Xiong Danian was not surprised to hear that they had to pay extra. In his eyes, Zhang Yunhe was a businessman, and businessmen would not do anything without profit. It was impossible to expect them to help for free. Controlled drugs like sulfa drugs were not included in the shipping fee, and it was impossible to do so free of charge.

He asked, "Mr. Zhang, tell me the number!"

Zhang Yunhe stretched out two fingers.

"Two hundred dollars? Okay, I'll give it to you!" Xiong Danian agreed.

Zhang Yunhe shook his head. "Mr. Xiong, what are you thinking? Two hundred dollars and you think you can get through all these connections along the way? Even if the checkpoints along the way are easy to bribe, without special passes, do you think those soldiers would be so bold as to let the cargo truck pass?"

"Do you think the Japanese officials have never seen money? You can get rid of them with just a small amount of money? With less than two thousand dollars, this thing can't be done at all!"

Xiong Danian couldn't help but feel a pang of pain when he heard this. Two thousand dollars! He couldn't earn that much even after running a noodle shop for half a year.

In addition, this time we purchased 2100 boxes of sulfa drugs, at 42 yuan per box, a total of 50 yuan would be paid. In addition, we also had to purchase foreign cloth, matches, foreign cigarettes, etc., which added up to almost yuan.

The organization in Songhu simply couldn't come up with so much money, so the money was transferred from their hometown.

"Can it be a little less?" Xiong Danian still wanted to bargain for the price. He was not a rich man. The funds in the organization were hard-earned, so he had to be thrifty and save wherever he could.

Zhang Yunhe shook his head. "Mr. Xiong, you may not understand me. Considering that my wife and your wife are colleagues at the same school, this is already my lowest offer. Besides, I don't like to make huge profits in business, because huge profits can't last long. Only when both parties make money can the business be sustained!"

"Win-win cooperation is the golden rule in the business world and can create a good business environment!"

Seeing Zhang Yunhe say this, Xiong Danian knew there was no room for bargaining, so he immediately said, "Okay, 2000 yuan. Mr. Zhang, please calculate the total price of this batch of sulfonamides, including the shipping fee and the other goods on the list!"

Zhang Yunhe took out a Parker pen from his pocket and wrote the unit price after each item on the list, and then calculated the total price of all the goods.

"Mr. Xiong, the total is RMB. I'll round it off to RMB!"

After calculating and writing down the total amount of the goods, Zhang Yunhe handed the order to Xiong Danian.

Xiong Danian took it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Okay, I wonder when Mr. Zhang can deliver the goods?"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment and said, "It's not difficult to adjust the goods. It won't take much time. The key is to get a special pass. It's a bit troublesome. This will take some time, maybe two to three days. Mr. Xiong, please leave your contact information. I will notify you once all the preparations are done!"

"However... before 5 pm tomorrow, Mr. Xiong, please pay a deposit of yuan!"

After thinking for a while, Xiong Danian said, "I don't have a fixed office space either. How about this? If Mr. Zhang is ready, please ask Teacher Liu to talk to my wife and agree on the time and place for delivery and payment!"

"As for the deposit, I'll have my wife bring it to your wife on her way to school tomorrow, and then she'll pass it on to you, Madam?"

Zhang Yunhe thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Mr. Xiong, this isn't right, absolutely not right. If we were only trading the goods on the list, it wouldn't matter what method we used. But this batch of goods contains two hundred boxes of sulfanilamide. If the Japanese find out, it could cost us our lives. I can't involve my wife in this!"

"Even if I'm captured by the Japanese, my wife, a woman, won't be in danger of losing her life if she's unaware of the situation. But if she gets dragged into this, our family will be wiped out!"

Hearing Zhang Yunhe say this, Xiong Danian was shocked. He secretly blamed himself for being careless and not thinking things through. He immediately slapped his forehead and said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It's my fault for not considering this!"

After thinking for a moment, he wrote down his noodle shop's phone number on a piece of paper, handed it to Zhang Yunhe, and said, "Mr. Zhang, if you're ready, call me! Also, I'll come to Yihua Foreign Trade Company to see you at 8 a.m. tomorrow with a yuan deposit. What do you think?"

Zhang Yunhe took the note, glanced at the number, looked up and said, "Okay, that's settled!"

He raised his glass again and said, "Mr. Xiong, I wish our cooperation a successful one!"

Xiong Danian also raised his glass and clinked it with Zhang Yunhe, and they both drank it in one gulp.

Soon, Liu Huilan and Teacher Chen both returned from outside. The four of them chatted for a while before going home.

After leaving Zuixianlou, Xiong Danian and Teacher Chen walked side by side on the street. Xiong Danian told Teacher Chen about his conversation with Zhang Yunhe during the dinner.

After hearing this, Teacher Chen said, "This matter is too dangerous. I always feel that it is inappropriate to involve Huilan's husband, but now that things have come to this, it's a bit too late to talk about it!"

Xiong Danian sighed and said, "If we had any other options, we wouldn't have resorted to this desperate measure. I know this matter has put Huilan in a difficult position. You should talk to her carefully over the next few days!"

Teacher Chen said, "Hui Lan does have a broad perspective and isn't so narrow-minded! By the way, what do you think of Hui Lan's husband? You've been talking to him for so long, so you should have some idea of ​​him, right?"

Xiong Danian thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it? Although Mr. Zhang is young, he gives me the impression of being very mature and experienced. When you get along with him, he gives you a sense of reliability and trust! He's a comprador for a foreign company, a businessman, but he doesn't have the cunning, mercenary, and slyness of other businessmen. Instead, he gives you a sense of integrity!"

The next morning, Zhang Yunhe arrived at the Yihua Foreign Company to report for duty. After seeing the manager Jefferson, he handed over the payment for the weapons, equipment and ammunition of the last division.

"That batch of weapons and ammunition has been sold out, with a total sales of 90 US dollars!" Zhang Yunhe placed two boxes on Jefferson's desk.

The moment he saw the money, Jefferson's heart, which had been hanging in the air, was completely at ease. This time, Zhang Yunhe was able to sell that batch of arms so quickly, without causing any trouble, and the money was returned in time. This made him value and trust Zhang Yunhe even more.

After counting the payment for the goods and confirming that there was no problem, Jefferson took out 20,000 US dollars from his suitcase and placed it in front of Zhang Yunhe. This was the commission amount that he and Zhang Yunhe had agreed to pay.

"Then I won't be polite!" Zhang Yunhe put the money away with a smile. In fact, he had already taken out 100,000 yuan before, but who would complain about having too much money?

"By the way, the arms market is booming right now, Jefferson. Do you think you could ship some more over? With the war going on now, the demand for weapons and ammunition in Jiangzhou is increasing day by day. No matter how much you ship over, you won't have trouble selling it!"

Jefferson nodded and said, "You're right. I've discussed this with a few friends and we're planning to ship another ship over. Do you think we can open up a market for our French goods here?"

Zhang Yunhe smoked a cigarette and said, "As long as it's weapons and ammunition, no matter what country they're from, there's no shortage of markets here. The key is the channel. Channel, you understand? Even if you can ship the weapons and ammunition replaced by your French army to me, I can guarantee that I can sell them to you!"

"I heard that your French army has several large arsenals in Annan. If we can find a way to get the weapons there, even if they're second-hand, we can make a lot of money!"

If he was not really unable to leave, Zhang Yunhe really wanted to go to Annan. With the space in his backpack, he could sneak into those arsenals and quickly move out all the weapons and ammunition.
