Chapter 157 A mistake


Chapter 157: A hit or miss
According to Yao Chang’s explanation, John’s drawing looked very similar, roughly like this. If he wanted to make it more similar, Yao Chang didn’t know how to describe it.

After all, it's a portrait, not a photo.

"Take him down, John, and follow me, Jiming, to take pictures and clean the portrait."

Xu Qingyun took John back to his office. John didn't even ask for remuneration. The remuneration of five dollars a piece was not important at all in his eyes now.

What he wants is business.

"Business can be done, but it's not as simple as you think. Your goods have no advantages except the price. Tell me the location and I will send you to pick up the goods. After the transaction is successful, I will give you three thousand US dollars as an introduction fee."

In the office, Xu Qingyun told John that the goods were worth fifty thousand, but that was the purchase price, and the profit was close to one hundred thousand dollars.

Luxury goods are so profitable.

"Three thousand, impossible."

John was slightly startled and immediately shook his head, his face turned red, obviously angry.

What he wants is dividends, not referral fees.

I have to say, he does have a big heart.

"It's impossible, just forget it. I've done some research and found that the price of your goods is only 20% cheaper than others, and it's a one-time purchase. I might as well go to the United States directly so that I can have a stable supply in the future."

Xu Qingyun didn't care at all about his attitude and disagreed. He didn't need this batch of goods. It was only 10,000 US dollars at a 20% discount. As for John's desire to cooperate and share dividends, that was impossible.

John is an idealist, Xu Qingyun can understand him, and it is normal to think simply.

"Xu, you can't do this. You are trying to leave me alone. This is not kind."

John gritted his teeth and said, he wanted to earn tens of thousands of dollars, but now he was given three thousand dollars. He really couldn't accept it.

"What have I left you alone? You only want to use other people's money to do business, but you don't have any capital. All you can come up with now is just a piece of news, but this news is not important to me."

"I've said it before, if you don't want it, I won't force it. I'll send someone directly to the United States to get the goods, and I'll sell them exactly the same."

He wanted John to see the situation clearly. If only John could get this batch of goods, and he could get them continuously in the future, it would be okay to give him some dividends.

But he is just a middleman and wants to use other people's capital to make profits for himself. That is not possible.

"This is thirteen dollars. You should consider the reward for this portrait yourself."

Xu Qingyun took out more than a dozen pieces of ocean and piled them on the table, one yard at a time. John drew a portrait for him, and the reward he had promised before would be given to him.

"Without me, you wouldn't make that much money."

John was still unwilling, but he was unwilling to give up. Xu Qingyun laughed when he heard what he said: "You are wrong. Without you, I would just make less money. But according to the sharing method you said, I will benefit less than buying goods by myself." , Am I a fool?”

John was startled. According to the dividend model, it is true that Xu Qingyun would not have made more money by purchasing goods and selling them alone.

It’s not that he doesn’t know this, he just simply thinks that the Chinese people don’t know enough and can deceive them to make more money for themselves.

Only now do I know that Xu Qingyun has seen through everything.

"I don't want money, I want goods, five thousand dollars worth of goods."

After a while, John gritted his teeth and said that he would definitely not agree with the three thousand dollars. If he was really given five thousand dollars of goods, he could sell more than ten thousand dollars.

Although it was less than what I originally thought, it was still much stronger than three thousand.

"John, your biggest shortcoming is that you are too greedy."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. The goods that John knew were only purchased at a price that was 20% lower. Giving him goods worth five thousand dollars would be equivalent to giving him more than ten thousand dollars in profit for free.

He is still thinking about getting something for nothing.

"I can give you an introduction fee of five thousand dollars. This is the bottom line. If it doesn't work, forget it."

Xu Qingyun raised the price. What he valued was that the goods were close to them and were currently in the Philippines, so he could get them quickly.

But there is only this batch, and he will still have to go to the United States and other places to purchase goods in the future.

"Give me $5,000 worth of goods, and I can give you $3,500 dollars to help me carry the goods. Xu, after all, you only know about this batch of goods because of me."

John raised his head. He only had this money in his hand. He was unwilling to earn only five thousand dollars and wanted to earn more.

John was too greedy and always wanted to maximize his profits. Xu Qingyun didn't blame him, it was human nature.

But he thought business was too simple.

"Okay, you give me $3,500, and I will bring you $5,000 worth of goods."

Xu Qingyun agreed. It didn't matter if he gave him a little bit of the fifty thousand dollars worth of goods. It didn't matter if he made less.

"Xu, you won't lie to me, right?"

John suddenly became a little wary. The US$3,500 included not only all his savings, but also his assets in Nanjing and his gallery.

Otherwise he wouldn't have that much money.

It can be said that this is all he has.

"You go back."

Xu Qingyun laughed angrily and didn't believe what he was doing to come to him. He didn't like the money.

If he goes back today, he will send Xu Fuzhong to the United States with money tomorrow.

They have rented company offices and warehouses in Shanghai and hired several Americans, one of whom is a manager.

But it's all just a show, they are the ones who really manage the company.

"I believe you, just wait for me for two days and I will collect the money for you."

Gritting his teeth, John finally chose to believe Xu Qingyun. Xu Qingyun worked in the Military Intelligence Department. He had a normal job and his position was not low.

There will be a better future in the future.

He will sign an agreement with Xu Qingyun. If Xu Qingyun dares to lie to him, he will ask the embassy to support him.

He is an American.

"ASAP."

Zheng Jiming came back, and Xu Qingyun asked Zheng Jiming to send him out. Something happened at the gate. Without Zheng Jiming to see him off, John couldn't get out, even if the person at the gate had seen him.

"Team leader, we are back."

Before Zheng Jiming came back, Yan Ming ran back first.

He was on an arrest mission today, and they had already captured him.

Shi Qingbin was quite romantic and took his family to eat steak and drink red wine to celebrate his birthday.

Then went to see a movie.

As a result, he ran out of the movie halfway through the movie. He didn't know what Shi Qingbin was doing in the movie theater. He drove to a deserted place in a hurry and started driving around in a hurry.

If he dares to go to such a place, he is giving Yan Ming a chance.

Naturally, Yan Ming would not let him go, and immediately led people to capture him, including his car.

But the car was sent elsewhere.

To prevent anyone from tracing them back based on the car prints, he didn't know if there was such a person in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, but he would try to avoid it.

It’s just a car, it will look the same wherever you put it.

The matter is not big, but you can see Yan Ming's rigor and seriousness. He will not be sloppy in any detail, which satisfies Xu Qingyun the most.

"Let's go to the trial."

Xu Qingyun got up and followed Yan Ming to the interrogation department. The interrogation department had to work overtime again today.

Shi Qingbin was gagged, with a hood on his head, and kept whining.

In the car, he took off his pants and was forcibly taken away from behind. Then he was beaten, tied up and taken away with a hood on his head.

He doesn't even know where he is now, nor does he know the other party's identity.

"Let him talk."

Xu Qingyun sat at the interrogation table, and Shi Qingbin's woman was sent to another interrogation room, with Yan Ming interrogating first.

His woman had had contact with the Japanese, and it was easier for people to believe that she was used to instigate Shi Qingbin against him by inducing her to confess.

"Who are you and why are you arresting me?"

After his hood was removed and he was able to speak, Shi Qingbin was shocked.

He saw clearly where he was.

This is the torture chamber.

He had previously thought about whether someone was deliberately kidnapping for money. If that was the case, how would he deal with it to save his life.

Unexpectedly, the other party took him to the torture room.

Then the other party cannot be a kidnapper. This torture room is very professional. There are not many places with such professional torture rooms. They include the Military Intelligence Department, the Police Department, and departments under the Department of National Defense.

He didn't know which one now.

But it was definitely not the Party Affairs Investigation Department. He was familiar with every torture room in the Party Affairs Investigation Department, and he didn't recognize the people in front of him.

"Team Leader Shi, if you don't do anything good as a team leader, why would you sacrifice your life for the Japanese?"

Xu Qingyun asked with a smile, and Shi Qingbin was startled by the first question.

Was his contact with the Japanese exposed?

"I didn't, don't accuse me wrongly."

Shi Qingbin couldn't admit it. At this time, he probably guessed where this place was. It must be the Military Intelligence Department investigating the Japanese.

He didn't know how many secrets the Military Intelligence Office had, but at this moment he just wanted to curse.

There can be no problem on his side. The Japanese must have made a mistake themselves.

Fortunately, he hasn't agreed yet, and the other party probably doesn't have much evidence.

"Torture."

Xu Qingyun didn't talk nonsense to him. In fact, he didn't have anything to ask, all he wanted was to surrender.

Just get a confession.

"Team leader."

Before the executioners took action, Yan Ming suddenly ran in excitedly.

Xu Qingyun glanced at the torturers, nodded to them, and followed Yan Ming outside.

"Team leader, the Japanese have really contacted them through his outer office, and Shi Qingbin has already been in contact with the Japanese. His woman told him that Shi Qingbin's price was too high, and the Japanese are still considering it."

The interrogation process at Yan Ming's side was extremely smooth. Shi Qingbin's woman was just an ordinary person. Yan Ming deliberately asked the Japanese, and before he could continue asking questions, he cried and confessed everything.

The Japanese did want Shi Qingbin to do things for them through her.

Shi Qingbin is the team leader, and his rank in the Party Affairs Investigation Department is not low. The Party Affairs Investigation Department is an intelligence department after all. It means a lot that the team leader who can instigate rebellion in it is still in the intelligence team.

Shi Qingbin has talked with the Japanese several times for almost more than a month.

It's just that he is very greedy. Without providing any information, he first asked the other party to give him fifty gold bars. One less would not be enough.

After that, the value of each piece of information cannot be less than ten gold bars, and the price of important information must be doubled or even several times higher.

Upon hearing the woman's confession, Yan Ming immediately understood the importance and came to Xu Qingyun immediately.

"Has he really had contact with the Japanese?"

Xu Qingyun was very surprised. Before, he thought it was frame-up, but now it's better. Shi Qingbin was really instigated by the Japanese.

Although he hasn't done anything yet, making a price is equivalent to agreeing, which can confirm his identity as a traitor.

More updates will be added tomorrow.
