Chapter 105: Conversation at the Billiards Club
"Thank you for your help." Geng Chaozhong said with a smile.
"No, I'm just tired of his greed." Blonde youth Joseph Adrian said.
Obviously, there should be some kind of connection between him and Geng Chaozhong.
Geng Chaozhong smiled slightly, and then set the ball up again, but this time, he didn't call the waiter for help.
Tee off again, however, this time Geng Chaozhong's luck didn't seem to be so good, he shook his head, stood up, looked at Adrian, and asked:
"It's been a long time since you've been back to Germany, Adrian."
"About three years! I thought you were going to be targeting that person. ”
Adrian leaned down and easily smashed a red ball in.
"Before planting flowers, you should cut the weeds first."
Geng Chaozhong watched Adrian play with his cue, occasionally glancing at the busy police officers outside the window.
"Makes sense, but be careful not to get your fingers hurt by thorns."
Adrian scored six goals in a row before stopping his performance, he stood up, walked to the coffee table next to the table, and made himself a cup of coffee.
Then, watching Geng Chaozhong hit the black ball into the hole with one shot.
Geng Chaozhong spread his hands, put down the club helplessly, and sat in front of Adrian.
"Haha, I feel like I lost two hundred dollars!"
Adrian laughed, and then made a cup of coffee for Geng Chaozhong.
"I have a lot of friends in Qingdao, and three years ago, I was also a regular at Malcolm's Cafe. I had long wanted to meet the legendary Mr. Roosevelt who had a deep understanding of the situation on the European continent. Last year's economic crisis, this year's German election campaign, your judgment of the situation is exquisite!
As you say, Mr. Hitler has become the number two man in German politics. I'm curious to see what else interesting things will happen in the future. ”
Adrian stared into the bearded man's eyes and said.
"Oh, it's not hard for me. As long as the economic crisis continues, Mr. Hitler's rise will be unstoppable. In my opinion, you should bet on the next three years, on this retired corporal to win everything. Geng Chaozhong said.
"Is it?"
Adrian's eyes lit up, this guy in front of him actually thought that Hitler could win everything!
However, the German election that has just passed has proved his prescience - before the election, Hitler, who was not favored by almost everyone, won 20% of the vote in one fell swoop, and succeeded in leading the second largest party in Germany, which surprised all European newspaper observers and commentators.
And now, he even thinks that this is just the beginning!
Adrian glanced at the guy in front of him again, in his opinion, a person with this kind of analytical ability should now be sitting in an office in some office on London's Cross Street, serving as a strategic intelligence analysis expert for some famous consortium, and should not be keen on killing a bastard who seems to him to be completely unpopular!
This mysterious guy!
"Alright! I don't know, why are you still staying in the East, it seems to me that Europe is the center of the world, and you should stand on a higher stage. Adrian said.
"Yes, I'll go there someday, but for now, I just want to stay in China. It's like you, as a German, don't stay in an island city with many friends and a warm spring, but you have to come to cold Harbin and open a billiards club that is not frequented by many people. ”
Geng Chaozhong looked at the blonde young man in front of him, he knew that the other party must be very curious about his identity, but in the same way, he was also curious about Adrian.
The Joseph Adrian in front of him is the owner of this Joseph billiards club, and he is also a well-known intelligence dealer in Harbin.
As a German, there must be a very special reason why he did not stay in Qingdao, the former colony of rich resources, but went to the distant and cold Harbin.
"Haha!" Joseph laughed.
"We're all about to forget about the Malcolm Cafe! Yes, everyone has their own unique reasons. So, what else do you want to know about Makarov"
"No, you've given me enough."
Geng Chaozhong shook his head - all his information about Major General Makarov was provided by him.
Of course, to get all this, you need to exchange for something of equal value, and Geng Chaozhong's prestige in Malcolm's café has already reflected this value.
As early as four months ago, when he was in the island city, he predicted in his identity that in the German general election in September, Hitler's party would become the second largest party in the Reichstag.
This intelligence made Roosevelt a thunderous name in the Far Eastern intelligence community.
You know, this is not a piece of intelligence that can be exchanged for money immediately, and it seems that knowing in advance is not a big deal - but this is just the thinking of ordinary people.
But in the eyes of real speculators, this intelligence is priceless!
Consortiums and businessmen can nurture and invest in a politician when he is unknown, and when the politician comes to power, they can get unparalleled returns – mining rights, navigation rights, territorial rights, and even the right to issue government bonds and stocks.
This is what the real big speculators are keen on - in fact, as early as the Warring States period in China, Lü Buwei was a master of this kind of investment - others invest in goods, and Lü Buwei invests in people!
Of course, if you want to be this kind of speculator, you also need to be very strong, and it is not just a cat or a dog that can invest in politicians.
In other words, if you want to invest in a politician, people won't necessarily accept it, and you have to have a lot of weight to make a deal.
Geng Chaozhong and Adrian chatted with each other, talking about elections in Europe to the situation in the Far East, and even congratulating the new emperor of Ethiopia in North Africa. The coffee on the table was added and continued, and no one seemed to have any intention of ending the conversation early.
Finally, when the clock struck nine o'clock, Adrian was ready to end the conversation.
"By the way, Mr. Roosevelt, I think there should be something called friendship between us. If one day you go to Europe, I think I will introduce my sister to you, even if you are a Chinese. ”
"Haha," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "It took two hours of talking, you just want to confirm my race, in fact, you should trust your eyes, after all, black-eyed Europeans are still very rare." ”
"I'm just very curious, even shocked, a Chinese knows more about the European continent than even a German, I can't understand, perhaps, this is a talent, for example, similar to Cardinal Richelieu's" Adrian unabashedly expressed his shock.
"No, it's just a coincidence."
Geng Chaozhong stood up, "Goodbye my friend, I hope that the next time we meet, we can still call each other like this." ”
