Chapter 154 The Wolf with Empty Gloves
"Don't worry, young master, I will learn it right away if necessary." Xu Fuzhong immediately expressed his stance
"There's no rush. You'll learn when you have time. You just arrived, so take a rest first."
Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. They were here to help him take care of his business. Xu Qingyun had already thought of the arrangement for the two of them.
One is inside and one is outside.
Xu Fuzhong knew English, so he was allowed to go abroad, while Ma Xiangshun was more stable and kept him at home.
Then recruit a group of people to form the Xu family team.
"Young master, the eldest master and the second master have talked to us before coming here. Everything in Nanjing will be your priority. We don't need to rest. If there is anything we need to do, you can just give it."
Ma Xiangshun took the initiative and said that they had indeed been called to talk before coming.
The Xu family has great achievements, but there are also hidden dangers. In the past, many people were lost following Mr. Sun, so that now there are very few men, and the entire younger generation of the Xu family only has two brothers, Xu Qingyun.
Both of them developed in Nanjing.
It can be said that the two of them are the entire future of the Xu family.
Nowadays, Xu Qingyun's development is obviously better than that of Xu Qingshi. Although he is a spy, he mainly deals with the outside world, not the inside.
Xu Qingyun has been catching Japanese people, which makes the two elders of the Xu family most gratified.
They are not country squires who don't know anything. They have great powers as secret agents. This time Xu Qingyun was able to help Xu Qingshi transfer from Tianjin to Nanjing as deputy director. They also changed the branch to a more well-oiled branch. It is enough to see that Xu Qingyun is now of energy.
The Xu family doesn't care where Xu Qingshi works, they don't care about the common people, and they don't care about the little money.
What they want is Xu Qingshi's future development.
Nanjing is definitely stronger than Tianjin.
With Xu Qingyun's help, Xu Qingshi's development will be better in the future. The two of them support each other, both inside and outside.
Not only did they send two people this time, they also asked them to bring a lot of money.
"Master, Master, this is a bank draft, issued by Tianjin Citibank. You can withdraw money in Nanjing and Shanghai."
While talking, Ma Xiangshun took out the bank draft and handed it to Xu Qingyun.
"Thirty thousand dollars?"
Seeing the amount, Xu Qingyun was slightly startled. The money sent to him by his family was indeed a lot. He had robbed so many traitor's homes, but only got 40,000 US dollars. His family gave him 30,000 US dollars at once.
The Xu family is very big. Thirty thousand is a lot, but not much to them.
Not to mention 30,000, there are even 100,000.
It’s just that I won’t give Xu Qingyun too much money at once.
"Young master, the elder said that if you want to do business, you must have sufficient capital. No matter what business you do, the Xu family will take care of it for you, so you don't have to be afraid."
The eldest master is Xu Qingshi’s father, and the second master is Xu Qingyun’s father.
The two are brothers, and their relationship has always been very good, and they have not separated yet.
"I see."
Xu Qingyun felt a warm current in his heart, this was the support of his family.
The uncle's words are very simple, just do whatever you want, don't be afraid of compensation, if you lose, you will still have your family.
Xu Qingshi has no objection to this. The Xu family is not divided, they are equivalent to a whole.
Xu Erxi took the two of them to their residence. The house was rented and they would stay there for the time being.
The rented house is not small, enough for two people.
"Team Leader Xu, why are you here?"
The next morning, people from the Assets Group of the General Affairs Section saw Xu Qingyun entering the office and hurriedly got up.
During many previous operations, Xu Qingyun came to their place once, and the people inside recognized him.
"I'm here to ask you, has Liao Wenting's company been disposed of?"
Xu Qingyun took the initiative to ask. Liao Wenting had opened a small rickshaw company before. After he was arrested, his cash and other valuables were confiscated by Yan Ming. However, the company and the rickshaws inside were not easy to deal with directly, so they handed it over to the office. .
These things are now all on the General Affairs side.
The asset group is specifically responsible for these, including not only companies, but also various types of houses, including safe houses needed by the intelligence group, etc.
They have a lot of oil and water.
"I'll check, please wait."
Visitors did not dare to neglect him. Although Xu Qingyun had just arrived in Nanjing not long ago, he was already a celebrity in the department and a student of Xu Zhanjie. No one dared to look down upon him because he was young.
"Team Leader Xu, the better cars have been sold, and there are still more than 30 bad cars and company license plates left."
Better cars cost more people, and by deducting a few points from the sales, you can make a lot of money.
These thirty-odd bad cars either have various problems or are very old. Their selling prices are high, so others are naturally unwilling to buy them.
As for the company license, the price is too high. It is a small company and not many people want it.
"Don't sell the license plate, keep the rest of the cars."
Xu Qingyun nodded slightly. He came to ask the rickshaw company because he only came up with the idea yesterday.
After Xu Fuzhong and Ma Xiangshun arrived, he thought about what other business he could do besides luxury goods, preferably business that would be helpful to his work.
He soon thought of one thing, a rickshaw company.
Rickshaws are similar to taxis in later generations. They shuttle through the streets and alleys and meet a lot of people.
If there is a rickshaw company, it means they have a lot more informants.
Liao Wenting's company has a license, but unfortunately its scale is not large.
It doesn't matter the size, they are military intelligence and can expand their licenses and get more cars.
However, Xu Qingyun has no intention of doing this business himself. The rickshaw company makes money, just like the taxi companies of later generations. Before online ride-hailing, they can be said to have made a lot of money.
A taxi license plate can even be worth the price of a local house.
The rickshaw companies are not quite as exaggerated, but not by much.
Once a company is well run, it can recover its capital in more than a year, and it will be a net profit after two years.
It's a pity that Nanjing is not always peaceful. In two years, this beautiful city will usher in eight years of suffering, and the company will not be able to survive by then.
"Okay, I'll talk to the team leader and keep it for now."
The people in the General Affairs Department didn't know why Team Leader Xu kept these things, but Team Leader Xu would not refuse stupidly if he mentioned it.
Anyway, it's not him who makes the decision, it's up to the team leader.
He could probably guess in his heart that Team Leader Xu might want these things. The rickshaw company does make money, and it will be a huge profit after it is opened.
"Open a rickshaw company?"
Xu Zhanjie looked at Xu Qingyun in surprise. After leaving the General Affairs Department, Xu Qingyun came here immediately.
"Yes, the rickshaw drivers are all flexible people. They are on the streets every day. They are very well-informed. With a company like this, we directly control a group of rickshaw drivers, which is equivalent to an extra group of informants. The number of rickshaws does not need to be large, just three hundred. Three hundred coachmen are equivalent to three hundred extra pairs of eyes for us.”
Xu Qingyun of the company did not plan to open it himself, so he let the Military Intelligence Department take the lead.
"What you said makes sense, but we have never opened a company ourselves. Who should we put in charge?"
Xu Zhanjie couldn't help but nod. Xu Qingyun was indeed right, but they were an intelligence department and a military department, and they had no industry of their own.
"We don't need to be responsible ourselves, just find a manager and let them do things according to our orders."
Xu Qingyun advised that if the Military Intelligence Office was really unwilling to take over the rickshaw company, then he would do it himself.
Anyway, if I can work for two years, I won’t lose money.
Before the war comes, just sell the company, or sell all the cars, which will be a waste of energy and troublesome.
"The key is that we have never done this kind of thing, and three hundred cars require a lot of money. Can Virgo agree?"
Xu Zhanjie frowned, he was very moved by the suggestion of Three Hundred Coachmen and Three Hundred Eyes.
As an intelligence officer, he must have more informants, and he knows this best.
"Teacher, the department will definitely not agree, and we cannot leave it to the department. I mean our intelligence department will do it ourselves for this company."
Xu Qingyun shook his head, it would be more troublesome for Virgo to do this.
First of all, this is the industry of the Military Intelligence Department, and it must be linked to the General Affairs Section. With the temperament of the people in the General Affairs Section, this company will be closed down in less than half a year, let alone two years.
Anyone with some power will find ways to make some money from it and enrich their own pockets.
It is different for the Intelligence Department to do it themselves. The company is in their hands, and other departments in the department cannot work together. At that time, Xu Qingyun will be more strict with the company. The other groups can only borrow the company's power when they are on task to avoid being asked by them to the company. Reach inside.
"Shall we do it ourselves?"
Xu Zhanjie was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head: "Three hundred cars are not small money. How can we have so much money? It's impossible."
Xu Zhanjie knows best how much the intelligence department's funding is. Normally a few hundred dollars is considered high, but a typical case only has tens to hundreds of dollars, which still includes their food, drink, and sex.
Three hundred cars, that’s almost thirty thousand oceans.
"Teacher, there is no need to pay for it yourself when opening a company."
Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. Xu Zhanjie's idea cannot be wrong, it is even what most people in this era think.
But this is not the case.
John wanted to kill him with nothing, but unfortunately his methods were too poor. His methods were much better than John's.
"If you don't pay, how can you drive it?" Xu Zhanjie looked puzzled.
"First we get the license plates and the remaining cars back. The more than thirty cars are repaired and running first. Then you go and expand the license plates in person. The bigger the better, although we only need three hundred cars, but the number on the license plates is The higher the quantity, the more money we can get.”
Xu Qingyun said slowly, while Xu Zhanjie became more and more confused as he listened.
"After the license is extended, we go to the bank, use the license as collateral, and ask them to lend us money. It doesn't need to be more, just a loan of 6,000 yuan is enough. I asked about the market price, and we only need to apply for a loan for 1,000 cars. For a license, you can get a loan of as little as 6,000 yuan.”
"After we got the money, we went to the rickshaw seller and told them that we would pay for 300 rickshaws in installments. We will get rid of the more than 30 old rickshaws at a low price, which will be used to fund the company's operating expenses."
"In the early stage, we gave him 20 yuan for each car and let them have the ownership of these cars. We borrowed them. We gave them the remaining money in batches, four times, once every three months, each time. Twenty-five percent of their payment.”
"When the settlement is completed, the ownership of these cars will belong to us, so they don't have to worry, and the early twenty yuan will be theirs for nothing."
Xu Zhanjie was stunned when he heard this. Can this business be done like this?
It is equivalent to starting a company without spending a penny. As for the two years, you will definitely be able to earn back the money for the car, and even make a lot more.
"Would the car seller agree?"
"Let Yan Ming talk to them. It doesn't matter if you don't agree. We'll find someone to punish them. They must agree if they don't want to go bankrupt."
Xu Qingyun said with a smile, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Suzhou all have factories that produce rickshaws. These factories have some energy, but they are not arms dealers or large grain merchants, so their energy is limited.
Military Intelligence can definitely handle them.
Where it is not convenient for the Military Intelligence Department to show up in person, there is also the police station. If you give the police a hint, they are absolutely willing to do it.
What's more, Xu Qingshi is still at the police station.
"Okay, I'll report it to the Virtue first. As long as he agrees, we'll do it."
Xu Zhanjie was very decisive, and Xu Qingyun made it clear and explained every step, making him feel that things were feasible. They don't have to pay their own money, and the Intelligence Section will have an extra property, and they will be able to make more extra money in the future.
And this time it was done in the name of putting in informants, which have a great effect on the Intelligence Department.
Xu Zhanjie believes that Virgo will not object.
Sure enough, after Xu Zhanjie reported it, Virgo was as surprised as he was.
He repeated what Xu Qingyun said twice, and finally said it fluently.
Virgo is very smart and heard what he meant. To put it simply, it is to use various channels and power to open the company for their own use without spending a penny.
"You go to the headquarters and take the things away. Try it first. If it doesn't work, there is no loss."
Virgo really has no objection. He wants to see if this method is feasible. If it is really feasible, wouldn't he have many more ways to make money in the future?
It’s really nice not to have to pay out of pocket.
"Qi Wu, you said last time that the Xu family's business is very big?"
After Xu Zhanjie left, Virgo suddenly called Secretary Qi over.
"Yes, they have two dyeing houses, seven cloth factories, and thousands of acres of fertile land."
Qi Wu had done some research on the Xu family and knew their situation.
"No wonder, I didn't expect Xu Qingyun to be a business talent."
Virgo nodded slightly. He liked this method very much, and he had a more vicious vision than Xu Zhanjie.
The most critical point here is that the business belongs to the Military Intelligence Division.
Not an individual.
As an individual, there are some things that I can't do that well, such as buying a car. If someone doesn't agree to this payment method, I have limited threats to them.
There is also a license plate. If you go alone, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money.
But Xu Zhanjie appeared and represented the Military Intelligence Division, so all this was much simpler.
If they dare not give face, the Military Intelligence Office can deal with them. They don't need to use imported rickshaws. There are many domestically produced ones with good quality.
"Qingyun, it's done. The director agrees. I've called the General Affairs Department. You go and receive the things and do it right away."
Xu Zhanjie went back happily. He was the one who benefited the most from the opening of this company.
The company belongs to the Intelligence Department, which means he has another way to make money, and it is a big way to make money.
He even thought that if he could really do it well and expand the scale in the future, he would be able to produce a thousand cars, but he wouldn't be able to pay for it anyway.
Xu Zhanjie's thinking was a bit simple. The reason why Xu Qingyun ordered 300 rickshaws was because Nanjing's rickshaws were basically saturated.
The sudden emergence of thousands of more cars will have a huge impact on the market.
Moreover, they did not directly produce 300 more vehicles. This includes the more than 100 vehicles that Liao Wenting had before. In fact, they only produced more than 100 vehicles, which has a limited impact on the market.
"Yes, teacher."
Xu Qingyun soon came to the General Affairs Department again. The people here had received orders to prepare everything.
The person who received Xu Qingyun was still the same person from before, with a genuine expression.
Fortunately, they have sold those good vehicles, and most people have made some profit, so that nothing is lost.
"Captain, the team leader is looking for you."
Near the Party Affairs Investigation Office, the team members answered the phone and immediately came to call Yan Ming.
Yan Ming was staring at Shi Qingbin. Shi Qingbin had been traveling more regularly in the past two days. He went home directly from get off work. Yan Ming had already figured out his address and had not taken action yet.
They want to arrest secretly and not let others know that they are the ones arresting the person.
The Party Investigation Office didn't know who arrested Shi Qingbin, so they had enough time to work on it.
Once the physical evidence is added, no one will be able to save him.
"Yes, team leader, I'll go back right now."
Yan Ming hurriedly hung up the phone and returned to his office, finally knowing what the team leader had asked him to do.
The team leader wants to open a rickshaw company in the name of the Intelligence Division, and it won't cost a penny.
After listening to what the team leader said, Yan Ming was so impressed that he fell to the ground.
"You copied the place. You know Liao Wenting best. Recruit some of them first and reopen the business."
Xu Qingyun ordered that the house of Liao Wenting's company was rented and was temporarily closed. Yan Ming could go over and open the door and it could resume operations.
"Yes, I'll make arrangements right away."
Yan Ming took the order and left. Shi Qingbin had to wait for the opportunity. When the opportunity came, he would arrest people.
It doesn't matter if he keeps an eye on it personally.
"Team leader, we are back."
In the afternoon, Fang Laibao and Zheng Jiming came to the office. After getting the confession, they returned from Tianjin.
As for those two people, they are temporarily detained at Tianjin Station.
They brought back confessions and recordings from the two men.
"It's good to be back. How are things going?"
Xu Qingyun smiled when he saw them. They had already caught the person. Since they were back, they must have brought back what he needed. No one could save Shi Qingbin this time.
Once he dies, not to mention that my brother is absolutely safe, at least it will be much better.
In particular, Shi Qingbin was staring at himself, not his brother.
He was investigating the wrong subject.
This incident just serves as a reminder to others not to provoke him, as the price of provoking him cannot be afforded.
"This is a confession and a recording."
Fang Laibao handed over a bag. The audio tapes these days are not the small cassettes of later generations, and they are not as light as the recording pen.
Xu Qingyun read the confession first. There was no problem with the confession. Fang Laibao used to be the interrogation team leader and knew how to interrogate to get what they wanted.
People from the Party Affairs Investigation Division explained Shi Qingbin’s ‘crimes’ in their confessions.
"Well done, you guys go and rest first."
After Xu Qingyun put aside his confession, Fang Laibao returned to the office, while Zheng Jiming insisted on staying.
He was originally responsible for protecting Xu Qingyun, and immediately became Xu Qingyun's first bodyguard after returning.
At Nanjing Railway Station, Ma Xiangshun and Xu Fuzhong got on the train.
Xu Erxi came to send them as a gift.
They took some U.S. dollars and headed to Shanghai to smooth things over.
If you want to build relationships in Shanghai, you must take care of everything.
Combining these two words has been the essence of Chinese people since ancient times.
After comparing the two concessions, Xu Qingyun planned to open the company in the French Concession, where there were more luxury goods.
The directors of the French Concession Public Board and the Commissioner of Police are their key targets.
The second is the patrol house in their area.
After all aspects are taken care of, the place can be opened for business.
As for John, Xu Qingyun was not in a hurry at all. He wanted the goods if he could, and if he didn't, he would forget about it. After the preliminary preparations were completed, he asked Xu Fuzhong to hire an American manager so that they could purchase the goods themselves and sell them.
It's okay if the price is high, John's goods are not always available, just this time.
But John did help him discover this good business opportunity.
Ma Xiangshun and Xu Fuzhong knew Xu Qingyun's plan.
They didn't expect that the young master would sell silk stockings and other items.
Both of them are people who have seen the world and know that these things do make money.
Moreover, the young master first went to do business before doing business. This surprised them the most. They did not expect that the young master knew so much at such a young age.
Relationships are the most important thing. Without enough relationships, business cannot be done.
They are already very optimistic about this business.
The young master was generous and gave them $10,000 directly for business. Most of the $10,000 was used for management, and a small amount was used to rent the company's office space and warehouse.
With so much money thrown out, many people can be fed by them and completely established relationships.
Everything is business as usual in Nanjing, but things are already turbulent in the dark.
Xu Qingyun stared at Shi Qingbin, preparing to attack him. The Japanese were also watching him secretly, wanting to assassinate him again.
In a safe house, Shengshan looked at the anxious Chinese in front of him with a smile.
After several days of planning, they successfully set up a trap and got the people in front of them to take the bait.
"Yao Sang, congratulations on making the right choice."
Shengshan looked at Yao Chang across from him with a smile. His trick this time was not very clever. He took advantage of Yao Chang's lack of money at home and his desire to make money, and asked his relatives to take him to do business to make money.
In order to make money, he borrowed money again, but his relatives cheated him and ran away after getting the money.
The creditor is also the person arranged by Shengshan.
Creditors came to collect debts. Yao Chang borrowed money at high interest rates and the period was very short. Yao Chang's relatives were eager to turn around a batch of goods. They bought them and resold them to deceive him. They acted in a complete set. Shengshan made arrangements for these goods. , and finally convinced Yao Chang that he had borrowed short-term loan sharks.
These are nothing. The creditor had a conflict with Yao Chang and died in front of him.
In fact, Katsuyama secretly ordered someone to poison him with a poisonous needle.
When a murder case occurred, Yao Chang was so panicked that he just wanted to run away. He was a small figure in the Military Intelligence Department, and besides, he had indeed borrowed money, and the person died in front of him. He couldn't explain clearly.
After doing all this, Shengshan asked someone to bring Yao Chang over and said that he would help him pay off all his debts, but he asked him to do one thing.
Otherwise, it will be revealed that he failed to repay the money he borrowed and killed the creditor.
Yao Chang had no power and no background, so he had no choice but to agree.
"This is a camera. I'll teach you how to use it. You can find an opportunity at the sentry post to take photos of Xu Qingyun."
Time was limited, and Shengshan did not let Yao Chang do anything. After completing this task, he would return to Shanghai. If Yao Chang's chess piece was not discovered, it would be handed over to other people.
He doesn't care that much about Yao Chang.
"When it's done, I'll give you another one."
After teaching him how to use the camera, Shengshan took out a large gold bar and put it on the table. Yao Chang's heart suddenly accelerated when he saw the gold bar.
Thank you to my friend Rarely Muddleheaded 028 for another 500 starting coin reward, which guarantees a second chapter of 6,000 words.
