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

When Iida Kazuo saw that Kong Hao agreed to buy the old equipment, he hurriedly said:

"I know a person in charge of a chemical company. Due to poor management, the company has suffered a lot of losses and is now selling all kinds of equipment at low prices."

"Because this company owes our bank a lot of money, our bank can get this batch of equipment at a low price and then resell it to you at a fair price."

"This batch of equipment not only produces caustic soda (NaOH), but also soda ash (Na?CO?) and hydrochloric acid (HCL). The output is not small and can fully meet your requirements."

"All these equipment together only cost one hundred thousand dollars. What do you think?"

"Of course, if you also want strong acid equipment, this is more troublesome. After all, this is an item controlled by the military. It will take a long time to get the equipment. In addition, the price is also very expensive."

After all, concentrated sulfuric acid and concentrated nitric acid can be used to make high-performance explosives. No matter how stupid the Japanese are, they will impose strict controls. It's okay for a small amount of finished products, but the machinery and equipment will be a big problem.

However, in the minds of Iida and Fujii, this kind of thing is just a hassle. If you really want to make it, you can still get it, but the price is more expensive, unlike other commonly used equipment.

After hearing this, Kong Hao hurriedly said with a smile:

"I am a serious businessman. I won't touch anything that is taboo."

"I agree to this price. We'll follow the old rules later. I'll pay with German-made sulfa tablets."

Hearing Kong Hao's agreement, Iida Kazuo was delighted. According to the price agreed with Fujii before, he could get 20,000 tablets of top-grade sulfa drugs at once, and could earn at least 300,000 oceans, which was a huge sum that could not be ignored.

Moreover, he can use his bank's identity to lower the price of old equipment, so he can have the best of both worlds.

The most important thing is that their bank has a lot of this kind of old equipment all over China, all of which were mortgaged to the bank after the factories went bankrupt. He can easily pass them through several hands and make a lot of money.

Seeing this, Fujii quickly spoke up:

"The sulfa drugs I used last time were very effective and sold very well locally, but the quantity is a bit low. I decided to raise the price from three dollars a piece to five dollars. What do you think?"

Kong Hao certainly had no problem with such a good thing. Anyway, the price of the sulfa tablets he exchanged was shockingly low. It would be great to earn more money from the Japanese and use it to develop our troops.

We couldn’t buy any more machinery and equipment after that. A lot of good things were seized from the railway station, enough for the arsenal to digest for a while. Many times, too much is as bad as too little.

"Fujii-kun, Iida-kun, I also want to buy 20 tons of refined copper ingots and 50 tons of high-performance steel ingots. My client has established several wire factories and machine processing plants, and they are in urgent need of these raw materials."

In fact, these things are used to make bullets and firearms. Before their own steel plant is completed, they can only be purchased from outside.

One ton of refined copper ore can make 10 6.3mm Arisaka bullets, and twenty tons can make two million bullets. In addition, the bullet casings can be made of purchased high-quality copper, and the warheads can be made of copper refined by the Eighth Route Army itself. In this way, at least 300 million to 400 million bullets can be produced, which is enough for the arsenal to use for a period of time.

The barrel of an average rifle weighs about one kilogram, so 50 tons can be used to produce 50,000 rifle barrels.

The steel used for other parts of the rifle may be rail steel or produced by other small factories, but the barrel must be made of good steel to ensure the overall performance of the rifle.

Faced with this demand for raw materials, Jingtian did not say anything, as he understood the rules of businessmen.

Just now, Fujii didn't have any spot goods, so he stepped in and got the first deal.

The latter are conventional materials, which are the strength of Fujii Trading Company. If he continues to fight for them, he would be ignorant.

Sure enough, when Fujii saw that Iida Kazuo didn't say anything, he immediately showed a satisfied expression.

He kept in mind what he had said before and offered a very low price. Sometimes steady and long-term business is the best.

"Mr. Jingguchi, all these supplies together will cost five thousand dollars."

Kong Hao was very satisfied after hearing this. This was cheaper than what he had bought from Shueyecao before. It seemed like he had made the right decision this time.

"Oh, right. I also need 1,500 vernier calipers, 500 outside micrometers, 300 inside micrometers, 300 height measuring instruments, 200 balances, 300 angle rulers, 500 square rulers, and 200 levels."

The vernier caliper that Kong Hao bought last time was of very high precision and was loved by all the workers in the machining factory. It was a pity that the quantity was too small and it was not enough.

Not only the arsenal needs it, but also other bases in various places. It can be said that anything related to mechanical processing needs it.

Now basically several factories take turns using one vernier caliper, which is very time-consuming.

He ordered so much at once, enough for the big guy to use for a long time.

It is very sad to say that China's current industry is extremely backward. The limited machinery and equipment are all imported from abroad and are made in various countries.

We have no R&D capabilities for precision instruments such as vernier calipers, micrometers, and Taipings, and can only rely on imports from abroad.

However, their imported products were not only of poor quality but also very expensive. With the strength of the Eighth Route Army, it was simply impossible to purchase them on a large scale.

Precisely because there are no corresponding standards, the weapons produced by the major bases are all varied and many of the sizes do not match.

Therefore, what Kong Hao has to do now is to unify the standards so that all parts produced in the base can be standardized and regularized.

Fujii didn't expect that what Kong Hao wanted to buy were these precision measuring instruments, but fortunately, their trading company had such things in stock and there was no need to transfer goods from long distances.

"Mr. Jingguchi, the cost of these precision instruments is very high. If you add them up, it will cost at least 30,000 yuan."

Kong Hao was still very satisfied with this price, mainly because it was far below his psychological price.

Next, he bought a large number of drill bits, up to 10,000 of each model, and especially the commonly used ones, which amounted to 30,000.

The main reason is that this kind of drill bit made of good steel is deeply loved by all the workers. Even Factory Director Ren and Political Commissar Qin specifically asked Kong Hao in advance to bring back as many as possible if he has the chance, the more the better.

There were also vises, wrenches, screwdrivers and various repair tools. He even bought 200 kilograms of nails. Anyway, these things were paid for with sulfa tablets, so he did not lose money no matter how he calculated it.

All these together are not expensive, only two thousand dollars.

After buying these, Kong Hao calculated the special forces’ transportation capacity and decided not to buy more things.

Although Fujii and Iida repeatedly persuaded him to buy more, Kong Hao always evaded the question by saying that he would talk about it next time.

In the end, Kong Hao bought Dayang's goods and paid for sulfamethoxazole.

To show his sincerity, he added 100 more pieces, making a total of pieces.
