101 Reporting
Time was pressing, and he was leading people to ransack their hospital on the territory of the public concession...... At this time, Pu Su couldn't talk to him much. After telling him the firm's head and address, he patted him on the shoulder, ready to go to the door to take care of the loading.
Unexpectedly, Jonad came out again and said that his family is actually a pharmaceutical company, including medical devices. Many of the medicines in this hospital were actually imported through him. Seeing Pu Su's indifferent appearance, he also asked Pu Su to see if the drug packaging box was the sign of their family's Eagle Crown Firm.
Pu Su thought this person was quite interesting, and there was no hostility at all. Seeing that he was wounded in the shoulder, it was obvious that he should have been brave enough to lead the team to fight on the dock before, but once he got off the battlefield, he was a complete businessman. As an American, there is no ideological distinction at all, and this is the first time Pusu has come into contact with someone like Jonad.
So he casually said, not only medicines, but also firearms. After hearing this, Jonad blinked and asked, "Are you going to deal with those Japanese?" ”
"If it is against the Japanese, we Americans will be very happy to help, but we need to keep it secret......"
"I'll arrange for someone to contact you."
Pu Su dropped this sentence to him, and jumped into the truck with the team members who had finished loading, and quickly evacuated.
It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a robbery along the street today not to alarm the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, so Pu Su is also ready for a head-on firefight. It's just that when I returned along the road to pick up the supplies and team members, I obviously saw a sneaky patrol figure in the concession on the street corner, but I didn't encounter any obstruction.
However, when leaving the public concession area, Pu Su ordered the rear truck to fire thirty rounds of ammunition into the sky as a deterrent, warning the patrols behind not to try to follow them. Then the truck headed east, first drove to Huajie, and after a few circles, it entered the French Concession from Lujiabang.
Today is a full load. Even a large number of medicines were stacked very high in the carriage, and the team members could only lie on the medicine box. The main reason is that the medicine is protected by a wooden box, and the amount is not heavy, but it takes up a lot of volume.
Back at the mansion, they first mobilized people to unload the goods, Bai Mantong and Li Wenjuan came to check, especially Bai Mantong, who was very excited when she saw the X-ray machine and ventilator equipment, as well as the anesthesia equipment. Pu Su told her to pick what she had to use there, and the rest to be transported to the border area.
Bai Mantong nodded again and again, and took Li Wenjuan and them to count and logarithm, and register them by category. Most of them are commonly used medicines, especially penicillin, which was invented by the British, and a large number of discoveries have been made in the hospitals of the British Concession this time. These Western hospitals did not provide diagnosis and treatment to Chinese in the first place, and all the service objects were Westerners. Therefore, penicillin, which was not yet on the market in batches at that time, has been widely used in the concession.
It is no exaggeration to say that gold has a price, but in Shanghai in the early forties, penicillin was priceless. It is not an exaggeration that a penicillin can save a baby's life. And in the war, this new drug was very effective in controlling wound infections. It is possible to save the lives of a large number of soldiers.
Bai Mantong's clinic is now actually an internal medical unit, only facing the residents of the fortress and possible casualties. Therefore, only the medicine needs to be completed, and most of the drugs must be sent to the border area by Pusu. It's the same with the medical equipment, which will be sent back with the ship when the time comes. Historically, even if Gu Ji has sent a lot of drugs in the past, there are not as many categories and quantities as Pusu this time.
Almost all the commonly used and scarce medicines in the concession were wiped out. After that, in order to maintain its operation, the hospital in the public concession went to the public board of directors of the French Concession for help, allocated a batch of medicines, and urgently imported a batch from Jonader's family firm, which was the only way to get through this difficult time.
On the night of the operation, the team members added food as usual, but because there was no exchange of fire, they only rested for half a day in the morning the next day, and gathered as usual in the afternoon.
Pu Su and Alyosha convened the team leaders to summarize afterwards and found that things were going surprisingly smoothly. None of the Western doctors and nurses violently obstructed them, and even when they asked them where the cash and medicine were stored, some of them were hiding very secretly, and they obediently cooperated and handed them over. This is completely different from the treatment when Pu Su led the team to Huxi to collect it.
Later, they learned that these hospitals and clinics are covered by insurance, and individuals do not need to work hard for these goods, they just need to report to the insurance company and wait for the claim. (During the Republic of China, Shanghai's insurance industry can be said to be very developed, and now everyone has heard of such as AIA, such as life insurance, etc., and there are many insurance companies opened by Chinese businessmen who have not heard of it)
Westerners in the concession have long had the concept of insurance, so they are relatively calm when they encounter this kind of thing. Even in this night's operation, the team members did not even use knives and guns, and even used their fists and kicks roughly, at most, they began to push and shove when they broke in.
Therefore, the so-called "gangsters" and victims all succeeded in achieving zero casualties that night, everyone was harmonious, and even Pu Su made such a "friend" as Jonad.
The cigarette shops controlled by the Chinese landlords and the Green Gangsters in western Shanghai do not have this awareness. Usually too superstitious about their power and ferocity, once something happens, either resist or cheat, in this case it is a lot more suffering, and at the same time it also adds a lot of trouble to Pu Su. There are also a few people who don't deserve to die, but it's not really necessary at all.
After counting a number here, Li Wenjuan over there immediately reported it to the border district. Of course, the superiors talked about principles, but when they knew that Pu Su's goal was to make it clear that Western hospitals that did not diagnose and treat Chinese, they didn't say anything. Moreover, there were no casualties in the whole operation, and the results were so huge, and when the medicines and equipment that were extremely needed were obtained, some other details were directly and automatically ignored. Instead, he asked when he would be able to get the medicine out safely.
Pu Su's plan was to arrange for Cheng Hua and Tong Chuan to escort the boat back, and he needed the two of them to bring some comrades over. It is necessary to organize a group of professionals with a skill in Shanghai to stay by his side and cooperate with the work.
He needed not fighters, but intellectuals who were good at domestic operations, store management, import and export business, who knew English, as well as military doctors and nurses, as well as comrades who were familiar with breeding, planting (he knew too much about the border areas), and welding and cutting.
In addition, he needed a telegraph operator, the kind who was on duty day and night in front of the current radio station, with a bed next to the station. In view of the infiltration of the previous newspaper office, he only needed a literate female comrade, and Li Wenjuan would personally conduct the training at that time.
The newspaper work is so important, and the core secrets that he has access to are far more than Lao Ren and Alyosha. In fact, even if Chenghua and Tong Chuan arrived in Shanghai, the closest to the core was Li Wenjuan except for Pu Su himself.
And Li Wenjuan has too many things to be responsible for in the future, and she often needs to run outside. Therefore, except for the special telegram sent by her personally, in the future, the newspaper office here needs a full-time newspaper on duty day and night. It's just that Pu Su has already imagined that after she comes, her range of activities cannot exceed the fortress area.
No way, this is for everyone's good. When it comes to newspaper affairs, once something happens, it is equivalent to falling to the bottom, and it must not be taken lightly. Now Li Wenjuan is strictly protected by Bai Russia and Tong Chuan when she goes in and out, which is not only to protect her, but also to restrain her. And she herself knows this very well, and her personal safety has long been more than her own business.
On the airwaves, Pusu also briefly introduced his next step. He was ready to build a structure in Shanghai and the suburbs that would initially allow not only self-sufficiency, but also blood transfusion to the border districts. It is not only to feed the war with war, but also to feed the war with business and to feed the war with labor.
If you don't have it, you will make it yourself, and if you can't make it, you will rob it.
Rice, as well as other necessities of daily life, can be obtained through trade. It doesn't take a few trucks to go out and grab rice and white noodles, right? How many meals are enough for so many people to eat when they are transported to the border area?
If it is through trade, the shipper can be notified at any time where the grain will be transported for delivery, and it would be good for the border area to send people to a suitable place to unload the grain directly, thus avoiding the cost of transshipment from Shanghai and the danger on the way.
In addition, he reported that there would be a batch of tobacco soil with the medicine back. He was going to allocate a small batch of the seized tobacco to the border area, which could be used as hard currency at that time. When many comrades go out, they carry a little bit of this with them as bribes and working capital, and the utility is no worse than that of gold and the ocean, and it is even more popular.
After turning off the radio, Pu Su asked about Li Wenjuan's chamber of commerce again. She has an excellent business talent, and after a period of isolation, she is now devoted to her work and has a huge enthusiasm for her work, which is almost selfless.
The middle section of Xiafei Road, a prime location in the French Concession, won almost ninety percent in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. The remaining Yicheng is also famous for several borscht restaurants and bakeries. She did not touch these commercial facilities that maintain people's livelihood. If the food industry takes over and the operators and chefs are changed, those delicacies will lose their souls, and I am afraid that other people in the concession will be aware and dissatisfied.
In addition, at the behest of Pu Su, she established a national capital firm, called "Tongyang Commercial Bank". This is a shell trading house that sells dog meat under the guise of a sheep's head, and it is only a nominal cooperation with the "Russian Chamber of Commerce". Otherwise, it is really unreasonable for a Chinese woman to take care of all the transactions done in the name of the Russian Chamber of Commerce.
For those merchants who are not in the fortress system, they still act according to democratic business rules, publish statements once a quarter, disclose their accounts to shareholders, and pay dividends once every six months. There were also Belarusian businessmen who did not accept it, and they allowed the full withdrawal of shares, and Alyosha couldn't ask for it, which just allowed Li Wenjuan's "foreign trading house" to intervene justifiably.
These businessmen will also become the key targets of Alyosha and Lao Ren in the future, and it is often this kind of person who is most worried. And Lao Ren will not let them leave the French Concession, they will live under the close surveillance of Bao Inquire all day long, as the head of the political department, Lao Ren has a reason to arrange this kind of task.
It is worth mentioning that Lao Ren now seems to be more favored in front of his French boss than Gu Ji at that time. If it weren't for the French's hometown taking care of themselves, Lao Ren's promotion would have been inevitable. It's just that at present, his position can only be like this. But his trust in the board of directors has reached a point where it is extraordinary.
Because before several actions, Lao Ren reported to his superiors. and implied to the superiors that it was precisely because of their own connections that the "bandits" avoided the French Concession and arranged their actions in the Public Concession. Under the investigation of the boss, it was found that several major events did occur in Shanghai on the same night, Lao Ren made a special arrangement of the intersection, especially the intersection with the public concession and the Chinese border, and sent armed guards. This discovery established the boss's trust in Lao Ren.
The management of the board of directors also knew that if they asked Lao Ren's sources, they would definitely not be able to ask anything. These Chinese have their own informants underneath them, and they have their own methods. Otherwise, there would have been no need for them to recruit Chinese patrols in the first place.
At the beginning, Annan patrol was not fully adopted, and the Chinese capture was recruited precisely because of the strategy of razing and razing, and it is obvious that Lao Ren perfectly implemented their original intention. Now, they just have to look at the buzz of the neighboring British and Americans, and it didn't happen to them anyway.
So Lao Ren is now truly exquisite. The French were satisfied with him and thought that he had done his best. The military commanders of the Nationalist Government were satisfied with him, believing that he was inferior and did not dare to forget the worries of the country, and that he always cared about the nation, tried his courage, and provided convenience for them.
In fact, he has always been the closest person to the agents around him, and he has been doing things. Successively, Gu Ji and Pu Su both trusted him, and he himself was full of inclination to this side. There is no other reason, without Gu Ji he would not be today, and without Pu Su he would not be today. And his best brothers and sisters, the Wang family sisters and Lao Hong, have all embarked on this road, so where would he think about it, he has long regarded himself as one of them.
It's just that Gu Ji hasn't absorbed him since he took into account other factors.
The transfer of the vessel took place three days later. Piloted by the Belarusian sailors who had shuttled several times, Cheng Hua and Tong Chuan followed the ship and were responsible for bringing back the personnel sent back to the border area.
He needs workers here, although Shanghai is the largest industrial gathering place in the country, but where do he dare to find local workers? The Belarusian players also need to train and rest in normal times, and they cannot be used as labor for a long time. The kind of cutting and welding work that used to take up a lot of time. As long as he is supplemented with ten professional workers, his future renovation of the community and the fortress will be more efficient, and the duke's design will be better realized.
