Victor was a shrewd person. He knew this trip to England was his opportunity and observed the situation there. He knew the WWII damages were intense on the continent, with many people fleeing to England, causing a population influx.
The boss said land would appreciate, and Victor now firmly believed it, admiring the boss even more for predicting this from thousands of miles away.
He also gathered much other information, sending a telegram to headquarters every week to report his findings. Each telegram would reach Hardy. One of them mentioned that he found the price of penicillin in England to be extremely high, with some people paying 30 dollars for a bottle.
At that time, the US dollar was pegged to gold, and 30 dollars was equivalent to 24 grams of gold.
