Eight hundred and ninetieth eight chapters cast a net to block five
After the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government's Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the first administrative order to implement material control power was to require major textile factories, trading houses and textile shops in Shanghai to register their respective inventories of cotton cloth and cotton yarn.
However, this order was met with silent resistance from all forces. Not only the Japanese businessmen were too lazy to pay attention to it, but also the Chinese businessmen in the Shanghai stock market were waiting to see what happened. Four days later, few of the prescribed registration organizations, the Gauze Exchange, had bothered to deal with it.
remember.
"Everyone knows that as the supervisor and deputy secretary-general of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, I am only responsible for contacting the municipal government and the Japanese military agencies in Shanghai. I am just a part-time person who delivers information. It is not convenient for me to speak about the work of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. If you have any questions,
It’s good that you need me to convey the suggestion,” Chen Mingxiang said.
In view of the unsatisfactory progress in the registration of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, the top management of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Unification held a meeting on the 20th. Chen Mingxiang originally did not want to attend, but Tang Shoumin, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Unification, personally called to invite him.
Refute this face.
When I arrived at the venue, I realized that these big guys from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry were really insidious. They actually wanted him to come forward to participate in this work, win support from the Japanese and the city government for the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and put pressure on the businessmen. Then he could
I won't agree.
"Brother, this was the first task of our Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and it ended up being a deadlock. I was held up in the air by these businessmen, unable to get up or down. It was terribly uncomfortable. If the stalemate continues like this, our Chamber of Commerce and Industry will
There is no more prestige at all, and future work will be even more difficult."
"We all know that brother, you have strong strength and background. You have great influence both in the municipal government and the Japanese organization in Shanghai. As long as brother is willing to accept this important task, we will find a way to obtain cotton resources for you. The Chamber of Commerce and Unification
There is no obstruction this way." Lin Kanghou said.
The chairman and chief supervisor are the main leaders of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, but if they talk directly to Chen Mingxiang, they will have no room for change once they are rejected. Therefore, Secretary-General Lin Kanghou can only come forward for an interview first.
On the surface, this condition sounds very generous, and it also identifies Chen Mingxiang’s key point. His three textile factories in Suzhou require a large amount of cotton to start production. Unfortunately, although Chen Mingxiang is young, he has no understanding of the industry.
It is too clear that there is no way to deceive him!
Cotton cloth and cotton yarn are important war resources for the Japanese army. Not counting the cotton and cotton yarn shipped back to the country, how much cotton cloth does the hundreds of thousands of troops in the pass need in a year?
Therefore, Japanese businessmen have very strict control over cotton channels, and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry has no way to intervene at all. The suggestions they give are almost like farts. Are you sure it is not a joke to use such conditions as compensation?
Furthermore, Chen Mingxiang is currently cutting down his own industry, and two textile factories are about to close. Even if he is given cotton resources, he cannot take them. Isn’t that not eye-catching enough?
More importantly, these old foxes have bad intentions. Whoever takes on this task will have to break up with the businessmen in the entire cotton textile industry chain. The water is too deep and you might drown. You don’t want to offend anyone.
, do I just want to offend people?
The task of a strategic agent is not to offend people, but to find ways to expand relationships. Who doesn't know that the collusion between officials and businessmen of the Wang Puppet Government has formed an intricate chain of interests. For such an errand, there is no possibility of connecting, and it is too late to hide!
"I'm sorry, this job requires a lot of energy and long-term negotiations. I really don't have the skills to do all the work. Don't forget, I am not only the Chief of Police, but I also have seven or eight part-time jobs to deal with. Again,
If you have any suggestions, I can pass them on, but nothing else is needed."
"Even if I agree, it is impossible for the Japanese and the city government to agree. It will delay the processing of many important affairs. If you don't believe me, you can talk to these two sides. If they really agree to me taking over, I will definitely shoulder my responsibilities.
"Chen Mingxiang said calmly.
At this point, there is no need for the two sides to continue talking. These people also know that Chen Mingxiang is not so easy to fool. As long as he walks out of this door, he will definitely greet the relevant parties. Can the city government and the Japanese garrison agree to the Chamber of Commerce and Unification?
The request is the devil.
Chen Mingxiang started his career in the smuggling business, and his success today is not measured by his age. Since people don't take the bait, they can only pretend that they haven't mentioned it. If Chen Mingxiang is offended, their life will be difficult. This guy is known as
Hands and eyesight.
On March 20th, the Wang Puppet Government in Jinling also welcomed its new top military adviser, Lieutenant General Shibayama Kaneshiro, who officially took office. Wang Jingwei also held a grand welcome ceremony for this.
But unlike Lieutenant General Matsui, this ceremony was completely comparable to Hideki Tojo's visit. Even Chen Gongbo rushed from Shanghai to Jinling to attend, which shows the high importance he attached to Kenshiro Shibayama.
"Shibayama Kenshiro received orders from the cabinet and the military and came to implement the empire's new strategy. That's why Chairman Wang gave him such high courtesy. That's how things are. As long as it's good for you, isn't it easy to just show off?
Goto Shigeru said with a sneer.
When Chen Mingxiang saw this guy's face, he knew that Xiong Jiandong's words were correct. Goto Shigeru must have received the news of being transferred. He directly called Shibayama Kenshiro by his name, without even mentioning the two generals. This clearly understood the problem.
.
In the Japanese army military police system, the military police stationed in Shanghai was the most lucrative position. He was used to a luxurious life, high consumption, and a steady stream of wealth. To suddenly lose all these, he must be reluctant to let go, and he felt very bad about it.
.
"Chen Jun, this is an authorization document signed by General Hata Toshiro, Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Forces. It has the signatures of Lieutenant General Matsui Tataro, Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada, Commander of the Thirteenth Army, Yujo Horiuchi, Consul General in Shanghai, and myself.
It also has the signatures of Admiral Furukawa Mine of the Fleet Headquarters and Lieutenant General Kakuzaburo Makita, Commander of the Marine Corps."
"Every signatory of this top-secret document has a backup copy, so you are not afraid of losing it. This is your own copy. If anyone uses this matter to cause trouble in the future, show it to him. If you want to find trouble, ask these signatures
"Who will answer or not?" Kinoshita Eichi said with a somewhat unsightly expression on his face.
What Chen Mingxiang didn't expect was that when he came back from outside the customs this time, when he asked for a power of attorney, Kinoshita Eichi agreed very happily, and the application was completed in just a few days.
"Thank you very much for your help, General. With this document, I won't worry about anyone making a fuss about Huatong Trading Company's smuggling channels!"
"But why did I hear the news that Mr. Goto is going to be transferred back to the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters, and that Major Okamura is going to be transferred back to the Special High School Course? Is this true?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
