Chapter 845: A Model of Sino-Japanese Cooperation
"Have you given the ticket to him?"
"Yeah, I'll give it." Yan Lei nodded.
Lu Xiyan didn't take it seriously yet. If he was willing to leave the United States and did not continue his unrealistic dream, he would be able to have a peaceful old age.
Strictly speaking, he is not a Chinese, but just a Belarus in exile in China. He colluded with the Japanese, and Lu Xiyan's hatred for him was not so strong.
"'Viper' asked Andre to get him a batch of explosives and detonators from the black market, as well as a Type 38 rifle and two cardinal bullets."
"Oh, he originally wanted to get a sniper rifle, but this kind of gun in the black market has been targeted by people for a long time, so it's not his turn. Besides, time is too fast, the Viper requires strong penetration, and the Type 38 rifle has strong penetration, so Andre recommended it to him."
"Yan Lei, Xiao Wu, you judge that what is Andrei's intention to buy these things?" Lu Xiyan frowned slightly and asked.
"Andre said that Zhang Xiaolin's housekeeper Li Mi has told the Viper where Eva, Frank and others are detained. Also, the information about your dinner at the New World Hotel tonight was also provided by Li Mi." Yan Lei said.
"What a good thing Zhang Xiaolin. While pretending to ask Chen Qi to come and tell me that he is willing to withdraw from the French Concession and ask me to give him three days, he leaked the news of my whereabouts to the 'Viper'. While comforting me and numbing me, he wanted to let the 'Viper' kill me. It's so scheming, hum!" Lu Xiyan snorted angrily.
"Sir, Zhang Xiaolin must not believe this person. He should get rid of it as soon as possible!" Yan Lei suggested.
"This requires long-term planning. The current task is to catch the 'viper' and not to worry about life and death." Lu Xiyan said. If a person gets crazy, it will be terrible.
"Yes."
"Sir, Viper's face is very recognizable. If he disguises himself as a hotel staff member, he will easily be recognized. So, I think he will not choose to disguise himself and enter the New World Hotel. He should look for a shooting point across the street from the New World Hotel and carry out long-distance sniping on Mr. Ma Xiaowu said, "This is the reason why he asked Andre to buy the Type 38 rifle at a high price from the black market."
"The effective range of the Type 38 rifle is only about 400 meters. Unless the gentleman gets out of the car or comes out of the gate, once he gets in the car, he will have no chance. Besides, whether he gets out of the car or comes out of the hotel gate, there will be someone to protect him, and he doesn't have many opportunities to start."
"For experts like the Viper, one or two seconds is enough." Ma Xiaowu said, "I suggest that you find someone to put on your husband's clothes and get off the bus disguised as a husband. When you leave, let the disguised person get on the bus first."
"I think Xiao Wu's suggestion is feasible. At night, even if the lights are bright, it is not that easy to see someone clearly at a distance of 200 meters." Yan Lei supported.
"I think he won't do this." Lu Xiyan shook his head, "There are three reasons. First, normal people can think of it. Besides, we will search the sniper locations that may be hidden in advance, unless he can find a hiding place that we can't imagine. Second, he asked Andre to prepare explosives and detonators for him. What is this? Is he trying to blow up the barracks of the Smoking Ban brigade alone and rescue Eva and others? Just because he is alone, three heads and six arms, I'm afraid he can't do it. Besides, Eva is seriously injured, even if he kills in, he may not be able to take the person away. Therefore, explosives and detonators are not used in this regard, but in himself. Third, he has a way to make himself in the New World Hotel and then appear in front of me."
"Sir, how is this possible? Our people have already entered the hotel in advance. How could he still get in?" Yan Lei said.
"You don't underestimate this 'viper'. He can travel across Southeast Asia for more than ten years without any harm. How can he be without any ability?" Lu Xiyan said, "Although I don't know how he would use to get into the hotel, I believe my judgment."
"Sir, Xiao Wu still thinks it is safer to find someone to disguise yourself as you." Ma Xiao Wu said.
"No, I get out of the car and won't stop. I will quickly enter the main entrance of the hotel. Even if he wants to kill me, I will not give him a chance to pull the trigger." Lu Xiyan said, "You just need to drive a good way for me."
"This seems to be OK. At that time, Xiaowu and I will protect you closely." Yan Lei said solemnly.
"Well, you both have to be careful and put the bulletproof steel plate I specially designed into it." Lu Xiyan explained, "Although it will affect some actions, it can save lives at critical moments."
"Yes, sir."
...
At 5:45, Lu Xiyan changed his clothes and was about to get off work. Ma Xiaowu drove over to pick him up and went to the New World Hotel. Although Zhou Fuhai was treating him tonight, he couldn't go too late.
In fact, when Zhou Fuhai arrived at the New World Hotel first, the owner of the New World Hotel was shocked. Wang was very popular in Shanghai.
With the support of the Japanese, the Wang family is very likely to ascend to the top and become the second-ranked figure of the Wang family group. Although Zhou Fuhai does not have any government official position, who can underestimate his future energy?
Such a "big man" actually invited guests to dinner at his hotel tonight. The general manager of the New World Hotel came out to greet him and gave up the best private room.
When I heard that the private room had been booked, the general manager's expression was very exciting.
Because, he seemed to know a great secret. It turned out that Zhou Fuhai was hosting a banquet at the New World Hotel tonight, which was Hua Dong Lu Xiyan and his wife of the French Concession Public Directorate Bureau.
If this news spreads, it will appear on the front page of all news newspapers tomorrow.
Of course, Zhou Fuhai didn't care that the news of his banquet for Lu Xiyan was leaked, which could lead to a certain fact. However, he did not want to offend Lu Xiyan too much, because Lu Xiyan was responsible for booking a hotel, so he did this just because he didn't want the outside world to know that he had a meal with Zhou Fuhai.
So, I also reminded the general manager not to publicize this matter to the public.
The owner of the New World Hotel immediately understood it. He knew that neither Zhou Fuhai nor Lu Xiyan were big shots, and he could not afford to offend any of his small managers.
The problem is, I am afraid that no one will know if he doesn't say it.
Ma Xiaowu drove, Lu Xiyan went to Zhendan University to pick up Meng Fanxing and headed to the New World Hotel. By the time he arrived, it was already dark.
The lights on Nanjing Road are brightly lit, which is the most prosperous commercial street on Shanghai. With the influx of a large number of refugees, a deformed prosperity has emerged under the relatively stable environment of the concession.
The poor are without any tiles covering their bodies, while the rich and the powerful still live a life of rich and rich. Even in the chaos of war, their quality of life has never had much impact.
The direction of the New World is in the southwest corner of the intersection between Nanjing Road and Tibet Road, adjacent to the famous racetrack. It can be said that whether it is day or night, it is one of the most lively places on the beach.
Yan Lei had arrived early and stood at the entrance of the hotel waiting for Lu Xiyan to arrive.
Lu Xiyan's bulletproof sedan is not only in the concession, but even in Shanghai, with a price of 30,000 US dollars each, not everyone can afford it or use it.
If someone cares about this, even if you can afford it, you may not be able to live there.
Not that no one has made any idea, but Lu Xiyan even dared to fight Zhang Xiaolin, and even confronted the other party and suffered heavy losses. Does anyone dare to easily attack him?
Now only the Japanese have the ability to start.
Will the Japanese take action?
At present, there seems to be no sign of this.
When he saw the bulletproof car Lu Xiyan was riding slowly towards him, Yan Lei immediately cut off half of the cigarette butt in his hand and gave his assistant Yan Jia a look. The two of them quickly sorted out their clothes and ran out quickly.
Ma Xiaowu had already parked the car steadily in front of the steps at the entrance of the hotel. The hotel doorman wanted to come and open the door, but was pulled open by Yan Lei who was rushing to come.
A Xiang got out of the car and opened the car door from the other side. Meng Fanxing got out of the car with a purple velvet cheongsam. On the other side, Yan Lei also opened the car door and Yan Jia left and right, blocking the angle when Lu Xiyan got out of the car.
When Meng Fanxing walked over the rear of the car, Lu Xiyan quickly held her hand, surrounded by Yan Lei and others, quickly climbed the steps and entered the hotel lobby.
When he entered the hotel lobby, Yan Lei breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Lu Xiyan: "Sir, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou have arrived at Shunfeng Hall."
"Well, let's go over." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"Brother Xiyan is here, please come!"
"Hello Brother Zhou." Lu Xiyan replied with his fists. Although he hated a traitor like Zhou Fuhai, at this time, he had to be slandered with such a person and pretend to be very happy.
"Sister Fanxing, their men have men's affairs, and our women have women's affairs. Let's go and talk there?" Yang Shuhui pulled Meng Fanxing over with great enthusiasm.
"It's time to serve the food." Zhou Fuhai's secretary said.
After a brief chat about home-cooked dishes, all kinds of dishes came, four cold dishes, and an appetizing hot soup, and the remaining dishes came one after another.
The four of them couldn't eat much, and they didn't come for it, so the choice of dishes was exquisite, delicious and light, which was the most suitable.
"Brother Xiyan, I made you spend money last time. Today, Brother Yu is a partner, do you have to drink more?" Zhou Fuhai smiled slightly and picked up the wine glass.
"It must be, Brother Zhou is too polite." Lu Xiyan also picked up the wine glass and said.
"Okay, cheers!"
"Don't just drink, eat, eat, eat." Yang Shuhui, a person who can liven up the atmosphere, frequently greeted, "Miss Fanxing, come on, this butterfly crispy, delicious."
"Thank you, Mrs. Zhou."
"Also called Mrs. Zhou, Sister Hui." Yang Shuhui angrily said.
"This is not suitable..." Meng Fanxing deliberately glanced at Lu Xiyan, with an expression that I had to obey my man.
"Meimei, since Mrs. Zhou looks down on you, why don't you change your words?" Lu Xiyan smiled. The name is not a trivial matter, but represents a kind of intimate relationship.
"Sister Hui." Meng Fanxing shouted softly.
"Oh, okay, Sister Fanxing, there will be someone talking in the future, you don't know..." Yang Shuhui was about to pour bitter water on her mouth when Zhou Fuhai coughed, and she immediately stopped her mouth and smiled awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay, eat vegetables, eat vegetables."
"Brother Xiyan, I heard that the Meng'an company under your name is discussing cooperation with Japan's Sato Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., is there such a thing?" After three cups and two cups, the atmosphere was much more harmonious. Zhou Fuhai put down his chopsticks, turned slightly, and asked solemnly.
"You even know about this, Brother Zhou?" Lu Xiyan said in his heart. Sure enough, but he still pretended to be surprised and asked.
"I also heard from one of my Japanese friends." Zhou Fuhai was in the officialdom for a long time and had already mastered his face. When he lied, he was not blushed and breathless.
"There is such a thing. Meng'an Company under my name has established a new drug research institute. Of course, with our current ability, it is not as good as that of new drugs. We use new drugs that have been launched abroad for reverse research. This is much easier. Although the purity of the drugs we have developed in the end is not as good as the other party, the efficacy can reach 70 to 80% of theirs. This is enough. We have studied the production and manufacturing process of an antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug sulfonamide through this method. However, due to the economic blockade, we have the technology but do not have equipment and capabilities to put it into production, so we have to seek partners. Now, we have roughly sought several domestic raw material factories, but lack some key equipment. We do not have these equipment, nor do we have any pharmaceutical factories in Shanghai. Sato Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. can import these equipment. So after they learned about it, they wanted to cooperate with me and build a factory in a joint venture." Lu Xiyan explained.
"Does that mean that if you don't cooperate with Sato, you won't be able to produce this medicine?"
"That's not necessarily the case. It's just that the medicines produced by existing equipment are not purified enough. If we use good equipment, we can achieve 80 to 90% of the original drug, but now it can only be about 60 or 70." Lu Xiyan said.
"So that's the case." Zhou Fuhai nodded, "Is that brother willing to cooperate with Sato Pharmaceutical?"
"Being able to produce better quality drugs is also a benefit to the people. This is a good thing. Moreover, our drugs will be much cheaper than similar imported drugs, and the efficacy can meet the basic requirements." Lu Xiyan said, "It's just that Sato Pharmaceuticals is too expensive."
"Oh, what do they want?"
"I will never agree to them if they want to take control of the pharmaceutical factory." Lu Xiyan said.
Zhou Fuhai nodded. The things he had worked hard to study were equivalent to his own children. No one would want to hand them over to others.
“What else?”
"Just this one, how about the others?" Lu Xiyan smiled.
"That's right, come on, cheers." Zhou Fuhai and Lu Xiyan clinked the glass, "Brother Xiyan, can you trust Brother Yu once? Leave me to discuss the matter of the pharmaceutical factory cooperation and holding?"
"Brother Zhou can make concessions to Sato Pharmaceutical?" Lu Xiyan pretended to be surprised.
"You and I are both our own people, so there is no reason why our own people don't help us. If this matter is completed, it will definitely become a good story for Sino-Japanese corporate cooperation. Brother Yu must have worked hard to promote it." Zhou Fuhai said with a smile.
"Then I would like to thank Brother Zhou. If I can promote cooperation, I will thank you very much." Lu Xiyan said.
