It had been more than an hour when the three of them came downstairs, but the maids downstairs just pretended not to see it, because the lax talkers had already been kicked out. The two sisters were given high salaries, and they were on New Year's Day.
There are also red envelopes and gifts during the holidays. It is not easy to find such a good job in this chaotic era.
While they were eating, Chen Gongbo came back. Of course, he called Bingxian to tell him this. He would be a little awkward if he asked other men to come to the house. As for Chen Mingxiang, he was not worried at all. The two sisters
Hua, is not as charming as the black cat Renji.
"Sit down and continue eating. Why are you standing up? You don't need to be so polite with me. Respect is not shown by these things." Chen Gongbo sat at the dining table, and a maid hurriedly served him a bowl of rice.
"Mayor, I haven't come here to eat for a long time. My work has been a bit cumbersome recently and I can't spare time. Just now, my two sisters-in-law and I supported them in opening a tea trading house to supply supplies to the municipal government and affiliated institutions.
The purchase will be shipped from my tea factory." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
This is a clear plan to send money to the two sisters. With Chen Gongbo's care, the government's tea must be purchased from the trading house run by them. The price is definitely not low. A pound of tea costs tens of yuan to several hundred yuan.
No one dares to ask, is it okay to earn hundreds of thousands more a month?
This kind of transaction is equivalent to just sitting and collecting money. It doesn't take much energy, and you are not afraid of settling the bill, let alone the yamen at all levels not buying it. It is indeed very suitable for the identities of the two sisters.
Hearing their sister-in-law being addressed like this, the two sisters immediately blushed. Chen Mingxiang sat across from them. One of them kicked Chen Mingxiang and said to her sister-in-law, "Bah, you can really scream."
"Brother Mingxiang is worried about their lives. I have to have a drink with you. I heard that you have contracted seven or eight tea farms in the whole of Jiangnan. There are two large tea factories in Hangzhou and Suzhou. The Longjing tea currently on the market is
Tea, Biluochun, Keemun black tea, Enshi Yulu tea, Huangshan Maofeng tea and Bamboo leaf green tea and more than ten kinds of tea, most of them are provided by you. They are of high quality and pure taste. Every Liu'an Guapian I drink comes from you.
I bought it from the tea shop." Chen Gongbo nodded and said.
Chen Mingxiang not only gave him money, but also gave Mo Guokang a coal company, and opened a salt shop and tea trading house for the two sisters. Such a subordinate was so considerate that he deserved his support.
"Mayor, can Chairman Wang come to Shanghai on time to attend the opening ceremony?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"No problem, the itinerary has been decided. Please prepare patiently. However, his physical condition is not very good. It is not easy to attend the ceremony of the police academy this time."
"There is something I want to hear your opinion on. Zhou Fahai plans to have Li Shiqun resign as provincial chairman in the name of the Jinling government. Do you think it is reliable?" Chen Gongbo asked.
"It's impossible. Li Shiqun will never resign voluntarily. His character determines that private operations will not work. Mayor, I don't think Minister Zhou's considerations are good. This position is his fundamental and foundation. It is different from
Secretary General of the Qingxiang Committee."
"This matter must be handled carefully. The forces of the Secret Service Headquarters are all over Central China. It is not troublesome for those secret agents to make trouble. If you want to deal with Li Shiqun, you have to do it secretly, cut off his connection with the Secret Service Headquarters, and then let the imperial army
Real-time shock.”
"But the problem is, after all, he is one of the most important figures in our Jinling government. If we kill him, the impact will be too great. I'm worried that everyone will be in danger at that time, or someone will take the initiative to defect to the Shancheng government, turning it into a mess.
, no one can take care of it." Chen Mingxiang said.
"You are right to think about it. I think so too. Chairman Wang means the same thing. He can only choose one between the provincial chairman of Jiangsu Province and the director of the secret service headquarters. When July 1, Chairman Wang will talk to him again.
You also have to do his ideological work, after all, you two are familiar with each other." Chen Gongbo said.
Chen Mingxiang almost rolled his eyes. It's true. Li Shiqun is probably going crazy now. You are still discussing taking away his position as provincial chairman. Isn't this seeking the skin of a tiger?
"I think it would be better for General Chaishan of the Mei Agency to talk to him about this matter. My talks with him have yielded no results, and our identities are not equal. He is just a police chief, talking to a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and the provincial chairman.
Talking about resignation is not in line with the rules, it is okay for me to send a message." Chen Mingxiang said.
"As long as you do your best, it's none of your business whether the negotiation is successful or not. In a few days, June 30th, Chu Minyi, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Jinling Government, will sign the final agreement to take back the public concession with the new Japanese Ambassador Tani Masayuki.
An agreement has been reached. According to the communication between the two parties, we will officially take back the public concession on August 1."
"Although the negotiations with the French government are not progressing very smoothly, Japan has helped us put pressure on the French government. We must take back the concession within months. The issue of the French concession must be resolved before the public concession."
"After the two concessions are recovered, the entire administrative area of Shanghai will be changed into eight districts. The public concession will become the first district of Shanghai, and the French concession will become the eighth district. I will temporarily serve as the administrative office of the two districts.
Chief, the Shanghai Police Department will become the Second Police Department, the Public Concession Industrial Bureau Police Department and the Shanghai West Special Police Headquarters will be merged into the First Police Department, and the French Concession Patrol Room will become the Third Police Department."
"I will concurrently serve as the chief of both the First and Third Police Stations. I appoint you, Lu Ying and Pan Tao as deputy chiefs temporarily. This is just a temporary measure. They will become branches in the future. When you consider your work, you must consider the entire
When considering police work in Shanghai, don’t just look at the first and third police stations.” Chen Gongbo said.
That is to say, starting from August 1st, there will no longer be the name Concession in Shanghai. Although the Wang Puppet Government only took back the Concession in form, which was a means of coaxing the Japanese invaders, the difference between the real concession and the previous Concession is not very big.
, but Chen Mingxiang still feels a little in his heart that the century-old concession will finally become history!
The Public Concession and the French Concession are the current essence of the entire Shanghai City. The so-called Great Shanghai City originated from these two concessions. More than half of the wealth is concentrated here, and the status is very important. Therefore, the mayor Chen Gongbo serves as both of these two concessions.
The mayor of the new district.
But the problem now is that the French Concession is the last relatively safe area for activities. The Japanese always want to give the French government some face, and they still have scruples when taking action.
However, with the return of administrative power to the Wang Puppet Government, the Japanese will become unscrupulous in their actions. This is definitely not good news for the underground party and military reunification agents operating in the French Concession!
