Homo sapiens.

Xie Heping, head of BGI's business negotiation team, listened to the urgent report from his subordinates.

"Homo sapiens sold a batch of methane transport ships to Aoba Group, as well as a large number of gas cylinders for storing methane, as well as equipment for building gas storage stations, with a total value of 5 million gold dollars."

"Then Homo sapiens used the gold dollars to purchase 30 boxes of rapid test strips produced by Aoba Group, with a contract order of 1.5 million gold dollars, and another 2 million gold dollars to purchase glass bottles and glass products from Aoba Glass , and the remaining 1.5 million gold dollars will be used as a reserve."

Then he talked about the transaction between Zhengda Company and Qingye Group.

Xie Heping frowned after listening.

Obviously, Homo sapiens and Chia Tai’s actions avoided the fact that they did not have gold dollars and did not want to use gold as payment for the goods, so they could only use the method of exchanging goods for goods, with gold dollars as the settlement currency for both parties.

Xie Heping can accept this, but the problem is that these two companies actually accepted the unit price of 500 for a box of test strips, which obviously embarrasses other interested purchasers.

Although after changing to Huayuan, a box of test strips only costs more than 300 yuan.

But there are so many people in China!

But soon another bad news came.

Aoba Medical's test strip production line can only produce 50 boxes of test strips per month. Even if the production capacity is expanded now, it can be increased to 150 million boxes a month at most.

That is to say, Homo Sapien and Chia Tai have almost emptied Aoba Medical’s inventory and part of its future production capacity, except for the part that Hong Sawadi himself kept for use.

This made many people even more anxious.

When you are in a hurry, it is easy to compromise.

Xie Heping, who knew that he could not drag on any longer, immediately went to the Yangon branch of Aoba Medical in person.

He didn't talk about feelings or wrangling with Tian Hemeng any more, he just placed an order for 100 million boxes, and the price was 500 gold dollars a box.

Chen Dayou, the special manager of the Bank of China who came over, immediately took out the 5 million gold dollars previously stored in the Bank of China.

"Manager Tian, ​​I hope to get the goods as soon as possible."

In this regard, Tian Hemeng smiled and said: "Yes, I can arrange a plane and send it to Rongcheng Airport tomorrow. By the way, if Manager Xie doesn't want to trouble you, you'd better make a reservation in advance, otherwise the next time will not be so fast. This time I will But call out the inventory."

"Thank you for the reminder, I will contact the domestic headquarters as soon as possible." Xie Heping smiled reluctantly.

This time being stuck by Qingye Group really made him feel a little aggrieved.

……

With the completion of three large orders successively.

Other companies or forces were also forced to accept this price, and had to wait in line for delivery.

Instead, they pass the contract and must pay for gold or goods in advance.

Samsung, for example, raised 50 million gold dollars by selling 5 [-]-ton transport ships to Qingye Group.

Kobayashi Pharmaceutical helped Aoba Group purchase a batch of medical equipment from Dongying, and Kobayashi Pharmaceutical did not lose money because they could make a profit from the price difference.

Annan's medical company paid with motorcycles and iron ore.

Lancang and Khmer agreed that Qingye Group would enter the local development, and promised to escort the local branch of Qingye Group.

Companies in Malaysia and Java pay with palm oil.

Only Sing Tao and Xiangjiang have no industrial products and local specialties, so they can only use a dollar to grab the shares of Chia Tai and Homo sapiens.

Through this transaction, Qingye Group earned 23 billion gold dollars in supplies.

Some regions were even forced to increase their gold dollar reserves to cope with possible secondary purchases from Qingye Group in the future.

Of course, they don't lose money in reserve gold dollars. After all, this is real paper gold. If they don't need to go to Hongshawadi to buy things at that time, it's a big deal to exchange it for gold and ship it back.

The value of the gold standard is reflected, at least others don't have to worry too much about a sudden plunge in the exchange rate when they hold gold dollars.

Unless Hong Shawadi is directly shameless and refuses to recognize the gold dollar exchange agreement, but doing so is tantamount to suicide, and will be collectively hostile by other countries, and may even be besieged.

However, the outside world does not know that the gold stored in the Qingye Bank's vault at this time has exceeded 300 tons, and it is increasing at a rate of more than ten tons per month.

On the other hand, many people also ignore the fact that the gold dollar has other anchors, especially the superior technology products of Qingye Group, which will also force other countries to recognize the value of the gold dollar.

At least for now, the quick test strip is already a disguised anchor.

After all, a box of test strips is worth 500 gold dollars, which is equivalent to one gram of gold.

As long as the products of Qingye Group are irreplaceable, the gold dollar will only become stronger and stronger.

……

Xie Bin hurried back to the headquarters in Bangkok.

And the specific AIDS drug he brought back has already entered clinical testing.

Not only Chia Tai's own scientific research team is doing experiments, but Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson, which have cooperative relations with Chia Tai, also quickly mobilized their scientific research teams in Bangkok.

If it is researchers who study other drugs, it may not be so easy to get together in Siam, but there are not a few researchers who study AIDS.

Because Siam cooperates with these large international pharmaceutical companies and licenses these pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs in Siam. In exchange, the drugs they sell to Siam will be cheaper.

Therefore, in Bangkok, major pharmaceutical companies have set up many AIDS laboratories.

Inside Pfizer's Bangkok laboratory.

The drug research and development personnel who received Ai Qingling were immediately divided into two groups, one group was responsible for the analysis of drug components, and the other group was responsible for drug effect testing.

Dr. Laura is in charge of the drug effect testing group.

She opened the simple medicine box, and inside were three rows of tin-sealed pills, and the three rows of pills were still of different colors, obviously these were three kinds of medicines.

When she opened the manual, she frowned immediately, because there were only Burmese and Chinese on it.

"Bruce, come here and translate."

Chinese researcher Bruce Du picked up the instruction manual: "Usage method: The drug is a three-in-one combination treatment, one tablet each time, with an interval of 8 hours...Medicine contraindications: Do not drink alcohol, take antibiotics, do not use grapefruit, Sword leaf orange, pomelo and its products..."

"One of a kind?"

"Yes, Doctor."

Laura adjusted the dose of the drug according to the weight ratio of the human and the mouse, and fed the drug solution to the AIDS-infected mice.

At the same time, the drug killing experiment of the petri dish was also carried out.

Under a microscope, she found that all three pills had a strong killing effect on HIV, but the killing speed was visible to the naked eye.

"It's amazing killing effect, which is a bit similar to antibiotics."

Other researchers strongly agree.

The experiment lasted for four days, and the team responsible for analyzing the ingredients of the drug also successfully analyzed the three core ingredients of Ai Qingling through mass spectrometer and other equipment.

As soon as Dr. Laura got the analysis report, she found that these were three brand-new organic substances, and the molecular formula was somewhat similar to streptomycin.

Before, she thought that the other party was playing tricks, but now it seems that the three pills are indeed three different medicines.

Bruce said thoughtfully: "This is a bit similar to cocktail therapy, except that the other party's drug killing effect is very thorough. It is estimated that the other party designed a combination of three drugs to prevent the virus from developing drug resistance and escaping."

"A very remarkable invention." Dr. Laura also had to admit that Ai Qingling's effect was amazing.

Chapter 122

Unlike Dr. Laura's neutral position, Bill, who is in charge of the laboratory at this time, has a very bad expression.

After all, their laboratory is a scientific research institution that develops a cure for AIDS, and it is also a laboratory of a commercial company. This kind of laboratory is the most realistic.

Ao Qingling launched by Aoba Medical is simply ruining their jobs. It would be strange if he could still be happy.

Holding the several reports in his hand, Bill's face was cloudy and uncertain.

Although Ai Qingling has relatively serious side effects, he can't stand the fact that this medicine can cure AIDS, instead of taking medicine for a lifetime to control it.

In fact, many pharmaceutical companies do not like to develop radical drugs, but prefer to develop relieving drugs.

The reason is self-evident.

That is to make money.

Aoba Medical also has relieving drugs, but after discussions with Ma Chi, Liu Zhifan and others, they still feel that it is necessary to introduce radical drugs.

There are three purposes:

The first purpose is to quickly obtain funds and strengthen the stability of the gold dollar; the second purpose is to quickly get out of the circle so that Qingye Medical can make a name for itself; the third purpose is to form a strong influence on other pharmaceutical companies. Technical advantages.

Regardless of the fact that Aoba Medical has acquired a large number of medical supplies companies and drug manufacturers in Hongshawadi, the scale is not small, but its reputation is limited to Hongshawadi.

The launch of new test strips, Ai Qingling, and Rabid Buster this time is to open up the market and fame.

Drugs for relieving AIDS are produced by major companies in Europe and the United States. On this track, even if Qingye Medical develops safer and cheaper drugs, it will not be able to gain market access in Europe and the United States. At most, it can compete with Tianzhu generic drug companies Go to the market.

Therefore, Ma Chi and Liu Zhifan chose to change the track. Your European and American pharmaceutical companies drive gasoline cars, while I directly play airplanes.

Now Bill can see the sinister intentions of Aoba Medical.

European and American pharmaceutical companies can lobby countries to prevent Qingye Medical's drugs from entering their markets, but for some regions, they have no way to completely control them.

Like Siam.

The other party was next to Hong Sawadi. Even if someone in Siam had his head flooded and Aoba Medical’s medicines were prohibited from entering, it would not be able to stand up to smuggling by the people, or patients would go directly to Hong Sawadi to buy them.

With the custom of wearing gold and silver in various parts of the Indochina Peninsula, even if patients do not have gold dollars, they can directly use gold to buy medicines.

……

Sure enough, when Chia Tai announced that there was a drug that could cure AIDS for sale.

In Chia Tai’s pharmacies across Siam, the less than 50 boxes of Ai Qingling were quickly cleared of the price. Even if the retail price was as high as 15 baht (equivalent to [-] gold dollars) per box, it still did not stop the enthusiasm of the market. .

In Bangkok's underground black market.

On the top floor of a small bar, the boss of a gangster with colorful tattoos all over his body, with his legs crossed and a cigarette in his mouth: "Huh...Aaron, how many boxes did you take?"

"I received 12 boxes, and now the price has risen to about 70." The younger brother Aaron quickly replied.

The boss threw the cigarette butt into the milk tea cup: "Shipping the goods as soon as possible, don't drop them in your hands. It is estimated that the Xie family will increase the number of imports soon."

The man in a suit who was eating fried noodles wiped his mouth: "Brother, don't stare at this small business in Bangkok, we should find a way to contact people from Khmer, Annan, and Malaysia, and then clear the domestic Ai Sell ​​it, after all, these places have not approved the import of Ai Qingling."

"Eh? Brother, you've got a quick brain." The boss felt that the business was profitable.

The man in the suit also reminded: "Don't forget that the retail price of Hongshawadi is only 5 gold dollars, and the cost price of Xie's imports is definitely not high. If we can get on the line of Qingye Group, maybe we can get one Cheaper price."

"But Xie has obtained the exclusive agency right." The boss was a little worried.

The man in the suit shrugged: "His exclusive agency is only in Siam, not other regions. We can definitely contact the Golden Triangle, take the Mekong River, enter Lancang, and Khmer."

The boss, who was thirsty from the huge profits, immediately dispatched troops and began to arrange for the smuggling of Ai Qingling.

After all, this drug is not flour, so the risk is much smaller.

……

And Zhengda Company saw the sales of Ai Qingling, and a thousand boxes of Ai Qingling brought them a profit of [-] million baht, so they didn't care what they were doing.

Xie Bin, who hadn't rested for a few days, flew to Yangon in a hurry.

After quickly passing the comprehensive security check at Yangon Airport, Xie Bin went straight to the office building of Qingye Medical.

"It's a great honor to see Ms. Tian again."

Tian Hemeng probably already guessed the intention of the other party's visit, and replied with a smile: "Let's be direct! If you need to speak directly."

"This time, I came here to purchase another 1 boxes of Ai Qingling and 100 boxes of Rabid Buster from your company on behalf of Zhengda Company."

"Okay, but 1 boxes of Ai Qingling need to be queued for a while. Let me check the schedule..." Tian Hemeng flipped through her notebook.

"Our company can only produce 5 boxes per month at the maximum capacity, except for the part used by ourselves. Recently, the Homo sapiens company in Luzon purchased 1 boxes. You can only wait until next month."

Xie Bin has no opinion on this. After all, it is impossible for pharmaceutical companies to expand the production line capacity without limit, especially for such a radical drug. The sudden production of a large number will not only destroy the market, but also lead to the rapid decommissioning of the production line in the end.

Based on the calculation of more than 3000 million HIV-infected people in the world, plus some who conceal or do not know their infection, it is estimated that the potential consumer group will reach about 4000 million.

According to the production speed of tens of thousands of boxes per month, it will take about 800 months for Qingye Medical to meet the needs of the global market.

Of course, this is a predictive model in an ideal state.

In fact, the ex-factory price and retail price of Ai Qingling are obviously on the high side, and some patients cannot afford it at all.

Therefore, Qingye Medical maintains a monthly supply of tens of thousands of boxes, and Xie Bin is very satisfied.

After all, scarcity is the most expensive thing. If millions of boxes are produced at once, the market price will definitely plummet at that time, and the gains outweigh the losses.

As a qualified businessman, he would not do such a thing.
