Chapter 965 Harvest
After eating and drinking, Lin Mo was relieved for a while while eating and drinking, but of course he was not idle, but instead learned about the situations found by various people in Shanghai.
On Xu Zhiyu's side, those channels have been investigated and confirmed. There is no problem, and there is no sign of surrendering to the enemy. However, you should pay attention to the other party's channels and other channels that may be under surveillance, and there may be problems with individuals or small groups within it.
In addition, the relevant matters were negotiated properly. After the other party confirmed it correctly, they did not refuse. Some people were even quite excited and wanted to participate in the action more deeply.
However, Xu Zhiyu definitely couldn't agree to this matter. He just said it tactfully. Lin Mo naturally couldn't agree to it. Not to mention anything else, at least the two conveniences do not have this basis for mutual trust.
To be honest, not everyone can get involved in the difficulty of this mission. He really wants to ask someone to help. Can't he ask Mr. Du to help? At least the boss memorized the book, and his power is far beyond their reach.
Of course, Lin Mo must not be so rude to say so directly. At least he did help you, but Lin Mo probably wouldn't have mentioned this again when the news spread yesterday.
"Do you have any special circumstances or special discoveries?" After chatting about the task, Lin Mo asked.
"If you want to say that it's so special, there is really nothing, but we found a sign during our exploration..."
According to Xu Zhiyu, in the city, the forces rely on the periphery, and their attitudes towards the Japanese are very clear. They either completely turn to the Japanese, or they clearly refuse or even stand on the opposite side. There are few people who are swaying or ambiguous.
This is different from the city, especially in the concession and the forces near the concession. There are a lot of swaying, speculative, and ambiguous people here.
Lin Mo guessed that, first of all, the Japanese might have lost their influence and control after they left this range.
Secondly, the Japanese may not allow them to be here, and the other party is still so swaying. In the concession, they may also have to worry about Europe, America and the major gang forces, but outside, if you dare to play like this, you will probably be killed.
Moreover, the city and even outside the outside world surrendered to the Japanese forces. Lin Mo suspected that there would be some tricks inside. He was either supported by the Japanese, or suffered severe infiltration and control, or he had been mixed into some of the Japanese's private activities early and had already fallen into it...
Wang Mingkun's work was also done beautifully, such as a communication booklet. Apart from the Japanese's actual control territory, almost all other regions were arranged by Lin Mo, and a large number of address and number messages were recorded.
However, according to Wang Mingkun, they collected records published by telephone companies, or some newspaper companies, printing companies, telephone books printed with merchant advertisements, etc., and then visited them on the spot and recompiled them into new books based on regional streets.
This method is much more flexible. It is directly used in the name of newspapers or printing companies, which is reasonable and reasonable. There is no doubt at all. Instead, it is curious and has even been cursed by a lot of situations.
In terms of transportation, Wang Mingkun personally led the team, but he believed that theft, renting and other methods had been used in the previous operation, so the Japanese probably had taken more precautions and attention on this.
Therefore, in addition to spying on these situations to make backups, he also actively sought new ways to obtain transportation, and he really found it.
Buying a car, but not buying a car. Wang Mingkun found that there are many damaged vehicles on the market of SH, and the prices are extremely low, and you can buy it for dozens or even dozens of dollars. They are unwilling to bear the expensive cost of buying a car normally, but this price is not a problem at all.
He also saw that most cars can be used after a little renovation. As for the other party, it was troublesome and expensive to find someone to repair the car, and the other was that the person who repaired the car was too tricky.
Some car repairers pretend to understand it, while others rely on their skills to keep cheating you. It is said that some people have even been cheated of money from buying a new car, and some cars have even been cheated of how many times they have been transferred and how many generations of car owners have cheated.
As for the source of those cars, some were produced for military purposes during World War I, but were abandoned after the war, repaired and sold to China at a low price. The number of cars in major domestic cities, including Shanghai, also soared at that time.
One, those cars are old antiques that have been around for more than ten or twenty years, and various problems are naturally frequent. Moreover, due to the old model, many of them have been sold or discarded by car owners at low prices. One is definitely not able to spend much money to maintain, and the other is even worse when throwing it away and eating dust. Therefore, more and more such damaged vehicles on the market are.
Another source is that with the surge in silver prices, domestic purchasing power has indeed soared. Due to the impact of the Great Depression in the past few years, many people cannot afford the vehicle expenses and a large number of vehicles have been abandoned.
So, the business of selling used cars has emerged recently. It is said that several ships of used cars have been shipped in succession, but I don’t know if the other party is afraid of not being able to catch up or why, so it has not been repaired properly. There are also many problems with vehicles that are frequently sold at low prices.
Although these low-priced problematic cars have old models and ordinary performance, most of them are Model T-cars, these models are actually the most common in Shanghai, which is quite in line with their needs.
As for the car failure and problems, the cars in the training ground were almost repaired by them so much that they replaced the parts. At least half of the people in the four teams could repair them, and some of them were almost experts in the family. Some replacement parts and tools could rub them out for your hands.
Wang Mingkun’s idea is to build a car repair place, open a car repair place, and get those problematic cars at low prices, and then use them in action after repairing them, and then change their appearance, then use them or sell them directly at low prices. It will be very convenient to deal with them.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! And there is another point, that is, even the place where you set up is full of ideas. The most important thing is that you don’t have to pay much money. The place is not small and is still in the concession.
It turned out that when Wang Mingkun discovered and investigated the problematic cars, he had corresponding ideas, so he preset the relevant identity information in advance.
Their design identities are technicians who repair machine maintenance equipment from an Anqing factory. Due to the recent impact of foreign goods, the factory has been shut down. Other local factories have encountered such problems, and few people have started operations.
Because there are many family members, they have no choice but to go to Shanghai to find new jobs to overcome difficulties. As a result, there are many factories in Shanghai that have such situations. They have not been able to search for them for many days. Seeing that there are many broken cars in the SH market, they want to make a living by repairing cars.
When I was exploring, whenever I encountered a curious car owner, I would use this to refer to it. As a result, I encountered a car owner who had a lot of trouble and asked several people to help him repair the car.
Several people patiently told their identities and helped repair the car. The process was quite unfamiliar, but they accurately found the problem with the vehicle, and also pointed out many hidden dangers on the vehicle and repaired it.
Anyway, during the process, he showed familiarity with the machinery, but he was a little unfamiliar with the vehicle. The other party tried the car with a doubt. After the trial, he was overjoyed and called several people.
After checking the condition of the car and trying the car, one of them expressed high praise for the skills of the people. Among them, the person in charge asked who could repair the car?
Wang Mingkun felt that it might be an opportunity, so he said that several people could practice it if they were familiar with it, and that they could do it in this industry, and that some people would call on them to come. Only then did those people express their identity and purpose.
The car owner who was very involved was the owner of a house sales agency. Among them, the manager of a bank in charge of real estate investment.
Several people said that they could provide them with a place to start a large car repair shop, and they would also buy a batch of repair equipment and parts for them as quickly as possible.
Just give a few dollars a month to rent, and this discount can be given for three years. They must also ensure that they have been offered for more than three years. They must operate honestly during the period and do not deceive customers.
"They should have invested in and built real estate, and they want you to open a store to make a gimmick selling point, raise the price of houses or sell real estate quickly, right?"
Based on the relevant situations I have learned in the past two days, Lin Mo heard it for a while and knew what the other party was trying to pull out his butt.
"…It is true..." Wang Mingkun also nodded and explained: "We were a little moved later, so we were pulled over to watch it on the spot. There are also new dance halls, theaters, theaters, cinemas, as well as high-end restaurants and large car rental stores nearby... "
However, those on the main street, and their car repair shops are in a remote street, but there are also planned wide lanes connecting those residential areas.
And the place is indeed quite large. It looked like it was a warehouse or two before, but it should have been changed to a large workshop for making noodles and baking noodles. However, it has been moved away and everything that should be removed and tidyed has been done. Obviously, the other party may have been thinking about it for quite a while.
Wang Mingkun and others have also visited this area before. In fact, they were just going to the big car rental store. There were a lot of cars inside for individuals to rent, and drivers could also be provided to help pick up and drop off. It was probably because of these people who started or supported them. They met the boss of the house selling agent later.
This place is located in a remote area within the concession, so it was not until these years that it began to develop. The surrounding large areas and land have been purchased by many banks and large real estate developers early.
These people intend to build it into a higher-end residential area, probably because they are planning high-end Shikumen residential buildings, high-end apartment buildings, garden villas, etc. At present, the surrounding area is completed and sold, under construction, waiting to be built, demolished, and waiting to be demolished.
It may be in the early stage of development, or the local area is indeed a little biased, so the land price and housing prices are almost inconvenient. So these people have developed ways to invest in and open or support various supporting facilities to raise prices.
These properties are all aimed at buyers with wealth and status, and there is definitely no shortage of cars. The places for repairing cars are naturally a must-have. There must be many car repair skills in Shanghai, but it is estimated that cheating people is really profitable, so Wang Mingkun and others gave the opportunity.
