This is different from what Yang Yi thought, but commercial spies are also spies, and Yang Yi has no choice.

"Of course, sir, I look forward to your teaching."

John Jones took a deep breath, and then he smiled and said, "Very good, now I'll explain what we do. First of all, my team has a principle, which is to be free of violence and only accept orders that can be effective and rewarded in the short term."

Yang Yi was paying attention to supporting every word John Jones said because he knew how valuable these words were.

Every word John Jones said was his most core secret, but now John Jones began to tell him everything.

"As spies, especially a commercial spy without a national background, we naturally cannot get instructions from the country or superiors. We are highly free in this regard, but we also have to be responsible for every decision we make, so as a leader you must be cautious.

Usually when I decide whether to take the next order, or a reward, or a task, I usually consider it based on several aspects. First, evaluate the risk, then see if the profit is worthy of the risk to take, and finally, consider the credibility of the employer or the task publisher, which is very important.

If all three elements meet my requirements, I will accept the order, and if there is an assessment that does not reach the minimum I need, I will not take the task."

Looking at Yang Yi nodding, John Jones smiled and said, "You may have to ask, how did we receive the mission? This is the core secret of most free spies, but to put it bluntly, there are several very powerful intelligence providers who have built their own intelligence trading platforms, which is like shopping websites, where people sell things and some buy things, and my partner is an intelligence group built by the Cicero family. It does not belong to any country, but has strong strength."

John Jones stopped talking, he looked at Yang Yi and waited for Yang Yi to ask questions.

Yang Yi really needs to ask a question: "Mr. Jones, what is a free spy."

"The so-called free spy, well, you must have heard of freelancers, freelancers, freelance photographers, do you understand these terms?"

"Understand."

"It's the same. No matter what you sell, whoever bids higher will sell it to whom. But unfortunately, it's often thank God for being able to sell it. So although a few of these free people are doing well, most of them are at the bottom."

Yang Yi nodded and said, "I understand, so what's going on with the release of the mission? It's also a need for intelligence to be published on the website, and then someone will sell it when they get it. Also, after receiving the reward, can't others see the information they released?"

John Jones shook his head and said, "Let me explain to you that spies can get access to state-of-the-art things, but spies prefer traditional and reliable things, and the same way of trading is the same. The Internet is a good thing, but I don't like it because there are no secrets on the Internet, so the mission is not posted from the website at all."

Yang Yi nodded sincerely, because he remembered what Li Fan did to him, so he agreed with John Jones's point of view.

"Of course, the Internet is really very convenient, so now some people have begun to try to use the Internet to publish tasks, but I will never put my life on the Internet. For example, the Cicero family occasionally publishes some intelligence tasks on their own dark web, but these are the lowest-level tasks and are an exploration of the Cicero family for the Internet age. However, if it is a particularly important, dangerous, and sensitive task, they will never post it online for spies all over the world to see it."

Yang Yi raised his hand and whispered: "What's going on with the Cicero family? Can you explain it?"

"Looking back, I will tell you slowly that now you only need to know that the Cicero family is the largest intelligence intermediary. This family has built a huge and complete intelligence network. Even several major powers in the world often need to transmit and obtain intelligence through the Cicero family's intelligence network. This is why the Cicero family can maintain it to this day."

"I see."

"I will continue to explain to you that, generally speaking, if a company wants to know the secrets of its competitors, they will ask the Cicero family intelligence agent, saying that they are willing to pay a million pounds to buy the bidding plan of the rival company, and the Cicero family intelligence agent will choose a team he thinks is suitable for the quote. For example, if we think the offer is appropriate and the risk is not high, then we will take on the task and get the money after the task is completed successfully. By the way, there is no need to worry about their credibility and payment ability when dealing with the Cicero family. The name of the Cicero family is guaranteed."

"What if the task is not completed?"

"If you fail to complete the task? You won't get the money, but this is not the most important thing. What is important is that you will lose your position in the intelligence system of the Cicero family, which will lead to you not getting the task in the future. Of course, failure is inevitable. Anyone may encounter failure, but the biggest factor that determines the status of a team is the success rate. Conversely, success rate is the basis for whether a team can survive."

Yang Yi sighed and said, "I understand, that is, our lifeline is in the hands of the Cicero family. He decided to make money if he worked for him."

"That's it, but the Cicero family is one of my channels for taking on tasks. For some spy teams, intelligence agencies are their only source of missions, but not for me, because I have my own long-term partners. If my regular customers have any tasks, they will directly contact me so that we can negotiate the price by ourselves, but if we negotiate the transaction ourselves, you have to take some risks, such as the customer's ability to pay."

John Jones explained in detail. Yang Yi thought about it and whispered: "So how to contact the Cicero family? Oh, you don't have to answer this question, sorry."

John Jones waved his hand and said, "Since I want to teach you, I will tell you everything."

Yang Yi said sincerely: "Thank you."

"No spy likes that too many people know their identity, so we try to contact one line. I will only trade with one contact person, but what if something happens to the only contact person or even dies, it is easy to solve, because of the special identity and status of the Cicero family group, they will have a senior person's identity that is public. You just need to find this senior person and tell him your code name, and he will give you a new contact person, and then everything will be the same as before."

Yang Yi exhaled and said, "So a code name with a high success rate is very important, because it determines whether you can receive the task."

John Jones smiled and said, "Of course, I have been managing my own code name all my life, and my greatest achievement in my life is the code name with the highest success rate in a commercial spy. It's time to tell you that the code name of my team and I are called Singer."

Yang Yi now understands why his father chose John Jones, because even though eleven years have passed, this person is still willing to help him.

Yang Yi was very grateful to John Jones, but at the same time, he was also thinking how toxic his father's vision should be, and he actually had the ability to see through people's hearts.

"Singer?"

"Yes, singers, the commercial spy with the highest success rate, in London, if anyone wants to obtain any trade secrets, then singers are the first choice."

Yang Yi's views are often different from others, so he is not concerned about how glorious the industry's number one commercial spy is.

"How do you know the success rate of your peers and thus know that you are the number one?"

John Jones smiled and said, "I don't know the success rate of my peers. This is the secret of the Cicero family, but I know that my success rate is 100%. So, can anyone have a higher success rate than me?"

Yang Yi immediately realized and nodded, "A 100% success rate is of course the number one, at least tied for first place."

John Jones nodded and said, "About how a careful commercial espionage organization operates, you will be able to see in the future. How to lead a spy organization is not very complicated. You just need to remember one thing, be cautious, be cautious, and be more cautious."

Yang Yi exhaled and said, "Thank you for your teachings, so when can I do something specifically?"

John Jones spread his hands and said, "Go outside and be your administrative assistant. Oh, I would like to remind you, please change the suit you have. It's too expensive and it's not something an administrative assistant should wear. In addition, please buy a pair of leather shoes that match the formal outfit you are wearing."

The suit he wore was bought by him for tens of thousands of yuan by credit card, which was a very good dress. His plan to buy leather shoes was defeated, so his leather shoes were only bought for a few hundred yuan.

Yang Yi thought it was nothing to match like this, but he didn't expect that John Jones could still see it.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes, but I still want to know when I can really participate in the spy business, and I can't wait."

John Jones smiled and said, "It depends on your luck, maybe tomorrow or next year, because tasks are not available at all times. When there is no work to do, you can only play the role of an intern accountant. By the way, we told you that our last task was eight months ago."

Yang Yi was very disappointed. He thought he could do some spy work when he came. Unexpectedly, he didn't know how long he would have to wait for the real thing to get involved in spies.

But at this moment, John Jones's phone rang.

After picking up the phone, John Jones looked surprised, and then he answered the phone. After chatting about the weather and diet very casually, John Jones hung up the phone and said to Yang Yi with a smile: "I really don't know if it's your luck or my luck. You don't know anything, but you actually encountered a big task."

Yang Yi opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Is there a mission?"

John Jones nodded and smiled, "Yes, there is a task."
