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

Fujii made a lot of profits for the Osaka Merchant Corps from his transaction with Kong Hao, and the sulfa tablets he brought back accidentally saved the young son of a big shot in the merchant corps.

With the promotion of that big shot, Taro Fujii was appointed as the general manager of Taiyuan City Trading Company, and was promoted several levels at once.

But precisely because of this, many of his subordinates were dissatisfied.

Fujii really wants to make some achievements, preferably a big business to gain a firm foothold.

It’s a pity that his benefactor Kong Hao did not leave him any contact information, and since the last transaction was completed, he has been missing.

On the contrary, he did a big business with another shop owner, completely stealing his limelight.

If Kong Hao had not been very mysterious and had never made long-term deals with anyone, Fujii would almost think that his big money sponsor had been stolen by someone else.

Fortunately, I only traded with others once, but he did it twice. So, he is more reliable.

However, at this time he was entertaining Kazuo Iida, the president of Taiyuan Specie Bank, to discuss borrowing money to expand the scale of operations.

The Bank of China was the largest bank in China with abundant financial resources, making it his ideal partner.

It just so happened that the 4th Division was in Taiyuan supporting the Osaka merchants and strongly encouraging the economy. Fujita wanted to borrow a large sum of money from the bank to buy various industrial products from the local area and sell them to the Chinese people at low prices.

Only by improving the lives of the Chinese people can the city's economy be revitalized, so that more goods can be sold and greater profits can be obtained.

Fujii Taro said with a smile: "Ida-kun, what do you think of my suggestion just now?"

At this time, Lao Jingtian was not thinking about the loan. The main reason was that there were big problems with their bank accounts in the past year.

Some time ago, his family in his country was attacked by a mysterious force and suffered heavy losses. In order to save his family, he secretly embezzled 2 million yen that was deposited in the bank by overseas Chinese living in China.

Finally, the family's decline was stabilized, but it was impossible to get 2 million yen in a short period of time, which created a huge loophole.

If it was nothing like usual, he recently heard that the local headquarters would send a specialist to check the accounts next month. If it was found that the bank he was in charge of had a shortfall of 2 million yen, he would be in big trouble.

Generally, such bank parasites will eventually be dismissed, investigated and punished, and they will also be required to replenish the funds.

But Lao Jingtian's family simply cannot come up with so much money. Unless they sell all their property, their family will be completely ruined.

Moreover, Kazuo Iida, the branch president of the Specie Bank, was also a man of status, and all forces gave him some face to a certain extent, which was also very important to his family.

This time he came here specifically in the hope that Fujii, the upstart of the Osaka business group, could borrow more funds from the bank. The two of them could even work privately and claim part of the loan.

The specific operation is to let Fujii borrow one million yen from the bank, but actually only give him 500,000 yen. The remaining 500,000 yen is just counted as the bank's superficial account. When it comes to repaying the loan next year, only 500,000 yen will be repaid. He will even give an extra 10,000 yen as interest.

In this case, as long as we find a few more trustworthy people or forces, we can fill this hole completely.

Of course, this kind of thing requires some collateral, and it is also very troublesome to operate.

Fortunately, the Ida family and the Fujii family had business dealings before, so there is still some trust between them.

"Fujii-kun, I'm in a bit of trouble, I hope you can help me?"

Then he told Fujii about the matter.

Fujii thought about it for a moment and felt that it shouldn't be a big problem.

He was still clear about the details of the Jingtian family. They were just in temporary difficulties. Helping them at this time could be considered as doing a favor and making a small profit by the way. Why not do it?

Just as he was about to agree, an attendant pushed the door open and walked in.

At first Fujii was still very unhappy. After all, he was entertaining guests, and it was embarrassing for his attendants to come in and disturb him so tactlessly.

However, when he heard the news, his expression suddenly changed from unhappiness to surprise, and finally to ecstasy.

Old Jingtian had never seen such a colorful expression on a person's face. After the attendant left, he hurriedly asked:

"Fujii-kun, did something good happen to you?"

In fact, Fujii has figured it out during this period of time. The reason why Kong Hao chose to trade with others after trading with him twice was that he did not feel the huge power behind him.

At this time, if he wants to improve his status in Kong Hao's heart, he must show his network of contacts in a timely manner.

Because Fujii had already instructed that if he met a businessman who looked like Kong Hao and spoke with an Osaka accent, he should report to him immediately.

Just now, his attendant came to tell him that Mr. Iguchi, whom he had been looking for, had arrived at a branch of their trading company in Taiyuan.

This is simply a godsend. It looks like he is going to get rich again.

He said excitedly, "Mr. Jingtian, I was just the head of a trading company in a small county before. You should know this, right?"

After hearing this, Iida said seriously, "I heard that you got a batch of the latest sulfa tablets produced in Germany. The efficacy is amazing. This has become a legend in the industry."

"Now, sulfa tablets are no longer just priced as medicines. They are simply the best gifts. If you want to ask someone to do something for you, just give them a set and you will be successful."

"It's a pity that there are only a limited number of such good things. The family behind me tried their best but still couldn't get a set."

"Fujii-kun, I was just about to ask you if you have any extra sulfa tablets. Give me a set and I can pay you a high price."

After saying that, he looked at Fujii with expectant eyes, as if a big bad wolf was looking at a little white rabbit.

Fujii did not respond, but just said to himself:

"Actually, this is an import channel that I discovered accidentally. However, the other party is a mysterious traveling merchant, unlike us who are stationary merchants and have a fixed business location."

"The other party is usually elusive. Unless he takes the initiative to find me for a deal, it will be difficult to find his whereabouts."

"The imported sulfa tablets I have in hand have been almost used up. Recently, a large number of sulfa tablets have appeared in China. According to tests, the efficacy is exactly the same as the batch I have in hand."

"According to the owner Mizunokusa, those sulfa pills were also purchased by Iguchi-kun from him and used to offset the payment for the goods. Each pill cost four dollars."

After hearing this, Old Jingtian stood up in shock and said incoherently:

"As far as I know, at an auction, a set of the latest sulfa tablets, 100 pills, can be sold for up to three thousand dollars. This is almost an eight-fold difference in price, which is a huge profit, more profitable than selling arms."

"If you can obtain a large amount of sulfa tablets stably over a long period of time, you will become rich."

After hearing this, Fujii quickly corrected himself:

"It's not me who got rich, it's us who got rich."
