Chapter 258: Huge Investment
Chu Lingyun has arrested so many Japanese agents, and the Japanese hate him to the core, if they know where their parents are, they will inevitably provoke their revenge.
Fortunately, the telegram was not sent by his parents, and the Japanese are now eyeing him, and the more his parents contact him, the higher the risk of exposure.
"Sulfonamides, Smith?"
After reading the content of the telegram, Chu Lingyun fell into deep thought, and when he saw that it was a telegram from the United States, Chu Lingyun thought that it was Smith.
Other Americans he didn't know and wouldn't send him telegrams for no reason.
The telegram was very short, telling him that the drug sulfonamide was in short supply, and that Smith wanted to borrow a sum of money from him, and when he made money, he would pay a high interest rate.
No matter what kind of medicine, the profit in China is very high, especially the medicine that can treat trauma, it can definitely make money.
He was a little unfamiliar with Sulfa Chu Lingyun, he was not a doctor in his previous life, and his understanding of drugs was limited to those commonly used by ordinary people, such as cold spirits, anti-inflammatory drugs, and so on.
It doesn't matter if he doesn't understand, someone just needs to understand.
After cleaning up, Chu Lingyun called Zhao Dong and took a few people straight to the hospital.
Jinling Hospital is a well-known public hospital in Nanjing, Chu Lingyun came here to inquire, and on the wall of the hospital, he saw the introduction of famous doctors in the hospital.
"Go to Dr. Hangliang's number."
Chu Lingyun saw Dr. Liang, Dr. Liang is the surgeon here, Chu Lingyun wanted to ask about sulfonamides, and his number was just right.
The registration fee is not high, and although the hospitals of this era do not have as many high-tech equipment as later generations, the whole structure is very similar to that of later generations.
After a while, Chu Lingyun led the two of them into the consultation room and saw Doctor Liang.
Dr. Liang looked like he was in his fifties, his hair was a little gray, he looked very kind, and he was wearing glasses, and when Chu Lingyun went in, he was looking down at the list, and he didn't raise his head until Chu Lingyun sat down.
"What's wrong with you?" Dr. Leung asked with a smile. _o_m
"Dr. Liang, I don't see a doctor, I want to ask you about a medicine called sulfonamide, I don't know if you know."
Chu Lingyun smiled slightly, this is also a Red Party, his servants are, someone has come to him and Lao Wu, and the possibility that he is a Red Party is extremely high.
Sitting and talking face-to-face with his comrades, without any pretense, Chu Lingyun's heart was a little excited.
"Sulfonamides, do you have this medicine?"
Dr. Liang's heart moved, he is a doctor, and naturally knows the value of sulfonamides.
As the only anti-inflammatory drug of this era, it is no exaggeration to say that sulfonamides are life-saving.
Before there was no sulfonamide, the only way to reduce inflammation was external alcohol and iodine wine, and once it was inflamed, it could only be carried by yourself.
If the physique is good, the minor injury is fine, but if the serious injury affects the physique, many people can't survive and eventually die.
The demand for sulfonamides in his hometown is very high, but this medicine is difficult to buy, and Dr. Liang only got two boxes with the help of his work, and all of them were sent back to his hometown.
"Not now, but there will be later, I don't know much about this medicine, can you introduce it to me?"
Chu Lingyun nodded, and Dr. Liang did not doubt his purpose, and slowly explained the effect of sulfonamides.
Someone explained, Chu Lingyun immediately understood the role of sulfonamides.
Sulfonamides and penicillin have similar efficacy, penicillin is also called penicillin, and in World War II in the future, the price of penicillin is comparable to gold, or even higher than gold.
Sulfonamides are not as effective as penicillin, but in the absence of other anti-inflammatory drugs, sulfonamides are invaluable.
Chu Lingyun is very clear about the role and value of this medicine in wartime, in the absence of penicillin, sulfonamide is penicillin in wartime, which is no cheaper than gold.
"I see, thank you, Dr. Leung.
Doctor Liang saw Chu Lingyun get up, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, your surname, where do you work, can you leave your contact information, and when there is sulfonamide in the future, you can notify me, our hospital also needs this medicine." ”
The young man in front of him looked like he had an extraordinary temperament, and he was accompanied by obvious bodyguards, I am afraid that he was not lying, and it was really possible to get this medicine.
If he could get a stable source of sulfonamides, even if it was more expensive, he would try his best to buy a batch.
The reason is simple, this medicine can save lives at critical moments.
。
"My surname is Chu, I work in the Military Intelligence Department, if you need it, I will contact you later. _o_m ”
Chu Lingyun glanced at him deeply, then turned around and left.
Military Intelligence Department, Dr. Liang sighed in his heart, he didn't expect this young man to be a spy.
Dr. Liang is Secretary Liang, and they don't have much to do with the Military Intelligence Department now, and the Military Intelligence Department is mainly external, unlike the Party Affairs Investigation Office, which is their old rival.
But after all, it is a secret agency, Secretary Liang regrets it a little, why do you want to ask these words, if you are targeted by the secret agency, it will be troublesome.
He has a special identity, once he is suspected of being in danger, he must evacuate even without any evidence, he must not have an accident, otherwise the impact on the underground organization in Nanjing will be too great.
Back at the Military Intelligence Office, Chu Lingyun immediately picked up the telegram that Smith had given him.
Smith asked for a $10,000 loan, which is a lot of money.
He does have a vision, the price of sulfonamides will increase several times after they are shipped to China, and when a full-scale war breaks out next year, the price of sulfonamides will rise wildly.
This business can be done.
However, Chu Lingyun didn't plan to just lend money to Smith, he had to be directly involved in this business, and he had to take the lion's share, but Smith was also very critical, through Smith, he could get the source of goods and transport them to China safely.
It is not easy for Chinese to do business directly in the United States, and it is easy for people to snatch goods, and until now, the United States has a notorious Chinese exclusion law.
"Call your captain."
Chu Lingyun called a small team member and asked him to call Chu Yuan.
Chu Lingyun is not going to do a small business, he doesn't have time, and it is impossible for him to go to the United States on purpose, so he must find someone who is absolutely trustworthy and reliable to help him.
Among his henchmen, Chu Yuan was the most loyal to him and listened to him the most.
Chu Yuan was the person he brought out, and he followed him as early as when he was in the army, unlike Loach and Shen Hanwen, who were later accepted by Chu Lingyun as a confidant.
Another point, Chu Yuan is very simple, strictly obeys his orders, and doesn't attach so much importance to money, so it is more reassuring for Chu Lingyun to leave this matter to him.
"Team leader, you're looking for me."
Chu Yuan soon came to Chu Lingyun's office, he was monitoring Zheng Guowei at the surveillance point just now, Zheng Guowei, the brother of the Zheng family, was the key, and it was possible to find a Japanese spy by staring at him.
"There is a very important matter, I need someone worthy of trust to help me, Chu Yuan, are you willing to help me do this?"
Chu Lingyun looked at him and asked slowly, Chu Yuan immediately stood up straight and replied loudly: "Team leader, even if you are instructed, go to the soup and fight the fire, and you will not give up."
"I don't have to go to the soup, I found a profitable business, and I need someone to help me go to the United States, you can help me go."
Chu Lingyun shook his head slightly, and Chu Yuan's eyes widened: "Ah, go to the United States?"
He thought it was an important mission, but he didn't expect it to be business, and he had to run so far to the United States.
"That's right, go to the United States, I'll give you an assistant, and you will go with you when the time comes."
Chu Lingyun nodded, this time it is considered for public and private use, but sulfonamides are very important, not only can they make money, but they can also save people, especially after the war, they can save a lot of people.
"Team leader, let someone else do it, you know, I'm staring at people here."
Chu Yuan had a bitter face, it was not that he was unwilling to help Chu Lingyun, but running to such a far place in the United States, it would take a long time to come and go, and the case was all delayed.
"If others can, I won't look for you, and the case on your side can be handed over to Zhang Acheng to be responsible, and when you come back this time, you won't need to go again in the future."
Chu Lingyun shook his head, the first trip to the United States is very important, and then Smith can be put in charge, but this time there must be his people.
"Okay, I'll go then."
Chu Yuan hesitated, and finally nodded heavily, the team leader let him do his private affairs, which was obviously a violation, but everything he did was given by the team leader, and without the team leader, there would be no him.
Now he is not the stunned young man he was at the beginning, and he understands that this kind of thing is very common.
"You go back and get ready, leave for Shanghai tomorrow, and then buy a ticket to the United States."
Chu Lingyun put his mind at ease, Chu Yuan was willing to go best, if it was handed over to the loach, the loach would definitely be willing, but the task on the loach's side was also very important.
"Yes.
。 ”
It's okay to go early, go early and return early, this time he won't go alone, the team leader will arrange for others, he is only responsible for helping the team leader run this trip.
"Wang Sheng, bring your uncle to me."
After Chu Yuan left, Chu Lingyun immediately called Wang Sheng, Chu Yuan was too straightforward and didn't understand business matters, Chu Lingyun was relieved to hand over the money to him, but business matters still need to be handled by more professional people.
Now he doesn't have so many available people on hand, so he can only let Liu Chengzhu make this trip.
As for the rickshaw company, it can be temporarily handed over to someone else to be responsible, and Liu Chengzhu helps him do sulfonamide business, and the benefits in the future will definitely be more than in the rickshaw company.
Wang Sheng came quickly, and after a while, he took Liu Chengzhu to the office.
Liu Chengzhu kept his head down, every time he came to the Military Intelligence Department, he was uncomfortable, this was a department with great power, and the police, who were very incredible, in front of these people, they didn't dare to gasp in front of these people.
"Liu Chengzhu, I have a business here that needs someone to help me, are you willing?"
Chu Lingyun got straight to the point and asked directly.
"Chief Chu, look at what you said, you can take a fancy to me, that's my creation, just give me orders."
Liu Chengzhu hurriedly responded, he didn't dare not listen to Chief Chu's words, let alone business, if he really asked him to do something illegal, he had to do it. _o_m
"Very good, I have someone I know in the United States, there is a very good business over there, I need you to negotiate for me, and bring the goods back."
Chu Lingyun explained a lot more to Liu Chengzhu than Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan was only responsible for sending money and securing goods, and Liu Chengzhu was responsible for everything in business.
Including negotiations with Smith.
Smith is a shrewd businessman, and this time Chu Lingyun wants to do the business himself, and Smith can only be his partner, not the leader.
In terms of shares, Chu Lingyun planned to give Smith a divide, if it weren't for the need for Smith, and the telegram he sent to himself, Yicheng would not have given him a share.
One percent is not much, in order to motivate Smith, he will give him a dividend growth incentive.
If the business achieves a certain level of profit and the profit is stable, he can be given a dividend of up to 30% at that time, but only 10% in the early stage, and if he gives too much in the early stage, it will not be easy to increase later.
Liu Chengzhu must grasp this point, Smith is very tactful, and he must not be allowed to lead the nose, and Liu Chengzhu has the right to find a new agent when necessary.
For such a business, Chu Lingyun doesn't have to be Smith.
It's really not possible to do it alone, it's just a little riskier, but as long as you can make money, I believe that a large number of Americans are willing to rely on it.
"Don't worry, I'll help you get it done."
After Liu Chengzhu listened, he immediately packed his ticket, going to the United States was nothing to him, he was even a little excited, this was his first time going to the United States.
"My people will go with me to protect your safety, and you should go to find a translator immediately, don't go to Jinling University, look for it somewhere else."
Chu Lingyun instructed, if he didn't know Sima Lin's situation, it was very likely that he would find his translator.
If your business is infiltrated by the Japanese, that's not good.
"Understood, I'll go."
Liu Chengzhu knew that the time was urgent, it was okay to go to the United States, there were many people in Nanjing who knew English, and it was really impossible to find one urgently in Shanghai.
The rickshaw company can be handed over to his deputy first, this company belongs to Chu Lingyun, he can help Chu Lingyun do more important things, and his future achievements are definitely better than being a manager.
Liu Chengzhu is not stupid, he is very clear about his positioning.
When he returned home from work in the evening, Chu Lingyun turned over his belongings in the dark compartment.
This time he went to the United States, he was going to use a lot of money, Smith only borrowed $10,000, but he had to prepare $150,000.
This is most of his belongings, and it is a bit risky to use so much money for the first time, but he can't help it.
Next year, the war will start, and it will take several months for the United States to come and go, plus there are still some relations in the United States, to buy supplies, etc., and it will take almost half a year to go back and forth.
I don't have so much time to prepare for Chu Lingyun, so I can only buy more goods at a time, and while the war has not yet started, the more I save, the better.
When he got home from work, Secretary Liang washed his face.
, and then sat in the study, with a book in front of him, but unfortunately he didn't read a word.
He was still thinking about the young man who went to the hospital during the day, and as a doctor, he knew better the importance of sulfonamides.
Young people have a supply of sulfonamides, which is a drug they are in dire need, and if they can establish a stable supply channel from him, it will be of great help to them in the future.
But the background of the young man's military intelligence made him hesitate.
The last thing they want is to deal with the secret services, which increases the risk of exposure, but sulfonamides are so important that he doesn't know how to choose. _o_m
"Go and send a meeting signal to Director Yang."
After a while, Secretary Liang called the guard Feng Ruoxi, that is, the Red Party disguised as a servant in his home, and asked him to send a meeting signal.
These two days are not the days when Director Yang comes to report to work, and he must inform him in advance if he wants to see Director Yang.
In the end, Secretary Liang decided to take the risk and try, if it was feasible, he could buy a steady stream of sulfonamides in the future, unlike now, even if he is a famous doctor, it is very difficult to get sulfonamides.
