Chen Mingxiang's answer was also very high-quality. Both Horiuchi Yucheng and Okaki Katsuo were very satisfied. No wonder Akagi paid so much attention to this guy. The key is that he knew his position and understood what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs needed him to do.
I was fascinated by this series of job titles.∈八∈八∈Read∈书,≦o≧
"Chen Jun, you are really capable and quick-thinking. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs really needs elites like you. Don't worry, you can fully exercise your power within the public concession. Okaki-kun will help you. We need
You can play a bigger role." Horiuchi Yucheng said with a smile.
To be able to position himself correctly, the Consulate General must also provide some sweetness and benefits. What he means is that these positions are not empty titles. You can do it within the scope of your authority. Some Japanese are not convinced, Oka Katsuo
Will take care of them.
Although these words are not necessarily false, Chen Mingxiang will not take them seriously. Relying on his own power to do things is far inferior to relying on his own skills to win over people's hearts. The Military Police Headquarters has asked him to do it. What else can a group of small policemen do?
Waves coming?
"The section chief of the Criminal Special High School Division is Lieutenant Colonel Shigeru Goto. He comes from the Military Police Headquarters and is the next Chief of the Special High School Section. He is expected to come to Shanghai around February 20. Before the supervisor comes, the Criminal Police Department
You will be in charge of the special higher education courses for the time being."
"The specific affairs will naturally be handled by the people below. It is estimated that there will be no major events during the New Year. It is just those idle guys in Hongkou District who may get into fights and cause some trouble."
"You can also use the office in the Ministry of Industry Bureau building to avoid wasting time moving around. Household registration will begin on the 20th of this month. Early next month, the imperial army will implement controls on the public concessions and prohibit the possession of dangerous goods such as weapons and ammunition.
, the movement of materials in the concession is prohibited, and all materials are registered.〖∈八〖∈八〖∈Read〖∈书,2∞3↓o”
"As my assistant, you should try your best to go to work at the Ministry of Industry Bureau during this period. There are many trivial matters. In a few days, the public utility company in the public concession will be taken over first." Okaki Katsuo said.
What kind of bullshit control is it for the wealth of foreign expatriates in the public concession? In the name of searching eij, open plunder is carried out. In the process, no one knows how many people will die!
When Chen Mingxiang got this date, his first thought was to go to the office building of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and to the office of General Director Riddle. Coincidentally, four directors from the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Netherlands, as well as Philip from the president's office, were all drinking and smoking cigars here.
, their faces were very ugly.
"Mr. Chen, we have submitted our resignations to the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which should now be said to be the Japanese occupation agency, ending this period of humiliating experience. A new director will be officially elected on the 7th," Riddell said with a wry smile.
"Do you want me to help you evacuate Shanghai? When the Japanese army's attention is reduced, I can send you to the mountain city." Chen Mingxiang asked.
"No, we all have to be with the expatriates in our own country. This is our duty. Thank you for your kindness. If you have time to see us, I would be very grateful if you let us starve to death." Riddle's tone was full of desolation.
"At the beginning of next month, the Japanese army will carry out a large-scale search of foreign nationals in the public concession. If you have anything to say, please tell me in advance and I will try my best to help you." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Mr. Chen, we do have something to ask for your help. The purpose of the Japanese occupying the concession is for wealth. According to the Japanese army's shamelessness and greed, everyone's homes will be turned upside down."
"Through our secret contact, some people would like to ask you to keep their valuables for safekeeping. The coins and gold bars belong to you, some rare jewelry and gold and silver jewelry, as well as deposit certificates, land deeds and bond books, etc. Please put them in a safe place.
The place."
"The entrustment period is twenty years. At that time, the situation will still be such a bad situation. Everything will be given to you. This is also their last hope." Riddle said.
"Let's put it in Villa Mara for the time being. It is the residence I have chosen. Most people know that no matter whether it is the military police, the Marine Corps, or the Japanese police station, they will not dare to come to look for trouble easily.
After a while, I will dig a cellar and bury it," Chen Mingxiang said.
He did not hesitate to accept the entrustment from the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. The time was tight and the task was heavy, so he had to devote his utmost energy to handle this matter.
Twenty years? This is a joke!
Chen Mingxiang firmly believes that with a military power like the United States participating in the war, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to last ten or eight years before surrendering. Perhaps in four to five years, China will be free from the Japanese aggression.
He never thought about embezzling this wealth. He believed that the value of this thing itself was far higher than the value of these items. The more favors he could give out, the better. Maybe after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he would be able to exert unexpected effects.
effect.
After secret contact between a few people in the Ministry of Industry and a group of people, British and American businessmen in the concession who wanted to store their belongings jointly sealed their valuables in boxes and entrusted them to Chen Mingxiang for safekeeping. This was no other option.
In order not to attract attention, the number of boxes is naturally as small as possible, so the contents inside are also the most precious wealth.
There is a list in each box, which everyone signs and confirms. Then it is transported to Mara Villa by the truck of Huatong Trading Company and temporarily stored in a room.
"The foreign businessmen in the concession are really rich. Look, boxes of dollars, pounds, legal tenders and gold bars, how much they cost!" Wang Zhen said in amazement.
She looked at the living room filled with coins and gold, and her heart beat faster.
"The legal currency is of little significance. The Japanese and Wang eizhengfu will soon ban the circulation of legal currency. From now on, all transactions and purchases will have to use China Reserve Certificates. After a while, this will be a lot of waste paper!"
"Businessmen in the public concession also use legal tender. This is because most of the money is deposited in banks, otherwise the amount they get will be more."
"What a pity, there are too few US dollars and pounds. These foreigners really don't know how to save more banknotes from their own countries!" Chen Mingxiang said regretfully.
"How can you alone take advantage of all the good things in the world? It's beyond my expectation that they can trust you so much. I thought these people had buried their money in the ground!" Wang Zhen said.
"Do you think there isn't one? Those people from the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of Industry can contact only a small number of businessmen. Ordinary people can only fend for themselves."
"I dare say that the vast majority of foreign nationals will dig a hole to hide their money and valuables. The Japanese army has always dug deep into the ground, and they will definitely find a lot of property."
"We can't control these things. You count the amount of the money and find a way to transport half of the legal currency back to the mountain city. It will be used as funds for the bureau headquarters. The Kuomintang-controlled area still uses legal currency. The other half will be replaced by China Reserve Certificates to be used as office expenses for the directly affiliated station.
." Chen Mingxiang said.
He was busy storing valuables for the British and American businessmen in the public settlement, but he did not expect that a big event was about to happen. 11 Friends who are reading, you can search for "" and you will find this website as soon as possible.
