Chapter 130 Arranging spies
When Xiao Lin caught Wood, the fat man, naturally, would not waste it. If you want to maximize Wood's value, of course you must understand Wood's identity and background. Just after the battle, Xiao Lin sent a few smart soldiers to catch up with Ijik on his bike. As a weapon to detect enemy situations and terrain, the Polaroid camera Night Owl is naturally equipped. When Yi Jik looked at the photos, he knew that Wood was the mortal enemy who had always been against him and had relied on his sister to take over.
The most valuable information among them is that Ijik's sister is the woman who is the son of the old housekeeper Charlie trusts most, and may even be his fiancée. It seems that the relationship is a bit confusing and has no effect. But in detail, Wood and Charlie are not far from each other. Charlie is not a military saint like Sun Bin who has been famous for his eternal history, nor is he Zhuge Kongming, who devotes himself to government affairs. If there are too many things, he naturally needs to consult someone.
Some complaints and dissatisfactions will also be revealed in front of close people. This intimate person may be a relative or a lover, but this old housekeeper must be one of them. Otherwise, he would not have become Charlie Mill's chief housekeeper and close person. These are naturally found out by Ijik, the local snake in Boston.
Since establishing a hostile relationship with Charlie Mill, the company must understand all the movements of the British. The most important thing is to understand Charlie's arrangements and plans. However, since he suffered three consecutive losses in the company, Charlie has learned his lessons and done a very good job in keeping the information confidentiality. The spies sent by the company cannot enter the closest circle around Charlie and cannot obtain any valuable information at all.
Even some families that had traded with the company were excluded by Charlie and had no notice at all. Originally, the colony had more than 50,000 troops, which were used to fight the Yanhuang trading company and mobilized 30,000 companies to win. However, he only relied on nearly 20,000 troops in his own hands, and tried his best to waste money, and transferred 30,000 Hesse mercenaries from Europe.
If the French hadn't had the greater threat now, at least 30,000 elite troops would have come to the company to launch an attack. In order to prevent the company from knowing Charlie's arrangements in the future and causing the company to suffer huge losses due to insufficient preparations, it is necessary to bribe the person around Charlie, at least to obtain rough information. Wood's identity is completely exploitable. The son of the old housekeeper is a playboy. Wood relies on his relationship and money to get some information from him.
Even the old housekeeper's son didn't need to take the initiative to inquire. This man likes to gossip when he is old, and he is not specially trained for confidentiality, nor can he be defended. Although the old housekeeper is a professional housekeeper trained by a large family, when Charlie met the old housekeeper, he was not very important to the Mill family. When he was sent to the colony, he had the intention of exile to him.
This also means that the old housekeeper was not the outstanding one among the housekeepers trained by the Mill family, or even the last tier. Charlie later struggled himself, allowing the Mill family to gradually see his value, gradually increase investment, and push him to the position of the Governor of the colony. However, the old housekeeper did not return to receive training. The Mill family, who should be said to be the British today, almost did not have this concept.
Although I knew that I could not go out to talk nonsense, I would unnaturally bring some chatting with my son at home. Even Xiao Lin had thought about it for Wood, that is, I would know Charlie’s arrangement in advance, so that I would have more loopholes to take advantage of and there would be more opportunities to make money. Next, it depends on whether Wood is worthy of being in harmony. Xiao Lin felt that he had to clean up Wood first before he could buy it.
Under the guidance of Xiao Lin's thoughts, Wood was so tired along the way. For a whole week, he got up earlier than a chicken and slept later than a dog. Although he had no shortage of food and clothing, he had to do heavy work every day, riding a full three-wheeled bicycle. There were night owl soldiers sitting on both sides. He found that he had a bad idea and slapped him. Wood regretted that his intestines were blue. He didn't know if he was blinded by lard at the beginning and dared to provoke such a terrible enemy.
Fortunately, a week later, when the last British gathering site, Wood's tragic life ended. When he was taken into Xiao Lin's marching tent by two soldiers, an interrogation was already waiting for him. According to the arrangement of the interrogation room of the 21st Century Police Department, Wood was pressed on a chair fixed to the ground, and handcuffs tied his hands and feet to the chair. As soon as Xiao Lin moved the desk lamp, a strong light shone on Wood's face.
Wood, who had been busy for a day, was shining with strong light and drowsy. After a long silence, there was no sound in the tent. Xiao Lin and several soldiers exuded their momentum with all their might and stared at Wood fiercely. Wood was so scared that his legs were trembling, thinking that he was going to be killed. Seeing Wood's big man-like appearance, Xiao Lin finally spoke.
"Little fat man, I heard that the son of the old housekeeper next to Charlie Mill is your brother-in-law."
"Who? Oh, you are talking about Governor Charlie, yes, you are not wrong."
"Little fat man, you know who we are now, right?"
"Natural, I know."
"I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. There is no room for a circle between us and Charlie Mill. You are close to Charlie, so we are naturally enemies. Besides, you have offended us this time. Now there are only two ways in front of you. This is when we kill you, throw the body anywhere, and then we will no longer care about it..."
"I choose two, I choose two!"
Before Xiao Lin finished speaking, Wood, who was afraid of death, had already answered first. Wood started out as a businessman, and his life was not easy when he was a child. He finally made a fortune. His family had a better life. He also had several lovers, two of whom were noble ladies who he never dared to think of before. Not long after this great life, if he died, he believed that these things would be taken away by Charlie and his in-laws would also take ruthless measures.
Therefore, he had to live. Even after a week of fatigue, he did not think about seeking death. This is why. Xiao Lin was not upset, but was happy for Wood's performance. A person who was greedy for life and feared death is the best control.
"Don't worry, listen to me and finish it slowly. Just do this for me. I need you to get Charlie's information from your brother-in-law. Apart from that, I don't care about your business, and I don't want money. Moreover, as long as the information is valuable, I will also have a generous reward of money."
"this......"
"I believe that you have paid a lot of money to do business to this point now. At least you have paid out the general income. I wonder how much Charlie Mill has taken?"
"Uh, 40%, my brother-in-law and the others took a layer."
"Yes, think about it, whether it is purchasing goods, raising slaves, running sales, or negotiating business, they have not done much effort. They just provide you with some protection and deterring competitors. You have to deal with those soldiers, these are all their efforts. Ordering the army has no cost at all, but instead they have to share half of your income."
"I......"
Xiao Lin's words seemed to be magical. Wood hadn't felt it before, but now he realized that he was also resentful about taking out half of his income. All the costs were paid, the bigger the business, the more slaves he bought, the more brothers he raised, the greater the cost he had. And the income was only half. From an insignificant dealer to the number one gang leader in the British colonies, the income was only twice as high as before.
Although it is enough to consume, even a baron can't live more luxuriously. Two noble women's lovers are married and only if their family fails, they will be kept by him. If they have a half of their income, their life will even reach the level of a real-powered Count. Because that half is pure profit.
Although Xiao Lin could not get his other half, he could generate income. He naturally knew about Yanhuang Trading Company. The company's products were very popular in the colonies and were very expensive. If he hadn't been afraid of annoying Charlie, he would have chosen to smuggle company products. So, he knew that the company must be very rich, and Xiao Lin said that it would have been a big reward, so it would not be fake.
"I wonder how much money you can pay?"
"Haha, don't worry, each intelligence is 5,000 pounds as the base, but it cannot be used to charge the amount of garbage information such as food, drink, defecation, and sensation. It must be of sufficient value. Moreover, I can also buy the slaves in your hands, at the same price as Ijik's. If I want the company's goods, I can provide you with them."
"Okay! I've done it."
After thinking about it, Wood thought that this could be done, but he still agreed to it in order to ensure his life. However, Xiao Lin did not finish the conditions. He was not stupid. What if he didn't control Wood and returned to Boston and he refused to admit it. So Xiao Lin directly called four elite warriors, all of whom were the smartest people among the Night Owls, and they would protect and monitor Wood in the future.
Wood had no choice but to agree. Xiao Lin smiled, walked to him, and began to uncuff his handcuffs. Suddenly, Wood did not react and was stuffed into a pill by Xiao Lin.
"This, what is this?"
"Haha, since I know that I am an Indian, I naturally know that there are some magical things in our hands. This is a medicine, which contains rotten worms inside and the outside is medicinal paste. The mud can make rotten worms dormant, but they can only last for one month. If you don't take the antidote next month, the rotten worms will wake up and bite your internal organs. I will keep the antidote in their hands. As long as you do your best, the antidote will be given to you on time."
