After finishing the annotation, I listened to and read other information that Zhu Sanbao and the two found out, which was basically basic information. I then commented on the performance of the two of them along the way. Lin Mo was still very satisfied with this, but there were some things he should have done.
Perfection, improvement.
After it was over, Lin Mo asked Zhu Sanbao to gather up the important things in the house with him and put them all into a slightly larger bag before he began to arrange Zhu Sanbao's next tasks.
"You go ahead with your bag later, and I will keep an eye on the back and around your butt. If there is no problem, you can find a place by yourself and put these things away. Remember to hide the things."
When Zhu Sanbao heard this, his heart suddenly rose, and he asked carefully: "Captain Lin, are we being targeted? Or are we going to change places?"
"...Don't worry..." Lin Mo waved his hand and replied: "None of them, it's just that the subsequent exploration mission will become more and more dangerous. These important things need to be relocated to avoid being implicated and not being dealt with here."
After explaining, Lin Mo took out an envelope and handed it to Zhu Sanbao before continuing to make arrangements: "After you and Yousheng meet up normally, if there is no abnormality found, hand the envelope to the Du Mansion on Huagen Road.
The concierge told me that he would be here at nine o'clock in the evening. He only said the time and didn't need to mention anything else.
If you find any abnormal or suspicious people there, ask Yousheng to look out for you on the periphery and in the distance. You can find a way to closely observe the building structure and layout inside and outside the Du Mansion, as well as the surrounding terrain, suspicious locations, and the location of the people.
Find out all these.
As for the envelope and the message, just find someone on the side of the road to deliver it to you after you finish. In addition, if there is no abnormality, arrange the inspection work after delivering the letter and message, and keep an eye on the Du Mansion to see if anyone with suspicious behavior has left.
Keep an eye on him for about an hour. You don’t have to worry about whether he is there or not. Even if you find someone acting suspiciously, you don’t have to follow him or confirm his identity. You can just tell me when the time comes.
If you can't meet up with Yousheng normally, you don't need to worry about the above tasks. First confirm the situation of Yousheng and Jinwei. If the situation is very difficult and dangerous, you can make this call without saying much. Just ask me. I'll do it.
We will contact you as soon as possible..."
Lin Mo said and handed Zhu Sanbao a number he had just written down. This is the number used by the Lin family for secret communication. After calling it, the other party will transfer him to where Lin Mo is. Of course, this requires Lin Mo.
Let’s communicate and make arrangements after the silence is over.
"...By the way, if the operation goes smoothly, the rendezvous goes smoothly, the investigation goes smoothly, the letter is delivered smoothly, and it is confirmed that there is no tail behind me, then there should be a lot of time left. You two can go and report the newspaper and the editor-in-chief of the group.
Let’s figure out the situation.”
"Is he the one who flatters the Japanese? Is he also suspicious?" Zhu Sanbao felt that the other person didn't seem to be able to establish a connection with the Japanese. In other words, there was no need to do so if he could establish a connection with the Japanese.
"...useful..." Lin Mo did not give a detailed explanation. Others might have more time, but he was pressed for time, so after checking the items, the two of them left the hotel as planned.
It was okay, everything went well, and no tail or anything was found. The two walked back and forth for about ten minutes. After confirming the password, they completely separated and acted separately.
Lin Mo changed to trams several times and rickshaws twice before arriving at a tree-lined residential area. Entering here, he felt that the wind had cooled down and the scorching sky seemed to have cooled down.
This is not an illusion. This is the cross-border road construction area of the public concession, but it is already in the middle and outer areas. It is not like SH urban area, where there are reinforced concrete buildings and roads everywhere. No matter how bad they are, they are only stone slabs, blue bricks, gravel roads, and bricks.
There are tiled buildings, etc., not many green plants, and the heat island effect is obvious.
Here, there are densely covered waterways and ponds, green trees and flowers, and scattered roads and buildings. Lin Mo finally knew why Lin Zhenping reminded him to place the meeting location here.
Shanghai was considered an important part of the Lin family's business in the past. Naturally, they purchased a lot of real estate. For example, there are several properties here that belong to the Lin family. Even the real estate here used to belong to the Lin family. It was where the Lin family bought land to build warehouses.
This is one of the places where you can make a lot of money by relying on rising land prices.
Building a road across the border for the sake of building a road? Because the traffic here is not good! If the traffic is not good, it must not be developed. How much was the land price then? Like here, when the Lin family bought it, there were just a lot of smelly ditches, plus
Various reeds, overgrown wasteland, muddy land, etc. I just saw that there was a good waterway here, so I spent some money to buy it, tidied it up and built a warehouse.
Warehouses like this, which are built in deserted and remote locations, mostly store bulk goods that are large in size and occupy a large area, but are not too valuable, or the value per unit volume is not high, such as unprocessed goods.
If cotton, linen, ropes, etc. exist in such a place, arrange some manpower to keep an eye on them. If thieves come in and steal them, they won't lose a few coins. As for looting, stealing a few cars and boats may not be enough.
It takes a lot of effort, and it’s not easy to do it.
That's why this kind of goods are stored here, and the Lin family can't spend too much money on it, so from buying the land to filling it, leveling it and sorting it out, if the cost per acre exceeds 100, it's considered to be high.
The result was not as expected. The concessions later took advantage of the chaos in the country and built roads across the border not far away. The land prices here took off immediately. You must know that it is used to store bulky goods. In order to reduce construction costs, they built low-rise soil prototypes.
It has a tile-roofed house, so the total land purchased before and after is nearly two to three hundred acres.
So far, the land price here has exceeded 10,000 yuan per acre. However, the Lin family has already sold it a few years ago. The price was around 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, but it has definitely increased by tens or hundreds of times, because the Lin family occupies a large area.
Shanghai is becoming increasingly prosperous and has gradually extended to this place. If it does not sell, the Lin family will not be able to sustain it.
Of course, that was only part of the reason. At that time, the Lin family also believed that the price had risen to a high level and it was time to sell. Moreover, the Lin family did not sell it directly, but found someone to plan this area into a high-end residential area. However, the Lin family did not build it themselves.
But when you buy it, it must be built according to a rough plan, and the selling points of high-end residences drive up the price a lot.
The Lin family made a profit, and the people around them were also happy, because this raised the price of surrounding land. The buyers were also happy, because the buyers could not or were unwilling to buy so much land at one time. After the Lin family's plan, they shared the purchase
Once it is completed, it can still be sold at a higher price under these names, and everyone is happy.
The area where Lin Mo is located was planned as a garden house. The Lin family saved some and built a few inconspicuous houses. Others sold the land to rich and powerful people to build their own houses. Most of them were half-sold.
Half a gift gave the Lin family the opportunity to get in touch with many people.
Other plots of land were planned to be shikumen-style buildings, garden bungalows, high-end apartments, etc., and were basically taken away by real estate companies and banks for construction.
You read that right, it was a bank. There were no home purchase loans at this time, but people directly used money to hoard acres of land and build real estate. In the 1930s, land prices in Shanghai skyrocketed. Many banks regarded real estate as a pillar industry for profit, such as Xinhua Apartments and Simingli.
, Shangfang Garden, Laidefang, Huaihaifang, etc. are all residential buildings built by banks, and they are only on one road.
According to a 1934 Shanghai Real Estate Association report, the total value of Shanghai's real estate was estimated at 3 billion silver dollars, becoming an important part of Shanghai's economic and financial market. The cost of real estate investment and construction reached more than 70 million yuan around the 1930s, and has increased in recent years.
It has been growing rapidly. In the public concession alone, more than 6,000 houses are built every year, and the real estate transaction volume in the past few years has been in the hundreds of millions. This is nothing but a trivial matter for the Lin family.
For example, the acres of land purchased by the Lin family in the concession or closer to the concession in the past for the construction of warehouses, warehouses, businesses, etc. are only on a smaller scale, usually only a few acres, a dozen acres, and no more than dozens of acres.
But I can’t stand the price of the unit!
The unit price is often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands per acre. Most of the Lin family's property is accumulated by the increase in the price of these land, just like the rumor that KFC makes money not by selling goods but by the appreciation of land value.
However, the biggest increase has been in the past few years. The Lin family still took action a little early. Some banks can increase the value of land by more than ten times just by hoarding land for a few years. It is simply more risky than them to sneak into the silver market and take all kinds of risks.
Earnings are ruthless, and methods like the Lin family's to raise prices are everywhere. Otherwise, if the Lin family is a businessman, how can they just do fancy work in an unfamiliar industry? It's not like others have shown them.
This makes it understandable why Su Hongjie keeps complaining about poverty, and also sets his sights on the banks run by the wave of people from THT, hoping to seize food from the tiger's mouth, right? Even if the office approves a million funds for him, it is estimated that in Shanghai
I can't come up with anything big.
But is that possible? Once the funds are in the public account, hands from all parties are stretched out. Even if Lin Mo and others are the heroes who handed over the funds, they want to approve such a large amount of funds unless there are sufficient reasons to convince the authorities.
Li, or Boss Dai, otherwise don’t even think about it.
He has no credit for this, and the two of them are engaged in intelligence underground. They promise to bring huge profits and benefits in the future. They are not doing their job and have little credibility. As for investing in intelligence, others are doing it too!
I have never seen such an amount of funds invested in any group-level unit.
Therefore, he can only do it by himself and find a way. Of course, if he can do it by then, his status and credit will not be comparable to others. It can only be said that good and bad are not opposites, it just depends on whether you can do it.
.
While thinking about it, Lin Mo followed Lin Wenqing, who was waiting for him at the door, into a house of the Lin family. He had just finished arranging some contact matters with him, but as soon as he entered the living room, pairs of eyes looked over at him, which scared him.
One jump.
It was not what he thought. There were only Lin Zhenping and his father in the house. In addition to the two of them, there were also business partners who he should call Uncle Lu and Uncle Deng who were very close to the Lin family, and a person next to Uncle Lu.
Next to the young man and Uncle Deng was a middle-aged man who was capable, somewhat elegant and knowledgeable.
"Uncle Lu and Uncle Deng, even if they know each other, they won't even say hello..."
Hearing this, Lin Mo came to his senses and hurriedly said hello, "I'm sorry, Uncle Lu and Uncle Deng, I was delayed by something at the moment and kept you waiting for a long time."
