"Then it depends on how valuable the news provided by sir is?"
With a smile on his face, Morets Hadley waited for the other person to speak.
Jacob Bonnilla was not surprised by this. His purpose was not to make money from this matter. The purpose of doing this now is just to cover up others' eyes and prevent them from noticing that the intelligence department is involved.
"I have a copy of the CIA's action plan against its allies. Does such news appeal to you?"
If Jacopo Bonnilla was talking about the American CIA's action plan against the Soviet Union, Morets Hadley might have thought about it, but it turned out to be against his own allies. Does that mean that this will be the case? What a diplomatic scandal!
As for foreign intelligence agencies like the CIA, they have little deterrent effect on him at all, because the functions of this department are foreign intelligence collection, infiltration and subversion. There is no law enforcement power in the country at all.
Compared with the CIA, Americans are more worried about the FBI's investigation, but these are nothing to Morez Hadley. He has been dealing with the FBI for more than a day or two. Until now, the other party has not... What can you do to him?
"Haha... Of course I am interested, but such information may be valuable to intelligence agencies, but for a journalist like me, there is no way to give a high price. Are you sure you want to sell it to me?
You know, after you sold it to me, once the news was published, it would be worthless to the intelligence agency. "
Hearing this, Jacob Bonilla seemed to hesitate and said:
"But I don't know anyone in the intelligence agency, and I can't find a way to sell it! Is Mr. Hadley willing to introduce it to me?"
Hearing this, Morets Hadley quickly shook his head and said:
"How is this possible? I'm just a reporter, not an intelligence officer. Besides, they and I are competitors for the information you have. How can I introduce it to you?"
Jacopo Bonilla lowered his head and took a sip of coffee with a slight disappointment. He was silent for a while before saying:
"I want ten thousand dollars!"
Hearing this offer, Morez Hadley felt that the guy opposite him was crazy about money. Ten thousand yuan was an astronomical sum in this era, and he couldn't get it out even if he sold himself.
Therefore, he shook his head and rejected without hesitation:
"Are you crazy! Do you know what you are talking about? Ten thousand yuan, let alone me, even the wealthy New York Times would not be able to pay such a high fee.
What's more, they have no interest in your news at all. "
"Then tell me, how much are you willing to give?"
Now we have obviously entered the bargaining stage. Although Morez Hadley is willing to pay a big price for big news, it does not mean that he will not bargain.
Moreover, he also saw two problems from the other party's quotation. First, the other party was obviously a novice and was not familiar with the market price of the leaked information.
But the reason why the other party came up with this information to sell it was probably because they wanted to make a lot of money.
In this case, if you want to get the information from the other party at a suitable price, you must first lower the other party's expectations.
"I don't know if your news is hot enough, so I can only give you a hundred dollars at most."
Upon hearing this, of course Jacob Bonilla quit. If he really handed over the information to the other party at this price, the other party would doubt his intentions.
"How is it possible? Do you know how much risk I am taking by selling this information to you? If the price is this, I might as well not sell it!"
Hearing this, Moraits Hadley looked at the other party in surprise. He tried again:
"Then can I know which country this news is a CIA plan for?"
Jacopo Bonilla, who felt that if he didn't reveal anything, the other party might not be able to pay the price at all, gritted his teeth and said:
"Brazil!"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Moraits Hadley's expression showed a look of disgust and said:
"I thought that what you could provide was an action plan against big countries like Britain and France! It turned out that after a long time, it was aimed at Brazil. With news from such a third-rate country, you dared to ask for ten thousand US dollars. You must be thinking about money. crazy."
As soon as these words came out, Jacopo Bonilla felt unhappy. He already had a very bad impression of the United States. Now when he saw that an American reporter listed Brazil as a third-rate country, he felt deep in his heart. Even more dissatisfied. He directly retorted:
“Who says Brazil is a third-rate country? You must know that Brazil’s economic strength ranks eighth in the world, and it is the most important ally of the United States in South America.
Do you think it’s not big news to reveal the CIA’s plan to target Brazil at this time? "
Morez Hadley certainly knew that Brazil during this period was not the third-rate country he said, but one of the most important allies of the United States. After all, Europe has only slowly regained its strength after receiving a large amount of assistance in the past few years. . Brazil is a paradise on earth that was not affected by World War II at all.
Sure enough, with just a few tricks, he was able to extract very useful information from the opponent.
"Oh! It turns out that Mr. Bonnilla is Brazilian! So, you not only want to make money from me, but you also want to use my revelations to relieve your crisis in Brazil, right?
If that's the case, I think it's better if you send the message to me directly? "
Of course, Jacopo Bonnilla was not fooled into saying such things. You must know that he is a prosecutor and has to confront the other party's lawyer in court. How could he be easily tricked by a reporter!
In fact, this was originally part of his plan. From the beginning, the Brazilian Intelligence Agency did not expect to make this matter a big deal just by relying on an action report. Therefore, their plan is to let the Brazilian students who participated in this study discover the conspiracy of the training on their own, and then take the initiative to come forward and expose it.
This is also the reason why Jacob Bonnilla revealed his identity as a Brazilian to the other party. After all, nothing is more convincing than the personal statement of the person involved.
After the other party obtained his identity information, the idea of obtaining the information for free was not beyond their expectations. In fact, it was not impossible to give it to the other party directly.
But this will make the other party feel that they are being used, and they may not report it with all their heart. However, if a large amount of money is spent, this is completely different.
Not to mention recovering the cost, at least the money must not be wasted.
Therefore, after hearing what the other party said, Jacob Bonilla got up and left without hesitation.
Morets Hadley obviously did not expect Jacopo Bonnilla's reaction to be so violent. It seems that the other party is different from what I imagined! He is not as patriotic as he thought.
Seeing that the other party stood up and left without hesitation, Morez Hadley was not in a hurry. He thought that the other party was a bargaining method, so he did not stand up to stop him. I just want to see when the other person will stop or look back.
But what happened was obviously beyond his expectation. The other party had no intention of stopping at all. He walked out of the cafe directly, waved to a taxi and drove away without looking back.
This made Mauletz Hadley very anxious. This was just a bargaining method for everyone! If you are not satisfied, you can continue talking! Why did you just give up and leave!
He rushed out of the cafe and wanted to catch up with him, but as soon as he left the door, he was stopped by the waiter of the cafe.
"Sir, you haven't paid for your coffee yet!"
Hearing this, Morez Hadley was speechless for a while. He stretched out his hand and took out a two-dollar bill, threw it to the other party, stopped a taxi on the roadside and chased after him.
In the United States at this time, there were already a lot of vehicles on the road, so the taxi that Jacob Bonnilla took did not travel very fast. Although Morets Hadley was delayed a little time, he did not lose track of the opponent.
The vehicle followed the other party around many twists and turns, and finally arrived at the offices of the Washington Post. Seeing Jacopo Bonilla get out of the car, Morets Hadley still didn't understand the other person's plan.
At this time, how could he let this big news pass him by! Therefore, he stuck his head out of the window from a distance and shouted:
"Mr. Bonnilla, please wait a moment. Let's talk some more. Let's talk some more."
Jacob Bonnilla had long noticed that the other party was chasing him, otherwise he would not have deliberately slowed down the taxi to give the other party a chance to catch up with him.
After hearing the shouting behind him, he looked up and around in confusion, as if wondering if someone was calling him.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Moraits Hadley could only smile bitterly, hurriedly paid the taxi fare, and quickly ran to Jacopo Bonilla.
Jacob Bonnilla waited until Morets Hadley ran in front of him, then said with a dissatisfied expression:
"It's Mr. Hadley. What do you mean?"
"Mr. Bonnilla, don't be angry. I accidentally said the wrong thing. Can you please give me another chance?"
Morets Hadley held Jacob Bonnilla's hand and said apologetically.
Seeing the groveling look on the other party's face, Jacob Bonnilla understood that he had taken the initiative this time. After thinking about it, he looked up at the offices of the Washington Post not far away. Somewhat bluntly:
"Mr. Hadley wants to have sex for free, what else can we talk about?"
Hearing this, the embarrassment on Morez Hadley's face flashed away, and he immediately said with a smile on his face:
"Haha... Mr. Bonnilla, please calm down. It's because I'm ignorant. It's getting late now. How about we find a hotel nearby and I'll treat you to a casual meal?"
After saying that, without waiting for Jacob Bonilla to refuse, he put his arm around his shoulders and pulled him aside.
Jacopo Bonnilla was not originally looking for the Washington Post, but acting requires a full set of performances, so of course he has to control the other person. After a few more rounds of pulling with each other, he pretended to be helpless and was dragged into a hotel not far away.
After entering the restaurant, Jacob Bonilla didn't say a word, just waiting for Morez Hadley to order and say good things. After the dishes were served, Hadley couldn't wait to speak:
"Mr. Bonnilla, what do you think of me offering you a thousand dollars?"
Hearing this, Jacob Bonnilla couldn't help but frown slightly. One thousand dollars was indeed a large amount of money. But since the other party has already followed here, of course he can't just let go.
"It can't be less than five thousand, or I will go to the Washington Post to expose the news."
Morets Hadley also said with a sincere look:
"Mr. Bonnilla, you have to understand that newspapers like the Washington Post will not publish this kind of news that will obviously damage the reputation of the United States.
If you reveal this information to them, they might sell you to the FBI, and not only will you not get a penny, but you will probably be sent to jail. "
Jacopo Bonilla believed this, otherwise, the Intelligence Bureau would not have let him find this freelance writer in the first place.
"Then you can't?"
Although his words sounded a little wary, they also revealed his inner uneasiness, so Moraits Hadley immediately seized the opportunity and said:
"Of course I won't. I don't belong to any newspaper and am a freelance writer. My press releases can be published not only in American newspapers, but also in British and French newspapers.
So, I'm not afraid of them at all. I won't betray you. "
After hearing Hadley's words, Jacob Bonnilla would certainly be a little nervous. According to the plan, he would reveal the news to the reporter in front of him. As for where he would publish it, he didn't know. .
But their purpose is also very clear. As long as this news can be reported in the newspaper, he will not need to participate in the next follow-up plan at all. What he has to do is to find a way to hide in Brazil after self-destruction before the Americans catch him. embassy.
Of course Hadley noticed Jacob Bonilla's hesitation and nervousness. He did not hesitate to strike while the iron was hot:
"Two thousand dollars, this is the highest price. If you still don't agree, then I have no choice but to give up."
To say that he has given up, that would definitely be a lie, but Jacopo Bonnilla also understands that it is almost over now and it is time to give up as soon as possible.
He gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind and said:
"Okay! Two thousand is two thousand."
Hadley was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly:
"If that's the case, then tell me in detail the specific content of your news. You must have real evidence. I won't pay a penny just for the news.
My money is only used to buy evidence. "
Of course Jacob Bonilla understood this, and he no longer hesitated to tell everything he knew.
Hadley digested it for a while, then slowly said with a surprised look on his face:
"Is there any actual evidence for what you said?"
"Of course there is evidence. I am one of the prosecutors who participated in this study. I have already investigated the identities of several American members in our club. They are CIA people. I have relevant photo information in my hand. .”
"I believe what you said, but these alone are not enough. I may need to go to your club meeting to take some more complete photos."
"I can only tell you when and where our event will be held. If you want to take pictures again, you can only rely on your own ability."
"make a deal!"
In this way, Jacob Bonnilla exposed the US CIA's prosecutor's plan in advance by self-destructing.
In the next two days, he still actively participated in the association's rallies. It was not until he received Hadley's notice that he hurried to the Brazilian Embassy in the United States for help.
