Code Name: Flame

Chapter 50 Warehouse
The Chimelong stopped slowly on the pier, and a group of dock workers rushed forward, and under the supervision of several Japanese, they transported the goods into the warehouse.After returning the ship, Yamada rushed to the warehouse without stopping and found the young master curled up in a corner and fell asleep.

Looking at the boxes piled up in the warehouse, Yamada was frightened for a while.The sleeping young master's face was a bit haggard, and his already fair face was now sickly white.

When Yamada brought the batch of boxes back from the island, he was always uneasy.

According to the young master's instructions, he and six of his men wore Chinese military uniforms to pick up the Chimelong from the Zhongwei Shipping Company. On the sea, they changed the logo of the Chimelong to the Longxin.After sailing overnight, they finally found the small island, where the young master and more than 100 Chinese were waiting.

It took a day to load the ship, and then sailed overnight before returning to Shanghai.Before entering Shanghai, they changed the brand name of the Chimelong, and the Loncin was put into a boiler and burned.

Then it was another day before the goods were put into the warehouse.The Chimelong sailed away immediately and returned it to Zhongwei Shipping Company.Chen Heng was also relieved, and refunded 4000 yuan, the rental fee calculated based on the actual use for three days.

Yamada's Chinese is very good, as long as he doesn't pay special attention, Chen Heng can't tell that he is Japanese at all.Chinese people are used to speaking their local dialect, and there are a lot of outlandish accents in Mandarin, so a little strange accent is not a problem at all.

After waiting for a while, Chen Jia woke up.

He was exhausted these past few days, and he was busy with everything alone, including such small things as buying wooden boards and engraving the Loncin number himself.He took all the details into consideration. For example, Yamada and the others changed into Chinese costumes before they arrived on the island, and they changed into Chinese military uniforms before they arrived in Shanghai. They and Li Changsheng and his group did not say a word from the beginning to the end. talk.

He didn't dare to relax his vigilance when he was not busy.Including when he was with Li Changsheng and the others, his mind was tense.Now in his own warehouse with Yamada, his mind is still tense.Two Colt pistols were always stuck in the back of the waist, ready to be drawn at any time to kill.

He doesn't care what happens to the Orleans in the end, and Li Changsheng and the others don't have to worry about it. What worries them now is Yamada.There is too much money, although it seems that Yamada has not discovered it so far, but if news of the robbery of the Orleans will be overwhelming in the newspapers tomorrow, Yamada will understand everything when he gets in touch.

The only hope is that the goods of Diners & Co. Ltd. are smuggled goods. They may not disclose the news of the robbery, and more will send people to investigate secretly.If things go this way, it will save him some time to deal with this batch of money.

This is a gamble, a bet that the Americans will not make a statement, a bet that Li Changsheng and his group will not be found by American agents, and a bet that the Chimelong's voyage will not be discovered.Bet the shipment won't be leaked by the dock workers.

In fact, the biggest risk is here, but Chen Jia has no choice but to avoid it.Seven hundred tons of goods, as long as you are interested in asking about the shape and quantity of the boxes, you can roughly find them here.

So time is very tight and must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Yamada's movements were actually under Chen Jia's observation, but he needed time to rest, so no matter how anxious Yamada was, he saw it and pretended to be asleep.In fact, he has been thinking about these questions.

Seeing Chen Jia wake up, Yamada immediately came over and said, "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm just too tired. Yamada, work hard tonight and take someone to look at the goods in the warehouse. These are all goods from the Chinese military, so don't be careless. I'm going out to do some errands now, and I'll be back when I'm done."

Yamada looked at the goods and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, master."

That night, Chen Jia came to the safe house. After putting on makeup and changing clothes, he knocked on the door of the neighbor's house.

The door opened, and a woman poked her head out. When she saw Chen Jia standing at the bottom of the steps, she was surprised, "Oh, so it's Mr., come in quickly, come in quickly."

Chen Jia walked into the room. This house was much larger than Chen Jia's safe house. It was also a two-story structure, but it had several more rooms.

The headlights in the living room were brightly lit, and a middle-aged man dressed in Western style was sitting in the living room, looking at him with astonished eyes.

The woman asked Chen Jia to sit down, and then introduced a letter to the man: "Mr. Yi is our neighbor, and Xiaohui is Yi who helped me to the hospital."

Chen Jia leaned slightly and smiled, "Li Guohua."

The man looked surprised, stood up and stretched out his hand and said, "Guo Shuyi, Mr. Li, thank you very much for your help. I have been wanting to call on Mr. Li for the past two days, but you have not come home."

Chen Jia held his hand, shook it lightly a few times, then let go and said with a smile, "I've been running around for the past few days, and I just have time to go home today."

The servant made a pot of tea and brought it up. Guo Shuyi pushed the tea in front of Chen Jia, "Mr. Li drinks tea."

Chen Jia bowed her body to express her gratitude, and said directly: "I heard that my sister said that you are in charge of Citibank, and I happened to have some business matters to ask for advice, so I took the liberty of visiting the door, it was rude."

"No matter what, they are all neighbors. If you have something to say, let's see if Guo can help."

Chen Jia saw that Guo Shuyi's speech was sincere, so he told the truth, "I have been doing business with the military, and I have been working in Nanjing these days. I heard from the officer that the smuggling of silver dollars is very rampant now. Tens of millions of silver dollars were confiscated."

Having said that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Guo Shuyi's shining eyes, and he felt relieved.

"Mr. Guo also knows that the national army is not having a good time now. Are these confiscated silver dollars handed over in full... Hehehehe."

Guo Shuyi immediately interjected: "Yes, what's the benefit of handing it over? Every penny goes into my own pocket. Now the price of goods is set at a daily rate. I have to think about it for myself."

"That's right, so I can also pay the balance. I didn't want to find Boss Du at first..."

Guo Shuyi interrupted him and said: "Boss Du looks so ugly, it's a good deal. Mr. Li said, I'm talking about it. It's the most cost-effective way to find a bank for various matters. Alas, Citibank now buys silver at the best price in Shanghai. Well, it’s a good deal.”

Chen Jia pretended to be surprised and asked, "What's the price now?"

"It's US$1.25 an ounce. The current price has dropped a little bit compared to last month. According to the market, it is estimated that it will fall even more. If Mr. Li has something in his hand, sell it as soon as possible so that the price will not fall in the future."

Chen Jia hesitated, and said in embarrassment: "I heard that the money will go up again, do you know the news?"

Guo Shuyi laughed loudly, "Of course we have to increase the amount. The Chinese government has introduced an export tax on silver dollars. Adding the tax is not worthwhile. This is why Gaxi Doning smuggled silver dollars. Ala Bank is the largest bank in the United States. If I have something in my hand, I can eat it. Yes, Mr. Li is a cheerful person. The highest price in the United States is 1.29 US dollars per ounce. I will give you 1.28, how can we? Let our bank make a little money."

Chen Jia kept moving his mouth, as if he was calculating the price.

Guo Shuyi pretended to ask casually: "How much can you get out of the army?"

Chen Jia replied as if suddenly enlightened: "Nanjing can produce about 300 million pieces, which is almost 200 million ounces."

Guo Shuyi was stunned on the spot, and then he was ecstatic.He originally thought that even if it was 1000 million yuan, it would be great for the military to steal 30 to 300 yuan, but he didn't expect it to be as high as 260 million yuan, which is about [-] million US dollars according to the silver price, which is too cruel.

"The military also confiscated 700 million in North China, and it is estimated that between 500 and [-] million can be obtained together."

Guo Shuyi was about to go crazy immediately, he didn't expect this unattractive neighbor in front of him to have such great energy.But he regained consciousness in an instant. Where is Shanghai Beach?A place where dragons and snakes mingle is a place where liars fly all over the sky. Is this Li Guohua a liar who dismantles the White Party?

300 million US dollars, this is a huge sum of money in the whole world, can this person get it?Dismantle the White Party, right?
All kinds of questions came one after another, and Guo Shuyi's mind became more and more calm. On the surface, he was still very enthusiastic, but his eyes became colder and colder.

"When I returned to Shanghai, I brought back 50 yuan. If the price can reach 1.29, we can trade tomorrow."

With a bang, Guo Shuyi fell completely.
