Chapter 18: Temporary Intentions
The next day, Guan Qianjiao was woken up before dawn, the sudden sound of tractors and diesel tricycles, pushed open the window, and looked from afar, animal trucks and agricultural vehicles on the street, walking in teams, asked at random, and the landlord's mother-in-law said: cash to pull salad cement, are busy going to work.
In this place, there is a construction project again?
This question came quickly, and it was solved quickly, she went downstairs to prepare for breakfast, and accidentally found the film crew who came here last night and those huge prop cars, and quickly judged that it was the crew that brought benefits to the town again. Sure enough, today's meal was very early, and when she came out, there were already a lot of men who had finished eating and jumped into the car and left, and Hao Laiyun, a celebrity in the town, was shouting at the top of his voice: One hundred and eighteen small workers, three hundred big workers, take care of the meal at noon, and go quickly.
What for?
The construction of carved forts and ramparts may be to meet the needs of war scenes, after all, in this era, shooting explosion scenes, I'm afraid it's only possible in this kind of place where birds don't. In other places, those telephone poles everywhere can rarely be used by the crew.
Sitting on the street stall position, Guan Qianjiao took out a tissue, carefully wiped the table and stool, and asked for a bowl of haggis to burn, but people looked around uneasily, the busy residents were in a hurry, and the crew who got up early walked curiously on the streets of this small town in Saibei, and occasionally there would be discordant scenes, one or two valuable off-road vehicles roared past, which must have carried the director or crew to see the venue first, these faces that are changing every day make it difficult for Guan Qianjiao.
Yes, that potential competitor cast a shadow over the trip.
If there were a team of business intelligence collectors like theirs in this town, who would it be, where would they hide, and how would they collect it?
Oh...... When a bowl of haggis with red pepper was placed in front of her, she was startled, but she immediately gave the little boss a shy smile, took the cake, broke it, and ate it slowly with the spicy and sweaty oil soup, but he was thinking about other things, and the three rammed goods didn't know if they got up.
Thinking of these three, she couldn't help but laugh, if other people heard this kind of unfavorable news, I am afraid they would have to worry, but the three of them were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, as if they couldn't do it without competition, the more they looked like this, the more Guan Qianjiao felt worried, after all, they were all new to the industry, and there must be a gap between them and those who specialize in collecting business intelligence.
That is the least consequence. If it is exposed, if the spying party finds out, and if the economic interests involved in it are threatened, then it is conceivable how this plagiarism will be resolved.
"Hey!"
Someone yelled in her ear, so frightened that Guan Qianjiao almost deducted the bowl, and when she turned around, it was Bao Xiaosan, she rolled her eyes and ignored the goods.
"Wow, Jiao has become so fierce. Bao Xiaosan grinned and said, she sighed at Guan Qianjiao who ate the bowl of spicy haggis indifferently, Guan Qianjiao looked at Qiu Di and Geng Baolei in the distance, she asked casually: "Have you eaten?"
"We ate early. Bao Xiaosan said, sat down next to Guan Qianjiao, approached, looked at the time and added: "We got up early and walked around the town." β
"You don't have to go to work?" asked Guan Qianjiao.
"The car hasn't come yet. "Bao Xiaosandao.
There is a pair of people who don't have a partner, Guan Qianjiao finished eating hastily, and when she got up, Bao Xiaosan had already rushed to pay, she smiled, her eyelids raised to look at Bao Xiaosan's stupid and happy appearance, but Bao Xiaosan hooked her fingers like a thief, and whispered to her a few steps away: "We got up early in the morning and went to find that spy." β
"Did you find it in the morning?" Guan Qianjiao cried and laughed, if she could find it, could she still be a spy?
"Nope. Bao Xiaosan's stupid expression gave an unsurprising answer.
walked up to Geng Baolei and Qiu Di, she asked the crew casually, Geng Baolei said, it should be an anti-Japanese drama, look at the equipment of the Japanese army, the scale is not small, tanks and armor are used, Hao Laiyun has begun to recruit group actors. Guan Qianjiao reminded everyone that we may have missed one item, such a temporary large-scale crew came to Garrison Town, and the additional economic benefits brought by scene layout, diet, and group performances should be considerable.
She was explaining that this piece should be included in the next collection scope, Bao Xiaosan found a new stimulus, dragged Qiu Di and Geng Baolei, signaled to look at the direction of the hotel, and a few urban tide girls came out, just came out, stood at the door of the hotel for a while, and were frozen back.
The temperature difference between day and night in this place is large, it is estimated that I went back to add clothes, and the beautiful legs that appeared made Bao Xiaosan swallow his saliva, and asked Qiu Di and Geng Baolei curiously: "Is this kind of girl who wants to be raped and killed by devils in the movie?"
Qiu Di smiled and gave a thumbs up: "It's so imaginative, it must be." β
"You two are talking nonsense, there must be a female number one in there, can the script do that? Geng Baolei said.
"You're just talking nonsense, I also said last night that if you want to get on the throne, you have to sleep with you first, and the box office is over 100 million, all relying on meat drama. Bao Xiaosan was fiddling with the newly learned things, Geng Baolei couldn't listen to it anymore, and corrected: "Hao Laiyun is an acting agent, or a group acting agent, what does he know." β
"As if you know, people can organize people and make money, that's the ability, and the serious 800 actors don't earn as much as him. "Bao Xiaosandao.
This is true, the most profitable thing in this film and television base is probably not film and television, but box lunches; the people in this film and television base are probably not the actors who make the most money, but the intermediaries who organize the actors. The three are arguing, but they all belong to the masters who don't watch domestic dramas, arguing and arguing, and when it comes to the Japanese devil modern art film, hey, I found common ground, and I like to watch it.
"Stop!" Guan Qianjiao, who was following behind, shouted, and the three of them closed their voices in unison, and immediately changed the topic.
"Qiu Di, what are you going to do?" Guan Qianjiao asked, Qiu Di was stunned, and immediately understood what Guan Qianjiao was referring to, he leaned closer, lowered his voice and said: "I want to do this, what should we do, let's continue to do it, just pay more attention and be careful, of course, the best way is to find people." β
"How to find it, if the other party is a professional, he may be more careful than us. Guan Qianjiao said.
"Not necessarily, I think there are traces. Qiu Di said.
"Tell me about it. Guan Qianjiao asked curiously.
"I'll come, I'll ......" Bao Xiaosan hurriedly said: "Brother Qiu said, he can't hold a shovel when he plays with the mouse, he can secretly take pictures and analyze, he can't carry white flour rice, he can sell intelligence, he may not be able to sell lunch boxes......"
After explaining for a long time, Guan Qianjiao asked in a fog: "What do you mean?"
yes, Bao Xiaosan couldn't explain clearly, so he pulled the flute: "Yes, it's better for you to come." β
Qiu Di smiled and said an elimination. If you gather intelligence here, you will definitely stay for no time. If he wants to collect information about Zong Pengcheng, then he must pay special attention to the hotel in front of him, and Zong Pengcheng does not come often, so it is very likely that a fixed monitoring point will be set up.
As he spoke, he pointed to the group of houses opposite the hotel, many of which were rental houses, which suddenly made Guan Qianjiao's eyes light up.
Also, Qiu Di explained that if you want to know more clearly, then the other party must try to understand the income and expenditure of the catering and understand this situation in detail, if you don't go to the catering department to carry rice, then there are only two possibilities: secretly photographing the food truck or contacting the staff in the catering department.
"I understand that if you secretly photograph the food truck, calculate the daily incoming and outgoing volume, it is also possible to set up a monitoring point nearby, which coincides with the previous one. Guan Qianjiao said.
"Yes, it's hard to dissolve into this place, can't they also have the bones of San'er and Qiu Di to blend into the porter's team? Geng Baolei said.
Guan Qianjiao's heart was light, she looked at the terrain, and instantly had an idea, without saying a word, she hurriedly returned.
The three of them looked back, the petite and delicate sister Guan gave people the feeling that it was becoming more and more eccentric, Geng Baolei smiled and said: "She is very devoted." β
"You're so engrossed, you're drooling when you see it, and you want to insert it. Bao Xiaosan covered Geng Baolei's eyes, and Geng Baolei was so angry that he glanced at him fiercely, and Qiu Disheng was amused.
At this time, I heard the roar of the boss of Ma Kaihuang from a distance: What about standing up for a corpse? Come and work.
The three of them hurriedly quickened their pace and ran towards the compound of the catering department, and soon the rumbling of cars approached, and the busy day began again.
....................................
....................................
An hour later, Guan Qianjiao appeared on the street of the Cinema Hotel, and the idea of a flash of inspiration was that if you could walk through the hundreds of houses opposite the hotel, or look at them one by one, maybe you would find it, after all, there are not many long-term residents here, and the rent is charged on a daily basis.
But standing here, she realized that she was too naΓ―ve, how to knock on someone's door, how to get in, what to say, it's all a problem, don't find the other party, if the other party sees through it first, you will regret it.
After hesitating for a long time, not thinking of a safe way to disguise, she gave up.
Two hours later, she arrived in the north of the village, the unfinished building of Huaxin Resort, this garbage surrounded by thieves, easy to enter, did not alarm the tattered mother with children, she found more than one entrance and exit can enter here, at this time she was a little excited, she judged, candid photography can not avoid remote framing, take a panoramic view, if you want to do this, the commanding heights of the north of the village is the best choice.
Starting from the third floor, she carefully looked at the construction waste, suspected human tracks, carefully searched, and on the top floor, when she finally saw a few cigarette butts, she smiled when she stood in this place.
The cigarette butt with unburned embers is a Xiaojinqiao brand, there is no such cigarette in the local area, and in the position where she stands, the straight line is no more than three kilometers away from the studio hotel, just enough to have an unobstructed view of the center of Tunbing Town.
She was sure that someone had already done it, and that she had been here for a long time and a lot of time.
But the ensuing questions made her frown, who is it?
In this small town with a floating population of tens of thousands, crews, actors, and tourists from all over the world are changing like a lamplight, how can you find this person?
This question haunted her, she had been sitting on the top floor and thinking about it, but the result was still hovering between what could and what didn't, if there was another group, if the contractor entrusted not only Harman, then the other party must have come at the same time as them, that is, they had been here for nearly three weeks, this kind of person should be easy to find, but it would be difficult to find out quietly and unnoticed.
What to do?
She thought in a state of sorrow, until the third pole of the day, until this afternoon, until the dining car traveled and returned, she was still observing, the peer hidden in the shadows, at this time, will also be spying.
She stretched the monocular telescope, pointed in the direction of the hotel again, saw quite clearly, almost could distinguish the faces of pedestrians, but did not see anything valuable, but found that Qiu Di, Bao Xiaosan, Geng Baolei thieves slipped out of the courtyard of the catering department, she was shocked, save these three people to go out of the moth again, quickly follow their whereabouts, not long, the three people carrying bags, moving boxes, carrying baskets, came out of the small supermarket near the left side of the hotel, and saw that they got into the alley of the house.
"Wow!? I'm dumber than a pig. β
Guan Qianjiao realized what they were going to do in an instant, slapped her forehead, walked downstairs quickly, and ran back to the town............
..........................................
..........................................
"Auntie...... Anyone?"
"Anyone?"
Qiu Di probed his brain, Bao Xiaosan thief's head thief brain, shouted at the gate of the courtyard, blinked and lifted the curtain to come out of a fat aunt with a sandy face, looking at the person who came and shouting: "What are you doing?"
"How many families have you rented here?" Qiu Di asked.
"You have rented a few houses from the Russian family. What are you doing?" the aunt didn't cooperate.
"Sell something to Aunt Ma's house in the supermarket. Qiu Di approached, holding a box of ham sausages, instant noodle drinks, etc., and Bao Xiaosan came up and explained: "Some are about to expire." β
Geng Baolei also came up and said: "There are outsiders who just came, sell them some." β
"You babies, how can you do this?" Aunt Mazi pointed at them and gritted her teeth, selling expired food, which is like the style of Ma Fatzi's family.
But the words were immediately interrupted, interrupted by two bags of crispy noodles, and Bao Xiaosan stuffed it into his aunt's hand: "Auntie, this is not expired, give it to the baby...... Help, let's work for Boss Ma, we have to sell something. β
"Ah, it doesn't matter if you can't sell it. Aunt Mazi simply put together two bags of noodles, the moral bottom line collapsed instantly, and Le Zizi returned to the house.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiu Di hurriedly asked, "Auntie, how many houses do you live in, when did you come?"
"They all came yesterday. Aunt Mazi said casually and opened the curtain and went in.
Hey, the three of them were dumbfounded, the situation was asked, but it was not the situation that the three of them wanted, and after a while, they went out, and Bao Xiaosan scolded stupidly: Nima, I lost two bags of crispy noodles, a few dollars.
One is over, the next one, the mother-in-law in the village is easy to deal with, a bottle of drink, a bag of instant noodles, basically done, the three of them are all hotel chefs, under the banner of horse reclamation, no one really doubts, but even go to more than a dozen, things are about to be lost, just didn't ask, in this area to rent a house for three weeks to live people.
"Hey...... Come here... Come here......"
Guan Qianjiao chased after her at the mouth of the alley, the three of them returned, and the four heads were together, Guan Qianjiao asked: "Do you want to use door-to-door sales to contact the tenants?"
"That's right. Qiu Di nodded.
"It's a good idea, try to shoot it as much as possible. Guan Qianjiao reminded that Geng Baolei lit up the watch on his wrist, which was the equipment that had been matched, and took a picture as soon as he pressed the contact on the side of the watch.
But some people were not happy, Bao Xiaosan said: "What a fart, I'm about to lose a basket of things, we bought them ourselves." β
"As long as I can find it, the money is mine...... I'm going to buy something again. Guan Qianjiao joined excitedly.
continued to "sell", and after a while, Guan Qianjiao came back with a drink and put it on the shoulders of several people.
Another family, knocking on the door of the house, a bearded man stood at the door, looking at the three of them vigilantly, looking 100% like a bad person.
"Brother, do you want to drink ham sausage instant noodles, provide them at a preferential price, and deliver them to your door. "Bao Xiaosandao.
"There's a commissary, don't you want to kill people?" How much does Sprite cost?" the man asked casually, probably having been cheated by the prices in this place.
"Eight pieces. Qiu Di said, giving a price that he was not ready to sell.
"Don't. The man turned around to close the door.
"Hey, wait...... Brother, there are good things, the specialty of this place, epimedium weed, a plant-based aphrodisiac, is better than Viagra. Qiu Di took a small half bottle, and made the rest of it last time, and mixed it with some water, the man glared at Qiu Di a few times, and reprimanded: "Miss Ma is not here in this place, why are you strong and yang." β
As he spoke, he closed the door with a bang, but when he turned around, he also saw that it was a sketcher, and there was a pile of oil paintings in the room, and a large easel was erected.
In the next "sales", an uncle behind the ear in the family, a cigarette was caught behind the ear, and he successfully entered the ......
In the next house, there were two and a half little children left at home, and the brothers only gave a bottle of drink to convince them, and before they went upstairs, the two brothers had already started a fight because of a bottle of drink......
The next one, the door was locked, no one expected Bao Xiaosan to be powerful, a thin wire stabbed the broken lock open, and the windows of the three of them shone on the interior of several rented rooms, and hurriedly slipped away, Bao Xiaosan locked the broken lock again, and locked it as it was, Qiu Di was not surprised, but Geng Baolei had another layer of understanding of the ability that Bao Xiaosan, who was born in the tattered king, might have.
The next one......
The four people are like tireless Lei Feng, who sent out the things they bought with money, and they had to work in the afternoon, worked for a few hours, and came back to continue, until the sky was full of stars, and then several people were stunned to find that the only effect was to help the fat wife of the small supermarket "sell" a lot of expired food.
Of course, there is still a harvest, but for a few people who know the grass with a bull's eye, I really can't tell what the harvest is, gather at the Sichuan hot pot restaurant to eat at night, Guan Qianjiao took the extracted photos to everyone to see, this idea is not wonderful, and it really digs up the guests who live in the houses around the cinema hotel, a painter and his assistant, two long-term residents who buy tatters, and representatives of three toy factories, specializing in the design of various props and costumes...... By the way, there are a few fruit sellers and fur collectors who have also been here for a long time.
The number of people is really small, if you judge the time of entry, it seems that it should be like this, and it seems that you should be able to find some clues in this group of people, but a few people looked at it and were dumbfounded.
"I don't look like it, huh?" said Bao Xiaosan.
"How do I look like it?" said Geng Baolei.
Guan Qianjiao laughed, with two good-looking dimples on her face, Qiu Di scratched her head a little embarrassed and said: "Let me think about it again, this kind of person is really hard to find, the so-called business spy is actually almost like a part-time job, right? It's really hard to judge, as a painter, selling fruits, and making props, you can do this part-time job, tsk." β
Stumped, without obvious features, who can know what the spy looks like?
"In the morning, I bragged that it was easy to find, take a look. Dumbfounded, right?" Bao Xiaosan scolded Qiu Di while munching on boiled mutton, the money was in place, and the lives of several people were rising.
"You can't blame the Flute. Guan Qianjiao grabbed the meat and said with a smile: "As long as the other party knows that we are here, he has no way to find it, who would have thought that you are mixed in the porter and group performance team?"
"Qianjiao, then you say, how dangerous is this opponent's storage?" Geng Baolei asked worriedly.
"He's not dangerous, it's the side that's dangerous. Qiu Di said, and the chopsticks pointed in the direction of the Cinema Hotel, which made Guan Qianjiao nod yes.
That's right, if there is a mistake and let the group of commercial bandits of Pengcheng Commerce and Trade catch it, it will not be solved by a beating. Geng Baolei thought for a while, and said to himself: "It's not so strict, right? Don't scare me." β
Bao Xiaosan, Qiu Di slowed down the speed of the chopsticks, smiled and told everyone the story he had experienced, the earliest he worked in a lighting equipment branch, because of debt disputes by another annex, the receiver knows how to receive?
Qiu Di said, look at my brother's bones, it's no problem to fight two or three, but I don't dare to say anything if I don't be honest, and I don't dare to ask for a monthly salary.
This story made Geng Baolei's back itch, and he moved his seat uncomfortably, Bao Xiaosan didn't care if he had experienced a lot, and said that it was a good idea, on the express delivery we did, it would be uncomfortable if there was no fight for three days, there were seven or eight express companies in a district, and whoever received the goods would make money, and if he couldn't collect the goods, he not only didn't earn, but also had to lose money, and that was not desperate. If you don't have a hard breath, you can't hold the field, and those who collect the rags dare to bully you.
"Hey, I'm off topic, let's talk about what to do next, because I'm hanging in the air today. Geng Baolei stopped the conversation.
"I've already told you how to do it, but you don't understand?" Qiu Di said.
"When did you say that?" Guan Qianjiao was stunned, but the little girl Bing Xue was smart and reacted suddenly, and said in surprise: "You mean, borrowing a knife to kill people." β
"That's right, we're weak, but Pengcheng's gang of bandits is powerful, if you know who touched his cake, then you can't kill it?" Qiu Di had a strange expression, and said with a smile, Bao Xiaosan couldn't understand it, chewed and ate in his mouth, and asked in a daze: "But I don't know who it is, who is it for?"
"The problem is known by whom, what can you do?" Qiu Di asked.
That's right, knowing that there are competitors, you can only look at people and sigh, and make rash moves, not even yourself will be exposed.
This is really a sentence that woke up the person in the dream, Guan Qianjiao suddenly opened her mouth when she heard it, and suddenly Lingling's big eyes stared at Qiu Di, waiting for his next words.
"Qianjiao found out that he had been to the unfinished building of Huaxin Resort, we checked so many long-term residents, I want to find out that he is really not difficult, how to deal with the real rarity, of course, the best way is to get rid of him, save us from mixing up our business, so this matter, we must use external forces, otherwise just a few pieces of our materials, it is not enough. Qiu Di said.
"Be detailed. Guan Qianjiao urged.
"The opportunity is right in front of you, this war drama is going to be filmed here, a large crew of more than 200 people, tens of thousands of dollars a day just for eating, drinking and Lazar, I heard today that there will be aerial filming, in the eyes of others it is filming, but in the eyes of businessmen, this is profit, on-site construction, catering, group performances, how much income can it bring to Tunbing Town, even we are very interested, don't you want to know?" Qiu Di asked.
"I see. Geng Baolei said: "This person will definitely try to take a secret photo in the near future." β
"If you have been to Huaxin's unfinished building, been to the location, and spent the same time here as ours, it will be simple. There are many coincidences, and he himself is going to show his tail. Guan Qianjiao's face slowly appeared happy.
"It's so easy to gather business intelligence, he must be starting to take it lightly. Qiu Di agreed, he and Guan Qianjiao seemed to have a heart, when Guan Qianjiao asked tentatively: "Where to start." β
The eyes of the two invariably stared at Bao Xiaosan.
Geng Baolei seemed to understand something, and couldn't help laughing.
After the meal, several people were not idle, Guan Qianjiao and Hu Yanhong of the hotel got acquainted with each other in the morning, and occasionally helped when there were many customers, today Guan Qianjiao was very attentive and wrote a good-looking menu for Hu Yanhong, and Hu Yanhong applauded again and again. Qianjiao seems to have a lot of fun talking today, chatting with Hu Yanhong while cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks and wiping the table, like a pair of little sisters.
Bao Xiaosan, Geng Baolei, and Qiu Di took advantage of the night to quietly touch the unfinished building in Huaxin Resort, Bao Xiaosan was responsible for arguing with his fellow villagers, but Qiu Di and Geng Baolei were like thieves, knowing that Suo Suo had been busy for a long time, and quietly retreated under the cover of night............
