Chapter 233: Consulting

The fastest way to travel between the capital and Qibei must be by plane, but Yu Shan definitely didn't dare to take a plane with someone else's ID card. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoEspecially the strict security check at the capital airport, if it is found out, Yu Shan, a black household, really can't explain what his identity is. He had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and chose to take the train.

Yu Shan checked the train number, drove to the train station and immediately bought a special express at six o'clock in the evening. Trains to the capital are usually not delayed, and if all goes well, he will arrive in the capital at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, fifteen hours later.

After buying the ticket, Yu Shan went to the hotel first to check out, and then went back to the bungalow. It takes a lot of money to go through the security check with more than one million cash, and there is no need to say so much, Yu Shan hid most of the cash and brought 200,000 cash. ate noodles near the train station, stayed up until the time to get on the train, and Yu Shan went to sleep on the middle bunk.

Since graduating from college, Yu Shan has not taken a train for a long time. The sleeper car environment is like that, there are snoring, teeth grinding, and talking in the sleep nearby, and if you catch up with children, then don't want to sleep this night.

Yu Shan was always half asleep and half awake that night, and he couldn't figure out whether he was asleep or not. By the time the train arrived, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Yu Shan called a taxi, and without delay, went directly to Knox's office.

It was past the morning rush hour at nine o'clock in the morning, and the taxi was also stuck on the road for more than half an hour. By the time we got there, it was almost half past ten. Yu Shan remembered the joke told by the classmates who stayed in the capital. He lives on the edge of the Fifth Ring Road and drives to work, leaves at six o'clock in the morning, arrives at the company in the Third Ring Road on time at half past six, and then the boss fires him without hesitation - no one wants to hire a guy who only works half a month a month.

Knox was in an office building, and when he got there, Yu Shan saw Knox's office floor clearly on the first floor, and then took the elevator to the seventh floor. The Knox Capital branch is not located in a small location, not exaggerated to occupy an entire floor, but shares the entire seventh floor with a training facility.

Yu Shan arrived at the front desk, and the girl at the front desk greeted Yu Shan very politely, asking if Yu Shan had an appointment and what business he wanted to do. Yu Shan said that he didn't have an appointment, and he had an information business that he wanted to hand over to Knox.

The front desk picked up the phone to report, and after a while, a well-dressed woman swiped the door control and invited Yu Shan to come in and talk in detail. The woman was dressed in professional attire, with the name of Senior Counselor written on her badge, and her age was not evident from her face. The woman led Yu Shan to a reception room, thoughtfully poured a cup of coffee for Yu Shan, and smiled after sitting down face-to-face: "Mr. Yu, I don't know what industry you are engaged in?" ”

Yu Shan took a sip of coffee and said, "The question I want to consult has nothing to do with my own industry. ”

"Oh?" Yu Shan's answer surprised the consultant, she thought for a while and said, "Maybe you don't know the scope of our Knox business, I will introduce it to you now?" ”

"No need, I've done my homework before I came." After a pause, Yu Shan said, "That's why I chose you Knox." ”

"Then I don't know what project Mr. Yu wants to consult?"

Yu Shan put down the coffee cup and said straight to the point: "In addition to commercial spies, are there any real spies among Knox's employees?" ”

The woman smiled professionally and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yu, our Knox is a business consulting company......

Yu Shan waved his hand to interrupt the other party and said: "I don't know the scope of business after the split and acquisition by PricewaterhouseCoopers in 08, but before that, Knox's biggest customer was the U.S. government, I'm not wrong?" ”

"I'm sorry, I can't answer that question."

"You have to answer," Yu Shan looked at her and said, "because that's exactly what I want to ask." ”

The woman thought for a moment and asked, "Mr. Yu, can I ask what you want to consult?" ”

"I need to find out if Knox hired professional spies before '08, and the contact details of Knox's closest branch to China in '98. How much is this question, which has been more than a decade old, worth? ”

Seeing that Yu Shan was not joking, the woman got up and said, "I can't answer this question for the time being, you wait a minute, I'll ask for instructions." ”

Yu Shan made a gesture of please, watched the female counselor leave, and sat in the reception room by herself and drank coffee slowly.

After twenty minutes, a cup of coffee bottomed out, and the female counselor came back, accompanied by a middle-aged foreigner.

The old man looked very festive, and as soon as they met, he warmly came over to shake hands: "Mr. Yu, I heard that you are very interested in the history of our Knox, can I know why?" ”

Yu Shan noticed that the foreigner was always staring at his eyes, thought for a while and said, "It's just personal reasons, I don't want to lie, so let's not say it." ”

The female counselor introduced: "Mr. Yu, this is Max, the chief consultant of our Knox Beijing branch. ”

After shaking hands, Max said to the female counselor, "Judy, Mr. Yu can have me entertain you...... Oh, get us two more cups of coffee, and remember my one that doesn't let the milk go. ”

The female counselor agreed, quickly brought two cups of coffee, and then quietly quit. The door to the reception room closed, and Max spoke, "I must say, Mr. Yu, the question you need to ask is very tricky, and it involves some of our secrets in Knox......

Yu Shanle was happy: "Can I understand that you are raising the price?" After the split in '08, the secret Knox Allen has been listed in the United States. ”

Max shrugged: "That's true, but some non-disclosure agreements were still signed when it was split. An old employee like me, who has been working for more than ten years, has some words that cannot be revealed. After a pause, Max said, "Of course, if it is not so secret, and you can know the purpose of Mr. Yu, some questions can still be said. ”

Yu Shan looked at the foreigner who was full of Beijing films, and his heart was tired for a while. This foreigner is a big horse monkey, a monkey spirit, and he speaks without leaking, just like an old bureaucrat who has been immersed in officialdom for half his life.

"Well, if Mr. Yu is just to satisfy your personal curiosity, there are some questions I can answer. But no contract will be signed, and you will not be allowed to record it in any way. The conversation is limited to this meeting room, you ask a question, I will choose whether to answer or not depending on the difficulty of the question, and if I answer, I will give a quote. ”

"Reasonable."

"Before that, I have to make sure that you have any camera covert cameras, eavesdropping devices, etc."

Yu Shan said, "No problem. ”

Max said 'very good', got up and went out and came back, with an extra instrument in his hand, and checked around Yushan for a long time. After Yu Shan handed over his mobile phone, he checked it for a long time, Max put away the instrument, handed Yu Shan's mobile phone to the front desk at the door, and then sat opposite Yu Shan and said, "Okay, Mr. Yu, now you can ask questions." ”

"Before the break-up of Knox before '08, whether there were spy employees, it wasn't that kind of commercial espionage, but a spy in the real sense."

Max thought for a moment and said, "Thirty thousand." ”

"Renminbi?" Seeing Max nodding, Yu Shan said, "Deal." ”

Max smiled and said, "Yes." ”

Yu Shan began to frown, these 30,000 yuan is too easy to earn, right? Seeing this, Max took a sip of coffee and said: "Before the split, Knox's overall business was divided into two parts, one part was the business consulting you see now, of course, business consulting will also hire some commercial spies to collect and steal information; The other part is contracted from the U.S. government. As far as I know, the U.S. government outsourced 70 percent of its intelligence in '03, and Knox got the biggest piece of the pie. So, there is. ”

Yu Shan nodded, and then asked, "I need the contact information of the closest branch of Knox to Chinese mainland in 1998." ”

Max laughed, "It's a coincidence, I was just hired by Knox in 1998 and dumped in Asia that year. So I happen to know. This question does not involve confidentiality, twenty thousand. ”

"Deal."

"Before '97, Knox had a part in Hong Kong, but you know why, so after '97, Knox's Hong Kong branch merged with the Tokyo branch." Max paused, tore off a sticky note from the table, picked up a carbon pen and wrote an address and handed it over: "This is the address and contact information." ”

Yu Shan took the address and found that it was written in English. There is also a phone number left on it. After thinking about it, Yu Shan carefully folded the note and put it in his jacket pocket.

Yu Shan thought for a while and said, "The last question, if someone came to the door at that time and needed to hire a professional spy, would Knox take it?" ”

Mike couldn't stop laughing: "Mr. Yu, your question is very interesting, could it be that you mean that the people who hire spies want to harm the interests of the United States?" Or Japanese interests? ”

"No," Yu Shan said, "it's just private hiring." ”

"Oh, then I can't think of a reason why Knox wouldn't take on business. If anything, then there is only one--" Max leaned over and grinned, "-that guy didn't pay high enough." ”

Max leaned back in his chair and said, "I don't think you're a problem, so this one is free." ”

"Thank you." Yu Shan let out a long sigh of relief. He had already asked about it, and after thinking about it, Yu Shan said, "There is still a business." ”

Max made a gesture of please.

"I need the packaging style and manual of the 1998 Avistan, a sample or an electronic version."

Max frowned and said, "The customer's needs are our service requirements. I'll have someone look for it right away, and someone will evaluate the offer. So...... Mr. Yu, how do you plan to settle the bill? ”

Yu Shan first paid 50,000 yuan in cash, and then paid another 30,000 yuan in cash. When he left Knox, in addition to an extra note in his pocket, there was also a USB flash drive that stored the style of the outer packaging of Avidin in '98. For these two things, he paid 80,000 yuan. Yu Shan sighed in his heart, the consulting industry is almost like robbing money, as soon as his upper lip touched his lower lip, he took away 80,000 yuan in less than two hours. (To be continued.) )
