Chapter 41: Being remembered
Qin Chuan's words made Qi Lanfeng suddenly open his eyes.
"Is there a problem? What's the problem!"
We had just conducted surveillance on Wanhe Trading Company, and a problematic bookstore suddenly appeared opposite it. How could this not surprise Qi Lanfeng!
With two problem locations close to each other, it is very likely that one party is acting as a cover and protection measure for the other party. If they are not careful, their actions of monitoring and tracking Wanhe Trading Company will be exposed, and the other party may even take advantage of it and take advantage of it.
They found out the details and personnel of the hidden intelligence team.
Thinking of this, Qi Lanfeng was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
Qin Chuan opened his wallet, took out a few records from it, picked out two and said, "I just suspect there is something wrong with it, but I'm not completely sure yet."
"The two records in my hand are "Black Sunday" produced by the Vivendi Company in Paris, France and released by the Hungarians; the other is produced by the Columbia Records Company in New York and played by the American Jewish musician Menuhin
, Ravel’s concerto.”
Qin Chuan pointed to the foreign letters on the envelopes of the two records and said to Qi Lanfeng, "Old Qi, you have to pay attention that these two records were just recorded and released last month."
Although Qi Lanfeng did not understand English or French, he could recognize the Arabic numerals, and the words 1936, 11, were clearly printed on them.
"And."
Qin Chuan picked up a few more records, "Here are the ones from the British EMI record company, this one is from Italy, this one is from Hungary, and this one is from Poland."
"Look at the time they were released. Although they are not in November, they were all released in the second half of this year."
Qi Lanfeng frowned and asked doubtfully, "But what does this mean?"
Qin Chuan said, "I often go to the Life Herald. I know more about music and fashion. Records are not very profitable. None of the foreign banks in the Shanghai Concession deal with these things. Only Xianshi Company does this."
Only large department stores and some large booksellers will purchase and sell. Booksellers usually purchase goods wholesale from large companies, such as Xianshi, or by mailing them back from Hong Kong or Guangzhou. I just came from
Xianshi came over, but Xianshi Company doesn’t have these two latest ones.”
"Also, it has a comprehensive collection of records. It has almost all records produced by major European and American record companies. A small bookstore like this shouldn't have such extensive and timely purchase channels. I asked the clerk, these two
I wanted to buy a few more of the latest records, but the guy told me they only had three of each."
Seeing Qi Lanfeng listening attentively, Qin Chuan continued, "If you want to buy records from so many countries in a timely manner, there is actually the most convenient channel, which is to have large companies purchase goods abroad and help them bring small batches of them.
Some things, but although this is a simple effort, it is also a very energy-consuming and non-profitable thing, and no one would be willing to do it in a normal relationship."
"There is another possibility, that is, the staff of embassies and consulates stationed abroad. If they want to purchase these things in small quantities, a diplomatic bag can solve the problem."
Qi Lanfeng finally realized it and slapped his forehead regretfully, "You mean they might be related to Wanhe Trading Company or the Japanese Naval Attaché?"
Qin Chuan nodded, "If that's the case, then the source of their records can be explained. Also, I wonder if you noticed that the window of the bookstore is not only very big, but also very beautiful."
Qi Lanfeng said angrily, "Of course I have noticed it. In the bookstore, you can clearly see everyone entering and leaving Wanhe Trading Company. I am also planning to send someone over tomorrow to see if I can redeem it from that bookstore. Today
If we hadn't met you, we would have almost reported our home to the Japanese."
"Besides, you're right. It costs a lot of money for a small bookstore like them to have such a big window display and decorate it very elegantly."
Qi Lanfeng suddenly stopped talking, looked at Qin Chuan and said, "No, you can't be so carefree anymore. You have to get more involved in the affairs of our intelligence team. You can't just be a deputy team leader and not do much serious work.
."
Qin Chuan sighed and said, "If I had known this, I wouldn't have said anything about this bookstore."
Qin Chuan is very unwilling to take charge of the specific affairs of the latent group, so that its comfortable and extremely free life will be disrupted.
In order to dispel Qi Lanfeng's thoughts, Qin Chuan said seriously, "Also, I am not only a popular writer, but also a famous lecturer at St. John's University. I will probably be the youngest professor in the Republic of China next year. I have participated in too many things in our intelligence team.
Aren’t you afraid that I will reveal my identity?”
Qin Chuan's words made Qi Lanfeng roll his eyes in anger. He glanced at the five or six guests in the cafe. Qi Lanfeng leaned forward and whispered angrily, "You stinky boy, don't worry.
I have already thought about this matter. In the future, in addition to those people in the telecommunications team, you will also have to take care of the affairs of the intelligence team. I will arrange an office for you in Lao Wang’s newspaper office. That is the office of our intelligence team.
Your identity will continue to be kept secret from all the people in the intelligence team. I have already reported to the department and asked them to send a makeup expert to give us makeup training."
Qin Chuan shook his head, "No, I still want to write novels. Don't say that I am relying on it to make a living. Even if I want to stop now, Life Herald and the Commercial Press will eat me up."
When it came to the novel, Qi Lanfeng suddenly showed a smile, "Kuanzi, this time we came to Shanghai to lurk, and the office only gave us 300,000 yuan. After figuring out the expenses required for the renovation, expansion and operation of the newspaper office and trading house, we have
There is no money left in the office. Even everyone’s salary must be kept in the office. During the incubation period, no salary can be received. The processing will be given to the family members designated by the incubator. You said, these people always have to eat. Every month they
We will always have to pay for it...
Also, in order to prevent someone from checking our accounts and discovering problems, we have to raise all the remaining funds ourselves. Our intelligence team alone has about a hundred people, and the telecommunications team is even more money-burning. In addition, there is also an operation
Group. This adds up to about 200 people, and the cost is a large amount every month. Brother is worried! You have to help brother with this."
In order to leave no trace of the latent plan, even funds were not allocated. It seems that Director Dai has definitely worked hard, but Qin Chuan has nothing to do. He can't use his own money to subsidize Qi Lanfeng and the others.

Qin Chuan spread his hands and said, "Old Qi, what does this have to do with me? You won't let me pay for the team, right?"
Qi Lanfeng said with a smile, "How can I ask you to pay? Lao Wang and I have already considered it. There must be a suitable reason for you to come to the newspaper office. As long as you can use our newspaper office to set up Lao Wang and his telecom group
Just make back the expenses. The expenses for the intelligence team and the action team will be settled by my trading house."
Qin Chuan said with a wry smile, "Not many people read news now, especially foreign news. This newspaper cannot make money."
