The First Volume The Empty Spirit Chapter One: Major Medicines

  Why is it always so busy, Wang Yaizu originally wanted to take a good rest, but the annoying things came again. In fact, it's very simple to make oneself relaxed, that is, put down some things, but putting down some things means losing some benefits and other things, Wang Yaizu is a selfish person, so he can't put them down.

  Shi An Guo made a final concession to Wang Yao Zu, which was not giving him a specific time limit, and at the same time gave Wang Yao Zu a lot of leeway. In dealing with this aspect, Shi An Guo has always only cared about the result, not the process. Wang Yao Zu also had some time to prepare, and under insufficient preparation, Wang Yao Zu would absolutely not go see foreigners or his superiors.

  Running into a stockholder who doesn't even get along with his superior, Wang Yaowu can only admit that he's out of luck. At the same time, Wang Yaowu feels very conflicted and thinks that this isn't so bad after all - he won't have to go out of his way to curry favor with his direct supervisor, and in the struggle, it definitely won't be him who falls down, with Shi Ankang taking the hit above. All Wang Yaowu needs to do is wait for an opportunity to muddy the waters and fish in troubled waters.

  Wang Ya-zu picked up the phone to solve his own private problem, but then hung it up again. At this time, Wang Ya-zu was really timid, and after hanging up the phone, he picked it up again, only to hang it up immediately. Finally, on the third pick-up of the phone, Wang Ya-zu dialed the number and had the person on the other end call Dai Mei over. Wang Ya-zu had already sent someone to investigate, asking where Dai Mei usually lived, worked, and where she could be reached by phone.

  "Is that Sister Mei?... I'm Wang Yaoyu..." Wang Yaoyu said this, but for a moment he couldn't continue speaking. Wang Yaoyu felt very wronged, but since things had turned out like this, who else could he go to for justice?

  "Yaozu... what do you want from me? If it's nothing, I'm going to bed. I still have to go to work at the nightclub tonight!" After a few days of calmness, Dai Mei's resentment had decreased a lot.

  "You don't have to work tonight. I'll come find you. Come to my place and let's have a meal together, I'll get Wu Ma to cook some hometown dishes, it's been a long time since you've had hometown food!" Fujian cuisine is rare in Shanghai, and not well-known nationwide either, if you want to eat hometown food, you have to make it yourself.

  "Not going, I'm busy tonight. There's a big boss to accompany me dancing." This was Daimi's reply, and Wang Yaowu heard it and grasped the phone tightly in his hand.

  "Mei, don't force me, okay?! My parents aren't something I can choose. Now, I just hope you can have a hometown meal with me, I really don't want to invite you in any other way!" Wang Yaowu tried to negotiate in a gentle tone, but still couldn't forget the small threat.

  "Is that so? It seems our young master is getting more and more formidable. But I really don't have time tonight, there are too many people on Shanghai Beach who you can't afford to offend, and I'm just a small dancer." Dai Mei still didn't agree with Wang Ya Zu, from being a rural servant girl to becoming a dancer on Shanghai Beach, the grievances and hatred were just too much.

  "Mei Jie, let's each take a step back. I won't force you to come to my house for dinner today, but tomorrow I will definitely go pick you up. It's just a meal, okay?" Wang Ya Zu had already retreated to the last resort, if Dai Mei still didn't agree, then Wang Ya Zu would have no choice but to use force. Some things are unforgettable, and since they're unforgettable, then it doesn't matter what means are used.

  "Alright then! Tomorrow night, you come pick me up!" That was Dai Mei's final response, with a tone of resentment and helplessness. But in any case, Wang Yaozu had finally achieved his goal. He let out a sigh of relief as he hung up the phone.

  Wang Yaozu hung up the phone and immediately felt that many pairs of eyes were staring at him. It was only then that Wang Yaozu deeply felt that he had made a mistake. He was making the call in the office, which meant that many people had become curious about the purpose of his call! Wang Yaozu absolutely wasn't leaking insider information or colluding with the enemy party. But since Wang Yaozu spoke to the person on the phone in such a tone, there must be a reason for it, and it's entirely possible that it was one of Wang Yaozu's weaknesses.

  "Old music. I'll go out for a bit. Take care of some things." Wang Ya Zu naturally couldn't explain in this situation. He could only confuse the crowd's sight and hearing by going out directly. What Wang Ya Zu is doing now is really taking care of something.

  Shi An'guo had given Wang Ya'zu certain privileges, and Wang Ya'zu naturally asked Ba Ye to come forward to purchase large quantities of controlled goods and contraband. With Shi An'guo's support, even if the Public Security Command's people investigated, whether it was the Green Gang or the Investigation Department, the Public Security Command would not be able to do anything to Ba Ye and Wang Ya'zu. This time, Wang Ya'zu went out to find Ba Ye and ask about the situation with purchasing materials, so that he could make preparations if there were any difficulties.

  Seamless steel pipes are a necessary material for making cannons and are almost contraband, subject to strict control. The war has been going on for several months, and various factories have been busy supporting the front line, making it almost impossible to obtain seamless steel pipes directly from large iron and steel plants.

  It will make things more troublesome and lead to unnecessary complications. Therefore, Ba Ye can only be

  In the Shanghai Bund, apart from the Da Di Steel Factory, there were many small workshops that processed goods. If they couldn't get finished seamless steel pipes, they would buy semi-finished products that met specifications and then have them further processed by these small workshops. As long as there was money to be made, these small workshops wouldn't ask too many questions and wouldn't speak out of turn.

  —

  Sparks flying everywhere, the roar of machinery, workers in the workshop are racing against time to process seamless steel pipes day and night. The price offered by Boss Wang is quite high, and he has even brought in three skilled masters, promising that as long as they can finish ahead of schedule while ensuring quality, Boss Wang will give each person a red envelope. Earning this once is equivalent to earning half a year's worth, so it's only natural that they're working desperately to finish the job.

  On the side, two apprentices were inspecting seamless steel pipes under the supervision of one of Ba Ye's trusted men. The Northeast Army was a major client, and in order to ensure a pleasant cooperation next time, Ba Ye absolutely did not want any qualified products to appear; otherwise, there would be no business to do next time. Wang Ya Zu had the same idea, but he wouldn't squat down personally to inspect because he didn't understand it, so he didn't pretend to know.

  "Yaozu, I know this type of seamless steel pipe is used for making cannons, but one time they need 300 of them. Does the Northeast Army want to manufacture 300 cannons at once? That's really too frightening." Eighth Master personally picked up a seamless steel pipe and looked at it again and again, imagining how terrifying these pipes would be when turned into cannons.

  "Old Eighth, things aren't that simple. Seamless steel pipes of this caliber can only be used to make small cannons. And even if we manage to manufacture them, the failure rate is too high. Only heaven knows how many small cannons will actually be produced - a success rate of one in ten would be impressive. Old Eighth, it seems like the seamless steel pipes are fine, but what about the Western medicine? Half of the materials opened up this time are Western medicine. If there's really no other way, I'll personally go and ask the French for them."

  The number of Western medicines manufactured in China is very small, and the vast majority rely on imports. Japanese medicine is a part of it, but more medicines must be directly imported from the United States and Europe. Among many Western medicines, those used for war treatment are all controlled goods, and hospitals and regular pharmacies have very little stock. The Northeast Army's demand this time is huge, and it is absolutely preparing to enter the pass.

  "Yaozu, don't worry about the medicine from abroad, in another month's time, I'll be able to get all the medicines on the list. Actually, in Shanghai, getting those medicines isn't a difficult task for me, Eight Master. Of course, it should be very difficult for others." Eight Master confidently made this guarantee to Wang Yaozu.

  "Wow, you're indeed the eighth master, really impressive. Let's change to a different location and discuss in detail. Eighth master, you also know that this transaction can't have any sloppiness. If there's an error, we'll lose our big client and they will definitely retaliate."

  If something goes wrong, General Zhang of the Northeast Army will have to kill Wang Yaoyu and Eighth Master, it's just a matter of one word. So Wang Yaoyu must know the detailed situation. Eighth Master thought for a moment, nodded immediately, now Wang Yaoyu is his partner in interest, at the same time Eighth Master is also considering for himself after washing his hands, this young man Wang Yaoyu will definitely make progress in the future, now selling some human feelings to Wang Yaoyu, it's good to talk in the future.

  Old Eighth nodded and led Wang Yaowu into the courtyard behind the workshop, which was where the owner of the workshop lived. In front were machines, and in back were bedrooms and kitchen. However, at this time the bedroom had been occupied by Wang Yaowu and Old Eighth, with four of the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang under Old Eighth's command standing guard outside.

  "Yaozu, you also know what kind of business I usually do? Previously, a foreigner came to me and asked me to kill another foreigner, who was his business partner, and wanted it to look like an accident. Everything went smoothly, and that foreigner happened to be in charge of purchasing medicine for several hospitals opened by foreigners in Shanghai. He saw that China was at war and had stocked up on a large quantity of goods. As soon as I contacted him, he agreed immediately. However, just recently someone had bought a large batch of medicine from him, so he could only sell me three-tenths of what we needed. He guaranteed that he would send a telegram to the headquarters in America right away, and the goods would arrive from America within a month."

  This is the channel of the Eighth Master. With this passage, the Eighth Master can get as many Western medicines as he wants without any problem. It's just that in the past, the Eighth Master was not very interested in Western medicine, and there were few big buyers, so the Eighth Master didn't want to open a pharmacy either. Taking orders for assassination is much easier than selling medicine. Smokeless Powder Volume 2 Chapter 1 ?? Large quantities of medicine
