Spy War 1929

Chapter 150 Profiteering Industry
In Fengxian Clinic, Zhou Mingxian held the expired declaration newspaper, frowning, wondering what he was thinking.His eyes blinked from time to time, and there was a thoughtful light in his eyes.

Lu Feng was sitting on the other side with his legs crossed, holding a copy of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases in his hands.Others can tell at a glance that this person's attention is not on the book.Because he would look up at Zhou Mingxian from time to time.Seeing Zhou Ming sitting there in a daze, he lowered his head again, let his eyes stay on the book for a while, and then repeated the above actions.

Zhou Ming was very annoyed.Lu Feng had a problem for himself.Especially in the past two days, Chen Ledao has made a lot of noise.This made it harder for him to decide.

The newspaper in Zhou Mingxian's hand was the declaration with Ding Lifan's slap photo attached. He had held this newspaper for two days, and he had broken the heart of an "old father" in these two days.

"Brother-in-law, you've been reading this newspaper for two days. What are you thinking about?" Zhang Xiaojun walked past Zhou Mingxian, seeing that he was still holding the newspaper in his hand, he couldn't help asking.

Isn't it because the people under that guy slapped that person from the Sheng family? It's so beautiful?Zhang Xiaojun was puzzled by her brother-in-law's behavior.

Even the letter written by my sister to my brother-in-law, my brother-in-law hasn't read it for two days!

Zhang Xiaojun opened his "Xiaozhang's Diary Material Book" in his heart, and silently wrote down the matter, and there was material for the diary at night.The letter to my sister also has material!The corners of a certain young girl's mouth curled up slightly.

"Ah, oh, it's nothing." Zhou Ming woke up from his contemplation first, and said casually.Put the newspaper in your hand on the counter.

Zhang Xiaojun looked at her brother-in-law suspiciously, always feeling that her brother-in-law seemed to be thinking of something bad.Shaking his head, Zhang Xiaojun walked away puzzled.

Lu Feng closed "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases", took the book and walked to Zhou Mingxian's counter, knocked on the counter with his knuckles, and a crisp sound sounded.

"Have you thought about it? It's not too late. You can see the influence of this kid now. If you beat someone from the Sheng family, it will only be published in a newspaper. Even the Sheng family can't do anything about him. He is in The influence of Shanghai Bund is growing day by day." Lu Feng said with emotion.

Zhou Ming shook his head distractedly, he was worrying about this matter.

"If you really don't want to arrange Xiaojun to be under Chen Ledao, then we will consider arranging someone else to go. Chen Ledao's future status in Shanghai is almost visible, we have to make preparations early." Lu Feng reminded.

Chen Ledao definitely needs to arrange someone to fight for it, even if the buttocks are only slightly tilted to their side, sometimes it can have a big effect.

Zhou Mingxian really didn't want to arrange Zhang Xiaojun to serve under Chen Ledao, and Lu Feng didn't want to make things difficult for Zhou Mingxian.But it is definitely necessary to arrange for another person to go.It's just a pity, if Xiaojun works under Chen Ledao, it should be the safest.

It is not easy to find a safe "job" these days.

Zhou Ming shook his head first, then took a deep breath suddenly: "No need, let Xiaojun go." He finally made a decision.

The place where other people lurk is inside the Kuomintang, the police station, and various more dangerous places.How could he hesitate here just because he was worried about Zhang Xiaojun.This is irresponsible to his other comrades.

"It's really decided?" Lu Feng was surprised why Zhou Mingxian made a decision so suddenly.This is a bit of a contrast to the previous hesitation.Lu Feng guessed that even if Zhou Ming made a decision first, he should be worried about this and that and discuss with him for a long time before making a final decision.

"It's decided, I'll go and talk to Xiaojun about it." Zhou Mingxian stopped hesitating and got up and walked inward.

Lu Feng looked at Zhou Mingxian's back from behind, but he sighed in his heart. "I hope that brat Chen Ledao won't make his mind on Xiao Jun."

Don't look at Lu Feng's way of persuading Zhou Mingxian, but he doesn't have much in his heart.Thinking that Zhang Xiaojun might fall into Chen Ledao's sweet talk to women, Lu Feng shuddered.If Sister Zhang knows about this.I have to be peeled off a layer of skin.

"Let me lurk beside Chen Ledao?" Zhang Xiaojun's eyes widened, this is really a joke, the mother opened the door for a joke!

She almost yelled loudly, but when she thought of her identity, she hurriedly lowered her voice.

She felt incredible about Zhou Mingxian's decision.Although she doesn't hate Chen Ledao as much as before, and logically speaking, Chen Ledao is still her savior, so she should be grateful.

But that guy is a philandering radish, isn't there a lot of gossip about this guy in the newspapers!How can my brother-in-law feel at ease and arrange himself next to that guy!
Zhang Xiaojun looked at Zhou Mingxian in confusion.She didn't object to lurking beside Chen Ledao, other comrades were doing more dangerous jobs than this, so she had nothing to complain about.It's just that Zhou Mingxian was the one who made this decision.My brother-in-law is always the best to me. When my sister beat me up when I was young, it was my brother-in-law who protected me.How could he rest assured to arrange himself beside Chen Ledao!
Zhou Ming coughed a few times, "Chen Ledao is actually quite good. I know him well, and he is a decent person. I have talked with him before. His thinking is very advanced, and some viewpoints are even worth learning from."

Zhou Ming first thought of the conversation he had with Chen Ledao on the train when they first met.At that time, it was the two of them who talked speculatively that they became friends with a difference of more than ten years.At that time, Chen Ledao was completely a young man with progressive thinking and excellent in all aspects.

Now what's up! !

Facing Zhang Xiaojun's look of "I have read the book, don't try to fool me".Zhou Ming coughed a few times in embarrassment.The current Chen Ledao is slightly different from the original one.

"He is, but his private life may be a little messed up, and he has an ambiguous relationship with many female friends." Zhou Ming said tactfully.

If this matter is discussed in the form of an order, Zhang Xiaojun naturally has no room for bargaining.But the bottom of my heart must be a little pimple.For this kind of thing, of course, we must first do ideological guidance.

Zhou Ming first put on a serious face to let Zhang Xiaojun understand that this is not a joke.

"Arranging you to come to Chen Ledao's side mainly has one purpose." Zhou Ming looked at Zhang Xiaojun solemnly.Zhang Xiaojun saw his seriousness, straightened his mind, and put aside the little grievances in his heart.

"Chen Ledao's Yeweiyang Song and Dance Hall has become popular in the foreign concessions. At the same time, Chen Ledao is also the inspector of the police station, and his position may be even higher in the future. The organization attaches great importance to this matter.

The main reason for arranging you to come to him is to pass on some ideas of the organization to Chen Ledao through you, and to pull him into our camp through subtle influence. "

Zhou Ming first spoke earnestly, and now that he had made a decision, he no longer hesitated, and tried his best to persuade Zhang Xiaojun, and clarified the strength and intentions with Zhang Xiaojun.

"In the past two years, the Kuomintang secret investigation team has been targeting us. Our intelligence system in Shanghai has suffered heavy losses. Now we are working on rebuilding it. If we can make Chen Ledao lean to our side, then his power in Shanghai will be able to fight We've helped tremendously."

Zhou Ming stopped at this point first. After talking so much, Zhang Xiaojun must understand how important Chen Ledao is to them.

In fact, to win over Chen Ledao, it would be most useful for Zhou Ming to do it himself first.With the relationship between him and Chen Ledao, the confidence will be even greater.But this is not a child's play, and you must not be emotional.

Zhou Mingxian has a special status and cannot easily expose himself.Moreover, he had to be responsible for too many things, so he couldn't devote more energy to Chen Ledao.

"There is another reason why we decided to send you to him. After Chen Ledao saved you last time, he had contact with the people in the secret investigation team. Now he has a close relationship with the people in the secret investigation team. If we If you don’t work hard, Chen Ledao will probably be drawn to them by the secret investigation team. This is the last thing we want to see, do you understand?” Zhou Mingxian’s face is serious, he is not bluffing Zhang Xiaojun, this is true It's the last thing they want to see.

Chen Ledao usually doesn't show his power, that's because Chen Ledao doesn't need to do anything.When he really wants to do something.He can mobilize the power of the police department in the concession, he can mobilize the power of Ye Weiyang, and maybe even mobilize part of the power of Feng's Chamber of Commerce.

The combination of these three forces is enough to be frightening in Shanghai.

When Zhang Xiaojun heard that this incident had something to do with him, he couldn't sit still.This is actually caused by himself!She gritted her teeth, heartbroken.

"Okay, no problem, I'll go to work with Chen Ledao. I assure the organization that I will definitely pass the organization's thoughts into his mind and make him one of our own." Zhang Xiaojun said seriously with a sullen face.

"Don't be so serious, don't stress. In my chat with Chen Ledao before, I could feel that his thoughts are similar to ours. I believe you can do this.

And he is not a bad person, you are by his side, the chance of encountering danger is very small.You don't need to do anything special by his side, the only thing you need to do is to understand him, and then affect him in a subtle and silent way.I have a good relationship with him, he knows our relationship, even if he finds out your identity, he probably won't make things difficult for you.

But remember, don't let him feel bad about the organization.If you can, you might even ask him how he feels about the organization. "Zhou Mingxian was both relieved and exhorted. His mood was also contradictory.

I hope that brat Chen Ledao can be a human being!Zhou Ming first prayed in his heart.

Zhou Mingxian has confidence in Chen Ledao in other aspects, but in the matter of women, Chen Ledao's impression on Zhou Mingxian is hard to describe.

Convincing Zhang Xiaojun, Zhou Ming walked out first, most of the seriousness just now dissipated in an instant, and he let out a long sigh.

"Xiaojun agreed, think about how to properly arrange Xiaojun to work under Chen Ledao." Zhou Ming first said to Lu Fengdao
In Kesling Café, Chen Ledao and Tom Smith are sitting opposite each other.

"Henry, why are you looking for me? You can't just drink a cup of coffee." Tom put down the coffee cup and asked Chen Ledao with a smile.

Chen Ledao smiled lightly when he heard the words, clasped his hands together, and the smile on the corner of his mouth looked a bit mysterious.

"I'm here to take care of your business."

"Business?" Tom looked at Chen Ledao suspiciously, "Do you need a gun?"

His business is only arms trading, and Chen Ledao has to take care of his business, so naturally this is the only one.

Chen Ledao nodded slightly, took the coffee and added a piece of sugar to it, then added another piece of sugar, and then added another piece of sugar under Tom's surprised eyes.

It seems that Henry should like to eat desserts.This wild thought flashed through Tom's mind.

"I heard from Hector that you can get a lot of good firearms. I need a batch of pistols now, and if you have a channel, I also want some M1928 submachine guns." Chen Ledao spoke bluntly, without deviating from Tom.

The M1928 submachine gun, also known as the Thompson submachine gun.However, there are many versions of the Thompson submachine gun, and the M1928 is just one of them.

"M1928? Oh, hell!!" Tom's eyes widened. "How do you know her?"

Tom couldn't believe it. The M1928 has only been released for a short time. At present, it is almost only available in the United States.China and even Europe do not currently have this gun.Chen Ledao knew that this gun was outrageous!

Chen Ledao smiled slightly, and didn't answer Tom's words. It's always good to keep some mystery.

"So, Tom, can you get them?"

"Of course." Tom nodded without hesitation, this is his job.

"But Henry, I want to ask, are you planning to use M1928 for those people in your dance hall?"

Tom knew that Chen Ledao's Yeweiyang dance hall was not a serious dance hall, and it was of the same nature as those underground forces in the United States.

There is nothing to hide about this matter, Chen Ledao nodded slightly.He had bigger plans for Tom, and he said it without hesitation.Maybe it can also bring the distance between the two closer.

"Oh, then I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it." Tom looked at Chen Ledao and said.

Chen Ledao resisted the urge to roll his eyes, can I not listen to what you have said?
"You said."

"I suggest you not to buy the M1928. The M1928 gun is the latest model, it is more popular and expensive. Compared with its price, it is not cost-effective. I suggest you buy the M1921.

M1921 is a weapon favored by American underground forces. It has strong firepower and strong suppressing power. Although it is not as good as M1928, it is quite enough for Shanghai Bund.Even most Chinese armies do not have such fierce firepower. "Tom gave what he thought was the most suitable suggestion. Although this has something to do with the M1928 being a bit difficult to deal with.

"How much is M1928?" Chen Ledao asked.

"At present, the cheapest is 200 US dollars, but the actual price must be more than that. If you really want to buy it, you have to be prepared to bleed." Tom said.

M1928, this thing is now strictly controlled by the manufacturer, and it is more troublesome for him to get it.

Two hundred dollars, converted into oceans, is almost 500 oceans.Chen Ledao frowned tightly, the price was a bit unfriendly.

"What about M1921?"

"$200."

Chen Le said: "."

What the hell!

Chen Ledao really wanted to take out the M1911 under his coat and give Tom two bullets for free.One left brain, one right brain!Kill this turtle grandson!

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet!" Seeing that Chen Ledao's eyes were not right, Tom suddenly remembered that Chen Ledao was the leader of the underground forces.Hurry up and speak up.

"The $200 is just the market price, but we are friends. Last time you agreed with me to join Paramount without any hesitation. This time I will also give you a gift. In Chinese terms, this is called reciprocating. said Tom quickly.

"What I give you is the ex-factory price, even cheaper than the ex-factory price. I won't make a penny from it, you just need to pay me some shipping costs."

After hearing this, Chen Ledao's complexion became better. Who can stand Tom's half-spoken character? !
"Tell me carefully." Chen Ledao took a sip of coffee to suppress his shock.

"You only need to give me $130 for each gun. This is the price I took out of the factory. I really didn't make a penny. It's even cheaper than the factory price. The regular factory price is $150. said Tom.

Chen Ledao's eyebrows stretched slightly. Although I don't know if it is true that Tom said that he didn't earn a cent, the number 130 and 200 is indeed much friendlier.

$130, or 325 oceans.There are almost two hundred oceans missing.

Chen Ledao was not talking to Tom, thinking about it.

"One M1921 costs 130 US dollars, ten sets cost 1300 US dollars, and 2600 sets cost [-] US dollars. That's how much it costs." Chen Ledao put his hands under the edge of the table and wrenched his fingers.

"6500 oceans!"

Chen Le said:
"groove!

20 Thompsons cost 6500 oceans, why the hell don't you grab them! "Chen Ledao cursed fiercely in his heart, no wonder those Yankees like to fight, how much money do they have to make!
Chen Ledao wanted to proudly ask Tom to directly arrange a hundred Thomson submachine guns, but now he backed down.

"Then I need five or twenty Thomson submachine guns." Thinking about it carefully, it seems that there are not many powerful firearms now.What Ye Weiyang lacks most now is a pistol.

Even old man Feng's subordinates only have domestic flower organs, Ye Weiyang should not make it too luxurious now.

"No problem, I have stock here now, and you can get it right away." Tom nodded directly.It's the first time I've come to China. Currently, he only has a small amount in stock in Shanghai, but he still has [-] Thompsons.This is a classic firearm after all.

"What kind of pistols do you have?" Hearing what Tom said, Chen Ledao simply asked.

"There's the M1911, and there's the Colt revolver, all American-made pistols."

"How much is M1911?"

"$40."

Chen Le said: "."

"Is there any discount if there is no order? Like ex-factory price?"

"."

"Henry, I suggest you just buy a Mauser pistol, and you don't need to buy a German-made Mauser pistol. The German-made Mauser pistol seems to be around 20-30 dollars now. You can buy a Mauser pistol produced by the Chinese. If you find the right one If you are interested, you may be able to buy it for only 20-30 oceans." Tom gave another suggestion.

There were no Mauser pistols in his cargo list, but when he came to Shanghai, he saw too many Mauser pistols and did market research, knowing that Mauser pistols are very popular here.And the price is much cheaper than other pistols.

Mauser?Chen Ledao nodded slightly, not surprised.

What he originally wanted was to see if Tom had a Mauser pistol for sale here. After all, this pistol impressed him the most, and Mauser pistols were also the most common on the black market.It's just that Tom doesn't seem to have a Mauser here.
