Old soup wonton stall.

The stalls were about to be closed, and after the curfew was passed, there were only some drunkards who were not homeless on the streets.

A Ford car drove over, turned off the headlights when approaching the stall, slowly slid to a place not far from the wonton stall and stopped.

"Old soup, come with a bowl of wontons!"

"Oh, it's Mr. Lu. I haven't seen you for a long time." Lao Tang looked up and saw the person clearly, and said in surprise.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time. Lao Tang, is your business doing well recently?" Lu Xiyan just sent Xi Hongwei's family back and drove home by himself.

Of course, he didn't pass Lao Tang's wonton stall on the way home, so he deliberately took a detour.

I made an appointment with Tan Si.

"I wish you good luck." Lao Tang smiled honestly.

"Come two bowls of wontons, add more sesame oil and vinegar, eat one bowl here, and take one bowl away." Lu Xiyan walked over and sat down at the table that was set aside.

"Okay, wait a moment." Lao Tang said happily, "You are a coincidence. I am about to close the stall and I am just about to turn off the stove."

A black shadow walked out of the alley diagonally opposite. When he saw his walking, he knew it was Tan Si.

"Lao Tang, you are burdened. Let's have another bowl, and there is another guest." Lu Xiyan smiled and raised his hand to greet Lao Tang.

"Okay."

"gentlemen!"

"Sit down, you're hungry, I'll treat you to wontons." Lu Xiyan greeted, "The old soup is good, the wontons made are real and tastes good."

"Thank you, sir." Tan Si sat down next to Lu Xiyan.

"How is it? Have you seen Andre?" Lu Xiyan took out a pack of cigarettes, tore open the seal, and handed it to Tan Si one, "Come one?"

"This guy is very cautious. He was in contact with him for the first time and could not hear anything." Tan Si took it behind him, turned around, and pulled out a piece of firewood from the stove.

First order Lu Xiyan, then order himself, and then stuff the firewood into the furnace.

"What did Fein say?"

"His wife and daughter are in our hands, so we can only be obedient." Tan Si said, "However, I found that there are many drawings in Fein's home. In addition to repairing guns and changing guns, this guy likes to make some gadgets."

"Oh, he is an engineer, it's not surprising. I believe you said he can build guns and cannons," Lu Xiyan smiled.

"Fenn's gun-changing skills are very high, which is very famous in the road. I asked him to modify the second brother's sniper rifle, and the performance is improved by 30%. Tan Sidao.

"Mr. Lu, and this gentleman, your wontons are ready, please use them slowly!" Lao Tang brought two bowls of steaming wontons.

"Old Tang, don't forget that there is another one, I'll pack it and take it back." Lu Xiyan reminded.

"I can't forget, Mr. Lu, I'll cook it for you when you're ready, so that when you get home, it's just right." Lao Tang said.

"Fen has such good skills, so he is just a money tree. Andre is so willing to let him leave Shanghai?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Who said no? Hanjie and the others have investigated that the profits of Fen's gun change and repairing guns are equally divided with Andre. With his reputation in the Tao, he basically has no shortage of work. When encountering special modifications, the price will increase several times. On average, the monthly income is over thousands of oceans."

"This is really a talent. Be careful to protect his safety." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"clear."

"Andre and Lyonina have a close relationship. These two must have something to hide from Fein. Please keep a close eye on me."

"I know, I'm done. Sir, eat slowly, I'll leave first." Tan Si took the last sip of the soup, got up, and left.

Lu Xiyan slowly finished the wontons in the bowl.

He took out a piece of fiat currency and was under the bowl.

Take the wontons that had just been cooked from Lao Tang: "Old Tang, the money is under the bowl, I'm leaving first. It's too late, it's time to have a curfew."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, go slowly." Lao Tang went over and moved the bowl and a piece of French currency. He could eat at least five bowls of wontons. He gave him more. Mr. Lu is such a good person and will definitely live for a hundred years.

...

When I returned home, the lights in the study room upstairs were still on, and Meng Fanxing was not asleep yet.

Tips upstairs.

He gently pushed open the door of the study room, and Lu Xiyan walked in with a bowl of wontons. He saw Meng Fanxing copying something at his desk and walked over: "I bought you wontons and eat them while it's hot."

"Thank you, wait until I finish copying this one." Meng Fanxing said without raising his head.

"What are you copying?"

"The gift book is something that people can use when they have something to do in the future." Meng Fanxing said.

Lu Xiyan nodded, saying that women like to be petty, but this petty is not just for the sake of life. If you have a virtuous wife in your family, your husband will be prosperous.

"Eat the wontons first, it will be less delicious if it gets battered later."

"knew."

When I came in again, Meng Fanxing was eating wontons, sucking the soup in small mouthfuls, maybe it was a bit hot.

"Is there any news on the dock?"

"I won't know until tomorrow morning." Meng Fanxing said that this was the last time the equipment was transferred to the hospital in "Ant Moving". It means that the Hongwei Spinning Mill has not much valuable except for the land and factory buildings.

The land and factory buildings are difficult to move out, and this part can only be lost.

"By the way, at the banquet just now, Uncle Xi told me that Sato had renovated his style and wanted to set up Uncle Xi's sponge mill for technical transformation, and was preparing to invest in it."

"He couldn't acquire it. Do he want to hold Hongwei Company?"

"No, Uncle Xi feels that the Japanese have not come from the beginning to the sponge mill." Meng Fanxing said while eating.

"That five thousand tons of Indian cotton raw materials?" Lu Xiyan couldn't hear it.

"Smart." Meng Fanxing praised, "Cotton is an extremely important material in the fields of people's livelihood and military. Uncle Xi had a unique vision and noticed it after the New Year, so he made an advance arrangement and sent people to India to purchase a large amount of high-quality cotton. High-quality cotton is the raw material for making nitrocellulose cotton, and the bullet launcher is nitrocellulose cotton."

Although Lu Xiyan studied medicine, he still has a certain understanding of chemistry. Medicine and chemistry are inseparable, and most of the drugs are synthesized through chemicals.

Not to mention many dangerous compounds or life-saving drugs.

"These cottons arrived in Shanghai, and that was the focus of the competition." Lu Xiyan said.

"Uncle Xi has mortgaged this batch of cotton to our Meng'an Company." Meng Fanxing said.

Lu Xiyan nodded. He knew about this. He mortgaged the cotton to Meng'an Company so that Meng Fanxing could lend money to Xi Hongwei with justification. Otherwise, there would be no problem with him, and Monte, a shareholder, might not have agreed.

Since there is a mortgage, Monte will naturally not oppose the loan. He looks down on the Japanese in his bones.

"Uncle Xi and his friends have decided to end all their business in China. Those that cannot be closed will be left to Mengyao and the others. These 5,000 tons of cotton are a huge problem we face." Meng Fanxing said.

Although she made a promise with Uncle Xi, saying that it could be transported away by "ant moving", once the Japanese discovered that Xi Hongwei had secretly removed the equipment and transported it away, they would stare at the cotton.

By that time, it will be even more difficult to use this method.

"I have a solution, that is, for us, there may be a huge gap in funds." Lu Xiyan was also considering this issue.

It’s just that things have not reached that point and I have kept it in my heart and didn’t say it.

"Uncle Xi has a sponge mill in western Shanghai, so we can buy it." Lu Xiyan said.

"You want to build a yarn mill?"

"No, Meimei, after listening to me, I don't want to build a yarn mill, I want to build a factory that produces sterile medicinal cotton gauze and degreased cotton." Lu Xiyan said.

When Meng Fanxing heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. Why didn’t she expect that her professional pharmacy and cotton also have important uses in medicine.

Sterile cotton gauze for bandaging, disinfection cotton swabs, bleeding-repellent cotton, sanitary masks, etc.

These things are all medical equipment that are currently in short supply in China.

It is not technically difficult to produce these things. As long as the management is in place and the product is produced, there is no need to worry about no sales. It is just that one-time investment is much greater than building a yarn mill, and it requires specialized technical talents.

"We have raw materials now and factories, but we need to be renovated. The only thing we lack is people and technology, and of course equipment." Lu Xiyan said.

Although the idea is good, it is not an easy task when it is really done.

"There are also storage and security for this batch of cotton." Lu Xiyan continued, "After counting this, we still need tens of millions of funds."

Meng Fanxing was a little stunned.

Lu Xiyan never said that not only did not reach this point because things did not reach this point, but more so, if you decide to do this, you will definitely have to confront the Japanese head-on next.

The production of medicinal cotton also has requirements for the quality of cotton. If the cotton raw materials purchased from India do not meet the requirements, there is nothing we can do.

If 5,000 tons of cotton are well preserved, it will be enough for a long time to produce. At least three to five years, there is no need to worry about the raw materials.

As long as nothing unexpected happens, the problem of raw materials does not need to be considered within five years.

"Where is this batch of cotton coming to Shanghai?"

"I originally planned to directly pull it to the warehouse of the yarn mill, but now it may not work. We need to build a special warehouse to pile up these cottons." Meng Fanxing said.

"Since we have mortgaged these cotton, we will build one ourselves. No matter what, this batch of cotton must be used on us Chinese." Lu Xiyan said.

"Okay, but we don't have talent in this area now."

"We don't have it, aren't there any of Uncle Xi's side? This time, all the workers and technicians involved in the dismantling of equipment were accepted, and we can also accept some of the workers." Lu Xiyan said.

"In this way, Uncle Xi's Hongwei Company became an empty shell?" Meng Fanxing said.

"Then you have to sell it quickly. It's better not later than it should be. Sell it before the Japanese find it." Lu Xiyan reminded.

"I understand. I will remind Uncle Xi, just find a step and go down."

"It's almost twelve o'clock, go to bed, I have to go to work tomorrow." Lu Xiyan raised his hand and glanced at his watch.
