Spy Shadow

“Don’t worry, we’ve been acquiring land.”

Fang Shiyi replied that it was Chu Lingyun's strategy to keep acquiring land, and he would implement it. The land was not limited to prosperous areas, but could be obtained as long as it was close to the city center.

Chu Lingyun is very clear about how well Hong Kong will develop in the future. Hong Kong is still too small now. Regardless of the land acquired now, it will become a prosperous place in the future. By then, you can make a lot of money by selling houses.

“How is the company’s cash flow?”

"There is plenty of cash, and there are about US$300 million on the books now, which is enough to cover all current expenses."

The predecessor of Chu Company was Ishihara Trading Company. Ishihara Trading Company originally had a lot of assets and many ships. At its peak, there were thousands of cargo ships of various types.

The quantity is high, but the quality is not good.

When they first moved to Hong Kong, Chu's company had been replacing ships. They borrowed a lot of money from the bank, scrapped and sold all the old ships and replaced them with new ships.

The new ships are larger and can carry more cargo, which can save costs.

Chu's company has been very profitable in recent years and has made a lot of money from shipping. If Chu Lingyun hadn't prevented Fang Shiyi from paying back all the money in the bank, they would not be in debt now.

But without debt, development will not be so fast.

Fang Shiyi has understood Chu Lingyun's operation back then. Regardless of the high interest rate, it has indeed allowed Chu Company to develop better. If it were not for the loan, I am afraid that Chu Company would only be able to complete the replacement of all ships and hoard so much land. impossible.

It is true that the richer the capital, the more profitable it is.

"Continue to take loans, continue to acquire land, and just keep 100 million on the books."

Chu Lingyun nodded. Since you have money, spend it. It won't generate much interest on the bank's books, and it can't be compared with profits.

You don’t have to worry about acquiring a lot of land. Even if you can’t develop it yourself, you can develop it together with others.

At the worst, you can sell it. The land you buy now will cost at least several times if you sell it later.

"Yes, boss."

Fang Shiyi responded that there was nothing wrong with the land acquisition strategy. Things are different now. Having been a general manager for so many years, his horizons have broadened a lot and he can see the future development prospects of Hong Kong. If he acquires land now, he will definitely make money in the future.

"Don't give up on the dock side. Help me make an appointment with those knights, and ask them to play cards, fish, and golf."

Chu Lingyun has always wanted a dock, but the British are very strict about docks. The current Hong Kong dock will definitely be expanded in the future. He must prepare in advance to secure a good location in the future.

The dock represents identity, status, and even strength.

The few warehouses he has now are incomparable to real docks.

"I'll go make an appointment with them right away."

Fang Shiyi replied that it was not appropriate for his boss to intervene in this kind of matter. After all, he was only the general manager, not the boss.

Besides, the boss has a very high status in the United States. The boss invited those people to come forward to give them face.

It's different for him. If he goes to make an appointment, those people will give him face.

Even though there are only a few words missing, the meaning is completely different.

Fang Shiyi made an appointment with three people. The three old knights were very satisfied with Chu Lingyun's invitation and agreed.

Chu Lingyun took them to play, mainly playing cards.

Play cards to lose.

In a few days, Chu Lingyun lost to them more than one million US dollars. He lost very appropriately. Everyone won about the same amount, about half a million dollars. The three of them were very satisfied, but Chu Lingyun did not make any demands. Just give them money for free.

They don't get this money for free, they have to speak for themselves at critical moments.

The three old foxes knew very well that Chu Lingyun was just giving them money and would need their help in the future.

It's no problem to help. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are not a small amount to them, and they won the money at the poker table. This money is more secure.

Hong Kong at this time was not that clean and honest.

It's okay now, but it will be more chaotic in the future, otherwise there wouldn't be a department like the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

Chu Lingyun is not afraid of them taking money. His money is not that easy to get. Once he takes the money, he has to do things for him.

Although he is not a gangster, when he is black, those gangsters are not enough.

As a person who was a spy chief during the war years, no matter who underestimated him, he would pay a very heavy price, let alone if he was rich.

At this time in Hong Kong, having money is not everything, but having money and wisdom is infinitely close to everything.

Chu Lingyun found not only three knights, but also other high-level officials such as the Hong Kong Governor.

He won't mention the dock now. He should build a good relationship first. When the dock is expanded, he will have a place.

Anyone who dares not to give it to him, or whoever dares to cause trouble, will all be in trouble.

Japan, Tokyo.

Inoue stood up from the office chair, stretched and walked outside.

The driver and bodyguard were already waiting and opened the door as soon as he came out.

At the end of last year, Inoue successfully took over as the head of the Special Search Department. The young boy who was still a student at the time has now become a mature and steady head in middle age.

Inoue's succession was indeed smooth. Takemoto had started to train him a long time ago. Inoue was the first person around Takemoto and had the highest prestige.

He takes over and others are convinced.

Don't be convinced. The old people who are really following Takemoto all know that Takemoto became the head of the special search department entirely because of Ishihara Toru behind him.

The relationship between Inoue and Hiroshi Ishihara is much stronger than theirs.

Even Takemoto met Ishihara Hiroshi after being introduced by Inoue, which completely changed his destiny.

They are completely incomparable.

That's good, Takemoto doesn't have to clean up the old department to clear the barrier for Inoue.

Besides, he's not dead, he just retreated. If anything happens to the Special Investigation Department, he can come over and help at any time.

He is the vice president of Yuanjin Shrine and currently only handles the affairs of Yuanjin Shrine. Yuanjin Shrine is also a behemoth and complements the special search department.

"grown ups."

Inoue did not go home, but first came to Genjin Shrine to meet Takemoto.

"coming."

Seeing Inoue, Takemoto smiled.

Takemoto already has a lot of gray hair on his head. When he met Ishihara Hiroshi, he was in his prime, in his thirties. Now, almost twenty years have passed, and he is almost sixty years old.

In his eyes, Inoue was still little more than a child.

In particular, Inoue came to see him at least twice a week to report on the work of the Special Search Department, which satisfied him the most. Takemoto had retreated, but he was still able to control the Special Search Department through Inoue.

Inoue walked to the tea table and made tea for himself, while talking about the special search department.

To put it bluntly, the Special Investigation Department is a knife in the hands of the Americans. Everything must be based on the wishes of the Americans. This was the case when Takemoto was here, and it is still the same after Inoue took over.

For Americans, this knife only needs to be controlled in their own hands.

It doesn’t matter who is the minister.

The commanders of the U.S. stationed in Japan have changed several times, but Carl has never left. Not only has he not left, his status has become higher and higher.

Takemoto knew better than anyone else that Karl was actually Ishihara Hiroshi, or someone who was supported by Chu Lingyun.

With him in Japan, the Special Investigation Department will always be firmly in their hands.

It's mutual benefit.

Karl is now a brigadier general, and his military rank in Japan is not the highest. However, Chu Lingyun has been training and supporting him, and with the care of his old leader Mike, there is no problem for him to be promoted to major general.

With Chu Lingyun's instructions, he took the special search department more seriously and would not let the special search department fall into the hands of others.

"Sir, when will Ishihara-kun come back?"

After talking about the special search department, Inoue took the initiative to ask Ishihara Hiroshi. Ishihara Hiroshi was the backbone of all of them. Whether it was the original literary club or the current Genshin Shrine, anyone could be missing, but Ishihara Hiroshi could not be missing.

Without Hiroshi Ishihara, Genjin Shrine will be disbanded soon.

First of all, there is a big problem in terms of funding. At present, the source of funds for Genjin Shrine is mainly Holley Company, and Holley Company is under the name of Hosokawa Tomotaka. The Hosokawa family has never asked about matters of Genjin Shrine, but if Ishihara Toru is not here, they will not Funding may continue.

When Toru Ishihara asked Shun Mizuro to register the company in the name of Tomotaka Hosokawa, he probably had such an intention.

"I don't know. Normally, he will come once every six months at the latest. I guess it won't be too long this time."

Takemoto shook his head. He also hoped that Hiroshi Ishihara would stay in Japan, but Hiroshi Ishihara himself said that he couldn't help himself and needed to deal with some things outside.

Genjin Shrine now has more than 300 members, and everyone came in after being approved by Takemoto. According to the rules or the development of Genjin Shrine, Toru Ishihara should come here during this time.

Just like the original literary club, Ishihara Hiroshi will personally and individually meet all new members who join the club.

Ishihara Hiroshi must be coming soon too.

Takemoto's guess was correct. After the incident in Hong Kong, Chu Lingyun took Chu Yuan to Japan under the name Ishihara Hiroshi.

It was only three days since Takemoto and Inoue met.

"Ishihara-kun."

Takemoto and Shuicheng Jun came to report together, and both of them were very excited.

Now they are both vice presidents. Shuisheng Shun is mainly responsible for the things on the surface, while Takemoto is responsible for the secret things. Together, the two of them, plus the Special Investigation Department, the Americans, and the Intelligence Department, Chu Lingyun is responsible for Tokyo The control power can be said to be very large now.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let me inform the new members and I will meet with them tomorrow."

Chu Lingyun smiled and nodded. After the inconspicuous Sakagami Yuuki provoked him last time and was eaten out by him, no one dared to target them now.

The development of Yuanshen Society has been very good, and many people want to join. If the conditions were not very strict, the number of members would be even greater now.

"yes."

The two of them took the order together, Shuicheng Shun went to inform the new members, and Takemoto reported the current situation first.

Takemoto is responsible for Anami, and he is mainly in charge of three aspects.

The first is the Special Investigation Department. Inoue is the minister, and he is the Supreme Emperor. Today, the Special Investigation Department is still under his control, but he no longer intervenes in many things.

Secondly, there are the ronin gangs he gathered at the beginning. The entire underground forces in Tokyo are under his control.

The third is the Intelligence Department.

The Intelligence Division is divided into two parts, the Training Division is in charge of Kubo, and the Secret Service is in charge of Chen Zhanli.

Takemoto is now in charge of both departments.

Kubo's training office has been training new agents. The agents who graduate every year are immediately dispersed. Chen Zhanli controls these agents. He does not need to report to Kubo, but he must report to Takemoto regularly.

Takemoto will assign their tasks.

These agents are now all over the world, in companies and even government departments everywhere,

What they have to do is collect various technologies, understand their research and development progress, etc.

There are not many people, but with these people, Chu Lingyun is equivalent to having a direct understanding of the development of science and technology around the world.

If there is any technology you need, get it as soon as possible.

Using Ishihara Hiroshi's identity to do this, Chu Lingyun didn't have any psychological burden. What's wrong with being despicable? That's because Ishihara Hiroshi is despicable, not him.

Takemoto finished his report, and Toshiro Mizunoshi came back to continue his report.

What he reported mainly was the development of Yuan Shrine.

There are about seventy new members, and their starting point is not particularly high. People who have applied at high levels have been reviewed by them, and those who can get in are brought in, and those who cannot get in are not accepted.

Those who have never applied, they don’t want to join, they have sent invitations to a small number of them after review, and they will give up if they refuse.

Chu Lingyun didn't care about this. Yuan Shrine wanted the future, not the present.

Japan's economic recovery in the past two years has indeed been good, surpassing that before the war. Many people have great expectations for Japan's future.

Holley Company and Yagyu Company are constantly acquiring land in Japan in accordance with Chu Lingyun's requirements.

As the economy develops, house prices will inevitably rise. This is a path that all countries in the world have taken. If you get land now, you can make more money in the future.

Even if Chu Lingyun didn't know the details, she still knew how crazy Japan's real estate was.

At least from now to 1991, over the past thirty years, Japan's housing prices will not fall, and they will rise again after a small fall.

There is also the Japanese yen, which currently maintains a fixed exchange rate with the US dollar, about 360

This exchange rate will not last forever. The Japanese yen will definitely appreciate in the future as the economy develops. Appreciation can also make Chu Lingyun make money.

The rise and fall of foreign exchange is an opportunity to make money.

Why not make money from Japanese people?

The more money there is, the more money can be spent on Yuan Shrine.

The United States is the financial backer behind Chu Lingyun, while Japan is the operator. Chu Lingyun will always maintain such influence.

"What was the response to those movies?"

After Shuicheng Jun finished his report, Chu Lingyun took the initiative to ask. Loach made several more reflective films, this time more explicit. One of them directly reflected on their invasion, and was shot entirely with oriental people.

Film the crimes they commit.

The box office of these movies in the United States is not very good, but they can make some money in Japan. They are mainly must-see movies. How can the box office be low?

While you still have this power, you must use it a few more times.

Especially in schools, students have to watch these movies.

"The response has been good. Many people have a clearer understanding of war."

Shuicheng Jun replied softly, movies can only affect some people, not all.

These movies are not without resistance. Some crazy people even block the cinema. The crazier they are, the sooner they will die. Takemoto has been watching and has eliminated dozens of such lunatics.

Killing them is easy.

Takemoto was very familiar with this matter, and deliberately let them hold a party, and sent them to see Amaterasu with a fire, and everything was settled.
