Lao Zhang bargained with the middle-aged man and finally sold the antique of the Sky-Swallowing Cicada for 600 yuan.
But after the middle-aged man left, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but frown slightly. After all, the middle-aged man gave him the feeling that he was Japanese.
Moreover, the status of this Japanese is definitely not low. In terms of temperament and tone of voice, he speaks more eloquently than the Chinese. But I just feel that he is quite sunny.
It's just that after the middle-aged man left, Lao Zhang became more alert, but he soon stopped thinking about it. After all, he really had something to do.
Chief Zhu was injured and came to Shanghai for treatment. Although he was allowed to enter the concession, it would be a big deal if the confidentiality work was not done well.
He took a deep breath, then looked at Xiao Shunzi, and said to Xiao Shunzi with a smile: "Shunzi, I'm going out for a trip. Yesterday they said they got another batch of good goods, let's see if I can buy them.
Bring a few here."
As he spoke, he made arrangements. At the same time, he picked up his briefcase and went directly upstairs.
Upstairs, Wang Xiaomeng was still there, not even knowing that something was wrong with Lao Zhang.
Arriving upstairs, Lao Zhang knocked directly on Xiao Meng's door.
"Dong dong dong!"
As the knock on the door rang, Lao Zhang said directly to Wang Xiaomeng inside: "Xiaomeng, I have to go out for something. If I am hungry, I will make something to eat in the kitchen!"
"knew!"
Wang Xiaomeng responded in the room, and then ran over to open the door.
As the door opened, he saw Lao Zhang standing outside the door holding a briefcase.
"Would you like to come in and do it for a while?"
"No, I still have to go look at the goods. New goods are coming over there to prevent all the good goods from being snatched away by others!"
"How about I go with you?"
"No, it's not convenient for you to be outside, so it's better to be careful!"
Lao Zhang refused directly, then put on his shoes and coat and walked directly outside. Dressed in a suit, he looked more like a businessman at this time.
Lao Zhang arrived downstairs, hailed a rickshaw directly at the door and headed towards the place where he usually buys goods.
Just as he was leaving, Wang Xiaomeng stood behind the curtain in the room upstairs, watching Lao Zhang leave, with a bit more complexity in his eyes.
After all, there were some things that she couldn't tell her.
Everything was developing in the direction of Mo Zhi. Even Wang Xiaomeng didn't notice it, but she still let out a long sigh and looked at a young man with leather shoes sitting not far away.
But he just glanced at it and lowered the curtain again.
Wang Xiaomeng, who sat back on the bed, couldn't help but scratch his hair, and even buried his whole body under the quilt, sobbing quietly.
After all, she is just a telegraph operator, and many messages do not need her to be translated. Even if she sometimes compiles them, they are only messages compiled by Lao Zhang.
…
In Xu Zengen's office at the Central Unification Headquarters in Chongqing, he sat there, took out a cigar from the table, then took out a pair of scissors, cut off the butt of the cigarette, took out a match and lit a cigar for himself.
He smoked one beautifully, and then blew out a smoke ring happily.
These cigars were given by Zhang Tianhao as a tribute to him, and he also brought a lot of red wine.
A full shipload of luxury goods was shipped by Zhang Tianhao, and it was shipped this time.
Although he paid a lot of money, the profit was enough for him to make a lot of money.
At this time, he looked at the cigars in front of him, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them. Especially Zhang Tianhao, who brought him a shipload of cigars, red wine and other things this time, which at least made him a lot of money.
It was more than his thirty years' salary combined. He never thought that Zhang Tianhao would hook up with the Japanese when he arrived in Shanghai, and use Japanese merchant ships to transport a large number of luxury goods.
You must know how rare luxury goods are in Chongqing now. Only he knows that after Guangzhou and Shanghai were occupied by the Japanese, luxury goods in Chongqing became less expensive and prices continued to rise.
It was just about making money, but he found a way to make money, that is, by cooperating with Shanghai, he could earn more wealth than he could spend in his lifetime.
In addition, he also saw clearly Zhang Tianhao's ability. He had to admire Zhang Tianhao for being able to establish a firm foothold in Shanghai in such a long time.
Especially after establishing cooperation with Japanese businessmen, I was shocked when I thought about it. Even with his ability, it was impossible for the Japanese to cooperate with him easily.
"It seems that we have to give this guy more benefits in the future, otherwise it will be quite difficult to cooperate there. We will ship one ship this time, and if we ship again in the future, we can even ship more."
Thinking about it, he felt beautiful in his heart.
"Little Ma, come here, this is a cigar sent by Section Chief Zhang. I heard it tastes pretty good. Let's smoke it together!"
Seeing Ma Ming come in with a document, he pointed directly at the cigar on the table and said with a smile.
"Oh, it was sent by Section Chief Zhang. It seems that Section Chief Zhang is doing well in Shanghai?"
When Ma Ming heard that Zhang Tianhao gave Xu Zengen a cigar, he was stunned for a moment, but he immediately understood what was going on.
"By the way, this is the message just sent by Section Chief Zhang. Due to the large number of Japanese infiltrations into our internal personnel, the entire Central Unification Committee in Shanghai has basically been completely paralyzed. Among the seven names you sent over,
Among them, four have been found to have affairs with spies."
"As for the other three, they are still under investigation. In this regard, Section Chief Zhang suggested that the original forces of the Central Unification Committee in Shanghai be remobilized. They should go where they should, and then transfer a few people from other places to support him."
"Well, this guy is still capable, and he also has a lot of people on his hands. However, when it comes to expertise, our people are professionals. I think we can send a few capable people to Shanghai to assist him. After all, he
It is difficult for a person who is unfamiliar with the place to do anything."
When Xu Zeng'en heard this, he didn't know that Zhang Tianhao was asking for someone from him.
The original list of seven people was given, but it turned out that more than half of them were involved with spies. Even Xu Zengsi's face became a little unnatural.
When have the people in his central government been so unstable?
"Yes, it's just Director. Please send those people over. After all, there is a shortage of people everywhere!"
"The ones from Jiangcheng, Tianjin, and Nanjing will be transferred. If Section Chief Zhang finds out that there are no problems for the time being, transfer them there. After all, they are related to the original Shanghai Zhongtong people. Will they be transferred there?"
They discovered it. This is not good, and it is very dangerous."
"yes!"
When he heard it, he didn't understand it, so he decided to do it.
Ma Ming also took a cigar, lit it for himself, and the two started puffing away.
Even his expression became much more relaxed. What he saw now was Zhang Tianhao's money path, not his future. Cooperating with Zhang Tianhao and protecting Zhang Tianhao meant protecting his money.
Now he hopes that Zhang Tianhao can earn him a lot of money, and he may not be able to find another company other than Zhang Tianhao who can use Japanese merchant ships for transportation.
Once again, he smoked a cigarette beautifully, and then thought about the many small tricks he had done for smuggling. Only then did he realize that small tricks were just small tricks. No matter how much he did, they were not as fast as a big fish.
