Penicilin.

It was the first class of antibiotics in the world, and it was widely used due to its wide practicality.

Even in the 21st century, it had been used in the medical field.

However, compared to later generations who developed resistance to antibiotics due to their frequent use of antibiotics, the effect of penicillin was significant for people who were exposed to antibiotics for the first time in this era.

It could even be called a divine effect.

Lu Yongxiang, who had been unconscious due to a high fever due to his wound infection, also woke up.

He also learned about what had happened during this period of time from He Fenglin.

"Cough cough, help me up."

Lu Yongxiang coughed dryly and sat down with his back against the wall with the help of Lu Xiaoya.

Although he was weak, his eyes were still as sharp as an eagle.

"Mr. Luo."

Lu Yongxiang spoke slowly. His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with the pressure of a superior." You saved my life, and I, Lu Yongxiang, am not a person who doesn't repay kindness. Although I'm not as good as Wu Peifu or Zhang Zuolin, I still have some say in this small area of Zhe Province.”

"So…"

As Lu Yongxiang spoke, he stared at Luo Wei." What do you want?”

"Father."

Lu Xiaoya called out softly, her expression somewhat dissatisfied.

"Don't worry."

Lu Yongxiang looked at his daughter and his eyes softened. He chuckled and said," I'm not an unreasonable person. I'm not trying to make things difficult for him.”

"Overseer, what do you think I lack?"

Luo Wei smiled and asked.

Lu Yongxiang looked at him deeply.

In life, power is the word.

Asking a person what he lacked?

It was either power or money.

It was either these two or both.

"Money?"

Without waiting for Lu Yongxiang's reply, Luo Wei asked," Do you know how much this penicillin is worth?”

"I don't know."

Lu Yongxiang shook his head calmly.

"Mr. Xue Peili."

Luo Wei looked at Xue Peili, who was wearing a white coat, and chuckled." What do you think?”

"A priceless treasure!"

Xue Peili spoke in unfluent Chinese, his tone fanatical." This drug is unheard of worldwide. Once it's filed for a patent and mass produced, its value will be immeasurable. And even if he sold the patent, it would fetch at least 40 million pounds, which was 400 million dollars!”

"400 million dollars?"

"What kind of joke is this?"

"This little thing is worth 400 million yuan?”

Lu Yongxiang's eyes widened, while Lu Xiaojia and He Fenglin's faces were filled with disbelief.

If this was said by Luo Wei, they would just take it as a boast.

However, this was said to a foreign doctor who was not related to him.

Although they were not like those who worshiped foreigners and regarded the words of foreigners as the truth.

However, as a foreigner from abroad, his words were quite credible.

However, this was 400 million yuan!

When the Qing court was destroyed, the annual revenue was only three hundred million taels of silver!

What the f * ck did he mean by being rich enough to rival a country?

This was what it meant to be rich enough to rival a country!

Immediately, the way the people in the ward looked at Rowe changed.

"Mr. Xue Peili, you think too highly of me.”

Luo Wei could feel the change in their emotions and sighed helplessly." What you said is the most ideal situation, but in fact, we can't mass-produce penicillin at the moment. I only have a few vials in my hands.”

"That's true."

Xue Peili nodded and confirmed his statement." This new drug is unheard of. It will be difficult to mass produce it for at least ten years.”

After a pause, Xue Peili said solemnly," But even so, it is still priceless!”

This was a medicine that could really save lives!

Even if it could not be mass-produced, it was definitely a priceless treasure for patients.

"We can't mass produce them."

He Fenglin and Lu Xiaojia couldn't help but feel disappointed.

If they couldn't be mass-produced, their value naturally wouldn't be that great.

"Then how much money do I have to spend on these?”

Lu Yongxiang frowned and asked in a deep voice.

He knew very well that not being able to mass produce did not mean that it was cheap.

The unit price of mass-produced items could only be lowered. If they could not be mass-produced, the unit price would probably be sky-high!

"At least four thousand pounds."

Before Luo Wei could speak, Xue Peili immediately said firmly.

"Four thousand pounds, that's forty thousand dollars!”

Lu Yongxiang's heart sank.

However, it was also an extremely shocking number.

He controlled Zhejiang Province, but his annual financial income was only ten million yuan.

Besides, he was not alone. Other than financial income, he also had various financial expenses.

Just the 70,000 soldiers under him alone would earn millions of dollars a year.

Not to mention the financial surplus, it was already a blessing that they did not have any foreign debts.

Otherwise, his daughter wouldn't hesitate to buy a watch that cost two thousand dollars.

Most importantly, Rowei had saved his life!

This favor was not just any ordinary favor!

"Overseer."

A smile appeared on Rowei's face as he said in a neutral tone," Since you've recovered, I'll take my leave."”

Lu Yongxiang glanced at him but did not reply.

Luo Wei didn't mind and turned to leave the ward.

"Father!"

Lu Xiaoya looked at the indifferent Lu Yongxiang and stomped her feet as she chased out of the room.

"Brother Luo, wait for me."

Lu Xiaoya caught up with Luo Wei in the corridor outside the ward and said guiltily," I'm sorry, Brother Luo. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."”

She was the one who invited him and even saved her father's life.

However, in the end, she was still ignored and made things difficult for them. This made the young girl feel even more apologetic.

"It's alright."

Luo Wei reached out and patted the girl's head. He smiled and said," I came to save your father because you begged me, not because he's the Overseer.”

"Brother Luo."

The young girl was delighted, but she still felt guilty.

However, she was very pleased with Rowei's words.

What could move a girl more than the words 'I'm doing this for you, not for your father's power'?

"What do you guys think?"

Lu Yongxiang said slowly in the ward.

"Father."

Lu Xiaojia whispered," Isn't it inappropriate for us to do this? After all, he is Xiao Ya's friend and your savior.”

"Bastard!"

Lu Yongxiang glared at him fiercely and said unhappily," Do you really think that your father is a heartless person who doesn't repay kindness?”

He had just been assassinated, and Luo Wei had coincidentally delivered medicine to his door to save his life.

And the key was that Rowei's identity was unknown.

How could he dare to casually express his stance?

"Overseer."

He Fenglin slowly said," I thought that since those people wanted to assassinate the Overseer, they would not send anyone to save you. This was completely unnecessary. Besides,"

He Fenglin paused and continued," I've checked Mr. Luo's identity. He came back from studying abroad and knows French. There should be no problem with his identity.”

"Is that so?"

He Fenglin pondered for two seconds and slowly said," In that case, we'll find an opportunity to apologize to him." Isn't it my birthday in half a month? Send someone to invite him over."
