The spy career of a surgeon

Chapter 226 Forced Buying

"It's not really dissatisfaction. We have no grievances, but what I say next may make Mr. Sassoon dissatisfied. Therefore, Mr. Sassoon can adapt to it in advance."

Zhou Qinghe's arrogance made Sassoon very uncomfortable and uncomfortable. These words were so disrespectful.

"It is rumored that Dr. Fujita has high medical skills and good medical ethics, but when we meet today, his attitude is a bit too bad, right?"

"I'm attracted to the view from this rooftop. Will Mr. Sassoon sell it?"

"Not for sale."

"Look, wouldn't this be unpleasant?"

Zhou Qinghe shrugged and smiled: "I heard from the Qinggang people that the top floor of the Chinachem Hotel is Mr. Sassoon's private residence, and I have always liked this place very much. Our conflicts are inevitable."

"Is this why you are dissatisfied with me?" Sassoon was surprised, but then smiled in relief.

The key is that confusing conflicts make people very uncomfortable, but when things happen for a reason, they are easier to understand.

"Why do you have to buy this place?"

"because I like it."

"But I'm not ready to sell."

"But I want to buy it."

Sassoon laughed, simply sat down, tilted his lame leg and said: "If I don't sell it, how can Mr. Fujita buy it?"

"You will sell it." Zhou Qinghe said affirmatively.

Sassoon shook his head: "Mr. Fujita is really insistent. If so, let me ask how much you plan to spend to buy this building."

"One hundred thousand."

"How much?" Sassoon thought he was hallucinating.

"One hundred thousand yen, I brought the money." Zhou Qinghe raised his hand to the men behind him, and the box containing one hundred thousand yen from Golden Velvet was brought up by his men.

The military police bodyguard opened the box very forcefully. This 100,000 yen was not a small amount in the past. It was enough to pay 10,000 Japanese soldiers a month's salary.

But today, that's just a hair.

"Ha, hahahaha." Sassoon saw Zhou Qing and his men looking serious and laughed out of shock: "Mr. Fujita, you know how to joke."

"I'm not kidding you, one hundred thousand yen, can I sell it?"

"Do you think I can sell it?"

Sassoon suppressed his smile and his face became cold: "I spent 760 million oceans on this building. Today it is worth at least 1200 million oceans. You want to take away 10 yen? Mr. Fujita, this joke is not funny. You Is that too disrespectful? If so, you can leave."

"Don't worry, money is different. Someone else's one hundred thousand is one hundred thousand, but my one hundred thousand is worth ten million or twenty million."

Zhou Qinghe told: "The Sassoon family has many properties in Shanghai. This Sassoon firm must have made a lot of money when the Chinese government took charge of Shanghai.

But now times have changed. This is the Japanese Shanghai, my Shanghai.

I can tell Mr. Sassoon that we are gradually opening up all of Shanghai, and Shanghai's prosperity will soon begin a new round of growth.

If Mr. Sassoon's family wants to continue to make money in Shanghai, it must obtain our consent, my consent.

I’ve finished my words. One hundred thousand, will you sell it? "

Blatant robbery, this is forced!

Sassoon glared: "Just you?"

Zhou Qinghe nodded in affirmation: "Yes, it's just me. I am in charge of the gendarmerie. All goods coming in and out of Shanghai need to be reviewed by my gendarmerie. Without my consent, no materials from your Sassoon Company can be circulated. .”

"Are you threatening me?" Sassoon was instantly furious: "You think you, a military police captain, can decide anything? You don't even look at who is standing downstairs?

It's the Marine Corps of the British Empire! "

If you dare to seize my goods for no reason, do you believe that I can get the British Empire to directly negotiate with your Japanese high-level officials, so that you, the military police captain, can be replaced the next day? ! "

"Then go ahead."

Zhou Qinghe sneered with an indifferent expression: "Don't say I don't believe you can replace me. Even if you replace me, the military police are my people from top to bottom. Do you think you can succeed?

Compared with my influence in the country, since I dare to visit you, this is the will of the Military Police Headquarters!

I can tell you clearly, I have thought up the reasons for you.

Any cargo may cause safety risks. Your Sassoon & Co.'s cargo was found to be infected with the virus when it arrived at the port, which caused a great hidden danger to Shanghai's safety and required slow safety inspections at the dock.

It's useless even if you go to the British Consulate about this matter.

Did we do something wrong? I'm not holding it back, I'm just checking it. What's wrong? "

"You are so shameless." Sassoon's chest heaved with anger, his face full of anger.

It can only be said that the good mood of this day was completely ruined after the Japanese came to visit me.

Zhou Qinghe smiled lightly and smoothed his suit: "So I said it when I came here. I'm afraid the following conversation will make you uncomfortable, Mr. Sassoon. You need to adapt in advance. I have said it before. Look. Mr. Sassoon still doesn’t feel comfortable with it.”

Arrogant and domineering, he still has a polite smile on the outside.

How abominable!

Sassoon swore that he was really angry. He had not encountered such a person for many years since the Sassoon family became famous.

Only the Sassoon family has always bullied others, and there is no reason to be bullied by others!

Not since he took over the family, not even once!

In fact, he originally welcomed Zhou Qinghe's arrival. Even when Zhou Qinghe wanted to buy his building, he was willing to sell it.

Businessmen are extremely sensitive to the situation. The Japanese are arrogant, especially when they directly occupy all the territory east and west of the Suzhou River during the war. This behavior sends extremely dangerous signals.

There is no guarantee that one day the Japanese will even occupy this part of the Bund.

Asset-heavy industries really cannot withstand this kind of torment. Once occupied or destroyed, all investment will be lost, and the Japanese will definitely not pay it back.

Judging from the performance of the British Empire after the Songhu War, the British Empire did not respond at all to the lack of compensation for the buildings that were occupied and destroyed by the Japanese army during the war.

They talk about asking for compensation, but in fact there is no concrete action to support it, it is just a protest.

The empire weakened.

So he is actually willing to sell the building.

If he said he didn't agree, he just wanted to raise the price. The more Zhou Qinghe wanted it, the less he wanted to sell it. This was a normal business practice.

Who knew that Zhou Qinghe was not prepared to spend any money, so he came directly to grab it.

It's really abominable!

He even had thoughts of killing Zhou Qinghe!

"Don't keep me waiting too long, Mr. Sassoon, I have something to do later." Zhou Qinghe did not give this rich man any face.

"Not for sale." Sassoon glared with a cold light in his eyes.

No matter from the perspective of the glory of the Sassoon family or from the perspective of self-esteem, it is impossible for him to accept such forced purchase and coercion!

"Mr. Sassoon's choice is not rational. I'm sorry that you wasted my time. Come to me again when you think about it clearly. But by then, it won't be at this price."

Zhou Qinghe turned around and left. After taking two steps, he turned around and reminded: "By the way, Mr. Sassoon, I am very sensitive to unkind eyes. I don't like the look in your eyes. I remind you not to do stupid things."

After Zhou Qinghe finished speaking, he left, leaving Sassoon to look at his back and slam the red wine glass on the ground.

"We'll see, Japanese pig."

Zhou Qinghe went home immediately.

To be honest, he felt that Sassoon was a little irrational. He thought he could successfully take over the building today. It seemed that this man had been arrogant for a long time and it was really hard for him to swallow.

It doesn't matter, time will teach him how to behave.

Zhou Qinghe didn't plan to devote all his energy to dealing with Sassoon. First, he didn't have time. He was very busy and had many things to deal with.

Secondly, in Shanghai now, with the army on his side and the Youth Gang in his hands, it is not too difficult to control someone between the black and white factions.

Let's wait for the wedding. Before the wedding, he will send out invitations to famous businessmen all over Shanghai. I believe there will be traitors who will take the initiative to help him deal with Sassoon.

Dog bites dog, that’s pretty cool too. "Go find Liu Kai and tell him to send a report to Chongqing. Just say that you found the thing and ask what to do."

Zhou Qinghe ordered Liu Qi.

This post is not an ordinary thing. The principal may have to read it in person before he can feel at ease. Zhou Qinghe cannot destroy it without authorization. He should ask Boss Dai before deciding.

"Yes, I'll go later."

"Don't let him go yet. Things are not finished yet. Just feed him and keep him alive."

Zhou Qinghe had to wait until the golden velvet was poisoned before he could be released.

When the time comes, I will have to scold Tojo Akio and let him take the blame.

"Yes."

When the car returned home, it saw two cars waiting in front of the house. When they saw Zhou Qinghe's vehicle, the people in the car got out.

The suit is straight and he has a smiling face: "Captain Fujita, Captain Fujita."

Su Xiyun greeted Zhou Qinghe and asked him to come in and talk.

The Fujita Mansion was difficult to enter, Su Xiyun finally understood. It was protected by eight Japanese military police, and he, the appointed mayor, could only wait at the door.

"What do you want from me?" Zhou Qinghe asked someone to serve him a cup of tea.

Su Xiyun said with a smile: "I have something to discuss with Captain Fujita today."

Su Xiyun then told him that the housekeeper of Du Yuesheng's family came to him and asked him to save people.

"Captain Fujita, this is what I think. Now that the city government has opened, developing Shanghai's economy is the top priority.

Now that Mr. Du has left, keeping his family will only make the businessmen in the concession think that we Japanese have some tricks. What, if we go too far, it will easily scare them. "

Su Xiyun said with a smile: "So I think for the sake of economy, it's better to let it go."

"Are you afraid that if Du Yuesheng comes back for the sake of his family, you will no longer have the position of mayor, right?" Zhou Qinghe looked at him with a meaningful smile.

Su Xiyun didn't hide it either: "I really can't hide anything from you. I heard that Du Yuesheng's matter was led by Major Tojo, so it's really not convenient for me to go to Major Tojo about this matter.

But the main reason is not this, but that you are the superior of Major Tojo. The Du family is willing to pay 100,000 yen as a favor. I thought of course I have to come to you to talk about this. It is only reasonable for you to take this money. I also In addition, I asked them to prepare three high-quality antiques, please take a look."

Why another hundred thousand?

A bit stingy.

But the starting point is already there, Zhou Qinghe wants to go one step further.

"Have you told the consulate about this?"

"They didn't talk about the money, but I asked for their opinions. They meant that Du Yuesheng would definitely not come back. It would actually be a good thing if he could be released in exchange for some support from the Du family in the concession.

Captain Fujita and Du Yuesheng are no longer here, but Du Yuesheng is very capable in Shanghai. Du Yuesheng is good at charity and has a wide network of contacts. Many people not only owe him face, but also owe him money.

Under mobilization, Du Yuesheng himself was not in Shanghai, so something could be done. Killing his family was indeed not a wise move. "

Su Xiyun wasted no time in talking, and was deeply afraid that Zhou Qinghe would not agree.

Zhou Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "You can release him if you want. One hundred thousand yen is not enough. Since Du Yuesheng is so rich, only one hundred thousand is too cheap for him. Tell him to prepare three hundred thousand yen. When the money arrives, I will arrange it." Let him go."

"This" Su Xiyun looked slightly embarrassed, mainly because three hundred thousand yen was not a small amount, but he still nodded: "I'll talk, I'll ask right away."

Zhou Qinghe vividly demonstrated the greed and coercion of the Japanese: "Don't let me down, Mayor Su."

"Hi, hi."

Su Xiyun left the Fujita mansion and called the Du family who were waiting for news.

Du Yuesheng's butler was named Wan Molin. He received a call from Su Xiyun asking for a price increase, but he was actually prepared for it.

As long as they can be released, money is not a problem. The problem is that the money given to the Japanese cannot be given too freely, so after a lot of bargaining, you have to rack your brains to raise money.

It was not so quick to give it to Zhou Qinghe.

On the other side, Chongqing.

When the telegram arrived, Boss Dai had already gone home to rest.

But Zhou Qinghe's telegram was of the highest level and was delivered to his door by a special person. Boss Dai had to get up to read it even if he was in bed with a woman.

“I’ve got it, what to do with it?”

The seven words were enough to make Boss Dai's lips raise with joy.

It was Zhou Qinghe who would handle the matter, and the priority of this matter was clearly understood.

I immediately picked up the phone and called the principal. He couldn't sleep, so the principal couldn't sleep either.

"Yunong, it's midnight, you don't want me to sleep, do you?" There was still some dissatisfaction in the principal's words.

If you receive a phone call in the middle of the night, nine and a half out of ten calls will not be good news.

"Principal, there is something important." Boss Dai said calmly: "The thing you want has already been in the hands of the person who should have it. You have to make your own decision on how to deal with it."

"Oh?" The principal's mood immediately rose: "Of course it will be destroyed. Why keep it like this? Waiting to enter the museum? Wait, you'd better ask him to send it to me."

"Yes, I will explain."

"Okay, Yu Nong, you are doing a good job. I have recently intended to integrate some departments and expand some departments. In order to cope with future situations, I feel that this unit is still too small. Intelligence warfare plays an irreplaceable role in war. There may be some changes in your position by then.”

"Yunong listen to the principal."

Boss Dai's heart moved. He had actually heard that the personnel of the Ministry of National Defense were going to change, and some people in the party would also make adjustments.

This matter is still under discussion. After all, the family has a big business, there are many people, and there are many opinions, so there is no definite decision yet.

But with the principal's guarantee, it's a sure thing for him.

This is because of Zhou Qinghe.

Blessed general.

"Send it over as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"You also need to encourage him more. It's not easy for him when he's alone."

"It's all for the party and the country, and we are not afraid of sacrifice."

"it is good!"

On the second day, Zhou Qinghe went to the military police headquarters.

Reading newspapers on the road, the latest newspapers are also very interesting.

A few days ago, Zhang Xiaolin, the leader of the Youth Gang, took the initiative to promote that he had defected to the Japanese. This incident of course caused a sensation among everyone in the concession.

After Zhang Xiaolin expressed his position, reporters from various countries were very curious about how other businessmen or some more prestigious literati would view this matter. This was hot news and could help the newspaper sell well.

Therefore, newspapers these days publish the opinions of many celebrities, some are abusive, some are ambiguous, and of course some are flattering.

Zhou Qinghe was selecting targets for the upcoming assassination mission. How to select candidates? With so many merchants in the concession, it was difficult to decide who was a traitor and who was a loyal person.

Now, hey, they all jumped out on their own initiative.

Save a lot of investigative energy.

If you dance happily, invite him over first, give him a small gift for his wedding, and test your inner thoughts. If there is no problem, execute the shooting. This will be foolproof.

Returning to the Military Police Headquarters, when going upstairs, I heard some civilians smoking and laughing and chatting next to the building. After hearing the words "Golden Velvet", Zhou Qinghe paused and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"Sir." The clerk stood at attention respectfully, and then said with a smile: "We also heard that last night, the Qing Gang's Golden Velvet family got food poisoning, and they were all sent to the hospital for treatment.

The doctor's steps slipped while he was carrying Huang Jinzhu, and the stretcher fell down the stairs, knocking Huang Jinzong to the ground on the back of his head. He is still unconscious in the hospital. "
