Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be surprised when he entered the study. He saw that the layout here was exactly the same as Qibao's.
"Haha, this layout was arranged by my late wife. I don't want to destroy it. It's the same as here in the outer house. Just treat it as seeing things and thinking about people." Yu Qiaqing smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, I'll ask you again. I hope you answer honestly.
"I, are you really not a member of the Red Party? Are all the things you said before true?" Yu Qiaqing suddenly asked in an extremely serious tone.
"Of course," Jiang Cheng said, well prepared for this question, "Everything I said is true. I am definitely not a member of the Red Party."
"Okay, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek from Nanjing called and said that he is very interested in you and hopes to meet you." Yu Qiaqing sighed and said. "There are gatherings of senior officials in Nanjing. When you go, be careful and don't offend people easily. Over there
Revenge is not like Shanghai, where it is clear who is the good guy and who is the bad guy, but over there - there are too many people hiding their knives in their smiles."
Jiang Cheng was a little excited. He was going to see the bald man in Nanjing? He had already noticed him. As a small civil servant at the grassroots level of a modern agency, he was told that he was going to be received by the head of state. It was impossible not to be nervous. Jiang Cheng nodded.
Said, "I understand, but I don't know when? I want to prepare something."
Yu Qiaqing nodded and said, "You should prepare something. Isn't it strange that there are so many people? If you don't have enough money, just ask me for it. This is your home."
After saying that, he burst out laughing and looked at Jiang Cheng with a bit of creepiness.
"Then let's do this for now. You go to bed early today and we'll go check out our store together tomorrow." After Yu Qiaqing said that, he asked the maid to take Jiang Cheng down to rest. The next day, Jiang Cheng and Du Yuesheng took more than a hundred people with them.
Guarding ten rickshaws, 50,000 penicillins were brought to the Weihua Pharmaceutical store in Chenghuang Temple. Jiang Cheng, in order to conceal himself from others, stood next to Du Yuesheng dressed as a horseman. Before he reached the place, he saw many foreigners around him.
People are waiting around.
"Look, look, it's Du Yuesheng, he's here with something." A sharp-eyed reporter shouted loudly.
"It must be the latest arrival of penicillin. Go back and report that the new supply of penicillin has arrived." Several people who were obviously spies hurriedly went around to report the news.
"Haha, Boss Du, is that the one here?" A person who seemed to be very close to Du Yuesheng approached and asked.
"It's Boss Shi. If I were you, I would queue up at the door of the store right now." Du Yuesheng said in secret.
"I understand, I understand, I'll go right away." Boss Shi understood immediately after hearing this, and immediately ran to the Weihua Pharmaceutical store. In the four-storey Weihua Pharmaceutical store, Lin Guisheng and Yu Qiaqing were already there.
In charge of the overall situation inside, Huang Huangrong led dozens of his people to maintain order outside. A dozen policemen couldn't help but be stunned when they looked at the underworld maintaining order in front of them. They didn't know if they were still asleep. When did the underworld talk about civilization so much?
Already?
"Coming, coming." A sharp-eyed horse boy shouted, and a dozen horse boys immediately joined hands to separate a passage. Du Yuesheng and Jiang Cheng's motorcade stopped outside the store. Du Yuesheng stood in front of the door holding a
The loudspeaker shouted, "Gentlemen and girls, our latest penicillin from Weihua Pharmaceutical has arrived. I hope everyone can maintain good order and buy in order. Since many people made large reservations in the early stage, we will only receive people who have made reservations today.
Please bear with me."
"Boss Du, how can you do this? I just arrived in Shanghai today, and I have the hope of all the hospitals in Sichuan. If all the pre-orders are sold out, how can I have the nerve to go back and see you?
My fellow villagers." A man with a strong Sichuan accent said loudly.
Jiang Cheng frowned and nudged Du Yuesheng from behind. Du Yuesheng nodded to express his understanding and continued, "In view of the vast territory of our country, pharmaceutical representatives from many provinces have not arrived in Shanghai yet. Our Weihua Pharmaceutical is for China
As a company run by Chinese people, we will not only care about foreigners and ignore the Chinese people. Therefore, we will specially provide one-tenth of the medicines for domestic use only, and the others are first come, first served. Moreover, our medicine sources this time
It’s very abundant, and the price is 30 US dollars a bottle for foreigners. Of course, according to the old rule, Chinese people pay half the price.” When the Sichuan representative heard this sentence, he knew not to go too far, so he stopped talking.
Du Yuesheng watched the goods being moved in, nodded and said a few words to Huang Jinrong, then took Jiang Cheng in. Before entering, he said to a big man, "Ye Li, look outside."
Ye Li nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry, Mr. Du."
Jiang Cheng and Du Yuesheng sat on the second floor and watched the grand scene downstairs. Foreigners kept bringing gold in exchange for life-saving penicillin.
"I feel like we are still underestimating this penicillin. Mr. Jiang, you have to urge your side to transfer more supplies." Huang Huangrong smiled when he saw Huang Jin moving to the back.
"I will respond to this issue over there. I will leave to pick up the goods after a while, but I have to get the payment from here first." Jiang Cheng explained with a smile.
"Xiao Jiang, although our medicine is good, the price is still too expensive. Do you think we can think of ways to get some cheaper medicine to match the high and low prices?" Yu Qiaqing asked, "Mr. Yu's opinion, I will go back
I'll consider it." Jiang Cheng nodded and said yes.
"Come here, smash it!" Suddenly there was a burst of beating and yelling sounds from downstairs. Du Yuesheng and others looked at each other and frowned. Jiang Cheng was closest to the window and stepped forward to look down.
Seeing nearly a hundred men in bright red clothes rushing into the store with machetes and axes in hand, the disciples of Du Yuesheng and others below did not expect that someone would dare to take the business knowing that it was the business of a few white-faced people.
They attacked and were killed by surprise. A dozen of them were chopped down on the spot, and several compradors also fell into a pool of blood. Ye Li and his men drew out the short axes in their arms and resisted desperately.
"Who dares to be so bold?" Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded. This was the first time he saw people bleeding and dying at such a close distance. The screams and sounds of fighting kept hitting Jiang Cheng's nerves. "Police.
What?" Jiang Cheng, who came from modern times, habitually relied on the police for the first time and couldn't help but ask.
"It's right to have no police, brother Du, do you see anything?" Huang Huangrong seemed to be a different person at this time. He no longer looked like a reckless man. He was looking very seriously, and the corners of his mouth were raised, as if there was no bloody fighting place below.
, but the same as his favorite opera.
"Hmph, he has a certain amount of advance and retreat, and he also knows the art of combined strikes. He didn't say a word during the fight. He was clearly holding a short ax but held the handle with both hands. The passers-by and businessmen who were injured were all Chinese, not even a foreigner. So...
In my opinion, most of them are kid from the east." Du Yuesheng said, holding the window with his hands and it was already rattling, after all, most of the people below are his disciples.
At this time, the clerks and people resting in the store all reacted and rushed out to fight with the men in red. At this time, someone among the men in red shouted, "For the blood revenge of our comrades, kill them!!" "Don't be afraid of these!
Let’s kill the lackeys of the capitalists.”
"It's obvious, why do I feel so familiar?" Jiang Cheng had already realized what he said. Hearing these words, he looked at Yu Qiaqing and laughed angrily.
Yu Qiaqing snorted disdainfully, "These people only know how to sow discord."
At this time, a burst of neat footsteps came over, and a large group of Japanese soldiers wearing yellow military uniforms, helmets on their heads, and carrying 38 large caps on their shoulders ran over. The leader of the car was Kazuki Ito.
"Get these people." Ito Kazuki waved his hand, and these Japanese soldiers immediately rushed forward and fired a collective shot into the sky. The two fighting parties couldn't help but stop when they saw such a scene. Only the injured
The sound of wailing.
"Yamamoto-kun, Yamamoto-kun, what's wrong with you?" Ito Kazuki seemed to have suddenly discovered a new world. He rolled and crawled in front of an injured person dressed as a businessman. "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?" Ito said.
Tears flowed down and he said, "Who harmed you?" Then he lowered his head as if listening to something, then stood up and said, "Come here, take all these people back." Then the Japanese soldiers surrounded everyone.
They got up and let the non-Chinese go first, and then used bayonets to force everyone to squat aside. The men in red cooperated and squatted together. A group of Japanese soldiers surrounded them, but strangely the guns were pointed at them.
Outside.
Jiang Cheng, Du Yuesheng and others knew something was wrong when they saw the Japanese soldiers. When the shots were fired, Du Yuesheng stood up and said to a man next to him, "Jinshan, let the brothers inside get ready and take out all the guys." This.
The man was over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and spoke with a Northeastern accent, "Sir, don't worry, those devils will not take advantage of you outside."
"Jinshan escaped from the Northeast and is absolutely trustworthy." Du Yuesheng introduced to Jiang Cheng.
Huang Huangrong suddenly said, "There is something wrong with these Japanese people. Let's go down." He turned back to Lin Guisheng and said, "Guisheng, don't go down. Go out through the secret passage and call our people."
Lin Guisheng raised his eyebrows and said, "When will it be your turn to take care of me? When I was in the world, you were still serving tea and water." After saying that, he was the first to walk downstairs.
Huang Jinrong's face turned red and he couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to go on.
——Downstairs, Ito commanded the Japanese soldiers to surround the Green Gang members. Countless people, reporters, and foreigners were talking about it.
"I don't know if Mr. Ito came to our store and missed the welcome." Lin Guisheng took the cigarette rod and slowly walked towards Ito Kazuki. The blood on the ground quickly dyed her high heels red.
"Boss Lin, your clerk is acting like this here, don't you have anything to say?" Ito Kazuki said coldly.
"This is not a concession. Right and wrong are determined by the police. Moreover, there are clearly evil people attacking our pharmacy. We are acting in legal self-defense. What crime are we guilty of?" Lin Guisheng said disdainfully.
"Exactly, I wonder what Mr. Ito is here for? It seems that this place is not under the control of you Japanese." Huang Huangrong was afraid that Lin Guisheng would suffer a loss, so he quickly caught up from behind to get in the way.
"Humph, I don't care if you Chinese are beaten alive or dead, but if you hurt our citizens of the Empire of Japan, you must be responsible." Ito Kazuki walked towards the injured man and said, "We, the businessmen of the Empire of Japan, are here for you."
The door of the store was attacked and..."
"Report to Mr. Ito, Mr. Yamamoto is broken." A Japanese soldier suddenly said loudly.
"Yamamoto-kun?? No, it's impossible." Ito seemed to be crazy, waving the civilized stick and said, "Boss Lin, someone must be responsible for this. I ask to take over this place, and you all must go to the public concession to be investigated."
"I wonder how many things will go missing after you take over?" Yu Qiaqing said disdainfully.
"Boss Yu, what do you mean by this? Do you want to lose our friendship with the Japanese Empire?" Ito stared at Yu Qiaqing fiercely, and the surrounding Japanese soldiers also loaded their guns and aimed at everyone in Weihua Pharmaceutical.
"Use the gun? I want to see who has the most guns?" Huang Jinrong said sternly, and with a wave of his hand, all the windows on the second floor were opened, and all the machine guns and submachine guns were pointed at the Japanese troops outside.
Ito Kazuki looked at the black muzzle of the gun in front of him, took a step back, and shouted sternly, "What do you want to do? Do you want to start a war? Do you want to have another Shanghai Incident?"
"I think you want to provoke a war? Mr. Ito, do you represent your country Japan? Have you forgotten the Songhu Armistice Agreement? Why are your Japanese troops here?" A voice suddenly came from behind.
Although I could barely understand what was being said, it was in Chinese, but it was obviously not spoken by a Chinese person. The speaker was a foreigner, and there was a middle-aged woman standing next to her. The woman was not in good spirits, as if she was recovering from a serious illness.
"Oh~ Mr. Johnson, is this your wife, Ms. Ada? Can you get out of bed already?" Yu Qiaqing laughed when she saw the person coming and introduced, "This is the American Minister Mr. Johnson.
Bit is."
"Mr. Du, Boss Huang, I have admired your name for a long time. I have heard of your name when I came to this magical Oriental Magic City. Thank you for the medicines manufactured by your company that saved my wife's life." Jason didn't wait for Yu Qiaqing to finish his introduction.
Just said.
"Mr. Ito, I think there is something fishy about this matter. How about we let all our countries form a joint investigation team to investigate this matter? By then, the matter will naturally come to light soon." Jason squinted at Ito.
Kazuki said slightly pointedly, "I think this matter is worthy of discussion in the League of Nations. The army's attack on the pharmacy will definitely bring glory to Japan's face. Your emperor will definitely reward you well."
"
Kazuki Ito's hands were shaking with anger, and he tried desperately to control his other hand with one hand. At this time, a Japanese officer in military uniform next to him lowered his head and said to Kazuki Ito, "Sir, the plan has changed. We should withdraw."
Alright."
Ito Kazuki nodded reluctantly, hating the United States in his heart, and shouted "Retreat." He turned back to look at Wei Hua and his group and said, "There is an old saying in China, green mountains will not change, green water will always flow, we will see.
.”
Seeing Ito withdrawing with the Japanese soldiers and putting away the guns upstairs, Jiang Cheng looked at the scene as if it were in a movie. For the first time, he discovered that behind the scenes of the bustling Shanghai Beach, there was such chaos and the smell of gunpowder.
Seriously, looking at Du Yuesheng and others hiding so many guns shows that they had foreseen it.
"Mr. Jason, let's talk upstairs." Yu Qiaqing smiled and called everyone upstairs. Du Yuesheng and Huang Huangrong directed their men to clean the place and let the merchants continue to line up to buy. Huang Huangrong smiled and said loudly, "This surprised everyone. Today we
The medicines are sold at a 10% discount. After the injured are registered, someone will pay their medical expenses. If they are not injured, we will take care of the elderly and children, and we will also provide a heavy settlement allowance. Please bear with me for today's accident."
The merchants cheered loudly, and boxes of penicillin began to be exchanged for gold.
——
Upstairs, everyone was sitting down. Jason looked at Jiang Cheng and asked strangely, "This gentleman is unfamiliar. I don't know his name."
"This is also a shareholder of Weihua Pharmaceutical, his name is Jiang Cheng." Yu Qiaqing introduced.
Jason nodded and thought that Jiang Cheng was just a small shareholder. He no longer looked at him and said to everyone, "The first reason I came here is to thank Weihua Pharmaceutical for saving my Ada's life with the penicillin. Ada insisted on doing it herself."
Come and thank me." After speaking, Ada stood up and said "Thank you" in extremely blunt language.
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "We invented this drug to save more people's lives. What's there to thank you for? Mr. Johnson and Ms. Ada are so polite."
Jensen added, "Another main purpose is that on behalf of the U.S. government, I hope to invite Weihua Pharmaceutical to build a factory in the United States, and we in the United States will provide the most preferential policies."
Yu Qiaqing and Lin Guisheng looked at each other and finally looked at Jiang Cheng, which surprised Jason. Could it be that this humble young man was the biggest boss of Weihua Pharmaceutical?
Jiang Cheng lowered his head and thought for a moment and said tactfully, "I'm sorry, Mr. Johnson, we cannot agree to your request. I believe you have seen it today. Our country is about to face an unprecedented crisis. We, Weihua Pharmaceutical, must stay in
China and China will live and die together." After that, he stood up and said, "As for the needs of the American people, I guarantee that as long as the United States places an order, we will do whatever it takes to deliver the medicines to the hands of the American people."
Jason shook his head helplessly, "To be honest, I am not optimistic about the fight between China and Japan. You must know that you have never won in the past hundred years, and the steel output of your two countries is not at all of the same order of magnitude."
Jiang Cheng smiled confidently, "What we want to see is that China is different now. With the nominal unified government, we can unite, and the people have slowly awakened their national consciousness, allowing us to launch people's war.
Mr. Johnson, no matter when and where, war is always more than just a comparison of the quantity of steel. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have to fight. Just compare last year’s steel production and you will know.”
"People's War? What is this?" Jason shook his head in confusion. "I see in you a confidence that I have never seen in the Chinese. I hope you can create miracles."
"Mr. Johnson, what is coming this time is a national war. It can be said that we must fight if we can win, we must fight if we cannot win, and we must fight to save a generation." Jiang Cheng replied, "What you will see is not
A miracle, but a reality to come.”
"That's right. The national war is not about fighting for profit. You can't just go in when things are good and hide when you see difficulties. Brother Jiang, I wish I was thirty years younger, otherwise I have to carry a gun and fight with those little devils.
." Huang Huangrong shouted loudly as he went upstairs.
Jason shook his head helplessly, and finally declined the dinner invitations from several people, and went back to report to the country.
