Chapter 167: The news of Chu Ze
"Sister Liying, send this telegram immediately and ask for instructions at home."
"Okay, I understand." Lan Liying took the note from Meng Fanxing's hand, glanced at it, and said in surprise, "Meimei, where did so many medicines come from?"
"Don't ask so much, I need family means that this is quite a lot of money." Meng Fanxing said.
The pharmacy downstairs is her own. Lan Liying was once her English teacher and a teacher and friend. No one can doubt their relationship when she dated Lan Liying.
"Okay, I'll code it right away." Lan Liying nodded.
...
In northern Shaanxi, a cave.
"Minister, Woodpecker Shanghai urgent telegram!" A confidential officer held a telegram in his hand and knocked on the office of the head of the intelligence department.
"Oh, how could I send me the telegram at this time?" The minister in gray cloth uniform stood up from his seat and said in surprise.
"Send a newspaper to Wuhan Eighth Office immediately..." The minister scanned the content of the telegram, showed a little shock, and immediately ordered.
...
Wuhan Eighth Office, then a telegram of instructions flew thousands of miles to Shanghai.
"Meimei, the family instructed us to strive to buy this batch of medicines. This is very necessary for our troops." Lan Liying came down from the attic with a telegram.
The attic is on the study room, and the study room has been transformed into a bedroom. The original bedroom was given to my mother, so the attic naturally became Lan Liying's study room. It is also quieter and suitable for office work.
It's summer, it's a little hotter.
"Did the family agree with our plan?"
"In principle, I agree, but it's a bit difficult to implement, especially in such a short time." Lan Liying said.
"If this time doesn't work, we can next time. As long as we make this plan detailed, it will be much easier to implement it." Meng Fanxing said.
"Well, what you said makes sense. The telegram said, let us contact the New Fourth Military Intelligence Department directly, and they will send special people to take charge of this matter." Lan Liying said.
"Then get in touch with them immediately, it's best to send someone to Shanghai."
"Meimei, our team is responsible for the important intelligence line of farmers. According to the principle of underground work, we cannot participate in the tasks of other lines to avoid the danger of exposure." Lan Liying said.
"But since our family asked us to do this, we should have considered the risks of this matter. I think it is not contradictory to put these two things together." Meng Fanxing said.
"Is the source of the medicine reliable?" Lan Liying asked.
"Reliable. I originally established Meng'an Company to smuggle drugs as cover. I have reported this to my family, otherwise I would not have agreed to be the general manager of Meng'an Company." Meng Fanxing said.
"Okay, if this drug purchase channel can be opened, it will be a great thing for our troops." Lan Liying nodded.
...
In the evening, Meng Fanxing called Lu Xiyan to the study and plotted to the story.
"The organization has agreed to this transaction, but we may not be able to make that much money at once. Moreover, even if we can make a payment, how can we complete the transaction?"
"If you go to Hong Kong, open a temporary office in Hong Kong, and open an account at HSBC in the name of the company, we can directly avoid the Japanese in Shanghai." Lu Xiyan said.
"You mean, just transfer the money directly to the bank account in Hong Kong?"
"Yes, we have thought it was wrong before. We can completely separate the medicine and money. The so-called payment is paid in one hand and delivery is the same. As long as the two parties establish a credit relationship, there is no need to be so troublesome. We can deliver the goods in Shanghai or any first place, and the money can naturally be delivered in any place." Lu Xiyan said.
As for how to ensure the safety of drugs and money, this certainly requires the trust and tacit understanding of both parties. Such a transaction model is not for ordinary customers.
Ordinary customers can't afford it because they need timely information exchange, delivery and payment must be carried out at the same time, and at least three radio stations are required to do it.
There is one in Shanghai, one in Hong Kong, and one in Shanghai when delivering the goods with them.
"Meimei, let's draw a transaction flow chart, so that it is easy to understand intuitively." Lu Xiyan took a piece of paper and first wrote the words "Shanghai", "Hong Kong" and "Freighter" on it!
"From us issuing a bill of lading and handing it to the buyer, the buyer goes to pick up the goods directly. After the seller confirms the bill of lading and the buyer, the buyer sees the goods and gets the goods. Then the buyer transfers the money in Hong Kong. We get the news that the transfer is in place, and then confirms it, notify the seller to release the transaction and completes the transaction!"
"Then don't we have to pay the goods to the seller first?"
"Of course, we will bear all the risks of the transaction. For us, if something goes wrong in that link, the loss will be considerable." Lu Xiyan said.
"Don't worry, the money will not be short."
"It doesn't matter how much we make, but Monte's money cannot be missing his." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.
"Well, I know that his profit will not be less." Meng Fanxing said.
"You go with Yan Lei, and I'll feel at ease with him to protect you." Lu Xiyan said, "In addition, it would be great if you could come back with the boat this time."
"Do you want me to come out with the first transaction?"
"Yes, some things must be confirmed in person to have a clear idea of them. What do you think?" Lu Xiyan said.
"Okay, but I want to bring someone with me?"
"You are talking about Sister Liying?" Lu Xiyan smiled slightly.
"How do you know?"
"Sister Liying works in customs and speaks better English than you. She has been to Hong Kong and is familiar with the environment and can be your guide. But after you have thought about it, what name will you ask someone to go?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Translator, if I want to open an office in Hong Kong, I have to deal with the Hong Kong and British government. How many days will I hire her to do the translator?"
"Yes, the price can be slightly higher." Lu Xiyan smiled slightly.
...
Meng Fanxing, Lan Liying and Yan Lei went there, but Lu Xiyan was still a little worried. He decided to go to Monte the next day and told the guy to go with him.
The freighter carrying medicines stops in Hong Kong. If he can go, it will be much easier for Meng Fanxing and others.
This is also an opportunity to contact drug sellers.
"Monte, what's the trading method I'm talking about?"
"This is a good method, but isn't it too complicated?" Monte frowned after hearing Lu Xiyan's plan. He preferred a simple and direct transaction model of paying money with one hand and delivering goods with the other hand.
"Mont, although this transaction method is cumbersome, it is much safer than our previous plan. Setting up a bank account in Hong Kong is more beneficial to the safety of our funds. Moreover, we do not need to bear transportation risks in this transaction model. In Shanghai, we can do a formal drug import business. What do you think?" Lu Xiyan persuaded.
"Lu, what you said seems to make some sense, but our profit?"
"Profits will only be more, not less. If they are safe and stable, our transactions can be once a month, and it will become once a month. There is no need to worry about finding buyers. We can also build a drug warehouse on a hidden island on the sea to stock up on drugs..."
"Okay, this idea is good. Lu, what did you think of it? I'll go to Hong Kong, I will definitely do this!" When Monte heard that Lu Xiyan had a long-term plan, his eyes were so excited that they glowed green.
"Business travel expenses, if you pay for the company, you can also take your Isabella to Hong Kong for a trip, just treat it as a vacation." Lu Xiyan said.
"Well, I'll go back and apply for leave right away!"
...
Although this is a painting pie for Monte, if it is really implemented according to this idea in the future, it may not be impossible.
Who can tell the future clearly? Smuggling is a business with extremely high risks. They originally needed to organize people to pick up goods at sea. When they received the goods, they also needed to find a safe route and dock to get ashore.
Even if the goods arrive ashore, there is a risk of being sealed off. Now, these risks are passed on to others, although the profit is a little less.
But the risks and investment are also reduced.
In a short period of time, let alone Monte, it is difficult for Lu Xiyan to establish a safe delivery channel, let alone that when the goods arrive on the shore, they still need to be kept in the warehouse, someone needs to be guarded, etc.
Now, the smuggled drugs are directly in the hands of sellers. They control the transaction channels and just need to send people to accompany the ship to eliminate the possibility of private transactions by sellers and buyers.
It is safer to deposit money into banks in Hong Kong.
Although transactions are very complicated and require seamless connection between the two places and three parties, and require strong control and coordination capabilities, as long as they are done in one go, they build trust with each other, and the next operation will be much easier.
That afternoon, Monte bought a flight ticket to Hong Kong the next day, and of course her Isabella, who were here in the name of vacation.
Meng Fanxing and the other two arrived in Hong Kong a day earlier than them.
...
"Zhao Lijun, even Zou Huai, has followed him. I guess Zou Huai will not easily circumvent this guy." Tan Si was a little gloating.
There are many factions within the Military Control Commission, and the power struggle is very strong. The Jiangshan Gang, the Hunan and Guangdong are the three main factions, as well as large and small groups. The only one is Dai Yunong, who controls such a spy agency.
From this we can see that Dai Yunong is not an ordinary person.
"What important task does Zhao Lijun come to Shanghai to shoulder?" Lu Xiyan asked.
"Zou Huai said that he was not very clear. However, based on his years of experience, it should be related to the fact that the Japanese have been constantly trying to win over some frustrated politicians of the Beiyang government recently. Whether it is Liang Hongzhi's reform government and Wang Kemin's autonomous regime, neither of them can take on the big responsibility. The Japanese want to win over more important people to stand up for the pseudo-government!" Tan Sidao.
"Tang Shaochuan?"
"That's right, Zou Huai said so, but he is not sure yet. After all, Tang Shaochuan lives in seclusion in the French Concession. Except for his son-in-law Zeng Deguang who is closer to the Japanese, he is currently only in business and has not accepted a false post. He himself is also living in seclusion and has no outspoken remarks." Tan Sidao.
Lu Xiyan nodded.
The Political Department of the Law Catching House has closely monitored the Tang Mansion, which has already explained the problem.
"Also, Zou Huai also said that before the Japanese army occupied Nanjing, Tang Shaochuan had been ordered to secretly mediate negotiations with Japan, hoping to peacefully resolve the Sino-Japanese dispute, but all this effort was futile." Tan Sidao.
"Fourth brother, is there any news about Chu Ze?"
"Well, this is my main purpose of asking Mr. to come out today." Tan Si said, "There is news from Chu Ze. He found out about the descendants of the military advisor from a brother-in-law. There was another group of people looking for descendants of the military advisor, which was one step ahead of him."
"Before than Chu Ze, who is it?" Lu Xiyan was shocked.
"I don't know, it's also the accent in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but it's not very correct." Tan Si said, "I'm worried that Chu Ze can't handle it alone."
"Who will go?"
"I'll go, I'm with the military advisor for a long time. I know the murder of the military advisor's wife, but I didn't expect the child to survive." Tan Si said.
"You've gone, what should I do here in Shanghai?"
"Although Lao Wu is a little abilities, as long as he doesn't have a big task, he can handle it. Although Brother Ding Er talks too much, he can suppress those people." Tan Si said.
"Okay, I agree to you to go and bring your third brother with you, but it won't take you back as soon as possible. You can choose some of the people from the action team and give them to Yan Hu."
"Sir, my third brother will stay, I'm enough for me alone."
"No, you two must go together, be sure to ensure Chu Ze's safety. Also, if you find the descendants of the military advisor and make sure that they are safe, don't bring them back. Shanghai is more dangerous than Chongqing. If there is any danger, then decide!" Lu Xiyan said.
