Knight of the Light

In peacetime, commercial spies are more common, and even more important, than military spies.

The spies aren't handsome James Bond. They often look ordinary, are commercial agents of a large company in the place of sale, or are publicly operated consulting agencies.

There are many ways to collect intelligence, but more than 90% of the information is actually obtained from the public domain.

Because real-world intelligence is often hidden.

For example, at the beginning of the founding of the PRC, the domestic oil gap reached 60%. The bus does not burn oil but burns gas. A huge gas bag is required on the roof of the bus.

In the 1960s, gas bags suddenly disappeared.

The Japanese responded the fastest. They gathered intelligence everywhere, such as following the iron man Wang Jinxi on the cover of China Pictorial for 66 years.

From the winter clothes and dogskin hat worn by Wang Jinxi, it can be concluded that the oil field is in the northeast. From the text narrative in the report, the approximate oil field location can be judged.

The diameter of the oil well was inferred from the handle held in Wang Jinxi's photo. The size of the oilfield is inferred based on the spacing of the wells in the background.

From the comparison of the refining reaction tower and the fence, the diameter of the reaction tower is inferred, and then the refining capacity and oil field production are known. Further know that the domestic refining capacity is insufficient.

When the Ministry of Petroleum Industry of China began to bid for petroleum refining equipment abroad, the Japanese were most prepared.

Other suppliers did not know how to deal with the bidding. Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries analyzed a large amount of information through public information and provided the most suitable equipment solution, which won the bid in one fell swoop.

These are all commercial information obtained through public collection. You don't need to use any secret means to know it.

In fact, most leaks are also reported by the public media.

Zhou Qingfeng provided imperial factories and scientific research institutes with embargoed machine tools and electronic devices. Foreign trade agents doing business in imperial capital responded most sensitively.

After all, there are cheaper good goods, and no one wants to spend more money. Foreign devils or two devils usually sell some rotten things, and each time the deal seems to be rewarding, it makes people sick.

Anderson Qin, who works for adi, is about to sell a batch of eight-bit analog-to-digital converter chips to the electronic import and export company with the prefix "中".

But business negotiations lasted for several months, and the bureaucracy on the 'China' prefix suddenly hardened. Anderson Qin didn't wait for the negotiators of the import and export company to talk to the other party the next day.

Domestic bureaucrats directly asked: "Can you adi sell 16-bit high-speed broadband analog-to-digital conversion chips?"

Don't joke, the twelve-digit analog-to-digital converter chips are on the embargo list, and the ten-digit ones are export ceilings. Buying eight people all depends on Qin Hao's mood. If the mood is bad, raise the price.

The bureaucrats in China actually want 16 people. Where do you feel?

The 16-bit analog-to-digital conversion chip is used for fighters or satellites, or for cutting-edge radar and radio. Never export from abroad, domestic must obtain a small amount through underground channels.

Anderson Qin flatly refused. In the end, the caller hung up just a few times.

Is there such a reason? !!

Usually, domestic bureaucrats are asking for it, and today the situation has reversed.

Qin Hao tried to wait for his negotiating opponent to change his mind. But the other side unexpectedly kicked him out, and there was no intention to contact him at all.

By this time, the fool knew that something was wrong.

With regard to making money, Qin Hao immediately informed the US headquarters of the relevant situation. But headquarters didn't care much about it.

Due to the embargo and the low level of application in China, the procurement has always been low-end products, and the quantity is very small. To put it plainly, the market is limited and cannot be taken seriously.

But the headquarters did not pay much attention. As a banana man, Qin Hao couldn't help paying attention.

This has something to do with his rice bowl, his paid vacations over a year and months, and whether he can go to Sanlitun every night to enjoy an emperor-like life.

Adi headquarters only let Qin Hao investigate by himself, but did not give much help. What Qin Hao can do is collect information everywhere, trying to figure out what's wrong with electronics in China.

Technology breakthrough?

impossible.

Science and technology is not an air tower, and even the simplest capacitors and resistors in China are not produced well, and the chip is in the low-end imitation stage.

Sorry, some state-owned units are too stable because of the iron rice bowl.

Employees have no sense of responsibility, and they can't even make a bicycle.

It's not scientific to want to climb to cutting-edge products in one breath.

The biggest possibility is that other better sources of goods have been found in the country, no longer need adi, and no need for Anderson Qin.

Damn, is this another 'Toshiba Incident'?

After obtaining a nine-axis five-link CNC machine tool, the underwater noise of Soviet ships, especially nuclear submarines, dropped significantly, making NATO monitoring difficult to continue.

This sudden change must inevitably represent an out-of-control event, which will trigger a series of investigations.

Suddenly do not want adi products in China, there must be a secret behind this.

It should be that a guy who has eaten his heart and courage is playing tricks, in order to earn huge profits, secretly shipped the embargoed device to China.

Qin Hao figured this out and immediately found himself forced into despair.

"No, no! This must not be allowed to happen. Be sure to find out this hidden company or individual, and be sure to expose it."

The easiest way is to find an article from a foreign media and tell Eagle sauce intelligence agencies that someone is selling embargoed devices in the back ground.

Often, such things are done by the Japanese. They have the technology, and they have a history.

Look them up, look them up, look them up.

Qin Hao's main competitors in mainland China are Japanese manufacturers. In addition, the group of Japanese people also like to drill camps. They are brave and can do everything to make money.

Like Toshiba, Sony, Panasonic, Murata, these Japanese manufacturers mix very well in the Chinese market. Compared to arrogant European and American manufacturers, they are not so big.

Qin Hao grabbed the phone at hand and wanted to call the foreign reporter of the Imperial City. For example, Reuters, the Associated Press, Agence France-Presse, a bunch of idle journalists are waiting for big news.

But someone didn't wait for the call to come in.

I do n’t know the number

Qin Hao was still connected, and a stereotyped indifferent voice came out from the microphone, "Qin Sang, I am Watanabe, the Emperor of the Japan Trade Promotion Association."

Oh, Qin Hao prolonged his voice, and an image of an old Japanese man with a smiling tiger appeared in his mind. He asked inexplicably, "Mr. Watanabe, are you okay?"

"We recently received some very bad news and now we want to communicate with you."

"What, what do you mean?"

"Qin Sang, please don't quibble. We already have tangible evidence that you, as the trade representative of the United States adi, are working to endanger the western trading system.

I want to give you a warning now. Until you have more serious consequences, please stop. Stop playing with fire. Otherwise I will report you to your government. "

The Japanese, who have always talked round and round, rarely get such a blunt speech. This is obviously after extreme anger and annoyment, they are preparing to break the net.

Qin Hao was leaping like lightning.

This group of Japanese dwarfs dare to hit the rake!
