It was like the office buildings of later generations, with several companies in the same building. Of course, office buildings in later generations are relatively large, such as skyscrapers. The building they are looking at now covers a larger area and only has five floors, but the meaning is the same.
So Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang discovered this problem after investigating for a period of time. Judging from this, the suspicion in this place can basically be ruled out for the time being. Otherwise, with so many small factories and companies here, it would be too complicated. If the war arsenal of the Japanese and the puppet government was really here, it would be too unprofessional and they would have been discovered long ago.
Also, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang also passed through a community on the way. It was obviously built just a few years ago. It occupies a large area, but Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang walked around and found that the residents inside were obviously normal residents. In this case, the possibility of the Japanese and Manchukuo war reserves is almost non-existent.
In this way, the two of them arrived near the three connected factories an hour later. Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang directly started to act separately as agreed.
Fan Keqin arrived at the brick and tile factory with familiarity. As soon as he entered, he was told by the concierge how to get there. As a result, Fan Keqin felt that he was not in the right place.
What happened next was just like Fan Keqin's judgment. After finding the factory director here, he stated that he had a construction team to build a house, how many bricks and tiles were needed, what the price was, and what the approximate production capacity of your factory was. . Then, under the leadership of the other party, we also visited the inside of the factory.
Several kilns inside are burning, and there are many workers working inside, making bricks, transporting them back and forth, and so on. There were also eight or nine carriages loading bricks and tiles. It was obvious that the buyer was here to buy the goods. Plus the status of the workers inside and the level of alert. In Fan Keqin's mind, although he did not directly eliminate the suspicion of the other party, he also minimized it.
There is a saying that acting is a complete set. Fan Keqin was not in a hurry. He kept negotiating the price with the other party. After almost understanding the other party's bottom line, he chatted with the other party that he would be on Horvat Street next month and had a project to do. start up. If you can, there will be a big deal next month. I hope the other party will consider the price issue during this time.
In the end, of course, there was no contract signed, nor was there any promise to the other party to treat them to dinner. It was as if he had deliberately left as a business trick.
It just makes the other party think that they are still not satisfied with the price and so on, and that they have other choices. That's why. In this way, Fan Keqin's behavior becomes reasonable.
In fact, there are also such people in later generations. In the north, they are called "bin seams", seams of seams! In fact, the scientific name is speculation. It means that I have no business, neither a manufacturer of the goods nor a store to sell the goods. But if you run both ways, what you eat is the difference in price of the goods, and what you make is a small amount of money. This is what Fan Keqin is doing now.
How should I put it? In fact, this thing existed in ancient times. Even when later generations became so developed, people who speculated and made small fortunes were not completely eliminated.
In addition, these people are pretty good, because after all, they run both ways and can indeed allow both manufacturers and buyers to get real goods and money. They just want to get some money in the middle.
But there are some people who have even more evil intentions. After a few times, after the other party has gained trust, they will directly find an excuse. For example, you see we have cooperated so many times. Brother, I have been having difficulty with turnover recently. You have to pay the payment first this time, so you can do me a favor. Then, after the other party paid the money, he disappeared. He took the money and ran away, then moved to another place and continued the scam. This kind of person is a pure liar.
This is what Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang are doing now. Of course, they will definitely not really run away. After all, they are just using this as an excuse to cover up so that their investigation behavior becomes reasonable.
After coming out of the brick and tile factory, Fan Keqin was not in a hurry and waited for Hua Zhang two streets away from the appointment. He waited for more than half an hour. Hua Zhang had an extra bag in his hand and strolled over.
Fan Keqin was delighted when he saw this and said: "How is it?"
Hua Zhang smiled and said: "The textile manufacturer took me around and showed me their production capabilities. The other furniture factory was similar. Brother, take a look, here are some cloths, and One notebook shows furniture styles from a furniture factory."
After Fan Keqin took it, he opened it and looked at it. It was exactly as Hua Zhang said. Inside was a thick pile of small squares of cloth, held together by ropes. Each small square of fabric is different, obviously a sample from that manufacturer.
In addition, there is a notebook, which is not too thick and is about the same size as an ordinary large notebook. Fan Keqin flipped through it briefly, and found that it was all about furniture drawn with pens. Seats, benches, cabinets, beds, chests of drawers, coat racks, etc.
Fan Keqin smiled and said: "Okay, it's not for nothing, maybe I can actually make a small amount of money. In addition, it can basically eliminate a few key suspects."
"Yes." Hua Zhang said: "The most suspected one now is the prison. But it is also the most difficult to investigate."
"Yeah." Fan Keqin said: "Because of the special properties of the prison, their sentries and security levels are reasonable no matter how high they are. Maybe the Japanese and Manchukuo's war equipment depots are actually hidden there. In a prison.”
"Yes." Hua Zhang said: "There are prisoners inside. Even if they see it, it's useless. They can't get out. This is really a bit difficult to deal with."
After hearing this, Fan Keqin paused, thought for a moment, and said: "There are prisoners... there should be people visiting the prison. Can we... visit the prison."
Hua Zhang also thought for a while and said: "It's possible, but it's still difficult."
"Yes." Fan Keqin said: "There is a special place for prison visits, and there are time limits. Even if we can visit the prison, we cannot investigate other places in the prison. In addition, who we visit must be investigated in advance. You just have to be prepared and make good choices...it’s a bit more gain than loss.”
Hua Zhang said: "Otherwise, we can find a few observation points outside the prison. As long as the combat readiness depot is inside, the function of the combat readiness depot must be used. As long as the other party moves, for example, to transport combat readiness supplies, then we These vehicles can be used to form a basis for judgment."
