After David Ford had this idea, his heart immediately felt like grass growing, and he could not calm down for a moment.
On the second day, David Ford couldn't resist the temptation in his heart. He immediately took a carriage to the public concession and found Liu Hai's trading company.
In the current trading company, Liu Hai does not come often. The person in charge of the business is Feng Tao, the husband of Zeng Yuying's personal nurse. This man used to manage Zeng Yuying's dowry shop, and was later asked by Liu Hai to come here to specifically manage the trading company.
.
Because Liu Hai has a lot to do, he cannot stay in the trading company all the time. Moreover, this trading company will have a lot of business in the future, so there must be a trustworthy person, and Feng Tao is the right candidate.
David Ford got out of the car at the door of Neptune Trading Company. When he looked up, he saw that the trading company had a Chinese-style facade. There were people coming and going in the trading company. It seemed that business was pretty good.
As soon as David Ford entered the company's office, a young man immediately came over to greet him, "Sir, are you here to buy a panacea?"
When David Ford heard the other party reveal his purpose, he got straight to the point and said in his weird accent: "I have a big business, and I want to meet your manager."
Upon hearing this, the young man looked at David Ford again, then moved him to a small reception room in the back and served him fragrant tea.
"Sir, wait here for a moment. I'm going to inform the shopkeeper now."
After saying that, the little boy left the house.
David Ford didn't wait long when a middle-aged man in a long robe and mandarin jacket came in. As soon as he saw David Ford, his face was immediately filled with smiles: "This foreign gentleman, what did I just say?"
There are some things later that I will ask you to wait for a moment, so please forgive me."
"Mr. Manager, you're welcome. Our time is very limited. I think we should get to the point."
Feng Tao nodded, introduced himself first, then asked the foreign gentleman his name, and then got to the point.
"Mr. David came to our Neptune Trading Company this time. Does he have anything to do?"
"Yes, to be honest, I came here to buy a panacea from your company. This medicine is really miraculous. The doctor had already sentenced me to death, but I didn't expect that I would be cured by this medicine."
After listening to the other party's explanation, Feng Tao thought that Mr. Yang just wanted to buy a few bottles of medicine and take them with him in case of emergencies.
"That's easy to say. Our panacea now costs 5 taels of silver per bottle. How much do you want, sir? I'll have someone go to the warehouse to get you a few bottles."
Nowadays, the price of panacea has increased. Liu Hai originally set the price of three taels of silver. Feng Tao felt that the price was too low. This was one of the few life-saving medicines in the Qing Dynasty. How could it be sold so cheaply?
?
So Feng Tao reported it to his master Zeng Yuying and directly raised the price of the medicine to 5 taels of silver.
After hearing this, David Ford felt that it was worth the money, but the price had to be discussed again.
"Mr. Manager, I think this price is still a bit high. The quantity I purchased this time is very large. I hope you can give me a discount."
"Then I don't know how much Mr. David bought? If the quantity is really huge, as Mr. David said, I can make the decision and give Mr. David some discounts."
"Mr. Manager, I need to purchase 5,000 bottles this time. Isn't this a small amount?"
Feng Tao thought for a while and then said: "If this is the case, I can reduce the price to four, two, and five cents of silver."
"The price is too expensive. I spent three dollars to buy a bottle of medicine. This is completely abnormal."
"Mr. David Ford, I understand how the high price makes you feel, but I can't help it. This is the price set by my master. If you can't accept it, I can only say sorry."
Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, David Ford could only make a compromise, "Okay, let's pay this price."
When Feng Tao saw that the other party had compromised, a smile immediately appeared on his face. This was a big deal.
Next, the two agreed on the method of delivery and payment. As long as David Forde brings the silver to Neptune Trading Company, he can take away the 5,000 bottles of elixir he wants at any time.
After David Ford returned to his residence, he immediately exchanged the U.S. dollars he brought from the United States for silver at Huaqi Bank. Then without any delay, he hired people to carry the silver to Neptune Trading Company.
Feng Tao saw that the foreigner came back a day after he left, carrying several boxes. He immediately knew that the sale was done.
Sure enough, after David Ford came to the trading company, he immediately asked Feng Tao to hand over 5,000 bottles of panacea to him as originally agreed.
After Feng Tao counted the goods and found them delivered to Baiyin, he immediately ordered the warehouse to deliver the goods David Ford wanted to him.
David Ford immediately took away this batch of panacea. He didn't want to waste a moment now. Two days later, David Ford took his goods on a ship bound for the United States.
After the ship drifted across the sea, it returned to the United States. After arriving in the United States, David Ford immediately promoted the miraculous medicine he discovered in the Qing Dynasty, and claimed that this medicine could cure all diseases in the world, and he prescribed
The price reached $20 per bottle.
At first, this kind of propaganda was regarded as nonsense, but there are always some terminally ill rich people who seek medical treatment in a hurry.
In this era, compound sulfamethoxazole tablets are indeed the nemesis of many diseases. After these rich people used the panacea, they were immediately impressed by its efficacy.
No matter how serious the inflammation is, it can be cured quickly by using a panacea.
As these rich men recovered from their illnesses, David Ford began to publicize again.
For example: A certain rich man was about to die of illness. He took the panacea with the attitude of giving it a try, and he immediately came back to life. Within two or three days, he recovered from his condition.
Another example: A certain senator's wife had severe pneumonia and could not even breathe. The doctor had given her an ultimatum, but she took a panacea and all her illnesses were cured immediately.
Most of these propagandas are true, and because of this, they immediately won the trust of the American people.
As an ordinary American, you will see that many millionaires and political elites have saved their lives by taking a panacea. If this is the case, then this medicine must be real.
Therefore, panacea has been promoted in the United States. Now in the upper reaches of American society, doctors will immediately recommend patients to use panacea as long as the condition is slightly serious.
As a result, the panacea purchased by David Ford was quickly sold out. This transaction earned him a profit of one hundred thousand dollars.
David Ford took advantage of the situation this time and naturally wanted more profits, so he rushed back to the Qing Dynasty without stopping to buy more panacea.
At this time in the Qing Dynasty, the market for panacea was also fully opened, because after all, sulfonamide is a good medicine for treating diseases, and its exact efficacy has been tested by history.
Liu Hai made huge profits from the sales of compound-sulfamethoxazole tablets. The 100 kilograms of compound-sulfamethoxazole tablets were quickly sold out. Liu Hai made a total profit of 4 million taels of silver from this sales of the drug.
.
This is a crazy number. You must know that the total annual funding of the Beiyang Navy and the Nanyang Navy is only four million taels of silver.
Liu Hai earned a year's worth of funding for the Nanyang Navy and the Beiyang Navy within a few months.
With money, Liu Hai's army will naturally be much more relaxed.
First of all, the armored cruiser Jiangsu has begun to go to sea for training every other day as usual, and the training ammunition and live ammunition used by the Jiangsu are also continuously shipped from the United Kingdom.
Another one is that after Liu Hai got rich, he directly purchased a large piece of land near the Nanyang Navy Yamen and began to carry out large-scale construction. He wanted to build a magnificent Suzhou Forest Garden here.
Regarding Liu Hai's intention to build such a luxurious residence in Shanghai, various parties have different reactions. To the old people in the officialdom, Liu Hai is just like a young and arrogant person.
As for Zeng Yuying's bangs family, they applauded it with both hands, because Zeng Yuying had been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child, but after she arrived in Shanghai, she stayed with her bangs in a small courtyard for such a long time. Now her bangs finally
She started building a house, which filled her with the desire to improve her housing life.
After Liu Hai arranged things in the Qing Dynasty, he started time travel again, and returned to modern times with his gains in the Qing Dynasty.
Liu Hai had two purposes for returning to modern times this time. One was to purchase Co-trimoxazole tablets on a large scale, and the other was to sell the oil he had accumulated during this period.
It is very easy to buy compound sulfamethoxazole tablets. Liu Hai bought a ton of the product at once. He thought that these products would be enough for the Qing Dynasty to sell them for at least a month.
As for why it sold so fast, it is because as the reputation of Panacea became more and more popular, merchants from all over the country came to purchase it. Even Lafayette, who was in the royal family, had heard of the name of Panacea, so
Eunuchs were specially sent to Shanghai to purchase.
What's left is oil. It's not easy to hide this. After all, this is in Xia Kingdom, not Madagascar.
But before Liu Hai could think of any solution, Zhang Tao called him.
When he first received the call from Zhang Tao, Liu Hai felt frightened. As soon as he came back, he got a call from the other side. If there was nothing fishy about it, even a ghost would not believe it.
But the other party had already called, and Liu Hai had no choice but to pick up the call. As soon as Liu Hai answered the phone, Zhang Tao's hearty voice came over.
"Mr. Liu, I heard that you are in China now. We can get together when you have time."
When Liu Hai heard this, he smiled bitterly. What didn't he understand? It seemed that the other party had discovered something fishy about him. Otherwise, it would have been unreasonable for him to be in China as soon as he returned to China.
