Chapter 457 Songjiang Movie Teahouse

Chapter 457 Songjiang Movie Teahouse
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the lanterns of Binjiang County outside Daowai started to light up.

Zhengyang Sandao Street is close to the south bank of Songjiang River. All the men, women and children on the street are in a hurry and want to go home for dinner.

The merchants and hawkers shouted even harder.

"The stall is closed, the stall is closed, there are still two rolls of vermicelli left, if you give me money, sell them, if you give me money, sell them!"

After walking through the hustle and bustle of the city, Jiang Lianheng and others arrived at Songjiang Movie Tea House on time.

Looking up, it's still the same. There are not many customers left in the teahouse downstairs. The light and shadow in the window on the second floor are changing, and it seems that a movie is still being shown.

As soon as they entered the store, Lin Qi quickly came over to greet them.

"Oh, Huzi, this is such a coincidence. I didn't expect our bosses to know each other!"

He first said hello to Chuanghu and Xifeng, then tilted his head and grinned: "Is this Boss Jiang? Come in quickly, come in quickly, Mr. Fan Sibai is already waiting for you in the private room."

Because of the relationship between Chuanghu and Chuanghu, the two parties talked on the phone in advance. Although they had not met in person, they had heard about it a little bit.

As soon as the words came to his lips, Jiang Lianheng suddenly raised his hand to interrupt.

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Lianheng's heart immediately dropped to the ground.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Fan, there's something I need to ask clearly before we can continue talking. I'm a mixed-minded person, and if I don't ask for pragmatism, we can't cooperate."

Fan Sibai was a little confused, nodded and said, "Excuse me."

"Yes, yes, you are all Huzi's friends, right? Then they are all my friends. Go upstairs, let me treat you to a movie show!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi immediately became energetic.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm glad you can come, but -" Fan Sibai suddenly took a step forward and lowered his voice and said, "It's best not to let too many people know about this kind of cooperation between us. It's not good. ”

It's hard to refuse such hospitality. Lin Qi also really loves this industry. As long as she has free time, she won't talk about movies. She immediately invited Xue Yingqing and others to the second floor. They arranged a table, nut snacks, cigarettes and tea, and greeted them all. I highly recommend movies to everyone.

Jiang Lianheng waved his hand, but said: "These are my family members, but don't worry, they will not participate in the meeting between us."

Although he was always smiling, there was still a bit of hesitation on his face when he saw such a large group of people.

The little follower named Yu is inquisitive and loves to gossip. He is also an employee of the "Big Bearded Gang" loan company. After thinking about it, he is the only one who is most likely to pass the news to Fan Sibai, who is also a Jew. .

At this time, Fan Sibai also walked out of the private room and shook hands with everyone one by one.

"Did you find out about me from a young man named Yu?"

Even if "Ghost Pai Men" has an online presence, no matter how fast the news spreads, it will not reach the ears of foreigners in just one day.

It has only been three days since Jiang Lian came to Harbin.

As soon as the door was closed, the light was not turned on, and only the dim light from the window made the elegant room fall silent for an instant.

From the moment he walked out of the train station, the only local people he had seen and interacted with the most were Lao Qian'er and that little follower.

In the lobby, Jiang Lianheng exchanged polite greetings with Fan Sibai, and then walked into the private rooms one after another and sat down.

Jiang Lianheng led people into the house, and six people entered the store. The lobby suddenly became more popular.

He didn't need to answer, because Fan Sibai's stunned look had already confirmed his guess.

After pouring two cups of tea, Fan Sibai took the lead and said: "Since Mr. Jiang has decided to come here, he must be willing to cooperate. I can first introduce to you the resources at my disposal——"

"I guess you have been looking for opportunities recently and want to cooperate with well-informed Chinese, so you are buying information everywhere. That boy named Yu knew that you were looking for someone to cooperate, so he sold my information to you, isn't that so? ?”

Fan Sibai was noncommittal and was stunned for a moment, but then suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Jiang, you are my ideal partner!"

"Don't compliment me." Jiang Lian waved his hand, "I just want to confirm the situation."

Fan Sibai nodded: "I understand very well."

"One more thing, how long have you been in the Far East?"

“It’s not even half a year, so I’m anxious to build relationships here.”

Jiang Lianheng pushed the teacup aside, raised his elbows, leaned forward, and asked, "How many people have you worked with in Harbin?"

Fan Sibai replied helplessly: "There are many people who have done business, but there are no truly reliable friends yet."

"Then... there is a Zhan in Shuangcheng Mansion. Have you ever cooperated with Zhang Quanxiang?"

Fan Sibai looked confused and said, "I haven't heard of this person. Should I hear of him?"

Jiang Lianheng shook his head with a smile and said, "That's not necessary. I'm just asking casually. Now tell me, how many connections do you have at your disposal... Well, that's what you call resources."

Immediately, Fan Sibai briefly introduced his situation.

As an intelligence officer of the Allied Far East Intelligence Bureau, he had certain contacts with intelligence personnel from Britain and France, and also had many connections in the consulates. What he lacked was the intelligence network of the local Far East, especially the external propaganda forces.

After hearing this, Jiang Lianheng frowned and asked, "Um...is Xiaodongyang considered an Allied Power?"

"Of course." Fan Sibai blurted out, "They have great ambitions for the three northeastern provinces, and everyone can see it. I believe that Fengzhang Group will also be very interested in their information. I am a professional, and as long as the reward is There's enough information about the Japanese. "How much does it cost?"

"It depends on the situation. Different information has different prices, of course, but I don't want our cooperation to be limited to buying and selling. If possible, I hope we can share, or exchange."

"You want to get information about Lao Zhang from me?" Jiang Lian was delighted.

Fan Sibai asked with some confusion: "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Jiang Lianheng thought carefully for a moment, then said: "I'm different from you. I'm not just for money, I also have to die. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong, Mr. Jiang. I just want to know the Fengzhang Group's views on the rebels in the north. This is also the most important task of the Far East Intelligence Agency."

Jiang Lian smacked his lips, showing some hesitation, and then said, "Let's start with the business first. I want the little devil's information even more."

Fan Sibai gestured as usual and said, "Of course, trust takes time to develop. If you have information about the Oriental people, you can sell it to me. My price is very fair."

"You're quite happy, so there seems to be nothing to talk about."

The process of talks and cooperation was far smoother than Jiang Lianheng expected.

Unexpectedly, Fan Sibai said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Jiang, there is another very important thing. If we want to establish cooperation, it is best to have one...one..."

"You need a cover?" Jiang Lianheng asked, "Hide it from others? Make it difficult for others to find out?"

"Yes, yes, that's what I mean."

Fan Sibai nodded repeatedly, then quickly lowered his voice and said: "Intelligence is valuable only if it is kept secret, but Harbin is no longer safe. There are spies everywhere. I can tell you clearly that among the top officials of the three provinces outside the customs, All the telegram exchanges were monitored by the Japanese."

"I understand, find a regular person to connect with."

"It's best to have secret messages that are unique between us. Of course, these can be discussed slowly."

Jiang Lianheng subconsciously thought of the spring point incision, but when he thought about it again, he felt that it was inappropriate. The online Lao He was all familiar with the spring point, and there was no secret text at all.

"This matter... I'll go back and think about it carefully. If we meet again, will we still be in this teahouse?" He stood up and asked.

Fan Sibai also walked to the door of the private room and said, "As long as you want, you can go anywhere. If you want to meet here, you can call Manager Lin first."

At this point, Jiang Lianheng suddenly remembered that Chuang Hu once said that Lin Qizhao, nicknamed "Wu Mingjuan", was not only a half-proficient shadow actor, but his best skill was to imitate people's speech, and he was quite good at conveying it. I don’t know if he has any real ability.

While talking, the two of them walked out of the private room one after another.

Jiang Lianheng stood at the top of the stairs and shouted twice at the top of his lungs, but received no response. He shouted twice more, but heard several people reply at the same time:

"Wait a minute, boss, come up and have a look, it's very interesting!"

Absolutely outrageous!

Fan Sibai asked from behind: "Mr. Jiang, since you are here, would you like to go upstairs and take a look?"

Jiang Lianheng walked up the stairs with a frown.

Like Xifeng, his impression of movies was only newsreels like "The Russo-Japanese War at Port Arthur", and he didn't find it very interesting after watching too many movies.

But as soon as they entered the tea hall on the second floor, they saw Xue Yingqing and others sitting around the tea table with their backs to the door, their necks raised, motionless, all staring straight at the shadow play on the curtain, their postures like a picture silhouette.

On the intertwined curtain of light and shadow, a foreign devil wearing a cowboy hat and holding a Colt was confronting another foreign devil indoors.

The characters move very quickly.

The screen trembled slightly, and a few lines of foreign subtitles flashed from time to time. In a blink of an eye, one of the foreign devils fell down.

"What are you looking at?"

In just a few pictures, Jiang Lian Hengli was immediately attracted.

Li Zhengxi turned his face, raised his finger and pointed at the curtain, saying, "Brother, this is the American beard you mentioned before, right? Hengbang'er, where is Jie Dao'er!"

"That's the Western Cowboy!" Lin Qi hurriedly moved two chairs and introduced smoothly, "Boss Jiang, please take a seat! This is "The Great Train Robbery", an American movie, about ten minutes, counting this time, I I’ve watched it more than seventy times!”

Jiang Lianheng sat down at another tea table, his eyes never leaving the curtain, but he said: "This is more exciting than the movie Lao Qian took us to watch!"

Xue Yingqing responded without looking back: "The one just now is prettier than this one, Manager Lin, what is that called?"

"My name is Fo Lan... just wait a minute. That name is too convoluted. Shopkeeper Xue likes to read it. I'll have someone play it for you later."

"Is it "Frankenstein"?" Fan Sibai asked casually.

"Yes, yes, it's that movie." Lin Qi nodded quickly, and then explained to everyone, "Actually, these two are old movies."

Xue Yingqing and others didn't care about any new or old movies, they just focused on looking at the pictures on the screen.

Fan Sibai was sitting next to him. Seeing that Jiang Lianheng also looked fascinated, he couldn't help but gesture and suggest:

"Mr. Jiang, are you interested in movies? I have a way to help you get the film sources and send them to Fengtian. After the war is over, there will definitely be more and more new movies. This is a business opportunity, and -"

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice: "For our cooperation, we can try to use film... Do you understand what I mean?"
