Lin Jing asked again, "Besides the items we've already traded, we'd also like to ask if we could have some more sugar?"

After all, in addition to milk, the sugar factory also needs some sugar. Otherwise, we would still be facing a situation of insufficient production capacity.

Recently, the production capacity of the White Rabbit milk candy factory in Shanghai has increased significantly.

Supply and marketing cooperatives in many large cities suddenly found an increase in supplies.

Although so far, every time the goods arrive, the sales staff of the supply and marketing cooperative reserve most of them in advance.

However, some of the milk candy was sold.

Although production capacity has increased, it hasn't made much of a splash in such a large national market.

There's no way around it; China is just too big, with too large a population.

Although most people are not very wealthy, they can't even afford milk candy coupons.

But spread across such a large area of ​​the country, there are simply too many people like this.

These production capacities were absorbed without even making a ripple.

Gu Yunyang knew that Lin Jing wanted white sugar not just to meet the production capacity of the milk candy factory.

There are only so many production lines. Even if we work three shifts, how much more capacity can we increase?

Gu Yunyang certainly knew that white sugar was also a strategic resource.

Add some fertilizer, and this stuff becomes explosives.

Later generations even used gas cylinders, along with white sugar and fertilizer, to create makeshift bombs.

In addition, white sugar is a quick source of energy.

Every 100 grams of white sugar contains about 400 kilocalories, which is three times that of the same weight of rice. It can be quickly converted into glucose to provide energy for the human body.

Its portability and long-term storage capabilities, allowing it to be preserved for years in dry environments, make it a critical survival resource during wars or disasters.

In addition, high-concentration sugar solutions kill bacteria through osmotic pressure and were used for wound disinfection and to promote healing during World War II.

After fermentation, granulated sugar can also be used to produce ethanol.

This is a very important medical supply, used for disinfection, combustion, and even as a substitute for petroleum to some extent.

These various functions led to white sugar being regarded as a strategic material.

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and then agreed: "Okay, how many do you need?"

Lin Jing didn't expect Gu Yunyang to agree so quickly.

It's important to understand that white sugar is not just a simple commodity.

Small purchases by individual households go unnoticed.

However, the amount of money involved in their transactions was clearly not small.

Those are transactions involving tons or even tons.

With such a large quantity, from which country did Gu Yunyang and his group smuggle it?

Wouldn't that country care?

Won't they manage it?

This is clearly unlikely.

But Gu Yunyang didn't hesitate for long before agreeing.

Gu Yunyang was aware of this, of course. He said in a deep voice, "How much do you need? I will try my best to supply it. Currently, production capacity may be limited."

However, if you need it, our plantations overseas can grow sugar beets and sugarcane for you, and starting next year, we will be able to supply large quantities of white sugar.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Jing clearly understood that Gu Yunyang was not completely ignorant.

That makes sense. How could such a large smuggling ring not know what can be transported and what cannot?

Logically, given the current situation in China, foreign countries would also tighten restrictions on food transportation.

But Gu Yunyang and his men were risking their lives to transport food to the country.

Now they've just added white sugar.

"How about five tons each time?"
