Chapter 65 The wind and rain are coming (2)
Penicillin finally caused a sensation around the world, and the Washington Post even called it a milestone in the history of human medicine. The news soon reached Shanghai. Pfizer Pharmaceuticals also sent a telegram asking Hong Junwei and James to go back quickly, saying that reporters who came to interview and representatives from various countries who came to discuss cooperative sales matters had gathered at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory.
Hong Junwei and James also booked a ticket to return to the United States in two days early. On that day, Chen Xiuwen and James had just gone to the public rental warehouse to inspect the gun. Two hundred brand new Thomson submachine guns and 500,000 11.43mm bullets were loaded and transported back to Suzhou and returned home.
As soon as I stepped into the house, I saw my brother-in-law Tang Wenbin rushed towards Chen Xiuwen with the newspaper, shouting: "I'm making a big deal now, I'm making a big deal now. Brother, you're going to make a fortune this time."
Chen Xiuwen said with a smile: "What do I have made a fortune? We all have a share. When I bought Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, I said that if I lose money, I will return home if I make a profit, my brother and you will have a share."
Tang Wenbin looked embarrassed and said, "How is this good? I bought it with your share. My father and I don't believe you will really get a magical medicine like penicillin." As he said, Tang Wenbin whispered in Shen Xiuwen's ear: "Actually, I haven't thanked you well yet. The information you provided to me last year, I bought Boeing, General Motors and Thor's stocks have risen by almost 50%.
"Brother-in-law, I tell you, don't sell. In another ten years, I promise that your stocks will increase by ten times, more than twenty times." Chen Xiuwen also smiled and said in a low voice.
"Really?" Tang Wenbin stared at Chen Xiuwen with wide eyes.
"Of course it's true, if you believe me or not?"
"I believe it, of course I believe it. Brother, I really didn't expect you to be a lucky boy." Tang Wenbin said quickly, his tone was very emotional. He had been in the Shanghai mall for more than ten years, but why was he not as good as his brother-in-law?
"I never thought, I really thought. Resurrection, you finally got this penicillin out." At this time, the old man also walked out of the study with a smile on his face.
"Dad." Chen Xiuwen and Tang Wenbin shouted quickly.
The old man walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, signaling Chen Xiuwen and Tang Wenbin to sit down, and said with a smile: "Liberation, since you bought the Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company, I have been worried about you very much. Fortunately, the Hong family boy is capable and helps you manage it in the United States in an orderly manner and will not lose money. Originally, I didn't believe that this penicillin really has such a good effect. Now it seems that I am old and can't compare to you young people."
"Dad, how could you say that? If it weren't for your support of me, I would have been just an idea and would not have become a reality at all. You have to say that you are far-sighted and visionary." Chen Xiuwen quickly smiled and flattered the old man.
The old man smiled and waved his hand and said, "If you really have vision, Mr. Zeng should be visionary. I also saw that he was willing to invest, so I made up this decision." Then, the old man frowned slightly and said, "However, it was your personal behavior to liberation that it was your own behavior when he first agreed to acquire this pharmaceutical factory. Why did you keep the shares at home?"
"Dad, actually, I knew I could succeed at the beginning. I was afraid that you would not give me the money, so I said I wanted my own share." Chen Xiuwen grabbed his head and said, "Besides, the world is getting worse and worse. The Japanese in the north have already stationed troops under the city of Beiping. Look at Shanghai again. There are more and more Japanese warships in the Huangpu River. Sooner or later, this battle will start. Moreover, it will not take a year or two, but it may take ten or eight years. So this pharmaceutical factory is a guarantee for our whole family in the future, and I am also a part of the family."
"Well, Xiuwen, do we have members of your Pfizer Pharmaceutical Company?" He knew that Chen Xiuping was coming when he heard the voice. Sure enough, Chen Xiuwen turned his head and saw that Chen Xiuping and Yu Wenwan were walking down the stairs. When Chen Xiuwen's eyes came into contact with Yu Wenwan, he found that she was also looking at her with surprise.
"Of course, our Shen family has 60% of the shares in the pharmaceutical factory. Brother 15, you and your brother-in-law 15, and the remaining thirty are my father and I. Of course, if my brother-in-law divorces you in the future, then these fifteen will be all yours, and my brother-in-law doesn't have a penny." Chen Xiuwen quipped with a smile.
"He dares." Chen Xiuping said, glaring fiercely at Tang Wenbin, who was grinning. Tang Wenbin was so scared that he closed his mouth and said he didn't dare. This made the old man laugh. His children were promising, knew how to be filial, and were friendly and harmonious with each other. This was an indescribable relief for the old man.
However, when talking about the word divorce, Chen Xiuwen looked at Yu Wenwan. The old lady of the Yu family had passed away at the end of last year. I don’t know why Yu Wenwan has never filed for divorce with her.
Yu Wenwan's expression was indeed a little strange, and she quickly turned her face to avoid Chen Xiuwen's gaze.
After a joke, Chen Xiuwen said to the old man seriously: "Dad, the speed of relocating the factory to Wanxian will be accelerated. The current situation is getting more and more tense, and maybe the war will start one day. Besides, our current penicillin has also been successful. If you lose a little, just lose a little."
The Shen family's factories have been relocated to Wanxian one after another since half a year ago. On the one hand, the factory is being built there, and on the other hand, the business in Shanghai is indeed very good, and the old man is reluctant to let it go, so the relocation speed is very slow.
"Yes, dad, I think what I said makes sense. We have to speed up, otherwise if this battle really starts and Shanghai is lost, it will be all cheaper for the Japanese." Tang Wenbin also said hurriedly. The stock appreciates, Penicillin is successfully developed, and Tang Wenbin has now regarded his brother-in-law as a golden finger.
The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded helplessly and said, "Then speed up the move to move all the flour mills and textile mills to Wanxian. Let's keep some shops in Shanghai for the time being. In addition, after moving to Wanxian, you must have sufficient raw materials. If a war really starts, as long as the Japanese cannot fight Wanxian, we may continue to produce and make some contribution to the country."

"Team leader, we found that people in Iwai Mansion have been active recently. They have recently targeted an American." In the office of the Operation Team of the Reconnaissance Brigade of the Shanghai Guard Command, a man in a windbreaker and a polite manner reported to a young major.
This young major was nothing but intoxicated. Due to his outstanding performance in Shanghai, he has been appointed by Dai Li as the leader of the Operation Team of the Reconnaissance Brigade of the Shanghai Garrison Command. In addition, he continues to be responsible for the intelligence team rented by the Fuxing Society Special Service in Shanghai.
"A American? Who is the origin?" The twenty-two-year-old intoxicated looked so mature that the young man stopped the pen in his hand, frowned, and signaled the man in the windbreaker to continue talking.
"This American is James, who has been doing arms business in Shanghai a few years ago. In addition, a Chinese who came back from the United States with him, some people recognize him as Hong Junwei, the boss of Shanghai Dudeli Pawnshop."
"Hong Junwei?" Chen Zui was stunned and immediately attracted attention. After Chen Xiuwen introduced Hong Junwei to Chen Zui, the relationship between the two has always been good. However, after Hong Junwei went to the United States to do business a year ago, the two lost contact.
"And Chen Xiuwen, the new head of the Third Security Corps who was also training in Suzhou, has been with them all these two days. However, the Japanese seem to attach great importance to this James. Jiro Oshima, who is in charge of international affairs in Iwai Mansion, has been to the international hotel where they are staying several times in the past few days. I don't know why. However, according to our observation, Jiro Oshima seemed very angry when he left. After leaving, he went directly to the Japanese Consulate at No. 3 Minhang Road, Hongkou. In addition, Jiro Oshima arranged people in and outside the international hotel to focus on James and Hong Junwei." The man in the windbreaker reported the situation to Chen Zui in a singular manner.
If the Japanese just stared at James, they would not attract intoxicated attention. There are people from all countries in public rental areas, and it is also the largest intelligence trading center in the Far East. It is also common for spies from various countries to fight in Shanghai. Although he did not know what James' true identity was, it also involved Chen Xiuwen and Hong Junwei, so Chen Zuowen had to pay attention to it.
Chen Zui is a man who is grateful for his kindness. In his heart, he truly regards Chen Xiuwen as his elder brother. Moreover, the special nature of the newly formed Chen Xiuwen's Third Security Regiment has long attracted Chen Zui's attention. The two security regiments stationed in Shanghai were originally in charge of local public security were under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Security Command, but the Third Security Regiment directly obeyed the command of the Beijing-Shanghai Security General Command in Nanjing. The meaning of this, the clever Chen Zui quickly found the joints. If Chen Xiuwen was also targeted by the Japanese, it would obviously be quite unfavorable to him.
"Have Captain Chen returned to Suzhou now?" Chen Zui asked with a frown.
"Not yet." The man in the windbreaker replied quickly. He heard Chen Zui respect the title of Chen Xiuwen, and continued to report with some hesitation: "When I just came here, I happened to receive the following report. Commander Chen and James went to a public rental warehouse today, and then transported three trucks of things away, heading towards Suzhou. Later, Commander Chen went directly to Chen Mansion on Masnan Road. Team leader, we initially determined that Commander Chen and James were very likely to have an arms deal in private."
Chen Zui raised his head and glanced at the man in the windbreaker with a sharp look. The man in the windbreaker was shocked and quickly lowered his head, feeling a little regretful that he shouldn't have reported to the team leader about Chen Xiuwen's arms trading. Their surname is Chen, who knows what their relationship is.
"You must closely monitor Jiro Oshima every move, and pay special attention to all their actions against the Third Security Regiment."
"Yes, team leader." The man in the windbreaker quickly responded.
