In the office of the North Station warehouse, Wang Yan opened the sealed envelope, took out several pieces of letter paper inside, and read through them one by one.
After a while, he laughed for no reason.
Shi Changxing and Gu Yongcheng, who were sitting on the sofa, looked at each other and said wisely: "Brother Yan, what did the Red Party say to make you happy like this?"
Wang Yan shook the letter paper in his hand and said with a smile: "We are going to be in trouble, but we are also going to make a fortune. Take a look at it, too. You have to make money through science and technology..."
Shi Changxing and Gu Yongcheng read the letter head-to-head. Gu Yongcheng asked, "Brother Yan, is this accurate? Is it really that powerful?"
"You have had a lot of contact with the Red Party. You still don't know what they are like? They never say anything about something they are not sure about. Now they are thinking of the good foundation of cooperation between us and them for so many years and hand over this kind of treasure. If they are resold to us, then it must be true. Now that the stuff has arrived at ours, I think it will be time for them to issue a statement in a few days. After researching such a good thing, they must make a name for themselves and let the world know about it. , they have better anti-inflammatory drugs in their hands, let those foreign devils rush to them to buy them, and send them money and supplies."
While talking, Wang Yan opened a large suitcase on the table and took out the stuffed straw rags. There were more than 600 tablets in small glass bottles stacked in front of him.
There is a label on the bottle. The calligraphy written on it is strong and powerful, with dragons and phoenixes dancing. The three big characters written on it are, penicillin.
After more than half a year, based on detailed information, experts and scholars in Yan'an finally went through R&D and experiments and achieved mass production. Although the output is small compared to the huge demand, he finally has a weapon in his hands that can treat the wounded and make a fortune.
In fact, Wang Yan had known this news for a long time, and of course it was the handsome man who conveyed it to him. With penicillin, he would no longer be unilaterally smuggling supplies to the Soviet area in the future, but would be able to go back and forth on a larger scale and be safer at the same time. Because there are too many goods and the number of transactions is large, it becomes difficult to settle accounts. Moreover, as mentioned in this letter, money is secondary. They need large quantities of food, steel, cloth and other materials, and they can use his line to do more things.
Of course, he 'knows' nothing. The only people he knows are the handsome man and other high-level members of the Red Party. If I must say, there is also the telecommunications staff accompanying the handsome man. He has the code book and knows all the incoming and outgoing information. But for those who can work next to handsome men, under normal circumstances, there is no chance of rebellion. If they happen together, it will be a catastrophe that will overthrow the Red Party.
The Red Party is not the Kuomintang. In the later wars, it can reach the point where the Red Party formulates a battle plan, implements the plan, and fights on the front line... Therefore, the bald man lamented, "There is no one in the world who does not share the common ground." That is like a sieve inside. , he had no choice but to do it.
"Brother Yan, can't this be sold cheaper than sulfa?" Shi Changxing picked up a bottle of medicine and swung it to his ear, listening to the clatter of pills.
Seeing Wang Yan looking at him, Gu Yongcheng also picked up a bottle and played with it. He said, "I think it can be sold at the same price as sulfonamides. After all, sulfonamides come from outside, but this penicillin comes from Yan'an, which saves a lot of trouble." , and the supply is fast. If the price is too high, the sulfonamides will be sold better, and penicillin will be lost, which is not good."
Shi Changxing didn't understand very well, so he asked straightforwardly: "Didn't you say that penicillin is more effective than sulfonamide? Isn't it natural that it is more expensive?"
"Silly boy, why haven't you made any progress in all these years?" Wang Yan slapped him on the back of the head and pointed at Qi Si, who was lying on the sofa smoking a cigarette: "Ah Si, tell me."
Qi Si rolled his eyes, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Whether the effect is good or the effect is bad, it is difficult to use the big soldiers fighting on the front line."
"Hey..." Wang Yan nodded happily: "I asked you to read more and think more, but you just don't listen. Look, you are not as good as Ah Si's brain."
"Okay, boy, you have made progress after being with Brother Yan for so long." Shi Changxing ran over and slapped Qi Si on the back of the head. When he saw Qi Si turning over and wanted to practice with him, he calmly hugged him He raised his eyebrows and said, "Think about it, whether you can beat me or not, don't blame me for not taking you out to be cool."
Qi Si's doggy face instantly changed to a flattering smile: "Look at what you said, Brother Shi, how can I fight with you? Come on, sit down quickly, I will squeeze your shoulders. Brother Yan said that my skills are good. He also said that I can make money by opening a store.”
Wang Yan ignored Shi Changxing's play with that silly boy. He said to Gu Yongcheng: "Although the letter is very long, it doesn't have many important points. Please contact Yan'an in the next two days and discuss with them what can be done in detail." How much profit should we keep? We should also determine the supplies they need and draw up a list so that we can discuss them in a targeted manner. In addition, you can contact the British, Americans, and Soviets, and one party will send them two Ping, I'm going to find the French and the Japanese. One is my job, the other is my life, but I have to take good care of him..."
Gu Yongcheng nodded: "Okay, I'll do it soon."
Wang Yan picked up the phone on the table and called Iwai Mansion directly. Iwai Eiichi was usually there. He had to talk to Iwai Eiichi about this kind of thing. Minami Yoko was not qualified.
The phone was connected, and after a few brief exchanges, he said he had something important to discuss, and made an appointment with Eiichi Iwai for lunch.
After contacting Eiichi Iwai, Wang Yan took a few bottles of penicillin, called Qi Si, who worked hard to show hospitality to Shi Changxing, and went out and took a car back to the prison. He called Egger to find Judith, gave them two bottles of penicillin, and asked them to test the efficacy and then sell them back to Europe.
At this time, although there was no war in Europe, penicillin was not exclusively used to treat wounded soldiers. It is an antibiotic and can be used for other diseases. It has good curative effect, which cannot be compared with sulfonamide. When I got it to Europe, it was still a big hit.
After fooling the two foreigners, it was almost noon. Wang Yan took Qi Si to Hongkou, which was a Japanese food shop. Eiji Iwai treated him like an animal. He always ate Japanese food with him and never went to the concession. He was also very afraid of death.
Everyone is afraid of death, but he, Wang, is famous in Shanghai for being greedy for life and afraid of death. This is a common disease of human beings. The same goes for Eiichi Iwai, the deputy consul general of the Japanese consulate. After all, this little devil only relies on threatening Wang Yan's life to make money and engage in various treasured antiques.
After being led in, Iwai Eiichi was still the same. He had already been sitting there kneeling in a kimono, drinking tea. Wang Yan took off his big leather shoes, walked over and sat down cross-legged: "Sorry, Mr. Iwai, I came a little late and kept you waiting."
Iwai Eiichi smiled and poured tea for Wang Yan: "Wang Sang, there is no need for this to happen between you and me. You are a friend of the Empire of Japan and my personal friend, so there is no need to be so outspoken. Otherwise, I will think that you don't want to be with me." Let’s be friends.”
Wang Yan nodded in agreement: "You are right, then I will not be polite in the future."
"I just want you to be rude, hahaha..." Iwai Eiichi gave a uniquely Japanese ugly smile and asked instead: "You said you have something important to do with me, is there any action from the French?"
"no."
Under the puzzled eyes of the short and sturdy little devil, Wang Yan took out two bottles of penicillin from his pocket and placed them on the table, extending his hand to signal to him.
Eiichi Iwai looked at Wang Yan incomprehensively, then picked up a bottle of medicine and turned around to read it. Although there were no sound standards at this time, indications and precautions were written on the paper attached to the bottle.
Eiichi Iwai has been in China for more than 20 years, so of course he knows Chinese characters. He frowned and looked at it again, then opened the lid and took out the pills inside, holding them on his fingertips and examining them.
He asked: "It says Yan'an Pharmaceutical Factory. Was it developed by the Red Party?"
"Yes, Mr. Iwai. The thing is, because of business dealings, our Yonghua Industrial has an office in Yan'an. I want to admit this to you, the office in Yan'an has employees with Red Party status. There are also employees who are not members of the Red Party. Now, I don’t know whether those employees who are not members of the Red Party are Red Party members. Moreover, the Qinglian Bank that I control has also opened a branch there, and its employees except for some Shanghai Those who were sent there, the rest are the Red Party members from Yan'an. They..."
"I know all these situations. It's business needs. It doesn't matter. Let's get down to business."
Eiichi Iwai waved his hand, very unconcerned. Wang Yan is a person who has no secrets. They have a very clear grasp of Wang Yan's situation. Of course they know this kind of thing clearly, and there are even some of their people. Wang Yan's only secret is that they don't know how much money he has, but they believe this very much, and Wang Yan himself doesn't know either...
Wang Yan nodded and took out the morning letter from his pocket: "They asked my men to bring it back to me from Yan'an. It just arrived this morning. This is the letter. You can take a look. It contains a detailed introduction. This penicillin then expressed that they are willing to let me do business with all forces and individuals except the Kuomintang. On this point, I still appreciate the Red Party. They care about old friendships. I have sold them a lot of supplies over the years, and they He reciprocated the favor and gave me such a huge source of wealth. To be honest, Mr. Iwai, I am flattered."
Eiichi Iwai looked at the contents of the letter with a smile, and was extremely satisfied with Wang Yan's attitude. He is not very powerful, so he has not received the news yet, but he will definitely know it in less than two days. Now Wang Yan came over consciously and even showed him the letter from the Red Party. Wang Sang was a great friend.
He read the letter carefully from beginning to end, then looked up at Wang Yan, who was sipping tea and rolling around across from him: "How reliable do you think this medicine is?"
"Ten percent. The Red Party is rigorous in doing things and always does what they say. If it is inaccurate, they will not give it to me, especially to me. After all, I have dealt with them for so many years and are the main supplier of materials in the Soviet area. They There’s no way you can trick me.”
"So how do you want to sell it? To whom?"
"This is why I came to you. The initial price is the same as the sulfonamides on the market now. For details, I have to contact the Red Party and listen to their opinions. As for who to sell to, of course it is up to whoever buys it. Who to sell? You also know that this was researched by the Red Party, and the continued restriction of the sale of drugs to them has lost its most important meaning. So who cannot be sold?
Before coming here, I had already met with my boss, Director von Judith, and asked my manager to make appointments with the British, Americans, Soviets, and other people from other countries to try to sell the penicillin. to the whole world. Mr. Iwai, you know that monopoly is the most profitable. Now only the Red Party can produce it, but after a while, if it is researched by other countries, the money earned will be much less. Of course, the bulk of it belongs to the Red Party, and I will earn some hard-earned money along with it. I don’t know about the Empire of Japan. Do you have any ideas? "
"Wang Sang, don't you know the army generals stationed in Shanghai? You should go to them directly instead of coming to see me."
"Mr. Iwai, how could I do such a thing? You just said that we are friends, so since we are friends, of course I have to consider you. Besides, it was you who brought me to know the generals of the army and navy. Without you, how could Wang be where he is today? Don’t forget the well digger, it’s better for you to promote this kind of thing.”
Eiichi Iwai laughed happily. He liked Wang Yan more and more. He was sensible, well-spoken, willing to use money, and could see the situation clearly.
Because if he promotes the purchase of penicillin, he will have merit, which is not small. Even if this is to send supplies to the Red Party and create difficulties for the imperial warriors on the front line, the world is like this and they can't use it. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with fighting at the front and doing business with each other at the rear. After all, it has been done before, but this time it may be on a larger scale. The people in the military would only thank him but not blame him. Because they are also in urgent need of anti-inflammatory drugs, and some well-known people have been injured in the war, and sulfonamides are often not effective. If new drugs are used, it may not be impossible to get better, so they have established connections with the backstage of these people.
In short, after going around in a circle, it's still good for you and me, and everyone is good. Only the little Japs on the front line died miserably.
"Then what price do you want to sell our Empire of Japan?"
"You know, this is a unique medicine. Although I said it would be sold at the same price as sulfa, the final price will definitely be much higher. But because we are friends and because we have to transport it through the Japanese-occupied areas, So I think the same price as sulfonamide is the best, what do you think?”
"The road is in our hands!" Iwai Eiichi said very definitely and domineeringly: "So of course the price is determined by us, otherwise no matter how much you sell, if the materials cannot be transported to the Soviet area, it will be in vain. Money is the most useless thing. So I think the price can be lowered further."
"Then it's not up to me to make the decision. I need to go back and contact the people from the Red Party to discuss the matter again. Mr. Iwai, I hope you can understand."
"Of course, I have always been aware of your difficulties. Okay, let's wait until two days to talk about these things and eat."
Eiichi Iwai clapped his hands, and the door slid open to both sides. Japanese ladies in kimonos filed in carrying dishes and then left.
After drinking with Wang Yan, Iwai Eiichi asked: "How was the drink I gave you to the 14th generation before?"
"It's very good. I'd like to trouble Mr. Iwai and ask someone to bring over some good Japanese wine. Of course it's a double portion. I'll treat you to the good wine from my hometown."
"As long as you like it, why don't you treat me? I'll give it to you. Next month, I'll ask my friends in China to bring a batch of all the famous wines in Japan."
"Thank you very much. I'll look for some more antiques and have them delivered to you in two days." The blood started to appear again. Wang Yan turned to ask, "When I came here just now, I saw that you were very worried. What happened?" What happened?"
"You discovered it." Eiichi Iwai shook his head and smiled: "Of course it's still Wang Zhaoming's business."
"Didn't he stay well in Hanoi? What happened?"
"Just yesterday, he suffered an assassination. However, because the person who carried out the operation recognized the wrong person and killed the person next to him, Wang escaped. However, Wang was also frightened, and he had a hard time these two days. The person who did it was The man from the military command is called Chen Gongshu. This person must be familiar to you, right? Although he is not as famous as Pei Min from the Red Party, he is still very famous. Others gave him the nickname "The Dangerous Scholar". He is a subordinate of Dai Yunong. A capable general. In addition to him, there are also the Eighteen Arhats from the military command, all of whom are ace killers. They are still looking for opportunities in Hanoi."
"Wang Zhaoming's fate was so great that so many people didn't kill him."
In response to Wang Yan's lively words, Iwai Eiichi gave him a serious look and continued: "Of course the Japanese Empire will not see its friends in danger. Colonel Kage Sasaki has already led people to Hanoi to rescue Wang. Very soon There will be news soon. But this time, Hanoi cannot stay any longer, and he may have to come to Shanghai first..."
Wang Yan didn't say anything, but took the initiative to change the conversation. If he said too much, it would be like he was deliberately inquiring. He has no interest in Wang Zhaoming, after all, he can't kill him...
