Zhang Tianhao arrived at the Zhabei Chamber of Commerce, and where he left or was assassinated, several groups of Japanese soldiers had already rushed over.
There were many spies who also surrounded the building in front and rushed directly to arrest people.
But when they got to the top of the building, they found a rope behind the building, and the gunman had already left the building and had fled to who knows where.
"Baga, let the Chinese escape again, Baga!"
The Japanese captain looked at the empty top of the building and cursed for a while. After all, this kind of thing had happened more than once, and the Chamber of Commerce had put pressure on the Japanese military police.
…
"It turns out to be Mihara-kun, please come inside, please come inside!"
At this time, a Japanese military policeman saw Zhang Tianhao's car, checked his ID, and made a direct gesture of invitation.
Zhang Tianhao did not speak, but directly asked Ah Feng to continue driving and entered the compound. At this time, there were more than a dozen cars parked in the compound.
After getting off the car, Sun Xinxin followed Zhang Tianhao directly upstairs, while Ah Feng was waiting for them in the car downstairs. This was normal operation.
There were already many people in the conference room at this time, and Japanese businessmen were talking loudly, as if the entire conference room was like a shopping mall, with everyone talking to each other.
Kodama is not here, obviously the time has not come yet, it is only 9:40 in the morning, and there are still twenty minutes until the meeting.
Most of the people here are Japanese businessmen similar to him, and the big businessmen have basically entered it. Just like the Suzuki family, Matsumoto family, and Miyamoto family, they are all big businessmen. He can only be regarded as one.
Just a small businessman.
"It turns out to be Mihara-kun, long time no see!"
"Mihara-kun, your chamber of commerce has made a fortune, so please take good care of it in the future."
"Mihara-kun, I really look forward to drinking with you. How about we go drinking together after the meeting?"
Seeing businessmen coming to greet him one by one, he responded to them one by one. After all, most of these businessmen were familiar with them, and he had met them before in meetings in Shanghai.
"Thank you everyone, how about we go have a drink together after the meeting is over?"
Zhang Tianhao also laughed. In this scene, his chamber of commerce is relatively good, especially now that he has connections with the navy, he feels like a leader.
"Akaban-kun, Insan-kun, Ohno-kun, Kitamura-kun, it's been a long time no see!"
Zhang Tianhao also found a place closer to the back and sat down, chatting with everyone one by one.
The few people sitting next to him also smiled and said hello, and one of them immediately said: "Mihara-kun, did you encounter trouble again when you came all the way here?"
"Yes, a Chinese assassinated me, but my car is bulletproof and the safety aspect is quite good. Everyone, what do you think? Is it safe on the road?"
"Forget it, Mr. Mizushima was injured on the way here and has been sent to the hospital for treatment. Damn the Chinese, we don't even dare to leave our homes now. We are really pissed off."
"Well, now that the Chinese are becoming more and more rampant, they are assassinating us businessmen. I am really angry. I am really angry! This meeting has a proposal on how to control the Chinese business."
"Oh, there's also this thing!"
Zhang Tianhao was also stunned, and immediately asked with a smile.
"Yes, Mihara-kun, don't you know the content of this meeting?"
One of the people named Shangcun Club asked in a low voice.
"I really don't know. I just came back at noon yesterday and started to rest when I got home. I'm still confused now. What big thing happened?"
"Supplies, this time the Chamber of Commerce will send out a batch of supplies to support the imperial soldiers on the front line. However, in the past two years, our Chamber of Commerce has become more and more difficult. It is also very difficult to raise supplies. When the time comes, Mihara-kun, you
I can help you more."
When Zhang Tianhao heard this, he immediately understood something in his heart, but there was still a surprised expression on his face.
"What, supplies, my God, now my chamber of commerce's income has dropped by 40% compared to last year, and we can only make ends meet. Do we still need to donate supplies? What should we donate? Even if we want
Donating is also quite difficult.”
"Mihara-kun, are you in trouble too? It's impossible, right?"
"Yes, Miyuan Club has been developing well, how could it encounter trouble?"
"I believe Mihara-kun, with the ability of Mihara Club, will definitely have more income. Mihara-kun must be too humble!"
Zhang Tianhao suddenly cried and sighed helplessly.
At the same time, he glanced at the people around him and shook his head.
"Everyone knows that our business is getting more and more difficult. You should also have discovered that it is difficult, really difficult to change our current situation. Shanghai is so big. If we want to develop, the economy is in depression.
It is already doomed. Unless the empire implements new economic policies, everyone's life will become increasingly difficult."
These words immediately resonated with others. Everyone was in the same situation. Even if they tried all kinds of methods, there was still no change. It was very difficult to change.
Several people nodded in agreement, and even everyone had the same grimace, wanting to say something, but they couldn't.
"Our annual income last year was only more than 300,000 yuan, which is really difficult."
"You have more than 300,000, and I can barely get 300,000. After deducting all kinds of expenses, there is hardly much left!"
"So are we, but I believe Mihara-kun must have a good income, right?"
Zhang Tianhao also shook his head bitterly, sighed with a somewhat disappointed look, and said seriously: "After the audit is completed this time, our club only has less than 800,000 yuan, which is worse than last year. Adding in the various aspects of sharing, there are
Regarding the management of the Navy, in the end, I didn’t even have 200,000 yuan, and I lost so much that I didn’t even have enough workers’ wages.”
"Split into?"
They immediately understood that Zhang Tianhao's Sanyuan Club was affiliated with the Navy, and all aspects had to be taken care of. It did require a lot, but it was almost impossible to lose 200,000. It was definitely more than what he said.
"impossible?"
"Don't believe it, my club has spread, but you see that my club is larger, but the income is constantly decreasing. There is no way, it is difficult, it is really difficult."
Several people also knew very well that Zhang Tianhao's words were full of moisture, but there was definitely a lot of moisture in them, but it was difficult for sure.
But it is also true. You must know that they only have such a small income with the support of imperial policies, but the problem is that everyone is about the same.
"By the way, Mihara-kun, it seems that there is going to be a war on the front line again. This time the empire has borrowed a lot of money from our club. How are you doing there?"
"To borrow money, I am already owed more than 800,000 yen by the empire. This time they ask us for 200,000 yen in supplies. This year may have been wasted again. Whether we can maintain our capital is still unclear.
Know the numbers.”
Zhang Tianhao also knew it, but he had no choice. The Japanese borrowed money from their club and kept increasing the pressure, but they were all bad debts. They said they had interest, but so far they haven't seen a penny.
When this was mentioned, other people's expressions were also quite ugly. The big clubs could still stand up and recover part of the money, or use materials to offset the losses. Small clubs like them could only admit that they were unlucky.
"It seems that everyone is in the same situation. It's difficult. It's really difficult. I don't know what the president will do to solve this problem. If this continues, our club may go bankrupt."
In this case, everyone feels the same. After all, life is getting more and more difficult now, the empire is about to go to war, and the leader thinks of the support of businessmen like them.
