The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 519: The Japanese Navy Line

"You want to meet with Kaneno Hiroshi?"

"Well, I want to try and see if I can find a source of intelligence in the Japanese Navy?" Cheng Mo nodded.

"I'm afraid this is difficult. Do you know Jin Yehong?"

"I have someone investigate him, and I also asked Mr. Nakamura to help me investigate his background in Japan." Cheng Mo explained, "The Japanese Navy is known as the best in Asia and the third in the world. They have long been dissatisfied with the army's conquest of cities. Therefore, the outbreak of the next war will inevitably be led by the Japanese Navy. Therefore, we must pay attention to the intelligence of the Japanese Navy."

"If you have this idea, why don't you report it in advance?"

"I'm here to report to you."

Wen Qiu looked helpless: "You are not reporting at all, you are acting first and reporting later."

"I haven't even contacted Jin Yehong yet, how come you acted without authorization?" Cheng Mo blinked and muttered in dissatisfaction.

"You are going to meet Jin Yehong tomorrow. How do you want me to report to my superiors and get instructions in such a short time?" Wen Qiu glared at him angrily.

"It's our first meeting. What else can I say? Just get in touch."

This time Wen Qiu did not refute, because it made sense. After all, when working in enemy-occupied areas, it was impossible to rely on instructions for everything. By the time the order came down from the superiors, it would be too late. Sometimes, an idea suddenly pops into your mind, so you just do it without thinking too much.

Without the ability to respond on the spot, it is impossible to do underground intelligence work well.

"Are you going alone?"

"Take Lu Le with you. He has been secretly investigating Jin Yehong these past few days." Cheng Mo said, "I can't take away his credit."

"Well, when will Qin Chi go to work in the political department?"

"This requires a procedure, especially from the security unit to the political unit, especially a transfer of an investigation target, and it is across districts, which is a bit cumbersome."

"That's just a matter of your words. If you really cared about it, you would have left long ago."

"I just don't want Qin Chi and the outside world to see that I favor him." Cheng Mo explained, "Don't worry, I'm always paying attention to it. Nothing will go wrong. Claire is willing to help. I'm just transferring an investigator to help. He's not at the level of a chief inspector. Robertson won't stop me."

"Well, your sister has transferred another sum of money into the rental company's account. What do you plan to do with this money?" Wen Qiu asked.

"We will acquire Xiangsheng and secretly acquire and control any taxi company controlled by the British and Americans," Cheng Mo said. "From now on, I will slowly take over the industries left behind by the British and Americans."

"Are they preparing to evacuate?"

"Now we are just making preparations, but I feel that they have realized that it is better to hand over these industries to me rather than let them fall into the hands of the Japanese."

"Do they trust you that much?"

"Because they have leverage over me and I also hold a British passport, there is no benefit for me in betraying them," Cheng Mo said.

"Okay, I understand." Wen Qiu nodded, "But how much do we have to spend to buy it?"

“One-third of the normal share price.”

"so cheap?"

"We have an agreement. If the Japanese do not take action against the concession, if they want to buy it back in the future, the price we offer cannot be higher than one-third of the current share price."

"Then isn't this laying a hidden danger for our future?" "As long as the Japanese do not take action on the concession, the repurchase agreement will be invalid." Cheng Mo explained. How could he let others take advantage of this loophole? Without this premise, he would not agree to the acquisition.

It will be troublesome if we have to file an international lawsuit in the future.

"That's fair. Is there no time limit?"

"Yes, it is valid for ten years. After ten years, they only have the right of first refusal, and they have to pay at the market price."

"Just plug all the loopholes, so that the foundation we have worked so hard to build won't be lost to others." Wen Qiu said.

"Brother, there are many ways to solve the problem. When the time comes, dilute the equity several times. It won't matter even if they buy out the part they own at a low price." Cheng Mo smiled. He just didn't want to argue with others.

"I have to be careful when doing business with you. Don't let you sell me out and then let me count the money for you." Wen Qiu smiled happily.

"Brother, I am doing business and I am honest and fair. Please don't slander me."

"Okay, you can approach this Jin Yehong, but be careful about the conversation. He is a naval intelligence officer, not an ordinary officer." Wen Qiu said, "From the fact that he often goes to places like dance halls, he is also a very sociable person. This kind of person is good at hiding himself and doesn't speak much truth."

"Don't worry, Senior Brother, I don't intend to be sincere to him."

"Go quickly, don't let Dr. Su wait for you too long." Wen Qiu immediately ordered them to leave.

……

"These clothes..." Cheng Mo asked in surprise when he returned home and saw a pile of children's clothes on the sofa in the living room.

"My sister gave it to me. Old clothes are easier to keep a child alive, and I can feel safe wearing them since they're my own children." Su Moer explained.

"That's great. Old clothes are more comfortable to wear than new ones, and they're also good for health." Cheng Mo nodded. If these children's clothes are not intended to be recycled, it would be a waste to keep them at home and eventually they would be thrown away.

Even if the family has enough money to buy clothes, it is better not to spend it if possible. Children should not be spoiled from a young age.

"I picked some, but there are some I don't like, and it's hard to return them. Amo, what do you think we should do?"

"It's easy. Tan Xiaoya and my sister-in-law are both pregnant. They are behind you. They probably need these clothes for the children too. You can divide them between the two families and give some to them."

"These are the ones we left over. Are they appropriate?"

"When their children are born, we can just buy a few new sets of clothes and send them to them." Cheng Mo laughed. This was not a difficult problem to solve.

"Yeah, that's what we'll do. My sister really doesn't want to have any more children, so she brought me all the clothes that the children at home can't wear, and even asked someone to bring some back from her hometown." Su Moer was touched but also troubled by her sister's care and love. Her children might not be able to wear these clothes, so they had to be disposed of.

"Don't clean up. Let Xiaoyu clean it up tomorrow. Let's eat first." Cheng Mo walked over and helped Su Moer up from the sofa. "We were going to have a big meal, but we didn't get to eat it. It was a waste. But it's not a loss. I made a small bet and won a few hundred dollars."

"You went gambling?"

"It's a work requirement." Cheng Mo explained.

"What kind of job requires gambling?" Su Moer asked in surprise.

"I'll explain this to you later. Let's eat first." Cheng Mo laughed. Xiaoyu was present, and there were some things he couldn't tell Su Moer.

Su Moer did not continue to ask. She and Cheng Mo both had special identities, so they could not speak too casually even at home.
