On the third day after Lu Xiyan arrived in Kunming, he received an instruction from the organization to meet someone at the "Xinyue" cafe on Jinbi Road.

Meng'an Company cannot only cooperate with the Military Control Commission, as this is not in line with the businessman's approach.

Moreover, Lu Xiyan had long planned to open Anping Pharmacy in Kunming, Chongqing and other places to cover up the smuggling of imported drugs with legitimate drug import and export business.

But in these places, he does not have enough funds to expand.

But you can seek partners and shareholding in business to achieve your goal.

This will help him establish direct contact with the organization. The person he wants to meet today is the organization's partner who will arrange cooperation with him.

General Manager of Guanghua Trade Bank Southwest District.

The "Xinyue" cafe is not big, with only one storefront, but there are three floors up and down, and the depth is relatively long, about ten or twenty meters long; there is a door in the backyard, leading to the east to North Back Street.

At the entrance to the first floor, there are solid high-backed ottomans and strip tables like train car seats, which are suitable for two or three friends or couples to sit opposite each other without disturbing each other.

The second and third floors are elegant seats, and the round table is used. When Lu Xiyan arrived, it was a few minutes away from the agreed time, and the person he had not arrived yet.

The boss’s surname is Ruan, he is from Annan, and he is also a woman, so the decoration in this store has a feminine beauty and poetic charm.

The store mainly sells coffee and Western food. The black coffee here is very famous. It has selected high-quality coffee beans in Annan, which are ground and cooked in real time. It tastes mellow. French crust bread and special signature dish clam shell meat.

This small shop is very famous, and many people come here, especially those who love to drink black coffee.

However, the consumption here is not low. Most people can come here once a while, but if they come here often, they have to consider the ability to withstand the wallet.

Since I have come, I naturally have to taste it, otherwise wouldn’t I go to Baoshan and return empty-handed?

Lu Xiyan ordered two cups of freshly ground black coffee. I guess the coffee was almost cooked and delivered to you when the person you were meeting.

There are the latest newspapers and weekly magazines here, and there is also a small bandstage for guests to enjoy and show off their talents.

Lu Xiyan took two newspapers casually, sat down, and started reading.

"Sir, is there anyone at this location?"

"Oh, not yet." Lu Xiyan looked up and saw a man wearing a long gray cloth jacket, with wide ears and a little rich.

"Thank you."

"Sir, are you waiting for someone?"

"yes."

"Then I'll ask, do you want a girlfriend?" the man sat down and continued to ask.

"No, I'm already married and I don't have a girlfriend." Lu Xiyan said.

"Then you must be waiting for a business partner, right?"

"How do you know I am in business?" Lu Xiyan put down the newspaper in his hand and looked directly at the other party and asked.

"Your temperament and style are obvious to you, especially the jade gold ring on your right hand, which is not something that ordinary people can have."

"Is that so? This is given to me by a friend of mine." Lu Xiyan smiled, "I don't know how valuable it is?"

"Is that true? I also have a jade ring here, which was also given by a friend. It seems that this one with you is the same hand."

"Is that so coincidental?" Lu Xiyan smiled.

The man took out a jade ring and put it on the table. The two were compared and they were indeed the same source, and the code words and tokens matched each other.

"My surname is Lu, my name is Xiaozhang. What do you call me brother Tai?"

"Tan Zhuo." Lu Xiyan used a pseudonym, but this pseudonym is actually Tan Si's real name, but Tan Si doesn't use it now.

His identity is top secret in the organization. Even though he knew that the person named Lu Xiaozhang in front of him was his own, he still hid his true identity.

This is very normal in underground work. Many underground workers use pseudonyms and even use pseudonyms internally, for the sake of confidentiality.

"Hello Brother Tan, I believe you know my identity too." Lu Xiaozhang said, "Let's stop going around the circle and just talk about how to cooperate, right?"

"Sir, your coffee."

"You didn't come just now, I decided to order a cup of black coffee for you and try it together. This is my first time here." Lu Xiyan said with a smile.

"Okay, it's actually my first time here." Lu Xiaozhang also smiled.

"please."

"Yes, such mellow coffee is hard to drink even in big cities like Shanghai or Chongqing." Lu Xiaozhang said with appreciation.

"Well, it's really good. I have always liked to drink mocha. I rarely drink this pure coffee, but it tastes unique. The aroma in the bitterness can stimulate people's taste buds." Lu Xiyan said.

"Mr. Tan knows so much about coffee?"

"I have been abroad for a while, so I know it better. However, I also like domestic tea. I also drink a lot of Pu'er tea and green tea." Lu Xiyan said with a smile.

"Then I will definitely invite Mr. Tan to have tea when I have the chance." Lu Xiaozhang nodded.

"Mr. Lu, my identity is the special representative of Meng'an Company. Our company may set up offices in Kunming or Chongqing. In the future, five to ten Anping pharmacies will be opened in these two cities. If possible, we will expand to some key cities. So, what we need is a strong partner. Does Mr. Lu understand what I mean?"

"I understand, Mr. Tan means that he needs a partner who can eat both black and white, right?" Lu Xiaozhang nodded.

"Mr. Lu is a smart person, you can see through it at a glance." Lu Xiyan smiled slightly, "We have both medicines and purchase channels, and we don't lack funds for the time being, but what we need is that the partners have the ability to help us open up the joints in the local area. Of course, we also have our own relationships."

"Please rest assured by Mr. Tan, we can do this." Lu Xiaozhang thought for a moment, nodded and agreed.

"If our two companies cooperate, the dominance lies in me, and we need to take out a portion of the shares as dry shares. The returns of these dry shares will be a gift to powerful people. Do you not object to this?"

"No objection. The domestic business environment is like this, so we can only adapt." Lu Xiaozhang smiled bitterly. If he didn't feed those people with money, he would be unable to do business.

"Since you don't object, let's talk about the investment ratio and cooperation method." Lu Xiyan said.

"good."

Since the intention to cooperate has been decided and both parties are sincere, it is nothing more than a question of who invests how much and who will take control of the shares.

Although it is a family, Lu Xiyan wants to hold the equity in his hands. He now represents the "Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group", not his personal.

Finally, the two parties invested 1 million French currency to register and establish Hua'an Company, Guanghua Trading Bank invested 33.3% and Meng'an Company invested 66.4% of the funds.

Then, at a ratio of 2 to 1, 30% of the share income is taken as the expenses for the upper and lower management to protect the company's operations.

After the funds are in place, two Anping pharmacies will be built in Kunming and Chongqing.

After the cooperation agreement is officially signed, Huaan Company will become the general sales agent of Meng'an Company in the Guotong District. (Except for Japanese-occupied areas and smuggled drugs)

In addition, in other aspects of import and export trade, Meng'an Company has also reached a cooperation agreement with Guanghua Trade Bank. In addition, there is also Dahua Company of the Military Control Commission.

In this way, Lu Xiyan initially completed the strategic layout of entering the country from Annan.

Just come down, it depends on how much effect this line can play in the end. Time is already very tight, and the first batch of medicines purchased from Europe soon arrived ashore from Haifang Port.

Fortunately, Monte is staring at Hanoi, otherwise many procedures would not be handled so quickly. There is a shortage of Western medicine in China, especially medicines for treating gunshot wounds and frostbite.

“Happy cooperation!”

Next, Lu Xiyan and Lu Xiaozhang signed a memorandum of formal cooperation between the two companies and decided that Lu Xiaozhang would be the general manager of Huaan Company.

Meng'an Company set up an office in Kunming.

Xinmin Lane, Kunming Station Liaison Office of the Military Control Commission.

"Where did he go today?"

"I got up early in the morning, went to the flower and bird market, and then went to the jade market. I spent money to buy a few stones from the old Burma pit. This guy was really lucky. I cut a water plant and turned it at least ten times, and then sold it." Yan Xiaobao reported to Shen Jiehui that although Lu Xiyan's activities in Kunming these days were free, his whereabouts were under the control of the Military Commission.

"Then what?"

"Then he went to the 'Xinyue' cafe on Jinbi Road, had a cup of coffee, and had a lunch. He stayed for about an hour. When he came out, he bought some crusty bread."

“What about the afternoon?”

"I went to the Telegraph Bureau in the afternoon and sent a telegram to Meng'an Company in Shanghai. The content was that the cooperation had been negotiated and I would return soon." Yan Xiaobao said.

"Well, if you go and invite someone tomorrow, you will say there is news on the top of the mountain." Shen Jie ordered.

"Yes, team leader."

...

Lu Xiyan knew that all his actions in Kunming were under the surveillance of the Military Control Commission. He just thought that he had not discovered anything and no one should have been left behind.

If it weren't for the news from Shen Jie, he would have set out to return to Shanghai long ago.

The hospital-approved holiday has passed long ago.

Finally, Shen Jie sent someone to invite him over.

"Mr. Bian Que, Boss Dai replied and agreed to barter according to the teacher's method, which will save money and unnecessary trouble." Shen Jie said when he saw Lu Xiyan.

"Since that's the case, can we sign a memorandum of cooperation?"

"Of course." Shen Jie nodded.

The formal cooperation agreement will be signed by Tan Si from Hanoi, or Shen Jie will go to Hanoi to sign with Tan Si. Lu Xiyan only finalized the details of the cooperation between the two parties.

“Happy cooperation!”

"Happy cooperation!" The two hands were held together.

"Then I will book a plane ticket tomorrow to Changsha." Lu Xiyan said.

"Mr. Bian Que is not planning to go and have a look with him?"

"I won't go anymore. There is still something waiting for me to go back and deal with in Shanghai. It's better to go back earlier." Lu Xiyan did want to go to Chongqing, but time would not allow it.
