Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 121: Li Yunlong, you really haven’t taken advantage of me enough, I don’t care anymore! 3-wo

"Lao Xu, we got two bottles of penicillin from a patriotic businessman. We want to ask if you have any channels to sell these two bottles of penicillin and help us exchange them for some money and food!"

"You should have heard of this miracle drug called penicillin. It is hundreds of times stronger than the current anti-inflammatory drug sulfonamide. It has a miraculous effect in fighting infection and is known as liquid gold abroad. I am not bragging, but the truth!"

After listening to Li Yunlong's introduction, Xu Zhongyi immediately stood up from his chair and asked in shock: "Li Yunlong, you son of a bitch, why don't you keep this good thing for yourself? Are you stupid to sell it? It can save a life at this critical moment, it is more precious than gold. You son of a bitch, you actually want to sell it for money, how much do you need money, you are selling life-saving medicine!"

Li Yunlong hurried forward and advised: "Lao Xu, I, Li Yunlong, have made many mistakes in small matters, but when it comes to big things, when have I ever been vague? If I hadn't gotten approval from above, I wouldn't have come to you. Tell me the truth, can you sell the things?"

Xu Zhongyi thought about it and it was true, Li Yunlong was usually very brave, but he and Li Yunlong were from the same place and they had known each other for many years, so he knew that this boy knew how to act even when he got into trouble, otherwise he would have been shot 800 times. He would not be able to stand in front of him with his beard and eyes intact and chat with him.

Xu Zhongyi went through the names of people he knew in his mind, and suddenly the name Nakamura Ichiro popped into his mind. He replied in surprise, "Lao Li, I can help you with this matter, but you can only get 80% of the money, and 20% of it will go to the middleman. Can you accept that?"

Li Yunlong was furious when he heard this. With just a casual resale, another 20% was taken away by someone else, not including the production cost. If the details were calculated, the middleman would have taken 40%. Li Yunlong retorted without hesitation: "Lao Xu, who is the middleman you found? Let's not talk about how powerful the other party is, but the commission is too high, almost taking half of the profit. This is even more cruel than Huang Shiren. I have become his employee. I really can't do such a business!"

Seeing Li Yunlong's angry look, Xu Zhongyi knew that his asking price was too high, but he had no choice. Nakamura Ichiro had a powerful background, and his brother-in-law was a high-ranking official in the Kwantung Army. In order to get in touch with him, he had spent a lot of money. This man didn't even look down on such a small business.

Xu Zhongyi pulled Li Yunlong into the warehouse, and then he said carefully: "Old Li, originally I didn't plan to use this line, but you surprised me so much, and the penicillin you mentioned is so famous, so I boldly fought for this opportunity for you. Who would have thought that you would not appreciate it, your kindness is really taken for granted!"

"Old Li, don't rush to curse me, listen to me in detail first. I accidentally rescued a little Japanese soldier before, but I didn't expect that this little Japanese soldier had a very powerful backer. I used the opportunity he gave me to get a lot of intelligence. This little Japanese soldier also got a lot of benefits from me, but the big sweep some time ago had a great impact on the line I controlled. If I can't provide him with enough money for him to squander, then we will immediately become strangers."

"The devil's name is Nakamura Ichiro, his military rank is Lieutenant Colonel, and he is a dandy who likes to eat, drink and have fun. It is very safe for these two penicillins to be shipped out through him, but his commission is very high, a fixed 20% commission on sales, which even I cannot change. The reason why I stopped you is mainly because I can get the materials that we urgently need through him. As long as there is enough money, even machine tools, weapons and ammunition can be obtained. Do you understand what I mean?"

After listening to Xu Zhongyi's story patiently, Li Yunlong realized that he was a little too excited just now, and said embarrassedly: "Old Xu, you know my temper! If this Nakamura Ichiro you mentioned is really so capable, then I agree to trade with him and find a way to get me two machine tools. This request is not too much, right!"

Xu Zhongyi wanted to kick Li Yunlong at this moment. Any machine tool cost one or two hundred thousand dollars. It was just a pipe dream to exchange it for two penicillins. His face fell. He pushed Li Yunlong out and angrily cursed: "Li Yunlong, you are dreaming. I can't help you with your business. You should figure it out yourself!"

Li Yunlong pulled the door and said flatteringly, "Lao Xu, I was just joking with you! If two doesn't work, then six. If it's more, I won't do this business. After all, machines are not as valuable as human lives. For the high-ranking officials of the Japanese, this price is just a drop in the bucket. They will definitely be happy to accept it!"

Xu Zhongyi looked much better. He pointed at Li Yunlong's nose and said angrily, "Li Yunlong, I really regret that we are from the same hometown. Six penicillins for one machine tool is already my current limit. Two machine tools really can't do it. If you have a way, don't waste your time here. For the sake of our fellow villagers, I will help you this time. Make your own decision!"

Realizing that Xu Zhongyi was really angry and knowing that he had reached his limit, Li Yunlong said angrily, "Old Xu, the six penicillins will be delivered in half a month. You and Ichiro Nakamura should agree on the delivery location. You must be careful about this matter to prevent the Japanese from taking advantage of you. I'm waiting for your notice!"

Before Xu Zhongyi could reply, Li Yunlong led Duan Peng and Wei Dayong out of Yuelai Restaurant. Looking at Li Yunlong's back, Xu Zhongyi said to himself with a bit of a smile: "Li Yunlong, you are so smart. I haven't even said I agree yet, but you have already arranged it. You didn't even give me a chance to speak! Forget it, I'll go find Nakamura Ichiro and get this done first!"

After Li Yunlong left Yuelai Restaurant, he took Duan Peng and Wei Dayong to stroll around Ping'an County. His outfit really attracted the attention of the detective team. The detective team leader Zhou Paopi stepped forward and asked, "Hey, you, where are you from?"

Li Yunlong sniffed and sneezed loudly, then he replied slowly: "Xiao Wei, tell this person, who am I, your master?"

"Okay, sir!" Wei Dayong quickly interjected.

"Hey, you are so bold that you dare to interrogate my master. My master's family name is Tong. Do you know Tong the translator? He is an interpreter in the headquarters and serves important people among the emperors. How dare you, a small captain of the detective team, to challenge the emperor? Are you tired of living? Who is your captain? I want to ask how he manages his subordinates. The people under him don't even have a bit of tact. It's better to get rid of them as soon as possible to avoid trouble for yourself!"

Wei Dayong looked at Zhou Paopi with a stern look and said contemptuously, which frightened Zhou Paopi so much that he begged for mercy again and again: "Oh my, this is a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple. Family members don't recognize each other. It turned out to be Old Master Tong. I'm sorry that I didn't recognize him just now. I apologize to you here!"

Zhou Paopi bowed to Li Yunlong and apologized. He also took out his money bag and handed it to Wei Dayong. Wei Dayong took it without hesitation, weighed the money inside, and said with a smile: "You are a sensible person. You will definitely have a bright future. Today's matter is over. Next time, be more careful. There are too many people in this world that you can't afford to offend. Do you understand?"

Zhou Paopi nodded flatteringly and said, "Young man, I heard you clearly. I will take them away right away and not disturb the old man's leisurely shopping!"

Zhou Paopi quickly told his men to leave, and ran through two streets before he stopped, panting and cursing, "Damn it, I shouldn't have gone out this morning if I hadn't heard the magpie's call. I almost lost my career!"

Goudan beside him asked curiously: "Captain, he is just an interpreter. Why should we be afraid? Anyway, he has no control over us, so why should we be so scared? Besides, their identities may not be true. What if they are fake? I think they are just like the Eighth Route Army. After being blocked by us, they deliberately lied to us in order to avoid being discovered."

Zhou Paopi knocked Goudan on the head and yelled angrily, "If you want to die, don't drag me along with you. Although I have never seen Tong the Translator, I have heard of his reputation. He is a sinister and vicious villain. If he targets us, not only will we not be able to survive, but even our families will not be able to survive!"

"Sometimes it's better to have less trouble than more. If we really do what you said, it will be equivalent to offending people to death, and there will not be even a little room for easing the tension. You should learn from me. Sometimes the truth is not important. Even if we are deceived, after Translator Tong knows it, he will not only not add insult to injury, but will say a few words for us. This is a huge fortune, and you bastards can't explain it!"

"Hurry up and take your men to patrol the streets and collect this month's regular taxes. I just lost more than 100 dollars. I have to collect it from those merchants and ask them to pay an extra dollars each this month. If anyone dares not to pay, I will say that they are related to the Tubalu. If we want to settle this matter later, it will not be enough to just pay dollars. It will cost at least dollars."

When Goudan heard about the fee, he said, "Captain, just wait and see. If anyone dares not to pay, I, Goudan, will be the first one to not let him off!"

"Goudan, you are such a bad guy. You are always very active in this kind of thing. Last time, you almost forced someone to sell their children. You also got criticized and scolded behind my back. Your reputation is even worse than mine!"

"You should be gentle this time. You have to leave them a chance to survive. This kind of business requires steady progress. You can't push them too far. Even rabbits bite when they're cornered, let alone humans. You should also leave them a glimmer of hope for survival. Only in this way will they continue to endure and not perish with us!"
