Chapter 68: The Dispute Over Agency Rights (Three)

  When Li Nan was called by her boss to have dinner, her heart was also pounding rapidly, obviously she had feelings for this boss. In the hospital for more than a year, not only Li Nan, but many girls were infatuated with this elegant and sunny man.

  Qin Renguo smiled at Li Na, but he didn't notice that. From a young age, Qin Renguo had been instilled with the idea that for the sake of his family, he could sacrifice everything, including emotions. In his memory, if a woman's value could meet their family's satisfaction, no matter what kind of woman she was, it would be fine. Whether she was tall or short, fat or thin, none of these were worth worrying about. These days, there were few good-looking people in the big families, but ugly ones were everywhere.

  The nurses and doctors in the hospital were all staring at their boss, who had called out a nurse, and they quickly asked each other who this woman was. Li Nan, who had never been noticed before, suddenly became the focus of attention for the entire hospital, with some people feeling envious, jealous, and resentful. But there was nothing anyone could do about it now that Li Nan had this connection - who dared to bully her? That would be like asking for trouble. So Li Nan walked out amidst the murderous glares of some of the female nurses, even forgetting about inviting Nie SiSi and the others to lunch, her mind a complete mess.

  Qin Renguo came out and saw Wang Mingyu and Nie Sisi, saying: "Both of you, I've already brought him out. How about we go have a meal together?"

  "Ah......" Li Nan listened to Qin Rengu's words, looked at Nie Sisi and Wang Mingyu, and exclaimed in surprise. After calling out, she realized that it wasn't right, her secretly loved boss was still here, how could she lose her composure? She quietly glanced at Qin Rengu, seeing him smiling brightly at her, her face suddenly turned red.

  Niesi's face has turned red more often lately, and as soon as she sees Li Nan, she knows what's going on. Has this girl developed feelings for him? Looking at Qin Laoban's handsome appearance, it's no wonder that Niesi would fall for him. Qin Ren'guo is indeed good-looking, and his character seems to be okay too. In Niesi's heart, there was never a consideration of matching doors and houses, so this wasn't even within her scope of consideration.

  Niesi smiled and looked at Linan: "Ah, Linan, why are you blushing?", saying this made Linan's face even redder.

  Wang Mingyu looked at the large group of nurses and doctors behind Li Nan, and knew that Li Nan had become the center of attention. He said to disperse the crowd: "Alright, Qin brother, let's go out and find a place to eat."

  Qin Renguo smiled and said: "That's natural, we can't find it if we don't ask for it. There is a hotel not far from here, let's go there directly. They always leave some private rooms available, so we don't have to worry about not having a place."

  Wang Mingyu nodded and said, "Just eat something casually, we don't have so many taboos. Let's just eat together and chat. We came to Shanghai to see friends, but unfortunately, there was a bit of an accident, so I accompanied Miss Nie out for a stroll."

  Qin Renguo smiled and said: "Alright, let's walk and talk. What happened to your friend? Do you need my help?"

  Nie Sisi chimed in: "It's already happened, and if we keep talking about helping, it'll just get more and more troublesome! Hehe"

  Wang Mingyu looked at Nie Sisi and said to Qin Renguo, "Thank you for your kindness, Qin brother. This matter has been settled. My trip to Shanghai is over. Now my task is to protect our family's young lady Nie!"

  Li Nan watched as the others spoke, but it wasn't easy for the boss to interrupt. However, when Wang Mingyu said that, his carefree personality came out again, and he said: "You're still trying to be a guardian angel? Our Sisi has many people chasing after her!"

  Qin Renguo also smiled and said, "A beautiful and elegant lady like Niece is indeed a good match. If no one pursues her, it can only mean one thing."

  "What's going on?" Li Nan asked curiously.

  Wang Mingyu smiled and said: "Are all men's eyes blind?" After finishing, he exchanged a glance with Qin Rengu, and burst out laughing.

  Nie Sisi's face was thin, and she angrily hammered Wang Mingyu once, and quickly accelerated her pace to walk forward, mainly because of her red face, to avoid being too embarrassed. Li Nan also followed up quickly, and the two women had endless things to say, and soon they heard the front chattering and started talking again.

  Wang Mingyu said behind him: "Qin brother, how is the family business going now?"

  Qin Renguo heard Wang Mingyu ask this question and didn't know what it meant either. He said, "It seems peaceful on the surface, but in reality, there are hidden dangers lurking everywhere!"

  Wang Mingyu was taken aback. Such a big family crisis is inevitable, but Qin Renguos expression of this meaning so quickly, what does it mean? Not understanding, he asked: "What do you mean by that?"

  Qin Renguo asked back: "What does Brother Wang's family do?"

  Wang Mingyu said lightly, "It's also doing some small business, but not in Shanghai, in Zhejiang! To be honest, I'm still not very familiar with Shanghai." Wang Mingyu actually wanted to understand the Shanghai market through Qin Rengu. Although he decided to subcontract the Chinese agency rights of penicillin, he still needed to understand the other party's details. Originally, this matter was not under Wang Mingyu's jurisdiction, and he had already given the power to Jefferson and Wang Jie in the United States. However, Wang Jie was not suitable to show his face, otherwise it would be easy to reveal his trump card. It is estimated that Jefferson will come to China in a few days, because Wang Jie mentioned it when he left, but Wang Mingyu didn't pay attention at the time. He thought that the agency rights should not be given away, but after coming to Shanghai, he realized that the greater the benefit, the greater the risk, and only by finding strong allies to share the burden could he ensure long-term prosperity.

  Qin Renguo smiled and said: "Those who dare to challenge the Du family in Shanghai are rare!"

  "The ignorant are fearless!"

  Qin Renguo shook his head and said, "I think it's not just a dragon crossing the river!"

  Wang Mingyu looked at Qin Rengu with a deep gaze and said: "Thank you for your praise, Brother Qin."

  Qin Renguo didn't dwell on it, and continued, "Currently, Shanghai is a complex web. The medical industry was originally relatively balanced, but since the US-based Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical company developed penicillin two years ago, this balance has gradually been disrupted. Now, several of the most powerful families or individuals in Shanghai's pharmaceutical industry are openly vying for control, all for the right to be China's agent for penicillin. Although not many people know about this, everyone understands what getting this agency means. So even a big family like the Kongs is starting to stir. Our Qin family also wants to compete, but it seems our chances are slim."

  Wang Mingyu asked: "How can it be? Isn't the Qin family a big family in Shanghai? At least, they should be on an equal footing with the Du family!"

  Qin Renguo smiled and said, "Brother Wang, your words are incorrect. What I'm saying is not a secret, let me analyze it for you. Who is behind the Kong family? I think there's no need for me to say more about that. They represent the National Government, our strongest competitor is actually them, the Kong family. So once they get involved, our Qin family's hopes are slim. Next is the Du family, don't look at how they appear to be on an equal footing with us, but what's most despicable about the Du family is that they secretly colluded with the Japanese, this is a fact, but there's no evidence. Do you understand what I mean by saying this?"

  Wang Mingyu's face, which was originally warm and gentle as the spring breeze, suddenly turned cold. He could tolerate anything, but he couldn't tolerate colluding with the Japanese. He knew why the Japanese wanted to participate, because it was all his own doing, but he hadn't expected that the Japanese would infiltrate China so thoroughly, using Chinese people to help them buy penicillin and other strategic medicines.

  Wang Mingyu suddenly felt lucky, it turned out that it wasn't this time in Shanghai. If he hadn't met Qin Rengu today, it was possible that the Du family would have gotten the agency rights. In fact, Jefferson had already investigated several families and the Du family still left a good impression on him. However, since Wang Mingyu didn't know about it, even if Jefferson gave the agency rights to the Du family in the end, he wouldn't think that Jefferson dared to ignore his words. Jefferson knew that everything he had was given by Wang Mingyu, so if someone could give, they could also take. But now that he has arrived in Shanghai, this matter must be participated in. Anyway, it's only August and there are no major events happening, so delaying for a few days doesn't matter.

  Wang Mingyu clenched his fist and said: "If Du's family gets agency rights, doesn't that mean Japan has also obtained agency rights?"

  Qin Renguo sighed and said, "In theory, it's like that, but in reality, Japan has to get at least around 80% of the goods. But this is also an unavoidable thing, after all, we Chinese people are hostile to Japanese people, while Americans only recognize money, who cares about who you are?"

  Wang Mingyu smiled and said: "It's not that there's no turning point, they recognize money, don't they? Then we'll just spend the money!"

  Qin Renguo's eyes lit up, then dimmed again: "It's not that easy to get money out. Our Kong family has the backing of the imperial court, the Du family has the shadow of Japan behind them, and our Qin family also has some people behind us, but they are just commercial alliances. They are all watching from the sidelines, worried about the power of the Kong and Du families, it's hard to get any money out!"

  Wang Mingyu thought to himself: "This company was originally mine, so why not invest in it myself? And by bringing along Nie Sisi and her family, I can distract more people's attention. However, it's best to do this secretly, or else if it's out in the open, my family will make too many enemies in China, which doesn't align with my own ideology."

  "Money is no problem, I have a way!"

  Qin Rengu was overjoyed and asked, "How much can you get?" Qin Rengu's joy wasn't unreasonable. Although he had a falling out with the Du family today, it was purely because he looked down on that kid Du Zifeng. However, he knew that Du Ziming still had some ability. He hadn't expected that someone he had met by chance today would be able to help him raise funds, which was better than nothing at least.

  Wang Mingyu smiled and said: "Don't worry about how much for now, I have a condition. If you agree to it, we can talk!"

  Qin Ren was delighted in his heart, as long as there were conditions, it would be easy to talk about, so he said: "You say, what are the conditions?"
