Spy game? Stop guessing, I really am an undercover agent!

Chapter 19 Let's see if you can handle it.

Lin Yongren said nervously, "Young Master, the prices of shops in this area are not low. As far as I know, a shop costs at least five thousand silver dollars."

"If you want to buy all six rooms, it will cost at least twenty or thirty thousand silver dollars."

"Young Master, what do you need so many shops for?"

Chen Yang patted Lin Yongren on the shoulder and said, "Of course we're going to do business."

"Have you ever heard Mr. Du's philosophy on life? There are three kinds of noodles that are hardest to swallow in life: personal feelings, social situations, and dignity."

"If you want to do big business, you need to have a presence."

"You're discussing deals worth hundreds of thousands of dollars with someone in such a small shop; people will definitely think you're a front man."

"So, we need to make a good impression. Ah Ren, go talk to the surrounding businesses and see if they're interested in making a move."

“I understand, young master.” Lin Yongren nodded and then asked curiously, “Young master, what kind of business are you planning to do? Could you give me a hint?”

Chen Yang smiled and said, "Ah Ren, what business do you think is the most profitable in Shanghai right now?"

"Most profitable? I'm not too sure about that, but if I think about it, it must be selling grain and sugar." Lin Yongren looked around and carefully approached Chen Yang, saying, "I've asked a few merchants, and selling sugar is quite profitable right now."

"The wholesale price of white sugar is nine cents a pound, and a ton of white sugar costs less than two hundred silver dollars, but it costs three cents a pound in the market, which is six hundred silver dollars a ton. What a huge profit!"

Chen Yang patted Lin Yongren on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Ah Ren, you do have some business acumen."

"You're right, supplies are the most profitable business in Shanghai."

"What we're doing is trading in supplies."

As he spoke, Chen Yang looked Lin Yongren up and down again: "Ren, go back and find a good tailor to make two well-fitting suits."

"You must remember, the most important thing in life is to be decent."

Shanghai, Military Police Headquarters.

"Knock, knock, knock," a knock sounded on the door. Suzuhara Shingo took off his glasses and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

Yusuke Ino pushed open the office door and strode inside. He bowed slightly to Shingo Suzuhara and said, "Minister, you wanted to see me?"

Shingo Suzuhara took a material allocation request form from the table and handed it to Yusuke Ino, saying, "This was sent by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce."

"Take the list to the warehouse to check the supplies, and once everything is ready, head to the Matsushima Osaka Chamber of Commerce warehouse."

"By the way, after the goods are put into storage, you should remind Chen Yang that he only has three days."

"These goods must be sold within three days."

"Otherwise, after the logistics department has completed all the procedures, if someone notices something is wrong and complains to the inspection department, we could very well get into trouble."

"But if the goods have already been sold, and it's just a matter of the accounts corroborating each other, I believe they won't be able to find any concrete evidence."

Yusuke Ino bowed and said, "Minister, I know what to do."

"You can go out now," Department Head Suzuhara said, putting on his glasses and preparing to continue reviewing documents, but Yusuke Ino in front of him seemed very hesitant.

"Anything else?"

Yusuke Ino hesitated and said, "Minister, I don't think there's a big problem with the supplies, but why did you suddenly add medicine?"

"Twenty boxes of medicine, worth only around 100,000 US dollars, but these medicines are much riskier than ordinary supplies."

"The Joint Special Higher Police has been paying close attention to the issue of drug sales on the market. If someone sees a batch of drugs appearing on the market for no apparent reason, they will probably easily associate it with the logistics department of the Military Police Headquarters."

"After all, not only the French, but also the British and Americans have been out of stock for the past few months."

Department Head Suzuhara smiled and asked, "Yusuke, why do you think I did this?"

Yusuke Ino shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand. Department Head Suzuhara put down his pen and said, "It's very simple. Didn't he tell you that we don't have what he does, and we don't have the guts, but he does?"

"I just want to see how bold he is and how many people he has."

"It's no use just looking at the water to see how deep it is; we need to throw a stone in and test the bottom."

After a long silence, Ino Yusuke suddenly said, "What if something unexpected happens along the way? We..."

Minister Suzuhara said slowly, "We can't rule out that possibility. To be on the safe side, let Ando keep an eye on him."

"If anything goes wrong during the drug transaction, have him take immediate action."

"You can never earn all the money in the world. What we want is a steady, long-term business, not a one-off deal."

“If he can handle it flawlessly, we can cooperate with him.”

Yusuke Ino bowed slightly and said, "Understood, I'll take care of it right away."

Shanghai, Chinese-controlled area, Osaka Chamber of Commerce warehouse.

A row of large trucks bearing the words "Logistics for the Military Police Headquarters" were parked in the center of the warehouse.

Soon, workers hired by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce surrounded the goods and began unloading them.

Yusuke Ino jumped out of the lead car, and Taro Tanaka quickly led his men to greet him.

"Director Tanaka, the supplies you requested have been delivered. Please check the numbers."

Tanaka Taro bowed and scraped, saying, "Ino-kun, you've worked hard. I've already notified Assistant Chen to come to the warehouse; he should be here soon."

Yusuke Ino waved his hand and said, "It's alright, we have plenty of time, take your time."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a tall figure strode quickly into the warehouse.

"Ino-kun, you guys are really efficient," Chen Yang said sincerely, looking at the row of vehicles transporting supplies.

If you sign the form in the morning, the goods can be delivered to the Osaka Chamber of Commerce warehouse in the afternoon. In other words, as soon as the transfer order is sent over, the goods are already being prepared in the warehouse.

The original procedures, such as signing confirmations and inventory checks, have been almost entirely eliminated.

It's definitely making money for myself; that's how efficient I am.

“We have to hurry,” Yusuke Ino said in a low voice. “Two hundred thousand US dollars worth of supplies translates to seven hundred thousand yen.”

"This is only one-third of the way through; we'll need two more trips this afternoon to finish transporting it all."

"With so many supplies, it would be easy for the inspection department to discover them if we weren't quick."

"So, Mr. Chen, you should now realize that you are in danger."

"To be honest with you, the process for these supplies is not yet complete. We ship the goods first, and then we go through the process."

"Three days. These goods must be cleared out within three days. That way, even if the supervisory department wants to investigate, they won't be able to find any evidence."

"They can only determine whether there is a problem by looking at various application forms and outbound documents."

"Of course, we still have ways to solve this problem, but if they catch up with the goods..."

"I have to warn you, the consequences are not something you can afford to bear. We're taking a big gamble with you now."

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "Ino-kun, if you want to eat crabs, you can't be afraid of getting pricked, right? Benefits and risks are relative."

"Don't you know the saying that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish?"
