The whole day, Wang Yan was busy with instant noodles and soda. Entertain guests as well as those newspaper reporters, and keep an eye on free promotions and sales progress. Of course, the result is good. After all, they are all gangsters who are out to promote things. Once Mr. Wang’s brand shines, it works better than any other words.
As evening approaches, basically the public concessions and French Concessions have almost been promoted. The goods will definitely not be available, but the money will be collected. It is indeed a bit bullying, but there is nothing I can do about it. If a gangster does something, how can he really negotiate and discuss the promotion. It is necessary to spread the goods all over the Shanghai beach as soon as possible. Master Wang instant noodles and Shanghai brand soda are everywhere.
Not only that, he also contacted the Public Directors Bureau of the French Concession, the Ministry of Industry Bureau of the Public Concession, and even the Japanese and Puppet Government, spending money to buy billboards, hanging them in various prosperous places, looking for celebrities at this time to take photos, and promoting them overwhelmingly. .
As the largest city in the Far East, his products are popular in Shanghai, and it is almost the same in the whole of China. After all, it is something from a big city, and there is a bonus. At the same time, there are so many foreign devils in Shanghai, and he is already preparing to sell goods overseas.
After all, instant noodles do not have such high technical barriers. Research and research will reveal that within two years, many brands will appear around the world. Therefore, it is necessary to seize market opportunities. After all, people always miss the original taste, and foreign devils are no less sentimental. Even if the goods cannot be shipped smoothly due to the war in the future, when the war is over and sold again, the sales volume will still be good. This is the most important thing.
After a busy day, Wang Yan took Yu Manli, who had come over, to have an extravagant dinner and then took the car back to the prince's mansion. Not long after they returned, the men standing guard at the door called to inform them that the eldest lady of the Ming family next door came to visit with her younger brother.
Yu Manli sat on the sofa and drank water: "Should I avoid it?"
"It's not in the way. You're just asking me to do something. There's nothing to avoid."
After a while, his subordinates led Ming Jing and Mingtai in, introduced Yu Manli and the others to each other, and after being polite, they sat down.
At this time, Yu Manli and Mingtai didn't know each other. Yu Manli was not interested in Mingtai, so she just glanced at him and sat down to drink water silently. Mingtai didn't dare to go too far. She was the woman of Wang Yan, a gangster leader, and he didn't have the courage to look further.
In fact, Mingtai is also a son-in-law who has the habit of discharging electricity everywhere. And he lacks nothing, and the kind of casualness he has cultivated is quite attractive to women.
It is impossible to say that he had no feelings for Manli in the original play. But then I learned about Yu Manli's tragic past, and the love between men and women immediately died down. Later, when he met Cheng Jinyun from the Red Party, he changed his target again. At this point, Mingtai is terrible.
Of course, it is true that the situation is different. He is from the Kuomintang. Even though those high-ranking officials have concubines with several houses or have children, they are also disciplined and can only find one wife. People at the top don't have to abide by it, but people at the bottom try to cross the line.
For someone like Wang Yan, the person who set it up at the beginning had set it up well, otherwise the organization would not have allowed him to mess around like this. That would be called unorganized and undisciplined, and violated the Party Constitution and Party disciplines.
But it’s meaningless to talk about that now. After all, Yu Manli has been sent here by Wang Tianfeng, so it is destined that there will be no story between Yu Manli and Mingtai...
Ming Jing was not very good at polite words. Wang Yan waved his hand and stopped chatting awkwardly with her. He said, "In the morning, you said you asked me for help with something. Let's not be polite. If you have anything to say, just say it. I will do it. If you can’t do it, don’t blame me.”
"Okay, if you are so happy, I will say whatever you want."
Ming Jing nodded, pondered for a moment, and composed his words: "The Wang family and my Ming family are family friends, but when my father was alive, because the Wang family was greedy, they tried to swallow up the Ming family's property by relying on their friendship with the Japanese. So this is a feud. I think you should know something about Wang Manchun and my brother. That is what my father meant. When he died, he left a family motto that the third generation of my Ming family will not form alliances with the Wang family to make friends or neighbors. . But the Wang family didn’t give up, and now they are using the influence of the Japanese to ask my Ming family to cooperate with them.
The people sent by the Wang family have been turned away by me every time, but now Wang Furui has used her power to detain a batch of medicines from my Ming family and prevent them from leaving the Shanghai Bund boundary. There is a war going on on the front lines now, and I know that the Japanese will not allow them to join the enemy. But there are also patients in other places, and they do not have to be given to the Kuomintang or Red Party troops. My Ming family also runs a pharmacy, and these medicines are normal business transactions. He, Wang Furui, is just the president or deputy of a chamber of commerce. He uses chicken feathers as arrows. What qualifications does he have to deduct the goods from my Ming family?
I know that you have always neither relied on the Japanese nor offended the Japanese, and have maintained a certain cooperative relationship. I have also inquired that your Yonghua Industrial is involved in the sale of pharmaceuticals. You also know that the value of medicines at this time is not small. I finally got a batch of them outside and spent a lot of money on them, which had a great impact on us. And we have no connections with the Japanese or the puppet government. Can you help us find a solution for this matter? Don't worry, as long as I can release this batch of goods, I will give you 20% of the tea fee for the goods. "
Glancing at Mingtai who was sitting and drinking water, Wang Yan thought for a moment. Maybe this was the reason why Mingtai wanted to kill Wang Furui. He was a big traitor and wanted to annex the Ming family's industry, but Didn't he just take the opportunity to kill him? Mingtai probably didn't know that Wang Furui was the culprit who killed his own mother. Because Wang Fuxi wanted to annex the Ming family's property, as long as he killed Ming Jing and Ming Lou, the Ming family's main house, the remaining branches would naturally fall apart.
Mingjing and Minglou will not tell Mingtai about this kind of thing. Children should not worry about it so much because it is not conducive to their growth. If Mingtai hadn't already remembered the incident at that time, Mingjing and Minglou would not have even explained that Tai was not their biological child.
As for this batch of medicines from Der Spiegel, it goes without saying that they were sent to the guerrillas. According to the story in the play, Ming Jing is also a serious literary youth. If it weren't for the Ming family's family fortune, he would have joined the revolution and fought for the doctrine.
The purpose of sending the guerrillas is not difficult to guess, because although the Ming family is already a very big businessman in this era, and their business is bigger than Wang Yan's, when it comes to transportation capabilities, it is really far behind. It's just ordinary things, but scarce supplies like medicines must not be sent far away. It is safest only to send them to the guerrillas operating in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
The living room of the Prince's Mansion became quiet. Wang Yan sat on the sofa with his legs crossed. He put one hand on his leg and beat the rhythm with the other on the armrest of the sofa, pretending to be thinking. After a while, Then he asked: "How much does your batch of medicine cost?"
"Fifty thousand US dollars, this is not a small amount of money. You have an industry as big as Yonghua Industrial, and you know best that you have to make the money in your account flow and keep making progress in order to develop and grow. If this money If we keep suppressing it, there will be a deficit, and any deficit will have to be made up from other places. This will mess up the plan and have a great impact on our business."
Of course Ming Jing is telling the truth. The Ming family is engaged in serious business. In these days, although it is said that business can make money, there are also advantages and disadvantages. Not everyone is like Wang Yan, who is engaged in large-scale trade of in-demand materials. This fifty thousand US dollars will definitely not be enough to hurt the Ming family, but it will certainly have an impact.
These medicines will definitely not all be given to the guerrillas, as the Ming family cannot afford them. More often than not, half of it is sent to the guerrillas, and the other half is sold at double the price, earning less to recoup the capital. Basically, it is the same thing as Wang Yan delivering supplies to the Soviet area in large quantities.
Wang Yan nodded, expressed his understanding, and said: "Because we are neighbors, I have made a promise to you before, otherwise I really don't want to take care of it. You also know that now we only have to deal with Japan for everything." When people get involved, there will be endless trouble. Okay, no more talk, leave this matter to me, you don't have to be too anxious, there will be news in the next two days. "
After the matter was settled, Ming Jing said a few more polite words, stood up and said, "I'm so grateful to you, Mr. Wang. Then we, my brother and sister, will not disturb you. We will go back and wait for your news."
Mingtai on the side also stood up: "Thank you for your help, Mr. Wang."
"You don't need to be so polite. You have to accept money to do things, and that's what you should do. You two, please go away slowly, I won't give it away."
Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile, stood up and signaled to them, and the Ming family siblings walked out under the leadership of Qi Si.
Seeing them leaving, Yu Manli said: "Wang Manchun is not easy to get along with. She doesn't like this mirror. Can she agree?"
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Okay, you know a lot."
"Of course. I was sent to you. The most dangerous person is Wang Manchun. How could she not be clear about her affairs?" Yu Manli rolled her eyes, feeling that the military commander was being underestimated.
"There's no point in embarrassing the Ming family on this kind of thing. It's just fifty thousand dollars. Can Wang Manchun still give me face? Or not through her. Wang Furui is doing business with me now, and his goods go through my channels. I opened my mouth to enter the Kuomintang-controlled area and the Soviet area, will he refuse to do this?"
The cooperation with Wang Furui happened after the last reception at the consulate. It is difficult to sell the traitor's goods in the Japanese-occupied areas. After all, there are many Japanese businessmen, and there is still competition. How can they be the opponents of Japanese businessmen? Many of them are relatives and friends of Japanese officials. Let alone in the Kuomintang-controlled area. It’s not that it can’t be sold, but it’s a question of how much it can be sold for.
Using Wang Yan's channel can save you a lot of trouble, save a lot of tolls, and sell more goods. Of course, Wang Yan's shave was just as harsh, but it was just a comparison.
"That's right. Isn't it easy to do such a small thing like blowing the pillow?" Yu Manli straightened her legs, spread her arms back, arched her body to relax her muscles, and sighed: "It's so easy to make money. , the upper lip touches the lower lip, and you get ten thousand dollars, it’s so good..."
"Isn't it easy for you to make money? Why, do you think I gave you less?"
Yu Manli didn't say anything. She stood up, hooked her fingers at Wang Yan, and walked back upstairs. Wang Yan seemed to be fascinated. After drinking all the tea in the cup, he followed Yu Manli upstairs...
When Wang Yan told the story about Ming Jing the next day, Wang Manchun snorted and said, "I knew this old woman had to come to you."
Wang Yan held the big baby in his hands: "Did you do this?"
"It was my uncle. He told me later. I thought at that time that she would have to beg you in the end. Tell me, how much did she give you?"
"Ten thousand US dollars, I can give you half of it. After all, it's Mingjing's money."
Wang Manchun shook his head: "I don't have anything to spend money on. Besides, I don't need the money. You can keep it for yourself."
"Then this is settled like this? I promised them. If I can't do it, it won't be a shame." Wang Yan said with a smile.
"You have already spoken, what can I say? Are you still asked to find Ichiro Muramoto? Or Mr. Iwai?" Wang Manchun shook his head: "My aunt is happy today, so she will let that old woman go. I will go tomorrow Tell my uncle, let's forget it."
Wang Yan nodded, and the matter was over. He turned to follow the words and asked, "I just noticed that your sex drive is very high today, and you are more active than usual. What's the matter?"
"Of course. This morning, through the lure of traitors, we secretly arrested a senior member of the Shanghai underground party of the Red Party in the public concession. He is..."
"Okay, don't talk anymore." Wang Yan used some strength in his hands and interrupted her: "It's better not to tell me such a crucial matter. You said you were arrested secretly, now the Red Party should I don’t know yet, but I don’t know when I will. If something unexpected happens to you, it will be blamed on me, and I won’t be able to explain it.”
"You, you only have so much courage. Don't worry, they say they are arresting in secret, but the Red Party members are all ruthless characters. Once they are in a desperate situation, they will fight to the death. How can there be no movement at all? The Red Party has suffered He is injured and cannot be punished, so he is recuperating in the hospital. This person is a high-level member of the Red Party and knows a lot of key information. If he opens his mouth, the Red Party lurking in Shanghai will suffer heavy losses even if they cannot catch them all. "
This is a normal thing, because this kind of underground organization is full of links. As long as the arrested person names a few accurate names and digs deeper, it will cause exponential damage. Even if someone has received the news in advance to evacuate, but has already exposed his flaws once, if he still works in Shanghai in the future, it will be particularly dangerous, and it will also greatly reduce the difficulty of Rite's work.
This bitch didn't sleep in vain, the news is coming, isn't it?
According to Wang Manchun, at this time, the Shanghai underground party organization must not have received news that any comrades were arrested, or that important comrades were arrested. After all, the secret front is fighting all the time. There may be several arrests, and it is not impossible for some to be unable to identify themselves.
At this time, the sooner you know the news, the better. You can quickly self-examine and identify the arrested comrades. Launch an investigation and arrange a rescue operation. After all, if a person is injured and recuperating in the hospital, the injury must be serious. It is not certain when he will recover. What if he recovers quickly and is sentenced to death? So the sooner you act, the better.
Wang Yan asked with a smile: "I still don't understand. You work for the Japanese, but you are not so enthusiastic about being an official. Otherwise, you would have been working in the puppet government, so why would you follow Yoko Minami? But you are not interested in money. Then why are you so determined to work for the Japanese?"
"A sense of accomplishment. I just like to see how they resisted at first, but then opened their mouths under various punishments and temptations. Of course, who doesn't want to have greater power? But I know clearly that now I'm not qualified yet, I still need to gain experience. I'm not in a hurry, there will be a day. As for why I am so determined to work for the Japanese..."
Wang Manchun suddenly giggled: "Of course it's because I think the Japanese can win. This is a sure-win gamble. The sooner you place your bet, the higher the odds and the more benefits you will get. Even if I Don’t think about yourself, but also think about the future of the Wang family, right? Did you see the newspaper a while ago?
Wang Zhaoming, vice president of the Kuomintang, said when meeting reporters that the door to an armistice has not been closed. What does this mean? This shows that the top leaders of the Kuomintang have no confidence that they can defeat the Japanese. Now they are resisting because they are not fighting on the front lines, and they are not the ones dying. They are fighting for future power for themselves, and the longer they fight, the more benefits they get. It's just you, an ambitious but courageous man, but you're not as decisive as a woman like me, it's really useless. "
"Don't be too happy too soon. I heard recently that the Youth Gang who had defected to the Japanese were helping the Japanese sell opium and seemed to be raising military expenses for the Kwantung Army. They occupied the Northeast in 1931. It has been six years now. In these six years, they have seized the resources of the Northeast, and they have a lot of experience. But now it has only been a year since the full-scale war started, and the Kwantung Army has been reduced to relying on gangsters from the Qing Gang to sell opium to raise military expenses. What does this mean? ? It means that the Japanese have no money and their economic situation is very bad. You still have to be careful."
