Chapter 570 Gives Too Much
Listening to Ikuta Takashi's words, Lao Dou frowned. This person exposed his true identity in this way, could he be testing himself, did he see that everything that happened today was just acting?
With the professionalism shown by the other party, this may be very small, and Takashi Ikuta's financial situation is indeed not very good, even tracking is embezzled funds, so it is not surprising to see money.

Quickly making a judgment in his mind, he said in an uncertain tone: "My friend, this kind of joke is not easy to take. Mr. Hase is the head of the special advanced course, and he has a high status in the Japanese Consulate in Shanghai.

You said that you can get documents with a higher degree of confidentiality, which is really unconvincing. If this is the case, let alone [-] yuan, [-] yuan is nothing, and some buyers are willing to pay. "

"One hundred thousand?"

Ikuta Takashi's breathing became heavy, the hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and his voice changed: "Don't try to lie to me, some information is only useful to the fruit party and the underground party, and they have no funds to buy information."

One hundred thousand oceans is an astronomical figure in this era. You can buy hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, hundreds of cattle, or invite ten people to eat hundreds of high-end banquets with shark fins and abalones.

He didn't expect so much money to be exchanged for a few flimsy documents, and he hoped that all of this was true. These words were not so much a question, but a business consultation.

After hearing this, Lao Dou patiently explained: "There is no useless information, there is some information that you don't need and can be bought and exchanged, and anything can only generate corresponding value if it is circulated.

What's more, your country, Guo Party, underground party, warlords in various places, Red Russia, Germany, the United States and other forces need to use the intelligence of opponents or opponents' opponents to analyze and judge problems. "

This principle is easy to understand. Takashi Ikuta understood after thinking about it. Intelligence is a hard currency that is harder than the big yellow croaker. Now the opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of him, and it depends on whether he can seize it.

The problem is that due to the concealment and high risk of intelligence transactions, it is difficult for strangers to join this business. It is impossible to set up a booth outside the consulates of several countries and ask people if they want information.

Realizing this, he pointed the muzzle of the gun forward, and threatened with a stern voice: "If you hand over the contact information of the transaction partner, I will spare your life, or I will kill you directly."

"Hehe, I've been in Shanghai for so many years, and I haven't been planted as a lotus until now. It's not because I have connections and backgrounds, but because I know what to do and what not to do."

Lao Dou chuckled, turned around and looked at the other party: "If I say what you want to know, it means that it is useless, and that is really inevitable, so don't treat me as rigid.

If you want to enter this industry, you can, but I must be the middleman. I only charge you [-]% of the commission. All the risks and work are left to me. You just wait behind the scenes to collect the money. "

Having said that, he stretched out his hand and moved the muzzle of the gun aside, took a step forward, and said in a word: "Otherwise, we will break up in two, and I won't get paid if you kill me. I will give you a minute to think about it."

idiot.

This is who is coercing whom.

Ikuta Takashi immediately flew into a rage, wishing to kill this arrogant guy with a single shot, but thinking about the white flowered ocean, he forcibly held his breath back, and said with a sneer.

"You said cooperation, how do I know that you are not delaying time, how do you guarantee this, if you can't tell the reason, it doesn't matter if you don't make money, you are not the only broker in Shanghai."

As he said that, he lightly weighed the southern pistol in his hand. The meaning of warning and threat was very clear.

"I can't guarantee that."

Laodou shook his head, and before Ikuta Longxi turned his face, he said leisurely: "If I write you a letter of guarantee, will you believe me, or find a middleman as a guarantee and publish a notice in the newspaper?

This industry is very special, credit is worthless, and what everyone pursues is money. Since you can bring me banknotes, why should I have trouble with money? Is this the reason? "

He didn't say anything about swearing, because the other party would not believe it. If he wanted to deceive a semi-professional intelligence officer, he could only start with an open and honest attitude and start with the benefits of reality.

Over there, Takashi Ikuta had a dark face, and found that the situation seemed to be true. Intelligence transactions were originally a secret business, and ordinary business rules did not apply. He really had nothing to do with this person.

The son-in-law took a deep breath, and silently said in his heart that a man can bend and stretch. The next moment he had a kind smile on his face, put the pistol into the holster on his waist, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know the name of the gentleman, but how the two parties should cooperate, please give me your advice. I can provide what Hase Ryosuke can provide, and I can provide what he cannot provide."

A trace of doubt flashed in Lao Dou's eyes at the right time, "My name is Lao Dou, and I have a somewhat poor reputation in Shanghai's intelligence circles. I'm sorry for your stupid eyes, but I don't know what your position in the Japanese Consulate is?

The world is very chaotic these days. There are too many scammers to guard against. I have been cheated several times. Please forgive me if I offend you. As a show of sincerity, I will not charge you anything for the first cooperation. "

"Ha ha."

Ikuta Takashi sneered, and told a stranger his real name. He was not a fool, and before he saw the real money, he couldn't believe it no matter how nicely he said it.

So he smiled proudly and raised his head slightly: "You don't have to worry about who I am, just tell me what information you need, we will pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, which is good for both parties."

The old man suppressed his beating heart, thought for a while and pretended to be embarrassed: "Also, your foreign minister Koki Hirota recently had a friendly talk with China, and the British people are very interested in the content of the speech.

The other party wants to find out what the high-level plan of your country is, whether it really wants to maintain friendship with the Republic of China, or is it a smoke bomb to cover up military operations in North China so that they can formulate policies in Southeast Asia.

The price is 5 oceans for the speech, and it is 5 oceans to find out the real purpose. The pound and gold are used as trading units. Many people know about this. If you want to make money, you need to be faster. "

Foreign Minister Hirota?

Speech to China?

5 million oceans.

Ikuta Takashi narrowed his eyes. He knew about this matter. Both the Matsumoto family and Minister of Intelligence Eiji Amaba had sent secret telegrams to let the consulate pay attention to the reactions of all walks of life in Shanghai after the speech was published.

The reason for this is simple. In war, not only guns, but also people's hearts must be considered. In the future, when the empire conquers this land, the first thing to do is to distinguish who can be friends and who will be enemies.

Friends, then win over.

Enemy, get rid of it.

The purpose of Foreign Minister Hirota’s conversation must be to prepare for the Sino-Japanese war. Can you get 5 oceans if you get this information? Takashi Ikuta can’t believe it. The money is too easy to earn.

It's definitely not that simple. Intelligence needs to be supported by evidence, such as relevant telegrams and documents. I happen to have a telegram in my desk drawer. Do you want to betray the empire?

His eyes flickered, and there was a battle between heaven and man in his mind, with national interests on one side and his own interests on the other. How to choose was embarrassing, but thinking about the Matsumoto family, he finally had a decision in his heart.

"The speech will take time. The relevant order from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in my hands. I only want gold when it will be traded. European and American ghosts and animals are not trustworthy." Takashi Ikuta lowered his voice.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest.

The old bean was overjoyed, and hurriedly approached and introduced: "No problem, the transaction can be made tomorrow, the money in the wallet will be regarded as a deposit, and the rest will be used for the big yellow croaker from Citibank, how about that?"

"Yosie, good."

Takashi Ikuta was so happy that he could even speak Japanese. The large yellow croaker from Citibank was of high purity and was very popular in the world. It could be easily exchanged for the currency of any country on the black market.

With the help of money, the position of Deputy Minister of Intelligence was readily available. As soon as Iwai left, the consulate's intelligence work would be decided by himself, and the information could be sold as he wanted at that time.

Promoted to minister in three years.

Five years back home to work.

Become a cabinet member within ten years.

He seemed to see that decades later, he accepted the appointment of the locust at the Imperial Palace, took charge of the empire as the prime minister, led the Yamato warriors to fight in all directions, and defeated all European and American powers.

"Friend? Friend?"

Seeing the other party standing there in a daze, Lao Dou yelled twice, and said, "I've discussed things, so I'll go first. Tomorrow will still be at this time and this place. Let's see each other."

"what."

Ikuta Takashi in his fantasy reacted and asked, and then urged: "Okay, I will do as you said, by the way, don't forget that you promised not to charge a penny for this transaction.

There is a saying in China that one promise keeps one promise, honesty is the foundation of cooperation, you already know my strength, and I will provide more and more valuable information in the future, Mr. Dou, you will not break your promise. "

The three achievements of 5 Dayang are [-]. If you give up so much share for nothing, it would be better to kill him. Takashi Ikuta stared at Lao Dou's eyes, for fear that the other party would not believe what he said.

"One word from a gentleman is hard to follow." Old Dou raised his hat and said decisively: "Dou will not go back on his word, then I will wait for your good news, and our days will be long in the future."

Ikuta Takashi heaved a sigh of relief, pretended to be polite, and then left with a smile on his face. He was going to go back and make a good plan to see how to get the content of Hirota's speech.

It's not that he's not patriotic, it's that the other party has given too much. He vowed that when he becomes prime minister, he will teach the British a lesson. As for now, it's important to return the embezzled public funds.

Besides, after Laodou separated from him, he continued to walk for more than ten minutes, pushed open the courtyard door of a Shikumen house on the side of the road, sneaked in, walked to the living room, and saluted the people inside.

"Report, Gucci came to report."

　① Planting lotus is a slang word for the gangsters in old Shanghai, which means to tie people into rice dumplings and throw them into the bottom of the river.

　　② Rigidity in Shanghai dialect means fool.
