Lin Jiangbei followed upstairs while looking at the layout of the interior of the apartment building.

In Shanghai at that time, there were two types of apartments, one was a building type and the other was a street style.

The building-style apartment has luxurious facilities and a huge area, with bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, storage rooms, and even a dining room, a study, and a servant's room at the highest level. Compared with residential buildings at that time, the building-style apartments not only had elevators, heating and other facilities, but also equipped tenants with advanced electrical appliances such as electric stoves and refrigerators. Of course, the rent is also frighteningly high, far from being affordable for the average tenant.

Compared with the building-style apartment, the street-style apartment is much more accessible to the people.

Street apartments are generally built in the new style lanes, somewhat similar to the dormitories of single workers in later generations. The size of the room is not large, almost there is a separate bedroom, and a partition is set up in the middle to divide a bedroom and a living room. As for the setting in the room, it is also very simple, but it is just a simple configuration such as tables, chairs and beds. As for the rent, it is naturally much cheaper, often only one-tenth or even one-tenth of the building-style apartment.

According to Liu Xuan's investigation, the property rights of this apartment building belong to a Japanese expatriate, and only Japanese expatriates are accepted to rent, according to the five-story building, each floor has more than a dozen rooms, and the whole building looks like about seventy or eighty Japanese residents.

Soon, Araki Oi led Lin Jiang north to the fourth floor and came to the door of the room for 413.

I don't know if it's because it's a little late at ten o'clock, or because of the confrontation between the American and Japanese marines on both sides of the Suzhou Creek, the apartment building is very quiet, and Lin Jiangbei didn't meet the Japanese tenants of the apartment building from following Araki Oi upstairs to the door of room 413.

"Xu Sang, this is our residence, please come in!" Araki Oi took out the key to open the door, and bowed his waist and made a gesture at Lin Jiangbei to invite in.

"Director Araki, I heard that I have to take off my shoes when I enter your Japanese house, I may be a little unaccustomed to it!" Lin Jiangbei raised his foot and was about to enter, when he suddenly took his foot back.

"Haha, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we're old friends, don't pay so much attention, Xu Sang, you just have to put on your shoes and go in!" Araki Oi felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still made a look of indifference. In order to complete the task of recruiting laborers, he also fought hard!

"Yes, yes, our old friends, don't pay so much attention!" Lin Jiangbei smiled and put on leather shoes and stepped on the mirror-like floor in the room.

Araki Oi felt that "Xu Sang" felt as if he was stepping directly on his heart, and the corners of his eyes twitched, and then he followed Lin Jiangbei into the house.

Araki Oi's apartment is one of the more upscale apartments in the town, and there is a living room of about 10 square meters outside the bedroom that can be used for meeting guests.

The living room is divided into two, and in addition to a sofa closet in the middle of the house, there is also a tatami mat by the window, on which a low table and two soft cloth cushions are placed.

Since Lin Jiangbei was unwilling to take off his shoes, Araki Oi naturally did not invite him to tatami mats, but invited him to sit on the sofa.

Then Araki Oi pulled it to the closet, took out a bottle of Japanese sake from it, and said to Lin Jiangbei: "Xu San, do you want to taste the authentic Japanese sake I brought from Tokyo?" ”

"Director Araki, I just drank your Japanese sake at General Manager Dai two days ago, and the taste can really make people fade out of the bird, I'm not used to it. You might as well bring me a glass of boiled water. Lin Jiangbei waved his hand and said.

"Alright then!" Araki Oi lifted the thermos on the table, poured a glass of boiled water for Lin Jiangbei, then poured himself a glass of Japanese sake, and sat opposite Lin Jiangbei with the wine glass.

"Xu Sang, it's not too early. I won't go around in circles with you, I will just open the window for you and say something! Araki Oi took a sip of sake and said to Lin Jiangbei.

"Director Araki, do you still need to be polite between our old friends? If you have any words, you just say it! Lin Jiangbei cocked Erlang's legs and said with a smile.

"Xu Sang, do you want to make a fortune?" Araki Oi said.

"Haha, Director Araki, look at what you said. Is there anyone in this world who doesn't want to make a fortune? Lin Jiangbei laughed.

Araki Oi secretly rejoiced in his heart, as long as "Xu Sang" wanted to make a fortune, this matter would have a spectrum.

"Then I would like to ask Xu Sang again, as the small boss of Ma Hongji's business branch, how much income can you earn in a month?" Araki Oi asked again.

"It's not much," Lin Jiangbei smiled, "It's just more than three hundred fiat currencies a month." ”

He has a total of more than 50 inverted masters, according to the rules of the industry, an inverted lord can bring him eleven or twelve fiat currency income per month, and if he is handed over to Ma Hongji General Firm, he still has more than 300 fiat currency a month.

Araki Oi couldn't help but smack his mouth secretly. As the person in charge of the Shanghai Labor Agency of Dadong Company, his monthly income is not as high as the small dung head of "Xu Sang"!

"Xu Sang, there is such a business right now, as long as you can help me pull a hundred people, not to mention more per month, a thousand fiat currency is so that you can earn it." Araki Oi said.

"What business?" Lin Jiangbei put down the water cup in his hand, leaned forward, and stared at Araki Oi tightly.

Araki Oi got up and came to the closet, took out a document from it, handed it to Lin Jiangbei, and said: "Our Great Japanese Empire is preparing to start construction of a project to build Asia's largest Fengman Hydropower Station on the Songhua River in Manchukuo. The hydropower project is in dire need of laborers. As long as you can help me introduce workers to the past, I will make a lot of money from keeping you! ”

"Go to the Songhua River to build a hydropower station?" Lin Jiangbei shook his head and sneered, "Director Araki, you are just joking with me." My brothers live a good life in the prosperous realm of Shanghai, why should they go to the gate where birds don't in the ice and snow to suffer? Don't say that this business makes me earn 1,000 fiat dollars a month, even if I make 10,000 fiat dollars a month, I don't want my brothers to pass! ”

"How can you live well in the bustling area of Shanghai?" Araki Oi glanced at Lin Jiangbei and asked, "Xu Sang, dare to ask your brothers, how much income can they earn when they dump dung buckets in Shanghai every month?" ”

"It's hard to say, it mainly depends on the business volume." Lin Jiangbei said, "But no matter how low it is, thirty fiat coins a month is still easy to earn!" ”

"Thirty fiat dollars?" Araki Oi sneered and looked at Lin Jiangbei, "Xu Sang, do you know how high the salary of ordinary laborers is for the Fengman Hydropower Station project?" ”

"How much?" Lin Jiangbei hurriedly asked.

"In addition to food and rent, eighty fiat dollars per month will be issued!" Araki Oi stretched out his hand and made a big "eight" at Lin Jiangbei, "This doesn't include giving you a commission of ten yuan." ”

"If you think about it, if your brother works on the Fengman Hydropower Station project for a year, he can save almost 1,000 fiat currency." Araki Oi continued, "If you work for four or five years and come back with four or five thousand fiat dollars, whether you go back to your hometown in the countryside to buy land and become a small landlord, or go to Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places to buy a few rickshaws and become a small boss yourself, isn't it better than them pulling dung trucks in Shanghai?" ”

"As for Xu Sang, as long as you can get a hundred people over, you don't need to follow you to the Songhua River to be frozen, you are still in Shanghai, you don't have to worry about anything, at the end of each month, I will send you a commission of 1,000 fiat currency. And if you can pull more people over, the commission ratio can also give you a higher increase. ”

"Xu Sang, do a good calculation, is it much better to do this business than you are a small boss with a semicolon in Ma Hung Kee Company? The key is that this business does not affect you to continue to run the business of Ma Hong's score, where can you find such a good thing in the world? ”

"In other words, as long as I introduce a hundred people over, I can earn at least 12,000 fiat dollars in a year?" Lin Jiangbei looked excited.

"Not really!" Araki Oi shook his wine glass and looked at Lin Jiangbei with a smile, "This matter is beneficial to you, me and your brothers, if you miss this opportunity, when the workers on the project over there are full, it will be too late to regret it!" ”

At this time, there was a cry of turtledoves outside the window.

"This matter is very high, I have to put it together!" Lin Jiangbei lit a cigarette, walked to the window, pushed it open, and smoked there.

Araki Oi followed with a wine glass, and also lay next to Lin Jiangbei, looking at the street scene outside the window, "Xu Sang, what is there to think about?" It does not affect you to continue to be your semicolon boss in Shanghai, and this money is equal to your earning for nothing. What's more, it can also make your brothers earn a lot more. Although they say that they are 30 yuan a month in Shanghai, they have a lot of expenses in Shanghai, and they can rent a house to support their families in a year. ”

"That's what you're talking about!" Lin Jiangbei stretched the cigarette butt out of the window and flicked the cigarette ash a few times.

At this time, there were several more turtledoves on the roof.

"I'll take a look at the information again!" Lin Jiangbei snorted the cigarette butt as if he had made up his mind, then waved his hand to close the window, sat back on the sofa, picked up the information from Araki Oi and looked through it.

Araki Oi couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and sat down beside Lin Jiangbei with a wine glass.

Lin Jiangbei frowned suddenly, pointed to a line of words on the information, and asked Araki Oi: "Director Araki, what do you mean by this paragraph?" Why don't I understand it? ”

"That paragraph?"

Araki Oi stretched his neck to read the words on Lin Jiangbei's finger, but Lin Jiangbei's wrist flipped, and the root of his palm was like a heavy hammer, slashing at the root of his ear.

Just heard a crisp click, Araki Oi didn't even have time to hum, and fell headlong on the sofa!
