During the First World War, antibiotics had not yet been invented. This bactericidal drug, which was extremely common in the medical system of later generations, was still far away from its appearance at this time.

In 1928, Fleming, a bacteriologist from the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets, accidentally discovered the world's first antibiotic, penicillin, during an experiment. However, this discovery was not taken seriously, and Fleming failed to extract penicillin. , so I don't know the medical value of this kind of thing.

Ten years later, in 1938, the German chemist Ernst Chain saw Fleming's paper in a pile of old books, and began to do purification experiments in the laboratory.

After two years of experiments, penicillin was finally extracted in 1940 and the corresponding streptococci experiment was conducted. This experiment proved the value of penicillin, which is something that can fight and kill bacteria!

This discovery shocked the world. Everyone knew what drugs that could fight bacteria meant. Moreover, it was the Second World War, and the large number of wounded in the war had a huge demand for medicines!

As a result, scientists from various countries began to join in the purification experiments of penicillin. Finally, it was not until 1943 that large-scale extraction of high-purity penicillin became a reality. As a result, penicillin began to enter the human medical field and played an important role in human beings' fight against diseases!

Under the eyes of everyone, in the last month of 1919, Johnson & Johnson launched two products, one called Bondi Band-Aid and the other called penicillin antibiotic, also known as penicillin.

These two products immediately caused a sensation in North America as soon as they came out, especially the latter. After testing by medical experts, this product can effectively kill various disease-causing bacteria, including the influenza virus!

Moreover, patients who are currently suffering from the disease immediately improve their condition after taking this special medicine. After a course of treatment, 99% of the diseases are recovered!

As soon as this news came out, it was immediately reported by major media. People were looking forward to this special medicine just like looking for the stars and the moon. Today, they finally got this special medicine!

At this time, Johnson & Johnson announced this epoch-making drug more than 20 years in advance, which would have an impact on countries around the world no less than a nuclear bomb!

Health is a major issue related to all mankind. No one can guarantee that he will not get sick for his whole life, so everyone hopes to get better treatment when they are sick, so that they can save their lives and recover as soon as possible.

Penicillin from Johnson & Johnson undoubtedly has such magic power!

As a result, people began to flock to Johnson & Johnson pharmacies to buy the drug.

But someone is moving faster than them: governments.

In the World War I that just ended, all countries suffered huge casualties. At this time, there were millions or even millions of wounded soldiers in each country waiting for treatment, so all countries were in extremely urgent need.

Therefore, the first batch of Johnson & Johnson was snapped up as soon as it was sold!

Things are rare and valuable, and the more unavailable something is, the more it proves its value!

Affected by this, Johnson & Johnson's stock rose rapidly by 000% in just one month, and its market value rose rapidly from less than US$200 in 1918 to US$120 million in 1920, becoming the biopharmaceutical company with the highest market value in North America!

People in North America regard Johnson & Johnson as the pride of their country, because the penicillin brought by Johnson & Johnson not only brings hope to the fight against infection, but also brings hope to the whole world. This has improved the international image of Eagle Sauce. many!

The eagle sauce in 1920 was at a stage when the country was developing rapidly, its national power was rapidly increasing, its global status was steadily improving, and the people's national pride was growing day by day.

However, the copycat and plagiarism incidents in the past few decades have made Eagle Sauce have a very bad image in the minds of all countries in the world.

European countries have ridiculed Eagle Sauce for only copycats and plagiarism.

Whenever there is a new technology in Europe, it must be Before long, it will be stolen and copied by the shameless Yingjiang people.

Not only that, they will also apply for a patent for their pirated and copycat technology in Yingjiang's own country, licking their faces and saying that this is They invented it themselves!

This behavior naturally aroused the contempt of established European countries, so Yingjiang and Yingjiang products have always been synonymous with fake and shoddy products in Europe.

This kind of contemptuous attitude is naturally unacceptable to Yingjiang, which is full of national self-confidence. Therefore, the whole Yingjiang is looking forward to some epoch-making products in their own homes that only they have but not in Europe, because only in this way can they Only by proving their strength can they wash away the reputation of copycats and piracy!

At this time, the penicillin launched by Johnson & Johnson perfectly met or even exceeded their requirements!

The Yingjiang people never dreamed that one day they would become heroes who save the world. This made their national self-confidence quickly explode, and their love and support for Johnson & Johnson, the pride of their country, also reached its peak!

Although the price of penicillin announced by Johnson & Johnson is very expensive, reaching a sky-high price of US$20 for 10,000 units, a bottle of 200,000 units of penicillin costs US$400!

But for ordinary people in Yingjiang, whose annual income has reached 4,000 US dollars, spending one-tenth of their annual income in exchange for a life is not a loss in any way. After all, you only have one life, and as long as you live, you can continue to make money..

The economy of North America has entered the fast lane of rapid development at this time. There are many job opportunities in the society and almost everyone can make money. Therefore, no one is worried about the future at all. Therefore, not only do they not have any concerns about this expensive drug, Resistance has become a fashionable pursuit.

According to the mayor of Gotham, people who can live in Gotham, the best city in the world with every inch of land and every inch of land, should be the elite of the entire country. If they can't even afford a bottle of penicillin worth 400 US dollars, , then you are not qualified to live in Gotham!

This kind of discriminatory remarks against low-income people not only did not attract people's protest, but was also regarded as a wise saying and highly respected. As a result, penicillin quickly became a symbol of status, and no one wanted to be said They can't afford penicillin, because that means they are looked down upon!

Therefore, once Johnson & Johnson's penicillin was launched, it became extremely popular and was even out of stock for a long time!

People in North America don't know that although Johnson & Johnson, which they are proud of, is a company established in North America, the equity of this company is now completely in the hands of the Hans people. As early as half a year ago, Johnson & Johnson and More than a dozen companies, including Monsanto and Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, have been included in Mainz's acquisition list!

Vanegal, who stayed in North America, used the money he earned from General Motors Group to carry out Mainz's orders to the letter. It took half a year to acquire all these companies at low prices!

At this time, Johnson & Johnson is actually a Hans company!
