Chapter 669: Biological Weapons
After shutting away Yang Yiming and others, Lu Xiyan met Chen Mo.
"Chen Mo, are you sure this information is accurate?"
"Please rest assured that this information we have obtained was obtained through a lot of effort." Chen Mo said very seriously.
"Well, I know this. Do you have anything else to say?"
"Mr. Lu said that we hope that after intercepting this batch of opium, Mr. Lu, will not destroy it. We are willing to buy it at a high price and transport it out of Shanghai." Silently said.
"Would you pay for this batch of opium?"
"Yes, we are willing to increase the market price by 30%. "Chen Mo said, "This price will definitely satisfy you."
"The opium and opium are so harmful to others, but you want me to sell them to you again. Then what am I going to be?" Lu Xiyan asked back.
"For you, these are naturally harmful things. For us, these opium can also be used to save people." Chen Mo said.
"Save someone?"
"You should have heard that Boss Du used to be at the morphine factory in Nanshi. We bought this batch of opium as raw materials for morphine production." Chen Mo explained.
"So that's the case, but even if I sell it to you, how can you transport it out of Shanghai?" Lu Xiyan was really unwilling to investigate it. This was at least a reasonable reason. Anyway, he had promised half of this batch of opium to Kai Ziwei. If Lu Jinshi could eat it, the deal would reassure him.
However, such transactions are already against one’s will, or even against the principles.
"Dr. Lu doesn't need to care about this." Chen Mo shook his head slightly.
"This is only once, no other examples." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.
"certainly."
...
"Brother Tang, Chen Mo just came to see me and gave me an address." Lu Xiyan went to the Political Department of the Filing House from the "Smoking Non-Smoking" brigade and met Tang Jin.
"A coincidence, Huang Jinrong also secretly gave me a message and an address." Tang Jin smiled slightly, "Don't you want to tell me, let's write it down and check it out?"
"good."
The two took the paper and pen and wrote an address on the white paper.
"Zhengli Street Rixinfang..."
"Haha!" The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The information they received on both sides was the same, so they basically couldn't make any mistakes.
"Old Lu, it's better not to be late. We will take action tonight. How many people can you draw from there to participate in the action?" Tang Jin asked.
"Twenty people are not a big problem." Lu Xiyan thought for a moment. Half of the people in the smoke ban team must be left, and the remaining personnel can be transferred.
"Well, I can also get rid of some people here to secretly participate in the operation." Tang Jin said, "The fewer people know about this mission, the better."
"Well, Lu Jinshi wants to buy this batch of opium, I agree." Lu Xiyan said.
"Did you agree to sell it to Lu Jinshi?"
"Well, we have decided on the interests of this batch of opium, half of which is given to Kai Ziwei and the remaining half is given to the ban on smoking brigade." Lu Xiyan smiled bitterly, "It's ridiculous. The ban on smoking brigade's funds were actually exchanged for selling opium."
"That's better than when Boss Du was in office. He, the smoking ban committee member, would have legally sold opium." Tang Jin persuaded, "We are also a temporary solution. What does Lu Jinshi want this batch of opium to do?"
"It is said to be the raw material for producing morphine."
"I know this. Boss Du has a morphine factory in Nan City. Of course, all the technicians and equipment have been removed and transported away. It should be controlled by the Military Control Commission. Logically speaking, they are not short of raw materials." Tang Jin frowned.
"Take a handle for me and drag me into the water at the critical moment." Lu Xiyan said.
"It makes sense. Lu Jinshi doesn't know your identity, and he has every reason to do this when you are now." Tang Jin nodded, "Since they are willing to buy it, then sell it to them, at least you don't have to worry about credibility."
"Well, if you find another buyer, it's really not easy to take action." Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay, I'll inform Kai Ziwei and arrange the action tonight. It's almost five o'clock now. We'll meet at the Central Hotel at half past six o'clock. How about it?" Tang Jin looked at the time and said.
"Okay." Lu Xiyan nodded. The Central Hotel is Lu Liankui's asset. After Lu Liankui was shot dead by Lu Xiyan and Zou Huai, most of his industries declined. The Central Hotel also changed several times and changed several bosses, and eventually fell into the hands of the Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group.
The manager is Heimao, the current leader of the Public Concession Intelligence Group, with a pseudonym: Zhou Yuhao.
The Central Hotel used to be Zhengli Street, which can be said to be close to it. Tang Jin chose this place as the temporary command center for the operation, which can be said to have been carefully considered.
Lu Xiyan called Yang Yiming by Tang Jin's office and asked him to secretly organize people, wear casual clothes, and go to the Central Hotel to meet in batches.
"Yes, Lao Tang has a case analysis meeting tonight. I won't go home for dinner. You can eat by yourself. Don't wait for me. I'll go back after I finish my work."
"Consultant Lu, call Mrs. Lu?"
"Yes, I said I was cooking and waiting for me to go back to eat..." Lu Xiyan covered the phone and smiled.
"Okay, I won't say it anymore. If there is anything, I'll talk about it when I go back, well, that's it." Lu Xiyan greeted and said to the phone, "I won't say it anymore, goodbye."
...
"Yan Lei, come with me to the Central Hotel."
"Sir, do you want to notify Black Cats and the others?" Yan Lei was surprised. He knew that the Central Hotel was the location of the Public Concession Intelligence Group.
"No, this time we are going to cooperate with others' actions. We are just assisting and supporting roles." Lu Xiyan shook his head.
"Understood."
“How is the recruitment thing going?”
"According to your instructions, I have asked Dr. Huo to draw up a list of poachers. Now I have contacted two or three, but I have no intention yet. I plan to visit myself from tomorrow." Yan Lei said.
"We don't consider those with stable jobs or high incomes. In addition, whether it is R&D or production, we must at least show our talent reserves. There are definitely not many such talents in China, because there are too few stages for them to display. This requires you to discover with your heart that you should do this with the mentality of us being really ready to do new drug research and development, rather than pretending." Lu Xiyan reminded.
"I understand, sir means that we will sooner or later research and produce our medicines." Yan Lei said, "Even if you copy it first."
"Yan Lei, you are right. We can really start with generics. The development of new drugs is a long and uncertain process. But if you make generic drugs, as long as you reverse the production process, the difficulty will decrease a lot. The efficacy of the drugs has been proven. As long as we produce them, we can go on the market after clinical trials." Lu Xiyan's eyes lit up.
"In this case, can we disclose the laboratory to the public?"
"No, take it slowly. During this period of time when it is not disclosed, preliminary research can be conducted on the strains that caused this cholera outbreak of Vibrio cholera. What progress can Dr. Huo make at present?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"I don't know much about this, otherwise, you will ask Dr. Huo or Dr. Ke Mo in person, they are all in the laboratory today." Yan Lei said.
"Okay, there is still time anyway, so you can take me down and have a look." Lu Xiyan nodded.
In order to implement strict confidentiality measures for the underground laboratory, in addition to strict security measures, an elevator that directly leads to the underground laboratory is also installed.
This elevator can only be used by laboratory personnel and security personnel.
Even the people who install the elevators are their own people, so they guarantee that the secrets will not be leaked. The instruments and experimental materials that arrive here are quite secret.
It can be said that the confidentiality level of this underground laboratory is comparable to that of the central bank's underground vault.
Ke Mo is now a resident researcher in the laboratory. Because Huo Xiaoyu still works in the hospital, he has to go to the hospital to work during the day and only comes to the evening.
Therefore, Ke Mo has mastered the process of many research experiments in a relatively comprehensive way.
In addition to Ke Mo, there are several research assistants who were recruited by Yan Lei from other channels and signed a confidentiality agreement before he could stay here to work.
These people are in the laboratory, eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and sleeping. Apart from being able to move freely in the laboratory, they are not allowed to go out, which means they have no freedom of life for the time being.
But they have high returns, and after working here for two years, they can get ten times more salary than they would normally work.
And if they want, they can continue to stay in Meng'an Company. By that time, they will not only be able to restore their freedom, but also live the life that many people dream of.
Ke Mo is Huo Xiaoyu's assistant in the laboratory, and he is also the most powerful person in the laboratory.
"The teacher is here." Ke Mo was very surprised when he saw Lu Xiyan.
"Ke Mo, why are your face so bad? How many days have you not been there?" Lu Xiyan asked with concern when he saw Ke Mo's pale face.
"It's been a few days, almost a week." Ke Mo scratched his head, which was almost like a chicken coop.
"Ke Mo, tomorrow I will find time to go up and clean my hair, and work should be relaxed and relaxed, and don't be as hard as you are." Lu Xiyan said a lesson.
"Yes, teacher." Ke Mo nodded.
"Where is Dr. Huo?"
"Teacher Huo is inside, I'll call you?" Ke Mo said hurriedly.
"No need, go busy, I'll go there myself." Lu Xiyan shook his hand. He was not here to disturb their research work.
Huo Xiaoyu was observing the reproduction and growth of cultured bacteria under a microscope, and was very focused and did not find Lu Xiyan behind him.
Seeing her observing and focused, and recording something from time to time on the blank notebook, Lu Xiyan watched quietly without disturbing her. When she finished all this, she turned around silently and saw Lu Xiyan, she was startled: "Dr. Lu, when did you come? I was shocked."
"Doctor Huo, seeing that you are serious about your work, I dare not disturb you." Lu Xiyan apologized.
"It's good that you're here. I'm about to report to you." Huo Xiaoyu said.
"Doctor Huo, I have some urgent matters later, so I can only give you ten minutes." Lu Xiyan looked at his watch and said.
"It doesn't take that long, ten minutes is enough." Huo Xiaoyu said.
"Okay, then you can tell me." Lu Xiyan nodded.
"After I studied these collected specimens of Vibrio cholerae, I found a characteristic, that is, the characteristics of these bacterial species are slightly different. Some have a fast onset time, some secrete toxins quickly, and some have different reproduction speeds." Huo Xiaoyu said, "However, they all belong to the same series, evolved or evolved from a primitive bacterial species."
"How to say it?"
"This kind of Vibrio cholerae has no history in our area. Moreover, these pathogenic bacteria are different, like selected models, and they are different. Therefore, your suspicion may be true. Someone is choosing a cholera bacteria with the fastest spread and the highest mortality rate!" Huo Xiaoyu said solemnly.
"Article-made cholera epidemic, biological weapons!"
