Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 286 The information gap is actually money
Chu nodded forward, "Of course, this is the information obtained in exchange for 10 US dollars. If it is inaccurate, the American officer will be dead."

Although the excuses made by American military officers are all nonsense.

But before I returned to the mainland last time, I did see a dozen U.S. soldiers wearing Green Berets and fully armed in Saigon.

As the first special forces unit in the United States, even the term "special forces" in this era refers to the Green Berets.

How could Chu Xiangqian admit his mistake for such a famous unit.

Qian Guotai immediately worried about Chu Xiangqian's safety.

Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, one hundred thousand dollars is not that easy to get. That guy doesn't want to go to jail, or even have his whole family die. Even if he is caught for other things, he doesn't dare to expose it.

As for the authenticity of the intelligence, at least my people have determined that this kind of troops once appeared in Saigon.

Even the camp they once stationed was in the military camp to the west outside Saigon City. "

Upon hearing that Chu Xiangqian knew the specific address of the camp, Qian Guotai hurriedly asked for the address, and then said excitedly, "If we can find their traces first, maybe we can designate a pocket in advance.

Wait for them to come to your door, then eliminate them in one fell swoop, or even capture them.

Once someone is caught, the United States will be strongly criticized by the international community. "

Chu Qianqian curled his lips. When Americans are determined to fight, they don't care about other countries' voices at all.

If anyone objected, he would bypass the authorization and go it alone.

When the war breaks out, gather some allies to build momentum.

"I advise you not to have any hope in international public opinion. Americans do not care about international pressure at all for their own interests.

Besides, it would be good for us to drag the United States into a rainforest country like Vietnam and consume their national power. "

Qian Guotai looked at Chu Qianqian in surprise. He didn't expect this kid to be so dark-hearted, but using his little brother to fight against the United States and weaken the country's strength was indeed a good move.

"But what if North Vietnam can't handle it?"

Chu Qianqian smiled and said, "If you can't bear it, go fight guerrillas, but once the news of the Americans entering South Vietnam reaches the polar bears, they will definitely intervene.

Coupled with our support from behind, two against one, we can at least maintain a lasting situation.

Moreover, there are so many jungles in Vietnam and the borders are long. It is really impossible for the Americans to hide in the neighbor's rainforest. Can the Americans really find them all?
Besides, if the Americans want to enter South Vietnam, we can't stop it if we want to.In this case, it is important to prepare early. "

Qian Guotai thought for a while and realized that he really couldn't stop the actions of the Americans.

With a sigh, he put the information away, showed a smile and said, "By the way, the supplies you lucked out a few days ago were not only shipped to the troops in the south, but the leader in charge of foreign affairs also showed up again in front of our immediate superiors. I complimented you.

Based on what we learned from our comrades in Southeast Asia, our superiors decided to try planting some breadfruit trees on Hainan Island. "

After saying that, Qian Guotai also took out a telegram that said, 'Thank you Comrade Chu Xiangqian for everything you have done.'

The last signature was that of the thin old man.

Chu Xiangqian instantly felt his blood boiling all over his body. In a moment of excitement, he wanted to donate the 200 million US dollars to his superiors.

Fortunately, Chu Qianqian was used to being cautious and swallowed the words as soon as they came to his lips.

Instead, he smiled and said, "Uncle Qian, is my information worth $10?"

Qian Guotai knew what Chu Xiangqian meant as soon as he heard it.

After all, the country really doesn't have much ability to kill this beret at this time.

But the Polar Bears get involved and let their special forces have a fight with the Americans. Regardless of winning or losing, it will be a good thing for China.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Qian Guotai, but it was different if he took the initiative to provide good things.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian is actually willing to provide funds to the mainland, but giving it away for free is not as long-lasting as the deal.

After all, if you give away too much for free, and if you don't guarantee enough, if you suddenly stop giving away, a small number of people will feel that they have changed their mind.

He said to Qian Guotai, "Wait for me", and Qian Guotai immediately became excited.

Chu Xiangqian left the private room, wandered around in the corridor, went to the bathroom, and then returned to the private room with two portfolios containing 10 US dollars.

It was still on the tea table, "There is 10 US dollars in it, which can be exchanged for sapphires, jade, Tsarist Russian eggs, and Patek Philippe watches."

After Qian Guotai heard this, not only was he not surprised, he was also relieved.

As long as this kid wants something, it will be easy.

You can even give him some more gems and the like and treat it as funds for him.

There are indeed polar bear Easter eggs in the mainland, but if they weren’t Fabergé eggs, I wouldn’t know about them.

As for sapphires, there are open-pit mines in Shandong Province, but the mainland seems to be unaware of them yet, and most of the sapphires in Shandong Province look a bit dark under natural light.

That is to say, the blue color is too much, so the price has never been high.

But there are indeed top quality ones inside, and they are quite big.

As for jade, you can easily import large quantities of top-quality jade from Myanmar, and it’s not very valuable.

After all, jade is basically liked by people in China.

When the people are not rich and Europeans and Americans don't like it very much, it is difficult to maintain the price of jadeite during the Republic of China, let alone to buy it.

Qian Guotai opened the two portfolios and after confirming that it was really US$10, he agreed without thinking.

Then he asked doubtfully, "Go forward, are you in contact with people from foreign intelligence agencies, or even want to obtain any information from them?"

Chu shrugged forward, "Don't worry about this. Anyway, what I want must be good and fast. I have to go to London in a few days."

When Qian Guotai heard this, he nodded quickly, "I'll contact my superiors when I get back. If it's fast, I can airlift it to Nanguang the day after tomorrow.

But what do you want a Patek Philippe watch for? "

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Qian Guotai. He couldn't say that although this brand is not very famous now, in a few decades, some Patek Philippe watches from the 30s and [-]s could be sold for millions or even more. The price is tens of millions of dollars.

Besides, these watches were damaged, lost, or disappeared rather than being worn by mainland owners.

It is better to keep it for yourself and take it to Europe and the United States in the future to make money from foreigners. "Don't worry about what I do. In short, I only want good things. Maybe at some point, a watch can be exchanged for some incredible information. Or it can lead to a big business."

Qian Guotai secretly thought that this kid's ways were getting more and more wild now, and he even wanted to persuade him to take it easy.

"I said, are you being too high-profile? This is very detrimental to intelligence personnel."

"No, who said I was an intelligence agent?" Chu Qianqian chuckled, "When I left the capital, the big boss made it clear that I was not part of the system.

So, as a businessman, what’s the problem with making more money? "

Qian Guotai suddenly had nothing to say. The big boss had also told him about this, but this time Chu Xiangqian got the layout of the military port of the Yingguo people on Hong Kong Island and the records of the ships entering and exiting.

He also took out the intelligence that the Americans had actually sent troops into South Vietnam, making him mistakenly believe that Chu Xiangqian was already an intelligence agent.

"Forget it, you know what's going on with you, so I'll just be the messenger."

After speaking, Qian Guotai showed a smile on his face and took out a list while saying, "The medicinal materials have arrived in Nanguang, and we have also found a reasonable way to transport them in.

After the things you want are delivered the day after tomorrow, just take this batch of medicinal materials together. "

Chu Qianqian took the list, glanced at it, and instantly felt dizzy.

This is a very small part of the hundreds of Chinese medicinal materials. If they were all prepared, there would be at least three to five thousand types.

This batch of shipped medicinal materials are all commonly used medicinal materials, and are worth a full 40 Celestial Bi, which can be regarded as offsetting the first batch of food sent to the mainland.

Chu Qianqian put away the list and said, "When the goods arrive, I will ask the driver to pick them up."

Qian Guotai's heart moved, and he secretly thought that this was the first time that Chu Xiangqian let his people come into contact with mainland affairs.

After the two separated, Chu Qianqian asked Ti Que to escort Qian Guotai back safely, and then he regained his attention.

Two days passed by. After Chu Xiangqian received a call from Qian Guotai, he ordered Zhang Tianzhi to go to the New Territories to pick up the batch of medicinal materials and transport them back to warehouse No. 20 at Kwai Chung Pier.

He came to the private room of the Palace Theater again.

Qian Guotai pressed against the wall nervously, listening to the movements in the private rooms on the left and right, and then asked in confusion, "Why do you want to meet here again?"

Chu shrugged forward, "I plan to find an opportunity to buy this theater and use it as the leading theater of my theater chain."

Qian Guotai was stunned. Although this large theater located in North Point was not the most prosperous area, there were quite a lot of people living around it.

And since it was built in 52, it has always been a sacred place for opera troupes at home and abroad to perform. Even the mainland sent a folk performing arts troupe to perform here in 56.

People would be stupid to sell this cornucopia.

Chu Qianqian smiled. After his last contact with Cao Dahua, the old man still didn't listen to his advice.

Not only did I take on the role of 'Gambler', I also went to Macau a few days ago.

He heard that he had won a lot, but Chu Xiangqian knew that this theater might be sold in a few years, or even within a year or two.

"Okay, business matters are not as simple as you think. This theater will definitely have to change hands soon."

Qian Guotai was surprised again, but after several inquiries, Chu Xiangqian refused to tell him what was going on.

He could only sigh and put a suitcase he had brought with him on the table.

When he opened it, Chu was so shaken that his eyes narrowed.

Among the three eggs, the first one is inlaid with diamonds both inside and outside, the second one is inlaid with hundreds of rubies, and the third one is completely inlaid with sapphires, making it a completely blue egg.

Chu Xiangqian curiously reached out and picked up the Easter egg, and heard Qian Guotai say, "Although these three eggs are not the Easter eggs ordered by the Czar from the Faberge factory.

But the mining giant Alexander Kerch's family is also considered a celebrity. They only ordered a total of 7 eggs from the Faberge factory. Their actual value is more precious than many Easter eggs used as gifts by the tsar and given to European royal families.

We asked someone to ask, and these three Easter eggs were sent to Europe for auction, with each worth at least US$5. "

Chu Xiangqian had no doubts about this. Ever since the Tsar's eggs were publicly displayed for the first time at the Paris World's Fair in 1900, this kind of jewelry has become a craze in Europe and the United States.

They say it costs 5 US dollars a piece, but I actually took advantage of it.

Chu Xiangqian believed that as long as he was sure that these three Easter eggs were ordered by the Kelci family and auctioned them in London, they could easily sell them for 5 pounds.

It can be said that all Easter eggs produced by Faberge factories have always been sought after collections in Europe and the United States.

And the quantity is extremely small. In a few years or ten years, it is rare for one to appear in the auction house.

Most of them are basically exchanged with each other in private, so as not to let the outside world know who has this thing in their hands, and they will be targeted by thieves and powerful people in the future.

If this thing gets into Chu Qianqian's hands, it will definitely become a collection.

Seeing that he was satisfied, Qian Guotai couldn't help but smile on his face, "Go forward, part of these three Easter eggs will be offset by 10 US dollars, and part of them will be used as your funds. Is that okay?"

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the value of these three Easter eggs in China should also be known, which was much higher than 15 US dollars.

"Okay, okay, these three coins are worth 30 US dollars."

Qian Guotai's face was overjoyed, but after all, domestic sources of information were limited, and he still didn't understand the foreign collectibles market.

Chu Xiangqian thought it was worth 15 pounds, or 60 US dollars, but Qian Guotai and the others thought it was worth between 20 and 25 at most.

Now that Chu Xiangqian quoted 30 yuan, Qian Guotai naturally felt that he had taken advantage.

Chu Xiangqian ignored him, put down the sapphire egg in his hand, looked at the two pieces of jade, and looked up at Qian Guotai in surprise again.

Red, green, and purple jadeite is originally extremely rare. Judging from the water level, and it is at least ice type, it is even more rare.

He was willing to give this thing to himself. It seemed like he was rewarded with two pieces of information he had reported.

The other piece of jadeite is a complete set of earrings, bracelets and pendants filled with green glass.

The full green glass is naturally the best, but it is not considered a treasure these days, let alone one that can reach the level of a museum collection.

But the price is indeed not cheap.

The last four Patek Philippe watches are actually all set with diamonds.
