"The three kilometers surrounding the pharmaceutical factory are all designated as military restricted areas and incorporated into the scope of activities of our pharmaceutical factory."
"Give us another garrison battalion, with a full strength of 500 people. Except for four heavy machine guns, it cannot be equipped with any other heavy weapons."
"In order to ensure the safety of the pharmaceutical factory, the garrison camp five kilometers away from the pharmaceutical factory has been increased to a reinforced regiment to reinforce the pharmaceutical factory anytime and anywhere."
The principal breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously thinking that this matter was settled.
He immediately replied: "I will report to the top when I get back and try to send the relevant orders to the pharmaceutical factory within two days."
"Director Li, we have agreed to the conditions you proposed. Can you ask the reporters outside to leave and not to reveal the attack on the pharmaceutical factory last night? Otherwise, the Chongqing security forces will definitely lose their face."
"Don't worry yet!" Li Hao shook his head and denied.
The colonel's nerves that had just relaxed became tense again, and he looked at the major general next to him with a puzzled look on his face.
The major general's face was calm, as if he had expected this scene. Then he asked Li Hao directly without explaining.
"Director Li, what other requests do you have, please put them all forward?"
Li Hao no longer hesitated: "Just now we only solved the safety problem of the pharmaceutical factory, allowing the pharmaceutical factory to have a relatively safe production environment."
"We haven't calculated the losses after the attack on the pharmaceutical factory last night."
"According to statistics: a total of 231 members of the factory protection team were killed in the battle, and 89 members of the factory protection team were seriously injured. In addition, we also had equipment worth 10,000 oceans destroyed in the Japanese bombardment. These equipment were all purchased from the United States.
If we want to ensure that the pharmaceutical factory is operating at full capacity, we will have to spend at least 20,000 oceans to buy it back from the United States."
"You have to bear these trivial matters?"
"I asked people to calculate the compensation for the wounded, the pension for the dead soldiers, plus the funds needed to purchase new equipment. The Ministry of Military Affairs and Government will compensate us a total of 55,000 yuan."
As long as the loss of the factory protection team is true, the compensation will not be much, and it will all be calculated according to the pension standard for combat troops.
Moreover, these oceans are not only undertaken by the Ministry of Military Affairs and Administration alone.
As the main person responsible for this matter, the Chongqing Guard Force must bear part of it.
As a result, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government will have to bear even less compensation.
The major general quickly figured out the cause-and-effect relationship and immediately replied: "Yes. We will bear the compensation!"
Li Hao continued: "There is one more thing that I need to inform you of, and I also need some convenience from the Ministry of Military Affairs!"
"After the safety and compensation issues have been resolved, if one more thing remains unresolved, the pharmaceutical factory will also face a huge threat and may suffer disaster at any time."
"We can be sure from the time of this attack that the pharmaceutical factory has attracted the attention of the Japanese."
"Now that our Chinese army has penicillin because of the existence of pharmaceutical factories, the survival rate of seriously injured soldiers on the battlefield has greatly improved."
"And the Japanese don't have this kind of medicine."
"Otherwise they wouldn't have taken such a big risk to rob in Chongqing."
"I'm worried that after they can't get the drug formula, they will send out planes to bomb the pharmaceutical factory and completely destroy it."
"What they can't get, our Chinese army can't even think of using."
"If this is the case, the pharmaceutical factory will definitely suffer a devastating blow in the air strike."
"In my impression, Chongqing has been attacked by Japanese aircraft more than once, so the inference I just made is at least 80% likely to happen."
"In order to prevent the army from running out of penicillin, I decided to take precautions and nip it in the bud."
Li Hao's analysis was so impeccable that the major general could not find any reason to refute, so he could only continue what he said and ask.
"How does Director Li plan to prepare for a rainy day?"
"Xi'an!" Li Hao spit out these two words.
It is also the rear area with convenient transportation and rarely encounters air raids."
"I plan to build a branch of a pharmaceutical factory there."
"Relevant equipment and raw materials are all purchased from the United States to ensure that they will not affect the output of Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory."
"Of course, this is just an idea of mine."
"Buying equipment, selecting a site, and building a factory will take several months, but in order to ensure the supply of penicillin, we must do this."
"Once the Chongqing pharmaceutical factory suffered a devastating blow in the bombing, we still have a Xi'an pharmaceutical factory to continue production."
"this?"
The major general's first reaction was that the pharmaceutical factory wanted to break away from the control of the Ministry of Military Affairs. He hesitated for a long time and did not speak. He neither dared to agree nor refused.
At this time, the deputy from the Military and Political Department reminded in a low voice: "Sir, I think we can agree."
"Although Xi'an is far away from here, our country's most elite troops are stationed there. As long as the pharmaceutical factory is in Xi'an, it will always be under our control!"
The major general finally made up his mind and answered with certainty: "Yes, I agree with this."
"When I get back, I will report to Shangfeng, and then give orders to the garrison in Xi'an to facilitate you and cooperate with you in establishing a branch of the pharmaceutical factory."
"But there is one requirement, which you just promised, Director Li. The production capacity of the Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory must not be affected. After the branch of the pharmaceutical factory is established, 40% of the output must be sold at the same price regardless of the production capacity.
To the Ministry of Military Affairs."
This trick of the major general is so powerful. As long as the pharmaceutical factory branch in Xi'an starts production, they can buy penicillin at a low price, taking advantage of it without suffering any losses.
Of course, these benefits are all for the Ministry of Military Affairs and Government.
They do not need to buy penicillin at five times the retail price, saving a lot of money.
For pharmaceutical manufacturers, even if the price sold to the Ministry of Military Affairs is very low, only one-fifth of the retail price, there is still a lot of profit.
More importantly, once the Xi'an branch is established, the transportation channel between Chongqing and Xi'an will be opened.
Using the excuse of transporting raw materials, we can transport some important materials to Xi'an and then send them to the border areas and base areas through Xi'an. That will be much closer and easier.
Thinking of this, Li Hao felt happy.
But he didn't show it, but replied with an embarrassed look, "The price is too low. The price I gave you is not even the cost price. I sold it to you at a total loss."
"Pharmaceutical factories have been relying on the profits generated from retail sales, otherwise they would have collapsed long ago. However, for the sake of the frontline soldiers fighting the enemy bravely, I decided to agree to your request just now."
"If you lose money, you will lose money, as long as the pharmaceutical factory can continue to operate normally."
The colonel who came from the security force finally found a chance to speak.
Seeing that the two people had reached an agreement, he immediately reminded: "Director Li, since everything has been negotiated, what about the reporters outside the pharmaceutical factory?"
"I'm going to report to Lieutenant Colonel Jack now. After he knows the results, he will definitely let those reporters leave."
