Chapter 28: The Dilemma of the German Merchant

When leaving, Franco personally escorted them downstairs and promised that he would protect Lei Shizhu's safety in the detention center before a formal trial and conviction and that the gang members would not hurt him again—he valued the favor that Li Junhao had said.

After driving away, Li Junhao asked Brown to drive to Avenida da (Nanjing Road) to find a German foreign company named "Cestbon", while he thought about the detection results of smart glasses when he was patrolling the French Concession just now.

When he entered the police building, most of the light spots were gray unrelated personnel, but there were more than a dozen yellow points of light displayed on the second floor to the north of the main building, which made him a little surprised - could there be so many hostile people here? When he went upstairs, he asked, and Brown enthusiastically introduced the setting of the police department, which let him know that the location on the second floor north of the main building was where the infamous "Political Department" was located!

When he met Franco, the other party's point of light was also gray at first, but as Brown introduced and the two talked, the gangster turned light green, which let him know that the other party really wanted to be friends with him, not deception or perfunctory, which was actually very important; The same is true of the thunder pillars in the detention center, which are gray and then green, much darker than Franco's dots of light.

He is now studying the detection function of smart glasses, and finds that his judgment of surrounding people is still very strict, just like a group of colleagues in the Consulate General, including his bosses Sain and Hampley, and his subordinates Brown and Milia, are actually light gray! The only person with a green spot of light turned out to be the Consul General Nelson Ayers, whom he met in a hurry! There are a few figures with different shades of yellow light.

However, he has not yet fully figured out the specific category definition of the yellow point of light that represents the "hostile", and in particular, what kind of hostile factor it means, which needs to be clarified in future observations.

-----------------

Brown had a good knack for finding a place, and soon found Cestbon in the middle of the main road, and parked the car a little farther away according to Li Junhao's instructions.

Li Junhao originally wanted to go to the foreign bank to talk to the Jewish businessman in person, but the reminder of the smart glasses and his subsequent observation unexpectedly found that there were yellow hostile people inside and outside the foreign bank, and the number was as high as six, which aroused his vigilance - what kind of organization was in control? So many people are not what surveillance looks like.

The first thing that came to his mind was of course someone from the German government, after all, his mission was a Jew, and he was thinking of using information in exchange for his family's naturalization in the United States.

The car was parked 30 meters away, and Li Junhao asked Brown not to get out of the car, bought two newspapers from the mobile newspaper vendor at the car window, and then drove back to the consulate general, and the two did not get out of the car or show up the whole time.

During the whole process, although Brown did not understand what was happening, he behaved very professionally, neither raised unnecessary questions, nor hesitated to delay, and completely followed his instructions, and completed it naturally. Even after returning to the Consulate General, there were no superfluous problems, which made Li Junhao's evaluation of him a higher level.

-----------------

After returning to the office, Li Junhao did not tell Brown to keep it secret or anything, not that he didn't need to keep it secret, but to test Brown to see if he met the standards of a professional small secretary, which had a great impact on the way the two got along in the future.

When Milia saw them returning, she reported that there had been a phone call from Franklin Willis, an American businessman, who did not specify what it was, but left her phone number.

Sitting behind the desk, I took a sip of the coffee sent by Milia, pursed my lips, still felt bitter, and decided to put the work of preparing tea sets and tea leaves on the agenda. On the table was the information that Milia had prepared, which was Franklin Willis's file, and after briefly flipping through it, he picked up the phone and dialed it.

The bell rang only twice before it was picked up, and a voice with a California accent rang out, "Hey, I'm Franklin Willis, who is it?" ”

"Hello, Mr. Willis, I'm Ognyan Panson from the Commercial Section of the Consulate General." Li Junhao said.

"Hey! Hello, Mr. Pan Sen, I am a little short of time, I need to meet with you now, are you at the consulate now? Willis asked.

"Yes, I'm at the consulate, where are you?" Li Junhao said.

"Great, I'll be there ......in ten minutes," Willis said.

"OK, I'll wait for you." Li Junhao said. After putting down the phone, he called Brown and told him to go downstairs in five minutes to wait for Mr. Willis, and bring him to the office after receiving someone.

-----------------

Ten minutes later, Brown knocked on the door of a short white man about fifty years old and entered his office, "Boss, this is Mr. Franklin Willis." Mr. Willis, this is my boss......"

"Commercial Attaché, Ognyan Pansen." Li Junhao took the initiative to stretch out his hand.

"Hello Mr. Panson, I'm Franklin Willis, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Willis hurriedly took two steps forward, reached out with both hands to hold his hand, and said excitedly.

The two sat down inside and outside the desk, and after Milia brought coffee to the guests, she went out with Brown and closed the door.

"Mr. Panson, I am sorry to disturb your work because things have changed a little and I must come to see you at once...... "Willis said anxiously as soon as he sat down.

"Hey, Mr. Willis, calm down, drink some coffee, and speak slowly!" Li Junhao reassured him.

"Oh...... Thank you! Willis also felt that he was out of shape, and after thanking him, he took a sip of coffee, and the bitter taste of Malaysian coffee with a slightly sweet and sour fruity aroma made him feel very delicious and his mood calmed down.

Li Junhao didn't speak, waiting for him to continue to speak.

After a few minutes, Willis was noticeably calmer, and his voice was normal, "Mr. Panson, here's how it ......"

According to his description, Aaron Cooper, a German businessman, is of Jewish ethnicity, and has been doing business here in Shanghai for nearly 10 years, and his Cestbon foreign company has grown from small to large, and is currently regarded as a medium-to-upper scale foreign company in the concession, and its goods range from German machinery, electronic devices, chemical products, to small arms, medical drugs, and many categories, and its reputation is also very good, and it is very famous in the business circle.

In the past, one of the things that Cooper often lamented was that he left his homeland early and came to live in Asia with his family, avoiding the anti-Semitic storm at home, but in the past two or three years, more and more Jews have taken refuge in Shanghai, and he has also provided some support to his compatriots as much as he can, but he has been targeted by the German consulate in Shanghai......
