Chapter 14 Preparations
"Haiwen, in the future, your foreign company's imported cosmetics from the United States and French perfumes will come and pick the best ones for me to leave a few sets." Chen Mingxiang said.
Don't say it's cosmetics, even if it's sacrificing your "beauty", you have to take a good picture of Liu Nina and Xu Caili's sycophants, these two women are too useful.
"Why do you want cosmetics and perfumes for a big man? Do you have a girlfriend? ”
Lu Kunyu was very sensitive, and suddenly became very nervous, staring at Chen Mingxiang without blinking.
Zhou Haiwen next to him, don't mention this envy in his heart.
In terms of family background, his family is also a little famous in Shanghai, and in terms of appearance, he is no worse than Chen Mingxiang, but he is always a little worse, and he can only stay at the stage of friends.
"Where do you want to go, of course the first of these good things is to be given to you first, you are my favorite little sister!"
"The rest of them, I'm going to go to the relationship, there are a lot of female staff on the seventy-sixth, and giving this thing is the best way to get closer."
Chen Mingxiang looked at her and said with a smile.
When Lu Kunyu heard the first sentence, a seductive flush appeared on her jade-like face, and she lowered her head and stopped talking, her expression was sweet and shy.
I'm really out of play!
Zhou Haiwen's heart was cold, like drinking a glass of ice water in the cold winter.
The driver of the Zhou family brought twelve large yellow croaker, two more than Chen Mingxiang requested.
He understood what Zhou Haiwen meant, dealing with the Japanese costs money, and he just went to work, so he was a little shy in his pocket, and there was no need to say so much between the two brothers.
"Brother Zhang, do you know where there are cheap houses for rent?"
"I'll invite Captain Shibuya to dinner in two days, and you know the situation of my family, that kind of small house is really a bit slow for the Japanese."
The banquet for the Japanese can not be in the uncle's house, nor in the house he rents, adhering to the principle of three holes of the cunning rabbit, Chen Mingxiang is ready to rent another set.
"Okay, brother, I can actually get in touch with the Japanese, I want to think about it, not to mention, there are really a few unprocessed properties in the assets of No. 76, and there is one next to Jing'an Temple."
Hearing that Chen Mingxiang and the Japanese had a relationship, Zhang Lu also became positive.
When Chen Mingxiang came to the place, he saw that the area of this yard was really not small, and he could even drive into a truck.
Right now, this is the sundries warehouse of the Secret Service Headquarters, with two ruffians guarding the door.
The yard was littered with piles of furniture, covered with tarpaulin, and littered with weeds.
After the Japanese captured Shanghai, they raided the homes of many high-ranking officials of the Nationalist Government in Shancheng.
They took away the gold, silver, jewelry, and other valuables, but the furniture and ornaments could not be taken away.
These bulky things, which were not worth much during the war, and are not antique porcelain, the spies were too lazy to deal with them, so they were all thrown here.
Chen Mingxiang took a look at the oilcloth and saw that most of them were tables, chairs and benches in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
I walked around casually, and when I entered the door, I saw that the decoration was quite luxurious, with solid wood floors and thick carpets in the living room, and a glass chandelier on the roof.
There was a kitchen, a small dining room and a servant's bedroom, as well as a bathroom and toilet for bathing, all furnished, and a lot of miscellaneous items.
There is also a separate reception room on the first floor, the residence of a Japanese businessman, which must have sliding doors and tatami mats, and for some unknown reason, it still maintains the original style.
On the second floor, there is a Japanese-style study, two master bedrooms, a guest room, and a bathroom and toilet.
The room was a mess, the floor was full of dust, and I don't know how long no one came up.
"It's such a waste of clutter piled up in such a nice house."
Chen Mingxiang turned around and said to Zhang Lu.
"This yard hasn't been dealt with yet, if you like it, just buy it!"
Zhang Lu said with a smile, he also wanted to sell Chen Mingxiang a good one.
"Brother Zhang, you think too highly of me, don't you? The house in Shanghai is more expensive than in Nanjing, how can I have so much money to buy it! ”
"With my salary, the issue is still Huaxing coupons, can I eat enough or another story, I want to buy a house, let's go in the next life!" Chen Mingxiang's heart moved.
Before the puppet Nationalist government in Nanjing did not appear on the scene, Shanghai belonged to the so-called puppet regime Restoration Government, led by the great traitor Liang Hongzhi.
This puppet government issued a currency called Huaxing bonds through Huaxing Commercial Bank, and all major government agencies under the puppet government had to use Huaxing bonds as salaries.
But the market does not recognize this kind of currency without foreign exchange reserves as a basis, that is, without roots, and it is impossible to buy anything with Huaxing bonds.
Chen Mingxiang has lived in Shanghai for many years, and the houses here are expensive, and a hundred gold bars are not enough to buy a yard, especially the house in the Jing'an Temple.
"Don't talk about that unlucky Huaxing coupon, is this thing bought? The seventy-sixth issued the ocean and fiat currency, otherwise who would be willing to give his life to the Japanese. ”
"If according to the housing prices in Shanghai, others will have to buy at least 30,000 oceans for this yard, that is, 100 large yellow croaker."
"But you are your own person, Director Li is also very satisfied with you, I will go and talk to Captain Wu later, as long as he agrees, ten gold bars will be taken down." Zhang Lu said with a smile.
"Brother Zhang, you're not joking with me, are you? I can borrow ten gold bars, but I can't dream of buying such a big yard! Chen Mingxiang's heart moved.
It looks like there must be something strange about this set of yards, otherwise it would never be this price, what kind of special own people, pure!
"Everyone is brothers, of course there is a reason why it is so cheap, you think carefully before you buy." Zhang Lu said.
After listening to this, Chen Mingxiang learned that this courtyard used to be the residence of a Japanese businessman, presumably a member of the intelligence agency, and was later killed by the military commanders.
The Japanese, considering safety concerns, handed over the house to No. 76 to deal with.
The head of the General Affairs Section wanted to move here, but within a few days, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants.
The captain of the second task force put the little mistress here, and she was so frightened that she went insane, and it was later turned into a warehouse.
I see!
It's no wonder that this money can buy a yard with a two-story small western-style building, this kind of thing is incredible in Shanghai, no wonder people say that miracles are everywhere here!
As for the evil sect, Chen Mingxiang doesn't care, he has never believed in any ghosts and gods, although superstitious ideas are very prevalent in the military system, and Boss Dai is a typical example.
"It's not good, Director Li is very optimistic about this guy, and now he has a relationship with the Japanese, we have no shortage of places on the 76th, and it is a bit unlucky that someone has died in that courtyard, if Director Li knows, he still thinks we are making trouble!"
Wu Sibao heard Zhang Lu say that Chen Mingxiang was willing to buy it, so he was a little hesitant in his heart.
The place is really a good place, the area is spacious enough, and the decoration is luxurious enough, after all, it is the residence of a Japanese merchant, or some European architectural style, which was first designed by the French.
But there are too many strange things in that courtyard, don't scare Chen Mingxiang into a mental disorder.
