The Spy

Chapter 274: Looking at Own Business

Xu Qingyun smiled. He understood from his words that Yu Hanmou didn’t know him well enough.

This is not a bad thing. If he doesn't understand, then tell him. At least it proves that the other party's intelligence capabilities are limited.

"General Yu, even without these achievements, you would still meet me."

Xu Qingyun said softly, with great confidence in his voice.

"What do you mean by this?"

Yu Hanmou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking. Xu Qingyun smiled gently: "I'm from Haifeng, Haifeng Xu family."

"Haifeng Xu family?"

Yu Hanmu's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, "Who is Xu Shian to you?"

"He is my third uncle, and my grandfather's brother."

"So you are the descendant of Captain Xu. I am sorry for your disrespect."

Yu Hanmou finally sat up straight and looked at Xu Qingyun. Yu Hanmou had never followed anyone from the Xu family, but someone in his family had fought with the Xu family and they were his closest relatives.

At that time, Xu Shian was the regiment commander and Yu Hanmou's relative was the platoon leader. Xu Shian took good care of his subordinates, so it can be said that the Yu family owed a favor to the Xu family.

"General Yu, since you intend to rebel against Chen, why wait any longer?"

By revealing his family background, he was letting him know that he was a person with a background. Even if he did not have those achievements, Yu Hanmou wanted to meet him just for the sake of this relationship.

Although the elders of the Xu family have sacrificed their lives, their influence still lingers.

"Two million is not enough. I hope you can give me another million for activities. If you agree, I will act immediately."

Since the visitor was qualified to negotiate with him, Yu Hanmou stopped putting on airs and stated his demands.

"Okay, I'll report it right away. Please wait for my good news."

Xu Qingyun stood up and Yu Hanmou personally saw him out the door.

He really didn't know Xu Qingyun's true identity before. Although the Xu family's ancestors sacrificed their lives, they took care of many people back then. These relationships will become Xu Qingyun's solid help and support in the future.

And Xu Qingyun himself did a good job.

He was already a lieutenant colonel at such a young age, but it was a pity that he went to the intelligence department. If he had been in the military, he would have been a future general.

Yu Hanmou agreed, and Chen Tangji's good days were about to end.

After returning, Xu Qingyun immediately sent a telegram to Nanjing. For the old man, any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

The above replied quickly and agreed to everything.

This amount of money is nothing to them. The Air Force had promised them a large sum of money before. It would cost 20,000 yuan to bring a plane over.

So many planes have already cost a lot of money.

But compared with the whole of Guangdong, this money is not much.

Li Hanhui acted faster than Yu Hanmou. The next day, he gave up everything, went to Hong Kong, and resigned.

After arriving in Hong Kong, he called on several people who opposed Chen Tangji to come over and issue a joint statement in Hong Kong, accusing Chen Tangji and demanding that Chen Tangji give up the war.

However, the person who dealt the greatest blow to Chen Tangji was Yu Hanmou.

After all, Li Hanhui had no real power, while Yu Hanmou was the one who controlled a large number of troops, and the two had had a grudge against each other for a long time.

Yu Hanmou secretly went to Nanjing and met the old man. After returning, he immediately announced a declaration to overthrow Chen and sent a telegram to all Guangdong troops, asking them to support Nanjing and give up resistance. At the same time, he asked Chen Tangji to accept Nanjing's instructions and give up power and step down.

Yu Hanmou's public statement was a fatal blow to Chen Tangji.

"Stationmaster, everything is packed."

In Guangzhou, Zhao San came to Xu Qingyun's house. He didn't expect that the Guangzhou rebellion would be quelled so quickly.

Even the old man's men didn't fight much.

Although Chen Tangji still controls some military power, anyone can see that he is about to be finished, and no one knows how many of his subordinates still obey his orders.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. It is inevitable that Chen Tangji will step down. Those who don't want to be buried with him will definitely think about their own future.

How many people can a warlord expect to be completely loyal to him?

Even if some superiors are willing, what about their subordinates?

This time it was Chen Tangji who started the trouble, so there will be even fewer people supporting him. He doesn't want to die in embarrassment, so the best way is to get out early and find a way to survive.

As for power, it will definitely be lost.

"Arrange for everyone to leave in batches. Return the rented houses and keep the purchased houses first."

Xu Qingyun ordered that his mission had been completed and what happened next had nothing to do with him and did not belong to him.

The director has sent a telegram praising him specifically.

However, Xu Qingyun himself understood that he did not do much this time. Li Hanhui was opposed to it in the first place, and he would have taken some action even if he did not persuade him. As for Yu Hanmou, he was an ambitious man.

It was the director who ordered Yu Hanmou to contact him, it was not his initiative.

It’s good that the mission is accomplished. No matter what, the war did not really break out this time, and what remains are the anti-Japanese forces.

As for whether the officers could lead the soldiers well, Xu Qingyun was powerless to do anything.

He was just a deputy station chief of the Military Intelligence Department and had no influence on their thoughts at all.

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order and did not sell the house he bought. Zhao San didn't know the reason, but this amount of money was nothing to them, not to mention that this time the money was spent from the headquarters.

The headquarters paid for the Wuhan station to buy two properties in Guangzhou. It’s quite interesting to think about it.

Zhao San arranged their people to evacuate in an orderly manner.

This time in Guangzhou, they did not use the people from the Guangzhou station. Sun Guangji now doesn’t even know that Xu Qingyun has been in Guangzhou and has done so many things.

This coward has been hiding all the time. He is unwilling to go out and see people unless the director orders him to do so.

In Wuhan, Yan Ming brought people to the train station early.

Xu Qingyun did not inform them when he came back. When he was about to arrive in Wuhan, he used the radio transmitter he brought with him to send a message directly on the train to tell them the time of arrival in Wuhan.

Chen Tangji has not completely stepped down yet. If he knew what I had done, he would probably be furious.

The second is to guard against the Japanese.

The Japanese never gave up wanting to assassinate him.

"Stationmaster."

Seeing Xu Qingyun get off the car, Yan Ming was completely relieved. He was also worried in Wuhan during this period and kept an eye on the situation in Guangzhou.

Fortunately, there was no fight this time and the webmaster completed his mission and returned.

He is now completely relieved.

"How's the station going lately?"

After getting on the car, Xu Qingyun asked directly. Yan Ming drove directly to the platform to pick up the people. There were three cars, four trucks, and a team from the action group.

This scene attracted many people to watch.

"Everything is normal. The rewards that should have been issued last month have been issued. We will review them after Secretary Zhao returns. Also, the Special High Section Wuhan has a new section chief. Bai Baogen has finally made a move. We have already tracked down his superior and found another Japanese spy through him."

Yan Ming immediately replied that Xu Qingyun was not there and there was nothing unusual at the Wuhan station. Others did not know where Xu Qingyun had gone and thought he was still in Nanjing, receiving training.

This was the reason Xu Qingyun gave them before he left. The purpose of the training was to facilitate future promotion in military rank. After all, he had never attended military school.

"Well done."

Xu Qingyun smiled. The Wuhan station was not idle and had made some achievements.

Now that we have our eyes on the team leader, it is possible to capture the entire group at once.

Wuhan is not Nanjing. There won’t be so many undercover cells of the Special High Section here. We took down one last time and we took down another this time. There won’t be many of them left.

The agents of the Japanese Army Intelligence Department had been cleared out by them before. If they could eliminate all the agents of the Special High Section, it would be like they had no eyes at all in Wuhan.

"Stationmaster, I'm glad you're back. I never had a good night's sleep during your absence."

Yan Ming smiled bitterly. He was speaking from the heart. After being brought out by Xu Qingyun, Yan Ming had grown a lot, but he was still not capable of controlling a station.

More than a year ago, he was just an ordinary member of the intelligence team.

He did make rapid progress in solving cases, but management and case handling are different, and if the stationmaster had not returned early, something would have happened in the station sooner or later.

Even though Xu Qingyun has only been gone for over a month, there are already some bad rumors within the station.

If there hadn't been any movement from the headquarters, there would probably be more people who were suspicious.

The main thing is that they can contact Nanjing. Someone asked about the situation of their station chief in Nanjing, but it turned out that no one knew. Xu Qingyun was in Guangzhou and only occasionally sent telegrams to ask about Wuhan. He couldn't keep track of it all the time. Without news about Xu Qingyun, many people in the station were worried.

Everyone knows that Wuhan Station can be what it is today and everyone can get so many benefits, all thanks to Xu Qingyun.

Once the webmaster is changed, no webmaster will treat them like Xu Qingyun.

"You, what a great opportunity to practice."

Xu Qingyun smiled and shook his head. Yan Ming was actually very good and one couldn't ask too much of him.

As for himself, although he was young in this life, he was an expert of nearly 40 years old in his previous life. With several decades of experience in later lives, managing a station was naturally not a problem for him.

The day after Xu Qingyun returned to Wuhan, the old man forcefully announced the cancellation of the two most important departments in the southwest. The countdown to Chen Tangji's demise had begun.

A few days later, Yu Hanmou officially launched his march. As expected, many defending generals either surrendered or submitted, and Chen Tangji's power basically collapsed.

Chen Tangji still had dozens of planes, but unfortunately, under the leadership of these pilots, they took off collectively, and the air force that Chen Tangji had painstakingly built fell into the hands of the old man.

On the 18th, Chen Tangji fled to Hong Kong and officially announced his resignation. The farce that lasted for more than a month officially came to an end.

The people don’t care who wins. Whoever wins has nothing to do with them and it won’t bring them any real benefits. What they want is no war.

People living in this era understand best the difficulties of peace.

"Stationmaster, we have found four of them. After investigation, we have not found any other places he has visited multiple times. Do you want to close the net?"

Zhao San came to the office to report to Xu Qingyun. After coming back this time, Bai Baogen's case still belonged to him.

Because of the incident in Guangzhou, his military rank had not yet been confirmed. Now that the matter in Guangzhou is over and Zhao San has made contributions, his military rank will be promoted in the next two days.

"Okay, close the internet."

Xu Qingyun nodded. After Yan Ming discovered the team leader and another subordinate, he found two more subordinates in the past few days.

Including Baibaogen, there are four in total.

Zhao San conducted a detailed investigation on the team leader and found that the dead mailbox was a place he went to every month. There were only these four places, not anywhere else.

It can be basically concluded that there are five people in this group.

"Yes."

Zhao San took the order and left, and Bai Baogen's case could finally be settled.

This case can be said to be the longest one they have ever handled, from the time Jingkou remembered the pineapple to the time they found out about Bai Baogen, and they kept an eye on the case for such a long time, a total of more than four months.

Allowing these Japanese spies four more months of freedom was considered a kindness to them.

The arrest operation was commanded by Yan Ming, assisted by Lu Gaowa.

Yan Ming specifically gave the task of arresting the team leader to Zhao San.

The teams went out and soon captured several Japanese spies.

Yan Ming had the most experience in catching people, and all five were captured alive.

When Bai Baogen was caught, he was stunned and had no idea why he was caught.

It was not until he arrived at the Military Intelligence Department that he realized he had been exposed.

Yan Ming and Zhao San were in charge of the interrogation, which was carried out simultaneously in two torture rooms. Xu Qingyun no longer participated in such interrogations.

At this moment, Xu Qingyun was sending a telegram.

Sent it home.

It is the second half of 36. It is time to get the two elderly people in the family moving. We cannot wait until next year. We must let them pay more attention to their own business and understand its earning power. Only then will they shift their focus here.

It will be easier to get them to leave their hometown in the future.

"Second Master, there's a telegram from the young master."

At the Xu family in Haifeng, the housekeeper Uncle Peng trotted all the way to the side of Xu Qingyun's father.

"Give it to me quickly."

Xu Jiaming immediately stretched out his hand. The Xu family was a prominent family in the local area, and their family tree was arranged according to the order of "a family of officials, leaving a good reputation in history".

Although there are homophones, they are not the same characters.

Xu Qingyun and his family are from the Qing generation, while his father’s generation is from the Jia generation.

"Let's go to Chongqing?"

After reading the telegram, Xu Jiaming was slightly stunned. The telegram did not say much, but just invited him and his elder brother to go to Chongqing together to take a look at their industries in Chongqing first.

After visiting Chongqing, go to Shanghai.

This time Xu Qingyun will also go to Chongqing and take them with him.

Considering that the two were already quite old, Xu Qingyun specifically suggested that they go to Tianjin to take a plane, and he would arrange a plane to take them to Chongqing.

There must be more than two of them going out. The Xu family is a large family, and with the guards, there must be at least ten people. Xu Qingyun's plan is to charter a plane for them and send them there directly.

It’s not difficult to charter a plane. Just ask Ma Xiangshun to find someone in the concession.

"Brother, Qingyun wants us to go to Chongqing, what do you think?"

With the telegram, Xu Jiaming came to his elder brother. After reading the telegram, Xu Jiazhi didn't think much about it: "Since Qingyun asked us to go and take a look, let's go, but is the plane safe?"

He was worried about the plane. Neither of them had ever been on a plane in their lives.

Airplanes fly in the sky, and the sky always feels less solid than the ground.

"How about I ask Qingyun, maybe we can take the train to Wuhan and take the boat to Chongqing with him?"

Xu Jiaming also did not have much confidence in airplanes. They could go to Tianjin first, take a train to Peking, and then take a train from Peking to Wuhan.

Although this journey takes longer, it is safer.

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

Xu Jiazhi nodded. Their reply did not reach Xu Qingyun so quickly. The Xu family did not have a radio station, so they had to send a civilian telegram.

Fortunately, the local authorities treated the Xu family differently. Once the Xu family's telegrams were received, they were always delivered immediately, without waiting for a while like others. Xu Qingyun was a little surprised when he received their telegrams.

The two of them were worried about flying, so they wanted to take a train to Wuhan and then take a boat to Chongqing together.

For Xu Qingyun, it doesn’t matter how he comes, as long as he can come.

Xu Qingyun soon called back and asked them to send a telegram before leaving so that he could pick them up at the train station.

In addition to them, Xu Qingyun also sent a telegram to Xu Qingshi.

Let Xu Qingshi bring Xu Sanming to Wuhan, and after picking up their families, the whole family will go to Chongqing.

Xu Qingshi cannot stay in Nanjing forever and must go to Chongqing in advance. Things are going well in Chongqing now. Even if he can go to Chongqing later, it will be difficult to arrange a good position for him.

As for whether Xu Qingshi's position would be replaced by someone else after the arrangement, Xu Qingyun had no worries at all.

The current Military Intelligence Department is already so powerful, and the Military Control Commission will be even stronger in the future.

A real boss doesn't care about the position of a director. The people he cares about have no right to challenge the Military Control Commission.

Neither he nor Xu Zhanjie are people who can be easily offended.

Not to mention that they have the famous boss Dai behind them.

"Going to Chongqing?"

Xu Qingshi was also surprised when he received the telegram, but this time not only he but also his parents were going, so he had no way to refuse.

But why bring Xu Sanming with you to Chongqing?

Fortunately, it is summer vacation now and Xu Sanming doesn't have any classes, so it doesn't matter if I take him with me. It's a good opportunity for him to go out and see the world.

Three days later, Xu Qingshi arrived in Wuhan first.

After receiving the telegram, he made preparations. It didn't matter if he was not at the police station, as they were all his people inside. With Xu Erxi watching, no one else would make any unusual moves.

If there is real movement, we have to see if we can withstand his counterattack when he comes back.

Xu Sanming was very happy about this trip. He had never been far away since coming to Nanjing from Shanghai, and his memory of Shanghai was very vague. In his impression, Nanjing was his home, especially the Xu family, which really gave him a sense of home.

At the train station, Xu Qingyun and Xu Qingshi came together to pick someone up, both in plain clothes.

They didn't need to wear uniforms this time when they went to Chongqing.

Wearing uniforms would only scare people. In the army and the police station, both of them were of high rank. Although Xu Qingyun was only a lieutenant colonel, there were not many lieutenant colonels so young.

Zhao San followed behind him. He was wearing a military uniform today and looked very energetic.

The rank of lieutenant is particularly prominent.

His lieutenant rank was finally confirmed, and Xu Qingyun fulfilled his promise by promoting him to the station chief's secretary on the same day he was promoted to lieutenant.

The salary of a lieutenant station chief's secretary is a bit low, but Xu Qingyun himself is only a lieutenant colonel, and was a major when he took office, so others can't say anything.

The webmaster's secretary is a serious position, reported to the headquarters, and has additional subsidies.

Secretary Zhao San was finally promoted to a full-time position, no longer working under the title of deputy secretary as before.

"coming."

The train in the distance slowly pulled into the station. Xu Qingyun and Xu Qingshi got off immediately to pick up their parents.

Nine people came from the Xu family this time, including two old men and their wives, the housekeeper Uncle Peng, and four guards.

They did not take first class seats, but bought second class.

Although the Xu family is rich, they have been taught since childhood not to waste money. First-class seats are too expensive, and several elderly people cannot afford them. Second-class seats are just as good and are not as crowded as third-class seats. For them, as long as they can get to their destination, it is enough.

"Father, mother."

Xu Qingyun walked over. His parents were not carrying anything. Their luggage was in the hands of the guards.

The guards of the Xu family have all undergone rigorous training. The predecessors of the Xu family have been to the battlefield and brought many soldiers with them.

These guards are all descendants of those soldiers. Although they have never been on the battlefield, their usual training is no less than that of the army.

“So many cars?”

Noticing the car parked on the platform, Xu Jiaming was stunned. Xu Qingyun drove all the cars in the station over to pick someone up this time.

There were already many people coming, and with the addition of people from the Xu family, it wouldn't be so crowded if there were more cars.

Now that my parents are here, it is definitely impossible to let them go back on the truck.

"You guys get in the car first."

Xu Qingyun smiled. It was already evening. Xu Qingyun bought tickets for the day after tomorrow. If there were not so few first-class cabins, he would have bought all of them.

Let them rest today, take a look around Wuhan tomorrow, and then set off for Chongqing the day after tomorrow.

"You stay here first."

Xu Qingyun took them to the hotel. There were not so many houses in the station, so it was not suitable for them to stay, so the hotel would be fine.

As it concerns the safety of his family, Xu Qingyun has deployed some people here, together with his own guards. As long as the Japanese don't find out and retaliate wildly, and there are not too many people coming, they will be fine.

"Are they all your men?"

Xu Jiaming noticed the people following behind him and asked in a low voice. Xu Qingyun looked back and nodded immediately: "Yes, the Japanese are a threat to me. Every time I go out, I will bring more people with me."

After hearing what he said, Xu Jiaming immediately had no other thoughts: "Yes, we should bring more people. Safety is important."

His son's safety was the most important thing to him. He knew something about it during the Chinese New Year and that Xu Qingyun had indeed captured a lot of Japanese.

I was caught when I was in Tianjin.

Wuhan at that time was far less prosperous than it would be in later generations. The most prosperous area was the French Concession. Some places in the city were also nice, but there were no foreign-style buildings.

The famous Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed by fire fifty years ago and has not been rebuilt due to years of war.

The riverside at that time was not as clean and beautiful as it is in later generations, and there was not much scenery truly worth appreciating.

As for the dock, it was full of workers working hard. It was very messy and dirty, and there was nothing to see.

There are some tourist attractions outside the city, but my parents are not here for tourism this time, so there is no need to keep them in Wuhan all the time. Just take a look.

After only half a day of strolling, Xu Qingyun took them back to rest.

There is not much to see, but there are a lot of delicious foods in Wuhan. In the next two days, we can let them try more of the food here. I just don’t know if they can get used to it.

"Qingyun, you can just take them to Chongqing, why do you have to ask me to come along?"

The next day, on the boat, Xu Qingshi pulled Xu Qingyun aside and asked softly.

"Brother, do you remember the situation I analyzed for you before?"

"Remember, you don't think we will have to fight the Japanese now and Nanjing will not be able to be defended, right?"

Xu Qingshi nodded. The last conversation left a deep impression on him, so he naturally remembered it.

"I know the Japanese better than you do. In fact, Uncle Chen's son came to my place last time and I talked a lot with him. We both agreed that the war will start within three to five years."

"Three to five years. So fast?"

Xu Qingshi's eyebrows jumped. Like most people, he believed that war might break out, but it would last a long time.

At least not in the short term.

"Three years is the longest time I estimated. They only told Mr. Chen three to five years."

Xu Qingyun did not hide the fact from his brother. In fact, the war would start in just one year, or even less than a year.

It is already late July and we are about to enter August.

"Even if it's three years, it's still early, and that's Nanjing."

Xu Qingshi didn't want to leave, mainly because he hadn't established contact with the organization yet, and he had no way of going directly to Yanzhou to look for the organization, especially since he was certain that his 'senior brother' was still in Nanjing.

"We should prepare for a rainy day. We can't wait until then to make plans. Besides, I plan to ask the two old men in the family to come out. By then, my uncle will be in Chongqing and my father will go to Shanghai. You will have someone to take care of you in Chongqing."

Xu Qingyun shook his head and said that he didn't expect to convince his brother this time. Just like last time, he wanted to give him a preventive shot and a reminder first.

And he had a way to get his brother to go to Chongqing on his own initiative.

"talk later."

Sure enough, Xu Qingshi still did not agree. He was a man of his own ideas. Although he agreed with his brother's words, he would not follow his brother's arrangements in everything.

Xu Qingyun didn't say much to him. He would tease Xu Sanming when he had free time. This kid had never been far away, especially on a boat. He was fascinated by the beautiful scenery on the river.

They arrived in Chongqing the next day.

Ma Xiangshun was already waiting with his men, and came over to greet them as soon as he saw them.

When Xu Qingyun went to Guangzhou, he asked Ma Xiangshun to come to Chongqing. This time he was not asked to make large purchases, as too much is as bad as too little. He had already bought a lot of things last time. This time he was asked to choose a site to see if there was a suitable place to build a factory.

Many things are imported and the cost is too high.

If some things can be produced by ourselves, it is best to produce them domestically. Things like stockings are not easy to make now, so just do something else.

The exquisite luxury does not end there.

Unfortunately, Xu Qingyun could not get the authorization for the sulfa drug he wanted most because the other party offered too high a price and he was now short of funds.

However, before the war, we will find a way to obtain these authorizations to avoid being completely strangled by the Japanese.

"Master, Second Master."

Ma Xiangshun came to Xu Jiazhi and the others first and greeted them respectfully.

Behind him was a row of cars.

Before leaving, Xu Qingyun sent him a telegram, asking him to prepare more cars as there would be more people coming this time.

Xu Qingyun brought twenty members of the action team. Although Xu Qingshi did not bring any, there were already more than thirty people including them, so they would not be able to do without fewer cars.

Ma Xiangshun brought a total of ten cars, and this row of cars was particularly conspicuous at the dock.

Xu Qingyun's business has two cars in Chongqing, and the rest were borrowed by Ma Xiangshun. The main reason is that the car rental companies here don't have so many cars for rent, and they mainly rent trucks.

Ma Xiangshun didn't want some of the cars either, as they were all second-hand, old and shabby cars, like antiques, and who knew if they would break down along the way.

"this?"

Xu Jiaming was stunned again. He was already surprised to see so many cars at the train station last time, but he didn’t expect there would be even more this time.

He even took a closer look at Ma Xiangshun. In his impression, Ma Xiangshun was a loyal and honest shopkeeper. When did he become so ostentatious?
"Second Master, the young master said that there are many people and they need many cars, so I brought so many cars."

Ma Xiangshun took the initiative to explain, he saw Xu Jiaming's confusion.

"Dad, get in the car."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and shook his head. This was totally irrelevant. They would be even more shocked later.

Chongqing today is not what it used to be. Without the many years of operation by the Fruit Party, many houses are low-rise. In addition, Chongqing has a special terrain, so walking is very tiring without a car.

Two points that may seem very close may actually take a long time to reach, like climbing a mountain.

When they arrived at the largest hotel in the city, Ma Xiangshun had already booked a room for them.

Including the team members brought by Xu Qingyun, everyone will live here.

"Uncle, Dad, let's eat first, and then take a walk around Chongqing. I'll show you around."

After everything was packed up, Xu Qingyun came to the two old men and spoke softly.

"Qingyun, it's still early now. There's no rush to eat. What's so interesting here? Let's go to your business first."

Xu Jiazhi shook his head first. During the Chinese New Year, Xu Qingyun said that he now has a large business and handles countless amounts of money every year.

When the business grows, it’s most reassuring to have our own family looking after it.

They came to Chongqing to find out whether what Xu Qingyun said was true.

"Okay, let's go now."

Xu Qingyun did not refuse. The company must go. Not only that, but also they must let them know how the business is going.

The business was not far away, and they had a car, so they arrived quickly.

This is Baixiang Street, one of the most prosperous areas in Chongqing.

Xu's Business is located in the center of Baixiang Street. It is located in a separate building with ten storefronts, filled with various counters filled with goods from all over the world.

Before Xu's Trading Company, there were only a few scattered shops in Chongqing, which were far smaller than theirs.

Seeing the facade and sign of Xu’s Business, the two old men were stunned again.

Much bigger than the ones they have in Tianjin.

Even the big foreign stores can't compare to them.

"this is yours?"

Xu Jiaming couldn't help asking, Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded: "This is ours."

There are people in the store, not many customers, but there are quite a few too.

The prices of the things here are very high. One or two dollars are considered cheap. Things that cost dozens or hundreds can be found everywhere, and some even cost hundreds or even thousands.

In order to protect the industry, Xu Qingyun has to spend a lot of money every year to manage it.

Noticing the foreigner at the door, the two old men's eyes widened even more. A foreigner was guarding their house?
Not only in Shanghai, Xu Qingyun also hired a lot of foreigners in Chongqing.

Many times, foreigners are more intimidating than Chinese people.

"Master, Second Master, please come in."

This place was built by Ma Xiangshun, and this was the first time for Xu Qingyun to come here. Without him leading the way, Xu Qingyun had no idea what it looked like inside.

Fortunately, the two old men were not ignorant people. They had been to the Nine-Nation Concession in Tianjin and had seen the world.

Even so, they were shocked when they went in.

Many things don’t look big, but the prices are extremely high. The two old men have both been in business, and they know how to observe when entering a store.

Walking slowly and looking slowly, after about fifteen minutes, the two looked at each other.

In just a quarter of an hour, they saw five people buy things and leave. Every time someone bought something, they would pay attention to the money they paid.

They paid in legal tender, but had to get an invoice to get the goods. The salesperson only sold the goods and did not collect the money.

The one who collects the money does not sell anything. The two people have the bills to reconcile, and whoever doesn't match will have that person's problem.
