"That's what I think about buying grain." Li Hao continued to propose.

"Go to Sichuan, Northwest and other places to purchase grain, transport grain, all of which are responsible for your Jin Sui Army, our Eighth Route Army does not participate in the whole process, and only arranges for the troops to receive the grain you purchased back in the Datong area, and pays the money with one hand and the grain with the other."

"No way!" The major general subconsciously objected, and then he was ready to say his reasons.

But Li Hao didn't give him a chance to continue talking, and broke very decisively: "General Zhou, don't talk yet, when I finish speaking, you will analyze the pros and cons in it, and then it's not too late to object." ”

"Let you Jin Suijun have full authority to purchase and transport grain, it seems that you have suffered a big loss, and you have contributed money and efforts, in fact, you have taken a big advantage, and it will make this transaction easier to keep secret."

"The reason for going to Sichuan and Northwest China to buy grain is that the military grain has been destroyed by the Japanese army in large quantities, and there has been an unprecedented drought in North China, so it is urgent to transfer grain from other places to help the victims and stabilize the morale of the army and the people."

"If we let the Eighth Route Army go deep into the two places to buy grain under the banner of your Jin Sui Army, there are too many things to do in the middle, and it is inevitable that accidents will occur and our identities will be exposed."

"In this way, our trade will be ruined, and your Jin Sui army will also be affected."

"But it's different if you Jin Suijun go by yourself."

"Do your own thing, and no one can find any loopholes."

"So I think that your Jin Suijun has full authority to purchase and transport grain, which is not only more conducive to secrecy, but also safer."

"There is another advantage, you are fully responsible for purchasing and transporting grain, and sell it to us at a suitable price in Datong, this matter is well manipulated, you not only do not need to spend a piece of ocean to buy twelve heavy guns and supporting shells, but also make money."

"You have a special procurement department and transportation troops, and you don't need to spend an extra ocean on sending them to Sichuan and Northwest China to purchase and transport grain. When you send the grain to Datong and sell it to us, you will definitely add all the transportation costs and losses along the way to us in the price of the grain. ”

"To a certain extent, these transportation costs and losses along the way are earned by you for nothing."

"Because without this deal, you're still going to have to pay to feed these procurement and transport troops."

"In the end, the more grain you send to Datong, the more money you will earn from us."

"According to the current price of grain, if you purchase and transport 60 million catties of grain, even if you can't earn 400,000 oceans, you will definitely be able to earn 120,000 yuan."

"If the 60 million catties of grain sold to us are increased to 100 million catties, the 12 heavy artillery pieces and supporting shells will be equivalent to giving them away for nothing."

The Major General was silent, frowning and deep in thought.

According to Li Hao's proposal, there is too much space to operate inside.

The troops went to Sichuan and Northwest China to purchase military rations, and the price was certainly lower than the local market price, and the Eighth Route Army sold them at the market price in North China.

There was a great drought in North China, and the price of grain soared, getting higher and higher day by day, and the difference in price alone could make Jin Suijun make a lot of money.

Coupled with the loss and transportation costs along the way, the Jin Suijun can get at least 30% of the profits, and it is possible to get 40%.

It is equivalent to selling 60 million catties of grain to the garrison regiment, and he got nearly 25 million catties of grain for nothing.

If you really sell them 100 million catties of grain, not only will the heavy artillery regiment be given away for nothing, but the Jin Suijun will also be able to earn a lot of oceans for nothing.

Thinking of this, the major general was moved, but did not answer immediately.

According to the current soaring grain prices in North China, it may not be enough to buy 100 million catties of grain and 1 million oceans.

The Eighth Route Army is notoriously poor, can they take out so much ocean?

If you can't take it out, what you just thought about is just a sweet dream.

In order to solve this doubt, the major general immediately asked Li Hao: "Do you have so much money in the Eighth Route Army?" ”

"It's a million-dollar business."

Li Hao replied confidently: "Please rest assured at this point, after the grain is delivered to Datong, we will pay the money with one hand and the grain with the other, and we will never owe you a piece of the ocean." ”

"Besides, General Zhou should know about penicillin!"

"I'll tell you a secret: the R&D personnel of penicillin joined our Eighth Route Army two months ago, and after nearly a month of preparation, our Eighth Route Army has produced the first batch of penicillin."

"Although Chongqing took over the original penicillin pharmaceutical factory, because of limited equipment and high production costs, the output has not increased, and even fewer have been assigned to the World War II zone."

"When the funds are really insufficient, we can use penicillin to offset it, and the deduction price is 20% lower than the market price, I don't know if it will work."

The news that the penicillin Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory transferred half of its equipment and production technology to Chongqing free of charge was widely spread in China, and Major General, as Chief Yan's confidant, must have known it.

At that time, everyone believed that after Chongqing took over the pharmaceutical factory, it would increase penicillin production and reduce retail prices at any cost.

The results were quite different.

Penicillin's production has declined instead of rising, and even fewer have been assigned to World War II zones.

The Second World War Zone directly confronted the Japanese army, and they fought almost every day, and the little medicine that was distributed above was not enough at all.

In order to meet the needs of the troops, the theater had to take its own money to buy penicillin for retail.

However, in order to ensure the so-called production costs, Chongqing's retail prices have risen instead of falling, and the retail volume has also been reduced by half compared with the original.

The price of the limited penicillin was directly doubled, and sometimes even tripled, because the supply exceeded the demand.

Even with the use of the World War II zone, the price of buying retail penicillin is still twice as high.

Everyone who understands knows that the so-called guarantee of production costs is an excuse and a fake.

The reason why Chongqing is doing this is nothing more than the word profit, they want to make more profits through penicillin.

Hearing that the Eighth Route Army had penicillin, and that it could be sold to them at a price two percent lower than the market price, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, General Zhou would jump with joy directly.

Buying penicillin from the Eighth Route Army at a price two percent lower than the market price can save at least half of the money compared to buying retail penicillin from outside.

To a certain extent, this money was also earned by Jin Suijun.

Thinking of this, General Zhou wanted to agree on the spot.

But because of his limited powers, he could only suppress his inner excitement and replied in as calm a tone as possible: "Head Li, I agree with your proposal in principle, but the final decision is in the hands of Chief Yan. ”

"I'll go back to the theater command now, personally report this matter to the commander, and try to give you the result as soon as possible."

"Director Yan stays, once Chief Yan makes up his mind to agree to this transaction, I will ask Director Yan for instructions, appoint Director Yan as the person in charge of the entire transaction, and you will lead the procurement and transportation departments to go deep into Sichuan and Northwest to purchase grain, and then conduct direct transactions with you."

Yan Youjin was very excited.

If Chief Yan really handed over such a confidential matter to himself, it meant that he had been approved by him and became his confidant.

When the time comes, it will become logical to be promoted to an official position and make a fortune.

He immediately replied: "Sir, don't worry, as soon as you give your order, I will discuss the specific transaction location and plan with Commander Li to ensure that the transaction is foolproof." ”
