Chapter five hundred and eighty first help in the end

During the journey from Shanghai to Suzhou, Zheng Tonghui was really in a state of confusion. Without the crucial top secret, Chen Mingxiang would not have sent a car to take him to Suzhou. He probably couldn't get away if something happened.
There is no other way to contact the underground party, and it is not safe to make phone calls, so we can only use this method.
But the question is, if Chen Mingxiang is in Suzhou, what emergency will he encounter?
When the car drove to the Fenghua Company office, Zheng Tonghui pretended to be calm and walked into the garden house. He was led directly to a room on the second floor. When he walked in, he saw that it was still open.
The floor is covered with wooden floors and carpets, a crystal chandelier hangs from the roof, there is a sofa, a coffee table, a wine cabinet, and a gramophone playing music. Chen Mingxiang is guarding a table of sumptuous dishes in the inner room, drinking tea and smoking leisurely!
"Editor Zheng, you have worked hard all the way, sit down quickly!" Chen Mingxiang stood up and said enthusiastically.
"Mr. Chen is so polite. This is an opportunity for our newspaper. How dare you say it's hard work? I have to give you a toast and thank you for your favor." Zheng Tonghui said.
No matter how anxious he was, there were bodyguards present now, so he had to pretend to say a few polite words to avoid arousing unnecessary suspicion.
Chen Mingxiang waved his hand gently, and the bodyguard immediately went out and closed the door behind him.
"That's what happened. I had dinner with Japanese military officers at the Kiyosato Committee last night, and Ogasawara Kiyoshi from the Second Section of the Expeditionary Forces General Headquarters revealed an important piece of information."
"Ningji Okamura in North China is preparing to carry out a large-scale raid on the central Hebei region. The army is secretly gathering towards the attack target. Don't worry. The Japanese attack is scheduled for May 10th, and there are still ten days left.
Do evacuation and evacuation."
"The approximate scope of this sweep plan is the four adjacent counties in the north of Hengshui. I heard that they are Shenxian, Wuqiang, Raoyang and Anping, and there may be small nearby areas."
"The Japanese army's military deployment is as follows: the 110th Division and the 7th Independent Mixed Brigade directly under the jurisdiction of the First Army in Shanxi Province, the 41st Division and the 9th Independent Mixed Brigade, with a strength of 36,000 people
, the number of the Imperial Alliance Army is temporarily unknown.”
"Tomorrow morning you go to the silk weaving factory to take pictures and show it to others. After lunch, I will send a car to take you back. You should understand what I mean." Chen Mingxiang said.
Hearing that there were still ten days of preparation time, Zheng Tonghui finally breathed a sigh of relief, but this time was not enough to evacuate the local people, transfer production equipment and materials, arrange counter-mopping operations, etc.
But Chen Mingxiang has done his best. He can no longer cause trouble to others. He has made a great contribution to the base area. Chen Mingxiang should be credited, and he must be credited with great merit.
"Well, every time we meet in Shanghai, we have to end it in a short time. This is a rare opportunity. I was planning to ask for tips on doing business!" Zheng Tonghui said with a smile.
"Doing business? Is it to obtain purchasing funds? Well, I finally figured it out. In fact, you should have thought of this step a long time ago. Unfortunately, the current situation in the Shanghai stock market is too different from before. It is difficult to do business in all walks of life.
.”
"You can't get involved in the smuggling business. The underground party's discipline is very strict. You can't open gambling tables, opium dens, and entertainment venues. You can only start with industries that are necessary for daily life."
"In this way, find a good location to open a restaurant, decorate it in a more upscale manner, hire a few chefs with real skills, the food will taste good and come in many styles, and you can also cook Japanese dishes. I can set your restaurant as a designated reception
place."
"Such as the Social Bureau, Inspection Team, Foreign Affairs Office, Huatong Trading Company, etc., all the less important banquets are placed with you. You don't have to worry about the settlement. You go to the respective financial settlements once a week. I say hello in advance, and you can also make money.
Pay some money."
"I know that the underground party organizations are very poor. In order to persist in the war of resistance, most people probably have trouble even eating. Please help me to the end. Who asked me to give you this idea!"
"You borrow money from Wang Zhen to open the restaurant and pay it back within one year. I won't charge you interest. That's okay, right?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
At this time, there were only a few profiteering industries in Shanghai. The smuggling business had been divided up by Huatong Trading Company, government officials, military police officers and smugglers. It was impossible for outsiders to get meat from this industry.
No need to think about it.
Those shady underground industries are an excellent cover for the military and central government, and they are also a way to make money. However, the underground party has absolutely nothing to do with it. The principle cannot be broken. No matter what the circumstances, you must have your own
persistence.
As for a business like opening a restaurant, that doesn't matter. This is a very legitimate industry. As long as it is done well, it can also solve some financial problems.
Chen Mingxiang has very huge resources. Let’s put it this way, if he leaks a little bit from his fingers, there is no doubt that he can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month. He has a lot of entertainment expenses.
"Thank you Mr. Chen for your help. He first gave us such important information about the base area, and now he helps us earn funds. On behalf of the comrades of the underground party in Shanghai, thank you." Zheng Tonghui was also very happy.
This visit to Suzhou can be said to be fruitful. The most important thing is of course the news that the Japanese army carried out a large-scale raid on the base area in May. Next, the financial difficulties have also been solved. As long as Chen Mingxiang's attitude is slightly tilted, this restaurant will
Making money is inevitable.
"How is Kunyu's work in the Northeast?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"I heard from the leaders in the base area that Comrade Kunyu is much more mature than before in both his thinking and the way he works. He is slowly transforming and now has the characteristics of an underground worker."
"She also purchased some luxury goods through me in the French Concession in Shanghai a few days ago. She used them to build relationships and use the back door to infiltrate the enemy's social circle to obtain intelligence. The leading comrades of the local underground party spoke highly of her.
"Zheng Tonghui said.
"Haha, she learned this trick from following me, but from this point of view, she has indeed matured. She would never do such things by herself before, so there is progress!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
What did he rely on to get started? Or just rely on the back door to build relationships and use the huge benefits brought by Huatong Trading Company to tie important Japanese and puppet figures to himself. That's why he has such a good reputation. In the Shanghai stock market, almost
It depends on the wind and the rain, and facts have proven that this is the most concise and effective method.
Lu Kunyu has become more mature, and Chen Mingxiang is more relieved. He has been worried that this junior sister will not only pose a threat to the organization, but also face great danger himself because of her youthfulness.
Since she is determined to participate in the battle against the enemy, this is an unchangeable fact, then she can only hope to improve herself. During this period, it is not easy to survive in the underground construction of the Puppet Manchukuo.ntent
