Chapter 22: Secret Discussion
Zhou Lin went to the dark room again and wrote a secret letter to Minister Chen, which was addressed to Minister Chen.
The secret telegram to Minister Chen read: "The old lady has agreed to the family affair. Please notify my cousin to come and see me. ”
The secret telegram to the military commander was more detailed, explaining which goods could be shipped to the mainland, but they could only be transported to Sichuan. The cargo will be transported by an American freighter, hoping to protect the safety of the freighter along the way.
The two secret letters to Yang Kun were marked after the dead mailbox was placed, and after he came back, Zhou Lin also gave Li Qiang a letter.
After all this, Zhou Lin's stomach was screaming, and he remembered that he hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning.
After breakfast, it was 10:15, and Zhou Lin went to the café again.
Thousands of miles away, Wuhan, caused a small shock.
For a long time, the Japanese have strictly controlled the flow of materials into Wuhan.
This has caused chaos in the Wuhan market, and some daily necessities are scarce. As a result, prices in Wuhan skyrocketed.
The Wuhan government has always wanted to solve this problem, but the fundamental solution to the problem is to meet the market demand, and the market demand needs to be purchased in large quantities from the pearl.
The government tried to find ways in many ways, and even used smuggling channels, but the Japanese pseudo-blockade was very strict, and several cargo transportation plans were aborted.
But now, these problems that are difficult for others to solve have been solved by Zhou Lin.
Dai Li invited Mao Yimin, and the two of them first registered the number of varieties required by their own system, forming the first order for the opening of the first channel.
Then the two men took the telegram and went to the commission.
The old man looked at their expressions and smiled: "What is it that makes the unsmiling Yunong have a smile on his face. ”
Dai Li handed over the message: "Principal, please review it!" ”
The old man sat down, picked up the message and read it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Hmmm! This is like the people of Xikou! The old man complimented.
"But why go to Sichuan?" Mao Yimin said.
The old man thought for a moment: "Originally, I arranged this, but now it is necessary to let you know and join in the rock candy plan." ”
"Project Rock Candy?" The two of them are confused, do they still have a plan?
After the old man told everything about it, the two of them understood, but they were both excited!
Dai Li's excitement was a little unhappy: "Principal, the spy is my person, in the case that I don't know, Lao Chen doesn't say hello, just use it?" ”
The old man asked them to sit down: "First, this rock candy thing is a plan drawn by Minister Chen. Second, it's going to be shocking, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. Thirdly, I mean I want the little guy to do it, and I don't have much hope. I didn't expect him to do it. It is precisely because I consider that the spy is your person that I will tell you now. However, this matter can only be known to Chen and you, and outsiders can't know it, no matter how big the official is, who knows who will die. ”
"Yes! Tightly controlled! Who knows who will die! The two stood up.
"Report!" Minister Chen also came in at this time.
So, the four of them discussed together how to act safely.
"Minister Chen, are the Sichuan people reliable?" Dai Li asked.
"He has a son in my organization department." Chan means hostage.
Old man: "Ten years later, he is still loyal to me!" ”
"The other warlords in Sichuan will be upset when they know the news." Mao Yimin reminded.
"From each of the five corps, one regiment was dispersed and added to his army to increase his strength. These people are mainly guarding the wharf, strictly controlling the number of varieties on the cargo and other information is exposed. Minister Chen introduced.
The old man took over: "Arrange for the 103rd Division to be stationed upstream of the wharf, and the 86th Division to be stationed downstream of the wharf, so that it can be quickly supported if there is a situation." ”
"Headmaster Takami!" The crowd flattered.
"As for how rock candy gets to Mingzhu? It's time to think about it steadily. Minister Chen said.
"Don't you have a passage?" Mao Yimin asked.
"Yes, the last time I tested the water, I took the same passage, I thought it was safe, but the news was quickly known by the Japanese." Minister Chen said hatefully.
"Do you know who told the truth?" Dai Li asked.
"I don't know! I asked Zhou Lin, and he didn't know either! I only know that it is a relationship that Yamada personally grasps. Minister Chen said.
"In this way, the channel of the central system cannot be used. As soon as you use it, the Japanese will know that it is our goods. Dai Li said.
"Hmmm! Is the passage safe for Yunong? The old man asked.
Dai Li thought for a while: "There are also two points that are not sure, and the other points are fine." ”
Mao Yimin: "Replace those two points." What is doubtful cannot be used. ”
Minister Chen: "The point is not there, as long as the enemy keeps an eye on the point, he can catch the point." ”
Mao Yimin: "If Lao Dai's two points are unstable, and Minister Chen's two points are stable......"
Minister Chen asked, "What are your two points?" ”
"Jiujiang, Wuhu." Dai replied.
"I promise to be okay with these two points!" Minister Chen affirmed.
The old man smiled: "Then the two of you will cooperate with the delivery of this rock candy." Be sure to deliver it safely to the warehouse at Pearl Pier. ”
"Yes! Safe delivery guaranteed! The two replied in unison.
"One more question! That is, the Japanese need Wang Feng, that is, the little warlord of Sichuan, to negotiate with Mingzhu. Minister Chen said one more thing.
"Maybe the Japanese are suspicious of the spending power of the petty warlords." Mao Yimin analyzed.
"Yes sure suspicion! Tell Wang Feng that he can't use up the extra goods he exchanged, and let the Japanese give him gold. The old man said.
"That's right! The Japanese asked for rock candy, but they didn't want to pay for it, so they took the goods to arrive. Wang Feng pushed it like this, and the Japanese would definitely not suspect that it was we who wanted the goods. In the future, if I find that Wuhan also sells them, I can only think that Wang Feng needs money. Mao Yimin clapped his hands and said.
"Let him go to Mingzhu, but there must be our people by his side." The old man agreed.
"Wang Feng doesn't know Zhou Lin's true identity, right?" Dai Li asked.
"Of course I don't know! We have a non-organizational informant who liaises between them. And the contact person didn't know Zhou Lin, only knew that Zhou Lin was a very greedy and highly valued little traitor. Minister Chen said.
"! There are also traitors in Xikou? The old man scolded.
"Commission, he is in Cao Ying's heart in Han! It's a hero! Not a traitor! When Mao Yimin saw the situation, he hurriedly explained.
"Yes, yes! He's not a traitor! Several people said at the same time.
In Yan'an, six members of the Central Corridor Working Group have been selected and are undergoing special training, especially on how to do business in enemy-occupied areas.
These people will enter the pearl with limited funds and become small bosses in various industries.
The task given to these people by the central authorities is to seize every opportunity to make use of the water passage of the Yangtze River to provide the base areas with military necessities.
Before Wang Feng in Sichuan arrives in Mingzhu, these people will disperse into Mingzhu.
They don't know each other and can't get in touch. Their upline has a person who is responsible for their vertical connection, codenamed Manager.
March 18, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. 8:45 a.m.
Zhou Lin opened his eyes, stretched on the bed, and lay on the bed again and didn't want to move.
Zhou Lin himself is also very strange, he can stay up late, he can stay up all night, but as long as he lies in bed, he will definitely wake up after half past eight the next morning.
"Jingle bell!" The phone rang.
"Who is it? I don't know that preventing people from sleeping is harmful to people's lives! As soon as Zhou Lin answered the phone, he yelled into the microphone.
"Zhou Linjun, are you still in bed and haven't gotten up?" The voice of the Ministry of Small Forestry.
Zhou Lin hurriedly said seriously: "Xiaolin-kun, I got up a long time ago and was reading yesterday's work briefing." ”
Xiao Lin on the other end of the phone frowned, as if he heard someone say that disturbed his sleep, but in the blink of an eye, he became a hard worker.
He didn't care much, the head of the agency was accommodating, why should I offend people?
The sale of the next antique watch, a lot of hope is in Zhou Lin.
"Zhou Linjun, we received a tip-off that person came to Mingzhu City." Kobayashi said loudly.
Zhou Lin kept the microphone away from his ears: "Xiaolin-kun, who is it?" ”
"It's someone who likes antique watches." Xiao Lin said excitedly: "I don't know if any of his friends like antique watches, I still have one." ”
"I'll ask for you when I get a chance. Where is he now? Zhou Lin asked.
"I still live in the banquet building. The director said, "It's time for you to go to the banquet building for breakfast." Hearing that Zhou Lin was willing to help, Xiao Lin was very happy.
It's not that he's greedy, it's that the relatives in the Japanese family eat pig food every day.
He wanted to make money and send his relatives to live in the United States.
"Yes! I'll go to the banquet building right away. Zhou Lin put down the microphone and got up quickly.
Five minutes later, Zhou Lin, who was refreshed, left the dock.
As soon as he got out of the dock, an oncoming car blocked in front of Zhou Lin's car.
Zhou Lin was shocked: Uncle! Don't be a robbery.
Thinking like this, Zhou Lin hurriedly took out his pistol and prepared to fire a warning shot.
"Director Zhou, it's me!" A voice rolls out of the car with a single person.
Zhou Lin saw it and immediately put away the gun: "If you shout later, then you will have a few more holes in your body." How bold you are to stand in my way. ”
"Yes, yes! I only said stop you, but I didn't expect him to stop you like this. ”
Only then did a gangster who was driving the car see that he was stopping a person he couldn't provoke, and hurriedly ran forward to hand over a cigarette and light a fire.
Zhou Lin took a cigarette and didn't light it: "Where are you going?" ”
The thug answered: "Come to the dock, of course it's to worship the dock, worship you!" ”
Li Xiahui pulled away from the gangsters: "I'm here to give you New Year's greetings." ”
"New Year's greetings? I'm sixteen today, what year is it? Zhou Lin asked rhetorically.
"I originally planned to arrive before the fifteenth, but the typhoon was delayed."
Zhou Lin interrupted Li Xiahui's explanation: "I'm going to have breakfast like a banquet, let's go together?" ”
"Good!" Li Xiahui opened Zhou Lin's car door and sat in.
After sitting down, he stuck his head out and asked the thug to drive the car back into the gang. It turned out that this gangster was a member of the Green Gang.
Zhou Lin drove to the banquet building and asked for a private room.
After entering the room, Zhou Lin checked all the places in the private room and found no eavesdropping devices.
"It's safe, just say it." Zhou Lin sat on the sofa.
Li Xiahui pulled the bag beside him, took out five big yellow croakers and put them in front of Zhou Lin.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Lin took the big yellow croaker and looked at it, it was real.
This is the first time Zhou Lin has been given a big yellow croaker. A large yellow croaker has five taels, while a small yellow croaker has only one tael.
"This is my eldest brother's belated New Year's gift that I asked me to honor you." Li Xiahui looked at Zhou Lin eagerly, expecting Zhou Lin to accept it.
There was a knock on the door outside, and Xiao Er came up to set up refreshments.
Zhou Lin hurriedly and quickly put the five big yellow croakers into his briefcase.
"Go back and tell your eldest brother, thank him, I have time to invite him to Mingzhu, I will cover all the expenses, and I promise to let him have fun." Zhou Lin said immediately.
"I'll tell you!" Li Xiahui said with a happy smile.
It was set up in front of the two of them early, and the steaming Tieguanyin had an attractive aroma, and the two of them each took a sip.
"I heard that Director Zhou likes Tieguanyin, so I brought two catties of high-quality products this time, which is guaranteed to be much stronger than this." Li Xiahui looked at Zhou Lin admiring the tea, and said hurriedly.
"Is it really better than that?" Zhou Lin asked.
"Promise not to tell a lie!" Li Xiahui finally made Zhou Lin whet his appetite.
"Just so I was useful. Do you know why I drink Tieguanyin? Zhou Lin asked mysteriously. Li Xiahui really didn't know, so he had to shake his head.
"It's the head of the Yamada organ who likes to drink Tieguanyin tea, and I was taught by him."
Zhou Lin's words made Li Xiahui feel that he had received a major piece of information, and Yamada liked to drink Tieguanyin the most.
"After I go back, I will get a few more catties of Tieguanyin after looking for relationships." Li Xiahui said.
"That's two catties, and I'll give one catty to Chief Yamada, enough for him to drink for a few months. The rest may have to take out seven taels and give them to those Japanese officers who are good Tieguanyin. In Zhou Lin's words, he had already divided the two catties of Tieguanyin.
"Next time, I'll bring it to you." Li Xiahui was satisfied.
"You won't be a gift from me this time, will you?" Zhou Lin asked.
"There's something I want to ask you for." Li Xiahui also spoke directly.
"You can't do without those things!" Zhou Lin pointed out in one sentence.
"Director Zhou is a cheerful person, haha. We still want to do that business. ”
Zhou Lin raised his hand: "After eating, go out with me for a walk." ”
Li Xiahui understood that this was not the place to talk, and after the two drank tea for half an hour, they left the banquet building.
As soon as the two of them got into the car, Zhou Lin asked: "Is your business a batch of money, or a long-term business?" ”
"Long-term! We have long-term customers overseas, Southeast Asia, and Jima Island. There is a large amount of goods. Then he said a number.
Zhou Lin thought for a while and said: "I will supply you for many years, although the quantity is not as large as what you reported, but it can solve two-fifths." ”
Li Xiahui froze: "Do you have the goods in your hands?" ”
"Hmmm! There were several warlords in Sichuan who were in urgent need of money and found the head of the Yamada Agency, who wanted to buy the goods of our pearl and the arms of the imperial army, and they had tobacco and soil in their hands. If you are willing, I will go back and ask the director of the agency to negotiate this deal. Zhou Lin said angrily.
"Yes! Absolutely! If Director Chow can facilitate this, we will have a big gift. Li Xiahui felt that gold had fallen from the sky.
As long as the Pearl Japanese army does business with itself, what are they afraid of? It must be a smooth fortune, count the golden tickets!
"But there is one thing, the business between you and me, except for your boss alone, you can't let a third party know. If it leaks and annoys Yamada, he will let the Japanese troops stationed in Taiwan kill you. Zhou Lin explained.
"I understand! I don't say! I won't say anything about killing me. ”
