Chapter 671: The Ruthless Scholar Chen Gongshu
In the office of the North Station warehouse, Wang Yan opened the sealed envelope, took out several pieces of letter paper inside, and read them one by one.
After a while, he laughed for no reason.
Shi Changxing and Gu Yongcheng, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at each other and said wisely: "Brother Yan, what did the Red Party say to make you happy like this?"
Wang Yan shook the letter paper in his hand and said with a smile: "We are going to be in trouble, but we are also going to make a fortune. Take a look at it, too. You have to make money through science and technology..."
Shi Changxing and Gu Yongcheng read the letter head-to-head. Gu Yongcheng asked, "Brother Yan, is this accurate? Is it really that powerful?"
"You have had a lot of contact with the Red Party. You still don't know what they are like? They never say anything about something they are not sure about. Now they are thinking of the good foundation of cooperation between us and them for so many years and hand over this kind of treasure. If it is resold to us, it must be true. Now that the stuff has arrived, I think it will be time for them to make a statement in a few days. They will definitely make a name for themselves after they have researched such a good thing and let the world know about it. "They have better anti-inflammatory drugs in their hands. Let the foreign devils rush to buy them and send them money and supplies."
While talking, Wang Yan opened a large suitcase placed on the table and took out the stuffed straw rags. There were more than 600 tablets in small glass bottles stacked in front of him.
There is a label on the bottle. The calligraphy written on it is strong and powerful, with dragons and phoenixes dancing. The three big characters written on it are, penicillin.
After more than half a year, based on detailed information, experts and scholars in Yan'an finally went through R&D and experiments and achieved mass production. Although the output is small compared to the huge demand, he finally has a weapon in his hands that can treat the wounded and make a fortune.
In fact, Wang Yan had known this news for a long time, and of course it was the handsome man who conveyed it to him. With penicillin, he would no longer be unilaterally smuggling supplies to the Soviet area in the future, but would be able to go back and forth on a larger scale and be safer at the same time. Because there are too many goods and the number of transactions is large, it becomes difficult to settle accounts. Moreover, as mentioned in this letter, money is secondary. They need large quantities of food, steel, cloth and other materials, and they can do more things through his line.
Of course, he 'knows' nothing. The only people he knows are the handsome man and other high-level members of the Red Party. If I must say, there is also the telecommunications staff accompanying the handsome man. He has the code book and knows all the incoming and outgoing information. But for those who can work next to handsome men, under normal circumstances, there is no chance of rebellion. If they happen together, it will be a catastrophe that will overthrow the Red Party.
The Red Party is not the Kuomintang. In the later wars, it can reach the point where the Red Party formulates a battle plan, implements the plan, and fights on the front line... Therefore, the bald head lamented, "There is no one in the world who does not share the common ground." That is like a sieve inside. , he had no choice but to do nothing.
"Brother Yan, can't this be sold cheaper than sulfa?" Shi Changxing picked up a bottle of medicine and swung it to his ear, listening to the clatter of pills.
Seeing Wang Yan looking at him, Gu Yongcheng also picked up a bottle and played with it. He said, "I think it can be sold at the same price as sulfonamides. After all, sulfonamides come from outside, but this penicillin comes from Yan'an, which saves a lot of trouble." , the supply is also fast. The price is too high, which makes the sulfonamides sell better, and the penicillin is out of hand, which is not good. "
Shi Changxing didn't quite understand, so he asked straightforwardly: "Didn't you say that penicillin is more effective than sulfonamide? Isn't it natural that it is more expensive?"
"Silly boy, why haven't you made any progress in all these years?" Wang Yan slapped him on the back of the head and pointed at Qi Si, who was lying on the sofa smoking a cigarette: "Ah Si, tell me."
Qi Si rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Whether the effect is good or the effect is bad, it will be difficult to use the big soldiers fighting on the front line."
"Hey..." Wang Yan nodded happily: "I asked you to read more and think more, but you just don't listen. Look, you are not as good as Ah Si's brain."
"Okay, boy, you have made progress after being with Brother Yan for so long." Shi Changxing ran over and slapped Qi Si on the back of the head. Seeing Qi Si turning over and about to practice with him, he calmly hugged him He raised his eyebrows and said, "Think about it, whether you can beat me or not, but don't blame me for not taking you out to be cool."
Qi Si's doggy face instantly changed to a flattering smile: "Look at what you said, Brother Shi, how can I fight with you? Come on, sit down quickly, I will squeeze your shoulders. Brother Yan said that my skills are good. He also said that I can make money by opening a store.”
Wang Yan ignored Shi Changxing's play with that silly boy. He said to Gu Yongcheng: "Although the letter is very long, it doesn't have many important points. Please contact Yan'an in the next two days and discuss with them what can be done in detail." How much profit should we keep? We should also determine the supplies they need and draw up a list so that we can discuss them in a targeted manner. In addition, you can contact the British, Americans, and Soviets, and each party will send them two. Ping, I'm going to find the French and the Japanese. One is my job, the other is my life, but I have to take good care of him..."
Gu Yongcheng nodded: "Okay, I'll do it soon."
Wang Yan picked up the phone on the table and called Iwai Mansion directly. Iwai Eiichi was usually there. He had to talk to Iwai Eiichi about this kind of thing. Minami Yoko was not qualified.
The phone was connected, and after a few brief exchanges, he said he had something important to discuss, and made an appointment with Eiichi Iwai for lunch.
After contacting Iwai Eiichi, Wang Yan took a few bottles of penicillin and called Qi Si, who was trying hard to show his courtesy to Shi Changxing, and went out to take a car back to the police station. He called Egg to find Judit and took out two bottles of penicillin for them to test the efficacy and then sell them back to Europe.
At this time, although there was no war in Europe, penicillin was not specifically used to treat wounded soldiers. It was an antibiotic and could be used for other ailments. It was effective, which was not comparable to sulfonamide. It was also a big seller in Europe.
After fooling two foreigners, it was almost noon. Wang Yan took Qi Si to Hongkou, and went to a Japanese restaurant. Iwai Eiichi treated him like a beast. He always ate Japanese food when he ate with him, and never went to the concession. He was also very afraid of death.
Everyone was afraid of death, but Wang was a famous joke in Shanghai for being afraid of death. This was a cheap disease of human beings. This was also true for Iwai Eiichi, the deputy consul general of the Japanese consulate. After all, this little devil relied on threatening Wang Yan's life to make money and deal in various precious antiques.
When he was led in, Iwai Eiichi was still the same, kneeling there in a kimono and drinking tea. Wang Yan took off his big leather shoes, walked over and sat cross-legged: "Sorry, Mr. Iwai, I'm a little late and kept you waiting."
Iwai Eiichi smiled and poured tea for Wang Yan: "Wang San, there's no need for us to be like this. You are a friend of the Great Japanese Empire, and even more so my personal friend. There's no need to be so formal. Otherwise, I'll think you don't want to be friends with us."
Wang Yan nodded and said: "You're right, then I won't be polite in the future."
"I want you to be rude, hahaha..." Iwai Eiichi laughed the Japanese's unique ugly laugh, and asked: "You said you have something important to talk to me about. Did the French do anything?"
"No."
In the puzzled eyes of the short and strong Japanese soldier, Wang Yan took out two bottles of penicillin from his pocket and put them on the table, and gestured to him.
Iwai Eiichi looked at Wang Yan in confusion, then picked up a bottle of medicine and turned around to read it. Although there was no sound standard at that time, the paper attached to the bottle still wrote the indications and precautions.
Iwai Eiichi has been in China for more than 20 years, so of course he knows Chinese characters. He frowned and read it once, then opened the lid and took out the pills inside and held them between his fingertips to examine them.
He asked: "It says Yan'an Pharmaceutical Factory on it. Was it developed by the Red Party?"
"Yes, Mr. Iwai. The thing is, because of business dealings, our Yonghua Industry has an office in Yan'an. I have to admit this to you. The Yan'an office has employees with Red Party identities and employees who are not Red Party identities. Now, I don't know whether those employees who are not Red Party members are Red Party members. In addition, the Qinglian Bank, which I control, has also opened a branch there. Except for some employees sent from Shanghai, the rest are Red Party members in Yan'an. They..."
"I know all these situations. It's business needs. It doesn't matter. Let's talk about business."
Iwai Eiichi waved his hand and didn't care. Wang Yan is a man without secrets. They have a clear grasp of Wang Yan's situation. Of course, they know this kind of thing clearly, and there are even some of their people. Wang Yan's only secret is that they don't know how much money he has, but they believe this very much, and Wang Yan himself doesn't know either...
Wang Yan nodded and took out the letter from the morning from his pocket: "They asked my men to bring it back to me from Yan'an. It just arrived this morning. This is the letter. You can take a look. It introduces the penicillin in detail, and then expresses that they are willing to let me do business with all forces and individuals except the Kuomintang. In this regard, I still appreciate the Red Party. They care about the old friendship. I have sold them a lot of supplies over the years, and they have reciprocated by giving me such a big source of money. To be honest, Mr. Iwai, I am flattered."
Iwai Eiichi smiled and looked at the contents of the letter. He was very satisfied with Wang Yan's attitude. He is not a supernatural being, so he has not received the news yet, but he will know it in less than two days. Now Wang Yan came here consciously and even showed him the letter from the Red Party. Wang Sang is a great friend.
He read the letter carefully from beginning to end, and looked up at Wang Yan who was sipping tea with him: "How credible do you think this medicine is?"
"100%. The Red Party is rigorous in their work and always keeps their word. If it is inaccurate, they will not give it out, especially to me. After all, I have been dealing with them for so many years and they are the main supplier of materials in the Soviet area. They can't cheat me."
"So how do you want to sell it? Who do you want to sell it to?"
"This is the purpose of my coming to you. The initial price is the same as the current sulfa price on the market. The specific price needs to be contacted with the Red Party and their opinions. As for who to sell it to, of course it will be sold to whoever buys it. You also know Chu, this is something the Red Party has researched, and it is no longer important to continue to restrict their sales of drugs. So who else can't sell it?
Before coming here, I had met with my boss, Director von Judit, and asked my manager to make appointments with the British, Americans, Soviets, and people from other countries to try to sell this penicillin to the world. Mr. Iwai, you know that monopoly is the most profitable. Now only the Red Party can produce it, but after a while, if it is researched by other countries, the money earned will be much less. Of course, the Red Party will get the lion's share, and I will earn some hard work fees. I wonder if the Empire of Japan has any ideas?"
"Wang Sang, don't you know the army generals stationed in Shanghai? You should go to them directly instead of coming to see me."
"Mr. Iwai, how could I do such a thing? You just said that we are friends, so since we are friends, of course I have to consider you. Besides, it was you who brought me to know the generals of the army and navy. Without you, how would Wang be today? It would be better if you don’t forget the well diggers.”
Eiichi Iwai laughed happily. He liked Wang Yan more and more. He was sensible, well-spoken, willing to use money, and could see the situation clearly.
Because if he promotes the purchase of penicillin, he will have merit, which is not small. Even if this is to send supplies to the Red Party and create difficulties for the imperial warriors on the front line, the world is like this and they can't use it. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with fighting at the front and doing business with each other at the rear. After all, it has been done before, but this time it may be on a larger scale. The people in the military would only thank him but not blame him. Because they are also in urgent need of anti-inflammatory drugs, and some well-known people have been injured in the war, and sulfonamides are often not effective. If new drugs are used, it may not be impossible to get better, so they have established connections with the backstage of these people.
In short, after going around in a circle, it's still good for you and me, and everyone is good. Only the little Japs on the front line died miserably.
"Then what price do you want to sell our Empire of Japan?"
"You know, this is a unique medicine. Although I said it would be sold at the same price as sulfa, the final price will definitely be much higher. But because we are friends and because we have to transport it through the Japanese-occupied areas, So I think the same price as sulfonamide is the best, what do you think?”
"The road is in our hands!" Iwai Eiichi said very definitely and domineeringly: "So of course the price is determined by us, otherwise no matter how much you sell, if the materials cannot be transported to the Soviet area, it will be in vain. Money is the most useless thing, so I think the price can be lowered. ”
"Then it's not up to me to make the decision. I need to go back and contact the people from the Red Party to discuss the matter again. Mr. Iwai, I hope you can understand."
"Of course, I have always been aware of your difficulties. Okay, let's wait until two days to talk about these things and eat."
Eiichi Iwai clapped his hands, and the door slid open to both sides. Japanese ladies in kimonos filed in carrying dishes and then left.
After drinking with Wang Yan, Iwai Eiichi asked: "How was the drink I gave you to the 14th generation before?"
"It's very good. I'd like to trouble Mr. Iwai and ask someone to bring over some good Japanese wine. Of course it's a double portion. I'll treat you to the good wine from my hometown."
"As long as you like it, why don't you treat me? I'll give it to you. Next month, I'll ask my friends in China to bring a batch of all the famous wines in Japan."
"Thank you very much. I'll look for some more antiques and have them delivered to you in two days." The blood started to appear again. Wang Yan turned to ask, "When I came here just now, I saw that you were very worried. What happened?" What happened?"
"You discovered it." Eiichi Iwai shook his head and smiled: "Of course it's still Wang Zhaoming's business."
"Didn't he stay well in Hanoi? What happened?"
"Just yesterday, he suffered an assassination. However, because the person who carried out the operation recognized the wrong person and killed the person next to him, Wang escaped. However, Wang was also frightened, and he had a hard time these two days. The person who did it was The man from the military command is called Chen Gongshu. You must be familiar with this person, right? Although he is not as famous as Pei Min from the Red Party, he is still famous. Others gave him the nickname "The Dangerous Scholar". He is a subordinate of Dai Yunong. A capable general. In addition to him, there are also the Eighteen Arhats from the military command, who are all ace killers. They are still looking for opportunities in Hanoi. "
"Wang Zhaoming's fate was so great that so many people didn't kill him."
In response to Wang Yan's lively words, Iwai Eiichi gave him a serious look, and then said: "The Empire of Japan will certainly not see its friends in danger. Colonel Kage Sasaki has already led people to Hanoi to rescue Wang in person. Very soon There will be news soon. But this time, he can’t stay in Hanoi, and he may have to come to Shanghai first..."
Wang Yan didn't say anything, but took the initiative to change the subject. If he said too much, it would be like he was deliberately inquiring. He has no interest in Wang Zhaoming, after all, he can't kill him...
