ps: Please give me a try, thank you.

The synthesis of sulfonamide drugs is simple, but large-scale extraction and production is another matter. Fortunately, Hua Shi was rich and quickly recruited some professional talents to handle large-scale production.

For an emerging drug, approval and promotion are both big problems. Of course, this is for ordinary people, and it is not a problem at all for Hua Twelve’s current identity and background.

His father-in-law is a nobleman on whom the sun never sets, and is also the governor of the colonial Fiji Islands. He is not only a senior official in the Hong Kong Island Police Force, but also a knight awarded by the Queen.

With this background, those troubles for ordinary people were not problems at all for Hua Twelve, so he sent a telegram to Lao Mei in Fiji for help.

After Lao Mei received the telegram, she sent telegrams to her aristocratic friends and some dignitaries and high-ranking officials. Then, during Hua Twelve's stay, all matters related to drug patents were settled smoothly.

I won’t mention the intermediate procedures. In short, sulfonamide quickly caused a sensation as soon as it was introduced. While it quickly became popular all over the world, it also brought astonishing wealth to Hua Twelve and the Mei family.

Such wealth will inevitably attract other people to covet it. After a while, even Lao Mei, who was the governor of Fiji, felt the pressure from his ancestral family.

At first, he didn't know what his cheap son-in-law was doing in building a pharmaceutical factory, but when he learned about the amazing profits and potential benefits of the pharmaceutical factory from others, even though Lao Mei was already the governor, he couldn't help but eat it.

Startled.

After Lao Mei simply communicated with Hua Twelve, he made the decision for his son-in-law and gave 30% of the profits from the London Pharmaceutical Factory to the royal family and the powerful nobles and senior officials.

The binding of interests also makes the Mei family's position in the ancestral family more stable.

Of course, these are all things later. After Hua Twelve was busy with the construction of the factory, he left with Liu Yubai until the sun set, leaving only Zhuo Yifei, who knew English, to handle the factory affairs for him here.

The reason why he left so quickly was not because he missed home, but because the air in London in this era was simply terrible. The rapid development of industry also brought serious air pollution. In addition, most Londoners in this era used coal for household appliances.

Fuel also produces a lot of smoke and harmful gases.

These gases filled the entire city of London, making the city a famous smog city. Hua Twelve and Liu Yubai practiced Taoist breathing skills every day. They made them want to vomit in the past two days, so they left as soon as they were done.

, to avoid poisoning.

As for Zhuo Yifei, the fat man, it was not because Hua Twelve was cruel as his master, but mainly because the fat man never left his hand with cigars for the sake of style after he got rich. If he was left in London, it was uncertain who would poison whom.

Letting him stay in London to take care of the pharmaceutical factory is definitely fighting fire with fire. Even if it doesn't have this effect, it can always add to the reputation of the foggy city.

Hua Twelve plans to wait until the pharmaceutical factory is on track before transferring Zhuo Yifei back to him. After all, he is his apprentice and confidant. In the future, his career will inevitably be huge, and he will need the help of people close to him to take care of everything.

Those apprentices are the best candidates.

After leaving The Sun Never Sets, Hua Twelve did not return to Hong Kong Island, but took Liu Yubai on a trip to the United States. With his status as a nobleman who never sets in the United States, he was welcomed wherever he went in the United States in 1907.

The presence.

In fact, the United States at this time had little to see, and Hua Twelve’s main goal was to expand its business territory.

In April 1906, two months before Hua Twelve entered this world last year, a major earthquake occurred in San Francisco that could be recorded in history, causing land prices in San Francisco and surrounding areas to plummet.

During his visit to the United States, Hua Twelve established his own business team and lawyer team in the United States, and through his lawyers purchased a large amount of land in the Sacramento Valley east of San Francisco at cabbage prices.

Before he entered the mission world, the information he memorized by rote indicated that there was the second largest oil field in California under this land.

After buying the land, Hua Twelve asked his team of lawyers to acquire an oil exploration company that was on the verge of bankruptcy, then invested money and asked the company to conduct oil exploration on the land he bought according to the coordinates he had written down.

For this reason, Hua Twelve almost emptied his pockets. At this time, Sulfonamide had not yet begun to make a profit. Fortunately, after he sent a telegram asking for help to Lizhenna's wife in Hong Kong Island, he successfully grew up and got a wife from the Mei family.

Financial assistance.

The housekeeper of the Mei family's old house in London came over by boat from sunset to deliver money to him, and stayed to help with some business matters.

Hua Twelve had to sigh, finding a good wife is so delicious.

The exploration company had the precise location provided by Hua Twelve. When the drilling depth reached 8,600 feet, black gold spurted out.

After evaluation, this oil field is worth more than 200 million US dollars in this era.

Hua Twelve instantly became an American oil tycoon.

That night, they opened champagne to celebrate, and sent the good news via telegram to Lizhenna who was far away in Hong Kong Island. As a result, this silly girl was so happy that she took little Nianci and jumped up and down at home.

Stable, he was sent to the hospital overnight to nurse the fetus.

After receiving the news, Lao Mei continued to send telegrams to the United States to press charges after Lizhenna was discharged from the hospital.

You see, my girl is already married to you, and you are still married for the second time. I will give you a promotion, provide political resources and connections to help you open a pharmaceutical factory, and provide money to help you develop oil wells. You are marrying my daughter.

It doesn’t make sense for me to go to the hospital. Are you worthy of me?

Lao Mei's telegrams were sent out every day, repeating these words over and over again. Hua Twelve couldn't stand him anymore, so he relented and agreed to give the Mei family 20% of the shares in the newly discovered oil fields.

Lao Mei sent a telegram again, praising him for being a good son-in-law, and saying that her love for him was not in vain, which made Hua Twelve feel a chill.

Of course, Lao Mei also said that at such an old age, how can I still eat and drink as much as I want? Aren't these assets prepared for you and your young couple?

Hua Twelve generously said that you can spend as much as you want, and this will be regarded as Li Zhenna's filial piety to you two elders.

Even with the financial support of the Mei family in the United States, Hua Twelve is still somewhat strapped for funds, and his acquisition goal of coming to the United States this time has not yet been achieved.

So he thought about it and used the oil field as collateral to ask his steward to borrow five million dollars from the bank. His target was a very huge piece of land in northern Alaska.

On March 30, 1867, the United States purchased nearly 1.7 million square kilometers of Alaska from Polar Bear for US$7 million plus US$200,000 in fees, with an average soil value of only two cents per acre.

Through a team of lawyers, Hua Twelve turned 160,000 square kilometers of land in northern Alaska into his private property for a price of three million US dollars.

This is the famous North Slope of Alaska.

There are 1.33 billion tons of oil and 728 billion cubic meters of natural gas stored here. Of course, these have not yet been discovered in this era, so they are all cheaper than Hua Twelve.

However, Hua Twelve was not in a hurry to start construction on this land in Alaska. Anyway, the oil fields and sulfonamide drugs near San Francisco were enough to bring him hundreds of millions of wealth, so he just occupied this land first.

Having accomplished the goal of this trip, Hua Twelve left his old butler in the United States to help him manage the oil fields. He took Liu Yubai back to Hong Kong Island by boat.
