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

It is precisely because the sulfa drug provided by Kong Hao is too exaggerated in efficacy that it costs one pound per tablet. If 50,000 pounds is used, only 50,000 tablets are needed at most, which is a piece of cake.

"Butler, agree to them, but we have to deliver them in several batches. In addition, regarding the sulfa drugs, we can cooperate with the forces here and have a deep bond with the powerful people here."

"After all, we are too weak now and we are still outsiders. It is not appropriate to show off too much at this time. Let's talk about it after my layout is completed."

After hearing this, the butler nodded and agreed, and then continued:

"The cannery currently produces 500 tons a day, mainly purchasing mutton from nearby farmers. After investigation, we found that there are hundreds or thousands of hectares of pastures everywhere, and some even have hundreds of square kilometers of pastures."

"Because of this, the beef and mutton here are extremely cheap. One pound can buy about 30 kilograms of high-quality beef and mutton. Our cannery only buys whole beef and mutton, unlike other canners who only buy good steaks and lamb chops. The price is much lower. The current price is about one pound for 100 kilograms of beef and mutton."

"We also opened a slaughterhouse next to the cannery, so nothing from the sheep and cattle was wasted. Sheepskins, cowhides and wool were all processed separately."

"We also buy a large number of wild rabbits in this area. You can get a reward of one pound for every 100 rabbits. This makes all the nearby residents very happy. Many people bring their entire families out just to make some extra money."

"For wild boars, five are one pound, and for wild goats, twenty are one pound. For us, that's an absolute bargain."

Kong Hao asked doubtfully, "One hundred wild rabbits have about one thousand kilograms of meat. This is not a small amount. Are the locals really willing to do this?"

"Master, you don't know this. When the locals heard the news, they were so happy. This is also a free gift of pounds."

"In fact, we have miscalculated many things. There are too many wild rabbits in this area. They often eat the grass and dig holes everywhere. Local farmers have built a lot of fences to prevent wild rabbits, but it doesn't work at all. After all, rabbits can dig holes. It's really annoying."

"Every year, people here spend a huge amount of money to fight hard against rabbits, but they always end up failing."

"It's also because locals rarely eat rabbits. Think about it, there are beef and mutton to eat, who would want to eat wild rabbits? And foreigners don't know how to cook, they only know how to fry and deep-fry, so it's strange that the rabbit meat they cook tastes good."

"Because there is no practical benefit, the locals have no interest in catching rabbits. It is basically the local municipality or farmers who organize people to eliminate the rabbits."

"Now, one hundred rabbits can be sold for one pound, which is not a small amount of money, especially since we rent out iron cages that can easily catch rabbits. The rent is not expensive. One iron cage only needs one rabbit a day."

"This iron cage can catch ten rabbits at a time. If you rent three or five cages, the whole family can catch fifty or sixty fat rabbits in their spare time every day and earn 0.5 pounds. If you are lucky in a month, you can earn at least 15 pounds, which is not a small amount of money."

"You know, a local worker only earns more than 10 pounds a month, and that's in the local currency. We use the British pound, which is the most valuable currency in the world. The two are completely different."

"When I gave this price, everyone in the town was shocked. After repeated confirmation, the mayor took the lead and everyone in the council hall participated. On behalf of more than 400 people in the town, we signed a sales contract and specifically emphasized that we should buy their products first."

Faced with this situation, Kong Hao thought about it carefully and understood the whole story. He couldn't help but sigh that this is a country that does business, and people's brains work so quickly.

It is estimated that it won't be long before this small town called Lilachi will usher in great development. Ordinary residents will definitely go to the wild to catch rabbits in cages. People with some assets, such as the mayor, will definitely bring back a large number of wild rabbits from other places at a low price, and then sell them to us at a high price.

But we didn't suffer any loss. Even if we can get ten kilograms of meat from each of the hundred rabbits, that would be one thousand kilograms of meat. Moreover, other parts of the rabbit's body are also useful. For example, its fur can be used to make cotton shoes, which is also a necessity for us ordinary people.

As long as we can get enough of them, we can definitely bring down the domestic prices, and allow the people who have suffered from the war to breathe a sigh of relief and live a few days of comfort.

Although one pound is worth a lot of money, it is completely cost-effective to exchange it for one hundred rabbits. In the future, we can sell all kinds of advanced industrial products here, and then use the industrial products to exchange for various foods and raw materials. The profit is exciting to think about.

Thinking of this, Kong Hao hurriedly ordered: "Butler, we can exchange sulfa pills with the locals. Now one pill is equal to one pound, which can be exchanged for one hundred rabbits. This is also a good deal for us."

"By the way, what's the current progress of the transport ship I asked you to buy?"

"Master, we have already bought two ships. Each ship can carry about 5,000 tons of cargo and has a speed of about 12 knots. Except for the captain and a few important personnel, all other people are local overseas Chinese. In the future, all the factories we open will give priority to recruiting local overseas Chinese."

After hearing this, Kong Hao nodded. This was exactly what he wanted to see. To be honest, we local people are having a hard time, and any help we can give is a helping hand.

"Butler, from now on, we will send people to Southeast Asia to recruit more people. As long as they meet our requirements, we will recruit more people back. We will also offer higher salaries, twice the salary of the locals."

"Also, send another ship to a port on the Chinese coast that has not been occupied by the Japanese. It has a carrying capacity of 5,000 tons and will first carry 1,000 tons of canned food, 3,000 tons of wheat, 600 tons of steel ingots, and 300 tons of copper ingots."

The reason why Kong Hao did this was to confirm that there was another powerful family behind him that could mobilize a large amount of supplies into the country.

Another thing is to take advantage of the price difference between the two sides and bring down the sky-high price of grain in the country so that ordinary poor people can have more meals.

The current price of wheat here is about 200 kilograms per pound, while the price in China has risen to a sky-high level. An ordinary worker cannot afford to buy much food after working hard for a month.

If Kong Hao sold a large amount of sulfa drugs and then used the funds to buy food, the profits would be unimaginable, not to mention that he also controls all the advanced technologies in the next few years.

As long as large cargo ships dock in China to unload cargo, it will be enough to make everyone believe that many things were shipped back from abroad by Kong Hao's family. This also means that in the future he can boldly take out many things in the space without arousing suspicion. This is very important.
