Chapter 640 (Happy New Year!)
(
It’s been another year in a daze, thank you big brothers for your continued support.
I wish you good health, family harmony, smooth career, abundant financial resources, and good luck in the Year of the Rabbit.
The main text of this chapter is 4,600 words, and it costs 23 cents. Just like last year, I thought it was a good idea to send a red envelope to the brothers who have been reading it, and to the brothers who will see this in the future.
Please believe me, brother, if I had the ability, I would also like to send one or two yuan, but I really can’t write it. That's all. Don't be picky, brother, don't be offended.
Once again, thank you guys for your continued support!

Wang Yan, who is now twenty-nine and is actually nearly a thousand years old, does not know that he has become a good boy...
After receiving the call back, he immediately put down the radio and left the safe house without hesitation, heading to Fuchsing Pawn Shop on Foch Road.
Still knocking on the door with two short, two long and two short strokes, Liu Qiulan greeted Wang Yan with a smile and let Wang Yan in. She stayed close to the door, listening intently to what was going on outside. Wang Yan walked into the study room and sat on the sofa behind the lamp.
He didn't say any more nonsense, and took out two envelopes containing information from his arms and slapped them on the desk: "These two are information about new sterilizing and anti-inflammatory drugs. In order to avoid any accidents in the process, I prepared two copies. Come on. It has been reported to the superiors and transported by the transportation station in two lines as soon as possible to carry out research. "
Of course Lu Boda knew how valuable antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs were. His eyes widened, full of surprise: "New antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs? How does it compare to sulfonamides?"
"Based on the information currently available, it is at least stronger than sulfa. The function of sulfa is bacteriostatic, while the function of the new drug is initially judged to be bactericidal."
Of course, Lu Boda believed what Comrade Pei Min said. He had long-tested qualifications, and organizational discipline was the clearest. If such a matter that was crucial to the party had not been determined and had a certain possibility of success, like Pei A cautious person like Min would not say that, as if he had already succeeded.
He suppressed his excitement, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "What are the instructions from the superior?"
"No, I should contact you directly."
This is a normal sequence. Wang Yan has no affiliation with the Shanghai Party organization. Unless there is an emergency, it is impossible for him to convey emergency instructions. Lu Boda asked this, mainly because he was distracted. This new antiseptic and anti-inflammatory drug was really too important. Apart from anything else, if the Soviet area had the strength to produce sulfonamides in large quantities, it would be a different world. What's more, the current drug is even stronger than sulfa. Therefore, Lu Boda's gaffe is very understandable.
Lu Boda naturally understood that he was concerned and confused. He waved his hand and nodded: "Okay, I understand."
Wang Yan asked: "Is the party fee still enough?"
"If it's not enough, I'll take the initiative to tell you."
"Okay, that's it, let's go." Without any nonsense greetings, Wang Yan stood up and left directly. Sneaking all the way back to the prince's mansion again...
When Liu Qiulan returned to the house, Lu Boda was looking through the information in the envelope. Although he couldn't understand it, he still read it again. Then he took out the paint and other tools from the drawer and manipulated the inside of the envelope. Make marks with hands and feet inside and out.
This is a necessary confidentiality procedure. The transportation line is so long and there are so many people involved. No one knows whether there will be changes in the middle. I don’t know if the one sent over is the same one. Therefore, it became inevitable to agree on a verification method with the recipient in the Soviet area and mark the inside and outside of the envelope.
Only a few people know the verification method. In this way, they can determine whether there is a problem with the transportation line when receiving the letter information. If there is really a problem, a very stupid but very useful identification method is to continuously transmit letter data on the transportation line with the problem, and narrow down the scope step by step, and you will definitely be able to locate the station where the problem is.
Looking at Lu Boda, who was still smiling while making the mark, Liu Qiulan also smiled: "Is there something good going on?"
"It's not just a good thing, it's a huge good thing. As for the specific matter, I won't reveal it to you. I believe you will understand it soon." What can be said and what cannot be said, Lu Boda is better than anyone else. Everyone knows that even if this is his wife who is dependent on him because of his ideal union, it is the same. He said: "Go and check the radio station. You should have received the news by now."
Liu Qiulan nodded, first added some hot water to Lu Boda's cup, and then left and went to the house next door, which also belonged to them.
As the first secretary of the Shanghai Underground Party, Lu Boda's location can be said to be the Shanghai headquarters. Although not many people know about it, many secrets are collected here first and then sent out eventually. How can there be only one pawn shop? It's that simple...
Wang Yan didn't think about how excited Lu Boda was. The two letters took two transportation lines respectively, from the largest city in the Far East in the east to Yan'an in the northwest, a distance of three thousand miles. According to the traffic at this time The speed, as well as the time it takes to deliver the letter, can't be reached within a month.
Although he was a detective, it was not good to not go to work all the time, so he rarely went to the police station. The main reason was that he had already reached an agreement with the teachers in Datong before, and there were regulations on how to carry out the research. All the work he had to do was handed over to Gu Yongcheng and Shi Changxing, leaving only the purchase of various equipment.
So when he came to the arresting room, he learned about the specific situation of this period, gave his No. 100 Chinese arrester an injection of chicken blood to wash his brain, showed his face to Mitchell, and talked and laughed about the recent events. After chatting for a while, they went to Egger's place.
Iger is still the same. He made a glass of wine early in the morning and wrapped it in a big cigar. Maybe foreign devils like this. Iger has a happy life and a successful career, so naturally he deserves to drink more. He already has rosacea and his bald head, which is very funny.
Seeing Wang Yan knocking on the door and coming in, he exclaimed exaggeratedly: "Look, isn't this my good friend who is dedicated to discovering new continents in those piles of dizzying scientific journals?"
"You laugh at me too?"
Seeing Wang Yan sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, as if he was a little unhappy, Aige shook his head repeatedly, poured Wang Yan a glass of wine and came over and said: "Wang, you know, you are a very famous person. Not only "You have a great reputation among you Chinese, us French, those damn British and Americans, and other Westerners in Shanghai."
“Because they know they can make money and feel safe by working with me.”
"Yes, Wang, that's true. But having too much fame is not a good thing. It's like now, you have become the biggest joke in Shanghai. A person who doesn't understand anything actually wants to understand those profound scientific knowledge. , and found business opportunities. For this reason, a big shot like you went to the university to take classes with those young boys. "
Wang Yan spread his hands indifferently, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and said with a smile: "Why not do something that can make everyone happy? And don't you think that the more everyone dislikes it, then after success? , will you receive more applause and praise?”
"Oh?" Iger put down his wine glass and faced Wang Yan with a big face: "Wang, have you really found some business opportunities?"
Wang Yan smiled slightly and took out a few pieces of paper full of words from his pocket: "Eger, these things can't be bought here. Please trouble your friends in Europe and ask them to purchase the things written above. There is no need to collect it this time, they can just find a better university and have it shipped over as soon as possible.”
Egg took the pieces of paper, looked at the densely packed instruments, and then raised his head and asked again: "Did the research really come out?"
"How can it be so fast? I have only been researching for ten days. The main thing is that I currently have some ideas, producing drinks and noodles, both of which are very popular, will not be remembered, and will have no impact on the current war. Don't use it Looking at me with that look, I know there are already drinks and noodles, but who says I can't make them? My drinks have more taste with noodles, and the noodles are chewier, more convenient, and can be stored for a long time. They are all advantages. I don’t think what I produce is inferior to others. Moreover, the current situation is turbulent, everything is lacking, and workers’ wages are cheap, so it is impossible to lose money.”
"But you have to know that if the money you use to open a factory is used to purchase goods, it will be a huge profit in itself. When you open a factory, you have to put more thought into it, and even the money you spend selling drinks and noodles may not be enough. It’s not even comparable. After all, you’re at a loss.”
"I told you before that the current situation is unclear. No one knows when our shipping route will be cut off. There are still Japanese people watching from the side. Egg, they are really going crazy. You are far away in Europe, the great France. But it's too late to send troops to fight the Japanese monkeys you often call, and the Americans and British are no exception. If that happens, what do you think I should do? So, I opened a factory not only to make some small money, but also for the long term. I’ll think about it later. Besides, you’re so sure that I don’t make as much money as we do by reselling the goods?”
"Wang, you are too pessimistic and too optimistic. After you caught Japanese spies before, but now they don't dare to check our goods, why do Japanese monkeys dare to provoke us? As for your factory, who knows Earn more or less?”
Of course, Wang Yan smiled at Iger's confidence: "Iger, time will give you my answer. No matter how much or how little I earn, I will work for you. After all, you French people are my backers. No matter what, you made a lot of money. Now, what you have to do is to get the things I need as soon as possible. You will be able to see things in a year at the latest. "
Iger shrugged his shoulders and shook a few pieces of paper in his hand: "Okay, who makes us friends? If I don't help you, who will I help? I will contact them in a while and transport what you need back as soon as possible. But this You have to pay for it all at once, there are too many things and I can’t afford it.”
"Don't worry, when have I ever made you suffer? That's it. I still have to study. I'll leave first and wait for your good news."
After having a toast with Egger and drinking up all the expensive red wine in the glass, Wang Yan simply left...
When Wang Yan was riding to Datong University, Zhang Xiaolin, who had been enjoying the spring breeze lately and was very proud of himself, was also riding back home. Recently, he was still working on his official duties, and there was still no definite answer from the Japanese. They just excused themselves by saying they were waiting. Just now he went there again and got the same excuse.
He knew that the Japanese were looking for a more suitable candidate, so he dealt with him in various ways. But he is not in a hurry, because even if he cannot take the position he sought when he first defected, there will definitely be other position arrangements.
After all, he was an early defector and made great efforts in the Battle of Shanghai. In this situation, if the Japanese treated him harshly, what would others think? In addition, he had made a lot of money by taking advantage of the Japanese. Although he wanted more power, what he got now was enough. It was because of this confidence that he was not in a hurry.
Last month, he asked Wang Yan for someone. Although Wang Yan beat his people, he bowed his head in front of him. He successfully suppressed this rising star in the Green Gang. If Wang Yan didn't give him face, he wouldn't let him go. For a while, he really had no good way.
Because he knew that the Japanese valued Wang Yan more, and Wang Yan was also the spokesperson for the interests of the French, and his own power was not bad. So although Wang Yan didn't agree to let him go, that was not giving him face, that was a deadly enemy, but for a while, even if he made up his mind to fight to the death, he couldn't do anything about Wang Yan for a while.
At that time, it would be a devastating blow to his reputation. Because he represented the authority of the Green Gang, and Wang Yan was just a rising star. It was not interesting to see the authority suppress the newcomers, but the newcomers challenging the authority was what people liked to see. At that time, Zhang Xiaolin would be the biggest joke in Shanghai, even worse than Wang Yan now. After all, although Wang Yan's current behavior was very funny, he was still learning after all. It could only be said that the anecdotes of big figures were two different things.
But that didn't happen after all. Although he knew that Wang Yan didn't give in, others didn't know. Anyway, what people outside saw was that Wang Yan let him go, which meant that Zhang Xiaolin earned face, which made his recent reputation higher. People say that the old predecessors are the old predecessors, and the tiger's might is still there.
In addition, he also shaved 100,000 US dollars from Gao Yunchang, the big fat pig, and got money for free. He got both face and money. It made him happy for more than a month, and now he still wants to laugh when he thinks about it.
Especially when there was Wang Yan, the young man, who had become a big joke in Shanghai. He was so happy just thinking about it. A gangster from the Green Gang, instead of shooting people with a gun, was doing science. It really messed up the world and all kinds of weird things happened.
The car stopped in the yard. He got out of the car with a stern face, went into the house, and was dressed by someone to change into cool clothes. In the spacious study, he lay comfortably on the recliner, blowing the cool electric fan, swaying and thinking about random things.
Just at this time, the forty-year-old maid who had worked for him for many years came in with tea: "Sir, the tea is here."
This is an old man, and the relatives at home are under control, so she is very relieved.
And to be honest, although he had been assassinated by the Military Control Commission before, he didn't think that he would be assassinated again if he failed in one strike. After all, he was prepared. Now he stayed at home all day, and the Zhang Mansion was also heavily guarded. This was not the territory of the Kuomintang. He didn't believe that the Military Control Commission had the ability to come to his house to kill him. Besides, even if they could come to his house and succeed, the loss would not be something the military control could bear. He believed that the military control could figure it out.
He waved his hand: "Okay, leave it there."
The maid responded, carrying the tea tray and placing it on the small table next to Zhang Xiaolin's recliner. She also thoughtfully poured a cup of tea and placed it at a place where she could reach it, and then she gently retreated.
Zhang Xiaolin squinted his eyes and did not notice the trembling of the maid when she poured the tea.
He lay down for a while, relieving the heat from the car before. The tea was mild, and he picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. He did not know how to taste tea, so he did not have the good habit of looking at it first, smelling it, and tasting it, and rolling it around.
So he drank the cup of tea and swallowed it into his stomach, only to find that something was wrong with his mouth. He picked up the teacup and took a look, and saw a circle of fine powder at the mouth of the cup. He suddenly widened his eyes and struggled to sit up.
But it was too late. His stomach was churning and he suddenly felt a severe cramp. He straightened his body in pain, then curled up tightly, fell off the recliner and fell to the floor. He endured the huge pain, which even made him unable to open his mouth and shout.
He felt black in front of his eyes, felt breathless, felt... he couldn't feel it...
The maid carefully poked her head in, looked at Zhang Xiaolin's distorted and terrifying face, and quickly closed the double doors of the study. After taking a few slow breaths, she forced herself to leave calmly.
Zhang Xiaolin, a giant of the Qing Gang, died of poisoning by the Military Control Commission...
