Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

#129 - Arrival in the Capital

Main Plane, Jincheng.

"What? You want to make a million counterfeit silver dollars? Bro, what are you going to do? If they were antiques, they'd be worth something, but these brand-new, mechanically made coins are basically useless now. Impersonating antiques is illegal!" Liang Xiaofeng was stunned by Ren Zhong's latest request.

His radio business was booming, and he was well on his way to getting rich.

Each radio was priced at 10,000, and he had already sold over 560 units, with sales exceeding 5.6 million and a gross profit of over 2 million!

Although Ren Zhong took 400 of those sales, the remaining 160 or so were sold by Liang Xiaofeng through his own player network.

"We'll do an antique reproduction business. We'll just mark them as replicas. You just follow the format of the 23rd year of the Republic of China's 'Boat Coins.' I'll give you a sample later. Just make sure the composition and weight are consistent. Besides individual players, we can also sell them to those who make short videos and dramas as props. You don't have to worry about sales; I'll handle that," Ren Zhong said casually.

He had checked the information. Each 'Boat Coin' weighed 26.6971 grams, but the silver content was only 89%, with pure silver weighing only 23.493448 grams. At the current price of $24.9 per ounce of silver, the material cost of one coin was just over 140 yuan. Considering his current order of a million coins, the cost of mold development would be minimal.

The cost of customizing each coin might be controlled within 170 yuan. This way, the cost of customizing a million coins would be even less than originally imagined.

"Lao Ren, I'm not saying your idea is not feasible, but is this quantity too huge? A million silver dollars must weigh several tons. Can antique currency enthusiasts swallow that much?" Liang Xiaofeng was a little worried. After a rough calculation, he knew this investment would not be small.

"It doesn't matter. The big boss behind me will find a way to solve it," Ren Zhong could only bring out a fictitious background.

"Do you think I could make such a big investment on my own? The big boss behind me has an overseas background. Many of these will be sold overseas, including those radios you're making. It's pretty much the same thing."

Ren Zhong thought of a good destination for these soon-to-disappear goods—anything that couldn't be explained by normal logic could be solved with an overseas background.

This reason was simply perfect.

"Phew, so that's how it is. Then it's okay. I'll find a cooperative manufacturer as soon as possible. I don't think there's a big problem. Molds for this kind of thing aren't a big deal. We can probably get it done by finding some small mechanical mold factories. If we look for big factories, we'll need all sorts of explanations, which is troublesome." Liang Xiaofeng had gained a lot of experience and learned some tricks.

He had encountered many obstacles when customizing radios. After a series of setbacks and his own dedicated market research, Liang Xiaofeng was now much more experienced.

In larger cities like Lizhou, Mianzhou, and Rongcheng, Zhang Wanhe and the others had actually infiltrated penicillin, but the amount of transactions was not large. After all, Ren Zhong could only take out the goods when he arrived at the destination, and it was extremely difficult for Zhang Wanhe and the others to bring the goods over. Most of the time, they could only let the middlemen in these places earn the price difference.

But no matter what, the reputation of penicillin being more effective than sulfonamides had spread among the higher-ups.

This made Ren Zhong's secret transactions very successful along the way.

After arriving in Rongcheng, Ren Zhong boarded the horse in the suburbs.

After riding the horse for more than half a month, Ren Zhong felt that his legs and waist were no longer his own. It just so happened that there were buses from Rongcheng to Kuncheng, so Ren Zhong decided to abandon the horse and take the bus.

However, after Ren Zhong got on the bus of this era, he realized that he was reckless.

It was okay that the bus was a charcoal car, but the key was that the old road between the two places was nearly 1,000 miles long!

It was simply incomparable to the highways between the two places that Ren Zhong was familiar with.

The old-fashioned buses of this era were not only bumpy and noisy, but also as slow as turtles. It took Ren Zhong two days and one night to feel like his body was falling apart before he arrived in the mountain city.

After entering Lizhou, the inspections along the way became increasingly strict. When he arrived in Rongcheng, Ren Zhong simply took all the weapons back to the small courtyard in the main plane. This was how he arrived safely in the mountain city.

It's just that his identity has been completely transformed into a businessman. Except for Huzi, who followed him as a companion, the rest of the guards were scattered in groups of three or two, pretending to be fellow travelers.

If these people gathered together, it would be difficult not to have their identities exposed. Fortunately, now that they have arrived in the rear and there are no Japanese devils, Ren Zhong feels relatively safe. At least along the way, he really didn't encounter many bandits robbing.

Of course, the fact that someone was picking him up along the way and had informed him of dangerous areas in advance also played a big role.

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

Huzi and the others were numb to the fact that Ren Zhong could take out penicillin and radios every time he went to a place. They could only express their admiration for the supernatural powers of the organization behind Ren Zhong.

Ren Zhong and the others arrived at the Wanfeng Hotel in Ciqikou as planned. Huzi and Ren Zhong lived in separate rooms separated by a wall, and the other two guards lived on the other side, so that Ren Zhong was surrounded by his own people.

The rest of the people also found places to live near this hotel. They seemed to have no relationship, but once something happened, they could get here in 3 minutes.

With Ren Zhong's ability to suppress the passage of time, he could cross back to the main world at any time, and then bring the guns hidden in the small courtyard back to the inn where he lived in the Bright Sword plane.

Although doing so is also very dangerous, after all, this has just been announced as the capital of the country, and the strength of the defending army is not something that their small team can shake.

But in general, such extreme things will not happen.

So Ren Zhong was very relieved and prepared to spend two days in the capital to recover his body before heading to Qiancheng.

The second update, the third update is still being coded frantically, will be later.
