Chapter 1527 The enemy you can’t afford to offend
Haihan has Wang Yuan, an official in charge of criminal matters, as a partner in Hangzhou, which will indeed bring a lot of convenience when dealing with many things. For example, if a local idle guy wants to build one of these weaving workshops, people from Six Doors will naturally come forward to protect him. And Guo Ziping made such a bold move to integrate the handling industry in Hangzhou Terminal. If Wang Yuan was not behind him, he would have caused countless lawsuits.
Although Wang Yuan has been completely defeated by Haihan's money offensive, he obeys Haihan's various arrangements, and even takes the initiative to consider some practical problems and propose solutions for Haihan, but he is Ming Dynasty after all. Officials, their vision and knowledge are limited by this era, and their values are also somewhat different from Haihan's. Therefore, Haihan is not worried about Wang Yuan's reliability, but is not too reassured about the way he handles things. He specially asked the Ministry of Security to send Sun Jin, a cadre, to Hangzhou to arrange work to prevent Wang Yuan from grasping the priorities and being well-intentioned. Did something wrong.
After arriving in Hangzhou, Sun Jin was not eager to have close contact with Wang Yuan. Instead, she first conducted on-site inspections of the two tasks Wang Yuan was currently responsible for to understand the construction progress of the weaving workshop site and the integration status of the handling industry at the Hangzhou terminal. Things are going well at the construction site, basically everything is going on as planned. But the situation at the dock was not so satisfactory. Sun Jin was not too impressed with Guo Ziping's style of doing things, so after the unannounced visit, she asked Guo Ziping to meet and pointed out some inappropriate things to him. It's just that he definitely doesn't speak as well as Wang Yuan, his direct superior, so he still has to say hello to Wang Yuan, and then Wang Yuan gives instructions to Guo Ziping.
However, in Haihan's view, the integration of the terminal handling industry is only to make it safer for Haihan ships to dock and load and unload cargo locally, and it is certainly not as important as controlling Hangzhou's weaving industry. Therefore, Sun Jin's work in Hangzhou is still mainly in the weaving industry. The Haihan Ministry of Commerce also provided some information on this, but of course this is still not as detailed as Wang Yuan's first-hand information. Therefore, in the next work, Sun Jin still needs to rely on Wang Yuan in many places.
Wang Yuan provided Sun Jin with a list that had been compiled recently, which almost included information on dozens of large weaving shops, including those in Hangzhou. Which ones have been captured by Haihan, and which ones are obviously hostile, are all clearly defined, saving the security department a lot of work.
For those weaving shops that have little willingness to cooperate or are even hostile to Haihan, Sun Jin will take some measures during her stay in Hangzhou to force them to submit or directly eliminate them. When Haihan's influence can control some of these weaving industries, it will take the lead in forming a new industry alliance and squeeze out the market space of other peers with more competitive prices until the industry alliance can form a monopoly in the market. until.
Haihan has used similar operating techniques many times in the southern provinces of Fuzhou and Guangzhou, and has achieved good results in many industries. Monopoly management is one of the common business methods used by Haihan to extract huge profits from the Ming Dynasty. Now that it has established a firm foothold in Zhejiang, these methods will be used one after another so that Haihan can profit from the richest area in the Ming Dynasty. Search for more wealth.
Although to operate out of a monopoly situation, the initial investment will not be small, and there will be relatively large risks during the implementation process, but considering the considerable profits in the later period, Haihan is still willing to invest resources and manpower to promote this plan implementation. With the protection of the intelligence department and the military, Haihan's commercial operations are naturally more powerful than civilian forces. Even if the merchants to be dealt with may have a background in the Ming Dynasty government, it will be difficult to follow Haihan's business operations. Compared with these professional teams that are organized and have rich operational experience.
Sun Jin held talks in Wang Yuan's mansion for about an hour, declined the other party's invitation to hold a banquet, and left immediately after talking about business. Sun Jin is more concerned about his tasks than eating and socializing. After all, the business monopoly plan he has to deal with extends beyond the weaving industry. There are still a lot of people to meet and discuss in the next few days, and there is no time to waste on these unnecessary things. of entertainment. Moreover, there is a professional habit in his profession. The longer you stay in an unfamiliar environment, the greater the risk. Constant transfer is the safest way.
However, Sun Jin would not have expected that when he left Wang Yuan's mansion, there would be someone secretly monitoring his movements. As soon as the sedan he was riding in came out of the side door, Hao Qing, who was watching from a distance, fell behind the team again.
Hao Qing did not expect that this team would come out of Wang Yuan's mansion again. He just relied on his keen intuition that the person meeting Guo Ziping would not be Wang Yuan himself. Maybe he could wait outside. He appears again. In fact, Sun Jin was already sitting in the sedan when she came out of Wang Yuan's house. Hao Qing only recognized the sedan and did not see Sun Jin at all. Although it was entirely a matter of luck, I got it right. And Sun Jin never expected that someone would be following him not long after he arrived in Hangzhou, and he did not make any advance arrangements for anti-tracking measures.
It was getting dark at this time, and it was dinner time. The aroma of food filling the air made Hao Qing feel uncomfortable without having eaten anything all day long, but he did not dare to be distracted and think about other things at this time. He tried his best to keep an eye on the direction of the sedan to avoid losing track of the target.
After passing through several blocks, the group of people followed by Hao Qing finally entered an inconspicuous courtyard. He waited patiently for a while, until he saw smoke coming from the chimney in the courtyard, and he basically determined that this was where the group of people would stay.
Hao Qing knew that he was currently weak, and it was impossible for one person to monitor here day and night. He could only wait until tomorrow to find a few helpers to take turns. Although the identity of the person in the courtyard is not yet known, Hao Qing subconsciously believes that this may be the key to cracking the mission. If there is a chance to capture this person who is walking between Guo Ziping and Wang Yuan, probably all the problems will be solved. It can be solved easily.
Hao Qing waited patiently on the street corner near the courtyard until the street was closed under curfew. When he saw that no one came out of the courtyard, he left with peace of mind. He carries the badge of Jinyiwei, so he doesn't have to worry about being embarrassed by patrolling police officers and city defense troops.
After Hao Qing returned to his residence, he was too lazy to start cooking again. He turned out two cold steamed buns in the kitchen and ate them with cold water to fill his stomach. Although he had been running outside all day, Hao Qing lay in bed without any sleep, and kept thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past two days. The amount of information he had been exposed to and received between last night and tonight was so great that he didn't even have time to sort it out and digest it. Only then was he finally able to calm down and think about the current situation and his own situation. .
Hao Qing knew that the person he was working for was not Li Song but someone else, and his power was not as powerful as that of Tongpan Wang Yuan. However, these official figures were extremely concerned about their status and would not appear in front of such battles. People like him will only be sent to do the dirty work that cannot be seen in the light of day. The object of his service was to deal with Wang Yuan, and the purpose seemed to be to gain control of the local weaving industry. According to Li Song, the number of interests involved was huge, and it could be regarded as a fight for money. Of course, whether there is any hidden political game and struggle behind this is not information that Hao Qing can know. Hao Qing was quite confident when he took on this task, thinking that messing up several construction sites was just a small matter. But after learning the specific situation, he found that the matter was far from being as simple as expected. First of all, the environment at those construction sites is not suitable for manipulation, and Li Song also requires that his methods cannot be found by the government to file a case; secondly, most of his manpower has been lost due to accidents, and now there are only ten available people. If we don’t come out, many things will not be easy to handle.
Hao Qing is not even sure now. Is it a coincidence that Guo Ziping used force to expel his gang on the dock, or is the person behind him also targeting the underground forces of Li Song's camp? If it is the latter, then the other party may be waiting for him to come forward to organize manpower, and then throw himself into the trap. Thinking of this, Hao Qing felt that he would have to reconsider whether he was going to summon those subordinates tomorrow. It was hard to say whether they might be caught in one fell swoop.
In terms of personality, Hao Qing was not a very suspicious person in the past, but the various information he came into contact with this time made him start to worry about his own safety. It's not that he's afraid of death, he just doesn't want to be plotted so that he doesn't even have a chance to struggle. Last night, he and Li Song agreed to meet again in two days. It seemed that he had to discuss the conditions with Li Song and ask him to reveal more useful information. Otherwise, this job would really be impossible.
After much thought, Hao Qing still felt that he should slow down the pace first and not rush for success. The next day, he went to where his men were stationed and called out Norichichiro. First, he asked him about his follow-up to Guo Ziping yesterday.
Nori Shichiro didn't get much from following Guo Ziping yesterday. After the other party took his men to visit two other piers, he found a place outside the city to drink, and they didn't leave until midnight. Poor Norishichiro stayed up until midnight without eating or drinking. He was finally liberated when Guo Ziping and his group went back to their residence to sleep.
After hearing this, Hao Qing knew that the line Norishichiro followed was basically in vain, and it was far less rewarding than the line he followed yesterday. He already had a plan in mind, so he asked Noshichiro to follow him into the city today to monitor the courtyard he found after following him all the way yesterday.
After adjusting the direction of surveillance and tracking, immediate results were achieved. When the two of them rushed to the courtyard, they happened to see the sedan coming out of the courtyard. Hao Qing was afraid that he would follow the wrong target, so he asked Norishichiro to They stayed behind to monitor him near the courtyard, while he continued yesterday's tracking work, following behind from a distance.
But it has to be said that Hao Qing is not good at completing this kind of intelligence tasks of tracking and surveillance, and this kind of single-handed tracking is undoubtedly the easiest to expose his whereabouts. Sun Jin, who did not arrange anti-tracking measures yesterday, had already arranged two people outside the team in accordance with the standard operating rules of the Ministry of Security before leaving today to monitor whether there were suspicious people following Sun Jin.
Hao Qing, who did not understand the principles of tracking and anti-tracking, was quickly exposed to the sight of Haihan security personnel. The team carrying the sedan deliberately walked around a certain block, and then confirmed that the only person named Hao Qing was Hao Qing. stalker. But Hao Qing didn't realize that he had been exposed at all. He just subconsciously thought that this group of people were too busy or the bearers didn't know the way, so why did they go around in a big circle and come back again. He didn't even notice how the surveillance personnel deployed by Haihan sent the warning signal into the sedan.
Although Sun Jin in the sedan received the report, he could not guess which god dared to follow him single-handedly. However, it is easy to deal with this situation, and the action team of the Ministry of Security has already made corresponding arrangements. Immediately, Sun Jin issued instructions in the sedan chair, and then the team headed somewhere north of the city. Hao Qing, however, had no doubt that he was there and still followed him ten feet away from the team.
Arriving somewhere in the north of the city, Sun Jin's team turned into an alley. Hao Qing hesitated when he walked to the entrance of the alley, but still plunged in, wanting to see if there were any secrets hidden in the alley. But when he walked in for a while and turned a corner, he was shocked to find that the black sedan was placed so grandly in the middle of the alley, but there was no one around.
When Hao Qing saw this, he immediately knew something was wrong. He reached out from his waist and took out a half-foot-long sharp knife, intending to rush out of the alley immediately. But when he turned back, he found that his way had been blocked by several men in black. When he turned around again, there were already several people beside the sedan, looking at him coldly, as if they were looking at a dead person. This alley is a place that the Security Department identified after searching for a long time in the city. There are high-walled compounds on both sides of the alley. Very few people walk around here. The only purpose of this place in Haihanna is specifically for trapping. Hao Qing is not the first unlucky stalker, but he will not be the last either.
Hao Qing could no longer think about how he was exposed, and he was already desperate for his life. Although the opponent had many men, Hao Qing believed that he had rich experience in close combat. With the sharp knife in his hand, he could knock down at least two or three of his opponents. Moreover, it seemed that these people were all bare-handed. Several of them were wearing short jackets with their arms exposed because of the hot weather. It seemed that they did not have any weapons on them. If they fought hard, they might have a chance to escape.
