Chapter 72: The Right of Agency (7)

  Jefferson knew that Wang Mingyu had him do this, there must be a reason for it. Moreover, Wang Mingyu was the real boss, and no matter what Wang Mingyu needed, Jefferson would definitely go all out to do his best and satisfy Wang Mingyu.

  Looking at Jefferson, Wang Mingyu smiled and said: "Jefferson, you are the president, and I am representing the Qin family now. When we discuss with several families together later, don't pretend to know me. Today's visit is definitely known by other families, just say that we were friends in Shanghai before. Another thing, this time I have a cooperative relationship with the Qin family, so when they ask you, just say that I have already given you $3 million as a deposit."

  Jefferson smiled and nodded, then patted Wang Mingyu on the shoulder and said: "En, I know, you're the boss, it's up to you, hehe, this girl is not bad, when we were in Ningbo, I seemed to have heard that you had a fiancée, don't know if it's her?" He also winked at Nie Sisi.

  Niesi watched Jefferson's strange movements with curiosity, so she asked Wang Mingyu what Jefferson was saying. Wang Mingyu chuckled and said: "He is praising your beauty."

  Niesisi asked excitedly: "Really? Thank you so much, President Jefferson! I'm thrilled!", Wang Mingyu looked at Niesisi speechlessly and shook his head with a smile.

  Wang Mingyu let Jefferson take the 30,000 doses of penicillin, which was actually intended to be sent to the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army in northern Shaanxi. This army was one that Wang truly admired, but their medical equipment was extremely outdated. With the Nationalist government blocking their access to medicine and their own insufficient funds, many soldiers were dying from lack of timely treatment. Wang did not want to see so many excellent revolutionary fighters sacrifice themselves for such reasons. The 30,000 doses of penicillin would be enough for the Red Army to use for a while. After this trip to Shanghai, a clear plan gradually formed in Wang's mind, waiting to be put into action upon his return.

  Actually, Wang Mingyu did not expect that this time the Shaanbei side also sent a competitive candidate to participate in the competition for penicillin. Currently, the underground party of the Communist Party is actively planning this matter. The Shanghai Municipal Committee is actively raising funds. They have also learned about the Japanese people competing for agency rights. In addition, in order to prevent the Military Commission's secret agents, all their actions are being carried out secretly and covertly.

  Wang Mingyu and Jefferson chatted for a while, reminiscing about old times, discussing the current situation in the US and the future development path of Zhongsheng Pharmaceuticals. Wang Mingyu hoped that Jefferson could continue to make contact with high-ranking officials in the US and open up a transportation channel from the US to China. Jefferson gladly accepted Wang Mingyu's request, as everything he had was given by Wang Mingyu. Although Jefferson appeared to be calm on the surface, he actually held Wang Mingyu in awe. The presence of Nie Sisi only made Jefferson more subdued, unable to show too much enthusiasm. After talking for over two hours, Wang Mingyu left with Nie Sisi and returned to the Qin family home.

  Wang Mingyu had already told Qin Renguo that Jefferson Pharmaceuticals had reached a verbal agreement with him, and President Jefferson agreed to transfer all businesses except those needed by the National Revolutionary Army to the Qin family. Qin Renguo felt unbelievable after hearing this, looking at Wang Mingyu in surprise, because he felt that things were going too smoothly, so smoothly that it was hard for him to accept, but he still chose to believe Wang Mingyu's words, after all, such things are not usually joked about.

  In collaboration with the Qin family, Wang Mingyu decided to take out $3 million with Nie Sisi. Of course, it's not necessary to actually take out $3 million. Wang Mingyu's purpose in meeting Jefferson this time is to have the $3 million directly transferred to his name as a deposit for cooperation with the Qin family. After all, if he goes back to Zhejiang to raise funds again, there won't be enough time, so he can just make up an excuse and say that he has a check from the foreign bank on him.

  Qin Renguo was so excited that he stuttered: "Brother Wang, you really gave it? That's 30 million...!"

  Wang Mingyu raised an eyebrow and said, "What? Brother Qin doesn't trust my character? Don't believe me? You can go ask President Jefferson right now." Nie Si thought to herself when Wang Mingyu had given a check to President Jefferson. She had been standing beside him all along but hadn't seen it, and couldn't help but look at Wang Mingyu with suspicion. However, since Wang Mingyu said so, she couldn't possibly ask about it on the spot. After all, she wasn't some kind of ignorant fool. She could only think about asking later.

  Qin Renguo hastily said: "Brother Wang, don't misunderstand me, I'm just a bit too excited and want to confirm it!"

  Wang Mingyu also smiled and said it was nothing, then said: "Qin brother, our cooperation is officially starting from now. I want to confirm our way of cooperation and the existence of shares."

  Qin Renguo thought for a moment and then asked: "I don't know what Brother Wang's plan is?"

  "This 30 million will be considered as the combined shares of our Wang and Nie families. Your Qin family will invest 30 million to take up 40% of the shares, while our two families will each take up 30% of the shares." Wang Mingyu expressed his thoughts.

  "Uh...alright, I'll go back and discuss it with my family. I won't be able to make a decision on this matter for now, but I think there's a good chance that they'll agree. After all, this is something that Brother Wang has been instrumental in bringing about." Qin Rengu thought for a moment before saying.

  "En, no rush, I'll wait." Wang Mingyu nodded, after all, this was a major matter that would affect the future of an entire family, and it wasn't something that a young junior like Qin Rengu could make decisions on.

  After Qin Renguo left, Nie Sisi asked angrily: "Wang Mingyu, what do you mean? I didn't see you give Jefferson money?"

  Wang Mingyu was taken aback for a moment, forgetting what had just happened, and then said calmly: "You were probably in a daze at the time, didn't you see me give it to you?"

  Nie Sisi also asked uncertainly at this time: "You... did you really give it?"

  "I gave it to you, I thought you saw it! Didn't expect you'd still make a mistake, I'm speechless about you!"

  "Oh, maybe I didn't notice at the time! Hmph, who told you to speak English that I couldn't understand? But how can you say our family has 30% of the shares? My dad hasn't even agreed to give money yet! You're so reckless, aren't you afraid we'll default on payment?"

  "Haha, consider this 30% share as a dowry from me. I'm afraid you'll renege on the debt? Our families have been friends for generations, discussing money is too hurtful."

  "You... who's joking with you, 15 million! That's not 150 yuan." Nie Sisi looked at Wang Mingyu with a somewhat strange expression, very puzzled by his actions. In fact, anyone else wouldn't understand either. Who would be so crazy as to take out 15 million without even blinking and give it away?

  "I know, what's the big deal about 1.5 million? Our two families have been friends for generations anyway. I should thank you for accompanying me these past few days. Besides, I consider you a sister, so giving you some pocket money is only right, don't you think?" Wang Mingyu had a smiling face and an air of nonchalance.

  "Sister? Pocket money?"

  "Alright, let's just drop it for now. I'll mention it to Uncle Nian later. Don't worry about it too much, having more money is just a number, you can't use that much anyway, so just consider it as savings!"

  "Oh, but..."

  "Don't keep saying 'but' anymore, if you think it's not good, then just return me the money you earned and that's it."

  "Okay, thank you!" Nie Sisi responded to Wang Mingyu with a hint of helplessness. After all, the agency rights of penicillin meant something, and Nie Sisi was still very clear about it in her heart. Since it was such a good thing, agreeing to it wouldn't hurt, especially since it was Wang Mingyu who offered it to her. Although she didn't know why she agreed so readily, she felt a little excited in her heart, but also slightly disappointed.

  "Look at you, being so polite, what's the point? I'm also borrowing your family's influence, aren't I? We're just taking what we need."

  "Alright, no more courtesy, it's foolish to have money and not use it. I'm also going to take advantage of you, a wealthy landlord."

  "Your family isn't also a landlord's wealth? Later when I have the chance, I'll exploit you too. Let me find it... The feeling of peasants turning over and singing!"

  "Can't you just stop arguing with me all the time?!"

  "What's wrong with you and me?"

  "You're just like me now," she said, and then Nie Sisi drank a big mouthful of water in anger, ignoring Wang Mingyu and leaving him bewildered.

  Actually, what made Nie Sisi angry was not Wang Mingyu and his verbal sparring, but the previous sentence "I treat you as my sister". Nie Sisi didn't know why, but when she heard this sentence, her mind felt uncomfortable. After serious reflection, Nie Sisi suddenly felt that she had put too much emphasis on Wang Mingyu. She couldn't think of herself liking him, but her behavior indeed implied a liking for him. Nie Sisi could deceive others, but not herself. That psychological feeling was also impossible to deceive oneself.

  Nie Sisi, who was in a dilemma, kept comforting herself that she liked Qian Laoshi, but the more she did so, the more she thought of Wang Mingyu. At this moment, Wang Mingyu seemed like a recurring nightmare, constantly wandering in Nie Sisi's mind and taking root. Of course, the obtuse Wang Mingyu was clearly unaware of Nie Sisi's abnormal behavior, and he was still thinking about whether he had said something wrong again and offended this seemingly powerful young lady who held his embarrassing secrets as leverage.

  A few days later, at the Shanghai International Hotel, several groups of people converged, all aiming for the agency rights to penicillin, and for a time, undercurrents surged.
