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

"Do we want to select all local intelligence agents?"

Bai Jiancheng was somewhat surprised by Matthews' choice.

He was unaware of the previous conflict between Matthews and Dunn.

Matthews does have his own ideas.

When he came to Hong Kong to investigate Chinese employees, he gained a basic understanding of the Chinese employees transferred from the United States.

Most of those Chinese civil servants are relatively loyal to Dunne.

Because Dunn applied for better treatment from them, Matthews didn't dare to use these people at all.

There have already been some unpleasantness with Dunn. What if he sets up a case for his people and secretly passes on some of his intelligence in Macau?

Then the Macau branch is transparent to Dunn.

This is something Matthews doesn't want to see.

When he came to investigate last time, he also roughly understood that the employees recruited from Hong Kong were not that loyal to Dunn.

Moreover, Dunn did not seem to care about these people, and basically left them all to the management of the man in front of him named Bai Jiancheng.

So this time he had no hesitation in choosing agents recruited from Hong Kong. These people were at least much more reliable to use than intelligence agents drawn from the mainland.

He will give better treatment and conditions to anyone who goes to Macau with him.

I am confident that it won’t take long before I can turn these people into my trusted subordinates.

Even if these people may still have problems, Matthews can use them to build a team in Macau and then abandon them.

“Okay! I wonder what kind of talent Mr. Matthews needs?

Most of the people recruited locally are newcomers, but some of them have good business capabilities. Let’s go to Macau to build a team. I suggest you choose some intelligence personnel with strong communication skills…”

Matthews listened carefully to Bai Jiancheng's advice. He had to finalize the personnel today and not give Dunn any chance to react.

You have to know that before today, he didn't know that he would need someone, so now there is no time to do anything.

Matthews didn't even consider the people recommended by Bai Jiancheng.

Because the Bai Jiancheng in front of him was also Dunn's man, and Matthews now instinctively distrusted Dunn's people.

After filtering out the people recommended by Bai Jiancheng, Matthews selected three people based on his last investigation in Hong Kong.

Bai Jiancheng quickly called the three people to Matthews, found a separate room for them, and let Matthews do the work for the three of them, while Bai Jiancheng left the room.

However, Bai Jiancheng, who had retreated, had a strange smile on his face.

Because one of the people Matthews picked was one of theirs.

Payne was a little worried after seeing Matthews reject all the people he recommended.

If Matthews can't choose their own people, then the Macau branch will not be able to infiltrate.

Now, he doesn't have to do any extra work.

On the other side, Payne had already arrived at Dunn's office.

"Why did you change your attitude towards him today?"

After entering and sitting on the sofa in Dunn's office, Payne asked directly and casually?

"Really? Hasn't my attitude towards him always been like this?"

Dunn asked in some surprise, was what he did so obvious?

"Before, you could still tolerate Matthews a little, but I see that your attitude today has been confronting him!"

Payne shared the results of his observations.

On the plane, although Dunn was not very polite in his words, he chose to be tolerant most of the time.

But after meeting Matthews today, Payne clearly felt that Dunn's attitude was becoming increasingly tough.

"I have no choice. After learning about this guy's past experiences, I know that it will not achieve any results if I kowtow to him! And I can't kowtow to him either, so I can only choose to stand firm?"

Dunn said with a shrug.

"He said why did that boy come to see you?"

In fact, Payne's question was a bit redundant. As a CIA agent, it was best not to ask about things that he shouldn't know.

However, thanks to his good relationship with Dunn, he asked directly because he was indeed curious.

"I need someone!"

Dunn had already made two cups of coffee, brought them to the coffee table, pushed one to Payne, and continued.

"I really don't know what this guy was thinking. He can't speak a word of Chinese and yet he chose to come to the Chinese area!

At least you could understand when you came, but he couldn't even understand, so he had to ask me for some Chinese employees!"

Dunn did not hide too much from Payne.

"Is that so? Aren't you going to do something to the people who gave him the keys? An Ta removes a nail?"

Pein asked with a smirk.

"Why do you have to do so much unnecessary work? He has more experience than you and me! If he finds out, I will be in big trouble. Just let him do whatever he wants. I don't care!"

Dunn did not tell the truth to Payne this time. Although he did not tamper with anyone's hands, Bai Jiancheng would definitely do so. But that was really none of his business.

"Go back and confirm the list of smuggled goods with the Solitary Island this time! Give it to Clay when the time comes, and I'll give you a portion of the money!"

Next, Deng Enyou and Payne explained some things that happened after he went to the isolated island, especially the establishment of the smuggling route, which is the most important thing.

Dunn has already planned to have it both ways.

However, compared with the mainland, there is really nothing worth seeing on the isolated island now.

The isolated island only produced some fruits, but Dunn was not going to touch the profits from them.

Because if you can't sell the fruit, it will just be wasted on you, and the shelf life of this thing is not long.

With today's shipping conditions, we cannot reach the level of later generations.

By the time the fruits their smuggling ships brought from the isolated islands arrived in America, there would probably only be a pile of rotten fruits left.

But even so, the isolated island route must be established, even if it is not profitable in the early stages.

Because when the aid from the United States arrives, the direct profits earned by the isolated island will definitely be much higher than those from the mainland.

And this day is not far away, it will only take a year at most.

"I know everything! Is there anything else you want to explain?"

Dunn explained a lot of things, and Payne wrote them down carefully.

"There's nothing else to say. This is our first time doing this kind of business, so we have to be smart. I'll go back to China to pick them up this time. I hope nothing unexpected will happen. You should also take care of Hong Kong when the time comes!"
