The first thousand two hundred and seventy-two chapters are changing ten
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the staggering number of Japanese and puppet assets in the Shanghai Stock Exchange became a big piece of meat in the eyes of various forces in the mountain city government. Although there were many conflicts between them due to the uneven distribution of the spoils, in this trend, everyone
It's on a line.
Chen Mingxiang was naturally a member of this group, and he was very covert when he took action. He quietly took over a large number of assets, including more than 20 Japanese and puppet factories in textile, machinery, steel, rubber and electrical and mechanical industries, and two Japanese military factories.
hospital, more than a thousand units of housing in the concession, more than a hundred warehouses of Japanese soldiers and Japanese businessmen, hundreds of cars and transport trucks, as well as a large amount of military supplies and daily necessities.
Of course, everyone knows that the one who really benefits is not Chen Mingxiang, but Dai Li from the Military Command Bureau, but in any case, this guy is not in the same group as Xuan Tiewu and Wang Xinheng.
"The consulates general of various countries in Shanghai have already sent messages to their respective embassies and made severe accusations about this matter. It is estimated that the Shancheng government will respond soon. If the commissioner asks you to deal with it personally, what are you going to do?
What to do?" Wang Zhen asked.
"What can I do? Of course I can't come here for real. Tang Enbo and Li Jilan will never agree. They can only use lies to fool the people. They arrest these officers and soldiers in the name of the Military Justice Department and then try them in a military court. Those who should be removed from their posts will be removed from their posts and those who should be jailed.
Going to jail is just a show. Do you think the old man really wants to punish them severely? Wrong!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
While the two were talking, the guard captain came to report that Zhou Haiwen had come to visit.
Chen Mingxiang was stunned at first. Ever since Zhou Haiwen was dismissed from all his positions in his industry and let him go out to pursue a solo career, the two of them had not interacted with each other for a long time.
Zhou Haiwen originally had a company of his own, and later he continued to work in his old business, profiting from smuggling materials between the enemy-occupied areas and the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and purchasing daily necessities and military supplies for the base area. However, without the protection of Chen Mingxiang, his business became somewhat difficult.
The method of dividend distribution was learned from Chen Mingxiang. Zhou Haiwen also planned to imitate his old classmate and establish his own smuggling network. The idea was beautiful, but the operation was completely different.
During the Anti-Japanese War, Chen Mingxiang was a direct descendant of the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai. First of all, the gendarmerie, which played a key role in various places, had full access to his business, especially transportation, and inspections were just a formality.
The same is true for the checkpoints that include the puppet police and the puppet army. I don't even bother to look at them. Huatong Trading Company has always been engaged in contraband trading. Isn't inspection a waste of energy?
When we arrived at the territory of the Kuomintang-controlled area, people from the Military Command Bureau were protecting us all the way, and we were building bridges across mountains and rivers. No one wanted to provoke agents like the Military Command Bureau.
But Zhou Haiwen was different. The gendarmerie, police station and puppet army in the enemy-occupied areas exploited his business at all levels. There was no special inspection-free pass. He could only operate by paying protection fees. The same was true in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.
The situation was even worse than what the Japanese and puppets wanted.
In general, although the situation was difficult, Zhou Haiwen managed to hold on. Relying on his connections during his time at Huatong Trading Company and Huafeng Company, he gradually made small gains and contributed to the material security of the base area.
Received praise from the head of the base area.
"You seem to be much more mature and experienced than before. Surviving in adversity is the best training for a person. You won't come to me for no reason. Just tell me if you have anything." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"It's still hard for me to believe that you, an important member of the Wang Puppet Government and a direct descendant of the Japanese Military Police, actually put on the general uniform of the mountain city government after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and rose through the ranks to become a general. You actually still hold many positions.
, this turn of events is really amazing!”
"This time I returned to the Shanghai stock market. I was assigned by my superiors to lurk for a long time, hiding my identity as a businessman. I came to your territory. This makes people have to bow their heads under the roof. I will still count on you in the future.
Taking care of old classmates!" Zhou Haiwen said with a smile.
Chen Mingxiang has long known that he is a member of the underground party. Such non-confidential matters can be spoken frankly to avoid misunderstandings by the other party.
He knew that Chen Mingxiang had an underground party contact person in Shanghai who had a single line of contact. Since the two of them belonged to two lines respectively, he had no right to know the identity of this person.
"The Shanghai stock market is full of businesses waiting to flourish. If you want to make money, taking the ordinary path will not work. Tell me, what kind of business do you want to do?" Chen Mingxiang said.
"Of course I am doing my old business, purchasing grain and oil materials that are lacking in the Shanghai market from various places, and then transporting the goods from the Shanghai market to various places for wholesale and earning the price difference," Zhou Haiwen said.
If he wanted to get around in the city of Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang couldn't avoid the relationship. Whether it was the Inspection Division of the Garrison Command or the police station, it was a matter of just one word from the other party.
After this period of tempering, Zhou Haiwen has been able to treat Chen Mingxiang with a peaceful attitude. No matter whether the other party will abandon the secret and turn to the light, this trend must be borrowed, because this is not a matter between the two of them, but about the organization's handover.
own tasks.
Although the Shancheng government invited the leader of the underground party to Shancheng for negotiations, everyone knows that the conflict between the two parties may lead to a war at any time, which is unlikely in a short time. According to the consistent practice of the head of the Shancheng government, this outcome is difficult
Avoided.
Funding has always been a big problem for underground party organizations in various regions. For this reason, the organization in Jiangsu Province asked him to come to Shanghai to raise funds through business. His home is in Shanghai, and people in the business community are familiar with it.
I have been working at Huatong Trading Company for several years and have certain personal connections.
The superiors also took into account Chen Mingxiang's factors. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, not only was he not held accountable, but he held an important position in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This was obviously the work of the Military Command Bureau, because during the Anti-Japanese War, Huatong Trading Company's main partner in the Kuomintang District was the Military Command
Bureau.
Seeing Wang Zhen, who has an elegant temperament and a ladylike demeanor, holding his child and talking to a female major outside, he was even in a trance. If the junior sister was still alive, this might be the same scene.
"This kind of business is quite familiar to you. I think you can do it, and the ones you can find here are pretty good. The Shanghai Stock Exchange's own security foundation is weak. What's most lacking are grains, edible oils, vegetables, fruits, vermicelli, etc., which are the most common and commonly used.
The toothpaste, towels, soap, flower cloths and foreign goods in the Shanghai market are also very popular outside, and they can make a lot of money by circulating them with each other."
"I have now joined the mountain city government. The environment is different from before. I cannot express my position in a big way. When your new company opens, I will go there and visit. I guess there won't be many people who dare to blackmail you. By the way, you get married.
