Chapter 6 The Three Great White People in Shanghai
"What? Is this price too high? Mr. Jiang, do you mean equal weight of gold??" Yu Qiaqing asked in disbelief. Yu Yishan was also frightened by the price. What is huge profit?
This is huge profit!
"Yes, compared with life, what is a little money? I intend to let Mr. Yu be responsible for the sale of this medicine. I will give him 10% of the profit. I wonder if Mr. Yu is interested?" Jiang Cheng asked, "I don't know, little friend.
How many grams is a bottle of penicillin?" Yu Qiaqing asked without answering directly.
"0.5 grams, so the price for one bottle for Mr. Yu is 50 cents. A patient has to take four or five bottles, which means that a patient has to pay about 3 US dollars, which is 10 French currency.
, how about it, it’s not too expensive.” Jiang Cheng said with a smile, “This is still the domestic price, the price for those foreigners is more than this.”
Yu Qiaqing seemed to be very interested in making money from foreigners and asked with a smile, "How much are you going to offer?"
Jiang Cheng looked at the people gathered outside and said, "It is not easy to develop this medicine, and the cost is not low. For the price given to Europe and the United States, Mr. Yu, please quote one dollar a bottle. For Japan, just three dollars. Let those people
It would be nice to use the money to subsidize medical treatment for us Chinese people."
Yu Yishan came out of her excitement and just heard Jiang Cheng's words. She covered her mouth and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, you are treating me differently."
Jiang Cheng laughed loudly and then slapped the table and said, "The sign that Chinese people and dogs are not allowed has been hung at the entrance of the park for decades. Why haven't I seen them? I feel ashamed. There is a Chinese body under every sleeper on the American railways."
I didn’t even see the skeletons of them saying sorry, now I just want to make more money, or I don’t want to see too many poor people die of illness.”
"I wonder if Mr. Yu can eat it? I have a lot of goods." Jiang Cheng turned to Yu Qiaqing and asked.
Yu Qiaqing thought for a moment and shook his head, "I'm old. I'm afraid I can't do this business alone. I wonder how much penicillin Mr. Jiang can provide?"
"Stop calling me Mr. Jiang or whatever. Call me Xiao Jiang or Xiao Cheng." Jiang Cheng said to Yu Yishan again, "Just call me Brother Cheng. My friends all call me that."
Yu Yishan was a little embarrassed and blushed and said, "Hello, Brother Cheng."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Good girl, my brother will give you some gifts later. Mr. Yu, I brought 1,000 bottles of penicillin this time. Since it is a new product, I will give you a 50% discount. You can help me give it to major hospitals."
They tried it out, finally called reporters, did a good job of publicity, and then took me to visit the major terminals. We are not just doing this business. As for the goods, Mr. Yu, don’t worry, if you want more, 10,000 bottles a week
, one hundred thousand within one month, one million within two months, and then there is no upper limit. We will give you as much as you want, but I have special requirements."
Yu Qiaqing was furious. If this medicine was really that easy to use, there would be no worries about sales. Especially with the tragedy of the Spanish Flu still fresh in our minds, it would be normal to sell millions of bottles a year. This is what happened above.
A business worth tens of millions of dollars would be equivalent to one hundred thousand taels if converted into gold. If you take 10%, you would have millions of dollars. Even if the net profit is only 10%, that would still be one hundred thousand dollars.
Yu Qiaqing calmed down and said with a wry smile, "This business is too big. I only dare to take half of the profits. I advise you to give half of the profits to Boss Du, Boss Huang and Boss Zhang in Shanghai, and then give 10% of the profits to Jiang."
Chairman, I can give advice to these people. I believe that doing so can ensure that this business can be completed. Otherwise, this huge profit will not be delicious. I wonder how much this profit is?"
"Grandpa, these are the medicines organized by Brother Cheng, how come the profits are distributed everywhere?" Yu Yishan said dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Cheng shook his hand and sat on the chair, looking at the excited Brian and the patient's family members outside and said, "My cost per bottle is about 30 cents. So, if Mr. Yu and Chairman Jiang tell me, I am willing to pay for every three bottles of penicillin sold."
I gave a bottle to the Central Committee. My only hope is that this medicine will only be used on the anti-Japanese battlefield and not used to kill each other."
Yu Qiaqing thought for a while and nodded and said, "Okay, let's not delay. Today I will take you to pay homage to the three gentlemen in Shanghai. I will contact them and have dinner together in the evening."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Let's take care of Yishan's disease first. Since the medicine is fine, let Brian give it to Miss Yishan. This disease is cured early and cured early. Moreover, my business will not only be penicillin in the future."
, Mr. Yu will see the methods of our organization in the future."
Yu Qiaqing smiled and said, "I hope you will be as powerful as possible. As long as you fight the Japanese, I will welcome you with both hands."
After calling the excited Brian to give Yishan an injection, Jiang Cheng persuaded the injured Yu Zhimin to give an injection. After all, it was a stab wound and could easily become inflamed.
Jiang Cheng was very busy when he saw that Yu Qiaqing was constantly instructing his men to contact the three gangsters and wrote letters to several directors of major hospitals he knew. He shook his head and walked to the small garden hall to think about how to deal with these Republic of China people at night.
He was interacting with celebrities, and suddenly a pair of small hands covered Jiang Cheng's eyes. Jiang Cheng felt the softness of his hands and smiled and said, "Sister, you are too old-fashioned. It would be fun to use something as a gun to block your back."
"That's a good idea. I'll scare others next time." Yu Yishan jumped up and sat down in front of me and said, "Where's my promised gift?" Yu Yishan stretched out her hand.
Jiang Cheng took out a 150g pack of Dove chocolates that he had prepared. Of course, just in case, he had already removed the packaging and put it in the box he asked the maid for. "This is my chocolate over there. You can try it."
.”
Yu Yishan looked at the chocolate and tears were about to fall down. "It's because of this thing that my brother was injured. I don't want to eat this anymore." As she said this, Yu Yishan was about to cry.
Jiang Cheng said hurriedly, "This is your fault. Even if you don't want to eat, those Japanese will find an opportunity to attack your brother. It's not your fault. It's just you who ate the chocolate. Your brother's injuries are still there."
It’s worth it, after all, you’re letting such a cute girl taste her favorite thing, isn’t it?” Jiang Cheng said and pinched Yu Yishan’s little nose.
Yu Yishan shook her head and shook Jiang Cheng's hand away and said, "Brother Cheng, do you think we and the Japanese will really fight?"
Jiang Cheng stood up and looked at Dongfang and said, "Have we not started fighting yet?"
Yu Yishan said in a low mood, "Then - will we win? We are so weak. I heard that one Japanese soldier can beat ten of us."
Jiang Cheng clenched his fists and said, "We will win, we will definitely win. Even if we completely sacrifice a generation, we will win, because we can no longer afford to lose. This time, it is a national war, a never-ending national war!"
Yu Yishan shook her head and said, "I don't know the big reason. I just hope that my grandfather and brother can be well. Yesterday, my brother was covered in blood and I was so scared. I was so afraid of losing them."
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "Who likes war? It's just that others hit us, so we have to fight!"
Yu Yishan said excitedly, "Thank you for the chocolate. You will bring me other good things in the future. I heard that there are many things in the West that are not available in Shanghai. I really want to go to Europe."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Sooner or later we will have those things, and they will be better than theirs." Looking at the garden in the distance, Jiang Cheng thought of China in the 21st century, which has been called the world's factory. Sooner or later, we will be better than all others.
People do better!!
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Cheng packed his suitcase and got into Yu Qiaqing's car. On the way, Yu Qiaqing introduced a man in his 20s to Jiang Cheng. This man had sharp eyebrows and a high nose, but he had a good appearance. His name was
Xing Yonghao is Yu Qiaqing's personal bodyguard. The car slowly drove towards downtown Shanghai. I have to say that the cars during the Republic of China were really not that good. They were slow, had no air conditioning, and were extremely bumpy. But what was interesting was the side of the car.
There are two pedals on the top, and a few big men with guns at their waists are standing on it to protect the windows. It seems that in the era before bulletproof glass, they were bulletproof human shields.
After a while, we arrived in the urban area. Shikumen buildings from the Republic of China period can be seen everywhere. The night view of the city is exactly the opposite of that of the countryside. It is full of liveliness and joy. When we arrived in the urban area, it was getting dark, and the lights on the road were
Shining and colorful, the neon lights decorating the high-rise buildings illuminate the entire city as if it were daytime. Countless fashionable women accompany gentlemen in suits and leather shoes to enjoy the magic of this magical capital of the East. Vehicles on the road stop and move.
, the sound of trumpets continued, forming a pleasant symphony. The streets were crowded with people, and various shops opened their doors to welcome customers at any time. Cloth signboards with a very Republican flavor were floating everywhere, and Jiang Cheng could still see them from time to time in later generations.
Having seen signs such as Coca-Cola, I can only sigh that Shanghai is indeed one of the leading metropolises today. Unfortunately, this scene can only last half a year.
Soon we arrived in front of a very distinctive building, with a vertical facade and a very high middle, composed of a multi-story hexagonal cream-yellow spire supported by 12 columns. The main building is composed of three 4-story building groups connected by walls.
There are also two ancillary buildings. Just look at the three characters written in the middle - Big World.
Accompanying Yu Qiaqing and Xing Yonghao into the big world, they saw that there was something else going on inside. Yu Qiaqing introduced, "This big world was originally run by a man named Huang Chujiu. It is now managed by Huang Jinrong. This place is divided into four parts, called "Amusement Park"
The world's "Expo World", "Competition World" and "Gourmet World" have launched a total of eight series of entertainment projects. Especially in "Competition World", the "Big World Arena" and the Guinness Record Arena have attracted people from all over the world.
A master of stunts."
Jiang Cheng nodded to express his understanding. After a while, he came to a private room. Outside the private room, there were people standing like bodyguards in black. Each of them had bulging arms and seemed to be holding a penis. Yu Qiaqing opened the private room and saw no one.
People only heard a burst of laughter, including a woman's voice. When they entered, they saw three men and three women already sitting inside.
I saw a fat head with big ears, a face with a few spots scattered on it, gray hair, small eyes and a big mouth. He smiled and peeked at the woman next to him from time to time, but there was always fear in his eyes. Looking at this woman again, she was about 40 years old.
Yu Sui, with a cold face and no joy at all, looks very capable, with a strong yet fragile beauty in his bones. He seems to be invisible to Huang Jinrong's smile. Sitting on the left is a middle-aged man of medium build.
, with a thin face, it was Du Yuesheng. He looked at Huang Jinrong and the woman and shook his head helplessly. Sitting next to Du Yuesheng was a small woman with delicate features and extremely beautiful features, but she looked to be only in her twenties.
, and Du Yuesheng, who looks in her forties or fifties, looks more like a father and daughter.
"I just said to you, Boss Yu, why are you so late? You deserve to be punished!" The speaker was an old man with fierce eyes and white hair. He looked to be in his sixties, but sitting next to him was an old man who looked like he was
A promiscuous young woman.
"Haha, I'm late. I should be punished. Come on, let me introduce you to a rising star. This is Jiang Cheng who has returned from abroad." Yu Qiaqing said, pulling Jiang Cheng to his seat and saying, "These guys
They are all your uncles. That one is Huang Jinrong, and this one is Zhang Xiaolin. This one is the most powerful. It is Du Yuesheng and Boss Du. There is no business that cannot be done in Shanghai as long as the three of them nod.
Call her Aunt Lin, this one you call Sister Meng. This one, I mean Lao Zhang, where did you deceive the little girl from?" Yu Qiaqing laughed and scolded.
"You old red guy, why am I your aunt? Xiao Jiang, call me Sister Guisheng. Where is Xiao Jiang from?" said the woman with a strong look on her face. When Jiang Cheng heard this, he knew in his heart that this must be her.
Lin Guisheng, the famous female boss in Shanghai.
"I grew up in Jiangxi when I was a child. After I became a child, I went to Hubei for two years. When I was older, I went to many countries in Europe and the United States. If I really want to say it, I can only say that I am Chinese." Jiang Cheng took out a bag from later generations.
"Everyone, try my cigarette," said Zhonghua, and spread the cigarette for everyone.
"Zhonghua? What a good name." Du Yuesheng looked at the cigarette and took another puff and said, "The taste is really amazing! Is this the big business that Boss Yu said?"
"Of course -" Before Mr. Yu could say anything, Jiang Cheng said first, "That's it. You guys can see how it goes first."
Yu Qiaqing looked at Jiang Cheng with strange eyes, as if asking why Jiang Cheng didn't tell the truth.
Jiang Cheng didn't look at him and continued, "Not only this tobacco, I also have grain and cloth. I guarantee sufficient quantity and good price. Everyone will benefit."
Although Yu Qiaqing felt confused, he still cooperated and took the topic and started talking about tobacco and grain. Several gangsters also started talking about tobacco and grain. After tasting the Chinese cigarettes of later generations, they all said that this business was promising.
Zhang Xiaolin said, "I think the country is about to go to war. How about we control all the black and white things in the market together. When the war breaks out, our profits will not be a little bit bigger, hahahaha
.”
Jiang Cheng gave him a cold look and said, "But if there is a war and all our goods are robbed by soldiers, what will we do?"
Zhang Xiaolin clapped his hands and was about to say something. He rolled his eyes and said, "Of course I will have a solution when the time comes. Don't worry, everyone."
Jiang Cheng knew in his heart that his solution was to cooperate with the Japanese. It seemed that at this time he had already thought of surrendering to the enemy.
"I don't think it's appropriate. We are Shanghainese after all, and we live in the streets. This is too ugly and inappropriate." Huang Huangrong shook his head in disapproval.
Zhang Xiaolin couldn't help but feel bored when he saw that no one was interested.
After a while, Zhang Xiaolin asked with concern, "I heard that Zhimin from Yu's hometown was killed by the Red Party? Is it true?"
Yu Qiaqing pushed his chopsticks unhappily and said, "I know exactly who they are. Some people want me to do something that betrays my ancestors, and I won't let them do it."
Huang Jinrong said loudly and politely, "You're right. Although we are not good people, we still have to see our ancestors when we go down."
Du Yuesheng nodded in agreement, while Lin Guisheng gave Huang Jinrong a cold look and said nothing.
Zhang Xiaolin felt bored and didn't say anything.
In the end, the three gangsters said that no one would touch Jiang Cheng's tobacco and food when they arrived in Shanghai. Jiang Cheng also said that he would leave a share of tea money for several big bosses.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes of food. Seeing that everyone was almost chatting, Jiang Cheng suggested that everyone go out and dance. Everyone expressed their willingness, and Jiang Cheng deliberately pulled Yu Qiaqing to the back and said softly, "Mr. Yu, wait a moment and take Huang Jinrong to the table."
In the bathroom, I'll go to Du Yuesheng."
Although Yu Qiaqing didn't quite understand, he still expressed his understanding.
In the ballroom, he only saw a bunch of long legs dancing on the stage. Accompanied by the singing of "Night Shanghai, Night Shanghai", Jiang Cheng saw Zhang Xiaolin holding the little girl and starting to dance, and saw Huang Huangrong already dancing with him.
Yu Qiaqing started chatting, and soon they got up and walked out together. Jiang Cheng immediately sneaked closer to Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng was talking and laughing with Meng Xiaodong. Jiang Cheng pushed away the bodyguard and walked forward and said softly, "Mr. Du, we drank a lot of wine together.
How about going to the bathroom?"
Du Yuesheng and Meng Xiaodong beside him were puzzled by Jiang Cheng's suggestion. Du Yuesheng rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I just have a feeling."
To be honest, Jiang Cheng didn't know the road at all, but Du Yuesheng took him to the bathroom while laughing and shaking his head.
When Jiang Cheng and the others arrived, Huang Huangrong had already been pulled into the bathroom by Yu Qiaqing. Jiang Cheng asked Yu Qiaqing to guard outside, and said quickly, "I have received reliable information. Zhang Xiaolin wants to defect to the Japanese. My real business must be real."
Only patriots can participate. I know how patriotic you two are, but I wonder if you are willing to take on such a huge responsibility for the 400 million Chinese people."
Huang Jinrong was the first to express disbelief and said, "I have been with Lao Zhang for decades, and I don't believe that Lao Zhang would do such a stupid thing."
Du Yuesheng disagreed, saying, "Everyone knows that Zhang Xiaolin debuted earlier than me and is one generation higher than me. He has always been dissatisfied with me treating him as the boss. If the Japanese can really be used to dominate Shanghai, I believe it."
He can do such a thing."
Jiang Cheng also nodded and said, "I would like to have a private talk with you two, is it okay?"
Huang Huangrong thought for a while and said, "If you can hold your sister Guisheng's hand, I will come."
In later generations, Jiang Cheng also knew that Huang Huangrong had already divorced Lin Guisheng because of Lu Lanchun, but he finally divorced Lu Lanchun. This incident had actually happened more than ten years ago.
