Chapter 734 Give a big gift

"Boss, I don't have a boss." Rogers seemed a little flustered, and denied repeatedly: "Mr. Chen, you are overthinking. I am the boss of this company. There is no one else."

Chen Yang smiled slightly, and did not argue with the other party on this issue. Instead, he raised his glass and clinked it with Manager Gordon and said, "Manager Gordon, the prices of materials business in Shanghai have fluctuated greatly recently. You have to be careful."

Gordon stood up hurriedly and said with a careful smile: "Thank you, Boss Chen, for your reminder."

"We don't have much storage space. Business has been tough in the past two years. The five largest commercial banks in Shanghai are the ones making money."

"Businesses like ours only earn hard-earned money."

Chen Yang nodded and said, "Manager Gordon, doing business now is not the same as before."

"You have to know how to follow the right people. You can't just do whatever you want."

"It's not the turn of foreigners to call the shots in the Shanghai Stock Exchange."

After saying that, Chen Yang glanced at Rogers intentionally or unintentionally...

*****

In a garden house in Hongkou District, Shanghai.

Led by the waiter, Rogers hurried into the villa.

"Mr. Rogers, please wait here. I'll go and call the gentleman down." The waitress politely led Rogers to a seat in the side hall and then turned and went upstairs.

Rogers sat on the stool, feeling as if he was being bitten by ants. He felt uncomfortable all over and kept looking towards the stairs.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard footsteps coming from upstairs.

The waiter from before slowly walked down the stairs, leading a sleepy white man.

The white man yawned as he walked: "Mr. Rogers, don't you know that it is very rude to disturb others' sleep in the middle of the night?"

Rogers quickly saluted and said, "Mr. Cohen."

The white man seemed to be quite resentful. He looked at Rogers and muttered, "Wake him up from his sweet dream. People like him should go to hell."

Rogers stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Cohen, it's not that I want to disturb your sweet dreams, but I have something I must report to you immediately."

Cohen's face changed slightly, and he sat aside and asked, "What happened, Mr. Rogers? You just came to China not long ago, you won't get into any big trouble, right?"

Rogers shook his head and said, "That's not the case. Originally, we were planning to get closer to Mr. Lin of Sunshine Trading step by step."

"But I don't know if it's our good luck or bad luck that we accidentally invited the boss behind Boss Lin today."

Cohen frowned and asked, "Did you find Minister Chen?"

"Didn't I tell you that we have to take it step by step? We must build a good relationship with Boss Lin and find out the source of the goods he has."

Rogers nodded and said, "Yes, I am indeed following your instructions, but today was indeed an accident."

"I don't know why Boss Chen showed up at Sunshine Trading Company."

Cohen was silent for a while, then he told the woman next to him, "Lauren, pour a glass of wine for me and Mr. Rogers."

Upon hearing this, the waitress beside them hurried to the wine cabinet at the other end of the room and poured wine for the two of them.

Cohen turned to Rogers and said, "Tell me everything you said to Boss Chen."

Rogers thought about it, and told Cohen in detail everything Chen Yang said and did after entering the box of the International Hotel.

From beginning to end, it took Rogers half an hour to finish everything.

Cohen took a sip of brandy and said slowly, "Mr. Rogers, according to your description, Mr. Chen's attitude is now ambiguous."

"He was neither resistant to working with us nor did he show much interest."

"It seems that the information we collected earlier is correct."

Rogers didn't quite understand what Cohen meant.

Cohen smiled and explained: "The Hong Kong Customs Department receives medicines shipped from the UK to Hong Kong Island every two to three months."

"Sometimes we also receive medicines sent from Germany."

"Based on the current data, their drug supply to the Chinese battlefield is not enough, let alone enough to expand to Eastern Europe or even North Africa."

"So, I'm sure it's not that he doesn't want to cooperate with us, but that he doesn't have the ability to do so."

Rogers was even more puzzled when he heard this: "Mr. Cohen, since you know his background, why do you want us to spend a lot of money to buy Biel's company?"

"Based on the current turnover, it will take at least five years for this business to make back its investment."

“That’s not at all in line with our investment expectations.”

Cohen shook his head and said, "Mr. Rogers, things are different now."

"Our intelligence officers in the UK have already investigated the latest information."

"Mr. George is in contact with Mr. Macron in Italy, Pete and Lori from the Mexican National Government Office, and the French government is also actively preparing for the construction of the pharmaceutical factory."

"Although they have surrendered, they still have a large number of factories and land assets in their home country. They are planning to build a penicillin factory west of Paris."

"If all this is done on schedule, I believe that in more than a year, that is, in June 1942, the production capacity of penicillin will increase by more than five times."

"By then, there won't be enough medicine for China to consume all of it."

Rogers suddenly realized, "So, you think this Mr. Chen is interested in cooperating with us?"

Cohen smiled and said, "Mr. Rogers, don't underestimate the ambitions of the Chinese."

"They may be weak now, but the number of elites among them is definitely no less than that of any other race."

"It is unrealistic for the Japanese to successfully enslave this country, in my opinion."

Rogers hesitated and said, "But according to the analysis of our intelligence experts, China is no match for Japan."

"Stupid." Cohen said disdainfully: "If the future of a country can be determined by a bunch of data, then why do we have to go to war?"

"The experts in the intelligence community only use data to extrapolate and determine where things are going."

“But sometimes we have to consider much more than that.”

"Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you this."

"Well, there is a Chinese saying that goes 'be polite before using force.'"

"Let's first give a big gift to Mr. Chen to see if there is any possibility for the two sides to continue cooperation."

Big gift? Rogers looked a little confused.

Cohen snapped his fingers, and the waitress Lauren hurried over.

Cohen whispered something in her ear, and she nodded and walked quickly upstairs.

After a while, Lauren came down with a briefcase.

Cohen threw the document bag in front of Rogers and said, "This is the news that the British intelligence organization just received."

"I believe Mr. Chen will be very interested in this gift..."
