This time Wu Sibao called to invite Chen Mingxiang to the Mega Club, not just to invite him to drink, dance and have fun, but to share the expenses of the Huxi Police Department with him.
The land in the west of Shanghai is so fat that it was almost snatched away by Lu Ying from the city police station. Now the finance bureau of the city government still has a dedicated person watching over the tax collection.
In the cross-border road construction area of the concession, there are casinos, opium dens, dance halls, nightclubs and other leisure and entertainment venues everywhere. No matter how much money you spend, you can absorb it. Such a feasting and drunken environment can satisfy most people's needs.
need.
Especially at night, the eyes are full of drunken people, dance halls and nightclubs with dancers dancing in their arms, gamblers with bloodshot eyes in casinos, and skinny smokers, making this area a mess.
Special places naturally have special laws. The Huxi Police Station protects these luxurious and corrupt gold sales dens, and the income is naturally very considerable.
In just one month, the city government's Finance Bureau siphoned off more than 1.8 million French currency in "special taxes" from the Huxi region, and the Police Headquarters also received more than 2.9 million in protection.
fee.
According to the promise at that time, Chen Mingxiang would have 20% share of the income from the Huxi Regional Police Headquarters, at least 600,000 yuan. Wu Sibao and Pan Tao were not prepared to default on their debts.
Not only did Chen Mingxiang play a key role in Pan Ta getting this position, but also with his protection, the Military Police Headquarters and the Special High School had unimpeded access. In the long run, this deal was a good deal.
"How much have you prepared? Director Chen's vision is very high. The biggest smuggling leader in Shanghai never takes money out of his hands. Huatong Trading Company and Jiang Tong District have a transaction volume of at least 20 million French currency in a month.
It would be meaningless to make him feel that we are causing trouble in private." Pan Tao said.
"Don't worry, the 30% given by Director Li is an imaginary number. In fact, it is only 15%. We will have to rely on Huatong Trading Company to make money in the future. How can we dare to tamper with Director Chen's dividends?"
"I have prepared 40,000 U.S. dollars. Legal currency and China Reserve Bonds are simply out of reach at the moment. It is inconvenient to exchange it for gold, but U.S. dollars are the most practical." She Aizhen said.
As subordinates, Wu Sibao and others dared to withhold the dividends of their boss Li Shiqun. Is this normal?
In fact, this situation is normal. It is a superior-subordinate relationship when it comes to work at the secret service headquarters, but when it comes to money, it is also a transaction.
Li Shiqun indeed helped Pan Tao become the director of the Huxi Special Police Headquarters, but Pan Tao also gave him a huge sum of money in return and owed him nothing.
To put it bluntly, the dividends are pure protection fees. Li Shiqun needs to come forward to support him when something happens, but usually he just sits back and enjoys the benefits.
Although Wu Sibao and others promised Li Shiqun and gave him a 30% share of Huxi's income, as long as the Japanese did not cause trouble and no one dared to cause trouble to them, this god was already worthy of him if he gave him a full 15% share.
.
"Sorry, I'm a little late. It seems that you are in a good mood tonight!" Chen Mingxiang opened the door, took a look, and then said with a smile.
Of course he knew that people like Wu Sibao would not come looking for him if nothing happened, and he also guessed that Huxi's dividends were about to be cashed in, so he smiled broadly. Is money such a thing too hot for anyone?
"Director Chen, it's almost ten o'clock. Anyway, let's have a drink first!" She Aizhen picked up the decanter and poured half a glass for Chen Mingxiang.
Having a beautiful woman among a group of men can adjust the atmosphere very well. Moreover, She Aizhen is not an ordinary beautiful woman, she is much more masculine than the men.
"No problem, I'll just pour the wine for my sister-in-law herself. This glass has to be finished. It's rare to get together with the brothers. The consumption tonight is mine!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Pfft, Pan Ta and others burst out laughing!
"You bastards are so full of blind imagination that you even dare to make jokes about me. Stop saying anything and just have a drink alone!" She Aizhen said with a smile, raising her leg to give Pan a kick.
She was originally from the Youth Gang, and she hung out among these gangsters every day. She knew the way these people thought very well. After thinking about it for a moment, she immediately knew why they were laughing. It was just that Chen Mingxiang's words were slightly ambiguous.
This title of sister-in-law is combined with the word "gan". What good word can it be?
She was not an ordinary woman. She didn't even turn red on her face when she was teased. Wu Sibao sat aside and smiled without saying a word, and did not get angry about it. Such jokes were too common, and he often made them with his brothers and wives.
Paralyzed, you guys with dirty ideas, how can you connect everything together? Chen Mingxiang also laughed. You can't be angry about joking. It doesn't matter to She Aizhen, a woman. He who wants a sister-in-law, what kind of child is he?
Leisure?
"Director Chen, this is the dividend from Huxi Ground. I exchanged 600,000 French currency for you into 40,000 U.S. dollars. There will be more and more in the future." Pan Tao opened his briefcase, took out eight bundles of U.S. bills and put them on the
On the table.
At this time, there were still relatively few U.S. dollars in one hundred denominations. The most common ones were fifty and twenty denominations. Fifty-one, forty thousand yuan would require eight bundles!
"Brothers are all working in the same pot, so I won't say any kind words. I will keep in touch with you more in the future, and I will ask myself if I can do things worthy of your intentions." Chen Mingxiang said.
This is definitely not a boast. Huatong Trading Company sells a lot of goods, and it opens its doors to buy goods from the Guard Corps at very high prices. A group of gangsters have made a fortune in the smuggling business. He will definitely take this money.
Don't panic.
The reason why Pan Tao and others dare not deduct his dividends is because the leaders of the Guard Corps are reluctant to give up Huatong Trading Company's profits of millions a month.
"Recently, because of Chen Yu's affairs, I often go to the secret service headquarters. I found that since Director Li left, the headquarters has become a lot deserted. What are they doing there?" Chen Mingxiang sat down and lit a cigar and said.
"I heard that Su Chengde also caused trouble for you because of Chen Zhi's matter?" Wu Sibao said with a smile.
Su Chengde walked away from his office in dejection. It is likely that the people in the detention center were lax and told others casually. Su Chengde was not very popular in the secret service headquarters. In addition, he opened a dental clinic in Jinling District some time ago, and many people
I want to see his jokes.
In fact, Xu Caili was also venturing out according to his request. The "reason" given by Chen Mingxiang was that he was worried that Su Chengde would become angry and do something secretive.
"There are really no secrets in the Secret Service Headquarters. This nonsense has reached your ears? That's what happened. Su Chengde felt that he was the one who caught Chen Tong and was afraid that I would take his credit, so he asked me to argue with him.
.”
"But persuading Chen Zhi to submit to the secret service headquarters is the task assigned to me by Director Li. Su Chengde has no choice. He is really thoughtful," Chen Mingxiang said.
