Invincible from the sword

Chapter 473 One percent, a little less

At the request of Chain, the company's drug laboratory underwent a large-scale renovation.

In the current company laboratory, there are more than 1000 R&D personnel alone.

In order to develop penicillin as quickly as possible, Zhang Lei raised the salaries of these researchers to a terrifying $[-] per month.

This kind of salary is the highest in the lighthouse country.

This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of these R & D personnel.

All of them are like chicken blood.

I can't wait to be in the laboratory 24 hours a day.

And these thousand R&D personnel are all young people.

They are all elite personnel selected from various universities.

Qian En, an honest man, has no heart at all.

When recruiting students for schools in the Lighthouse Country, the salary was written in the most conspicuous place.

Under normal circumstances, these newly graduated students only spend two to three hundred dollars a month in the lighthouse country.

The awesome school is only four hundred dollars.

Now that Qian En directly offers a huge salary of [-] U.S. dollars, the school students in the entire Beacon Country are going crazy.

Even the teachers from the school came to ask if they could join Zhang Lei's company.

Under the influence of money, it was very easy to recruit these 1000 people.

And there are a steady stream of newcomers coming in behind.

This brought great convenience to Qian En's research and development work.

When Chain was in Kangaroo Country, the research had already made some progress.

Now with the assistance of these people and huge financial support, Qian's research and development work is progressing very fast.

In less than half a month, Qian En had already doubled the extraction speed of penicillin.

At the same time, the extracted penicillin is also more stable.

According to this trend, a stable method for extracting penicillin can be developed in a maximum of two months.

The R&D work went so smoothly, which greatly inspired Grumman Jr.

As a businessman in the Lighthouse Country, Little Grumman has a very sensitive nose.

This drug can be called a miracle drug.

At that time, this drug will be more sought-after than gold.

The thoughtful little Grumman immediately discussed with Zhang Lei whether he could increase his shareholding by a little bit.

Even if it increases to ten percent, that's fine.

This one percent is a little less.

Regarding Little Grumman's request, Zhang Lei felt that it was not a big problem.

However, Grumman Jr. had to trade for something.

Forget the money.

As long as Qian En's penicillin stable extraction method is successfully developed, Zhang Lei's money will be a huge amount in one day.

In half a year at most, the funds he owns may surpass that of Grumman Jr.

Although Grumman's arms business was profitable and profitable, it was nothing compared to the drug business.

Zhang Lei said to Grumman Jr., "It's not a big problem.

But Xiaoge, you have to use things from your armory in exchange. "

arsenal?
Little Grumman froze for a moment.

I can understand the meaning of Zhang Lei's words a little bit.

Zhang Lei continued: "Xiao Ge, you should understand what I mean.

My identity is the Eighth Route Army.

is a soldier.

Now my country is being invaded by island countries.

And the equipment of our Eighth Route Army is really bad.

Can you imagine?
In our troops, there is less than one gun for three people on average.

In war, if the bullets can be divided into five rounds, it is considered too much.

Most of the time, our troops can only fight the Japanese army with big knives.

This is still our regular unit of the Eighth Route Army.

As for our local troops, the equipment is even worse.

Now our Eighth Route Army needs a lot of equipment to fight the Japanese army.

So now I have to find a way to get some weapons and equipment as much as possible.

You have several arsenals.

It can produce not only fighter jets, but also tanks and artillery as well as rifles.

I don't want too much, as long as you can give me two rifle production lines.

Meanwhile, give me another bullet production line.

If you can meet my conditions, then I can increase your shares in Johnson & Johnson to [-]%.

Xiaoge, this is a huge profit for you. "

Little Grumman was very tangled.

Zhang Lei's request is not a big problem for him.

Just a production line for rifles and bullets.

There is no shortage of production lines in his arsenal.

Even several old production lines are idle.

But the problem is that these production lines are not something he can just give to Zhang Lei if he wants to.

These things are all under the supervision of the lighthouse country's weapons and equipment department.

If the production line disappears inexplicably, he, Little Grumman, is likely to be convicted of treason.

The current world situation is so tense, and the lighthouse country has very strict supervision on these machines and equipment.

Even old production lines must be approved by the weapons and equipment department before they can be sold.

Little Grumman frowned, very embarrassed.

"Head Zhang, your request is not high.

But this matter, I can't decide by myself.

This requires approval.

However, I'm willing to give it a try.

But I must declare that even if the approval is obtained, the rifle production line cannot be the latest.

There is a high possibility that it will be a production line that has been eliminated.

My most optimistic estimate is the production line of the M1913 rifle.

As for the production line of Garand semi-automatic rifles, it is impossible. "

Zhang Lei nodded.

This he can accept.

Little Grumman's words are not moisture.

The most advanced rifle in the Beacon Country is the Garand.

The semi-automatic rifle is now in full production.

But still can not meet the needs of the troops.

In the current Lighthouse Army, only the first-line troops are equipped with Garand semi-automatic rifles.

The rest of the troops are basically M1913 bolt-action rifles.

Moreover, the Garand semi-automatic rifle produced by the Lighthouse Country will also support the Queen Country, Maple Leaf Country and Kangaroo Country.

In addition, now that the Lighthouse Kingdom is preparing to open a second battlefield with the Queen Kingdom in Europe, the demand for Garand semi-automatic rifles is very large.

It is simply impossible to have a production line for this rifle.

Even if Wheelchair Luo agrees, it is estimated that Congress will oppose it.

M1913 bolt-action rifle...

Zhang Lei thought for a while.

Although this kind of gun is much worse than the Garand semi-automatic rifle, it is better than nothing.

It would be nice if a production line of such rifles could be established.

Zhang Lei said to Little Grumman: "Yes.

But this bolt-action rifle is so outdated, you'll have to give me another batch of mortars and shells.

This should be fine for you, right?

I don't want too much, [-] mortars.

Add another 200 million rounds. "

How many! ?
Little Grumman's eyeballs almost flew out.

Ten thousand mortars! ?

200 million rounds?

Zhang, are you kidding me?
Little Grumman said in pain: "Commander Zhang, this is simply impossible.

Ten thousand mortars, that's too many.

At that time, the weapons and equipment department of the Lighthouse Country will investigate, and my factory will have to close down. "

Zhang Lei's attitude was firm: "Little Grumman, you have to figure out how to do this yourself.

This is no problem for you.

What I gave you was [-]% of the shares.

Much more valuable than your mortars. "
