Ning Zhiheng waved his hand and asked again, "But how do I know if your information is true or timely? Also, are you going to sell to two different people?"
Anderson shrugged and said, "It's the old rule in the intelligence market: I'll take half the money upfront, and the other half after the intelligence is confirmed to be true. As for whether I'll sell to two different people, that depends on whether you're willing to buy out the intelligence. You can pay an extra amount, and I guarantee I won't sell it to anyone else."
Ning Zhiheng frowned, about to speak, when Anderson continued, "As for my reputation, you can inquire about it. The information about the deals I've closed is all true and valid."
Huo Yueze had done some research beforehand and knew that Anderson had a good reputation in this area.
Ning Zhiheng stopped dwelling on the issue. To be honest, he wasn't afraid that Anderson would try anything. This guy had been based in Shanghai for many years and even owned his own trading company. He could run away, but he couldn't hide. If he dared to cheat Ning Zhiheng out of his money, the consequences would be severe!
Ning Zhiheng said calmly, "I won't disappoint Mr. Anderson regarding the price. To be honest, you know our identities. Apart from selling this information to us, I'm afraid no one else will be very interested. Besides, we'll be dealing with each other for a long time in the future, so Mr. Anderson should still show some sincerity!"
Anderson naturally knew the background of the two men opposite him. Phillips had already revealed the buyer's background. These men were intelligence agents of the Wuhan government. The bombing of Japan's largest military warehouse in Shanghai into the ground some time ago was their doing.
This incident had such a huge impact that it directly led to the postponement of the military conference of the Japanese Central China Area Army by three days. The intelligence in his possession was stolen by his mole, who used these precious three days to make sufficient preparations.
It's fair to say that the people on the other side deserve some credit for the fact that I was able to obtain this intelligence!
“Mr. Lin, I am certainly very willing to complete this deal, but the value of this information is enormous, and ten thousand pounds is definitely worth it!”
At this point, Anderson took out a roll of film and a file folder, placed them in front of Ning Zhiheng, and said again, "This is the original film and the organized documents. You can take a look at a portion first. If you are satisfied, you can pay half the price first. After the information is verified, I will collect the other half of the payment."
He then took the first page from the document and prepared to hand it to Ning Zhiheng.
However, Ning Zhiheng reached out to stop him. Under Anderson's questioning gaze, Ning Zhiheng calmly said, "The Japanese Central China Area Army has abandoned its plan to continue the attack on Wuhan and is preparing to advance northward, aiming to open up a communication channel with the North China Area Army."
As Ning Zhiheng spoke calmly, Anderson felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and almost jumped up. He stared wide-eyed at the person opposite him in disbelief.
This is the top-secret content of a military conference of the Japanese Central China Area Army. In this conference, the Japanese military made a major decision: after capturing Nanjing, the Central China Area Army would no longer advance alone and abandoned the idea of continuing to pursue the Chinese military government and attack Wuhan. Instead, it would turn its forces around and attack northward, attempting to join forces with the powerful North China Area Army to further develop the eastern part of China into a stable base, and then gradually erode China from east to west.
This was a high-level military meeting. It was a top-secret intelligence that he had been working on for years and had painstakingly obtained. It had just been delivered to him, but the person on the other end had already clearly described the intelligence. It was simply unbelievable.
In an instant, his mind raced, considering all sorts of possibilities. Could this information have already been sold once before? No, absolutely not. His mole was an extremely cautious person who trusted no one but him.
That means there are other intelligence networks within the Japanese military that have moles, and that they obtained information from other channels.
Of course, it's also possible that it's just the other party's guess, trying to trick me and lower my price?
