[058] Penicillin sells well
These capitalists ignored it intentionally or unintentionally: it was an unknown but lucky small company. When we entered Alaska, we could easily swallow it up with a little means!
Not all of these capitalists are familiar with the trick of eating small fish. With a turn of their minds, there are more than a dozen ways to swallow Schmidt Mining.
At this time, Boli also spoke: "I admit that I have some 'selfishness' in applying to Congress to the State of Alaska in addition to being able to safely judge Hunter, because according to Schmidt Mining Company's survey, Alaska's gold
The mine reserves exceed 2,000 tons, and there are also abundant iron ore, copper ore, natural gas and oil! If mined, it is conservatively estimated that the total value is more than 2 billion pounds! Schmidt Mining Company promises that as long as Alaska can establish a state, it will be built.
Railways, 3% of their benefits will be donated to Alaska to improve people's livelihood!”
This news, like a bombshell, not only made Harrison squirt blood in the White House, but also made the international capitalists seem to transform into hungry wolves who saw blood. His eyes were red and he was panting like a cow, and he wanted to go immediately
Flying to Alaska with mining equipment: Schmidt Mining is a bird! If there is a railway, I would be willing to pay 5%, no, 8% of the profit to Boli! 2 billion pounds, 10 billion US dollars!! So
Schmidt Mining wants to take over a big piece of cake, but there is no way!
These capitalists responded immediately!
United Pacific Railway declared: "It is willing to undertake all railway paving projects in Alaska at a discounted price, but the premise is that Alaska can become an independent state with federal protection!"
US Steel, controlled by the Morgan consortium, issued a statement: "I am willing to enter Alaska for iron ore inspections. If conditions permit, I am willing to reach an agreement with the Alaska capital to exchange iron ore for steel to ensure that railway paving in Alaska will never be caused by lack of raw materials.
Interrupt!"
Rockefeller's Standard Oil also spoke: "If Alaska really contains rich oil resources, Standard Oil supports Alaska's state construction, because Standard Oil's branches need to be opened in a place with sound judicial and complete tax system!"
...
For a time, the whole of the United States was almost the same voice: that was to support Berli and support Alaska to become an independent state!
In the 19th century, American politics was a consortium politics. As soon as the boss spoke, Harrison immediately couldn't hold on and waved his hand dejectedly: "Okay, okay, if Alaska wants to establish a state, just establish a state, and leave it to the Senate people to discuss.
Right! I don’t want to care anymore!”
Portland, Meihao Chemical Factory.
Long Hao smiled at Schmidt: "Dear Dr. Schmidt, there is a lot of controversy outside. Isn't your mining company ready to stand up and say something?"
Schmidt cursed in his heart: What is my mining company, are you the major shareholder? Are you a promise to make a fortune in silence? Now, what kind of independent state is built, which makes Alaska giants Morgan and Rockefeller
I'm on my sight, Master Long, I see how you ended up! Those guys are all the masters who eat people and don't spit bones!
Okay, let’s not mention Schmidt’s dissatisfaction, nor do we mention that the US newspapers are fighting fiercely and the US Congress is in a state of turmoil. Let’s take the time axis back to more than ten days ago, when Long Hao and his party arrived in Portland.
Little Libixi drove the Daimler four-wheeler car to greet Long Hao in person, and Long Hao also heard in the previous telegram that penicillin sold quite well, to the point of shockingly good.
According to Libixi, after Long Hao left, the sales of penicillin were once poor. However, when a colonel injured in the US-Mexico frontline saved his life with a penicillin, the order was like snowflakes, flying from all directions, including
The US military orders occupy the majority.
Little Libixi smiled and said, "One penicillin is priced at $500, and we sent out 1,000 last month. From your departure to now, we have made more than $2 million in profits with the penicillin product alone!"
Long Hao was shocked when he heard this: "The sales are so good? 500 US dollars, the price is not low, and ordinary patients cannot afford it!"
Little Libixi nodded and said, "The hospital purchased very little, and the main buyer is the military headquarters. They were using troops on the US-Mexico border some time ago, and casualties are probably indispensable!"
Long Hao thought for a while: "Military Department is right... Well, Sentas, in the future, the military department can give them a 50% discount. In addition, it will be a penicillin with a poor effect, and the price is set at $80.
One is mainly for hospitals! Haha, small profits and quick turnovers. The population of tens of millions of people in the United States, one penicillin per person a year is enough for us to make money! Avoid being missed by the military!”
Little Libixi said: "Young Master Long said it well. In fact, the military headquarters has set its sights on us for a long time... In recent months, many people from the military headquarters have come to our factory. Fortunately, the company is registered in Spain and belongs to His Royal Highness the Princess.
The Americans did not act rashly! Well, the laboratory is already developing penicillin with less effective pharmaceutical effects, but the cost is slightly higher than before!”
The original penicillin cost about $15 plus labor, while the cost of penicillin with poor efficacy increased to $18 due to changes in raw materials!
But these are all small problems. Even if you only sell $80 per piece now, penicillin will be a huge profit! Not to mention the authentic penicillin of $500 per piece, the speed of making money is simply a robbery of the bank!
Is the drug less expensive?
Long Hao was amused and laughed and cried when he heard this: "Okay, okay, just have this early warning, slowly reduce the price of penicillin, increase the efficacy of the medicine, and distinguish between military and civilians! A huge profit of $500 per unit
, It won’t last long! I’m here this time to make you transform!”
Long Hao’s concerns are not groundless. As early as after the advent of penicillin, Meihao Chemical Factory received close attention from the US military.
I remember that after reading the recent casualties report and military expenditure, Lieutenant General Cech was surprised to find that the number of casualties in the US military dropped sharply, while military expenditures were rising steadily. After checking, I found that all these money were
Used to buy a special injection called 'penicillin'.
"$500 per piece, what is this potion? Is it liquid gold?" Lieutenant General Cech was surprised by the high price of penicillin. He called his subordinates to check the details of this "Meihao Chemical Factory".
If the background is not strong enough, Cech would not mind in the name of "national security" to incorporate this chemical factory, which is dedicated to serving the national army.
Use the best medicine to reduce the casualties of soldiers. This is a major political achievement for Cech. If Meihao Chemical Factory does not cooperate, Cech believes that once the news of $500 per life-saving medicine is spread, those who have to
The families of soldiers who died without timely treatment will definitely rush into Portland like bulls and smash the chemical factory!
Who asked you to sell life-saving medicine so expensive?
However, the results of the investigation surprised Lieutenant General Cech and was very troubled. This inconspicuous Meihao Chemical Factory is wholly owned by an O&M company, which is registered in Spain and holds the owner.
Still a princess in the royal family!!
Now Cech dared not act rashly. Although Spain is already in decline, it still has a fleet near the Caribbean Sea. There are more than 100,000 troops in the colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico. Now it has broken up with Spain.
Cech... doesn't have that much power and courage!
If you don’t dare to move, you can only give the money honestly! Anyway, it’s all taxpayers’ money, so Cheh’s spending is not particularly distressed.
However, Cech still made some efforts. He sent his subordinates to Portland to meet Liebich, hoping that the price of penicillin could be slightly reduced!
Unfortunately, at that time, when Meihao Chemical Factory was just opening and earning money, Li Bixi finally saw the first capital flow into the factory that was about to become an empty shell. How could he give in: Anyway, only my family has penicillin, I
Even if the cost is $499, you can only accept it with your nose!
So the people sent by Cech left in shame.
Chapter completed!
