Chapter 782 Helping the Old Lady Down the Stairs

"Are you saying that they exaggerated the efficacy of penicillin in the newspaper?" Chen Yang picked up the new issue of Workers' Newspaper on the table and handed it to Lin Tianbao.

Lin Tianbao nodded and said, "Boss, penicillin is our business. If they do this, what are we going to do in the future?"

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Why rush? It's not as simple as smashing the stock market for them to smash Penicillin."

"Stocks are a speculative business, and any disturbance can cause a chain reaction."

"Penicillin is a drug, and its effectiveness is here."

"Based on the public opinions published in the newspapers, it would be difficult to bring them down all at once. I guess they will start selling drugs at a higher price next."

upside down...

This is an industry term for materials, which means selling at a loss.

In this era, it is not uncommon for materials to be sold at a loss.

Maybe the supplies you stockpiled this month are in short supply due to war or some other reason.

But the next month, the war stopped, transportation resumed, and supplies increased. At this time, in order to make a quick profit, some merchants had to sell their supplies at a loss.

This situation is the same in every era...

Lin Tianbao shook his head and said: "But, according to the market research report we did."

"The figures for the sale of penicillin by Jews through the major trading houses roughly match the figures we have provided."

"That is to say, they have run out of stock now, so how can they sell it at a discount?"

"Most of Xiaotongqiao's goods are supplied to the military or purchased in large quantities. They don't care about the market price."

Chen Yang said slowly: "They still have bargaining chips. I know that a batch of penicillin was shipped from Japan on the 16th of last month."

"That batch of goods has not appeared on the market yet. I guess they are waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a fuss about it."

"Bring the price down step by step."

"Boss, do you mean they want to cause market panic by selling off the drugs in their hands in a short period of time?" Lin Tianbao seemed to understand something and said suddenly, "I understand. Is it the same as what they say in the stock market, helping an old lady down the stairs?"

"It's almost the same idea." Chen Yang sneered, "To crash the market, there are only a few tricks back and forth."

"But we can't let them lower the price so quickly."

"I have given some information to several professors at the School of Medicine of Fudan University and asked them to follow suit."

"The price should at least fall steadily to give those people a chance to escape."

"But if they are not prepared to run, they will have to bear the consequences themselves."

Lin Tianbao sighed, "I'm afraid there are too many greedy people. It's not easy to get them to let go."

Chen Yang shrugged and said, "Then I can't help you."

"Dabao, you should know that everyone has to pay for their own choices."

"I have given them a chance. If they still make the same choice, then I can't blame anyone else."

Knock, knock, knock. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Minister, Mr. Bernard from Matron Trading Company is looking for you." He Yuehua walked into the office and said respectfully.

"Bernard, it should be about the cigarette factory machinery." Chen Yang raised his hand and said, "Secretary He, please ask him to come in and make a cup of coffee for Mr. Bernard."

Lin Tianbao stood up and said, "Boss, I'll take my leave now since you have guests."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Dabao, stop worrying about Gu Ren. There isn't much in the warehouse these days, so you should take a rest. You're not a child anymore, it's time for you to have a child."

Why do you sound like my dad? Lin Tianbao kept muttering in his heart, don’t you have children either...

Of course, he didn't dare to say it, but just agreed timidly: "Got it, boss, I'm leaving first."

As soon as Lin Tianbao left, Bernard walked in.

"Minister Chen, you seem to be very busy." Bernard looked around Chen Yang's office. He hadn't been there for a few months and the office seemed to have changed a bit.

For example, on the mahogany display cabinet against the wall, a lot of good things had appeared there without me noticing.

Bernard has studied Chinese culture itself. Although his taste is not very good and he always buys fakes, he still has some cultural knowledge.

Chen Yang is now the Minister of Transport, so it is naturally impossible for anyone to send him fake goods.

Bernard walked over to the display case and looked at the exhibits with an expression of envy and jealousy.

"Mr. Bernard, you didn't come here to see these things, did you?" Chen Yang joked with a smile.

Bernard stood in front of the display case, looking somewhat distressed. “You call these things toys.”

"Minister Chen, you have several national treasures here, right?"

"You are so trustworthy. If you leave it here like this, if someone gets worried about it..."

"If you really don't care, why not sell a few to me? I promise I won't bargain."

Bernard's vision is really good. Some of the things on this shelf were brought by Ino Hisayuki from the Northeast.

It is said that it was taken out from the Imperial Palace of Manchukuo.

Of course, Chen Yang has quite a few national treasures. In addition to the 81 treasures from the Qing Palace that he had previously stolen from Yoshiko Kawashima, he also has one or two hundred national treasures of the Philippines.

As for national treasures, if you have one or two, you will treasure them like treasures.

But if you have too many things, you will have to hire someone to take care of them, which Chen Yang also thinks is a bit troublesome.

All of his stuff is kept in a private collection set up by Huafu Fund in Hong Kong Island, and the professional care costs alone are a huge sum of money every month.

Bernard reluctantly turned his eyes away from the display cabinet, walked up to Chen Yang and said, "Mr. Chen, the machine you want will arrive at the Shanghai port next Wednesday."

"This time we also delivered the 30,000 French rifles and a batch of light machine guns that you ordered earlier."

"General Hatton specifically instructed that if you are interested in those heavy artillery pieces, he can sell you some of them."

"As for the price, that's easy to talk about."

Chen Yang touched his nose subconsciously. This was a good suggestion.

The Germans captured a large number of weapons as French troops retreated to the British Isles.

Among them, there were 2,400 artillery pieces and about 8,000 light and heavy machine guns.

They didn't need so much themselves. Chen Yang had already exchanged for a batch of goods using ore. This time, he helped the Guiyang Cigarette Factory order equipment and got another batch.

As for this cannon, Chen Yang wanted it very much, but unfortunately it attracted too much attention.

Even the Japanese themselves don't have much of this stuff. If it is sent to Shanghai and is targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it might end up being a bargain for the Japanese.

Before he could refuse, there was another knock on the door. He Yuehua pushed the door open and said, "Minister, someone sent you an invitation. He said that his boss's surname is Song..."

It's almost the New Year, and I've been busy. I'm a little late, but I finally caught up and continue writing...
