Beiyang 1917

Ten minutes later, on the large sofa at the side of the general manager's office of Pfizer, Wang Geng leisurely raised his legs. Nurse Kaili was beside him. Hershey's chocolate candies from the sugar bowl do the trick.

If General Manager John Anderson hadn't happened to see an in-depth interview with a New York life-saving hero named Wang Geng on the front page of the "New York Times" published that day, it would not have been so easy for him to be invited.

Pfizer is the largest supplier of citric acid in the United States. During the recent period, General Manager John Anderson’s threshold has been broken by buyers in the food, pharmaceutical, and industrial fields all over the United States. It is impossible to make an appointment with this guy a week in advance. impossible.

Even if Wang Geng is a news figure and a life-saving hero, Old John has devoted all his energy to finding the import of citric acid raw materials, and only dealt with those distributors and wholesalers who came because Pfizer could not deliver on time. Just let him burn out!

Pfizer's new laboratory, with the efforts of the company's chief chemist James Curry and his young assistant Jasper Kane, is developing a new citric acid production process day and night, but half a year has passed with little success.

As Italy exports less and less citrus juice, Pfizer's stock of raw materials is only enough to meet one month's production needs, which is still in the case of a 50% reduction in production capacity.

So when the young man in the hall said the words citric acid raw material to his secretary Anna on the phone, Anna, who knew the root cause of her boss’s recent emaciation, boldly suggested that her boss give this young man 5 minutes of time.

"So you're here with a prescription for a solution to Pfizer's problems? Of course, my secretary and I have a lot of admiration for your leap from the Brooklyn Bridge the day before yesterday!"

John Anderson was sitting on the sofa, squeezing the cigar in his hand, and looking at the New York hero in front of him. The girl beside him was really good-looking!Is it a nurse or a girlfriend?

During this period of time, Old John, who was devastated by the citric acid, was also impressed by the combination of the handsome man and the beautiful woman in front of him.

Of course, like most Westerners at the time, Anderson’s understanding of the yellow race was limited to hard work, willingness to endure hardship, timidity, and poor language skills. It was difficult for people to understand the dialect of southern China.

Kelly concentrated on choosing the Hershey's chocolates in the sugar bowl on the coffee table. After being disgusted by the terrible British Cadbury lemon candy from Morgan's company, the girl's favor for the chocolate produced by the American confectionary giant Hershey increased greatly.

"You are right, Mr. Anderson, I am here for the future of Pfizer, of course, it depends on what price you are willing to pay!

I believe that citric acid has become a shortage of materials in the world. After all, Italy only produces so much citrus. As the war progressed, the output of citrus juice dropped sharply. The whole world is facing the shortage of citric acid! "

Wang Geng talked eloquently, while licking the chocolate sticking to his teeth with his tongue regardless of his image.

Nima, this 1917 grandma's Hershey's chocolate tastes better than Cadbury's, sweet but not greasy, fragrant and pleasant, just like the beautiful nurses around her.

Sugar and sweets are natural pleasure agents. Wang Geng looked at the beautiful nurse beside him who was focused on picking up chocolates. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was much more eye-catching than when he was in the VIP reception room of Morgan's company.

Could this be the difference between chocolate and lemon drop?

In fact, this guy doesn't even think about it. Anna outside Pfizer's office here is a middle-aged woman in her early forties, and the old John in front of her has gray hair.

And just now in Morgan's reception room, Kelly was facing a beautiful account manager who was in her prime. The potential repulsion and comparison between the two women was of course incomparable to the current relaxed atmosphere.

While listening to Wang Geng's big talk, John Anderson lit a match and lit the cigar in front of him. This fellow thought to himself,

"This kid is just brave enough to dive into the water to save people. A Chinese cadet at West Point Military Academy, no matter how good he is, looks at him in his early twenties. He has no reason to have any inventions in chemical engineering? Is it just a superficial Can't you talk big and liar?"

"If you don't believe me, I can find other companies to cooperate with. I believe that whether it is in New York, in the United States, or in the whole world, there are countless companies waiting for the invention of new technology and formula of citric acid!"

Wang Geng stood up with a bluff and wanted to leave. What this guy lacks most now is time. Being able to return to China one day earlier to take care of the Beiyang business has been weighing heavily on his heart like a worry.

"Young man, don't be impatient. If I was as rough as you when I was young, I would not be the general manager of Pfizer!" John Anderson calmly lit the cigar in his hand and said with a smile.

Wang Geng didn't intend to really leave at all, so he took advantage of the situation and sat down. The old John opposite him puffed out his smoke, which aroused his craving for cigarettes. one time.

Anderson made a gesture of invitation, and the guy happily sat back on the sofa, completely ignoring the eyes of the beautiful nurse who stuffed a mouthful of chocolate next to him, which could kill ants.

"Do as the Romans do, Nurse Kelly. This is Mr. Anderson's office. Instead of smoking other second-hand smoke, I'd rather enjoy myself!" Wang Geng said with a smile while lighting a match and smoking the cigar in his hand.

"Mr. Anderson, if it's convenient, why don't you ask your secretary to take my personal nurse out for a breath of fresh air. The two of us muttering here may affect the beauty's health!"

"Ha, young man, you are right, this is my negligence!" Anderson smiled and told the secretary who came in with coffee,

"Anna, please take this lady to visit our company's new product showroom. It seems that many of Hershey's new chocolate samples are displayed on the coffee table in the showroom."

Under Wang Geng's calm but persistent gaze, Miss Kaili reluctantly followed her secretary Anna out, and when she went out, she turned her head and made a gesture to Wang Geng to wait and see!

"Mr. Wang, your nurse service is really considerate. Haven't you been discharged from the hospital yet? Such a beautiful girl, even an old man like me is heartbroken. You are really willing to let her go!"

Anderson joked about Wang Geng. In the legendary general manager of Pfizer, his caring and gentle attitude towards employees is his true character.

In fact, even in the history of the previous life, Pfizer did not voluntarily dismiss any employees even during the Great Depression and the most difficult period.

This kind of humanistic feeling of being in the same boat is also the reason why Wang Geng chooses Pfizer as his first choice as a partner at this moment!

The old man now felt a little guilty for losing his temper with his chief chemist James on the phone just now. After talking with the young man in front of him, he planned to go to the laboratory to appease his subordinates in person.

Wang Geng stopped talking, the old and the young just sat on the sofa, smoking a cigar and looking at each other.

Nima, I finished smoking a cigar and you still circle around with me, then I will pat my ass and leave!Wang Geng narrowed his eyes and thought in his heart.

"Okay! Young man, I'm very interested in the new citric acid technology you mentioned. If, I mean, if your new technology proves to be effective, Pfizer and I will offer you a satisfactory price!"

Anderson finally couldn't hold back, and spoke first!

"How much is Pfizer's total assets?" Wang Geng asked abruptly.

"Uh..." Anderson was taken aback by the sudden question. The young man in front of him is too careless. Seeing that you are only a West Point student at a young age, you were just talking about citric acid. How dare you call Pfizer in a blink of an eye? The company's idea?

The general manager of Pfizer couldn't help bursting into anger!

As the largest citric acid manufacturer in the United States, there are always many competitors of Pfizer and consortiums trying to acquire Pfizer, but the guy in front of him is just a Chinese youth in his early twenties, which makes Old John feel emotionally unacceptable!
