The Nan family owns a private hospital, and Nan Bohong, a cheap man, "opens the back door", so the problem of purchasing medicinal materials is naturally no obstacle to Ling Yao.
As for the experimenter, although it is fast and convenient to find someone directly through the black market, it can also ensure that the secret of the experiment will not be leaked. However, the experimental results produced by this method will definitely not be officially recognized. For Ling Yao, this was a waste of effort.
However, as long as Yu Huisheng is willing to let go, by virtue of his status as a student at the National Medical University, he can apply for a medical trial open to the public through the college, issue subsidies, and recruit regular volunteers.
As for how these "volunteers" came from, there is a lot of room for manipulation.
"...Don't you have a bad relationship with Lin Tianyu? Why are you looking for me instead of Boss Zhang?"
"So I'm looking for you to do business, not Lin Tianyu. Isn't there no way you can do anything without Lin Tianyu?"
The voice on the other end of the phone was leisurely and homely, and seemed to take what he was doing as a matter of course.
"It's not appropriate to approach Zhang Zhibo for this matter. He has too many small thoughts and can't find the person I want who is strict enough with his mouth."
Li Haibo touched the information book in his hand and turned another page, speaking in a stiff and indifferent tone.
"I can also sell your information to Lin Tianyu. With his prepared character, he will definitely thwart your plan and cut off your access. And this does not cost me anything."
He thought that the interaction between them should be limited to the last accident-Nan Botu gave him a way out and gave him a "bait" to lure Lin Tianyu to target the Li family; he also released smoke bombs for Nan Botu, Cover up Namboto's presence in the entire incident in front of everyone to prevent him from confronting Lin Tianyu.
Although this is Li Haibo's huge profit, the conditions were all proposed by Nan Botu himself. He has completed his duties, and now everyone can be considered even. He didn't expect that Nan Botu, who was obviously trying his best to stay away from Lin Tianyu, would be so bold as to come back to find him again.
"When doing business, if you don't get any benefits, you lose money. Don't you understand this?"
There was a vague chuckle coming from the other end of the phone.
"You can choose to refuse, or you can choose to backhand me and sell me to Lin Tianyu... Of course you won't lose money, but you won't make any profit either. He won't trust you more because of it, and he won't give you greater benefits because of it. But on the contrary Come here...you don’t need me to elaborate, you understand how much benefit you can get.”
Of course Li Haibo knew. It doesn't take much effort to just find a few guys who are short of money but not afraid of death, who know how to be grateful, and who are tight-lipped.
He himself was such a person in the beginning, so he naturally knew how to find such a person.
In return, he can receive a large intermediary fee and the most sincere and heartfelt gratitude from these desperate people.
This is the most gentle and stable way to expand power in the black market - it does not require much true feelings, only money, a way to survive, and the ability to live like a human being instead of like a dog. People like him will be willing to do it without hesitation. Follow the other person's lead.
Lin Tianyu used this method to recruit Li Haibo under his command, and used this method to break into the black market and gain a firm foothold.
It's not that he has never thought of recruiting people in this way, he even already has a list and candidates in mind. People who have struggled with the same dark difficulties, and even people who have helped each other, know each other's character and abilities well.
But he was powerless. He selfishly wanted to preserve and stabilize his position first. He could only occasionally help these people, but he did not dare to use more resources from Lin Tianyu to help them turn around.
Of course, he believed that if he handed this list to Lin Tianyu, Lin Tianyu would not only not object to his funding these people, but would also select capable people to focus on training and become his own help.
But it was a favor with a purpose, an "investment" in which all the benefits fell into Lin Tianyu's pocket in the end; or maybe it was just a moment of pity or a whim, and there would be no tomorrow if there was one today; to be more pessimistic, Lin Tianyu would pat him on the shoulder. He said, forget it this time and mind your own business from now on.
He wasn't sure what he wanted, and he wasn't sure what he was afraid of. But at least in comparison, if he really wanted to help these people and get "reward", he felt that a pure transaction would make him more at ease and comfortable than asking Lin Tianyu for charity.
But he also has concerns: Is Nambotu really so kind? Do you really trust yourself to take it? Could it be that some hole was dug in the middle?
Even though he still has some doubts and defenses about Lin Tianyu, and will think about how to use the other party to achieve his goals while the other party uses himself, but fundamentally, he will stand on Lin Tianyu's side and safeguard Lin Tianyu's interests. .
People who oppose Lin Tianyu may not be his enemies. But the possibility of being an enemy is always much greater than that of being a friend.
"Gender, occupation, height and weight, status, background, interpersonal relationships, it doesn't matter. To be honest, I don't expect these people to keep my confidentiality completely, so I didn't plan to tell them everything during the experiment. As long as they, well , as long as you remember it yourself, don't talk about it everywhere. Of course, if you really get on my 'thief ship', in order not to be offended by Lin Tianyu, you will naturally keep it secret for me. "
Li Haibo's silence did not make the other party want to give up. On the contrary, he seemed to be sure that Li Haibo would agree to him. His words were full of comfort: "Don't worry, the task is easy."
"My only requirement is that they do it voluntarily. This is what worries me the most about Zhang Zhibo - that guy will probably do whatever it takes to recruit people for me for agency fees. My project is risky after all. For my sake With a 'tiny' conscience, I hope each of them can get benefits from this deal that are worth the risks."
"I'm not richer than Boss Zhang."
Li Haibo's rambling sentence actually hinted that even Zhang Zhibo would covet the agency fees. He, a small person, may not be as noble as the other party imagined.
"So, this is the disadvantage of not having connections in the black market. You have to choose one of the two. One is not good and the other is not sure. So I have to choose you. If the bet is wrong, it doesn't matter. Bye bye, I will also take one. I am wise and will not pursue the idea of black market in the future."
In fact, by now Nan Botu has almost made it clear that he does not intend to use any power of the Nan family to do this. If Li Haibo cooperates with him to a limited extent, mutual benefit and win-win results will be achieved, and everyone will be happy; if the cooperation breaks down, Nanbotu's losses will be within his acceptable range, but accordingly, Li Haibo will permanently lose a promising trading channel.
In fact, both of them knew very well that with such a spread of chips, even if they knew that Nan Botu was actually bribed to please themselves in disguise, Li Haibo had only one choice.
"Okay. I'll ask."
Although Li Haibo did not agree to anything in the end, he was obviously relieved. The person opposite was not surprised and continued:
"The agreement has been sent to your email. If you have anything to change, tell me. We can still discuss it before signing it officially. Hey, I can't help but emphasize, don't get involved with Lin Tianyu. That kid is really annoying. If not Conditions don't allow it. In order not to see him again, I can just carry the train station and leave the city. I'll hang up now. If you have anything to do, call this number. Bye."
Toot toot—
Li Haibo, who was shocked by the call and hung up on, curled his lips and put down the phone.
The information on the table is Nan Bo Tu's identity background and the investigated life story. The booklet turns to Nan Bo Tu's performance at the Zhou family's birthday banquet.
A very clean person. Whether it is money transactions or relationship history, it can be said that among the children of Fengcheng's aristocratic families, you will never find such a person with no black or even gray history. Oh, this guy is even an activist, but he hasn’t had time to write a thought report this quarter.
And the conflict between Lin Tianyu and him... To be honest, Li Haibo thought it was quite outrageous after reading it.
Lin Tianyu's miraculous medical skills indeed gave him the capital to ignore some industry rules, but this does not mean that everyone can understand and accept it, nor does it mean that this kind of rampant behavior will not harm the legitimate interests of some people. In this situation, it is inevitable that Lin Tianyu will make countless enemies.
Of course, Lin Tianyu is not afraid of these "enemies". He may even feel that this kind of development trend that first suppresses and then increases is one of the joys of life. It has a heroic spirit of not fearing the powerful, pursuing justice, and daring to fight. But in the final analysis, this kind of trouble is purely caused by himself, and he really can't blame others.
To be honest, every time Nan Botu confronts Lin Tianyu, the reason is for others: being able to choke Lin Tianyu to the point of holding a grudge shows that he is justified and unable to refute - this is after he knows that Lin Tianyu has a trump card Under the circumstances... maybe this is called the fearless spirit of selfless dedication.
If I had to give an analogy for Li Haibo’s feelings, it would be understandable and enjoyable to watch Sun Wukong causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace; but watching the Monkey King fight Li Shimin would be very confusing...
Li Haibo was like Monk Sha. Looking at this scene, what he was thinking about was not how to help his senior brother after the fight started, but - how on earth did you two get into a fight? ? .jpg
But having said that, it was really hard for him to imagine that such a person could deal with people in the black market so skillfully. Whether it's the seductive words and the appetizing rhythm, or the beautiful chips on the surface and the benefits of exchange in hints, it's hard to hold back your heart and quietly let down your guard.
This is really not something that a young man with a clean background, good roots, and all his experiences in an ivory tower can accomplish. Instead, it seems like something that can be accomplished by a veteran who has accumulated countless experiences in the vanity fair, or a A negotiator who has a lot of practical experience and is familiar with human nature.
For example, what made Li Haibo finally make up his mind was that it was Nan Botu who seemed to be using him to establish relationships and expand his contacts in the black market, but in fact he was leaving the entire process under his control, allowing him to relax and trust and Nanbotu's limited cooperation will not undermine its position, and these people will never harm Lin Tianyu's interests.
This is a hidden sincerity of Nan Botu - if you want to find volunteers on the black market, you will definitely not escape his eyes. At the critical moment, you will still have to find a way to persuade him not to block your plan. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to come to the door, offer benefits and negotiate cooperation, and everyone will be happy.
There is another reason why Li Haibo dared to take risks: Lin Tianyu never took the initiative to explain to him the conflict between himself and Nan Botu, and he never asked Li Haibo to take any hostile measures against this person.
Boom, boom, boom.
If one day his cooperation with Nambotu is really discovered...
Squeak——
He can also play dumb.
"Why are you here today? Do you have a new job?"
Li Haibo looked at the middle-aged man who pushed the door open, his bony torso and sallow sunken cheeks. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then nodded slowly:
"Yes. Big order."
Liu Guangyue's cloudy eyes flashed with light. He opened the crumbling wooden door wider, stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, and asked:
"Are you trying to track down someone from the Li family, or do you have a new target? Master Alchemy is really active these days..."
But Li Haibo had no intention of entering.
Liu Guangyue finally noticed this strangeness, his voice gradually weakened, and he looked at him suspiciously and warily.
"Not an alchemist."
Li Haibo said.
It's not a problem that they are not alchemists. They would have received all kinds of orders from various forces.
As long as it doesn't conflict with the alchemist's interests.
"who is it?"
Liu Guangyue frowned and blocked the way into the house with his body.
"You know the bottom line for my cooperation with you, right? It doesn't matter what happens to me. Even the Huo family's drug testing work, I took it. But I can't let my family be implicated!"
Li Haibo seemed to have finally made up his mind at this time. He pushed Liu Guangyue's shoulder away with his hand and took the initiative to walk in:
"So, I just bring you a message. How you choose and how far you go is up to you."
Liu Guangyue did not stop him, but continued to ask:
"The Li family is impossible. Zhou family? Chen family? Could it be... Nan family?"
Li Haibo naturally sat down at the only table in the room and threw the agreement in his hand on the table:
"It's Namboto."
Liu Guangyue breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became nervous again:
"But isn't he also..."
"What? Do you know who the alchemist is? Even if you knew, how could we investigate his private affairs outside without permission?"
Li Haibo quickly interrupted the other party,
"Since we don't know the grudges involved, why shouldn't we, as unknown persons, cooperate with a young master from a wealthy family?"
Liu Guangyue was silent for a moment, then picked up the agreement on the table:
"How did you get your current identity and status? You know better than me. I want to see what kind of business is worth taking such a risk?"
However, he looked at it for a long time, and a look of disbelief quickly appeared on his face:
"Are you sure this isn't some young master playing tricks on you? It doesn't look like..."
"It doesn't look like a black market transaction at all, but like charity."
Li Haibo directly accepted Liu Guangyue's words, causing the other party to choke immediately.
"But even if 90% of him is playing tricks on us, the remaining 10% is enough for us to take a risk. I need connections, and you need...money."
Liu Guangyue gritted his teeth and paced in circles:
"But this, this is true. This is already twice as much as the Huo family's! More importantly, it is legal! Even the side effects are controlled by a percentage. The Huo family's drug is an illegal drug, a poison...! A lot of people have already died there. If it weren’t for the new doctor they tricked, I’m afraid several more people would have died today!”
"So the first thing I thought of was you. You are so short of money now that you even dare to go to the Huo family. Why don't you take a gamble on this?"
Liu Guangyue finally calmed down, pulled out his chair and sat down, tapping his knuckles on the table unconsciously, as if he was thinking about something.
"I can only choose one company for drug testing. And now...the more formal the project, the less room it has for people like me. In fact, people who are short of money in the black market are either drug addicts or gamblers, like you used to do There are only a few people who only do some petty theft. Are you sure he can accept it?"
"He said that he didn't need too many people. The reason why he asked me to do it was to screen out these few for him. But your words... Logically he wouldn't mind, but will the experiment itself be affected? , I have to ask him again. What about the others? Is there anything else that I'm not sure about?"
Liu Guangyue shook his head and turned the booklet in his hand to the last page - that was the list Li Haibo had made in advance:
"If we can be sure that this is true, none of the people above will refuse to agree to this condition. Even if I can go, there can be a lot of people from the Huo family. No wonder you... But for you , is it really worth it? Back then...if you really want to say it, we didn't help you with anything..."
The corners of Li Haibo's mouth trembled, and finally he turned his head away and picked up the phone:
"I'll ask him now."
Just like back then, the greatest kindness of these people was just to give him a bowl of food when he was beaten and hungry. It was superficial and did not help. Now, he put an opportunity in front of them by offering flowers to the Buddha. For those who are down and out, or struggling on the verge of life and death, what kind of help can it be?
The phone rang for a long time, leaving nothing but beeps in the room.
"Hello -? Who is this? There is no note on this phone?"
There was a lot of noise in the background—chaotic footsteps, boiling cries, and breathless orders.
Li Haibo didn't recognize who was on the other end of the phone, but it was definitely not Nan Botu.
"I'm Li Hei, I'm looking for Dr. Nan. Please ask him to answer the phone."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to hesitate for a moment and hesitated:
"Uh...he is on duty in the emergency department today, so he may not be able to free his hands now. Let me ask for you. Senior Brother Nan——! Someone named Li Hei is looking for you! Can you answer the phone?"
"Who is in charge over there, where are the people?! It's shameless to leave the work to an intern! Let me do the work of three people by myself, but you can give me a salary as a full-time employee! What? Li Hei? Who is that? Please tell me your phone number!"
"...It sounds pretty lively."
Liu Guangyue wiped his sweat with embarrassment. Apparently he didn't expect such a situation on the other side.
"But the voice of answering the phone... I always feel that it sounds a bit familiar?"
"Today is the weekend, and there are many emergency rooms."
Li Haibo's eyelids twitched, feeling that Nan Botu was too casual. Shouldn’t you be careful when contacting people on the black market? The other party didn't seem to take the matter to heart at all.
What makes him feel even more weird is that he is still calmly explaining the reason to Liu Guangyue? A big departure...
There was a continuous noise of electricity from the phone, and you could only vaguely hear the voice of the person who answered the phone talking to Nan Botu, and then it was quiet for a moment.
"Hello? Li Hei, right?"
It was Namboto's voice.
Before Li Haibo could say anything, he heard the crackling words from the other side and rushed towards him:
"You're fucking sick! Even if I'm not on duty today, I'm not on holiday, okay? Isn't it just a matter of asking for trouble when you call me at work? Let me tell you, if you don't have anything urgent to do, next time When you meet me, I’ll shoot your head directly. Huh? Wait, wait! Something’s up! I’ll be there in a moment! Let Xiao Zhao take the lead first! You won’t die if you miss me for three minutes! No, don’t shout over there at the bottle Let me go! I’m not a nurse on duty. How do I know what kind of medicine that patient’s next bottle is? If you can’t find anyone, go to the front desk and look at the records!!”
Li Haibo was speechless for a moment, and then he felt complicated:
"I... didn't expect you to be so busy? The person I found has some questions for you."
Who would have thought that the fourth young master of the Nan family would have to stay in the hospital as an intern on weekends and do the work of three people by himself? Ordinary people don't bother themselves like this.
"Ah, ah, I didn't make it clear. Although it's a good thing that you are very proactive, there is really no rush. I am very busy recently. If you come to me for the specifics of the agreement in the future, please send an email to make an appointment in advance."
Nan Botu seemed to scratch his head, with a hint of irritation and annoyance in his tone.
"I've been beaten. To make a long story short, what's going on?"
Li Haibo pursed his lips:
"First of all, they all have their own jobs. It's not impossible to put them down and come to work with you, but they need a clearer guarantee about the authenticity of the project.
"Secondly, some of them have been exposed to...banned drugs on the black market. I need to know if there are any restrictions on your experiments."
"Now that I have just applied for the project, I still have to convince my teacher that there is nothing for you to use as a guarantee. And you don't want to make verbal promises or black and white letters that have no legal effect. You can just wait until the approval comes out. What should I do? I know you guys move so fast, I can take a breather and check my voice, but I have already finished searching for you..."
"You also underestimate their desire for money."
Li Haibo replied calmly.
"Okay. Okay. After all, I definitely don't know them as well as you do. As for the other question, from the perspective of the experiment itself, I don't mind if one or two people have the situation you mentioned, as long as they are strictly prohibited from taking the drug during the trial. That's fine. Read the terms carefully. All drugs taken by volunteers during the trial period must be approved by us. This guarantee is enough. However, you also know that in the formal process, volunteers have to undergo a physical examination, right? If you are not afraid I have no problem with someone being arrested directly after the drug test results come out.”
"...If that's all, you don't need to worry."
"If you want to fake it, do it yourself. If it's true, I have to back it up! I have to judge the efficacy of the medicine based on my health condition! Okay, is there anything else? You'll die without me. Uncle, it's true next time Tell me in advance, otherwise I feel like I’m really going to die!!”
"……good"
The phone was hung up.
Liu Guangyue and Li Haibo looked at each other in silence.
"It seems that we have nothing to worry about..."
Liu Guangyue smacked his lips, feeling a little embarrassed.
"But this guy is a little bit different from what I imagined... He doesn't have much of a relationship with you, either, but it makes me feel..."
"What he means is that you can go with your conditions, but the physical examination report is in his hands, which is a handle. He can poke you out at any time. This is more effective than any verbal threats, and it also digs a hole for you to Choose to jump or not.”
Li Haibo interrupted him. Liu Guangyue twitched his lips:
"But this also makes me believe that he really has no intention of involving the Nan family in this matter. Because this is a good way to control everyone without violence. If he has the Nan family behind him, he can do more Be simple and crude.”
"In that case, I'm going to the next one."
Li Haibo stood up without any nostalgia.
"I'll come see Xiao Qin next time. I hope her condition will improve next time I see her. You should also have a good rest."
"Hey, hey...you should be busy. You...be careful. Be careful Namboto."
Li Haibo suddenly turned back to look at him. Liu Guangyue rubbed his hands and then said:
"Even your savior, I don't feel this way. But this Namboto, the way he gets along with us, is as if he is just talking about ordinary business with a group of ordinary people, not in the black market, not with us. People who are stuck in the mud like this.
"I can't tell whether this is his naivety or his method. But this feeling is too easy for people like us to become addicted. You have to be careful about him... don't let your guard down."
"I see."
Li Haibo gave an unattractive smile,
"What kind of people are we and how should we live? I understand."
