Kingsman Agent in Film and Television

Chapter 118: Opponents having a good conversation
Zhang Anping had been racking his brains over funding issues before.

After all, once Shanghai falls, the income from Yanguan will definitely be gone. Without this major part of the funds, the special team will probably starve to death if it relies on the funds from above - Shanghai Station is an example.

But now, he is not worried anymore.

The benefits of the training brigade are long-term, and coupled with other benefits, it will definitely not be a big problem to support the outbreak of the Pacific War.

However, this profit must be "divided", otherwise Lao Zheng and Lao Xu will be jealous to death - maybe they will stab the special team a few times at a critical moment.

Zhang Anping could accept being stabbed in the back by Lao Xu, but if he was stabbed in the back several times by the sinister Zheng Laoliu, Zhang Anping would die of torture.

Therefore, another core leaders’ meeting of the Shanghai District started at the Shanghai Station.

There were only three people attending the meeting.

Lao Xu, Lao Zheng and Lao Zhang...

"Brother Anping, I really made a mistake this time. If Yaoxian and you hadn't backed me up at the critical moment, I would have been embarrassed this time!"

Xu Baichuan thanked the two of them sincerely - but whether this sincerity was true or false, the two people present knew it in their hearts like a mirror.

In the original time and space, during the War of Liberation, Xu Baichuan heard that Lao Zheng was plotted and exploded on the spot. That was because the two of them shared life and death during the War of Resistance.

But the two people now don't have the life-and-death friendship they had during the Anti-Japanese War. The friendship they had for several years has now been ruined due to the struggle for power.

If Zheng Yaoxian and Zhang Anping hadn't carried the sedan for him this time, Lao Xu wouldn't even have said the "sincere" words.

"Brothers, I won't say anything this time. I'll be the host tonight. We won't come back until we get drunk."

Zhang Anping gave a thumbs up:

"Brother Xu is very generous, so it's settled - I have something else to do, how about I leave first?"

Want to go?

Zheng Yaoxian grabbed Zhang Anping, who was standing up, and said with a half-smile: "Brother Anping, let's talk more."

Xu Baichuan also said: "Brother, don't leave in a hurry!"

Zhang Anping sat down and said, "Are you two Communists?"

Xu Baichuan smiled and said: "Brother Anping, don't talk nonsense!"

Zheng Yaoxian sneered: "If I can kill a rich man like you, it doesn't matter if I become a Communist Party member!"

Look, real Communist undercover agents always dare to admit their identities directly.

Zheng Yaoxian paused and said, "I really didn't expect that! I thought you were just selling sniper rifles, making hundreds of dollars per gun, but I didn't expect you were selling training!"

"More than half of the profit! If you eat alone like this, you will be punished by God!"

Zhang Anping was like a cat that exploded: "Don't talk nonsense! Where's the [-]/[-] profit? Bullets are free? Knowledge is free? Food is free?"

Half and half?

Xu Baichuan's mouth watered when he heard this.

His uncle's!

He begged his grandpa and sued his grandma for funds. He lost a lot of hair, but he still managed to "make ends meet".

Unexpectedly, the profit from the training camp organized by the two of them was more than half!
"Brother Anping, we have always been of the same mind in Shanghai. You specially formed a group of popular drinkers. You can't let me and Yaoxian watch. You are the one who took the lead in this matter. We have no objection to you taking the lead. But we are both brothers who eat from the same pot, so we can’t be allowed to drink water from the pot, right?”

Xu Baichuan directly showed his cards.

Zheng Yaoxian on the side was also sharpening his sword and staring at Zhang Anping with a threatening tone:
If you don't agree, then wait for the storm!
People die for wealth and birds die for food. If you dare to eat alone, try it!

Hearing this, Zhang Anping immediately said: "Brother Xu, what are you saying? Am I, Zhang Anping, a solitary eater? There were a thousand sniper rifles in total, and Zheng Yaoxian took half of them without saying a word! Did I say anything?" "

"As brothers, we must all eat meat together!"

Zheng Yaoxian was furious, this idiot wants to drag Xu Baichuan against me!

Seeing Xu Baichuan's expression change slightly, Zheng Yaoxian immediately said:

"Old Xu, do you think this guy is the one who gave me half for free? I don't know how much this gun cost. This guy sold it to me! A gun costs 380 US dollars!"

"I haven't seen the money yet, but I owed this guy a lot of debt first - you can relieve my stress and bear half of my burden."

Hearing this, Zhang Anping secretly gave a thumbs up.

Lao Zheng, you can do it. You can earn 80 US dollars with one gun on your backhand, and 250 guns are worth [-] US dollars. It’s a pity that you don’t go into business!
Xu Baichuan gasped when he heard this.

Damn it, a gun costs 380 US dollars, which is less than [-] US dollars in total. Training a sniper costs [-] US dollars - this is really cruel!
But what he admired more was Zheng Yaoxian's phrase "carry half of my burden."

It sounds like he's sharing half of the gun, but the underlying meaning is obvious: Let's join forces and get half of the profits!

Xu Baichuan immediately asked: "Brother Anping, I will bear half of Yaoxian's account, is that okay?"

The corners of Zhang Anping's mouth twitched, as if he was in pain.

"Both brothers are a bit cruel!"

Zheng Yao said nothing for now, I have already set aside extra profits for you - if you still don't know what to do, I will really join forces with Lao Xu!
Xu Baichuan said with all his heart: "Brother, it's not easy. Please be patient. My brothers now need to eat. As the district chief, I can't starve them!"

"I am the district chief" - the meaning is obvious. The two of you teamed up to deal with me, the district chief. I didn't fall out, but started a new one. Am I interesting enough?
If you continue to be verbose, don't blame me as the district chief for using other methods!

Zheng Yaoxian helped: "It's really not easy for Brother Xu. He has such a big mess under his hands."

"Okay! Let's split the profit in half - but as agreed, I'll add some to the cost of the gun, even if it's 400 US dollars. Is this OK?"

Zheng Yaoxian's mouth twitched.

Well, you are still thinking about the fact that the sniper rifle costs four hundred dollars!
But Xu Baichuan made the final decision: "Brother Anping is righteous!"

Of course he knew that Zhang Anping made money on the gun, but this was as it should be. After all, Zhang Anping got the thing himself, so it doesn't matter if he makes a little money...

After cordial, friendly, harmonious and united negotiations, the three finally decided on a plan to "share the spoils":
After deducting the operating costs, the profits were divided equally. Half was taken away by Zhang Anping, and the other half was shared equally between Lao Xu and Lao Zheng. Everyone was satisfied.

Only Zhang Anping still emphasized in his heart:
Even if you kill it, you can’t say anything about the base price of a sniper rifle, absolutely not.

If you ask, you are being tricked by a foreigner.

……

Pujiang Hotel.

Zhang Anping followed Huang Jianxia like a dutiful horseman.

Upon seeing this, Huang Jianxia smiled and said: "You have never respected me so much, but now you are pretending."

"On weekdays, it's just the two of us. No one knows whether I'm old or young. But that's not possible now. I have to hold up the scene for you."

Huang Jianxia was extremely satisfied, but he cursed with a smile: "You still know that you are not big or small in normal times, right? We are almost there, be smart later, my classmate is not easy to deal with!"

Zhang Anping asked curiously: "By the way, what is your old classmate's name? What does he do?"

"His name is Fujita Yoshimasa. He seems to be a senior executive of a Japanese company. This time he came back from the United States."

"Oh, he's a businessman." Zhang Anping said nonchalantly, but in his heart, he said, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh."

Fujita Yoshimasa! ! !

Two days ago, I saw Jiang Sian trying to hook up with this old guy. I didn't expect that when I turned around, I was about to meet this old guy!

Otherwise, will I become a traitor?

Zhang Anping's heart was filled with excitement.Following Huang Jianxia to a private room, the first thing that caught his eye after entering was Fujita Yoshimasa in casual clothes, and there were two accompanying guests beside him.

Yoko Minami, who is dressed in Japanese women's clothing, looks like a weak and weak young woman, and there is Jiang Sian with bruises on his face - no, he should be called Okamoto Heiji.

"Huang Sang, long time no see!"

"Fujita, it's been a long time! You, like me, have gray hair!"

The two protagonists exchanged pleasantries, and Zhang Anping stepped aside knowingly. After seeing Minami Yoko looking at him, Zhang Anping responded with a kind smile.

After exchanging pleasantries, the two of them sat down one after another. Minamida Yoko stood up gently, called the waiter, and signaled that the food could be served.

She was about to refill Huang Jianxia's tea. Zhang Anping hurriedly stood up and rushed to take it, saying that he could come. Yoko Minamida smiled "charmingly" when she saw this, and Zhang Anping responded with a slightly shy response, but he felt bad in his heart.

The two introduced each other to the guests they had brought with them, and the three of them greeted each other in a common manner at a wine table.

In Fujita Yoshimasa's introduction, Minamida Yoko and Okamoto Heiji were both his students. One worked in the consulate police department, and the other came to China for the first time.

In Huang Jianxia's words, Zhang Anping is naturally the most admired friend.

During the meal, the two of them naturally reminisced about the prosperous years of those years. The three companions occasionally chatted wittyly, making the topic more interesting. However, Okamoto Heiji's resistance and indifference to Zhang Anping could be seen in their conversations.

To Huang Jianxia, ​​it was completely Japanese "etiquette".

Fujita Yoshimasa did not blame Okamoto Heiji, because he understood what happened to the poor child Okamoto Heiji...

After having enough wine and food, Fujita Yoshimasa brought the topic to business after a while, and then used the conversation to reveal his true purpose:
"Heiji is my new student. He is a trader. He is new to Shanghai. I hope Huang Sang can take care of him."

Huang Jianxia asked in fluent Japanese: "What kind of business does Mr. Okamoto do?"

"It has not been decided yet." Okamoto Heiji (Jiang Sian) replied respectfully: "I want to do my best for Japan-China friendship, and I also ask Senior Huang for advice!"

Huang Jianxia hesitated and said: "I don't know much about business - Anping, Mr. Okamoto wants to do business, do you have any opinion?"

Zhang Anping asked directly in English:

"Mr. Okamoto is from the United States? Do you have any connections in the United States?"

"Have some connections."

"How much start-up capital does Mr. Okamoto have?"

Okamoto Heiji hesitated for a moment, glanced at Fujita Yoshimasa, and said: "Twenty thousand dollars."

He had [-] US dollars, but after he came to live in Hongkou, he saw that the Black Dragon Society in Hongkou was raising funds from expatriates to form a escort team, so he gritted his teeth and donated [-] US dollars.

It was this move that allowed Fujita Yoshimasa to see his "innocent heart" and he was accepted as his apprentice.

"Twenty thousand? Let me think about it - Mr. Okamoto can try the grain business. The city government has recently expressed the intention to purchase large quantities of grain. Mr. Okamoto can try to get a share of the pie from American businessmen."

"Others, such as industrial products, require a large amount of capital, and they also need sales. They are not as easy to change hands as food."

Zhang Anping made suggestions in fluent Japanese.

"Been taught a lesson."

Fujita Yoshimasa said with great interest: "Huang Sang, this little friend of yours is not simple."

"This kid studied in the United States for four years."

"Oh? Mr. Zhang really doesn't show his face - Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the United States?" Fujita Yoshimasa asked in fluent words.

Zhang Anping said with a longing look on his face: "The United States is really an amazing country."

Then he regretted: "It's a pity that it's not very friendly to the Chinese."

"This is the inherent contempt that white people have for us yellow people." Fujita Yoshimasa shook his head and sighed.

The meal lasted for more than three hours, and Huang Jianxia finally dozed off before saying goodbye.

After Zhang Anping and Huang Jianxia left, the private room fell into silence. After a long time, Fujita Yoshimasa said:

"Yoko, what do you think of Huang Jianxia?"

"Teacher, he seems polite and friendly to you, but in fact he is wary in his heart. This person is not a good partner. I think Wang Furui is more suitable."

Fujita Yoshimasa was noncommittal and asked Okamoto Heiji:
"Heiji, what do you think?"

“Every Chinese should be in charge!”

"Heiji, you have to put down the hatred in your heart - what do you think of Zhang Anping's suggestion?"

"I will not do food trade with China!" Okamoto Heiji said bitterly: "Let them starve to death!"

"Heiji, don't let hatred blind you! Since you want to continue doing business, put profit first - China is a good place, and you have to do your business well."

"is teacher."

"Yoko, do you know any Chinese who are good at business? You can introduce him to Heiji. He is your junior brother. You have to look after him."

"Heiji, since you want to develop in China, you must have a Chinese partner."

Hearing this, Nantian Yoko thought for a while and then said:
"Teacher, I have a Chinese man under me. He was once a member of the spy organization, but he was good at business. He was later dismissed and investigated for corruption. This person may be able to help Heiji."

"Oh, then introduce him to Heiji - Heiji, try to use the Chinese introduced by Yoko. Remember, when you use the Chinese, you can use it, but you must guard against it, use it and guard against it, you understand me What do you mean?"

"Students understand."

"Yoko, you have to remember this too. The Chinese can only be useful and defensive at the same time. They must not be trusted unconditionally."

None of them talked about Zhang Anping.

Obviously, Zhang Anping is far from falling into their eyes.

……

While Fujita was preaching, Huang Jianxia and Zhang Anping were walking leisurely on the streets of Shanghai at night in high spirits.

"Director, aren't you very sleepy?"

"Young people, a thousand glasses of wine is too little to meet a close friend, and half a sentence can be said without speculation. It is not easy for me to chat with Fujita for three hours."

Huang Jianxia bluntly stated that he had no feelings for this old classmate, and then asked with a smile:

"Is your kid very interested in America?"

"The director is laughing." Zhang Anping did not answer directly.

interested?
cut!
He is the master who has experienced the drastic changes in the Rabbit family in the past ten years, and has also experienced the stage of the Rabbit army changing from shotgun to cannon.

The prosperity of the United States cannot catch his eye - the air abroad is so sweet!

"Boy, in this country, you are just like your mother. No matter how bad you are, she is your mother!"

"Young man, be ambitious."

After Huang Jianxia said with a smile, he continued to take Zhang Anping for a walk.

No matter how stupid Zhang Anping was, he still realized that his immediate boss was not simple. Unfortunately, from that day on, although Lao Huang still treated him as before, Zhang Anping could clearly feel alienated.

It wasn't until Zhang Anping investigated Huang Jianxia's unknown resume that he realized that he had lost Huang's appreciation while serving as a guest.

There is no doubt that this was due to the pro-Japanese tendencies he displayed at this banquet.
