Chunming Photo Studio, in the basement.
Shuichiro Hirakawa was fully clothed and lying flat on a simple camp bed. Since the last phone hack, he heard a call from a woman from the Madier Hotel to the Consulate General of Soviet Russia.
These days, phone tapping basically yields nothing, and the lines they secretly connected were also discovered by the Soviet Union.
This almost caused a diplomatic dispute.
They could only change the location of the stolen line and continue to listen to the other party's phone calls. Anyway, if you catch this kind of thing, it will stop for a while and then come back again.
This kind of eavesdropping is difficult to hear the real secrets, and can only grasp the living habits and voice characteristics of some embassy and consulate personnel.
Of course, this is also intelligence.
If the other party has a dike, it will naturally not give you another chance. Therefore, the monitoring these days is of little value, and Shuichiro Hirakawa can't help but feel a little slack.
This job is quite boring. Being in such a small space all day is like going to jail.
It definitely won't work for a long time, so every once in a while, he will go out to relax. The time to relax is precious, delicious sushi, sashimi, especially the young woman's white body. Every time he goes out, he doesn't want to come back. .
"Hirakawa-kun, Hirakawa-kun..." In a daze, Hirakawa Shuichiro heard a hurried voice, which seemed to be his assistant Mitani.
Shuichiro Hirakawa jumped up: "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Electricity, phone..." San Gu was nervous and stuttered.
"Baga, what's the phone number? Mitani, please tell me more clearly!" Shuichiro Hirakawa's eyes widened and he immediately cursed.
"I just monitored a phone call. It was from the Yamato Hotel to the Soviet Consulate. It was a woman. The person who answered the phone was Arman..."
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!" Shuichiro Hirakawa pushed Mitani and rushed out.
"Is it that voice from before?"
"It doesn't really look like it, but the voice before was a bit shrill, and this one is a bit thicker, and the speaking speed is also much slower than the first one?"
"Do a voice comparison and analysis immediately to see if it's the same person!" Shuichiro Hirakawa ordered after hearing this.
The last call was made from the Madier Hotel, but this time it was changed to the Yamato Hotel. The last time the call was made, it was a false alarm.
Ling Kawai, Section Chief, jumped in vain, but naturally became furious. He was also affected. Not only did he not make any meritorious service, but he was scolded.
If it happens again this time and fails again, it will not be as simple as being scolded.
"Sir Hirakawa, Arman's car just drove out from the back door of the consulate..." When Shuichiro Hirakawa hesitated, someone from above reported to him.
"Give me the phone number of Chief Shibuya." Shuichiro Hirakawa thought for a moment and immediately ordered.
"Hai!"
…
After dinner, Zhou Sen did not go back to rest immediately. Although he had to lie down and rest within these three days, it was not necessary to lie down all the time.
There is no problem in standing up or sitting upright for a short time. As long as time is not enough, the time will be gradually extended in the future.
After a week, there is almost no need to lie in bed all day long. Of course, large movements and strenuous exercise are not allowed.
"We must make preparations on both sides. Although our goal is a new stage, we cannot put all our eggs in the same basket."
"We only have this little money, can't we bear the trouble?" Bai Yulan said.
"Although winning a new stage is the first choice, if we really have no alternative, we will be passive." Zhou Sen said, "There are so many stages in Ice City. Are there any that are not managed well enough that we can take advantage of them?"
"The operating condition of the Tongle Stage on Zhengyang Toudao Street is relatively poor. I had the idea of selling it years ago. But such a stage, including the land, building and intangible assets, cannot be bought for less than 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. .”
"If we do it now, how much money can we get at most?"
"At least 400,000, otherwise the boss of Tongle Stage will not take action." Bai Yulan thought for a moment and said.
"Then buy it!" Zhou Sen said.
"If we buy it, will we have enough money?"
"Putting money in safes and banks will depreciate day by day. It's better to spend it. We bought the Tongle Stage. If we can't get the new stage, then at least we still have a stage. As long as Xiao Rou and her team It's okay to sign it over. If we can win the new stage, we will have two stages in our hands and adopt a differentiated management approach. The Tongle stage can focus on cross talk, burlesque, magic, and even acrobatics, while the new stage will mainly Mainly opera, including Peking Opera, Pingju Opera, Huangmei Opera and even drama..."
"This sounds feasible. After our teahouse opens, we can also introduce cross talk and Pingtan. In this way, we can support several theater troupes ourselves and sign deep binding agreements." Bai Yulan said.
"I will negotiate for this entertainment stage and buy it in the name of Senji Company." Zhou Sen said, "Don't make anything public."
"I'm afraid it's difficult to keep it secret, right?"
"It all depends on people." Zhou Sen said, "But I don't know the owner of Tongle Stage. I need an introducer. This person can't be you. Do you have anyone familiar with him?"
"Boss Yang of Tongle Stage has a daughter whose husband is the section chief of the Education Department of the City Hall. This man used to be a frequent visitor to Ningxiang Hall. I know him. He is also a libertine. If I go through him, But we can meet Boss Yang on the Toilet Stage." Bai Yulan said.
"Then what are boss Yang's hobbies and who are the people in his family?" Zhou Sen asked. These must be clarified in order to prescribe the right medicine.
"In addition to the entertainment stage, Boss Yang also owns a restaurant, a wine shop and other industries. He has a lot of assets in Bingcheng. He married two wives. The first wife died young and he has a son and a daughter. His second wife is probably a famous actress in Bingcheng. She hasn’t been on stage much since they got married. She gave birth to a son who just turned ten. In addition, he is not a local and came to Bingcheng to buy property more than ten years ago. There is no foundation in the local area. It was he who paid for the opening of the Toilet Stage for the wife who was remarried. Unfortunately, it has no special features in terms of operation and cannot compete with other stages. It can only barely survive. "
"Does this entertainment stage also support the old people from the troupe who used to follow Mrs. Yang?" Zhou Sen asked.
"how do you know?"
"If it weren't for this group of old people, the fun stage would have been taken action long ago." Bai Yulan said.
"If I can keep these old people and give them a guarantee, it shouldn't be a problem to win the fun stage, right?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Yes, there were indeed some people who wanted to buy the Toile Stage and expand their business. However, Boss Yang made a request. It was okay to buy the Toile Stage, but these people must also be bought, and they must also sign an indefinite employment contract. The agreement and the result, of course, no one wants it.”
"Whoever buys the stage would be willing to keep the old man. He would rather pay a sum of money than sign such an agreement."
"yes."
"What kind of troupe is Mrs. Yang?"
"It seems to focus on Ping Opera, but also sings some other types of music. Mrs. Yang is also famous in Bingcheng." Bai Yulan said.
"This is a match made in heaven." Zhou Sen chuckled.
"Don't you want Sister Xiaorou to go out and work alone? This is a taboo in the Liyuan industry!"
"Of course not. If Sun Qingkui recognizes the situation and takes the initiative to abdicate in favor of a worthy person, then the two families will be merged into one. If he refuses, then don't blame me for being rude. Whether it is taking him down or Xiaorou taking people away, for us , all the same.”
"You really hold a grudge, it's been so many years." Bai Yulan said helplessly.
"If Xiaorou continues to stay under Sun Qingkui, he will destroy him sooner or later. I can't just watch the tragedy happen." Zhou Sen said.
"You encouraged me to acquire a new stage for Xiaorou's sake, right?"
"You can achieve multiple goals with one stone. It has not only found an investment direction for our idle funds, but also helped our family. It is also related to our tea house business. You also understand this industry and can help you stabilize your current position in the world. You What do you mean?" Zhou Sen chuckled.
Bai Yulan nodded. Zhou Sen was right. This did serve multiple purposes. It not only helped her solve the problem, but also gave Xiaorou a powerful backing. By the way, it also reported that she almost starved to death as a child. of hatred.
He also took advantage of Su Wenqing and pulled Qin Lang on board.
Who could have imagined such a layout? Even Bai Yulan just followed his train of thought and understood step by step what he wanted to do.
Although this lazy guy talks a little nonsense, his thoughts are so careful and he is full of wits.
I think this is like picking up a treasure.
"This matter cannot be delayed. I will go see Boss Yang tomorrow to finalize the matter." Zhou Sen said.
"You're still injured so you can't go out..."
"It's okay. I'm just going to talk about something. Just lie down on the carriage." Zhou Sen said, "It won't take too long."
"You can go, but you must bring Axiang with you." Bai Yulan said.
"Okay." Zhou Sen nodded, "But while I'm talking about something, she can't follow me and be recognized, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you back to rest." Bai Yulan stood up and said.
"It's only what time it is. It's a little early to go back to bed now..."
"I'm going to sleep..."
"All right."
…
"I protest. I am the deputy consul general of Soviet Russia in Ice City. I am a diplomat and protected by international law. I went out at night to have a meal with friends and talk about some personal matters. You just barged in like this. This is You are invading my privacy, and I want your commander to issue a stern protest!" Arman was extremely angry!
It almost came out in a roar.
He pretends to be very similar, and his acting skills are at their peak, making him look like an old "Cheka".
Major Kawai had an embarrassed look on his face. He rushed in with his men and wanted to catch someone. When he came in, Arman was indeed with a young Russian woman, but their clothes were intact, and there was nothing like what they imagined. occur.
Also, they searched every corner of the room and found no evidence related to "intelligence" work.
Under such circumstances, even if Kawai wanted to take away the Russian girl, he could not do it, because Arman would not agree, and the Russian girl was also a staff member of the Soviet consulate and had diplomatic immunity.
As a result, Major Kawai Sadayoshi was embarrassed.
Given the current sensitivity of the relationship between Soviet Russia and Japan, he will definitely be in trouble this time.
"I'm going to hold a press conference to accuse the whole world of your unreasonable behavior!"
Kawai Nobuyoshi's legs went weak, he had taken the blame.
