Chapter 574: Tough Harry
At the intersection of Jing'an Temple, Queen's Cafe.
Chen Miao sent Liang Xueqin to the "Fan Wenzhao" Architectural Design Office to discuss the matter, so he brought Xiaoqi over and made an appointment with Harry at 2:30.
When I came here, I agreed to meet again and there were still four or five minutes apart.
"Sir, what are you drinking?"
"A cup of latte, and also, I'll give me a seasonal fruit platter, thank you." Chen Miao picked up the "Liangyou" painting magazine on the table and started to read it casually.
"Okay, sir, please wait." The waiter bent down slightly, agreed, and turned around and left.
The coffee and fruit tray were delivered soon.
Chen Miao picked up the coffee, took a sip, and then took a piece of pineapple from Taiwan with a bamboo stick. If there were no troublesome trivial matters, it would be a very relaxing afternoon.
About ten minutes passed.
Harry hasn't appeared yet.
Chen Miao frowned slightly. The Germans are famous for being rigorous, and Harry is also a very punctual person. This has never happened before.
However, anyone may encounter urgent matters. Sometimes things happen without being diverted by human will. Maybe it may be if he encounters any trouble.
Chen Miao decided to wait for another ten minutes.
Ten minutes passed, Chen Miao had already finished drinking this cup of coffee and ate half of the fruit in the fruit plate, but Harry had not appeared yet.
He put down his paintings and began to think about whether he should continue to wait, because a quarter of an hour had passed since the agreed time.
In the cognition of intelligence agents, the concept of time is absolutely first. If it is a joint, it must be on time.
It cannot be early or late for a minute.
After some thought, Chen Miao decided to stay for another ten minutes. He called the waiter and renewed the cup for himself. If Harry did not show up in ten minutes, he would plan to leave and go to the cafe to go to the "Fan Wenzhao" architectural design office to pick up Liang Xueqin.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the cup of coffee that had just been placed in front of Chen Miao was getting colder little by little, but he never touched the cup again.
If Harry doesn't come today, he must consider responding. He believes that there is sincere friendship between people, but this friendship is often vulnerable to interests, especially in the face of national interests.
Compared to Ye Yaoxin, he is still one level behind, and this level cannot be compensated, because Ye Yaoxin is Lin Shiqun's brother-in-law.
Moreover, Lin Shiqun has a much deeper relationship with the Japanese than him, although the tungsten ore business has a relationship with Sakurako Ikenai.
But behind Lin Shiqun is Mei Ji, Kyosaki, and Kurihara.
The Mei agency chaired by Kosalou Kurihara is the Supreme Emperor of the Wang Puppet regime in Nanjing. All policies in Nanjing must be approved by the Mei agency before they can be implemented.
The acting chairman of the Wang family is afraid that he is even worse than the emperor of the puppet Manchukuo.
If Lin Shiqun acquiesced the whole thing, the problem would be serious. He could not be loyal to Lin Shiqun. Sometimes, based on this situation, he could not accidentally think about it.
"Sir, your coffee is cold. Do you need to change it for you?" The waiter saw that Chen Miao hadn't drunk the coffee in the cup for a long time, walked over and asked in a low voice.
"Oh, no need." Chen Miao waved his hand slightly and signaled.
"If you need anything, call me any time." The waiter smiled slightly.
Just because of this service attitude, Chen Miao felt that he would have to pay an extra tip when he checked out later.
Chen Miao decided to sit for a while and leave because he had wasted almost half of it here and disappeared. If Harry did not show up again, he would not have shown up today.
Just as Chen Miao took out the money and pressed it under the fruit pot and was about to get up and leave, he suddenly caught a familiar figure in a gray plaid suit flashing past.
Harry pushed open the door and came in from outside, sweating profusely.
"Oh, dear Sanshui, you're still here, it's so good." Harry's face turned red when he saw Chen Miao, which was almost the same as seeing his beloved girl.
"Harry, you were half an hour late today." Chen Miao raised his hand and looked at his watch, "If you don't come again, I'm leaving."
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. I'm delayed and I'm dragged away." Harry said apologetically.
"Sit down, drink something?"
"Give me a cup of salt soda, I'm thirsty." Harry arrived.
There are salt sodas in the cafe, but it is made in Shanghai. It tastes pretty good. It is iced in summer and it is very quenching to drink a cup.
It's just not suitable for Chen Miao now.
Chen Miao waved his hand and called the waiter to ask Harry for a bottle of salt soda.
"Harry, are you doing a tungsten ore transaction with someone?" Chen Miao asked.
"Oh, Sanshui, how did you know..." Harry almost choked with a mouthful of salt soda, his face turned redder than when he came in just now.
"I'm right?"
"Sanshui, listen to my explanation..."
Chen Miao reached out and interrupted Harry's words: "I know that the amount of tungsten ore you need is very large. I can't meet your needs alone. I can understand that if you find other buyers, I can even accept it. However, the tungsten ore you can get at low prices. However, the tungsten ore in your company you cooperate with originally belonged to me."
"What, Sanshui, what did you say? Their tungsten ore is yours?" Harry's eyes widened in shock.
Chen Miao had no expression on his face, and he was not stupid. When the Germans talked to Ye Yaoxin about this business, it was impossible for them to not do any investigation. They probably knew that the ship of tungsten ore belonged to him, but they just pretended not to know.
This matter has nothing to do with the Germans. They are just buyers, so who can't buy tungsten ore? As long as that guy doesn't lack weight.
Moreover, Ye Yaoxin’s goods are cheaper, right?
"Harry, I will definitely get my goods back. If you insist on trading with them, you won't have to cooperate in the future. I promise you will never be able to buy a piece of tungsten ore." Chen Miao said.
"That's nothing to talk about?" Harry asked.
"I know that the power behind this person is not weak, and he is even stronger than me in some aspects, but I don't care. If I don't do this business, I can do other things. Harry, we are friends. If you insist on doing this, then we have nothing to talk about." Chen Miao said.
"Sanshui, you also said that you cannot provide the tungsten ore we need. I have another channel and I will never let it go. I don't care where his tungsten ore comes from." Harry's face also changed, and his attitude was extremely tough.
"That's nothing to talk about?"
"Sorry." Harry stood up, tied the buttons on the suit, and left without looking back.
Chen Miao's eyes shrank slightly, and he reached out to take out a banknote from his pocket, pressed it under the bottle of the salt soda that Harry had drank, and then stood up and left.
...
The night is as cool as water, and breeze blows on the Huangpu River, bringing a fishy smell.
Tungsten ore is a strategic prohibited material, which is explicitly prohibited by the Japanese, but as long as someone clears the relationship or someone asks you, the customs inspection will turn a blind eye.
In broad daylight, unloading is inconvenient, so you can only load tungsten ore onto a barge at night, and then transport it to an ocean freighter by barge.
The flags of neutral countries that were hung by ocean freighters were generally not investigated. The Germans used this method to transport several ships of tungsten ore away.
Of course, after the Special High School greeted Mei, the Japanese Navy anti-smuggling ship naturally turned a blind eye.
On the abandoned pier, there are shadows.
"Everyone hurry up, move it quickly, and you will load the goods on the ocean freighter later..."
Three barges docked at the dock, brought the tungsten ore stored in the dock warehouse onto the ship, and then sailed to the Australian ocean freighter in the center of the river.
The freighter has a deep draft and cannot dock. He can only transport goods in this way.
In addition, after the freighter is filled with cargo, the draft will be deeper. If it stops at the riverside wharf, it may be stranded directly, which will be even more troublesome.
"Chief Wu, when will we start?"
Wang Peiwen, who was directing the handling of tungsten ore, and the workers at the dock did not know that they had been closely monitored and surrounded by people near the dock and warehouse.
The person who spoke was Hao Ren, the Inspector of the Filing Catchment Room. He had been promoted from the Betton Road Police Station to the General Catchment Room.
"No hurry, wait until they hit all the tungsten ore on the barge, we will attack again. Then we will drive the barge away directly." The person who answered him was Wu Tianlin.
"Okay, then let's wait." Hao Ren smiled. He has now been deeply bound to Chen Miao. His current position was also obtained by Chen Miao to help him operate. If Chen Miao is in power, he will inevitably benefit in the future. He cannot rely on the Japanese, but Director Chen's big legs can still be hugged.
Every time I do things, his benefits are indispensable, and my own parents are not as good as those.
Lying in the grass on the river bank, the waiting was torment. In fact, it was not just on the shore, but in the water. Yang Chen led a group of people, all wearing water, biting Lu Wei tube in his mouth, slowly approaching the barge in the water!
“Hurry up, hurry up…”
When we arrived on the freighter, there was hoisting equipment, so we didn’t need to work hard to fight upwards. There was nothing we could do about this. Who made this a small wharf?
Seeing the last box of tungsten ore loaded onto the barge, Wang Peiwen finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered the workers to remove the springboard of the barge and the shore dock.
Just as he was about to step on one of the barges.
A beam of strong light shot straight from a distance behind him, shaking him so hard that he stretched out his arms to block it.
"Don't move, move, beat you to death..."
"Wu Tianlin..." Wang Peiwen was so scared that he turned around and was about to run to the barge, but what he never expected was that on the barge, a man smiled at him and reached out to pull off the only springboard.
There is a "pop" sound!
Wang Peiwen fell into the water without any suspense.
"Save, save me, I can't water..." The shouts came from the river below the barge. Wang Peiwen, who fell into the water, slapped the water surface desperately, but his body couldn't help but sink.
Chapter completed!
