coincidence?

"How is that possible? Measure it again."

"Go check on the other wounded."

"Dean, his high fever has subsided and is now 37.9 degrees."

"The fever here has also gone down, 38.9 degrees!"

Among them, the most seriously burned patient had a body temperature above 39 degrees Celsius.

Although it has only dropped a little now, it is still considered a high fever.

But if it has dropped, it means the medicine has started to work.

Everyone was shocked by this fact.

If it was just a coincidence for one wounded person, the high fevers of the five wounded people all subsided within these ten minutes.

This also shows the horror of this penicillin.

This is not a miracle drug, it is simply a miracle drug.

After seeing all this, Speer couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How could penicillin have such miraculous effects?"

If all of this wasn't arranged by them, everyone would think it was a show.

These five seriously injured soldiers were all suffering from severe infections, and the one who was severely burned was already dying.

If it is a mild infection, it is still possible to overcome it with the help of drug treatment and one's own resistance.

But if it is a severe infection, it is basically a terminal illness in this era.

And in war, infection is all too common.

However, this severe infection, which seemed to be a terminal illness to them, improved in about ten minutes.

The high fevers of the five people improved to varying degrees in such a short period of time.

This seemed incredible to him.

He knew that penicillin was powerful, but it shouldn't be this powerful.

However, the facts were before his eyes, forcing him to accept this unacceptable fact.

The old dean also exclaimed in amazement: "This is indeed incredible. The efficacy of this penicillin is beyond our imagination."

"I didn't quite believe them when they said it was 80 units, but it seems to be true."

Duncans smiled and said, "Of course it's true. We at Umbrella Corporation have always been guided by integrity, especially in medicine. We don't fabricate data."

"Moreover, our penicillin is extracted using mature technology, and its efficacy is very stable and safe."

"Its efficacy may be beyond everyone's imagination."

A doctor said unconvincedly, "They have only reduced the fever a little bit. It is not certain whether they can achieve the desired effect."

Duncans chuckled and said, "Then we can only leave it to time. You will be able to see the results within a few hours."

Then he turned to Speer and said, "Mr. Minister, we have another business that we would like to discuss with you privately. I wonder if you are interested? It's about natural rubber."

Natural rubber was a big business that Li Jingrong discovered when he was trading with the Soviet Union.

This thing has always been in the hands of the Allies.

The main production areas are concentrated in tropical rainforest areas such as South America and Southeast Asia.

With the outbreak of war, the Third Reich lost its access to natural rubber.

The Third Reich, with its developed chemical industry, could only use synthetic rubber as a substitute.

But synthetic rubber requires the extraction of petroleum, which is also in short supply.

So when Duncans mentioned natural rubber, it immediately aroused Speer's interest.

"Do you have channels to smuggle natural rubber?"
