When Bai Fei heard that Mei Yuehai was back, he was overjoyed and immediately took the telegram and read it.

After reading the telegram, Bai Fei said happily: "Great, Brother Shuyang, you go and prepare a few cars, call Wang Weiguo, and let's go to pick up the airport together." ”

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Bai Fei saw Mei Yuehai, who had just gotten off the plane, he didn't come alone, and there were several foreign devils behind him.

Bai Fei cordially greeted Mei Yuehai, and Mei Yuehai said: "General Bai, fortunately, I don't disgrace my life, everything is almost done." ”

Bai Fei said hello excitedly.

"Let me introduce..."Mei Yuehai said, pointing to the forty-year-old foreign devil behind him, "This is Mr. Edmund ****, an American, and these people behind him are his entourage." My husband helped us a lot, and some of the equipment we bought this time was all bought from him. ”

Bai Fei understood as soon as he heard it, and immediately shook hands with him, and said in English at the same time: "Mr. ****, thank you for your help..."

Who knew that before the words were finished, the American **** shook his head and said: "No, no, no, this is not a help, in the words of you Chinese, I am unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, you ordered so much equipment, when I was in the United States, Mr. Mei only paid part of the money, I came this time to collect money..."

It is spoken in Chinese, although the accent is a little strange, but it is fluent and the meaning is very clear.

Bai Fei scolded in his heart, this dead foreign devil, why can't he even hear the kind words, for fear that he won't give it to you, he will withdraw the money as soon as he comes up.

Mei Yuehai's face was also a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Bai Fei said again: "Mr. ****'s Chinese words are so good, have you been to China before?" ”

Said: "I used to set up a trading company in Shanghai, if it wasn't for the damn Japanese to start the war, I would still be enjoying the world of flowers in Shiliyangchang..."

Well, it's still a China expert.

Bai Fei pouted and said, "Mr. ****, don't worry, the money is ready, and it will be paid to you in full later." Let's go, let's go back to the city first..."

So saying, the group got into the car.

Because Bai Fei was disgusted with the face of a capitalist ****, he did not invite him to the same car, but sat in one with Mei Yuehai, and **** and others were arranged in another car.

On the way, Mei Yuehai talked to Bai Fei about the trip to the United States, and finally said: "I have applied for a patent for penicillin in the United States and Europe, and successfully obtained the patent right, but because of the limited funds in terms of equipment, I ran a lot of trading companies, and they heard that they wanted to pay on credit, and considering that China was at war, they refused to agree to the transaction. In addition, in the United States, Europe, and Nanyang, I have mobilized a lot of educated Chinese patriotic youths through connections and speeches everywhere, most of them have a skill, and some of them are even highly educated, and are experts in machinery, medicine, navigation, etc., and are slowly gathering in Hong Kong..."

Bai Fei sighed: "It's really hard for you this time, I can imagine how you broke your leg and said rotten mouth in the United States..."

Mei Yuehai smiled: "It's nothing, as long as you can do something meaningful for the motherland, no matter how hard it is, it's worth it, but... The total value of the goods ordered this time is about 3 million US dollars, and when mobilizing those patriotic young people to return to China to support, I also promised them a high salary, as you said, which will cost a lot of money..."

Bai Fei said with a smile: "Brother Mei doesn't have to worry about money, I'll tell you the truth, I've gotten 45 tons of gold through some channels..."

"45 tons?" Mei Yuehai was immediately stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he was surprised: "According to the current exchange rate of gold to the US dollar, it is more than 100 million US dollars, oh my God..."

Mei Yuehai's shocked mouth couldn't close together, and said: "I've been worried about money all the way, and now that I hear you say this, this big stone in my heart has finally landed." ”

Bai Fei said: "I plan to use 50 million US dollars for development, and the rest for emergency purposes." ”

Mei Yuehai said excitedly: "Enough, enough, when penicillin is produced in large quantities and goes on the market, the funds will be endless... Oh my God, it's like a dream. ”

Bai Fei smiled and didn't speak.

Mei Yuehai suddenly said again: "By the way, where do you plan to build the factory?" ”

When he asked him like this, Bai Fei really didn't have an accurate score in his heart for a while, he frowned and thought for a while: "If you want to build it, it will be built in a city near the sea, because I plan to wait for penicillin to be produced, in addition to supplying the domestic market, I will also sell a large number of foreign countries to make profits, so the transportation must be convenient." But now the Japanese have invaded most of the southeast coast, well..."

Bai Fei also has a layer of meaning that is not indicated, that is, once a fixed location is chosen, then this place must be firmly nested in his own hands, and some weapons will be developed in the later stage, if it is built in the mainland, it will be easily eaten and wiped out, and then ten years of hard work will be lost, which is not what he wants.

Mei Yuehai proposed: "Why don't you build it in Guangzhou?" ”

Bai Fei shook his head and said: "Now the Japanese offensive intentions are obvious, and Guangzhou, as a major foreign port, will definitely be the target of their future attacks. ”

Mei Yuehai said again: "It's better to build it in Hong Kong, this is a place for the British, and I don't think the Japanese will dare to mess around." ”

On June 9, 1898, the incompetent Qing government was forced by the British to sign the Treaty of the New Territories, forcibly leasing the area north of Boundary Street on the Kowloon Peninsula and south of the Shenzhen River, as well as more than 200 large and small islands, for a period of 99 years (ending on June 30, 1997).

Bai Fei said with a smile: "The British are also soft eggs, although the Japanese dare not touch the British territory now, but in a few years, when Europe is in a mess, it is also a matter of one sentence for the Japanese to attack Hong Kong, and the British will definitely not be in the mood to care about Hong Kong when they are too busy to take care of themselves... Well, this place isn't proper either..."

Mei Yuehai was shocked and said: "You mean that Europe will fight?" ”

Bai Fei was stunned for a moment, knowing that he was a little speechless, so he simply explained: "Since Hitler came to power, Germany has been actively preparing for war and expanding its army in the past few years, and it has been ready to move in the past few years. ”

As soon as Mei Yuehai heard this, a worried look appeared on her face.

Bai Fei thought he was worried about his family in the United States, and said: "No matter how fierce the war is in Europe, the war will not spread to the United States, on the contrary, the Yankees will use the war to do business everywhere and make a fortune." ”

Bai Fei said: "However, we must also step up trade, and strive to fully purchase the materials and equipment we need before the war breaks out in Europe, otherwise once the war starts, not only will the transportation be blocked, but the price of materials will also rise." ”
