Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 749 tit for tat
Zhao Bingjun carefully looked at the mafia tycoon in front of him. He was over 50 years old, his upper body was a little bloated, the skin on his face was more or less slack, the sparse locks of hair had all turned white, and his eyes were deeply sunken. , giving an unfathomable feeling.

Zhao Bingjun winked at his two personal guards, meaning not to act rashly, then ordered them to make two steaming cups of coffee, changed his sitting position on the large leather seat, pointed to the sofa next to him and said: " Sit down and drink coffee."

Corleone sat on the sofa unceremoniously, took out an exquisite cigar from his arms, lit it by the bodyguard, and exhaled a puff of thick smoke, and said to Zhao Bingjun: "I heard that the most famous Mr. Zhao Bingjun in the world When I came to Rome as a guest, as a native Italian, I felt that it was necessary to pay a visit as soon as possible.”

Zhao Bingjun stared at the other party quietly and said, "Really? I was still worried about having a meeting with Mr. Corleone, but I didn't expect you to come here on my own initiative."

"Oh? Is Mr. Zhao looking for something? You are the head of the intelligence agency. I'm just an ordinary Italian businessman. What can I do?" Corleone's acting skills are no worse than Zhao Bingjun.

Zhao Bingjun smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that the famous Don Vito and the Italian Mafia have become businessmen again? Hehe, why don't you open the skylight and speak plainly. I am entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor this time. Rome is discussing with your country about the Afghan affairs, but your Excellency, the Prime Minister, seems to respect you very much, and also said that the one who can really influence the Congress at present is not the Mafia, or you can say that you are Mr. Corleone."

Corleone smiled proudly and said: "Your Excellency, what you said is too exaggerated. The mafia only helps to maintain local order when necessary. You know that after World War II, the political situation in Italy was very turbulent. It doesn’t take that much money to support the local police, but the Italian people also yearn for a peaceful and peaceful life, so this important task falls on the Mafia. We are helping to do things, and there may be some supporters in Congress , Speaking of controlling the political situation, how is that possible?"

Zhao Bingjun said: "Whether it's true or not, anyway, when you arrive in Italy, you must first get through the joint of the Mafia. I hope that Mr. Corleone can deal with it."

Corleone said: "Since Mr. Zhao proposed it, it would be too unreasonable for me to refuse. Well, let's go straight to today's topic, you have the largest intelligence agency in the world, and I have the largest intelligence agency in the world." Underground organization, if we can unite and become friends, I think that kind of power is enough to change the world!"

Zhao Bingjun squinted his eyes and looked at Corleone, thinking that this old guy really has a lot of ambitions. It is beyond his capabilities for a shady mafia leader to cooperate with the dignified Chinese Security Bureau, "I don't know what Mr. Corleone wants. How to cooperate."

Corleone leaned forward and said in a hoarse voice: "A business that can bring huge profits is popular in the world now. As long as you invest one yuan, you can get at least 50 yuan, and it is guaranteed that you will only make no money. pay."

"Oh? Is there still such a business? Although my surname Zhao is not a businessman, I have always liked money. Tell me what it is."

Speaking of asking the bodyguard to take out a small tinfoil bag from the leather bag, and put it in front of Zhao Bingjun, Corleone opened the paper bag himself, and saw a white powdery crystal object inside, which looked nothing special, and there was nothing wrong with it. What a special taste.

"This is the first time I've heard of this name. Can you make a lot of money with this thing?" Zhao Bingjun asked.

"Yes, you can buy it for the same price as gold in some places."

Zhao Bingjun felt a little unbelievable, pinched a handful in his hand with his fingers, and looked carefully, but still didn't see any mystery.

Corleone smiled and said, "Let me explain. This kind of thing is purified from opium. It has a much higher purity and is more potent than opium. It is currently only circulated on the black market, and the purity of the variety is different."

As soon as Zhao Bingjun heard the word "opium", he shook off his finger as if bitten by a snake, and said to Corleone, "To put it bluntly, this thing used to be called opium cream, but now it's called drugs. "

"It can be said that the commercial prospect of the drug is extremely broad. It adopts the method of intravenous injection, and its effect is as fast as lightning. The whole body, head, and nerves will produce a kind of explosive pleasure, like 'lightning'. 2~3 Within hours, most users are immersed in a semi-anesthetic state, only the pleasure exists, and other feelings are gone. After the ecstasy, they have nothing else to think about, only interested in the white powder, and only want to re-inhale the white powder. Because the pleasure is very fast Disappear, followed by the tolerance, dependence and habit of drugs. As the time of drug use prolongs, more and more drugs are needed to produce the original effect, otherwise it will not be addictive. Drug tolerance continues to increase. At this time , once the white powder is cut off and enters the body, the withdrawal symptoms after addiction are very severe, and the painful torment is waiting for him. The nostalgia for "lightning" and the painful experience of withdrawal make drug addicts fall into a poison pool, Involuntary, unable to extricate themselves. For those who smoke it, they will not hesitate to spend the last dollar around them." Corleone seemed to be narrating a very ordinary thing.

Zhao Bingjun gasped. It seemed that the mafia had already set their sights on the drug business. "How did you get it? In other words, how can you guarantee the supply of the drug?"

Corleone took a deep breath on his cigar, and said: "Just after World War I, Felix Hoffmann, a chemist from Bayer, a German drug production company, synthesized a drug called The substance diacetylmorphine. His bosses were overjoyed. They believed that this substance could replace the addictive painkiller morphine. When it was proved that some fish, seahorses and cats used in experiments swallowed these drugs and still survived. , the family members of the company, including their children, also tried to take it, and no one was poisoned to death, and no one became addicted. So less than a year after the synthesis, the company put it on the market without conducting a thorough clinical trial. When this When the drug was launched, there was nothing unusual about it other than a huge success. Just one year later, Bayer would be selling in more than 20 countries, mainly in the United States. The drug was a huge success , also due to Bayer's cruel management methods.

From the beginning, a few unyielding pharmacists said the drug was poisonous and addictive.Carl Duisberg, the company's agent at the time, asked his subordinates that if anyone dared to say that it was not a safe drug, they would be beaten into silence.In an advertisement in the "German Doctor", Bayer asked doctors to treat the morphine addiction that was rampant at the time with recognized excellent medicine, saying that it would not be addictive.One doctor wrote in a professional journal that the value of the drug was all the higher because it was absolutely harmless; another exclaimed that it was the safest and best cough medicine of all.However, with the widespread clinical practice and the intervention of the health departments of various countries, it began to be listed as a banned drug, and its sales were banned in the form of laws. Bayer's turnover plummeted, forcing them to turn their sales underground. In addition, in some places in America and Africa, they are very happy to operate this kind of profitable business, and the supply of goods is definitely not a problem.You have the largest intelligence network in the world. If you are willing to cooperate, you can successfully sell it to the world through your intelligence network. "

Zhao Bingjun asked calmly: "Including China?"

Corleone laughed. "My friend, money knows no borders."

"Then why don't you let your family members taste the taste first?" Zhao Bingjun said with a blade hidden in his words.

Corleone's face changed suddenly, and his voice suddenly became gloomy: "You mean you are not willing to cooperate?"

Zhao Bingjun suddenly looked up and laughed, as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world, and said, "Do you know what your mafia is?"

Corleone gritted his teeth and asked, "What?"

"You are a chamber pot used by Italy. Normally, it is placed under the bed. No one is willing to wash it. When there is a need, I will take you out and use it. The most notorious underground organization in the world wants to be with Tangtang Don’t you think the idea of ​​China’s security bureau cooperating is ridiculous?”

Before Corleone could speak, the bodyguards he brought took out their pistols one after another, and pointed their black muzzles at Zhao Bingjun's chest!
Corleone didn't look very angry, but said coldly: "Do you think you still have the right to choose now? As long as I say a word, you will never be able to return to your country."

"Really? I want to try it out." Zhao Bingjun wasn't panicked at all, instead it was as casual and natural as if he was chatting with an old friend.

Corleone felt more and more that the other party was unfathomable, and said word by word: "Then I have no choice but to invite you to my villa in Rome." He winked at the people behind him, and several bodyguards in black suits rushed forward , is coming to hold Zhao Bingjun hostage.Unexpectedly, Zhao Bingjun laughed and said: "Mr. Corleone, I advise you to think clearly before doing anything, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable."

Corleone said with a half-smile: "The reason why the mafia has achieved today is because we act decisively. On the land of Italy, as long as the mafia is hindered, that person must pay the price in blood!"
