475 Pick up for nothing

For Kenny Young, Itno's purchasing manager, today was definitely a huge gain.

Beasts of prey are a great threat to humans, but for Kenny Young, the beasts of the Okavango swamp represent performance and profit.

It's really these beasts full of treasures, take the crocodile with the largest number of crocodiles in the Okavango swamp, crocodile skin is not to mention, it must be the best raw material for making all kinds of luxury jewelry, crocodile meat, bones, internal organs, blood, and even crocodile whips are of great value, Itno followed the northern division of Rhodesia to the Okavango swamp is also a team of more than 200 people, their job is to deal with these beasts hunted by the officers and soldiers of the northern Rhodesian division.

For the treatment of these beasts, there is now a perfect process, crocodile skin must be peeled off and sent back to Johannesburg to be processed into various luxury jewelry, crocodile meat and bones must be sent to Rhodesia to be processed into canned crocodiles, become a delicacy on people's tables, and finally the internal organs and blood must be sent to Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company to be processed into various drugs and health products, this piece of profit is still very rich, although it is not as expensive as penicillin comparable to gold, but it is more profitable than ordinary drugs.

"You sell crocodile blood to Johannesburg Pharmaceuticals for 0.5 cents a kilogram, and if you sell our blood to Harold Charles, we can give you one cent, which is a full double as if we sold it to Johannesburg Pharmaceuticals, and we can give 20 cents a gram for crocodile whips, which is five times higher than the price Johannesburg Pharmaceuticals gave you—" Marcos Harold, a senior manager at Harold Charles, was also in the Okavango Swamp.

Harold Charles is a British pharmaceutical company, before the establishment of Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company, all kinds of raw materials suitable for pharmaceutical production in southern Africa were sold to the United Kingdom, and now the situation has been greatly improved, Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company has become the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in southern Africa, and it is impossible for British pharmaceutical companies to buy raw materials cheaply from southern Africa.

"Cents" is part of the monetary system of southern Africa, the RAND Bank did not use the complex monetary system of the United Kingdom, the rand is directly below the cents, one rand is equal to 100 cents, similar to the monetary system of the US dollar, simple and direct.

"Do you want crocodile blood and crocodile whipping? It seems that you don't have a product for this. Kenny Young was curious that the effects of crocodile blood and crocodile viscera were the result of the Johannesburg Medical School, and Marcos Harold had no research on this.

The study of crocodile blood and crocodile viscera began, to be exact, after the popularity of Chinese medicine in southern Africa.

Chinese medicine has long paid attention to the role of crocodiles, and the "Compendium of Materia Medica" records: resorb, the main treatment of skin diseases and sores.

The "dragon" here refers to the crocodile.

After studying crocodiles, the Johannesburg Medical School found that crocodile blood has anti-inflammatory, heat-clearing and detoxifying, anti-tumor effects, and has special curative effects on lung cancer, leukemia, etc., while crocodile whip can be processed into expensive health care products because of the special effect of a certain aspect.

"That was before, and now there is-" Marcos Harold is not embarrassed, the development of drugs still needs a process, health care products are very simple, bone grinding powder can treat osteoporosis in the elderly and calcium deficiency in infants and young children, Harold Charles is actually very simple to imitate Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company.

"I'm sorry Marcos, I can't agree to your request." Kenny Young decisively refused, and Itno sold all kinds of raw materials to Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company at a low price because the owner of Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company was Phyllis, and the actual person in charge of Itno was Ida.

Both of these companies were actually founded by Roque, and it was too late for Ida to curry favor with Phyllis, so the price of selling raw materials to Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company was about the same as giving them away for nothing, and if Kenny Young dared to make a deal with Harold Charles Company privately, then wait to be held accountable.

"The price can be negotiated-" Marcos Harold did not give up, if he could, Harold Charles also wanted to cooperate with the Rhodesia Northern Division, but this opportunity would never belong to Harold Charles.

Marcos Harold also tried to contact Martin, but Martin did not even give him the opportunity to meet, before the autonomy of southern Africa, companies with British backgrounds like Harold Charles could obtain all kinds of raw materials at low prices in southern Africa, and now with the gradual improvement of the industrial system in southern Africa, this advantage no longer exists.

"Marcos, you have to understand that this is not a matter of price, if you want to make a profit from this, then it is better for you to cooperate with Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company and sell Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company's products in Europe, I think Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company will be very welcome, as for self-production, I really can't meet your requirements." Kenny Young leaves no room for error, business competition has always been cruel, some people laugh and some people cry, everyone has to keep pace with the times, Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company has a monopoly on the pharmaceutical industry in southern Africa, so those vested interests in the past, if they can't make changes, they will be eliminated.

The most straightforward examples are the Boers in Orange and the South African company in Rhodesia.

The Boers chose war and were annexed by Southern Africa as a result.

Rhodesia chose to join Southern Africa, South African companies still enjoy privileges in Rhodesia, and the governors of Rhodesia are directly appointed by Xiao Si, and there is no such thing as elections.

I don't even bother to do it.

"Sir, Mr. Sharp of the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company is waiting for you—" Kenny Young's secretary reminded softly.

"So be it, good luck Mr. Marcos." Kenny Young will send off the guests immediately, which can be regarded as a brother unit.

"Well, good luck too—" Marcos Harold said in a huff.

Just outside Kenny Young's tent, a crocodile that has been about ten meters long is being brought to the console.

A large group of workers immediately swarmed up, bloodletting, skinning, dividing, refrigerating and preserving, everything was in order.

As Marcos Harold left the camp, he looked back at the hot scene and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It's time to make a change, the current southern Africa, is no longer the southern Africa it used to be, whether Harold Charles cooperates with Johannesburg Pharmaceuticals or not, Marcos Harold is ready to go to Johannesburg Pharmaceuticals to see if there are any new opportunities.

Kenny Young is actually right, acting as an agent for Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company's products may be a very good direction.

Compared to Marcos Harold, who has rekindled hope, Sharp and Kenny Young are in a happy mood.

By the time they arrived in the Okavango Marshes, the officers and men of the Northern Rhodesian Division had hunted hundreds of beasts, which was a carnival for both the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company and Itno.

A kilogram of crocodile blood, after being processed into medicine, can be sold to the outside world for fifteen rand, and the price of selling to Europe will be directly doubled, and the effect of the wild crocodile whip is not comparable to that of breeding crocodiles, which is simply the best gospel for some people.

At this time, there was no concept of animal farming, and there were not even zoos in southern Africa except for Nyasaland, and it was very simple to see animals, leaving the city everywhere.

The zoo in Nyasaland is also a dismal operation, barely sustained by state government subsidies, and the largest customer base is the schools in Nyasaland that organize visits for children, and few adults are willing to visit.

In Nyasaland, humans have to compete with wild animals for space after leaving the city, so in southern Africa, whoever wants to engage in farming is simply the biggest joke.

"In fact, the company has been thinking about sustainable development recently, the crocodiles in the crocodile river have disappeared, and the hunters of the hunting team have hunted them out, although there are many crocodiles here in the Okavango swamp, but if you continue to hunt like this, sooner or later there will be a day when you disappear, it takes ten to twelve years for a crocodile to be born to adulthood, and how long does it take us to deal with a crocodile? It's only half an hour—" Sharp and Kenny Young had been watching the crocodile being carried onto the console, and it had only been about half an hour before the ten-meter-long crocodile had been processed.

Inside the camp, there were still nearly a hundred crocodiles waiting to be processed, and trucks from the Northern Rhodesian Division would deliver truckloads every hour, sometimes crocodiles, sometimes pythons, sometimes elephants and lions.

Ivory is also one of the raw materials, and Itno has a great demand for ivory.

"So what, at our current rate of development, the entire Okavango swamp has enough crocodiles for us to hunt for ten years." Kenny Young disagreed.

"And what about ten years from now?" Sharp asked rhetorically.

"Ten years from now, the baby crocodiles will be adults—" Kenny Young laughed, even if he wanted to breed, it was not too late to wait until ten years from now.

Of course, farmed crocodiles are certainly different from wild crocodiles, the breeding cycle is much shorter, and they can be slaughtered in a few months, in fact, there is no essential difference from raising pigs.

Sharp also fits this laugh, in fact, for this kind of strategic direction decision-making, neither Sharp nor Kenny Young has decision-making power.

In just one day, Kenny Young's team handled hundreds of wild animals, and more than 200 people were busy.

Of course, the harvest is also huge, the Itno company has obtained enough raw materials, and the trade volume between the Johannesburg Pharmaceutical Company and the Transva Canning Company is enough to cover the cost of the entire team, and the northern division of Rhodesia has also received thousands of rands in profits, don't think that this money is small, in fact, it is almost like picking up for nothing.
