Chapter 914 Broker Black Market
"Is there no source of goods here in Shanghai? No matter whether it is north or south, from which side, you have to cross half of China to deliver it all the way. The road is not peaceful, and you may encounter various troubles..." The middle-aged and young man was a little unwilling and asked.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man explained: "Shanghai does have it, but the supply is small. One is that the silver speculation here is crazy, which is the highest price of silver and the increase is also extremely high. This has led to most people not willing to spend silver dollars to buy things, and even the price of short goods will inevitably be lowered.
These short-term goods are basically trafficked from Europe and the United States. They take less than ten or half a month along the way, or even one or two months later, or even longer to deliver. However, no matter from here, three or five days are enough. They would rather spend more days than sell them at a low price in Shanghai to save these days.
Another reason is that this place is still too close to Nanjing. The government has been closely watching the inexpensive materials we urgently need. After the organization focused on purchasing in Shanghai, the procurement volume increased a little, and they have noticed it.
Although those foreign smugglers are not afraid of them, they do not want to cause a lot of trouble to their business, not to mention that they are still in the absence of profits, and there seem to be some other unknown reasons that affect the supply in Shanghai, so we need even less urgently.
In Pingjin, the response to changes in silver prices was slightly slow. In addition, there were a large number of remnants of Beiyang warlords there, so there was also a great demand for these tight goods, which led to a large number of goods there.
In the south, the Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi and even the Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Jiangxi regions radiating to Guangdong are all territories occupied by various local forces, and the demand for these scarce materials is not low. However, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi are located in the sea, and Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan and Jiangxi are difficult to travel, so the supply of goods is relatively small."
After listening to his story, the middle-aged and young man nodded helplessly and said, "I'll go back and react with my superiors and let the organization communicate with the two places to arrange the purchase! Let's slow down first, and I guess we can only adopt a long-lasting method in the future. These guys have too good noses."
The middle-aged man nodded without saying much. He was only responsible for providing relevant information, so he should not mix with the others. The principles of organizational work and the severe situation he faced in his actual work are not allowed to intervene in other people's work, otherwise it may bring unpredictable consequences, so he changed the topic directly.
“Can the organization provide me with more information support that I need in my business?”
When a middle-aged man asked about increasing support, the business he ran was naturally inevitably helped by the organization, but he needed more now.
"What's the reason? Haven't you been reducing the extra support of the organization before? Worrying that you're being exposed, why is it suddenly asking for more requests?"
The middle-aged and young people were a little surprised. The other party was almost completely exempted from the help and support provided by the organization. Why is it suddenly asking for more demands? There must be a situation!
The middle-aged man didn't hide it, so he was polite, explaining: "Two reasons, one is the change in the situation here. Not only Pi Dapeng, but also the gang forces around Pi Dapeng's territory are also constantly changing. There is also a shadow of Japanese behind the incident, and I don't know what the other party is planning.
It would be fine if it were just these, but the current Japanese defense and investigation actions point to one thing, which made Japanese spies suffer a lot of losses. It is estimated that because its power in Shanghai has suffered a serious blow from the Japanese spy organization, people have been arranged to come to Shanghai.
I was worried that the abnormality here would be paid attention to by the other party. At that time, both sides would likely fight around here. I needed more business to show that I had enough strength, so that after I escaped from this mud pit, I could temporarily scare others and avoid some trouble."
Originally, it was planned to only keep the power and business scale to the upper middle level, which was neither too conspicuous, nor had a certain force to obtain the required intelligence information, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. This goal was basically achieved, and there was no need for additional support. As a result, now...
The middle-aged man was originally going to continue to speak and explain, but the middle-aged and young man raised his hand to stop him, but he did not immediately explain and explained, but frowned and thought about something.
"...Your guess may have become reality..." The young and middle-aged man frowned, thought carefully, and spoke, and then continued to think about it and tell the matter intermittently.
"On the way here, I was so crowded by the crowd that I couldn't stand it anymore, so I found a stall to eat something and sat for a while. One table next door was the person who talked about the situation I mentioned at the beginning, but there was another table next door, and my behavior made me feel uncomfortable afterwards.
Four men in their early thirties sat at the table. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to have come out to gain knowledge. However, they seemed to have little interest or curiosity about the things that Pi Dapeng talked about. They kept chatting in a low voice. I noticed and eavesdropped on them, and they were talking about gossips like family matters.
But this is strange. Since you like to talk about some family matters, it means you like to join in the fun and listen to the Bagu. Pi Dapeng’s men talked a lot and it is impossible to hear it. Why didn’t you join in the fun?
Although I felt something was wrong at that time, I just subconsciously thought it was related to the identity of several people. However, when you said this just now, I recalled carefully that even if these people were concerned about the identity of gang members, they should have been pricking up their ears to eavesdrop, or asking other neighbors for a while. Everything is the most abnormal thing like this.
And after thinking about it carefully, the reason why it felt abnormal in the aftermath was probably because I felt my own shadow and the familiar smell from them, so I suspect that they are the ones the Japanese are looking for, and there is a high probability that they will notice this place as you guessed."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! The middle-aged man's eyelids were pounding. He was a news dealer and worked in a hidden front for many years. He also received some professional training. After hearing this description and explanation from his companions, he could basically be sure of his own.
"Do you still remember what characteristics they have?" The middle-aged man felt it was necessary to confirm it, so he asked.
The middle-aged and young man frowned and replied with a wry smile: "After you ask, I can basically confirm that my only impression is four people, who are ordinary and dressed a little bit rustic, and they feel a little wrong. Other appearance characteristics, clothing characteristics, etc. have no special impression.
The stall was in the middle of the door and did not specifically bring lighting fixtures. It just borrowed the street lights and the light of the surrounding buildings. The table he chose happened to be in a dim position. Even if someone noticed them, it would be difficult to observe too much information.
The more I talked about it, the more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was that group of people. Just this performance was a well-deserved elite. If it weren’t for chance, I might have sat on the same table, and I wouldn’t have found any problems. For the time being, all I could provide is this information. Is it enough?"
The middle-aged man replied, "I just wanted to find out and confirm, not what I wanted to do, and it was too late to avoid it! These people mean trouble and trouble. I dare not be too curious to avoid causing trouble. So it's okay to have as many as you can. Although I can't fully confirm the other party's identity, I guess it's almost impossible to get along with it."
After saying that, after the two exchanged some opinions on the matter, the middle-aged man changed the topic and continued to talk about another reason why he asked for support from the organization.
"…I recently came into contact with a situation where there is a secret circle... Well, you can understand it as a trading market, party party, black market, etc., but the participants are very special.
They are either those political brokers with wide connections and deep backgrounds, or all kinds of big news dealers with extremely well-informed news, and it is even said that there are intelligence dealers who sell intelligence and inquire about various intelligence information for others. Various information and intelligence cover the entire country and even the entire Far East.
These people gathered together and were doing something very obvious. I felt that if I could get in, it would be able to bring a lot of help to the organization's intelligence work, but the threshold for entering was very high, and I should still be far from meeting the standards at the moment.
But I believe that judging from my performance after entering this line, I should have the potential to enter in their eyes, otherwise these news should not be heard in my ears. I don’t believe in any coincidences. This news must have been intentional when it comes to my ears.
So I have the opportunity to enter, but it should be very important for the next period of time. My performance, development potential, etc. should determine whether I can enter and my status and treatment after entering, so I need the organization to provide me with some help."
After hearing this, the middle-aged and young man frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Is this a test of you? You have said before that there are many other forces hidden in Pi Dapeng. Could anyone or some force suspected you and use this news to test it?"
"…Well..." the middle-aged man shook his head and replied: "It is unlikely that I can't test anything like this. Even if I am a normal person selling news, I will definitely want to squeeze into that circle when I hear this news, so it should not be a test. The things mentioned in the news are also very true.
However, your worries are not unreasonable. Before accepting me, the other party will definitely investigate my background. We must be careful that the other party finds our true identity and background. Otherwise, even if you join in, you can get information and information, it is likely that some people want us to see and get, which will make us very passive.
Therefore, the number of times we contact each other in the future may need to reduce the pressure and communicate information. If there is a large risk, it may expose the relationship between each other. If we are not very interested, we need to use it carefully or make some necessary arrangements to hide it."
After hearing this, the middle-aged and young man was still a little worried and said, "According to your description, the situation there is an enlarged version of Pi Dapeng. Even Pi Dapeng has been targeted by all forces, and there will be no exception. Even behind the scenes, the forces such as Europe, America and Japan may be under control.
There is another question, I wonder if you have considered it? We estimate and think it is true, but if you can access relevant information based on your situation, then the organization will not be able to have any contact with these situations.
When you are doing things where you are obviously exposed to those situations, it is unlikely that the organization will not inform us of the relevant situation, which means that these situations should not be mastered by the organization, and your situation should not be exposed to them.
