Lin Mo still agrees with Su Hongjie's statement. Many of the Lin family's properties rely on the sharp rise in land prices, housing prices, and rents in Shanghai. Naturally, it is clear how much investment it takes to cover up the identity, tasks, etc. for their subordinates in Shanghai.

And there are risks such as losses, just like they seized Japanese spies in Nanjing, and the industries they operated and properties they purchased will basically be confiscated by them. Su Hongjie and others lurked in Shanghai. Although a large part of this place is not the Japanese territory, once exposed, it is extremely difficult to recover all the investment. The Japanese may interfere with others, and may also attack the buyer who takes action, etc., so there will definitely be losses.

So it is not possible to not operate. Even as Su Hongjie said, "Fixing those expenses is not enough. At least they must also get rid of these losses, and even have greater profits to provide more convenient support for their activities, tasks, etc.

"How is it? Are you interested? The bigger the business, the more tight the opponent's defense. Now, I have no chance on my side. If I don't participate, I will give up."

Lin Mo tapped the table with his fingers, thought for a while, and replied: "Don't let people approach the money shop recently, and even pay attention to it. Don't take any action you pay attention to, just forget it, there is no place.

This Japanese spy was intercepted by us for a large amount of money, but later he fell into trouble. Now that we know that we are coming, we will definitely pay special attention to it and be careful. There will definitely be more precautions and arrangements in the money shop.

I can't decide now at any time. I need to see if there is a suitable opportunity at that time, but you must not get close to you, spy on or investigate these actions during this period.

First, this kind of action will be very risky during this period. You are one of the few local helps in Shanghai. You cannot lose it. Second, it is false, real, misleading, interfering, and attracting the other party’s attention, so that we can have a chance."

Su Hongjie had no objection to this, so he nodded and agreed after hearing this, and even agreed with it quite approvingly.

"Senior, how much do you know about the silver speculation transactions on Lan Wei'ai?" Lin Mo took a sip of water, lit a cigarette, and continued to ask for other situations.

"Lan Wei'ai?" Su Hongjie was obviously stunned for a moment before replying: "You are talking about Lan Wei'ai Road! That is already in the French Concession and the South City. I am currently mainly engaged in the North City. The exact point is north of the Suzhou River. However, after a while, I have known the situation, but I don't know much about it."

Lin Mo frowned and asked, "Senior did not bring his power to the south of the Suzhou River, especially to the public concession parts south of the Suzhou River, and the French concession areas?"

Upon hearing this, Su Hongjie smiled helplessly again and said with a helpless smile: "I have arranged some activities in the past, but I have not yet gained a foothold. Intelligence and other work have just begun, and it has not been going well."

What Su Hongjie said about not gaining a foothold is that he did not buy a property to operate these things, without serious family business to protect him, and even his blessings for his identity, activities, and work were affected.

It is definitely not that Su Hongjie doesn’t want to buy a property there, but the main reason is that the land prices, housing prices, and rents are too high. Even if there are some remote locations that can be afforded, most of the gangs will be rampant, with high operating costs, and there will be many troubles when they are not at ease.

The main thing is that he has no money. It is not as busy as the north of the Suzhou River, but not as busy as the south of the river. It was burned up before, so Su Hongjie had the energy to buy a lot of industries here and let his people gain a preliminary foothold. Of course, the prosperous area here is mainly the Japanese sphere of influence, so he acted very cautiously.

"Lan Wei'ai's main business is to accept silver mortgage and lend yen for investment and speculate on silver traders, and use yen to conduct silver speculation transactions. After all, our currency is silver dollars. If we use silver dollars to buy silver, wouldn't we take off our pants and fart!

The business scale is also very large. There are more than 20 shops in all sizes, big and small, who only do mortgage loans, and even directly set up bank exchanges there. The exchange's bank transactions are all available in Shanghai now.

The content published in newspapers and magazines is mostly about storm and fabricated words, but is actually about suppressing and excluding things, because many others are also engaged in this business, including mortgage loans to Britain, France, the United States and other currencies, but it is not as popular as the Japanese.

However, the shops opened are indeed just puppets, and the behind-the-scenes are controlled by Japanese banks in Shanghai and Japanese consortiums, but why are they operating very hot? What are the tricks in the middle? I don’t know how to operate them, how big the scale, etc.

But one thing is that there are definitely powerful figures behind this to guide and even control it. You can see through the clever choice of the place. If you have any thoughts, you must be cautious and cautious about it."

Su Hongjie reminded him before continuing to explain: "Selecting the location outside the sphere of influence of Japan to a certain extent avoids the Chinese people's distrust of the Japanese and even dare not enter the Japanese territory for trading.

Lan Wei'ai Road is the boundary between the French Concession and the Chinese Concession. It is surrounded by the Japanese sphere of influence behind the Suzhou River. There is also a strait of the public concession and the French Concession. For most traders, it is basically exempted from the concerns of Japanese forces interfering randomly and making trouble.

The Japanese opened all the shops on the side of Lan Wei'ai Huajie, which belongs to the Chinese world in name, but from the road name, it can be seen that the government cannot be inserted at all, but in fact the French Concession controls it.

But with the Japanese's power in Shanghai, they can completely challenge the French Concession, only recognize the nominal ownership but not the actual control. In this way, for the Japanese, no one can control them at all. They are unregulated areas and can be used with confidence."

Lin Mo nodded after hearing this and asked Su Hongjie to help me find out some basic situations, but there were no other requirements, making Su Hongjie unable to figure out what he was thinking, but he chose to agree directly and did not have too much curiosity to inquire.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting contents below! "Senior, the time is almost over, so let's part first. I have prepared a lot of gifts for you. I will talk about it in detail when there is plenty of time later."

Su Hongjie nodded and said, "Be careful! I will arrange all the weapons and news, so I won't say much about the others, take care of myself!"

"... Take care..." Lin Mo also responded, Su Hongjie stood up and knocked on the door. After a while, he knocked back twice outside the door. Lin Mo immediately flashed out of the crack of the door that Su Hongjie opened, and then walked towards the stairs with a normal look on his face.

"Customer, are you back? I just waited for a while and didn't see you back, so I put the tea on the table for you." The waiter on the third floor, who had just come out of the private room with a small tray, hurriedly said when he saw Lin Mo coming back.

"…I went to the bathroom..." Lin Mo replied with his mouth, took two steps and turned around, and asked, "Have the guests I'm waiting for have not arrived yet? It's been more than a quarter of an hour, and it's not far away!"

"Then I'll go down and ask you to see if it's a mistake!" The waiter responded.

Lin Mo nodded, but turned around and said, "I'll go down and take a look too! Even if I delay a little, it should be almost there."

After saying that, Lin Mo followed the waiter downstairs and asked at the counter. He confirmed that no one had ever found him. He went out with a little anxious face. He looked around at the door and waited for a while before he was anxious to return to the store and wanted to call and ask.

"Old Li, I'm sorry! I've delayed something temporarily. I remember that I almost ran away from the wrong place, which made you wait for a long time."

Lin Mo had already picked up the microphone, but the sound came just now. A man in his thirties dressed in a silk jacket and was dressed in a businessman, walked quickly with an apology and explained while walking.

"If you come one step later, I will call you." Lin Mo said with some complaints, and then said, "It just so happens that I'll order everything together! Save the trouble in a while."

"...Okay, okay..." The man responded, and the man was not polite. He asked the shopkeeper a few words and then ordered a few words. Lin Mo also added a few words. He didn't care much about each other and looked at his relationship for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any herbal tea or ice drinks? It's too hot this day and it's almost hot." After ordering the dishes, the man asked directly while slapping himself in the wind with his hands.

"There are herbal teas, but it's too hot and there's not much effect. There's an ice drink room not far away, so people can get you ice drinks. However, the weather has been too hot recently, and the price of ice from the mechanism has soared. Now the store can only use ice storage."

"...Well... I used ice storage, it won't make people run away after drinking it, right?" The man hesitated and a little confused. He wanted to drink it but was afraid that something would go wrong.

"If there is no stomach discomfort, there will be no problem. How much ice can the ice factory make every day? In fact, there are too many cold drinks that use ice storage, but they just say that they use machine ice to make themselves. Moreover, the ice storage bought by the ice room is specially stored for food."

The man nodded and said, "Buy more soda from Ice Water Town. It is best to carry the bucket of ice water to keep soaking it. Just add ice to a little less!"

"…Okay..." The shopkeeper nodded directly, called the waiter of the hall to give him a direct order. After he had arranged the arrangement, Lin Mo on the side threw some copper coins as tips on his tray, so as not to reveal flaws if Zhu Sanbao didn't understand the situation.

That's right! A man in his thirties is Zhu Sanbao after changing clothes and putting on makeup. He was responsible for observing the situation nearby. After Lin Mo's joint negotiations, he came to the door to look around and then he would come to cooperate with the acting, not leave any strange impressions at the store, avoid possible investigations, etc.

"This ghost weather is getting hotter day by day, and I don't know how long it will take. Didn't the newspaper report every day that someone asked for rain? Why did you have been asking for so long and you haven't seen a drop."

Zhu Sanbao complained, and the store broke in and said, "Didn't the newspaper say that he has found many masters and Taoist priests, and he has agreed to come and ask for rain. Maybe he will be here in two days."
