As the downfall of the Republic of China, there was a Taoist priest named Uncle Jiu

The waves below were rolling, and James became vigilant: "There is movement!"

A few seconds later, David's mocking voice came from the dialogue channel: "James, you are too nervous, that's a whale shark."

James took a closer look, and it was indeed a huge whale shark swimming, making a huge roar, which seemed to be in great pain, and set off waves.

But no one noticed that a person was holding the belly of the whale shark tightly, and his ten fingers penetrated into the flesh of the whale shark. No matter how angry the whale shark roared, he couldn't get rid of him.

"The United States! The United States!"

Qiu Shentong gritted his teeth. The Mi Country has successfully replaced the Xuankong Temple as the object of his hatred. He vowed that when he recovers, he will definitely disturb the Mi Country!

The United States chased and killed him day and night, which made his injuries worse. For ten days in a row, he never closed his eyes. Both his body and his spirit reached a limit. Fortunately, he encountered a passing whale shark, and he turned into a barnacle directly. Possess a whale shark and let this 15-meter-long behemoth take him out of the encirclement of the United States.

The arrival of batches of military ammunition from Qingshan Town means that Gu Zhou's regiment has bottomed out bullets, and the ammunition has started to be abundant again. The information on the bandits has also been collected, and the bandits can be suppressed only after Gu Zhou gives an order.

Chapter 116

In Daxiang County, Gu Zhou met Cai Chun again and received the remaining balance of [-] kilograms of penicillin.

One hundred kilograms of penicillin is worth 30000 kilograms of gold, and Gu Zhou takes 8.5% of it. As long as it is sold out, 25500 kilograms of gold will belong to Gu Zhou.

When taking the penicillin, Desheng Commercial Bank paid a small part of the advance payment, and besides arms, antiques, and jade, there were nearly half of the final payment in gold, dollars, pounds, and oceans.

This time, Gu Zhou gave Cai Chun [-] kilograms of penicillin and did not ask Desheng Commercial Bank to pay the advance payment, showing his sincerity.

Seeing five hundred kilograms of penicillin, Cai Chun was ecstatic as if he had seen a mountain of gold.

The effect of penicillin has already been shown, and various forces in the world are waving money and buying penicillin with gold. He can guarantee that the penicillin will be sold out within half a month when it is brought back.

Leaving Desheng Commercial Firm, Gu Zhou was about to meet his master Shi Jian, but two big men blocked his way.

"Our young master wants to see you."

"Want to see me? Let him come by himself."

Gu Zhou said calmly.

Two big men reached out to grab 06.

Click!

Gu Zhou grabbed the two people's arms like lightning, crushing their wrists in an instant: "Get lost!"

The two of them were sweating profusely from the pain, they didn't dare to say a word of nonsense, and the shit was gone.

At the foot of Yinlong Mountain, a group of people blocked Gu Zhou's way. There were about twenty people, most of whom were gunner guards. They all had thick hands and feet, strong bodies, sharp eyes, and bulging waists. With a gun.

A refined young man came out: "I am Wu Jianyuan."

"Wu Jianyuan?"

Gu Zhou frowned slightly: "What can you do with me?"

"Bold! How dare you call the young master by his name!"

A woman behind him snapped.

Gu Zhou shook his head and sneered: "Could it be that the name Wu Jianyuan wasn't chosen to be called out by people, but to be engraved on the tombstone for people to worship when he died?"

"You! You! You! You are so bold!" The woman's face was livid.

"It's audacious to be called by a name. It's a big show. Even if it's the emperor, if I want to call him by his first name, don't tell me that your young master is more noble than the emperor? What the hell."

"Cuiping, step back."

Wu Jianyuan waved his hand, and said lightly: "You are right, the name is taken out to be called by others. Gu Zhou, do you know why I am looking for you?"

His attitude seemed gentle and his expression was flat, but what Gu Zhou saw was condescending arrogance, and his posture was faintly superior.

From the words and words of the woman beside him, one can see that Wu Jianyuan is probably a high-ranking princely person on weekdays.

It's like it's an honor for Gu Zhou to meet him.

Gu Zhou said casually: "Are you overestimating yourself? Wu Jianyuan's name is not that big, how do I know who you are? Where did you come from? What do you want me to do?"

"you!"

Cuiping looked like a cat whose tail had been trampled on, its fur all over its body exploding.

Wu Jianyuan's expression remained unchanged: "Okay, then I will introduce myself. My ancestor Wu Bingjian, my Wu clan, was once the head of the Thirteen Factions in Guangzhou."

"The head of the thirteen lines in Guangzhou? The Wu family? Are you still alive?"

Wu Bingjian's name is still very big. The "Wall Street Journal" published an album "1000 Years" and counted the 50 richest people in the world in the past few centuries.

Among them, six Chinese were selected, they are Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Liu Jin, He Shen, Wu Bingjian and Song Ziwen.

Among these six people, only Wu Bingjian appeared as a pure businessman.

Wu Bingjian is a business prodigy who has established close ties with important clients in Western countries.

He is not only an official businessman in the feudal society, but also knows how to get rich by relying on the trade of Western businessmen.

His firm had the closest connection with foreign businessmen at that time, and it was able to have a good fortune among the East India Company, retail merchants, and American merchants. The annual trade volume between the Wu family and British and American merchants reached millions of taels of silver.

In addition, Wu Bingjian was also the banker and largest creditor of the East India Company.

Because of this, Wu Bingjian enjoyed a very high reputation in the Western business circles at that time, and some Western scholars even called him the world's richest man.

Before the Opium War, he boldly invested in railways, securities transactions, and even got involved in insurance business in the United States on the other side of the ocean, making Wu's firm a veritable transnational consortium.

However, the development of Wu's firm is still inseparable from opium, and the opium business also occupies an important position on the business map of Wu's firm.

It's a pity that the prosperity of Wu's firm fell from its peak after the outbreak of the Opium War. It is said that Wu Bingjian "collapsed to the ground from fright".

On one side are foreign merchants who secretly carry opium for huge profits and have traded for many years, and on the other side are imperial courts who want to confiscate and burn opium.

After the defeat of the war, many of the court's indemnities were claimed by the Thirteen Banks, and Wu's Firm took the largest share.

what?

You don't want to claim it?

The imperial court immediately lashed out.

Claim it obediently, and you can save a small part of your property.

Do not claim?People and wealth are all lost.

In addition to the large amount of indemnity that needed to be claimed by the Thirteenth Five Seventy Three Banks, the failure of the war forced the imperial court to open five trade terminals, and the trade monopoly position of the Thirteenth Bank's "one dominant" disappeared since then.

"Back then, my family ancestor just bought a lot of official titles and seals, and spent 600 million taels. The cunning rabbit can also know the three caves. Do you think my Wu clan will completely decline so easily?"

Wu Jianyuan did not evade the fact of the decline of the Wu family, and his expression was indifferent: "My Wu family used to have investments all over the world, and these investments are still controlled by our Wu family. The reason why the world thinks that the Wu family is declining is only because of us. No more high-profile."

Regarding Wu Jianyuan's statement, Gu Zhou has no doubts. It is not so easy for such a giant to go bankrupt. Besides, Wu Bingjian has a long-term vision and foresight, and has already expanded his business overseas. Merchant business is no longer the only lifeline of the Wu family.

Perhaps it is not as good as it was at its peak, but it is still a commercial giant.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, talk about things." Gu Zhou probably guessed what Wu Jianyuan was asking him for.

"Send me a message to the person behind you, and sell me the method of making penicillin."

Gu Zhou was stunned, looked Wu Jianyuan up and down, did not speak for a long time, Wu Jianyuan felt uncomfortable, coughed a few times and frowned: "What are you doing looking at me?".

Chapter 117 Do you think I will kill you?

"I'm looking at how big your face is."

Gu Zhou sneered, and his face was full of sarcasm: "If you sell all of your Wu clan, you can't afford the method of making penicillin."

Wu Jianyuan's face darkened: "Do you know that my Wu family..."

"OK OK."

Gu Zhou waved his hand indifferently: "Heroes don't mention the bravery back then, don't mention the glory of your Wu clan in front of me. If you want to buy penicillin, go to a German firm to buy it. If you want to buy the method of making penicillin, wash it up and go to sleep." .”

The Wu family didn't expect to be able to buy the manufacturing method of penicillin. They just tried it out, and Wu Jianyuan was not angry when he saw that it was not working. You can cooperate with my Wu family."

"You have to know that Desheng Commercial Bank's business is basically limited to the domestic market, with little overseas involvement. My Wu family's business is spread all over the world, which is more conducive to the sale of penicillin."

Gu Zhou smiled: "You say you have a big face, do you really think you have a big face? The cooperation with Desheng Firm is good, why should you abandon them and choose you?"

"Just because of our Wu family's business all over the world..."

"Okay, just these few sentences over and over again, as long as the name of penicillin is printed, the so-called sales channels are not worth mentioning at all. Those who want it will wave their money and come from far away to buy it. You Wu clan should still have A few smart people don’t really think that the so-called sales channels are very important to penicillin, do they?”

Gu Zhou became impatient: "Go away, there is nothing to talk about."

Wu Jianyuan's face darkened completely, and his gentle expression turned into an extremely gloomy one. His tone was cold and full of irony: "You are very courageous."

"I've always been very courageous."

"I've seen a lot of unknown people like you. You're just a small person pushed to the front of the stage, but you think you can control everything about penicillin. It's extremely inflated. Do you really think you can make decisions for the people behind you? Do you believe it or not? , even if I take you down, it will still not affect my cooperation with the people behind you〃¨!"

Gu Zhou was stunned. To be sure, Wu Jianyuan's determined tone made him a little 'doubtful about life'. There was someone behind me, why didn't I know?

Lao Tzu's penicillin was ordered online.

If there is really someone behind it, it is the owner of the TB shop.

Well... From this aspect, there is indeed someone behind him.

"Take him!"

Wu Jianyuan didn't bother to say anything, and ordered his subordinates to take down Gu Zhou at the first order.

Immediately, several people drew their guns and walked over.

next moment.

The Miao Dao at Gu Zhou's waist set off a ruthless, fierce saber light, and a white line more than ten meters long appeared in the air.

fast!

quickly!

No knife skills!

just be fast!

The distance of more than ten meters flashed by. Gu Zhou's current speed can smash people to pieces with his body just by running wildly. Now he is holding a seedling knife, which is sharper than a guillotine at extreme speed.

Gu Zhou's figure turned into a phantom and passed Wu Jianyuan's men. Under the sword light, more than twenty people wailed and lost their arms under the light of the sword.

Blood soared into the sky, and was pulled out by the gust of Gu Zhou's extreme speed, billowing blood mist, like a blood dragon winding in the air.

In just a moment, Gu Zhou stepped forward, drew his saber, and swung it.

All of Wu Jianyuan's men with guns lost their arms.

laugh!

A close guard next to Wu Jianyuan wiped his hand, a cold light rose from his waist, and the air made a sound like cloth being torn, and he slashed towards Gu Zhou.

With a blank expression on his face, Gu Zhou raised his toes and kicked out.

This guard is not weak, and he also reacted, raising his left foot high to block.

Click!

His legs collided, the guard's face turned pale, and his eyes protruded. Gu Zhou kicked his calf bones and broke his leg bones. m high.

Before he landed, Gu Zhou's knife was already on Wu Jianyuan's neck.

"Now, I want to see if you are brave enough."

Gu Zhou chuckled lightly and said, "Do you think I will kill you? Guess? There will be a prize for guessing right."

Wu Jianyuan's face was pale, his lips twitched, and the bloody smell penetrated his obturator pores wave after wave, making him want to vomit.

Xiang has been well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, and he has never seen such a bloody scene.

More than 20 people lay on the ground, Qi Qi broke his right arm, screaming endlessly,

"Don't guess? Then I will do it."

"I guess! I guess!"

Wu Jianyuan screamed again and again: "I guess you won't kill me!"

"you guessed wrong."
