Spy Wars: After identifying the identity, turn the senior spy against the

There was no Japanese concession in Shanghai. The Japanese had an area in the International Settlement, where the Japanese in Shanghai gathered.

The Japanese ronin walking on the street were drunk and reeked of alcohol, which could be smelled from a long distance away.

There were three or four geisha houses on one street. Lin Mu and Fu Yongchen were both wealthy, so considering the mission, they chose the most luxurious one and walked in.

The mama-san came over, looked them up and down, and asked, "Are you from Tokyo?"

Lin Mu smiled and said, "I'm from Tokyo."

Fu Yongchen raised his head with an arrogant look: "I am from Kyoto."

Lin Mu pretended to be helpless and shrugged: "We came to Shanghai for business. It's been a long time since we tasted the flavors of home. We handled a shipment a while ago, so it's a good opportunity to try it out."

Fu Yongchen acted very arrogantly, "Don't arrange garbage for me, give me the best experience, money is not a problem."

Tokyo residents make up the majority of Japan's senior executives. Although the number of senior executives in Kyoto is not as large as in Tokyo, their quality is very high.

Kyoto people pride themselves on their noble status and have always looked down on Tokyo people.

People from Tokyo have a higher status than those from other places.

Mama-san became more enthusiastic: "Lingzi, come and accompany the two guests."

There weren't many guests coming and going in the geisha house, and their words and actions were a strange fusion of humility and arrogance.

I specifically chose the store with the highest consumption. The salary at the consulate is not high, but the benefits are generous.

Ichiro Yamada controls the Japanese spy network in Ningbo, and if you are determined, you will gain something.

The consumption will not be low when you return to your "hometown".

It turns out that Ichiro Yamada has not been in Shanghai for long. He likes to visit geisha houses, and this one has the best environment!

Behind the mama-san followed a petite woman with outstanding appearance.

"I'm Huitian Reiko, please give me your guidance."

Lin Mu nodded slightly: "I am Matsui Ping."

Fu Yongchen said calmly: "I am Shanggang Qingyan."

Reiko Huitian poured wine for the two of them, and the mama-san tactfully left.

The two of them talked while eating.

"The British are the most suitable partners for the latest batch of medicines. If we want to make money, we still have to start with medicines and weapons."

"The French concession is safer, and there's no fear of being robbed by other criminals."

The two men's external identities were Japanese responsible for trade and smuggling.

There are many such people in Shanghai, and many Japanese who came to Shanghai to do business in the early days also chose to smuggle.

High profits, high returns, youth and wealth are their characteristics.

Of course, there are not only advantages but also disadvantages.

The downside is that you always have to be careful about possible confiscation.

The French Concession, the International Settlement, and the Chinese Area all had their own rules.

Medicines and weapons are what the underground party lacks most.

The underground party was very poor, and when doing business with them, you had to lower the price very low.

The prices offered by different people will vary when purchasing goods from them.

Huitian Lingzi smiled and said, "Would you consider doing business with the Excellency of the consulate?"

"Consulate?" Lin Mu curled his lips. "It's not that I look down on the consulate, but the price they offer is very low."

"You're so stingy." Fu Yongchen said disdainfully.

Huitian Reiko whispered, "The consulate is buying a large quantity of medicines, and the price is quite high, but... they require confidentiality."

Hearing this, Lin Mu raised his eyebrows and checked Huitian Lingzi's identity.

[Name: Reiko Keita, Consulate Field Officer, Geisha House Staff]

Lin Mu twitched his lips and felt speechless.

So he has multiple jobs?

Is the consulate so poor?

Do consulate field staff have to become geishas to earn a living?

"If the price is right, I also want to do business with the consulate." Lin Mu emphasized again, "The premise is that the price is right."

Huitian Reiko smiled slightly: "Of course it's appropriate."

Coming to the geisha house certainly doesn't mean the consulate has no money to support field staff.

Everyone who can come to a geisha house is wealthy, and purchasing medicines is a requirement, so you have to collect as many medicines as possible.

"Ms. Lingzi is from the consulate?"

Huitian Reiko admitted with a smile, "I'm a field officer in charge of collecting telecommunications at the consulate."

"If the consulate wants to buy medicine, it doesn't need to go through us. It can go directly to the British or French and get a lower price."

"What on earth was the consulate thinking when it bought medicine from us?"

Huitian Reiko smiled but said nothing, obviously not wanting to answer.

Lin Mu did not ask any further questions about this, and then the three of them talked about the price of the medicine.

"Settlement with gold bars." Lin Mu said in a deep voice.

"No, on Chinese territory, how about settling with French currency?"

The Sino-Japanese War broke out, drug prices rose, and the legal currency... depreciated rapidly!

The rate of depreciation is ridiculously fast.

There are factors of war, as well as the Japanese economic war!

A large amount of counterfeit currency is flooding the market, counterfeit currency is produced during the economic war, and the legal currency has depreciated severely.

"Trading requires following the rules," Lin Mu said calmly. "The legal tender was issued last year, but it was issued too recently. The international market remains pessimistic about its value."

“Fiat currencies are pegged to the British pound and the US dollar, and while they may seem highly valuable, they are not infinite.”

"The Shanghai market recognizes British pounds, US dollars and gold bars."

Hearing Lin Mu say this, Huitian Lingzi had no choice but to agree.

He wanted to trade with legal tender, but was rejected by all merchants, and he didn't dare to buy medicine from the British or French.

In order to avoid leaking information, there are only a few people who can be found.

"The drugs will be traded in a month, and I will try my best to get the largest share." Lin Mu said calmly.

"can."

Even if we agree on pharmaceutical cooperation, no deposit is required. Pharmaceuticals are expensive and only a few companies can afford them.

There is no backlog of medicines, and if you really want to sell them, no hospital in Shanghai will turn you away.

After the conversation, Huitian Lingzi led Lin Mu and Fu Yongchen out the door.

Before I went downstairs, I happened to meet Ichiro Yamada.

Seeing Huitian Reiko, Yamada Ichiro couldn't hide his excitement. He came up to her and whispered, "Ms. Reiko, I didn't expect to see you again. It's my honor. I thought..."

Before he could finish, Huitian Reiko said coldly, "Mr. Yamada, please don't say anything that might lead to misunderstanding."

Huitian Lingzi looked at Lin Mu and the others with a bright smile: "Mr. Matsui and Mr. Shanggang, please come in."

Yamada Ichiro frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Ms. Lingzi..."

The three of them ignored him and walked straight towards the door.

Lin Mu sighed: "Miss Lingzi is really popular."

Huitian Reiko said helplessly, "Mr. Matsui, you're joking. Mr. Yamada, whom I just met, is also a colleague at the consulate. He was transferred to Shanghai not long ago, so he hasn't seen me yet."

Lin Mu smiled politely: "Ms. Lingzi is very troubled."

Huitian Reiko smiled bitterly and shook her head, but did not deny it.

When the mission is over and my identity is restored, how can I face people?

Ichiro Yamada's situation is roughly clear. He was transferred from a small place to Shanghai, and after seeing the prosperity of the big city, he was unable to maintain his original intention.

Ichiro Yamada is a frequent visitor to the geisha house, going there every few days. Reiko Huitian does not have a good impression of him.

Lin Mu didn't say much and left the gathering place.
