The Life of a Son-in-Law in a Courtyard House

Director Hou snorted coldly: "Tch, do you think I believe you or not?"

They even handed over 80% of it. How could I not know the people who were out on missions?

Who doesn't secretly save up a little nest egg for themselves?

Alright, I don't care if you guys manage to get some extra funding.

Remember, you are part of an organization; completing the task is your top priority.

Don't be a slave to money; be its master.

You're still young, don't let money blind you.

"Yes, Director, I understand." I didn't expect Director Hou to know this phrase.

He seems to be no ordinary person.

However, Yang Dalin was willing to associate with Director Hou because Director Hou was not meddlesome and wouldn't make a big deal out of things.

It's a special department, we have to deal with all sorts of people, we have informants from all walks of life, and they always escalate things and control us very strictly, how can we complete our mission?

"Okay, that's good."

Don't think I'm being long-winded. Other intelligence personnel, despite their age, aren't as efficient as you in carrying out missions.

They can't compete with you in terms of funding. The international situation has been changing rapidly lately, and I need to send a large number of people there in advance to make arrangements. However, the funding has been insufficient, so I can only seek sponsorship from people like you who go abroad to carry out missions.

Not just you, I congratulated everyone else on their good fortune.

Don't hold any grudges.

Yang Dalin immediately replied, "No, Director, I have no qualms about it."

"Okay, that's good."

Yang Dalin heard Director Hou say that there was a lack of funds to deploy more foreign intelligence personnel, so he followed Director Hou's lead and handed over some money.

But I don't dare to spend too much.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain.

However, this is indeed a good time to deploy more foreign intelligence personnel in China.

After all, both the bald eagle and the Russian intelligence personnel suffered heavy losses.

This is a great opportunity.

China should actually learn from the tough stance of the intelligence organizations of Russia and the United States.

Sometimes it can't be too soft.

After writing the check, Yang Dalin asked, "Director, is the organization really short of funds?"

Should I get you more next time I go out?

Director Hou quickly stopped him: "No, you all go out. The main purpose is to complete the mission."

Instead of focusing solely on making money.

While chatting with Director Hou, Yang Dalin suddenly had an idea.

It's 64 years old this year, and the wind is about to pick up.

If I were to be seconded to Hong Kong Island for a period of time, to work for China Resources, or to establish a company there.

How about being stationed on Hong Kong Island long-term in the future?

Yang Dalin didn't want to see the misfortunes that befell many people the year after next; he was afraid he wouldn't be able to resist the urge to kill.

Yang Dalin feared he might not be able to resist taking action against students who dissected their teachers' bodies in order to gather intelligence, or those who tortured their teachers to death.

The key issue is that there were many young students who were carried away by their emotions at that time, and he couldn't possibly kill them all.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Otherwise, he feared he might not be able to resist the urge to kill.

It's better to stay away.

This year we're going to Hong Kong Island to lay the groundwork. After I marry Sister Yan next year, I'll bring her to Hong Kong Island.

It's not a big deal if they don't allow it.

I have so many powerful people I know protecting my family.

Besides, Sister Yan is now also the child of a martyr.

When the wind picks up, most people wouldn't dare to mess with it.

Unless it's something that doesn't know its own limitations.

There are so many capable capitalists in China; they can pick and choose which ones to use.

Wouldn't it be better to let them go abroad and earn money for the country?

It's better than killing them all, locking them all up, or scaring them all away.

Like Lou Bancheng, it's better to let him do something for the country in his limited life than to die young in despair.

They were told to give up their domestic shares and establish various companies abroad.

They planted Director Hou's intelligence agents inside.

They have no shortage of funds, and they have no shortage of places to hide their identities. Isn't that great?

Isn't this how many foreign intelligence agents are arranged?

It seems like the dumbest method, but it really works.

After the reform and opening up, many foreign-funded enterprises and joint ventures that entered China have been found to be full of foreign spies, haven't they?

There are far too many cases like this.

If Kou can go there, so can I.

Yang Dalin quickly shared his idea with Director Hou.

After listening, Director Hou lit a cigarette and asked, "Are those capitalists trustworthy?"

Yang Dalin said, "Director, we are the ones leading this, but we can't let these people know. We need to get the economic department in charge."

They could go to Hong Kong Island first, and then set up companies in other countries around the world.

It's better than them hiding all their money and not daring to use it.

I will naturally go too. I will also provide some funds when these companies start up and control a large number of shares in these companies. They only need to make money and will not know my identity.

Controlling some shares would make it easier for me to oversee their company, and having a new identity would also make it easier for me to carry out tasks at their branches in various countries.

Then you secretly place people into these companies.

Of course, you should keep the people you secretly arranged a secret from everyone.

This way, all these people will maintain a one-way communication, and no one will know anyone else.

This prevents the arrest of one person or the defection of one person from implicating a whole host of others.

I'll secretly send funds to these people for you.

You'll be in charge of issuing the tasks and assigning specific personnel to distribute the funds. I can then set up a few shell companies and hire locals as bosses.

These people were then allowed to apply for positions at these companies that required frequent travel, posing as salespeople.

In other words, these intelligence personnel hold positions in one or more companies.

However, these can all be jobs that don't require long-term office work.

This makes it much safer.

As we have more funding, train more people, and the companies grow larger, we won't need to risk our lives to gather certain information.

They may have acquired it through their daily interactions with business owners or government departments.

This business model penetration is more effective and safer.

It is also more concealed.

They might form a business alliance with local people with connections, and the local government would have to protect these companies and our intelligence personnel.

Because it can form a community of shared interests.

Besides, we're not necessarily just after profits from these companies.

Director Hou nodded and said, "Actually, we've had this model for a long time, but we just haven't been able to scale it up."

Now that you mention it, it does make some sense.

Okay, I'll try reporting it this afternoon.

If it's feasible, you'll be residing on Hong Kong Island permanently from now on.

But are you capable of doing business?

Do you want me to arrange for a few people to help you?

"Sure, it would be great if you could send a few reliable people over to help me."

Don't worry about the business; I've already come up with a good business idea.

"Really? What kind of business?"

"Selling televisions!"

"Selling televisions, is that feasible?"

We now have television factories in China, and with the recent introduction of some technology, they are developing quite well.

However, there are still relatively few domestically produced ones that can be afforded; if we produce too much, we might not be able to sell it.

"Director, this kind of business is definitely going to work. You've only seen things in China; the standard of living is much higher abroad than here."

"We can do export business in the future!"
