Volume 1, Chapter 52: Shanghai Beach (5)
There was no need to rush this matter, so Douglas suspended his intention to continue persuading him. As long as he caught Fisher, he could catch the Chinese side. Although Douglas was very curious about what the pharmaceutical factory that Fang cooperated with the Germans produced.
However, for this curiosity, Fisher soon gave the answer: "Fang, please forgive me for being rude again. You gave up all the European and American markets of sulfonamide to the Germans. This is a major commercial decision-making mistake."
Douglas was almost shocked and confused. What's going on? Sulfonamide! This kind of medicine, which has been regarded as one of the greatest medical discoveries in this century by Europe and the United States, is actually related to this Chinese side?
But what was more shocking was yet to come, because the Chinese side said: "Fisher, you are wrong, because you are not a Chinese, so you cannot feel the pain of being a Chinese. Frankly speaking, I have already
The Chinese market agent of sulfonamide is handed over to Li & Company. The reason is that Li & Company has a powerful Germany behind it."
Mrs. Fisher brought the coffee, and Douglass had just taken it when he heard this sentence. His hand shook and the coffee cup fell to the ground. There was a crisp sound, snap!
Douglas quickly stood up and apologized, and Mrs. Fisher finally cleaned up after a lot of work.
Sitting down again, Dallas felt that his nerves were a little numb. Today's visit had yielded unexpected results. Yes, Fang did cooperate closely with Germany, but he also paid a heavy price. In view of this,
Douglass became more determined in his belief that something must be done for the United States.
"Fang, the United States is also very powerful!" When Fisher spoke, he puffed up his chest and looked very proud.
Fang Jianxiong smiled noncommittally, to which Fisher said anxiously: "Fang, I am an honest person."
Douglas was also anxious, but it was not appropriate for him to say anything. Fang Jianxiong shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Fisher, I have never doubted your quality, but I must say that it takes a certain amount of time to convert industrial strength into military strength. And
What are the U.S. government congressmen doing? To put it bluntly, if Germany and the United States border, will the U.S. government dare to maintain only a small and pitiful army?"
Both Douglas and Fisher were silent, and Fang Jianxiong got to the point. When there was a slight silence, the lady appeared and said that dinner was ready. After dinner, Douglas stood up to leave, seemingly impatient.
"Fisher, the rest is up to you." Fang Jianxiong said this, and Fisher bowed slightly: "Please rest assured, I will definitely complete the set goal."
………………
A week passed, and Fang Jianxiong lived in seclusion every day. Feng Changyun had no chance to get close to Fang Jianxiong, and even went to Fang Jianxiong several times, but the other party was unwilling to say more. Feng Changyun was very annoyed about this, but he had no good solution. He had no choice but to go to Fang Jianxiong several times.
Come find Li Muyan.
During this period, Li Muyan seemed to be doing nothing all day, staying in the hotel without going out. When Feng Changyun met Li Muyan, he said politely: "Mr. Muyan, what is Fang Fuguo doing? It's been seven days, and there's been no movement at all.
.”
"Yeah, I'm worried too, but there's nothing we can do about it. How about we take the initiative to go to Lihe Matheson and have a look?" Li Muyan said worried, but secretly happy in his heart.
Feng Changyun wanted to go visit Lihe Matheson, but he was worried that if Fang Jianxiong found out, things would be messed up. After thinking about it, he still couldn't resist the temptation and said: "Why don't we go and have a look together? Otherwise, procrastination is not a problem.
"Li Muyan said in her heart, your little fox's tail is exposed, you even want to take away Fang Jianxiong's business, you really don't know whether to live or die.
"Then let's go and have a look." The two of them went out together and called a rickshaw to head to the headquarters of Lihe Yang Bank on Jiujiang Road.
When we got to the place, we got off the car and went in, and naturally someone came to receive us. Zhu Chang didn't have much experience in dealing with foreigners. When we met, he said that he wanted to purchase some ordnance and wanted to know more about it. The foreigners who received him were very enthusiastic and immediately invited them into the office to talk. Turn around
Later, Victor learned the news in the office.
Victor is now a popular figure in Lihe Company. After two batches of arms transactions, and as the general agent of sulfonamides, Victor is now the manager. Moreover, in the arms trade, he is mainly responsible for the provinces along the Yangtze River.
business.
When he learned that it was Li Muyan and Feng Changyun who came, Victor sneered repeatedly and asked his men to find out. Soon there was a report, saying that they wanted to sell goods directly from Lihe Foreign and asked about the price.
Victor, who had Fang Jianxiong's benefits, naturally couldn't do this deal. He immediately ordered him to quote the normal price. The price of a rifle was immediately quoted at 75 yuan. Feng Changyun's face turned pale at that time. He could only feel dejected.
If you want to leave, this price is definitely unacceptable.
Victor sent these two away and immediately went to report the news to Fang Jianxiong in person. As it turned out, Li Muyan got there first. This man had just left the foreign trade company, so he immediately came to inform Fang Jianxiong on the pretext that he had something to do, and also wanted to urge him.
.That Feng Changyun even dares to taint your business, you need to give him some color.
Fang Jianxiong didn't say anything to avoid being gloomy. In fact, he had never planned to deal with Feng Changyun and brought him to Shanghai. He even wanted to let him back out of trouble. Unexpectedly, this guy actually found Lihe Matheson.
When Victor came in, Fang Jianxiong didn't stand up, but just nodded slightly. Li Muyan was even more determined about this. If he could treat a foreigner like this, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to deal with Feng Changyun? Of course, Li Muyan also put away some of his bad points.
thoughts.
"Victor, you go and do something." Fang Jianxiong ordered coldly, and Victor immediately stepped forward to listen to the order.
Victor followed the order and left. Fang Jianxiong showed a mysterious smile that frightened Li Muyan. How much strength did Fang Jianxiong hide that could make foreigners so obedient?
"Mr. Mu Yan, some things should be discussed in advance. How can I tell Mr. Futai when I get back so that there won't be any trouble?"
Li Muyan immediately smiled and said: "Master Fang, just based on your instructions, I will follow your instructions." Fang Jianxiong nodded with satisfaction.
A servant came to report that someone was asking to see him, saying that the address was given by Mr. Fang. Fang Jianxiong sent Li Muyan away, and when he came out, he saw the young man who fell on the roadside that day, and smiled and said: "So it's you, you want to see me for something?"
"
The young man saw Fang Jianxiong standing on the steps. He was impressed by his temperament and demeanor. He stepped forward and wanted to kneel down, but he didn't want to be scolded in his ears: "Stand and talk, get out of here if your knees get weak!"
The young man was startled and looked at Fang Jianxiong's angry face in disbelief. He lowered his head and said solemnly: "Young man is here to deliver unused oceans to Mr." As he said this, he took out a pile of oceans and placed them on the ground.
I didn't dare to kneel anymore, I just lowered my head and waited.
Fang Jianxiong was a little surprised, looked at him with a smile, then showed a hint of understanding, and said calmly: "I saw that you were an ambitious person that day, unwilling to do anything to make false accusations. I know your purpose of coming today. You
You have to have confidence in yourself, and you will be able to accomplish great things with your own efforts. I won’t take the money back after I take it out, you can take it with you.”
After saying that, Fang Jianxiong turned around and left. This young man was still very satisfactory, but now is not the time to establish his power in Shanghai. Today, there are many gangs in Shanghai, and three religions and nine streams are mixed together. Fang Jianxiong does not want to get too deep, so as not to miss important things.
As for this young man, we will see later.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Zhu Xi, a servant brought by Feng Changyun, came and was stopped at the door. He cried loudly and begged to see Mr. Fang. Fang Jianxiong heard the sound and came out to take a look and asked: "What's going on?"
Zhu Xi kowtowed repeatedly and said: "My master was arrested by foreigners on patrol. I beg Mr. Fang for help."
Fang Jianxiong looked unhappy, and Zhu Xi even kowtowed and said: "You know, I have caused trouble to Mr. Fang. I will definitely tell my master when you come back and let him remember your great kindness. Please forgive Mr. Fang for his kindness."
For the sake of the National Taiwan University, I help you." After hearing this, Fang Jianxiong thought to himself, it would be nice if he didn't come to plot against me.
"Go and ask Mr. Mu Yan to come over. There are some things that I can't help with." Fang Jianxiong said nothing and turned back inside. Li Muyan lived not far away and came within half an hour. It was the same after meeting him.
Pretending to be anxious, he said: "Master Fang, Brother Changyun ate the fairy dance in the hall that was used to expose the White Party. The sister in that hall falsely accused Brother Changyun of making a fortune. Changyun refused to give in, so the sister called him.
When the men came, they beat Changyun first, and then asked the police to take him away. Now that he has entered the prison cell, he is afraid that he will suffer a lot, so I also ask Mr. Fang to rescue him quickly."
Fang Jianxiong looked at Zhu Xi who was kneeling on the ground, and sighed: "Now, I have to owe favors to foreigners again. It's not that I'm afraid that Mr. Futai will look bad, so I don't want to care about this matter. This is from Shanghai.
What Changtangzi serves is a mixed bag of dragons and snakes, and Changyun likes to talk nonsense in front of women, hey..., forget it, I will send someone to invite Mr. Victor."
As soon as he finished speaking, Victor arrived. After a few polite words, he frowned and said when he learned that he was going to the patrol room to find someone: "Feng Changyun? This name is very familiar. It seems that there was such a person at Lihe Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. in the morning. I was
Not here."
Seeing Zhu Xi who was kneeling on the ground peeking, Li Muyan immediately changed his face, pretending to be uneasy. Fang Jianxiong also changed his face slightly, and then said impatiently: "Thank you, Mr. Victor, go and get this person."
Come out and put him on the ship and send him back to Anqing." After saying this, he waved to Qi Erzhu beside him, who handed him a plate of ocean.
"Use this money to make money for people. Mr. Mu Yan, I will tell you the ugly story first. In the future, there will be no need to change people in the purchase of ordnance. By the way, Mr. Mu Yan, please give Mr. Futai a message, just say
I'm afraid Jianxiong will have to stay in Shanghai for a while."
Zhu Xi heard everything Fang Jianxiong said clearly. Li Muyan took the words and said, "Master Fang, what's the matter with the teaching team?"
Fang Jianxiong said calmly: "It won't be delayed, there are German instructors in charge. By the way, the goods requested by Mr. Futai have arrived. You can pick up the goods with the money order tomorrow and see the guests off!"
