After the military police left, Kitano Xiong Er said to Wu Zhihe: "Look, isn't the matter solved? It's so simple."
Wu Zhihe glanced at Beiye Xionger, and then stepped into Ercheng Small Building.
This place used to be a trading house, but it was partially destroyed due to the war. The owner of the trading house had just repaired the place, but before it started operating, Wu Zhihe came to visit.
Naturally, the owner didn't want to sell the house he had just repaired, especially since the buyer was Japanese, so the owner politely refused. However, he didn't expect that the other party directly called the military police. The owner had no choice but to sell the place and pack up his things immediately.
Leave.
The reason why Wu Zhihe chose this place was because of the two-story building, which allowed him to quickly build the East Asia Trading Company. Moreover, it was not far from the concession and the dock, so the location was just right.
After Wu Zhihe entered the second floor, Kitano Xiong Er followed him. After looking at the situation here, he asked: "What are we going to do next?"
Wu Zhihe said calmly: "Find a few people to tidy up the place. Tomorrow we will hang up the sign of the trading house and start waving people."
Kitano Xiongji nodded, and then said: "If you want this trading house to open, it's best to recruit a few more Japanese, so that no one will suspect you."
Looking at Kitano Xiong Er strangely, Wu Zhihe said coldly: "Don't be too petty. Don't forget that your handle is still in our hands. Once that thing is exposed, the Japanese will not let you go."
.”
The reason Wu Zhihe said was naturally Kitano Xiong Er's confession. With Li Yunsheng's caution, even if he wanted to use Kitano Xiong Er, he would take strict precautions.
Hearing Wu Zhihe's words, Kitano Xiong Er said calmly: "If you don't want to, then only recruit Chinese people. But if you are suspected, don't blame me for not warning me."
After thinking about it carefully, Wu Zhihe said: "We will discuss this later. Hang up the sign first, and then decide on this matter after reporting to the district chief."
Hearing this result, Kitano Xiong Er didn't care and simply said: "Then it's up to you."
"Kitano-kun's attitude makes me a little strange. I don't know why you are trying so hard to help us establish a trading house."
As soon as Wu Zhihe finished speaking, Kitano Xiong Er's heart skipped a beat, and then he said, "What's strange about me is that I have surrendered to you, so naturally I have to use my strength, and if this place is exposed, I won't be able to do anything."
After listening to Kitano Xiong Er's explanation, Wu Zhihe said with a half-smile: "Is this really true? But Mr. Kitano was not willing to cooperate with us before. How could his attitude change so quickly now?"
Kitano Xiong Er said with a smile: "I have lived a comfortable life in Shanghai. During those days, I felt happy. Since I cannot escape the fate of being controlled by you, I can only try my best to make myself more comfortable, and
Once the East Asia Trading Bank is established, I will have value and you will not abandon me easily."
After carefully looking at Kitano Xiong Er's eyes, Wu Zhihe said meaningfully: "I hope what you said is true."
Seeing that he had successfully passed the test, Kitano Xiongji relaxed. The reason why he changed his attitude was, in addition to what was mentioned before, another main reason, which was that this person wanted to avoid the fate of being controlled.
After arriving in Tianjin again, Kitano Xiongji was thinking about how to escape, but he knew that it would not be difficult to escape. However, once the confession he wrote was exposed, he would probably be hunted by both China and Japan, and he would be hunted down by both China and Japan in the future.
I can only live in anonymity.
So after thinking for a few days, Kitano Kumaji decided to set up the East Asia Trading Bank with all his heart, and make every effort to make the trading bank bigger. In this way, when more people come into contact, he can find opportunities to gain an identity and get rid of control.
Moreover, Kitano Kumaji also thought that when the East Asia Trading Company becomes bigger, it will definitely make a lot of profits. Anyway, many things require his intervention. At that time, he can use his hands to steal part of it, thus ensuring his future life.
With this decision, Kitano Kumaji changed his attitude and began to make suggestions for the establishment of a trading house.
The next day, East Asia Trading House was established. As soon as this trading house was established, it began to recruit a large number of people, which made many people feel strange.
Not long after East Asia Trading Company was listed, Li Yunsheng received the news, then simply put on some makeup and went out alone.
An hour later, Li Yunsheng appeared on the cross street. Looking at the 20% small building in front of him, he was very satisfied. After all, the location and size here are very suitable for establishing a trading house, and it is also convenient to communicate in the shared street.
.
Seeing that there were many people applying for jobs nearby, Li Yunsheng also pretended to be applying for jobs and queued up in order not to arouse suspicion. After more than half an hour, it was Li Yunsheng's turn to go in.
The interviewer was also an agent of the Military Command Bureau. When he saw Li Yunsheng in the crowd, he was naturally a little surprised. However, since there were many people, he continued the interview calmly, but at a much happier pace.
When the interview came to Li Yunsheng, the person asked some random questions and said, "Your conditions are good. Come in and let our boss take a look."
Li Yunsheng smiled and said, "Thank you very much, and then walked into the trading house."
At this time, there were a few people cleaning the trading house, but these were ordinary people and had just been recruited.
These people were not surprised to see Li Yunsheng. One of them said, "Where is the boss having an interview?" and pointed to an office.
Li Yunsheng thanked him, then came to the door of the office and knocked gently. He waited until Shengsheng heard from inside: "Please come in," then he opened the door and walked in.
There were two people sitting in the office, it was Wu Zhihe and Kitano Xiongji.
Seeing Li Yunsheng suddenly appear, both of them were surprised.
Just when he was about to say something, Li Yunsheng waved his hand, closed the door, and then whispered: "There are a few people outside, we should be careful when we speak."
The two people nodded one after another, and then Wu Zhihe said: "District Chief, I have finally met you."
"How are you doing now? Did you encounter any trouble on the road?"
"We are doing very well and we haven't had any trouble."
Hearing that the two people were not in trouble, Li Yunsheng asked in surprise: "Then you should have arrived in Tianjin a long time ago. Why are you opening the trading house now?"
Wu Zhihe briefly reported what happened, and finally said: "If Kitano Xiong Er hadn't approached the gendarmerie, the trading house wouldn't be able to open now."
After listening to Wu Zhihe's words, Li Yunsheng was also a little strange. He felt that Kitano Xiong Er had changed a bit, so he said, "Kitano-kun does have some tricks."
"The district chief praised me."
"Then tell me why there is such a change."
Kitano Xiong Er immediately repeated what he said to Wu Zhihe, but his tone was very respectful. After all, he had suffered a lot from Li Yunsheng, and he knew that Li Yunsheng was the spy chief and could decide his life or death, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.
After listening to Kitano Xiong Er's explanation, Li Yunsheng glanced at him a few times, with an unpredictable expression on his face, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing Li Yunsheng's expression, Kitano Xiong Er felt a little nervous, worried that his purpose would be guessed, because he had experienced Li Yunsheng's methods and knew that the other party was not easy to fool, but he was relieved when he saw that the other party did not say anything.
tone.
Li Yunsheng did not guess what Kitano Xiong Er was thinking, but he guessed that this person must have his own plans. After all, no agent should be underestimated.
But Li Yunsheng knew that as long as he sent someone to keep an eye on him and prevent him from acting alone, he would not be able to do anything wrong. His expression before was also to scare him and make him more worried.
Seeing that Kitano Xiong Er finished his explanation and Li Yunsheng said nothing, Wu Zhihe asked for instructions: "District Chief, what should we do next."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "You run the trading house well, try to contact more businessmen, and then secretly inquire to see if those businessmen are engaged in smuggling. Then we can use their channels for smuggling."
"I obey, but in order to better run the trading house, Kitano-kun has a suggestion."
"What's the proposal?"
Hearing that Kitano Xiong Er had another suggestion, Li Yunsheng was a little strange and didn't know what this person's plan was.
"Kitano-kun suggested that the East Asia Trading Company should recruit some Japanese people to work there, so that they would not be easily suspected by the Japanese intelligence agencies."
After listening to Wu Zhihe's words, Li Yunsheng glanced at Kitano Xiong Er again, and then said: "Inviting some Japanese to come in can indeed be a cover-up, so we will do it according to Kitano-kun's suggestion, but for those Japanese,
You have to be careful and don't let them know too much."
"My subordinates will be careful."
At this time Kitano Xiong Er said: "Sir, your original intention of letting us establish a trading house was to smuggle some supplies to the Kuomintang-controlled area, so why bother looking for others, we can do it ourselves."
Li Yunsheng said sarcastically: "Anyone who can engage in smuggling business is not a figure behind the scenes in the military. If you break in without understanding the situation, you will probably die miserably."
Listening to Li Yunsheng's sarcastic words, Kitano Xiong Er did not take it seriously, but said calmly: "Sir, I have served in the Japanese intelligence agency and know what these smugglers are like. Some of them may not have any background, but they are just
We have adopted a profit-sharing approach and used shares to buy off some garrison officers so that their smuggling operations can go unimpeded, so we can do the same and there should be no problems."
Li Yunsheng asked strangely: "The garrison troops are constantly mobilized. If the troops change defenses just after the route is clear, wouldn't it be in vain?"
Kitano Xiong Er said calmly: "That's why businessmen use the method of dry shares, which is to give generous gifts to whomever they use. After the defense is changed, the dry shares will naturally be transferred to others and occupy the area.
The garrisons are all second-line garrison troops and will not be mobilized frequently."
