Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 553 The Absolutely Lonely Lonely Hero

After hearing what Anping said, Cao Zhiqiang understood that it was the boss who invited him.

The so-called "signal tower" is actually Uncle Lin's code name.

Originally, when Cao Zhiqiang first came into contact with Uncle Lin, he didn't engage in these code names and the like, mainly because he wasn't involved deeply.

But after the Tu 160 bomber was traded, Cao Zhiqiang's secrecy level rose sharply, becoming the highest level.

At this time, it must be called by a code name.

For example, the secret organization created by Cao Zhiqiang is referred to as "fog" in China.

Cao Zhiqiang, the middleman appointed by "Mist", is referred to as "Fog Lamp".

As for Cao Zhiqiang's top contact person, Uncle Lin, he is referred to as "signal tower".

Making a code name is not superfluous, but similar to a slang word, which increases the difficulty for others to see through at certain times.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, the two people assigned to Cao Zhiqiang, that is, An Ping and Xu Chun, were completely cut off by the relevant department, that is, their relationship was sorted out from the beginning.

This means that from now on, Anping and Xu Chun are Cao Zhiqiang's people. Apart from contacting Cao Zhiqiang and following Cao Zhiqiang's orders, they are absolutely not allowed to contact their former bosses or colleagues.

In other words, in order to protect Cao Zhiqiang's safety to the maximum extent, Anping and Xu Chun will no longer set up separate online channels in the future. Their only online channel is Cao Zhiqiang. Without Cao Zhiqiang's order, they are not allowed to contact others casually.

In this way, an isolated three-person team was formed. This three-person team has Cao Zhiqiang as the core, and can only contact Uncle Lin himself, so as to minimize the possibility of exposure.

Of course, Uncle Lin himself, the so-called signal tower, can contact Cao Zhiqiang by contacting Anping and Xu Chun.

That is to say, Anping and Xu Chun couldn't directly contact Uncle Lin without bypassing Cao Zhiqiang, but Uncle Lin could directly contact Anping or Xu Chun.

Just like now, it was Uncle Lin who contacted Anping through a special method and asked Anping to find Cao Zhiqiang.

Since the boss has invited, Cao Zhiqiang will definitely go.

But what he didn't expect was that the meeting place this time was actually at the home of the big leader, Uncle Xu.

If you think about it carefully, although Uncle Lin is engaged in secret work, his status is too high and his identity is sensitive. In the eyes of interested people, he is as obvious as a star in the dark night.

So if Cao Zhiqiang had frequent contact with Uncle Lin, it would definitely be bad for Cao Zhiqiang.

As for Uncle Lin's work unit, although the level of secrecy is very high, because of the high level of secrecy, if Cao Zhiqiang frequents such occasions, he will also be suspected.

Therefore, the best way is to secretly go to some places that others can ignore.

Although Uncle Xu is a high-ranking cadre, he was a leader in metallurgy before, and he is now retired. He is an old man who has retired at home. Even if he has some energy and connections, in the eyes of most people, or in the eyes of Western spies, he has already Not a character to watch.

As for the relationship between Uncle Xu and Cao Zhiqiang, there is a constant breakup. After all, Cao Zhiqiang was contracted by Hongguang Publishing House, and anyone who is interested can definitely find out that it is because of Uncle Xu's relationship.

And in the eyes of most people, the big backstage behind Cao Zhiqiang is this Uncle Xu who has retired at home, so it is reasonable for Cao Zhiqiang to visit Uncle Xu's house, and it will definitely not arouse suspicion.

Furthermore, the first time Cao Zhiqiang handed over the system reward information to the country was through Uncle Xu, so Uncle Xu has been inseparable from this matter since then, and he is one of the insiders.

What's more, Mr. Xu is old-hearted. Although he has retired, judging from his appearance, he seems to be quite happy to be the middleman.

After all, to do this kind of thing is to contribute to the country, and Uncle Xu has been doing it all his life, and the biggest bottom line is to serve the country and the people.

At the beginning, Uncle Xu was willing to give Cao Zhiqiang a chance to try to contract a publishing house and publish his own works. Although he was really optimistic about Cao Zhiqiang's talent and meant to show his support for reform, it was also praised by Cao Zhiqiang's patriotic songs. Impressed.

Otherwise, Uncle Xu would be too lazy to do much.

Soon, Cao Zhiqiang and Anping left the hotel, took a taxi, and then went directly to get off a street outside Uncle Xu's community, and then walked to Uncle Xu's community.

They were registered under the supervision of the guards at the gate, and after calling to confirm, the armed police on guard let the two go.

After entering the community, Cao Zhiqiang walked to Uncle Xu's house on foot.

The one who opened the door was Uncle Xu's wife, the wife of the leader, not the nanny. It is said that the nanny asked for leave.

Then, Anping stayed in the living room, while Cao Zhiqiang went directly to the study under the instruction of the leader's wife.

After walking into the study, I saw Uncle Xu and Uncle Lin playing Go, it was a joy to come and play.

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang enter the door, Uncle Lin laughed, waved his hand, messed up the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said to Uncle Xu who was full of astonishment: "The right master is here, I can't play anymore."

"Ha!" Uncle Xu laughed angrily, "You're about to lose, so you can't talk now? You're cheating!"

Uncle Lin curled his lips: "I'm so busy all day, how can I be so leisurely as you, can I have time to think about this? Okay, don't make trouble, go out and let me have a good chat with Comrade Xiao Cao. "

"Okay." Uncle Xu smiled, "You're just bullying me, a retired old man! Forget it, forget it, you can hide it if you can't provoke it."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Xu stood up, put his hands behind his back, nodded at Cao Zhiqiang with a smile, and then went straight out of the study, leaving room for Cao Zhiqiang and Uncle Lin.

After Uncle Xu left and took the door consciously, Uncle Lin waved to Cao Zhiqiang with a smile, and pointed to the place where Uncle Lin was sitting before, which was opposite to Uncle Lin.

Cao Zhiqiang was not pretentious, he quickly came to the seat in front of Uncle Xu, and sat down directly.

"A dish?" Uncle Lin looked at Cao Zhiqiang.

Cao Zhiqiang quickly shook his head: "No."

Just kidding, this old man is Cao Zhiqiang's immediate boss, and this old man obviously likes to play tricks, playing chess with him is no fun, it's looking for abuse.

"Really not?" Uncle Lin's eyes lit up.

"Really not." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head resolutely, "Not at all."

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Uncle Lin shook his head with regret, "Then we can only talk."

"It's good to have a dry chat, it's more formal." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile.

Uncle Lin nodded: "Drink water?"

"No need." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I drank a lot of water and coffee before coming here."

"Ah." Uncle Lin smiled, "Coffee with Lou Xiao'e?"

Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously raised his eyebrows, surprised that Uncle Lin knew about this, but nodded quickly: "Yes."

"Lou Xiao'e." Uncle Lin raised his head and touched his chin. "This woman is okay. Although she is a bit of a philistine, she is still a solidarity object. It is still possible to contact her."

Speaking of this, Uncle Lin looked at Cao Zhiqiang: "But, okay, why did you provoke her?"

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while, carefully considered his words, and then confessed his thoughts.

According to Cao Zhiqiang, she wanted to develop in Hong Kong through Lou Xiao'e's relationship a long time ago, that is, before contracting Hongguang Publishing House.

After all, he has the talent to write and sing songs, and he is also very good at writing books. If he goes to Hong Kong to develop, he will only get more and live a better life.

This reason is very reasonable. After all, in this period, every ordinary person wants to go to Hong Kong to develop, but most people don't have the opportunity.

It's just that after Cao Zhiqiang contracted the publishing house and was selected by the mysterious organization code-named "Mist" as an intermediary, he lost this idea for a while, until Lou Xiao'e suddenly came again, and he thought again.

Because Cao Zhiqiang believes that there is a high probability that the fog organization is a foreign organization. In other words, Cao Zhiqiang will most likely go abroad frequently in the future.

Of course, with Uncle Lin's ability, it's not difficult to arrange for Cao Zhiqiang to go abroad, but doing so would leave some traces.

So for the sake of safety, Cao Zhiqiang hopes to go abroad in a more reasonable way.

During this period, Cao Zhiqiang wanted to go to Japan or Europe and the United States. After all, Japanese and English are two foreign languages, and he has no problem communicating with them.

But in these places, the power projected by the country is too weak, and he is afraid that if something happens, he will be detained and unable to return.

Therefore, after much deliberation, he felt that Hong Kong was the best place for activities.

Hong Kong is still a British colony, but it is also very close to China. It is currently the main port of communication between China and the West.

If he goes there, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't need to change his nationality, and he can use the name of doing business as a cover to better serve the motherland.

Among them, Lou Xiaoe's identity is more important.

If Cao Zhiqiang goes to settle in Hong Kong through Lou Xiaoe's relationship, then all this seems reasonable.

It's just that Lou Xiao'e is not related to him, so if he wants Lou Xiao'e to help, there must be a reasonable reason.

Cao Zhiqiang and Lou Xiao'e used to be neighbors, and Cao Zhiqiang previously opened a restaurant called "Food is the Sky" in the capital. Before that, he also took He Yuzhu from the courtyard together and gave him [-]% of the shares.

He Yuzhu has a relationship with Lou Xiaoe, and they have a child, and at least half of the reason for Lou Xiaoe's return this time is for He Yuzhu, to reconcile with He Yuzhu and start a new family.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang used "food is the sky" as a bait, and negotiated a deal with Lou Xiaoe, and decided to sell all the shares of "food is the sky" in Cao Zhiqiang's hands to Lou Xiaoe, and Lou Xiaoe gave Cao Zhiqiang 20 US dollars, and gave Cao Zhiqiang Provide Hong Kong lawyers to help Cao Zhiqiang carry out investment immigration.

That's right, Cao Zhiqiang's idea is that he wants to make money first, and after making money, he will use his own strength to immigrate to Hong Kong in the form of investment immigration.

In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an ordinary rich man who is greedy for prosperity, and this kind of person is the last thing to be guarded against.

At that time, after he goes to Hong Kong, he will first open an entertainment company, set foot in the entertainment industry, continue to sing and make money, and at the same time open a trading company to conduct trade with the mainland.

With a trading company as a cover, as long as the country provides certain conveniences, it will be more convenient to trade with "Mist" in the future.

Hong Kong is a free port with a well-developed financial industry, making it a perfect smuggling sanctuary.

However, if the business expands, Uncle Lin still needs to work hard to expand the port and infrastructure in Shekou, especially to build a large airport and railway line, so as to transport "special goods" more conveniently.

In addition, Hainan is also a good choice.

Cao Zhiqiang felt that in addition to Shekou, Hainan also needed to build a secret port with an airport to facilitate further cooperation with "Mist" in the future.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang believes that the cooperation with the mist must be kept secret and secret.

During this period, Cao Zhiqiang must run around, at least in the Mainland, Hong Kong and even abroad.

In this way, he must have a reasonable identity.

It's not safe just as a businessman, but if you add the status of an international artist, it will be perfect.

If Cao Zhiqiang became an internationally renowned star, it would be normal for him to travel to various countries.

Normally speaking, an entertainment star would not be suspected of being a spy. After all, normally speaking, an entertainment star has nothing to do with sensitive industries.

As for the entertainment star who also runs a trading company, this is perfectly normal. Naturally, if he makes money, he must invest in various industries.

Cao Zhiqiang meant that after he was going to Hong Kong, he would continue to cooperate with Lou Xiaoe's family.

This way, it seems more normal. After all, the two of them have had a cooperative relationship and are relatively familiar with each other.

Secondly, Lou Xiao'e obviously wants to come to the mainland to develop, and it will also facilitate better control of Lou Xiao'e in the future.

In short, Cao Zhiqiang does not want to change his established development strategy because of the existence of "fog".

On the contrary, he believes that it is precisely because of the appearance of the "fog" that he has to complete his previous development strategy step by step, because this is the best camouflage.

"Uncle Lin." After finishing these words, Cao Zhiqiang said seriously, "Although I am still young and I don't know many things clearly, I can also see that this fog organization is very unusual and has quite a lot of energy. There are Western countries or super consortia operating.

At present, it seems that the other party found me not because I am so special, but because they just need a suitable person as a middleman to match them.

I don't know the purpose of their doing so, most likely it is to balance international relations.

Also, since the other party can give us some equipment and technology that the Mi Army is active in and that are not allowed to be exported, it means that there must be power from the Mi Country involved.

Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the current transaction with my country is just the beginning, and as the two parties contact each other more frequently in the future, the products and contents of the transaction will become more and more extensive.

Therefore, I think the country should pay more attention to it, and it is not an exaggeration to set up a national-level special group for this purpose. "

"What you said makes sense." Uncle Lin nodded, "In fact, the central government has secretly issued an order to upgrade the fog to the highest level, and is indeed preparing to set up a special project team.

Originally, I had some doubts about you, but after hearing your previous plan, I have no doubts.

In short, you can do it boldly and let me know if you have any difficulties, and I will try my best to solve it for you!
But..."

After a pause, Uncle Lin said: "Although we really want to continue in-depth cooperation with the Misty Organization, we really don't have enough money in terms of foreign exchange, so if you go to Japan this time, if you get in touch with them, ask them if they can settle in RMB? "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "This... I can ask for help, but I hope you don't have too high hopes."

"I understand, I understand." Uncle Lin sighed, "It's a wild asking price, and you should pay back the money on the spot. Talk about it. You have to be bolder, especially when we are very poor."

"Hehehe." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, but did not speak.

Uncle Lin pursed his lips, and then said: "This time, we can only give you [-] million US dollars, which is the down payment of the last transaction.

Others, our bottom line is to pay off the remaining 15 billion US dollars in three years, but it is best to pay it off in ten years. I hope you can bargain for us in this regard. "

Cao Zhiqiang blinked: "Okay, I know, I will do my best!"

Uncle Lin scratched his head: "The rest, there is nothing to say.

Oh, by the way, I originally wanted to introduce you to our secret contact in Japan. In case of need, you can ask the contact there for help, but considering your special situation, I won’t tell you.

Anyway, your matter is very special, and if one less person knows about it, one less person will know about it.

At present, very few people know about the Mist, and you have not received much anti-espionage training. This is a disadvantage and an advantage.

Therefore, we still decided to let you play freely. After all, you are a smart person, and if people can choose you, you must have your uniqueness. "

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang understood that the other party regarded him as a pawn fighting alone.

Fighting alone, without contacting comrades from other secret fronts, even if he is caught, he will not know the members of other secret fronts, and there is not much useful information to be dug from him.

And if he has not been caught and has been acting as a middleman in the transaction with Misty, then the country will naturally benefit greatly.

In short, the country hopes to continue in-depth cooperation with Misty, but does not want Misty to know too much about the domestic situation, especially the situation of the Secret Front.

In other words, the country attaches great importance to the fog, but does not particularly trust it, and does not want to become dependent on the fog, at most it is a useful supplement.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang's line is an absolutely lonely hero. It's best if nothing happens, and it doesn't matter if something happens, after all, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't know much.

Although Cao Zhiqiang knew that from the perspective of the country, this was the best choice, but he still felt a little uncomfortable hearing this.

But on the other hand, this is actually the best way to protect him.

After all, the more people who know, the more likely it is to leak the secret.

If Cao Zhiqiang is not allowed to connect with other secret fronts and not communicate, then he will not know other secret fronts, and other secret fronts will not know him. In this way, if other secret fronts make mistakes, he will not be implicated .

This may seem cruel and ruthless, but in fact there is tenderness and care in the cruelty.

As for how to understand it, it depends on how you personally think.

"Understood." Cao Zhiqiang took a deep breath and said with a serious face, "From now on, I will be more careful and focus on preserving myself, and on this premise, I will do my best to help the country trade with the fog. "

"Very good!" Uncle Lin also nodded seriously, "If you think so, that's the best.

Remember, your own safety is the most important, even if you give up the deal with Mist, you will not hesitate.

In a word, you can do whatever you want, but you must never expose yourself!

Under the premise of not exposing yourself, try to trade with the mist as safely as possible, understand what I mean? "

"Understood." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Please rest assured, chief, the task must be completed!"
