Chapter 596: Head of the Osaka Division: Head Wang, you want me to sell you
Chapter 596 Osaka Division Commander: Commander Wang, are you asking me to sell my country? You have to add more money!
The Osaka Division is a well-known trader division. As the leader of the Osaka Division, Kenzo Kitano naturally has a certain understanding of economics.
Of course he knew that if a commodity was monopolized, then the price would definitely be decided by the monopoly.
Unless there are competitors who have also developed the same product, the price will be difficult to be reduced.
Of course, there is also another possibility, that is, overcapacity, and merchants are selling discounts to promote volume.
But at least, the pricing power is in the hands of the merchant.
However, Kenzo Kitano still had some doubts, and he asked again: "Captain Wang, since you have mastered the purification technology of penicillin and can produce unlimitedly, does that mean that the price of penicillin will drop significantly in the future?"
Wang Chengzhu shook his head: "Captain of Kitano Division, I think your concerns are completely redundant. First of all, I can indeed produce penicillin without limits, but I won't do that.
I still understand the reason why strange goods are so habitable.
The penicillin I produce is only supplied to our Eighth Route Army for use. At most, it is to transfer some friendly troops that are familiar with our Eighth Route Army. Apart from that, it will not be sold to anyone else.
And you, the leader of the Kitano Division, is our only agent of penicillin, the kind that has long-term cooperation."
After pausing, Wang Chengzhu changed his mind and continued: "It's a chaotic world now. I think you should be paying attention to the situation in the world. At present, the whole world is fighting.
War means death, and it also means that a large number of people will be injured.
As long as the war does not stop for a day, the market for penicillin will always be infinite.
Besides, even if you don’t fight, people will get sick, especially those rich, who will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money on healthy ones.”
Of course, Kenzuo Kitano is paying attention to the situation in the world, and naturally knows that the whole world is fighting.
The reason why he asked this was just to test Wang Chengzhu.
Now I feel relieved.
This also means that as long as he is on the list, Wang Chengzhu can gain endless wealth and lead the entire Osaka Division to make a fortune together.
At this moment, Kitano Kenzuo said again: "I believe that Captain Wang is a person who believes in words and I am willing to become a long-term partner with you.
Tell me, how do you want to cooperate?"
Wang Chengzhu said: "I need all the supplies that your division can take, including guns, ammunition, artillery, shells, tanks and armored vehicles, and it's even better if you have an airplane.
In addition, there are food supplies, hemostatic drugs, anesthetics, gauze bandages, etc.
Anyway, I want everything!
Moreover, all of them were acquired at market prices.”
"As for the payment, it is settled with penicillin, and the price of penicillin is converted at 80% of the market price."
Kenzo Kitano frowned and said, "Captain Wang, I can sell all the things you need to do to you, but is the conversion price of your penicillin a little too high?
You should know that the gross profit of general commodities is at least more than 50%.
That is to say, the purchase price is only at most 50% of the retail price.”
Wang Chengzhu smiled and said, "Captain Kitano Division, you also said that it is an ordinary product, such as those products, such as seafood, which has a damage rate, and the duration of the operation is also different.
But penicillin is different. This thing is not a problem at all. As long as the leader of the Kitano Division, you can make a little noise and say that you have a batch of penicillin in your hand, there will definitely be a large number of buyers who are fighting to buy it out of their heads, or even raise the price to buy it.”
"Just say I'll give you the 20 penicillin in your hand, the commander of Kitano Division, the value is as high as US$4,000.
Even if the profit is only 20%, you can earn at least 800 US dollars in 20 penicillin and the commander of the Kitano Division.”
The purchasing power of US dollars during World War II was far different from that of the 21st century. In the 21st century, 1 gram of gold was worth about 55-60 US dollars.
In World War II, 1 gram of gold was only worth US$1.6.
This means that the 4,000 US dollars during World War II is almost equal to about 150,000 US dollars in the 21st century.
Moreover, simple purchasing power cannot be calculated like this.
If we count it in terms of GDP, the United States' GDP in 1940 was 99.7 billion US dollars. If we make up an integer, we will count it as 100 billion US dollars.
In 2021, the United States' GDP reached 23.32 trillion US dollars, and the gap between the two is 233.2 times.
In other words, if calculated based on GDP, the 4,000 US dollars in 1940 should be equivalent to the 932,800 US dollars in 2021.
This is just a meeting gift, which is the price of 20 penicillin.
In fact, the transaction price of penicillin is generally higher than the market price, and at some special moments, the transaction price will be even higher...
Seeing that Wang Chengzhu's calculations were so good, the possibility of fooling him was almost zero, Kitano Kenzuo chose to compromise.
Of course, the main thing is that the 20% profit is also quite impressive.
Kenzao Kitano said: "Captain Wang, okay, yes, just exchange it according to the proportion you said.
But what I want to know is, how much penicillin can you provide me every month?”
Wang Chengzhu had just lit another cigarette, and he slowly spit out the smoke ring in his mouth and said, "How much penicillin can I provide to your division every month depends on how much supplies your division can provide to me every month.
In other words, as long as your team has enough supplies, I can provide enough penicillin."
Hearing this, Kitano Kenzo not only had his eyes shining, but he had already conceived a huge business empire in his mind, and thought that while taking advantage of penicillin, he would find a way to buy as much supplies as possible.
Then find Wang Chengzhu to exchange for penicillin.
In this way, you can make a fortune!
"Okay, just do what Captain Wang said!"
Kenzo Kitano stood up and walked to Wang Chengzhu, stretched out his right hand. In order to show respect, he deliberately took off the white gloves from his hand.
Wang Chengzhu also stood up and stretched out his right hand.
Then the two big hands were tightly held together.
“Happy cooperation!”
“Happy cooperation!”
Both of them smiled.
If this scene was photographed by someone who was interested and released, Wang Chengzhu would definitely be mistaken for being a traitor.
After clenching his big hands for more than 10 seconds, Kenzao Kitano let go reluctantly.
It must be mentioned that it is not that he has a problem with his sexual orientation, but because the big hand just now was the God of Wealth's hand, and he must hold it tightly!
The two of them sat back, and Wang Chengzhu said again: "In addition to material cooperation, I also want to cooperate with you in some intelligence centers."
"Cooperation of the Intelligence Institute?" Kitano Kenzo frowned slightly and said, "President Wang would like to say clearly what kind of intelligence cooperation is it?"
Wang Chengzhu: "For example, the specific plan for your Japanese army's sweep this time, as well as the areas responsible for each unit, as well as the troops and weapons configurations, etc."
Kenzo Kitano's face suddenly sank, and he said with a serious expression: "Captain Wang, are you asking me to sell my country?"
