Chapter 116: Find a Sucker
French Concession, George's garden house.
George was leaning on the soft sofa, holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other.
The phonograph in the hall was playing world famous music, and George closed his eyes with a look of enjoyment on his face.
As a pure Frenchman, eight hours of work a day is his limit.
If he works one more minute, he loses...
There was a sound of footsteps, and two figures entered the room one after the other.
Haley ran over cheering, turned off the phonograph, pulled George up and said, "George, I'm getting engaged."
"Chen Yang just said that we are getting engaged..."
"What? You drugged him?" George looked shocked.
"Bah, you took the wrong medicine," Haley pouted, looking unhappy.
"I'm going to ignore you. I'm going to write a letter to my grandmother and invite her to come to China to attend my engagement ceremony..."
With that said, Haley skipped towards the bedroom like a child who had received a beloved gift.
"Chen, you finally figured it out." George walked to the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of sweet wine and said, "I know you like sweet wine. This is a new type of semi-sweet frozen wine brewed by a farm in Boston during the New Year. Would you like a glass?"
Wow, this thing is rare.
Frozen wine is different from ordinary red wine. Farmers will cover the grapes with a layer of transparent film when they are ripe to allow them to dry naturally.
Wait until winter to pick the grapes, when their sweetness and maturity reach their peak, and the wine will taste sweet and delicious.
Of course, because the process is complicated and time-consuming, the output of this kind of wine is very small, and only bosses like George who specialize in the red wine supply business can get some...
Chen Yang put down his hat and said, "Okay, I also have something to discuss with you."
George was stunned for a moment, poured a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Chen Yang, and said, "Do you want to talk about supplies?"
"It's okay. The Kong family can target you, but they can't target me."
"I still have a way to deal with one million supplies..."
"The material issue is a small matter, and the second-generation ancestor of the Kong family is nothing." Chen Yang took a sip of wine and said, "I want to ask, can you help me go to the UK..."
"Go to England?" George asked in confusion. "Why go there?"
Chen Yang thought for a while and said, "George, what do you think is the most profitable thing now?"
"Nonsense, of course it's medicines, weapons and supplies." George thought Chen Yang was really drugged by Haley and was stunned.
"George, don't worry. Let me ask you, if I have a medicine that is more effective than sulfa."
"Besides, no one knows about the existence of this drug yet. How much do you think it will be worth?"
"Puff," George spat out a mouthful of red wine.
"What did you say? You have a drug that's more effective than sulfa, and no one knows about it yet..."
"Are you kidding?"
Chen Yang looked at George calmly and said, "When have you ever seen me joke with you..."
Hiss, George couldn't help but take a breath.
Sulfonamide is already a scarce commodity with profits several times higher.
If there is a drug that is more powerful than sulfa...
Sulfonamide is an essential anti-inflammatory drug on the battlefield and can save many lives.
If the effect is better than sulfonamide, then the price will naturally be more expensive than sulfonamide.
In other words, it is a mountain of gold.
After all, life-saving drugs are just like the lines in "Dying to Survive", life is money...
"But don't be too happy too soon." Chen Yang continued: "This medicine has not yet been fully developed."
"If you want to mass-produce it, it will take at least two to three years."
George shrugged and said, "What's the big deal?"
"This is a business that will earn you a lot of money. Two or three years is nothing."
"Wait, you don't want me to go to England just for this medicine, do you?"
Chen Yang nodded, took out a written address from his arms, handed it to George and said, "The professor who developed this medicine is British pathologist Florey and biologist Chain..."
"According to what I have heard, the development of this drug has now reached a bottleneck."
"The Sheffield University laboratory seems to have refused to provide research funding because their research progress was too slow..."
"However, I have read their research and development reports through some channels, and I feel that this drug has great prospects. We can purchase their patents and even provide sufficient funds for them to continue research and development."
"A drug whose development progress is at a bottleneck?" George felt something was wrong when he heard this: "Well, are you sure?"
Chen Yang nodded. This was information that the Black Dragon Society had found out, and the source was absolutely reliable.
George fell silent. Even if he had never eaten pork, he had seen a pig run...
The funds required for drug research and development are likely to be astronomical...
Especially when it reaches the bottleneck period, it becomes a bottomless pit.
Because the development of new drugs requires a long process, if something is not right in the early stages, the loss is still acceptable.
But the risk is often greater when the bottleneck period comes. At this time, it is pure gambling.
If you are lucky and break through the bottleneck, everyone will be happy. But if the research and development fails, you will lose everything, maybe even your underwear.
Moreover, even the University of Sheffield is unwilling to continue to invest in research and development funds, obviously not optimistic about this subject. It is too late to rashly invest in it at this time...
He felt the risk was too great.
"George, please trust my judgment. I think they will succeed." Chen Yang said in a deep voice, "Go ahead and talk. As long as they are willing to cooperate, we can agree to any conditions."
George sighed slightly and said, "I really don't know where you get such confidence, but I still decided to believe you."
George put the note with the address in his arms and said, "I will go back tomorrow to arrange things at the company and leave by boat as soon as possible..."
Chen Yang raised his glass and said, "Then I wish you smooth sailing..."
The next day, Chen Ji Commercial Bank.
Chen Yang sat in the office in a daze.
Until this moment he had not come up with any good way to solve the problem given by Li Xianshu.
If those materials were leaked out, not only Zheng Jiemin, but even Director Dai would not be able to protect himself.
However, if he could get those positions, he would be another Ming Lou.
He knew better than anyone how important these identities were to the War of Resistance.
I have to say that Li Xianshu's move was extremely vicious.
This is not a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy.
"Boss, boss." Lin Tianbao's voice brought Chen Yang's thoughts back to reality.
Seeing Chen Yang's absent-minded look, Lin Tianbao couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
"It looked as if the sky was about to fall..."
Chen Yang smiled bitterly. For him, it was like the sky was falling...
Wait, Chen Yang's eyes lit up and his thoughts suddenly became clear. Yes, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up.
Damn, why am I so stupid to take on this difficult problem myself?
These days, it’s not easy to find a helper, and it’s not easy to find a scapegoat.
"Dabao, you are such a talent." Chen Yang jumped up and ran out while grabbing his clothes.
He was still mumbling: "Dabao, I will give you a raise later..."
"Ah..." What happened to the boss? Lin Dabao looked puzzled...
