Chapter 615 Make Up for the Last Shortcoming 2 (Seeking a Monthly Pass)
"Your Excellency General, Chen Mingxiang, the foreign affairs commissioner of the municipal government, is here to visit!" the clerk said at the door. https:
"I knew that Mr. Chen would definitely come to give His Majesty the General a gift, and it must be a generous gift. He has always done things impeccably, and his level of hospitality is much better than that of Li Shiqun. His relationships in all aspects are in place. That is
I'm a little too narrow-minded." Qingqi Zhongzuo said with a smile.
He now has a much closer relationship with Chen Mingxiang. The key is that we are all involved in interests. For Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi, although Chen Mingxiang pursues wealth, he is not a miser. He understands the principle of sharing interests and bundling them. Such a person is worth making friends with.
But Li Shiqun, including Ye Jiqing, is far behind in this aspect. How can I put it, these two people regard money as too important, which is in sharp contrast to Chen Mingxiang.
"Talents with shortcomings are easy to control. Don't Chinese people always say that no one is perfect without gold? Chen Jun likes money but is generous with it and knows how to use the value of money. Such people are smart people."
"I guess that Su Chengde, who had a conflict with him, will definitely end badly, and may even lose his life." Yingzuo Zhenzhao also said with a smile.
The conflict between Chen Mingxiang and Su Chengde in a restaurant in Jinling spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jinling City, and Yingzuo Zhenzhao must have known about it.
Although he majored in artillery, he had worked in intelligence work for fourteen years. He knew many things about Li Shiqun and Lieutenant Commander Qingqi, but he had never mentioned them. He was very scheming.
Hearing that Chen Mingxiang was coming, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was so proud this time that he actually stood up and walked to the door.
This standard of reception was quite high for him. Normally, only a few major traitors in Wang's puppet government, such as Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fahai, could receive such treatment.
It's not that Ying Zuo Zhenzhao was leaving so he received visitors like this. After all, he was a major general of the Japanese army and had his own pride.
The reason why he made the exception was that he felt that it was a good etiquette for Chen Mingxiang to come to visit at this time. He didn't see him being transferred, so there was a situation where people would leave without seeing each other.
"Your Excellency General, I am really ashamed that I have not come to visit you until now. Although I have not had much contact with you, I am still your subordinate. According to Chinese customs, I have prepared a meager amount of money. Please do not see anyone outside.
." Chen Mingxiang said after sitting down.
Cheng Yi is an ancient term for travel expenses. However, although Chen Mingxiang said it was meager, in fact it was extremely expensive. In addition to 20,000 US dollars, a golden Buddha more than half a foot tall, 20 large yellow croakers and three jade objects
, there are also ten pounds of bamboo leaf green tea and a set of exquisite purple clay tea sets with ancient charm.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Chen, for your gift. It's just that I am no longer the top military adviser, and I will leave Shanghai in three days to serve as the artillery commander in the Northeast. I can't help you much. Such an expensive gift is really unacceptable."
Shame on you!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao lamented Chen Mingxiang's generosity, which was much more valuable than Li Shiqun's gift.
"Your Excellency, General, without your hard work and hard work, I would not have the opportunity I have now. You created the Jinling government with your own hands. I admire your strategic vision very much, and I would not dare to use these mundane things as an excuse to interact with you."
The way."
"But when you transfer to the military in the future, you will have to lead troops to fight. During this separation, you may take on important responsibilities in any part of the empire's ruled areas. I don't know when you will be able to listen to the teachings. Naturally, I must cherish this opportunity."
"If your Excellency the General agrees, I will hold a grand farewell reception for you at the club of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Municipal Government. You are the guide of the Jinling Government, so you should leave Shanghai in glory. This can also avoid certain...
Speculations and misunderstandings.”
"When you arrive in the Northeast, tell me your address. I will send you bamboo leaf green tea every three months. I will also prepare some expensive red wine and cigars. The living standards in the Northeast are low and cannot be compared with those in Shanghai.
"Chen Mingxiang said.
Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi listened with great admiration. Look at his language organization ability. It would be a miracle if he could not reach the level he is now!
Not everyone has the generosity of Chen Mingxiang. After the handover ceremony between Kage Sasaki and the new top military adviser Matsui Kutaro in Jinling, the leading figures in the Jinling government all gave gifts. His words may have been nicer than Chen Mingxiang's, but he didn't feel like they were the same.
To the point.
Not only did Chen Mingxiang give expensive gifts, he was also able to consider issues from Yingzuo Zhenzhao's own perspective. Whether it was tea and luxury goods in details, or a large cocktail party, this kind of thought is rare.
"Chen Jun is interested. I'll leave this matter to you! Although Matsui-kun has taken over the position of director and top military adviser of the Mei Agency, the consultants of the Mei Agency in the Jinling Government will not have any big problems.
Variety."
"While Matsui-kun is having a meeting in Shanghai this time, I will give you a formal introduction. He will be of great help to you in the future. In addition, the consultants from the Mei Agency will also take more care of you for my sake."
, I can’t do much for you, it’s just my little reward!” Yingzuo Zhenzhao said with a smile.
This means that he agreed to Chen Mingxiang's farewell party for him. He didn't want to leave the Shanghai stock market as a loser. Although there was a suspicion of being deceived, it was still a consolation.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao himself also knew that he had now lost the ability to help Chen Mingxiang, and the only resource he could use was the Meiji faction he had single-handedly operated.
Even though he left the secret service, most people still bought into it. Without his guidance and care, these people would not have had the chance to enter the Mei Agency.
As for the expenses of holding the reception, neither of them need to mention it. Even if the city government does not handle this expense, the Mei Agency can handle it. Besides, neither Chen Gongbo nor Matsui Kutaro would care about such a trivial matter.
"Thank you, General, for your consideration and cultivation. I will never forget it. I hope I will have the opportunity to work under you in the future," Chen Mingxiang said.
This cold stove cooks so well, and the return far exceeds his expectations. Even though Yingzuo Zhenzhao only formally introduced the people from the Mei Agency at the reception, he knew the huge value contained in it, and it was not money.
to measure.
The advisers of Mei's agency exist in every core department of Wang's puppet government, and they all hold real power. Without their approval, Wang's puppet government cannot operate normally. This is definitely not a joke.
It can be said that Chen Mingxiang has been relatively smooth since he lurked in the Shanghai stock market. The only Japanese intelligence agency and secret service agency that has not yet been opened is the Mei Agency. This has always been his shortcoming.
Kage Sasaki's help this time has perfectly made up for the shortcomings of the intelligence network, which will have a great impact on the future.
It wasn't that Chen Mingxiang didn't want to get in touch with Yingzuo Zhenzhao, but he had no choice but to do so. Meiji was Li Shiqun's private area, and it was inconvenient for him to get too close to avoid misunderstandings.
