Spy War: I am the Living King of Hell

Chapter 234 Purchasing Information
Of course, Yang Xuewu would not inquire directly with James. His identity was only told to his eldest brother, and James did not know his true identity at all.

He came here to keep an eye on James. On the one hand, he wanted to see if James was dishonest and whether he was causing trouble in his elder brother's business. On the other hand, he thought that Mike would come to see James again.

Three days passed, and Yang Xuewu finally saw Mike again. He was here to deliver information to James.

As soon as Mike left, Yang Xuewu quickly followed him. Soon after, Yang Xuewu saw Mike walking into the Peace Hotel.

Speaking of the Peace Hotel, many people must be able to think of its many legends. The first legend is that it is said that no matter who you offend in Shanghai, as long as you hide in the Peace Hotel, it will keep you safe.

This second legend says that the wedding of the Chairman of the Generalissimo and Miss Song San was held at the Peace Hotel.

The third legend is that there are several extremely luxurious presidential suites on the top floor of the Peace Hotel. Heads of state, dignitaries, celebrities, etc. will definitely stay in the Peace Hotel whenever they come to Shanghai.

Although some legends may not be true, the Peace Hotel was indeed very famous at this time. It was known as the tallest building in the Far East and was a true luxury residence.

In fact, the Peace Hotel at this time was not only the first choice for political leaders from various countries to come to Shanghai, but also the first choice for spies from various countries to come to Shanghai. It was one of the largest intelligence distribution centers in Shanghai and even the Far East.

Seeing Mike walking into the Peace Hotel, Yang Xuewu changed his appearance and also walked into the Peace Hotel.

After entering the Peace Hotel, Yang Xuewu checked in directly. He had never thought of the Peace Hotel before, but now he suddenly felt that it was actually the most suitable place for him to live in the Peace Hotel. Not only could he have access to various information, but he could also live more comfortably.

The price of accommodation in the Peace Hotel is very high, but it is just a drop in the bucket for Yang Xuewu, who has a huge fortune. He plans to live in the Peace Hotel in the future. This place is really suitable for him.

After arriving in his room, Yang Xuewu found that the room not only had a comfortable big bed, but also a flush toilet and a large bathtub. This made Yang Xuewu very satisfied. He felt that he was really a country bumpkin before and didn't know how to spend money.

Of course, he only stayed in ordinary rooms. He would not stay in the nine presidential suites on the top floor. Firstly, the price was really not cost-effective, and secondly, it was too eye-catching.

Then Yang Xuewu took a comfortable bath and lay on the big bed to rest.

It was past 6 o'clock in the evening, and Yang Xuewu came to the restaurant on the first floor for dinner. The restaurant on the first floor of the Peace Hotel can not only serve Chinese food, but also Western food. As long as you have money to spend, the Peace Hotel can basically meet your needs.

While eating, Yang Xuewu saw Mike again in the restaurant. At this time, Mike was talking to an Englishman.

Yang Xuewu opened his ears and soon heard the conversation between the two. Moreover, Yang Xuewu heard that the two were actually talking about the next move of the Japanese army in China.

"William, is there any information about the Japanese recently?" Mike asked.

"Yes, my mole has obtained the latest strategic target of the Japanese army. What, you want to buy it?" William asked.

Hearing this, Mike shrugged and said, "No, what's the use of buying Japanese information? It's just that I think the Chinese would be interested in this information."

"Mike, I once had contact with an agent named Chen Ru from China. They don't spend a lot of money to buy information." William also shrugged.

"Okay, I'm overthinking it. Is there any new news from the Soviets recently?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yang Xuewu's heart was filled with excitement. He didn't expect that William was so powerful that he could get the latest strategic target of the Japanese army.

And he also knew Chen Ru, which was actually not too surprising. In the past, Chen Ru was the head of Huhai Station in China, and spies from other countries would definitely want to have contact with him.

Now that Chen Ru is gone, Yang Xuewu decides to contact William himself and get information about the Japanese from him. As long as he can get useful information, Yang Xuewu is willing to spend money.

Soon after, Yang Xuewu saw Mike leaving, leaving William alone enjoying the food. Yang Xuewu asked for a bottle of red wine at the front desk, took two goblets, and walked to William's dining table.

"Mr. William, do you mind having a drink with me?" Yang Xuewu raised the red wine in his hand and said to William.

"Of course, do you know me?" William made an inviting gesture and asked Yang Xuewu to sit down.

After Yang Xuewu sat down, he asked the waiter to open the red wine and poured a glass of red wine for each of them.

After the waiter left, Yang Xuewu said: "Yes, I learned about you from Mr. Chen Ru. He said that I can buy information about the Japanese from you."

William's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that the person in front of him was introduced by Chen Ru. There was no doubt that the person in front of him was from China. Now he happened to have Japanese military intelligence in his hands. If he could sell Japanese military intelligence to the Chinese, he would definitely do it. Can make a lot of money.

"It turns out that Chen introduced you here. Of course, I can buy information about the Japanese." William's tone was quite warm.

Intelligence is time-sensitive. If he cannot sell the information in time, the information will be useless. So when he heard that Yang Xuewu was interested in Japanese military intelligence, his tone immediately became enthusiastic. As a British agent, William was in China The country does not have much room for action, so making money has become his first priority.

"That's good, my name is Han Li, you can just call me Han." Yang Xuewu introduced himself.

"Hello, Han, just call me William." William also introduced himself quite formally.

Then Yang Xuewu took William to drink together. He knew that if he eagerly wanted to buy information from William now, William would definitely open his mouth, so he could not take the initiative to speak. He had to wait for William to speak first, and then he would be negotiating the price. Slightly take the initiative.

Seeing that Yang Xuewu was only drinking without mentioning the purchase of information, William was extremely anxious. He had information about the Japanese. At present, only the Chinese would be interested. If Yang Xuewu didn't buy it, it would be ruined. , so he must sell the information to Yang Xuewu.

The bottle of red wine was about to bottom out, and William finally couldn't bear it anymore. He took the initiative and asked: "Han, what kind of information about the Japanese do you want to buy?"

"William, you know, our country is in crisis now, and the Japanese have no humanity." Yang Xuewei looked like he was drunk, and did not answer William's words, but rambled on.

Hearing Yang Xuewu's words, William couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help complaining in his heart: "Who the hell cares about whether the Japanese are humane? What he cares about is whether the information in his hands can be sold."

As a veteran, William also knew what Yang Xuewu meant by doing this, so he said: "Han, I know you Chinese people like to be reserved when talking, but I think we should be straightforward. This is the first time you buy information from me. , I can give you a 50% discount, do you think that’s okay?”

After hearing William's words, Yang Xuewu cleared his throat and said: "William, thank you, we are friends, come on, shred it." Yang Xuewu picked up the wine glass and said.

After hearing this, William helplessly picked up his wine glass and clinked it with Yang Xuewu. For the sake of pounds, he could only endure Yang Xuewu's rambling. In fact, Yang Xuewu also wanted to buy information from William quickly, but haste makes waste. The British at this time were very arrogant. If Yang Xuewu happily paid for the information for the first time, William would definitely become a lion in the future. Open mouth, these people can eat people without spitting out their bones for money, so in the first purchase of information, Yang Xuewu must take the initiative, not only for the present, but also for the future.

When the bottle of red wine was completely finished, Yang Xuewu was ready to talk to William about purchasing information.

"William, do you have the latest information on the Japanese military's strategic targets against China?" Yang Xuewu asked.

After hearing this, William immediately became energetic. Yang Xuewu rambled on for so long and finally returned to the topic of purchasing information.

"Of course, I have the latest trends of Japan's Central China Front. Do you want to buy it?" William said impatiently.

Hearing that it was about the latest movement of the Japanese Central China Front Army, Yang Xuewu said with some doubts: "Isn't the Japanese Central China Front Army attacking Jiangcheng? How come there is the latest movement?"

Hearing this, William said confidently: "Han, according to the latest information I received, the Japanese Central China Front Army has given up its plan to continue attacking Wuhan and is preparing to attack north, with the purpose of opening up a communication channel with the North China Front Army."

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that William could get such information.

Yang Xuewu actually didn't know much about the context of the War of Resistance Against Japan. Most of the information he knew came from later TV series. He probably knew a little about the Marco Polo Bridge Incident and the Battle of Songhu. The next thing he knew about was the Battle of Star City and the Hundred Regiments Battle. Big event.

"William, is this information true?" Yang Xuewu asked seriously.

"Of course, my information is absolutely true. If you don't believe it, I can give you the information first and then pay for this transaction. What do you think?" William replied.

William has absolute confidence in his intelligence. This is the news returned by his highest-ranking mole in the Japanese army. It is absolutely true.

Hearing that Yang Xuewu refused, since William could guarantee it, there was no need for him to acknowledge William's love. As long as the information was true, he was willing to pay.

"William, I believe you. Let's talk about the price of the information. If the price is right, I will buy this information."

Hearing this, William was extremely happy. For him, every new customer he acquired meant a lot of money.

"Han, you know, I took a huge risk to get this information, so I will give you a reasonable price. What do you think of thirty thousand pounds?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu looked at William in shock. At this time, he felt that William's heart must be dark. This is 15 fucking pounds, not US dollars. At this time, the exchange rate of pounds to US dollars is roughly one to five, which is That is to say, William wanted to sell the information in his hands to Yang Xuewu for $.

"William, I treat you as a friend, but you treat me as a fat sheep. I think it's better that we don't know each other." After saying this, Yang Xuewu stood up and wanted to leave.

Seeing that Yang Xuewu was about to leave, William quickly stood up and grabbed Yang Xuewu. Finally, someone was interested in the Japanese intelligence. If Yang Xuewu left, who would he sell the information to.

"Han, don't be anxious. We can still discuss the price. Aren't you Chinese people very particular about asking for high prices and paying back the money on the ground?" William comforted Yang Xuewudao.

"William, we Chinese do say this, but your asking price is too outrageous. It has already exceeded my estimated price by far." Yang Xuewu pretended to be angry.

"Han, don't be angry. Sit down first. Let's talk after we sit down." Under William's constant comfort, Yang Xuewu also borrowed the donkey and returned to his seat.

When Yang Xuewu sat down, William asked: "Han, how much do you think you are willing to spend to buy information?"

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu thought about it and said, "William, I think 500 pounds is a reasonable price."

When he heard the price mentioned by Yang Xuewu, William's face darkened visibly, otherwise he would have to jump around if there were still people in the restaurant.

"Han, you have no sincerity at all. For 500 pounds, I would rather let this information go bad." William said angrily.

He felt that Yang Xuewu was too shameless. Even if he paid 500 pounds to buy such an important piece of information, Yang Xuewu could not speak out.

"Okay, let me add a little more, how about 600 pounds? This is the highest price I can give." Yang Xuewu said firmly.

In fact, Yang Xuewu also saw that William wanted to sell information to him, so he was not afraid of angering William at all. Since William said "ask for high prices, pay back on the ground", then Yang Xuewu let him feel what "pay back on the ground" means .

"Han, this is impossible. I won't sell this information if it's 2 pounds less." William replied.

Then the two started a price tug-of-war, arguing, back and forth, and finally negotiated the price to 8000 pounds.

Seeing that William bit him to death for 8000 pounds, Yang Xuewu also knew that this was a reasonable price.

So he said: "Okay, William, let me suffer a little loss this time. 8000 pounds is 8000 pounds. Didn't you say you would give me a 4000% discount for the first time? I will give you pounds later."

William immediately became anxious after hearing this. After finally negotiating the price, Yang Xuewu actually mentioned this.

"Han, I've already given you a 8000% discount on the pounds." William said hurriedly.

Hearing this, Yang Xuewu snorted coldly and said: "William, I originally thought that you British people should be honest, but you don't admit what you said. I think this deal should be forgotten." Yang Xuewu said angrily.

Then he stood up to leave again, but this time William resisted and did not stop him. In fact, both of them knew that whoever spoke first would lose 4000 pounds.

Yang Xuewu was actually not afraid that William would not sell him the information. If the deal failed, he would have to use other methods to obtain the information in William's hands.

However, Yang Xuewu didn't want to do this. Since William could obtain such important information, the advantages of trading with him outweighed the disadvantages. William may be able to obtain more important information in the future. If this transaction fails, then he and William may be together again in the future. There is no chance of cooperation.

Now it's a psychological game to see who can't help it first. After Yang Xuewu took seven or eight steps, William's voice came from behind.

"Han, come back." Hearing William's voice, Yang Xuewu couldn't help but smile. In the end, he won the game.
