Chapter 68 Purchase of Property
Li Yunsheng received the telegram from Nanjing, and he didn't care about not being rewarded. Anyway, his current position is good, he has real power and is still on his own, and his military rank will not be promoted for a while, so it doesn't matter if he is rewarded or not. The 20 funds don't really care much, because a windfall has just been issued. Compared with this, the funds issued by the headquarters are inconspicuous, but it is the matter of replenishing manpower, which gave Li Yunsheng some ideas. If it weren't for the laboratory this time In the armory, with the help of Murakami Liuzhu, the insider, he could only take the method of diverting the tiger away from the mountain to lure away the guards. In this way, more people were needed. It seemed that he should add some men.

So I sent a telegram back to Nanjing, saying that I was really short of manpower here, and hoped that the headquarters would add another 30 people. The headquarters responded quickly and told Li Yunsheng that they would send someone to him within a month.

Li Yunsheng was very satisfied when he saw the reply from the headquarters so quickly, and felt that he was treated fairly well by the seat. However, Li Yunsheng had other ideas about the arrangement of the 30 people. He didn't want to arrange people to Tianjin Station, but planned to Disperse the personnel and let them enter the French Lease and the Public Lease respectively. After all, in a few years, a full-scale war of resistance will break out. By then, the Pingjin area will be occupied by the Japanese. At that time, my own Tianjin Station may also be transferred to covert activities. Only the concession is relatively safe, which is very suitable as a stronghold to fight against the Japanese in secret.

Now that he had an idea, Li Yunsheng began to prepare. He also had some understanding of the lease situation, and he asked Meng Dong, who was in the guild, to find a suitable entertainment place, so that his subordinates would have a suitable place to enter the lease. A place to hide, so the next morning, I went to Meng Dong's house.

After seeing Meng Dong, Li Yunsheng asked directly: "Last time I asked you to find a suitable place as a base, but you found it."

Meng Dong hastily said, "I have found some properties for sale, but now the leased properties are very expensive, and my subordinates feel that it is not suitable." After Li Yunsheng ordered it last time, Meng Dong really searched for it with all his heart, but he didn't find it for a while. In the right place, Li Yunsheng was not contacted.

Li Yunsheng thought about it, and felt that it was okay to have a higher price. After all, with the outbreak of war, the price of real estate in the lease will become higher and higher, and it will even be difficult to find a house. I would be annoyed several times, and now it doesn’t matter if I spend more money, so I said: “As long as the price is not too outrageous, it’s fine, and it’s best to find a few more, whether it’s French lease or public lease.”

Seeing what Li Yunsheng said, Meng Dong said: "In the French Concession, there are now three suitable places, one is the Paramount Ballroom, and the other is a gambling shop near the ballroom and an office building. The property of the current French consul seems to be sold because the term of office is up and this person will return to China next year, but these three places are not small, so the asking price is very high, I am afraid it will cost 10,000+ US dollars.”

When Li Yunsheng heard it, he thought it was quite suitable. Paramount also knew that not only the place is big, but also the location is very good. Although the price seems high now, when the war breaks out, the rented property can be said to be very valuable. He opened his mouth and said: "It's okay if the price is more expensive, you should contact the seller as soon as possible, and tell me when you have contacted, and buy him."

Seeing that Li Yunsheng was so determined, Meng Dong nodded and said, "I'll take care of it in a while. If everything goes well, I'll be in touch in the morning."

Li Yunsheng thought about the matter sooner rather than later, so he said, "Then I'll come back at noon. If you get in touch, you can buy those properties today", and then left.

After leaving Meng Dong's house, Li Yunsheng suddenly realized that he still had a sum of money in his hand, which he got from the traitor Huang Bai. He didn't take this money because he was in Tianjin. Things are busy, so forget about it.

After thinking of this incident, Li Yunsheng went to the Japanese lease, and went directly to Zhengjin Bank. The lobby manager of Zhengjin Bank saw Li Yunsheng wearing a Chinese tunic suit, and asked in proficient Chinese: "Sir, what's the matter?" Very polite and no slights.

But when you think about it, most of the Chinese who can come to Zhengjin Bank are traitors. The attitude of the Japanese is understandable, but in order to reduce trouble, Li Yunsheng still said in Japanese: "I have a safe here, and now I need to take it out. things", and handed over the receipt after speaking.

The manager was not surprised when he heard the Japanese spoken by Li Yunsheng. After all, many Japanese would wear Chinese tunic suits for the convenience of going to the Kuomintang-controlled area. He took the receipt, read it carefully, and took Li Yunsheng to the underground vault. In front of the big safe, the manager said to Li Yunsheng: "Your Excellency, this is your safe, please do what you want," and then walked a little further, signaling that he would not look back, which is very professional.

Seeing this, Li Yunsheng opened the safe with the key and password, but the contents inside surprised Li Yunsheng very much. Even though he was prepared and knew that there would be many belongings here, Li Yunsheng was still shocked when he saw the contents inside. I saw several rows of gold bars in it, which looked like hundreds of them, and there were more than a dozen US dollars on them. These alone are not a lot, but in this safe, there are also some jewelry, a few calligraphy and paintings, and antiques. I don't know the value, but it might be worth a lot to make this traitor look good.

Seeing these items, Li Yunsheng lamented that his fortune is really good, and every action has a lot of income, so he put these items into the prepared leather bag, thought carefully, and left them in the safe. After buying some gold bars, about a hundred or so, he closed the safe again, and then left Zhengjin Bank.

The gold bars left behind were prepared by Li Yunsheng for Murakami Liuzhu. After all, compared with cash, gold bars are more popular, and it is also very convenient. After leaving Zhengjin Bank, Li Yunsheng put the things in the space, and then went to After leaving the French Concession, I wandered around in it, and took a look at Paramount, as well as the nearby gambling houses and office buildings.

At noon, after lunch, Li Yunsheng came to Meng Dong's home. At this time, Meng Dong also came back. When he saw Li Yunsheng, he said, "Station Master, the matter is settled. I have discussed with the seller. There are 15 yuan in total in the three places." Ten thousand U.S. dollars, and I can go through the formalities in the afternoon.”

Li Yunsheng quickly said: "In that case, let's go through the formalities now", and then went out with Meng Dong. After completing the formalities, he returned to Meng Dong's residence, and then Li Yunsheng said: "After the Bailemen Ballroom Leave it to you to take care of it, and I will arrange some people to help you in the future, they are all new faces, no one will know them, you must control the Changshui Gang as soon as possible."

Li Yunsheng's words did not surprise Meng Dong. After all, he had said these things before, and when he heard that someone would come to help him, he said, "Don't worry, the station master. With Paramount, I will be able to take over soon. Many people in the newspapers are dissatisfied with the Japanese, and the leader of the gang works for the Japanese, so that many brothers in the gang are dissatisfied with him, so now the time is almost the same, as long as I get through the police station It doesn’t matter, the station master is sending someone to help me, so I can do it.”

Li Yunsheng glanced at Meng Dong, and then said: "I remember that before you joined the gang, you once said that you didn't want to be in the gang for a long time. Since you are about to control the Changshui Gang, you can choose a suitable person and wait for a few Yue, let him replace you, so that you can retire."

Meng Dong hesitated for a moment, and then tentatively said: "Station Master, can I continue to stay in the gang, as a secret agent in the station, after all, I have been familiar with the situation on the underworld in Tianjin for the past few months."

Glancing at Meng Dong differently, Li Yunsheng said: "It seems that you have changed your mind again, why is that?", but he was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in his heart. Seeing Meng Dong's appearance, he seemed to have fallen in love with the gang life.

Meng Dong was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "My family has come to Tianjin, my uncle notified them, and the gang can take care of the family."

It turned out to be for the family, but this situation is normal. After all, being in the gang is much safer and more free than being in the secret service, so I nodded and agreed: "Since it is your choice, don't regret it in the future. I Agree, you will stay in the gang from now on, try not to contact people you know in the future, and I will also issue a gag order on your affairs."

Hearing Li Yunsheng's promise, Meng Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a little gratitude: "Thank you for your understanding, the station master, and my subordinates are very grateful."

Li Yunsheng straightened his face and said seriously: "But you must always remember that you are a party-state soldier. Even if you are in a gang, you must not forget your mission." Li Yunsheng agreed so happily because if Meng Dong returned to the secret service He is just an ordinary operative, dispensable, it is better to stay in the gang, the reason why Meng Dong is warned is that he is afraid that he will be fascinated by the colorful world, which will have unpredictable consequences.

Meng Dong hurriedly said solemnly: "Don't worry, the station master, I will not forget my identity."

Seeing Meng Dong's attitude, Li Yunsheng was quite satisfied, and said softly: "Tianjin has a lot of underground power, and all kinds of news are very well-informed. You have to make full use of it. After a few days, I will send a few people to Paramount is looking for you, and these people will be your subordinates. You will form a team alone. If there is anything to do in the future, I will go to Paramount to find you. Unless there is very important news, don’t take the initiative to contact me. Come to me, and don't let people find out." The reason for being so cautious is also for future consideration. If people know that Meng Dong is related to the Secret Service, then setting up this stronghold will not make much sense.

After deciding on Meng Dong's matter, Li Yunsheng said again: "Now I have a lot of medicines in my hand, all of which are good western medicines. You can find some suitable buyers to sell the medicines, but you can't attract other people's attention." The medicines on the market are very rare, especially western medicines for hemostasis, which are very rare, so Li Yunsheng is not worried that the medicines will not be sold, but only worried that people will covet them, which will cause trouble. After all, it is the army that needs a lot of medicines, so Li Yunsheng Let Meng Dong do this, if he sells medicines by himself, maybe the powerful people will miss it.

It is not surprising that Meng Dong heard that Li Yunsheng had a lot of medicines in his hands. After all, the Secret Service has a lot of connections, so he only asked about the type and quantity of medicines, and then told Li Yunsheng that he would find a buyer as soon as possible, and made an appointment with Li Yunsheng to meet again in two days. , give him an answer at that time.
