Because of the war, the transportation between Shancheng and Shanghai City was very inconvenient. It took Chen Mingxiang half a month to obtain the personnel information of the Shanghai City Military Command from the contact point.
Chen Mingxiang knew at a glance that it was the work of his teacher Pan Qiwu. The photos were all secretly marked to let him know what the key points were. In other words, all the wealth in the Shanghai city was given to him.
The local stations of the military command are basically divided into four major sections: the Intelligence Section, the Action Team, the General Affairs Section, and the Telecommunications Section. In addition, there are the Personnel Section, the Confidentiality Section and other departments.
There is information on all officers at the major level and above, but only some of the officers at the lieutenant level, as well as some outstanding personnel in intelligence and operations, as well as civilian personnel in key departments.
The intelligence section in Shanghai City is divided into three groups, and the action team has three brigades. These members of the military command do not usually meet each other, and are responsible for contacting each other through the underground agencies in Shanghai City. Even if there is a problem in one line, it will not be
One pot was finished.
The Telecommunications Section, General Affairs Section and Human Resources Section of the agency are key departments. The people here are familiar with most of the members. If there is an accident, it will be a fatal blow to the Shanghai city.
Chen Mingxiang read it carefully three times, keeping these people in mind. He closed his eyes and combed through the information one by one to make sure there were no mistakes. Then he burned all the information.
"This is my old house. You and your family can live here with peace of mind. The phone is also installed. If you need anything, call my office at any time." Chen Mingxiang said.
He got in the car and sent Li Zhendong's family to his uncle's house on Yuyuan Road. Now he lives in a big house near Jing'an Temple, and he has nothing to do here.
Good people do their best, send Buddha to the West, and have already helped this family. It is better to be more thorough. Everything else is easy to say. It is not easy to find a place to live in Shanghai. It is overcrowded!
"My dear father-in-law, you are the reborn parent of our family. You have given us enough food and clothing to keep us warm. You have even considered a house. No matter what you want me to do in the future, I, Li Zhendong, will never give a shit!" Li Zhendong, who had just been discharged from the hospital, cried.
It was noisy.
"I'm not afraid that I won't have anything to do for you. Before that, you have to heal your injury. How can you work with one leg?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"My benefactor, if you don't mind it, I can do some work to the best of my ability." Xue Lin said.
"I know you have gone to school, but the background of Huatong Trading Company is very complicated. Let's find an old accountant who is proficient in this field to learn accounting. I am going to open two larger pharmacies and clinics in Shanghai.
I will let you take charge of the accounting matters at that time." Chen Mingxiang thought for a while and said.
This is a decision made after careful consideration. Not only is it because of the high profits of the drugs, but also because the Japanese and traitorous governments have too strict a blockade on drugs, and even more so on hospitals. In case a colleague of the military commander is injured and wants to find a safe rescue.
Every place is difficult, but this thing is easy for him.
"Mingxiang, how come even the Japanese have placed orders for rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chicken, duck, fish, vegetables, fruits and daily necessities? These things are easily available in the market, so why buy from us?"
Zhou Haiwen was a little dumbfounded when he looked at the order from a Japanese trading company.
"Don't worry about this. There is a conflict between the Japanese army and navy. The Marine Corps is caught in the middle and is not a human being. The military police headquarters has made a fuss about procurement. Regular customers are afraid to supply to them, so
That’s why we came up with such an alternative form.”
"You find two acquaintances to be responsible for this matter. They must do it secretly. The purchasing expenses are taken directly from the company, but they are not recorded in the account. A separate set of accounting books is made."
"In addition, the Marine Corps will probably only give us the cost price. Don't overpay when purchasing. We will lose money when the time comes. Fortunately, their volume is large and they have a fixed customer base, so they are somewhat profitable." Chen Mingxiang said helplessly.
For intelligence reasons, he must have a good relationship with the Marine Corps, but he was unwilling to do a business that would cost him money. Thinking about it made his head hurt.
"I've been wandering around the world for a long time. There's no way I won't get stabbed. You don't have to feel too bad. As long as you don't lose money, you can make a profit even if you make a small profit. By the way, I have found two shops that are suitable for opening pharmacies. One is near where you live in Jing'an Temple.
One is inside the concession, but the source of the medicine is a problem," Zhou Haiwen said.
This is Chen Mingxiang's own industry, and Zhou Haiwen also put his efforts into it. The Zhou family used Huatong Trading Company to sell large quantities of hardware tools and luxury goods to the Kuomintang-controlled area, making a lot of money.
"You first help find someone to decorate, build medicine cabinets, and advertise in newspapers to recruit Chinese medicine, Western medicine and nurses. I am going to open a pharmacy in Jing'an Temple and a clinic in the concession. Both sides will take care of each other. As for medicines, I will
Let’s deal with it.”
"There is no problem with Chinese medicine and it is not contraband, but the most valuable Western medicine is not easy to get. The Japanese don't even think about it. Their medicines are still tight!"
"There are two ways, one is to import raw materials and machines and make them ourselves, and the other is to directly purchase the finished products. I will contact the foreign companies in the afternoon." Chen Mingxiang said.
After more than three months of incubation at the beginning, Chen Mingxiang has completely passed the adaptation period and has begun to calm down and prepare for the future.
The mission of the Military Command Bureau is to continue fighting in Shanghai for a long time, and perhaps it will not end until the day the war is won. To this end, he wants to slowly build up industries, firstly to facilitate the execution of the mission, but also to create an illusion for others.
"Mr. Frederick, I am Chen Mingxiang, the manager of Huatong Trading Company. I am here to visit and want to discuss two business deals with your company." Chen Mingxiang shook hands with the tall Frederick and said.
"Mr. Chen is welcome to come and discuss business. Our company can provide a variety of high-quality goods, dyes, inks, machines, cars and accessories. I wonder what you need?" Frederick said.
Germans are so old-fashioned that they don't even say a few polite words and get straight to the point.
In fact, Chen Mingxiang really misunderstood Frederick. This German knew very well the power of Huatong Trading Company. It was the only company in the Shanghai stock market that could do business with the Kuomintang-controlled area without restrictions. Although this kind of thing was done relatively covertly, it was
After all, it was an act of deception, and everyone who should know knows what happened.
After the Japanese captured the Shanghai stock market, Japanese companies naturally followed the rising tide, and all businesses were given priority. This affected foreign companies and capital in other countries.
Frederick's Dehua Foreign Company was no exception. Its business volume plummeted. Now Chen Mingxiang took the initiative to come to the door. He was excited.
