Chapter 1167: The deal is reached
Ning Zhiheng also heard some clues from Yong Feng's mouth. It was not that she did not have the ability to steal the drawings directly, but that she was concerned about the prosecution of the British intelligence department.
If what was expected was not bad, Yong Feng's mole would definitely be able to access high-end secrets from the British. She needed to protect the safety of the mole and maintain this extremely precious information channel, so she would rather give up half of the profits, adopt more secret actions, and secretly copy the drawings and film.
In order to verify this conjecture, Ning Zhiheng then asked tentatively: "Miss Yong, I can pay another 150,000 US dollars to acquire the original film in the hands of the British. Remember, it is the original version. I want exclusive resources. How about it? Are you interested?"
As Ning Zhiheng expected, Yong Feng simply rejected his proposal and replied: "Sorry, Mr. Lin, I can't do it, I can't bear such consequences."
This mole has a special identity and is the most valuable mole in her hands. In order to develop this person, Yong Feng has invested a lot, and the relationship between the two is cooperation, so she cannot restrict this person, so she flatly rejected Mr. Lin's proposal.
This disappointed Ning Zhiheng. He thought more. Since Yong Feng had channels to obtain drawings for aviation torpedoes, he had the ability to obtain drawings for G-type engines.
But judging from Yong Feng's attitude, I was afraid that even if he bought the engine drawing film, it would be just a copy. He would never want the British to get this drawing, otherwise he would have no bargaining chips to negotiate with the British, and his value would be reduced by half.
But he couldn't say anything more, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand Miss Yong's difficulties, so you can get a deal now!"
Yong Feng turned his head and signaled that his assistant Nie Xin took out a file bag from the side and handed it to Yong Feng.
Yong Feng took it and pushed it directly in front of Ning Zhiheng: "Mr. Lin, take a look."
Ning Zhiheng opened the file bag and there was a plate of film inside. He took it in his hand and looked carefully. There were two types of microfilm, one was flat film type and the other was rolled. The portion in his hand was rolled, and the neatly plated on a black shaft.
He gently unfolded the film. At this time, Nie Xin handed over a magnifying glass from the side, Ning Zhiheng took it in his hand, corresponding to the film, and carefully checked it.
Generally speaking, reading microfilm requires specific reading equipment, as well as dedicated projection equipment and screens. However, if it is only used to check the authenticity, you can also use a high-power magnifying glass to view it. Of course, you can only conduct a simple inspection. If you read it, it will take too much time.
Slowly adjust the distance, and the handwriting on the microfilm gradually appears, all written in German and the drawings are reflected.
Ning Zhiheng has no problem with Japanese and English, but it is much worse for German.
In the early 1930s, the National Government and the German government signed a military advisory agreement, and Germany began to help the Chinese government train a new type of army. Units with German helmets, German uniforms and German ordnances began to appear in the Kuomintang army. These elite troops participated in major battles many times during the War of Resistance, which had a profound impact on the Kuomintang army.
This cooperation also extended to the Whampoa Military Academy. During Ning Zhiheng's study at school, there were many German instructors, and many textbooks also included German. Ning Zhiheng had some contact with it. Of course, he could only do some simple reading. After only a moment of reading, he knew that there was no problem with this microfilm.
"Very good!" Ning Zhiheng put down the magnifying glass in his hand, put the film on the roll, then took out the wallet from his arms, took out two bank notices, and handed them to Yong Feng.
"This is the promissory note of HSBC Hong Kong, with US$150,000 paid in one go, and both of them are not owed!"
"Mr. Lin is intent!" Yong Feng's face suddenly showed joy. She reached out to take the two promissory notes and was very excited. This was the largest transaction she had made since she started a business of intelligence.
Moreover, in general intelligence transactions, half of the amount is paid first, and then verified the authenticity of the information, and then paid the other half of the amount. However, this time the other party paid it happily in one go, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
There is a reason for Ning Zhiheng to do this. The drawings of the aviation torpedo are just an accessory. His real goal is the drawings of the G-type engine. In order to show sincerity, he simply paid the final payment in advance. At this time, he continued to ask: "So, Miss Yong, this transaction is over. I would like to ask, how confident are you in the drawings of the G-type engine?"
At this time, Yong Feng's spirit was naturally excited and immediately replied: "Mr. Lin, I will do my best. According to my opinion, I have great hope. I promise that once I succeed, I will contact you as soon as possible. You have the right to refute."
Speaking of this, she looked up again and said, "But you also know that the value of the engine drawings and the torpedo drawings is far different. My offer is $500,000. What do you think?"
"Of course there is no problem. I said, I will never bargain!" Ning Zhiheng smiled slightly and said calmly.
He was determined to win the engine drawings, and the benefits involved were very great. Even if Yongfeng asked for a price of one million, he would not say the word "no". However, he still tried to convince Yongfeng, so he said solemnly: "Miss Yong, I still hope to enjoy the resources exclusively. After a quick turn of the price, can you think about it again?"
Yong Feng couldn't help but feel confused when he heard this. Mr. Lin made such a big deal and took out one million dollars at a time. You can imagine the strength of the other party. However, the other party's background is the Chongqing government, and he can understand it even with such confidence.
To be honest, this time the information transaction of the drawings was a good opportunity she had never had. If the transaction was really successful, it would be worth the gains of many years. She pondered for a long time and asked in confusion: "Mr. Lin, you don't need to spend this money. If the Germans and Japanese are not willing to get this technology for confidentiality, why do you have to be so deliberate? You just need to get the technology."
Ning Zhiheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "Ms. Yong, do you think we are just getting technology. What's the use of our technical capabilities? Can we really build aircraft and warships? To be honest, it's just for trading with Britain and the United States. Therefore, ensuring that the drawings do not fall into the hands of others can protect our interests to the greatest extent. You'd better consider my proposal again. Miss Yong, opportunities are not available every time!"
Yong Feng took a deep breath and thought about it for a long time again, but finally shook his head.
Still no! This disappointed Ning Zhiheng very much. He could see that Yong Feng was willing to agree to him, but she really couldn't bear the serious consequences and finally chose to give up.
Ning Zhiheng was secretly anxious, but Hong Kong was not his territory after all, and he did not have enough power to restrict Yong Feng. And now he still had to rely on this woman to achieve his goal and find drawings, otherwise he would rely solely on his own strength and the possibility of success in the end was very small.
He had no choice but to nod and said, "I understand, I don't force anyone to do anything. Then we will follow the agreement, Miss Yong, I'll wait for your good news."
"Sure, certain! Thank you Mr. Lin for your understanding!"
The conversation between the two sides ended here, Ning Zhiheng stopped staying and stood up and said goodbye and left.
When Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi left, Nie Xin on the side couldn't help but say to Yong Feng: "Miss, why didn't you think too much? You refused so quickly. The price is twice as different, one million US dollars! Tsk tsk!"
Yong Feng glared at him and said angrily: "What's the use of having money to make money but having life? We can't do it at all. Do you dare to lie to them? Look at that Mr. Lin, just look at those eyes and you will know what role it is! Besides, the Chongqing government behind them, we can't afford to offend, and we can't just stare at money, otherwise something will happen sooner or later!"
At the end, Yong Feng's tone was already very strict. Nie Xin was her assistant. Some things need to be discussed in detail, and you cannot take a wrong step.
Moreover, this time the meeting left Yong Feng deeply impressed the mysterious Mr. Lin. She could see that this person had a dignity and a calm manner. He was definitely a big shot in the Chongqing government for a long time. He couldn't afford to offend him, so he should not have any more details and safety is the priority.
Ning Zhiheng and Ji Hongyi left George Hotel, and soon the guards came up and arrived at the door of the car. Ning Zhiheng whispered: "Look at Yongfeng, I want to know her whereabouts."
Ji Hongyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, I have arranged eyeliners around me."
The group got into the car and left quickly. Ning Zhiheng sat in the back seat, took out the drawings and film from the official document bag and carefully checked it. After a long time, he put it back in the document bag and asked in a low voice: "Hongyi, you have been dealing with Yong Feng for a long time. You said that a profit-oriented intelligence dealer can't touch his mind for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He repeatedly rejected my proposal. Do you really don't like money? What exactly makes her so determined?"
Ji Hongyi thought for a while and replied: "It's indeed a bit abnormal, but she's afraid of offending the British intelligence agency, which makes sense."
"Just, an intelligence dealer is still afraid of these?" Ning Zhiheng looked disdainful. He thought for a moment, "I don't think it must be because she is determined. It is very likely that she cannot let his mole do this. I guess this mole has a high status among the British. Once his safety is endangered, Yong Feng is also afraid of endangering herself, so she doesn't dare to take risks."
