Chapter 121 Transaction
Until March 8th.
The Emerald Hotel in Yangon.
Xie Heping, head of BGI's commercial negotiation team, listened to his subordinates' urgent reports.
"The Zhiren Company sold a batch of ships for transporting methane, a large number of gas cylinders for storing methane, and equipment for building gas storage stations to the Qingye Group, with a total value of 500 million gold yuan."
"Then Zhiren Company used this money to purchase 300,000 boxes of rapid test strips produced by Qingye Group. The contract order was 150 million gold yuan. Another 200 million gold yuan was used to purchase glass bottles and glass products from Qingye Glass. The remaining 150 million gold yuan was kept as a reserve."
Then he talked about the transaction between Charoen Pokphand Group and Aoba Group.
After listening to this, Xie Heping frowned.
Obviously, the actions of Zhiren Company and Zhengda Company circumvented the problem that they did not have gold yuan and did not want to use gold as payment for goods, so they could only adopt the method of bartering goods, with gold yuan as the settlement currency for both parties.
Xie Heping could accept this, but the problem was that the two companies actually accepted a unit price of 500 per box of test strips, which obviously made other potential buyers embarrassed.
After changing to Huayuan, a box of test strips only costs more than 300 yuan.
But there are so many Chinese people!
But soon another bad news came.
Qingye Medical's test strip production line can only produce 500,000 boxes of test strips per month. Even if the production capacity is expanded now, it can only be increased to 1.5 million boxes per month at most.
In other words, except for the part that Hongsavadi kept for his own use, Zhiren Company and Zhengda Company almost cleared out Qingye Medical's inventory and part of its future production capacity.
This made many people even more anxious.
When you are anxious, you tend to compromise.
Knowing that he could not delay any longer, Xie Heping immediately went to Qingye Medical's Yangon branch.
He didn't bother to talk about feelings or argue with Tian Hemeng anymore, and directly placed an order for 1 million boxes, with a price of 500 gold yuan per box.
Chen Dayou, the special manager of Bank of China who came along, immediately took out the 500 million gold yuan that he had previously stored in Bank of China.
"Manager Tian, I hope to get the goods as soon as possible."
Tian Hemeng smiled and said, "Sure, I can arrange a plane to deliver it to Rongcheng Airport tomorrow. By the way, if you don't want to bother, Manager Xie, it's best to book in advance, otherwise it won't be so fast next time. This time I'm using the inventory."
"Thank you for the reminder. I will contact the domestic headquarters as soon as possible." Xie Heping smiled reluctantly.
This time, being strangled by the Aoba Group really made him feel a little aggrieved.
…
With the completion of three large orders.
Other companies or forces were also forced to accept this price and had to wait in line for delivery.
Instead, they have to pay gold or goods in advance through the contract.
For example, Samsung raised 500 million gold yuan by selling 50 10,000-ton transport ships to Aoba Group.
Kobayashi Pharmaceutical helped Aoba Group purchase a batch of medical equipment from Japan. Kobayashi Pharmaceutical did not lose money from this because they could make a profit from the difference.
Annan's medical company paid with motorcycles and iron ore.
Lan Xang and Cambodia agreed to allow Qingye Group to enter the local area for development and promised to provide protection for Qingye Group's local branch.
Companies in Malaysia and Java pay with palm oil.
Only Sing Tao and Hong Kong have no industrial products or local specialties, and can only use US dollars to grab the market share of Charoen Pokphand Group and Sapiens Group.
Through this transaction, Qingye Group earned 2.3 billion gold yuan in materials.
Some regions were even forced to increase their financial reserves to cope with the possibility of having to make secondary purchases from Aoba Group in the future.
Of course, they did not lose out on the reserve gold yuan. After all, it was real paper gold. If they did not need to go to Hongsawadi to purchase things, the worst that could happen was that they could just exchange it for gold and ship it back.
The value of the gold standard is reflected. At least people holding gold dollars do not have to worry too much about a sudden drop in the exchange rate.
Unless Hongsavadi is simply shameless and refuses to recognize the gold-yuan exchange agreement, doing so would be tantamount to suicide. He would be collectively hostile to other countries and might even be besieged.
However, the outside world did not know that the amount of gold stored in the Aoba Bank's vault had exceeded 300 tons, and was increasing at a rate of more than ten tons per month.
On the other hand, many people have overlooked one situation, that is, gold and yuan have other anchors, especially Qingye Group’s superior technological products, which will also force other countries to recognize the value of gold and yuan.
At least for now, rapid test strips are already a disguised form of anchor.
After all, a box of test strips is worth 500 gold yuan, which is equivalent to one gram of gold.
As long as Qingye Group's products are irreplaceable, the gold and silver will only become stronger and stronger.
…
Xie Bin hurried back to the Bangkok headquarters.
The specific AIDS drug he brought back has now entered clinical testing.
Not only was Charoen Pokphand's own scientific research team conducting experiments, but Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, which had cooperative relationships with Charoen Pokphand, also quickly mobilized their scientific research teams in Bangkok.
If the researchers are studying other drugs, it may not be easy to gather them in Siam, but there are quite a few who are studying AIDS.
Because Siam cooperates with these large international pharmaceutical companies and authorizes these companies to test new drugs in Siam. In exchange, the price of drugs they sell to Siam will be cheaper.
Therefore, in Bangkok, major pharmaceutical companies have set up a number of AIDS laboratories.
Inside Pfizer's Bangkok laboratory.
The drug research and development personnel who received Aiqingling were immediately divided into two groups, one group was responsible for drug component analysis, and the other group was responsible for drug effect testing.
Dr. Laura is in charge of the group that tests the drug's effectiveness.
She opened the simple medicine box, and inside were three rows of tin-sealed pills. The three rows of pills were of different colors, and it was obvious that they were three kinds of medicine.
When she opened the instruction manual, she frowned immediately because it was only in Burmese and Chinese.
"Bruce, come over here and translate for a moment."
Chinese researcher Bruce Du picked up the instruction manual: "How to use: The drug is a three-in-one combination therapy, one pill each time, with an interval of 8 hours between each dose... Contraindications: Do not drink alcohol or take antibiotics during medication, and do not use grapefruit, sword leaf orange, pomelo and their products..."
"One of each kind?"
"Yes, Doctor."
Laura adjusted the drug dosage according to the weight ratio of humans and mice, and fed the drug solution to the AIDS-infected mice.
At the same time, drug killing experiments in culture dishes were also carried out.
Under microscopic observation, she found that all three pills had a strong killing effect on HIV, and the killing speed was visible to the naked eye.
"What an amazing killing effect, it's a bit like antibiotics."
Other researchers agree.
The experiment lasted for four days, and the team responsible for analyzing the drug ingredients successfully analyzed the three core components of Ai Qingling through equipment such as mass spectrometers.
As soon as Dr. Laura received the analysis report, she discovered that these were three new organic substances whose molecular formulas were somewhat similar to streptomycin.
Before, she thought the other party was being mysterious, but now it seems that the three pills indeed contain three different drugs.
Bruce said thoughtfully, "This is a bit like cocktail therapy, except that the other party's drugs are very effective in killing viruses. I guess they designed the combination of three drugs to prevent the virus developing drug resistance and escaping."
"It's a remarkable invention." Dr. Laura also had to admit that Ai Qingling's effect was amazing.
