Spy Family

Mei Wangzhen tried his best, expressed all the doubts in his heart to his third uncle, and urged him to at least keep Nong Xingwen.

The third uncle's answer ended all hope: "Intelligence is the eyes and ears of politics, but it is only the eyes and ears. Today, King Zhai needs the support of King Xing more than ever. Not to mention Nong Xingwen, who is a figure a hundred times more important than him. As long as Uranus opens his mouth, Zhai Wangxing will also send it over."

"But……"

"Nong Xingwen is a figure, but his status is too low, so low that he is dispensable to the entire situation. Will he defect to King Xing? Will it cause great harm in the future? No one can say for sure, a mediocre bureaucrat can It may kill him on the way forward. Even if he really rises step by step, it will only occupy a position on the enemy's side. That position will always exist. Without Nong Xingwen, there will naturally be others standing there."

Mei Wangzhen conveyed the same words to Lu Linbei in the office, and finally said: "If it were you, how would you answer Third Uncle?"

"Uncle San makes a lot of sense."

"Do you really think so, or does your position make you think so?"

“A little bit of both.”

Mei Wangzhen smiled for a while, "Okay, we are not responsible for our own affairs. We are only responsible for finding the truth, not how to 'use' the truth. Hey, did you see the news this morning?"

"I saw it."

"There's a big shot coming out of the Huang family."

"He was already a big shot."

"Then he will soon turn into a 'whale'."

Huang Tongke, one of the fifteen members of the Standing Council of the Zhai Wangxing Joint Committee, once served as the Minister of Planetary Affairs. He just made a public speech an hour ago and admitted very frankly that the government has made many mistakes in developing new land. , resulting in the increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of a few people. He unreservedly accused the major optical companies, claiming that they were the main ones obstructing reform.

His speech caused an uproar and received overwhelming approval online, but was fiercely refuted by many figures in politics and the optical industry.

"I thought the Huang family would stand together with Guangye Company, but I never expected it." Mei Wangzhen said with emotion. Facing the struggle at the top, she, like ordinary people, had the mentality of watching the excitement.

"Things are still fermenting, and there may be more 'unexpected' things." Lu Linbei also felt that the matter had nothing to do with him.

After leaving Mei Wang's office, Lu Linbei went to see Mei Qianzhong to receive the official mission.

The reorganization of the staff headquarters is still in progress. Lu Linbei first needs to prepare for the secondment. In a smaller office, he uses a microcomputer to sort out a large amount of information, select military-related information, re-categorize it, and then classify it according to importance. Sexual ranking.

Although no one asked for it, Lu Linbei still did some analysis work and classified some intelligence that obviously came from the inside of Mingwang and Dawang. The investigators and internal intelligence officers who provided this intelligence will be the early stage of the military intelligence agency in the future. backbone.

Although the Emergency Department has always been known for "not doing its job properly" and is often involved in family fights, it has not given up its due responsibilities. It has spies on several major planets, and the intelligence it collects is comprehensive and of good quality.

Lu Linbei admired the old director more and more. For many years, the old director was regarded as a politician and a hermit, and his business ability was ignored. He never made any excuses, but only left a mature structure that could cope with future changes.

If he didn't have to meet Ru Hongshang, Lu Linbei could sit in front of the microcomputer for a whole day.

Lu Linbei arrived at Ru's house on time and was extremely surprised to find that Ru Hongshang was waiting in the small living room in advance. She was wearing casual home clothes and her makeup was much more refined than yesterday, but she could not hide the anxious look on her face.

Only then did Lu Linbei realize that Ru Hongshang was really worried.

This big star, like Huang Tongke, was a high-ranking figure. Lu Linbei didn't even want to ask politely. After meeting, he said "hello" and stood there quietly, preparing to leave as soon as possible. He still had time to respond to the emergency department and continue working. .

Ru Hongshang didn't want him to leave, "Alone?"

"yes."

"sit down."

Lu Linbei had no choice but to sit across from the round table.

The valet brought two cups of tea and quietly left the room with the tray under his arm.

"There is actually no news from the Huang family. They seem to have bypassed you and me and contacted Meili Tao directly."

"Well, that's really unexpected." Lu Linbei said perfunctorily. This was just a game from the beginning, just to make Ru Hongshang happy.

"But it doesn't matter, we can still cooperate."

"Of course." Lu Linbei had only one idea in his mind, don't argue, don't refute, don't provoke, let her talk until she has nothing to say.

"Tell me, how far is the march outside going?"

"Parade?" Lu Linbei was still surprised. He didn't expect Ru Hongshang to be interested in this matter. "I don't understand. That's not within the scope of my mission."

"What is your mission?"

"Dedicated to dealing with Ms. Ru."

"Humph, if you don't tell the truth, do you think I just sit at home and know nothing about what's going on outside?"

"I really don't understand the progress of the parade." Lu Linbei said with a smile.

Ru Hongshang looked at him carefully, as if they were meeting for the first time, "You are a close confidant of Meili Tao."

"Me?" Lu Linbei felt that every word Ru Hongshang said today was surprising, "Where did Ms. Ru hear such rumors?"

"Don't worry, I know anyway."

"Is it because I accompanied my third uncle to the party? It has been nearly half a year, and that was the only time we met. This is not the treatment of a 'confidant'."

"You called him 'Uncle Three'?"

"The people on the farm call us that, it doesn't mean they are close or distant."

"Confidentiality is the code of your profession, I understand. You don't need to say anything to me. I want to tell you something, and then you can judge for yourself whether it is worth listening to and whether it is worth reporting to Meili Tao."

"That's exactly what I came for."

"This is the information I provided, not the Huang family."

"clear."

"But it's somewhat related to the Huang family."

"I am listening."

Ru Hongshang did not continue speaking. She looked around and said, "You are a professional. Check to see if there are any eavesdropping devices here."

Lu Linbei pretended to feel around, but did not tell Ru Hongshang that professional eavesdropping devices could only be checked with professional instruments, and no matter how powerful a spy was, he could not see the flaws with his eyes.

"Probably not. If Ms. Ru is still not at ease, you can talk somewhere else."

Ru Hongshang thought for a while, "Let's go outside and talk."

Ruzhai has a small garden, which is taken care of by dedicated personnel. Flowers bloom in all seasons, and there is a beautiful view at any time.

Ru Hongshang was not in the mood to enjoy the scenery today. After sitting down, she said, "Do you hold stocks?"

Lu Linbei couldn't follow her train of thought at all. He smiled and shook his head, "I don't have the funds, and I don't know how to operate."

"It's very simple. If you think a stock will rise, buy it."

“Buy low, sell high.”

Lu Linbei's casual remarks made Ru Hongshang sneer, "It seems you really don't understand. You are speculating in stocks. Making money is just like trying your luck. What I'm talking about is investing, holding it for a long time, and then trading the stocks." Mortgage, get the money and continue investing. Of course, the specific operation is much more complicated. In many cases, it can only be mortgaged to private individuals. In short, the more mortgages, the more capital. For example, if you have 100 million, after the operation, the capital It can be increased tenfold or even a hundredfold.”

Lu Linbei simply said nothing and just nodded.

"There are two keys here: one is information, which must be ensured to exit safely before the stock depreciates, which is more important than stock appreciation; second is channels, mortgages can only be done once or twice using formal means, and if you continue to do it, You have to have a wide network of contacts.”

Lu Linbei didn't quite understand it, but he understood one thing. Ru Hongshang was so keen on holding parties because she actually had practical interests in it.

"I have no problem with my channels, but I need information."

"I'm afraid I'm helpless."

"You haven't heard me out yet."

"Please say."

"Is King Zhai really going to declare war on King Ming?"

Lu Linbei smiled and said: "I am completely confused, and it is not my turn to make a judgment on such an important matter."

"I said it so clearly, but you don't understand? If war is to be declared, the first thing to do is to clarify the ownership of several major optical companies, that is, stocks. Zhai Wangxing Infinite Public and Hemingwangxing Dabu Group are all entities. There are probably millions of people holding two stocks of a huge interstellar company. Like me, the amount held is still very large. In my entire financial planning, Dabu Group is one of the foundations. If If something goes wrong, it would be devastating to me.”

Lu Linbei finally understood Ru Hongshang's logic, "Ms. Ru is worried that the two-star governments will not recognize the stocks held by residents of the other party?"

"Even if there is just a hint, it will cause the stock price to plummet."

"Ms. Ru has found the wrong person. I can't help. Mr. Cheng must know more than me."

"Cheng Toushi would use sweet words to reassure me, but I didn't believe it. Just this morning, Huang Tongke didn't know he took the wrong medicine, but he publicly accused Guangye Company. Is this because the stock market didn't fall hard enough?"

"What did Mr. Cheng say?" Lu Linbei suddenly became interested.

"He said that it was all a bluff and that it would be resolved peacefully in the end. Even if Guangye Company's stock fell temporarily, it would soon rise again. He also advised me to buy more while the price was low."

"What do you want to know from me?"

"Didn't I say it? It's a war. I need accurate information, but now everyone has different opinions, and I'm a little flustered. Your emergency department must know some secrets."

"Even if there is such a secret, it won't fall to my level."

"Meili Tao's level is enough."

"Ms. Ru can go to him directly. Third uncle should be willing to help."

"He won't even come to the party now, always making excuses to avoid it."

"There is another deputy director."

"Mei Boxue? I got the news that she is going to be out. At most, she will have a casual position and will not be exposed to core secrets. In your emergency department, the real person in charge is Mei Litao."

"Where is the Information Department? Deputy Director Cui Xuanwen often comes to the party."

"He is an old cunning man who only pretends to be stupid and never reveals the slightest secret." Ru Hongshang showed what she thought was a charming look, "Tell Meili Tao that I am not the kind of person who only asks for things. There are benefits." I will share. The benefits I am talking about are not small numbers like tens or hundreds of millions. You have to have imagination."

"I will try my best to convey these words to my third uncle."

"It's not as much as possible, but it's necessary. Don't follow official procedures and contact him privately."

"Okay, it might take two or three days."

"As soon as possible, mark my words, only timely information is useful, outdated information is worse than garbage."

"I will remember it." Lu Linbei said with a smile, and he could sense that Ru Hongshang was really panicked. "I also want to ask Ms. Ru to help me find out something."

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the other party was asking for something, Ru Hongshang calmed down.

"Have you heard of the name Zhao Didian?"

"I've heard of him, there's news about him everywhere."

"Don't deliberately inquire, pretend to chat, and observe whether the Huang family is interested in Zhao Didian and how much they know."

Ru Hongshang smiled and nodded as if she had some understanding, but in fact it was completely different from what Lu Linbei was thinking.

After leaving Ruzhai, Lu Linbei did not respond to the emergency secretary and went directly to the fortune-telling shop to find Chen Manchi. He thought that it might mean something that the ladies in the upper-class circles of Zhaijing City suddenly became interested in money and property.

Although it had nothing to do with him, Lu Linbei still tried to grasp something.
