My girlfriend is from 1949

Chapter 192 A Money-Making Business: Ammunition Depot!

"Giving it to those who need it, that's no problem."

Zheng Changlin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the explanation.

As long as it's not food, everything is fine.

For a man, the worst thing is to be told he's no good!

People are especially sensitive to this kind of thing when they reach middle age.

Even if it's just before going to bed at night, grab a handful of goji berries and go all out!

The next day, when chatting with friends, they would boast about how energetic and lively they were!

"Then what is this...?" Zheng Changlin narrowed his eyes, still puzzled.

Since it's a qualified drug for market in the future world, why do we need to find people to test it?

Could it be that Comrade Huai'an was born with a kind heart and came to the Republic of China to help others?

However, based on Comrade Qingzhu's description, he is not that kind of person.

Especially when negotiating business, you will never be taken advantage of or lose out.

Such a person, deliberately carrying special medicine to do good deeds... Zheng Changlin simply didn't believe it.

Chen Huai'an pulled Zheng Changlin aside and asked in a low voice.

"Do you know how much Viagra will sell for in the future?"

"How many?"

"When we first started importing them, the annual profit was 1 billion yuan, while the average wage was only 500 yuan! In twenty years, global sales have exceeded 2 billion units!"

"So many!" Zheng Changlin's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Through comparison during this period, I also learned about the prices in the future world.

He also knew that in the early days, per capita income was low and the value of currency was higher.

10 billion yuan, that's a terrifying number.

Seeing that he understood the value of money, Chen Huai'an then raised one finger.

"A few years later, my country produced a similar drug using the same formula."

With price fluctuations, one pill now costs 40 yuan.

In China alone, sales reach over 1 million units per year!

This is just our domestic sales volume. If we include global sales, the number will be even larger!

I plan to give it a try and see if this medicine is effective for people here.

Ideally, we should find a few foreigners to try.

If it works well, I'll buy more and export it to foreigners too!

In this era, we are truly unique!

"Then we can earn foreign exchange by selling medicine, and use that money to buy oil, minerals, advanced machinery, and food!"

The country is now extremely poor, and its foreign exchange reserves are pitifully low.

Chen Huai'an had consulted the data and found that even in the year following the founding of the People's Republic of China, the foreign exchange reserves were only US$1.5 million.

At that time, the country had just been established, its economic foundation was weak, and it faced economic blockade from Western countries.

Foreign exchange sources mainly rely on exports of agricultural and mineral products, remittances from overseas Chinese, and a small amount of international loans, and the overall situation is "tight".

By 1951, its foreign exchange reserves had plummeted to a mere $0.45 billion.

For the next decade or so, it never reached $2 million.

Even if I wanted to buy things from other countries, I wouldn't have the money.

Therefore, Chen Huai'an was constantly thinking about how to make money.

Selling future science and technology is definitely not an option.

Even if they lie and claim that the supplies are provided by a mysterious overseas force, it's just a one-off deal.

Once foreign companies buy the samples, we won't be able to make any money from them anymore.

Moreover, it will accelerate the breakthrough, which is detrimental to oneself.

However, selling medicine is not a big problem.

Medicines for male enhancement are precisely the safest.

Especially after the Korean War, the country demonstrated its formidable strength.

It's highly unlikely that the US and the Soviet Union would rashly launch a war over a mere tonic.

Even if foreign countries impose blockades on us, we will still trade as long as it is something they need.

Just like how the West shouts for sanctions against Russia, aren't they also secretly buying natural gas?

This domestically produced miracle drug would be extremely popular with foreigners if exported.

It's not surprising that our great nation of China, with its five thousand years of civilization, has some inherited imperial secret recipes, is it?

Director Zheng's eyes lit up after hearing the story.

Their eyes lit up when they looked at the tiny pills.

If it could really be as described, it would greatly alleviate the predicament of tight foreign exchange reserves.

He asked cautiously, "Is the purchase price of this medicine very expensive?"

Chen Huai'an thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "The retail price is 40 yuan. After deducting the profits of pharmacies and distributors, if you get the goods directly from the source, you can get them for around 4 yuan per tablet!"

He knew the ins and outs of the pharmaceutical industry all too well.

Actually, the ex-factory price is not high, but both primary and secondary distributors need to make a profit, and pharmaceutical companies need to make a profit as well.

When the product reaches the pharmacy, the price increases many times over.

If the profit margin is less than 50% of the retail price, it only deserves to be placed on the bottom shelf!

"With 25 billion people in the world today, imagine how much foreign exchange we could earn if we could export to the entire globe!"

Zheng Changlin's eyes lit up, and even he, usually so calm, trembled slightly with excitement.

He said impatiently, "I'll arrange for people to try the drug right now!"

After giving a few instructions, he couldn't wait to arrange the drug trial.

The country is too poor now. If we can earn a lot of foreign exchange for the country, that would be a great achievement!

Chen Huai'an watched the departing figure and a smile appeared on his face.

If it works for foreigners, we'll contact the manufacturer and buy ten million tablets directly!

Originally, these were goods that foreigners sold to the Chinese, but in the Republic of China era, they were sold to the West, making money off the West.

I'm getting a little excited just thinking about it!

Lin Wan quickly completed the handover of the supplies.

Having received orders long ago, the soldiers waiting outside began moving the goods.

First, there was the canned food. Except for a batch that was kept for the cooks to heat up, the rest were all taken to the headquarters.

Just then, Old Zhang, who had disappeared somewhere, came over.

He laughed and said, "The director ordered me to take Comrade Huai'an to the shooting range in the back mountain to practice shooting."

"Can we play with guns now?" Chen Huai'an raised an eyebrow, his face showing excitement.

For Chinese people, even handling a real gun is a very difficult thing.

Although there are legal firing ranges in China, they are strictly managed.

Some venues require two guarantors from other companies or a letter of introduction from your employer.

Military standard equipment and automatic weapons are prohibited from being tested; only 9mm pistols or small-caliber 22L civilian guns are allowed.

Even so, these demolition equipment were modified to limit their power.

That's why so many people spend money to travel abroad and experience legal venues.

Many girls will even go to the Goose Island specifically to experience the fun of automatic weapons.

Even girls like it, let alone boys.

Chen Huai'an happily got into the car and drove along the newly built road to the shooting range behind the mountain.

Wang Hai and several soldiers responsible for protection had already prepared their weapons.

Old Zhang pointed to one of the boxes and said, "This is for your target practice today!"

Then, pointing to another box, he said, "Director Zheng said that you are being followed in the future world, so he asked you to prepare some self-defense tools. I prepared the same set."

Chen Huai'an glanced at the contents of the ammunition box.

Maxim heavy machine gun, grease gun, flower gun, Mauser pistol, and two American-made hand grenades!

There was even a bazooka rocket launcher at the bottom of the box!

A typical arsenal of weapons from all over the world!

Good heavens, this is driving me crazy!

The thought of bringing this small ammunition depot to the modern world sent chills down Chen Huai'an's spine.

This is enough to make it the number one case in 2025!
