Spy Shadow

Chapter 511 Helping the Boss

Jun Shuicheng understands that he must be more diligent and let Ishihara Hiroshi see his value, otherwise he will be squeezed out of this small group sooner or later as time goes by.

Glancing at Ishihara Trading Company behind him, Jun Shuicheng left with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Ishihara-kun, please teach me."

Takemoto lowered his head to Chu Lingyun with a very sincere attitude. With Ishihara-kun's wisdom, he would definitely be able to guide him and let him know how to work to satisfy General Matsumoto.

"Takemoto-kun, do you know that there have been many Japanese companies in Shanghai recently?"

Chu Lingyun said while pouring tea.

Takemoto was a little confused, but still nodded: "Yes, there are many new trading houses established. Now Shanghai is the territory of the empire, and many people come to do business and want to make more money."

"Did you know that General Matsumoto has a younger brother who also opened a business?"

"What?"

Matsumoto was startled, he really didn't know about this.

"General Matsumoto's brother opened a cloth shop, but the business was not very good. The main reason was that he did not choose the right place. There were many newly opened cloth shops nearby. His products were not very competitive, so he can barely survive now. "

Chu Lingyun brewed a new pot of tea and said slowly.

"what should I do?"

Takemoto asked immediately. He understood that Ishihara Hiroshi would not mention this matter for no reason. Since he said it, there must be a way.

Apart from anything else, when it comes to business, he absolutely admires Hiroshi Ishihara.

Whether investing in commodities or investing in people, Hiroshi Ishihara has unique vision and ability.

"You are in the Intelligence Department. What will happen if someone in those trading firms violates the ban and secretly does business with the Chinese?"

Chu Lingyun smiled, and Takemoto's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood what Chu Lingyun meant.

"But without evidence, I can't attack them."

Takemoto showed a trace of hesitation, and Chu Lingyun smiled again: "Evidence is not difficult. If you want evidence, you can find some means. The important thing is to find out their background before taking action."

"I understand, I'll check it right away."

Takemoto stood up. As soon as he stood up, he thought of something and bowed deeply to Chu Lingyun: "Thank you, Mr. Ishihara, for your advice."

Who knows whether the business run by General Matsumoto’s younger brother has anything to do with General Matsumoto.

Even if not, if he helps, General Matsumoto will definitely like it, who doesn't want his family to live a better life.

He didn't even know that General Matsumoto's brother came to Shanghai, but Ishihara Toru knew about it, and Ishihara Toru's ability in his mind improved a lot.

The most important thing is that Ishihara Hiroshi gave him a reminder today, and he understood what he needed to do to repay Ishihara-kun.

General Matsumoto's brother has a competitor, doesn't Ishihara Trading Company have one?

Ishihara Trading Company is located in the concession, but many businesses are related to the Japanese.

Killing Ishihara-kun's competitors is the greatest help to Ishihara-kun.

Two days later, Takemoto found out about General Matsumoto's brother and his rival.

The scale of that cloth shop is not small, but as Ishihara-kun said, General Matsumoto's brother is not very good at running a business, so the business can only be maintained at present.

It's hard to make money.

General Matsumoto did not tell the outside world about this matter, let alone help personally.

Takemoto launched a series of attacks and defeated the five biggest rivals to General Matsumoto's younger brother Buhang. The reason was simple. These Buhang people had opinions against the empire and suspected that they had colluded with the Chinese.

They smuggled cloth and supplied it to the Chinese army.

Under severe punishment, no one will refuse to confess.

Five Japanese cloth shops were seized. Takemoto sold the goods to General Matsumoto's brother at a low price, and the shop was taken over by Ishihara Trading Company.

Chu Lingyun will do other businesses in these shops to prevent others from doing the cloth business later.

These five companies have little background, otherwise they would not be so easily ruined.

"Takemoto, come to my office."

As soon as he finished doing this, Takemoto received a call from General Matsumoto. He cleaned himself up and went over immediately.

"General Matsumoto, you are looking for me."

Takemoto stood respectfully in front of the desk and asked with his head lowered.

"Have you sealed up five cloth shops that secretly do business with the Chinese?" General Matsumoto looked at Takemoto with satisfaction in his eyes.

After hearing what he said, Takemoto felt at ease.

The general is talking about secretly doing business with the Chinese. What does this mean? It means that the general approves of the case he is handling.

"Yes, this is my duty. I cannot tolerate these people taking advantage of the facilities provided by the empire to do whatever they want for money. With so much cloth sold to the Chinese army, how many clothes can we make for them?"

Takemoto said angrily that these five trading companies were all wronged and beaten into submission by him.

But as long as he doesn't tell, who can know?

"Very good, you did a good job. It seems that it is right to let you be the director of the intelligence department. I was hesitant before, fearing that you would not do well, but I was worrying too much."

Matsumoto nodded with satisfaction. His brother's cloth business was nothing to him. It was just that when his brother saw the empire killing everyone in China, he wanted to dig for gold.

Matsumoto helped him pay for the cloth business.

As a result, his business failed to do well, and he cried every day, asking his brother to help him find a solution.

What could he do? He didn't understand business matters, and he became upset after a few times. As a result, before he could figure out a solution, Takemoto helped him resolve this worry.

His younger brother got the goods from those five companies at a low price and was very happy. He came over to express his thanks.

Only then did he know that Takemoto helped him solve this big trouble.

"You flatter me."

"Ishihara Trading Company also intervened?"

General Matsumoto asked suddenly. He knew Ishihara Toru. When Hosokawa Tomotaka met him, he talked a lot about Ishihara Toru. He even said bluntly that Ishihara Toru was very smart. If he encountered trouble in the future, Ishihara Toru would even Can help.

Matsumoto has conducted an investigation into Ishihara Trading Company. This trading company is really powerful. Not only are the prices of the goods low, but they are also more complete than other trading companies. Whether they are Japanese or other trading companies, they all like to buy goods from them.

Ishihara Trading Company sells at least two large ships of various goods every month, and the business is very large.

Five competitors of Brother Bu Company were arrested, and the goods were sold to Brother Company at a cheap price. The shop was taken over by Ishihara Company, and they immediately switched to other businesses. This was obviously to pave the way for younger brother to make his future business easier.

With fewer competitors, business will naturally be better.

Takemoto hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "To be honest, General, it was actually Ishihara Hiroshi who instructed me to do this."

Takemoto did not hide the truth, nor did he dare.

If General Matsumoto doesn't ask, he doesn't have to say anything, but if he asks, he can't lie or deceive.

When the literary society is established in the future, General Matsumoto will definitely join the literary society, and with Toru Ishihara's ability and skill, he will definitely be able to make General Matsumoto happy.

If they mention this matter in the future and discover that he lied, they may not only lose his current treatment and status, but may even lose everything.

Although Ishihara Hiroshi has never lost his temper and is a businessman, he has an instinctive fear of Ishihara Hiroshi.

Ishihara Hiroshi has a strong grasp on people's hearts, is very good at doing things, and is extremely rich. As for using his own rights to deal with Ishihara Hiroshi, he has never dared to think about it.

Tomotaka Hosokawa alone is not a big shot that he can resist, and he is not floating yet.

The reason why General Matsumoto was willing to accept him and help him get promoted was not because Hosokawa Tomotaka spoke for him.

He has never even met Tomotaka Hosokawa, so why would he help him?

The root of everything lies in Ishihara Hiroshi.

"I understand, please go out first."

Matsumoto nodded lightly. Sure enough, there was someone behind Takemoto who was giving advice. Tomohashi said last time that his classmate was very powerful, not only rich but also capable.

They helped him solve a big problem before they even met.

He is now also curious about this Ishihara Hiroshi, and he can go and meet him some other day. After all, Ishihara Hiroshi has contributed a lot to the establishment of the literary society.

"Ishihara-kun, you are so awesome. General Matsumoto is very satisfied with what I did."

After leaving General Matsumoto's office, Takemoto immediately ran to Ishihara Trading Company and gave Ishihara Hiroshi a thumbs up when they met.

Catching a few traders who secretly do business with the Chinese is not a big achievement. It would be a trivial matter in other places.

But if such a small thing helps your boss, it is a big deal.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Chu Lingyun smiled and said, how could he be dissatisfied with this kind of thing? Chu Lingyun asked Ran Wu to investigate General Matsumoto's matter.

Feng Yong had evacuated from Wuhan. After nothing happened, Chu Lingyun asked him to return to Shanghai first. Feng Yong did a good job this time and completed the task well.

From now on, things that are inconvenient for Ni Loach and the others can be left to Feng Yong and the others.

…

Wuhan, Party Affairs Investigation Division.

Zhao Zaili lowered his head and stood in front of Old Ghost Xu.

The search failed and he did not find Jian Zhifang. So much time had passed, maybe Jian Zhifang had arrived in Yanzhou, changed his name and started a new life.

Neither the people nor the money were found.

What made Old Ghost Xu even more annoyed was that he didn't know who leaked the secret. The old man knew that Jian Zhifang was taken away by the Red Party.

Just yesterday, the old man called him over and scolded him severely for half an hour.

If the old man hadn't personally taken charge of Wuhan's defense work, he would have been very busy and could have scolded him for two hours non-stop.

Zhao Zaili didn't find anyone, but he leaked the news. Old ghost Xu was very angry.

"Virgo, you are humble and incompetent..."

"You are just incompetent. You can't do such a thing well. I asked you to find someone, but you couldn't find him. Bao Shengqun found him. He was generous and asked you to arrest him. He gave you all the clues. But what about you, where is the person you arrested?"

"If you can't catch anyone alive, you can bring me a dead one. There's nothing. Do you know how the chairman scolded me?"

Old Ghost Xu scolded him so hard that Zhao Zaili didn't even dare to raise his head.

After he finished scolding, Old Ghost Xu was still angry, so he threw a book and hit Zhao Zaili.

He now regrets why he gave the task of arresting people to Zhao Zaili. It would have been better to continue to let Bao Shengqun be in charge. Maybe he would have captured the person long ago.

"Get out of here."

Zhao Zaili could not withdraw, at least not now, but he no longer had any expectations for Zhao Zaili.

The Intelligence Department cannot be in the hands of Zhao Zaili. Bao Shengqun performed very well this time, but he was too lazy.

"According to my order, Wu Weiming, deputy section chief of the General Affairs Section, was transferred to the Intelligence Section as deputy section chief, and Bao Shengqun was promoted to deputy section chief of the General Affairs Section and leader of the equipment team."

Old Ghost Xu gave the order to his secretary that he could completely control such personnel transfers and just report it to his superiors afterwards.

He has great power in the Party Affairs Investigation Office, which is also the result that Er Chen won for him.

What Xu Laogui wanted most was for Bao Shengqun to come to the Intelligence Department, first as deputy section chief and then as section chief.

But Bao Shengqun did not agree and he could not force the order.

It's not that I'm worried that Bao Shengqun will work as a foreigner and not work seriously, but that Bao Shengqun's family is not easy to deal with.

His niece is very strong like her mother.

Her mother died early and entrusted herself to take care of her. If Xu Suzhen came to him and cried and made trouble, he would not want to do anything next.

Xu Suzhen can definitely do such a thing.

First, upgrade Bao Shengqun's rank, ask Wu Weiming to help him occupy a seat, then go back and appease Xu Suzhen, and then transfer Bao Shengqun to the Intelligence Department.

At that time, he will not be the deputy section chief, but the section chief.

Old ghost Xu made up his mind that whether Bao Shengqun wanted to or not, he must come to the intelligence department to help him, and he could not let him continue to hang around.

What he lacks most now is someone of his own who is capable and trustworthy.

Shanghai, Shiyuan Trading Company.

"Ishihara-kun, you are looking for me."

Shuicheng Jun came to Ishihara Trading Company. He ran over after receiving a call from Ishihara Hiroshi. Ishihara Hiroshi's matter was the most important to him and he could not delay for a minute.

"You take these manuscripts and print them into books. Remember, it is the publishing house that discovered these excellent works and took the initiative to request printing. In addition, you find some people in advance. After these books are sent to the bookstore, arrange for them to snap up them."

Chu Lingyun took out two manuscripts, one belonging to Matsumoto and one belonging to Hosokawa Tomotaka.

The two often discuss literature together, and Chu Lingyun knows the contents of all their manuscripts.

Printing is not difficult, but once printed, it cannot be used as a display.

This batch of books must be approved.

"Yes, I understand."

"The release of these books in bookstores should be on the same day as the establishment of the literary society. Find more people and let the bookstore limit the purchase to one copy per person, and ask them to actively ask for the author's signature."

"Okay, don't worry, I promise to get it done."

Shuisheng Shun didn't understand the reason why Ishihara Hiroshi did this, but he would carry out what Ishihara Hiroshi told him meticulously.

"Go to the accountant to get the money. I've made arrangements."

Printing books, finding sailors, and buying books require a lot of money, but this money is nothing to Chu Lingyun.

Matsumoto is very important and must be tied to the literary club's car.

Chu Lingyun didn't let Takemoto do this. He couldn't leave everything to Takemoto. Shuicheng Jun was very suitable. He had the lowest role in the literary society and would be very attentive when doing such a thing.

"Hai, I'll go right away."

Shuicheng Jun is very happy, Ishihara-kun has not forgotten him yet, just give him a task.

The last time he went back, he planned to apply for transfer to a less busy department in the school, so that he would have more time to serve the literary club and Hiroshi Ishihara.

After the transfer, it will be more difficult to get promoted in the future, but as long as Ishihara Hiroshi is satisfied, let alone promotion, it is not a problem to want a better position.

Which one is light and which one is serious, he can tell clearly.

Chapter 8 will be added to the monthly ticket. I am adjusting my work schedule and fixing myself to strive for 16,000 updates per day.
