Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

You should know that sulfa is the best anti-inflammatory drug on the market. However, due to problems with the production process and equipment in our country, the synthesized drug powder is not pure and has serious side effects.

Although for their front-line combat troops, between losing their lives and suffering side effects, they will definitely choose the latter.

But for those who are powerful, they will not hesitate to pay a high price to buy it even if the side effects are reduced by 10%.

The German goods that Fujii brought back immediately caused a sensation in the country, and many people came to buy them.

In fact, in the eyes of all the Japanese, things produced in Germany are the best.

In the past, we could still get some through connections, but as the war progressed, the amount of this top-level anti-inflammatory drug imported became less and less.

After all, the German army was also engaged in a massive war, with large numbers of casualties every day. All the production capacity of sulfa drugs could only be provided to its own army and would not be exported for a small amount of money.

Besides, the German army is currently rampaging across Europe, seizing countless gold, silver and treasures, so it has no shortage of money at all.

However, this has made the wealthy and powerful people who live a simple life feel helpless. They used to think they had the support of their allies and used imported sulfonamides without restraint. Now they have no choice but to use the garbage drugs synthesized domestically.

The senior executives of the company, which used to live a comfortable life, also negotiated with Germany, hoping to purchase the latest synthesis technology of sulfa to improve the quality of their own sulfa.

But Sandezi and his people are not stupid. How could such a good thing be leaked out, even to their allies?

The sulfa tablets provided by Kong Hao were provided by the system and their quality was better than those provided by Sandezi.

The people of the Osaka Merchant Group are indeed engaged in business for generations, and they are probably born with the calculating nature in their blood.

They auctioned these precious medicines in groups of 100 pills, with only groups auctioned each month, and the highest bidder won.

The sulfa tablets that Fujii bought from Kong Hao were 3 yuan a pill, and the prices at the auction ranged from 1000 yuan for the lowest group to 1500 yuan for the highest group.

There is no way. Everyone wants this thing, especially some rich people who are sick. They must use the best sulfonamide for safety.

Nowadays, living a simple life has become popular in China. If someone wants to ask someone to do something for him/her, just give a set of German-made sulfa drugs and everything will be done.

However, 100 sulfa pills can only treat one or two people at most. Rich people would definitely like to have more. Even if they are not useful for the time being, they will save them for future use.

This also led to the sulfa drugs provided by Kong Hao becoming a rare commodity, often with a price but no market.

It’s not that no one has asked Fujii about the source of these sulfa tablets, but Fujii has been in business for so many years that he must know the benefits of exclusivity, and he would never reveal a single word even if you kill him.

This was because Mizuno and Fujii were familiar with each other. Once when the two were drinking, Fujii was drunk and accidentally revealed some information about the supplier of sulfa tablets.

However, Osaka people pay the most attention to the business code. Whoever opens up the goods channel will rarely take the initiative to pry open the channel and start a price war unless the other party comes to them.

This is also the reason why Mizuno Cao was so excited after learning about Kong Hao's identity. This time it is finally the turn of his Mizuno family to get rich.

He asked excitedly, "Iguchi-kun, I'm honored that you can come to my shop."

"I heard from Fujii that you have some very effective sulfa tablets. I wonder if I would be honored to buy some."

"Please rest assured, I can offer a high price. Fujii's price is three dollars a pill, and I'll offer four."

Shui Yecao knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to have a good relationship with Kong Hao, he had to spend a lot of money to make Kong Hao tend to his side.

However, he just added a dollar to the original price in order to maximize his profits, which is a common tactic used by successful businessmen.

According to his understanding, this Iguchi Saburo should have been doing business in China and other places all year round. He has no roots in the country and is even unaware of the upper class's desire for this top-quality sulfa tablet.

"You're a bastard if you don't make money."

"Never let your opponent know your low reserve price!"

This is the creed of Osaka merchants. In his opinion, raising the price so much at once should be more sincere.

After hearing this, Kong Hao nodded, indicating that he was very satisfied with the price.

"Mizuno-kun, this depends on your ability. I came here this time to buy some special items. If I am satisfied, it is not impossible to pay with medicine."

Seeing that Kong Hao agreed, Mizuno first asked his trusted men to guard the door and not let anyone approach.

Then he came to Kong Hao and whispered in his ear:

"Please rest assured. Yangquan is a big city. My position in the Merchant Corps is one level higher than Fujii's, so my authority is naturally much greater."

"In addition to the regular supplies, we can also sell scrapped Type 38 rifles, scrapped Type 14 Nambu pistols, scrapped Type 92 light machine guns and scrapped Type 92 heavy machine guns. Of course, there are also a lot of bullets that don't fire."

At this point, he emphasized the words "scrapped" and "cannot be used", and coupled with his exaggerated expression, his purpose was self-evident.

After hearing this, Kong Hao said in surprise:

"The other guns are fine, why did you add the Nambu XIV pistol?"

"This kind of junk often gets stuck, and even our own troops dislike it. Who would want this kind of thing?"

Mizuno said with a smile: "The performance of this pistol is a little worse, but the source of the goods is wide, and no one will check it even if it is made. At most, I can give you a lower price."

At this time, Kong Hao thought of something and deliberately asked:

"Mizuno-kun, can you get the Type 92 infantry gun and shells?"

When Mizunoka heard the words "Type 92 Infantry Gun", his brows immediately wrinkled into the shape of a "川" character. This is really difficult to deal with.

This already falls into the category of tube artillery, which can destroy various artillery towers they built. It is a strictly controlled heavy weapon and is far from comparable to the firearms mentioned earlier.

Every artillery piece in the army is managed by a dedicated person. Even if it is scrapped, there will be someone specially assigned by the superior to supervise it, so it is difficult to replace it.

On the contrary, the source of the artillery shells is easier to find. As long as they report a few more shells during the exercise, no one will be able to find out.

However, there is still room for maneuver. As long as the money is in place, there is still a way to get some illegal Type 92 infantry guns.

For example, let your own artillery unit leave the city, let your own people disguise themselves as the Eighth Route Army to snatch them away, and then apply to the logistics department for replenishment.

However, the Eighth Route Army was too poor to afford weapons like the Type 92 infantry gun, and the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was equipped with a number of mountain guns, which they looked down upon.

Mizuno Suzuo said with difficulty: "It is not impossible to provide this Type 92 infantry gun, but it will take some time, and the price is also very expensive."

"Give me a week, and I can get two Type 92 infantry guns. Each one costs one thousand dollars. As for the related shells, they cost ten dollars each. I can get as many as you want."

Mizunocao's asking price was a bit too high, but it was a good opportunity for him to test the strength of the person in front of him.

Kong Hao was just joking, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him could actually get it.

However, he already had a merit system, so how could he look down on the expensive and poor quality junk from the Japanese?

"Mizuno-kun, I was just joking with you. I am an honest businessman. How could I possibly buy such prohibited items?"

"I like to resell some old equipment and various daily necessities. As long as the price is right, I can buy them."
