Arriving at the ballroom again, Jiang Cheng saw Lin Guisheng sitting alone and drinking, and walked forward.
"Sister Guisheng, why are you drinking alone? How about I have a drink with you?" Jiang Cheng said with a smile. Lin Guisheng glanced at Jiang Cheng and said, "If you are here to be a lobbyist for that old immortal, then you can leave.
I will never forgive him." After saying that, he put down the wine glass and stopped looking at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I can't say anything about your family affairs. I'm here for official business. I wonder if my sister is willing to do something for the country and make a lot of money at the same time?" Jiang Cheng said, pretending to be mysterious.
He said softly, "This is a business to steal money from foreigners. There is a risk of losing your head."
Lin Guisheng laughed loudly and said, "What kind of scene have I never seen before? You are a little too young if you want to scare me? Tell me, why do you need to be dragged into such a big country? Sister, my neck is thin, I'm afraid it will be twisted."
"
Jiang Cheng turned around and left after telling him about tonight's secret meeting. He walked down to the ballroom and began to enjoy the nightlife of the Republic of China. Although there were not as many cocktails as in later generations, Jiang Cheng was still very interested in the nightclub with the style of the Republic of China. Soon,
Late at night, Zhang Xiaolin was the first to leave with the young woman in his arms. Jiang Cheng looked at his back coldly, then turned and walked towards the box upstairs.
"Don't be so playful with me, I'm not here to see you." Before entering the box, I heard Lin Guisheng's scolding.
It has to be said that one thing is better than another, and the brine is the tofu. Huang Jinrong, who has been rampant in Shanghai for decades, has no tricks in front of Lin Guisheng. He can only look at Du Yuesheng pitifully. Du Yuesheng said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't look at the monk's face."
Are you looking at the Buddha's face? It's been so many years and my eldest brother has planted osmanthus trees in the yard to express his longing for you. Isn't that sincerity?"
"Let me tell you, Yuesheng, I will never forgive this person. I came here this time to see that little brother save his face. You two should say nothing more." Lin Guisheng said forcefully. Du Yuesheng shook his head helplessly and raised his head.
At the beginning, he happened to see Jiang Cheng, stood up and said with a smile, "Today our protagonist is here, brother Jiang, please sit down."
Jiang Cheng took his backpack and sat at the last seat. There was a round table with Lin Guisheng on the left and Du Yuesheng on the right. Huang Jinrong was separated by Yu Qiaqing next to Lin Guisheng.
"It's so late, I won't waste everyone's time. My main business this time is this." Jiang Cheng said as he took out a box of penicillin and distributed it to everyone present.
Except for Yu Qiaqing who already knew this thing very well and didn't look at it much, the other three big guys were looking at it carefully.
"I said, little brother, you are not that Hai Luoying, are you? This one overlaps with Boss Du's business. No wonder you came to see Boss Du," Huang Jinrong said jokingly.
"Haha, I'm not a dirty person. This is the newest drug in the world, penicillin." I looked at the puzzled expressions of the three of them and continued. "To put it simply, the only one who has this drug in this world for the time being is me.
Here, this medicine is very miraculous. It can treat basically all inflammations. At the same time, it is also miraculous for knife wounds such as tetanus. The most wonderful thing is that it is not only non-addictive, but also has basically no side effects. It can be said that it is very effective for patients.
It’s a life-saving medicine.”
Du Yuesheng was worthy of being the last and most friendly man in Shanghai. After hearing this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Jiang said basically all inflammations? What about pneumonia, meningitis and the like?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and smiled in approval and said, "It can be cured, and the effect is very good, much better than sulfa."
Huang Huangrong probably knew the name of sulfonamide. He laughed loudly and said, "Dear mother, my name is Huang Huangrong. You are the gold. I heard that sulfonamide is more expensive than gold. What's your price?"
Yu Qiaqing said, "The cost of Xiaojiang's medicine is not low, and the money earned is of great use, so brothers, please don't be too shady."
"My little brother just told my sister that this business is beneficial to the country and the people. I wonder what's going on? Also, you said that you are the only one who has this medicine in the world. Could it be that you invented it?" Lin Guisheng said doubtfully.
"Exactly, this medicine was researched by my little brother's organization. Please rest assured that we have nothing to do with any political parties. One bottle of my medicine is 0.5 grams, and the price for one bottle is 50 cents for Chinese people, and one bottle for Europeans and Americans.
US dollars, Japanese people don’t bargain at three US dollars. My cost per bottle is 35 cents. I will give 20% of the money I earn to everyone here. In addition, for every three bottles shipped, I will keep one bottle as future savings.
Preparatory medicine for the war against Japan." Jiang Cheng explained.
"Wait, wait, wait, I just did the math according to what you said. Aren't you basically unable to make any money? The bottle alone cost you more than 46 cents. You basically can't make any money."
"What's the point of doing this?" Huang Huangrong shouted.
"You can't make money at 50 cents. Therefore, our business is basically doing good things in China. The most important profit point comes from abroad. I will not participate in management. I am only responsible for delivering goods to you. But I
I hope that everyone can cooperate well and make money from foreigners together. At the same time, I can tell you that these are just a test of the water for our organization. You will know in the future that our business is more than this. Of course, I know that this price list
Foreign forces will definitely put pressure on us, which requires a few big bosses to handle it." Jiang Cheng smiled and looked at the big bosses who looked embarrassed.
"Brother Jiang, have you never done business?" Du Yuesheng took a pear and started peeling it.
"It's true that I haven't done it before. What's wrong?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"The price you prescribed is too low. You have no idea how much your medicine is worth. Mr. Yu, if it saves your granddaughter's life, is it worth $100?" Du Yuesheng asked with a smile.
"Of course it's worth it. Is the price still high?" Yu Qiaqing asked curiously.
"We can't let Brother Jiang lose money. Let's do this. Domestic sales are 5 US dollars, and overseas sales are 10 US dollars. For Japan, it's 30 US dollars. Do you want it? The development of this drug should be very difficult." Du Yuesheng held up the pear.
He handed it to Lin Guisheng, "Sister-in-law, try it." Lin Guisheng smiled and nodded and took it. Du Yuesheng took another pear and started peeling it.
Du Yuesheng still did not expect the power of penicillin and the greed of businessmen. In history, in 1943, Pfizer began mass production of penicillin. 100,000 units of penicillin cost 20 US dollars in 1943. The nickname of soft gold is no joke.
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "It took our organization two years and millions of dollars to develop this. The cost is not low."
Du Yuesheng laughed when he heard this and said, "Then have I set the price too low? Should I stop raising it?"
"Let's not talk about prices and external pressures. How can we prevent the goods we sell domestically from being exported abroad? Otherwise, wouldn't we be making wedding dresses for others?" Huang Huangrong asked.
"This is easy to handle. We are linked to the hospital. The use of each bottle of medicine must have a Chinese certificate, a description of the situation, and the signature of the director. At the same time, the medicine does not leave the hospital and must be used in front of three people. I believe that most of our hospitals
It won't be that dark, and the bosses are outside. As soon as they hear the news, they will stop taking the medicine immediately. If the investigation is true, not only will the supply be stopped forever, but criticism will also be circulated." Jiang Cheng said the method he had thought of long ago.
Said it out.
"Well, this method is good. I think there shouldn't be any big mistakes. Let's try it out like this first." Yu Qiaqing agreed.
Du Yuesheng also nodded in agreement, handed the pear to Huang Jinrong again, and continued to peel it.
"Those foreign devils are so scared. We can sell our own goods as much as we want. It's none of their business. I think this business can be done, and it's a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Boss Guang Jiang
To prepare medicines for the future anti-Japanese war, I think what if we take some risks?" Huang Huangrong said carelessly. After speaking, he looked at Lin Guisheng and said, "Guisheng, you think so."
Lin Guisheng refused to pay attention to him and said to Jiang Cheng, "You just said that you developed this drug? What is your organization? Are you Chinese? I don't want to spend a long time as a shield for the foreign devils."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "My organization is very mysterious. I can't tell you now, but you can rest assured that my organization is all Chinese, and they are all patriotic Chinese. We have only one goal, which is to rejuvenate China.
We have only one dream - the dream of a great nation."
"The dream of a great country? What a dream of a great power. Our current country is devastated, empty and weak, and can no longer speak out internationally. China has become like this. How can we still have the atmosphere of the Han and Tang Dynasties? Okay,
Just because of your dream of a great country, I, Mr. Du, have started this business. Tell me, what do you need us to do?" Du Yuesheng put down his knife, stood up and said sternly, "But let me make it clear to you in advance. If I find out the money you make,
It’s not for the dream of a great country you talk about, your medicine is not really that good, and I, Mr. Du’s knife, will not let you go."
Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "What a Chun Shen sect with 3000 guests. The sky is five feet south of Xiaodu City. Jiang said something here. If I say anything false, let everyone here take my head."
how?"
"Okay. We will help you with this business. Tell us, what should we do?" Huang Huangrong said with a laugh.
"By the way, I have a special request." Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "I asked several bosses to help me exchange all the money into gold bars."
"Gold bars? Why do you need this? Isn't it convenient to use U.S. dollars?" Lin Guisheng asked curiously.
"You don't need to know this. Anyway, please help me. If gold bars are not convenient, diamonds, gems, and jade of the same value will all work." Jiang Cheng smiled bitterly, Du Yuesheng and the others shook their heads and finally said it was okay, so they started talking.
Details of the specific cooperation.
We talked secretly all night and discussed many details. It was almost four o'clock and everyone was tired, so they dispersed to rest.
After waking up, Jiang Cheng and the other four people went directly back to Yu Qiaqing's foreign residence. Jiang Cheng distributed all the penicillin to the four people and gave it to them at half the experimental price. The four people said that since it was their first time to cooperate, they needed to
The real trust may be due to Yu Qiaqing’s fame, but also because Brian kept talking to us about how miraculous penicillin is. There is no authenticity of the experimental drug. The four of them were given a total of 10 small yellow croakers.
Jiang Cheng asked afterward. One small yellow croaker weighed about 31 grams. It was the first time he saw so much gold, and he was really excited.
Jiang Cheng counted the days and had already left the real world for two nights, which meant that Jiang Cheng would have to go to work again tomorrow. Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said to Yu Qiaqing, "Mr. Yu, I need a big warehouse. I don't know, Mr. Yu.
Can you help me find one, preferably somewhere out of the way in the suburbs?"
Yu Qiaqing thought for a while and said, "I'm the only one who lives in Chuansha, Jiangsu. Because it's across the Huangpu River, there aren't many people there, and it's very quiet."
Jiangsu???How far is it? Jiang Cheng said awkwardly, "Isn't that inconvenient?"
Yu Qiaqing laughed and said, "An Xin, this warehouse is right on the Huangpu River, which is very convenient."
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and agreed, "Then take me to see it."
When he arrived at the place, he found that it was near the World Expo Park of later generations. Jiang Cheng looked at the size and saw that there were four large warehouses. They were all empty. They were all three-story reinforced concrete structures, more than ten meters high, covering an area of
10,000 square meters. It is indeed a good place.
Jiang Cheng said happily, "I wonder if Mr. Yu can borrow some brothers from Boss Du and the others. First, he must have a clean family background, second, he must be smart and dare to fight, third, he must be loyal and not swayed by money, and most importantly, he must be able to defend himself."
Secret man."
Yu Qiaqing smiled bitterly and said, "This is not a low request. Well, I will try my best to help my brother find it. Mr. Jiang had better bring a counting house next time to facilitate our transactions."
It was inconvenient to tell where Jiang Cheng could find a counting house, so he had to express his agreement vaguely. Then he made an excuse to look around and left a mark of time and space in a nearby grove.
At night, Jiang Cheng took the small yellow croakers and left the remaining snacks to Yu Yishan as snacks, then said goodbye to Mr. Yu and prepared to return to modern times.
Declining Yu Qiaqing's offer to send him a car. Jiang Cheng put on his backpack and took his suitcase, and came to a deserted ridge to see if there was no one around. Jiang Cheng secretly gave an order to the space-time ball. A white light flashed, and then Jiang Cheng
It felt like it was going to be extremely hot.
"Why are you missing? You were still here just now?" Where Jiang Cheng left, a short man stood out from the grass not far from Jiang Cheng, looked at the deserted wilderness, and expressed his incomparable expression.
I was confused and had no choice but to go back and report.
"Baga, what do you do? You can follow anyone, are you as stupid as a pig like the Chinese people?" In the Japanese Embassy, Kazuki Ito kicked the man.
"Ito-san, I really followed closely. He disappeared all of a sudden. I don't know what happened. Also, I am a glorious Yamato nation, please don't call me a Chinese," the man argued forcefully.
"You still say!! You are so incompetent and you still want to quibble. If it weren't for the fact that you have made great contributions to the empire in the past, I would have killed you." Ito sat down on his seat and took a few deep breaths and said, "Forget it, I don't think it's anything.
Big shot, Toushan Geming, your father entrusted you to me, I hope you can practice your abilities well and not make such low-level mistakes again, do you understand?"
"Hey, I understand that I will definitely live up to my husband's teachings and my father's expectations." Toushan Geming said loudly.
Itoga said, "That's it, keep an eye on those big gangsters. I feel like their party this time is not that simple." Then he looked at the night view of Shanghai outside and said, "Look how beautiful this city is.
Ah, the stupid Chinese people are not qualified to own such a city. Only our great Yamato nation can make this city more prosperous and powerful. Toushanjun, we have to work hard, the Chinese people have already started to take action. Our
Don’t let your preparations slack off.”
Two flowers bloomed, one on each branch. When I returned to modern times, I felt the heat of summer. I took off the cotton-padded clothes I brought from the Republic of China as quickly as possible. I said, "Gallagher, look at how I performed this time."
?”
"It's not that good. I just met a few gangsters. I said you got so much gold after running like this? If you want gold, just tell me. I will give you a technique and you can make a fortune quickly by selling it."
La." Gallagher said, "But you have to call me teacher first. How about it, do you want to learn or not? Let me tell you, on my planet, there are Zihe people who want to be my students.
It’s 1.8 million.”
"Forget it, I don't think I'm a great scientist. I understand very well. Knowing the principles and making them are not the same thing as large-scale industrial production. If I could study so well, I wouldn't have failed the college entrance examination.
That's it." Jiang Cheng said disdainfully, "And what do you know, those big gangsters could be said to dominate the sky in Shanghai at that time. No matter who wants to do business well in Shanghai, they must follow the path of the Qinggang.
It's not like modern times, just do good business. I really don't understand why so many people still miss the Shanghai of that era. Do you like the feeling of being hacked or bombed every few years when you go out?
?”
"Haha, it's very difficult to have a correct outlook on life. Otherwise, why would I give you political classes? Have you ever seen anyone teach people to breathe?" Gallagher said rustlingly.
"Oh, that's good. How come you have become a political fool when it comes to your own fault?" Jiang Cheng joked.
"Humph, you just want to poke my scars and don't want to talk anymore." Gallagher said unhappily.
Jiang Cheng shook his head, poured out the small yellow croaker and looked at it again and again. Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't been back for several days and didn't know if anyone was looking for him. He picked up the phone and saw that his mother had made several calls. Yu Na was still the same. As long as Jiang Cheng
If he doesn't find her, she will definitely not come to Jiang Cheng.
I called my mother and said that my phone was on mute but I didn’t see it. My mother kept telling me to take good care of myself and not to be too tired. Jiang Cheng quickly said that civil servants are very relaxed and finally stabilized his mother’s decision to come to Shanghai to take care of Jiang Cheng.
My heart finally fell asleep from exhaustion.
The next day, Jiang Cheng tried his best to get up. He first put all the gold bars in his bag and took them with him. When he squeezed onto the bus, he couldn't help but think about whether to resign. Mainly because he was afraid that there would be too much opposition from his family. One day
The class was also lackluster. Director Li in the hall saw that Jiang Cheng had no energy, and kept asking Jiang Cheng if he was sick. Looking at the leaders who cared about him, and thinking about how they had taken care of him over the past year, Jiang Cheng felt very
I was a little reluctant to give up, but thinking about what happened in the Republic of China, I made up my mind to confess to Director Li, "Teacher Li, I want to resign."
"What's the matter with Xiao Jiang? Is there any problem at work? Tell Teacher Li?" Director Li asked with concern.
"I have a friend who opened an international trading company and offered me an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. I really can't stand the temptation anymore." Jiang Cheng said sheepishly.
"Ah, Xiao Jiang can do it, 300,000, don't be too rich." Teacher Yang next to him came over and said, "It's me, I won't work anymore, but is your friend's company reliable? How about working in industry and commerce first?"
Let’s check the tax aspect so that you don’t regret it later if something goes wrong.”
"That's right, let me tell you, why don't you take a long vacation first? If your friend has a problem, you can find a way out." Teacher Li said with concern.
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "It's true. He has already given me a salary of 100,000 yuan. I am really ready to resign."
Teacher Li sighed. "You young people are all adventurous, unlike us who are old and can only guard this iron rice bowl and beg for food. Come, join me and talk to Wu Shuo." After that, he took me to the director.
