Chapter 502: Persuading Minister Zhou to Surrender
"Mr. Tiger, Mr. Leo, please take a seat." After seeing Li Qun off, Chen Yang welcomed the two German guests in.
"Mr. Chen, I have to tell you a very sad news." Tiger sat down and said slowly: "You want too much equipment."
"I have consulted with Bayer headquarters and they think the price is much higher than we expected."
"So, are you going to refuse?" Chen Yang was not surprised at all.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I guess we can only look forward to our next cooperation." Tiger said with some regret.
"Then there's nothing more to say. Secretary He, please see you two out." Chen Yang asked He Yuehua to see the guests out without any hesitation.
"Wait a minute, Mr. Chen."
Leo said, "Perhaps, we can talk about this some more."
Tiger was stunned for a moment, looked at Leo and said, "Mr. Leo, what do you want to say? I don't think Bayer headquarters will accept such an absurd request."
“And you represent the Science Committee, not Bayer.”
Leo shook his head and looked at Tiger and said, "Mr. Tiger, I don't think you are a qualified medical representative. You don't know what this small bottle of medicine represents."
"In the eyes of the Führer, you, Bayer, are not as important as this drug."
"Mr. Leo, what nonsense are you talking about?" Tiger was obviously dissatisfied with what Leo said.
Bayer is a leading pharmaceutical company and enjoys a high reputation in the pharmaceutical field. However, in Leo's eyes, such a company is not as important as penicillin.
Leo ignored Tiger's anger, but took out an envelope with flowers on it from his briefcase and handed it solemnly to Chen Yang.
"Mr. Chen, at this point I have no choice but to reveal my identity. This is the authorization letter given to me by the Bayer board of directors."
"I can negotiate directly with you on behalf of Bayer, and my decision is completely valid."
Tiger's face suddenly changed. "That's impossible. I didn't hear Mr. Thorne mention you when I came here."
Leo shrugged and said, "To be honest, if you can negotiate, I don't need to take out this authorization letter."
"But, obviously, you don't know the importance of penicillin."
Chen Yang took the authorization letter handed over by Leo, confirmed it was correct, and returned it to the other party.
"So, Mr. Leo can make the decision? Well, I still have those conditions. Mr. Tiger, please give the previous list to Mr. Leo."
Tiger frowned and continued to mutter, "This is crazy. I really don't know why the headquarters would authorize you, but this price is definitely not something Bayer can afford."
"Mr. Tiger, the reason you don't understand is that you don't understand politics." Chen Yang smiled and said, "Germany is invincible in Europe. The British and French coalition forces can never be Germany's opponent."
"But there will definitely be casualties in war, and soldiers' lives are very precious."
"This drug can improve the survival rate of soldiers and naturally increase the prestige of the head of state."
"A leader who can sacrifice all interests for the sake of his soldiers will naturally gain support,"
Leo agreed with Chen Yang's opinion very much, but he also had some doubts in his heart.
Germany attacked many small countries in Western Europe and overwhelmed the Netherlands. The British and French allied forces went to rescue...
The eyes of the whole world are now on the Netherlands, but no one can see that the Anglo-French coalition forces are likely to fail.
How Chen Yang was so sure that Germany would win.
"Too crazy, too crazy, never mind, I will report everything I saw to the board of directors truthfully, and as for the agreement between you, I will no longer be involved." Tiger picked up his briefcase angrily and walked out without saying goodbye.
Chen Yang couldn't help but shook his head as he watched Tiger leave.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. Mr. Tiger's opinion cannot affect our cooperation. Now that I have obtained the authorization, the document we signed will have a certain effect. However, before that, I also have a small request." Leo smiled and said, "I hope that your pharmaceutical factory in the UK will provide us with all the drug data."
“Including data from various human experiments.”
"This request is not excessive," Chen Yang thought, "You spent such a large amount of money, this is what you deserve."
"That's good," Leo stood up and said, "Please let me know when you have the contract ready. I'll take my leave now."
Shancheng, Hunan Guild Hall, Military Control Commission Office.
"Yaoquan, has Xizhe already arrived in Shanghai?" Boss Dai rubbed his eyebrows and asked Zheng Jiemin.
"It should be here. The intelligence liaison officer of the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Station is considering how to arrange a meeting between Brother Xizhe and Minister Zhou."
"However, I am still a little hesitant. Do you really think Brother Xizhe can convince Minister Zhou to return to Shancheng?"
"From what I know, he holds a high position in the puppet government. In addition to being the Minister of Finance, he also holds many other important positions. Do you really think he will give up those positions and cooperate with the Military Control Commission?"
Boss Dai shook his head and said, "To be honest, I'm not sure, but it's possible."
"This is a typical sophisticated egoist. He won't put all his cards on the table."
"We just gave him one more option."
"Commander, don't we need to inform the God of Wealth about this matter?" Zheng Jiemin asked carefully.
"No need for that. Cai Shen has always been our only contact. We cannot allow him to have any horizontal contact with the Military Control Commission."
"Otherwise, there is a risk that the God of Wealth will be exposed."
"His current position is more important than Minister Zhou's. At least, he is loyal to the party and the country."
"As for Minister Zhou, he and we have a mutually beneficial relationship."
Zheng Jiemin deeply agreed with this.
After a long silence, Zheng Jiemin said, "Director, there is something I don't know whether I should say it or not."
Boss Dai raised his hand and said, "Yaoquan, just say whatever you want to say. Don't be so hesitant. There is nothing between you and me that cannot be said."
Zheng Jiemin looked around, leaned forward and whispered, "I just came back from the Military Affairs Office and heard some news."
"The Central Bureau of Investigation has collected some evidence about Zhao Lijun,"
"Someone reported that he had set up a private checkpoint at the Yellow River crossing, and often extorted money and did whatever he wanted in the name of inspection. If he was not satisfied, he would beat and scold people, rob them of their property, or even beat them to death and throw them into the Yellow River to destroy the bodies."
"Central Bureau agents repeatedly mixed in with the people crossing the river to conduct intelligence activities. As a result, several people were beaten to death by Zhao Lijun and thrown into the Yellow River."
"In addition, the Central Bureau of Investigation also found that Zhao Lijun's supervisory group openly used guns to exchange opium with bandits, and the amount was as much as several ships."
"What? He, he is so brave." Boss Dai was furious when he heard this.
