Chapter two hundred and sixty fifth informal joint
"The inspection team was established in April last year, and it has been a month now. Although some things happened in the middle, the situation has been stabilized with your efforts."
"In order to reward everyone for their hard work last year, I decided to hold a cocktail party, have some food, drink, dance, relax for a night, and also connect with people from the Shanghai business community. I have attended too many cocktail parties recently, and I have to show it to the outside world.
Let’s take a look at the style of the inspection team.”
"The four of you are responsible for the invitations. The principle is that companies and factories must have a certain scale, and have a certain status and reputation in the Shanghai stock market. They cannot send them randomly, otherwise it will ruin our golden brand."
"Leave the purchasing to Liu Nina and Xu Caili. Don't worry about the money. Go directly to the foreign banks to purchase. The lowest level is mid-to-high-end. The general affairs department is responsible for decorating the lobby on the first floor, arranging the tables and chairs, the band, and the pastries for tonight.
The cuisine is mainly Western and Japanese, which leaves a deep impression on people.”
"It starts at seven o'clock and ends at ten o'clock. I will be responsible for inviting some guests of sufficient importance. For safety reasons, I will borrow a small team of military police from the Gendarmerie Headquarters. The guards must pay close attention to the guests to prevent unexpected situations. Go
Execute it!" Chen Mingxiang said.
Before going to work in the inspection team, he wrote the news on paper and placed it at the intelligence transmission point. He also made a secret note and asked Wang Zhen to attend the cocktail party tonight.
As long as they met, the subsequent interactions would not attract anyone's attention, and he could frequent Sinan Mansion. As for the outside world saying that he hides his beauty in a golden house, that is sour grapes.
With his current status and power, it is not a big news that Chen Gongbo is half-way through his burial, and there are still three more!
"Zhenzhen, tonight is the first cocktail party since the establishment of the inspection team. Most of the invitees are business people. I also received the invitation. Why don't you come with me? By the way, you can also get to know Chen Mingxiang. He is from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The most popular person." Wang Qianhe said with a smile while holding an invitation.
"But I heard people say that Chen Mingxiang seems to be very close to the Japanese and holds a fake position in the city government. It's not very good to have contact with him, right?" Wang Zhen said with some hesitation.
"Shanghai is currently a Japanese-occupied area. If you want to do something, you have to deal with the Japanese. Besides, there are thousands of people in the city government and its subordinate agencies. Are they all traitors?"
"As long as you don't help the traitors and the Japanese to bully the people, and don't do things that are harmful to nature, it doesn't matter if you hold a fake position. You can't let everyone use their n to fight the Japanese, right?" Wang Qianhe disagreed with this.
Wang Zhen seemed to be convinced by this theory, and did not "insist" on his opinion anymore. He went upstairs and changed into a valuable evening dress imported from France, and put on light makeup to embellish it. She was originally a lady from a scholarly family, and her own temperament
It has made her stand out.
Of course she knew that the so-called cocktail party was arranged by Chen Mingxiang for an informal meeting between the two, with the purpose of creating a chance encounter and paving the way for the next interaction.
"This inspection team is really rich. They can drink such expensive imported foreign wine and smoke cigars as they please. It's such a luxury!"
"The inspection team has its own chefs, who can cook both Western and Japanese food very authentically. I just saw sashimi, which is said to be made from goldfish. The cooking skills are really good, and every dish is like art.
It’s so delicious that people won’t want to eat it after seeing it.”
"Chen Mingxiang is indeed well-deserved. Even Mayor Chen Gongbo came here. His female secretary is really beautiful. Who is that next to him, the director of the Social Affairs Bureau?"
"Big shots from the Japanese side are also here. The director of the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Yuan. Look, he is also a vice admiral. The commanders of the Military Police Headquarters and the Marine Corps are also here."
This reception was indeed of a very high quality. Anyway, the expenses were deducted from the inspection team’s account. Liu Nina and Xu Caili were as expensive as they were expensive to buy. Cheap ones couldn’t get any rebates!
"Mingxiang, according to the arrangements of the Jinling government, the city government is planning to establish a new department called the Tax Inspection Office, which is a component of the Finance Bureau and will work together with the Tax Collection and Inspection Office."
"The subordinate inspection team verifies the production and sales of materials by merchants in Shanghai. It has the power to conduct seizures and confiscations, and at the same time strictly controls drugs. I hope to get your understanding and support for the work of this new department." Chen Gongbo said.
.
Police Chief Lu Ying sneered secretly beside him, then left with a glass of wine. Isn't this a disguised form of competing with the inspection team for power and interests?
"Director Chen, the director of the Tax Inspection Department is my brother Moyad. Please take good care of me in the future!" Mo Guokang raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Easy to say, we are all working under the leadership of the mayor, and we should be united sincerely. What's more, he is Secretary Mo's brother, so he is not an outsider. If you have any questions, just come to me." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Damn, you are really brave enough to fish for meat on the territory of the Gendarmerie Headquarters. The functions of this department overlap with the Economic Materials Inspection Team, which is equivalent to giving double shackles to businessmen. People dare not jump on the Gendarmerie Headquarters.
, what kind of onion are you?
Chen Mingxiang could already imagine how furious Kinoshita Sakaeichi would be. The inspection team earned millions a month. How could he accept someone's idea of this piece of fat?
Since you have chosen to be a Japanese dog, you will be obedient and show your presence with a grin on your face when nothing happens. Do you really think that Japanese people are good-tempered?
"Director Chen, this is Mr. Wang Qianhe, a businessman in Shanghai. He has a large-scale textile factory in the French Concession, which mainly sells to customers in Nanyang. This beautiful lady is Wang Zhen, Mr. Wang's
My niece graduated from Central University in Jinling and currently works at the Shanghai Branch of the Central Bank." Boss Zhou from Chenghai Textile Factory introduced.
"Welcome Mr. Wang to the inspection team's cocktail party, and also welcome Miss Wang Zhen. With such an elegant temperament, she must be a lady from a scholarly family, and she will make people's eyes shine." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"My little girl is just as pretty as a plum blossom. I don't dare to be praised by Director Chen so highly. I heard that you are a top student in the Department of Foreign Languages at Fudan University. You have become a legend in Shanghai through your own efforts. I have admired you for a long time." Wang
Zhen said with a smile.
In full view of the public, the two of them had a very pleasant chat, which had a hint of a man in love with his concubine. It also made some beauties at the reception feel sour, as they seemed to have foreseen the subsequent development of the two of them.
It is a pity that they are either secret agents or secretaries, and their reputations in Shanghai are very bad. It is difficult for them to marry into an innocent family and become wives in an innocent family. At best, they have extravagant hopes for Chen Mingxiang.
In fact, there were many businessmen at the reception who wanted to take the opportunity to introduce their daughters to Chen Mingxiang. If there was such a son-in-law backing him, the money would be unlimited!
