Chapter 900 A Gift for Shunsuke Aburatsu
"Look at what you said. I've already said that I'm after our friendship. Do I really have to ask you to do something?"
Dominic shook his head and said, "Let's put it this way. In your country, it's called settling accounts clearly between brothers. Besides, it's not like I'm doing something for you. It should be something the bureau can do for you."
Lin Ze thought for a moment and said softly, "I want to build a factory."
"That's all? This is too small a matter. Master Lin, where do you want to build the factory?"
"In America, I need the intelligence agency to protect my factory. I want to personally own all the rights and interests of the factory. In addition, the military must purchase all the products produced by the factory at market price."
"Master Lin, let me ask you, what do you plan to produce in this factory?"
"penicillin."
"What the hell?" Dominic looked confused.
"Penicillin."
Damn it! ?
"Master Lin, you...how did you know about this thing? Do you have the technical ability to produce it?"
Penicillin was discovered more than ten years ago, but what was lacking was the ability to mass-produce it industrially.
Both England and the United States attach great importance to this drug, and almost all scientific researchers in this field are under the surveillance of the Intelligence Bureau. However, large-scale mass production has not yet been achieved. However, it will be soon. Now Florey's team has mastered the purification technology, and industrial production will be possible in two to three years at the earliest.
Lin Ze's proposal to set up a factory in America was also the result of careful consideration.
It would definitely be better if this thing could be built on one's own territory, but the key question is where to find an absolutely safe place?
If it is manufactured in Tianjin, problems may arise over time. Even if Lin Ze is a big shot in the front army, he is innocent but guilty of possessing a treasure. Once the products are produced and shipped in large quantities, it is inevitable that someone with ulterior motives will track them down.
Even if we go to a place like Hong Kong City, it will be occupied by the end of the year when the Pacific War begins.
Choosing the United States also involves risks and benefits, but overall, the benefits will be greater.
First of all, from the perspective of risks, first, the United States is likely to steal technology, and second, after the United States is fully involved in the war, it is likely to directly confiscate the factory.
But this problem is not unsolvable.
Lin Ze now has a good relationship with the Intelligence Bureau, and after the intelligence provided this time is verified, I believe the Intelligence Bureau's attention to Lin Ze will reach a new level.
This is a layer of protection. For the sake of a steady stream of important intelligence, the Intelligence Bureau will not want to fall out with Lin Ze. After all, intelligence is the foundation of their existence. Although penicillin is important, it is also vital to the military and is not in the vital interests of the Intelligence Bureau. Therefore, they will protect Lin Ze's factory for the sake of intelligence cooperation.
The second level of guarantee was that Lin Ze took the initiative to propose that all the penicillin produced be purchased by the military. Of course, a portion of the goods had to be shipped back to China and allocated by Lin Ze himself.
In this way, there will not be much conflict with the interests of the military. After all, it doesn't matter which company they purchase the goods from. Now only Lin Ze has the goods, and they are allowed to purchase them. If they really want to forcibly confiscate the factory, and if Lin Ze sends people to destroy the production line, it will be a loss.
As for stealing technology...
Let’s put it this way, from cracking the technical principles, to manufacturing production equipment, to perfecting the production process, and then to formally organizing production, this process cannot be completed in two or three years. By that time, the price of penicillin will have been lowered by Lin Ze, and perhaps more advanced drugs and more advanced production processes will also be available. As long as there is a generation gap, there is no need to worry about technology leakage.
So at least until the end of the war, until Lin Ze and the Intelligence Agency still have common interests, it is safe to set up a factory in America.
Dominic is now completely convinced. He would probably believe it if Lin Ze told him that he is a god.
"Master Lin, I will contact the bureau immediately to report this matter. I will report to you as soon as there is any progress."
After seeing Dominic off, Lin Ze picked up the phone again and called Angelina at the Six Nations Hotel.
"There's something I want you to do. Contact Shunsuke Aburatsu..."
The purpose of revealing the information to Shunsuke Aburatsu is not to make money, but to lay the foundation for future cooperation. Just because the big brother in the north doesn't believe his information now doesn't mean he won't believe it in the future. When the war really breaks out, they will know how awesome Master Lin is.
Nowadays, Lin Ze's intelligence network can directly influence the United States and the Big Brother in the North, and thus indirectly influence England and Germany. At the same time, it maintains contact with the German consulate. Lin Ze himself is a member of the Military Control Commission and has intelligence personnel in the Red Zone under his command.
The scale of this network is unique not only in the Far East but also in the world, comparable to or even surpassing behemoths like the American Intelligence Agency.
............................
Shunsuke Aburatsu has been having a good time lately.
In the past, he lived in fear every day and was even on the verge of life and death several times.
But ever since he was rescued by Lin Ze during the internal audit incident, he has been miraculously safe.
Not only did he not encounter any suspicion, but even gathering intelligence was much smoother.
Like all intelligence officers operating in Peiping, he occasionally went to the Six Nations Hotel.
Although the Six Nations Hotel was an intelligence base in the past, it was only a distribution center for diplomatic intelligence.
But since the emergence of "Mr. N", the Six Nations Hotel is no longer just a gathering place, it is simply a spy holy land.
All kinds of people are active here, and the secret service department's strategy is to loosen up rather than block. Not all intelligence personnel need to be arrested. They are arresting the resistance elements. Keeping an intelligence center like the Six Nations Hotel is also very helpful for the Japanese to grasp various information.
Of course, the reason why the Secret Service Department took this stance was also related to Lin Ze’s secret promotion.
Nowadays in the Secret Service Department, Kitahara Ransuke is nominally in charge of the work, but Lin Ze is more effective in speaking than Kitahara. There are so many senior military officers in the Secret Service Department, and who doesn't have black material in Director Niu's hands, and who hasn't received small gifts from Director Niu?
Shunsuke Aburatsu sat in the cafe of the Rokukoku Hotel, watching people coming and going outside the window.
A gorgeous Slavic waitress brought him dessert.
Shunsuke Aburatsu also likes to eat sweets. It seems that people who work in highly stressful jobs like to eat sweets.
But today's dessert was a little different. Shunsuke Aburatsu cut the dessert with a knife and found a note inside.
There was only one line of words on the note: Please go to the locker room on the third floor. There is a small gift prepared for you in locker No. 32.
The signature is: Mr. N.
Shunsuke Aburatsu's pupils shrank slightly, and he calmly put the note into his mouth and swallowed it.
Then he slowly finished his coffee and dessert, and walked towards the elevator.
