"I like to make friends. I don't ask who he is, as long as he matches my eyes."
Loach has a ruffian spirit, and it is easy to win the favor of these gangsters and be recognized by them as one of their own.
He took out a cigarette and handed it to the gambler. This time the gambler took out the match in his pocket and helped the loach light the fire.
Loach was not polite either. After lighting up his cigarette, he blew out several smoke rings.
Before finishing the cigarette, the food was served. Loach filled the glass with wine, raised his glass to the gambler, and drank the wine first.
There is wine and meat, and the gambler is really hungry. One mouthful of meat and one mouthful of wine, the food is very delicious.
After eating and drinking, Niyi said: "I am not a local. I brought a few brothers here to beg for food. I want to ask you a few things."
"Brother, please excuse me. I grew up in the city, and there is nothing I don't know about here."
The gambler could no longer afford to be short-tongued, so he hurriedly replied.
Ni Loach didn't ask about Ma Benchao and Xi'an Station. The gambler wouldn't know about them. What Ni Loach asked about was the situation on the road. The more he asked, the more frightened the gambler became.
Even though Niluo is not tall, the questions you ask are all key, and people on the road would not be so familiar with them.
He probably guessed who Loach was. It's not like a fierce dragon can't cross the river. Anyone who dares to come here must have two brushes. He respectfully answered all Loach's questions clearly.
After asking what he wanted, Niyi asked him to go home and continued gambling without him.
The two agreed to meet at the casino tomorrow afternoon. This gambler is still useful to him.
Returning to the rented house, several team members who had returned before came over immediately.
"Did everything go well today?"
Loach is very dignified in front of his subordinates. He has been the captain and deputy leader for such a long time, so he already knows how to have a good relationship with his subordinates.
"It went well. I went to the train station. The land there is controlled by a person named Brother Cheng. I have already inquired about Brother Cheng. He lives on North Fifth Street and has two children at home. Brother Cheng's backstage is the third
Deputy Director Wang of the Second Branch."
"I went to Gulou, and the boss there was working with the director of the Third Precinct."
"I found out here that Huazi from the Southern District is the brother-in-law of Sergeant Wu from the General Bureau."
The subordinates reported one by one, and Loach's eyes narrowed.
Ma Benchao is the police chief. There must be a policeman behind the gangsters in every place. Without them, they can't do anything and will only be purged.
No matter what the relationship is with the police, there must be a close connection.
Investigating these gangsters is his direction. If Ma Benchao has a problem, the people who know the most about him are not the ordinary people at Xi'an Station, but the police.
However, he also deployed manpower at Xi'an Station to learn about the situation from the people at the bottom.
Take a multi-pronged approach to identify Ma Benchao and the person in question as early as possible.
"Everyone, be careful. Ma Benchao is not Fang Yihu. He is the same person as Xie Zhenyuan. You must pay attention to safety in future investigations."
Ni Loach warned that they don’t have to worry so much when investigating at the Chengdu Station. After all, Fang Yihu is a decent person and will not cause trouble behind his back.
Ma Benchao is different, he and Xie Zhenyuan are the same person.
When he was in Guangzhou, Chen Mutu sent a group to station next to Guangzhou Station to protect the team leader. You can see what kind of person Xie Zhenyuan is.
It would make a big shot like Chen Mutu worry that he would attack the team leader. If it weren't for Chen Mutu's support, Xie Zhenyuan would have really dared to take risks.
Caution makes Wannian Ship, and Loach is never arrogant. This is his advantage and what reassures Chu Lingyun the most.
At the end of the day's review, Director Huang found no problems.
Director Huang is used to it. He knows that he cannot really detect any big problems. The problems that he can detect are either intentional like those at Guangzhou Station, or they are not there at all.
They clearly know that the inspection team is coming, but if they don't deal with the things on the surface, these webmasters should just stop doing it.
In the evening, Ma Benchao hosted another banquet, and this time he took the initiative to ask about Loach.
"He has other matters, thank you Stationmaster Ma for your concern."
Chu Lingyun smiled, but he was wary. The loach caught Ma Benchao's attention, and Ma Benchao was very concerned about the loach.
Otherwise he would not ask such a question.
"Can you ask me something and I'll ask the people at the station to help?" Ma Benchao asked again.
"No need, he can handle it himself."
Chu Lingyun refused. The more Ma Benchao asked, the more important he was to Loach.
But it also proved that Ma Benchao had not found Loach, and Loach was still safe for the time being. Fortunately, Loach understood the seriousness of the matter and was very tactful. Letting him out was like a loach that had sunk into the mud. Most people would not be able to find him.
"Well, Brother Chu, just ask if you need anything." Ma Benchao raised his glass and drank it all himself.
After drinking a lot of wine at night, Chu Lingyun went home drunk, and immediately became sober after entering the room.
He walked to the window and closed the curtains.
At this time, someone must be watching him outside. Ma Benchao has the same problem as Xie Zhenyuan, and it is a big problem.
Chu Lingyun sighed. The military unification has not yet been established, and the Military Intelligence Department has not been established for a long time. There are so many problems when inspecting various stations. You can imagine how rotten the Guo Party is from top to bottom. p>
Early the next morning, several cars came to the door of the hotel. Not long after, Chu Lingyun got into the car with someone, and the convoy drove away quickly.
"I was picked up by someone. Can you see who picked him up?"
Ma Benchao was very surprised when he got the news. Chu Lingyun never said that he knew anyone else in Xi'an, and the people who came to pick him up were soldiers in military uniforms.
"No, our people don't know the officer who picked him up. We only know that he is a colonel. But our people followed him and the news will be sent to him in a while."
The subordinate replied, the colonel is not low in rank, who could pick up Chu Lingyun at this time?
He thought more. If this colonel was a friend of Chu Lingyun, he could just send his men to pick him up. Why did he come in person?
Could it be that someone else invited Chu Lingyun and the colonel came to pick them up?
The colonel might be asked to run errands. What kind of person must he be?
Ma Benchao immediately thought of someone. He couldn't sit still in his chair and walked back and forth in the office.
"Go and wait for the news. Report to me immediately if there is news." Ma Benchao ordered.
It didn't take long for his subordinates to report. Ma Benchao's eyes tightened. Although he had already guessed it, he was still shocked after it was confirmed.
What is the relationship between Chen Mutu and Chu Lingyun? When you were in Guangzhou, you protected him, but when you first arrived in Xi'an, you picked him up again?
The person who picked up Chu Lingyun in the morning was indeed Chen Mutu, but this time it was not that he wanted to meet someone, but that he was entrusted by someone to act as an introducer.
The person who picked up Chu Lingyun was Chen Shouquan. The two were old acquaintances and were not polite.
When he arrived at Chen Mutu's mansion, Chu Lingyun saw someone sitting with Chen Mutu, chatting happily.
"Ling Yun, come, let me introduce you. This is General Wendingwen. Brother Wen, the person you want to see is here."
Chen Mutu waved to Chu Lingyun and chuckled.
Wending was looking at Chu Lingyun. Chu Lingyun was wearing casual clothes today and looked younger. Outside, the ordinary soldiers under his command looked older than Chu Lingyun.
"I've met General Wen."
Chu Lingyun immediately saluted. He was also a big shot, a fierce general known as the Flying General, and had the same military rank as Chen Mutu.
"Heroes come from young people."
Wending smiled and nodded to Chu Lingyun, while Chen Mutu stood up: "Lingyun, General Wen has something private to discuss with you. You guys can talk."
After Chen Mutu left, only Chu Lingyun and Wending were left in the living room. At this time, Wending was more like the master.
"General Wen, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask me."
Chu Lingyun sat aside and said softly, he is just a lieutenant colonel. It is impossible to meet such a person. There is only one reason why people take the initiative to meet him.
"Okay, then I won't hide it anymore. I will take as much sulfa as you give Lao Chen."
Wending told him the reason for his visit, and sure enough, another big boss came for sulfa.
Chu Lingyun still underestimated the influence of sulfonamide. Although sulfonamide is not as good as penicillin in the future, its drug resistance is too strong and cannot be used frequently.
But in this era without antibiotics, it is the only drug that can fight infection.
The leaders need this medicine the most.
There are only a few that can be purchased in Europe, and even if they are available, they will be intercepted by the big guys in Shanghai and Nanjing first. There are pharmaceutical factories in the United States, but the American pharmaceutical factories have just started production this year.
Before those medicines could be shipped to China, Chu Lingyun intercepted them.
Now he wants to buy a large amount of sulfa, which is only available here in Chu Lingyun. After Wending learned that Chen Mutu had obtained a large amount of sulfa, he became interested, but the two were far apart and he couldn't get it.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mutu came to Xi'an, let alone that Chu Lingyun, who had a large supply of goods, also arrived in Xi'an. He immediately asked Chen Mutu to come forward and help him arrange a meeting with Chu Lingyun.
Chen Mutu couldn't refuse, and finally asked Chen Shouquan to invite Chu Lingyun over.
He will definitely not let the sulfa in his hand go out. As for how much sulfa Wending can get from Chu Lingyun, it depends on his ability.
"General Wen, to be honest, this batch of goods has almost been sold, and I really don't have much on hand."
Chu Lingyun gave a bitter smile, he was not perfunctory.
The output of pharmaceutical factories in the United States is not unlimited. They have production capacity constraints. The previous $200,000 worth of sulfa was shipped in batches.
Firstly, his money has not arrived, and secondly, the pharmaceutical factory does not have that much stock.
This time he has booked another 300,000 yuan. It is estimated that he will only be able to get these goods before the end of the year, and the rest will have to be arranged until next year.
If Smith hadn't negotiated the priority supply rights, I'm afraid the 300,000 would have to wait until next year.
"No matter how much there is, I want the rest. I know you have a second batch of goods. Give me the same quantity as General Chen for the second batch."
Wending waved his hand and wanted to buy all the remaining goods from Chu Lingyun.
It's impossible to give all of this batch of goods to him. Chu Lingyun will still be of great use in the future, but he can't refuse it directly. He and the other party are not equal in identity, and it is easy to offend others.
"General Wen, you should know that this is a business that I do in partnership with an American. The interests of Americans come first. It is not easy for me to sell so many low-priced goods. I have no choice but to let the American company in Shanghai limit the supply."
We only sell five boxes of goods every day, and each person can only buy one box."
"But since you have spoken, I will find a way to give you 20,000 US dollars of goods first, and when the next batch of goods arrives, I will coordinate the 100,000 US dollars of goods for you."
Chu Lingyun said slowly, and Wending asked curiously: "It is sold in limited quantities, and the quantity is still so small?"
Wending knew that Chen Mutu had a large amount of sulfa, but he didn't know the situation in Shanghai. He paid attention to the sulfa, but he only paid attention to the sulfa in Chen Mutu's hands.
"It's true. I don't dare to lie to you. You can verify it at any time."
Chu Lingyun nodded, and Wending believed that Chu Lingyun did not dare to lie to him. He wanted to know the situation in Shanghai very simply, and he could know it today.
"Fifty thousand, give me fifty thousand dollars of goods first, and give me two hundred thousand for the next batch. I want the same quantity as Lao Chen."
Wending understood that Chu Lingyun really didn’t have that many, otherwise Chen Mutu would have bought them all long ago and would not have waited for the second batch.
However, this Chu Lingyun can get so much goods. His relationship with Americans is extraordinary. Others do not have this energy, including him.
"Fifty thousand is really not good. In this way, I still have ten thousand in stock. I will give it all to you. I will give you thirty thousand first. As for the second batch, I will give it to you. The Americans will definitely not agree. I will give you one hundred thousand first."
, I will give you one hundred thousand as a priority after the year, but don’t tell General Chen about this.”
Give him $200,000 for the next batch of goods, Chu Lingyun can do it.
He had ordered 300,000 US dollars of sulfa, and the first batch of payment had already been made. His purchase price was very low, 3.50 yuan per box. The 300,000 US dollars of sulfa could be sold in China for 800,000 US dollars. It's okay to give them half, but if you give it directly, it will only make them feel that it is easy to get it, and will force him to provide more supplies in the future.
"Okay, 30,000, just 30,000, but when the next batch of goods arrives, you must give it to me first."
After thinking about it, Wending nodded. Thirty thousand dollars is a lot. He will use this batch of goods for himself first. After the next goods arrive, he will sell them to others to make money.
"Thank you, General Wen, for your understanding."
Chu Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Wending wanted a lot of goods, which disrupted some of Chu Lingyun's plans. However, there were pros and cons. He was supplying goods to Wending in batches. If Wending wanted future supply, he couldn't let him.
Something happened.
They are a combination of interests. As long as it does not affect him, he will definitely help Chu Lingyun in some matters.
This relationship is not strong, but at least it gives Chu Lingyun an extra layer of protection.
After the two settled the matter, Chen Mutu came back.
Wending did not stay here long. He would send someone to Shanghai to pick up the 30,000 US dollars of sulfa, and the rest would wait for Chu Lingyun to arrive before contacting him.
"General Chen, you are not kind."
After Wending left, Chu Lingyun said quietly that if Chen Mutu had kept it a secret for him, what happened today would not have happened.
"It's my fault this time, but I have known him for many years, and he found me. I can't help it. Lao Wen is a real person. If you help him, he will not forget your kindness."
Chen Tumu laughed. He knew what he did this time was not honest and sold him without consulting Chu Lingyun.
But who is he? How could he lower his dignity to ask Chu Lingyun for his opinion? It is a great sign of sincerity to admit his mistake afterwards.
