This was also the reason why Inspector Johnson was so furious when Japanese spies killed the manager of his French restaurant.
He was not that concerned about the death of the French manager, but he wanted to pay a large sum of money to the French manager's family.
This French restaurant suffered a loss of life and was unable to continue its business, which caused him huge financial losses.
Johnson really had no other choice, so in order to make a comeback, he began to find ways to establish connections in France.
Finally, he bought a batch of several thousand tubes of sulfa drugs from a sulfa drug factory in his hometown of Bedor, France.
Johnson took these few bottles of sulfa drugs and transported them to Shanghai for sale, which immediately caused a rush in the market.
Although the price was not as high as a small yellow croaker on the black market, he still made a lot of money from this trip.
At least they had the money to find a high-end location in the French Concession, rent a spacious store, and reopen a high-end French steak restaurant.
But for now, Johnson is hesitant about whether to continue reselling sulfa drugs or continue opening the French steak restaurant.
Obviously, reselling sulfa drugs would be more profitable, but Johnson had limited funds.
Under the premise that he could not get the wholesale agent of the French sulfa drug factory, it would be difficult for him to get the retail goods.
At this time, Zhang Jianglin and Shimazaki Jiro brought valuable gifts to Johnson's home in the French Concession, hoping to be received by Inspector Johnson.
When Johnson heard that a major Japanese businessman wanted to meet him, he was initially disgusted.
After all, his French steak restaurant was ruined by Japanese spies.
Johnson himself had an exasperating dislike for the Japanese.
When Johnson learned that the other party had come with a valuable gift, he became hesitant again.
After all, no one can resist money, especially when he is short of money.
After much thought, Johnson decided to meet Jiro Shimazaki, the big businessman of "Shimazaki Yokado".
It was only after Johnson sold several thousand sulfa drugs in large quantities that Zhang Jianglin and Shimazaki Jiro learned that he had procurement channels from French pharmaceutical companies.
In order to give Inspector Johnson a good first impression, Zhang Jianglin prepared a golden statue of the Virgin Mary for the Frenchman Johnson this time.
Compared to the Guanyin and Buddha statues that Chinese people like.
Foreigners like this kind of half-covered and half-exposed statue of the Virgin Mary with a romantic atmosphere.
When Zhang Jianglin and Jiro Shimazaki were invited into the room and the one-foot-tall golden statue was placed in front of Johnson.
He had a cold expression just now, but then he became visibly enthusiastic.
"Hahaha, President Shimazaki, right? Just come if you want to, and you have to be so polite!"
"This golden statue looks so lifelike. It must have taken a lot of effort on your part, right?!"
"Since you're so sincere, I'll accept it without hesitation! By the way, what's the matter with you coming to see me this time? Why don't you tell me now?"
The mouth that eats is soft, and the hand that takes is short, and Johnson is no exception.
If you accept a valuable gift from someone else, you should always listen to what they are looking for!
Jiro Shimazaki saw that Inspector Johnson was quite satisfied with the gift.
So he first introduced Zhang Jianglin next to him, and then explained to him the purpose of their visit today.
"Inspector Johnson, the person next to me is Mr. Zhang, the Chinese manager of Shimazaki Yokado."
"We came to you to discuss the purchase of a large quantity of sulfa drugs from France."
"Money is not a problem, but we hope to cooperate with you and try to get the exclusive distributorship of the French pharmaceutical company in China. Do you think this business is of interest to you?"
