Chapter 14: The First Step to Benefit Europe and America
Three days later at noon, Buffett took a carriage to Zhu Xianhai's residence with Dr. Madeleine.
They didn't know that just yesterday, a drug based on a certain alkaloid was finally successfully synthesized.
In fact, alkaloid extraction is just... at the level of a middle school student.
However, to a certain extent, Western medicine, which seems to be as unreliable as witchcraft in this era, started out by extracting alkaloids from herbs and plants. Of course, those alkaloids may not be able to cure all diseases, just like those who use morphine as a panacea these days, and it is also Western medicine that can cure all diseases. They even invented "drug addiction treatment" using morphine, which is really like a little cow entering the pen - it's really awesome.
"Mr. Zhu, are these the 'mighty miracle' medicines you mentioned?"
Looking at the glass test tube containing the light gray-brown lumps, Dr. Madeleine was full of confusion, while Buffett beside him had an expectant expression on his face.
"What do you mean by 'great strength brings about miracles'? Don't be so cliché. This is called 'standing relaxed'!"
Relax immediately, relax immediately...
Zhu Xianhai pointed to one of the test tubes and said,
"In fact, these are all alkaloids, just like salicylic acid, which is also extracted from willow bark. You should be familiar with this. They have different effects. Just like tea, it has a refreshing effect. If its alkaloids are extracted, its effect will be more obvious. It can not only reduce insomnia, but also improve concentration, increase self-confidence, and even reduce hunger and pain."
It is well known that tea can refresh the mind.
"Does tea have such an effect?"
"It's not just tea leaves, which are very expensive. It's mainly other plants. This is a compound plant alkaloid!"
Madeleine's eyes were full of suspicion.
As a doctor, he would of course be skeptical. After all, nowadays anyone would claim to have extracted a "magic pill".
But of course he knew very well that there was no panacea in the world.
"That's why I asked you to come here and test for yourself whether this drug is effective."
Looking at this guy who kills pigs on the street... no, performs surgery on people, who would have thought that he is actually a big shot among the doctors in Buenos Aires, the kind who studied in the British Empire. It is simply the most appropriate thing for him to endorse the new drug.
“This is a huge risk.”
Madeleine said with some difficulty.
risk?
Zhu Xianhai thought:
"I don't believe you!"
But after thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai directly took out his ultimate weapon!
"5% of the shares! You should know how much money you can make if a drug with this effect becomes popular around the world!"
"I think that researching new drugs is the unshirkable responsibility of every doctor!"
Madeleine immediately changed her attitude:
"But...how do I use this?"
Doctor Madeleine asked, looking at the gray-brown drug:
"Does it need to be mixed into wine as well?"
"No, no, mixing it into wine is too inconvenient. First, it's too heavy, and second, it's inconvenient to carry! An advantageous product should not only be easy to carry, but also easy to take. A successful businessman must first consider the customer's feelings."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Xianhai was stunned .
Is this...is this what I said?
Zhu Xianhai was even a little unsure.
We are good kids from the 21st century! Of course, we have to give priority to the feelings of our customers!
Customer is god.
Isn’t this what the decadent and corrupt capitalist system often says?
No, how can you treat patients as customers?
We are doing this to cure diseases and save lives, so we invite doctors to come and conduct experiments.
After praising himself deeply in his heart, Zhu Xianhai took out another box.
"Just like this, take it directly."
The box contained small dark-brown pills, which was the most common way of taking medicine in later generations. Concentration is the essence.
Of course, now Zhu Xianhai just prepared some according to the chemical knowledge he mastered. As for the effect, it depends on Dr. Madeleine's evaluation.
"Such a small piece?"
Taking the pills, Madeleine was eager to try.
"One pill at a time?"
“That should be about the same!”
After thinking about it, Zhu Xianhai said with some worry:
"I think you can start with half a tablet, after all..."
"Just one piece!"
Before he could finish, Dr. Madeleine swallowed a tablet.
"It's okay, I drink at least one bottle at a time!"
Just a dozen seconds after taking the pill, Madeleine's expression changed.
His face was flushed. Even his breathing became rapid.
"Doctor Madeleine!"
Looking at this scene in astonishment, Zhu Xianhai was dumbfounded. What was he doing?
"Oh my God! It's amazing! My legs don't hurt anymore. And I feel so energetic! I dare say that I am as strong as I was when I was 20 years old. This is definitely the best medicine..."
Is he experimenting?
Looking at Dr. Madeleine who looked a little strange, Zhu Xianhai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this guy was not poisoned to death.
My drug experiment was successful!
This is the first step to benefit the people of Europe and America!
Don't say it, this is really a benefit to the European and American people who are in dire straits. Although it can't make them forget their troubles, it can make them feel less oppressed by the black-hearted capitalists. For them who work more than ten hours a day, this is definitely a "panacea"! A magic medicine that benefits the American people!
In fact, the principle of this drug is very simple, which is to combine the effects of refreshing and analgesia. Well, it is similar to ibuprofen. In fact, it borrows the path of ibuprofen.
He didn't promote its sale at all. Not only is it a must-have medicine for every pharmacy and doctor, but it is also especially useful for workers who suffer from physical injuries and joint pains from long-term heavy labor, as its analgesic effect can mask the physical pain.
Although it cannot cure the root cause, it is good to treat the symptoms.
In the past, they could only endure it, but now they have a choice, they will definitely choose "Liqingsong". Such a drug is a panacea!
Take two tablets for headache, back pain, joint pain, and two tablets for cold and fever.
In this era, even the simplest ibuprofen is a panacea! Moreover, this is a compound one!
Of course, as a time traveler, he is doing good for the people of Europe and America. This is the responsibility and obligation of a time traveler. Offering this magical medicine to the people of Europe and America is only part of Zhu Xianhai's plan to make a fortune. If the market response is good, he also plans to launch a series of drugs including aspirin... After all, this is a wild era, so when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Of course, we have to be wild too!
Wild money making!
This kind of business...if I don't make tens of millions, it would be a shame for this time travel.
