Chapter 71: The Right of Agency (6)
The Qin family's mansion is classical yet grand, with a blend of Chinese and Western architectural styles that also showcases the owner's ingenuity. The building complex is laid out in a harmonious manner, much like an art piece waiting to be appreciated. Inside the high-rise residence of the Qin family, in Qin Renguang's study, sat two men and two women - none other than Wang Mingyu and his entourage who had just returned from dinner at the hotel.
Wang Mingyu was drinking iced sour plum soup, and the two women were also drinking sour plum soup with one hand and fanning themselves with the other. The weather outside was really too hot, so Li Nan didn't go to work either, specially approved by Boss Qin Renguo.
Qin Renguo hastily walked into the study, looking excitedly at Wang Mingyu and said: "Just received news that Mr. Carl Jeffersson, CEO of US Zhongsheng Pharmaceutical, has checked in at Shanghai International Hotel!"
Wang Mingyu heard this news and his face lit up with joy, "Jefferson has arrived? Who else is coming?"
Qin Rengu said: "Currently, the news is that Jefferson and his party of six are coming to discuss agency rights. After all, the president has personally taken action. This Jefferson seems to have been an arms dealer in the past, selling arms in Shanghai and suffered a bit at the hands of the Kong family. It looks like this matter will be lively."
Wang Mingyu raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself: "Had a falling out with the Kong family? Jefferson never mentioned it! Looks like I'll have to make time to see Jefferson and confirm the next step in our plan."
Wang Mingyu said: "Kong and Jefferson had a falling out, but after all, this is in China. At present, the National Government and the Kong family are closely connected, and he must cooperate with the Kong family to survive. Otherwise, it's basically over for him in the Chinese market."
Qin Renguo smiled and said, "Well, this way I can be even more confident that the agency rights should not be given to just one company. Who has an appetite big enough to swallow such a huge market as China?"
Wang Mingyu thought for a moment and said: "Alright, I'll go visit President Jefferson. Let's discuss it when I get back."
"This is a very special time, you should not have any problem seeing that. Our Qin family, Du family and Kong family are all not suitable to meet him. I estimate that the Du family and Kong family will soon send someone to contact President Jefferson."
Wang Mingyu patted Qin Renguos shoulder and said: "Are you afraid?"
Qin Renguo said: "Actually, when you really calculate it, we are the party that is at the least advantage."
Wang Mingyu stared at Qin Renguo and said, "What makes you think so?"
Qin Renguo rolled his eyes and said, "It's obvious, isn't it? The Kong family and Jefferson may have had some minor friction, but it's all about interests. The Kong family isn't a charity, they wouldn't sell to just anyone, and Jefferson is just one of many arms dealers. With the current mindset of Jefferson's CEO, I don't think he'll hold a grudge. Besides, the Kong family has too much official backing, Jefferson won't be foolish enough to go against the government. The Du family may be collaborating with the Japanese, but their biggest advantage is that they're operating in secret. We know this, but Jefferson doesn't. If we were to tell him, he might think we're resorting to dirty tricks for the agency rights. So, the Du family's advantage lies in the fact that the Japanese are backing them from behind the scenes, and their support won't be insignificant. According to what you said, if the Americans don't sell to Japan, then China will be Japan's main battleground, and they'll definitely try every means to get the agency rights. This is Japan's only chance."
Wang Mingyu gave a thumbs up and said: "You're also a talent, haha, but we still have the biggest advantage."
Qin Renguo was taken aback and hastily asked: "What advantages?"
Wang Mingyu said: "Our greatest advantage is that your Qin family's cooperative partners still don't know until now, and when the time comes, we can catch them off guard."
"Never mind, even if we catch them off guard, when the time comes and they increase their funds, we'll still be no match. We can't possibly succeed in going up against a nation with just one family's power. Our only hope now is that President Jefferson will give us a share of the benefits, or else the Qin family will be like autumn grasshoppers."
Wang Mingyu looked at Qin Renguos expression and found it somewhat amusing, but he couldnt reveal the true details to Qin Renguos. Very few people knew about this matter, and it was better to keep things simple rather than complicated. Besides, Qin Renguos was not someone Wang Mingyu absolutely trusted, and they had only just met today. Although Qin Renguos seemed like a good person on the surface, human hearts are unpredictable, and who can truly see through them? He remembered a classic phrase from the internet: "There is no one who hasnt betrayed you, its just that others havent offered enough chips."
However, no matter what, Wang Mingyu's heart is more inclined towards Qin Rengu, and the thing with Du Ziming and Sun Xue doesn't need to be said, it has already passed, and Wang Mingyu has also let go. The fate of this thing cannot be forced, even if Sun Xue comes back now, Wang Mingyu still can't face her calmly, in his heart, he may not be able to tolerate betrayal. The main reason why Wang Mingyu can let go now is that his future is too uncertain.
Nie Sisi insisted on going with Wang Mingyu to meet the American president, but Wang Mingyu didn't want her to go. However, he couldn't withstand Nie Sisi's crying and tantrums, and unexpectedly agreed. Seeing Nie Sisi's triumphant smile, Wang Mingyu could only shake his head in dismay, sigh twice, and set off.
The Shanghai International Hotel is not far from Qin's home, and Wang Mingyu and Nie Sisi arrived in about a minute by taking a rickshaw.
After entering the hotel, Wang Mingyu asked the service staff for Jefferson's room number and then took Nie Sisi to Jefferson's room. To his surprise, there were two black bodyguards standing at Jefferson's door, which made Wang Mingyu quite astonished, this guy was actually quite impressive.
Two black men blocked Wang Mingyu and his companion without saying a word, mumbling a bunch of words, meaning to tell Wang Mingyu not to come near here. Wang Mingyu's English had improved significantly over the past two years, after all, he had a foundation in it before, so he said to the two bodyguards: "I want to see Mr. Jefferson."
One of the black bodyguards asked: "Who are you?"
"Wang Mingyu said: 'Tell Mr. Jefferson that I am Wang Mingyu, he knows me!'"
The black bodyguard saw Wang Mingyu could also speak English and felt a sense of closeness, then went to ask Jefferson.
Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu with a strange expression, thinking to herself, "He can even speak English? It seems I really don't understand him! I didn't expect the rumored Ningbo's young master Wang to be proficient in everything. Alas, compared to him, I feel a bit ashamed."
Wang Mingyu smiled slightly at Nie Sisi and said, "Isn't it strange that I can speak English?"
Nie Sisi's face turned red as she was caught off guard, but she also nodded in agreement, indeed she was quite strange.
"My English is generally okay, haha. I studied it for a while before. My Japanese is quite fluent, I've been studying it for three years now. I started learning it with a few friends when I was at the Central Military Academy."
Nie Sisi curiously asked: "What are you learning Japanese for?"
"Knowing yourself and knowing your enemy will win you a hundred battles! Having many skills doesn't weigh you down, there's always a time when they'll come in handy."
Nie Sisi was about to speak when the door of that room opened again. Jefferson looked at Wang Mingyu with a surprised face and said, "My big boss, how did you come?" After finishing speaking, he prepared to give Wang Mingyu a big hug.
Wang Mingyu hastily winked at him, indicating not to expose himself. Jefferson was also clever and immediately understood Wang Mingyu's intention. Jefferson suddenly looked stunned, then changed the embracing hands to a handshake. Wang Mingyu shook hands with Jefferson, then followed Jefferson into the room.
Entering the room, Jefferson asked happily: "Wang, how did you end up in Shanghai? Who is this girl?"
Wang Mingyu was also very happy to see his old friend and said, "She is my sister. I came to find you about the agency right of penicillin."
Jefferson said helplessly, "You told us to take charge, if I had known you already had a plan, I wouldn't have come all the way here, haha"
Wang Mingyu also helplessly said: "It just so happens, besides you don't quite understand the domestic situation."
"Look, you're the boss, whatever you say goes, what do you want to do?" Jefferson said bluntly.
Wang Mingyu nodded and said, "The special procurement of the National Government is not included in the agency rights, and it will be directly handed over to the Kong family for management. The domestic agency rights are given to the Qin family. Both parties do not interfere with each other, remember to put the Du family on the blacklist!"
"Jefferson asked: 'Why is Du's family on the blacklist? Did they do something wrong to you?'"
Wang Mingyu said: "Whether they have done anything wrong to me is unimportant, they are colluding with the Japanese!"
Jefferson's face was also filled with indignation, and he said: "I also detest such people. Those who do not love their own country will be despised by others."
Wang Mingyu nodded in agreement, then said: "Our three northeastern provinces have fallen into the hands of the Japanese, our 40 million compatriots are truly living in a sea of flames, but there are still some people who only care about their own interests and disregard the country's interests. Such people are not only a shame to our Chinese nation, but also an object of our attack." After finishing speaking, Wang Mingyu slammed his teacup heavily on the table in anger.
Niesi watched Wang Mingyu get angry, thinking that Wang Mingyu and Jefferson hadn't talked it out, so she hurriedly pulled Wang Mingyu away, then said to Jefferson: "Sorry, sorry, he didn't mean to."
Wang Mingyu looked at Nie Sisi with a bit of emotion, then smiled and said: "Sisi, it's okay. The topics we discussed earlier made me too angry, haha, Jefferson and I are friends now."
Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu with some confusion, then looked at Jefferson who was smiling at her. For a moment, she didn't know what to say either. She could only say: "You guys continue talking!"
Wang Mingyu continued to say to Jefferson, "As for the matters on the American side, I still need you to take care of them. I hope you can continue to work hard and make the company better. I heard from Wang Jie that it's developing very well. This time when you go back, bring three million doses of medicine for me. After you go back, handle it immediately and send it directly to Lianyungang Port, contact by telegram."
Jefferson nodded in agreement.
P.S: Recommending and collecting is a bit miserable, everyone please help, thank you all!
