The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 419: Don’t Let the Americans Interfere

Jiang Cheng gestured to her to "please sit down", but still smiled helplessly: "No matter what the urgent matter is, do we have to talk about it now? Okay, let's talk about business first."

As he said this, he winked at Hai Huixin, asking her to go downstairs and go to the front to help.

"Huixin is only two months away from giving birth, why are you still ordering her around?"

Yu Fengzhi shook her head at him and said, "You men - let's talk business first."

"I was talking to that American businessman today... He said his country was going to issue some kind of securities, and I was a little tempted; after all, it was something that was going to be linked to American industry."

"I've been thinking about it and want to discuss with you, should we use this as the next step in our contact with the Americans?"

Securities! ?
Jiang Cheng's heart skipped a beat. She must be talking about the stocks issued by Wall Street in the United States.

Even though in the 21st century, everyone with a little spare money wants to make money by speculating in stocks - but basically, there are very few people who can actually make money from that.

But things are different nowadays.

World War I was about to end. Relying on military industry and strong industrial development, the American economy was taking off rapidly. You could make a fortune by investing in a few stocks on Wall Street!

After Xiao Zhang was detained for the joint anti-Japanese war, Yu Fengzhi, who was recuperating in the United States, relied on Wall Street to make money to support the Zhang family.

And because she paid the money to bribe people, the imprisoned Xiao Zhang was not only safe, but also lived a more comfortable life than many senior members of the Fruit Party.

"Sister, you are really a genius in business!"

Jiang Cheng praised it highly, "Do it, do it, this deal must be done."

"Not only do we need to do it, we also need to do it on a larger scale... Their securities alone are not enough! In the future, our penicillin and the medicine that Third Sister researched must all be listed on Wall Street, and we must also make money from these Western masters!"

At this point, Jiang Cheng seemed very excited, "Sister, I have something to say that I have been wanting to say for a long time!"

"I've always heard Han Qing say that you were a spoiled rich girl. Now that I see you, I really understand why the handsome man is so confident that he can leave the family business to you."

Yu Fengzhi smiled at his praise, then shook her head and smiled: "Alas! Actually, sometimes I really envy those mothers like me."

"On weekdays, I can stay at home and play cards and go shopping... It's best to have a man like you, Feilan, to rely on."

Having said this, she quickly looked away again, "Let's talk about the second thing."

Jiang Cheng was a little dazed when he heard her words, but when she mentioned the business again, he calmed down and looked back.

In addition to the securities matter, under Yu Fengzhi's negotiations, two major arms deals and several deals related to metal smelting, gunpowder processing and other equipment were all very successful.

"But I really don't understand this matter..."

Yu Fengzhi took out the note she had just shown Jiang Cheng, "The Americans made a request, saying they wanted to invest in a pharmaceutical factory in Jilin, especially one that produces penicillin."

Jiang Cheng raised his eyelids and looked back at her: "Sister, how do you answer this?"

Yu Fengzhi shook her head: "I didn't say anything - you put all the blame on me, the commander-in-chief!"

"I said I didn't know about this medicine and wanted to talk to you about it."

Jiang Cheng laughed: "You are really my good sister! Yes, if you want my medicine, come and talk to me in person."

Even though he was smiling happily, he wasn't feeling relaxed at all.

These great powers surrounding China have indeed set their sights on penicillin.

But Jiang Cheng really didn't expect that in addition to the Japanese, the British, the French, and others, even the Americans were eyeing his penicillin.

And it should be said that these Americans are born businessmen. They acted as quickly as possible, and they even knew how to save the country in a roundabout way, starting with Yu Fengzhi! But it is also true that no matter whether it is typhoid fever or pneumonia, they are both considered "incurable diseases" in this era.

Penicillin can easily solve the problem, and according to Jiang Cheng's "sprinkle pepper" method, one can imagine how much of this treasure this young commander has on hand?

“It’s impossible for foreigners not to be jealous.”

Jiang Cheng said calmly, "Actually, I've thought about this a long time ago... But if we really cooperate with them, penicillin might leak out."

"If we allow these countries to obtain the manufacturing method of penicillin, then our own products may be competed with by them. No matter what kind of business it is, it is more profitable to have a monopoly, right?"

Yu Fengzhi looked at him with a confused look: "I understand. But I didn't say anything, not even the matter of Siping Pharmaceutical Factory."

Jiang Cheng nodded silently.

In fact, the most loyal and brave Hai Rushong was placed in Siping to guard against this.

Currently his most profitable bases, such as the pharmaceutical factory, mining, forestry... even the eight tons of gold are all there.

It seems that setting up Snow Fox in advance was a right move - if there was no special intelligence organization left in Siping, he really couldn't feel at ease.

Jiang Cheng thought about it, and considered his words carefully, intending to continue talking with Yu Fengzhi about whether they could cooperate with the Americans on power plants, etc., but he heard a loud bang coming from the study.

The two guards guarding the door immediately loaded their guns one after another under Ye Hai's instructions... However, when they saw that the person who broke into the room was Zhang Hanqing, their faces froze and they were both stunned.

"What are you standing there for? Just get in there!"

As the commander-in-chief's guard, Ye Hai immediately drew his weapon when he saw Zhang Hanqing's unfriendly look.

Fuck you, I recognize you as Master Jiang. Don’t mention you, Xiao Zhang. Even if it’s him, Old Zhang, who comes and breaks into my door, he will be beaten!

He rushed forward with his gun loaded, but before Ye Hai could make a move, Zhang Hanqing had already stood still.

Because his eyes met his wife's.

"What do you want to do?"

Yu Fengzhi almost lost her voice, "What kind of place is this that you can just barge into whenever you want?"

Speaking of losing face, this is really embarrassing!

His wife asked Jiang Feilan to go into his room in front of a large group of female relatives without even asking for his opinion.

You said you were discussing business, but weren't you actually just insulting him?

"Why are you asking me? I actually want to ask you what you are doing in the room with this Jiang Feilan?"

Zhang Hanqing's voice became louder and louder, and he even lost all respect for his appearance. "Oh, I finally understand... You and this guy have had a lot of heart-to-heart talks over the past six months, right?"

Yu Fengzhi became even angrier after hearing this, but her face soon showed infinite sadness.

She no longer wanted to continue the meaningless argument with this man, and instead calmed down instantly: "Now that we've come to this point, are you ready to divorce me?"

"Then you should quickly report back to our father and take back all the power in the family, so that you don't think... that I am a woman without any sense of propriety!"

Is that over?

Jiang Cheng felt a dry sensation on the back of his head. He always had a headache facing issues related to men and women. Moreover, this was a matter concerning the Northeastern King's family. Whether he said anything or expressed his opinion, he was afraid that he would not be able to avoid this pot of shit.
