Chapter 924: Cooperation with Shigeto Kenfumi
Chapter 924: Cooperation with Shigeto Kenfumi
The next day, in a cafe next to the Jianghan Customs Clock Tower.
This place is run by Japanese. It is expensive and only rich and powerful people come and go.
Zhu Wanyao was dressed in modern clothes, wearing lace gloves and carrying a small bag. She was sitting in a window seat on the second floor.
After a while, a young man in a suit and tie hurried over.
"Miss Zhu, I'm so sorry. I was busy at the company today and arrived late."
Zhu Wanyao smiled gently, "If I'm waiting for someone I want to wait for, I won't get impatient even if it takes a whole day."
The young man was flustered by her smile and quickly sat down and ordered coffee.
"Chen Mo, you've been busy all day, haven't you changed your shirt? Look at your collar, it's dirty. I'll take you to buy a new one later. Leave this one to me. I'll wash it, iron it, and send it back to you."
Chen Mo was embarrassed and moved.
I cursed myself for not changing my clothes before going out on a date!
"Ahaha, I've been really busy lately, but how dare I trouble you? I can wash it myself. Speaking of shopping, I got my salary recently, so I can buy you some fashion."
"I have my own money, why would I spend yours? You should save your money. Didn't you say you wanted to buy a house in the concession, and then..."
When she said this, Zhu Wanyao blushed, looking completely different from the bold and fiery person she was at the banquet last night.
Chen Mo was fascinated by what he saw. He worked in a Japanese trading company, was fluent in Japanese and English, and had a good salary.
Of course, he also has another identity, he is the leader of the third group sent by the Military Control Commission to Jiangcheng.
It is called the third group, but in fact it is completely randomly selected and is not sorted according to number or order of establishment.
When a young male spy is hiding in other places, what he fears most is encountering love.
Therefore, the Military Control Commission even issued an order that no romance or marriage was allowed before victory.
But this is just empty words. For someone like Chen Mo, who can't help but fall in love, who can control him?
Moreover, as a team leader, he has funds and a comfortable life. Even if he doesn't look for women, women may come to him.
The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Wanyao suddenly felt a little depressed.
Chen Mo quickly asked, "Wan Yao, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Zhu Wanyao forced a smile and shook her head, "Chen Mo, you're fine. This is my own business."
Chen Mo got angry and kept asking questions, forcing Zhu Wanyao to tell him why she was sad.
"Chen Mo, I didn't want to tell you. You know, my father is a businessman. Although he became a traitor, he never wanted to be a slave of a conquered country. He's facing big problems in his business now, and he's always frowning. I work part-time as a translator at the headquarters, so I can get in touch with some things. I heard that some people would pay for some information, so I thought, can I sell some information and make some money to help my father overcome the difficulties."
Chen Mo said seriously, "Wan Yao, don't say such things in the future. You will be beheaded. How much money does your uncle need? Maybe I can think of a way."
Zhu Wanyao lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I won't take your money."
The date ended just like that, and Chen Mo was in a dilemma.
................
At the Military Police Headquarters, Hanatani was busy in a large office.
People sent from the base camp also arrived and brought a lot of equipment.
They asked Shigeto Kenfumi for a house to use as their telecommunications operations headquarters.
In comparison, Lin Ze had it much easier. He didn't have any specific tasks, so he just slacked off at the gendarmerie headquarters.
At noon, Shigeto Kenfumi came to invite him to dinner again, but Lin Ze deliberately refused, saying, "Shigeto-kun, the supplies from North China will arrive soon. I'd like to ask for your cooperation. First, prepare a dedicated warehouse. Second, prepare a few vehicles for us. After the supplies are distributed to the various troops, we will go down to inspect them to ensure that they have been properly delivered."
When Shigeto heard this, he thought to himself, "Why are you serious?"
If you do this, how can our brothers make money?
They now have a fixed pattern for reselling supplies. Everyone from top to bottom is involved, and they have drawn a line: one out of every five pieces of clothing and food will be taken, and weapons and ammunition cannot be moved unless there is a major battle.
What does this mean? They will resell 20% of the food, drink, clothing and daily necessities on the black market. Everyone from senior officers to junior officers will get a share of this money, the only difference is the amount. Of course, privates will not get any.
In normal times, guns and bullets cannot be sold, but in the event of a battle, some of them can be "lost" after the battle.
This kind of business has been going on for more than two years, and everyone has become rich. Now that you, Lin Ze, have come to Jiangcheng, we will treat you to good food and drink. Do you want to block the brothers' path to wealth?
Shigeto Kenbun smiled brightly and complimented, "Colonel Lin is truly diligent in his work. Shigeto truly admires you. However, no matter how busy you are, you still have to eat. The supplies haven't arrived yet. Don't worry, Colonel Lin, the dedicated warehouse is fine. We can go down and inspect it as well. How about we eat and talk at the same time?"
Lin Ze agreed "reluctantly".
We had lunch in a small dining hall at the headquarters. The room was quite private and even had a camouflaged door. It was quite luxurious inside.
The table was set for lunch, with precious river fish, sea fish, sea cucumbers, shark fins, and even a plate of braised bear paws at the end.
"Shigeto-kun, this is too expensive. How about asking Hanatani-kun to join us?"
"Hey, Hanaya-kun has his own arrangements. Colonel Lin and I hit it off right away. Come on, we don't have anything important to do this afternoon, let's have a couple of drinks!"
After that, Shigeto opened a bottle of brandy.
After three or two glasses of wine, Lin Ze felt drunk.
Shigeto changed the subject, "Lin Jun, how is the meal?"
"The food and wine are delicious, and the experience is truly luxurious. Thank you for your hospitality."
"No, no, someone like Lin Jun should take better care of himself. It's not too much to eat meals like this every day."
Lin Ze laughed and said, "Shigeto-kun, you're joking. How much salary do I get? Life in Pingjin is not easy. Houses are expensive, food is expensive..."
When Shigeto heard this, he thought, "You understand everything, you're just waiting for me to speak!"
Hey, I thought you were a stickler!
This was even better, saving Shigeto from having to waste time. He simply whispered, "I do have something I'd like to discuss with you, Mr. Lin, but I'm afraid you might think I'm being too polite."
"Shigeto-kun, you already said it, we hit it off right away, so what can't we talk about?"
"In that case, let me tell you, I have a business deal here. If Mr. Lin can cooperate..."
Then the two of them went back and forth and agreed on a share. Thirty percent of the aid materials would be resold, and Lin Ze would take another third of it.
Finally, Lin Ze made a request that they could cooperate, but Shigeto had to cooperate with Lin Ze and do a good job of saving face.
Shigeto waved his hand. "As I said earlier, a dedicated warehouse is ready for you. Wherever you want to inspect, I'll prepare the supplies in advance. You can take photos or find witnesses, no problem. Once the war breaks out, I'll be the intelligence commander and you'll be the deputy commander. You can go wherever you want, no one will stop you."
Lin Ze raised his glass in greeting.
This is fucking great, little Japs, if I don’t make you cry for your parents this time, I’m not even surnamed Lin!
