After returning home that night, Li Junhao told Li Xiaoyu the news and asked her to prepare for the evening and report to work with him tomorrow.

Li Xiaoyu is very happy about this, which means that she has a new identity and can protect herself and start working for the organization, instead of having to stay at home every day.

Xiaoyu and Xiaohu are also happy for her, and over this time, they have accepted the English teacher and treated her as family. Jackie and Nick congratulated her when they knew she was going to be their new colleague.

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

Just after dinner, He Dongming brought his wife to the door, and also brought a lot of gifts, nominally to thank him for the cotton yarn he provided, but without saying a few words, He Dongming offered to talk to him alone.

After the two went upstairs, Li Xiaoyu chatted with Lin Yuqing downstairs, they both had the experience of studying in the UK, they were the same age, and they had a lot of common topics, but they chatted very happily.

In the study upstairs, He Dongming was surprised when he saw the Chinese books on the shelves, and asked, it was really Li Junhao who read it himself, of course he didn't believe it, and he also took down a book of poetry to discuss it, and confirmed that he had indeed read it, and it could even be said that he had studied it, and he was greatly admired. He himself has studied English, and can barely understand and speak some common words, but it is absolutely impossible to read the original English books, and Pan Sen, an American, can do it, and he still reads ancient Chinese Chinese!

After sitting down, drinking the new tea brewed by Li Junhao and smoking the Cuban cigar brought by He Dongming, the two talked about another serious matter - about the intelligence market.

For example, the so-called underground intelligence market is not an official name, but because the intelligence personnel of some countries and forces spontaneously search for and exchange information in their hands out of their own needs, the initial transactions took place in some high-end hotels in the concession, and gradually formed some conventional rules, and the trading venues were gradually concentrated in foreign-funded hotels such as Huizhong Hotel, Chinachem Hotel, and Licha Hotel. This is more secure.

At present, the main trading venues are the Huizhong Hotel and the Chinachem Hotel located at the east exit of Nanjing Road, both of which are well-known in Shanghai and Haihai, and are often called the Peace Hotel together, with Huizhong as the South Building and Chinachem as the North Building.

Built in 1908, the Huizhong Hotel was the tallest building in Shanghai at that time and the first building to be equipped with an elevator. The building covers an area of 2,125 square meters, with a construction area of 11,607 square meters, a 6-storey brick and wood mixed structure, and a total height of 30 meters; There are 120 rooms, each with sanitary facilities.

Chinachem Hotel was built in 1929, also known as Sassoon Building, covering an area of 4,617 square meters, with a construction area of 36,317 square meters, 13 floors high and a height of 77 meters.

With 200 guest rooms, including rooms from nine countries, including China, Japan, India, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, the United States and the United Kingdom, Chinachem Hotel is unique in Shanghai and the Far East.

In the northeast corner of the lobby on the ground floor of the Chinachem Hotel, there is a hall with an upscale bar called "Horses and Hounds", with the best bartenders in Shanghai, which is now the most important place in intelligence trading.

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

Hearing He Dongming's introduction, Li Junhao felt that his knowledge had increased greatly, and it turned out that the real Peace Hotel was like this! In the film and television legends of later generations, no matter who enters, as long as they enter the Peace Hotel, they will be sheltered, I don't know if it is because there is an intelligence trading market?

"Pan Sen, with your identity, there is no problem going to the Chinachem Hotel, but no one dares to trade with you without an acquaintance to introduce and give assurance." He Dongming said.

Li Junhao is mentally prepared for this, after all, intelligence transactions have always been extremely sensitive matters, and most of the participants are intelligence personnel of various countries and various power groups, especially in the concession islands of Huhai, the capital of the East, where all kinds of spies and agents are active, and there are even hostile and violent groups such as Japanese puppet spies and Kuomintang military commanders who may draw their guns and start a war at any time, and danger is everywhere.

In this case, the survival of the intelligence market comes from the information needs of various forces, but there is no shortage of saboteurs joining it, and all participants, no one dares to guarantee that they will abide by the unspoken rules every time, and can only use various methods to protect themselves as much as possible; It is common practice to only trade with acquaintances or to have an acquaintance as a guarantee.

Li Junhao asked, "Dongming, is the person you are looking for directly involved in intelligence trading?" ”

He Dongming explained: "The person I know is just a broker, and what he can do is to introduce people who need to buy and sell intelligence to know each other in exchange for commissions, and he himself is not involved in trading." ”

"Well, you ask him to find a buyer who wants to buy the most important military intelligence in Europe, the quota is five, as long as he can let us meet in person, and every time the transaction is successful, I will give him a commission of one percent of the transaction amount." Li Junhao said.

"One percent?" He Dongming smiled bitterly and said, "It's too little, he, the broker, will charge at least ten percent ......."

"Each piece of information costs $100,000." Li Junhao said again.

"A hundred thousand dollars!?" He Dongming was stunned for a moment, what kind of intelligence is so expensive? Each sells for $100,000, and selling five is $500,000, even according to the bank's summary official price, it is 2.6 million fiat currency, and if you exchange it on the black market, you can easily exchange it for more than 3.5 million fiat currency. If you think about how much your family bought 7,000 pieces of cotton yarn and spent 2 million fiat currency, you can see how outrageous this price is!

"Yes, 100,000 dollars." Li Junhao nodded and said, "This information is very important, even if it can't be sold or five copies can't be sold, the price can't be reduced." ”

"Okay, I'll get the word on." He Dongming said, "However, Pan Sen, I think this matter is hanging, you better think about it, there shouldn't be anyone who has the courage to buy it." ”

"Dongming, I know what you mean, but I've already decided on this matter." Li Junhao said. "Moreover, the target customers of this intelligence are various countries in Europe, not individuals, and I believe that as long as the parties who buy the intelligence will feel that they have earned it!"

He Dongming didn't understand what he said, but he knew that Pan Sen had already decided on this matter, and as a friend, he only needed to help contact him, but when he heard that the target customers were European countries, his previous idea of wanting to know the content faded.
