Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth

Chapter 44: The 1st Japanese Army Division

"Haley is coming back." Chen Yang was surprised to hear the news.

"You," George shook his head and said, "Haley has called the International Hotel countless times these days, but she can't find you."

"I kept speaking up for you, saying that you were busy with the opening of the business."

"You're not in the hotel so late at night. Are you out having fun?"

Looking at his brother-in-law's feigned angry questioning, Chen Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I don't have the time."

Chen Yang didn't lie in this sentence.

These days, his superiors have been urging him to find out Lin Yaozong's whereabouts, and he hasn't returned to the hotel for several days.

Plus, the company just installed a telephone today...

Chen Yang gets angry when talking about this.

In the French Concession, it was much faster to install a home phone than a commercial phone.

For home telephones, you only need to register at the post office and they will come to install it within a few days.

However, commercial telephones are more complicated and took half a month to install, and it was only ready when the business was about to start.

It is said that the French are slow in doing things, and Chen Yang now has a deep understanding of this.

George looked around and said, "Not bad, it has the style of doing business."

"Come with me to a cocktail party tonight."

"Let me introduce you to some local businesses..."

Just as Chen Yang was about to agree, the phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hello, Chen's Trading Company..." Chen Yang picked up the phone and said politely.

The voice that came from the other side was that of Higashino Daiki.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that your business is about to open. Congratulations."

"Higashino-kun, last time I heard from Sakamoto-kun that you went back to your home country to report on your duties, how come you're back so soon?"

"Haha, Mr. Chen is really well-informed. By the way, do you have time tonight? I'll introduce someone to you..."

"Higashino-kun invited me, so I'm sure I have time. Where are we going? Will Nakazato-kun and the others come with us?"

"Well, the inspections in Hongkou District have been strict recently because of a murder case a few days ago. The military police are busy as dogs. Nakazato-kun and Sakamoto-kun don't have time."

"Let's go to the French Concession's nightlife in Shanghai..."

Night Shanghai Dance Hall...

Chen Yang was slightly stunned. This is a high-consumption place.

In the past, going to Sakura Dance Hall or Ishikawa Cuisine would only cost a few dozen dollars at most.

The nightlife in the French Concession is comparable to that of the Paramount in the International Settlement.

At least a few hundred dollars a night, but Chen Yang's intuition is that the other party can suggest going to such an expensive place, this business must be a big deal...

"Okay, okay, I'll be waiting for you in Shanghai tonight..."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yang shrugged at George and said, "Sorry, George, I may not be able to go tonight."

George smiled and said, "Business is important, and drinks are always available."

"By the way, I know you Chinese people are particular about the time of day and the horoscope. Have you decided on the opening time for your business?"

Chen Yang said: "I don't really believe this, but my men went to ask a gentleman, and eight o'clock the day after tomorrow morning is a good time."

"That's good," George said, "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Chen Yang was not polite and said, "I need you to lend me Mr. Jeff and Mr. Gordon for a few days."

"Help me train the new employees. These people are not that easy to get started."

"No problem," George agreed immediately...

Night Shanghai Dance Hall..

The boss behind this dance hall is said to be the famous big sister in Shanghai, Lin Guisheng.

Shanghai is a place of turmoil, with the old being replaced by the new.

A few decades ago, the name Lin Guisheng would have been enough to scare people.

But now, in everyone's mind, she is just an outdated old lady.

Having said that, the tiger's power still exists...

In this place called Night Shanghai, no one dares to cause trouble...

At eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Yang arrived at the Night Shanghai Ballroom and asked for a seat near the window.

After sitting down and waiting for less than half an hour, Higashino Daiki walked in with Matsui Eiji and a middle-aged man.

"Mr. Chen, long time no see..." Higashino Daiki was very polite.

"Mr. Dongye, long time no see..." Chen Yang also replied politely.

Higashino Oki pulled the middle-aged man next to him and introduced him, "Komuro-kun, this is the Chen Yang I told you about, Chen-san."

"I can assure you that Mr. Chen is definitely a very good partner..."

The middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand, saying, "Toshio Komuro, I'm from Osaka, Mr. Chen, nice to meet you, please take care of me..."

From Osaka? Hearing these words, Chen Yang's eyebrows slightly raised, and his mind unconsciously thought of a unit that was well-known to Chinese military fans in later generations.

The Osaka Division, the 4th Army Corps, known as the most useless army in the Japanese Army...

We all know that the Japanese invaders went through cruel, inhumane training and militarist brainwashing before going to the battlefield.

So the image they give to everyone is that of a cruel and brutal person who has committed numerous crimes.

But in such an inhumane army, a strange unit appeared.

They resold arms and put their lives first. Not only did they do business with the National Army and make huge profits from the war, but the Red Party also purchased supplies from them.

In their eyes, as long as they can afford it, there is nothing that cannot be sold...

Moreover, the reason why this division became famous in the Army Department was that all its members were notoriously afraid of death.

At that time, the farewell speeches of various Japanese military units had their own characteristics.

For example, when the Second Army Division was doing well, everyone would say "May the military fortune last forever" before leaving.

When things get bad, just say "See you at Kudanzaka".

Kudanzaka is where the Yasukuni Shrine's toilet is located. "See you at Kudanzaka" is equivalent to what we call "see you at the Martyrs' Cemetery".

However, when the officers and soldiers of the 4th Division said goodbye, they often said "Gomi-dai-kiri"...

Translated, it means "take care of your body", "health is the most important", or simply "save your life first"

Such a funny scene was seen by all the army officers who shook their heads...

If the man brought by Higashino Daiki is really an officer in the Osaka Division, Chen Yang can already foresee that he will make a fortune...

"Mr. Komuro, nice to meet you, please take care of me..." Chen Yang replied politely and waved to the waiter to serve the wine.

"Come on, let's have a drink for our guests who have come from afar." Chen Yang raised his glass and took the lead in drinking.

Everyone laughed and drank a glass each.

Then comes the familiar process of selecting beauties.

Ye Shanghai is one of the best and top-notch dance halls, and the girls working here are naturally very pretty.

In order to establish a relationship with Toshio Komuro, Chen Yang has invested a lot of money at this time.

Two people were called to each of them at once.

These little devils were immediately as happy as morning glories...

After three rounds of drinking, Komuro Toshio's face flushed. He pulled the girl next to him away, sat next to Chen Yang, and said, "Mr. Chen is really generous."

"I have a business I want to do with you. I wonder if you are interested..."
