Five hundred and twentieth eight chapters wind is rising two
"Brother Mingxiang, Sibao's death was too sudden, and something happened just after arriving in Suzhou. The secret service headquarters has caused panic. You must have heard a lot of opinions in the past few days, right?" Li Shiqun and his wife
Came to the Bank of China branch.
Chen Mingxiang spent a lot of money to decorate this garden house in a Western style. The furniture and appliances are all foreign goods from foreign stores. Those who didn't know it thought they were in the home of a wealthy foreign businessman.
Wang Zhen naturally assumed the responsibility of the hostess, made a pot of tea for the two of them, and then sat aside to talk to Ye Jiqing.
She comes from a large family in Jinling. She has received a good upbringing since she was a child. Coupled with the influence of the new education, she has a new style of womanhood in her words and deeds. Her elegant conversation has won Ye Jiqing's favor.
She also knew that Chen Mingxiang’s lover was from a noble family, and now she felt it for herself that she was different from ordinary women. The temperament of many generations had accumulated!
"Minister, since this matter cannot be explained clearly, why should you care about what others say? The more eager you are to defend yourself, the more they will criticize you and ignore them, and the matter will soon be over." Chen Mingxiang
Said with a smile.
"That's indeed the truth. What worries me more now is another thing. The Guard Corps is leaderless right now. The Four Guards have just been buried, and all the brigades are in chaos."
"Although She Aizhen and Pan Tao are maintaining the situation, they are obviously not as intimidating as the four guarantees. In order to compete for territory and profits, this group of people quarreled every day and even got involved." Li Shiqun said.
In order to repay Wu Sibao's loyalty, he gave the most prosperous places in Shanghai to the Guard Corps. In terms of pure income, a hundred action corps cannot compare to one Guard Corps.
In the past, Wu Sibao led this group of local ruffians. This guy was evil-minded, and with the help of She Aizhen and Pan Tao, the people in the guard corps were very honest, but Wu Sibao really dared to kill people.
Now that Wu Sibao is dead, those bastards who have been suppressed for a long time have begun to rebel. They all want to get the fattest meat from the pot. Brotherhood and face are not as valuable as gold and silver.
"The Secret Service Headquarters is full of talented people right now. If you arrange a captain to restrain them, won't the matter be solved?" Chen Mingxiang didn't want to get involved because he was afraid that he would be called an ancestor by the common people.
"Brother, to be honest with you, I really don't have the right person. The Action Corps and the Guard Corps are incompatible. Lin Zhijiang and Zhang Jinlu are not suitable. The other capable ones are all responsible for the secret service headquarters.
The important task of developing territory cannot be withdrawn for the time being."
"I know you don't want to come into contact with these lawless bastards, but in terms of deterrence, there is really no second choice. You have to share the burden for me this time, as a favor to me."
"You are now holding many positions. I will not add any more positions to you, but I will issue an order and you will be fully responsible for the Guard Corps. You will consider how to arrange it. I believe no one dares to disobey you."
Li Shiqun said.
Everyone knows that Chen Mingxiang likes making money the most and is not very enthusiastic about power. The Guard Corps was brought into disrepute by Wu Sibao and others, so he naturally stayed away.
But the problem is, Li Shiqun really has no choice. Chen Mingxiang said something, which represents the meaning of the Military Police Headquarters. These damn bastards dare not disobey. If it were anyone else, even Fu Yewen, the Secretary-General, would not be qualified.
"The minister has said everything to this extent. If I don't agree, I will be disrespectful. Well, I will take over this mess for the time being." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Zhou Fahai and Ding Mocun came to Shanghai this afternoon, and they are getting closer and closer," Li Shiqun said.
"Is Minister Zhou going to make any big move again? I heard that China Reserve Bonds will replace legal tender. The Ministry of Finance has been communicating with Xingya Yuan on this matter. The ratio requested by the Japanese is too high, and Minister Zhou firmly refuses to agree.
It was a stalemate for a long time," Chen Mingxiang said.
"Legal currency cannot be circulated in Shanghai and surrounding provinces, but it can be circulated in Chiang Kai-shek District. Brother, this is our opportunity!" Li Shiqun said with a smile.
I dare you to come to me tonight because of the legal currency matter. Damn it, you should have told me earlier. Doing so much foreshadowing makes your balls hurt?
The use of China Reserve Bonds to exchange for legal tender must be done in a bank, but Li Shiqun held the financial power of Jiangsu Province and probably controlled several banks. There was already a Lita Bank with the secret agent headquarters in Shanghai.
The reason why the Japanese army agreed to use China Reserve Bonds to replace legal currency was because after occupying the public concession and the port city, the foreign exchange market of the mountain city government was gone. It was no longer possible to exchange foreign currency with legal currency, so it wanted to use the baseless Chinese currency.
Reserve bonds are used as a tool to exploit and squeeze the Chinese people.
Once the use of legal currency is prohibited, the Japanese army can use the large amounts of confiscated and exchanged legal currency to purchase strategic materials from the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and it can also cause the legal currency to fall significantly. This strategy is really vicious.
"This is an opportunity for the minister. How could I dare to join in the fun? Besides, the legal currency exchanged was at most allocated to me by the Japanese to purchase supplies. I don't have private channels." Chen Mingxiang said.
"My opportunity is your opportunity. Southeast Trading Company's channels in Chiang Kai-shek District are not as powerful as Huatong Trading Company. I will use some tricks during the exchange, and you will handle this matter."
"Use Huatong Trading Company for normal purchases, and use Southeast Trading Company to exchange materials. We will split the profits in half, but we must not let the Japanese get wind of this matter." Li Shiqun said with a smile.
Where do the funds for the secret service headquarters come from?
It all relied on the Southeast Trading Company and the smuggling trade in the Kuomintang-controlled areas to transport the materials needed by the Japanese army to the Shanghai market, where they were purchased by Japanese companies and converted into coins. This was also controlled by the Mei Agency.
Of course Chen Mingxiang had to agree. He needed a large amount of materials to be imported into the Kuomintang-controlled areas and a large amount of funds to support the Military Command Bureau. Since Li Shiqun was willing to make a fortune with him, why not?
After Li Shiqun and his wife left, Chen Mingxiang lay down on the sofa in a very shameless manner. It was not that he wanted something to happen, but that Wang Zhen wanted to receive a message from the bureau headquarters.
"Boss Dai sent you a special commendation order for your ability to use the gold robbery to eradicate the executioner Wu Sibao, and appointed you as the colonel of the Shanghai Municipal Station of the Military Command Bureau." A few minutes later, Wang Zhen came downstairs and said.
.
"Did you report this little thing to Boss Dai?" Chen Mingxiang was a little reluctant.
"The directors of our two intelligence departments are both colonels, but your deputy station chief is just a lieutenant colonel. Without an excuse, if Boss Dai promotes you out of thin air, the effect will be compromised." Wang Zhen rolled his eyes at him.
"It's just a job title. I really don't pay attention to the so-called colonel and station commander. When can I become a colonel in the Quanxu Army and actually serve as the station commander directly under the station? That's called messy capital!" Chen Mingxiang laughed!
