After sending Ding Mocun away, Chen Mingxiang has been considering the information released by the Mei agency. He believes that the current debate and caution will not affect the final result.
At the reception held to celebrate the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Office, Chen Mingxiang heard some rumors about Japan-US diplomatic negotiations from the consul of the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai.
The U.S. government requires the Japanese government to withdraw its troops from China and Southeast Asia, not to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, and not to use force in the Pacific region. The Japanese government will never agree to such harsh conditions, so the negotiations will ultimately end in failure.
Since Japan and the Soviet Union signed the non-aggression pact, the U.S. government saw the failure of its appeasement policy, gradually lost patience, and began to toughen its attitude.
When the Japanese army entered the northern part of French Indochina, the United States, Britain and the Netherlands were planning to impose a severe trade embargo on Japan, cut off the oil and steel on which the war relied heavily, and force their opponents to withdraw from Southeast Asia to safeguard their own interests.
Benefit.
Chen Mingxiang is sure that as long as the Japanese army dares to enter the southern part of French Indochina, the US government will definitely implement the sanctions plan. Here is the best deep-water harbor, Cam Ranh Bay. Based on this, the Japanese navy can carry out attacks on most countries in Southeast Asia.
attack.
"Ichiro Hirai seems to be really anxious. It is estimated that the representatives of the Japanese chaebols in Shanghai put great pressure on him. At first, he stayed in the office and did not show up. But for the past four or five days, he has been shameless, carrying Japanese souvenirs.
Visiting door to door.”
"I heard that the smugglers drink and dance with the heads of the enforcement department every night, and give them many expensive gifts, but these guys never come to you. Isn't it strange?" Liu Nina quickly asked.
Got the news.
For several days, Chen Mingxiang stayed in the office of the Director of the Supervision Office at the Secret Service Headquarters, leaving Liu Nina and Xu Caili on duty at the inspection team to see what happened to Ichiro Hirai.
"It's not surprising. First of all, the bullshit law enforcement brigade of the inspection team has been disbanded. They don't know what happened. Secondly, Hirai Ichiro coerced and lured them. He had no idea in his mind and wanted to find out my attitude through the enforcement department. This is what I want to do.
This will test the wisdom of the execution department." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Qin Hongtao and Song Bohai were both his confidants who were promoted by him, and they were both smart people. Since they did this, they must have considered it.
The added value brought by the Executive Section, that is, the wealth brought by power, comes entirely from his level of authorization, and he is not to the point where he cannot even trust these two people.
In other words, since he has their power, he can naturally take it back, but for a matter of one sentence, he has to see their ability to do things.
"Boss, those smugglers asked our enforcement department to ask for your instructions. The Japanese consultant from the inspection team came to visit and asked them in a low voice to resume material exchange with the Chiang Kai-shek area as soon as possible."
"Ichiro Hirai proposed that Japanese companies will purchase the goods of various firms at market prices and will no longer lower the prices. Moreover, as long as the goods are sold to Japanese companies and all checkpoints of the inspection team are clear, can they start to sell the goods?
"Qin Hongtao said with a smile.
The Japanese consultant of the inspection team, Hirai Ichiro, personally visited the house. Of course, the smugglers did not dare to miss him. After all, they were Japanese, and they could do anything if they were anxious.
Besides, they couldn't bear it anymore after the business had been suspended for such a long time. It was a great opportunity for smuggling right now. As long as they transported the goods from the Kuomintang-controlled area to the Shanghai market, they could immediately earn several or ten times the profit.
Have a grudge against money?
"Why are you asking me? I'm not their biological father. They're just a bunch of people who only care about food but not fighting. They surrendered with just a verbal promise?" Chen Mingxiang said angrily.
Huatong Trading Company has many lines, including American businessmen, British businessmen, Japanese military and German businessmen, which requires a large amount of resources to support. Therefore, he has his own plan for the entire smuggling transaction in the Shanghai market, and must
In his control.
The reason why I'm taking care of Ichiro Hirai is to show my strength to the smugglers. If you don't follow me, you won't even be able to drink the soup, and you'll lose all your money!
Now he is preoccupied with national events such as the war between Japan and the United States. He has no time to care about the smugglers' mess. I didn't say anything. No matter how anxious he is, he has to endure it!
"Boss, you are the leading overlord of our smuggling industry in Shanghai. Of course they have to listen to you. Even if you say it harshly, you are more effective than their own father!"
"Our Enforcement Section has already released the news. If you hadn't asked the Japanese senior generals to come forward to suppress the inspection team, the Japanese consultants would have sent them to prison. Therefore, we are clearing the place at the old hotel tonight. You are invited to come over for a meal.
meal."
"I also heard that they prepared a generous gift for you. Thank you for helping to get the goods back and punish the Japanese ronin who did evil." Song Bohai said.
Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company occupies 30% of the smuggled goods in Shanghai and Guotou District. It is the absolute boss. With this kind of strength, it also has the absolute right to speak in the industry.
In addition, he served in the city government and the secret service, and was protected by the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai and the Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai. No matter how tyrannical the Japanese consultants were, they would not dare to touch a box of his goods.
Some time ago, Chen Mingxiang asked smugglers to stop shipping. Everyone listened to his words, but they were robbed by the inspection team. Many people were dissatisfied with this, thinking that he was cheating his colleagues!
Unexpectedly, within two days, the instigator, the Japanese consultant Ichiro Hirai, came to the door with Japanese tea and snacks to make peace, which made a group of people think it was a dream!
So this group of people dragged Song Bohai and Qin Hongtao to spend a lot of time trying to figure out what was going on. When accepting the banquet, the two revealed a piece of news to them.
In order to take care of the interests of his colleagues, Chen Mingxiang used his personal connections to ask the generals of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai to come forward and suppress the inspection team. Otherwise, you can just cry at home!
"All the major firms have expressed their stance. From now on, they will definitely obey the boss's orders. Every private transaction with the Kuomintang-controlled district will receive a share of your dividend!" Qin Hongtao said.
"I will not go to the banquet tonight. You two are here on my behalf and tell them that the current situation is not enough. They are holding off for now. Not only are they not cooperating, they are just trying to find excuses. When can the goods be released? Wait for me
Let’s negotiate good terms with Japanese companies.”
"You have done a good job in this matter, and you have lived up to my expectations. I asked them for half of the dividends to be used as funds for the execution department. Don't put all the money in your own pockets, but also share some with your brothers. Also, I
Just gold and US dollars." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Boss, what about the antique calligraphy, gold and silver jewelry they prepared for you?" Song Bohai asked.
"Send it to my house on Yuyuan Road. I will be cleaning at home tomorrow. I haven't lived at home for a long time." Chen Mingxiang thought for a while and said. Friends who read books, you can search for "" to find this book as soon as possible.
