Chapter 590: First Contact (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Guan Han had already thought of an excuse before he came, he expected that this Boss Su was just an ordinary businessman, even if he bought the old mansion of the Lian family, he would not be meticulous enough to investigate the old owner before, and he stood up as a member of the Lian family, and the other party should not be suspicious.
When Su Gaoyang heard this, he knew the other party's intention, it turned out that he had come to buy this house, according to his understanding, this house was indeed lived in by a family surnamed Lian before the Songhu War, and it seemed that the old owner came to the door.
However, this mansion is the residence of the intelligence department for his own task force, and it is used to disguise his identity as the owner of the cloth farm, how can he sell it, and besides, he does not have this authority.
Su Gaoyang's face sank, his hands were spread, and he said: "Mr. Lian, this is really unfortunate, I am also optimistic about this house, I just bought it, I am very satisfied with this house, I have no intention of making a move at present, and I still disappointed Mr. Lian." ”
When Guan Han heard this, he waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile: "Boss Su, don't be so anxious first!" You and I are both businessmen, so we naturally know that everything is negotiable, in this way, you Boss Su make a price, I will never let Boss Su suffer a loss, this house is just a residence for you, but for our family, it is an ancestral house that has been inherited for many years, as long as the price is right, wouldn't it be convenient for you and me! ”
Su Gaoyang frowned, it seemed that the other party insisted on buying this house, if he insisted on refusing to sell the house, it would make the other party think more, so he decided to offer a high price to make the other party retreat.
Thinking of this, Su Gaoyang looked Guan Han up and down, nodded and said: "What Mr. Lian said makes sense, since you are so sincere, I will make a price, if you agree, then I won't say a word, the original of this house will be returned, if you don't agree, I hope Mr. Lian will not be entangled." ”
When Guan Han heard this, his face was overjoyed, it seemed that the other party still had the willingness to make a move, as long as he was willing to negotiate the price, he hurriedly agreed: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, please ask Boss Su to make a price!" ”
Su Gaoyang opened his big hand, stretched out three fingers, and said, "Not much, 30,000 US dollars!" ”
This sentence immediately made Guan Han jump, he never expected that this Boss Su would be so greedy, the lion opened his mouth, and asked for 30,000 US dollars at once.
The market price of Lian's old house is about 20,000 US dollars, and the other party only spent 14,000 US dollars when he bought it, and in just a few days, it has directly doubled, which is simply blackmail!
He couldn't help but say loudly: "Boss Su, this price is too much, everyone knows very well about the current Shanghai real estate, this house is only 20,000 US dollars at most, as far as I know, when you start it, it was only 14,000 US dollars, but in the past few days, you have to offer three US dollars, and business is not like this." ”
Su Gaoyang originally didn't plan to negotiate this deal, but he was just looking for an excuse to take the other party, he saw Guan Han Tieqing's face, and said lightly: "Mr. Lian, it seems that he is determined to win, even my purchase price has been inquired, yes, my offer is a little high, but the area of this mansion is not small, in Shanghai, the price can only rise and not fall, besides, it is troublesome and cumbersome to move once, and I Su someone also has thin assets, so I can't just toss back and forth for a small profit, I'm not driving $30,000 is not high! ”
These words made Guan Han roll his eyes, he stabilized his mind, and finally took a long breath and said: "Boss Su, you are a bit of a robbery, you know that this is the ancestral home of my Lian family, and you are using this to raise the price, which is a little unkind!" ”
Su Gaoyang smiled lightly and replied: "You also know that this is the ancestral house of the Lian family, why didn't you dare to come when the Japanese lived?" To be honest, this house is in my hands, you and I can still bargain, if the Japanese are still there, you don't want to take back your ancestral home, with this price, it's good! If you're not satisfied, you're done! ”
After speaking, he made a gesture of please, signaling that Guan Han could leave.
Guan Han looked at Su Gaoyang who was so determined, sitting firmly in the posture of Diaoyutai, and couldn't help but feel a little angry, he was originally mentally prepared, the other party would definitely raise the price, but he didn't expect it to be so outrageous, the extra 10,000 US dollars is by no means a small amount, and he must go back to report to the stationmaster Wang Hanmin.
So Guan Han arched his hand and said: "Boss Su, let's discuss this matter slowly, then I'll leave first!" ”
After speaking, the two of them bowed their hands, and Guan Han turned to leave.
Seeing his back leaving, Su Gaoyang frowned, there was no flaw in the other party's words, and the reason was also very good, it was not a problem that he wanted to take back the ancestral house, the question was, is this person really just here to buy a house? Is there any possibility of testing him?
In addition to Ning Zhiheng's good leadership, there is also a very important point, that is, these agents under him are indeed carefully selected elites, and it can be said that the intelligence personnel of the Shanghai Intelligence Section are the best among all the agents of the current Military Control Bureau.
Su Gaoyang thought for a moment, waved his hand, and called over several members of the action team who had been observing from the sidelines.
"Xiaojie, Jianbing, you follow this Lian Sedum, follow to the foothold, and see what kind of character he is? Be careful, this person doesn't have to be an ordinary person, don't surprise him! ”
"Yes!" Two members of the team took the order.
"Lao Ma, immediately go to find the old residents around and ask them, the previous head of the household, Lian Liangchou, does he have a nephew named Lian Jingtian, if so, how old is he and what he looks like, the more detailed the situation, the better!"
At the beginning of the battle of Songhu in downtown Shanghai, most of the Chinese citizens fled their homes, and when they returned to the city later, many households have changed, but there are still many old residents who are guarding their old houses, and there should be many old neighbors near their homes.
Guan Han didn't expect that the Boss Su he contacted turned out to be his colleague, so when he left, he didn't raise his vigilance, and he didn't even notice that there was a tail behind him.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, several team members rushed back and reported the situation to Su Gaoyang one by one.
Cheng Jie, a member of the action team, reported: "Captain, Lian Jingtian did not live in downtown Shanghai, we followed him all the way, he crossed the Baidu Bridge, entered the concession area, and finally near Yannan Road in the French Concession, this person disappeared. ”
"Why didn't you follow?" Su Gaoyang asked in surprise, his team members are all elites, and simple tracking is still competent, and there have been no mistakes in such a long period of latent work.
"He entered a bookstore and never came out, we waited for a long time, went in and looked around, and there was no trace of him inside, we felt that something was wrong, so we quickly evacuated." Cheng Jie explained that they were also experienced agents, and they knew that they had taken off the hook as soon as they came into contact at that time, so in order not to alarm the other party, they immediately left Yannan Road.
"The name of the bookstore?"
"Double Happiness Bookstore!"
"Yannan Road, Double Happiness Bookstore?" Su Gaoyang pondered for a moment, this Lian Sedum is indeed a problem, being able to avoid the tracking of his two subordinates, which in itself is not something that an ordinary person can do, it seems that his caution is not superfluous, everything can not be careless.
Su Gaoyang was a little unsure, in fact, he didn't know that No. 57 Yannan Road was where the Shanghai Intelligence Station was located, and the Double Happiness Bookstore was also the first security checkpoint of the Intelligence Station.
However, it was the intelligence group members of the Intelligence Section who monitored Wang Hanmin at the beginning, and Su Gaoyang was a member of the operation team of the Intelligence Section, and the secrecy of the intelligence work was extremely high.
Otherwise, as long as one person has a problem, Shanghai Station will be destroyed.
Su Gaoyang didn't dwell on this matter, he could only report this matter to the higher authorities, and the superiors would solve the matter.
At this time, he turned his head to look at Ma Tianyu, a member of the action team, and asked, "Old Ma, tell me about your investigation?" ”
After Ma Tianyu visited several old households nearby, he finally figured out all the situation, and he said: "Captain, we checked, these old residents don't know much about Lian Liangchou, after all, the Lian family is a wealthy businessman, and the status is very different, and there is generally no intersection, but the Chen family and the Liu family at the end of the street, these two families used to have some friendship with Lian Liangchou, according to them, Lian Liangchou has a big background behind him, and he is a minister surnamed Gan of the Nanjing Military Government, so the business is very big, and he is a well-known local rich businessman.
He has two sons, one works in the Nanjing government, and the other is sent to France to study, and he has not heard of any nephews, but their friendship is not deep, and he is not sure if there is such a person as Lian Sedum! ”
Not sure again! Su Gaoyang closed his eyes slightly, thinking carefully, based on the current situation, he couldn't be sure of Lian Sedum's true origin for a while.
It shouldn't be the Japanese, the Japanese base is in the urban area, if you want to report, you don't need to go to the French Concession, but Lian Sedum finally disappeared on Yannan Road in the French Concession, what is the origin of this person, but as long as there is a trace of suspicion, he can no longer take risks, the cruelty of intelligence work, so that he does not dare to have the slightest luck.
"We will evacuate this house today, and the cloth shop will not be able to go back, I will report to my superiors immediately, and ask for specific countermeasures!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, and immediately evacuated the old mansion of the Lian family, leaving only a few servants to guard them, these people were all hired by Su Gaoyang, and there was no problem in staying.
