Although Zhuo Fei said it very clearly, Andy still didn't make a decision on the spot, and the businessman's temperament made Andy not dare to make the decision to cooperate with Zhuo Fei easily. The people in the study room were pushed away, Andy looked at the person who came, and asked with a calm face, "You must have heard what we just said, I want to know, how likely do you think this thing is successful?" ”

Entering the study, Andy asked about several old men with gray hair, Westerners with high noses and blue eyes, and Oriental faces in cardigans. The brown-haired old man who entered the study first frowned and replied, "Mr. Andy, we all heard the conversation you had just now, and Mr. Cao also explained to us in detail the part about Lu Buwei. As for the fact that penicillin has been cooperated with Bayer in Germany, I think you still need to confirm it, because we still don't know if what the Chinese kid said is true. ”

The brown-haired old man was obviously the leader of the old men who were rushing in, and when he said this, the other old men did not speak again, but each found a place to sit down first at Andy's signal. "Doctor, you should know that the Chinese kid was brought by my niece Angela, and according to my niece's personality, I think the new anti-inflammatory drug called penicillin that Chinese kid is talking about should be true. However, you are quite right, we need to check the recent movements of Bayer AG in Germany. ”

As he spoke, Andy, who got up from behind the desk, took the wine and wine glasses on the table, brought a glass of wine to each of the old men who entered the study, and personally handed the wine glasses to the old men. "You and I have been friends for more than 5 years, and many times I have made decisions in my business based on your advice, and I hope this time is the same, and I don't want to lose such a great opportunity if possible."

The old Chinese man with long-lived eyebrows suddenly smiled at this time, "Mr. Andy, I don't know as much as the doctors, but I can read people, especially good at reading people's faces." When you were talking in the secret room just now, I could tell from the man's voice that this man is a man with great ambitions, and this kind of person will not be willing to be subordinate, and if you want to control that person, I advise you to decline the opportunity to cooperate with him, otherwise you will bring disaster to yourself. ”

The old Chinese man surnamed Cao was upset when he heard this, but Andy didn't mean to blame the other party at all, and the other old men in the study also looked surprised, obviously they had long been used to hearing this kind of remarks from Old Man Cao. "Mr. Cao, I said a long time ago that in front of me, you don't have to worry about anything, you can say whatever you want. I'm just a kid compared to your life experiences, and I hope to have your help and guidance. Instead of blaming the old man surnamed Cao, Andy lowered his posture.

Several old men with wine glasses glanced at each other, and then one of them had a white-haired old man with a scab on his nose and smiled, "Andy, you are a good boy, you have been taking care of us all these years and can't do anything, you are in trouble, we naturally want to help you." The white-haired old man's words were like a slap in the face, which made Andy, who had been hesitant, suddenly breathe a sigh of relief, his business over the years has not been guided by these old people.

The brown-haired old man who spoke first leaned his neck and took a sip of wine, then coughed lightly twice before he spoke, "That plan of the Chinese kid sounds tempting, and if his plan can really be realized, Andy, I guarantee that you will become one of the most powerful people in America in a few years." The brown-haired old man's words made Andy smile, but the joy on his face had not yet completely rippled, but the tone of the brown-haired old man's tone suddenly changed.

"But Andy, you have to know the risks involved, to use a Chinese saying, pie doesn't fall from the sky. That Chinese kid not only has this new anti-inflammatory drug in his hand, but now he also has the design drawings of a form of rifle, so he has to come to you for cooperation? A few of us don't think that the $500,000 you're offering will be so attractive, and as soon as his partnership with Bayer begins, it won't be long before he gets more dollars than that. ”

"yes, why does he have to work with me?" The brown-haired old man's words made Andy fall into deep thought for an instant, just because of Angela's relationship with himself, it was impossible, Andy immediately vetoed the idea, in the world of businessmen, family and business should be two different things at all.

Looking at Andy, who fell into contemplation from joy to moment, several old men in the study suddenly laughed, "Andy, do you know why we old men like to live with you?" What we like is your character, things that are not sure will never be done easily, which makes your business has not been affected by external factors, today's matter, it is difficult for us to give advice, and the final decision is still to be made by yourself. ”

"Do I agree or refuse?" Andy's mind was already in turmoil, and he subconsciously told himself that the plan proposed by Zhuo Fei was indeed promising, even if the plan failed, with that new anti-inflammatory drug as a base, he would not lose anything in the end. But once Zhuo Fei's plan is successfully completed, then what he will get will be tens of thousands of rewards, Andy has always dreamed of one day entering the circle of high society, such a tempting plan is really difficult for Andy to refuse.

"It's not impossible to cooperate, it's just that in cooperation with the other party, Andy needs to find your own position and role." The white-haired old man spoke. "Lao Cao has just said that Chinese kid is a very ambitious person, if you blindly want to control the other party to create benefits for you, maybe it will arouse the disgust and resistance of the other party, and then there will be a result of chicken and egg fighting. I suggest that you choose to leave your plans and resources to the other party unconditionally, and you will only sit back and enjoy the achievements in the end. ”

"Sir, do you mean that I can cooperate with the other party in this matter?" The white-haired old man's words gave Andy motivation again, and he immediately asked impatiently.

"Of course, we didn't say that we want you to reject the other party, the doctor just said so much, but he was just reminding you of the risks of this matter." Andy's expression at this time made the white-haired old man laugh, "We have discussed it, and the plan proposed by that Chinese kid is indeed very tempting, and the chance of success is also very high. Even if you do these businesses in the United States for another 100 years, you may not be able to enter the sight of those big conglomerates, but if this plan can be successful in the end, you will become one of those big conglomerates, and you will have the strength that they cannot shake. ”

"Hitler was a madman who was always trying to expand the living space of the Germans, and on this point, I agree with the Chinese kid that Hitler and the Germans were indeed an excellent springboard and temporary allies." The brown-haired old man straightened his face and spoke. "Germany's defeat in World War I had already accumulated enough anger for the Germans, who had been suppressed and blockaded by Britain and France for a long time, and Hitler was the fuse loaded on the powder keg of Germany, and as long as there was a suitable opportunity to detonate, Europe would become a battlefield."

"At present, in the European countries, France's armament is strong and capable, and most of the British armies are deployed in overseas colonies, except for the British naval fleet, the Germans will not be afraid of the armies of any of their countries. We have already seen it secretly when we tested that new rifle at the seashore, and if Hitler had obtained it, I think that there would be no army of that country in the whole of Europe, including the Soviet troops in the Far East, who would be a match for the Germans. ”

"In this case, can we say that we can ship the weapons replaced by the Germans to Asia and sell them to the Chinese?" After listening to the analysis of the brown-haired old man, Andy has begun to dream of becoming a big arms dealer who can manipulate war.

"No, Andy, you're wrong, the Chinese kid's plan was not to want the Germans to take over all of Europe." The white-haired old man interrupted Andy's reverie, "Give the Germans the new rifles first, and ask them to start a war in Europe, Britain and France will not sit idly by and watch Germany become bigger." But you can't beat it, so what should you do? I can only ask for help from other countries, and I think that the United States will definitely become their first choice for help, just as the US government has secretly provided supplies to Germany in recent years. ”

Andy finally understood, "We can take advantage of the time when Europe is in a mess, and take the opportunity to develop the power in Asia, and once Britain and France are defeated by Germany, the forces we operate in Asia will take the opportunity to seize the colonies of Britain and France in South Asia, just as the East India Company did hundreds of years ago." By the time Britain and France came back to us, the South Asian countries had already been firmly under our control, along with their economic lifelines. ”

"Yes, Andy, you finally understand the Chinese kid's plan, but I want to warn you first, the Chinese kid is very smart, and we think he may have a follow-up plan that he hasn't come up with." The brown-haired old man finally reminded Andy, but Andy, who had regained confidence at this time, didn't listen to these words at all, and was just secretly thinking about how to raise the first funds that Zhuo Fei needed.

With the analysis of the staff, Andy quickly made the decision to cooperate with Zhuo Fei, and through various channels, three days later, he sent the $500,000 that Zhuo Fei needed to the hotel where Zhuo Fei was staying. The $500,000 in 1938 was not a small amount, but Zhuo Fei just casually typed a receipt to the person sent by Andy to deliver the money, even if it was a reply to Andy.
