- >>->Going to look at the situation outside the gates of several Japanese-owned factories, Chen Mingxiang could not help but be extremely satisfied. The workers did not destroy anything or hold demonstrations. They just stayed quietly in the workshop, waiting for the representatives to negotiate with the Japanese businessmen.
As a result, everything looks in order.
The Japanese military police and Marines came and circled around as if their butts were on fire, but quickly withdrew. There was no need to be alert in such a quiet scene. It was just a waste of time. A few sentries sent by the Ministry of Industry and Police Department were enough.
.
Since the workers just asked for some food to ensure their survival, the Japanese businessmen did not object. They were not blind, and the little salary they were given could not buy a few kilograms of rice. Not only were the workers hungry and had no energy to work, but there was also a
With so many hungry family members walking unsteadily, who can think of work?
White rice is a bit difficult. If it doesn't work, give broken rice or whole grains. Anyway, the principle is that you can work until you starve to death. As for the source of food, we can only ask the Consulate General in Shanghai to come forward. This is to produce materials for the empire. Where can we go?
Buy food?
But the grain speculators in Shanghai were dumbfounded. It was raining all night because of the leak. Seeing that things were turning around, they didn't expect such a thing to happen!
"The situation is now very passive. The news we got is that the power of food rationing for Shanghai residents will be transferred to the Food Department of the Jinling government next month. The higher-ups also specially told us to hold on for a few days to see which way the wind blows.
Variety."
"I originally thought that this matter would go unsolved if it was dragged on for a long time, but I didn't expect that the workers suddenly went on strike. The Japanese were so stimulated that they turned their backs and arrested Lao Zhang and the others to the gendarmerie!" said a grain merchant surnamed Liu.
said.
As soon as the strike started, the Special Higher Education Department and the Intelligence Department went out in force, arresting twelve people at once, and sent them all to the Gendarmerie Headquarters. These are big players in the industry, absolute leaders, and they were lucky enough not to be arrested.
Several people hurriedly got together to discuss countermeasures.
"Everyone knows that the Japanese are getting impatient and are starting to be cruel to us grain merchants. I informed Jinling, but it was of no use at all. Those officials made arrogant words when they took the money, and they all had diarrhea at the critical moment.
Got it!"
"I finally understood. The arm holding the Jinling government is useless. The thin arm cannot twist the Japanese thigh. The deputy minister of finance who presided over the joint investigation team was completely kept in the dark and refused to give him any help.
I called, but I didn’t know that something like this had happened,” said the grain merchant surnamed Ma.
Deputy Minister of Finance Chen Zhishuo was indeed wrongly accused. Consulate General in Shanghai Horiuchi did not communicate with him at all when he made the decision in the castle. Not to mention him, even Zhou Hai, who dared to do so if he told you to do so.
Any comments?
"After going on and on, if we want to solve the problem this time, we still have to find Chen Mingxiang to come forward and negotiate. If I had known that this would be the result, I would have just agreed last time. Wouldn't there be so many things? If you don't have to drink wine for a toast, I
I'm worried that if the price offered this time is different, not only will I not make any money, but I will fall into a trap and die half to death." A grain merchant named Han spoke.
"Old Han, you are thinking only after the fact. You were the one who opposed the most fiercely at the beginning. You also said that you can earn 500 yuan less per stone of rice. We will earn hundreds of millions less from these tens of thousands of tons. Now that Lao Zhang and the others have been arrested, you
On the contrary, I have been enlightened and become an immortal, so what if I can pinch it?" The grain merchant surnamed Liu curled his lips and said.
The grain merchant surnamed Han was trembling with anger, but he still held back and did not break the bridge of his old enemy's nose with a fist.
People around were not surprised. The reason was that these two guys were old enemies. It was just that Han and Liu fell in love with a backup dancer in a dance hall. In the end, Han married her and took her home.
The fourth concubine's aunt, whose surname was Liu, held a grudge for this, and spoke in a shady manner, always trying to tear down the surnamed Han.
"Stop talking these useless nonsense, find some connections and meet with the people inside first, confirm our bottom line, and then go to negotiate with Chen Mingxiang. This time we have to bring a generous gift to the door, and prepare more gold dollars.
We also need to take care of the gendarmerie headquarters. Since we are eating this bowl of rice, we are bound to be slaughtered," said the grain merchant surnamed Ma.
Now that they arrived at the prison at the Gendarmerie Headquarters, the twelve grain merchants received no special treatment and went straight into the cells. Listening to the screams coming from the interrogation room, their clothes were soaked with cold sweat and they were trembling all over.
The most frightening thing is that after being arrested, there was no movement until dark. The dinner was a cold and hot pottery mixed with sand and a bowl of cold water.
There is no doubt that this is not for nothing. The Japanese military police do not have such kind hearts. But if you put these two things together, it is inevitable that you will have diarrhea and diarrhea in one night.
Don't want to eat? It's very good, just put it in your cell, and you can tell you when to finish your next meal. Besides, the cell is not only humid and stuffy, but there is only one toilet, and the whole room is full of stench.
These people go out and ride in cars, wearing suits or leather shoes or silk and satin, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. How long ago did this happen to you?
"So far, no one has come to visit us with clothes, and everyone outside is dead? We were caught in prison and suffered for everyone's benefit. If they do too much, don't think you can stand on the shore and watch the fun.
, sooner or later you will be dragged into the water!"
They yelled at their colleagues in the cell, but they didn't know that that night, their accomplices actually applied to the Special High School Section for a visit and gave them some clothes and food. However, they were sternly rejected by Major Okamura Shizo, the commander of the Special High School Section, and sent him
I didn't even accept the gift, I just threw it out the door.
To receive a gift, you have to do something. If you default on the payment, you may get a good deal at the time, but no one will come to give it to you later. This is a way of cutting off your own financial path.
But things need to be prioritized. This food shortage issue is a major matter related to the safety of the Shanghai stock market and the interests of the empire. Accepting gifts casually is irresponsible for one's own future.
Major Okamura Shizo is a very shrewd guy, and he naturally does things in a measured manner. What's more, with Chen Mingxiang coming forward to negotiate with the speculators, are you afraid that there will be no benefits to be gained?
"Section Chief, I don't think we should rush into negotiations at this time. We should let things dry first and then continue to arrest people. The greater the noise in the special higher education courses, the greater the pressure they will be under, and the more benefits we will get."
"At noon the day after tomorrow, people from outside will be allowed to visit the prison. In the evening, I will treat these people to dinner. This matter will basically be settled." Chen Mingxiang said to Major Gangcun.
He was staring at the police school exam and didn't want to talk to this group of people for the time being. The exam questions were also freshly released. He had to pass the questions and answers to the military commanders who were taking the exam. There was always something to be prepared for.
If you get kicked off the first level, you're really going to make a fool of yourself.
