Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 594: The Last Step

Medicines, arms, and opium have always been hot commodities in the black market.

Moreover, it was a life-saving drug like penicillin. Yamamoto Yoshisaburo could imagine that once those merchants in the black market knew that he had penicillin, they would probably scramble to buy it.

However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny.

The news of the appearance of penicillin on the Shanghai market quickly spread in the black market. Almost all the big and small bosses in the black market knew that a Japanese had a large amount of penicillin in his hands. However, there was no one to be seen who was looking to buy it.

For three consecutive days, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo went from being full of confidence at first to becoming restless.

This reaction is not normal. The merchants in the black market are undoubtedly very clear about the effects of penicillin.

This medicine can be said to be a life-saving miracle drug that works instantly for diseases such as current inflammation.

But no one seems interested. Could it be that the price is too high?

This is not true either. European countries have started using this drug a few months ago, and its efficacy has been well-received.

When it came to the Shanghai stock market, the medicine suddenly stopped working.

Could it be that the Chinese people's body structure is different from that of Europeans, so these drugs have no effect on the Chinese people?

This is not true. The Army Hospital has conducted human experiments and proved that this drug may cause allergic reactions in some specific groups of people.

But it is effective for most people, and its effect is definitely no worse than medicines produced in Europe.

"Furukawa-kun, have you found out which link in our sales process has problems?"

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo frowned and said, "It's been three days. The news about these drugs should have spread a long time ago. Why haven't we found a buyer yet?"

Furukawa Hisasaku stood in front of Yamamoto Yoshisaburo and said in silence for a long time: "Mr. Yamamoto, there is a rumor in the Shanghai market these days. I don't know whether it is true or not."

Yamamoto Kichisaburo looked at Furukawa Hisasaku with a sharp look in his eyes and said, "Furukawa-kun, what happened? Tell me."

Furukawa Hisasaku said in a deep voice: "Shanghai merchants of all sizes have recently received news that no one can have anything to do with penicillin, otherwise the Qing Gang will kill everyone."

"Green Gang?" Yamamoto Yoshisaburo asked in surprise, "What's the conflict between our drug business and the Green Gang?"

Furukawa Hisasaku said: "Mr. Yamamoto, have you forgotten that the big brother Ma Yongzhen of the Qing Gang is Chen Yang's man?"

Only then did Yamamoto Yoshisaburo react and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Gu Chuanjun, are you saying that Chen Yang is the one who is causing all this? Is it him who is preventing others from buying our products?"

Furukawa Hisasaku said: "Mr. Yamamoto, the Shanghai market is Chen Yang's territory. If he says that no one is allowed to buy, then no one dares to buy."

"I think we should think of another way."

"Why don't you send a telegram to Minister Takita in the Northeast and sell this batch of medicine to the Northeast."

"Why? Does he really think he is the biggest in Shanghai?" Yamamoto Yoshisaburo was immediately furious.

"Gu Chuan-kun, prepare the car. I want to see if Chen Yang can really dominate the Shanghai market."

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Meihua Building, Office of the Joint Transport Minister.

"Mr. Yamamoto, you can't enter without an appointment." He Yuehua's anxious voice came from the door.

But this seemed to be of no use. With a bang, the office door was pushed open heavily. Chen Yang put down the pen in his hand and glanced at Yoshisaburo Yamamoto who was standing at the door.

He Yuehua stood at the door and explained in a low voice: "Minister, I'm sorry, I have already told Mr. Yamamoto that he cannot come in without an appointment."

"You go out first." Chen Yang stood up, waved to He Yuehua, and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, shouldn't you be at work at this time?"

"You left your post without my order. This will not be good for your future assessment."

"Minister Chen, don't lie in front of real people." Yamamoto Yoshisaburo walked into the office and said, "I want to know if it was your order to stop others from buying the medicines in my hands?"

"Drugs? What drugs?" Chen Yang smiled and said, "The Military Police Headquarters has already issued a law prohibiting any store or individual in Shanghai from trading drugs. Don't tell me you don't know."

"Also, I'm just a transport officer. How could Yamamoto-kun think I have such great power that I can stop your drug sales?"

"Moreover, according to the law, anyone who dares to sell drugs privately will be shot on the spot once discovered."

"Yamamoto-kun is also a member of the empire, he would not break the law knowingly."

"Breaking the law knowingly? Hahaha." Yamamoto Yoshisaburo laughed wildly: "Is Minister Chen joking?"

"Everyone in Shanghai knows that you are the biggest player in the black market. How can you sell less medicine and ammunition?"

Chen Yang's eyes narrowed and he sneered, "Mr. Yamamoto, you have to have evidence before you speak."

"I am just an ordinary imperial official. When did I sell medicine?"

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo didn't seem to be ready to continue arguing with Chen Yang on this issue. He stood up and said, "I don't want to talk to you either."

"Since you don't allow others to buy it, I don't want to beat around the bush with you."

"The market value of this batch of drugs is 1.5 million US dollars. You give me 1.4 million and the drugs are yours."

Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, are you sick? Do you want me to use my own money to buy back my own medicine?"

"Why? Do I look so like an idiot?"

"So you don't want to do that?" Yamamoto Kichisaburo chuckled and said, "Don't think I don't know what you're up to."

"It's not that easy to drive me away."

"Let me tell you, even though your name isn't on my detailed account, if it were to be made public, most of the network you own would be paralyzed."

"I have nothing to lose now, but I am also satisfied to have so many people buried with me."

"I just don't know if Minister Chen can still sit in this position safely after so many people have lost their lives."

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Mr. Yamamoto, you seem to be mistaken. What you want to do is your business. Whether I can hold on to this position is not up to you."

"If you have nothing else, please go back. I still have a lot of things to do here."

Yamamoto Yoshisaburo looked at Chen Yang in surprise and said stiffly: "Minister Chen, you will definitely regret your decision now."

After that, Yamamoto Yoshisaburo left the office without looking back.

"Regret?" Chen Yang murmured as he watched Yamamoto Yoshisaburo's figure disappearing into the distance, "I'm afraid you will be the one who regrets."
