Chapter 120 Sky-high Price
"Is there anything we can't talk about?" Li Xianshu was a little surprised.
Kuroda Yusuke said hesitantly: "The Shanghai Labor Union hopes that we can donate some materials to help the Chinese people."
"Help the Chinese people? Hahaha." Li Xianshu laughed exaggeratedly.
"The Reds are asking you for money? That's like a fox asking a tiger for meat. What are they thinking?"
Kuroda Yusuke said: "You should also know that in the Huayuankou Massacre, Yamashiro actually blew up the mouth of the Yellow River without caring about the lives of the people, blocking the empire's westward advance."
"This tragedy caused tens of millions of people in three provinces to suffer, and hundreds of thousands of people died."
"The Shanghai Labor Union took the lead in donating money to major trade unions and consulates of various countries for disaster relief,"
"There are two voices in the consulate right now. One is to help, and the other is to pretend nothing happened."
"I don't know what to do either."
Li Xianshu stood up and said slowly: "I think we can agree to them."
"War is only a means of conquest, not the whole."
"This is a good opportunity to win people's hearts..."
"I will coordinate the supplies..."
"I understand..." Kuroda Yusuke nodded, bowed, and hurriedly left the villa area.
French Concession...
Biel Company..
When Chen Yang saw George take out the contract from the briefcase, he excitedly rushed up to him and kissed him hard.
George wiped his saliva with a look of disgust.
"Chen, if I were you I wouldn't be so happy..."
"Do you know how much it costs to configure a constant temperature laboratory, a bacterial culture room, a sterile operation workshop, etc. according to their requirements?"
George said as he handed a plan to Chen Yang.
"How much? 620 million pounds?" Looking at the estimated total investment amount listed at the back of the plan, Chen Yang almost threw the plan away.
620 million pounds....converted to nearly million oceans at the current exchange rate.
Chen Yang was stunned.
Originally I thought that by extorting one million dollars from Mr. Kong and adding supplies, I could raise two million dollars, which would be enough to make medicines.
Who knew that was just a fraction, and the figure listed by the other party was actually an astronomical figure.
More than 6 million pounds, even if you sell your body, it's not enough...
Who made this plan? Is there any common sense? Is there a need for so many...
George seemed to see through Chen Yang's thoughts and gloated: "This is a plan made by a professional organization recommended by Professor Flory."
"The price won't vary too much."
"I have already paid the £100,000 deposit you gave me, and I have also found an agent."
"When I came back, the other party had already chosen the address, and the first advance payment of 500,000 pounds was to be received before August this year."
"The other party will find a laboratory and a factory to order equipment as soon as possible."
"If you don't think it through, these 100,000 pounds will go down the drain..."
"Of course, there is also some good news that you would like to hear."
Chen Yang frowned and said, "George, don't keep me in suspense at this time. If you have something to say, just say it quickly."
George smiled and said, "I have had a detailed discussion with Professor Flory. He said that the reason why the experiments failed repeatedly was because they chose to cultivate the mother bacteria in the wrong direction, and the bacteria could not be reproduced on a large scale."
"Now, Professor Qian En has proposed using Hami melon to cultivate it. I believe the success rate will increase by more than 20 percent."
"That is to say, I believe in your judgment. They can really develop an antibiotic that can replace sulfonamide, or even be better than sulfonamide..."
"So, I decided that I would also invest in your plan..."
"That's great." Chen Yang's eyes lit up and he said, "How much do you plan to invest?"
George shrugged and said, "I've calculated all the available assets, and I can probably get together five million dollars."
"According to the investment ratio, I think it should be no problem for this amount of money to account for 25%."
Not only is it no problem, it's absolutely no problem...
He is indeed a brother-in-law, spending 5 million dollars at once, so generous...
George patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "Chen, you are a genius, I am very optimistic about you."
"So, I'm betting all of the Louis family's wealth this time. If I fail, I might have to beg on the streets of London..."
Uh, as a Frenchman, shouldn't you beg on the streets of Paris?
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let you beg for food..."
Chen Yang did not lie in this statement. He was in charge of transportation now, and it was not easy for him to make money.
"By the way, George, can you transfer Manager Jeff to me? I may have to do something else now, and the company needs to find a professional to manage it."
George thought about it and said, "No problem. I just plan to promote Gordon to be the manager. Jeff is a very experienced person. To use your Chinese words, he is good at maintaining the status quo but not aggressive enough."
"I still hope that my business can maintain an upward vitality..."
Wow, I didn't expect that my brother-in-law's ideas were quite advanced. After Chen Yang exchanged a few words with him, he left Biel's Company...
Mountain city...
Military Control Office..
Today, the three big bosses of the Military Control Commission, Boss Dai, Zheng Jiemin, and Mao Feng, rarely appeared in the office at the same time.
There are guns and ammunition outside the office, and no outsiders are allowed to approach.
It's obvious that something big is happening.
"Everyone, an urgent message has come from Mount Fuji. The Cabinet has approved the Army Department's operational plan to invade Wuhan..."
"The Army Department will dispatch military attaché Kumano Ryohei and former Japanese Prime Minister Inukai Takeshi's adopted son Inukai Ken to bring the operational plan from the mainland to China."
"The telegram sent by Fujisan stated that the other party has already set off and will arrive at the Wusongkou Wharf in Shanghai on the morning of the 10th of this month on the Zhihe cargo ship."
"The government has learned from the failures of previous operations and this time intends to use a protracted war to consume the enemy's manpower..."
"Now, China has reached a life-and-death situation. We can't go to the battlefield with guns, but we must do something to boost people's morale..."
"So, I decided to have the people from the Shanghai Military Control Station assassinate Inukai Ken and Kumano Ryohei at all costs..."
"Zhaiwu, how many troops are there in the Shanghai Military Control Station now?"
The assassination of Kumano Ryohei and Inukai Ken planned by the Military Intelligence Bureau was clearly a life-or-death operation.
But it had to be done.
In the past few months, Shancheng has been brought to shame.
First, senior government officials were exposed for embezzling national treasury resources, using their power to spread false information, reap stock market securities, and hoard supplies to make money. Then, after the failure of the Battle of Xuzhou, the Military Commission ordered the bombing of Huayuankou, causing tens of millions of people in three provinces to suffer.
This is simply a slap in the face of the Nationalist government, one slap louder than the other.
The government's credibility has declined, the enthusiasm for the war of resistance has been fading, and China has really reached a critical moment of life and death.
Why worry about life and death at this time?
"According to the report from Stationmaster Xu, there are currently eleven members in the action team, including the radio operator and the intelligence officer, a total of sixteen people..."
