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

After hearing this, Shui Yecao felt relieved. This was the best possible outcome.

If he could make money doing legitimate business, there would be no need for him to tinker with these prohibited things, adding unnecessary risks to himself and the trading company behind him.

Guns, ammunition and artillery are much more risky than cotton and medicine. Even if the latter are discovered, they can be explained and the people behind them can take action to resolve the trouble.

However, if a powerful weapon like the Type 92 infantry gun is involved, once a problem occurs, he can only be used as a scapegoat to calm the situation.

Although he wouldn't lose his life, he would definitely lose a large amount of money, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

"Mr. Iguchi, tell me what equipment you want. As long as we have it, we will definitely sell it to you at the lowest price."

"If you have any requests, please feel free to ask us. Believe in our strength and we will never let you down."

Kong Hao thought about it, put away his joking heart, and said seriously:

"I need a small glass factory that can produce all kinds of glassware."

After hearing this, Mizuno responded without thinking:

"That's no problem. I can ship a new production line from my home country. The price is quite affordable, only 100,000 dollars, but it will take a month."

After hearing this, Kong Hao shook his head and said in a serious tone:

"My client needs it urgently, and it will take at most three days. But as long as it is the equipment from the glass factory, it doesn't have to be the latest one."

In fact, Kong Hao had already asked people about it. There were many factories in Yangquan before, and this was also thanks to the contribution of Commander Yan.

However, since the Japanese came, in order to make way for their own products, many factories that failed to relocate in time were snatched away by the Japanese. The good equipment was taken over by Japanese businessmen. If the equipment was relatively backward, the Japanese did not like it and basically left it in the warehouse to gather dust.

At the same time, the items produced by Xiao Rizhu are sold to local people at high prices, just like blood-sucking leeches.

Kong Hao's purpose was these backward equipment. After all, the Eighth Route Army had no industry, and any machine was a treasure.

After hearing this, Shuyecao understood Kong Hao's intention. It turned out that he was a rag collector. This was easy to deal with, as he could just reuse the waste.

There used to be a lot of industries in Yangquan City, but the equipment was all produced in Europe and the United States. Most of them had a history of several decades and their performance had long failed to catch up with the international advanced level.

In addition, their country has its own industrial system, so these backward factory and mining equipment have become useless, tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.

Mizunocao carefully recalled the machinery and equipment that were originally placed in the warehouse, and immediately felt that this was a good business with great profits.

He could buy machines from the warehouse at the price of scrap metal, then exchange these machines for rare sulfa drugs, and finally ship them back to the country in exchange for a high price.

It feels great to eat from both ends and make a lot of money on both ends. He is truly a business genius.

"Mr. Jingguchi, we have several large warehouses in the east of the city. They are filled with some old machines that we seized before. I will go and retrieve the inventory of supplies. See if there is anything you need."

"If there is one you like, we can discuss the specific price in detail after confirmation."

Kong Hao thought this was not a bad idea. He came here originally to pick up junk, as long as it was machinery or equipment, it would be fine.

Although he can also redeem it through the system, the merit points are limited and must be used to redeem for key equipment.

Next, the two of them drank tea politely, and half an hour later, the warehouse material list was delivered.

Mizunoka handed over the list and said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Jingguchi, if you like the things above, the price is negotiable."

After Kong Hao took it, he looked at the five-page equipment list in his hand and felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.

It has only been 1860 years since the Westernization Movement began in 80. These machines and equipment are the industrial foundation that China has developed with great difficulty in modern times. Now they are thrown into the warehouse by the damn Japanese like garbage.

"My treasure is discarded by the enemy like a worn-out shoe. How sad!"

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. If you are beaten, you have to find a way to fight back. The most important thing for him now is to make more sticks.

Even if you can't defeat the enemy head-on, you can just use a stick to hit the enemy a few times when they aren't paying attention.

Even though Kong Hao wanted to get all of this back to the Arsenal, he couldn't be impatient or greedy now. This was the first transaction between the two parties and there was not much mutual trust at all.

"Mizuno-kun, I want the full set of equipment from this glass factory. The equipment from this hardware factory is also good, I want it too."

Next, Kong Hao flipped through a few other pages and found a suitable factory again.

"This coking plant is not bad. Our Shanxi Province is a major coal-producing province. As long as we open this plant, we will definitely make a lot of money."

Kong Hao saw equipment for a small steel plant on the list, but he did not choose it.

In wartime, steel is a strategic resource. If it is brought up rashly at this time, it will easily cause speculation from those with ulterior motives, so it is better to be careful.

Mizunocao carefully looked at the specific information of the three factories and quoted an extremely low price:

"These three factories need 80,000 yuan. Do you think this price is acceptable?"

Kong Hao nodded and responded with a smile:

"The price is acceptable, but I hope that these supplies can be transported to our designated location outside the city the day after tomorrow, and my people will be responsible for counting and receiving them."

"That's no problem. We are happy to serve you. Besides, this is a normal business transaction. The military won't interfere."

"Besides these equipment, what else do you want?"

At this time, Mizunogusa began to recommend other things. He hoped that Iguchi Saburo would buy as much as possible, so that he could make money on both sides.

In fact, the price he quoted for the machinery and equipment just now was a bit inflated. If his trading company were to come forward, these things together would only cost a maximum of 20,000 oceans.

But the person in front of him didn't even bargain. He was truly a generous and wealthy man, and the most favorite customer for businessmen like them.

In the creed of Osaka businessmen, whoever has money is the boss, and Kong Hao's current performance is probably like a grandfather in Mizuno Cao's heart.

As long as he can get enough benefits, it is not impossible to let him become the eldest grandson.

"Mizuno-kun, I also need drills, milling cutters, turning tools, reamers, and files of various specifications. I need 500 of each specification of drills, and 1000 of each of the rest."

"Remember, I want it to be made of the best steel and equipped with a few sets of special tools for sharpening knives."

The reason why Kong Hao bought these cutting tools was to process various mechanical parts. Now the arsenal is in short supply of such cutting tools.

The previous stocks had long been consumed, and the knives could not be sharpened casually like kitchen knives, they required special tools.

The most important thing is that after this kind of tool is scrapped, it can be used to produce firing pins for various firearms, which can play a huge role.
