Lu Yuan didn't say anything about the gold bars he found in the Huang family, as the old saying goes, good money is moving, Lu Yuan can trust Schuhman and Hogg, but he can't fully trust the other people brought by Hogg. Even if he had pulled the people brought by Hogg into his plan at this moment, Lu Yuan still didn't reveal the matter of the gold bar, and after a brief conversation in the study, Hogg and the others stayed here for a temporary stay for one night according to Lu Yuan's plan in advance, if the Concession Patrol House came to check, they would be the best proof that Lu Yuan did not go out.

After getting enough money from the underground secret room of the Huang family, Lu Yuan finally had a good night's sleep, and it was not until lunch the next day that Lu Yuan woke up leisurely, and Hogg, who got the money from the housekeeper Fubo, had already left. "Young master, according to your orders, I have already given them all the money. Although the old man doesn't know what is going on between you and these foreign devils, but our family has given them a lot of money these two times, and I am always a little unstable in my heart, what if these foreign devils run away with our money? ”

During the meal, the housekeeper Fu Bo chatted with Lu Yuan for a while, which made Lu Yuan cry and laugh a little, but he couldn't explain what he was doing to Fu Bo, so he had to make up a reason to prevaricate first. After lunch, Lu Yuan thought that he didn't seem to have anything else to do, so he went out with a bag of gold bars and went straight to Hansen's Rose Bar. "Mr. Hansen, I'd like to ask you to get me some medicine for my trauma, and I'll have Schuchmann pick it up then." Seeing Hansen again, Lu Yuan simply went straight to the point and said the purpose of his visit.

After seeing the gold bars that Lu Yuan brought, a ray of light flashed in Hansen's eyes, and he immediately nodded in agreement. "Lu, I have long known that you are not a simple person, you also know that I am a black marketeer, and besides, our relationship has always been very good. So, I don't ask you where these gold bars came from, and you don't have to explain anything to me, just give me three days, and after three days, you ask Schuchmann to come and pick up the goods from me. ”

Hansen was as enthusiastic as ever, which made Lu Yuan very satisfied, and before coming to the Rose Bar, Lu Yuan had been worried that Hansen would alienate himself because of the plan he had told him in the study that day. "Mr. Hansen, I hear that your government seems to be interested in such a precious metal as gold? I happen to have some gold bars in my hand, I wonder if you're interested, Mr. Hansen? Anyway, he and the Germans are a cooperative relationship, so Lu Yuan simply had the courage to do it again, and was ready to exchange the gold bars he got from the Huang family for dollars or oceans here at Hansen.

When it came to gold, Han Sen really came to the spirit, and then asked Lu Yuan, "Gold bars?" How many do you have? Is it a big yellow croaker or a small yellow croaker? Isn't it the same as the one you brought? Han Sen pointed to the bag of gold bars on the table and asked Lu Yuan, the gold bars Lu Yuan brought were all big yellow croakers in good condition, and Han Sen knew how many such big yellow croaker gold bars Lu Yuan still had in his hands.

Lu Yuan looked at Han Sen and smiled slightly, then stretched out his right hand and slowly opened his five fingers, Han Sen subconsciously confirmed when he saw this, "50? Lu Yuan didn't answer when he heard this, he still opened the five fingers of his right hand, and Han Sen immediately exclaimed, "God, is it 500?" Lu Yuan nodded at Hansen, who had already jumped up from his chair excitedly. The large yellow croaker gold bars circulating in the black market in Shanghai are 10 taels each, and 500 such large yellow croaker can be 5,000 taels, although the one or two on the market are only 31 grams, but 500 large yellow croaker gold bars weighing 313 grams are gathered together, and the total weight can be more than 150 kilograms.

150 kilograms of gold, this is definitely a big business, but Hansen, who was excited, suddenly became uncomfortable, because he currently has no way to eat this 150 kilograms of gold. Xu saw Hansen's dilemma, Lu Yuan smiled at the right time, "Mr. Hansen, I didn't say that I wanted you to eat these gold bars at one time, we are old friends, and I trust you very much." This batch of gold, I only need dollars or oceans, don't think about the total price of these gold, how many dollars and oceans you have, I will exchange how much gold for you first, I can keep the rest first, and when you raise enough dollars or oceans, we will continue to trade. ”

Lu Lu's proposal won Han Sen's gratitude and favor, and then he pondered for a while before he spoke, "Lu, it's better to do this, aren't you going to build a refugee shelter in Nanjing, you are obviously dealing with this batch of gold to prepare the funds needed for the refugee shelter." I don't have that much dollar or ocean here, but I can help you get the supplies you need, and maybe I can exchange the supplies you need for the gold. ”

Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched his head when he heard this, "Mr. Hansen, I have to say that this proposal of yours is very tempting, but you must know that the refugee shelter is built in Nanjing, if you guarantee that the materials you provide can be safely transported to Nanjing within the time specified by me?" I can't delay the progress of the refugee shelter because it is convenient for us to trade, and once the road from Nanjing to Shanghai is interrupted, no matter how many supplies you prepare for me, I am afraid that it will not be helpful at that time. ”

Lu Yuan's worry and embarrassment finally made Han Sen laugh, "Lu, it seems that you don't know anything about our black market merchants, you must know that not only Shanghai has a black market, but Nanjing also has it. I will contact the black market merchants in Nanjing, and they will prepare the supplies you need according to the list I provided, and I will settle with them in Shanghai while the supplies are delivered to you. All you have to do is see if the supplies are enough, and for the rest, that's me and them. ”

Damn, could it be that there was inter-provincial exchange in the Republic of China era, looking at Han Sen's triumphant smiling face, Lu Yuan couldn't help but curse in his heart, it seems that these black market people have now formed a scale. Since Han Sen was able to help him reduce the energy and time required to order supplies, Lu Yuan was not happy, and immediately promised to give the remaining gold bars to Han Sen as soon as possible. Hansen, who was excited, told Lu Yuan a good news that the military sight he ordered half a month ago had arrived, and it would be delivered to Lu Yuan in a few days on the ship that sailed from Nanyang to Shanghai.

After getting two good news in one day, Lu Yuan couldn't help but be happy, and after saying goodbye to Hansen in a hurry, Lu Yuan went to meet Xu Huanshan again. "Lao Xu, don't say that I eat alone, the Huang family's safe is mostly antique calligraphy and paintings, and there is not much cash, this is your share. Next time, if there is a target like Huang Baiqiang, try to prepare the information carefully, but don't let me run away, it's not cost-effective to have three melons and two dates. Handed over the 20 gold bars to Xu Huanshan, ignoring the joy that flashed in Xu Huanshan's eyes, Lu Yuan did not say what he actually gained last night.

Xu Huanshan didn't know how much floating money Lu Yuan had made from the Huang family, the 20 gold bars in front of him were enough to make him ecstatic, the funds of the Shanghai underground party have always been seriously insufficient, and now with these 20 10 taels of big yellow croaker gold bars, the comrades in charge of logistics can be more or less relaxed. "Lao Xu, how did you check the thing I said last time?" After Xu Huanshan put away the gold bars, Lu Yuan immediately asked about what he asked Xu Huanshan about the previous time.

Putting the gold bars in his pocket, Xu Huanshan's excited expression gradually calmed down, and when Lu Yuan asked about the matter, Xu Huanshan immediately replied, "We used the inside line lurking in the Japanese Concession, and it turned out that it was similar to what you said, the Japanese Concession has begun to organize male expatriates to join the so-called merchant protection group, but it is not as serious as you said, the inside line said that this so-called merchant protection group is not equipped with weapons, and it is currently only three days a week for military training." ”

Xu Huanshan's answer made Lu Yuan frown and not fall into deep thought, and after a while, Lu Yuan continued to ask, "What about the Japanese army?" Did the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai move? Lu Yuan's question made Xu Huanshan shake his head slightly, the underground party has been active in Shanghai for several years, their opponent has always been the Kuomintang, the intelligence collection of the Japanese army is not perfect, it is already very difficult to break the inner line into the Japanese concession, as for the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, the hand of the underground party has not been stretched so long.

Lu Yuan was very disappointed in the efficiency of the underground party, what Xu Huanshan had just replied to himself was basically useless, seeing that this was already the end of July, and the day of the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu was getting closer and closer, Lu Yuan's heart became more and more anxious and nervous. "Lao Xu, I still say the same thing, I hope I can bring this sentence back to your superiors. I have my intelligence channels, and the information I have received shows that the Japanese will carry out a war against Shanghai next month, and I hope that you can make corresponding countermeasures in advance, so as not to suffer unnecessary losses at that time. ”

Lu Yuan really had a way to tell Xu Huanshan about his source of intelligence, and he was anxious when Xu Huanshan asked him, so he had to put the source of information on General Hausman, anyway, the underground party also knew that General Haussman had been to his house and stayed for half a day. "Lao Xu, whether you believe me or not, I have already told you what I know, and as for whether you report it or not, that's your business. If you have paid close attention to the movements of the national army during this time, it should not be difficult to come up with the same analysis results as mine, and I hope that your underground party will not suffer a catastrophe because of stubbornness. ”

After finally telling Xu Huanshan a few words, Lu Yuan returned to his residence by car, and called Schuchmann and Hogg again to his residence. "Gentlemen, the problem of supplies has been basically solved, and it seems that you need to rush to Nanjing in advance." Lu Yuan told Hogg and Schuchmann the news that Hansen was willing to help solve the supplies, and then specifically told Schuchmann to restrain the people recruited to Nanjing as much as possible to avoid clashes with the German soldiers under Luca during his stay in Nanjing.
