Chapter 190 Money magic power
After Xu Bing left, Li Yunsheng went to the International Settlement to find his cousin Li Yuntao. As soon as the two met, Li Yuntao said excitedly, "Thank God, you are safe and sound."

Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "I am lucky and fateful. The Japanese bullets cannot hit me. Besides, I have not been on the front line. My life is still somewhat guaranteed."

Li Yuntao sighed and said: "Since the outbreak of this war, I learned that you also came to Shanghai to participate in the war. I have been worried about you, and I have asked people to inquire about your situation many times, but the war was very fierce. It's a mess, and I can't get any specific information about you at all, but now that you appear without missing arms or legs, I can be relieved."

Li Yunsheng said with emotion: "My second brother is so worried, my younger brother is a little bit sorry."

Afterwards, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Li Yuntao said, "You came to see me this time because you have something to do, otherwise you wouldn't have time to come to me if the war is so tense."

Li Yunsheng said indifferently: "There is one thing. Before the war, I sent a telegram to my second brother, asking you to try your best to stock up on some medicines, especially life-saving medicines like sulfonamide. I don't know how you are doing."

Three months before the outbreak of the war, Li Yunsheng sent a telegram to his cousin Li Hongwen in Shanghai, asking him to try his best to store a large amount of medicines and daily necessities in the concession, so Li Yunsheng told Zhang Hao that he had enough medicines , enough to treat all wounded.

Hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Li Yuntao said with a smile: "I have fully stocked two warehouses of medicines, most of which are produced by our own pharmaceutical factory, and I also collected some from other places. As for the precious sulfonamide, our pharmaceutical factory It can't be produced at all, and you know it's expensive, and the output is not particularly high, so I only got more than 100 boxes, about 2000 sticks."

Although there are already a lot of these medicines, which are enough for thousands of wounded, they are a drop in the bucket for the whole of China. Li Yunsheng can only take care of himself first, and then help others conditionally, and he can also use these medicines to make friends with some soldiers. The lieutenant general then said: "Second brother, please arrange a few people to transport me some medicines to the French Concession, enough to treat hundreds of people. As for sulfonamide, bring me five boxes too." Give Li Yuntao his address in the French Concession.

Li Yuntao didn't hesitate either. He is the president of Bank of America, he has a lot of people under him, and he has a big American brand. There is no problem in doing these things, so he readily agreed, then hesitated, and said : "Yunsheng, the price of medicines is now ten times higher than before the war, especially sulfonamides, which are priced like gold on the black market, and there is no market for them, and we have enough medicines, should we sell some of them. "

Li Yunsheng immediately said: "Second brother, I have great use for these medicines, and with my current status, I don't need to use them to make a profit, so I don't want to do it." However, he felt a little emotional in his heart. Capitalists, seeing the huge profits to be made, will inevitably move their minds, but these medicines are now impossible to buy with money, and there is still great use in keeping them in their hands, so they will not agree.

Li Yuntao nodded, and then said: "Okay, since you said so, I will listen to you, anyway, you are the owner of these medicines." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Yunsheng, and his tone was a bit unwilling.

Li Yunsheng couldn't help feeling the magic of money, even his cousin who is a banker, so he said: "Cousin, you have seen big scenes, why care about these small profits, and in the three months before the war , I will inform you of the news, and with your means, you will also make a lot of profits in other places."

Li Yuntao said dissatisfiedly: "Where is the petty profit? Half of these medicines are sold, which is a profit of several million dollars. But with your worth, I am afraid you really don't care." Then he said with a smile: "This time I entrusted you Fortunately, I made a lot of money, especially the purchase of some real estate and biological materials before the war, and I also made a profit of several million dollars."

Li Yunsheng immediately said: "That's it, second brother, we all have ways to make money, so don't make black-hearted money for medicines, after all, we are all Chinese."

Liu Yuntian smiled awkwardly, and after thinking for a while, he said mysteriously: "Yunsheng, I have a friend who is an officer of the US Navy. He found me quietly a few days ago and said that there are now a group of soldiers in the Pacific Fleet. Arms, let me find a buyer for him, do you want to get involved in this matter."

Li Yunsheng immediately asked: "How many arms are there, are they made by the United States or other countries?" It has been more than a month, so the domestic weapons are somewhat insufficient now.

Li Yuntao did not play charades either, and simply said: "They are all made in the United States. There is probably a division's equipment, but they are all light weapons. If you want, I will give you the list."

Although they are all light weapons, Li Yunsheng is also very satisfied that there are so many weapons. After all, no matter who Li Yunsheng gives him to such a large number of weapons, it is a great favor, so he said: "I want all the weapons. , you give me the list as soon as possible."

Li Yuntao said bluntly: "Okay, I will contact him in a while, but you also know that because it is a wartime, the price of these weapons has doubled compared to before the war."

Li Yunsheng said straightforwardly: "The price is no problem, but can you guarantee that these weapons will be transported to Shanghai? And you also know that these items must be transported to the rental industry, so that they will be valuable only if they fall into the hands of the national army that is fighting." Li Yunsheng now They are rich and powerful, and they don't care about the money at all. Even if the equipment is doubled, it is only a million dollars, which is nothing more than a drizzle.

Li Yuntao said confidently: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with this. Senior officers of the Pacific Fleet participated in this matter. Even these equipments are also in the inventory of the active US Marine Corps. As far as I know, there are several senior officers I want to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune, so I did this, the concession authorities will not be troublesome at all."

Li Yunsheng thought about it, and then said softly: "Second brother, the war between China and Japan will last for a long time, so if you have the opportunity, you can get in touch with these people more and use their way to bring in more arms. .”

Li Yuntao immediately said: "That's okay. The US economy has recovered a bit, but it's not too good. As long as there is money to be made, many arms dealers will ignore the government's ban."

Afterwards, the two discussed other matters and agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon, Li Yunsheng turned and left.

Not long after returning to the French Concession, Li Yuntao sent someone to bring some medicines. After putting these medicines away, Li Yunsheng told Zhang Hao: "These medicines will be handed over to you. If there are not enough medicines, I can still get them, so Don’t save too much, don’t delay the recovery of our people just to save medicine.”

Zhang Hao said seriously: "Don't worry, chief, I will make arrangements," but he felt a little emotional, thinking that Li Yunsheng really prepared a lot of back-ups, and he got the medicine so quickly.

Li Yunsheng nodded, and after thinking about it, he said, "We just made a vote last night, so the Japanese must have been very careful in the past two days. In addition, we are short of manpower, and the supplementary troops also need to be repaired." , I plan to let the brothers take a good rest these two days, and wait a few days for action, what do you think?" Zhang Hao is the most flexible mind among Li Yunsheng's gang, so he asked his opinion.

Zhang Hao said softly: "Section Chief, I also think it can be rested for two days, but will there be any objections from the Corps headquarters?"

Li Yunsheng said lightly: "Commander Chen told me to give up other goals and focus on the supply of poison gas bombs for the Japanese army. I don't think I have any objections. My only worry is that the Japanese will spend a lot of poison gas bombs during the past two days. Send the ammunition to the front line," he said, repeating the tasks assigned by Chen Xiucheng.

After Zhang Hao listened, he said, "Section Chief, since the Japanese poison gas bombs were shipped from the Northeast, they must have been transported by sea, so we only need to send people into the Japanese-occupied areas to keep an eye on the Japanese bombs." The pier will do, after all, arms transportation is nothing else, especially poison gas bombs, they must be escorted by warships.”

Li Yunsheng immediately smiled and said: "Fortunately, I discussed it with you, otherwise, I really wouldn't have thought of this in a while." He also felt limited in his heart that he hadn't even thought of this point, which seemed to be negligence.

Zhang Hao immediately said: "Chief, you must be too tired these days, so you are a little negligent, so take this opportunity to take a rest."

Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "It's not so easy," then changed the subject and said: "Since you thought of the solution, I will leave it to you."

Zhang Hao said with a little embarrassment: "Chief, the pier is now Japanese territory. Our people have passed by, and it is easy to be discovered. After all, they don't understand Japanese, and a random Japanese soldier will be exposed if they ask questions."

Li Yunsheng slapped his head, sighed and said, "I'm confused. It seems that I have lost energy these two days. Well, you just need to arrange the wounded. I will arrange for others." Immediately, there was a candidate in his mind. It is Zhou Wei who has been lurking in Shanghai for several years. He knows Japanese, so it is most suitable for him to do this, and tonight is the day to meet Liuzhu Murakami, so I just explain this matter to him.

Zhang Hao nodded immediately, and reported some other situations to Li Yunsheng, called a few people, took some medicines and went to SH urban area.
