In the next few days, Schmidt was busy planning the follow-up matters. The subcontracting meeting that night had been exposed by the media. The emergence of the two giants Morgan and Carnegie made this subcontracting meeting, which was despised by countless businessmen in the United States,
Suddenly it became full of gimmicks.
Dozens of newspapers reported on this subcontracting meeting that determined the mining pattern in Alaska from different angles, different locations, and different materials.
Not surprisingly, the media's argument is divided into two groups. One group still believes that Schmidt is seeking a life from death. Alaska is as barren and desolate as he claimed, and there are no massive mineral deposits at all; while the other group believes that Morgan
The addition of Carnegie made the mystery of Alaska's mineral deposits even more confusing and unclear.
But no matter which faction they belong to, one conclusion is consistent, that is: Schmidt, a Jewish boy, became the big winner of this subcontracting meeting, not only netting 3.85 million U.S. dollars (the part given by Fuld was not
Publicly), and also introduced railways to the ice-covered Alaska. The business opportunities in the future are limitless!
Schmidt was too busy to do anything, but Long Hao secretly took people and set sail from the port of Portland, with the goal: San Francisco!
Long Hao's purpose in going to San Francisco was obvious. The newly acquired Italian shipyard was there, as well as the fishery site he had purchased. Now he wanted to use it as a production base for whitening fish.
Of course, traveling with him was little Liebig. This German-born chemist was full of praise for the magic of whitening fish. After handing over the work of the chemical plant and laboratory to Schister, he led his team to San Francisco.
.
Meihao Chemical Factory's main business direction has shifted from penicillin to whitening products, which is also the policy set by Long Hao.
Penicillin, a huge profit-making gadget, involves too sensitive a field, and excess profits cannot be maintained for a long time. Rather than being resented by the US military, it is better to proactively lower the price. Anyway, the alchemist Long Hao is still willing to lower the price anyway.
Countless varieties can be made, it depends on whether Liebig's laboratory can industrialize them.
The price of penicillin has dropped, and the purchasers of the U.S. military are naturally grinning from ear to ear. In the past, a bottle cost 500 US dollars, but now it is 50% off, and it only costs 250 US dollars. Moreover, the sales director of Meihao Chemical Factory also told the U.S.
The Ministry of Military Affairs revealed that in three months, Meihao Chemical Factory will launch a penicillin with a unit price of US$80. The efficacy will naturally be a little less effective, but it is enough to kill infectious bacteria!
It is said that human nature applies everywhere. After tasting the high prices for half a year, and suddenly getting a huge discount, the US military department was a little grateful to the 'merciful' Meihao Chemical Factory. Not only did they pay the price readily, but they also took away the penicillin.
, and also settled the balance of the previous arrears in one lump sum, and just like that, Long Hao received another US$520,000!
After Lieutenant General Cech heard the good news, he tilted his head and thought for a moment, then put a draft on the table proposing sanctions against Meihao Chemical Factory and put it in the drawer: There is also penicillin worth 80 US dollars a tube? It is not nearly as effective.
It doesn't matter, anyway, those bastards on the front line will recognize her now.
'This brand, when I heard that penicillin was not distributed during the detachment operation, they would still protest! Huh, they are all a bunch of hard-to-maintain men. Don't you know that the federal military expenditure is very tight? In the past, one pill cost 500 US dollars.
It’s more than the annual salary of a soldier!
Lieutenant General Cech finally made up his mind. Three months later, the military department purchased penicillin priced at US$80 a tube!
In addition to little Liebig, Rong Hong, a great man, also returned to Long Hao after arranging the departure of the young children studying in the United States. He spent no cent of the US$100,000 and also brought more than a dozen bills: a total of 34,333
Dollar!
Fortunately, Long Hao has made a lot of money recently, so he doesn't care about this old man who engages in education regardless of cost. It's only more than 30,000 US dollars, which came out of his own funds!
He didn't care about money, but he still had to ask Long Hao where he was going to spend his money. Rong Hong had already prepared a list and handed it to Long Hao.
The list was written about the destinations of the young children studying in the United States and the expenses spent on each one. It was detailed and not cumbersome. Long Hao glanced at it and found that most of them were going to Boston or Washington... Only two people chose it.
I went to military academies, one was at West Point and the other was at Annapolis.
Long Hao deliberately wrote down their names: Xingtianhai and Gu Xiangyun (book friend Tianhai Xiangyun guest-starred).
Long Hao raised his eyes, shook his head and smiled: "These kids are not interested in the army!"
The contract signed between Long Hao and these young children studying in the United States was later revised. It was agreed that as long as the children successfully graduated from the U.S. Military Academy, their remuneration and security would be doubled during the next four years of working for Long Hao! But now it looks like
Come on, even though Long Hao offered generous treatment, these young children still didn't buy it.
Rong Hong chuckled and said: "Yu Jie, they are all scholars, but they don't know your grand plan. They only want to return home and serve the imperial court after working here for four years! It's not like you don't know the imperial army.
If it weren't for the Smoking Team,
Aren't they all controlled by Li Hongzhang? How difficult is it to get ahead? So going back to the old path of people like Zhan Tianyou and Wu Yangzeng and engaging in industry is the most common idea in their minds! Young people like Zhuzi are in the minority after all...
…”
Yujie is the nickname that Rong Hong chose for Long Hao. It means: Zhongling Yuxiu, outstanding people, Longhao comes from the future. He doesn’t pay much attention to the nicknames, but he just follows the local customs and does not dare to say goodbye to the gifts given by his elders.
, Long Hao still accepted this nickname.
Long Hao, Long Yujie, after dozens of days of shouting, Long Hao has become accustomed to it.
Long Hao curled his lips: "Those short-sighted kids will spend their whole lives working in the industry. Hum, Mr. Rong, do you know what I'm going to do in San Francisco this time?"
Aren't you also a doll...
Rong Hong knew that Long Hao was venting his anger, so he just smiled. He didn't share his understanding, but shook his head: "You are a dragon entering the sea, how can I know what you are thinking? But if you want to go to San Francisco, it's okay to go with him.
I'm on the same road."
Long Hao was surprised and said: "Mr. Rong, do you have an acquaintance in San Francisco?"
Rong Hong remained silent and said, "Tell me first, what are you going to do in San Francisco?"
Long Hao straightened his back: "Buy the school!"
The idea of acquiring a school, especially a Western-style university, has been in Long Hao's mind for a long time. The courage to enter the university hall is just a gadget for elementary school students, not worth mentioning. If you want to cultivate useful talents,
It was still necessary to adopt Western-style university management and education methods, so acquiring a university in the United States became Long Hao's first choice.
There is an incisive saying in China: It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others! No matter how good you ask for something, it can only meet your temporary needs. Only what you cultivate yourself can be used for a long time and become more handy.
Long Hao is engaged in the great cause of China's rise, and he started it almost from scratch. Scarce resources like talents can be relied on to poach employees and tie up meat tickets to meet emergencies in the early stage, but what about the future? If the Chinese nation wants to rise, it must have its own confidants.
Talent? This way of studying for young children studying in the United States is an elite route, but Long Hao’s acquisition of universities starts from the fundamentals.
