Spy Wars: Red Shopkeeper

Chapter 73 Union
"Sibao, is the money I asked you to prepare ready?" Gu Yansheng called Wu Sibao.

"How much money do you want to prepare?" Wu Sibao had no idea.

"It starts at 40,000 yuan, converted into US dollars."

"So much?" Wu Sibao exclaimed, "What kind of money-making method requires so much capital? Tell me so I can have a better idea."

"Prepare the money today, and I'll let you make money tomorrow. Don't ask if it's more than that, you'll know tomorrow. If you don't have money, you won't have to worry about knowing but not being able to enjoy it."

With a bang, Gu Yansheng hung up the phone.

There is no need to explain too much to people like Wu Sibao. He only needs one criterion to determine whether he trusts you or not: whether you can really help him make money. If you can, then whatever you say is right.

From the moment he paid the $2000 threshold fee, Wu Sibao couldn't escape.

At least that's the case for the first business.

Wu Sibao on the other end of the phone wanted to curse after being hung up, but then he thought it was unlucky to curse the God of Wealth.

"Forty thousand dollars, is it that easy?"

It's not that he doesn't have money, he's just being cautious. What if he loses money? Forty thousand is too much.

Wu Sibao thought about it and decided that he needed to get someone to work with him on this.

Turning the corner and walking into the finance department, he smiled and said, "Is my sister-in-law busy?"

Li Shiqun's wife, Ye Jiqing.

"Sibao, what's wrong?"

"That's it." Wu Sibao explained his plan to join forces with Gu Yansheng to make a fortune. "We each put in half and do it?"

Ye Jiqing thought for a moment and frowned: "Is it reliable? They didn't even tell you how to make money, and they just asked you to pay?"

"That must be reliable." Wu Sibao stretched his head with certainty.

If you doubt whether Gu Yansheng can make money, then you must speak well of Gu Yansheng in front of others.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, this Gu Yansheng is a capable person. Don't even mention his connections with the consulate. Just talking about the Judicial Department, he's actually the director. If he wants to make money, is there anything wrong with that approach?
You say again, this time he plans to raid the warehouse and asks me to take it with him. Originally, can he eat all the money by himself? How much money would it cost?
Why don’t you give me a share?

He speaks with his words, no hesitation, right?

Ye Jiqing looked at Wu Sibao with amusement, "He dragged you into the fight, but don't you think about who his opponent is now? Fu Xiaoan."

"So what?" Wu Sibao leaned back on his stool without hesitation and sneered, "This is the secret service headquarters, and we are only under the jurisdiction of the Military Police Headquarters. Even Fu Xiaoan has no control over us.

Now there is an opportunity to make money, it’s legitimate, shouldn’t I want it?

If he hoards goods and sells them at high prices, the Japanese will dislike him if they find out.

At most, I'll give him face and not raid his warehouse, but I can raid other people's warehouses. What's the big deal? Can he still bite me?"

"That's right." Ye Jiqing crossed his arms and thought for a moment. After a while, his eyes flashed, "Okay, I'll pay for it. Let's not split it in half. 20,000 is too little for me. I'll pay 40,000. You can decide how much you want to pay."

"Sister-in-law, you're so generous." Wu Sibao slammed the table and said, "I've always said that you're much more decisive than my brother when it comes to money. I'll also give him 40,000 yuan. It depends on whether he can afford it.

But sister-in-law, he said he wants it today and is in a hurry to make money tomorrow, so you have to withdraw the money for me now."

"Yes, but I don't have enough dollars. You can use the remaining Japanese yen to make up for it. It should be the same."

Ye Jiqing turned and went into the inner room, and directly took out 40,000 yuan worth of US dollars and Japanese yen from the safe of the Finance Department.

Damn, Wu Sibao, who spent real money to borrow a chicken to lay eggs, felt that he was still too young.

Smiling, he said, "Sister-in-law is smart. I'll send it to him later."

An hour later, in Gu Yansheng's office.

Wu Sibao was shaking his legs on the sofa. On the table was an open box of banknotes. The US dollars and Japanese yen worth 80,000 oceans were exposed to the air, highlighting two words: heroic.

Gu Yansheng was stunned. He originally asked for at least 40,000, because he estimated that with Wu Sibao's personality, he would just offer 40,000, and maybe not even a thousand more. Who knew that he would actually double the price.

Is this greed or trust?

"Sibao, after three days of absence, I have to look at you with new eyes." Gu Yansheng praised.

As a result, he didn't have enough contracts to sell.

Wu Sibao looked at Gu Yansheng's expression of amazement at him. It was a rare sight, and he felt quite happy, and his legs trembled even more frequently.

"How is it? Brother trusts you, right? That's real money, I'm trusting you. I just have one thing to say, how much you earn depends on fate, just don't let me lose too much."

"Don't worry about this. You won't even suffer a small loss."

Gu Yansheng paused, picked up the phone and called Wen Yan: "Come over here."

After hanging up the phone, he asked Wu Sibao, "Are the people I asked you to prepare ready?"

"It's ready now, ready to go at any time."

"Okay, we'll start the operation tomorrow. You'll command yourselves, and assign a few more men to me, maybe three or four. I have other needs."

"Okay." Knock, knock, knock, Wen Yan knocked on the door and came in.

"Director."

He glanced at Wu Sibao and nodded in greeting.

"Wen Yan, this is Wu Sibao. He's the captain now, right?" Gu Yansheng teased, "With the upgrade to the Special Agent Headquarters, your position shouldn't remain unchanged, right?"

"Hehe." Wu Sibao smiled. "Not bad. Although this captain is considered a director in terms of rank, he has someone above him. Unlike you, you are the only one who has the final say in the Judicial Department. You are much more comfortable with it."

Gu Yansheng smiled and continued to introduce: "You also know Captain Wu. Captain Wu obtained the addresses of several warehouses by interrogating the Military Control Commission. There will be action tomorrow. You don't have to come to the Judicial Department tomorrow. Take your men directly to the Special Agent Headquarters and learn from them carefully.

The operation is none of your business. Your main purpose is to bring back all the account books. Our Judicial Department is different from the Secret Service Headquarters. We are open to the public and we rely on evidence when we do things. We cannot leave any room for criticism."

Wen Yan stood at attention, "Understood!"

"Okay, it's okay."

Gu Yansheng continued to say to Wu Sibao, "Wait for my letter tomorrow."

Wu Sibao stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go first."

He patted the box and winked, "Waiting for your good news."

Gu Yansheng raised his head and smiled: "Don't worry."

The Bund, hotel.

Still the same private room, the same people.

Now is a critical juncture, and Fu Xiaoan must gather these people together again to confirm it.

"You guys came up with this idea. I don't approve of hoarding goods to begin with, but since you've already done it, why don't you stop playing dirty tricks on me? Do you think I don't know?"

"Mayor Fu, what's going on? What's your plan?"

The group of people were confused by the scolding, so Sassoon simply asked directly.

"Humph, someone bought nearly two hundred short positions today before the news came out. Two hundred!"

"what?"

"Is there such a thing?"

It was the first time for the people in the room to hear about this. They were immediately shocked and looked at each other. It was hard to say that they didn't suspect each other.

"Who is it? Have you found out? Any clues?"

"I don't know. Is there any point in paying attention to this kind of thing? Would someone do something as sneaky as this by themselves?

I won’t say any more nonsense. Now that things have come to this, there is no point in saying any more.”

Fu Xiaoan didn't want to dampen the morale of the troops, so he simply said, "Should we continue with this matter, or should we admit our mistakes? Come up with a conclusion. If we stop here, I have no objection if you pay the money to the city government."

After saying that, he sat down with a sullen face.

Sassoon immediately said, "Of course we have to continue. If we stop now, we will both lose money. The main thing is, can you confirm that this news is 100% fake?"

They raised the cotton yarn contract from 70 yuan to more than 170 yuan. No one knows how much money they spent in the process, but they haven't shipped the goods yet. Now the price has dropped to 111. Although the price is still higher than the starting price of 70 yuan, raising the price itself has costs, and they didn't make much profit on paper.

If they stop here, they will have to sell all the excess positions.

But once everyone in this room starts selling, who will be able to take on such a large order? It will definitely be a stampede.

To ship goods, the price will fluctuate sideways at a high level.

Now the retail investors are running away, and those who are manipulating the market are trapped.

"Are you still doubting this?" Fu Xiaoan squinted at him. "I've checked with the headquarters in Nanjing and Shanghai, and there's absolutely no such thing."

"Then keep pushing it up."

Keswick, a British man from the Municipal Council, slapped the armrest of the sofa and said, "If we sell out now, we will all lose money. Only by continuing to push forward can we make money. Besides, if we give up now, commodity prices will fall rapidly, and all our previous efforts will be wasted. We must also pay 20% of the Japanese cargo ships.

Mayor Fu just said that someone was shorting the market. I don’t think it was done by anyone in our room. There were only 200 short orders, and the profit was actually not that much.

Moreover, the catalog that the other party shorted was only cotton yarn, nothing else.

I think it is more likely that the short-term speculation funds outside are taking advantage of the situation and spreading false information to harm us.

I investigated this matter. The people from the police station said that apart from that document, the rest of the information in the bag did not contain any identifying information. He deliberately released it at that time to take advantage of the foolish emotions of retail investors.

Poor people like them, if they found a bag, they would quietly check if there was any money inside and then hide it. But this person was shouting in public for someone to claim it. This is completely abnormal and it is completely fake news."

Several people nodded, this statement made some sense.

Sassoon said, "Mayor Fu, let's not doubt each other. Since we've done this, let's do it to the end. Tomorrow, you clarify this matter. We'll use the good news to quickly push it up. Isn't there someone shorting it? We might as well just blow it up!"
