Chapter 63: Smuggling (Part 3)
Thank you for the rewards of "Fang Fuhe", Ambiguous and You 12, Tiantian Pig's Day, Feiya's four classmates, and YY My Best Classmate's Evaluation!
The third update arrives, and there is a chapter on time at 0 o'clock!
――――
The police quickly arrested the grain merchant and sent him to the court the next day, where the court handed down the verdict on the same day.
The grain merchant who was sentenced to beat him was sentenced to pay 50 yuan in compensation for medical expenses, and the grain purchased was a normal market purchase and sale and would not be returned. But it's not right to hit someone, what can I do to the police uncle! As a result, he was also fined 500 silver dollars.
Although Xia Jun demanded strictness, he couldn't come nonsense, it would not be good to scare the businessman away, and a fine of 500 yuan was already very heavy.
The laws in the autonomous regions must be regularized, as well as law and order, etc. After the court announced the verdict, the businessmen who went to the court to observe the sentence were also convinced.
The arrested businessman was originally scared half to death, and was arrested by the security team, and he imagined countless miserable outcomes in his mind.
As a result, when the verdict came, he was only sentenced to a public security fine of 500 yuan, as well as medical expenses of 50 silver dollars, and the food did not have to be refunded, which surprised him.
When it was time to pay the fine, the merchant said that the court had given the penalty fairly.
When these businessmen saw Xia Jun raise the purchase price, they also raised the purchase price to a piece of five, in fact, they still made a profit of one piece of five, even if the price of grain fell, but there was at least a profit of one silver dollar per stone of grain, not to mention that there was no checkpoint for collecting taxes on the way to buy things in the autonomous region.
China also imports 373,000 tons of rice and 30,000 tons of flour every year, so it has a good market for its own country, not to mention exports.
Soon the grain merchants were transporting the purchased grain to Fuzhou, and this time they hired the planes of the security regiment to transport it, and the transportation efficiency was very high, and the freight cost was even lower than before.
Xia Jun attaches great importance to it in northwest Fujian, and if these businessmen can give preferential treatment, they are expected to sell goods to Xia Jun! Naturally, you can't offend people.
In fact, this time Xia Jun wanted to make some grain reserves, but he didn't have much money in his hands, and the funds didn't turn over much, so he didn't go to implement it, but transported the grain to Fuzhou, and by the way, let Li Shengguo open a grain store to sell grain.
……
On September 20, five 7,000-ton cargo ships of the freight company acquired by Chen Jiayi arrived at Ningde Port and brought another batch of raw materials.
Among the raw materials shipped this time was antipyretic ice.
This is the raw material used for the production of sulfonamides, sulfonamides have a wide antibacterial spectrum, for a variety of cocci such as meningococcal diplococcus, hemolytic streptococcus, pneumococcus, staphylococcus, gonorrhoea and some bacilli such as dysentery bacillus, Escherichia coli, Proteus, Yersinia pestis have inhibitory effects, and also have inhibitory effects on some fungi (such as actinomycetes) and malaria parasites. Clinically, it is used in the treatment of cerebrospinal meningitis, upper respiratory tract infections (such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, otitis media, pneumonia, etc.), urinary tract infections (such as acute or slow urethral infections, mild pyelonephritis), intestinal infections (such as bacterial dysentery, enteritis, etc.), plague, local soft tissue or wound infections, eye infections (such as conjunctivitis, trachoma, etc.), malaria, etc.
In these years, there is no penicillin and no sulfonamides, and some diseases are difficult to resist.
The manufacturing method of buying sulfonamides only requires 1 million points, while the manufacturing method of penicillin requires 5 million points.
Now the hospitals in northwest Fujian have long used sulfonamides, penicillin and other drugs, but they are all directly exchanged by Xia Jun, not made by himself.
This time, Xia Jun is buying the manufacturing method of sulfonamides, not the exchange factory.
Zhang Cheng, who is in charge of the chemical industry, is in charge of building a sulfonamide manufacturing plant this time, and Xia Jun will exchange the equipment for him from the system, but those equipment are not production lines and are not expensive.
Zhang Cheng led more than a dozen students from the Department of Science and Engineering Chemistry, as well as several students from the School of Medicine, and quickly devoted himself to the development of sulfonamides.
The manufacture of sulfonamides is not complicated, and the production of sulfonamides is generally based on antipyretic ice...... (The country is so harmonious, this paragraph can't be transmitted, so it was deleted directly)
Xia Jun has already exchanged the production steps, Zhang Cheng only needs to follow this step again, and it should be no problem to get sulfonamides, Fujian has frequent trade with the West, so there are more plagues introduced, so there are often outbreaks of plague in Fujian, and sulfonamides are very important drugs.
The five 7,000-ton cargo ships that came to Ningde Port this time also had more than 60 American crew members, as well as several management personnel.
Xia Jun gave them a satisfactory salary, which made them all willing to do things for Xia Jun.
Xia Jun's ocean transportation company did just that, and the company hung an empty shell from the United States, and Xia Jun's five 10,000-ton cargo ships turned into American ships.
With this identity, it is easy to do it, Xia Jun immediately integrated these American sailors and the recruited Fujian crews, and arranged them to various cargo ships. Then a batch of paper and cotton cloth was mobilized and transported to Hangzhou, Shanghai, Guangdong and other places by five 7,000-ton cargo ships.
Since it was shipped out in Ningde, no one collected taxes, which was export smuggling. When it arrives at the destination, the customs tax is very low because it is hung with a U.S. license.
There is naturally no problem with smuggling for the first time, but once the smuggling is frequent, the customs will notice Ningde Port, and Xia Jun is a little distressed.
How is this going on?
The armed escort seems a bit reluctant, after all, China's customs are controlled by the great powers, and they can mobilize warships to come to intercept smuggling, and warships from Britain, the United States, France, Germany and other countries can do it.
But if you don't carry out armed protection, once the customs comes to intercept smuggling, then your own ship will not be towed away.
