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

Of course, Chu Yunfei also had his own plans. What he just said was just a starting point, mainly to bring the two closer together. Next, it’s time to get down to business.

He asked in a serious tone: "Brother Yunlong, I heard that your army has opened a new channel for importing foreign medicines. Our Jinsui Army wants to buy some sulfa tablets."

After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately shook his head like a rattle and denied it three times in a row without even thinking:

"We are not, we didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Chu Yunfei was a little amused after hearing this, and quickly explained: "Brother Yunlong, at this point, you shouldn't make fun of me."

"Our Commander Yan has already discussed this matter with the head of your headquarters. He only asked me to come here to discuss it for the sake of confidentiality. I think it's better for us to be open and honest. It would be meaningless if we hide it."

At this time, Li Yunlong seemed to be possessed by a spirit of drama. He patted his head and said in annoyance:

"This matter is my fault. Minister Zhang came to explain it a few days ago, but he didn't say who it was. I was so busy that I completely forgot about it."

"Since this is the order from the leaders, there is nothing much to say. Guard, go to the warehouse to get some medical supplies and show them to our friendly forces."

Faced with the big fat sheep in front of him, Li Yunlong doesn't just want to sell a single item, he must also sell other things at a high price.

In times of war, the only valuable things besides arms and ammunition are medical supplies.

After the things were brought, Li Yunlong introduced them to Chu Yunfei one by one:

"Brother Yunfei, this is medical alcohol, this is medical bandage, and this is medical gauze. As long as you need it, we can provide it in large quantities."

"You can rest assured about the quality. It is definitely not inferior to those produced by big manufacturers that can be bought on the market. It can withstand any test."

Chu Yunfei confirmed it with his hand and it indeed felt good to the touch. He would need to have a professional test it later.

However, this kind of thing can be easily detected, so there is no need for Li Yunlong to lie about it.

There are wars everywhere now, and all medical supplies are in short supply. Small quantities are fine, but if it's in large quantities, you can't buy them even if you have money.

So he quickly asked: "Brother Yunlong, what are the prices of these supplies?"

"Brother Yunfei, we are old friends. Even if you want 70% of the market price, you can have as much as you want."

The arsenal recently built two new factories to produce medical gauze and medical bandages for the troops. The output is very large and can be said to fully meet the needs of the troops.

It can be said that our field hospitals basically do not need to reuse medical gauze multiple times, especially if the cleaning and disinfection are not standardized before, the wounded can easily be infected again.

In the past, there was no other way, there was nothing, and we could only find ways to reuse them. Now the conditions are much better, so we must pay special attention to this aspect.

Once the output is sufficient, we need to find a market and obtain a large amount of development funds. Otherwise, it will be extremely difficult to achieve large-scale industrial development.

Our logistics personnel have now opened a large number of grocery stores across the country and are trying every possible way to promote various industrial products. Li Yunlong is no exception. After all, military purchases account for the bulk of the spending.

When Chu Yunfei heard that the price was only 70% of the market price, he was very tempted. Currently, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army was also short of various medical supplies. If they could buy them in large quantities at such a low price, it would be a great thing for them.

Especially alcohol, gauze and bandages are items that the troops consume frequently. Even if you buy more and put them in the warehouse, once a large-scale battle occurs, temporary procurement will be the biggest trouble.

This is also the reason why Commander Yan sent him here specially. Chu Yunfei is a pure soldier and will not be involved in the messy affairs of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army's logistics department.

The Jinsui Army has now lost a large amount of territory, especially in the economically developed big cities in Shanxi Province, and its ability to obtain funds has been greatly reduced.

Although they still have the previous family savings to support them, life is still tight. When it comes to purchasing medical supplies, they try to save as much as possible.

Next, Li Yunlong introduced scalpels, hemostatic forceps, tweezers, syringes, needles and various infusion equipment, all kinds of miscellaneous items, which were also processed by our factory.

Because a set of this stuff can be used for a long time, the price is very expensive, but Li Yunlong sells it at 50% off the market price, mainly because the cost price of this stuff is too low and he is embarrassed to make too much profit.

Ever since our arsenals were able to mass-produce these things and after calculating the costs, everyone has been cursing the foreigners who sold them too cheaply, even cheaper than the Africans.

Our strategy now is to slowly release large quantities of medical supplies to the market and bring down the price, so that other troops who originally could only buy one item can now buy two or even more.

With more medical supplies, the wounded on our side in battle can receive timely treatment, so that more veterans can return to the battlefield, which will obviously improve the strength of an army.

With more veterans in the army, the combat effectiveness will definitely be stronger, and we can kill more Japanese devils. As a result, our losses will become smaller and smaller, while the enemy's losses will become greater and greater.

Next, the highlight of the day came. Li Yunlong picked up a glass bottle and said proudly:

"Brother Yunfei, these are sulfa tablets. There are 100 tablets in this bottle. We imported them from abroad. They are much more effective than other sulfa tablets in China. You can just test them when you get back."

"The current market price is three dollars a piece, and it can only be purchased in small quantities, but our sulfa tablets only cost two dollars a piece, and we can have as many as you want."

"Brother Yunlong, this is great. We fully accept this price."

Compared with other medical supplies, Chu Yunfei was very familiar with sulfa tablets. This kind of thing is a miracle anti-inflammatory drug. Their 358th Regiment was also equipped with a small amount of it. However, after a battle, the thing the hospital lacked most was sulfa tablets.

He also often asked his superiors to request more sulfa tablets for their regiment, but he was always unsuccessful.

Moreover, people in the logistics department often told him that a tablet of sulfa cost four dollars and was often out of stock. It would be even more expensive if purchased in large quantities.

This is determined by the supply and demand of materials. Except for the Eighth Route Army, other places in China are simply unable to synthesize and produce sulfa tablets. Everything has to be imported, which would definitely be sky-high prices, and the more you buy, the more expensive it is.

In the end, Chu Yunfei purchased a total of one million oceans worth of medical supplies, and he also promised that after returning to try them out, he would definitely increase his purchasing efforts.

At this time, he had already made up his mind that after their Jinsui Army purchased the goods, they could resell them to other local armies or the Central Army at market prices. This would definitely make a lot of money and be used to purchase more supplies.

After all, Chu Yunfei is a typical Shanxi man. He has been doing business since he was born. This should be an instinct. Even a professional soldier like him has this idea, let alone our Commander Yan, who is an expert among experts in this area and is better than anyone else.
