When they got to the car, Jiang Cheng asked, "Mr. Yu, what exactly do you have to say to me alone?"
Yu Qiaqing smiled and said, "You are really a smart guy. You know that I have something to do with you. Chairman Chiang also said some things in his telegram. I can't take it seriously in front of Du Yuesheng and the others. Chairman Chiang sent a telegram to say
, Germany wants to get your penicillin formula and production process, what do you think?"
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and thought for a while and said, "There is nothing really difficult about the process of penicillin. Even if we don't say anything, I think Germany can produce it in two or three years at most." He opened his eyes and said.
"I decided to give it to Germany."
Yu Qiaqing was so frightened that she grabbed Jiang Cheng's hand and said, "Are you crazy? We don't need to give away such a precious thing like penicillin for nothing even to get German military equipment. You are really a bastard. Don't you feel sorry for me?"
.”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't say it was given to Germany for nothing. This was developed by our organization with the greatest efforts. How could it be given to the Germans for nothing?"
Yu Qiaqing asked, "What do you mean?"
Jiang Cheng analyzed, "Mr. Yu, what do you think is the reason for the current comprehensive cooperation between China and Germany?"
Yu Qiaqing thought for a while and said, "Everyone has their own needs."
Jiang Cheng nodded in approval and said, "Yes, the reasons for comprehensive cooperation between China and Germany are very simple. First, China needs German industry, and Germany needs Chinese resources, which are complementary. Second, Germany hopes that there will be a powerful force in the east that can attract the Soviet Union."
Hitler's purpose is to hope that China can hold a leg of the Soviet Union, but once we fight Japan, what does Mr. Yu think we will be like in the early stage?"
Yu Qiaqing sighed and said, "We just said at the wine table that we must be prepared for a long-term war. In the early stages of our battle with the Japanese, we must lose more than we win."
Jiang Cheng nodded and continued, "So, at that time, China's role for Germany will be getting smaller and smaller. I believe that the final result will be that Germany abandons China and stays with Japan. Therefore, I asked for penicillin this time.
It's very simple, as long as all orders placed before China and Germany cut off diplomatic relations, Germany must ensure that all orders are delivered to the Chinese government, no matter what happens then."
Yu Qiaqing also understood Jiang Cheng's approach. After all, according to Jiang Cheng, even if he didn't give it, Germany could research it on its own, so why not use this as an exchange condition.
After a while, they arrived at Yu's house. The lights of Yu's house were still bright at this time. After getting off the car, they saw Lin Bao, Yu Yishan and Yu Zhimin, who was all covered in bandages, at the door. Seeing Jiang Cheng coming down, Yu Zhimin first said, "Thank you.
Mr. Jiang’s life-saving grace.”
Jiang Cheng was so frightened that he quickly ran away and quickly helped him up and said, "I'm just a medicine seller, and your injury is not serious. You can get better without my medicine. There's no kindness to say, not to mention that Mr. Yu helped me."
Too much, to be honest, I owe you the Yu family."
Yu Qiaqing smiled and said, "No one owes anyone anything. Today is Xiao Jiang's first time coming to his new home. Let's all be happy. Let's go in."
Lin Bao also stepped forward and said, "My boss, fortunately I have fulfilled my mission. This house has finally been tidied up before my boss comes back, but there are still some servants missing."
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I'm usually away from home. Don't prepare too many people. Just prepare a few people to help me clean the house."
At this time, Yu Yishan finally found the opportunity to rush to the truck of Huang Biao and others behind her. She had already seen the strange-shaped bicycle on the truck.
"What is this? Is it my gift?" Yu Yishan shouted excitedly.
"Yes, these are the latest bicycles we have developed. Huang Biao, go and unload the bicycles."
Huang Biao responded, and he and several others moved the bicycles down. Yu Yishan happily circled around the bicycles when she saw them.
Since it was spring, it was a good time for a spring outing. Jiang Cheng suggested, "Why don't we take some time to go riding bicycles together for a spring outing."
Yu Yishan jumped up happily and shouted, "Okay, can I ask all my classmates to come?"
However, Yu Qiaqing said, "The China-Japan Trade Association has been very active recently. Why not take this opportunity to invite more business people to form an alliance and prepare for this matter in the future."
Yu Yishan said unhappily, "A good spring outing is going to be ruined again."
Jiang Cheng said, "It's okay. We can go somewhere by bicycle. Let's do it this way. It's in Sheshan. It's convenient for sightseeing. Are there any villas or something like that over there?"
Yu Zhimin interjected, "A cathedral has just been built over there in the past two years. I think it's better to just hang out near the church."
Jiang Cheng suddenly thought of the lawn weddings of later generations and said, "Okay, why not find a big lawn? We will have a buffet style. It will be fun."
When Yu Qiaqing saw that Jiang Cheng's most important thing was playing, he shook his head and said nothing. He had to call everyone in and said, "Okay, let's talk about it after we go in. Xiao Jiang, in order to deceive others, your door did not say "Jiang Family", but "I am Yu Family".
I bought it in the name of expanding the hospital, no problem."
Jiang Cheng quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yu. I really didn't think of this level."
Since there was nothing in Jiang Cheng's house, Jiang Cheng still ate and drank at Yu's house. After the family dinner in the evening, Jiang Cheng rested in the yard and looked at the stars in the sky. He couldn't help feeling how wonderful the world was. Yesterday he was in the 21st century, but today he is
Came to Shanghai in 1937.
"Why are you laughing?" Yu Yishan suddenly appeared behind Jiang Cheng and asked.
"I'm laughing at the little fool who sneaked up behind me for a long time." Jiang Cheng recognized Yu Yishan's voice and said jokingly.
"Hate~~~Brother Cheng, I heard from grandpa that you are going to Nanjing soon?" Yu Yishan also sat on the stool opposite the booth and asked.
"Yeah, the Nanjing government has called me several times. I'm going to leave tomorrow." Jiang Cheng sighed.
"Why so fast? Can't you stay for two more days?" Yu Yishan said unhappily. "I still want to ride a bicycle with you."
"Shanshan, I'm going to do business, and I'll be back soon. Well, let's have a party. I'll let Mr. Yu stay at night, and I'll play with you during the day, okay?" Jiang Cheng looked at it.
Seeing this girl who is like his sister, he said softly.
"Hmph, I don't want you to accompany me." Yu Yishan snorted and turned away embarrassedly, then hesitated and said, "But seeing how pitiful you are, I will agree to accompany you, but I want you."
Pick me up from school."
Jiang Cheng almost cried when he heard this. Yu Yishan's school was at what would later be known as Fudan University. It was 30 kilometers away from Sheshan. When he thought about riding a bicycle for 30 kilometers, Jiang Cheng felt his calves were shaking. He was just about to say something.
, Yu Yishan jumped away and walked away.
"My roommate is naughty, I hope Mr. Jiang can forgive me." Jiang Cheng had a feeling that all the Yu family members were elusive. Just now Yu Yishan left, and this Yu Zhimin came again. "No, no, Shanshan is innocent and cute.
,I really like her."
Yu Zhimin's eyes flashed after hearing this, but without saying anything, he changed the topic and said, "I heard that Brother Jiang is planning to expand his business to Europe and the United States? I wonder if there is a suitable candidate?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "I really don't have a candidate yet. Let Mr. Yu and Boss Du help me choose first."
Yu Zhimin said sheepishly, "I wonder what Mr. Jiang thinks of me?"
Only then did Jiang Cheng know the purpose of his visit. He looked at Yu Zhimin and shook his head, "No, we in Europe and the United States have to start construction immediately. It's better for you to rest at home due to your injury."
Yu Zhimin sighed and said, "It's all my fault, damn little Japan."
Jiang Cheng asked, "I wonder if the Japanese came to cause trouble again later."
Yu Zhimin nodded and said, "How can there be no such thing? I have been here several times, but my grandfather sent me back. I always hope that our family will also join the China-Japan Trade Association."
Jiang Cheng said, "Bake it up and be patient for a while longer. The Japanese will not continue to be arrogant."
Yu Zhimin added, "The Japanese have approached us several times, hoping to buy penicillin at a fair price, but we have refused. I always feel that something will happen, otherwise we should lower the price for the Japanese."
Jiang Cheng stared at Yu Zhimin for a while, and Yu Zhimin couldn't bear it and said, "I'm not afraid of the Japanese, but it's just not a problem for the Japanese to cause trouble again and again."
Jiang Cheng nodded and walked around a few times, looked at Yu Zhimin and said, "You said that if Wei Hua wanted to annex the Yu family, would you be angry?"
Yu Zhimin was puzzled when he heard it. He said stupidly, "I think so, but I'm afraid my Yu family is not in Mr. Jiang's eyes."
Jiang Cheng chuckled and said, "Sell, why not sell? Not just sell, but also make a big sale. How about I leave this job to you?"
Yu Zhimin didn't quite understand and said, "What on earth does Mr. Jiang mean? I don't quite understand."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "You'll understand later. In this case, let's go find your grandpa and discuss it together."
Next, Jiang Cheng talked with Yu Zhimin and Yu Qiaqing all night. He didn't know what they talked about.
The next day Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing took a bus to Nanjing, accompanied by Huang Biao and several large trucks, which contained medicines and individual soldier equipment Jiang Cheng brought from modern times.
At this time, Huang Biao and others had all put on this set of equipment. When they encountered checkpoints on the way, they thought they belonged to some army, and made a lot of jokes.
——Nanjing has a history of more than 6,000 years of civilization, nearly 2,600 years of city building and nearly 500 years of capital building. It is one of the four ancient capitals in China. It is known as the "ancient capital of six dynasties" and the "city of ten dynasties". It is the representative of Chinese civilization.
An important birthplace, it has been the political and cultural center of southern China for a long time in history. Unfortunately, this city seems to be just like the legend. The dragon's veins were dug out by Qin Shihuang. As long as the dynasty had its capital in Nanjing, it was short-lived. The Ming Dynasty was also in Nanjing.
After only two generations, they were replaced by uncles from the north. And because there have been so many massacres in Nanjing, people often complain that Nanjing's scenic spots are all graves. And the next massacre is coming, less than a year away.
Time has passed, and the people here have not felt the approaching misfortune at all, and are still working hard and running around for their own livelihoods.
When Jiang Cheng and his party arrived in Nanjing, they were stopped by guards. Perhaps they were worried after seeing how Huang Biao and others were dressed. They made a phone call for a long time to confirm before letting them go.
Jiang Cheng and others arrived at Yu Qiaqing's residence in Nanjing. After cleaning up, Yu Qiaqing said, "I'll go to the Presidential Palace first. You can look around in Nanjing. I'll let you know when there is news."
Jiang Cheng nodded and agreed, "No problem, I'll look around, Mr. Yu, go and do your work."
Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered that he had promised Gallagher to visit the church last time. Seeing that it was still early, he decided to go to St. Paul's Church, the earliest church in Nanjing. He called Huang Biao and others and drove to the church.
Nanjing St. Paul's Church was completed in 1923 and is the first official Christian church in Nanjing. However, it is not big in size, with a construction area of only 485.6 square meters. It can be said that it is not as big as a modern villa. Today is Saturday, and there are still people in the church.
While doing his homework, Jiang Cheng rushed over excitedly.
When they arrived at the place, they saw that the church was more than ten meters high and looked like a Gothic building. Jiang Cheng saw the entrance of the church and many cars parked, so he asked Huang Biao and others to wait outside, and walked into the church alone.
, the church was not big, and there were a few foreigners and others studying the Bible in English. This made Jiang Cheng, who had failed to pass CET-4 English, very confused. At this time, a foreigner saw Jiang Cheng and came forward.
Said "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "I'm interested in Christianity. Would you like to come and listen to it?"
"The teachings of Christianity are originally for the world, and everyone can listen to them. I hope you will come to Christ as soon as possible and receive salvation!" A middle-aged Chinese woman also came forward and said.
This middle-aged woman was not dressed luxuriously, but she looked noble, and she looked like she was well educated.
"I'm just going to listen and won't disturb you." Jiang Cheng said embarrassedly and sat aside without saying a word.
The middle-aged woman sat down next to him and said, "Do you understand English?"
"Yes, do you understand English?" Jiang Cheng also asked Gallagher, "Nonsense, what can't I, Lord Gallagher, understand? It's just simple English? Ask her if she understands insect language.
?" Gallagher said angrily, as if he was angry that this woman doubted his IQ.
Jiang Cheng ignored Gallagher's call and said, "I have lived abroad all year round. I can understand basically all languages, but I can't speak them well." This is so that if a conversation is needed, he can repeat Gallagher's pronunciation accurately.
It's very difficult.
The lady nodded and said, "Then do you understand what they are discussing?"
Here I would like to explain to some friends who don’t know much about religion that the church does not just worship all day long, but also has many religious activities, such as literacy classes, English gatherings, Bible study gatherings, English Bible studies, and youth gatherings.
Etc. The main time for worship is Sunday, and most of the other times are spent doing other things.
English Bible study is actually mainly based on the study of the original text of the Bible. It can be said to be a method for Christians to learn from each other.
Gallagher smiled and said, "Tell her, what we are discussing now is Chapter 24 of Matthew in the New Testament, the end of the world. I can't stand people who show off with little knowledge. Look at this poor monk, am I showing off?"
"
Jiang Cheng's brows jumped. Isn't this called showing off? He knew clearly that I didn't understand, so he smiled and said to the lady, "What we are talking about now is Chapter 24 of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. The end is coming."
The lady smiled and said, "Yes, the end is coming. Do you believe in the end? What do you think we should do when the end is really coming?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "The reason why we humans have religion is because of fear, fear of the past, fear of reality, fear of the future, and of course fear of the end. Our Taoism says that the Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan
49. The way of heaven is missing, but there is a glimmer of hope. I don’t think there is anything to be afraid of in the end. The arrival of the end is just a rebirth, just like the great flood. Only after the great flood did we have this prosperous world.
What? The most important thing is that we have to work hard when facing the end, so that we can defeat the end."
The lady nodded and said, "You are very interesting. Most of the people who come here are here to get the Lord's favor and escape the doomsday, but they want to defeat the doomsday. It's a very interesting idea. I hope we can meet again."
With that said, the lady turned and left.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and continued to listen to the discussion of the people in the church, feeling drowsy. It was not until it was too late and everyone was finished that he was invited out by the priest of the church. Jiang Cheng asked, "How is it? Is there anything gained?"
Gallagher smiled and said, "Not bad. Next time you can help me get a Bible to read."
After Jiang Cheng, Huang Biao and others came out to eat Nanjing's snack - duck blood vermicelli soup, Jiang Cheng and others returned to Yu Qiaqing's house. It was already evening.
Yu Qiaqing saw Jiang Cheng back and said happily, "Xiao Jiang, Chairman Jiang asked us to meet him tomorrow morning. Dress up and look smart. Chairman Jiang likes people to be clean, you know?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I know. Mr. Yu, have you found out anything? Is there anything interesting happening in Nanjing recently?"
Yu Qiaqing took a sip of tea and nodded and said, "It's true. Two days ago, Mr. Song published "On the Immortality of China", criticizing Chairman Chiang for violating Sun Yat-sen's legacy, which cost countless lives, material energy and money.
The civil war forgot to defend China under Japanese aggression." He also said that currently, "Although the civil war has stopped, no compromise with the Red Party has been heard at all."
This makes Chairman Chiang very angry. Doesn’t this mean that people from the Red Party come to Nanjing to negotiate? In order to stop Youyou’s mouth.”
Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "I wonder who the Red Party sent?"
Yu Qiaqing thought for a while and said, "It seems to be Zhou Guansheng who was also in Huangpu before."
"Premier Zhou???" Jiang Cheng stood up excitedly.
"Prime Minister? Did their red government call themselves Prime Minister? Humph. They really don't know what the so-called bunch of rogues are." Yu Qiaqing said disdainfully, "But I have met Zhou Guansheng, and he is indeed a humble gentleman."
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "Oh, no, I mean...I heard it wrong. I thought it was a friend of mine. His word was neutral. Haha, I heard it wrong. I heard it wrong."
Yu Qiaqing didn't ask any more questions. He just kept talking about the relationship between various forces in Nanjing and warned Jiang Cheng about what he should pay attention to when getting along with some people in Nanjing. Jiang Cheng kept thinking about Zhou Guansheng's name in his heart.
Is there any chance to meet this great man this time?
