After Phillips took the list, he carefully reviewed it, frowned, and said: "Mr. Chen, I believe you also know that everyone has no stock in hand now, and these things you need need a little time to prepare, especially the amount of TNT explosives is too large, and I need time to raise them."

Detonators are in stock, but as for the latest Browning pistols and matching steel-core bullets, the value of these goods is not cheap, and special channels are needed to order.

Oh, my God! Are you going to fight a war? ”

Huo Yueze looked at the other party's performance coldly, he knew that this was a means for this foreign devil to raise the price.

"Mr. Phillips, I know that you are a seller specializing in selling these high-end goods, so I came to you, we will deal with you in the future, I hope you will not let me down!"

"No problem, I can provide these high-end goods, but we only settle in US dollars, in terms of price~" Phillips smiled slightly, and then stretched out four fingers, which suddenly made Huo Yueze's face change.

"Forty thousand dollars? It's outrageous! Of course Huo Yueze couldn't agree, this was far beyond the price of the black market, "Mr. Phillips, you have no sincerity at all, you have broken the law!" ”

"Mr. Chen, I know that my offer may be a little too high, but I can guarantee that for now, only I can use the diplomatic channel to transport these arms into Shanghai as quickly as possible, of course, the business can be negotiated slowly, if there is a problem, we will discuss it slowly!" Phillips said unhurriedly, he knew very well in his heart that these people must not be able to find the source of goods they needed on the black market, so they found him, and he was very sure that he could win this business.

After a fierce confrontation and bargaining, Phillips finally said: "Mr. Chen, this is good, I can make a deal according to your price, after all, we are dealing for the first time, I can give you a preferential price." ”

Huo Yueze also shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Phillips, the current transaction price is much higher than the average price of the black market, are you still not satisfied?" It's hard to imagine that if you do this, it will be difficult for us to trade again in the future! ”

Although Huo Yueze knew that the transaction price would definitely be very high this time, he didn't expect that Phillips would ask for such an outrageous amount, it was simply a lion's mouth, if it wasn't for the time constraints, he would never be the wronged leader.

Phillips laughed and said, "Chen, you have a saying in China that existence is the truth!" My price is a bit more expensive, but the goods provided are high-end, the best quality, the fastest time, I am sure we will trade again in the future. ”

"So how long does it take to get the goods?" Huo Yueze didn't want to say more, so he asked directly.

"Twenty days!" Phillips habitually stuck out two fingers again.

"It can't be, we can't wait that long!" Huo Yueze shook his head again and again, the headquarters ordered to complete this blasting task within 40 days, and now that three days have passed, and when the TNT explosives are transported to Shanghai, he will have to find a way to transport them to the Japanese occupation zone, and the time in between is too tight.

"Phillips~" Huo Yueze said urgently.

"Chen, we are trading partners now, and I believe that in the future, according to your Chinese habits, you can call me Fili directly." Phillips waved back unhurriedly and interrupted Huo Yueze's words, "I understand your feelings, it's okay, sixteen days!" That's the fastest speed, I promise! If you search all over Shanghai, no one will be able to get this batch of arms into Shanghai faster than me. ”

Huo Yueze couldn't help but feel annoyed, the guy on the other side firmly controlled the initiative of this transaction, but now it is a seller's market, because he knows that what the other party said is the truth, if it was in Shanghai before the war, these arms would definitely not be so in demand, but now the Japanese control goods are very strict, many black market arms dealers have stopped trading because they have no way, only these diplomats like Phillips can use the diplomatic channel to transport this batch of arms into the concession, they have no choice, There was no room to fight back.

"Alright! Fili! We said yes, sixteen days! It can't be too late, or I'll end the deal! Huo Yueze said helplessly.

"Deal!" Phillips happily stretched out his big hand, shook Huo Yueze tightly, and finally made a deal.

Phillips turned around and poured three glasses of red wine, handed them to Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi respectively, and gestured: "For our friendship!" ”

Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi glanced at each other, although the deal was negotiated this time, it gave the other party, a foreign devil, the upper hand, and the entire rhythm of the negotiation was under his control, this feeling was very uncomfortable, but the situation was stronger than people, so it could only be so.

The three of them touched lightly and drank the wine in the glass.

After the transaction was completed, Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi were about to get up and say goodbye, but Phillips stretched out his hand and asked them to continue to sit down.

"Chen, the arms business is over, we can talk about other business!" Phillips said with a smile on his face.

"Other business?" Huo Yueze asked in a deep voice, "Fili, can you make it clearer?" ”

"Chen, that's the case, in fact, my main business is not arms, you can also see, in terms of arms, I only deal in high-end goods that others don't have, and the business is really not good, because my main business is intelligence!" Phillips said.

"Intelligence?"

"Yes, all kinds of intelligence, military, political, Japanese, Chinese, even us Americans, of course, if you need, British, German, French, I can also provide you with it." Phillips spread his hands out and said in an exaggerated tone.

Only then did Huo Yueze know that this foreign devil turned out to be an intelligence dealer, and he was an international intelligence dealer, and his tone was also amazing.

Huo Yueze is not very surprised by this, Shanghai is the largest metropolis in the Far East, a paradise for Western adventurers, there are concessions and consulates of the world's major powers, and intelligence forces from all sides are also gathered here.

So it is not an exaggeration to say that Shanghai is the center of China's intelligence market!

"Fili, I didn't expect you to have such a business to provide, but I don't have any information needs for the time being, if there is a need, I will propose it to you!" Huo Yueze nodded and said.

He's also shrewd, and he doesn't believe what Phillips says just by relying on his mouth, do you know if the information he sold you is true or not? Is the price high or low? Is there any uniqueness? Is it time-sensitive?

These need to be deeply understood, in fact, Ning Zhiheng has long instructed Huo Yueze to integrate into the Shanghai intelligence market as soon as possible and make the most of it, money is the most powerful weapon in the world, and some top-secret information of great value does not have to be obtained from within the enemy!

Phillips saw his doubts, and then explained: "Chen, I know you don't believe me, but I can be your guide to further contact Shanghai's intelligence network, and don't doubt me, because we have a common enemy, the Japanese!" If you need it, contact me, I can introduce you to some friends, but on the condition that I take a commission as a middleman, twenty percent! ”

"Aren't you afraid that we are Japanese?" Huo Yueze asked with a smile.

"Do the Japanese still need to look for me if they want explosives? They also don't use Browning pistols. Phillips said lightly, pointing to the list, "The TNT is specially used for mining, and the high-efficiency explosives for blasting buildings, and the Browning pistol and steel-core bullets are specially used for assassination, are you from Nanjing?" ”

None of these veterans of intelligence is a fuel-efficient lamp, Huo Yueze scolded secretly, he thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, I will find you as soon as I need it, I hope to cooperate happily in the future." ”

The two sides shook hands and said goodbye, Huo Yueze and Ji Hongyi turned around and walked out of the villa, and a team of action team members outside was hidden in the dark to answer, and they got into the car and left quickly.

"Are these foreigners really so powerful? Can you get information about the Japanese? Ji Hongyi sat in the back seat of the driver and asked with some doubts.

"Money can make the devil grind! Japanese people also love money, but I'm going to take another look at it and wait until I ask the stationmaster for advice before making a decision. "Huo Yueze still does things safely, and this kind of thing still needs to be said after consulting the stationmaster.

Ji Hongyi rolled his eyes and said: "Send someone to follow this foreign devil, see who he is in contact with, find out the intelligence network behind him, and we can also contact and find out by ourselves." ”

Huo Yueze's heart moved, this is not a good way, he thought about it carefully, and finally said slowly: "Let's wait a while, this person is the military attache of the US Consulate, dare to make it clear to us, naturally with the power behind him, we are hiding in the concession now, there is no need to embarrass them, once it is stiff, it will be difficult to end!" ”

Ji Hongyi nodded after hearing this, and didn't say anything more.

The next morning, Ning Zhiheng was in the room of the Spring Hotel, rubbing his tired cheeks, and said disappointedly: "After staring at it all night, the guards are as strict as during the day, there are no loopholes to take advantage of, we can't get in at all, and the previous idea must be redesigned." ”

Ning Zhiheng sneaked out of the hotel alone last night and observed from a distance at the gates of several warehouses for a night, but there was no gap at all, which shows how much the Japanese attach importance to these three military warehouses.

Yi Hua'an, who was on the side, handed a glass of milk and a few slices of bread to Ning Zhiheng, and said softly: "Stationmaster, I also thought about it for a night yesterday, and I have an idea, do you think it's okay?" ”
