After dark

This suburban town called Wangjiaji quickly cooled down from the hustle and bustle of the evening, with kerosene lamps lit up in every house, shops closed, and people on both sides of the road empty, except for a few figures.

Wei Pengfei ate and drank enough to go out for a walk, and consumed food by the way.

Wangjiaji is a suburban town formed along this asphalt road, and the town's buildings are lined up along the road, and after a short walk along the path, you will get on the main road in the center of the town.

He paused when he walked here, and looked back carefully, and the path he had just passed was dark and quiet, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Wei Pengfei walked forward along the road and took a leisurely walk.

His move lifted the spirit of Fan Wenshan, who was hidden in the shadows behind him, and a sharp light appeared in his eyes.

He knew that ordinary people would not be so careful, unless there was a ghost in their hearts.

At night, the town is sparsely populated, only restaurants and restaurants, hostel prostitutes are brightly lit, a Fuso prostitute opened by a Fuso people hangs white paper lanterns at the door, and Fuso women in kimonos and wooden sandals nod at the door to greet guests.

These Nanyang sisters are commonplace in Queensland and are the main force of the Qinglou prostitution.

Wei Pengfei pretended to walk in this direction, looked left and right near the Fusang prostitute, turned into the path, and continued to walk more than 20 steps before coming to a door, which was the side door of the prostitute, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Which one is it?"

"It's me."

"Oh......"

The wooden door then opened, and a short and fat Fusang man saw Wei Pengfei, and bowed with a smile on his face; "Welcome Wei Sang, please come in."

Wei Pengfei looked familiar with this place, he nodded, and walked in without saying a word, the Fusang man stretched out his head and looked left and right at the door, and closed the door casually.

After entering the room

Wei Pengfei took out a few thin pieces of paper from his body and handed them over, and the Fusang man hurriedly took it in his hand and read it hastily, frowned slightly and said; "Wei Sang, this news is not of much value, huh?"

"Ichiro Yamamoto, how much value do you want for such a stingy shot?"

"Wei Sang said with a smile, for really valuable information, we have always been stingy to buy it, you are the secretary of the center, there must be no shortage of intelligence sources, please bother more"

"I can't say that, I have provided you with all the information about the internal organization of the Secretariat and the establishment of the Nine Divisions, and you also know that the 7th Department of the Secretariat where I am located is a Qingshui Yamen, and I can't access important documents."

"Wei Sang, we attach great importance to your channels, even some internal public documents are very valuable to us, such as the information that you have put into production of cashmere textile equipment, and we would like to know more details......

"No kidding, it's impossible." Wei Pengfei was full of color.

Public information display

In 1887, Suzaku City put into production a complete set of cashmere textile equipment, providing a steady stream of high-end cashmere products for European and American societies, and earning extremely rich profits.

The cashmere that was originally wasted in wool weaving is now separated, which is equivalent to a large amount of huge profits.

Cashmere products are not a new concept, as early as the 15th century, cashmere was discovered by craftsmen in Kashmir, who stripped these soft fibres from wool to make beautiful shawls.

The cashmere shawl is beautiful and soft and creamy, which has aroused the fanatical pursuit of the upper class society in Europe and the United States, and because the number of handmade production is very small, the price has become very expensive, and people call this high-end fabric by the place name cashmere.

For more than 300 years

Kashmir's highly skilled artisans have been using traditional techniques to make cashmere shawls, which are time-consuming, labor-intensive, and scarce, and are worth more than the same weight of gold.

Queensland research and development of cashmere textile equipment, innovative invention of patented technology, improve the cashmere carding method, so that the fine cashmere hair from the rough hair separation, cashmere purity greatly improved, can be industrialized large-scale production, which is the first in the world.

This patented technology is only secretly filed in Queensland, and it is strictly sealed from all countries in the world, and outsiders have no way of knowing the technical details, so there is no imitation.

Red Fort naturally knows the value of cashmere textile technology, the wool textile industry is the foundation of Australia's foothold in the world market, and the cashmere complete set of textile technology is the crown jewel.

Therefore, the "Edelweiss Woolen Mill" was established in Suzaku City, which is a separate factory located in the valley basin, like a small town isolated from the world, and strict confidentiality measures are implemented, and the slightest leakage of technical information is strictly prohibited.

In addition to the 8 words "cashmere textile equipment", any other information about cashmere textile equipment is highly confidential, and those in the know will lose their heads if they leak a little.

Not to mention that Wei Pengfei can't access such confidential information, even if he can, he doesn't dare to sell it.

Ichiro Yamamoto smiled disappreciatively, raised his hand and said with a humble expression; "Please sit down, Wei Sang, I am talking about the possibility of deepening cooperation, please rest assured, we will spend a lot of money to buy important information, hundreds or thousands of pounds are possible, this is our sincerity, please accept ......"

He pulled out a stack of large bills, in denominations of £5, and pushed them down the table.

Seeing this thin stack of money, Wei Pengfei's eyes lit up, and his expression immediately eased, and he reached out to take the stack of banknotes and put them in his pocket, and said; "Thank you, Mr. Ichiro Mihon."

Seeing that the other party smiled, Mihonichiro's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and then showed a warm smile.

The thin sheets of paper just now weren't worth £5 at all, not even a pound.

So much money

It takes more than a dozen girls in the prostitute to be by the guests from morning to night all day, and he takes it out like this, and his heart aches faintly.

The reason why Ichiro Yamamoto showed such generosity was to show sincerity.

In the eyes of Fusang people, Wei Pengfei's channel is not as unimportant as he said, but very valuable, and it is worth spending a lot of effort and more money to maintain.

A few days ago

Wei Pengfei provided a piece of information that attracted great attention from the top, that is, the internal information of the Secretariat showed that cotton cultivation would be vigorously developed in the African colony of Mozambique.

It meant that Queensland was trying to get rid of its heavy dependence on cheap woven cotton cloth from the United Kingdom, and build a cotton textile industry that was sufficient to meet its own needs and even export.

Does Queensland have the capacity?

The answer is self-explanatory.

The average annual precipitation in the Mozambique plateau is about 500~1000 mm, with a large area of fertile land suitable for planting cotton, and after the migration of a large number of Chinese immigrants, it has all the conditions for the development of cotton industry.

With raw materials, then mature textile machinery is not a problem.

With a combined population of more than 20 million people, the Queensland Territory and the Southern Autonomous State of Australia are a huge internal market that can support 100,000 cotton weavers and provide livelihoods for millions of cotton farmers.

With the addition of transportation, warehousing, sales and dyeing and garment industries, more jobs can be created.

Now the question is, is this originally a dumping market in the UK, but also a market that can make large profits, willing to give it to a new competitor?

Just this simple piece of information can reveal so much content, which shows that the value of the internal channels of the Secretariat is far higher than Wei Pengfei's own imagination.

It's interesting to think about it, but what kind of ripple effects would it have if this information were revealed to British businessmen?

The cotton textile industry is the highlight of the British textile industry, with millions of related employees, accounting for more than eighty percent of the market share of the domestic light industry, and is an important product dumped in the world market, which is related to the vital interests of Britain.

In order to have more cotton producing areas, Britain even sent troops to occupy Egypt despite the strong opposition of France, and Egypt is now an important source of cotton raw materials for Britain, second only to India.

Will the sensitive Brit happily agree to the entry of the new player Queensland?

This is a very interesting proposition, if you need to, you can completely grasp the Red Keep at a critical time, this is the value of a simple piece of information.

If Wei Pengfei hadn't leaked it out in advance, he wouldn't have been able to see it in the outside world at all.

Every piece of information is time-sensitive, and its value is huge now, and it may not be worth a penny after a while.

The Red Fort's plan to promote cotton cultivation on a large scale in Mozambique has undoubtedly seriously hurt British interests, and if London had known about it in advance, it would have exerted pressure on the Red Fort to abandon the plan.

Now London has such strength and such means.

Ichiro Yamamoto's possession of this important information is useless to Fuso, but it does not mean that it has no value, the British are very willing to pay a lot of money to buy it, and the Red Fort is also willing to pay a lot of money to make this news stillborn.

Once the large-scale promotion of cotton planting is successfully implemented, cotton textile mills are established, and the wood is completed, the value of this information is equal to zero.

Due to the backwardness of information transmission in the African colonies, London was limited in what it could do when it knew about it, and if it didn't want to really start a war, it could only pinch its nose and admit it.

At most, pressure was exerted to get the Red Fort to back down and keep it within a certain capacity and not to expand the cotton planting area, lest Britain lose more cotton textile markets.

"Wei Sang, if you can get any information about the cashmere complete textile equipment, we are really willing to pay a lot of money to buy it, uh...... Starting at £200. Ichiro Yamamoto stretched out two fingers, and his heart was dripping blood.

With so much money, more than a dozen Fusang girls had to be worked hard by prostitutes for a month.

As a brothel owner and intelligence dealer, Ichiro Yamamoto is accustomed to measuring it by Fuso girls, and the reason why he has lost his blood is because in the Australian underground intelligence market, some people have already offered sky-high prices to buy this kind of information, starting at more than 2,000 pounds.

Compared to the £200 he paid, he was able to make a lot of money as an intermediary intelligence broker.

There are many buyers for this kind of high-end intelligence, and Yamada Ichiro can repeatedly sell it to many people, such as English, Scottish, Italians, French......

"Uh...... I can't guarantee it, so I'll try to keep an eye on it. Stimulated by a huge amount of money, Wei Pengfei was obviously moved.

£200 meant being able to buy an apartment in the Red River Valley, and he was already in a frenzied pursuit of money.

"Hehehe...... I await your good news. ”

"Okay, don't talk about these headaches, is Miss Mie Hayase here? This time I hope that Miss Hayase can accompany me. ”

"Of course there is no problem, the beautiful Miss Hayase is waiting for your presence at any time, I will arrange it for you, Wei Sang, please wait a moment."

Ichiro Yamamoto bowed politely on the surface, and in his heart he had already scolded this money-loving and lust-loving bastard for a bloody head, and the girls in the brothel were all played by him, but he was stingy and never paid, let alone tipped, did he really regard himself as the king here?
