Man! There will always be some vanity when facing beautiful women, so Fang Lang didn't tell him that he didn't want to continue to fight and just wanted to get rich, so he would transfer to the navy.

"Wow! Are you a captain now? You're younger than me! You're amazing. ”

Sophia's eyes lit up, and she began to look at Fang Lang with an expression of adoration, after all, his father was also in the navy, so he knew very well how difficult it was to become a captain in the navy.

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

"Ugh! Pretty good! This may be a time of war, and manpower is relatively scarce! ”

"What are you so happy about?" Mrs. Clark smiled and walked downstairs as she looked at the two young men below who were chatting happily.

As soon as Fang Lang saw Mrs. Clark's smiling expression, he faintly looked forward to it. Hurriedly got up, and just as he was about to speak, Sophia beside him had already spoken:

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

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

"It's not that exaggerated, aren't we all alive and well now? I don't know what the outcome of Mrs. Clark's question was. ”

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

"What you want, your family can provide it, but, I listen to my brother, it may not be easy for you to ship out of the United States. Although now the government does not restrict the export of these devices. However, penicillin production on the market is now in the hands of a few 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 did not impose restrictions on the production equipment of these drugs, Fang Lang was also relieved, and hurriedly confirmed:

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

After all, the Cold War has not yet begun, and Batumi has not yet been established. The United States is still pursuing the idea of free trade, so it does not restrict the export of some equipment from the government level. Of course, Brazil was not later an embargoed country in Batumi. However, this does not mean that Brazil has easy access to these devices.

"Yes, the US 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, still has a relatively clear idea of the American army. This is indeed the reality, the fundamental reason why the patent of penicillin is open is so that soldiers in war time can use the best antibacterial drugs faster.

At the beginning of 1945, the monthly production of penicillin was 4.7 tons, and the price dropped to $25 per gram, or $200 a bottle.

Although the number is enough for all the Allied soldiers, the pharmaceutical giants who are businessmen are definitely not willing to let such a good product technology outflow and let others enter the market to share their cake, so although the government does not restrict it, the pharmaceutical giants are still openly and secretly restricting the outflow of technology.

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

Fang Lang knew that it was the period of rapid development of penicillin production, and the manufacturing of production equipment must be very tight, so he was also worried about how long it would take for him to get the equipment.

"There is definitely no spot, and now the equipment on the production line is an order from several major pharmaceutical companies. If you know what you need, they can arrange for them to go in and start production now, and it can be delivered in about a week.

What my brother means is that in order to thank you for saving John's life, the production of this batch of equipment, they can produce it secretly without making a production plan, but you must find a way to arrange for personnel to transport it away at the first time, and not let them find out. ”

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

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

If it could be completed within a week, it would be just in time for the three transports coming 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 you don't get caught by them with direct evidence."

Mrs. Clark's face was light, obviously very confident in her family's business, after all, the United States is a capitalist society, and there is nothing that money cannot be put on the table, if there is, it can only mean that the money is not enough.

"I don't know what your family mainly produces, but if we can, we will purchase a batch of other equipment to make this batch of equipment less visible."

Fang Lang was also very surprised that Mrs. Clark's family could produce such advanced equipment, of course, he didn't want to just purchase a batch of pharmaceutical equipment. If you don't use such a good resource, it doesn't fit Fang Lang's frugal character.

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

Mrs. Clark's answer directly opened a new door for Fang Lang, it turned out that Fang Lang had been trying to find a way to establish his own industry in Brazil, but most of them were deep processing and export-oriented enterprises, which could not have much impact on Brazil's own economy, but Mrs. Clark's answer suddenly opened Fang Lang's mind.

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

However, the rice has to be eaten one bite at a time, and now the funds on hand cannot fully blossom, so it can only give priority to solving a part of the industry that can be effective immediately.

"It's really good, we use all these equipment, we are a big agricultural country in Brazil, and there is a huge demand for fertilizers and pesticides. Then we directly purchase a batch of these equipment, and the equipment for the manufacture of penicillin is entrained in it, and it will be difficult to be detected. ”

In this way, it can not only meet his actual needs, but also solve the problem of confidentiality, which is simply killing two birds with one stone, and Fang Lang is very satisfied. But Mrs. Clark didn't think so, after all, if such a large-scale purchase were to be made, the amount of money needed would be a huge amount, and few companies had such strength.

So she looked worried and said:

"If that's the case, your procurement costs 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 make the scale of the factory very big all at once, as long as there is a production line, after mastering the production process, it is not too late to expand the production capacity and scale. I believe that with the funds on hand, I can fully procure.

"The price is not a problem, the key is that I buy these equipment, can you help you get the production process of specific products!" After all, if we only have equipment and don't know the manufacturing process of specific products, the equipment will be a pile of scrap metal after we buy it. ”

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

However, the process of manufacturing products that is really important is not directly purchased. 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 difficult to say whether these 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 the company to conduct formal business negotiations, so that it will not attract attention."

Mrs. Clark obviously did not understand the actual situation in the family business, and could not answer Fang Lang directly. But with this relationship, Fang Lang's company will definitely get special care when it wants to purchase these equipment.

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 status in her mother's brother is still very important.

"Yes, this is the best, you explain to your brother first, I will let the procurement staff of the global trading company tomorrow go to the company to negotiate directly in the name of purchasing a complete set of pesticide and fertilizer production equipment."
