Major newspapers and periodicals in the concession reported this incident one after another. The secret service headquarters not only launched a killing spree against the Jiangsu Provincial Farmers Bank, but also kidnapped more than 100 employees of the Shancheng Government Bank of China. Public opinion was immediately in an uproar.
Li Shiqun issued a statement on behalf of the Secret Service Headquarters, saying that this was not an act of revenge, but to protect the safety of citizens. As long as Shancheng promised not to continue killing innocent bank employees and order in the concession was restored, all those detained would be released.
"Report to the bureau headquarters and suggest that after this matter is resolved, the concession should protect the bank and all employees should be evacuated to a safe place or dispersed and hidden. They should not stay in the dormitory until the problem is completely resolved before returning to work."
"I feel that this is just the beginning. If Shanghai District 1 continues to carry out sabotage missions, the secret service headquarters will definitely massacre bank employees. If Li Shiqun could do such a thing, they have an absolute advantage, and we will suffer if we force ourselves.
"Chen Mingxiang said to Wang Zhen.
As the contact between the two became more and more frequent, Wang Zhen moved to the garden house of Sinan Mansion, and Chen Mingxiang could also come here to see her "uprightly".
The Wang family was not very happy with the development of the two. Chen Mingxiang worked for the Japanese and puppet organizations, but he could not stand the pressure of the situation. In addition, Wang Qianhe tried his best to speak good words for Chen Mingxiang, so they could only acquiesce.
With a future son-in-law like Chen Mingxiang to protect him, the family business can indeed be protected in the Shanghai stock market. Besides, Chen Mingxiang has a good reputation in the Shanghai stock market. He is not arrogant and domineering, and he is not like those who bully good people, defraud, and plunder.
There is a difference between a traitor and a traitor. "I will report it to the bureau headquarters immediately, but I think Boss Dai may not adopt your suggestion. It's because he doesn't want to, but he can't."
"The financial industry and currency market in the Shanghai Stock Exchange are of great significance to the mountain city government. No matter how high the price is, it is impossible to make a truce and make peace in a short time."
"Boss Dai is a very proud man and will not bow to a big traitor like Li Shiqun. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Shanghai District 1 will continue to carry out assassinations." Wang Zhen said.
She saw clearly that the Shancheng government would never allow Shanghai, an international financial center city, to be occupied by the Japanese and puppet China Reserve Bank. China Reserve Bank bonds would become the mainstream currency. Without this important external base, the finance of the Kuomintang-controlled area would inevitably be destroyed.
With major restrictions, legal currency will also form local currency, which will be a significant loss to the finances.
Under such circumstances, the mountain city government will definitely order the Military Command Bureau to take measures, even extreme measures, to curb the momentum of China Reserve Bonds.
"I know what you mean, and I also know that this suggestion will not be adopted, but whether to do it or not is one thing, and whether to say it or not is another matter. If such a big thing happens, the direct station will be reprimanded by Boss Dai if he does nothing.
.”
"I don't object to Shanghai District 1 even if they want to take action, they have to evacuate their own bank employees. Knowing that these people are the target of revenge, but continuing to act regardless, the final result is to shoot a stone at yourself."
I was forced to call a truce by the actions of the Secret Service Headquarters."
"The Japanese army is preparing to launch a large-scale cleanup operation in the occupied areas. The military aspect will mainly target the Loyalty and Salvation Army and the underground party's army. Its leadership structure is very large. Wang Jingwei personally serves as the deputy. Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fahai are deputy officials. The secretary-general is responsible for specific affairs.
Local governments must cooperate."
"Li Shiqun is trying his best to compete for the position of Secretary-General. It is not really necessary. At this time, he is not willing to conflict with the military command. You should also give this information to the bureau headquarters." Chen Mingxiang said.
An Ran was sitting on a chair in the garden drinking coffee, a little curious.
Looking at the window on the second floor, Wang Zhen, the inspector directly under the station, actually has another top-secret mission. What is even more incredible is that the content is to maintain a close relationship with Chen Mingxiang and even become a lover.
She was no stranger to this well-known smuggling leader and anti-smuggling boss in Shanghai. Before coming to Shanghai, the special training class had specially read Chen Mingxiang's information to her, and she also knew that the bureau headquarters and his Huatong Trading Company had a business partnership.
, it’s a smuggling partnership!
Director Pan, who handed over the task, said that the profits generated from the transaction with Chen Mingxiang supported 70% of the bureau's expenses, which is an extremely terrifying figure.
The Shancheng Government's Ministry of Finance allocates a total of 600,000 French currency to the Military Command Bureau every year, but the current monthly expenses of the Bureau's headquarters have reached more than 800,000 French currency, totaling more than 10 million French currency a year.
Wang Zhen’s explanation was that the bureau headquarters asked her to win over Chen Mingxiang, stabilize this main source of income, and obtain some important information with the help of Chen Mingxiang’s close relationship with the Japanese and puppets. This was also the main task given to her by Chunfeng, the deputy director of the directly affiliated station.
.
"The second batch of goods has been shipped and is worth about two million French currency. There will be another batch sent to the Shanghai stock market at the end of April, which will not delay your plan."
"The payment for the first batch of goods was exchanged for scarce supplies in the Shanghai market. The bureau headquarters informs you to use the company's transportation lines to transport things to the mountain city. During the procurement process, no counterfeit money was discovered." Wang
True said.
"This is the first time I've used it. Of course no one will notice that there are counterfeit banknotes in legal currency. It's just that I haven't found a black market exchange channel yet. Time is getting tighter and it's a bit troublesome!" Chen Mingxiang said with a frown.
To be able to eat three million legal currency counterfeit banknotes, even if the exchange ratio is 20:1, it would cost 150,000 US dollars or 3,000 large yellow croakers. Half and half, it is difficult to find such black dealers.
"I already have news. Under the best circumstances, it can be exchanged for 120,000 U.S. dollars and 500 large yellow croakers. The transaction is not so accurate and may cause some losses."
"Just give me three million in counterfeit French currency, and by the end of April at the latest, I will return the exchanged gold dollars to the bureau headquarters, convert them into legal currency, and then return to the Shanghai stock market to exchange for foreign exchange." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
"You just came to the Shanghai stock market, how did you find the currency black market?" Chen Mingxiang couldn't help but look at his assistant with admiration.
He has never done black market business before, and is not very clear about the inside trade. There are quite a few people around him who know this industry, especially those from Wu Sibao's gang, Huatong Trading Company's customers and the inspection team's customers, who are all experts.
There are a lot of people there.
But this matter is not real legal currency exchange for foreign exchange gold, but counterfeit banknotes. It must not be operated by someone else's hands. Chen Mingxiang has been a little angry these days. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhen solved it for him.
"Mingxiang, have you forgotten what I do? I have been working in the banking system and am more familiar with such things than you. I am a professional. And when I was at the headquarters of the Central Bank of Shancheng, I had a close relationship with the Shanghai Stock Exchange
If you have business dealings with subordinate branches, you can also find acquaintances.”
"After receiving your order, I contacted two business directors from the Shanghai office of the Central Bank. They helped me contact black dealers and underground banks. This huge sum of money needs to be exchanged in multiple batches."
"For safety reasons, I will definitely not come forward. I plan to send people from the action team to carry out this task. If there is no warning in advance, it will be difficult for the bank staff to discover that these banknotes are counterfeit." Wang Zhen said.
