I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 25: 6 dollars to buy a car

Chen Sijia had an unwilling expression on her face: "It was Yang Juntian who wanted to recruit you, but he was not familiar with you, so he insisted that I stay. Otherwise, I would have returned to Shancheng long ago."

Gu Wenxuan: "What on earth do you want from me? I don't have any important information."

Chen Sijia said in a low voice: "For the time being, our purpose does not require you to provide any important information, we just want you to join our organization.

You just need to lurk in there and come out to provide information when the time comes. Now you are just a nail, driving it into the enemy's interior!"

"If I say I won't do it, then I won't do it. I'm about to resign from this detective team.

You want me to fall into the trap again, don't even think about it!"

Chen Sijia's eyes rolled: "As long as you join our Military Control Commission, we will give you a large amount of activity funds every month."

Gu Wenxuan almost laughed out loud when he heard what Chen Sijia said.

This is a case of seduction failing, so he's trying to bribe me with gold notes. Haha, I'm dying of laughter. Will he threaten me with my life next?

These are some important steps taken by the Military Control Commission to bribe people.

As expected, seeing that Gu Wenxuan was as fearless as a dead pig, they also handed over the third magic weapon.

"If you don't join our Military Intelligence Bureau, we will report the fact that you sold so many Western medicines to us to the Japanese military police.

You know what the consequences are, right?"

"I don't know what the consequences will be for me, but I know what the consequences will be for you. I will kill you and destroy your body immediately!"

Chen Sijia saw that the three pieces of the Military Control Commission were powerless against Gu Wenxuan.

Now seeing that he was threatening me, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Chen Sijia also knew that Gu Wenxuan was a member of the detective team and had definitely killed people before. For the sake of his own safety, it was understandable that he wanted to kill her.

Gu Wenxuan thought Chen Sijia looked cute with her neck shrunk, and he didn’t look like a member of the assassination team of the Military Control Commission at all.

I wonder why their superiors would send him to assassinate the big traitor?

"Chen Sijia, I now suspect that your superiors must have been crazy to send you out as an assassin for the Military Control Commission.

And you succeeded in the assassination. Are you really a killer? Or is it just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse?"

After hearing Hu Wenxuan talk about this, Chen Sijia became proud again:

"Then you don't know, I may not be very courageous, but I'm a very accurate shooter.

I was once the champion of the 200-meter archery competition and the first place in the 50-meter pistol competition. Besides, I was a stranger and would not attract many people's attention even if I appeared in Peiping.

So I hit the target that day!"

After hearing this, Gu Wenxuan still admired Chen Sijia, a weak girl who dared to take such a risk. Of course, if he hadn't suddenly appeared and saved her that day, she would have died!

In any case, Gu Wenxuan was unwilling to join any Japanese agency as an undercover agent for the Military Control Commission.

He suddenly thought: "How about Miss Chen, I arrange for you to work in the police station or the gendarmerie, and you can go undercover yourself?"

Chen Sijia thought for a moment and said, "I have to report this to my superiors, but I don't want to go to the gendarmerie because if I go there as a stranger,

You won’t be the same if you don’t get trust.”

Gu Wenxuan: "Well, let's stop here today. Go and report the ideas I gave you!"

"Okay then, I'll come find you again."

Gu Wenxuan was convinced. This woman was obsessed with him. It seemed that she would not give up unless he became her undercover informant. She was really a sticky person.

After Chen Sijia left, Xiangzi drove his rickshaw to Gu Wenxuan again.

Gu Wenxuan got back on the rickshaw and said to Xiangzi, "Xiangzi, you have nothing to do today, why don't we go to the foreign company and buy a car."

So Xiangzi took Gu Wenxuan to a foreign company run by an American.

The name of this bank is Madeleine & Co., and its business is automobiles, gasoline, kerosene, and mechanical equipment.

Gu Wenxuan and Xiangzi walked in. This bank was decorated very luxuriously, with bright windows and clean desks.

The entire exhibition hall was extremely spacious, with more than 10 cars of various types parked inside, including American and even German cars.

After taking a look around, Gu Wenxuan took a fancy to an American-made Ford car, which should be the latest model of Ford.

Gu Wenxuan looked at the price tag and saw it was 6000 dollars. That was too expensive.

Although this central bank is run by foreigners, there are still Chinese employees, mainly the boss, Mr. Sam. He knows that many Chinese people cannot speak foreign languages, and there are few foreigners who are proficient in Chinese.

Even if a foreigner is proficient in Chinese, his salary is high, and it is cheaper to hire a Chinese as an employee.

Gu Wenxuan said to a Chinese employee of a foreign company, "Go and call your manager. I want to buy this car. Can you give me a better price?"

The staff of the foreign company hurried to find their manager, Mr. Sam.

Mr. Sam was very happy when he heard that someone wanted to buy the latest model of Ford car. The car had just been delivered to this place and had never been sold yet.

After all, 6000 oceans is not a small amount of money. Sam is a tall and strong American. At first glance, this American Sam is definitely over meters tall.

Sam raised his shaky hand and stretched it towards Gu Wenxuan, but Sam still shook hands with Gu Wenxuan very friendly.

"Sir, do you want to buy this latest Ford car? This is the best car we have in the United States. It has air conditioning and is new. It is unique in the world."

Gu Wenxuan, who traveled through time, knew about air-conditioned buses. We only had air-conditioned buses around 2000.

The Americans have advanced technology, but we have to admit that at that time our country couldn’t even manufacture ordinary cars.

Gu Wenxuan shook his head and stopped thinking about other things. He just wanted to buy the car back. The key point was, could it be cheaper now?

"Mr. Sam, I just want to ask if you can give me a discount on this car?"

Uncle Sam thought for a moment and held up two fingers: "Sir, I can give you a discount of 200 dollars. 5800 dollars is not enough. We foreigners do business like you Chinese. Don't bargain!"

Gu Wenxuan: Your mother is only short of 200 dollars, but never mind. Foreigners really don’t seem to like bargaining. I’ll run into your garage one day and steal a few cars for you. I won’t even take a high-yield car.

Forget it today and buy one from him: "Okay, I'll buy one, can you give me some gasoline?"

Uncle Sam laughed and said, "I said you Chinese love to bargain. When you see the price is high, you have to ask me to give you something. Giving you a tank of gasoline costs dozens of dollars."

Gu Wenxuan didn't say anything and happily handed over the banknote. An hour later, Xiangzi happily drove the Ford car back to the Gu's shop in Liulichang where they lived.

Of course, Xiangzi tied his rickshaw to the back of Futai car with a rope, and then this strange combination of vehicles returned to Liulichang.

Originally Gu Wenxuan asked Xiangzi to throw away the rickshaw. Who would still ride his rickshaw now?

But Xiangzi was reluctant to part with it, saying that the rickshaw would still be sold for 100 yuan at least.

All the clerks in Gu Wenxuan's study shop came out to see their young master buy a car. At that time, such high-end cars were rare even in Beijing, so many people came to see the novelty.

For a while, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the Gu family’s shop, and some people who were curious about the situation even set off firecrackers.
