Chapter 17: Betrayal

Zhuo Fei rushed to Germany and did not enter the city of Berlin at the first time, but had a secret meeting with Hansen in a country house belonging to the Hansen family on the outskirts of Berlin. The smooth launch of penicillin and the massive profits obtained made Hansen's family begin to show favor to the family's abandoned son, especially after learning that Hansen had been given the opportunity to meet with the FΓΌhrer, and the family members fully supported Hansen.

Holding the delicate baroque-style gilded coffee cup in front of him, Zhuo Fei subconsciously rubbed his fingers against the family emblem engraved on the cup. Hansen said that the coffee cup was a trophy of the Franco-Prussian War, and that the extravagant workmanship seemed to be showing off its extraordinary background to the world.

Glancing at his watch, five minutes had passed, and Hansen had not yet appeared. Zhuo Fei knew that Hansen had become a little wary of him, perhaps because Hansen's family was afraid that he would be too powerful and form a situation where he could not be defeated. Thinking of this, he chuckled playfully, raised his head and drank the mellow, strong, and tempting coffee in his hand.

People always change, when Hansen was arranged to return to Germany to carry out the penicillin plan, Zhuo Fei had already prepared that Hansen would betray him, but fortunately, Zhuo Fei did not know all his plans to Hansen. It is precisely because of this concern that Zhuo Fei will attract Andy into his plan when he is stranded in New York, in Zhuo Fei's opinion, a guy like Andy who only focuses on interests will be more reliable than a person like Hansen who shoulders the family mission.

Zhuo Fei sat quietly, and after about half an hour, Han Sen, who was in a hurry, came in from outside the hall and glanced at the young man who was following Han Sen, Zhuo Fei did not take the initiative to speak. Hansen's face was obviously a little bad, and before he could speak, the young man who followed Hansen in hurriedly said, "Hansen, is this the boss you are talking about?" You're trying to trick us, are you? Would such an Asian brat be your boss? ”

The young man's tone sounded distinctly provocative, and in Europe, where white interests were paramount, Germans of Aryan origin could not escape their contempt for Asians. Zhuo Fei still didn't speak, just looked at Hansen with an expressionless face, he was waiting for Hansen to tell him the reason. The atmosphere in the hall seemed to be a little weird, Hansen coughed lightly, first glared at the young man, and then smiled at Zhuo Fei, "Zhuo, this is my cousin Roth, who has just graduated from the Berlin Military Academy. ”

Hansen just lightly introduced the identity of this young man to Hansen, but turned a blind eye to Roth's obviously provocative words just now, which made Zhuo Fei frown secretly, it seemed that his hunch was completely correct. With a move in his heart, Zhuo Fei immediately used the friend or foe identification skill he had used on Andy to Hansen, only to see a yellow halo on Hansen's body, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but sigh lightly, it seems that Hansen is really breaking with himself for the sake of the family.

When he first obtained the status recognition skill, Zhuo Fei had already set it according to the skill prompts, and the green halo on his body was his own person, the yellow one was neutral, and the red one was definitely the enemy. After Zhuo Fei obtained this skill, he secretly used it on everyone on the ship at the time, and Han Sen was a proper green at that time, but now it has become a neutral yellow. "Hansen, you let him out first, I have something to talk to you privately, it won't take too much time." Now that he has seen Hansen's intentions, Zhuo Fei has no intention of wasting time with Hansen again, he has more important things to do.

Zhuo Fei spoke Chinese, and Roth, who followed into the hall, could not understand Chinese at all, but for the sake of safety, Zhuo Fei still asked Hansen to kick Roth out of the hall. "Boss, I'm sorry." Hansen is a smart person, he knows that Zhuo Fei is also a smart person, just now Roth and his own performance, Hansen believes that Zhuo Fei has been able to see some suspicions, after Roth reluctantly went out, Hansen has no intention of continuing to hide it.

"No, Hansen, you don't have to say sorry to me." Zhuo Fei suddenly laughed, stretched out a finger and shook it at the guilt-filled Hansen. "If I were to face pressure from the whole family, I would probably make a choice like yours, after all, sometimes, we have to make some choices that we don't want to make. Do you remember what I said when I was putting you on a ship in New York? I said that we are not an employment relationship, we are collaborators, so you don't need to say sorry to me. ”

Zhuo Fei's words made Hansen even more sad, without Zhuo Fei, there would be no detailed information about penicillin in his hands, but the whole family forced himself to break with Zhuo Fei, not counting penicillin, he still owes Zhuo Fei a life. Xu saw Hansen's inner struggle, Zhuo Fei took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to Hansen, "Hansen, this is a bit unlike you, the Hansen I know will not be as sentimental as you are now." If you have a good goal, you should strive for it, and besides, we only have a cooperative relationship, and it is normal to change the partner in the business field. ”

The more Zhuo Fei said this, the more the guilt in Hansen's heart became stronger, these days, facing the pressure of the people in the family has already made it difficult for Hansen to deal with. originally thought that he would be scolded by Zhuo Fei, but what Hansen never expected was that Zhuo Fei not only did not scold himself, but looked calm to himself, according to Hansen's understanding of Zhuo Fei, Hansen knew that Zhuo Fei was really angry and disappointed with himself this time.

But things are already like this, what can I do, is it possible that I will cut off the relationship with the family now and continue to cooperate with Zhuo Fei? Han Sen's inner struggle did not escape Zhuo Fei's eyes, and he sighed softly, Zhuo Fei helped Han Sen light the cigarette with a lighter, "Han Sen, this is the case with penicillin, but I can't take out that information in vain, your family has to give me some compensation, otherwise this matter will not be justified." ”

Zhuo Fei's initiative made Han Sen unable to hold on any longer, and ran out of the hall under the pretext of not being long before two old men came in from outside. The two old men who came were both members of the Hansen family. may have thought that Zhuo Fei had already been decided, and the words of the two old men who claimed to be Uncle Hansen showed a contempt for Zhuo Fei, and before Zhuo Fei could respond, they had already shown a contract they had prepared and handed it to Zhuo Fei.

Zhuo Fei didn't get angry because of the other party's attitude, at this time, it was in someone else's territory, Zhuo Fei knew that even if he made a fuss here, he probably couldn't change anything. After receiving the contract handed by the other party, Zhuo Fei's face was still the same understatement on his face, and he couldn't help but order the two old men sitting opposite him to look at each other secretly. The content of the contract revealed by the other party is actually very simple, which roughly means that Zhuo Fei voluntarily transferred the information of penicillin to Hansen's family, but fortunately, the people in Hansen's family still have some face, and gave Zhuo Fei a transfer price of 2 million German marks in the contract.

2 million Deutsche marks may be a lot of money in China, but in Europe, especially after penicillin has set off a worldwide frenzy, this amount of money is a bit of a bully. Zhuo Fei smiled, pushed the contract back to the two old men and counted the money, and said with a smile, "Two gentlemen, penicillin has been able to be mass-produced, and I don't think you should know its value, do you think you can have it for only 2 million marks?" ”

Zhuo Fei's words sounded a little provocative, and without waiting for the other party to react, Zhuo Fei continued, "Both, for the sake of my relationship with Hansen, I am willing to transfer penicillin to you, but this price is not good." Zhuo Fei reached out and tapped his finger on the contract on the table, "I want 10 million Deutsche marks, and I need a chance to meet with Mr. Krupp, I think Krupp may want an arms order." ”

Zhuo Fei's price of 10 million Deutsche marks made the two old men's eyebrows jump wildly, and before Zhuo Fei arrived, the family had already discussed how to deal with it. As long as you have eyes, you won't see the glory of penicillin, and the family forced Hansen to break with Zhuo Fei, but also wanted to use penicillin to regain the opportunity and capital to enter the upper circle. It was nothing to help Zhuo Fei and Krupp meet, but the transfer price of 10 million German marks demanded by Zhuo Fei made Hansen's family discuss it for a while, and finally it was at Hansen's strong request that it was agreed to Zhuo Fei's two requests.

Traveled thousands of miles to Germany, and did not see Hansen coming to pick him up on the dock, Zhuo Fei's heart was already prepared, but Hefman and the others were not so prepared. When Zhuo Fei walked out of the villa with the signed contract and check, Hefman, who was waiting outside the villa, was arguing fiercely with Hansen. "Forget it, Huffman, let's go, Hansen will naturally have a reason for doing this, even if I can't continue to cooperate with him, I don't want to be an enemy with him."

Zhuo Fei had already said this, and the Hefmans, who were originally unrelenting, could only glare at Hansen hatefully, and then followed Zhuo Fei to drive away. "Boss, Hansen shouldn't have done this, without you, boss, he might have been killed by the bandits, this damn Junker traitor." Hefman got into the car and still shouted unrelentingly, Hansen was rescued by Zhuo Fei from the bandits' den, Hefman had heard Hansen say it with his own ears as early as when he was in Nanjing, so Hefman was so angry.

"Huffman, there is an old Chinese saying that everyone has his own ambitions. The road under his feet is his own choice, I hope Hansen will not regret his choice today in the future, from today onwards, Hansen and we have nothing to do with it. He said that he didn't care, but Hansen's betrayal still made Zhuo Fei a little difficult to accept, and also made Zhuo Fei secretly decide to recruit more Chinese around him in the future, and the big-nosed foreigner was too unreliable.
