Chapter 589: It's all wonderful
This may also be the most loss-making business that Liu Lang has done in this world.
But it may also be one of Liu Lang's most successful businesses.
The world is such a thing! It's amazing, two people who are thousands of miles apart may only look back at the moment when they are staggered, and they will be entangled for a lifetime. The same is true for business, the amount of profit does not necessarily determine the profit or loss.
Anyway, one Chinese and one Western, one man and one woman, the two parties are beating their chests and regretting not falling, and the other is like picking up a golden doll for nothing, calling the family on the other side of the ocean overnight, urging the family to send someone to China to sign the contract as soon as possible.
This means that there is no flight between the United States and China, otherwise, perhaps in less than two days, the contract of the Ross family has been placed in front of Liu Lang waiting for Liu Lang to sign and confirm.
After all, Liu Lang still underestimated the huge demand for sulfonamide antibacterial drugs in the international market, although the US dollar of about 8 million is also an astronomical amount, but compared to the value that sulfonamides can create, it seems insignificant.
You must know that a flu more than ten years ago took the lives of nearly 20 million people in the Americas, and in the United States, as many as 500,000 people died in that year.
The emergence of sulfonamides, which have a special effect on pneumonia, can be said to be a lifesaver for such patients, and how much economic benefit can be produced in this can be calculated with the toes of Laura, who was born in a merchant family.
However, although Liu Lang did not correctly estimate the true value of sulfonamides, he did not ask for a sky-high price, nor did he really say that poverty limited imagination, but he knew very well that European countries have been conducting research on sulfonamides for more than ten years, and they just lack an introduction.
In fact, it is true that in the past time and space, the first generation of sulfonamides was developed in just one year, and dozens of sulfonamides were introduced, and by 1945, thousands of sulfonamide-derived drugs were developed for the treatment of various bacterial diseases.
It is impossible for Huashang Group's sulfonamide to dominate the market all the time, and the time of the scenery may only be half a year.
In real terms, with a share capital of 8 million US dollars, Liu Lang did not lose money.
Of course, these are things that Laura and the Ross family could not have anticipated. However, of course, they will not lose, and the Chinese Business Group will always surprise them.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Lang met the famous Shanxi bigwig Comrade Yan, and it was difficult for Liu Lang to have a bad feeling for him when he personally greeted the Shanxi bigwig who went out in a military uniform and glasses.
It is said that the biggest advantage of Comrade Lao Yan in being able to stand firm in Shanxi is that he knows people well and is good at his duties, and he spares no effort to promote generals from other provinces while taking his own relatives and fellow villagers as the core, and facts have proved that he is extremely accurate in employing people; no matter in that war, there are very few rebel generals in the Shanxi army, and it is not a fluke that he has been operating in Shanxi for decades with a firm grip on military power.
But when Liu Lang came into contact with him, he found that if he just said that he knew people and was good at his duties, he really looked down on this big man of the Republic of China, with extremely high emotional intelligence and a strong ability to deal with people, so that a son like Fan Ziran who was mixed in the business circle felt like Mu Chunfeng and didn't feel any pressure.
Comrade Lao Yan obviously also knew the identities of the little foreign girl Laura and Fan Ziran, so when Comrade Lao Li went to the hotel to invite Liu Lang, he also invited these two for him.
So in Comrade Yan's living room, there were not only Liu Lang, but also those two, but Lao Yan first had a brief chat with these two business elites, one Chinese and one foreign, and then he was accompanied by his famous cousin, Yan Huiqing, the fifth sister.
Of course, the two soldiers in military uniforms did not carry anyone on their backs. As if he had no interest in military affairs, Comrade Lao Yan didn't mention the Battle of the Great Wall at all, and after a few idle words, Comrade Yan laughed: "When Commander Liu first came to Taiyuan, the poor mountains and bad waters in Shanxi are not very good-looking, and the places where the literati and scholars in the Jin Temple go are not very attractive to military heroes like Commander Liu, why don't you accompany the old man to go around the Taiyuan Machinery Factory?" ”
Liu Lang was slightly stunned.
What kind of medicine is being sold in this gourd, Comrade Yan?
Taiyuan Machinery Factory, the name sounds like an ordinary factory, in fact, it is another name for the famous Taiyuan Arsenal in this period.
As one of the three major arsenals in China, the manufacturing capacity of Taiyuan Arsenal can actually rank first. It produced 35 artillery pieces, 100 mortars, 3,000 rifles, 900 imitation Thomson submachine guns, 15 machine guns, 15,000 shells, 9,000 mortar shells, and 4.2 million bullets. With a scale of 15,000 workers, the Taiyuan Arsenal can produce the equipment of a standard division almost a month when the raw materials are sufficient.
It was not until Comrade Lao Yan returned to power last year that he slowly recovered his productive forces, but because of the suspicion of being suspicious of the bald bosses, the recovery was limited, and even the name was changed first.
But no matter what you say, this is also the most core and most important department of the Jin Sui Army, no matter what you say, it is not the turn of Liu Lang, an "outsider" who still has the Central Army on his head and is stationed in Sichuan, to watch it!
"Thank you to Chief Yan for your trust, and even more to the two mountain cannons supported by Chief Yan during the Battle of the Great Wall, Liu Lang has always remembered them." Liu Lang didn't answer directly, but suddenly brought up this stubble.
In the future, the thousands of shells and two brand-new mountain cannons purchased by Lao Taishan independently are from Shanxi, Liu Lang knows very well in his heart that there is no nod from the big guy in front of him, let alone a mountain cannon, it is just a cannonball, and you don't want to transport it out of Shanxi.
"You are far away, your father-in-law spent money to buy it, and I also made a lot of money in Shanxi, so there is little gossip, what? Talking about this now, is it a reminder to the old man first, saying that you Liu Lang is a poor bastard now, don't sell you mountain cannons and cannonballs or anything? Comrade Yan waved his hand and joked.
"I don't dare to ask for it." Liu Langwen replied to Comrade Yan in a crepe manner.
The little foreign girl on the side was stunned for a while, and it was good to be able to understand the Chinese vernacular, which was a sentence from Mencius, which was almost incomprehensible for Westerners.
The two men, one old and one young, looked at each other and laughed.
I have to say that both of them feel that the other party is a wonderful person.
One drops the bait, and the other swallows it without thinking, which is interesting.
It is said that it is a wonderful person, but it is synonymous with a fox.
At least in the eyes of the little foreign girl, the two foxes, one old and one young, laughed brightly, but the little foreign girl instinctively felt that these two people had a conspiracy after talking about the clouds and mountains for a long time.
Yan Huiqing looked at Liu Lang's back and was a little surprised, don't look at her cousin's humble appearance, in fact, he is strong on the outside and inside, very few people dare to play anything in front of him, but this young colonel does it smoothly without condensation, which is also a manifestation of extreme self-confidence.
The king of Shanxi left a good impression on Liu Lang.
And Liu Lang was equally impressed by these two, not only confident, but also cunning and difficult.
