The Spy

Chapter 316: A Handsome Man

They have been in the military for many years and are most familiar with the effects of sulfonamides.

It can be said that sulfonamide is the most needed drug on the battlefield, a life-saving drug. Many wounded soldiers died due to severe infections after being injured, and without sulfonamide. If sulfonamide was available, at least most of them could be saved, and these elite veterans could be preserved.

The biggest disadvantage of sulfa drugs is that they have strong drug resistance and cannot be used multiple times. But at the same time, the effect is very good when used for the first time. Sulfa drugs can bring many people back from the brink of death.

"They are too strict and we don't have that much money."

After watching the advertisement, General Zhang smiled bitterly and said that he was only the dean of education now. The school had money, but the school's money had nothing to do with him and he could not use it to become a sulfa agent.

As for the relationship mentioned in the advertisement, he definitely has it, which is consistent with this.

"Boss, let's think of a way. If we can get the agency rights for sulfa, we can even borrow money. We can make money by selling it. When we make money, we can store the drugs. If we encounter a war again, we can have fewer regrets."

Lu Zhiheng quickly said that he was a soldier who had participated in many wars and was also aware of the effects of sulfonamides.

"Go check the background of this business first."

After thinking for a while, General Zhang nodded. Sulfonamide was very important to him, and he had to give it a try even if he had no money.

It's not for myself, but for the soldiers under my command in the future.

"Yes."

Lu Zhiheng replied, "It's good that the general is interested. The person you want to contact looks like a foreigner, but the name of this trading company obviously belongs to China."

It is not ruled out that the Chinese gave it a foreign name.

Advertisements in Shanghai are sent out in advance, while advertisements in other places are sent out the next day.

Similar situations to General Zhang's occurred in various places. Businessmen were sharp-sighted and knew that sulfa drugs could make money. Many big businessmen who considered themselves qualified began to take action, and military generals were also paying attention to this matter.

For them, sulfa drugs are not only a way to make money, but also a way to preserve and enhance their own strength.

Ten new recruits are not as good as one veteran who has survived the battlefield. Saving a veteran is far more effective than recruiting ten new recruits.

Especially for officers, saving more officers' lives is equivalent to preserving strength.

The advertisement caused a huge stir, and many people from all over the country were sent to Shanghai to inquire about the situation of Xu's Business.

For most people, this advertisement has nothing to do with them.

But a recruitment information in Mr. Chen’s hometown Jimei made many local people excited.

Mr. Chen, a local philanthropist in Jimei who has opened many schools here, wants to recruit 200 young and strong men from his fellow villagers to go to Singapore to serve as guards for the Chen family.

Mr. Chen is very famous in his hometown. As soon as the news came out, many people started asking around about how to sign up.

Many people still feel sorry about this.

Mr. Chen never cheats others, let alone his own family. He made it very clear during the recruitment process that the people he recruited this time were guards who needed training and were somewhat dangerous.

But Mr. Chen will try his best to protect their safety. There are not so many wars in Singapore, so generally speaking, nothing will happen.

Even so, Mr. Chen still offered each person a high salary of twenty yuan, and there would be additional rewards at the end of the year.

Twenty dollars a month is more than two hundred dollars a year, and with the rewards it’s almost three hundred dollars.

Mr. Chen made it clear that as long as he was selected, food and accommodation, clothing and vacation home to visit family members every year would be provided, and he would not have to spend any money of his own.

This means they can save three hundred dollars every year.

It's ocean money, not legal tender.

Taking into account the certain depreciation of legal tender, Mr. Chen simply gave the money directly in dollars, or converted it into other currencies of equal value.

With Mr. Chen's prestige, all the villagers believed that this was true. Many people who had not yet started a family were very upset that they had missed such a good opportunity.

It is clearly stated in the recruitment process that the only person who can be accepted is someone with a clean background, a married family, parents and children.

Xu Qingyun was right. This type of people were the most stable and the most loyal to the Chen family.

Those who have not started a family or have no children have missed this opportunity.

Those who meet the requirements happily look for others to sign up, hoping that they will be selected so that their whole family can live a good life.

Before Chen Changcun arrived, there were already more than five hundred people who came to register. A large number of people came to register every day, and it was estimated that there would be at least more than a thousand people.

People of this era get married early, and even if they have children, they are still very young, which meets Mr. Chen's recruitment criteria.

"Master Chen, this is the registration form. Eight hundred and thirty-one people have signed up."

When Chen Changcun arrived, an official here greeted him and immediately told him the situation. Chen Changcun was stunned. He knew that it would be no problem for him to recruit 200 people, but he didn't expect that more than 800 people would sign up as soon as they arrived.

The number completely exceeded two hundred.

"Many people have signed up in the past two days. We have limited staff, and we expect the number of applicants to reach at least 2,000."

The official smiled and said that the Chen family was a prominent family in the local area, someone they dared not offend but also someone they wanted to curry favor with.

"You have done a great job. Your hard work will not be in vain this time."

Chen Changcun nodded slightly. As long as there were enough people who signed up, it would be good. This way he could carefully select the 200 most obedient and combat-ready people.

After training, they will definitely become the exclusive force of the Chen family.

Many people signed up, which made it convenient for Chen Changcun. Priority was given to those who could read, those who were strong, and those with good reputation.

This would save time in training them in cultural subjects, and he only needed to select fifty people for the first batch, which would be easier to achieve.

In Shanghai, Cassius is already very busy.

There are a lot of people coming to inquire every day. Many people nearby have already come to his door. Some people even give him money or use their connections to hire him, hoping to get the agency qualification.

Cassius knew who had given him what he had today, and he did not dare to accept the money privately.

The main thing is that he doesn't guarantee that he can get things done even if he takes the money.

Even though he had connections with high-ranking officials of the Municipal Council, they were only smiling at him for the sake of Xu's company.

Don't think that foreigners are gentlemen. They have a strict hierarchy as well. Without Xu's Company, these people might not even pay any attention to him.

There are quite a few foreigners, and even more poor people, otherwise Xu's company would not have been able to hire so many foreigners to serve as bodyguards.

"Managers, these are some of the people who have passed the review and I think meet the requirements."

In the evening, Cassius came to report to Ma Xiangshun and Xu Fuzhong. Xu Fuzhong was nominally the manager of the company, which just happened to make people misunderstand that Xu's company belonged to his property.

Cassius understood that the most authoritative person in the firm was Ma Xiangshun.

However, the ones who really make the decisions are not them but the bosses behind them.

The master named Xu Jiaming.

Even though Cassius was the deputy manager, he only knew this much and was not aware of Xu Qingyun's existence.

Xu Qingyun had only been to the company once, in the early days, and had only met Ma Xiangshun and Xu Fuzhong.

"Well done. We will check their situation carefully and let the boss make the decision."

Ma Xiangshun said with a smile, and Cassius left after delivering the things. Ma Xiangshun also didn't know Xu Qingyun's purpose this time, as he was not the one who signed up openly at all.

Like Jiang Taigong fishing, he will wait at the Shanghai station for the real target to come.

"Boss, we have found out that there is indeed someone behind Xu's Company. I'm afraid you can't even guess who this person is."

Nanjing, after three days of investigation, Lu Zhiheng finally found out all the details of Xu's Business.

Xu Qingyun had long understood that if the real boss wanted to, he would be able to find out the relationship between him and Xu's Company.

"who is it?"

General Zhang raised his head. He had been busy these days, trying to find a way to borrow money. It was not difficult to borrow some money with his status, but it was equally difficult to reach the amount required by the agent.

But he understood that business is negotiation.

If someone asks for a price, you can bargain, unless you are a person with no power and have to do what the other party asks, otherwise everything can be negotiated.

"The head of the Shanghai station of the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun."

In front of his boss, Lu Zhiheng didn't dare to keep the secret and replied immediately.

"Xu Qingyun, it's him."

General Zhang's eyes widened. He really didn't expect it to be Xu Qingyun. Lu Zhiheng had found out before that Xu Fuzhong was not the real boss. He was working for others.

This person is most likely in the Fruit Party and has a certain status, otherwise he would not dare to do this.

He thought about all the high-ranking officials of the Guo Party named Xu, but found no one who fit the bill.

He had indeed not thought of Xu Qingyun before. Although the station chief of the Military Intelligence Department's Shanghai Station seemed to be of high rank, he was not a big shot in his eyes.

"That's right. Xu's Company is owned by the Xu family. It was established not long ago, but it does a lot of business. Not only does it have a very good relationship with the Municipal Council and the Municipal Council, I heard that they also have deep connections in the United States, Britain, and France."

Lu Zhiheng conducted a very detailed investigation. Although the company belonged to the Xu family, the actual controller was Xu Qingyun.

How old is Xu Qingyun? He is even younger than him, but he has built such a big industry. Now he is openly recruiting sulfa agents, which really makes him admire him.

"Get ready and go to Shanghai to talk to him."

General Zhang did not hesitate. Sulfonamide was so important that he would not even be interested in asking if it was something else.

"Yes."

Lu Zhiheng responded that both he and the general had heard of Xu Qingyun's name, and more than once.

General Zhang was a staunch anti-Japanese element and hated the Japanese very much. Xu Qingyun captured so many Japanese spies and found out the traitors hidden among them. General Zhang once praised Xu Qingyun.

If they were not so incompatible with the Military Intelligence Department and Xu Qingyun was too young, he would even have thought of inviting Xu Qingyun to give lectures to their students.

Officers must not only be able to command battles, but counter-espionage and counter-reconnaissance are equally important.

If there are enemy spies around you, then everything is in front of the enemy, and it is impossible to win such a battle.

After Lu Zhiheng left, General Zhang held the pen, but his mind was not on the document in front of him.

Xu Qingyun actually has so many sulfonamides. He is a soldier, which is an advantage for him.

After all, he was the Dean of Education at the Army Officers School and a well-known figure in the Kuomintang army.

The main campus of the Army Officers School is in Nanjing, but it was originally located in Huangpu, also known as the Huangpu Military Academy. It is the most famous officer school in the country.

Including Dai Yunong from the Military Intelligence Department, all of them graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy.

In Shanghai, Xu Qingyun is receiving guests.

Lu Zhiheng was not the first person to come. The first people to come were from Nanjing. In fact, the first person to contact Xu Qingyun was Chu Zuo.

After discovering the recruitment advertisement of Xu's Trading Company, the director sent a telegram to Xu Qingyun.

Xu Qingyun told the director not to worry, as they had sulfa drugs in their business. The director was immediately satisfied with this reply.

Xu Qingyun will not only give you sulfa drugs, but also a lot of them.

Their business basically spread to the black markets in various places. The more sulfa drugs there are on the black markets, the more help they can provide to the comrades.

The current situation is difficult, and it is basically impossible for comrades to buy it in formal institutions. If they can buy it on the black market, it can save some comrades' lives.

Even if the price is a bit high, saving your life is the best outcome.

There are many people with great supernatural powers, but Xu Qingyun will not agree to all of them. As for using force, Xu Qingyun is not afraid of it.

The incident in Xi'an happened not long ago, but the old man still remembers him.

Even though he didn't say a word, just showing up in front of the old man was like getting a golden medal of immunity from death.

In that situation, who would dare to go to Xi'an and ask a lot of people to speak for the old man and carry out the rescue?

Xu Qingyun invited more than just Mr. Chen.

He asked consuls from various countries for help, to protect the old man openly or secretly.

These old men would definitely know it, there was no need for Xu Qingyun to say it himself.

Many things don't need to be said explicitly. It is better not to say them. Just let the old man know that he really wants to save people.

If you show off everywhere, it will be counterproductive.

"Excuse me, I'm Lu Zhiheng, secretary to the Dean of Education of the Central Army Officers School, and I want to meet your Stationmaster Xu."

Lu Zhiheng arrived in Shanghai very quickly. The train was convenient and he could leave in the morning and arrive in the afternoon.

"Please wait."

The sentry checked Lu Zhiheng's ID and immediately picked up the phone to call the station.

Lu Zhiheng observed the situation at the gate of Shanghai Station.

The sentry stood very straight, and this place was very clean, unlike other places where the entrance was very messy. This was very good, indicating that Xu Qingyun was very strict in disciplining his troops.

He has been with General Zhang for many years and knows General Zhang's character best.

What General Zhang disliked most were lazy soldiers, and he believed that such people could never accomplish anything. The school had strict management and the students performed well, and General Zhang had made a great contribution to this.

"Please."

Not long after, the sentry received a call and said to Lu Zhiheng respectfully.

After arriving in Shanghai, Lu Zhiheng changed into a military uniform before going to Shanghai Station. His rank of colonel was very conspicuous.

He knew the situation in the Military Intelligence Department. Xu Qingyun had just been promoted to colonel. In terms of rank, he and Xu Qingyun were the same, so this could reduce some trouble.

"Hello, Secretary Lu. I apologize for not welcoming you in person."

Xu Qingyun came to the office building to pick up Lu Zhiheng. When he saw Lu Zhiheng, he immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly. The person he was really waiting for finally arrived.

General Zhang's real name is Zhang Xizhi. Although he is in school, he has extremely high military literacy. In the subsequent Battle of Shanghai, General Zhang was one of the commanders, and it was General Zhang who was in command at the beginning.

If the old man hadn't always had fantasies and had really fought according to General Zhang's ideas, the outcome of the Battle of Husong might have been different.

Xu Qingyun cannot influence the old man now, so he will support the anti-Japanese war in other ways first.

"Stationmaster Xu, you are too polite."

Lu Zhiheng came to ask for help and was very humble.

Another point is that Xu Qingyun was not from Whampoa Military Academy, so he couldn't use this reason to build connections. It would be easier if he graduated from Whampoa Military Academy.

"Please."

Xu Qingyun made a gesture of invitation and took Lu Zhiheng to the reception room.

The reception room at Shanghai Station was not big, but it was very exquisite and luxurious inside. After the two of them sat down, Zhao San brought in some good tea.

The fruit snacks were already served before they came in.

These things will be there whether you eat them or not.

"Stationmaster Xu, please forgive me for coming here uninvited."

Before coming here, Lu Zhiheng did not tell Xu Qingyun and took the initiative to apologize.

"Look at what you said. If you can come, it will bring glory to our humble place."

Xu Qingyun responded with a smile. His attitude made Lu Zhiheng feel relieved. He then said, "I came here this time on the orders of the Dean of Education. He is very interested in your sulfa agency business and would like to ask if you can give him an agency right?"

Lu Zhiheng knew that they didn't have enough money, so he didn't talk about money for the time being.

First ask about the situation and see what Xu Qingyun says. If Xu Qingyun does not admit that Xu’s business has anything to do with him, we can only find a solution from other places.

"General Zhang is one of the people I admire most, of course no problem."

Xu Qingyun smiled and nodded. Lu Zhiheng was stunned. He agreed. Xu Qingyun just agreed like that?
He had thought of many words before coming. He had done some research for a few days and knew that many people were interested in the sulfa business, including some bigwigs in the military.

For example, the old man’s son-in-law, General Chen, was also investigating the situation of Xu’s business.

There is also General Li in Guangxi, General Feng in the Northwest, and so on.

"That's great. I thank you on behalf of General Zhang."

Since the other party agreed, Lu Zhiheng had no reason to say anything else. He hurriedly thanked him and finalized the matter first.

"Don't worry, I have something else to trouble General Zhang."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and shook his head. As long as the other party came to him on their own initiative, his goal would have been achieved. There was no need to put on airs and bargain with the other party.

"You say."

Lu Zhiheng sat up straight. This is right. How could someone give benefits to others without asking for any conditions?

Before coming this time, General Zhang specifically reminded him not to use force on Xu Qingyun and to have a good discussion with him. It would be best if he could get the agency rights, but it didn't matter if he couldn't.

General Zhang is not a person who bullies the weak.

"You also know that I didn't graduate from Huangpu, which will have some impact on my future development. Can you give me a student quota in the military academy? I won't go to school, but I will take the exam and graduate smoothly."

Although the current graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy are far inferior to those of the previous six classes, with this background, they can naturally talk to many people.

Short-term training is also possible, and there are classes like this, but it is not as effective as direct graduation.

Most of the short-term training is for military officers to go back for further studies. They are already students. Xu Qingyun did not graduate from Whampoa Military Academy and had no time to participate in such training.

"Okay, I'll pass it on for you."

After thinking about it, Lu Zhiheng nodded. He knew his boss's character and generally would not give people backdoors.

However, the conditions proposed by Xu Qingyun were not high. For General Zhang, it was just a small matter that could be done with just a little effort. It was not convenient for him to refuse directly, so he decided to wait until after the report.

"Thank you, Secretary Lu."

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to thank him, and Lu Zhiheng said a few more polite words.

He did not go back, but directly borrowed the radio station of Shanghai Station to send a telegram to the school, telling General Zhang the good news and the conditions proposed by Xu Qingyun.

The back and forth communication wastes too much time and is far less convenient than telegram.

In Nanjing, General Zhang soon received a telegram from Lu Zhiheng.

Xu Qingyun wants to come to school as a student, but not attend classes?
After thinking for a while, General Zhang shook his head slightly. There was no problem in accepting Xu Qingyun as a student. The fact that Xu Qingyun had captured so many Japanese spies was enough to prove his excellence, but the precedent of not attending classes must not be set.

Otherwise, the powerful people will try to squeeze people in in the future. However, since Xu Qingyun agreed to give him the power of attorney, he should accept this favor. This is the benefit that he brought to Xu Qingyun by taking the initiative to come.

Soon General Zhang wrote a reply and asked someone to send it to the Shanghai Station.

Lu Zhiheng doesn't use the phone because it's inconvenient to talk about these things on the phone. After all, it's a matter of human relationships and it wouldn't be good if others knew about it.

Telegram is the safest.

"Stationmaster Xu, the boss has replied to the telegram. It is a waste of your talent for you to be a student. Moreover, you are now a colonel, which is not suitable. The boss means that you can be hired as a school teacher and teach when you are free."

General Zhang had had this idea before. He could guess that Xu Qingyun just wanted the Whampoa identity, so he gave it to him. Although a teacher is not a student, he can sometimes play a better role than a student.

To the outside world, he is a member of Whampoa Military Academy, but to the inside, he is also a teacher to his future students.

At least the students who had attended his classes would bow respectfully when they saw him.

"That's great. Please ask Secretary Lu to convey my gratitude to General Zhang."

This result is better for Xu Qingyun. The conditions have been met, and the next step is to deal with the agency details.

What Lu Zhiheng didn't expect was that Xu Qingyun didn't set a minimum purchase amount for them. He gave them the agency rights and allowed them to purchase as much as they wanted each time.

This result made Lu Zhiheng very happy. He knew that the boss did not raise that much money. Unlike advertising, there were no funding restrictions. They had no worries at all.

Sulfonamide is easy to sell. After selling it, they can go and buy more. It won’t take long for them to accumulate enough capital to buy more sulfonamide.

There is no regional restriction on agency rights; they can sell goods wherever they want.

Xu Qingyun will sell this batch of sulfa drugs as soon as possible and only sell it domestically.

There is enough sulfa drugs in the country, which will be of sufficient help in the next war.

The first agency deal was concluded, and Lu Zhiheng happily went to the concession to find Cassius. The contract had to be signed at Xu's Trading Company.

Cassius was notified in advance that the agency rights were released.

None of the reports he had submitted before had been approved, but he didn't expect the boss to suddenly arrange someone to come in. He was a little confused, but he had to do as the boss ordered.

After signing the contract, Lu Zhiheng found a car and returned to Nanjing overnight despite the darkness.

He needs to report it as soon as possible and ask the boss to come and pick up the goods earlier.

General Zhang was the first and General Chen was the second.

The person sent by General Chen was also an adjutant named Chen Shouquan, and the negotiations went as smoothly as when Lu Zhiheng came.

After getting the authorization letter, he returned as quickly as Lu Zhiheng.

The third one belongs to General Xue. Xu Qingyun’s hook catches more and more fish, but also rejects many people.

He would rather not have these people because they are not his ideal partners.

As for General Li and General Feng, they are not in a hurry.

Xu Qingyun wanted to supply them, but there was a process he had to follow. He needed to report to the old man first and get the old man's permission before he could do it.

And he must go back in person.

"Qingyun."

"Brother Changcun."

Inside the train station, Xu Qingyun walked quickly forward and hugged Chen Changcun.

Chen Changcun has already recruited the first batch of fifty guards. These people have boarded the ship and are heading to Shanghai. He took a plane to Nanjing first.

Director Dai was very happy with the generous gift and expressed his full support for their training.

"Get in the car first."

Xu Qingyun said softly, Chen Changcun was not polite and sat in the back row with Xu Qingyun.

The driver was Leng Wenxuan and the co-pilot was Zhao San. Chen Changcun was very familiar with both of them as they had been to Singapore with Xu Qingyun before.

"I'm sorry to bother you this time, but you don't have to teach them cultural subjects for now. I'm only selecting people who can read this time."

Chen Changcun did not expect so many people to sign up. Although there were many illiterate people among them, there were also many who could read. Moreover, Mr. Chen had funded the construction of schools in his early years, laying the foundation for the local literacy rate.

According to their screening criteria, people from poor families are not eligible at all.

People who are too poor can’t even get married, so how can they have children?

Families with some money will think about teaching their children to read, especially boys, who are the future hope of the family. Many of them went to school when they were young, but later stopped studying for various reasons. Even those who are not very literate can read some simple things by themselves.

"Don't worry, Brother Changcun. I have already made arrangements here. Your people will be sent for training as soon as they arrive."

Xu Qingyun smiled and said, the instructors and venues are ready, and the time will not be long, only fifteen days, and the training now is just the basics, so there will be no big problem.

Yi Yongxiang had already reported their training plan, so there was no need for any hesitation, so Xu Qingyun approved its implementation.

"Thank you Qingyun, with these people, our pharmaceutical factory will be safer."

Chen Changcun was very happy. First, he saw Xu Qingyun again, and second, his family’s strength was enhanced.

These people are directly under the Chen family.

"Since you are in Shanghai, I will show you around."

Xu Qingyun chuckled and said that Shanghai was the most prosperous city in Asia at that time. In fact, Chen Changcun had been here more than once, but he did not refuse Xu Qingyun's kindness.

Two days later, the fifty people recruited by the Chen family arrived. After getting off the boat, they were taken to the training base and were not allowed to go out for fifteen days.

For this training, Chen Changcun gave Xu Qingyun ten thousand oceans, which is equivalent to two hundred oceans for each person's training.

The training fee was not low, and Xu Qingyun wanted to refuse, but Chen Changcun insisted on paying the money, so he had to give up in the end.

The Chen family attaches great importance to recruiting direct forces this time, and it is worth spending any amount of money.

Chen Changcun did not stay in Shanghai for long. After this group of people arrived, he returned to his hometown.

At the Shanghai station, all team leaders are present and Xu Qingyun is in a meeting.

They have been working for a while and each group has made considerable gains.

"Stationmaster, half of our informants are unqualified. There are indeed people who have taken advantage of various parties. I have already cleared them out."

The first person to report was the deputy station chief Fang Laibao, who was responsible for reviewing the spies. Xu Qingyun didn't want any waste, even if they were spies.

Unqualified informants may provide them with false information, wasting their time and energy.

In severe cases, it may even kill their loved ones.

"Well done, Zhao San. Compare their performances carefully and give awards to those who deserve them."

Xu Qingyun gave the order, and Zhao San immediately obeyed. After arriving in Shanghai, the responsibility of the selection still fell on him.

"Stationmaster, we checked the military and indeed found what you said. We have compiled part of the list and are verifying the rest."

There are not many troops stationed in Shanghai. After the last war, Japan did not allow China to station troops in Shanghai, so China had to use other methods to arrange soldiers here.

In addition to soldiers there are also police officers.

In addition, their Shanghai station is responsible for more than just Shanghai. The Military Intelligence Department has an intelligence group in Suzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai station.

The same investigation is required in Suzhou.

"Check them all, don't miss any one."

Yan Ming's work is the most important. The traitors in the army are the most harmful. Finding them in advance can avoid many casualties in the future.

"Yes."

Yan Ming responded, and Fu Wenzhen continued to report.

Their investigation was among the general public, so the workload was heavier. The members of the action team did not go out on the streets themselves. Instead, they compiled reports from people they found outside and then verified them.

Even so, they are very busy every day and have not yet completed the investigation.

Fu Wenzhen himself estimated that it would take until after the New Year to fully understand the situation of Shanghai residents who were loyal to the Japanese.

Time is not important, the most important thing is to find out.

They found out that the number of people was even greater, and Fu Wenzhen simply couldn't believe that there were so many people in the society who wanted to be the Japanese's lackeys.

Many people want to become Japanese.

If he hadn't found out the result himself, he wouldn't have believed it even if someone told him.

At present, they have verified and confirmed 35 people, all of whom have serious problems. Even Fu Wenzhen wanted to shoot after hearing their remarks, not to mention others.

The list of these people will be reported first, and they will continue to investigate the rest.

"Stationmaster, we found a teahouse that is not right."

The head of the interrogation team went on to report that they were mainly targeting the area around the Military Intelligence Department with the original intention of seeing if there were any suspects, but he discovered that the boss was exceptionally enthusiastic after their people went there.

Especially when they were sitting in the lobby drinking tea and chatting, the boss always liked to get close to them.

The team leader came from the intelligence group. After discovering this problem, he immediately realized that something was wrong and immediately launched an investigation into the boss.

According to his investigation, he discovered that the boss had been in contact with a mysterious man. The boss also told others that opening a teahouse can not only make money within the teahouse, but also in other aspects, and a lot of it.

He was very proud when he said this.

Ishida’s method is indeed good. The key is that Xu Qingyun has used it before. Although it is not the same method, it is very similar.

The person they are looking for is not an agent, so even if he is told to keep it confidential, he will still let the secret slip.

All these situations were recorded.

Xu Qingyun frowned and asked softly, "Have you found out who the mysterious man is?"

"Not yet. I don't dare to alert the enemy, so I have been investigating it myself."

The head of the interrogation team replied that he was from the intelligence team, but his subordinates were not. He did not dare to let his subordinates investigate directly. It was indeed inefficient for one person to handle the case.

"Well done." Xu Qingyun nodded.

"Don't just investigate this teahouse, Yanming, assign some people and let Zhiling lead the investigation."

Xu Qingyun then made arrangements. The interrogation team leader was named Chang Zhiling. Since he was the one who discovered the person, the case would be handed over to him.

Intelligence Group 4 made continuous contributions in Nanjing and Wuhan, and many people were promoted in military ranks.

Otherwise it would be difficult to arrange them to be team leaders. Chang Zhiling has the rank of captain, so it is a bit of a stretch for him to be the interrogation team leader, but he can do it.

It is not the later Military Control Commission period yet, and the team leader must be at least a colonel. Fang Laibao was a captain when he was in Tianjin, and was also the leader of the interrogation team.

"Stationmaster, don't worry. I only need three people."

Chang Zhiling responded immediately. He knew that the intelligence team was busy and couldn't occupy too many of their people. Three was just right.

To investigate where there are abnormalities, he can ask his men to go out and test them. These six people are just helping him to verify.

"That's it."

Xu Qingyun nodded. The work of each group was progressing smoothly. At present, the team leaders of each group played a very good leading role. They set an example. They were the busiest and the most tired. The old employees of the Shanghai Station saw how hard the team leaders worked and dared not to be lazy.

What's more, they are indispensable for rewards if the work is done well.

The Shanghai station didn't have much external assets, but they received a lot of gifts. After Xu Qingyun came to Shanghai, he received a lot of gifts. He didn't need to accept these gifts and used them all as rewards.

As for overseas production, there is no need for it for the time being.

If we arrange foreign assets now, they will become spoils of war for the Japanese after the fall of Shanghai.

It is not a good idea to set it up in the concession because the foreign assets cannot be kept secret and will easily be discovered by the Japanese. Even if they cannot target the industries in the concession, they can always send people to keep an eye on them.

It will be inconvenient to get the money then.

If the bonus is not enough, Xu Qingyun will sell part of the Shanghai station's assets.

Including houses and cars, and even training bases outside the city, just sell them first and then rent them back to continue using.

There are plenty of ways to find money.

In Nanjing, Xu Qingyun got off the train.

As the year-end is getting closer, Fang Laibao is temporarily in charge of Shanghai and there is no need for him to stay in the station all the time.

After giving Chang Zhiling the manpower, he found out in two days that the teahouse owner had contact with the Japanese and had received a lot of money from them.

The Japanese made arrangements around them and used these ordinary people to monitor them.

The Japanese move was indeed clever. Most people would never notice it. It was a pity that they met Xu Qingyun.

Chang Zhiling is responsible for verifying the situation. They cannot be alarmed for the time being. He needs to find out who is working for the Japanese before taking action.

Instead of doing good business, they insist on taking the Japanese money.

This money is poison. Once they get their hands on it, it is likely to kill them.

"I am Xu Qingyun, honored to meet you, Director."

When he arrived at the Military Intelligence Department, Xu Qingyun went to the director's office first, and then went to Xu Zhanjie's office later.

"Qingyun is back. I've already greeted him. I'll ask the chairman if he has time."

Seeing Xu Qingyun, the director immediately smiled. Before coming, Xu Qingyun had sent a secret telegram to report that his sulfa business attracted many people, some of whom he could not make decisions for and had to report to him.

And report it to the old man.

If he wants to see the old man, he can't go around the director.

Otherwise, the relationship that has been built with great difficulty will fall apart immediately.

"Thank you, Director."

Xu Qingyun sighed: "I wanted to do some business, but I didn't expect to attract so many people. They are too powerful. I can't handle it. Please help me."

"Haha, you can rest assured. As long as you have the chairman and me in your heart, you will be fine."

Virgo laughed. He was in a good mood during this period. Some things that had been stuck before, such as setting up more training classes, increasing funding, expanding the scale, etc., had been stuck more than once.

After returning from Xi'an, he reported these matters one after another and they were never blocked again.

Now everyone knows that he is one of the most trusted people around the old man. Many people become polite in front of him, and even the big guys are unwilling to provoke him easily.

With such opportunities, the Military Intelligence Department will surely grow bigger and better.

"Thank you, Director."

Xu Qingyun thanked him again, and soon after that the director received a call saying that the old man was free and could meet them.

"Come on, let's go there."

The director stood up, Xu Qingyun helped him pick up his coat, and they went out together.

The old man seemed to be in a good mood today. When Xu Qingyun saw him, the old man had a smile on his face.

"You are Xu Qingyun, you are indeed a handsome man."

When he saw Xu Qingyun, the old man looked at him carefully and then smiled.

As expected, he was the young man who was with Dai Yunong when he was in Xi'an. This young man was very good. After returning from Xi'an, the old man did pay more attention to Xu Qingyun.

Before, I only knew that he was a descendant of the Xu family and was a family friend of Mr. Chen.

The old man kept in mind what happened in Xi'an.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Chairman."

Xu Qingyun bowed his head to express his gratitude and immediately stated his purpose. This so-called recruitment of agents was to tie him up with the military leaders.

If he takes the initiative to visit these people, they will not refuse, but the priority will be different, and others will think that he wants to borrow the power of these people.

If he deliberately releases an agent, these people will come to him on their own initiative.

Don’t underestimate this effort. Xu Qingyun’s influence and status will be greatly enhanced.

In the future, even if Virgo wants to target him, he has to think carefully. Without something special, no one can pose a threat to Xu Qingyun anymore.

"Commissioner, I'm asking our director for help this time because I have something to report to you..."

Xu Qingyun explained the purpose of his visit. It was not just General Li and General Feng who were looking for him, but also some people who were not on the same page with the old man.

For example, General Song and others in Peking.

The old man listened carefully, and when Xu Qingyun finished speaking, he immediately asked, "Where did you get so much sulfa?"

"Commissioner, I did some business before, and later I got the sulfa license, and started several sulfa drug factories with Uncle Chen. The first one has already started production in Singapore."

Xu Qingyun said softly, and the old man immediately showed a look of surprise: "You also opened a pharmaceutical factory?"

"Yes, sulfa drugs are life-saving drugs. It would be best if we could produce this type of drug ourselves. Once a war breaks out, more soldiers' lives can be saved."

"You're right. I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable at such a young age. It seems that Mr. Chen has given you a lot of support."

The old man smiled and nodded. As the chairman, he naturally knew the importance of sulfa.

Xu Qingyun had mentioned before that he and Mr. Chen had opened a pharmaceutical factory together. Xu Qingyun also specifically mentioned that the first pharmaceutical factory had already started production in Singapore, which made him mistakenly believe that it was Mr. Chen who obtained the authorization and brought Xu Qingyun into the business.

In fact, Xu Qingyun said this on purpose to cause the old man to misunderstand.

Now is not the right time to let everyone know that he was the one who initiated everything.

Even the Director did not know the equity distribution between him and the Chen family, but he understood that Xu Qingyun was able to do business in partnership with Mr. Chen because Xu Qingyun himself was qualified.

"Uncle Chen has always taken good care of me."

Xu Qingyun took the initiative to speak, and the old man nodded slightly. That’s right, no wonder Xu Qingyun wanted to recruit an agent, they could produce it themselves.

As for the generals in the army wanting sulfa, he had no objection. The more sulfa in the army, the more soldiers would survive in the future.

Thanks to the old leader Yi Xin Qiuyue for the reward of 2000 Qidian coins again, and the update of words to make up for the words owed yesterday, and there is still words owed.
