Kawasaki Hiro was very happy to learn that Lu Chengzhou purchased Japanese goods from Yangcun and sold them in the British Concession.
But at the same time, Kawasaki Hiroshi was also a little worried.
Happily, Lu Chengzhou tried his best to complete the tasks assigned to him.
What is worrying is that Lu Chengzhou's impression in the outside world is that he is "patriotic" and even "anti-Japanese".
Lu Chengzhou arrested Japanese ronin in the British Concession, which was widely reported by newspapers.
Now, Lu Chengzhou is smuggling Japanese goods for profit. The patriotic image he has worked so hard to build will soon collapse.
Appearing to be patriotic but actually serving the Japanese secret service is a contradiction in itself.
If you don't handle it well, you will be like Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror and not being human inside and out.
"I can introduce you to someone who can not only provide you with a stable supply of goods, but also provide you with the best price." Kawasaki Hiroshi rolled his eyes, took the idea into consideration, and said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou likes money, which is a good thing for Kawasaki Hiro.
He would only be worried if Lu Chengzhou was upright and selfless without any shortcomings.
However, making this kind of money must be based on tasks.
The reason why Lu Chengzhou smuggled Japanese goods was to tie Chen Deming and Li Wanliang together to form a group of interests.
What Kawasaki Hiroshi has to do is to provide them with a good environment.
If Lu Chengzhou goes to Yangcun, nothing will happen.
But if Lu Chengzhou was in Yangcun, talking to Japanese businessmen, or even being discovered that he had bought Japanese smuggled goods in Yangcun, Lu Chengzhou's identity would be exposed.
Even if Lu Chengzhou's identity in the military system would not be exposed, if his patriotic image was gone, it would be impossible for him to have contact with progressive students in the future.
"Thank you, Teacher Kawasaki." Lu Chengzhou said gratefully.
The smuggled goods in Yangcun are all controlled by Japanese ronin.
Although Lu Chengzhou was proficient in Japanese, the other party did not give him special treatment after knowing that he was Chinese.
Of course, Kawasaki Hiroshi may not necessarily have good intentions. The person he introduced may be an agent serving the Japanese secret service.
"One thing to note is that your purpose is to get close to Chen Deming and Li Wanliang, not to make money by smuggling goods." Kawasaki Hiro warned.
"I will keep my mission in mind at all times." Lu Chengzhou said solemnly.
Kawasaki Hong nodded with satisfaction. Lu Chengzhou's attitude was still in place.
"How do you report this matter to the military commander?" Kawasaki Hiroshi asked again.
After all, Lu Chengzhou was the direct correspondent of Haigu Station of the Military Command and received a salary every month.
"I will report, this is to collect Japanese smuggling information." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
Even if the military commander knew about it, Liu Youjun and the headquarters would take care of it for him.
I always thought that Lu Chengzhou's real mission was to lurk in the Japanese secret service.
Previously, Lu Chengzhou mainly provided Nozaki with information about the British Concession. As the situation between China and Japan became increasingly severe, Kawasaki Hiroshi needed him to provide more information.
This was exactly what Lu Chengzhou wanted, and Lu Chengzhou also hoped to obtain more information about Japan.
The person Kawasaki Hiro introduced to Lu Chengzhou was named Takeyama Eiichi, and he was indeed secretly serving the Japanese secret service.
Eiichi Takeyama is ostensibly a Japanese ronin and one of the big smugglers of Japanese goods in Haigu.
In fact, he has been secretly providing intelligence to the Japanese secret service.
These smugglers can provide a lot of economic intelligence to the Japanese secret service.
It would be impossible to smuggle Japanese goods into Haigu without the covert support of Japanese intelligence agencies.
"I will invite Eiichi Takeyama to the Japanese Concession. It will be more convenient for you to talk there." Kawasaki Hiro thought for a while and said.
He hoped that Lu Chengzhou would give the outside world the impression that he was patriotic and anti-Japanese.
The main reason why he supported Lu Chengzhou in smuggling Japanese goods this time was to win over Chen Deming and Li Wanliang.
If Chen Deming and Li Wanliang can be brought over, the Yangcun Security Brigade will most likely be used by Japan in the future.
At the same time, Kawasaki Hiro also hopes that Lu Chengzhou can still maintain his original image.
After all, Lu Chengzhou was the target of Haigu Progressive Students' development. Kawasaki Hong also hoped that if Lu Chengzhou had the opportunity, he would take advantage of the opportunity to break into the Communist Party's organization.
"I will call Chen Deming and Li Wanliang when I arrive, and we will meet together. The affairs in Yangcun will be left to them in the future." Lu Chengzhou said immediately.
Kawasaki Hiro is so cautious, Lu Chengzhou cannot be careless.
Lu Chengzhou knew that he had to maintain his patriotic and anti-Japanese image.
If he was involved in smuggling Japanese goods and the outside world found out, he would definitely be labeled a "traitor."
This is detrimental to both the military command and the Japanese secret service.
But deep down in Lu Chengzhou's heart, there was a glimmer of hope that if he was regarded as a "traitor", he would not carry out the task of infiltrating the underground party organization.
In the evening, at the Yoshino Hotel in the Japanese Concession, Kawasaki Hiro, Lu Chengzhou, Takeyama Eiichi, Chen Deming and Li Wanliang met.
Eiichi Takeyama is like the average Japanese, short, strong, and shrewd in his eyes.
When talking to Hiroshi Kawasaki, he was courteous and courteous.
When talking to Lu Chengzhou, he was very polite on the surface, but there was always a hint of condescension in his eyes.
Takeyama Eiichi can actually speak Chinese, and he also knows Chen Deming and Li Wanliang.
After all, Chen Deming's troops were stationed in Yangcun, and Takeyama Eiichi sought shelter from the security brigade in order to deal with harassment from students.
"Everyone has only one purpose here, which is to make money. In the future, please ask Wushan-kun to provide the best supply of goods." Kawasaki Hiroshi raised his glass and said with a smile.
"From now on, Yangcun will have to trouble Mr. Wushan, Brother Chen and Brother Li." Lu Chengzhou also raised his glass and said sincerely.
"It's just a little effort." Chen Deming said very politely.
Eiichi Takeyama was one of the few Japanese businessmen in Yangcun. He usually kept his eyes high and did not take the people in their security brigade seriously.
And Hiroshi Kawasaki, it seems, is more important than Eiichi Takeyama.
Chen Deming was afraid of the Japanese army's combat power from the bottom of his heart. He felt that the 29th Army was like a mantis trying to fight the Japanese army.
If I can make friends with Takeyama Eiichi today, maybe I can find a way out for myself in the future.
Now that I have met Wu Sanying, no matter how small a fight is, it seems unjustifiable.
Lu Chengzhou discussed with Takeyama Eiichi to add rayon, cloth, medicine, cosmetics and other varieties.
Lu Chengzhou decided to hand over the rayon and cloth to Zhang Zeyuan.
If Zhang Zeyuan couldn't eat it, or didn't dare to eat it, he would just find another business.
Lu Chengzhou controls three streets in the British Concession. If he wants to sell these goods, there will be no problem.
Of course, the bigger the event, the more people need to be involved.
In addition to Zhang Zeyuan, Lu Chengzhou plans to arrange one or two more trading houses.
In addition, medicines and cosmetics also need to be found in separate stores.
At the same time, at the police station, Lu Chengzhou needed a partner.
