The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

After the telegram was sent, a reply was received soon. In the reply, Lloyd asked Dunn to rush to South Korea within 10 days.

After all the effort, the trip was only delayed by 10 days, and Dunn was speechless.

To be honest, it would be better not to delay these 10 days. Death is death whether early or late. If it passes earlier, you can know exactly what to do.

According to Dunn's original estimate, it would be best if the matter could be delayed for a month or even several months, so that the matter could be reduced to a small matter and he would not have to go to South Korea in the end.

"Go call Mr. Lloyd back! I will take care of everything in Hong Kong within ten days and go to South Korea to meet him!"

Dunn finally gave up the idea of ​​bargaining. There was no point in getting involved in such a matter, and it would only make his impression in Lloyd's eyes worse.

Now that you have decided to hold on to this thigh, you must not give the other party the impression that you like to escape.

Seeing that the communicator was about to leave his office to send a message, Dunn stopped him again.

"Wait a minute, please ask the vice president to come over, I have something to ask him!"

The correspondent nodded and left Dunn's office. About 10 minutes later, Liu Liyuan walked into Dunn's office.

"Mr. Du, are you looking for me?"

Liu Liyuan looked very respectful as he stood in front of Dunn's desk.

Dunn asked after he invited Liu Liyuan to sit on the sofa in the office.

"Mr. Liu, how are the preparations for the newspaper's opening ceremony in a week going?"

"Oh! Everything has been prepared. We will invite some celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong to be our guests! Here is the list. Please have a look, Mr. Du!"

Liu Liyuan was also prepared. He took out a list from his pocket and handed it to Dunn with both hands.

After Dunn took it, he glanced through it roughly. There were a few names that were more familiar to later generations, but there were many more people that Dunn had never heard of.

This is not important. As long as he can get into their circle with Liu Liyuan's relationship, it will be fine. With Dunn's current identity as a US citizen, it is relatively easy for him to integrate into the local social circle. He may not be able to integrate into the core circle, but Dunn does not need to integrate too deeply.

Among the list, Dunn found a name that he had always been concerned about.

Hua Yingdong was the only businessman who died with the national flag on his head. His grandson later married an Olympic champion. However, judging from the time, his son is probably not very old now, let alone the grandson who married an Olympic champion.

Hua Yingdong's family is also quite prominent in Hong Kong. If they had not been labeled as red too early, it is very likely that the four major families in Hong Kong would not have been so powerful, and there might not even be as many as four so-called four major families.

The reason why Dunn asked Bai Jiancheng to recommend him for such an important position as vice president of the newspaper was to take advantage of the network of relationships behind him.

We were able to invite this old gentleman when the newspaper opened, but of course he is not considered old yet.

"Mr. Liu, is this Hua Yingdong the businessman in the maritime transportation industry?"

Liu Liyuan was also surprised when he saw Deng En mentioned Hua Yingdong alone.

Hua Yingdong is on their side, and Dunn's identity is needless to say, so Bai Jiancheng explained to him that the CIA agent in front of him sympathizes with the Redists.

But Liu Liyuan didn't believe it at first, especially Dunn. His identity as a CIA agent made Liu Liyuan have to be on guard.

At this time, Dunn pointed out Hua Yingdong who was secretly working for them, which made Liu Liyuan instinctively feel that the CIA had already investigated Hua Yingdong's true identity.

"Yes! Mr. Hua has a shipping business!"

Liu Liyuan nodded and admitted that he should remain calm at this time and see what Dunn wanted to do.

"Then Mr. Liu, you must have a very good relationship with Mr. Hua, otherwise you wouldn't be able to invite him."

"What about this?"

Before he could figure out Dunn's true intentions, Liuli Yuanye was a little confused about how to answer, but in the end he chose to hide it from Dunn for the time being.

"I have talked with Mr. Hua at several business banquets. We are just casual acquaintances. I sent him an invitation for the opening of our newspaper this time with a try-it attitude. I didn't expect him to agree to come right away!"

"Oh! Since Mr. Liu knows Mr. Hua, could you please pass on a message for me? I want to meet him, the sooner the better!"

Seeing Dunn's eager gaze, Liu Liyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally asked.

"Mr. Du, can I ask why you are meeting him?"

In order to avoid Dunn's misunderstanding, Liu Liyuan quickly added.

"I can deliver the message, but it depends on your purpose. If it's offensive, I'll ask someone else to deliver the message for you!"

The reason he said this was to confront Dunn directly. He didn't want to offend Hua Yingdong and just hoped that Dunn wouldn't think too much about it.

"It's just a normal business transaction. In other words, the business may not be a serious business, but I believe that both you and Mr. Hua would be willing to do this business!"

Seeing that Liu Liyuan was reluctant to bring things to light, Dunn stopped pretending and looked at Liu Liyuan with a smile on his face. His words directly told Liu Liyuan that he knew Hua Yingdong's identity and that Hua Yingdong and Liu Liyuan should have a good relationship.

After saying this, Liu Liyuan did not respond for a long time. He was silent for nearly three minutes before he asked.

"Mr. Du, may I know what kind of business you want to do? If it's suitable, then I can agree to it on behalf of Mr. Hua now!"

Since he couldn't pretend any longer, Liu Liyuan simply gave up. He just hoped that the CIA agent in front of him was really sympathetic to redism as Bai Jiancheng said.

"It's very simple! You can go back and discuss with Mr. Hua or the person behind you to see what you are missing. As long as it is not an item that is too strictly controlled, I will find a way to ship it to you from the United States. Of course, there are ways to ship items that are strictly controlled. We can discuss this later!"

Dunn still had a smile on his face, which was his purpose from the beginning.

The first pot of gold from the smuggling route came from business with Hua Yingdong and the people behind him.

"Mr. Du, of course we are willing to do this business, but what I want to say is that we may not be able to offer you too much compensation!"

Liu Liyuan said somewhat embarrassedly that he was quite clear about his family's situation and that everyone, including Hua Yingdong, had always sincerely wanted to help the motherland.

But the problem is that China is now in a state of total blockade and cannot afford much foreign exchange to purchase supplies, so the little foreign exchange that is available must be carefully calculated.

"I don't need money!"

"for free?"

After Dunn said this, Liu Liyuan's expression did not change at all.

In his opinion, this is simply impossible. Even if Dunn really sympathizes with or approves of redism, he cannot be so selfless. It's not that it is impossible, but this kind of selflessness is not without price. Business requires both income and output. If there is only income but no output, even if Dunn is a CIA agent, he will not be able to support it for too long.

"Mr. Du, let's be frank. Since this is business, there must be give and take. What do you need us to provide for you?"
