Zhang Yong heard Takashi Takeshita's voice.
Yes, it was him. It was Takashi Takeshita who was calling.
When they were at the Hotel Nissin, Zhang Yong had remembered the other person's voice. It was a very deep impression.
If it wasn't for his inner voice saying 49 Shihu Street, Zhang Yong would not have known about this warehouse.
He was surprised.
Why would Takashita Takashi call?
And the content seemed to be wrong...
'I'll take it all. Deliver immediately,' Takashita Takashi said without a doubt.
'The price,' Zhang Yong followed with confusion. The response was very quick. If you say you want it, you have to take it! What about the price? Without a price, you're talking nonsense...
What?
It's already sold?
Haha. One item, two sales. One woman, two husbands. Haven't you seen it before?
Anyway, the goods haven't been moved yet. Sell to more people. Whoever falls for it is a sucker.
Who was that plump middle-aged man? I forgot to ask. He must be a traitor.
Since he's a traitor, there's no need to be polite.
'75,000.'
'85,000. Not a penny less.'
'Go tell Zhang Benzheng that it's me, Takeshita Takashi, who wants his goods! Haha!'
'Er...'
Zhang Yong is slightly taken aback.
Is this Zhang Benzheng's warehouse? Not Takeshita Takashi's?
Oh dear. I seem to have made a mistake.
It turns out that the address Takeshita Takashi kept mumbling is someone else's warehouse.
Zhang Benzheng, the traitor.
This guy has actually stocked up on so much sugar. He is indeed rich. Very well. Take all his wealth.
At the same time, plant a landmine in this guy.
Doesn't Takeshita Takashi want to buy all this sugar at a low price? But I won't agree.
Create conflict between Takashita Takashi and Zhangben Zheng.
Raise your voice deliberately.
Emphasise arrogance.
'I don't care who you are, 85,000 won't be a penny less.'
'Baka!'
Over there, Takashita Takashi is furious.
That bastard Zhangben Zheng actually dares to speak to him in such a manner?
Good, remember.
We'll settle this score later.
However, he will take all the sugar.
Zhang Bengzheng had brought the sugar back from Southeast Asia. It was very valuable. He could almost monopolise the northern market.
'Zhang Bengzheng wouldn't dare speak to me like that.'
'I don't care who you are!'
'Baka!'
'If you want the goods, come over immediately. I'll wait two hours.'
'Baka! I'll be right there!'
Takashi Takeshita was furious. He wanted to go over there himself and teach the other man a lesson.
He said 75,000, so that's 75,000. There's no way he'll give you another 10,000. You Zhang Ben Zheng don't have that kind of face.
He immediately ordered preparations to be made. At the same time, he prepared a 75,000 silver note.
He was prepared to buy and sell by force. The other party had to agree, even if they didn't want to. Otherwise, he would definitely make Zhang Ben Zheng look bad.
It so happened that he knew Zhang Ben Zheng was not on the shore. He had gone out to sea. Zhang Ben Zheng himself was not there. Did his few subordinates still want to turn the world upside down? Did they not exist in the eyes of the Japanese?
Zhang Yong put down the receiver.
It seems that Takashi Takeshita is not willing to give up? Maybe he really has to come in person?
Haha. If he comes, he comes.
I'll sell him for 75,000 at most. I'll have made a profit by marrying her twice.
That said, it seems that this daughter is not even his own.
Oh well, don't worry about the details...
The more chaos we stir up for the Japanese invaders, the better.
The more chaotic Tianjin is, the more the Japanese invaders' attention will be drawn here,
And in Peking, General Cai will be safe.
'Instructor Yu!'
'Someone else is coming?'
'Yes. It's Takashi Takeshita.'
'Him?'
Yu Lexi is thoughtful.
Of course he knows who Takashi Takeshita is.
What's he doing here? To steal the goods, of course.
Unexpectedly, this batch of sugar is quite popular. All kinds of people are coming onto the scene!
After all, it is worth tens of thousands of dollars. White sugar is also a best-seller. It is not hard to sell.
Who was that guy before...
Wait!
Zhang Yong waved at Mei Xiao and called her over, asking, 'Who was that guy just now?'
'Wang Zhulin! Don't you know him?' Mei Xiao was surprised.
'Huh? He is Wang Zhulin?' Zhang Yong really didn't know him. He hadn't read the other person's information.
He had been a bit lazy recently.
Whenever he needed to use his brain to remember information, he didn't really want to look at it.
As long as someone around him knew it, that was fine.
Haha. No wonder Wang Zhulin's face was so sour. It turns out that he was reluctant to accept Zhang Benzheng's goods.
They were all traitors, so there might be internal conflicts.
In the ancient harem, they even fought for the emperor's favour!
Traitors don't get along with each other.
However, for some reason, Wang Zhulin finally accepted it.
Unexpectedly, now Takeshita Takashi has come and interfered.
Well, that's good.
Very good. The Japanese and the traitors are fighting each other.
The traitors are fighting each other.
It would be best if the three of them fought. A life and death struggle. It would give the Japanese spy ring a headache. That would be perfect.
'You...'
Mei Xiao began to feel a little worried.
Please don't entrust it to the wrong person!
Why do I feel like I've misjudged him?
This Zhang Yong, he's a bit unreliable! Doesn't he even read the information?
There must be complete information on Wang Zhulin in the Fuxing Society! Photos and everything. He didn't even look at the photos?
She quietly bites her lip.
She has now given herself away.
The rice is cooked, there's no going back...
If he really is that outrageous, she doesn't know what to do.
Gu Xiaoru, Gu Xiaoru, you've caused me harm...
She described him as so wonderful. In the end, he turned out to be a scoundrel...
'Cao!'
Zhang Yong shouted.
Cao Mengqi came over with a face full of excitement.
He thought there was going to be another fight.
He was looking forward to it.
He felt unsatisfied that it hadn't started yet. The safety on the rifle had never been switched off.
'Cao, you guys go and ambush them across the street.'
'Okay!'
Cao Mengqi went happily.
Mei Xiao frowned.
What is he up to? A big fight?
This Zhang Yong, he doesn't do things the usual way. She simply can't understand him at all. And she's worried.
It feels like Zhang Yong has never received any special agent training?
He just comes out with one thing after another, doing whatever comes into his head without considering the consequences.
The only thing that's for sure is that this guy is just too greedy.
It's not that he's brave. He's money-obsessed and doesn't care about his life.
If someone else had taken Wang Zhulin's money, they would have run for their lives.
How could he sell the goods to Takashi Takeuchi again?
But Zhang Yong dared to.
He even seemed eager to do it.
Really...
I'm impressed.
On second thought,
this scumbag may be bad, but his methods of making money are indescribable. Following him, I can guarantee that I will never lack money.
Just now, I cheated him out of 83,000 yuan, but how much will I get this time?
'Here you go!'
Zhang Yong took out a stack of banknotes and gave them to her.
He forgot.
He should have given it to her after the job was done.
That way, there was no danger of the other party suing him. That was how it was done in the future.
Then he remembered. This was the Republic of China. It was different.
'For me?'
Mei Xiao's eyes sparkled.
She saw it. They were all bank notes from the Baoshang Bank.
The face value was 200 silver dollars. There seemed to be a dozen of them? Haha. This scoundrel. He was indeed rich beyond belief.
A few thousand silver dollars just for a casual job.
A single job can net tens of thousands of dollars. Two jobs can net hundreds of thousands of dollars.
'Do you want it? If not, forget it...'
'Yes!'
Mei Xiao immediately took the banknotes.
How could she not want it?
She had given him her body. How could she not want something in return?
"Give me 3,000 first!'
'I'll give you some more later,'
Zhang Yong said.
Mei Xiao quietly bit her lip.
More later?
Great!
She waited silently.
Half an hour later, a red dot appeared.
It was a car.
On top of the car were a Japanese and two Chinese.
They drove up to the warehouse door. They slowly stopped.
Zhang Yong moved a stool and sat in front of the warehouse door. He wanted to cross his legs. Unfortunately, his legs were too short. He couldn't do it. He had to give up.
The Japanese got out of the car. He looked around. Then he looked at the warehouse.
Finally, his gaze fell on Zhang Yong, and he frowned and said, 'Are you Zhang Ben Zheng's people?'
'Who are you? What are you doing here?' Zhang Yong was also rude.
'We are from Ryuking Co., Ltd. We are here to buy your white sugar.'
'Show me the money.'
'Our boss has offered 75,000.'
'Dollars?'
'Are you crazy? Dollars? Dream on! 75,000 dollars!'
'Get lost! We're not selling!'
'What did you say?'
'I said the price is too low, we're not selling!'
'Hey, kid, you better watch your mouth. Do you know who our boss is?'
'Kid, you better watch your mouth. Our boss also works for the Japanese. You're no match for me!'
'You see, you said it yourself. Your boss works for the Japanese. Our boss is a real Japanese! He's even a Japanese nobleman! Your boss would be lucky to curry favour with our boss!'
'Hmph. Unless your boss comes in person, there's no deal!'
Zhang Yong sneered.
In fact, he had already made a concession.
It was tantamount to telling the other party that if your boss came in person, the price might be negotiable.
However, if your boss refused to appear in person, there was absolutely no negotiation. You'd better get lost as soon as possible. This was the last bit of face to save for a traitor.
'Our boss will be here soon!'
'Really?'
Zhang Yong frowned.
It seemed that he was not very happy.
Should it be like this?
Zhang Yong was not sure.
He did not understand expression management. Nor did he understand pretence.
The protagonists in spy dramas are all masters. They can easily handle any situation.
But he can't. He has no acting skills. He feels that there are loopholes everywhere.
So, he doesn't bother to pretend.
Anyway, he's not very happy. Reluctant. Unhappy.
Silent.
Neither side speaks again.
They wait for Takeshita Takashi's arrival.
Soon, the map reminds them that a large number of small red dots are approaching. There are more than ten of them.
They all came in small cars. There are seven small cars.
My, this Takeshita Takashi is very grandiose! He seems more imposing than a major.
When the Japanese invaders' major made an appearance, there weren't as many cars.
The cars arrived one after the other.
In the middle was a black car with two people in the front row and one in the back. They were all Japanese invaders.
It feels like this is the standard setup for the boss? The big shots all sit alone in the back row. There is a driver in the front. The passenger seat is occupied by a bodyguard. Or a secretary, a counselor, or something like that.
The car stops.
Many Japanese people get out of the car.
They are all holding pistols in their hands without any disguise.
They are not Browning pistols.
They are Nanbu 14 pistols. Commonly known as 'King 8 Boxes'.
Zhang Yong's expression does not change.
Haha. The other party is trying to intimidate me!
Fine. You are awesome. I can't afford to provoke you.
You are Japanese. I am working under a traitor. I definitely can't be tough.
But...
I still have to be stubborn.
It is good to make Takashi take a little more hatred towards Zhang Ben Zheng.
So, I kept my head down. I didn't say a word. Until Takeshita got out of the car.
'Sir...'
A group of people surrounded a certain VIP as he got out of the car.
Zhang Yong glanced over. Yes, it was Takeshita. He really came.
Still keeping my head down.
So what if you're Takeshita?
I, Zhang Ben Zheng, just don't give a damn about you. If you're so capable, go complain.
Tell them that I, Zhang Ben Zheng, look down on the Japanese. I want to rebel against the Japanese. Those who are not of our kind have different intentions. And so on.
It would be best to suggest that the Japanese Military Police Headquarters arrest Zhang Ben Zheng.
It would be best to execute him without saying a word.
That would be perfect.
Chen Gongshu wouldn't even have to lift a finger. The Japanese would execute Zhang Ben Zheng themselves.
'Oh, yes...'
Takeshita Takashi's gaze sank when he saw Zhang Yong.
He recognised Zhang Yong. They had met at the Nissin Hotel. They had not been sitting far apart.
As a big businessman, Takeshita Takashi also had a good memory.
He had never expected that he was actually working for Zhang Ben Zheng. No wonder he had been able to get a job at the Nissin Hotel.
'Yours!'
'Where is the goods?'
Takeshita Takashi asked arrogantly.
Zhang Yong did not reply.
The main point was that he was not welcome.
You are offering such a low price, of course I am not welcome.
What?
So what if you're Japanese?
Just because you're Japanese, you think you can do business without following the rules of the market?
'Hagya!'
Takeshita Takashi suddenly felt unhappy.
This damned Zhang Ben Zheng, even his subordinates are so arrogant?
It seems that he really is a dog that can't be trained. I'll go back and tell them to let Zhang Ben Zheng drown in the sea.
He waved his hand in annoyance.
A Japanese man came forward and threw a handbag at Zhang Yong.
Zhang Yong: ...
Damn it. What kind of attitude is this?
Do you take me for a beggar?
Just throw it over casually?
Stay still.
Pretend you didn't see it. I'm not happy about it.
Yu Lexiang picked up the handbag. Opened it. It was full of silver notes.
Zhang Yong glanced at it. Huh? It's not even from the Baoshang Bank. It's from the Peiping Citibank.
Oh dear, there's no way to refuse.
If it were the Baoshang Bank, it would have to be 85,000. Not a dollar less.
If it were the Citibank, 75,000 would be enough.
He waved his hand in annoyance. He told Yu Lexing to hold the bag.
'Let's go!'
He gestured to Cao Mengqi across the street.
Takashi Takeshita couldn't help but be startled. He didn't expect there to be someone behind him.
Fortunately, he didn't make a move. Otherwise, if the other side attacked from both sides, he might have suffered. He became even more irritated. This Zhang Ben Zheng really wants to die.
He actually wanted to ambush him.
He is a true Japanese. He is his master!
Dare to do this to his master, he must be trying to rebel.
Such a person must not be allowed to remain. To keep him is a disaster. He must be dealt with as soon as possible...
'Go!'
'Go!'
Zhang Yong waved his hand.
He led everyone in an orderly retreat. He gave the warehouse to Takeshita Takashi.
Takeshita Takashi's mouth curled up in a smug smile.
Hagah!
In the end, he had won.
The 400 tons of sugar would all be his, Takeshita Takashi's!
What he didn't know was that after Zhang Yong and the others had left Shihu Street for a while, they immediately found a place to ambush.
He still had a next step planned.
