But seeing that Zheng Tonghui insisted on a fair deal, Chen Mingxiang made a joke with him. This also showed that the underground party was unwilling to owe him any more favors. Unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it!
Zheng Tonghui almost fainted when he heard the price. One hundred thousand dollars?
It's not that Chen Mingxiang is talking too much, even if he has two hundred thousand US dollars, he has nowhere to buy these precious western medicines. This is definitely a conscientious price.
But now he can't even get out 100,000 China Reserve Certificates. Even though he looks like a suitor and leather shoes, in fact he can't even afford vegetables at home, and the rice he eats is low-priced rice bought from Chen Mingxiang's grain store.
"Mr. Chen, it turns out you are joking with me!" He was sweating a little when he suddenly saw Chen Mingxiang's sly smile and suddenly realized.
"You owe me the money for now, and we will settle the accounts slowly after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. To be honest, this batch of medicines was hard-earned. I'm afraid we won't have such an opportunity in the future. We should cherish it even more when using it."
"Please give me an answer as soon as possible as to where it will be shipped. I will help anyone who can. Who wants me to be labeled a traitor? I have to make atonement for my sins!" Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.
The second sentence is also a joke. Only a few senior members of the underground party must know such a confidential matter. In the eyes of most comrades of the underground party, he is still the "traitor" who was commended by the emperor, but he has not yet reached the level of a "traitor"
.
Boss Dai from Shancheng was also looking at the 150 boxes of Western medicine sent from Shanghai. Although Chen Mingxiang didn't say how he got it, the process must have been quite difficult.
Dai Li admired Chen Mingxiang's point of view very much. He never complained about the difficulties assigned by his superiors, and tried every means to complete the tasks. He always thought of the front and did everything.
"The expeditionary force has been defeated and withdrawn from the battlefield. Part of it has withdrawn to India and part of it has withdrawn to Yunnan Province. It is estimated that these medicines will no longer be used," Mao Renfeng said.
Naturally, Britain and the United States were responsible for supplying medicines to the expeditionary force that entered India. For the expeditionary force that retreated to Yunnan Province, the pharmaceutical assistance received by the mountain city government was sufficient, and the demand for quinine was not so tight.
"Yes, it's all the fault of those damn British troops who went against the battle plan formulated by both sides, resulting in the casualties of more than half of the 103,000-strong expeditionary force. After receiving news from the front, the commander of the 200th Division, General Dai,
He was seriously injured and may not survive." Dai Li said angrily.
Not only was he angry about the British's performance, but the old man also slapped the table and scolded his mother. He was really out of touch. Cooperating with such a teammate simply put him in a big hole.
The expeditionary force dispatched this time were elites from the mountain city government, and more than 50,000 elites were lost. The distressed old man could not feel relieved for several days.
"I suggest that these scarce Western medicines sent by Chunfeng be disposed of by those connected with the Military Command Bureau. This way we can get tens of millions of dollars, temporarily ease the financial situation of the headquarters, and allocate funds to Chunfeng as quickly as possible.
He may have misappropriated the company's expenses for this."
"Director Xu of the Seventh Division has been complaining to me since the beginning of the month, saying that the funds allocated by the Military Supplies Department are really not enough for expenses. Applications for write-offs are being made everywhere, and he can't plug the hole." Mao Renfeng said.
Some words can only be said by him, the secretary-director. It is said that if Chunfeng has achieved such an achievement, as long as the bureau headquarters turns over all the medicines, it will definitely be a great achievement, and the committee will definitely be rewarded if they are happy.
But reality forced Mao Renfeng to suppress this credit. It was very simple. The bureau headquarters encountered funding problems. Expenditures were too high and funds were too little. The seventh branch, the manager's office, was currently stretched thin and exhausted. There was really no other way.
Although supported by the profits of Huatong Trading Company and the old man's special funding for the Military Control Bureau, Boss Dai was able to get part of it from the bank, but the gap was still huge. As the secretary-director of the second-ranking figure, he started to fight
Got the idea for this batch of Western medicine.
Chunfeng is from the Military Command Bureau, and his resources are the Military Command Bureau's resources. He can only accept whatever Shangfeng does.
"Turn over all the sulfonamides. Now the Second War Zone is fighting the Japanese army in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. The wounded need a lot of western medicine. Half of the quinine will be handed over. The rest will be done as you wish!"
"Everything has its priorities, and there are ways to solve financial problems. If you lose the trust of the committee, no amount of money can be spent to get it back." Dai Li shook his head and said.
"This time Dongfeng and the directly affiliated station achieved a lot. First, the Operations Section 1 assassinated Soichiro Ueda, the president of the Shanghai branch of the Japan Textile Industry Association, and then the Operations Section 2 dealt with Zhou Xiyuan, the number one traitor in Shanghai District 1."
"According to the cable, he wanted to move all three large textile factories in Shanghai to Suzhou. To this end, the Japanese army also gave away a batch of machinery and equipment from British and American textile factories for free," Mao Renfeng said.
It is the job of the secretary-general to make suggestions, and it is Boss Dai's business to adopt them or not. In fact, he is not willing to erase Chen Mingxiang's contribution. This is a talent he is very optimistic about and will be put to great use in the future.
"I can guess what he meant. One reason is that the Shanghai market environment does not allow it and the Japanese military control is too strong. There is a conflict of interest between his textile factory and Japanese textile companies."
"The second reason is that he is a little far away from Li Shiqun, which affects their private cooperation. Even if there is an opportunity, they cannot seize it. With this matter, the two of them can be tied together by interests." Dai Li said.
At this moment, the secretary knocked on the door and came in, handing a telegram to Dai Li. When he took it over and looked at it, he immediately frowned, looking a little hesitant.
"Boss, what happened?" Mao Renfeng asked.
"See for yourself. This matter is quite difficult. If it breaks out, it will be a big scandal. It will be difficult to deal with!" Dai Li handed the message to Mao Renfeng.
This was an urgent telegram from Pan Qiwu. When the war broke out in Myanmar, he was ordered to retreat to Yunnan Province to serve as the inspector of the Chuncheng Station of the Military Unification Bureau. In fact, he secretly supervised the transportation of goods on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and actually discovered a huge smuggling operation.
case.
Zhang Dewu, a businessman from a company called Dacheng Enterprise Company in Shancheng, purchased goods worth 30 million yuan in Myanmar, mostly hardware and tires, as well as a number of luxury goods from the United Kingdom and the United States.
Because of the tight war ahead, a large amount of strategic materials need to be withdrawn to Yunnan Province. With the military giving priority, ordinary people have encountered great difficulties in transporting goods. Moreover, if you follow the normal registration procedures, you will need to pay high taxes.
of.
In order to smuggle this batch of goods to the mountain city and make huge profits, the smuggler colluded with Lin Shiliang, the manager of the transportation department of the Central Trust Bureau of the mountain city government, and handled the transportation in the name of the official goods of the Central Trust Bureau. However, this matter was discovered by the agents of the Military Command Bureau and reported to the police.
