Kojima Nariko, who has a sallow complexion and unkempt hair, was released from the prison at the Military Police Headquarters. Within a month, although her will was not broken, she perfectly explained what it means to be strong but not to overwhelm local snakes. She wanted to be in Central China.
She simply doesn't have this ability to deal with Chen Mingxiang.
Along the way, Kojima Nariko felt a little sad when she saw her military police pointing at her with undisguised disgust. She was serving His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire. This was not a personal grudge, but she was treated like this. It was really frustrating.
People are chilling.
There was no one to pick her up at the gate. It was supposed that the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai had notified the Mei agency. It was obvious that Lieutenant General Matsui had given up on her.
The rules of the game in the intelligence service have always been like this. No matter how inferior your methods are, as long as you get a good result, it is correct. Otherwise, you are bullshit. Losers will not get mercy in this profession.
Kojima Nariko hailed a rickshaw and returned to the headquarters of the Mei Agency's intelligence department in Hongkou District, Shanghai. Her colleagues paid for the fare.
It's not that she has no money, but she just came out of prison and she really doesn't have a penny on her. This is a trivial matter. The indifference shown by her colleagues is the source of her pain.
"She is an abandoned child now. The Mei government will not equip her with a special vehicle. The only way to leave Shanghai is to take a train. First go to Jinling, then from Jinling to Pengcheng, and then from Pengcheng into Henan Province. This is the fastest way.
mode of transportation." Someone said, standing not far from the office.
"I think so too. There are brothers watching at the station. She is too familiar to us. Miss Kawashima means to wait for her to arrive in Yu Province before taking action after a while, pretending to be an action team of the Military Command Bureau.
After the event is completed, I will be rewarded with 10,000 banknotes." said the person next to me.
These two are Kawashima Yoshiko's subordinates. Although she is now powerless, she still has some power in her hands. It may not be enough to do big things, but it is no problem to kill someone.
Chen Mingxiang knocked down the high-ranking Kojima Nariko. Kawashima Yoshiko naturally cherished this opportunity. If she were in North China, even if she could kill this female spy, she would be in big trouble. Everyone knows the two of them.
, I’m afraid the first suspect is her.
It would be okay to kill Nariko Kojima in Central China. Who would have thought that she would not forget her hatred in such a situation, and would even travel thousands of miles to kill people in the borders of Henan Province?
"I understand, don't worry about her. Since she has fallen to this point, she probably won't pose any threat to us in the future." After Chen Mingxiang finished speaking, he put down the phone.
At this time, he was drinking tea and chatting with Li Shiqun in the Suzhou office. Since he came to Suzhou, he would also take care of the salt affairs.
It is said that before the Central China Salt Co., Ltd. was acquired, the sales of salt in Central China were still controlled by Japanese businessmen, but Chen Mingxiang was an exception.
Considering its serious lack of transportation capacity, the Japanese salt merchant has actually given the sales rights to Chen Mingxiang in advance. As long as the transportation of salt can be guaranteed, Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. will not care where he is willing to open up the market.
This is somewhat of a favor to Chen Mingxiang. Who doesn't know that this guy belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Since the Xingya Institute has been abolished, the Consulate General in Shanghai will take over the functions of the Central China Liaison Department and belong to the immediate boss of the national policy enterprise.
"What happened? If you need help, just say it and don't be polite to me!" Li Shiqun said.
"Just now, the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai called my home and said that Nariko Kojima was released. Wang Zhen asked me what to do. I thought it didn't matter. The gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai will not allow her to come to Shanghai again in the future. If she is allowed to be monitored by people from the experimental zone,
, it might cause trouble!" Chen Mingxiang said.
More than a dozen cars were parked in the yard of Fenghua Company's Suzhou office. There was an extra sign hanging at the gate, which read Haiyuan Salt Company's Suzhou Office.
A group of people wearing long robes and mandarin jackets got out of the car and entered the conference room of the office while chatting and laughing. Their faces actually looked a little happy.
Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. often interrupts the supply of salt due to lack of ships. Although Chen Mingxiang joins this industry, their retail profits may be reduced, but there is no problem in transportation, which is generally a good thing.
These are the big salt merchants in Su, Wichang and Zhenjiang areas. They received a notice from the Salt Affairs Bureau of the Provincial Government and came here to discuss the sale of salt.
Li Hongfei had informed them in advance about the division of sales areas, and everyone knew that this meeting was about Chen Mingxiang's plan to regulate the salt market.
"I am Chen Mingxiang, the boss of Haiyuan Salt Company. There are too many, so I won't introduce them to you one by one. I believe you have already heard the relevant information from Li Hongfei. In front of Chairman Li, let's go straight to the topic.
"
"In the urban areas of Suzhou, Wuchang, and Zhenjiang, the wholesale price of Haiyuan Salt Company is 80 yuan per catty. Your retail price cannot be higher than 1 yuan per catty. The wholesale price in rural areas is 60 cents per catty, and the retail price cannot be higher than 80 cents. This is
This is the boundary I draw for everyone."
"The Jiangsu Provincial Police Department and the Social Affairs Bureau have brought me relevant data. I know the number of salt shops for each person and the approximate sales range. Based on the population, I supply 4,500 tons of salt every month. The allocated
The ratio is, Suzhou has 2,000 tons, Xicheng and Changzhou have 1,000 tons each, and Zhenjiang has 500 tons.”
"Let me tell you clearly that this quantity can fully meet the local demand for salt. For example, in Suzhou now, more than 3 million people consume 1,500 tons of salt every month, and even 500 tons can be used to supply surrounding areas.
Regional sales.”
"The price of salt also fluctuates with the market. My request is that you cannot change the price without my permission. It cannot be higher or lower. The ugly words are ahead. You can ask me about my personality. There is no harm in following me.
, but you must abide by my rules of the game."
"If you dare to break the rules, the Japanese military police and the police station are waiting for you. If anyone doesn't believe it, just try to hit them. I don't care."
"I am only the upstream wholesaler, responsible for transporting the salt from the Lianghuai Salt Field to Zhenjiang, and then to the warehouse designated by you. We will negotiate the rest by ourselves. Next, you will first divide the territory and then determine the purchase volume.
, my salt industry company and the Salt Service Administration need to register." Chen Mingxiang said.
He regards himself as the rule maker and directly sets the rules without asking the opinions of this group of salt merchants. You have to listen whether you listen or not. If anyone is not convinced, he can discuss it with the Japanese military police and want to take over.
