In Shanghai, Wu Da and his entourage finally arrived at this magic capital in the eyes of foreigners after a day of train rides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After coming out of the train station, Wu Da took the group directly to the house rented by the previous trustee.

On the second day of resisting Shanghai, Wu Da was ready to take the medicine given to him by Wang Lei.

What Wang Lei gave him was a white pill. In front of the mirror, Wu Da had been standing in front of the mirror for almost half an hour, and he looked at himself in the mirror over and over again, as if he wanted to remember what he looked like.

And his group of brothers stood next to him, looking at his hesitant look, and the mouse on the side spoke: "Big brother, if you are worried about the medicine, I will take the medicine first!" ”

Wu Da glared at him: "You serve!" What are you doing? A foreigner with a Guangxi dialect?! In the past few days since I left, you have to follow your fifth brother to learn foreign languages! Got it?! After Wu Da finished speaking, he looked around at the brothers around him: "Do you remember what I just told you?" ”

One of them nodded: "Remember, big brother!" After you take the medicine and go out, if someone asks about you, we will say that you went back to your hometown overnight! After 3 days, we will go to the Bund and pretend to find a job to meet you! ”

Wu Da nodded when he heard this: "Just remember it!" Remember that there is another important point, since I took the medicine, I am no longer Wu Da, nor Wu Chenghu, my future name will be Jim Rene, don't be wrong! "Jim, Latin, replaced. Rene, Latin, means regeneration.

Everyone said in unison: "Yes!" ”

Wu Da sighed and turned his gaze back to the mirror. He took a few deep breaths, then closed his eyes and threw the medicine into his mouth with all his might.

To be honest, this medicine has no taste, and there are no other symptoms except for a slight itch.

After a few minutes, the itch disappeared, but during this time he kept hearing the constant exclamations of his brothers around him. After the itching on his body was over, Wu Da slowly opened his eyes with a nervous mood, and through the mirror he saw an unfamiliar image, not as bad as he thought before, blonde hair and blue eyes, high nose bridge, although he had a few outlines before, but it was still different from his own safety.

The pill Wang Lei gave him was a new federal plastic surgery drug called genetic camouflage, which was the main product of the new federal beauty salon. Gene camouflage plastic surgery, as the name suggests, the only purpose of this drug is to camouflage genes, to achieve the purpose of micro-plastic surgery, hair dyeing, whitening, and the promotion given by beauty salons is that it is safe, non-irritating, and permanent.

However, Wang Lei's medicine to Wu Da only has a period of 1 month, although this medicine is widely used in the beauty field of the new federation, but some of the technology in it is more than a hundred years now, in order to completely add a self-destruct device that can only be dissolved by stomach acid, a month of the world, if the medicine is not taken, the self-destruction program in the medicine will automatically start as soon as the time comes, and the contents will become a pile of coke!

Seeing the change in his eldest brother, the mouse's voice trembled a little: "Big, big brother, your face is really ......"

Wu Da, no! Now it's Jim Rene glaring at the mouse: "What did you say!?" ”

The mouse immediately changed his words: "Oh! No, no, it's Mr. Rene! This medicine is truly amazing! ”

Jim nodded: "It's good to know!" I'll take your medicine first, and I'll give it to you when the time comes!" Okay, I won't say much nonsense, while I haven't thought about it now, there are not many people outside, so I'll leave first! Remember! What I said! Jim put on the hat he had prepared, grabbed the cane on the table, and went out with the suitcase.

Jim's rented house is in the civilian area of Shanghai, and the people who live here are all over the world, and no one cares about them, but it's hard to say if there is a foreigner. Fortunately, it is still not dawn, and there are few people outside. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was looking, Jim pushed the door and walked out quickly. Walking out into the street, he slowed down, carrying his bag and a cane, and walked slowly to the middle of the road, constantly looking around. It's like a foreigner who happens to pass through a civilian area and is curious about everything around him. In this way, he slowly left the civilian area and walked towards the bustling Shanghai.

Shanghai, since the middle of the 19th century, has experienced more than 100 years of prosperity and glory, and can be said to be the largest metropolis in Asia, with the world's major banks, insurance companies, etc. Before the fall of Shanghai, it was an important source of national income for the Republic of China and had the reputation of being a Chinese wallet.

Shanghai is also known as the magic city because it has a "magic nature" that other cities in the world do not have, and the root cause of this "magic nature" lies in the coexistence of "two different spaces" formed by the establishment of the concession in Shanghai. These "two different spaces", i.e., the concession and the county seat, are the result of the mutual penetration and conflict between each other, making Shanghai a "compatible" city that is unique in the world, and thus various peculiar phenomena can be summarized in general terms by the term "magic capital".

At this time, Shanghai was open to commercial ports, Chinese and foreign countries coexisted, and the five parties lived together, becoming a place of luxury and prosperity. Shanghai's architecture is born along the river, with a variety of buildings. It has a corridor building, with a simple brick and wood structure in form, a simple plan, and clear lines on the façade without other decorations. There are also European Renaissance and neoclassical buildings that represent Western culture. Looking at these people who don't understand the style, they deserve to be called the magic capital.

Jim walked slowly on the street, she sighed at the prosperity of Shanghai, but unfortunately this place is now the world of Japanese and foreigners, put aside superfluous thoughts, Jim went to a building in the Shanghai Public Concession according to the address given by Wang Lei, and wrote on the signboard of the building "China Branch of American Sbaole Pharmaceutical Import and Export Company".

When Jim arrived at the entrance of the building, a Chinese man in a suit immediately nodded and ran over, speaking in broken English: "This gentleman! I don't know what you're doing at S&L? We're not open yet, can you wait a minute? ”

Jim sighed slightly in his heart, this world is much better to use with white skin than yellow skin, if he is still the same as before, it is estimated that even if he wears such a strange face now, he will be driven out by them long ago.

These thoughts were only fleeting, and Jim put on an arrogant face and pulled out a golden card from his bag: "I'm coming to you General Manager Thomas!" ”

The first time he saw the gold card, the face of the Chinese in the suit changed, he has been working here for almost 3 years, and this card has only been seen once. This is the company's gold card, and it is said that the card is given by the company to important customers or partners. At the first time he looked at the gold card, the Chinese in the suit immediately bent down and made a gesture of please: "Sir!" Please come with me to the lounge and we will inform Mr. Thomas immediately! ”

In the VIP room, Jim took a sip of the coffee brought by the waiter, and then frowned deeply. To be honest, he is not used to the bitterness of coffee, he still prefers the bitterness of tea. Putting down the cup, he took out the gold card from his pocket and looked at it slowly, this card was given to him by Wang Lei, looking at the card, Jim fell into deep memory, he had been preparing for a month to come here, but he didn't expect Wang Lei, the mysterious director of the arsenal, to prepare more for him. Looking at this card, he thought of the plan that Wang Lei had told him before, as long as everything goes well, then it will be easier for them to integrate into the foreign society!

Just as Jim was in a daze with his gold card, a slightly tired voice remembered next to him: "Sir, can I see your gold card?" ”

The person who spoke was Thomas, who had stayed up until midnight for the affairs of the branch, and today he slept for less than 1 hour before he was called up, if he didn't know that the person who came had a gold card in his hand, he wouldn't even want to get up!

Jim finished his contemplation, but he didn't speak, he just handed the gold card in his hand to the person next to him.

Thomas took the gold card, and his face changed slightly when he saw the number on the corner of the gold card. He remembered the gold card sent out by the company, and this gold card was sent out by him a week ago, he handed the gold card back to Jim, and then said in a very calm tone: "This gentleman, can I know your name?" And what is your relationship with Director Wang? ”

Jim took back the gold card and said lightly, "Jim Rene, you can call me Jim." Mr. Wang Lei is my friend! When he found out that I was coming to Shanghai, he asked me to bring a message to Mr. Thomas! ”

"Is it streptomycin?" Thomas subconsciously clenched his fists, he brought streptomycin back to Shanghai for 5 days, after 5 days of experiments, they were surprised to find that this drug is very good at killing tuberculosis bacillus and plague bacillus, and even some beyond their expectations, and now they are conducting some other experiments. If nothing else, there will be no surprise in procurement, and he is now very worried about the change in the procurement of streptomycin.

Jim picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip lightly, after feeling the bitterness in his mouth, he raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Wang Lei wants me to tell you something,......" Jim said This deliberately paused for a moment, and then glanced at the people around him!

After being nervous for a while, Thomas immediately understood his consciousness, and he waved his hand back to the people around him and Jim and said, "Mr. Rene, you can go on!" ”

Jim nodded before continuing: "Mr. Wang Lei asked me to tell you that the price you negotiated before has changed, and Mr. Wang Lei wants the price of streptomycin to be changed to ...... per gram" Jim paused, and only after whetting Thomas's appetite did he continue: "Change to $3999 per gram, and he said that you can continue to write $40 per gram on your company's contract." But ......,"

"But what?" Thomas's breath was a little short, because he already saw the glittering gold in front of his eyes. According to Jim, one gram is $001, one kilogram is $10, one ton is $10,000, and this time ten tons of medicine is $100,000. And now, judging from the experimental situation of streptomycin, as long as there are no major problems in the next few experiments, the long-term, large-scale and stable cooperation between the company and Wang Lei has been a certainty. That's the money that's rolling, and Thomas couldn't help but swallow at the thought of this.

Thomas was in a hurry, but Jim was not in a hurry, he picked up the cup and drank half a cup of coffee slowly, before he said leisurely: "I need a few permanent resident cards in the United States!" ”

Thomas raised his eyebrows: "This is simple, I am familiar with some officials of the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service, it is very simple to apply for a permanent resident card, especially Mr. Rene is still a white ......"

Jim interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Mr. Thomas, I hope you can listen to me first, I am British, but for some special reason we can't show any identification!" ”

Thomas's face instantly became bitter: "This ......,"

Jim put down the cup and played with his cane: "I'm not a prisoner, I'm not a spy, I'm just being driven out of power in a struggle, this time I went to the United States just to find a chance to rise again!" And I just ask for 6 permanent resident cards. If Mr. Thomas is troublesome, then forget it, in fact, I think I wanted to talk to Mr. Wang Lei before asking him to change the price to $399. But since Mr. Thomas finds it troublesome, then I will take my leave! Jim said as he picked up the hat and the footbox on the table, and prepared to leave.

Thomas was anxious when he saw it, and he quickly reached out to stop Jim: "Mr. Rene, don't be busy yet!" I didn't say I wouldn't help you, it's just that if you don't have any ID right now, it might take me a while to prepare! ”

Jim pulled his hand away from Thomas: "Mr. Thomas! Then I'm waiting for your good news! With that, he prepared to go out.

"Mr. Rene! So how do I contact you after that? Thomas suddenly remembered and said hurriedly.

Jim stopped and said, "I just arrived in Shanghai today, I am going to rent a house to settle down temporarily, and I will contact you when I find a good location!" ”

When Thomas heard this, he said: "Mr. Rene, I have a vacant villa in the French Concession, if you don't dislike it, you can go to live with me, if the problem of the permanent resident card is solved, I can contact you as soon as possible!" ”

Hearing this, Jim turned around and clasped the hat in his hand to his chest, and bent down slightly: "Then thank you for your kindness!" Mr. Thomas, let me ask you a question, can you send a telegram in your house? I need to report to Mr. Wang about the current situation! ”

Thomas smiled slightly: "My villa is not good, where is the territory of the French!" But we can, we have a large commercial radio station, and Mr. Rene can use it to his heart's content! ”

Jim shook his head: "I understand Mr. Thomas's kindness, I am prepared for the radio, after all, contacting Mr. Wang needs to be secret, after all, you know their situation!" ”

Thomas patted his head: "You see my memory, then I will prepare a quiet room for Mr. Rene." Also, Mr. Rene, my name is Thomas Darrow, not Darrow Thomas! ”

Jim: "Okay, Mr. Thomas! ”

Thomas: "......" is to be continued.
