Liang Yuandong took out a bottle of wine and wine utensils from the wine cabinet. While pouring the wine, he asked Zuo Zhong: "Secretary Shen, would you like a glass? Fine wine from France."
He had a smile on his face, and with Shen Dongxin's help, he could easily and completely master the two important strongholds of Renxin Hospital and East Asia Club.
Making money is one thing, but what he cares more about is a brand new intelligence agency that belongs entirely to him. This has been his long-cherished wish for many years.
Zuo Zhong was lying on the sofa with a pale face and weakly shook his hand: "Forget it, I still don't know what you are selling, I'm afraid you put medicine in the wine."
"Forehead."
Liang Yuandong paused his hand, then said with a smile: "Haha, Secretary Shen is really... quick to talk, so I won't advise you. In fact, that kind of medicine is not that terrible, but it is more addictive."
Now that his wealth and life are all in the hands of the other party, Liang Yuandong feels that he can reveal a little more. Moreover, future drug sales will also require Mr. Shen's strong support, so it would be better to make it clear in advance.
Zuo Zhong pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "You really think I'm a fool. That kid on the first floor of Renxin Hospital that day must have been addicted to drugs. His performance was not as simple as drug addiction.
If I hadn't run fast at that time, I might have been strangled to death by him. Cooperation must be sincere, so just tell me everything from beginning to end. I'll have an idea in my mind, so I can help you in the future. "
Liang Yuandong raised his glass, feeling a little hesitant. Medicine was an important plan of the empire. If Shen Dongxin knew about it, would he notify China's intelligence agencies? This was a bit risky.
But if he didn't say anything, with Shen Dongxin's bad temper, he might get slapped again. Plus what he said was right. With the other party's help, the drug business could be bigger.
Zuo Zhong didn't hide anything and looked straight at Liang Yuandong. Now they were discussing business. If he had questions and requests, he should boldly raise them. It was abnormal to be sneaky and probing.
Liang Yuandong noticed Zuo Zhong's actions, and after thinking about it, he slowly said: "Since Mr. Shen is interested, I will briefly talk about it, but please keep it confidential. This matter is related to the lives of many people."
Zuo Zhong slapped the sofa, feeling very unhappy: "I'm known for being tight-lipped. I still hope to make a fortune with your brother in the future. Is there any benefit to Mr. Shen if I tell you? Don't worry."
The words were straightforward and the tone was sincere. Liang Yuandong felt that he could believe it. Besides, he had no other way to go now. After killing Jin Jiang, he had no choice but to cooperate with the other party.
If the other party is angered, without Mr. Shen's financial support, how will the domestic bureaucrats be dispatched? By then his Dashi Organization will not be established, and the madman in Dafu will definitely take revenge.
He thought about it over and over, and finally made up his mind: "Master Shen, let me tell you the truth, Jin Jiang and I are both intelligence officers of the Qingmu Mansion in Tianjin, but he is a member of the Kwantung Army, and I am a professional agent.
The source of the drug is an analgesic drug improved by the Germans. Its analgesic effect is four to eight times higher than that of morphine. It is very effective in treating severe cough, wheezing and chest pain in tuberculosis patients. "
"Wait a minute, I'm not interested in curing diseases or saving lives. Just tell me how addictive this drug is, whether it will kill people, and how long it will take before they die." Zuo Zhong interrupted him unhappily.
Liang Yuandong listened to what he said with a smile on his face: "This drug is more water-soluble than morphine, absorbed faster, and more fat-soluble. More importantly, it is more addictive.
At the same time, it is very harmful to the human body, so it was quickly banned by various countries. However, we have further improved it and have achieved the most perfect balance between addiction and harm.
Now as long as we continue to take the medicine, the harm to the human body will be inconspicuous within three years, and there will be no fatal harm in five years. Mr. Shen does not have to worry about being discovered, as long as we can control the sales volume of the medicine. "
After hearing this, Zuo Zhong stood up and stared at Liang Yuandong with his hands on his hips until Liang Yuandong was frightened and he suddenly covered his stomach and laughed wildly.
"Okay! You Japanese people are very stupid, okay! I don't care whether people die, as long as the addictiveness is high, people will buy it if it is highly addictive. If you die, there will be no death in Jinling."
Zuo Zhong excitedly walked around the room: "Why do they say that our medicines killed people? Maybe they died from choking on rice or water. Am I right?"
Liang Yuandong didn't keep up with his rhythm and could only nod in confusion. Mr. Shen's thinking was a little strange, but he was right. The harm of drugs was very hidden and it was difficult to find out the cause of death.
Zuo Zhong walked up to him and patted his shoulder with one hand: "You are too timid. We can take a bigger step in the future. There is no point in making a small fuss, so we just open up and sell.
What is your annual output, five tons or ten tons? I've got it all covered. Don't worry, I won't compete with you for business. The Republic of China is a big country, so I can sell in other cities. What do you think? "
How about it? I don't think so. Liang Yuandong's face turned dark after hearing this. This Master Shen is really crazy. If he sells these things on a large scale, wouldn't the empire's plan be in vain?
He quickly stopped him: "Mr. Shen, the production of these medicines is very complicated. The Kwantung Army can produce up to seven to eight tons per year. Even if production equipment is added in the future, the output will be very limited.
Moreover, we need to rely on these drugs to control more important officials, and economic interests come second. Otherwise, the Kwantung Army will cut off our drug supply, and we will not make a penny by then. "
In desperation, Liang Yuandong did not care about keeping secrets. He revealed the Japanese plan in full, and also leaked the details of the production method and output. He did not think this was a big problem and would have to talk about it sooner or later.
Zuo Zhong's heart skipped a beat and he frowned on the surface. He was obviously not satisfied with Liang Yuandong's answer. He looked like he was angry because he didn't make any money. His chest was rising and falling, and he was very angry.
He let go of Liang Yuandong's hand on his shoulder and said in a cold tone: "Boss Liang, making money is my purpose. If this is the case, I will reconsider our cooperation. You are completely insincere."
"Eight..." Liang Yuandong almost cursed when he heard that Zuo Zhong was going to regret it at this time. Fortunately, the remaining pain on his face made him wake up and shut his mouth in time.
He tried to remain calm: "Master Shen, please stop joking. This matter is related to the plan of the Japanese Empire. It is not something you or I can destroy. There are other ways to make money, so don't be too anxious."
Zuo Zhong put his hands on his hips: "You put it lightly. I looked at your account books and found that the profit from alcohol is very small, and pharmaceutical sales are the bulk of the profit. You must give me an explanation today."
Liang Yuandong was very surprised. Mr. Shen, among other things, read the account books very quickly and saw the bulk of East Asia Club's profits. He also wanted to make money, but it was really not his decision.
Kanto is in charge of production, Aoki Mansion is in charge of sales, economic gains are divided up and down, and intelligence gains are shared. This is a rigid rule set from the beginning. He is just a small executor.
He smiled bitterly and said: "Young Master Shen is really making things difficult for me. If I can make the decision, of course I am willing to sell according to the method you said. Who would complain about the lack of money? There is really no other way."
Zuo Zhong looked thoughtful and suddenly asked: "Can you get the information about the Kwantung Army's drug production base and who has mastered the entire production process? This shouldn't be difficult for you."
Liang Yuandong was stunned. Hearing what Shen Dongxin meant, it seemed that he was planning to start manufacturing medicines himself, so that the Kwantung Army would not have to tear them alive. There were too many high-ranking officials taking money from here.
How can those guys with stars on their shoulders afford luxury houses in Tokyo, and how can their wives afford the latest cosmetics and coats from Europe and the United States with just military pay and plunder?
Dividends from occupying territories and invisible businesses in various parts of the Republic of China were their main source of income. If they tampered with drugs, they would tamper with the pocketbooks of dozens or hundreds of generals. This was courting death.
Liang Yuandong said very rudely: "Secretary Shen, there is no room for negotiation on this matter. I can tell you one thing. You and I are just small figures in this business. As a person, you need to know how to advance and retreat."
The unrealistic ideas of this second generation ancestor must be dispelled. He does not want to be executed together with the other party. As long as the number of guests in the club continues to increase, their income will not be too small, so why take risks.
Disdain showed on Zuo Zhong's face: "You are talking about the Kwantung Army. They are far away in the Northeast and you are in Jinling. It doesn't matter if they cause trouble for you. My people are enough to protect your safety.
As long as we control the manufacturing of drugs, we can completely get rid of their control. As for how to deal with the official situation, you don't need me to teach you. Are those officials in Tokyo vegetarian?
Seeing the military people eating huge chunks of meat, those people must have already had an idea. If we spend enough money to feed them, and let them come forward to deal with the Kwantung Army's pursuit, the problem will be solved. "

The following is to prevent (ah) theft, and the rest of the text is in (the author's words). The number of words is exactly the same, so it won't cost anyone more money.
My heart hurts so much that I asked for annual leave from the company. I need to go to bed early because I can’t stay up late anymore, so I can change to the main text during the day.

Zuo Zhong is about character, but Dai Chunfeng is about attitude. In the past, people's sincerity was probably based on their character. Honesty, sincerity, and sincerity are all virtues of a gentleman; dishonesty is a deceitful villain.
Character is half born and half nurtured; the expression of character comes from nature and is the whole person. To say that a person is an honest gentleman or a deceitful villain is to settle accounts based on his deeds.
A gentleman will probably always be a gentleman, and a villain will probably always be a villain. Although it is said that temperament can change and a person can only be judged after the coffin is closed, those are just special cases.
In the society, there are not many stereotyped gentlemen and villains. Most ordinary people float between these two realms.
The so-called ups and downs means that these people cannot control themselves, and they will inevitably be deceitful. This is also due to nature.
On another level, these people sometimes consciously increase or decrease their sincerity towards people and things to adapt to the situation. That's the attitude.
Attitude does not necessarily reflect character; an honest friend may lie or something when forced to do so.
Attitude out of necessity Dai Chunfeng
