- In the eyes of many people, the early morning in Lianyungang is obviously different from other places. Every morning at 6:30, as the radio sounds, the bus stops on the street are crowded with people rushing to factories or companies. Employees going to work, and the array of bicycles on the streets show the difference of this city. //www.//s8 rapid update
Among the more than 200,000 citizens of Lianyungang, 60% of the labor force works directly in enterprises under the name of ** Company, and the other 20% work indirectly for ** Company. To a certain extent, this city is like Just like his establishment, everything belongs to the company. Of course, this is not all. There are also hundreds of companies established by investors of varying sizes here. However, most of the companies that can be counted in Lianyungang are corporate companies. This is , at least in the short term, cannot be changed.
As the manager of Yasin Pharmaceutical Company, Xiang Songmao is different from other business owners. He does not have his own transportation car or chartered car. He wears a suit and takes the bus most of the time. Although Yaxin Pharmacy is far from where he lives and requires two buses to reach it, it does not prevent him from taking the bus to work every day.
While waiting for the bus at the platform, Xiang Songmao looked to the left and right. There were people waiting for the bus near the platform. Most of the people wearing blue jackets were factory workers, and most of the people wearing suits or imitation military uniforms were company employees. , here, you can¡¯t see the robes you are used to in other cities at all. In fact, this may be the biggest difference in Lianyungang.
¡°It¡¯s not easy to get dressed after having your braids cut off!¡±
This may be a characteristic of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when China's political power was still after the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although some people advocated cutting braids, cutting braids was risky. After all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had the custom of "leaving hair without braids, without braids". The ancestral system of "beheading", and the pigtails have been violently imposed on the people since the Jiashen period, using the method of "leaving the head without leaving the hair, leaving the hair without leaving the hair". Those who obey will live, and those who rebel will die. The pigtails are becoming slavery. At the same time as the embodiment of a nation, it has become a habit in the process of easy development and easy service over hundreds of years.
After the rise of the military in Wuchang, cutting braids and changing clothes was a symbol of national restoration. In the open-minded southeastern provinces, people voluntarily cut off braids. In the northern provinces, they were resisted by ignorant people almost everywhere, and even in Shandong, Hebei and other places. This leads to a "braid-cutting murder case", in which the person with the braid shouts and kills the person without the braid.
Later, although braid cutting became the mainstream, "braid cutting is not easy to accept" has become a habit in various provinces in the country.
However, this habit was forcibly stopped in Lianyungang. From the day the ** company started to build the Longhai Railway, it began to provide uniforms to the workers. Gradually, this became a habit in Lianyungang and the entire Longhai, even in Longhai. Non-corporate enterprises investing along the route also provide uniforms to workers, and these uniforms are imitation "Japanese style" jackets, while they provide civilian employees with either suits or military-style clothing.
Under this premise, long robes and mandarin jackets will naturally be eliminated here, but the more important point is that long robes and mandarin jackets are not "popular" by people here, especially not by the company. Although the company did not say so clearly, but if If two people apply for jobs at the same time, one wears a suit or imitation military-style clothing, and the other wears a long robe and mandarin jacket, the company will choose the former rather than the latter. It is said that this has something to do with Li Zhiyuan. Li Zhiyuan does not like that kind of "slave" A richly colored robe and mandarin jacket.¡±
This may seem like a rumor to the outside world, but Xiang Songmao knows that this is not a rumor. When he first came to Lianyungang, he was wearing a mandarin jacket. Some friends in the company politely reminded him to take off his mandarin jacket. , because the chairman once saw employees wearing trousers and mandarin jackets in the company. Although he did not express any opinions at the time, he ended up chatting with others and said that those people who "cannot get dressed easily after cutting their braids" were "a group of people who are not enough slaves." bastard".
At first, Xiang Songmao didn't understand it very much, but later his friends explained that those people who "can't get into shape after cutting their braids" are really pathetic, because they cut off the braids on their heads, but they didn't cut off the braids in their hearts. Cutting off one's braids is just a matter of necessity. This is the tragedy of a person who is used to being a slave. It is the servility in his heart that allows him to keep the clothes of a slave even when his tail is cut off.
"If China wants to be strong and prosperous, the first thing it needs to do is get rid of the servility in its bones. Otherwise, even if China becomes rich and powerful, it will only become a slave of foreigners and then a slave of compatriots.
Although he did not consider himself a slave, Xiang Songmao finally chose to put on a suit and throw away the mandarin jacket. In the end, even the female relatives at home threw away the Manchu clothes according to the styles in the "Hanfu" journal published by the company. cheongsam.
However, in Xiang Songmao¡¯s eyes, what kind of clothes he wears is of no importance. For him, what is more important is the pharmaceutical factory!
To a large extent, Xiang Songmao never thinks of himself as a simple businessman. Like many national businessmen, Xiang Songmao does not come from a high background.expensive. Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang in 1880, he attended a private school when he was young and received traditional Confucian education. Later, due to his family's financial difficulties, he went to Suzhou to become an apprentice at the age of 14. Three years later, he started working. Because of his diligence and carefulness, he was assigned the position of accountant by his boss. Fifteen years ago, Xiang Songmao came to Shanghai Zhongying Pharmacy as an accountant after being introduced by his second uncle Wu Ziqin. In Zhongying Pharmacy, his talents were quickly appreciated by the general manager and he was transferred to the Hankou branch as manager. At this time, Xiang Songmao had already demonstrated his business talent and was elected as a director of the Hankou Chamber of Commerce.
??And Shanghai celebrity Huang Chujiu is an important guide for him. Huang Chujiu himself came up with a kind of "Ai Crying Brain Tonic" because morphine is added to the medicine, which makes it easy to get excited after drinking it. Huang also used the brand names of America's "Dr. Arrow" and "Strong Nation", and this medicine actually sold quite well. In the process of promoting "Aero Brain Replenishing Juice", Huang Chujiu met Xiang Songmao, a shrewd and capable businessman. At the invitation of this businessman, Xiang agreed to serve as the general manager of Shanghai Wuzhou Pharmacy, but on the condition that he be given complete autonomy.
Xiang Songmao¡¯s business characteristics are somewhat similar to Huang Chujiu¡¯s. They are both pioneering, dare to think and do, and attach great importance to the publicity effect of advertising. After he took office, he launched a reform, sold off the luxurious furnishings in the store, increased capital turnover, moved to a new location, changed the internal mechanism, and established the main distribution office, store retail department and wholesale sales department of the brand's drugs. On the one hand, we will expand the import of medicines, and on the other hand, we will develop self-made medicines. In addition to "artificial tap blood", there are also "Butian juice" to strengthen the stomach and tonify deficiency, "Haibo medicine" to clear the blood and detoxify, "Bark pills" to strengthen the brain and moisten the intestines, and "Biantian juice" to relieve phlegm and relieve cough. "Fragrant gum that helps the lungs breathe" and so on. Xiang Songmao's reforms, coupled with the advent of these patent medicines, greatly boosted the reputation of Wuzhou Pharmacy and doubled its profits.
Like Wuzhou Pharmacy, like Sino-French Pharmacy, after becoming famous in Shanghai, conflicts continued to arise among shareholders. It was at this time that Xiang Songmao's friends invited him to develop in Lianyungang. However, after Xiang Songmao inspected Lianyungang, he found that although there were many hospitals in Lianyungang, most of them contained foreign drugs. This made him feel painful that without a modern pharmaceutical industry, Even if they sell more of their own medicines, they are still just traditional pharmacies.
In the end, after weighing several times, he chose to accept the appointment of ** Company as the general manager of "Yaxin Pharmacy" after quitting Wuzhou Pharmacy. What mattered to him was that Yaxin Pharmacy was China's first truly modern pharmaceutical company. Pharmaceutical companies. As soon as Yaxin Pharmaceutical Company was put into production, the "Jiao'ao Incident" happened.
After the incident, he actively supported the anti-Japanese movement and served as a member of the Longhai Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Committee. At the same time, according to the instructions of the head office, he organized all employees in the company into an armed workers battalion and appointed himself as the battalion commander. He conducted strict training for employees and prescribed employees They trained for one hour after work. While actively preparing for war, they also accepted the task of the Economic and Strategic Envoy's Office to produce military medicines and personally supervised the production. They worked day and night to rush for medicines to supply urgent needs on the front line.
It can be said that it was from that time that Yaxin monopolized the supply of Western medicines in Longhai, and at the same time, with the help of the boycott of Japanese goods that took place after the incident, Yaxin Western medicines were sold throughout the country. Although Yaxin Pharmaceutical Company was only established a year ago Years ago, it has already developed into China's largest manufacturer of Western medicines and medical equipment, and its Western medicines and medical equipment are even exported abroad.
However, as the general manager of this company, Xiang Songmao does not have the style of a general manager of a "big company". Just like he takes the bus, and this is his style. In his opinion, instead of making a car that costs 4,000 yuan a piece, it is better to use 4,000 yuan to buy machines and produce more gauze.
After finally taking two buses and arriving at Yasin Pharma, Yasin Pharma didn't look very conspicuous. A two-story wooden temporary building in front of the factory is the headquarters of Yasin Pharma. But the heart of Yaxin is not here, but in the drug research institute between the factory and the office building. That is where the heart of Yaxin lies.
Standing by the window of the office and hanging the towel on the basin rack, Xiang Songmao looked towards the four-story fully enclosed pharmaceutical research institute. The best pharmacists in China gathered in that research institute. Many of them have studied medicine in Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
In the nearly one year since the establishment of Yasin Pharma, the research institute has developed more than 600 drugs based on foreign technical data. It can be said that it is the technical research of the institute that supports this company to become the largest Western medicine manufacturing company in Asia. , but deep in Xiang Songmao's heart, he dreams of turning this into the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturing enterprise.
"I wonder how Professor Ma is doing!"
Looking at the institute, Xiang Songmao thought of the host of the institute, Mark Duo, an overseas Chinese from Penang. As early as fifteen years ago, he went to Britain and Germany with the support of Mr. Luo Kaitai of Tai'an Pharmacy in Guangzhou. He studied medicine and had been studying in Europe for nearly ten years. However, in the eyes of the people at Tai'an Pharmacy, he was "muddled" in his studies, so that his mind was full of knowledge, but he didn't know how to adapt or save people.He said that he helped Tai'an Pharmacy develop a variety of medicines, but Tai'an had no intention of manufacturing Western medicine. Later, he was hired by the Guangzhou ** Branch as the host of the Yaxin Pharmacy Research Institute. However, a few days ago, he died due to a minor injury. Entered the hospital.
¡°Let¡¯s go see him this afternoon!¡±
Since two or three days ago, Marko's voice has become much deeper, and he feels tired even when talking, so when faced with the nurse's request, he did not argue much and stretched out his right arm.
But he still didn¡¯t understand why intravenous injections of glucose and vitamins were needed. Although to a certain extent, Marko knew that he was not a qualified doctor. When he was studying medicine in Britain and Germany, he focused more on medicine. One was because of the monopoly of foreign pharmacies, and the other was because China could not produce Western medicine, so Only he can focus on medicine. Unfortunately, Master Luo is not as far-sighted as Mr. Luo Kaitai and has no intention of engaging in the production of Western medicine. If not, why would he come to Lianyungang?
Looking at his left hand wrapped in gauze, Marko's expression became a little helpless. He just fell down while riding a bicycle and scratched his palm, but now the wound is infected. In the past few days, Mark Duo, who had only maintained his strength through intravenous drips, suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost his footing. He put on his robe and slippers and gently opened the door to the ward. Fortunately, there was no one on the corridor of the special ward. He looked at his ward, which was about ten meters away from the nurse's station.
Marko held on to the wall of the corridor and staggered. Finally, I walked to the nurse's station. There were only the head nurse and three nurses, but no doctors. He walked into the nurse's station without saying a word.
"Ouch! Professor Marko!"
A nurse screamed loudly, and the head nurse immediately rushed to Marko's side.
"Professor, are you feeling uncomfortable? Why did you come here? If you have any instructions, just ring the bell. Come and let me help you back to your room."
The head nurse and another nurse supported Marko.
"No, I want to see my medical records."
Hearing this, the head nurse was stunned.
"No way¡¡"
"What? No? You're talking to me like that!"
Mark was out of breath and angrily scolded the head nurse. He had always had a good impression of Longhai Railway, especially in this hospital when he saw the sentence "No matter what nationality you are, whether you have money or not, it doesn't matter who you are." No matter what your status, you have the right to receive treatment here." After reading the sign, I felt even more favorable towards this hospital.
¡°That is to say, even if a poor person comes for treatment, the hospital will not refuse treatment. Mark Duo had read in the newspaper that when citizens outside the Longhai-affiliated territory came to the hospitals along the Longhai Railway when they were sick, some of them would always be discharged privately after being cured. Anyway, they left false addresses, and they would not be there after they were discharged. No bills were received. Despite this, the hospitals along the route have never turned away any patients. However, the hospitals naturally have funds to pay these fees. In fact, according to the hospital's regulations, poor patients can receive free diagnosis and treatment. They only need to apply. That¡¯s it.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? These hospitals "obey" the rules too much. For example, patients have no right to view medical records. Even if he is a visiting doctor in this hospital, he has no right to view his own medical records without permission.
"Professor, you are a patient now, please go back to the ward and rest." The head nurse pleaded again, and stepped forward to help Marko, but Marko shook off her hand.
"This is the doctor's order! Take out the medical records! Why don't you take out the medical records?"
At this time, Macdonald¡¯s body, which was still barely strong, has now become much thinner. His cheeks are thin and his face is blue, but his sunken eyes are still shining with a strange light, and his ghostly figure is approaching the head nurse. The head nurse turned pale with fright and kept retreating.
"Quickly, take out the medical records!" Marko squeezed out the last bit of strength and yelled.
With slightly trembling hands, the head nurse took out the medical record from the cabinet and handed it to Marko. Mark Duo grabbed the medical record and opened it immediately.
After examination, it was found that the hand wound was infected by bacteria, and a variety of drug treatments were given. In view of the ineffectiveness of drugs and various treatment methods, comfort therapy was adopted
"Comfort therapy"
Marko read the medical records carefully, flipping through all possible pages quickly. Uneasiness and fear made his heart beat faster and his eardrums buzz. However, Marko could not find any inappropriate description. He then turned to the page with the injection prescription. He wanted to know what the doctor had just injected intravenously.
Injection prescription:
Glucose: c
Vitamin B 1: 200g
Vitamin B 2kkg
Vitamin C: 500mg
Sure enough, apart from vitamins, there is no other effective drug name. Marko is no stranger to vitamins, because although vitamins are from Poland??American scientist Casimir Funk published the theory of vitamins based on previous test results. He determined that there are four substances in natural food that can prevent and treat night blindness. These substances are called vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and vitamin D.
However, Yasin Pharma is the first pharmaceutical company to realize mass production of vitamins. The Chinese names of the four vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, and vitamin D. These names were given by Mark Duo. . Although the export of vitamins is now one of the company's most profitable products, Marko, who is familiar with its effects, knows that these vitamins have no effect on his symptoms and are just a comfort treatment.
"Nurse, I'm sorry to bother you."
Closing the medical records, Marko apologized to the nurse and was supported by the head nurse and the nurse back to the ward.
Lying on the hospital bed, looking at the lights on the roof, the coughs of other patients could be heard from time to time in the ward. There are no single beds in Longhai hospitals. All the wards here are double wards. This is a public welfare medical system. It was inevitable, but at this time, he no longer felt that the room was noisy. For him, he knew clearly that the doctor had no way to deal with his symptom-bacterial infection. As a doctor, he also knew that this was In fact, current medicine cannot treat bacterial infections at all. Once anyone is infected by bacteria, there is only one result, and that is to wait for death in despair.
The doctors here have given him as much treatment as possible. The industrial production of vitamins has allowed the doctors to give him a kind of comfort, and he will slowly die in comfort.
"No, I can't die!"
