Chapter 467 Want to be promoted?

At the Shanghai pier, Lin Shi disembarked with the people from the National Defense Department.

Listening to the car picking them up outside the pier, everyone got on the car and left quickly.

Sitting in the car, Lin Shi stared out of the window silently. Shanghai, the most populous and prosperous city, has suffered various hardships in modern times. China could only be half the master of this city before, but now it is completely reduced to the powers. hands.

The ridiculous thing is that the existence of the concession actually protected their safety, so that the Japanese did not dare to attack them at will.

This is not actually protection, but sorrow.

After checking into the hotel, Lin Shi went out quickly, and he was not the only one who went out.

There is no business to do today, many people go out to see the bustling Shanghai Bund.

The ten-mile foreign market on the Bund, the multi-national buildings of various shapes, and a dazzling array of commodities from all over the world, behind the bustle and bustle, are the blood-red tears of the Chinese people.

Here, the Chinese are the objects of enslavement, and some places even clearly state that the Chinese are not allowed to enter.

My own country is in the lowest position, which is a true portrayal of falling behind and being beaten.

After finding Heqing Lane, Lin Shi posted a missing person notice.

According to Secretary Liang's instructions, after posting the signal, he had to wait in a place where he could see it from a distance. If he saw someone draw a horizontal line on his missing person notice with a pen, he would leave with that person.

If not, come back on the second and third day.

If he is not there, the person who draws the horizontal line will watch and wait for him from a distance. If he fails to connect for three consecutive days, he will give up.

There is an open-air teahouse at the corner of this street, where many people play cards and chess.

Lin Shi sat here, ordered some melon seeds, watched others play chess while eating, and at the same time paid attention to the situation at the entrance of the alley.

After more than an hour, he noticed that someone came to the advertisement column, took out a pen, and drew on it.

Lin Shi immediately got up and walked over.

"Little King."

Seeing the person coming, Lin Shi's eyes widened instantly, and the person who came to meet him turned out to be Mr. Ke's secretary, whom he had met before.

"Come with me."

Seeing Lin Shi, Xiao Wang said in a low voice, the two were in front of each other and did not walk together.

Xiao Wang's anti-tracking skills are very strong. He took Lin Shi to a safe place. After making sure that no one was following him, he led him into a shopping mall with many people, and then left through the back door. There was a car there.

Driving, the two quickly came to Ke Gong's residence.

"Master."

He was very happy to see Ke Gonglinshi. Although he did not study for a long time last time, he gained a lot. After this period of precipitation, he has grown a lot.

The more he grows, the more he understands that there is a big gap between himself and the really powerful agents. On the contrary, when he didn't understand anything at the beginning, he felt that he was very powerful.

At that time, I always felt that I did a good job. Looking back now, it is really ridiculous.

"Not bad, it's strong again."

I was also very happy to see Mr. Lin Shi Ke. The last special training period was very short, but Lin Shi's talent was extremely high. It's a pity that he couldn't be brought with him to teach him all the time.

Given enough time, he believed that Lin Shi could also grow into an excellent agent.

"Ke Gong, can I continue to study with you this time?"

He didn't have enough time to study last time. After Mr. Ke left, he found an opportunity to finish learning radio. He was in the National Defense Agency, and it was not difficult to find opportunities to learn radio.

Although he doesn't have a radio station, it's not a bad thing to learn first.

Ye Duo is not overwhelmed, but he has a special identity.

"In addition to studying, you have a task."

Ke Gong said with a smile, Lin Shi's task is to set up a firm by himself, Lin Shi has done business with Chu Lingyun and made a lot of money, so he is fully qualified for this.

This firm will be established in Wuhan, not Shanghai, but there will be a branch in Shanghai.

Lin Shi's firm will become a stronghold of the Red Party, and it is a very important stronghold.

Ke Gong, the person in charge in Wuhan, has already selected Lin Shi, and it is Xiao Su. Xiao Su is now in hibernation, and the two have cooperated before.

After Lin Shi returns to Wuhan, the two will find a chance to meet again, and Lin Shi hires Xiao Su as his manager.

Lin Shi's stronghold is not responsible for intelligence, but only for funds and security.

They don't need to collect any intelligence, but when important figures from our party go to Shanghai or Wuhan, they need to make arrangements. They have a business background and can be more fully prepared.

We can't bother the local organizations every time something happens. The funds of each local organization are limited, and if there are too many troubles, it will bring great pressure to them.

For example, this time, the arrival of Mr. Ke cost Shanghai a lot of money. Fortunately, they had the funding from Comrade Cyclonus No. 1, otherwise they would have been under even greater pressure.

Ke Gong used Lin Shi to establish a separate safe house channel.

Lin Shi is his disciple, and he has no task of collecting information, and he is also in a dormant state. It is most suitable for him to do this.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it."

After hearing what Ke Gong said, Lin Shi immediately promised.

He has earned a lot of money now. In fact, a lot of money has been given to the organization, but he can't give it all, and he must keep some of it.

There is nowhere to use the money, and he is in a hurry to save it all the time.

Well this time, the money finally came into play.

"There is something for you to analyze for me."

Ke Gong suddenly thought of Shiyuan Trading Company, took Lin Shi to the study, and told him about Shiyuan Trading Company.

But he didn't tell him about Fang Shiyi, Fang Shiyi and Lin Shi were not on the same line, it was unnecessary, and Lin Shi couldn't let him know.

"You want me to do business with this stone original firm?"

Lin Shi asked suspiciously, it is no problem to cooperate with Shiyuan Trading Company, but this is a Japanese trading company, thinking about it makes him feel a little uncomfortable.

But he understands that, let alone doing business, even if he is asked to marry a Japanese woman, as long as it is for work, he will do it.

One's own mentality must not affect the mission, this is the basic principle of the agent.

"It can be considered, but only for business, don't use them to collect any intelligence."

It is enough for Shiyuan Trading Company to have Alchemist Yi, and Lin Shi's Trading Company only needs to do business with them.

Through business, you can also learn more about Shiyuan Trading Company.

"I understand, don't worry, I'll do it right away."

Lin Shi nodded, cooperation? It's very simple. He is a buyer and has money. No matter who he finds, he will be happy.

Regardless of the fact that the two sides are at war, there are quite a few people doing business with the Japanese today.

In the Department of Defense he knew several.

"Be careful, Ishihara Heng is not a simple person, don't let him see the flaws."

Ke Gong exhorted, Lin Shi smiled: "I am your disciple, you should have confidence in me."

"Yes, but it's never a mistake to be careful."

Ke Gong laughed and said, Lin Shi's ability is very clear to him, there is absolutely no problem in doing such a thing, and through Lin Shi's understanding of Shiyuan Trading Company on the other hand, it is a double win.

"Master, I don't have that much time today, I'll come back tomorrow."

Lin Shi looked at his watch, he had been out for a long time, he needed to go back, and after going back, he would not have nothing to do.

Establishing a firm requires a lot of things, such as registering a company, finding a location and warehouse, recruiting manpower, etc. In addition, since this is a stronghold, Mr. Ke needs to arrange reliable people for him to guard it.

In addition, he also wants to continue to study with Ke Gong. All things take time, and he has no time to waste.

……

There is a Japanese restaurant in the Japanese Concession, which is very famous. Many Japanese military officers like to come here to taste the authentic food of their hometown.

Chu Lingyun is now a rich and powerful business owner, and today he chose this place for a banquet for Inoue's boss and fellow countryman.

Chi Shang arrived at Shiyuan Trading Company early, and went to the hotel with Chu Lingyun.

"Ishihara-kun, do you want to use Takemoto's relationship to expand your business?"

There were only two people in the car, Ikegami asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chishang is really smart. To do business, you need connections. The more connections you have, the bigger your business will be."

Chu Lingyun didn't hide it, and Chishang gave him admiring glances. No wonder Shi Yuan was so young and had such a big business. He was not only bold and careful, but also very good at maintaining relationships.

During the war before, Ishihara Heng dared to sell goods at the battle site, which proved his courage.Now that Shanghai has become their turf, Ishihara Heng is even more comfortable.

The car soon arrived at the place. Chu Lingyun had made an appointment in advance, and the hotel had prepared rooms for them.

The room is not big, but very cozy.

Ikegami looked around curiously. He knew this place, but he had never been here. The main reason is that the consumption here is too high. It is said that a meal here costs at least a hundred yen.

He has money, but he is not willing to give it.

After seeing the private room, Chu Lingyun was very satisfied. In fact, he had an impression of this place. Tomotaka Hosokawa had been here before, but it was the first time for him to come here by himself.

"Let's go to the door and wait."

After Chu Lingyun said something, Chishang stood with him at the door, and after a while, a military vehicle drove over.

"Master Chishang, Ishihara-kun, are you here so early?"

Inoue got out of the car and asked immediately, and another man in his 30s got out of the car, wearing the military uniform of the gendarmerie and the rank of major.

"Major Takemoto, Ishihara Toru, this is Lieutenant Ike Zhousi. It's an honor for you to honor me."

Chu Lingyun immediately stepped forward and said respectfully, Takemoto Hidesaku gave him a curious look, this is the very powerful businessman Inoue said?
Ishihara Hiroshi and Hosokawa Tomotaka are classmates, Hosokawa is not very old, Ishihara Hiroshi is not much older, too young.

"Hello Ishihara-kun."

Takemoto Hidesaku replied that after Inoue went back, he told him a lot.

Basically, everything that was said with Chu Lingyun and Ikegami was told to Takemoto Shusaku.

For businessmen, Takemoto Hidesaku was not so cold.

But this businessman is different, he is a classmate of Hosokawa Tomotaka, and Ike Zhouji is a retainer of the Hosokawa family.

Takemoto Hidesaku doesn't have any background, so it would be great if he could climb up to the Hosokawa family through them.

"Takemoto-kun, please come inside."

Chu Lingyun made a gesture and asked Takemoto Hidesaku to go in front, the four of them entered the box, and Inoue immediately looked around.

It was also his first time here, and the decoration was too luxurious.

He had never eaten in such a nice place.

I used to think that the tea room of Ishihara Trading Company was very good, but I didn't expect it to be better here.

"Inoue is my friend's younger brother. I know you have taken care of him. Thank you very much."

After ordering the dishes, Takemoto Shusaku said softly that his relationship with Inoue is not only from his hometown, but also Inoue's brother is also his comrade in arms.

But Inoue's elder brother was killed in battle, so he took care of Inoue.

"Takemoto-kun, Inoue is my friend. He helped me before. We should help each other."

Chu Lingyun smiled, and Chishang also nodded beside him: "Inoue is a good boy. He worked hard before. I believe he will develop better in the future with your care in the Gendarmerie."

After continuing the old days, everyone eats and drinks. The reason why this restaurant is famous among the Japanese is because all the ingredients here are shipped from Japan.

Here you can taste the authentic taste of hometown.

The cost is high, and the price is naturally high.

"Takemoto-kun, are you thirty this year?"

After drinking for three rounds, Chu Lingyun asked casually. After chatting for so long, the four of them are already acquainted. Takemoto smiled and shook his head: "I'm 33 this year."

The 33-year-old Major is neither tall nor low.

If you go step by step, you can be promoted to lieutenant sergeant before the age of 40, and you have great hope of becoming a colonel in the future, but it will be difficult to advance one step further.

This is the case in any country, and it is not easy to become a general.

However, there are many opportunities to make meritorious service during wartime, and you can be promoted quickly, depending on whether you can seize the opportunity.

"33, not too young, Takemoto-kun, how long has it been since you were promoted to major?"

Chu Lingyun asked again, Takemoto Hidesaku's eyebrows twitched slightly, what does it mean that he is not young?
"Three years."

Takemoto Hidesaku's tone was a little lighter, the two sides were not that familiar, and Chu Lingyun's words made him a little unhappy.

"Three years is enough time, Mr. Takemoto, do you want to go further?"

Chu Lingyun asked with a smile. He knew that he was a little anxious to ask such a question, and it was not suitable to talk about it when they met for the first time.

But Inoue is going to study soon, and there is no reason for him to ask Takemoto out alone in the future. Now that we have met, it is better to make it clear earlier.

The earlier, the better for the future.

"Ishihara-kun, what do you mean?"

Takemoto was a little puzzled, Chu Lingyun poured him a glass of wine, and said slowly: "You also know that Hosokawa Tomotaka is my classmate, he knows your commander, General Matsumoto, if he is willing to speak for you, you major , I am afraid that he will soon become a lieutenant assistant."

When Chu Lingyun hadn't finished speaking, Takemoto Hidesaku's heart began to beat faster.

"But Master Hosokawa and I don't know each other well."

Takemoto pretended to be embarrassed and said that some time ago, the Hosokawa family was frantically looking for this young master, and he knew about it. Even he led people to look for it for a long time, but unfortunately they couldn't find it.

If he can establish a relationship with Master Hosokawa, as long as he is willing to speak for him, it will not be difficult to get promoted.

"You forgot again, Zhixiao and I have a very good relationship, before and now."

Chu Lingyun smiled slightly: "And I just met Zhixiao not long ago."

"Do you know where Master Hosokawa is?"

Takemoto held back his excitement and asked cautiously.

"do not know."

Just as Takemoto showed disappointment, Chu Lingyun's next words made his heart beat faster again.
