Chapter 15 Taking medicine does not kill people, is that still medicine?
This is a small step for Zhu Xianhai, but it is definitely a big step for mankind.
When Helen Pharmacy was established in Buenos Aires, it was just a very ordinary pharmacy, but soon its medicines would shock the whole world.
Of course, the most important thing is to apply for a patent.
The patent of "Li Qing" must be obtained, but there are more than one patent that can be applied for. After almost a month of study, Zhu Xianhai has a deeper understanding of the pharmaceutical industry in this era.
The so-called "Western medicine" is actually not only extremely primitive, but also barbaric. The European pharmaceutical industry, known as the "watershed between modern human medicine and classical medicine", is nothing more than extracting alkaloids from plants. The application is just oral administration. Some alkaloids are extremely unsatisfactory oral and are even harmful to the human body. They need further purification, synthesis and further processing, and can be made into injections.
But what about the needle?
Well, the syringe has just been invented, what is the purpose...
Even though Zhu Xianhai is not from a medical background, he is good at chemistry and has a solid theoretical knowledge base for alkaloid extraction. Those alkaloids that have not been taken orally can be further purified and then changed to injection injections. These are all ways to make money.
Among those alkaloids, salicylic acid is probably the most attractive. As early as 1828, pharmacists isolated and purified the active ingredient salicyside from the bark of willow trees. Because of its sour taste, people usually call it salicylic acid. However, salicylic acid was not successful as a drug. It has an extremely unpleasant taste and has a great stimulation to the stomach. Many patients even think that using it is more unbearable than the disease itself. But even so, it is still an extremely effective pain-relieving and antipyretic.
In 1897, the German chemist used salicylic acid and acetic anhydride to synthesize acetylsalicylic acid, which is the famous aspirin.
It is this seemingly inconspicuous white pill that was even called the "magic pill" that can cure all diseases in the following twenty years.
Of course, as we all know, in fact, they are all treating symptoms but not root causes, they are just to relieve pain, but this is also a benefit to all mankind.
With the two drugs "Li Qing" and aspirin, Zhu Xianhai believes that he will definitely make a fortune in this era.
No, his purpose of opening a pharmacy is not to make money, but to benefit mankind!
"Just relying on these two magical medicines, you can earn at least a few million pounds!"
Standing in front of the door of Helen Pharmacy, Zhu Xianhai stared at the sign and sighed.
In the future, our pharmacy will specialize in selling Troy Helen's "spiritual medicine". Although he has never studied medicine, Zhu Xianhai is not unfamiliar with the ways to make money from medicines.
The key is not to cure the disease, but to relieve the pain of patients. Not to mention in this ignorant era of medicine, even in the 21st century. Especially the painkiller that treats symptoms but does not cure the root cause and is very addictive, is very popular among patients. After all, too many patients have been tortured by chronic pain for a long time, especially in this era when capitalists are unscrupulous.
Now, what Zhu Xianhai has to do is to use his medicine to reduce the exploitation of European and American people by black-hearted capitalists and reduce their pain...
This is benefiting them!
If we don’t have to make millions of pounds by "Live Leisure", we will be sorry for those white-skinned people!
"Next year, when the American Civil War begins next year, it will be a big business for millions of people!"
Looking forward to a bright future, Zhu Xianhai felt proud in his heart.
Even if we haven't used the "system" these days, we have successfully opened up new businesses.
Just then, Buffett got off the carriage.
"Buffett, is the patent registration still going well?"
The process of registering a drug for patents is not complicated. You only need to submit the corresponding documents and pay a patent registration fee. Perhaps Buenos Aires is located in South America, but the corresponding legal system has been quite complete. Not only that, Argentina not only signed patent protection treaties with South American countries, but also with major countries such as the United States, France, and the German Federation. Patents registered in Argentina can be protected in most countries in the world. In fact, there were not many countries in this era. However, because the patent period protection period of each country is different, patents must be registered separately in each country in the future.
"Everything goes well. The Patent Office has confirmed that no one has registered a similar patent. They will soon approve our patent application."
Hearing Buffett's answer, Zhu Xianhai smiled.
"That's good. When the patent is released, the factory will be almost ready to start production."
"So fast!"
Buffett looked into the pharmacy. The so-called factory is a large laboratory, right behind the pharmacy.
This is true for pharmacies in these days. There are shops in front and “factories” behind. They produce and sell themselves. They do not exist any tests or approvals.
What if the medicine kills people?
Taking medicine will not kill anyone, is it still medicine?
Now, these medicines are just for white skins to take. Let them try the medicine with their bodies. Just treat it as a contribution to the development of human civilization!
"Nothing complicated, it's just a few sets of large equipment. The key is sales,"
Before Zhu Xianhai finished speaking, Buffett said.
"Sales are not a problem. Doctor Madland said that the whole of Buenos Aires is now saying that we are "relaxed" and that it is a magical medicine that can make people rejuvenate. Many people are rushing to buy our medicine. After a while, those people will definitely break our pharmacy."
What kind of doctor is the current doctor?
In this era when pain relief is a miraculous doctor, how could a small pill with magical effects not be popular with doctors?
"I can guarantee that by then, we will be able to earn at least tens of thousands of pesos. Every month!"
Looking at Buffett's excited look, Zhu Xianhai was too lazy to pay attention to him. This guy is too unaware of his ambition!
It was only 10,000 yuan to be satisfied. Our goal is the sea of stars...uh,
"Buffett, we must look at it a little longer, not to limit ourselves to Buenos Aires, we must look at Europe and the United States, where the market is broader..."
Chapter completed!
