Chapter 28: Nightingale (2)
The handshake of Fan Xudong, Sun Xuewu, Daniel, Li Yunxia and Xiao Zhange now looks like a handshake, but it is actually not simple. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 More than 50 years later, in the very room they were in, an oil painting called "Dawn" brought the scene to life. At that time, the Huanghai Chemical Industry Research Institute had become a museum, and Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu both had a bronze statue standing at the door of the research institute, and the two people had become immortal legends like this research institute.
The partnership was formalized, and with the status of a partner, Xiao Zhange mentioned to Daniel about helping to buy machines and arms, and there was no psychological barrier. Xiao Zhange grabbed his shoulders with both hands and said very emotionally: "Daniel, we are now a family." Family, Familie - do you know what that means? ”
Daniel was not fooled, looked at him very vigilantly, and asked, "Shaw, let's say, what are your intentions?" ”
Next to him, Li Yunxia was holding a sip of tea in his mouth, and he couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, and a "poof" squirted out directly.
Xiao Zhange's face turned green, and he glared at Daniel dissatisfiedly and asked, "Attempt?" Am I so unbearable in your heart? ”
Li Yunxia, Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu are discussing the relocation of the factory. Compared with Xiao Zhange, Li Yunxia, who is more than ten years older than him, naturally looks more mature and stable, and what he says is naturally more convincing. Therefore, after the penicillin matter was finalized, Fan and Sun put aside Xiao Zhange and chatted with Li Yunxia.
Sun Xuewu smiled: "Xiao Xiao is very interesting." ”
Fan Xudong laughed: "It's a good young man." ”
Li Yunxia couldn't help laughing, put down the teacup, and whispered: "The foundation is good, but I still lack experience, and I am not stable enough." ”
Daniel looked at Xiao Zhange: "Xiao, you can't blame me, you have lost my trust since you invited me out of my clinic in a barbarian way." ”
"And you're still working with me?!" Xiao Zhange said viciously.
"Isn't there General Li, Mr. Fan, and Mr. Sun, I reluctantly persuaded myself to participate in this cooperation because of their face."
Over there, Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu laughed together when they heard this, and Fan Xudong said to Xiao Zhange: "Zhange, now I know that some people can't be offended?" Westerners attach great importance to the first impression, and if the first impression is not good, there will be a lot of fetters when dealing with it. Then, he said to Daniel, "Daniel, we are partners in everything we say now, and you have said that even if you don't trust War Song, you will believe us." If you can, please help him. ”
"Fan, do you know what he wants me to help you with?"
"Oh, what is that?"
"Machines and weapons, you know, these are in high demand in the world, and he gave me a total of 90,000 oceans, which also deducts my medical expenses, the medicines he bought from me, ......"
"So, it's because of money?"
"Yes."
Fan Xudong looked at Li Yunxia and asked, "Do you have a list of what machines and weapons you need?" ”
When Li Yunxia heard this, his little eyes flashed, and he asked, "Are you willing to support us?" ”
Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu glanced at each other and said, "Free funding, we don't have the ability yet, but I can lend you some for emergency relief." ”
When Xiao Zhange heard this, he let go of Daniel, walked in front of Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu, bowed to them solemnly, and said, "Thank you, thank you so much, we are willing to write an IOU." Let's use our shares in the pharmaceutical company as collateral. ”
Fan Xudong couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and Li Yunxia should have felt embarrassed, so he quickly picked up the teacup and covered his face with it.
Fan Xudong: "The matter of the pharmaceutical factory has not been skimmed yet, and I don't know if it can be successful, so you dare to mortgage the shares inside." What do you call it, empty glove white wolf? After speaking, he and Sun Xuewu glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Zhange also felt that his behavior was indeed shameless enough, but everything was for the sake of fighting devils, and this shamelessness did not seem to be unacceptable. He touched his nose, deliberately pretended to be serious, and said, "Director Fan, Dean Sun, why don't we make a bet - Daniel, if you are interested in this bet, you can also participate." ”
"I never gamble," Mr. Fan said.
Sun Xuewu: "I don't have time to play cards. ”
Daniel's answer was the most direct and the most devastating - "Shaw, I'm not going to fall for you." ”
"I'll go-you guys listen to me if it's intact or not, I bet that as long as we can be the first to industrialize penicillin, its profit will definitely not be less than 100 times-"
When Daniel heard this, he jumped straight up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, and exclaimed, "What did you say? My God! Please give him a thunderbolt to kill, it's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard when I've grown up—"
Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu also shook their heads with a smile, obviously not believing what Xiao Zhange said.
Xiao Zhange: "Just say if you dare to bet!" ”
Daniel: "Shaw, are you serious, not joking?" ”
"Of course."
"How to bet?"
"I lost, and I didn't want all the shares of the pharmaceutical company. If I win, Daniel, you have two choices, one is to give me the shares of the pharmaceutical factory, or you will give me the same amount of machinery and weapons. ”
Daniel thought about it seriously and whispered to himself: "If this bet is to be established, it is a prerequisite for the pharmaceutical company to be able to produce penicillin, so there is no possibility that I will be deceived-"
When Xiao Zhange heard this, his face turned green again, and he slammed his face in front of Daniel, and shouted: "Damn, Lao Tzu looks like a liar like this?!" ”
Daniel was startled, he quickly moved the chair back, and then looked at Xiao Zhange and said seriously: "No, you don't look like a liar, but like a robber." ”
Fan Xudong looked at Xiao Zhange and whispered to Sun Xuewu: "He looks serious and full of confidence. ”
Li Yunxia answered: "If I were Daniel, I would never bet with him." In the end, he must have won. ”
"Oh, you're so confident in him?" Sun Xuewu asked.
Li Yunxia smiled mysteriously and said, "When you know what he has done recently, you won't doubt him." ”
"So, you're also very optimistic about the penicillin project?"
"I am a soldier, as long as I can make my soldiers die less, even if it is a pipe dream, I will do it without hesitation!"
Li Yunxia said seriously, Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu couldn't help but be in awe when they heard it.
At Xiao Zhange's insistence, the bet between him and Daniel was finally written on paper, and Fan Xudong and Sun Xuewu were also invited to act as witnesses.
The matter of borrowing money was finally put on paper, and it was Xiao Zhange and Li Yunxia who signed it. In the loan contract, Fan Xudong, in the name of Wynn Alkali Company, agreed to lend Li Yunxia and Xiao Zhange 1 million silver dollars to pay for the machinery, equipment and weapons that Daniel might purchase from Europe. The borrower was not the 38th Division or the 29th Army, but Li Yunxia and Xiao Zhange -- the borrower had no opinion on this, and what some later military historians could not understand was what kind of mentality Fan Xudong and Su Xuewu had at that time to turn a blind eye to such a big mistake -- could it be that they had already secretly communicated with the Communist Party at that time?
