Six hundred and fortieth chapters to clear the relationship
The ancestors said that when you are polite, you must ask for something. I asked you why you suddenly became so generous. It turns out that this is what happened!
Chen Mingxiang certainly understands what Li Shiqun means. If he wants to continue to maintain this special status and make the enemies of the Jinling government stare blankly, he must obtain the support of the Mei Agency.
To be precise, it was Matsui Kyutaro, the top military adviser, who supported Li Shiqun in all his work!
Because he is the chief of the Mei Agency, he is a position that can make the final decision for the Jinling government. No one can resist him, including Wang Jingwei.
However, Matsui Kutaro's attitude was a bit vague, neither saying he supported nor saying he didn't support. Li Shiqun really couldn't wait any longer. He needed to do some public relations work for the Mei Agency.
But the problem now is that there is no one in the secret service headquarters who can take on this job. The resources of the Mei Agency have always been occupied by himself. Others are not qualified, and it is impossible for him to let his subordinates have contact with the Mei Agency. Then
threaten his position.
If Li Shiqun contacts Matsui Kyutaro himself, there will be no room for change no matter whether it succeeds or not. After much deliberation, the most suitable person is Chen Mingxiang, and there is no semicolon in this family.
"Since the minister trusts me, I will definitely try my best to do this, but I can't rush. I have to find someone to find out about Matsui Kutaro's preferences first. I also have to contact other people in the Mei Agency to find out his general attitude."
Chen Mingxiang said.
At this point, it was impossible not to agree. Li Shiqun's gesture was to achieve this goal.
"This is what you should do. I feel relieved if you do this. It's not easy to get in touch with Matsui Kyutaro. I'm not in a hurry and I won't rush you. Just give me a satisfactory result before the end of the year."
"As for the cost in the process, I don't need you to bear it. I will give you five hundred thousand US dollars and one hundred large yellow croakers in the early stage, and then give you a batch of valuable antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and jade. If it's not enough, just ask." Li Shiqun said.
Be very generous.
"Minister, there is no need to give me so much. For the personnel of the Mei Agency, at most two hundred thousand dollars is enough. Things like antiques, calligraphy, paintings, jewelry and jades are fine. With Matsui Kyutaro's status at the moment, you can't buy him with money.
Chairman Wang can give him more," Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
When dealing with a top agent like Li Shiqun, it is safest to tell the truth. If you want to transfer money from him, you have to let him force it on you willingly. This is the correct way.
"Brother Mingxiang, this is why I trust you. You have a clear mind at all times. If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare give it to them if they dared to ask for it!"
"As long as Matsui Kutaro expresses his support for the Kiyogo Committee and agrees with the work of the Secret Service Headquarters, it is worth even one million U.S. dollars, not to mention half a million U.S. dollars."
"It used to be said that for three years to become a magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver would be earned. If one was to serve as the provincial chairman of Jiangsu Province for one year, one could earn back ten times that amount!" Li Shiqun said with a smile.
Chen Mingxiang believed that these were Li Shiqun's sincere words. From this, we could see how much money this big traitor could make from his positions as director of the secret service headquarters, secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee, and provincial chairman. Five hundred thousand dollars could be so easy.
Take it out!
Of course, for Chen Mingxiang, even five million U.S. dollars, let alone five hundred thousand U.S. dollars, cannot scare him. He is used to big money owners, and the wealth he has earned is beyond what others can imagine.
Why use the US dollar as a means?
Legal currency is definitely not acceptable. There is no way to spend it in central China. If you give us China Reserve Certificates, 10,000 US dollars is 300,000 China Reserve Certificates. Although the official ratio is not like this, it is the fact that a lot of banknotes are depreciating every day.
No more sincerity.
Besides, there is no exchange business between China Reserve Bank bonds and U.S. dollars. The reserves of the entire China Reserve Bank are only a few million US dollars in foreign exchange.
The US dollar is the currency with the highest value and the most easily accepted currency. It is used almost all over the world. The Japanese like the yen, but it is difficult to get it in central China.
"You got a lot of money tonight, a big villa and half a million US dollars. As far as I know, this may be the most generous thing Li Shiqun has ever done." Wang Zhen said, looking at the dollars in his suitcase.
Everyone else gave money to Li Shiqun, but Chen Mingxiang was able to get money from Li Shiqun. Money was a trivial matter, but the key was that it reflected Chen Mingxiang's value, and Li Shiqun had to use him to get closer to Mei agencies.
The agents of the Military Command Bureau are proud to be able to get into this situation, and it also shows that the path Chen Mingxiang chose at the beginning was right. In the face of economic interests, there are few enemies who cannot be defeated.
"I haven't seen the money. I gave red envelopes to those in the Mei Agency, including Cheng Yi who left Yingzuo Zhenzhao. In the blink of an eye, it was one hundred thousand dollars. I gave gifts to Zhou Fahai, which was two hundred thousand dollars at a time. Let me tell you, Li Shiqun
It’s not easy to get money.”
"This also shows that he is really panicked and is eager to find a backer in Japan, but I need to ask Boss Dai for instructions on whether to handle this matter for him."
"The most critical question is whether Li Shiqun will collapse after Yingzuo Zhenzhao and Qingqi Qingyin leave. This is what I need to consider. If the Japanese don't want to touch him for the time being, I have not yet given him a satisfactory solution.
As a result, everything in Suzhou will be hindered."
"But if I help him, once the Mei Agency shows support for Li Shiqun, this guy is likely to successfully survive Matsui Kyutaro's term. This is also not a good thing for our Military Command Bureau." Chen Mingxiang said with a frown.
"Are you so confident that you can deal with Kyutaro Matsui? He is the top military adviser of Wang's puppet government, a lieutenant general of the Japanese army, and he used to be the top military adviser of the puppet Manchukuo." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
Matsui Kutaro served as the top military adviser to the Wang Puppet Government for a short time. Chen Mingxiang only had a preliminary connection with him, and it was due to the introduction of Kage Sasaki, and the two parties had no contact.
It is indeed not easy to get Matsui Kutaro to clearly express his support for the Secret Service Headquarters, the Qingxiang Committee, and the work of Jiangsu Province.
"As long as people are human, they have their own weaknesses. There is no fortress that cannot be broken, and there is no one who cannot be conquered. Matsui Kyutaro does not like money. He may like antique calligraphy and painting, but he may not like antique calligraphy and painting, or he may like jewelry and jade. Materials cannot handle him.
Then use your connections and there will always be appropriate channels to contact him."
"My three major textile factories in Suzhou are related to the exchange of strategic materials with the Kuomintang-controlled areas, and Huatong Trading Company's main supplier is the Thirteenth Army. The Central China area where the Wang Puppet Government is located, mainly the Thirteenth Army.
I can definitely take advantage of this level of interest and ask the Thirteenth Army Headquarters to coordinate."
"The General Headquarters of the Japanese Expeditionary Forces has a need for Huatong Trading Company, and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute also has a need. The Mei agency is still a secret service agency in essence, and must consider the idea of a military police system. The Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai can also say
There are plenty of suggestions and methods," Chen Mingxiang said.
