Chapter 365 Hesitation is a price to pay
Chapter 365: Hesitation comes at a price
Penicillin will have an effect of seeing the shadow immediately. Hu Yunfeng expected that people today have never used penicillin before and no antibodies are produced in their bodies, so using penicillin will have a quick effect. Hu Yunfeng estimated that if he was used on him, there would not be much effect without millions of units of penicillin, not to mention that it was the original penicillin, which was used in later generations.
Hitler believed that the medicine brought by Hu Yunfeng would be effective, and he also believed that the Hu Yunfeng would bring miracles to Germany again. However, seeing the expression of the private doctor who came to the report, he understood that the medicine brought by Hu Yunfeng called penicillin must be the most urgently needed by Germany.
"Head of the People's Republic of China, the doctors in the hospital hope to get penicillin. I also need to store a batch of penicillin here." Hitler was thinking about how to negotiate with Hu Yunfeng, his personal doctor said.
Hu Yunfeng pretended not to hear them talking. He held a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand and a big mouthful of chewing bread, making Hitler, who was looking at him, want to laugh. This guy did it on purpose, and I'm afraid he had already counted how much gold he could earn.
"Have you used up all 50 penicillin?" Hitler asked, wiping his mouth with his napkin.
His private doctor glanced at Hu Yunfeng and replied, "It's almost done, and I've left five to be sent to the laboratory for inspection."
Hitler was very distressed. 50 pieces of 2,500 grams of gold would be gone so soon. If it was used on the battlefield, all the gold in Germany would be given to this guy, and the penicillin needed by Germany might not be able to buy enough penicillin needed by Germany.
Hu Yunfeng also smiled and took the napkin and wiped his mouth, but he kneaded the napkin into a ball and wiped it casually. He said, "What else can I test? Take it to save people. Penicillin is not a new thing. The key to getting penicillin is the production method."
"My friend, can I share the production method with Germany?" Hitler said after signaling his personal doctor out.
Hu Yunfeng shook his head and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, the head of state, this is my patent. If you can make all German research institutions open to me, I can consider it."
Blackmail was Hu Yunfeng's usual practice. Hitler knew very well what Hu Yunfeng had liked Germany again. He asked: "What do you want from Germany?"
Hu Yunfeng wanted to get a lot of things from Germany, but unfortunately, Germany's jet fighter jets, rockets and other things had not been made yet. Hu Yunfeng was thinking carefully about what Germany had urgently needed now? Now there is a sea between the Soviet port, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia, and he must rely on the navy in the future. He said: "I need Germany's most advanced steelmaking technology."
Germany cooperated with the Soviet Port to invest in several steel smelting plants, but Hu Yunfeng believed that Germany did not give him the best technology. In the future, whether it is shipbuilding, aircraft or guns and cannons, it is inevitable to build good steel. Hu Yunfeng thought about it and still wanted to get Germany's best steel technology as soon as possible.
Hitler calculated and thought it was still very cost-effective to exchange penicillin production technology. Steel technology could continue to develop, but the life of German soldiers was only once. He agreed to exchange penicillin production technology with steel technology.
But Hu Yunfeng did not plan to use the production technology of penicillin for steel technology. Penicillin will be exclusively traded in the next few years, and steel technology cannot be obtained from Germany, and the United States and Britain can find ways to get it. He said: "Head of the People's Republic of China, one penicillin is worth 50 grams of gold, and I brought 100,000 penicillin, worth 5 million grams of gold, totaling 5,000 tons of gold. Germany exchanged 10 grams of gold and steel smelting technology for my 100,000 penicillin."
Hitler was immediately unhappy and started to buy 50 pieces of penicillin for Hu Yunfeng with 50 grams of gold. That was for him to give Hu Yunfeng face. Unexpectedly, Hu Yunfeng actually treated him as a fool and really wanted to sell 50 grams of gold each.
Hitler said: "My friend, there is no such expensive medicine in the world, and what I need is the production technology of penicillin."
Hu Yunfeng prescribed 50 grams of gold penicillin, which is not unfounded. If he did not produce penicillin in advance, and after a few years, it would be necessary for a gold bar to be exchanged for a penicillin in China.
Hu Yunfeng's smile also disappeared from his face, saying, "Head of State, we are not in a hurry to trade. I will let you see if penicillin is worth fifty grams of gold. I spent two years producing 200,000 penicillin. I didn't want to sell it, but when I saw that Germany was going to attack the Soviet Union, in order to save German soldiers, I even stopped supplying China and provided half to Germany. This friendship is worth 5,000 tons of gold."
After Hu Yunfeng finished speaking, he said goodbye to Hitler, and Hitler did not continue to talk. Others wanted to see how Hu Yunfeng proved it.
After leaving the German Chancellor's Office, Hu Yunfeng visited some German generals he knew and gave each general several penicillin. Then, under the arrangement of Canaris, he ordered Qi Yanming to give a total of 500 penicillin to the German Team Hospital and the Berlin Hospital. When giving it, he also hinted that this medicine was tried by Hitler himself.
Given to the German team, Hu Yunfeng wanted to prove that penicillin has a very good effect on controlling wound infection. When gifted to the Berlin Hospital, Hu Yunfeng designated the 250 penicillin he sent to treat tuberculosis and syphilis. Hu Yunfeng knew that before penicillin came out, patients with tuberculosis were almost sentenced to death. For those who wanted to survive, they would not care even if they spent a lot of money. They only knew that penicillin had a very good effect on tuberculosis and syphilis, so German patients would naturally come to look for penicillin treatment. At that time, as long as he hyped a little, the price would definitely soar. Even if he didn't need to hype it up, someone would come to ask for a penicillin.
Hu Yunfeng estimated that the effect would appear within a week. Hu Yunfeng thought too long, and the penicillin he gave to the German team hospital that day was used up. After spending three days to give dozens of tuberculosis and syphilis patients, it was miraculous for the treatment of these two diseases. Many news spread. On the fourth day, German patients who found Berlin Hospital to treat tuberculosis and syphilis were lined up, but at this time the penicillin of the Berlin Hospital had been used up. Hu Yunfeng found several Germans from the mercenary company to pretend to be patients and post a high price to buy penicillin. Then Berlin newspapers were full of advertisements for buying penicillin at a high price, and the highest price had been paid to $1,000 per tube.
Similarly, the penicillin given to the German team was once again proved by German doctors that it was miraculously effective in controlling wound infections and was the best medicine to save German soldiers. German doctors immediately asked the hospital to purchase a large amount of money. However, the hospital could no longer find Qi Yanming, so it could only report it layer by layer. The general who got Hu Yunfeng's penicillin quickly learned that they knew it was the medicine brought by Hu Yunfeng, and they asked Hitler to purchase medicines from Hu Yunfeng. During this period, many German generals who got the penicillin given to Hu Yunfeng were using their families to sell the penicillin earned by Hu Yunfeng to those who came to the newspaper for purchase, and also obtained a considerable amount of wealth.
Hitler's table was filled with reports requesting the purchase of penicillin. Every time he met with a German general in the past few days, each of his generals would ask him to purchase penicillin immediately prepare for the attack on the Soviet Union.
Hitler also saw the advertisement in the newspaper that 4,000 gold marks were equivalent to 1,000 US dollars to buy penicillin. Only then did he believe that Hu Yunfeng did not lie to him. The penicillin of 4,000 gold marks was far more than the price of 50 grams of gold marks. This was still in the Berlin area. If Hu Yunfeng sold the penicillin he brought to the world, Hitler would not dare to imagine how much the price would be raised.
Hu Yunfeng was once again invited by Hitler from Canaris's house to the German Chancellor's Office. Hitler looked at Hu Yunfeng who was trying hard to hide his complacent and regretted not reaching a deal with him a few days ago. Now that Hu Yunfeng looks, Hitler probably will lose more. This guy is so hateful, but he did give Germany a lot of help. Hitler was angry and could only swallow it.
Hitler asked Hu Yunfeng to sit down and made people pour him coffee. He hated the smokers very much, but this time he personally handed Hu Yunfeng the best Cuban cigar and said, "My friend, according to your conditions, Germany buys the penicillin on your hands with 10 grams of gold and the most advanced steel technology."
It is impossible for Hu Yunfeng to raise prices without sitting there. He lit the cigar and sucked a few times before he slowly said: "I'm sorry, Master, I'll save enough 100,000 penicilliums by the end of the year before I sell it to Germany. An American businessman contacted me for this batch of penicillium and was willing to purchase it for 80 grams of gold."
It was guessed that Hu Yunfeng might have been on the ground to raise the price, and Hitler had no choice. However, he saw that Hu Yunfeng finally showed his compulsiveness, and wondered if Hu Yunfeng had already sold penicillin to the Americans. He said anxiously: "My friend, the United States is helping the British. If you sell it to the Americans, you are helping our enemies."
Hu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "No, I have reached an agreement with American merchants. This batch of penicillin can only be sold domestically in the United States, and can only be used for private purposes, cannot be exported or provided to the US military and other countries."
Bastard, Hitler regretted and blamed Hu Yunfeng for ignoring the friendship between him and Germany. Hitler said: "Where is penicillin? Has it been shipped in the United States?"
Hu Yunfeng said: "The Americans have not delivered gold to me yet, and penicillin is still in Amsterdam."
"Is our friendship not as good as you and our potential enemies?" Hitler breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the penicillin had not been transported to the United States, and said: "Germany uses 15 grams of gold and steel technology."
"Head of the People, I have figured it out now. I can get 80 tons of gold when I sell it to Americans, which is enough for me to acquire several large American steel companies." Hu Yunfeng lowered his head and bounced the ashes, glanced at Hitler before looking up.
Hitler said with a stern face: "My friend, Germany has been sincerely helping you. Germany is about to attack the Soviet Union to help you conquer the Far East. We are not only good neighbors and good partners in the future. Do you have to watch the young German soldiers die because of their injuries and no medicine to treat them?"
Hu Yunfeng suddenly looked solemn, and then regretted: "Yes, Master, you reminded me that saving the lives of German soldiers is more important than money. I decided to sell penicillin to Germany with every 25 grams of gold and steel."
Seeing that Hitler was about to bargain again, Hu Yunfeng continued: "This is the first batch of medicines. I want to recover the cost and continue to invest in research. The second batch will be sold for Germany within two months, with 15 grams of gold per piece, the third batch will be sold for 10 grams of gold at the end of the year, and the fourth batch and the future will be sold to Germany with 5 grams of gold. What do you think?"
If Hu Yunfeng can reduce the price to about 5 grams of gold, this price in Germany is still acceptable. Hitler thought for a while and said, "I can accept this plan, but we will trade it with German goldmarks from the second batch."
Hu Yunfeng expressed his "embarrassment" and said: "First of the People's Republic of China, Vietnam, Indonesia and Australia are all about to develop, and they need to purchase a large amount of machinery and equipment from abroad. I am afraid I can't accept the German Jinmak."
"Germany can provide you with machinery and equipment." Hitler said.
I want to buy German machinery and equipment, but your attack on the Soviet Union has been concentrated on the arms last year. Can you have time to produce machinery and equipment for me? Hu Yunfeng curled his lips and said, "The war between Germany and the Soviet Union is approaching. I guess the German factories don't have time to produce machinery and equipment for me. Let's trade it in gold."
Hu Yunfeng originally wanted to agree, but he thought that Germany had seized so much gold by its allies after its defeat in history. He refused. Instead of taking advantage of the United States, it would be better to plunder all the gold from Germany into his pocket.
Hitler knew Germany's industrial capacity, and Germany was not short of gold now, but he was unwilling to think that Hu Yunfeng would take away German gold with just one medicine. However, when Hu Yunfeng was unwilling to transfer penicillin production technology, he mastered penicillin alone, and Hitler was helpless.
"Okay, my friend, we've made a deal." Hitler had hesitated whether to destroy Hu Yunfeng after conquering the Soviet Union. However, at this time, Hitler did not hesitate at all. He decided to wait until conquering the Soviet Union, imprisoning the contract with the United States and Britain to sign a treaty favorable to Germany, and then deal with Hu Yunfeng and take back what Hu Yunfeng had blackmailed from Germany.
Hu Yunfeng and Hitler made a deal, but he asked Hitler to trade cash in spot trading in the name of urgent needing money. The 2,500 tons of gold is very large, but Germany, which has robbed Europe, is not short of this gold. Hu Yunfeng is not afraid that Germany will fool him with fake iron and steel technology. He can cut off the supply of penicillin to Germany at any time.
After Germany and Hu Yunfeng's secret transactions were completed in Amsterdam, Hu Yunfeng arranged the technical information of gold and iron and steel to send it to Australia, he hurried to the UK.
Germany will attack the Soviet Union in three days. He will sit in front of Churchill and wait for the news to reach Britain, which will make Churchill believe that he has a huge influence on Hitler and Germany. It will make Churchill dare not deal with him easily before Germany has no obvious signs of defeat. Of course, he has left 50,000 penicillin, so he has to fool Churchill.
He came to London again for Hu Yunfeng, a nasty despicable guy. Churchill hated and longed for Hu Yunfeng to give Britain some help. It would be best that he could allow Germany to attack the Soviet Union immediately and relieve the pressure on Britain. At the same time, Churchill obtained information from Germany that Germany produced a new drug that was very effective in controlling wound infections and treating tuberculosis. Churchill wanted to get specific information from Hu Yunfeng.
"General, you are very welcome to London." Churchill pretended to welcome him.
Hu Yunfeng walked into Churchill's office, first took a cigar on Churchill's desk and lit it. After sitting down, he said, "You're welcome, Mr. Prime Minister, please sit down."
Hu Yunfeng almost sat in Churchill's seat, and the others were no different from his home. His master's expression made Churchill curse himself as a "rude rogue".
"General, what good news do you want to bring to the UK this time?" Churchill despised Hu Yunfeng, and also lit a cigar and sat in his office seat. He felt like he was the owner of the place and came back again.
Hu Yunfeng laughed and said, "Prime Minister, Britain has repented again and again. Please tell me when the equipment of ten divisions can be given to me?"
"Don't you know?" Churchill said in surprise: "The day after you escorted British and American merchant ships to Britain, five divisions of equipment were sent to Australia."
After hearing this, Hu Yunfeng did not show a look of surprise, but said very dissatisfied: "I remember you said you would hand over all the equipment of ten divisions to me in May, right?"
Jichuul said: "It was delayed because of the Australian affairs."
Jichul's meaning is very obvious, it is all caused by you. Hu Yunfeng spitted a sip of smoke into the sky and said, "Time is life, the Prime Minister seems to not understand this truth. If I asked Hitler to postpone the attack on the Soviet Union, will the British life let the Prime Minister understand this truth?"
"Is Germany going to attack the Soviet Union?" Churchill didn't care about Hu Yunfeng's threat, but he heard another message revealed in Hu Yunfeng's words. He stood up in surprise and asked.
Hu Yunfeng snorted and said, "If you send three armored division equipment to Australia tomorrow, I will immediately let Germany attack the Soviet Union. The equipment of the other two armored divisions will be sent to Australia within five days. Otherwise, even if the German soda starts, I will have a way to get them to cease fire."
"General, it is the equipment of the infantry division." Jichuur thought Hu Yunfeng had remembered the wrong thing and corrected the truth.
Hu Yunfeng shook his head and said, "Britain has repeatedly breached the contract and has now become an armored division. Of course, you can continue to let the lives of the British teach you how time is life. I will go to Germany to discuss with Hitler tomorrow about Germany stopping the attack on the Soviet Union."
Churchill said decisively: "General, can you tell me again, is Germany going to attack the Soviet Union?"
"I don't want to tell the military secrets, but I can tell you that I was discussing something with Hitler in Berlin a few days ago." Hu Yunfeng said in a smoke ring.
