Chapter 470: 5 sulfa tablets = 5 dollars
Although the 4th Division has now relaxed control over many materials, drugs such as sulfonamides are still strictly controlled. This is mainly because the Japanese themselves do not have many of them and they often purchase them on the black market to supplement their army.
Now I suddenly heard that there is no shortage of sulfa drugs in my hometown. How can I believe this? It's too unbelievable.
So he asked seriously: "Old Lu, how many of these anti-inflammatory drugs do you have?"
Old Lu crossed his fingers and whispered, "This time we shipped 30 tablets and one kilogram of sulfa powder. According to our superiors, our intelligence officers need to sell tablets and kilograms of sulfa powder a month."
Hearing this astonishing number, even the Sixth Brother of the Military Control Commission, who had seen many storms, opened his mouth wide and exclaimed: "This is impossible, this is absolutely impossible."
Even for the Military Control Commission, taking out 50,000 sulfa tablets at once was a very difficult task. It's not that there weren't any, but it required the use of strategic stocks, which was no joke.
Currently, sulfa tablets on the market cost three dollars per tablet. Fifty thousand tablets would be equivalent to one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, which was a huge sum of money in that era.
As for sulfa powder, I'm sorry, most people have probably never heard of it. This is the most precious thing and is basically only in the military. It is not circulated in the market and no one can afford it.
But Feng Zheng then thought about his future plans. This was truly a timely relief, coming at the right time.
Originally, he just wanted to take advantage of the relaxed business environment in the city to get a large amount of cloth, grain, steel and other miscellaneous things back home. This business mainly focused on quantity and the money earned was hard-earned.
But if he could bring back a large amount of anti-inflammatory drugs, then those generals in the army would have to treat them as masters, and his status as the sixth brother of the Military Control Commission would rise sharply, far beyond the previous petty fighting.
Then, he said with a serious expression: "Old Lu, for things like selling drugs, we'd better find someone who has nothing to do with us and who can withstand everyone's investigation."
"It would be best if he had returned from abroad and had a channel to import medicines. Moreover, the medicines were produced by large foreign manufacturers, so the quality was absolutely reliable."
"To put it bluntly, the person we are looking for is ostensibly an agent of a foreign pharmaceutical company. This will make all forces afraid to act rashly. As long as our people get into trouble, this valuable drug import channel will be cut off, which is equivalent to killing the goose that lays the eggs. This is the only way to ensure the absolute safety of our personnel."
"By the way, how much does this sulfa drug provided by the superiors cost?"
"Old Zheng, since our superiors didn't say explicitly, I guess it shouldn't be expensive, otherwise how could there be so many? We just hope we can sell them quickly. If they sell well, we'll increase the quantity later."
After hearing what his old partner said, Feng Zheng felt relieved, and he knew that if he sold such exclusive items, he would definitely make a fortune.
"Old Lu, this is what I think. Since the sulfa drugs we provide are so effective, we can't sell them cheaply. We should sell them at the black market price of three dollars per pill and sell them to those rich people."
"Especially those gangs and businessmen, they are very rich, as long as the things are good, they will definitely buy a lot."
"As for the Military Control Commission, they charge three dollars a piece. If you buy a lot, you can get two dollars a piece. The main reason for winning is quantity."
"Old Zheng, I don't understand this kind of thing either. Just leave it to you."
"By the way, I have another good thing here. My superior asked me to pass it on to you."
After saying this, he took out a box from the inner pocket of his coat. When he opened it, he saw a small object in a glass bottle.
Feng Zheng had never thought that his superior still cared about him and brought him something. He hurriedly asked curiously:
"What's in this? Isn't it a medicine?"
"This is also an anti-inflammatory drug, but I heard from my superiors that it is ten times more effective than ordinary sulfa tablets. We call it penicillin. Oh, it also has a foreign name, penicillin."
After hearing this, Feng Kite became more and more surprised. More strange things happened today than he had seen in the previous three years. The sulfa anti-inflammatory drugs, which were originally extremely scarce, were no longer needed by the army, and their intelligence personnel no longer needed to find ways to buy them. Instead, they asked everyone to help sell them in large quantities. Don't you think it's strange?
In fact, this was also Kong Hao's plan. As a large amount of sulfa tablets and sulfa powder were sent to various troops, the wounded were able to receive effective treatment, and the number of soldiers who died from wound inflammation was very small.
The penicillin project team has also expanded its scale significantly and can now produce about 2,000 bottles a month, which cannot be consumed in a short period of time.
In addition to the large amount of inventory, Kong Hao also takes out one hundred bottles every month and gives them to intelligence personnel from all over the country for trial, thereby building up his reputation.
Now we mainly sell sulfa tablets to make a small profit, but after a while, we can sell penicillin to make a lot of money.
After all, one bottle of penicillin is worth one life. You can bid what you think your life is worth.
When penicillin can be mass-produced, that will be the time when we can really make money. One gold bar and one penicillin, there is no second price. You can buy it if you want.
"Old Lu, it can cure injuries that sulfa can, and it can cure injuries that sulfa can't, even better, and its efficacy is amazing."
"But how is this possible? Not to mention the legend, even in the Eagle Country, this kind of thing can only be synthesized in small quantities in the laboratory. How can our army have it?"
"This is totally unreasonable. Even if this miracle drug is produced in small quantities, it is basically produced overseas. How can we possibly get it?"
"As far as I know, even with the huge power of the Military Control Commission, they can only get no more than five doses of penicillin."
Seeing the excited kite, Old Lu calmed down a lot. He said with a hint of meaning:
"Who cares? This is something our superiors should worry about. We just need to do our own job well. Besides, this is a great thing. Why should we worry about it?"
"Okay, I'll go back and prepare. I'll let you know when I've settled the personnel and production location."
Feng Zheng thought about it and agreed. He was just worrying about something unrelated to his own business. Why should he think so much about such a good thing? Just do it.
This is a good business that can make money, and it is the kind of big business that puts money directly into your own pocket. As long as there is sufficient supply, there will be many people scrambling to buy it. It is definitely the kind that has a high price but no demand, and no matter how much, it can be consumed.
After he returned to the Military Control Commission, he immediately sent a telegram to the headquarters in Shancheng, detailing his plan.
The headquarters also took it very seriously. After all, this was the idea of the Sixth Brother of the Military Control Commission. The most important thing was that once this was accomplished, it would benefit everyone in the Military Control Commission.
Finally, the plan was sent to Boss Dai. After reading it, Boss Dai thought it was good and agreed to it. He also asked Lao Liu to be in charge of this matter and other members of the Military Control Commission needed to cooperate fully.
As for the distribution of benefits, he also took the initiative to suggest that 20% was too much for him, and he only needed 10%, and the extra 10% would be used as benefits for all the people in the Military Control Commission.
