Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 54

  Chapter 54 Harvest

   Man! There is always some vanity when facing beautiful women, so Fang Lang didn't tell him that he didn't want to continue fighting and just wanted to make a fortune, so he transferred to the navy.

   "Wow! Are you the captain now? You are younger than me! You are amazing."

  Sophia's eyes were shining, staring at Venus, and she began to look at Fang Lang with an expression of admiration. After all, his father was also in the navy, so he knew how difficult it was to be a navy captain.

  Although Fang Lang didn't say it was a destroyer, he told him that he was the captain of a transport ship, but a transport ship is also a ship!

   "Uh! It's okay! This may be a time of war, and manpower is relatively scarce!"

   "What's so happy about it!" Mrs. Clark walked down the stairs with a smile, looking at the two young people who were chatting happily below and said.

  When Fang Lang saw Mrs. Clark's smiling expression, he felt a little hopeful in his heart. He got up quickly, and just when he was about to speak, Sophia beside him had already spoken:

   "Mom! Do you know! It turns out that Fang almost died in order to save John! It's scary to think about it."

  Hearing Sophia's words, Fang Lang didn't want Mrs. Clark to ask what happened again, so he quickly changed the topic and said:

   "It's not that exaggerated. Aren't we all living well now? I don't know what the result of Mrs. Clark's question will be."

  Mrs. Clark looked at her daughter, then at you Fang Lang, knowing that Fang Lang didn't want to talk more, so she said directly:

"What you want can be provided at home, but I heard from my brother that it may not be easy for you to ship it out of the United States. Although the government has not restricted the export of these equipment. However, the production of penicillin on the market now, They are all in the hands of several medical giants, and they may not let these devices flow out of the United States easily."

  As soon as he heard that the U.S. government had not imposed restrictions on these drug production equipment, Fang Lang was also relieved, and quickly confirmed:

   "You mean, the U.S. government doesn't restrict the export of equipment, right?"

   After all, the Cold War has not yet started, and Batumi has not yet been established. The United States still pursues the idea of ​​free trade, so it has not restricted the export of some equipment from the government level. Of course, Brazil was not an embargo country for Batumi either. But this does not mean that Brazil can easily obtain these equipment.

   “Yes, the U.S. military is open to the production of penicillin. They hope that there will be plenty of cheap drugs that will save the lives of soldiers.”

  Obviously, Mrs. Clark, as the wife of an American general, has a relatively clear idea of ​​the American army. This is indeed the reality. The fundamental reason why the drug penicillin is open to patents is to allow soldiers in wartime to use the best antibacterial drugs faster.

   But the price of penicillin during this period was indeed ridiculously high. In early 1945, the monthly output of penicillin was 4.7 tons, and the price dropped to $25 per gram, or $200 a bottle.

Although the quantity is enough for all Allied soldiers, the pharmaceutical giants who are businessmen are definitely not willing to let such good product technology flow out and let other people enter this market to share their cakes, so although the government does not restrict , but the pharmaceutical giants are still restricting the outflow of technology overtly and secretly.

   "Then don't you know if these devices are in stock?"

  Fang Lang knew that now is the period of rapid development of penicillin production, and the manufacture of production equipment must be very tight, so he was also worried about how long he would be able to get the equipment.

   "There is definitely no stock in stock. The equipment on the production line is now ordered by several major pharmaceutical companies. If you are sure that you need it, they can arrange to jump in and start production right now, and the delivery can be made in about a week.

Brother means, in order to thank you for saving John's life, they can secretly produce this batch of equipment without making a production plan, but you have to find a way to arrange for the personnel to be transported away at the first time, and you can't let them Find. "

  Mrs. Clark's family obviously didn't want to offend the entire pharmaceutical industry for Fang Lang. After all, these companies are their company's real long-term customers.

   "No problem, my fleet will arrive in the United States soon, just in time to pick up this batch of equipment, but this may have a bad impact on your family business!"

  If it can be completed within a week, it can just catch up with the three transport ships from Italy. But Fang Lang didn't want their family's business to be affected because of his business.

   "It's okay, as long as they don't get caught with direct evidence."

  Ms. Clark's face was calm, and she was obviously very confident in her family's business. After all, the United States is a capitalist society, and there is nothing that cannot be settled by money. If there is, it can only mean that the money is not enough.

  "I don't know what products your family mainly produces. If possible, we will purchase a batch of other equipment to make this batch of equipment less conspicuous."

  Fang Lang was also very surprised that Mrs. Clark's family could produce such advanced equipment. Of course, he didn't want to simply purchase a batch of pharmaceutical equipment. If such a good resource is not used, it does not conform to Fang Lang's frugal character.

   "Our family is mainly responsible for the manufacture of some chemical equipment. Specifically, it seems to be used to manufacture acid and alkali materials. Production equipment such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and medicines are also our main products."

Mrs. Clark's answer directly opened a new door for Fang Lang. It turns out that Fang Lang has been trying to establish his own industry in Brazil, but most of them are deep-processing export-oriented enterprises, which cannot play a role in Brazil's own economy. What a big impact, but Mrs. Clark's answer immediately opened Fang Lang's mind.

  The most direct thing must be the manufacture of pesticides and fertilizers, but what is more important in Fang Lang's mind is the preparation of basic chemical raw materials of three acids and two alkalis, which will directly affect the lifeline of a country's basic chemical raw materials industry.

  But food needs to be eaten bite by bite. Now the funds on hand cannot be fully blossomed. It can only be a priority to solve a part of the industry that can bear fruit immediately.

"This is really great. We can use all these equipments. Brazil is a big agricultural country and has a huge demand for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Then we can directly purchase a batch of these equipments and entrain the equipment for making penicillin. Hard to spot."

   This can not only meet his actual needs, but also solve the problem of confidentiality. It is simply killing two birds with one stone, and Fang Lang is very satisfied. But Mrs. Clark doesn't think so. After all, such a large-scale procurement would require a huge amount of funds, but few companies have such strength.

  So she said worriedly:

   "If this is the case, your purchase cost will be huge! As far as I know, the price of these devices is very high!"

  Fang Lang doesn't want to become a big fat man in one go, nor does he want to directly increase the scale of the factory at once. As long as there is a production line, after mastering the production process, it will not be too late to expand the production capacity and scale. I believe that with the funds on hand, it is completely possible to purchase.

"The price is not a problem. The key is that I bought these equipment. Can you help me get the production process of the specific product! After all, if we only have the equipment, we don't know the manufacturing process of the specific product, and the equipment will be a pile of waste after we buy it back." iron."

  As a modern person, Fang Lang is very clear about what is really important, and machinery and equipment are easy to solve, but manufacturing technology is the foundation of a company, so Fang Lang is not worried about the purchase of machinery and equipment.

  But the really important process of product manufacturing cannot be purchased directly. However, as a manufacturer of these equipment, there must be a manufacturing process for these products, otherwise these equipment will not be able to be built. Of course, it is hard to say whether these technological processes were developed by the company itself.

   "I want to ask about this. If you need to purchase other production equipment, I suggest that you directly arrange personnel to go to the company for formal business negotiations, so that it will not attract attention."

  Mrs. Clark obviously didn't know the actual situation in the family business, so she couldn't answer Fang Lang directly. But with this relationship, Fang Lang's company will definitely get special care when it wants to purchase these equipment again.

  Since the other party is willing to produce a set of penicillin manufacturing equipment for Fang Lang without making a production plan, it can be seen that Mrs. Clark's position in her natal brother is still very important.

   "Yes, this is the best way. You should explain it to your brother first. Tomorrow, I will ask the purchasing personnel of Global Trading Company to directly negotiate with the company in the name of purchasing a complete set of pesticide and fertilizer production equipment."
