Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty-Three Golden Robbery Ten
"Although you are gambling your future with a ton of gold, and you must be a little reluctant to part with it, I still congratulate you. The outcome of the gamble is not bad, and I will give you an equivalent exchange."
"In a few days, use the special pass of Huatong Trading Company to find a suitable time to fish out the gold. I will tell you where it is buried. Don't be suspicious of the people you use. It's better for you to protect the gold. For me,
Say, money is not as important as you." Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.
He can completely guess what these guys are thinking, and he knows that using the only resources at hand to change his future is a smarter way.
As for this batch of gold, Chen Mingxiang has no intention of handing it over to the Military Command Bureau yet. He just gave the bureau headquarters more than half a million US dollars, and now he is giving another ton of gold to make the financial people go into trouble. When they encounter financial difficulties, they
If you have to solve it yourself, even gold and silver cannot stand up to tens of thousands of people from the Military Command Bureau.
Sure enough, Chen Gongbo, who was seeking fame and reputation, was so flattered by the Shanghai media and philanthropists that he immediately decided to let the municipal government organize disaster relief activities. He believed that this was a shining point during his tenure as mayor and could greatly improve his career.
Prestige in the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
Chen Gongbo himself appointed himself as the director of the Municipal Government's Disaster Relief Affairs Committee, Chen Mingxiang as the deputy director, and the directors of the Eighth Bureau as members. He decided to allocate 200,000 French currency and purchase 1,000 shi of rice.
"Brother Mingxiang, it is up to you to negotiate with the Japanese army about the purchase of rice this time. The city government has no channels for this. I asked the Food Management Committee under the Executive Yuan, and they actually gave up a dime, saying that the demand in various places is too high.
, they are also stretched thin, it is simply unreasonable!”
"I believe in your ability. You must accomplish this beautifully and let the people of Shanghai see the determination and attitude of the municipal government. Although one thousand shi of rice is a bit small, plus the grain purchased with donations,
Rice and porridge are enough, and no one will starve to death around the Spring Festival." Chen Gongbo said.
"Since the mayor has a life, Mingxiang will naturally do his best to complete the task. Since it is disaster relief, don't worry too much about food. Just be able to make ends meet. Staying alive is the first priority."
"I'm thinking of a way to bring in some corn flour and bean flour from other provinces, and steam some steamed buns to make rations for the victims. It won't work without salt. People will not be able to bear it after a long time." Chen Mingxiang said.
A fundraising committee composed of "News Daily" and other media and philanthropists organized fundraising activities throughout Shanghai. Wang Zhen participated on behalf of Chen Mingxiang and donated 100,000 French currency.
At Chen Mingxiang's suggestion, the city police station used trucks to gather the poor people without houses into the factory area of Zhabei District, where only ruins were left after being bombed by Japanese aircraft.
The Social Affairs Bureau purchased multiple heating coal stoves and honeycomb briquette stoves for heating and cooking, and the coal used was obtained by Chen Mingxiang from the Ministry of Industry Bureau for his reputation.
"Editor-in-Chief Zheng, Chen Mingxiang told you that you newspapers should hurry up and write articles for Chen Gongbo. The bigger the momentum, the better." Wang Zhen said.
Two trucks from Huatong Trading Company arrived at the refugee gathering place, carrying slowly worn quilts and clothes, all of which were voluntarily donated by people in Shanghai.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, several of our newspapers will use front-page headlines every other day to vigorously promote Mayor Chen Gongbo's political achievements and Mr. Chen's great contributions to the people of Shanghai. Our professional capabilities are worthy of trust.
"Zheng Tonghui said with a smile.
Newspaper publishers don't know how to flatter people, that's a joke! Not only do they need to praise people, but they also need to offer flowers to those who eat the rice.
At the same time, Su Chengsheng also began to learn how to become a competent "bait" under the guidance of Li Qiao. There was still a lot for him to learn!
"After Nanzo Yunzi catches you, she will definitely use some non-invasive methods to destroy your body and will, because she knows the value of an arrested person. She will continue to hide and provide more intelligence, directly under the station of this military command organization.
The secret has an irresistible attraction for her."
"This female agent is very suspicious. You have to survive at least twenty-four hours of continuous interrogation before you can pretend that you can't stand it anymore and surrender. From exposing your identity to gaining trust, you are bound to be monitored. In this process,
I will appear in her sight to provide you with evidence."
"The direct-affiliated station will provide you with some not very important information, all about the behind-the-scenes transactions between Huatong Trading Company and the Kuomintang-controlled district. In fact, the most critical link is Chunfeng. If Nanzao Yunzi knows that the direct-affiliated station's webmaster codename is Chunfeng
, then everything will be led by our noses.”
"Human nature is inherently greedy, and you have to make your own demands, which must be big enough for her to believe, such as monthly activity funds and fees for each piece of information. Only in this way will she believe you." Li Qiao said.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner and according to plan. Under the repeated praise and bombardment of major newspapers and radio stations in Shanghai, Chen Gongbo attaches great importance to disaster relief. He actually put down his pretensions as mayor and took officials from the city government to inspect refugee gathering areas.
, he fully demonstrated his "people-friendly" image. For this reason, he gave Chen Mingxiang more and more resources.
"Mingxiang, the editor-in-chief Zheng who initiated and presided over the disaster relief work, seems to have a different identity. He is by no means an ordinary news media person. I feel that his words and deeds are somewhat similar to those of anti-Japanese people." Wang Zhen said to Chen Mingxiang.
She is the leader in the secret training class. Her keen observation and precise analysis skills make her suspicious of Zheng Tonghui's identity.
"Anti-Japanese people are nothing more than practitioners of the news media. They receive too much information and see many things. It is inevitable that their words will contain less obvious hostility. This is also the case for every Chinese with a conscience.
The character that a person should possess."
"As long as what you do is good and right for the people of Shanghai, you don't need to be too sensitive. There are people like this everywhere in Shanghai, but you only have very few contacts. As long as you walk around more,
, you will find more people like this." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
On January 20, the Japanese Military Police Command officially entered the public concession, took over the area previously occupied by the Army's 17th Independent Mixed Brigade, and announced a three-day household registration.
At this time, there were 5,865 foreign expatriates in the public settlement, including 5,865 British, 1,369 Americans, and 152 Dutch.
As the New Year is getting closer and closer, Chen Mingxiang is busier than usual, busy delivering gifts everywhere. Boss Dai sent a boatload of mountain goods, such as bamboo leaf green tea, Sichuan embroidery, bacon, watercress, pickles, etc., which are all very popular.
.
In addition, there is also a batch of jade from Myanmar, which is of very good quality and can be regarded as a relatively precious gift. This was transported to the mountain city from abroad by Chen Mingxiang's teacher Pan Qiwu by taking advantage of the convenience of the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
In order to show his support for Chen Mingxiang, Boss Dai gave him a special grant. After all, he gave more than half a million dollars to the Military Command Headquarters, so he had to get something in return.
