...

After dinner that day, Courtman and the other two chatted with Zhao Zhenzhong and Zhou Hao for a while, then went to the guest room to rest with burps. Since the stock market plummeted on October 24, the tragic experience of the stock market in the last month has long made Courtman and the other two tired. Now, from Zhao Zhenzhong, I have seen hope of rising again soon. The nervous nerves that have been tense for many days have suddenly relaxed. In addition, they have had enough wine and meals, Courtman and the other two are naturally sleepy soon.

After the three of them left to rest, Zhou Hao said to Zhao Zhenzhong with some excitement: "Old Zhao, I didn't expect that the people these guys knew were really amazing."

"Yes. I didn't expect that they would still know Quezon. That was the first president of the Philippines after the United States recognized the Philippines' 'autonomous' in the 1930s. I still learned from information about MacArthur during World War II." Zhao Zhenzhong nodded and said.

"It's not just this, but also the sir of Australia that Jack knew." Zhou Hao smiled, "If I guess correctly, this sir is likely to be the next Australian governor."

"Aren't the Australian governor of this era sent by the United Kingdom? How could it be an Australian-born Jew?" Zhao Zhenzhong said strangely.

"Then I don't know. But if there were no other Jewish jazz in Australia, I think my guess would be basically wrong." Zhou Hao scratched his head and explained: "I have read a book that introduced the history of Jews before, which lists the deeds of some famous Jewish people. Among them, a Jewish jazz born in Australia served as the governor of Australia in the early 1930s. I forgot what the man was named, and I only remember that he was the first Australian-born governor and the first Jewish governor in Australia."

"Haha, I didn't expect that there would be this relationship." Zhao Zhenzhong was stunned, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "There should be no problem to start a company in these two places. However, the sir Jack was talking about is not the governor of Australia yet. We might as well take this opportunity to work hard on him so that the governor can take more care of him in the future."

Zhou Hao smiled and nodded, and then remembered something again and asked, "By the way, Lao Zhao, the production capacity of these three production lines is quite amazing. If the workers are skilled and the raw materials are sufficient, it would be no problem to produce hundreds of thousands of guns per production line per year. We will leave one for the Zhigong Party and the others. Isn't it a bit too much to eat three production lines at once?"

"I am going to leave the m1903 production line for myself for these three production lines. After all, the rifles we purchased before were all m1903, and the logistics of this production line can be unified. The other two m1917 production lines are all for the Zhigong Party." Zhao Zhenzhong explained, "I also know that the production capacity of the two m1917 production lines of Remington and its subsidiary Eddstern is very large. It only takes about one and a half years before the end of the World War. Such a large output is indeed a bit big for the founding of the Zhigong Party in the Nanyang Kingdom, but we have to consider the needs of facing the Japanese war in the future."

"As for the time requirements, I hope that these production lines can be disassembled and loaded by the end of this year. Of course, it would be better if the three of them could prepare a certain amount of special steel before the end of the year. In addition, regarding the establishment of companies in Australia and the Philippines, we will finish the firearm production lines before the end of the year. Besides, the three of them should spend Christmas and New Year with their families before they can get more energetic to go abroad to work hard."

"Zhao, you're so thoughtful." White said gratefully when he heard Zhao Zhenzhong say that the three of them and their families would go abroad after the holiday. Although Courtman and Jack did not say it, they were also full of gratitude.

"One month is a bit tight, but it's not a big problem. Remington is in New York. Although the Eddiestern Arsenal is in Pennsylvania, it is a subsidiary of Remington. If Remington is finalized, the Eddiestern Arsenal has basically been decided. Besides, Eddiestern is not too far from New York City. The Springfield Arsenal is in Massachusetts, not far from Boston." Cotterman calculated, "It's better for the three of us to act separately. Jack has a relatively familiar relationship with the military arsenal, so he goes to the Springfield Arsenal and deal with the mortgage loans with the bank. I went to the Remington Company with White. If I need it, we two will go to the Eddiestern Arsenal. What do you think?"

Huaite agreed. Jack thought that Boston and Springfield Arsenal were indeed familiar with each other, so he nodded and said, "Okay, that's it. Zhao, just wait for our good news."

"Okay, let's leave professional matters to professionals, and I'm waiting for your good news. If you have any new situations or find any valuable news, we will contact us in time." Zhao Zhenzhong said with a smile.

After seeing off the three people, Zhao Zhenzhong felt much more relaxed. The familiar situation made Courtman and the other two come forward to acquire the arms production line not only not too noticeable, but also gained a certain advantage in price negotiations through their relationship. It was really a killing two birds with one stone. However, the easier it was not to say that Zhao Zhenzhong and the others could have free time now. In order to prepare for the sulfonamide medicine to be launched in early December, they naturally had some busyness.

Affected by the great crisis, the sulfonamide market seemed a bit low-key. In addition to a small advertisement on a page in the New York Times on December 1 to explain the efficacy and sales location of the drug, Zhao Zhenzhong and others did not promote it too much, and therefore did not attract too much attention. Of course, when the drug sales point opened in the downtown New York opened on December 1, the establishment of a lot of Situ, the old man from Situ, brought several figures from the Hongmen to support the event.

Perhaps it was because of insufficient publicity, or perhaps it was the crisis that made the people's nerves a little numb. Perhaps it was thought that the advertisement in the newspaper was exaggerating and talking to the sleep. Most people did not realize the value of sulfonamide drugs in this era, and the party was neglected within a few days after the drug sales point was opened. Zhou Tian didn't care much about this, but Li Yunlan, who had been doing a lot of effort in the production of sulfonamide, and Huang Wenli and the others were a little anxious. Fortunately, after Zhou Tian and others' persuasion, the two of them let go of their worries.

However, on December 3, Zhao Zhenzhong received a telegram from Jack: "Two production lines of the same type are the same, the prices are the same, and a new design is required. Do you want to do it? I hope to get it back!"
