PFC Chapter 815 No Money
Chapter 815 No Money
Cohen's face changed slightly. Even the public opinion war, which they were best at, was abruptly stopped with a tough attitude. It seems that the price increase of penicillin this time is not as simple as it seems.
Cohen thought for a while and asked Rogers, "How much stock do we have now?"
Rogers calculated for a moment and said, "According to the figures reported by the major trading companies and our current inventory, the total is less than 300 boxes."
"We are still three quarters short of the figure agreed in the contract."
"Mr. Cohen, we can't hesitate at this time. Even if there is no money to be made, we have to collect the medicines first."
"Those Soviets are not so easy to talk to."
Of course it’s hard to say, my father doesn’t like squid.
The Soviet Union's Great Purge was designed to prevent the infiltration of squids.
When a country's marshals and most of its high-ranking officials are squids, even a loving father feels uneasy in his sleep.
Cohen was silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "Rogers, go and inform the managers of the major trading companies to increase the purchase amount. Make sure to complete the purchase of one thousand boxes before next Thursday."
Rogers frowned and said, "Mr. Cohen, if you do this, it will be difficult for me to control drug prices."
Cohen waved his hand and said, "Rogers, don't worry about the price. Our goal is to have enough medicine."
"Okay," Rogers nodded, "I'll do as you say."
After saying this, Rogers bowed gracefully and turned to leave the study.
"Sir, I feel like someone is targeting us this time." Sean suddenly spoke as he watched Rogers leave.
"Sean, your reaction is much faster than Rogers'." Cohen walked to the window, looked at the scenery in the distance and said slowly: "The Japanese were able to mobilize their forces to target us. It seems that what we did displeased Minister Chen."
Sean nodded slightly, then asked in confusion after a while: "But I don't understand what good it would do him if the price of the medicine was raised."
"Is it just to maintain the price of this drug?"
"After such a turmoil, it seems difficult for the Shanghai market to maintain the original price of penicillin."
Cohen shook his head and said, "I can't see clearly what Minister Chen is going to do now."
"But it doesn't matter. If I can smash the plate once, I can smash it a second time. Sean, watch out. I will make him pay back my losses this time very soon."

Chen Yang was stirring the coffee in his hand with a small spoon, but his mind was wandering somewhere else.
Ever since the Military Control Commission let him make his own decisions on the front line, he rarely showed such an expression.
But this time, something is indeed different.
Boss Dai sent instructions to Qiu Chan, asking the God of Wealth to take the overall situation into consideration and find out the military deployment of Yoshio Shinozuka in Shanxi.
Yu Gong, this is the superiors asking Hu Zongnan to counterattack Shanxi and provide him with all conveniences.
Personally, I have to say that Hu Zongnan is Boss Dai's sworn brother.
The two had a very good relationship. It can be said that the fact that Boss Dai was appreciated by his superiors, formed the Military Control Commission, and became a knife in the hands of his superiors was mostly due to the recommendation of Commander Hu.
Commander Hu's talents were not outstanding among the generals of the party and the country, but he was extremely favored. It must be said that Boss Dai made great contributions.
If these two people were placed in the ancient court, they would be colluding with each other and showing off each other.
Commander Hu always stayed at Boss Dai's villa when he went in and out of the mountain city, and even used Boss Dai's house when entertaining guests.
Of course, he would not accept favors for nothing. Previously, Boss Dai's intelligence network was completely destroyed by Wan Tianmu. It was Commander Hu who urgently dispatched hundreds of reconnaissance veterans to supplement Boss Dai's intelligence network, which prevented him from being embarrassed in front of his superiors.
Moreover, that’s not all. Commander Hu also recruited sixty or seventy female soldiers in Changsha in the name of the Seventh Branch of the Central Military Academy, and sent them to Boss Dai’s Linli Class for special training to become female agents.
Not only that, Commander Hu also donated war horses, weapons and other supplies to the Special Forces Corps and Special Police Corps under Boss Dai several times.
In order to repay the other party, Boss Dai often gave gifts to officials in the mountain city in the name of Commander Hu and helped him to win over relationships.
During festivals, when these important figures in Shancheng celebrate their birthdays or have happy events, Boss Dai always prepares two gifts.
One gift was his own and the other was in the name of Commander Hu, and Commander Hu's gift was even better than his own.
It can be said that these two people really have similar interests.
This time, due to the failure of the Zhongtiao Mountain battle, Tada Shun and Shinozuka Yoshio met in Shanxi and joined forces to drive Hu Zongnan out of Shanxi, causing him to lose face in the mountain city.
In addition, the attitudes of countries such as Britain and the United States towards the mountain city were wavering, so in order to obtain international assistance, the superiors forced Commander Hu to return to Shanxi.
Commander Hu did not dare to disobey the order from his superiors and returned to Shanxi reluctantly. However, he was unsure of Yoshio Shinozuka's strength, and the two sides continued to test each other.
At this time, Boss Dai issued an order to Chen Yang to gather intelligence through Qiu Chan.
"Report." Chen Yang heard the voice coming from outside the door, put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Come in."
Dongye Daimu walked into the office holding a thick stack of information and said, "Minister, this is the list of materials you requested to be allocated to Shanxi and North China."
"It's been half a year since last November."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Put it here."
Higashino Daiki put down the information but did not leave. Instead, he whispered, "Minister, do you want these information in order to file a report against Commander Tada?"
"I think it's better to forget it. Commander Tada is in the limelight right now. Even if you submit a report like this, they won't accept it."
Chen Yang was stunned for a moment, rolled his eyes and said, "Dongye-kun, why do I look like someone who would tell tales?"
"I didn't get this information for this. The local authorities asked us to do a statistics on material consumption."
"Do you really think I have nothing to do?"
Higashino Daiki seemed to be relieved and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Minister. I thought you were going to make things difficult for Commander Tada again."
Chen Yang flipped through the information and frowned, "Mr. Dongye, watch your wording. When did I ever make things difficult for Commander Tada?"
"I was following the rules and regulations..."
Higashino Oki nodded and said, "That's right, Minister."
"By the way, I was just about to report to you that the supplies that were originally to be allocated from the mainland will now be delayed again."
"Mr. Kobayashi hopes that you can discuss with President Omura of the Manchuria Railway and first send a batch of supplies from the Northeast to deal with the emergency."
"We need to transfer supplies from the Northeast again?" Chen Yang looked up and asked, "What's the situation on the mainland? It's only been two quarters, and the supplies have been delayed several times?"
"Are they out of money?"
I have finished writing two chapters, the report is out, and my heart is finally at peace...
I will go to Guangxi for a follow-up check next week...
