After eating and drinking, and enjoying the cool breeze on the top of the boat, Lin Mo relaxed for a while. Of course, he was not idle, but took the opportunity to learn about the situation that various people had discovered in Shanghai.
On Xu Zhiyu's side, those channels have been checked and confirmed, and there are no problems, and there are no signs of defecting to the enemy. However, we should pay attention to the fact that the other party's channels may be under surveillance, and there may be individuals or small groups within who have problems.
In addition, relevant matters were negotiated and communicated properly. After the other party confirmed that it was correct, no one refused. Some people were even quite excited and wanted to participate in the action more deeply.
However, it was definitely impossible for Xu Zhiyu to agree to this matter. He was just relaying it euphemistically, and Lin Mo was naturally unlikely to agree. If nothing else, at least the two parties did not have the basis for mutual trust.
And to be honest, the difficulty of this task is not something that anyone can get involved in. He really wants to find someone to help him. Can't he ask Mr. Du for help? At least the person is endorsed by the boss, and
The power is far beyond what they can match.
Of course, Lin Mo would definitely not be so merciless. At any rate, he did help you, but Lin Mo estimated that when yesterday's incident spreads, these people will not mention it again.
"Is there any special situation or discovery here?" Lin Mo asked after chatting about the mission situation.
"To say how special it is, there really isn't anything special, but on the outskirts of the city, we found a sign during our investigation..."
According to Xu Zhiyu, the peripheral forces in the urban area have very clear attitudes towards surrendering to the Japanese. They either completely turn to the Japanese, or they clearly refuse or even stand on the opposite side. There is rarely any wavering or ambiguity.
Clear.
This is different from the forces in urban areas, especially in concessions and adjacent concessions. There are a lot of vacillating, speculative, and ambiguous people here.
Lin Mo speculated that firstly, the influence and control of the Japanese may have been greatly weakened after they left this range.
Secondly, the Japanese may not be allowed here, as they are still so wavering. In the concession, they may have to worry about Europe, America and the big gang forces, but outside, if you dare to play like this, you will probably be beaten to death.
Moreover, the outer reaches of the urban area and even the outer reaches are dependent on Japanese forces. Lin Mo suspects that there is something fishy inside. Either it is supported by the Japanese, or it has suffered severe infiltration and control, or it has been mixed with the Japanese early.
He has already fallen into some sinister deeds...
Wang Mingkun's work here was also done beautifully, such as the communication booklet. Except for the territory actually controlled by the Japanese, almost all other areas were arranged according to Lin Mo's arrangement, recording a large number of addresses and numbers.
However, according to Wang Mingkun, they collect directory books published by telephone companies, or telephone directories printed by some newspaper companies, printing companies, and commercial advertisements, etc., and then conduct on-site visits and collect information based on regional streets.
Waiting for re-editing into a new volume.
This method is much more flexible. You can directly come to the door in the name of a newspaper or printing company, etc. It is reasonable and reasonable, and you are not suspected at all. You even get a lot of flattery, and you take the opportunity to find out a lot of things.
In terms of transportation, Wang Mingkun personally led the team, but he believed that methods such as stealing and renting had been used in previous operations, and the Japanese may have taken more precautions in this regard.
Therefore, in addition to spying on these aspects as a backup, he also actively sought new ways to obtain transportation, and he found it.
Buying a car is not considered buying a car. Wang Mingkun discovered that there are many damaged vehicles on the SH market. The prices can be said to be extremely low. They can buy them for tens or even ten yuan. They are not willing to afford to buy a car normally.
It's expensive, but the price is not a problem at all.
He has also seen that most cars can actually be used with a little repair. As for the other party who has not repaired the car, it is troublesome and expensive to find someone to repair the car, and the other is that the person who repaired the car is too bad.
Some car repairmen don't know how to pretend to know, and some car repairmen rely on their skills to keep cheating you out of money. According to rumors, some people were even cheated out of money that could buy a new car, and some cars were even resold for unknown amounts.
times, how many generations of car owners have been cheated.
As for the origins of those cars, some were produced for military purposes during World War I. They were abandoned after the war, repaired and sold to China at low prices. The number of cars in major domestic cities, including Shanghai, was also at that time.
Rapidly increasing.
First, those cars are antiques that are more than ten or twenty years old. Various problems naturally occur frequently. Moreover, because of their old models, many of them have been sold at low prices or abandoned by their owners. A person who is greedy for cheap will definitely not be able to spend a lot of money to maintain them properly.
The situation is even worse when one is thrown away and collects dust, so there are more and more damaged vehicles like this on the market.
Another source is that with the skyrocketing silver price, domestic purchasing power has indeed soared. However, due to the impact of the Great Recession in the past few years abroad, many people cannot afford vehicle expenses, and a large number of vehicles have been abandoned.
As a result, this business of selling second-hand cars has popped up again recently. It is said that several shipments of second-hand cars have been shipped in. However, I don’t know whether the other party is afraid of not being able to make the trip or for some reason, and they have not properly repaired them. There are also many problems in them.
Vehicles are frequently sold at low prices.
Although these low-priced problem cars are old and mediocre in performance, and are mostly T-type cars, these models are actually the most common in Shanghai, and they are very suitable for their needs.
As for the car's faults and problems, they almost repaired all the cars in the training ground by replacing parts. At least half of the people in the four teams can repair it, and some of them are even close to becoming experts. Some of them have to replace parts.
There are tools that can help you rub it out with your hands.
Wang Mingkun's idea is to open a car repair place, buy those problem cars at a low price, repair them and use them in action, then change their appearance afterwards, reuse them or sell them directly at a low price.
It will be very convenient to dispose of it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And there is another point, that is, we even have an idea of the place to open the business. The most important thing is that we don’t have to spend much money, the place is not small, and it is still in the concession.
It turned out that Wang Mingkun had a corresponding idea when he discovered and investigated the problem cars, so he prepared the relevant identity information in advance.
The identity of their design is that they are technicians from a factory in Anqing, repairing machine maintenance equipment. Due to the recent impact of foreign goods, the factory has been shut down. Other local factories have also encountered such problems and rarely started operations.
Business.
Since there were many children in the family, they had no choice but to go to Shanghai to find a new job to tide over the difficulties. As a result, Shanghai factories often had similar problems, and they searched for many days without finding anything. Seeing that there were many broken cars in the SH market, they wanted to make a living by repairing cars.
.
During the investigation, every time I met a curious car owner, I would resort to this excuse. As a result, I met a car owner who had a lot of troubles and asked several people to help him repair his car.
Several people patiently told the origin of their identities and helped repair the car. The process was quite unfamiliar, but they accurately found the problem with the vehicle and pointed out many hidden dangers on the vehicle and repaired them.
Anyway, during the process, he showed that he was familiar with the machinery, but was a little unfamiliar with the vehicle. The other party was hesitant and tried the car. After trying it, he was overjoyed and called a few more people.
After one of them checked the condition of the car and tried the car, he expressed high praise for the skills of several people. The person in charge asked several people who can repair the car?
Wang Mingkun felt that there might be some kind of opportunity, so he said that a few people could practice it if they got familiar with it, and that they could do this. He would call some more people, and then those people revealed their identity and purpose.
The car owner, who had a lot of things to do, was the owner of an agency that sold houses, and the person in charge was the director of real estate investment at a bank.
Several people said that they could provide them with a place to open a large car repair shop, and would also purchase a batch of car repair equipment and parts for them free of charge as quickly as possible.
The rent is only a few yuan per month. This discount can be given for three years. They must also ensure that it is open for more than three years, and during this period, they must operate with integrity and must not deceive customers.
"They must have invested in some real estate or something, and want you to open a store as a gimmick to sell the house, increase the price of the house, or sell the house quickly, right?"
Based on the relevant information learned during the past two days of investigation, Lin Mo listened for a while and knew what the other person wanted to do when he raised his butt.
"...Indeed..." Wang Mingkun also nodded and explained: "Later, we showed a little excitement, so we were pulled over to see it in person. There were also many dance halls, theaters, theaters, and movie theaters newly opened or being planned nearby.
As well as high-end restaurants and large car rental agencies, etc..."
It's just that those are on the main street, and their car repair shop is in a relatively remote side street, but there are also planned wide lanes connecting those residential areas.
And the place is indeed not small. It seems that it used to be a warehouse, or two rooms. Later, it should have been converted into a large workshop for making noodles and baking noodles. However, it has been moved out and everything that needs to be dismantled and organized has been done.
However, it is obvious that the other party may have had this idea for a long time.
Wang Mingkun and others had gone to explore this area before. In fact, they went to the big car rental agency. There are many cars in there for individuals to rent, and they can also provide drivers to help drive and pick them up. It is estimated that these people also run the business.
Or support them, which is why they later met the owner of the agency selling the house.
This place is located in a relatively remote area of the concession, so development has only begun in the past few years. The surrounding large area and land have been purchased by many banks and large real estate developers early on.
These people intend to build it into a higher-end residential area, and they are probably colluding. The plans are for high-end Shikumen residences, high-end apartment residences, garden houses, etc. Currently, the surrounding areas are all completed for sale and under construction.
To be built, demolished, to be demolished, etc.
Maybe it's still in the early stages of development, or the place is really located a little bit out of the way, so the land and house prices are barely affordable, so these people have started to use gimmicks for publicity, and invest in opening or supporting various supporting facilities to raise prices.
These properties are aimed at buyers with money and status. There is definitely no shortage of people with cars. The place to repair cars is naturally in urgent need. There must be many car repair skills in Shanghai, but I guess it is a scam.
It was really profitable, so I gave Wang Mingkun a chance to a few people.
This opportunity is indeed rare! Nowadays, land in Shanghai is extremely valuable, let alone low prices. Even if you have money, you may not be able to find a place, so Lin Mo agreed.
