Chapter 199: Good Things Come in Pairs

  After nearly three hours of discussion, a consensus was finally reached. Muyang holds 35% of the shares and is responsible for providing special medicines and dispatching two management personnel to join the company. The British government holds 35% of the shares and is responsible for purchasing a pharmaceutical factory, with management, workers, and sales all being their responsibility. In the end, the management of the company still fell into the hands of the British government.

  The British royal family, however, was in no hurry and eventually got 30% of the shares, what a relaxed and comfortable thing.

  However, Moye also gained something. He will become a fellow of the Royal Society of the United Kingdom, and the University of Cambridge will award him a graduation certificate and a doctoral diploma. In addition, the royal family will not be stingy with titles in the future, although this is just a promise that has not yet been fulfilled, after all, Moye does not have such great merit yet.

  Muyang expressed gratitude for this.

  "I truly wish to have an audience with His Majesty the King, to express my loyalty and sincerity." Murong said shamelessly.

  "I think His Majesty the King has already received your sincerity, you Williams family have always been the most loyal servants of the king, now with you, I think the Williams family is about to rise, bring me regards to your father, Baron Williams."

  Baron Bessemer said politely, of course, this is just a polite remark. As a baron who serves the king in person, he would not easily ask about a rural baron like him. This was just a superficial remark made to give Mu Yang face because he had received benefits. The British nobility is so hypocritical.

  The factory was ready-made, and the government directly took over a large pharmaceutical company. The current pharmaceutical factory still has the technology to produce pills, and Muyang had the workers make some simple modifications to those crude machines. Muyang didn't understand much about mechanics, but adding a few hoppers was easy.

  As for the possibility of the medicine powder being taken away for experimentation, Mu Yang is not worried. If they can research it out, that would be strange. At least with the current European scientific level, they cannot produce this thing, because many things in the current basic industry are non-existent.

  The feed warehouse is large enough, and one-time feeding can last for one to two months. To know that the manufactured tablets are mainly anti-inflammatory, antipyretic and antiviral drugs brought by Muyang, plus Chinese medicine decoction, and finally cornstarch. Western medicine only accounts for a few milligrams, Chinese medicine accounts for 3%, and the rest is all cornstarch.

  Elfu stared at the operation of the factory, now Elfu had completely become Moyang's younger brother, of course, Moyang gave him a salary that was not low, enough for him to become a respectable upper-class person.

  The British government is also relatively credible, and the proposal of Moyang, a fellow of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the UK, was quickly passed, and Moyang became the youngest fellow in the history of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the UK, which is a great honor. To know that the fellows of the Royal Academy of Sciences in the UK are all top figures in the whole of Britain and even the whole of Europe.

  And Muyang also added a layer of protection umbrella to protect himself, with the title of Academician, no one dared to touch him easily. Because the Royal Academy is directly protected by the British royal family, and Academicians are a group that receives attention and respect from everyone in both scientific circles and high society, even if they have many assets, they will not be envied.

  The University of Cambridge found out about Mu Yang's unfinished degree from the Cambridge Medical School and personally awarded him a graduation certificate. Moreover, due to Mu Yang's achievements in medicine, he was directly granted the title of Doctor of Medicine at the University of Cambridge and was invited to become a visiting professor at the university.

  The small pills produced are about the size of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan granules, and people who can take medicine can take them orally. Patients who cannot swallow can dissolve them in boiling water and administer them.

  A course of treatment is about 5 to 7 days, and many people who take the medicine have recovered. Now, Mujin's name is like an angel, passed down by people.

  But what makes Mu Yang even happier is that the factory is producing pills continuously, and his selling price is not cheap. Each pill is like a gold coin, and every single one of them is money. This accounts for about one-third of Mu Yang's income, and this autumn will be a big harvest for him.

  And TCM was recognized by people from all over the world for the first time, many people were amazed that TCM had such therapeutic effects, since then, many countries have started researching TCM.

  And China, as a major producer of traditional Chinese medicine, has also benefited greatly from this epidemic. At the very least, those medicines will become a source of income for many people.

  Traditional Chinese medicine made its first formal appearance in front of people around the world and was remembered by them.

  It was already autumn in 1918, and the influenza virus had been raging globally. A new miracle drug was developed, immediately attracting attention from around the world, and Joseph William's name was touted as a god in the medical community.

  The UK's most professional medical journal reported the whole process, especially Moyang's theory of virology and disinfection theory, which is a major discovery and a huge topic. Professionals are more concerned about his contribution to scientific discovery.

  Meanwhile, in the outside world, newspapers from various countries reported on the rampant influenza virus while a report that gave people hope was reported by newspapers around the world. That is, the Royal Academy of Sciences in the UK, with only 27-year-old academician Joseph Williams, a medical doctor at Cambridge University, invented an effective treatment for influenza, with a cure rate of over 70%.

  People seem to have seen hope, the hope of life. To know that now the whole world has fallen into panic over this plague, countries around the world are actively preventing and treating this flu virus, but with little effect.

  It is reported that over 1 million people in the UK are infected, 600,000 in the US, and more than 1.5 million in France, with Spain being the worst hit, where nearly 6 million people have been infected, plunging the whole world into flu panic.

  The King of Spain was also infected with the disease, and since Spain was the worst affected country with the highest number of infections, this flu epidemic was called the Spanish Flu.

  All countries around the world that have diplomatic relations with Britain have sent special envoys to negotiate the purchase of the drug. This is a lifesaving medicine, and no one is not concerned about it. The lowest level of personnel sent by these countries would be at the ambassadorial level, and many countries have even sent their foreign ministers or heads of state to negotiate directly. Even China, which was not severely affected, dispatched its then-Foreign Minister Lu Tseng-tsiang, accompanied by US Ambassador K.V.K. Hillier. Of course, there is another reason why Hillier came in person: his wife, Tang Baoyue, had also contracted the Spanish flu and was beyond medical help. When he heard that Britain had developed an effective cure for the disease, he wanted to get hold of the medicine as soon as possible to save his wife's life.

  It is not clear where the news came from, but Lu Zhengxiang and Gu Weijun learned that Miao Yuntai was very close to the Chinese people. During World War I, he even spent his own money to buy coffins and bury those Chinese workers, giving the two men an opportunity.

  And this time's meeting will be Muyang's first formal contact with diplomatic journey.

  Gu Weijun is a legendary figure, an indispensable person in the history of Chinese diplomacy. In the textbooks he studied at Waseda University, there was a detailed introduction to Gu Weijun, who was also one of the most admired diplomats in the Republic of China that Waseda appreciated.
