Chapter 20: Farewell to the Great World

The next day, Jiang Cheng was woken up by the shouting downstairs. From the window, he could see that there were countless workers working on the construction site not far away. From time to time, he could see children walking through the construction site. Some big ones

The children will also help move bricks and so on. You can also see Jinshan leading people around, correcting the workers' practices from time to time.

Jiang Cheng opened the door and when he saw Huang Biao, he moved a stool and sat at the door, seemingly guarding him all night.

Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "Huang Biao, what are you doing? Didn't you have a rest all night?"

Huang Biao stood up quickly, patted his clothes and said, "Mr. Jiang is up. I have a rest. Can I take a nap from time to time? I am mainly afraid that it is the first time for Mr. Jiang to live in this house. If there is anything he is not used to, those brothers are all clumsy."

, I’m afraid I won’t be able to serve you well.”

Jiang Cheng said unhappily, "Am I still unsafe here? You didn't get a good rest last night, how can I take you to do things today? Forget it, go and have a rest. Bashun probably stayed all night yesterday.

Jinshan still wants to see the construction site, you ask Ding Jie to come, and I will go with him."

Huang Biao became anxious after hearing this and said, "No, boss, Ding Jie is a laborer. Tell me what it means to let a laborer be a bodyguard. Don't worry, Mr. Jiang. When I was fighting in the Central Plains, I didn't sleep for three days and three nights."

There are all of them, but I still squinted this night, so it doesn’t matter.”

Jiang Cheng couldn't resist him, so he had to say, "Why don't we prepare things quickly? We have to cross the river."

Jiang Cheng held a fried dough stick in one hand and Huang Biao's shell gun in the other. This was Jiang Cheng's first time playing with weapons by himself. He didn't ask because it was too late yesterday. After talking about Huang Biao today, he found that Huang Biao also had two shell guns, so he immediately obeyed.

He took one to play with, Huang Biao followed behind, but kept staring at the gun in Jiang Cheng's hand. This was the first time in six years that he touched a gun, and he had feelings for this gun.

Jiang Cheng looked at Huang Biao with a funny look. After he was done with it, he left it to him. He stepped forward to look around the construction site. When Jinshan saw Jiang Cheng, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, you're here. It's almost half a month away."

Well, everyone is grateful to you."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "This is a house they built for themselves to live in. The land is not valuable. Although the materials for the house are discounted, they are all paid for with labor money. What else can there be to thank you for?"

Jinshan said, "Mr. Jiang, you have been abroad all year round and don't know the sufferings of our people. We have a jingle here: Those who work in the fields are short of rice; those who dry the salt drink weak soup; those who weave and weave have no clothes; those who weave mats

There are no beds to sleep on. If you listen to it, you will know how sad the life of the common people is."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Yes, now we have warlords fighting in China and Japanese invaders outside. Take your time. We will stand up one day. Jinshan, just watch the construction site here. I and I

Huang Biao went to Shanghai."

Jinshan nodded in understanding and went back to work.

Jiang Cheng looked at it and felt that it was almost done, so he and Huang Biao went back to the warehouse first. When they arrived at the warehouse, Jiang Cheng pointed to the marked boxes and said, "Huang Biao, open all these boxes, except for the engineer shovel.

Leave the gas masks and binoculars alone. For the rest, pick one from each of the ten brothers, put it on and come out to see me." After that, he left the warehouse and sat down at the gate to rest.

Huang Biao asked his brothers to open all the boxes immediately. When he opened them, he was shocked to see that they were all camouflage uniforms, helmets and the like.

A member of the security team said, "Brother Huang, our boss is going to rebel, right? Why do these clothes feel better than those of the Central Army?"

Huang Biao gritted his teeth, slapped the member on the head and said, "So what if it's a rebellion? What are you wearing, eating, and using now that don't belong to your employer? Don't say it's not a rebellion, even if you rebel, we will die and we have nothing to say.

"

The security guard held his tongue and said, "I didn't say not to go. Anyone who doesn't will be a grandson."

Another security guard hurriedly advised, "The dog is just talking nonsense. Brother Huang, let's put it on quickly. The boss is still waiting outside."

Huang Biao then stopped and asked everyone to hurry up and change clothes. After changing, everyone, look at me and I look at you.

The bitch said without losing his memory, "My dear, what are these? What are these clothes, this fabric, this helmet, and these shoes made of? Why are they so comfortable?"

Huang Biao said fiercely, "Ignorant guy, don't be embarrassed. Are you all dressed? Come on, come with me. My boss is still waiting outside."

After saying that, he led the security guards out of the warehouse. At this time, there were many security guards surrounding the warehouse entrance. It was Bashun who heard that Jiang Cheng was coming and quickly brought people to take a look.

As soon as Bashun saw Huang Biao's outfit, he was speechless. He walked around Huang Biao and said, "What are you dressed like this? Why do you look so good? What's the black clothes on the outside of these clothes?"

ah?"

Huang Biao took two steps deliberately after hearing this and said, "These are all rewards given to the brothers by the boss. Look at these shoes, look at this helmet, and this armed belt. Well, Brother B, look at this little brother's outfit.

Is it appropriate?”

Bashun's eyes turned red when he saw it. He pulled Jiang Cheng's clothes and immediately started to cry. "My boss, you can't do this. This is too biased. Huang Biao is the vice-captain," he said.

, why did he put on the good stuff first?"

Jiang Cheng was made to laugh and cry by these two treasures and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? You also have these clothes. Also, this black one is a bulletproof vest that can prevent bullets from dozens of meters away."

Bashun's eyes became redder after hearing this. He was jumping up and down anxiously. Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "There are two hundred sets in the warehouse. I want to take 100 sets to Nanjing. Then I will take 40 sets with my brothers. I will also take 60 sets."

The set is divided among four bosses."

Bashun heard and laughed and said, "I know my boss won't be partial." Then he snorted at Huang Biao and took people to get clothes.

Jiang Cheng then said to Huang Biao, "Take these brothers, call a few trucks, load 60 sets of equipment, gas masks, binoculars and engineer shovels, and then move the bicycles and blue boxes next to them.

Carry a box of medicine and go to the big world with me."

Huang Biao responded and took the people to work.

It was almost eleven o'clock when we arrived at the big world. It was really inconvenient in the era without subway. Jiang Cheng got off the car, followed by Huang Biao. The passers-by saw them talking and wondering who the general was. As soon as he entered the door

, I heard Huang Huangrong’s signature laugh.

"Brother Jiang, I miss my brothers so much. Come on, come on, we old guys are waiting for you." After saying that, he pulled Jiang Cheng up.

Huang Biao looked at it and wanted to pull away Huang Jinrong's hand. Jiang Cheng saw it and quickly stopped him and shouted, "Boss Huang is my eldest brother, what are you doing?"

Huang Biao didn't say anything. He just looked at Huang Huangrong. Huang Huangrong laughed and said, "Okay, okay, brother Jiang, you have found a treasure. I seem to have seen Dian Wei from back then." Huang Huangrong suddenly discovered Huang Biao's

Dressed differently, he took a step back and looked at it carefully and said, "Where did your brother's clothes come from? Why can't I tell the date?"

Jiang Cheng took the initiative to hold Huang Jinrong's hand and said, "Then I am Cao Cao, who is my brother? Let's talk about these clothes when we go up. They are my gifts to my brothers."

"Who is he? Of course he is the lustful Dong Zhuo. He has been waiting for you two. Why haven't you come up for a long time?" Lin Guisheng walked down and said directly to Jiang Cheng without looking at Huang Jinrong, "You don't know.

If you don't come back for half a month, Mr. Yu will be very anxious. Let's go up and talk."

Jiang Cheng was puzzled, so he followed him up. As soon as he arrived in the room, he saw Yu Qiaqing standing up and saying to Jiang Cheng, "Xiao Jiang, I finally have you back. Three telegrams have come from Nanjing asking for you."

When will you come back? I'm almost dying of anxiety."

Yu Qiaqing was a die-hard member of the White Party. Seeing that Jiang Jie was so eager to ask Jiang Cheng to go to Nanjing, he naturally encouraged him with all his strength.

"Xiao Jiang, you must go to Nanjing when you come back this time. I heard that people from several countries have come to ask about our company. Mr. Jiang is probably going to ask you something. You have to be prepared.

ah."

Jiang Cheng nodded to express his understanding.

Du Yuesheng waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about the boring stuff. Brother Jiang, what is the dress of this brother behind you? Why have I never seen such a dress? The patterns on this dress seem a bit interesting. Isn't it difficult to be seen from a distance?

Found it?"

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "As expected of Boss Du, his eyes are indeed vicious. This is the latest equipment of our organization." Then he pointed to the body armor on Huang Biao and said, "Other things are very similar to the equipment of other countries, but

Look at this, this is a bulletproof vest, a pistol can't shoot through it."

Huang Huangrong had been losing his appetite for a long time from the beginning, but now he finally knew what was going on. He touched Huang Biao's clothes excitedly, which made Huang Biao not used to it for a while.

Huang Huangrong said, "Can I give it a try?"

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, Huang Biao, take off your clothes."

Huang Biao felt like crying when he heard it. He had only worn it for less than a day, and he didn't dare to disobey, so he took off his clothes and handed them to Huang Huangrong.

Huang Huangrong touched it, hung the body armor on the shelf next to him, took the bodyguard's shell gun next to him, and shot the body armor. When the people outside the door heard the gunfire, they wanted to break in. Huang Huangrong laughed and said, "

Don't come in, they're having fun inside." After saying that, he threw the gun back to the bodyguard, took back the body armor, looked at it and said, "Awesome, I really didn't wear it, what is this grandma's made of?"

When several other bosses heard this, they also stepped forward to take a look and were amazed.

Jiang Cheng saw that the effect was good and said, "I have prepared 60 sets of this equipment. If you take it back, it can provide more protection for the brothers."

Du Yuesheng bowed seriously to Jiang Cheng and said, "I thank Brother Jiang for those things."

Huang Jinrong, Lin Guisheng, and Yu Qiaqing also paid their respects and said, "Thank you, Brother Jiang."

Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "This is what we should do. We are all our own people. It would be too foreign to say so."

Sitting down again, Du Yuesheng asked, "How much did you bring this time? Let me tell you, the penicillin has almost been sold out, and now only a few thousand bottles are being sold at high prices."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I not only brought penicillin this time, I also brought a large amount of sulfa."

Huang Jinrong smiled and said, "Grandma, we also brought sulfa. How many did you bring this time?"

Jiang Cheng raised his hand and said, "I accepted some of the suggestions last time. Let's take a look at our new goods." Huang Biao then moved a box in. Jiang Cheng gestured to open it and saw bottles and jars inside.

A lot of cans.

"This is the ordinary version of penicillin. It only has 8,000 units, which is basically enough for modern times. This is the 8W version, and this one is the same 80W version. I brought them separately."

Du Yuesheng clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this will allow more people to buy our penicillin."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "Actually, the price of penicillin is still on the high side. My highlight this time is this, sulfa." Then he took out a glass bottle.

"This bottle contains 50 sulfonamide pills. The correct name is cotrimoxazole. Dear brothers, this pill is 0.4 grams. There are 100 pills in one bottle. I have brought a total of 200,000 bottles."

Several people were very excited when they heard this. 200,000 bottles of sulfonamide, 100 pills in a bottle, is 20 million pills. This is a drug that is as valuable as gold in the Western world.

"How should we price this? According to the current price, this is 10 million US dollars." Lin Guisheng was a little confused.

At this time, a Mauser 98K costs about 30 to 50 US dollars. This ten million US dollars can buy at least 200,000 Mauser guns.

"You can't sell it so expensively. You won't be able to sell it quickly. I have a high output." Jiang Cheng shook his head and said.

"The output is very high? How high, tell us." Du Yuesheng asked curiously.

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and decided that he should hide it a little bit and said, "I can produce 100 tons of sulfonamides a year, which means this is just my output in a month."

Du Yuesheng said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. The supply of this medicine has always been in short supply. We can sell out these medicines in two or three weeks."

Jiang Cheng said, "I'm afraid we don't have that much time. We are all our own people. I will tell you some secrets." After saying that, he turned back to look at Huang Biao.

Huang Biao immediately took the other bodyguards in the room out and said loudly, "Everyone, please stay 10 meters away." After that, he closed the door.

Yu Qiaqing nodded and praised, "Xiao Jiang, you are a good bodyguard. You have good eyesight and are a talent."

Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's true that I made a few big brothers laugh." After saying that, he said with a straight face, "I hope you won't leak what I'm going to say, otherwise it will easily plunge our country into chaos."

Seeing that several people also became serious. Jiang Cheng said slowly... Jiang Cheng said, "According to the latest information obtained by our organization, the Japanese are preparing to repeat what happened in Northeast China in the north on the night of July 7th."

Yu Qiaqing and others were startled when they heard this. Du Yuesheng turned his eyes and asked, "Is it Peking?"

Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "As expected of Boss Du, his eyes are indeed vicious."

Yu Qiaqing said anxiously, "Then we need to report it to the Nanjing government quickly. Now that Japan has come to preach peace several times, there is already an argument that Japan and China can live in peace."

Huang Jinrong also nodded in approval and said, "Brother Yu is right. The China-Japan Trade Association has been very active recently. It has been saying that it will turn war into friendship. Many people believe their arguments. After all, for those businessmen

, peace can bring more benefits, and benefits are more important than anything else."

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "No, it's useless. Over in Peking is Song Zheyuan. He values ​​the army and territory more than anything else now. We only have to be prepared for a big war so that when the war starts, we won't be unable to fight back."

.”

After all, Lin Guisheng is a woman, and what she values ​​most is her current interests. "So what does this have to do with our current drug sales?"

Jiang Cheng said, "Of course it does matter. The main reason why we can make such huge profits now is that most of our customers are foreigners and earn money from Western countries. Such high prices will not have a big market in China.

Moreover, once the war breaks out, let alone making money at a high price domestically, our penicillin should be given away for free as long as the country needs it."

Huang Huangrong touched his head and said to Lin Guisheng, "Guisheng, that means we only have a few months to make money. When the Japanese come in, they won't let us make money like this."

Lin Gui said angrily, "I know, do you want you to talk more?"

Du Yuesheng quickly interrupted, "Then what does Brother Jiang mean?"

Jiang Cheng said, "My idea is that now my factory can produce sulfonamides in large quantities, so I am planning to dump sulfonamides, not to sell them in Shanghai, but to go out to the United States and Europe, so that our income can be even greater."

"

Jiang Cheng prepared to open branches in other countries last night. Now he can make four time stamps, one in Shanghai, one in Nanjing, and two more to go to Europe and America.

Du Yuesheng said, "This is not a bad thing, but sales in the United States and Europe in this area may not be completed within two months. Isn't the time too tight?"

Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "We don't want to take the water route. We will send people to fly directly to Europe and America. I believe that as long as we tell them that we are planning to sell sulfa, they will give us the green light to fly all the way there."

Yu Qiaqing said, "In this case, it will take about two to three days to reach Europe and America. Although it is not safe, you can save the time."

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Our organization has already started shipping the goods to Europe and America. As long as they are ready there, the goods can be shipped to the warehouse within a week. In this way, we can hit the ground running. As for the price..."

Yu Qiaqing smiled and said, "Since it is dumping, of course it should be lower. The current production of sulfa drugs in the United States is 310 tons, but this is far from meeting the needs of the United States. The price remains high. So, our sulfonamides will always be

It’s 20% off other companies’ prices, but externally it’s publicized that our company sells medicines at a loss in order to increase brand awareness.”

Du Yuesheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this. Let's build momentum in Shanghai first, and then send people to open branches in the West at the same time."

Jiang Cheng praised, "Yes, now we just need to grab time. The sooner we can use the money we get to buy more military supplies. Our big war with the Japanese this time will definitely not be a matter of months like before. It will be us."

In a life-and-death battle with the Japanese, you must be prepared for a long-term battle. No matter how much military supplies you have, you will not be afraid."

Yu Qiaqing asked worriedly, "Xiao Jiang, you are well-informed. How long will this war last?"

Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "We will fight until we win. Everyone, please be prepared for a war that will last at least five years and up to ten years."

At this time, Lin Guisheng showed the air of an elder sister and said, "We have been fighting a civil war for decades, so what if we fight a national war for ten years?"

Huang Huangrong responded quickly, "Yes, yes, the national war can last as long as it takes. Are you right, Guisheng?"

Lin Guisheng looked disgusted and said, "Virtue~~"

Everyone laughed when they saw this pair of enemies whose combined age was almost a hundred years old.

While talking about things and eating wine and food, Jiang Cheng learned that a lot of things happened during the half month he left, and he also made a lot of money. The medicine he brought last time brought a total of about 36,000 taels.

Gold, on the other hand, made up for all the gold that Jiang Cheng took away last time. As long as many Chinese pharmacies began to use penicillin, there was a lot of backflow.

Everyone had almost finished talking and was about to disperse. Jiang Cheng was about to go back to the warehouse. Yu Qiaqing grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? You have a house in Shanghai now, have you forgotten?"

Jiang Cheng then remembered that he did mention that he wanted to buy a house near Yu Qiaqing's house last time, and said, "I forgot about this. Thanks to Mr. Yu for reminding me, is the house ready?"

Yu Qiaqing nodded and said, "It's right next to my house. I asked someone to make a small door in the middle to make it easier for us to come and go. Zhimin is also at home and I've always wanted to see you." After that, he pulled Jiang Cheng to the car.

Anxious, Huang Biao quickly followed. Fortunately, Jiang Cheng stopped him in time, allowing Huang Biao and the others to follow behind.
