Quartermasters can also fight the devils

Kojima Kenzo had a very unpleasant meal. His beloved briefcase was gone, and that greedy Zhang Wenwu kept saying thank you for the gift like an idiot. He could not do anything and had to put on a forced smile while drinking with this greedy, idiotic waste. If he had not kept reminding himself in his heart that this was for the great cause of the Empire of Japan, he would have wanted to leave the table directly. This was such a bullying of an honest man.

After eating and drinking, Zhang Wenwu raised his glass to Kenzo Kojima: "Thank you again, Mr. Kojima. If you have any business matters in the future, please feel free to contact me." He knew that the Japanese must have other plans to win him over, but seeing that Kenzo Kojima didn't seem to be in good shape, he might as well bring it up himself. Anyway, it was normal to say such polite words in this kind of occasion, and the Japanese would not have any doubts.

When Kenzo Kojima heard what Zhang Wenwu said, he quickly said, "You're too polite, Commander Zhang. This is what I should do. Besides, I do have other business that I would like to cooperate with you on." Although he was not in a very calm mood at the moment, he was still a professionally trained elite agent and would not forget his mission.

"Oh? Mr. Kojima, you have business again so soon. That's great. How many passes do you need this time? I can deliver them over in the next two days." Zhang Wenwu pretended to be very surprised, and it looked like he couldn't wait to go back and get the passes to conduct the transaction.

Kojima Kenzo continued to despise Zhang Wenwu in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's like this, Chief Zhang, among the goods shipped this time, there is a part of opium that a businessman friend of mine from Shanghai asked me to deal with. He is very short of money recently, so he wants to deal with these opium at a low price. You have many connections in Zhenjiang, so I would like to ask you to deal with this batch of opium at a low price."

Zhang Wenwu's heart moved. It was indeed opium. It seemed that Wu Dali and the others' guess was correct. An excited expression flashed across his face, and then he pretended to be hesitant and said, "Mr. Kojima, opium is not easy to deal with."

Well, as long as you talk business with Zhang Wenwu, nothing is "easy" to do with him, all things can only be done with "additional money". Kojima Kenzo is a little used to it, and he leans closer and whispers: "As long as Chief Zhang can help, I can represent my friend and only charge 50% of the cost price for this batch of high-quality opium. How much money it can sell for will be regarded as a thank you gift to Chief Zhang."

When Zhang Wenwu heard that he would be sold the opium at only 50% of the cost price, which was almost a half-sale and half-giveaway, he even suspected that if he asked Kenzo Kojima for the opium without spending a penny, the other party would agree. This meant that he was being "bribed off" by the other party.

"How much goods are there?" Zhang Wenwu asked with great interest.

"Eight hundred kilograms of high-quality opium." Kojima Kenzo said to Zhang Wenwu with a smile. He didn't believe that Zhang Wenwu would not be tempted. Based on his understanding of Zhang Wenwu, this Chinese officer would do anything for money.

When Zhang Wenwu heard that there were 800 kilograms of high-quality opium, he was very happy and said, "Mr. Kojima, your batch is very large. I need to ask if anyone can eat it. It may take some time."

Zhang Wenwu did not agree immediately. He had just come up with a new idea, but it was not yet perfect. He needed some time to arrange it. After everything was arranged, he would contact Kenzo Kojima.

Kenzo Kojima said that it was no problem, but he also asked Zhang Wenwu to be quick. After all, with so much opium in the clinic, he was afraid something might go wrong.

As soon as Zhang Wenwu walked out of Zhenjiang Hotel, he heard Chen Mingzhang's voice behind him: "Brother Zhang, wait for me."

Chen Mingzhang and Hu San walked quickly to Zhang Wenwu's side. Chen Mingzhang said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, let's go to Hongyun Casino, right? Let's go together. We have to have a good time tonight. Congratulations to Brother Zhang for another big business."

He heard everything that Xiaodao Jianzan said just now. Eight hundred kilograms of high-quality opium, he must get some from Brother Zhang to sell, this is a good opportunity in front of him. As soon as he finished his meal, Zhang Wenwu left the hotel with a smug look on his face, and he quickly went to the front desk to settle the bill, and then he and Hu San chased him out, he couldn't miss this good opportunity to make a fortune.

"Mr. Chen, you are right. Let's go to the casino and have some fun together. Hahaha, I will find two girls to accompany you in the evening. I will pay for the Chunfeng Tower." Zhang Wenwu said happily to Chen Mingzhang.

Chen Mingzhang was so happy. Brother Zhang, who "never paid for meals", was very generous to him. He invited him to have fun in Chunfeng Tower again. Who could enjoy such treatment from Brother Zhang? So he quickly said politely: "Oh, Brother Zhang, you are too polite. You two brothers are really great."

At this time, Hu San also came up and echoed Chen Mingzhang in flattering Zhang Wenwu. Zhang Wenwu was flattered so much that he looked very happy.

When Chen Mingzhang saw Zhang Wenwu's expression, he felt that the time was almost right, so he asked tentatively: "Brother Zhang, why didn't you immediately agree to those high-quality opium that Kojima-taijun mentioned just now? What a great opportunity to make money, those goods are like free gifts." This was indeed what he thought. He felt that if it were him, he would agree on the spot, as it would be money given to him for free.

Zhang Wenwu smiled and whispered to Chen Mingzhang, "Mr. Chen, the price of that product is indeed very tempting, but the quantity is too large. Those who can afford it are very powerful. We don't know the specific origin and situation of that batch of goods yet, so it's better to be careful."

Chen Mingzhang felt that Zhang Wenwu was indeed more thoughtful. If there was a problem with the source of the goods, it would be troublesome. Thinking of this, he stopped talking about this issue and said the issue he was most concerned about: "Brother Zhang, if you get this batch of goods, don't forget me and Brother Hu San. Give us some goods and we can make some money." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Wenwu with expectation.

Zhang Wenwu was stunned, looked at Chen Mingzhang and asked, "Do you want to sell some opium?"

Chen Mingzhang looked at Zhang Wenwu eagerly and nodded vigorously. Hu San also chimed in, "Yes, Brother Zhang, we brothers will make a small fortune when the time comes."

"Okay, if there is no problem at that time, I will definitely give some goods to Mr. Chen and Brother Hu to sell, so that we brothers can make money and get rich together. But you must pay attention to safety." Zhang Wenwu patted Chen Mingzhang's shoulder seriously and answered affirmatively.

Seeing that Zhang Wenwu agreed to give him some goods to sell, Chen Mingzhang was so happy that his face flushed with excitement. He thanked Zhang Wenwu and said that he would treat him to dinner at Chunfeng Tower in the evening, asking Zhang Wenwu not to refuse. He was also very proud in his heart. Look, this is my good brother, Chen Mingzhang.

In the private room on the second floor of Hongyun Casino, Chen Mingzhang was playing with money excitedly. He was accompanied by two girls that Zhang Wenwu asked Hu San to arrange for him. He looked very high-spirited, and everyone thought he was a wealthy businessman doing some big business. The only drawback was that the chips in front of Chen Mingzhang disappeared a little too quickly.

At nine o'clock the next morning, when Chen Mingzhang was still sleeping with the girl in his arms in Chunfeng Tower, Zhang Wenwu and Hu San both went to Mr. Xue Si's private room and were discussing the matter of opium.

"Master Xue, how much does it cost to make 800 kilograms of top-quality opium? How much can it be sold for on the market?" Zhang Wenwu didn't know much about the opium market. Although he had sold opium once before, it was ordinary opium. The quality of the goods this time was better.

When Fourth Master Xue mentioned opium, his spirits perked up a lot, and he said loudly: "Deputy Director Zhang, 800 kilograms of the best opium, if there is no problem with the supply, generally the cost will not exceed 20,000 oceans, and it can be sold for more than 26,000 oceans on the market. Of course, this depends on the specific quality of the goods." Fourth Master Xue was quite rigorous when discussing opium.

Zhang Wenwu nodded. Kojima Kenzo said that he only needed 50% of the cost price, which was less than 10,000 yuan. He was really willing to invest. "There must be no problem with the source of goods. The Japanese will not use problematic sources to corrupt me. Besides, there is no problem. I dare say that the quality of this batch of goods is absolutely top-notch." Zhang Wenwu said coldly.

"Captain Zhang, are you really planning to give some of these goods to Chen Mingzhang to sell?" Hu San asked uncertainly. He felt that if he gave some of the goods to Chen Mingzhang, he would probably lose a lot of money.

Zhang Wenwu heard Hu San's question and said with a smile, "Why, Brother Hu, do you have anything to say?"

When Hu San saw Zhang Wenwu looking at him, he knew that Zhang Wenwu must have understood what he meant, so he smiled and said, "Chief Zhang, I just feel that such a good opportunity to make money should not be given to Chen Mingzhang. Besides, he doesn't know anything about this, and he probably won't make much money if we give it to him. It's better for Fourth Master Xue to take it all, so that Chief Zhang can make more money, haha."

Zhang Wenwu also knew what Hu San meant, but he did not refute him. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "The Japanese still want 50% of the cost, which is also 10,000 yuan."

When Mr. Xue Si heard this, he immediately said to Zhang Wenwu with a smile: "Deputy Director Zhang, you have to trust me. I will pay the cost of ten thousand dollars, and your share will definitely not be less." He really wanted to take over this batch of goods, so that he could make a lot of money.

"Haha, Fourth Master Xue, how can I not trust you? But, if we give this ten thousand dollars to the Japanese, wouldn't we be aiding the enemy? Then what's the difference between us and a traitor like Chen Mingzhang?" Zhang Wenwu handed Fourth Master Xue a cigarette and said with a smile.

Mr. Xue Si didn't understand at once, so he asked, "Deputy Director Zhang, so you mean you don't want to do business with this batch of goods, right?"

"Of course not. Why wouldn't you want such good stuff? We must make money that comes right to our doorstep." Zhang Wenwu directly expressed his inner thoughts. However, this put Xue Siye and Hu San in a difficult position. What did this mean?
