"Captain Murano, who is this gentleman?" Yoshiko Kawashima asked with a smile.
Because of their special power and status, the Japanese military police have become a very arrogant group. Naohiro Murano, who is the captain of the Tsucheng military police, is the military police commander and is at the general level in the Japanese army. It is rare to see him entertaining someone alone.
"This is Chen Mingxiang, the boss of the Huatong Trading Company of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, the Police Director of the Ministry of Interior of the Jinling Government, the Deputy Director of the Social Affairs Bureau of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, the Foreign Affairs Commissioner and the General Affairs Director of the Security Command. His duties
There are too many, so I won’t tell you one by one. You must have heard about him, right?” Naohiro Murano said with a smile.
This man who looks gentle, elegant and has an extraordinary bearing turns out to be Chen Mingxiang!
"It was Mr. Chen who came here. Not only did I hear about it, it was like thunder!" Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.
As a veteran spy, Kawashima Yoshiko not only has strong intelligence collection capabilities, but also has a wide range of information channels. Of course she knows Chen Mingxiang's name.
A direct descendant of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai and a confidant of Mayor Chen Gongbo, he was also favored by the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army in Central China. The General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces looked at him differently and had an unusual relationship with the Mei Agency and the Army Ministry's secret service in Shanghai.
The celebrity of the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai has a very high status.
Strictly speaking, this guy is not an intelligence agent. His identity is closer to that of a government official or businessman. He is the largest smuggler in Shanghai and even Central China. He is a branch of Huatong Trading Company. Now he has reached out to North China, in Peking.
There are branches and offices in Jincheng.
Especially the recent news in Jincheng cannot be hidden from her. The Japanese army used trains to transport a large amount of coal from Kailuan Coal Mine. The local briquette factory in Jincheng and a newly opened briquette factory near the port are making briquettes day and night.
, this matter was handled by the Jincheng office of the Peiping Branch of Huatong Trading Company.
Coal is a controlled material of the Japanese army, and ordinary people will never get involved, but this guy can get permission and is escorted by the gendarmerie. From this, it can be concluded that the relationship with the dispatched gendarmerie headquarters in North China has long been established. This Murano
Military Police Colonel Naohiro probably also benefited a lot, so he treated him warmly.
"Miss Kawashima is overrated. I am not a small person who works for the imperial army. I am not worthy of praise for my shallow fame. On the contrary, Miss Kawashima, you are from a prominent royal bloodline. You are famous outside the customs and in North China. You played an important role in the formation of Manchukuo.
Da Gong is the most valued spy flower of the imperial army, I have admired him for a long time." Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.
This was clearly a scolding that she had forgotten her ancestors, colluded with the Japanese army and worked for Japan, and was a traitor and traitor that everyone reviled. However, if interpreted literally, it was indeed a compliment, and neither Yoshiko Kawashima nor Naohiro Murano heard it.
"Where does Mr. Chen live? If you don't mind, our guest room in Dongxing Building is not bad, and it is one of the best in the Japanese Concession." Kawashima Yoshiko said.
Her biggest backer is Shun Tada, the previous commander of the North China Front, but Shun Tada has now been transferred to the reserve. Just like Murano Naohiro said, she has no value and has fallen out of favor with the Japanese military. Now is a downturn.
Not as beautiful as before?
Chen Mingxiang didn't know that Kawashima Yoshiko's life was a bit embarrassing at the moment. Because she had no status or position, she couldn't get funding. She had always spent money lavishly, so she was not used to such a life and always wanted to find new sources of money.
, to support their high consumption.
Cheating and kidnapping is not a long-term solution. The arrival of Chen Mingxiang gave her a glimmer of hope. He was the God of Wealth. With just a little leakage between his fingers, she could continue her luxurious life.
"Miss Kawashima, I have already reserved a room for Chen Jun at the Yamato Hotel, so I won't bother you anymore," Naohiro Murano said.
The briquette factory near Jincheng Port has no sign, and Japanese military police are on patrol here. The coal yard is piled with mountains of coal, and the manufacturing site has high piles of loess. Accompanied by the huge roar of thirty machines,
Briquettes are being produced continuously.
Sun Dingxin has to go back and forth to various briquette factories every day. This is the first sale of the Peiping branch and the Jincheng office. It is also a relatively stable source of income. Of course he will take it seriously.
Not only did the military policemen on duty nodded and bowed, but even the workers in the briquettes factory worked harder when they heard the big boss was coming. There was one family in Tianjin, and no one could compare with this one.
The monthly salary of fifty yuan bank coupons is neither high nor low. The factory provides a full meal for breakfast, lunch and dinner, including cornmeal steamed buns, pickles, and rice porridge. There are actually benefits. The standard for one month is
A pound of coarse salt, a pound of cane sugar, a towel, two bars of soap and ten boxes of matches.
Not only that, the briquette factory freed up two rows of warehouses to serve as dormitories, and they were given a tea cup and enough tea and water pipes. Where can I find such environmental treatment?
"We have 60 briquette machines so far, producing about 9,000 tons of briquettes every day, which will be 270,000 tons a month, which can fully meet the minimum needs. If you give me more machines, we will definitely have more
More profits." Sun Dingxin said.
"We can only produce a maximum of 300,000 tons per month, which is the limit of the market. No matter how much we produce, Japanese and Chinese businessmen in the Shanghai coal industry are still not allowed to eat me raw with sauce?"
"The production order of the entire briquette factory is in order, busy but not panicked. Manager Sun, I have seen your ability and you have lived up to the high salary I offered you." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"Boss, you have cleared up all the key links. We have enough coal, water and electricity, and high wages can recruit a large number of workers. There is no need to worry about sales. I am only responsible for production. If I can't even do this well, then
I have no shame staying here." Sun Dingxin said.
The manager of his office is specifically responsible for production, transportation, raw materials and sales. Chen Mingxiang controls it. It's not that he is worried about him, but that he really doesn't have such ability. He only has Chen Mingxiang in all relationships.
"I have decided to officially start selling briquettes on the 15th of next month. The cargo ship will arrive at Jincheng Port on the 5th. This is also your production deadline. Transport 200,000 tons of briquettes to the port in advance. Loading and unloading workers will be found in advance. Nine
The cargo ship No. 1 must set off, and we must not delay the sales there." Chen Mingxiang said.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. I'll say hello to the military police unit at the dock in advance and prepare enough stevedores for you to ensure that the departure of the cargo ship is not delayed," Naohiro Murano said.
The shipment of goods at the port is basically carried by manpower. For things like briquettes, one person can load a basket of briquettes per load, and a hundred kilograms of briquettes can be loaded onto the ship at a time.
The brutal Japanese army requisitioned more than a thousand civilians in Jincheng. Two hundred thousand tons of briquettes sounds like a lot, but it actually took less than two days.
