Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 966 You come to personally approve

Lin Ze didn't say anything, but stood up and took out a small box from the safe under the desk.

He walked over to the coffee table and pushed the box next to Gross.

"I wonder if Mr. Consul General has heard that in recent years, the Americans have been secretly developing an anti-inflammatory drug, penicillin."

Gross's expression suddenly changed!

If he was just a consul stationed in Tianjin, he would most likely not be qualified to know these things.

But he is now the Consul General of the German Far East and a big shot in the diplomatic field. He is qualified to receive situation briefings from Berlin.

What is the war about?

What we are fighting for are soldiers, weapons, resources, and medicines.

A good medicine can even determine the direction of a war.

Whether it is the Allies or countries like Germany, in addition to working hard to produce weapons and ammunition, they also work hard to develop and produce medicines.

Every war is a period of explosive birth of new drugs, not only because of the strong intervention from the upper will, but also because each drug can get a considerable number of experimental opportunities.

As for where these experimental opportunities come from, there is no need to explain.

Gross knew that penicillin was an anti-inflammatory drug that the Allies were focusing on developing, and anti-inflammatory drugs were the king of medicines on the battlefield today.

The biggest logistical problem for both sides is that many lightly wounded soldiers suffer from infection, fever, amputation and even lose their lives because they do not receive timely treatment and do not have appropriate medicines.

To put it more bluntly, if someone loses their life, it would be easy to deal with, but if they have to undergo amputation due to infection, what should they do next?

To raise or not to raise?

Things like assault tablets can drive soldiers crazy, but they can't be used every day. If used too much, the side effects will be very obvious.

But penicillin is a life-saving medicine and a strategic material comparable to gold!

Gross asked sharply, "Lin, do you have connections in America?"

Lin Ze smiled and said, "Why don't you find someone to try this thing out first?"

Gross shook his head. "Lin, you would never deceive me with fake things. The information you provided me was all true, and the supplies were genuine. There's no reason for you to lie to me about something so important."

Look, this is word of mouth.

Reputation is not formed in a day or two, just like the largest military contracting companies in later generations. Don’t other forces want to establish such paramilitary forces?

It's not that we don't want to, but we can't. Having the support of several big gangsters is one aspect, but the reputation maintained through long-term cooperation is more important. This is a tacit attitude of mutual trust.

In the Military Control Commission, no matter how important the intelligence obtained by other spies was, it had to be screened and verified.

What if you rashly believe it and cause heavy losses?

But the Golden Buddha didn't need to. Even if the Golden Buddha sent news that he treated the Emperor like a dog, no one from Boss Dai to Shen Xing would not believe it.

"Thank you for your trust. This is a rare gift, but the more valuable something is, the more it reflects your ability..."

Gross's eyes lit up. "Can we get the equipment and technology..."

Lin Ze interrupted him, "It's already quite difficult to get the drugs, and the equipment and technology are out of the question. That kind of thing is beyond my ability, and neither is it within yours. Besides, your country is probably already expediting research on this kind of thing. Sometimes, a technological breakthrough is just a matter of time."

Gross was suddenly shocked when he heard this.

Yes!

The medicines they produced were shocking and enviable enough, but even a consul general in the Far East couldn't control the equipment and technology.

Several major countries are engaged in a pharmaceutical competition. Germany can definitely produce penicillin now. The only difference is between laboratory preparation and industrial production. As long as they cannot achieve industrial production, even if Lin Ze sells this drug at the price of gold, no, even if it is more than the price of gold, they will still have to buy it.

German soldiers might not be able to afford such expensive medicine, but what about German officers? German generals? German nobles?

These officers, generals, nobles, and relatives, don't they ever have a fever due to infection...

Lin Ze only cared about selling the medicine. He didn't care who paid for the medicine or who used it.

"Lin, you're right. Let's not think about things that are beyond our capabilities. Now let's talk about pricing."

It is said that Germans are more rigorous and simple, but this guy Gross once again refreshed Lin Ze's perception of him.

Lin Ze originally planned to charge by unit, but Gross waved his hand and suggested charging by "injection" and trying to reduce the concentration in each injection or each vial.

Originally, one injection could cure the disease, but now one injection is enough to let him see the effect. As long as he sees the effect, he will buy a second injection.

One needle costs one ounce of gold. Of course, this is the "landed price". Lin Ze will leave 10% space for Gross.

Gross originally wanted to get more, but Lin Ze said seriously, "You know the value of this thing, and you also understand how difficult it is to obtain it. From the United States to Shanghai, and from Shanghai to Tianjin, there are too many people to manage at every step. What I can get is not even as much as you."

Gross believed it.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of network Lin Ze used to get this thing from the United States, especially after a life-and-death battle in the Pacific, why could they transport this thing here?

However, he did not ask the question in his mind because it would seem unprofessional.

After seeing Gross off, Linze went to the construction site again.

After the construction site hospital was built, it directly improved the medical and health level of tens of thousands of people on the construction site. At the beginning of the year, when the Japanese occupied the concession, many foreign doctors who were homeless and unable to return home were brought to this place by Lin Ze.

The level of doctors at the Port Hospital construction site is now considered to be among the best in North China. In the future, they would be worthy of being recognized as a regional medical center.

Lin Ze inspected the area and then called Zhou Xuejin into his office.

"Xue Jin, opening a hospital is a small matter, but managing medicines is a big deal. Many of the drugs in the pharmacy are very sensitive. They're in short supply in the south and the west. If someone with ulterior motives gets their hands on them, you and I will both be held responsible. I'll be shipping a batch of special anti-inflammatory drugs in a couple of days. Listen, from now on, you will be in charge of the pharmacy yourself. All drug use must be approved by you personally. If anything goes wrong, I'll hold you accountable. Do you understand?"

Zhou Xuejin: Ah?

His mind was full of these key words: special anti-inflammatory drugs, managed by you personally, and approved by you personally...

Xiao Zhou's eyes were red, "Yes!"
