The banquet officially began with Elvis saying a few words, specifically mentioning that a distinguished friend had come from Jinling. Young Master Song did not attend the banquet and wanted to personally entertain them, so he went straight upstairs.

It wasn't originally a birthday party. Those who came and went were all powerful figures in Shanghai with high status. Naturally, they were not there to participate in a birthday party.

As they clinked glasses, the people coming and going were whispering about the situation in Shanghai and trying to find out what news each other was hearing.

Lin Mu also saw Fu Yongchen and John, and walked up to greet them with Iwai Qiongzi.

"Mr. John, long time no see." Lin Mu stretched out his hand and shook hands with him with a smile.

"Mr. Matsui is indulging in the pleasures of life and seems to have forgotten all about business. I am so disappointed." John's attitude was cold and he looked at Lin Mu with dissatisfaction.

John was not only a businessman, but also a spy from France.

The spies who came to Shanghai did not come purely to obtain intelligence. For example, John came to Shanghai to do business and make more money.

To achieve the goal, anything is possible.

This step will not be easy, but John is still determined to try it, which shows how difficult it is.

Lin Mu did not take any action for a long time. The longer the weapons were in stock, the higher the price they could be sold for.

Working capital is also the capital for doing business. Without sufficient working capital, John's trading company would be on the verge of collapse and his employees would have no income.

Of course, Lin Mu had contacted him before.

There are few people who can afford this batch of weapons, but there are some!

For example, Boss Dai was very interested.

The Secret Service Bureau was about to be reorganized into the Military Control Commission, which would officially have its own army.

The military’s equipment does not come out of thin air, and don’t expect anyone to distribute the equipment to you. You still have to buy it yourself!

Shanghai is the largest trade cluster, and Mr. Dai is very interested in it.

The Secret Service is constantly on the move, doing business and cracking down on smuggling, all for the sake of making money!

It is a rare hope for reform, and Boss Dai will not give up. Even without Lin Mu mentioning it, he will take action immediately after the establishment of the Military Control Commission.

The reason why we haven’t contacted the seller yet is, firstly, money issue and secondly, it’s because they are Japanese.

Lin Mu walked up to John and lowered his voice: "In half a year at most, the value of the weapons will increase, and the weapons in Mr. John's hands will become very popular."

John said dismissively: "Mr. Matsui, you and I are both businessmen. Don't we know the importance of working capital?"

"Half a year has passed, and with the situation changing so dramatically, I believe there is indeed a way to solve the problem, but...it's not that simple."

"I'm not going to do anything for the past six months? I'm not going to do any sulfa drugs anymore?"

John was very angry and glared at Lin Mu, "Ms. Matsui, you disappoint me so much! I refuse to work with you again. You disappoint me so much!"

John could hardly conceal his anger, and Iwai Yoko was confused. She didn't understand how John could refuse to cooperate after waiting for half a year.

Only Lin Mu knew that although John looked like a spy, he actually came to Shanghai for business.

In John's eyes, making John wait for half a year without shipping the goods was intentional!

This is either to make him more money or to deliberately cheat him!

Saying no is a refusal to help.

The cooperation on drugs such as sulfa drugs will take a long time to proceed.

A steady flow of working capital is very necessary. Without working capital circulation, John would not be able to buy so much sulfonamide.

The cessation of fighting on the front lines does not mean that drug prices will be brought down.

The Japanese secretly purchased sulfa drugs. There were not many sulfa drugs on the market. The hospital only had a few, but those were not enough.

When seriously injured patients use sulfa drugs, the hospital becomes the focus of attention and it will be difficult to deal with the situation.

These are all excuses and reasons.

What John wants is long-term development, and purchasing medicines is also a long-term arrangement. Delaying the sale of weapons will be considered a dishonest act.

"Mr. John, I'm asking for your opinion." Lin Mu pulled John over and said gently, "The business needs to be done as quickly as possible. I have a good idea of ​​what to do."

"This batch of weapons is quite large, and I can't sell it immediately if I want to."

"During this period, I have also tried my best to invite friends to act as matchmakers to find a suitable buyer. I have no selfish motives at all!"

John couldn't hide his doubt in his eyes: "Really?"

"This can't be true anymore!"

After much talking, John softened his attitude and gave the final three months.

If the weapons cannot be sold within three months, John will completely terminate the cooperation.

Lin Mu shrugged helplessly: "Three months is a tight time."

Fu Yongchen's face was solemn. He looked around and saw Ji Yunqing in the crowd. He whispered, "Three months is indeed a tight schedule. If nothing works, we'll have to find a new partner."

"Sulfa is a controlled drug, and there are not many stable purchasing channels."

"John has a large amount of sulfanilamide in his hands, and a big company is behind him. Do you think he's easy to deal with?"

"From John's perspective, the sulfa business is sustainable in the long term and has better prospects."

"The profits from this batch of weapons were too tempting. We couldn't resist the temptation, so we sold this batch of weapons."

John was unlucky. It took the three northeastern provinces a long time to raise funds to purchase weapons, and it just so happened that John encountered a major event that shocked both China and the world.

Trouble had already occurred before the weapons had even been used, and it was difficult to extricate oneself.

The Japanese also extended their hand and imposed quite a few restrictions.

Once restrictions are imposed, there will be limitations and pressure on what to do, so it’s not surprising that anything goes wrong.

With this move, John's weapons transportation became a top problem. Only a few people could get passes, so finding a better buyer was also an option.

This batch of weapons will be gathering dust in the warehouse.

Of course, weapons also helped, including several sniper rifles.

The sniper rifle on the battlefield is used as an assassination weapon, and it took a lot of effort to get it.

Fu Yongchen looked at Ji Yunqing intentionally or unintentionally, and seemed to be ready to make a move. While Iwai Qiongzi went to get food, Lin Mu whispered.

"I have made arrangements. You and I are both being targeted. Kuroki Ling is right next to Ji Yunqing."

"What arrangements? Today is the deadline. Ji Yunqing won't leave the mansion after today, so it will be difficult to take action."

"Neither you nor I can move. The consulate's spies are keeping a close eye on us. We can't leave. If we get close, we'll be apprehended."

Fu Yongchen was unwilling, but he also knew that he couldn't take action at the banquet.

There are Japanese everywhere around Ji Yunqing, which is also a trap set to lure him into the trap!

The Japanese deliberately used Ji Yunqing to set a trap, knowing that they would be the ones to show up.

but........

Lin Mu never thought about showing up from the beginning to the end!

Ji Yunqing is not so easy to kill. China and Japan have not yet gone to war, and the leaders of the Qing Gang are also wavering. If they cannot think about their choice in advance, it will also bring trouble.

From what we have seen so far, it is not difficult to see that Kuroki Zero’s ultimate target is still him!

After arriving in Shanghai and passing all the tests conducted by Iwai Eiichi, he did not want to fall into the hands of Kuroki Rei.

If you want to doubt, let Kuroki Zero doubt!

I'm not afraid of Kuroki Rei's suspicion in the open, but I'm afraid of Iwai Eiichi behind the scenes.

The old devil’s sense of smell is too sharp!
