Chapter 543 Maybe We Are Very Strong
Naturally, the common people knew what it meant, and they all ran to Long Yun and kowtowed.
How can an official not care about his own reputation?
"Oh, it's what I should do. Otherwise, why would I be called a parent official?"
Wang Meng chuckled, this old guy is quite good at speaking colloquialisms.
"Fellow villagers, if you really want to thank Chairman Long Yun, go get an umbrella for the people!"
"Okay, let's go now!"
Long Yun waved his hands, ecstatic.
"No, I just did a little bit of work, it's all my duty!"
"Chairman Long, please don't refuse. This is the goodwill of the people. Please don't hurt the hearts of the people of Yunnan!"
Only then did Long Yun reluctantly shake hands with the common people one by one.
"Oh, that's thoughtful! All the elders and fellow villagers are thoughtful!"
Long Yun is also a smart man. Since Wang Meng has given him such a big gift, how could he not be grateful?
After the common people left, Long Yun took out a piece of paper equivalent to a land use certificate, which clearly stated in black and white the 20-year use rights of the land to the Independent Column.
"Brother Wang Meng, this place is now handed over to you. You must renovate it well to benefit the local people!"
"No problem. Our Director Mao Hang will be in charge of the coordination. Chairman Long, please take care of us."
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
After Wang Meng saw Long Yun off, he followed Mao Hang to the nearby Kunming Wujiaba Airport, ready to meet William whom he had not seen for a long time.
When they arrived at the airport, William waited for a long time.
"William, long time no see!"
"Wang, long time no see. I remember the last time we met... was last time!"
Wang Meng savored it carefully and found that although there was nothing wrong with this sentence, it seemed like nonsense.
"William, how are you doing recently? We finally managed to borrow troops from the Central Army this time, but we still have to rely on you to mediate, otherwise it won't be that easy!"
"It's all what we should do. We are allies now, and this cooperation has also brought a lot of benefits to Country M."
Wang Meng nodded, William's words hit the point.
As mentioned before, if Wang Meng could launch an assault directly from southern Henan when the Japanese launched the Henan, Hunan and Guangxi Campaign, cut off the Japanese marching route to the south, and completely shatter their fantasy of establishing a north-south passage in Datong, it would be great news for the M Army in Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
"Even so, we still have a good impression of Country M and look forward to further cooperation! By the way, we are going to send another batch of naval cadets to you in the next two days. Please arrange for them to practice on your warships!"
Compared with his previous straightforwardness, William hesitated and looked embarrassed this time.
"King, there is something I am not sure if I should tell you?"
As soon as Wang Meng said this, he knew it was definitely bad news.
It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.
"Speak, William!"
"Wang, in our country M, some pharmaceutical companies have already started large-scale production of penicillin. According to the current plan, if all goes well, the price of penicillin will drop to $100 per bottle by the end of this year.
Although its purity is not as high as what you provide, it can still deal with common infections.
So, maybe you are not so attractive to Country M now."
William lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly. Although it sounded like he was destroying his bridges after crossing them, that was the fact. When big countries compete, interests always come first.
"William, I appreciate your honesty. At least you haven't torn up the contract you signed before. From this point alone, it can be seen that Country M still cares about its reputation."
However, Wang Meng only said this for William to hear.
The reason why Country M did not tear up the contract was most likely because it had no intention of breaking off relations with the Independent Column at this moment.
Now the Independent Column seems to be about to replace the Chongqing government and become the most powerful team in China.
If the Independent Column is just an unknown local armed force, even if Country M does not tear up the contract openly, it will find various excuses and methods to not fulfill the remaining terms.
William sighed. Perhaps at this moment, his sigh could only express his mood.
For William personally, Wang Meng is undoubtedly the most far-sighted Chinese he has ever met. Even his immediate superior, the arrogant Louis, can't help but express his admiration for Wang Meng.
As an ally, this is a blessing, but as a potential enemy, it is dangerous.
"It's okay, William. You can produce penicillin in large quantities, which is also a blessing for the soldiers of Country M. However, if I come up with a medical device that can penetrate the human body and see the internal organs, I wonder if you are still interested in further cooperation?"
"X-rays? Wang, this is already a very mature technology in Country M. Perhaps you should learn more about it."
Wang Meng smiled. X-ray has long been a mature technology. How could he not know this?
"William. I'm not talking about an X-ray, I'm talking about an ultrasound!
X-rays are certainly a good thing, with strong penetrating power, convenience and speed, but they also have many disadvantages.
For example, X-ray is like a large piece of bread flattened and then shown to doctors. A broken leg or something like that can be seen very clearly, but because the bread is flattened, many tissues or organs are superimposed on the same point, making it difficult to determine the specific location of the lesion.
Moreover, X-rays are harmful to the human body.
However, our B-dynasty ultrasound examination does not have this disadvantage at all. It uses the echo of high-frequency sound waves to detect organs in the body and can display the situation of the detected position in real time.
Especially for checking the bladder, liver and pancreas of a person, it is absolutely reliable!"
Although William doesn't know much about the medical industry, he knows about bladders and livers!
"Wang, swear to God that you are not lying to me!"
"William, how could I lie to you? Our equipment has already started mass production, and Dr. Ke Lihua has already confirmed its efficacy in clinical practice! I'll send you the detailed instructions in two days!"
William was a little confused.
"King, why do you have to wait two days?"
"Hey, I have to ask Nicholas to apply for a patent for me first. By the way, do you want a TV? We have produced a lot!"
It turned out that Wang Meng had invented a television while doing an ultrasound, and was also planning to set up a TV station in Pingshun.
However, due to lack of manpower, the produced televisions can only be piled up in the warehouse.
"Uh, Wang, I didn't expect you could even make a TV now. But I'm sorry to tell you that there aren't that many TVs in the whole country of M. After all, there are only a few TV stations in the whole country!"
"Okay, then I'll send you the instructions and sample of the B-ultrasound machine in a couple of days, and you report to Louis truthfully.
What I want to tell you is that maybe we are very strong and you need to re-evaluate your strategic attitude towards us!"
