Chapter 492 What is domineering
"Mr. Gary, why are you here?" Chen Yang looked at the familiar face in front of him, smiled and asked He Yuehua to make him a cup of coffee.
Gary sat opposite Chen Yang and said sincerely: "Mr. Chen, I came to you today because I want your help with something."
"I have a batch of supplies parked in Haiphong Port, Vietnam, which need to be transported to China."
Chen Yang looked at Gary and said, "You have been doing weapons business before. When did you switch to the supplies business?"
Gary sighed and said, "It's not my own business. I have a friend who used to do supplies business in the United States and Japan."
"Because the U.S. and Japanese governments did not sign a new maritime trade agreement, his goods could not be shipped out all of a sudden, and a lot of them were piled up in the warehouse."
"I knew these goods were very popular in China, so I spent a reasonable price to take over his goods."
"Who knew that transportation would be such a headache."
"The Yunnan-Vietnam Railway is very popular right now. I believe that you are the only one who can help me transport the goods in."
"Of course, I won't ask you for help for nothing. This batch of supplies is 700 tons in total, and I can pay you a certain percentage of the compensation."
As long as there is money to be made, then there is no problem.
Chen Yang touched his nose and said, "That's no problem. I'll ask Dong Ye from the General Affairs Department to write you a note stating that it's a military purchase."
"No one should stop us along the way. However, if the government stops us, I won't be able to do anything if the fight in southern Guangxi gets so bad."
Gary waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about that. The government won't dare to stop our supplies."
"Mr. Gary has to come here in person for such a small matter?" Chen Yang said with a smile, "Why don't you just send me a telegram?"
“We are partners.”
Gary smiled and said, "Of course not this. I came here from the United States because of your pharmaceutical factory."
"Pharmaceutical factory? Didn't you say you've already found a lawyer to handle all this?" Chen Yang asked with a serious expression, "What's the problem?"
Chen Yang has been working on a pharmaceutical factory in the United States for a long time. In his opinion, it is a country with free investment and there should not be any obstacles.
However, up to now, a lot of money has been invested and a lot of taxes have been paid, but the progress has been very slow.
Chen Yang didn't know whether it was due to institutional reasons or because running a pharmaceutical factory there was just so troublesome.
"There is no problem with the procedures, but some people think that your purpose of establishing this pharmaceutical factory is questionable."
Gary's words were full of helplessness.
Chen Yang was even more puzzled. "What is the purpose of building a pharmaceutical factory? Isn't it just to produce penicillin? What's the problem with this?"
"America is not a country that claims to be free and equal, and I don't think there is anything wrong with that."
"Who on earth thinks there's something wrong with me?"
Gary frowned and said in a deep voice, "Edgar, Hoover."
"What?" Chen Yang was stunned. This person was a famous figure in American history.
The first Director of the FBI and the longest-serving Director of the FBI in U.S. history.
In his lifetime, he has served eight presidents and sixteen justice directors. In China, that makes him a veteran of three dynasties and an important official of the country.
He joined the U.S. Bureau of Justice Investigation at the age of twenty-four and separated the Bureau from the government in 1935.
A new department was established, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI for short.
Chen Yang has seen this department in many film and television works and novels. Originally, their main responsibility was to monitor communists and extremists in the United States.
Deport them on appropriate charges.
However, in the United States, a country where capital has the final say, it is impossible for any government department to be truly selfless.
What Chen Yang wondered was why the FBI targeted him for manufacturing penicillin.
This is medicine, not contraband.
Moreover, all his procedures were reasonable and legal, he did not commit any murder or arson, and he even paid all the taxes he was supposed to pay. There was no reason to target him.
"Mr. Gary, the FBI must have a formal reason for targeting me, right?" Chen Yang folded his hands in front of his chest, and his tone became a little unfriendly.
"Mr. Chen, please don't worry. In their view, any scientific and technological achievements should be made public as long as they are beneficial to human progress. This is the attitude that scientific research should have."
"So, they need to have an in-depth and undisguised communication with you," Gary added lightly.
"Okay, okay, it really is a free and democratic country." Chen Yang's nose was crooked with anger.
Chen Yang is not a professional scientist. He has only made some achievements in transportation with the help of system scripts. He is a layman in natural sciences, but he quickly understood what Gary meant.
These Americans wanted to seize all the technologies, research results, and even the research data used in the development of penicillin.
There is no way he would agree to this condition.
Is it easy to get some leading technology and achievements? How can we let the Americans take it away like this? Do these people still have shame?
"Mr. Gary, I'm really curious. My team has only achieved a little bit of scientific and technological success, and it's only in the medical field. Is it really worth it for you to do this?" Chen Yang's tone was full of sarcasm.
"Mr. Chen, you should know that in a country like the United States, capital is very wary of foreign affairs."
Gary took a sip of coffee and said, "You are not the only one in the pharmaceutical industry, but you are the only one who has penicillin."
"They need your penicillin,"
"Oh, is that what you need?" There was unspeakable anger in Chen Yang's tone.
"It's negotiable. I've talked to those people, and they just want you to put the lab there, make the data public, and have a deep exchange with them."
"It won't harm your interests."
Isn't this detrimental to interests? Chen Yang felt like laughing.
Chen Yang stood up, leaned on the desk with both hands and said to Gary: "Mr. Gary, do you know the teachings of Confucius and Mencius that we Chinese people talk about?"
"The teachings of Confucius and Mencius?" Gary found this term a little new.
"If you want to understand the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, you must first understand what is the kingly way and what is the hegemonic way."
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?" Gary sounded a little confused.
"The kingly way is, if I want something from him and he won't give it to me, I will beat him until he gives it to me."
"Bully, that is, I want something from him, and he gives it to me, but I still beat him up, because he has a bad attitude and is slow to give it to me."
"And the way of Confucius and Mencius is to tell him before you steal something..."
"Mr. Gary, do you think this is appropriate?"
