At nine o'clock in the morning, the regular Monday meeting was held. Except for Qiao Muchai, all the heads of various departments were present.
Feng Qingshan raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and said to himself: "The stationmaster is usually on time, and he is almost never late. What happened today?"
Director Huang of the General Affairs Department said: "Secretary Wang just called and asked the General Affairs Department to prepare new furniture, a full set of pots and pans, etc. I guess there is a new person coming to the station, right?"
"Newcomer? At this time, which department is short of people?"
"Archives unit?"
"It could also be the Intelligence Department."
"The action team is also short of people. Three people died in the line of duty last month..."
Before he finished speaking, Secretary Wang pushed open the conference room door: "The webmaster is here!"
Qiao Mu just stepped in, and everyone stood up in unison, with their waists straight to show respect for the stationmaster.
Behind him was a major officer, who looked to be about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a handsome appearance. He was considered an outstanding figure among men.
Qiao Mu extended his hand to signal everyone to sit down and said to Secretary Wang beside him: "Is everyone here?"
Secretary Wang said: "The wife of Gao Ke has given birth to a baby. She took leave today and didn't come. Everyone else is here."
Qiao Mucai nodded, looked around at everyone, and said, "Before the meeting, I would like to introduce to you that this is Yang, the new chief of the telecommunications department."
The major officer Yang Shuo put his feet together and gave a half-circle military salute.
Feng Qingshan stood up and said with a smile: "Welcome, Chief Yang, now that you are here, I will feel relaxed, otherwise I would have to take care of the telecommunications department. Oh, let me introduce myself, I am Feng Qingshan, Director of the Intelligence Department.
.”
Yang Shuo hurriedly said: "Hello, Director Feng, please take good care of me in the future."
Qiao Mucai said: "Chief Yang, please take a seat first. I will introduce other colleagues to you after the meeting."
Secretary Wang walked over and guided Yang Shuo to his seat, and the conference room became quiet.
Qiao Mucai looked around the crowd and said: "Yesterday, the General Secretary issued a financial and economic emergency order and announced the Golden Yuan Coupon Issuance Law. In this law, private holdings of gold, silver, and foreign exchange are prohibited. All private holders,
The coupons must be redeemed into gold yuan before September 30, and any violation will be confiscated, and the national price will be frozen at the level of August 19."
As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the conference room.
Qiao Mucai patted the table gently: "Quiet, quiet! We are government officials and we should set an example. Therefore, I advise everyone to go to the bank to exchange the gold and silver foreign currency at home for gold yuan certificates as soon as possible. Otherwise,
Once it is found that something has been concealed, the consequences will be very serious!"
Jiang Xinyu said from the side: "Webmaster, the currency reform that was rumored some time ago refers to this decree, right?"
Qiao Mucai nodded: "Yes, now that prices are soaring, the government is determined to rectify the economic order. Economic supervisors will be appointed from above to supervise the issuance of gold yuan notes in major cities."
Feng Qingshan smiled: "The above idea is good, but it will not be so easy to implement. I am afraid that the thunder will be loud and the rain will be light, and it will not be resolved in the end. The credibility of the government will be damaged."
A section chief whispered: "Do we still have credibility?"
His words elicited a chuckle.
Qiao Mucai said: "Today at noon, this decree will be broadcast nationwide, and it will inevitably cause price fluctuations. The more times this happens, the more we must strictly guard against the Communist Party's resurgence. Director Feng, we must strengthen intelligence in this area recently.
Work."
"Yes." Feng Qingshan bowed slightly and said.
Qiao Mucai closed the folder and said: "In addition, everyone must know something about Jin Linyue. He is a very outstanding scientist. This person is very important to the government. Yesterday, Mayor Zhang hosted a banquet in an attempt to persuade him to agree to carry out the work.
, However, they didn’t buy it at all, and even sneered at the government, and their attitude was very unreasonable!”
Feng Qingshan said: "Webmaster, according to the information I have, during his time in the United States, Jin Linyue made pro-communist remarks many times, and even insinuated that General Tong was a dictator. I think it is not possible to get him to voluntarily lift the bend.
Very possible."
Qiao Mucai nodded: "This person is indeed difficult to deal with, but there is a saying that goes like this, sincerity can make a difference! If Mayor Zhang fails to persuade him, then he will change people in turn until he is persuaded.
Until the plane!”
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Stationmaster, are you planning to fight with wheels?"
"Your metaphor is good, yes, it's a wheel battle! Let's do this. I'll go meet Dr. Jin and Captain Jiang in person, and you can make arrangements."
"yes."

Minister Road.
Lotus Apartment.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a car slowly stopped on the side of the road, the left and right doors opened, and Qiao Muchai and Jiang Xinyu stepped out of the car.
In the distance was a three-story foreign-style building covering an area of nearly 2,000 square meters. Qiao Mucai looked at it for a while and said, "Xinyu, whose house is that?"
Jiang Xinyu said: "Oh, that's Zhang Xueliang's palace in Yanjin."
Qiao Mucai burst into laughter: "Palace? He's not the emperor, your wording is too exaggerated... I've heard that Zhang Xueliang has a house in Yanjin, so this is it."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "You will know if you go and take a look when you have the chance. I am not exaggerating at all when I say it is a palace."
"Tell me about it." Qiao Mucai clasped his hands behind his back and walked toward the Lotus Apartment.
"The first floor is a special stage, which is more grand than ordinary theaters. It has everything from dance halls, casinos, and bars. There are 42 rooms in total, and there is also a basement. High-end foreign wine and cigars are supplied all year round. The wood for the decoration is all shipped from the Philippines...
..." Jiang Xinyu introduced as he walked.
"No wonder you said it's a palace, that's all the emperor does."
"When it comes to eating, drinking and having fun, it is said that no one can match Shaoshuai Zhang."
Qiao Mucai sighed and said: "Well, back then Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the Pass and became a traitor that will be reviled by all generations. At least he had a reason to get angry and turn himself into a beauty. Zhang Xieliang gave Northeast China to Japan without firing a single shot.
People are really incomprehensible..."
While talking, the two came to the door of the apartment, and Jiang Xinyu reached out and rang the doorbell.
After a while, the door was half opened, and a woman in her forties dressed as a servant leaned forward and asked, "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"
"My surname is Jiang, and I am an engineer at the United Kerosene Plant. I met Dr. Jin at the airport. Please let me know." Jiang Xinyu took out his business card and handed it over.
"Please wait a moment." The servant took the business card and closed the door again.
Qiao Mucai said: "This Dr. Jin is quite impressive. He just asked us to come in."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "I heard that all knowledgeable people have some quirks in their personalities..."
