Chapter 655

"Wang, you are really a genius. Although I think this instant noodle is only delicious for the first few bites, and the soup is delicious, it is very cheap and can fill the stomach. The taste of the drink is also very good, and it feels much better than Coke. As long as this instant noodle is promoted, maybe you will receive military ration procurement orders. Wang, my friend, you are going to make big money."

Aige, who came for the first time, satisfiedly drank the noodle soup of the instant noodles, gave a thumbs up to Wang Yan, and said good things very politely.

"Haven't I always been very wise?" Wang Yan shrugged his shoulders, looking like it should be so, and said: "Making money is certain. I once said that in this year, just doing something casually can make money, but it's just a question of how much. As for military ration procurement, it is not realistic. Although instant noodles are good, they don't have such high nutrition and energy, and the feeling of fullness is only temporary. It won't be long before you are hungry again. Even if someone asks me to purchase, I don't have the guts to sell."

While talking, he greeted the people in the police station and other foreign devils, and then left their position, walked along the long table, holding a bottle of soda himself, and talked to everyone with a smile, asking about their feelings.

He said before to see if these people could still laugh. Now there was a result. These people who treated him as a joke were all smiling now... but what they thought inside was unknown. They were probably sour.

After all, fast-moving consumer goods like instant noodles and drinks, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they could definitely make big money. Because they were cheap and really had a few good tastes.

Soda was not fresh, but "Shanghai Soda" was very fresh. Fruit juice was not fresh, but "Shanghai Hawthorn Juice" was very fresh. This was the first brand in China, a drink brand developed, built, and produced by the Chinese themselves. In this era full of smoke and death, it was given a special meaning.

As for instant noodles, that was even more amazing. It was led by a Green Gang thug leader like Wang Yan, who led Datong University teachers and students to produce it after half a year. They even researched a new plastic packaging and straw. What kind of hell joke was this? A thug doing research, and he actually succeeded, and it looked like he was about to make big money. It would be strange if these people were not sour...

After dealing with it all the way, Wang Yan came to the middle position. This was arranged according to status, and there was no need for others to guide. Knowing that Wang Yan took some foreign devils and Japanese, as well as Chinese celebrities to the front to sit, the rest of the people would naturally compare themselves.

As a famous big capitalist on the Shanghai Bund, the Ming family's strength was still very strong. However, because they were a merchant family, even if there were people in the concession and puppet government in the family's collateral branches, they were all unimportant small roles, so they sat in the middle position, which could be considered the highest group among merchants on the Shanghai Bund. After all, the people who came today were not simple, and the Ming family could be considered okay.

However, in this era, money was very useful, but it didn't have as much effect as imagined. The power held in hand was the most important. Of course, it didn't mean the Ming family was not good. They had a network of relationships built with money, but obviously, they were not strong enough. When facing some key things, these relationships were useless. It was like Wang Yan also sent money to Dai Yunong, and he still turned his face and didn't recognize people. This was still under the condition that Wang Yan himself had great power and influence.

The Ming family couldn't even handle Feng Nairong and those people. After all, Feng Nairong and others also controlled the union, and they were professionals who could take people's lives at any time. The Ming family was just doing business properly, with some ability, but not enough, very fragile.

"Mr. Wang, this is the eldest lady of the Ming family who controls the Ming family, Ming Jing. She took over the family business at the age of seventeen and made it flourish. She is truly a heroine who does not let her eyebrows be shaved. She is also your neighbor. The Ming Tianyue Gongguan next door is theirs."

Gu Zhang Yongcheng introduced to Wang Yan thoughtfully. Although they were neighbors, they had no interaction before, and Wang Yan didn't know her. Gu Zhang Yongcheng participated in the distribution of invitations, and he had been the manager of Yonghua Industrial for many years. He had dealt with these people on the Shanghai Bund more or less, and knew more people than Wang Yan, so he followed Wang Yan to help introduce.

Wang Yan smiled and reached out to shake hands with Ming Jing: "I have long heard of the deeds of the eldest lady of the Ming family. There is only one such person on the Shanghai Bund. Seeing you today, it is indeed extraordinary. I remember when I moved to Wang Tianyue Gongguan a few months ago, you sent me a congratulatory gift. As a result, we have been neighbors for more than half a year, and today we finally met. At that time, I also asked people to tell you that if you have trouble, you can come to find me. You haven't found me for such a long time. Is the Ming family's business good, and you don't need Wang Mou's help?"

"I haven't encountered any big trouble before. Mainly, mentioning your name can solve many small problems. You don't have to call me eldest lady, just call me by my name. This is my brother, Ming Tai. He heard about your legendary experience, and this time you did such a big thing, so he was clamoring to follow to see the world."

Ming Jing pulled Ming Tai behind her. Seeing him stunned and not knowing what to say, she pulled him angrily: "What are you stunned for? Call someone."

Ming Tai smiled awkwardly and hurriedly opened his mouth: "Hello Mr. Wang, I am Ming Tai."

Seeing his empty inside, Wang Yan nodded with a smile. This was a very normal thing. Although he was not born to the Ming family, Ming Tai was well taken care of and grew up pampered, with some habits of a young master who was sloppy.

Such a young master, when facing a thug leader like Wang Yan, being a bit uneasy was not surprising. It would be strange if he was not uneasy. The upper-class society of the Shanghai Bund was only so big, and there were only so many young masters. Even if Ming Tai had not been arrested, his friends and the like must have been taken to the police station for extortion. So there was fear and curiosity in Ming Tai's eyes when looking at Wang Yan.

Ming Tai dared to show his teeth when facing Wang Tianfeng, because he didn't know what kind of person Wang Tianfeng was, and wasn't he honest later? Normally, Ming Tai didn't deserve it, even if his brother was Ming Lou.

And knowing what kind of person Wang Yan was, Ming Tai, who was only twenty years old and well protected, and whose social experience might not even be as good as a little beggar on the street, was a bit unbearable. His growth was trained by Wang Tianfeng in Hunan.

Wang Yan patted his shoulder kindly: "Kid, how is it? Are the instant noodles and drinks I made okay?"

Ming Tai accompanied with a smiling face: "Instant noodles are delicious, drinks are delicious, Mr. Wang will definitely make big money."

"Your brother can speak." Wang Yan looked at Ming Jing with a smile, then used a little force, patted Ming Tai's shoulder: "We are all neighbors, I must give the Ming family face. Kid, in the future, when you play outside, as long as you don't provoke the Japanese, you can mention my name if you encounter trouble."

Ming Jing patted Ming Tai: "He is just spoiled since childhood, making trouble all day and not letting people worry. I am relieved to have your words. Ming Tai, hurry up and thank Mr. Wang."

"Thank you Mr. Wang." Ming Tai thanked obediently.

Wang Yan waved his hand: "There are many people coming today, and there are many people to greet, so I won't talk to you much..."

Before he finished speaking, Ming Jing said: "Mr. Wang, I have something to trouble you. This is not a place to talk. Do you have time tonight? I invite you to dinner."

This remark, Ming Jing said a bit stiffly, which showed that she didn't ask people much on weekdays. It was also normal. She only needed to earn less and send out more money to settle most problems. Although her status was not high, few people really made things difficult for such a rich person. After all, the difference between long-term and killing the chicken to get the eggs could be understood by everyone.

"Dinner is fine. We are neighbors, and it's not far. How about this, you bring Ming Tai over after six o'clock tonight." Wang Yan shook his head and smiled: "That's it, excuse me."

After speaking, Wang Yan left with Gu Zhang Yongcheng. Until there was a distance, he stopped and asked: "How old is this Ming Jing?"

"Thirty-three... four..." Gu Zhang Yongcheng didn't react for a while. Who would study how old people are when they are fine? He was stunned for a moment, reacted, and asked carefully: "Brother Yan, you didn't fall in love with her, did you?"

"Is that all in my head? Can't it be curiosity?" Wang Yan glanced at him: "Go, greet others..."

He really didn't have this intention, just simply asked about the age. The Ming family had money, and Ming Jing naturally maintained it well, without any old appearance. Seeing her in person was much more beautiful than watching the TV series in the real world. After all, the actors in the play were older, but here, there was a living father to rationalize it.

This woman Ming Jing could not be brought to his side, because the character given to her by the plot was a bit dull, and she didn't show the appearance of a strong woman who had controlled a huge industry for many years. Her city was not deep enough, and she didn't have the wisdom matching her experience. Her strong appearance was only displayed on the three Ming brothers, and what she showed was more like a middle-aged shrew. Of course, that was her care for the three brothers.

If Wang Yan really had something with her, that would be looking for death himself. It was fine to help in the back...

"Eldest sister, this Wang Yan looks very easy to talk to." Seeing Wang Yan walk away, Ming Tai whispered to Ming Jing beside him while eating instant noodles.

"Really a silly child who doesn't understand anything. Look over there. Which one is not kind-hearted? But what kind of people are they? They are Japanese, British, French, American, as well as traitors of the puppet government, and thugs of the Green Gang. These people don't know how many evil things they have done on weekdays. Look at which one of them is easy to talk to?"

Ming Jing's head lifted toward the many people sitting before her, and she whispered to Ming Tai: "Wang Yan can let so many people come to support him, and everyone is polite to him. Do you think he can be easy to talk to? You are not young anymore, can you grow a heart? When your eldest brother was as old as you, he could give me ideas. You are good, making trouble for me all day."

Ming Tai didn't care at all. He didn't know how much money was in the family, nor did he know what worries he had, nor did he know what he should do. Wasn't he idle all day, just thinking about nothing, going out to mix with other young masters and young ladies?

He leaned closer again and asked: "Eldest sister, then you say can our family's affairs be solved by him? I heard that he has some relationship with Wang Manchun. This time the Wang family is targeting us, I am afraid he will not intervene, right?"

"Whether he intervenes depends on how much sincerity we take out. People like him only have interests in their eyes. Do you think he cares about any Wang Manchun? I found out before that his parents were Red Party worker leaders, who died under the gun when the Nationalist Party staged a coup. Look, has he been affected? Isn't he still closely related to high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Party? He doesn't care about blood feuds, let alone a woman. Alright, there are many people and eyes, let's talk when we get home."

Ming Jing carefully looked around, met Wang Manchun's gaze from afar, returned a look of contempt, hummed, and continued to bury her head in eating instant noodles and drinking drinks...

Wang Manchun came with Muramoto Ichiro on behalf of Nantian Yangzi. This was also the first time she tasted the things Wang Yan made. The overall feeling was still good, but she was spoiled by that old woman Ming Jing, and she felt that it was not fragrant at all.

Just as performed in the play, she hated that old woman Ming Jing very much. Perhaps she also had regrets, thinking that if Ming Jing hadn't stopped her and Ming Lou at the beginning, she wouldn't have walked to this step today. Being scolded as a traitor and being an executioner, that was not a job for a delicate woman.

However, it is also interesting to say that on the one hand, she wanted to continue her relationship with Ming Lou, and on the other hand, she was saying bad things about Ming Jing in front of the three Ming brothers, and even threatened to kill Ming Jing. Very schizophrenic feeling, a mental patient.

Wang Yan was very sure about this point. Wang Manchun had mental problems. Not to mention that he knew a lot, even ordinary people should know that a woman who is extremely dissolute in bed and reveals her sexiness, is engaged in a job full of various conspiracies and tricks, and takes people's lives at every turn, and more likely, it is really because of her complex feelings for Ming Lou and her hatred for Ming Jing that she embarked on this road. Can this woman be normal?

Wang Yan didn't know Wang Manchun's psychological activities here, and didn't have the heart to pay attention. He was very busy. Before, Yu Manli was clamoring to come, saying she wanted to see what the celebrities on the Shanghai Bund looked like. Wang Yan didn't agree. If Yu Manli came, she would inevitably clash with Wang Manchun, which would easily cause trouble.

After seeing the guests who came to support him, these people basically finished eating instant noodles and drinking drinks, and left consciously. Wang Yan's pretense was also installed, the hype was also cooperated, and the face was also given. Why should they stay in this broken factory?

Those who didn't leave were the reporters. They hadn't eaten yet. And for these people who used pens to engage in propaganda, Wang Yan was also very caring. He not only sent some goods to every newspaper office, but also issued separate exchange vouchers to the reporters and photographers who came to interview. They could go to the designated place to collect two boxes of instant noodles, one box of soda, and one box of hawthorn juice.

Wang Yan's requirements were not high. Within a month, let instant noodles and drinks spread throughout China. His instant noodles had no one to grab business, but the drink market was not calm. There were several foreign factories in Shanghai.

At this time, drinks could not distinguish between high and low. It depended on who had low cost and whose reputation was good. Foreigners were so bad. They would definitely not let Wang Yan's drink factory go smoothly, and there would still be fighting.

At the same time, his thugs were not idle either. One by one, they were getting small carts, carrying instant noodles and drinks, as well as coal and stoves for heating water, going to various prosperous places to set up stalls to promote free distribution and on-site tasting.

They stood there looking like they were not easy to provoke, which gave people great pressure. So it well avoided the matter of being taken advantage of. Otherwise, just the homeless and little beggars could divide all their things.

At the same time, there were also people starting to go to various shops and restaurants to promote, clearly writing the purchase price and selling price, and selling them uniformly. The thug leader was the famous Green Gang tycoon, and the thugs under him came out to promote. Who dared not order goods?
