Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

"Little Qiao, find out if anything unusual happened to Master Qin on the ship."

"Also, investigate whether Fifth Master Qin had any conflicts with others a few days ago..."

Ye Bai meticulously highlighted every detail, afraid of missing any clue.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Aqiao nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, I'll go investigate right away."

After saying that, Xiao Aqiao was about to leave when Ye Bai called her name again.

"You've been working hard lately, take a good rest."

Although the message was short, you could still hear the care in it.

Two blushes immediately appeared on Xiao Aqiao's face.

Since Deputy General Manager Song joined Ye's Business Group, she has had significantly less work to do.

However, she was the one who handled the mergers and acquisitions of the Sihai Gang's businesses and a series of other matters. With the explosion of Master Qin, she was even busier than before.

She was busy both inside and outside, and in just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.

Hearing Ye Bai show her concern at this moment, she quickly waved her hand.

"No, no, no..."

She was so nervous that she stammered a bit when she spoke, and Xiao Aqiao's eyes showed a hint of annoyance.

Why is he so eloquent in front of others, but suddenly becomes speechless when he's with Ye Bai?

While Xiao Aqiao was still struggling to decide what to say, there was a sudden knock on the door of the study.

After saying "Come in," Ye Bai saw the head of the bodyguards, Wang An, bring in two strangers.

"This is?"

After the identities of the two people were introduced, Ye Bai was unusually stunned.

Are these two people in front of me the heads of Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory, which is under Qin Wuye's control?

The man wearing round-framed glasses, who could barely speak Mandarin, was Xia Bai, a sausage-loving Chinese.

Seeing this foreigner wearing round-framed glasses speak fluent English and German, Ye Bai became even more suspicious.

He can understand English, but this is almost entirely in German. How can they communicate?

Just as he was wondering, another man with an obvious intellectual air stood beside him and explained.

“Xia Bai understands Mandarin, but he can’t speak it.”

After chatting for a while longer, Ye Bai roughly understood the whole story.

The man with an elite air was named He Zi'an. He was a pharmacist at the pharmaceutical factory and one of its managers.

He Zian and Xia Bai, a foreigner, met in the Chemistry Department of Berlin University.

After graduation, the two came to China together, intending to make a name for themselves in the Chinese pharmaceutical market.

Unfortunately, in a city as large as Shanghai, what use is passion alone if you have no resources, no connections, and no money?

At first, the two faced numerous setbacks and struggled to make progress.

Just when they were discouraged and about to give up, Master Qin appeared.

Not only did they become the largest shareholder of the pharmaceutical company through investment, but they also smoothed over a series of relationships in both the legitimate and underworld circles, which ensured that their hard work was not in vain.

From then on, the two became even more loyal to Master Qin.

Since the news of Master Qin's explosion broke, Madam Qin has officially announced that Ye Bai will inherit the rest of the business. The two of them have been waiting for Ye Bai to appear at the pharmaceutical factory.

Unexpectedly, Ye Bai was late in arriving, and the two of them couldn't wait any longer, so they took the initiative to come to him to show their loyalty.

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but touch his nose.

Master Qin's family is so large and powerful that he hasn't even had time to count how many land deeds his wife gave him last time.

However, thinking about the pharmaceutical company behind the two, Xinyi Pharmaceutical Factory, why does that name sound so familiar?

As he was thinking, Ye Bai suddenly remembered the news he had seen in his previous life.

Hsin-Yi Pharmaceutical Factory, the largest pharmaceutical factory in the Far East!

His eyes lit up for a moment, but the light in Ye Bai's eyes went out again in the next instant.

At this moment, he had already recalled the final fate of the pharmaceutical company.

The two founders bravely sacrificed their lives in the fight against the Japanese invaders.

Later generations praised him in this way: a great merchant, dedicated to the country and its people!

Having thought this through, Ye Bai was now certain that these two people were indeed trustworthy and reliable.

With that thought in mind, he immediately explained to the two men that the pharmaceutical company should maintain its original course of action for the time being.

Seeing that it was getting late and the two were about to leave, Ye Bai suddenly had a flash of inspiration and called out to them.

"Just a moment."

The two people who were stopped exchanged a glance, both quite puzzled.

Twenty minutes later, when the two saw the documents and the finished sulfonamide in their hands, their eyes widened in surprise.

What Ye Bai handed to the two of them was a complete set of information on sulfonamides!

There was even a fully usable sulfonamide as a research reference.

The two stared at the documents in their hands for nearly half an hour.

Xia Bai's expression went from frowning to shining, then back to frowning, and finally back to shining.

In his excitement, his Mandarin became unusually fluent.

Where did you get it from?

Although He Zi'an did not speak, his expression was unusually serious, and he gripped the documents in his hand tightly, revealing the same emotion as Xia Bai in his eyes.

It should be noted that ever since the Japanese occupied Northeast China, a major war was looming.

Medicine is an indispensable part of military supplies during wartime.

Among them, the medicinal value of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs is comparable to that of gold.

Such a precious medicine, and considering the extraction method described in the documents, even He Zi'an, who was usually calm and composed, couldn't help but be shocked.

Who would have thought that such an important antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drug as sulfonamide was extracted from dyes in a dyeing workshop!

Ye Bai noticed their reactions, but instead of explaining the source of the formula and the medicine, he earnestly addressed the confidentiality requirements for sulfonamides.

"For the next period of time, you two will probably have to stay at the Paramount."

Neither of them objected to these words.

The value of the information in their hands was immeasurable, and they naturally understood Ye Bai's meaning.

Soon, the two of them figured everything out and began to make their own demands.

Laboratory facilities and experimental equipment are essential and must be prepared immediately!

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai immediately nodded.

As long as talented people are willing to stay, that's fine!

Everything else is fine!

Chapter Thirty-Seven: Want to keep buying lipstick?! Trade me a gun!

After handing over the sulfonamide to the two heads of the pharmaceutical company, Ye Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Keeping the only pill in your own possession means it can only save one life in a critical moment.

If the pharmaceutical company can complete mass production, then we will at least have another powerful tool in our hands.

After all, his own forces were growing in number.

If war breaks out, one wrong move and you could lose your life in no time.

At this time, people are the most valuable resource.

Ye Bai has already started making plans.

There was probably only one year left before the full-scale war of resistance against Japan.

It should be noted that not long after the start of the full-scale war of resistance against Japan, the entire city of Shanghai fell to the Japanese.

According to records, the occupation lasted for three whole months.

What he needs to do now is to arm himself as much as possible before things happen!

To arm himself, he would need a large number of talented people and a large amount of funds!

In short, keep making money and keep poaching talent!

Just as Ye Bai was thinking about how to plan his next move, the phone suddenly rang.
