Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Chapter 214 Return to Shanghai

This is an ambiguous statement. Not ignoring them does not mean that Su Bai will come back.

Su Bai did have a plan. If he could successfully build and put the pharmaceutical factory into production in Chongqing, he would bring these people to Chongqing and give them some work to do so that they could support themselves.

However, it is too early to say anything now, and Su Bai can only give this vague answer.

She could see that Kong Man and Kong Yun didn't quite believe what she said.

That night, Kong Dai successfully handed over a cart of grain to Yang Huasen. This time, the handover was made at the mountain pass behind the east garden of the Kong family's ancestral tomb.

The next morning, Kong Man and Kong Yun went to Linhua to take over the business of the company with Zi Yan.

Su Bai began to make arrangements and give instructions to Niu Yanzi and his group.

While ensuring safety, production will continue and the produced penicillin will not be transported back to Li Mansion at the foot of the mountain, but will remain in Cave No. 1 of Panlong Cave.

After erythromycin was produced, it was kept in Li's mansion.

With the help of the villagers from Niu Village in collecting mushrooms, the output of erythromycin is much greater than that of penicillin.

Kong Dai is responsible for the lives of these people in Li's mansion. Su Bai specially let Kong Dai live in the east wing in the backyard, so that Kong Dai is there all day long. In the evening, Yuan Yuze, who has finished selling stinky tofu, is also there.

"For small matters, find Gao Hu; for big matters, find Zhou Beiwang. Don't use guns unless it's an extreme situation. And don't listen to Kong Dai in military operations!" Su Bai instructed Xiao Wei.

She was afraid that if she was not around, Kong Dai would take the initiative and let these dozen people cooperate with Yang Huasen to do something.

"Madam, you won't not come back, will you?" Xiao Wei also asked this, making Su Bai feel that his preparations were seen by others as a sign of leaving Longxing. No wonder the Second Miss cried like that.

"I'll be back. Send a telegram if you have anything." Su Bai then felt that it was a good thing that Kong Man and Kong Yun could send telegrams. At least they could keep in touch at any time.

Of course he would be safe if he left Longxing, but if he stayed with these people and was discovered by Kong Li, things might be even worse.

Although not all of these people may be loyal to me, at least they are doing their best.

Whether the pharmaceutical factory is in Shanghai, Chongqing, or other places, it needs people, and I will bring them there after I settle down.

But I can’t say that now.

Su Bai increased the time for sending telegrams every day to twice a day, once at 10 a.m. and once at 9 p.m.

By the time Su Bai had prepared everything and left Longxing, it was already April 4th, a little more than two months since the July 28 Incident, and only three and a half months since the August th Battle of Shanghai.

Although his injury had not yet fully healed, Zhou Beiwang still brought Qian Rufei to Linhua Bus Station to see Su Bai off.

Also seeing Su Bai off were Kong Man and Kong Yun, who had taken over the business. Kong Yun cried like a tearful person, forcing Su Bai to go to great lengths to comfort her.

Su Bai discovered that Kong Yun was fine, but Kong Man had obvious hostility towards Zhou Beiwang. Apart from a perfunctory greeting when they met, there was no communication between them.

"Don't worry, I'll telegram you if there's any emergency." Zhou Beiwang said with a smile.

He also knew that he had a radio station in Shanghai. There was no need to ask, as it must have been Xu Tianyi who told him.

Su Bai, Zi Yan, Wan Qili and Xu Tianyi first took a bus to Qingdao, then took a boat from Qingdao and arrived in Shanghai on April 4.

Manager Wan and the pharmaceutical factory's agent, Mr. Xu, came to the dock to greet them.

Mr. Xu can't wait any longer. He wants to go to Europe immediately after selling the pharmaceutical factory.

"Mr. Xu, are you so anxious? Have you smelled the scent of war?" Su Bai asked him.

He did feel that war was imminent, but that was not the main reason. When the pharmaceutical factory was built, he came from Europe with the foreign boss. He and the boss had a boss-employee relationship as well as friends.

Mr. Xu's wife and children are in Europe.

"Mr. Xu, do you think Europe is safe?" Su Bai told him with a smile: "Within two years, the flames of war will spread all over Europe."

"Hahaha, Miss Lan is very humorous!" This guy didn't believe what Su Bai said at all.

Su Bai cursed himself secretly again. Why was he telling him all this? Was he trying to show off that his predictions were accurate?

Totally unnecessary.

That afternoon, 130 gold bars were received and all relevant procedures were completed. The Far East Fahua Pharmaceutical Company changed hands and the boss became Lan Jieru.

"This is ours!" Zi Yan opened her arms in the yard and shouted loudly.

Mr. Xu was very particular about his business. He left the names, addresses and contact information of several production managers before Fahua Pharmaceutical stopped production with Su Bai. If production could be started immediately, most of the workers and technicians could be brought back in a very short time.

In addition, if Su Bai needs it, he will introduce all the purchasing channels of the original Fahua Pharmaceutical to Su Bai.

He booked a boat ticket to Europe next month and will stay in Shanghai for nearly a month. During this month, if Su Bai needs help, he will be there to help.

He also has a Buick, which he bought last year. If Su Bai wants it, he will leave it to Su Bai when he leaves Shanghai.

"Yes, of course!" Wan Qili answered him first.

"I bought it last year for over 3000 dollars. Now I want three gold bars from Miss Lan. It's not expensive, right?"

"I thought you were giving it away for free!" said Wan Qili.

Shopkeeper Wan immediately took over the conversation: "Two gold bars, the current situation is unstable, and it is unlikely that you can sell the car for a good price within a month. Just treat it as a package sale to Miss Lan together with the pharmaceutical factory, so that you don't have to put an advertisement in the newspaper every day to sell the car!"

Mr. Xu agreed with a smile, and praised boss Liu Abao for being a good businessman and bargaining right down to the bone.

After breaking up with Mr. Xu, Su Bai told Manager Wan that he planned to move part of the pharmaceutical factory's equipment to Chongqing.

Manager Wan felt a little regretful. According to what Mr. Xu said, they would be able to start production right away after calling the workers back tomorrow. Most of the previous sales channels would still be there, so they would be able to start making profits right away.

If we move to Chongqing, it will take more than one or two months to officially start production.

Just transporting the equipment to Chongqing will probably take a month.

"Let's wait and see. Moving to Chongqing doesn't mean we won't produce here, right?" Su Bai lied without hesitation.

This pharmaceutical factory mainly produces phenazine, atropine, saline and glucose injection, and also packages some disinfection products such as alcohol and iodine. Some of the equipment can be used to produce penicillin, but some cannot.

The first thing he had to do was to buy back the equipment for producing penicillin to the pharmaceutical factory, and then consider relocating and transporting it to Chongqing.

That night, Su Bai sent a telegram to Zhou Beiwang, asking him to contact Bi Yuming.

Bi Yuming was in Nanjing on business and had not yet returned to Linhua. Shanghai was not far from Nanjing, so Su Bai planned to meet with Bi Yuming and ask him to help him contact the relevant departments of the National Government through his relationship with the Military Control Commission.

"No need?" Wan Qili said to Su Bai after sending the report: "We can also contact the government ourselves!"

"Do you have any acquaintances?" Su Bai asked.

Wan Qili nodded: "I can give it a try."

Su Bai couldn't help but become suspicious of Wan Qili again. Who is she?
