Chapter three hundred and eleven behind the scenes promotion four
Zhou Fahai had a three-story residence called Zhou* Mansion in a place called Xiliu Bay in Jinling. The scenery here was very beautiful and it was not too far from Xuanwu Lake.
"Why did you get off work so early today and call me to ask me to prepare a table of food and wine in advance? Who is coming to the house?" Yang Shuhui asked curiously.
Zhou Fahai has a rather arrogant personality. There are only a few people in the Jinling government who can get this kind of treatment. Prepare meals in advance. Are Wang Jingwei and his wife coming?
"This is Chen Mingxiang from Mocun and Shanghai. He is coming to our house for dinner tonight." Zhou Fahai handed the briefcase to the servant at home.
"Chen Mingxiang? Is he that young man who has a good relationship with the Japanese Military Police Headquarters and is engaged in smuggling? Why is it so grand!" Yang Shuhui said.
She had indeed heard of Chen Mingxiang many times, but such a small role was not in her eyes right now, so she thought Zhou Fahai was making a fuss out of a molehill.
"What do you know? Even though this young man Chen Mingxiang is very low-key and doesn't have any prominent positions, his network of connections in Shanghai is very strong. Both the Japanese Army and Navy look at him differently. If he really spits out his teeth,
, Li Shiqun also has to retreat."
"Chen Mingxiang is a direct confidant of the Military Police Command. He is responsible for secretly purchasing strategic materials for the Japanese Army and Navy. He handles tens of millions every year!"
"He is the largest smuggling leader in Shanghai and the largest anti-smuggling boss. Recently, he was favored by Chen Gongbo and promoted to the municipal government's foreign affairs commissioner. This is a simple official appointment sequence. He is also the deputy director of the municipal government's Social Affairs Bureau."
"His background is very complicated, and some of his identities are not convenient for me to tell you. In short, this young man is very useful to me. I plan to develop him as an insider of the municipal government. Such an important place cannot be without my people.
"
"You must treat Chen Mingxiang according to the highest standards and with the best food and wine. This person is famous for his generous spending in Shanghai. Our family will definitely not lose money!" Zhou Fahai said with a smile.
Sure enough, Yang Shuhui soon understood what Zhou Fahai meant by "not losing money". It was not just about not losing money, but a gift worth hundreds of thousands. Even she was dazzled. While the three of them went to the study room upstairs to talk, she asked the servant
He took the things to his room and admired them happily for a long time, not wanting to put any of them down.
The forty-four-year-old Zhou Fahai has a very elegant appearance. He graduated from the Economics Department of Kyoto Imperial University in Japan. He has served as the chief instructor of the Central Army Military Academy of the Yamashiro Government, the deputy director of the Attendant Office of the Yamashiro Government and the Central Propaganda*
The minister is also a powerful character.
"Mocun told you your purpose yesterday. It was also because of the aggressiveness of the military that I had to ask the secret service headquarters to retaliate. China Reserve Bank and China Reserve Bonds are of great significance to the Jinling government. We cannot separate the country's economic lifeline from the government.
The important conditions for operation are placed on the legal currency of the mountain city government."
"As long as the military commander-in-chief no longer continues to assassinate the China Reserve Bank and the situation becomes a situation where legal currency and China Reserve Bank bonds coexist, I can agree to a truce between the two sides. After all, my purpose is not to target the military commander-in-chief." Zhou Fahai said.
"I will definitely convey the minister's wishes to the military commander as soon as possible. You may also understand that the military commander still has a powerful underground organization in Shanghai. If I don't convey the message according to their wishes, my own safety will be in question."
"In addition, Huatong Trading Company smuggled military supplies from the Chiang Kai-shek area for the Japanese army, and it inevitably had to deal with the military's relatives. Their power is growing and they can provide me with 70 to 80% of the supply. I can't afford to offend them.
." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"The development of the Military Unification Bureau in the past two years has indeed been astonishing, and the funds required have been increasing year by year. Apart from smuggling, there is no other way to support the operation of the Military Unification Bureau. The mountain city government's economy has been blocked, and the finances are very difficult."
"You don't have to worry. Not only are you doing deals with the Military Command Bureau, but Japanese companies are also doing private transactions with the Military Command Bureau, including those from the Army and Navy. This is nothing." Zhou Fahai nodded and said.
He did not doubt Chen Mingxiang's identity because of this. Even the Mei agency secretly did business with the Military Command Bureau. This was a semi-open secret at present. The Japanese did it, so why couldn't Chen Mingxiang do it?
What's more, it is normal for Chen Mingxiang to convey the Military Command Bureau's intention to have a truce. There are no absolutes in this era. Everyone is looking for a way out for themselves. As long as the bottom line is not touched, it doesn't matter.
"Mingxiang, the minister attaches great importance to you and is very optimistic about your abilities. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can seek the minister's care. You must also report to the minister in a timely manner on some major matters of the municipal government." Ding
Momura showed off his role very well and changed the topic.
"I don't mean to target anyone. The Shanghai Stock Exchange is an international financial center in Asia and a leader in the country's industry and commerce. Its position is very important. It is a top priority for the Ministry of Finance and the China Reserve Bank. You should know best that the municipal government is going to
Following the instructions of the Japanese, I hope to get some trends in advance, which will be very helpful for my work." Zhou Fahai said.
Speaking of which, Zhou Fahai and Chen Gongbo did not have any personal conflicts, nor did they intend to plot against Chen Gongbo. It was just the nature of politicians to always think about planning for important places.
Zhou Fahai had long coveted this extremely important site in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Unfortunately, Wang Jingwei did not allow him to take on multiple positions, and it ended up falling into the hands of Chen Gongbo. This was his great regret.
Tonight's banquet was a feast for the guests and the host, which lasted until after ten o'clock. Zhou Fahai specially sent the two of them out of the door. This was also a very special treatment.
"Although Li Shiqun is very popular now, I judge that he can't defeat the wily Zhou Fahai. When it comes to fighting at the political level, he is still far behind. He was an agent of the Central Unification Party before. For this kind of internal strife that kills people without blood,
Not much experience actually.”
"The reason why we are so proud now is, on the one hand, the needs of the Mei agency, and on the other hand, the needs of Chairman Wang. The secret service during the war is a tool needed by the rule. When the secret service threatens the ruling class, it will be removed at any time.
Abandon it, the birds will be exhausted, and the cunning rabbit will die and be cooked by the lackeys.”
"If Li Shiqun still has some sense, he should not leave this territory, repair his relationship with Zhou Fahai, and keep the Shanghai No. 1 District of the Military Command Bureau and other anti-Japanese organizations. The secret service headquarters has the necessary and soil to survive, and he has the value of being exploited.
"
"I dare to assert that if he completely uprooted the Military Control Bureau's organization in Shanghai, and focused his energy on the Qingxiang Committee, or even held a higher position, the day he would die would not be far away." Some people in Dingmo Village
