Reborn in Brazil As a Plutocrat Chapter 692

Chapter 692 The message from John Zeng

Yao Mu in the private room has not left. During this period, his focus has been on investigating the businessmen who smuggled goods into his hometown. Originally, these tasks should be handled by the customs and marine police departments, and have little to do with the police.

But his boss told him to investigate those businessmen in the port city who had counterfeit and substandard war preparation materials and smuggled them to his hometown. In his opinion, this is purely a means for the boss to attack competitors.

Because according to his investigation, the businessmen who now have a large amount of war preparation materials are either foreign devil trading companies that he cannot afford to offend, or large businessmen like Huo Guantai who have close ties with their bosses.

 And the goods in the hands of these big merchants are mostly enterprises controlled by British capital or capital from Commonwealth member countries that even the Hong Kong government cannot afford to offend. Therefore, the only ones they can target are those small traders and those who make and sell counterfeit goods.

Coincidentally, these small businessmen are often competitors of these large businesses. Although they are not large in scale, they are numerous in number. They often use fishing boats or even small sampans to package some fake and shoddy products and transport them to the other side to earn money. Huge benefits.

But the actions of these people have obviously harmed the interests of those big merchants. He has investigated the quality of the goods in the hands of those big merchants. They are all high-quality products, but such high-quality products can only be sold for a low price. s price.

There must be some patriotic businessmen like Huo Guantai wanting to support their hometown, but it is definitely related to the fake and shoddy products that have disrupted market prices.

Therefore, in his view, American capital like Universal Group will definitely find ways to avoid counterfeit and shoddy products and bad currency driving out good currency.

However, he also understood that secretly the boss must be the same as Huo Guantai, supporting the side of his hometown. Otherwise, why would he spare no effort to support Huo Guantai? He also leased the bulk cargo ship he had eliminated to the other party. He did not believe that he was optimistic about Huo Guantai's character.

You must know that he has seen these so-called obsolete bulk cargo ships with his own eyes. The quality is absolutely very good, and they are 80 to 90% new. They will be more than enough to be used for another 20 years. They will definitely sell well in the market. Good price.

But for such a cargo ship, the boss did not use it to run more profitable ocean routes, but directly leased it to Huo Guantai for smuggling. If an old fox like him couldn't understand the deeper meaning behind it, he would have lived for so many years in vain.

 So, when his boss asked him to investigate those profiteers who were selling shoddy goods and making it difficult for the country to make a fortune, he happily accepted the task.

After all, the current British government is also part of the United Nations forces, and they are also making every effort to crack down on smuggling to the mainland. Investigating and arresting those unscrupulous businessmen who are making a fortune for themselves will not only get rewards from the British government, but also help their bosses fight against competition. Opponent, of course he is very happy.

 Therefore, he dispersed all his men and focused on those black-hearted businessmen. As long as he caught evidence of their involvement in smuggling, he would arrest them directly. This will not only add to the credit books of the brothers, but also take the opportunity to squeeze out the oil and water from these businessmen, allowing the brothers to make a considerable fortune.

In this way, although his brothers didn't know why Yao Mu didn't let go of these smugglers, they were all very active in this task. After all, this task could make people richer than any previous task.

Shortly after Agui left, the door of the private room was knocked again, and an unexpected guest pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing this person, Yao Mu was obviously very surprised. He stood up in surprise, laughed and took the initiative to hold the other person's hand and said:

“John, why do you have time to come here? Aren't you working as a guard for the Hong Kong Governor now?”

That's right, the guest here is his former subordinate, John Tsang, the hometown agent who was recommended to the Hong Kong Governor as a security guard because he was appreciated by Reinhardt.

John Zeng also responded enthusiastically to Yao Mu's enthusiasm.

“Brother Mu is my old boss. Of course I have to come over and keep in touch when I have time.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Mu was so happy that his back molars were exposed. After all, this young former subordinate is now doing great things. He has successfully broken through the rank of Chinese police detective and became a trainee inspector.

Although this level is common among British police ranks and is not worth mentioning, for the entire Chinese community, it is quite top-notch.

Coupled with the recommendation of Reinhardt, when he returns to the police force after finishing his job as a Hong Kong Inspector, he will definitely be directly promoted to the official rank of Inspector. If he can get some credit, his future will be even more limitless.

"Haha... you are telling the truth, I don't know you yet, tell me! What do you want from me?"

Yao Mu is very aware of John Zeng's character. This kid is different from the ordinary Hong Kong police officers. He is a rare highly educated guy among the Hong Kong police. Although this guy behaves like most ordinary police officers, he is not that polite and arrogant.

But Yao Mu knew that deep down in his heart, this guy still had his own pride. Although he would not look down on himself, he would never really come to him to communicate with him.

 So, he went straight to the point and asked about the other party's purpose.

Hearing this, John Zeng was not embarrassed, but pulled the seat next to Yao Mu and motioned for the two of them to sit down and chat.

Seeing John Zeng's performance, Yao Mu knew that the other party coming to see him this time must have serious business, so he didn't say much and returned to his place directly.

 After the two of them sat down, John Zeng poured himself a cup of tea, and then slowly said:

“Brother Mu, I heard that you have been investigating and arresting smugglers who are smuggling to the mainland recently?”

Seeing John Zeng mention this matter, Yao Mu couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly, and quickly began to think about what John Zeng meant. Did his actions make the British unhappy?

As for whether John Zeng was from the mainland, Yao Mu really hadn't thought about it. Mainly because of John Zeng's usual behavior, he couldn't see any good impression of the mainland. Haven't you seen that everyone else's Chinese name is John?

 So, his first reaction was whether John Zeng had received any unfavorable news for him. After all, if the British wanted to cause trouble for him, the person sent should not be John Tsang, the guard responsible for protecting the safety of the Hong Kong Governor.

Of course these thoughts just flashed through his mind. On the surface, Yao Mu still smiled calmly:

"That's right! Didn't the higher-ups say that a blockade will be implemented on the other side? We can't participate in matters at sea, but on land, we must also show our role as police!"

Hearing Yao Mu's words, John Zeng smiled and joked:

“I think Brother Mu is eyeing the wealth of those smugglers!”

Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help laughing. Since John Zeng can bluntly point out their purpose of getting rich, it means that the other party has no ill intentions towards him.

"Hehe... John, you know that the welfare and treatment of our Chinese police officers are very poor. If we don't find a way to find some ways to make money for the guys, people will be scattered, and it will be difficult to lead the team."

In fact, John Zeng knows who Yao Mu is doing under instructions, so he definitely doesn't have any ill intentions towards Yao Mu, and will even try his best to cover and help him.

 It's just that all this must be done in secret, and Yao Mu must not be aware of it.

"Oh! That's right! Although we Chinese in Hong Kong do the same job as the British, we get completely different wages. As a guard at the Governor's Mansion, I get a better salary than the British who do the same job. Low.  Fortunately, the brothers have a good commander like you who thinks about them. Thinking about it now makes me miss the days of working under Muge!”

Yao Mu was confused for a moment by John Zeng's words. He couldn't figure out what John Zeng meant. Did he want to be transferred back to the police force, or did he want to continue collecting fees from the police force.

 Before Yao Mu could figure it out, John Zeng seemed to know that he was going off topic. Quietly lowering his figure and getting closer to Yao Mu said:

“Brother Mu, you have been doing a lot recently. When I was on duty with the Hong Kong Governor a few days ago, I heard someone complaining to the Hong Kong Governor.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but glance at John Zeng in surprise. He didn't expect that this little brother would say such things to him. You must know that the other person's current job is as a guard of the Hong Kong Governor, and there are confidentiality regulations. What you see or hear cannot be said to others at will.

If someone knew about it, he might be sent to jail. But after the other party heard the unfavorable words about him, he made a special trip to inform him, which moved him instantly.

An old fox like him has seen too many intrigues and intrigues, but now he saw an innocent heart in John Zeng, which made him couldn't help but look at him with suspicion.

 “If you tell me this, I won't let you be punished!”

Hearing this, John Zeng smiled and looked at Yao Mu and asked:

 “Will Brother Mu betray me?”

Looking at John Zeng's expression, Yao Mu couldn't help laughing and said:

 “Haha...of course not, we are our own people.”

 After saying that, the distance between the two people unknowingly became a little closer.

Seeing this, John Zeng also smiled and continued to lower his voice:

"Brother Mu, don't worry. Although this guy went to complain about your actions, the British still have some face. After all, the current blockade of the mainland is the idea of ​​the Americans, and the British firmly support it. At this time, the Hong Kong Governor It is impossible to suspend your actions just because the other party complains.

However, the person who went with this guy was the top brass of our police force, Chief Superintendent Thomas. "

This time Yao Mu couldn't help but frown.

 “That **** Chief Superintendent of the Political Division?”

Most of the Hong Kong police at this time did not know what the so-called political division did. Even the police officers in these political divisions kept a very low profile most of the time and did not have much interaction with ordinary police officers. Therefore, the political presence of the Hong Kong police is not high, so it is no wonder that Yao Mu looks dismissive.

  But in fact, the Political Department was established in 1934 and is affiliated with MI5. It is an internal security department responsible for counter-subversion and espionage activities. In 1946, it was officially incorporated into the Hong Kong police establishment.

 Since 1950, the main work of this department has been to collect intelligence from the hometown, and to prevent and detect the infiltration of the hometown into the port city and other espionage activities. It can be said that they are John Zeng's biggest rival.

Seeing Yao Mu's disdainful expression, John Zeng knew that Yao Mu didn't understand the true nature of this political department at all. After thinking for a while, he decided to remind the other party a little, otherwise, if Yao Mu fell into the hands of the other party, it would be a loss to them.

“Brother Mu, don't look down on this political department. I used to think that this department was an idle department that raised waste. However, these days when I worked in the Hong Kong Governor's Office, I realized that this political department is far from as simple as we thought.”

Hearing this, Yao Mu couldn't help but frown, and quickly lowered his voice and said:

“You mean, this political department is not as simple as we see?”

Seeing that Yao Mu paid attention to his words, John Zeng continued:

 “Have you ever heard of MI5?”

You must know that Yao Mu has experienced World War II, so he naturally knows about intelligence warfare and spies. Living in Hong Kong City, he has also heard about the reputation of MI5 and MI6. Know that MI5 is the British counterintelligence service.

Now when he heard John Zeng suddenly mention this department, he immediately became vigilant. This was not their usual black and white, but a brand new field that he was unfamiliar with. Moreover, even if no one said it, he knew the cruelty and danger of this field. He couldn't help but his face changed drastically and he said:

“You mean the Political Department is MI5?”

Seeing Yao Mu's expression, John Zeng understood that Yao Mu had heard of the name MI5, which made it much easier for him to explain.

“More accurately, they are subordinate agencies of MI5. According to my observation, they should only be in the name of our police force, but actually belong to a department under the command of MI5.

 Because I often see Chief Superintendent Thomas following the British guys from MI5 to the Hong Kong Government House for meetings, but rarely see him following the Commissioner of Police. "

If Yao Mu still didn't understand what the Political Department was at this time, his years in the police force would have been in vain. But even so, he was not afraid. After all, he was just an ordinary police officer and did not have much interaction with these intelligence agents and spies.

“Huh! So what, I'm carrying out the task according to the commander's orders. I don't believe what he can do to me?”

Seeing Yao Mu's attitude, John Zeng couldn't help but laugh. Originally, he was afraid that Yao Mu would shrink back after telling him the true situation of the Political Department. He didn't expect that the other party would have such an attitude.

“Hehe... They really can't do anything to you. After all, you haven't done anything wrong. But, aren't you surprised why he is related to these smugglers?

You should know that the Hong Kong government now explicitly prohibits smuggling to the mainland. "

As soon as he said this, Yao Mu immediately understood what was going on. Good guy, it turns out that there are spies behind these black-hearted businessmen who make and sell counterfeit goods. It seems that this matter needs to be reported to the boss immediately and let's see what the boss says.

“You are saying that these smugglers are backed by MI5, but why? Doesn't the British government also prohibit smuggling to the mainland?”

Seeing Yao Mu pretending to be stupid, John Zeng couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and his favorable impression of Inspector Zonghua increased a bit.
